Pregnant woman beaten, stoned in honor killingMay 27, 2014 11:13 PM
Share with others:
LAHORE, Pakistan -- A pregnant Pakistani woman was beaten to death by her family Tuesday outside a courthouse in the eastern city of Lahore because she had defied their wishes and married the man of her choice, police officials said.
Police investigators said Farzana Parveen, 25, was beaten to death on a busy street as a crowd of about 30 men watched but did nothing.
Such attacks, commonly known as honor killings, are common in pockets of rural Pakistan where tribal traditions are strong. But they are relatively rare in large, cosmopolitan cities such as Lahore, and Ms. Parveen's death was taken as further evidence of the failure of Pakistan's increasingly weak police to protect vulnerable members of society.
Ms. Parveen, who came from a small Punjabi village 57 miles west of Lahore, enraged her family in January when she married Muhammad Iqbal, a widower from a neighboring village, instead of the cousin who had been chosen by her parents. Her parents brought a police complaint against Mr. Iqbal, claiming that he had kidnapped their daughter.
On Tuesday, Ms. Parveen was scheduled to appear in court in Lahore in the case. Her lawyer said she intended to tell the court that she had not been coerced into the marriage. She was three months pregnant.
As she met with her lawyer early in the morning, a large group of men from her home village gathered outside the lawyer's offices. The crowd attacked her as she walked the short distance to the city High Court.
One of Ms. Parveen's brothers stepped forward and fired a gun at her but missed, police said, and she stumbled and fell as she tried to flee. He caught her and beat her on the head with bricks from a nearby construction site.
A crowd of witnesses, including her father, failed to intervene during the beating, and Ms. Parveen died of her injuries, police said. Her brother fled, and police later arrested her father, Muhammad Azeem, over the killing.
Honor killings in Pakistan are often mistakenly described as the product of Islamic law. Some reports Tuesday described Ms. Parveen as the victim of a stoning -- an image that conjures up images of Taliban-era executions of women accused of adultery -- because she had been beaten to death with bricks.
But such killings more often stem from tribal traditions or deep-rooted cultural norms. The independent Human Rights Commission reported that 869 women were stabbed, shot, beaten or burned to death in honor killings in Pakistan in 2013, usually at the hands of close family. The attacks have a variety of names in different languages, but are usually referred to as "black work," a reference to the culturally unacceptable practice of marrying without familial consent.
In some cases, the killings are sanctioned by tribal councils or other community groups; men are also sometimes killed in such cases, but much less frequently.
As the country becomes more urbanized, and the middle class grows in size, marriages conducted through free choice are becoming more common. But for many young Pakistanis, the choice of a marriage partner is strongly influenced, if not entirely dictated, by parents.
Lawyers who defend women at risk of honor killing are routinely subjected to death threats, and the men who carry out the killings often escape imprisonment through an Islamic provision of Pakistani law that allows the perpetrator of a crime to avoid penalties by making a cash payment to the family of the victim. When honor killings take place inside a family, such a payment may not even be made.
Had she made it to the courthouse Tuesday, Ms. Parveen would have told the court that she had married Mr. Iqbal of her own free will, said her lawyer, Rao Mohammad Kharal. "Farzana was here to tell the court that she married of her own choice," he told Agence France-Presse.
Mr. Iqbal accused Ms. Parveen's father, two brothers and three other men of being behind her killing, according to a police report.
Hours later, in an interview from inside the jail cell where he was being held, Mr. Azeem said he had killed his daughter to preserve the family's honor.

It's evident that there is fruit here and it's abounding! Praise God! Read on … (or is that Ride on? …) How about both? Let us hear from you !!! JULY 2011 Volume 5, ISSUE 16 1 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator NORTHERN ONTARIO Tour - (July 12 – 16) We began from Ottawa on Tuesday morning riding to Barrie. After church service at Victory Faith that night, we rode the next day to Tobermory where we stayed the night to catch the ferry. We then rode to Sudbury for church service at Restoration Ministries on Thursday night, then on to Huntsville on Friday where we had a planned Chariots Meeting in the local library. It was a great time of re-igniting the vision and sharing with each other our reason for being a part of Chariots. Be sure and read the testimonies from those that joined us on pages 15 – 17 of this issue in the International section. Much thanks to Shane Patriquin for his planning this ride as well as the Pastors Glenn Fyvie and Jeff Edwards for hosting our tour. Our Ontario Chapter President, Adrian & Irene Weening, were along as well as seven other COL Leaders. New friendships formed and old re-kindled. Great Tour! Blessings to all ! COL Northern Ontario Tour 2011 2 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator Upcoming COL Tours: ALASKA - August 2 – 8 WYOMING - September 7 – 14 CAROLINAS OUTERBANKS - October 16 – 23 We have dedicated and passionate people that believe in this ministry and do their part and we're so proud to be associated with each other. Thank you all, Chariots of Light, for shining and for making us all brighter together for the glory of God! You can read in this issue, by COL Chapter, what Chariots of Light are doing across the USA, Australia and Canada. The majority of these reports are just for the month of JULY! Go COL ! Joe & Connie Sabo – North Carolina Eastern Chapter Testimony – Praise Report: Joe and I partnered with Dr. Jerry Savelle when we became involved with the Chariots of Light. Each month we look forward to his teachings, and I want to tell you our testimony about putting the prayer of petition into action. th On June 12 , we were invited to go on a mission trip with our pastor, his wife, and another couple to Jamaica leaving July 30th. Joe and I have never been out of the country and we have never done anything like this before. We sought God, and it was confirmed that we were to go. God confirmed this to me in His Word (John 15:16). We did not have passports, and we had not saved or budgeted for such a trip. (Joe and I do not use credit cards. We believe in living debt free!). In addition, we no longer have a motorcycle, but we knew God was leading us to purchase a vehicle that we could ride and enjoy on the upcoming tour ride to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Now in the natural, all this looks a little impossible (Joe works, but I don't even have a job these days). I got up early one morning (4am) searched the scriptures, prayed, and I wrote out a prayer of petition for these needs. Joe and I signed, dated, prayed over the petition, and we sowed several seeds activating our faith!! We sowed a seed into another mission trip at another church, we sowed seed into other ministries, and since I am not working I sowed seeds of my time and cooking efforts! th Within one week, we had been given a check for $500. We applied for our passports on Friday, June 17 and had them th in our possession by Wednesday, Jun 29 . (Supposedly, it was going to take 6-8 weeks to get them.) During this time, Joe found a 29 Ford Roadster for sale on eBay, and we began praying about this. In the natural, I could not see this happening, but again, began opening doors, supplying funds, and even gave Joe a ministry opportunity as he and a friend drove to Ohio to make this purchase. Again, God worked out all the details down to the purchase price and supplying funds for traveling. I had posted our petition on the refrigerator and every time I saw it I began to thank God for his provision. It had been over two (2) weeks, and I was wondering how in the world God was going to take care of this need. This was a lot of money th for us! On June 30 , Joe sent me a text from work telling me that he received a bonus that was owed him from several months prior as well as an additional $3500 bonus (total $5000). God met every need that we sought him for! Since last August after leaving the PAL meeting in Texas, it was been a journey. The enemy has tried to shut us up and shut us down, but we are proclaiming the goodness of God, the mercy of God, the patience of God, His Holiness, and His Awesomeness!! Joe will be singing at the services while in Jamaica, and several of the songs he will be doing will be some that Len Mink have sung on tour rides we have attended. 3 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator I just want to thank you for teaching us about prayer – the prayer of petition, and now I am looking for more opportunities to put that into practice and to be able to share with others the goodness – the Glory of our Father. Looking forward to riding with the Chariots of Light in October – we'll be in the back in the 29 Roadster! DuWayne Petersen - Minnesota North Central Chapter 7-9-11 We rode to Anamosa, Iowa to go through the Motorcycle Museum and check out J & P Motorcycle Supply. We spent the night in Anamosa and rode along the Mississippi River home. Great roads, warm weather and good fellowship and OH MY the FOOD. 7-17-11 We had a ride and meeting. Preached at the Generation Church, MN. It was a great ride to Mora. We had 5 guys ride who have never rode with us before. Two will be joining up with Chariots shortly Jerry Lamping - Montana Northwest Chapter th Winter would not let go of us this year. Glacier Park didn't open till July 13 . When the snow melted half the state was under water. July 16th we rode to a youth camp and visited for awhile and then we went to a flea market in Lincoln and witnessed. July 23rd we plan to attend Evil Kneivel Days in Butte, MT. I hope I will have something good to report. We have many summer activities going on as we ride as much as we can. Aaron Baker - California Pacific West Chapter We had the Christian Unity Motorcycle Rally. We joined other Christian motorcycle clubs united to bring Jesus Glory! We met many new friends and discussed a youth outreach for October 1, 2011. We had prayers for various club as there were many Christian clubs united together to praise Jesus. There was a 50-50 raffle, custom trophies (COL won 5), live music, and vendors. A great time with like minded believers. Jay Frayser – Arkansas South Central Chapter On July 1st we had our monthly meeting, 14 chariots, 5 guest, 4 kids = 23 total. We discussed the upcoming events, had a bible study, and prayed over people. July 4th we went to a fireworks show and gathered with another bike club Faith Riders, they are now excited about partnering with our chapter at events in the future. July 8th we had a dinner run to Fayetteville; this was mainly to start the plowing of the soil process for BBB. (Bikes, Blues & Barbeque) We are going to ride to Fayetteville (specifically Dixon Street, where BBB is held) 4 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator every Friday night between now and BBB, this will also allow us the opportunity to sow some seed into the lives of people on Dixon Street. We had 11 Chariots including David and Terry Broyles from Kansas. We also conducted a private COL meeting on 7/29 and 13 members attended, we discussed the finances of the upcoming HD Birthday party, and BBB booth needs and the pastors dinner at our house on Aug 7th. Randy Traffanstedt - Alabama Southeast Chapter Above and Below … here are a few pictures from the Spring Bike Week at Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach in May where COL members from the Southeast Chapter went to assist and be a part ! What a blessing! May – I just want to inform you of my involvement at the Spring Bike Rally in North Myrtle Beach, SC. Even though the COL Outreach is in the Eastern Chapter (South Carolina), members from our Southeast Chapter, again, made the commitment to assist. We left Rainsville, Alabama on May 13th for what we call "Mission America." Me, Mark, Hammer and Pastor Mike and Sherrie went believing that souls were going to be won for the kingdom of God! I believe that this event was more for my team and J.'s team than anything. Souls, healings, and miracles were awesome and we were glad to be a part. Praise God ! July 4 - We set up the tent and handed out surveys and other items at the Potato Festival at our COL Outreach over the 4th of July in Alabama. We handed out 364 surveys with 11 first time salvations, 125 decisions. We ministered and prayed and many were prayed with for physical needs as well as healings and other things. We felt like that it was a very good outreach. Praise God! We enjoyed the fellowship. 5 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator Mark Bradley – Alabama Southeast Chapter May – The most important thing I learned at the Myrtle Beach Outreach was to be Spirit-led in all things! Making decisions or trying to do things on our own can only complicate or make things worse. If we pray and wait on our answer and do as we feel we are being led to do. I learned to be stronger in faith; first you must be willing to be humble. Trust God and don't give up! Push through what comes at you and have enough faith that God will shine. The devil makes it so easy for us to want to just give up or quit but in those times pull closer to God and He will prevail! Then when all works out, give all the glory to the Father because without Him we are nothing. George Galdeen - Texas Southwest Chapter We plan to go to the local Bike Rally and talk to them (CMA is working the gate) about allowing us to just go in for 30 minutes or so and see if it is something we might want to setup for next year as far as a club outreach. Billy Sanders - Texas Southwest Chapter Since my last report; we ate, fellowshipped, rode and had meetings. The Route 66 Tour was great; both Areas' Meetings that I was able to make was well attended & very organized; Monty's biker Sunday celebrating his 1 year church anniversary was very good with a wonderful turnout with good food, biker games & an outstanding raffle (I won one of the biker games & several of the raffle items, LOL) Prayed for Healings & Needs. 8 decisions for Christ while wearing COL Colors. Steve Moore - Texas Southwest Chapter April 18 We ate and had our regular meeting, discussing the upcoming tours, asking for a Road Captain and input for monthly rides. This is our first meeting since we moved to our new date (3rd Monday of each month) to facilitate rides on the weekends. Lavera Williams accepted the position of Treasurer to keep the finances gathered by the Area members. Thanks, Lavera! We prayed for numerous family members and friends who are battling and overcoming illness. We lifted up Spike and Karen Blevins for wisdom in their new business venture and continued manifestation of healing for Karen recovering from cancer. Our area continues to flourish and the members are branching out with food outreach by Charlie Ray, Dale and Sylvia Moore, Charlie Schubert in Seguin reaching dozens of needy households. Praise God for expanding the vision! This group is founded and grounded on front line witnessing at the local level. I am honored to be associated with these folks. May 15 We held two services, one for the general population and one for the Medium Custody offenders. During the Medium Custody service, we had 58 offenders, my wife Rose, me and 60 chairs in a small room. After waiting 25 minutes into the service time for the men to arrive, we had a short praise and worship time led by a trustee who played several original songs. The men were loud and disrespectful. I waited until he finished and left the room before I spoke. I told the men I understand they only get one hour a day out of their cells, but the room they were in now is God's House. I told them how disrespectful they had been to a man of God, and 6 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator they were free to leave if they hadn't come for a church service. No one left. Men were scowling at me. In the natural it should have been very scary to an old guy and his wife with 58 guys who were in prison for violent offenses. But it wasn't. I knew God wanted me to say what I said and I WASN'T MOVING AN INCH. After I got their attention, I lightened the mood with a lot of humor and compassion in my message (Spirit led). No one looked away or talked for the remainder of the message. When I finished, I looked them all in the eye and said "Believe it or Don't." Then I asked them if they were ready to get right. They all stood up and as I asked them to repeat the Prayer of Salvation, 58 MEN REPEATED THE PRAYER AS ROSE AND I WATCHED WITH JOY OVERFLOWING! PRAISE GOD! WE HAD CHURCH AND I BELIEVE THEIR LIVES WERE CHANGED THAT DAY. What they do from now on is up to them. God's divine providence and protection was on that place. I'm excited to see what happens next time…Glory! This was the most moving service we have had in the seven years we have been going to the Torres Unit. We have had church before, but never a single move of God on every man in the place. What a victory for Jesus. We will continue to go into that place with expectations for God to show Himself Great every time! May 16 We ate and had our regular meeting following with the announcement of our Spring Fundraiser. After many looks at the calendar, we chose 6/11 to be the date of our Iron Butt Run. Pledge sheets will be circulated throughout the SW Chapter and all members are encouraged to sponsor the riders. Currently, 10 riders plan to make the 1000 mi/24 hr ride. We prayed over the run and the safety of the riders. As always we prayed and lifted up those in need, especially Hiram's sister who is overcoming pneumonia in the hospital. Our folks continue to focus on outreach. We have a Day of Champions event on 6/4 at the Hays County Juvenile Center. All of our members locally have pledged to be there! We have had several new attendees who have expressed great interest in becoming Chariots. June 4 Day of Champions – Juvenile Center – We had 40 salvations and 15 re-dedications with 90 youth in attendance!! Praise God ! We had many opportunities to witness to these young people after the program in their dorms, as well as the staff. The most heartfelt outreach was in the detainee unit. These youth are still awaiting trial and sentencing. I believe many seeds were planted because we spoke into their lives about facing fear and the consequences of their decisions. June 11 Iron Butt Ride - We rode 1165 miles with no safety issues and a lot of heat from the pavement and the big ole SUN! It was a glorious time of fellowship and bathed in prayer. Iron Butt riders who are COL members were Steve Moore, Howard Forbes, Dale Moore, and John Norvell. We challenge other areas to get out there and ride for Jesus - HARD CORE! We talked to lots of folks along the way who were curious and prayed with several for various needs. What a beautiful witness for Jesus, safe, blessed, sunburned…ready for bed! I was very proud of these guys, never a cross word, or unsafe riding move. We were able to glide along the West Texas roads, loving the wide open spaces and the 80 mph speed limit, yo! June 20 We ate and had our regular meeting following discussing the results and the excitement during the ride on the Spring Fundraiser. 5 riders braved the heat (112 degrees in El Paso ½ way through) making the 1000 mi/24 hr ride in 21 ½ hours. We collected $1175.00 with more to come from the pledges. Again we prayed and lifted up those in need, especially Hiram's sister who is battling mightily and overcoming pneumonia, complicated with heart issues and Diabetes in the hospital. We will believe the report of the Lord! 7 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator The Day of Champions event on 6/4 at the Hays County Juvenile Center was a huge victory for Jesus and we all shared personal experiences. It is so good to encourage and to be encouraged, Amen? July 15 We had our monthly meeting and are laying the foundational plan for the October Outreach at the Kyle Unit. Tim Patterson - Texas Southwest Chapter th We had our meeting and ride on July 9 . We did the Bible Study, ride & eat & fellowship. We had awesome prayers. John Pelizzari - Texas Southwest Chapter Dear Chariots of Light, Hey Guys! Thanks for your time. I just wanted to let you know about an event we have coming up that you might want to prayerfully consider being a part of. On September 30th and October 1st we are having a motorcycle rally that is geared towards getting the Word of God into the Texas prison system, starting in Gatesville. There are around 12,000 inmates in the Gatesville prison alone. The Motorcycle rally will have games, prizes, and a singer whom you will love, Eddy B. (who does prison ministry all over the US). In addition, there will be several speakers which will pump you up. I think you'll love it. We'll have a great time. I hope we will see you there. Thank you for your prayerful considerations. Bless you! Monty Van Horn - Texas Southwest Chapter July 2 We got to bless Prospect Dennis and his new scooter. (Bike blessing)! After our prayer we mounted up for a short ride. We had 6 bikes and 2 cages with 7 Chariots, 5 Prospects and 1 child on the ride. When we arrived at Tony's place, I told Antonio that we had something special for him and to put on his vest. He took off to find his vest and you could see the worried look on him as he returned. Tony smiled as Antonio went to the cage and checked to see if it was there. Finally, I told him we would just give him the present and he could put it on his vest when he finds it. The look on his face was priceless as Lil' Light pulled Antonio's vest from out of the bag! "My vest!" He was in awe as he looked at his name tag and the Chariots patch on the back. He slipped into it quickly and showed off his patch! Then we gathered around him and prayed over him. 8 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator July 3 The Lord brought in just under 60 souls this morning for our Praise and Worship Rally! Before the service got started I called Wally and Mike up to the front. We presented them their colors. COL Wally on the left smiling as I congratulate COL Mike / Praying and claiming the anointing on our new brothers. Me presenting Carolynn her "colors" / Nine of our twelve Chariots present for the event! Then that same evening the Lord brought in nearly 40 souls for our monthly Tunin' Spokes! The biggest turn out we have ever had! We enjoyed great fellowship and food and then went into the sanctuary for some music! Before we started, I called up Carolynn (told her she was going to sing the first song) and presented to her the children's patch. She was surprised and had big smiles when she noticed the patch. July 4 The Gatesville Chariots joined the Highway 2 Heaven Biker Church for their annual 4th of July Parade Party! There were over 64 souls at the party! We had 10 of the 12 Chariots present for this event! After the parade and the BBQ most of the Chariots along with a couple guests went for a ride! Imagine that! We went out to the retreat center and lifted up prayer for God's manefestation to take place. Amen! July 5 The Gatesville Chariots had their monthly meeting and we had 11 of our 12 chariots present! God is so good! We had five (5) prospects and two (2) guests as well! He just keeps bringing in the servants! We discussed and voted to have the 2nd annual biker bash at Faunt Le Roy Park next year! We are already excited at what God is going to do next year! July 7 COL Russell and I headed down to the monthly TMRA2 meeting. We met COL Don from the Copperas Cove Area there also. We let our lights shine and we asked to close the meeting in prayer. God is good. July 9 We had a great showing for the fellowship ride to the Longhorn Caverns today! We left Gatesville at 0800 hours as planned and met another group waiting on us at the Exxon in Copperas Cove. We met some more of COL Luis' friends and we linked up with the Copperas Cove COL! We had enough folks that we broke up into two groups for safety reasons (MSF recommends in groups of five) one group of 7 and the other had 9 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator ten bikes. That is right; we had 17 bikes and one cage with a total of 27 souls along for the ride! Wow! Sure makes for a big circle when we pray. We all rode to the McDonalds in Burnet for a short break and some folks got a bite to eat as well as give us a chance to link back up together for a few minutes. Then we rode on to the Longhorn Caverns. The tour was one and a half hours and the tour guide was very informative. We stopped at the Burnet Feed Store BBQ in Burnet after the tour and everyone had some good BBQ. Tammy, Ethan and I had some tea and decided to stop on down the road for something that Tammy could handle and fries for our little man. From the Feed Store, everyone did their own thing, going into different groups and taking different routes back to their homes. We stopped in at Storms and ordered some food. COL Norm and his wife along with COL Don rode by. Then just a couple minutes went by and we got to wave at COL Rex and COL Ladonna with their children as they rode by. In a few more minutes COL Luis and two of his M109 buddies rode by. There was a long pause but finally we heard the rolling thunder and I put Ethan on the table to wave at the next group. It was the remainder of the Gatesville COL with Russell in the lead. We were just starting to eat when I got a call, "Where you at?" It was COL Russell. I told him and he said they were coming back! The entire Gatesville Area came rolling into the Storms parking lot as we were eating our meal! Ethan ran to COL Russell and lifted up his arms for a big hug! There was nothing to really say except a weak, "Ya'll didn't have to do this." We chatted (small talk) for a few while we finished the meal and then everyone mounted up and we headed home together. This sounds really stupid doesn't it? Six bikes and a cage with 11 souls TURNED AROUND and came back and WAITED on us to finish eating then we all mounted up and headed home. What can I say? There is no way to say or explain what you just read! Some of you are nodding your heads up and down because you understand it and others are just not getting it. Be blessed! July 10 The Gatesville Chariots went over to McGregor to the Victory Chapel and surprised Pastor Curtis and his church family this evening! I am not sure who enjoyed the evening the most but I got to tag team preach with Curtis and Jim! Needless to say I had fun, amen? July 12 We had five (5) Chariots, 1 prospect and1 child for a ride heading to the Moody French Quarter Bike Night. Before we left we did a bike blessing on Meleah and her scooter! She was now legal and ready to ride with us! Praise the Lord! We did get to let our light shine among another eight bikers that was at the French Quarter too! God is good! July 15 We had five (5) Chariots, one (1) prospect, one (1) guest and two children for a ride to Harker Heights for the BBQ benefit and we arrived at the Twisted Wrench Saloon about 7:30 ready to eat. We converged on the "registration" table and then lined up for some good pulled pork sandwiches! I got to meet the president of Queens of Sheba, Kharma, and give her a hug. They are the ones hosting the benefit for the young lady with a respiratory disease. I met a bunch of new bikers, mostly sport bike riders, and spent time visiting with some old friends too! The Queens of Sheba and the Sons of Solomon are two of the clubs 10 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator that I got to talk with and show the love of Christ. To the left is a picture of the young lady Deana who will be going to Colorado for respiratory treatment. The family insurance is going to cover the treatment but the mother didn't have the money for travel or lodging once in Denver. I have learned since this event took place that the Queens of Sheba raised $1,600! Now that is bikers coming together for a cause! Amen? That single mother can stay where she wants for quite some time on that! Amen! The highlight for all of us was getting to pray with the young lady with the respiratory issues. We asked her if she believed in healing and if we could pray for her and she just beamed! We laid hands on her in the parking lot among our scooters and then her and her mother joined us as we prayed for our own traveling mercies to get us home safely. July 16 The Lord brought in eight (8) Chariots, 1 guest and four (4) children for our ride today. We stopped in Moffat to pick up Marc George and his wife Kerie. They ride with the Warriors of the Way (Christian Motorcyclists Association) out of Killeen. I hope to ride with Marc and Kerie some more before he leaves for a tour overseas but since we don't know what is in God's plans it was heavy on my heart to lay hands on him right there and then! We gathered around Marc and prayed over him for his trip across the pond and back. We arrived in Temple and decided to go to the scheduled UCOW event. We arrived at the Long Branch Park in Killeen at about noon which was an hour too early for the Fun Day with the Divine Jewels. I got to meet the road captain to yet another motorcycle club that I hadn't been around before! It seems like Killeen, Copperas Cove and Harker Heights have a new club open up every month! Since the Divine Jewels were not set up yet we decided to head on over to Hooters for the C.H.A.O.S (Collective Harmony Assembled on the Streets) Car/Bike wash they were having. They were raising money to support the kids in the Communities and Schools in the local area. We took up donations from the club members and then went over and met their president, Mr. Bolegs. Crystal, our server in Hooters restaurant, was busy, busy, busy! After two hours on the highways and byways in triple digit weather she was having trouble keeping up with our drinks on the first round! I mean by the time she was getting the first round served, one person had already downed his drink! Then to add insult to injury we had a full drink dumped over onto the floor. Crystal was on it quickly and cleaned up the mess. Then she smiled as she asked if everyone was good on drinks. She took our orders and we really 11 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator confused her on that as we moved our seats since we had ordered and received our drinks. Instead of an attitude she just smiled again and compensated by asking what we were drinking as she took the orders. I couldn't help but notice some of the clubs that was watching us close! There were six clubs represented in Hooters and I could see members from each one of those clubs watching us. I had eye to eye contact with several and I could see the intense studying they were doing, trying to analyze us. We were Christians! Blood bought Saints of God in Hooters! I smiled and some of my own members I am sure wondered what was going on in my head. I could almost hear audible voices as if from a bionic ear from different areas; "They can't stay long!" I thought to myself, I wondered if Jesus was smiling while in Matthew's house because he knew what they were all thinking and saying too. Then another voice "Why would they come in here?" Don't you know Jesus heard that many times didn't he? Then another voice, "But they don't belong in here. It just doesn't make sense that they would come in here where we are." I smiled as I looked at one of my brother's patch on the left side of his vest and heard confirmation from God; in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. Amen! Our server was surprised and just a little bit uncomfortable when she was bringing some more food and we were all holding hands and about to pray, she gave a timid smile "I'll wait and be quiet." I smiled and said the prayer for our food and then everything went back to normal. Or did it? All those people that never thought we would ever come inside to begin with now watched us thank God for our food and carry on as if everything going on around us was an everyday occurrence for us. I can't help but smile as I type this just realizing how many lives were touched while we ate at Hooters! The food was awesome. I asked Crystal if we could get a picture with her. She said sure and I asked her when was the last time she had her picture posted on a church web site. The look on her face was priceless! She said, "Well, Never." I laughed and said, "Well you will be on one now." She gave her million dollar smile again and posed with us. COL Tammy (My wife) took the picture. Do you think the visit was worth it? You can bet one salvation that is was! We went outside and prayed for safe traveling mercies for everyone that was going in different directions from there. Today was just another day of sowing seed for God's Glory! We got one last picture of the guys together before we mounted up. 12 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator INTERNATIONAL John & Mary Ann Pool AUSTRALIA Bendigo Chapter Hope everyone is in good health and managing to keep warm! For July's ride we have decided to join with the Central Vic Riders on the 23rd of July for a ride to Rochester where we will have a great time of fellowship and of course…food! We will be meeting at the Exchange (used to be known as Wild Mint, near the Bendigo Bank, in town) at 10:30 for an 11:00 departure! Please come tanked up and ready to ride! Just a reminder, as we are guests of the Central Vic Riders to observe protocol, where the Presidents of each club take lead, and others fall in behind! That doesn't mean you can't pull out for a quick squirt, having first asked permission from Grumbles, CVR's President before ride, then fall back in line, but please to do safely being aware of all members and friends of each club! Also, we have been invited to CVR to ride with them to the Vic Market on the 24th September…so mark that date in ya diaries and girls.. get yaself a really large handbag to carry ya purchases home!! Lol! Details as we get them! Can't wait to catch up with yas all again and continue to build each other up in the Lord and encourage each other through the hardships that can come our way! Join with us in praying for fair weather and a dry road ahead! Bless ya and till we see yas next week, Stay upright and ride on for Jesus! Shaun Kenny AUSTRALIA Melbourne Chapter Trust everyone is wonderfully blessed because I am, ha! Oh well that's what you get when you're in God's favor. Anyway, healed is the word of the day. It's in the report. I feel wonderful; even got me a new leg as I had lost so much weight the old one keep falling off. Anyway strength is getting to be almost like superman, well not quite, can't leap buildings yet, but hey. We need prayer over here. We're losing riders and need some with a bit of good old fashion guts, or I guess you could say faith. Peter Broughton has sold his bike and has resigned from Chariots. Also David Essery who has attended a number of funerals in the last couple of months (bikers) has decided not to ride again and has also resigned. "There has been an exceptional number of motorcycle deaths in the Melbourne area of late" and David is "rather spooked" to use his words. I must say that there does seem to be a spirit of fear over the area, not on me I may add. Please pray for Peter Barrie. His wife is saved; he is not. They have both been riding with us of late and come around my home for coffee. Often I am sharing with Peter and believe he is very close. The word to me about the cancer from the medical people is: in remission. The word from God is: healed... cancer is gone! Remission says it's just at a standstill. Healed means it's not coming back...so all praise to a living God! 13 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator Margaret Kalucevisius Cairns Chapter Hope all is well with you. I have been up to the outer Islands of the Torres Straits off the shores of PNG. I stayed with an ex prisoner and his family who is so on fire for the Lord. People came over from the villages on the PNG coast who knew him when he rand drugs, etc. He is truly a transformed man. We had meetings each night and Sunday mornings. Many came and gave and recommitted their lives to the Lord. It blesses my heart to see a son in the Lord like this. It is what keeps me going. The bike expo committee has invited COL to help out at the expo this year on the 1st of October. I am praying for Darren and Paul to come up again for this. I am looking into customizing Joe's bike for me to ride. My Lord supplies all my needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus. Doug Klan - Edmonton CANADA Alberta Chapter What a great summer. I am leaving this afternoon heading to Kelowna then onto Vancouver Island to meet and talk with COL members. I am excited what COL is doing this summer and the opportunities we have to share about Jesus. I have our COL Hope for the Highway Bibles packed to give away for on the road. :) We will be getting back on August 6. Then on August 7 I have been invited to go to Thorsby to join the Lone Wolves Bike Club to do a memorial service and a bike blessing prayer for them. I consider it an honor and a privilege to be asked by this club which has over 1,200 members in Alberta alone. I thank Jesus for the opportunity to be able to share the good news to these people. I am inviting all of you COL members to join me in Throsby on August 7. We are meeting at Word of Faith in Edmonton @ 8 Am and then riding out to a pancake breakfast and then joining them to ride to Drayton Valley around noon after the memorial service. This summer I felt like we sent 2 spies to go out and scout the land of opportunity. So out went Greg and Steve to Merritt BC. I have included a Post he made for the COL members. Stephen Sloane just posted a comment for Great Canadian Bike Rally. So I am including it in this email. "The GCBR was great. I believe Merritt is a great location for a motorcycle rally because of all the best scenic back roads located around it. I had only time to show Greg the Ashcroft- Spences Bridge loop, one of my favorites! Moreover, there seemed to be an openness to the Gospel there and enjoyed a grace "the favor of man." Had the opportunity to share our faith and promote our club to a number of people including being interviewed on Biker TV. By my perspective, our best ride & outreach so far!" So what have we got planned for next summer. I am telling you way in advance so you can plan and join us for next year. July 12-15, 2012 I am encouraging all the COL riders in Alberta and in BC to start saving your dollars for an awesome outreach at Great Bike Rally in Merritt BC. Greg & Steve told me this was their first year and there were about 1,000 bikes. They never saw any Christian Bikers there, so let's go out and shed some light in Merritt BC. You will be on your own in booking hotels or for camping. Details will come as we put this ride together this coming winter. Then I just got an official notice that Dr. Jerry Savelle and COL will be doing an Alberta Tour next summer. It will be July 25 to Aug 1, 2012. So all of COL Canada members and whomever else that rides a motorcycle or drives a car please join us on this tour. It will be one of the greatest experiences you will ever encounter. I will give you the details later. 14 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator Dale Hoch – Kitchener / Waterloo CANADA Ontario Chapter ALL BIKERS ARE WELCOME JULY 31 FOR A MAP ONLINE: There will be a biker service with a guest speaker Following the service there will be a $5.00 lunch served then a pre-determined route for a Christian ride in the region. This will climax with a light supper on the route. DON'T MISS THIS DYNAMIC TIME WITH OTHER BIKERS CANADA Ontario Chapter ONTARIO CANADA Tour Testimonies Scott & Sally Garvock (Ottawa): Although this is Scott's second tour, this is my first. It is so exciting to see people of like faith united in one common goal – to love on people and reach the lost for the kingdom. The love and camaraderie amongst everyone is overwhelming. We love this ministry and what it stands for. 15 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator Adrian Weening (Bradford): This tour was dynamic and needful to bring together the Ontario Chariots from across our large geographic area. Old friendships were built on and new ones made. All the members were encouraged and built up in why they joined Chariots and the vision strongly placed before them again. The highlight for me as Chapter President was to see the members challenged to increase the influence we have as Chariots to reach a lost world. God consistently demonstrated this influence as the members led several to a relationship with Jesus, as well as ministering healing to the sick and wounded. All the members participated or closely witnessed the simplicity of this outreach and its fruitfulness. We also held a much needed membership meeting allowing you both to speak into our lives. Thanks ! Irene Weening (Bradford): "Yeah. Got to ride!" Henk Storteboom: (Everett): Having been on so many tours, I find it difficult to say what I liked about this one in particular. I enjoyed new friendships / good to see excitement returning to Chariots in Canada. Glad to be a part of what is going on here. Re-kindled the desire to see our chapter grow and move on in the vision of Chariots. Always glad to spend time with you guys! Cora Storteboom (Everett): … the love, the fellowship and just an encouragement to go out and witness. Just get out there and do it! Go! Jim Bruce (Belleville): This ride has been great. Church outside the box. The witnessing of each person (It's almost the senior's tour) Why do I say this? So many times it's the young getting saved, but this tour it was the seniors looking for love and getting saved. However, this week is what I believe the church should be doing every day. Living what we say we believe. We call it .. Church outside the box. I'm telling you THIS IS THE CHURCH! What we have in our buildings I'm not sure. Martina Bruce: This evening in Huntsville has brought cohesiveness to the Ontario Chariots. The sharing of ideas on various methods of communication, the vision of Chariots, along with what Chariots are doing internationally have all been invaluable. This session has indeed re-kindled a greater desire and purpose (in me) to being a part of Chariots of Light. Mike Welch (Ottawa): ~great tour ~great to have Bill & Ginger with us to hear the vision of Chariots and get to know them. ~Great weather & good route ~Great combination of roads ~Loved to see the one-on-one evangelism and souls being won ~when Bill mentioned about witnessing, we could see his passion and it stirred mine ~It will be great to have a set date for an Ontario ride in advance ~the increased communication will be great ~go on a mission trip with Chariots across Ontario. Shane Patriquin (Ottawa): What I Like, Love, and Learned is that no matter where we went people looked at what was going on then they saw the love that we have for them and then they learned that Jesus loves them even more and wants them to know it. The whole ride was a new experience for me to see God at work through me in what was need to be done and then also, seeing Bill open the door to witnessing. 16 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator John Dallard (North Bay): It's always a blessing to fellowship, meet, and minister with fellow Chariot of Light members. This tour, I experienced miracles of salvation and healing. My personal healing was one of those healings on the tour! Praise God ! Jeff Edwards (Sudbury): Was great to see friends, build relationships, and remember the joy of just simply seeing people excited about sharing Jesus. The impact in our city is immediate in salvations, fire in peoples' lives and a joy to let everyone there see a vision that is bigger than one. Love you guys. Thanks for coming to Canada and helping to refire COL here. J.C. Denis (Sudbury): This tour has re-kindled the fire and love for souls in me. Thank you for being faithful to the call on your lives. Glenn Fyvie (Orillia): Pastor Glenn's Chariots Northern Ontario Tour was fun. I had fun. It was a fun time. I got to ride – VERY FAST – for long periods of time. This was a great release for me being a pastor. Seriously now, it was a week of faith in action, fellowship with new and old friends (including some good belly laughs) and of course fun and food. It was a week to worship God in a very unique way with some very unique people, saved & unsaved, instant in season and out of season and a great ride. Terry Fyvie (Orillia): It was exciting to see and be a part of people being brought into the kingdom. What a blessing. I enjoyed the fellowship and just laughing and having a good time together. Martin Weening: This tour has been an awesome opportunity for me to share the Chariots ministry with my 12- year old son, Jordan. Jordan has enjoyed the riding, the camaraderie and the whole tour experience. He even said the church service in Sudbury was more exciting than our home church (I guess he liked Bill's preaching). This has also provided me an opportunity to bond with Jordan as a Father and Son "guys" thing. I am confident he will want to join me on future rides and Chariots events. Jordan Weening : I have really enjoyed this trip but what I have loved is the scenery. I love riding through the huge rocks on either side of the highway. Watching the trains and trees. I also liked stopping every hour or so we can stretch and walk around and stopping at the Harley stores. I really enjoyed it and hope to do it again. Chris Rouffer (Ottawa): I rode from Ottawa to join the ride in Huntsville. I got detoured 200 km after witnessing a car vs. 3-motorcycle accident on the way to the meeting on Friday night. Walking into a room full of Chariots was like a cool drink of water. The welcome I got was amazing and the pure love tangible! 17 2011 – JULY – Chariots Communicator CHARIOTS Communicator The Heritage *The Chariots of Light is an evangelistic outreach of Jerry Savelle Ministries International located in Crowley, Texas. www.jerrysavelle.org AN OUTREACH OF JERRY SAVELLE MINISTRIES The Vision *To provide a means of fellowship among COL members of "like precious faith".

Mallett hails momentous win
ESPNscrum Staff
March 12, 2011

Italy coach Nick Mallett hailed his team's 22-21 home triumph over France as one of his proudest moments in his coaching career.
The result in Rome was the Azzurri's first ever win against Les Bleus in the Six Nations. "It's one of the proudest moments as coach, for sure," Mallett said."I am very proud of my players' performance. I asked my players to keep close to France in the first half and we did just that.
"The first 20 minutes of the second half was perhaps our worst 20 minutes but my players reacted after being down 18-6. With 15 minutes to go, I could see that it was a struggle for France and I told my players to continue to attack them and my players did just that."
The victory was all the more special as it was their first in this year's tournament. The Azzurri had lost 24-16 at home to Wales last time out having previously been trounced 59-13 by England at Twickenham. Mallett's men were beaten 13-11 by Ireland in their Six Nations opener.
"I think we have played our best three games at home in the history of our Six Nations," Mallett said."We were unlucky against Ireland and Wales but we were rewarded in this game."
Mallett believes that France will bounce back from this setback. "I think France have talent, they have quality players," he said. "I think it is a team that can easily qualify for the semi-finals of the World Cup. But rugby is bizarre and if you don't have the mental motivation..."
Mallett does not believe this historic triumph is a turning point for his team, who travel to Murrayfield to face Scotland in their final Test.
"We have to be humble," he said. "The tournament is not over and we have a game at Scotland on Saturday. We have another opportunity to play a great game next weekend."
France coach Marc Lievremont, meanwhile, made no excuses for his team's poor showing in Rome. "We are disappointed," Lievremont said. "Italy merited the win. I am saddened and frustrated. Italy looked the better side for the 80 minutes.
"I knew that we could lose one day to Italy but I didn't think it was going to happen so soon. We needed to battle on the pitch and we didn't do that. I thought my players were focused on this game but they weren't. I would have preferred an ugly win to a sad loss. We now have to continue to work."

Bierbeisl: Austrian Dining in Beverly Hills
Wednesday, January 9, 2013 | 2 years ago
Since its opening last February, much has been made of BierBeisl, Bernhard Mairinger's restaurant in the heart of Beverly Hills. The chef's surprising numerical statistics have been examined (he's a giant 6 feet 7 inches, heightwise, and a baby, 28, agewise). He's been the subject of many "best" and "best new" and "hottest" lists. And, as chef/owner of "L.A.'s only authentic Austrian restaurant," Mairinger has seen much (justified) oohing and ahhing over his schnitzel, his goulash, bratwurst, weisswurst and selection of schnapps. Read the story.

Suzan Nolan | December 9, 1998 | Comments
So many currencies, so many rules of commerce...what's an etailer who's looking to sell internationally to do? Well, it better do something. Suzan Nolan offers advice on a few workable approaches.
It's a toss-up whether foreign languages or foreign currencies pose the biggest problems in international e-commerce.
Just as there are many languages in the world, there are many currencies, along with many systems of sales tax and other accounting bits that have to be taken into consideration by any online sales effort. True -- you can post prices on your site only in dollars to circumvent many issues (or pounds or marks or whatever .) But our research shows that many customers flat out refuse to buy when they are not sure of the exact amount of the purchase.
In other words, if you give buying information only in dollars when your would-be buyers are accustomed to thinking in drachmas, it's a sure bet that you're losing sales.
There are a number of solutions, some of which are quite simple. The simplest solution may be to add an interactive currency calculator to your site. It's sort of the least you can do but it's better than nothing.
It's better because even though it won't calculate local sales tax, it will at least give the foreign shopper an idea of how much your product might cost and offer a clue whether it's worth pursuing or not. In many cases, products are so much cheaper in certain countries, like the US, that even with taxes, shipping and duty, the foreign customer may decide to buy regardless.
Better solutions include payment systems that not only perform the currency calculations, but also calculate the VAT (value-added-tax or sales tax) by country and product category. Doing so gives the shopper a true idea of the value of the purchase. The best systems automatically update the currency conversion and tax rates (so the e-commerce site owner doesn't have to) and can be used with any payment systems on the market.
An example of a multi-currency payment systems is WorldPay, launched in the U.S. WorldPay lets you offer your products or services in more than 100 currencies and allows you to receive payment in any one of 16 prime currencies. (Course, the number will be down to six when the Euro takes over.)
With such services, your prospects and customers can buy in a currency that's familiar to them, where they can see the real value of your product or service relative to what they can find in local stores.
In addition, having the exchange rate updated on a daily basis means the customer will know what s/he will be paying. The alternative may be a rather nasty surprise on the credit card statement, following which s/he might write you a nasty letter (in a language you don't understand) to dispute the bill. The dispute involves a stop payment order which you do understand in any language!
With systems that give prices in current rates, the French customer will see what his French Visa card will be charged in Francs. And as an American merchant, you will receive the same in dollars to your account, just as, if you were a British merchant, you'd receive the equivalent amount in sterling.
Sounds simple, which it is -- I think of it like simultaneous translation -- but it's surprising that such a simple solution is not used on more web sites. A second, simple solution to facilitate sales to foreign customers comes from a company like Taxware. Taxware offers a solution that computes the appropriate sales tax for a purchase based on geography and the type of item; it even makes up management reports for the tax authorities.
These two solutions combined show the local currency sales amount and local taxes, which makes it easier for the international customer to make a purchase decision while on your site. Why? Because he or she is now enabled to see in familiar terms, the value that you offer.
After all, the web is about convenience. The most clever international internet marketers know that the key to all success is anticipating the customer's needs and making it easier for him to spend his hard-earned sterling, francs, dollars or drachma on their e-commerce sites.

Little Red Bugs!
mothra(z7, maybe 6)August 10, 2007
I went out in the garden this morning to find these red and black bugs on one of my tomato plants--about twenty of them! Yikes! Are they good bugs or bad?
Image link:
rhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
They are nymphs of either a leaf footed bug OR one of the assassin bugs. The nymphal stages of these insects look very similar, though by the time they are finished shedding skins and growing up they will look entirely different. The leaf footed bug is a pest while the assassin bugs are predatory on other insects. Observing them for awhile might shed some light on their true identification.

Back on the coast, our final stop before the small seaside village of Cayucos was Morro Bay. The Lonely Planet Guide said to look out for the amazing rock formations in this little town but all we could see was the massive chimneys of a dormant gas fired power plant.

... In the past I yelled hell yea or some other foul term, but not this time. All I could say was thank you Jesus thank you Jesus over and over. My first thought then was how to get a few pics and get her back in. her head was a bit sandy. I tried to wash it off and let her get some water. I got my phone out and set it up on a rock and got the first pic and then grabbed the scales out of the bag. I zeroed them and hung her. The scales immediately went over 10 then ...

... I couldn't resist going into the restaurant to look. A waitress asked if i would like a table for two but sadly I had to say no. She was happy for me just to take a look and a couple of photos. With a heavy heart , we left to meet the others. It was mid afternoon, and we still had 150 miles to travel. we all wanted to stay a little longer but the next leg of our journey was on the Highway 1- a coastal route that runs from here, all the way to San Diego. And what a journey, ...
It was a great day. The sun shone for most of the day. it wasn't until the walk home from the restaurant that I was chilly. Tonight there are lots of stars out, so imagine that it will be clear tomorrow. Dinner was different. Aside from waiting 80 minutes to get a table, the evening was perfect. We sat outside watching the flocks of pelicans drift inthe wind, and laughed at the seagulls trying to steal food from other guests. Several whales ...
So Many Sand Dollars
... about 20 minutes further north, so on our way we went. We followed the signs for the state park, and when we pulled in the ranger was just leaving the station. We also noticed that the price was $35 a night to camp, whoa, and it wasn't even on the actual beach! We saw the lady putting stuff in her car and pulled around to ask her if there were other places to camp on the beach. She said not on the beach, but close to the beach. We decided to continue a little further ...

Handcuffs Were HotI've used them a couple of times, the latest time I put her hands behind her back and cuffed her. There wasn't much she could do from there, I made her kneel before me and from there she gave me one of the best blow jobs I had ever received! Not being able to use her hands, her...

It Is A Turn On For MeReally, I enjoy seeing women in any kind of restraints. Handcuffs are awesome because there's really not much they can do about it. And I can take advantage. Now, this is all based on a mutual contest and an agreed upon role play. My favorite would be a hogtie with handcuffs...

I am facing some problems while uploading a file.
Problem is that, when I upload a file, the uploaded file will always have 15 character extra.
Can someone in list go through the attached files and help me in debugging, why this is happening?
And always the extracharacters added were "--xYzZY--" (without quotes).
Attached tar file contains 3 ethereal dumps (using webtest, ie, mozilla)
1 text file (17 bytes, that I was trying to upload)
1 .pl file (this is the script i am using to upload file)
What I could find out using ethereal dumps is: In content-type ; "boundary-value" field is missing only in the dump that was taken
while webtest is running.
2) ALSO, Is there way to download file from web using HTTP::WEBTEST?
Thanking in advance,

From I see in your logs the problem is not that HTTP::WebTest adds
additional chars (they are ok) but that HTTP::WebTest generates
incorrect Content-Type header. I'll investigate what's wrong with it.
RH> 2) ALSO, Is there way to download file from web using HTTP::WEBTEST?
Well, technically it is possible. You can add on_response hook with
some Perl code to store HTTP response on disk. On the other hand I
think you just using wrong tool and you'd better just use
*Untested example*
plugins = ( ::Hooks )
test_name = download file
url = ...
on_response = {
my $webtest = shift;
open FILE, '> /path/to/file';
print FILE $webtest->current_response->content;
close FILE;

this product is great quality and value, sturdy and still function great, no need to spend a lot on a dish rack, i'm buying another one next month ,
Simon M. from mediterranean Harbour Posted on 03/05/2015
Great Product! I needed something to manage our glassware but didn't want to spend a ton. Beats the more expensive option with great quality and value!
Louis C. Posted on 02/21/2015
When you have as many racks as we do these dollys are a requirement. I just wish that it was built a touch more durable, it feels a bit cheap... but does the job we needed it to do.
Sean A. from AWG Private Chefs Posted on 12/29/2014
Great product at a great price. We use these for transporting our glasses to and from events. The height is perfect for strapping down glass racks without rolling around in the back of a truck.
Laurie S. Posted on 11/16/2014
We purchased a couple of these along with the 25 compartment glass racks and they have made things so much more efficient for our staff. This dolly removes the need for unnecessary lifting and it does roll smoothly. We are very happy with this purchase.
Sandy M. from Burkeshire Plantation Posted on 11/11/2014
Wonderful product, super heavy duty, those wheels hold some major weight! We needed something that could hold considerable weight and this is perfect for our needs. Shipping was quick too. I'll be sure to return for more needed items.
Rachel V. from Bonny Bubbles LLC Posted on 08/28/2014
So happy with this product. We have added to our glass inventory and really needed something to store them on. This is a sturdy dolly and easy to clean.
Debbie L. from Rick's Diner & Catering Posted on 06/18/2014
With our small cafe, we really didn't want a rack dolly with a giant handle sticking out, but even those without were so unbelievably expensive. Until I found the Noble brand one. Not only is it made just as well as any other dolly that I've used, but the casters on it are also 4", rather than the 2" and 3" that I've seen in the past. So, overall, this thing is superb, especially at this price.
Barry H. from A Tasty Affair Posted on 03/25/2014
Great dolly, really great for small kitchens. We stack our glass rack on top and store all the glasses on top of each other. Can be easily moved around, I wish I bought the one with the handle so we can use to push our garbage or use it wheel things around.
Rosa H. from FUSION BITES Posted on 01/10/2014
This dolly is very sturdy and wheels stay straight for easy steering. And you won't find a better price anywhere - trust me, I've looked
Misha A. Posted on 12/23/2013
The Noble Dish/Glass rack dolly works perfectly! Great design and heavy duty, stands up to the abuse and at a great price when compared to other models.
Thomas B. Posted on 10/03/2013
This dolly helps move the glass racks around. It is solidly built and moves quite easily on all types of surfaces. A great deal for sure.

With the most failing schools, Tulsa leaders suspect methods
Every student in Tulsa Public Schools now wears a uniform. The district has replaced ineffective teachers and principals.
But among the newest reforms is an effort to develop an academic achievement zone centered on a number of underperforming schools.
The achievement zone doesn't focus on schools labeled as failing by the letter grades, but rather on the scores the schools earn for compliance with the federal No Child Left Behind Act. The schools have been labeled as priority schools, needing greater intervention.
"We wanted to have a response to intervention model," said Verna Ruffin, assistant superintendent for the academic achievement zone. "We respond to the entire child, whether it's a social, emotional or academic need."
The zone is just in its beginning stages, but a team of employees with Tulsa Public Schools has already begun working with the schools in the McLain High School feeder pattern.
The feeder pattern's junior high school received an F, and McLain High School for Science and Technology received a C.
The high school received an F based on student performance on standardized tests, but received an A for overall student growth and a B for whole school performance indicators, such as graduation rate and advanced coursework available to students.
Other schools that received Fs were Tulsa MET/Lombard High School, and TRACE Academy and Tulsa MET middle schools. Additionally, Greeley and Mark Twain elementary schools and Hale Junior High School received Fs.

Many of you reading this will feel compelled to tell me what a POS this gun is... you need not worry, I've already read all the reviews. But, I would love to hear about any way you have figured out how to modify it. I want to put a new stock on it (preferably one with a pistol grip) and possibly even some sort of picatinny rails toward the forend for a spring loaded bi-pod. any suggestions would help!
as always, Thanks.

He made thumhole stocks
Boyds might be able to help you with a stock. You would have to fill out a request form. There are adapters available that attach to your swivel stud and there are bipods that attach to the swivel stud. You could also attach a scope base to the bottom of the stock if you want a rail.

I was taught to respect my elders but they are getting harder to find.
Not trying to discourage you. Just looking out for your best interest. Save your money and buy a rifle you like. You are not going to recover your money for the stock if you want to sell the 770. I would keep the original stock in case you want to sell the 770. I have shot several 770's myself I don't know why everyone knocks them. With a 4x scope I can drill golf balls 200 yards away with a 770. I don't think the haters are shooting that well without a rest.
Watch the sales at brownells, midway usa and ebay. You will find a nice stock for the money you want to spend. You will like a thumb hole stock that fits your hand much more than a stock with a pistol grip. Laminate stocks are heavier than the composite stocks but laminate stocks shoot much better. You can find a laminate thumb hole stock for around $120 without a lot of effort.
Thanks for all of the suggestions! I keep reading that, because the barrel and action are press-fitted it will be hard to replace the stock. Does anyone have opinions or experience that suggests otherwise? Also, I love the gun, I think it's great. I only made my first comment because I know that my thread title reading "Remington 770 *HELP*" would attract some people who do not like the gun. As far as me wanting to change some stuff around on it... Well, I just want to do that because I'm bored with the way it looks. I can't really decide if I want to turn it into a wooden stocked gun that looks like your grandpa's rifle, or sport it up a bit and through some more tactical looking stuff on it. Either way, I just need(ed) some help figuring out where to start. CTD didn't have hardly anything and they are my main go to...
Thanks again

A team of construction professionals lifts Blog Cabin 2011 seven feet above the flood plain in preparation for construction of a new foundation.
By Lori DolnickMore in Blog Cabin
Step one in the lifting process is to excavate soil around and slide steel beams underneath the home. The 54-pound, 10-inch beams support and level the home plus provide a base under which Matyiko and his team build jack pads. According to Matyiko, experience and a bit of science are required to determine the critical points at which jack pads are positioned to keep the structure stable during the lifting process.
