Colourful Africa Grab a cheap flight to Ghana from the UK and enjoy a West African country beaming with sunshine and smiles. Bursting with vivid colours and the bustle of daily life, Ghana is a destination where everyone you meet will instantly become a new friend. The modern and traditional combine in Ghana as locals saunter along the busy streets chatting on their mobile phones to a backdrop of handmade, bright beautiful and bold patterned fabrics. Enjoy the aroma of plantain and cassava cooking in the city's or get away from it all to Ghana's gorgeous coast. A favourite reason for deciding on a trip to Ghana are the miles and miles of spectacular white sandy beaches like Busua and Dixcove which offer the perfect place to while away sunny days with sand, sea and silence. If it's history you're after, the old crumbling forts built by the Europeans, like Cape Coast Castle, remain to offer a glimpse and a moving insight into Ghana's tragic past as a once major slave outpost during colonial times. As you traverse Ghana's diverse landscapes make a stop at Nzulez village. There you will see all the village's buildings all constructed on stilts. A trip to the lively coastal capital of Accra is a must for city lovers and promises everything from incredible live music and mouth-watering street food to hip shops, non-stop nightlife and gourmet dining with international cuisine. You can search hotels in the Accra region by visiting our site here. If you long for the calm beauty and solace of rural Africa then be sure to visit areas like Kumasi, where the ancient Ashanti kingdom resides and where you can watch famous crafts being created and woven. These also make ideal gifts for family back home. Beautiful fishing villages dot the coastlines and are wonderful places to experience real communities and real lives of Ghana's people. For a taste of Africa's great outdoors simply head for the majestic mountains of the Togo Range where you can enjoy challenging forest hikes or travel further north for spectacular wildlife watching. Kakum National Park boasts some stunning rainforest canopy walks high above the treetops. From there you're sure to spot exotic birds and cheeky swinging monkey's, not to mention views of wild antelope and elephants wandering around below. Mole National Park is the place to see the typically African sweeping savannah teeming with buffalo, elephants and lions and where you can even camp under the vast starry skies while dozing off to the sound of distant roars!

Released: Dec 01st, 1991
Running Time: 75
Director: William Black
Company: Coast To Coast Video
Tony Montana, Cal Jammer, Tom Chapman, Kelly Blue, Wayne Summers, Bionca (I), Steven Strong, Ashley Nicole, Candace Heart, Jordan Smith
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Bionca does a D.P. Candace Heart does a D.P. Ashley Nicole does a D.P.
Kelly Blue doesn't. You can't sneak out of this one, Kelly, it's too obvious, even though the plot device has you going to sphincter specialist Wayne Summers about a "problem." Maybe the problem is we have sphincter specialists still practicing in anal videos when most of them seem to be in Washington making laws.
D.P.'s or the lack of aside, Blue is back in adult video looking better than ever, unfortunately the camera angels do her little justice in her one sex scene when she goes to be treated at Summers' sphincter clinic.
Meanwhile, extraterrestrial Ashley Nicole is beamed down to earth to bring back specialist Summers to teach the inhabitants of the Planet of the Cummers the D.P. She should also get him to do something about the sound, but the sandwich scenes are voracious enough to make you forget all about that. If you do well with anal, stock this one.

UC presents "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" production |
Williamsburg, Ky. - University of the Cumberlands' (UC) theatre produced their spring musical, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," based on the unfinished mystery by Charles Dickens. The show is to have seven performances total over two weeks. The show opened on Feb. 20 and will conclude March 1, including two convocation credit nights for students on the Thursday performances. The most unique part of the play is that the audience chooses the ending. Since Dickens died before he wrote his ending, it left a possible 24 ways the play could end. The cast had to learn all 24 endings in order to be prepared for what each night's audience chose. "It was intimidating at first, but the cast was excited and wanted to rise to the challenge," Dr. Kim Miller, theatre director, said about the cast learning the musical. The cast and directors pulled this production together in a matter of several weeks and dedicated countless hours to it. Everyone in the cast had their lines, musical numbers, choreography, and every possible ending to learn in a matter of weeks. "I don't think we completely learned it until a just a short while ago," Jillian Carpenter, principle cast member, said. The play is extremely interactive with the audience. Members of the ensemble often come out into the audience to incorporate them and include them in their production. The cast also votes for the ending and explains how voting will work. "I appreciate everyone's hard work and I hope that the audience comes and gets into the show," Dr. Miller said. Located in Williamsburg, Ky., University of the Cumberlands is an institution of regional distinction, which currently offers four undergraduate degrees more than 40 major fields of study; ten pre-professional programs; ten graduate degrees distributed over eight areas, including two doctorates and seven master's degrees; certifications in education; and online programs.

Authentic But Poor Quality

Poor Quality

Describe Yourself:
Was this a gift?:
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Although authentic in style, the quality of the curls was less than what I would have expected. The styling is what sold me on this purchase and the front curls were sagging and very loose. I will now have to style it myself and hope it does not ruin the wig.

Terrible wig
Irregular Fit, Poor Design
Was this a gift?:
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Have to return it. I don't look like a stylish woman from the 1940s so much as an insane person. The curled bangs jut out from my forehead and the hair poofs out in a weird way. The quality of the hair is fine, but it doesn't hold the style advertised on the box at all.

Active control of gear vibration using specially configured sensors and actuators
Chen, M.H. and Brennan, M.J. (2000) Active control of gear vibration using specially configured sensors and actuators. Smart Materials and Structures, 9, (3), 342-350. (doi:10.1088/0964-1726/9/3/315).
Full text not available from this repository.
This paper describes an active control system for reducing the vibration of a pair of meshing gears caused by the variation of meshing stiffness. A gear meshing model is developed and used to determine the magnitude of the secondary force required to cancel gear vibration and this is shown to be related to the modulation index of meshing stiffness. Possible configurations of actuators and sensors to implement the control scheme are proposed and some experimental results are presented.

In the next few years, three NFL teams will get state-of-the-art new stadiums, and the early designs suggest we're on the brink of another quantum leap in the football-cathedral genre. This isn't about extra-jumbo Jumbotrons like the Dallas Cowboys' suddenly passé new home. No, the new new hotness is stunt architecture, natural light, and, in at least one case, a rooftop garden.

After the management filed a complaint with Ashok Nagar Police Station, Jaipur, against the unknown person behind the mischief, the police filed a case under relevant sections of the IT Act and approached cyber experts for identifying the culprit.
An official with the cyber crime cell of the police said on the condition of anonymity that three students were recently duped of Rs. 62,000 by a swindler who had placed an ad on the Olx.in, offering three Apple iPones for sale. The case is being investigated by Jawhar Nagar Police Station.
A similar case has been lodged at a police station in Kota. The complainant had deposited Rs. 25,000 for a 64 GB iPhone5 offered by an unknown "seller" on the website. After a few days, the complainant ordered four more phones and deposited an additional R1 lakh in the seller's account. But he didn't get a single phone, the complaint said.
In April this year, Chhattisgarh politican Rajesh Mukherjee received scores of calls from people willing to buy his car and a new bike. A prankster who had posted the pictures of the car and the bike on a popular classifieds website Quickr.com had put a tempting price tag on the products.

March 29, 2011
WrestleMania time again so it's time for my annual WrestleMania prediction commentary. I hope to redeem myself somewhat after a horrendous performance last year. Last year was my worst year yet (I've been doing these since Mania 22) picking only 2 winners out of 10 matches. My per year prediction rate thus far is: Mania 22: 63% Mania 23: 63% Mania 24: 44% Mania 25: 50% Mania 26: 20% So over the past 5 years I've averaged just slightly below the prediction percentage of a coin flip, with a 48% accuracy. This is pretty sad, but looking at the lineup this year, I think my chances of getting back above 500 are pretty good. No MITB really helps because picking a winner in a 10 man match like that is near impossible. Undertaker vs. HHH: No way I'm betting against the streak; I tried that last year on the way off chance I'd look brilliant if Shawn won. I had a horrible record last year so no more long shots for me. Taker goes 19-0. The promo segment on Monday was freakin Awesome, kudos to Michaels in particular who really put this over the top for me. Taker and HHH were a ten but HBK was an 11 Monday night. The Miz vs. John Cena: I was so sure of this match until Monday. I had Cena all the way, but with Rock now doing the post Mania RAW show and rumors abound that he may do a Cena match at some point I'm not too sure. If they are doing a Rock- Cena match any time soon you don't want the title in the middle of it so I'd keep it on Miz. If you aren't doing the Rock match I'd put it on Cena so you get happy wins on house shows all summer. I'm going to gamble and say Cena wins. Randy Orton vs. CM Punk: Randy was on a roll killing all of Nexus, so I was picking Punk in this one, hands down. They had done such a great a job not having these two in the ring together so I was positive Punk was getting the win, then Monday they had Punk hit his finisher and leave Orton laying and now I'm not so sure. I'm still going to go with Punk figuring that since they haven't had a match leading into Mania that this program moves forward and Punk steals a win here somehow to lead to rematches. Assuming there even is a finish. Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan: I don't see the point in putting the title right back on Bryan so Sheamus retains and they can do rematches on the road. Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole: If they do anything but Lawler killing Cole at the end I'll be so pissed. This angle has been awesome and it needs to climax here and have Lawler pile drive Michael Cole. With Austin as the ref Lawler has to get the win IMO. Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes: This is a tough one for me to pick because I haven't been watching that much SD so I don't have the best feel for this match, I'm just going to have to take a shot in the dark and say Rhodes picks up the victory. Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio: I'm picking Del Rio here. I think they have big plans for this guy and I think he's a good choice to do big things with moving forward. I would imagine they will do something involving Christian leading to Alberto getting the win and peeling Edge away from the title picture for a bit to work with Christian. Morrison, Trish, Snooki vs. Ziggler, LayCool: Big baby face win here. I don't see Snooki agreeing to do a job and with Trish being a part of Tough Enough, which debuts the next night, it would be dumb to beat her here. Baby faces win. The Corre vs. Kane, Show, Santino, Koslov: I'm going with the Corre in this one. For me those are the guys with legs building to the future I'd put them over and a lose for Santino or Koslov would be no big deal. This way we avoid anymore Trombone playing by Kane, my God I hated that on Monday. Enjoy the show, Lance Storm

Her Space Holiday has been around for about a decade, but delivers the masterpiece of his career with Xoxo Panda and the New Kid Revival. This album packs a truly organic sound favored by listeners of the alternative persuasion, but can be enjoyed by anyone who favors foot-tapping kept in perfect time. The album's five-star qualities are manifested in its deep, uplifting lyrical content accompanied by tambourine and handclaps that make you want to dance wildly around the room throughout all 14 tracks. The album embodies a sound similar to The American Analog Set and Bright Eyes, but has a deep storyline all its own, with lyrics about everything from playing music to doing drugs. "If time is measured in memories, don't set your clock to misery," belts Bianchi on track four, "The Year In Review." Another likeable aspect of this album is each track is different from its predecessor and employs a new selection of instruments, taking the album in an unexpected direction. Also, the accompanying album art is creatively obscure, done by Bianchi himself. Formerly relying on synthesizer and computer-generated blips and beeps, HSH adopts a banjo and keyboard and turns in an indie-folk direction on the new album. Xoxo Panda and the New Kid Revival is absolutely worth purchasing, either digitally or otherwise, because it is such a diversion from Her Space Holiday's older works, and is a powerful new addition to the HSH collection. - JackCentral |

index.php downloading instead of opening in browser
Category: General Server Setup
My website http://www.chicagodeath.com/ is working fine, apart from the fact that when ever I try to open http://www.chicagodeath.com/rss/ instead of the browser opening the feed, it tries to download it.
I tried fixing it by altering .htaccess, but that didn't seem to work.
Has something changed on the server side that would account for this problem?
I tried fixing it by altering .htaccess, but that didn't seem to work.
Has something changed on the server side that would account for this problem?
Hi Chris, Whenever I try to open a php file the browser tries to download it instead of loading it normally. I've seen this issue a few times in the past. Most of the time, the problem is due to conflicting code in your .htaccess file. I tested the URL you provided, but I was not able to replicate the issue. I assume that you were able to resolve the issue? One of the things to keep in mind is that .htaccess files are recursive. What this means, is that if your rss folder is located here: /public_html/rss ... all of the following .htaccess files could be affected files in the rss folder: /public_html/rss/.htaccess /public_html/.htaccess /.htaccess I'll assume you were able to resolve this issue, as I tested in several browsers and was not able to replicate the problem. If by chance you are still having an issue, feel free to post a comment at the bottom of this page with more information, and I'll be happy to look into this further. Thanks! - Brad |

A crosscorrelation predistorter using memory polynomials
Kokkeler, Andre B.J. (2004) A crosscorrelation predistorter using memory polynomials. In: International Symposium on Circuits and Systems, ISCAS 2004, May 23-26, 2004, Vancouver, Canada (pp. pp. 345-348).
294kB |
Abstract: | Amplification of signals with fluctuating envelopes inevitably leads to distortion because of nonlinear behavior of the power amplifier (PA). Digital predistortion can counteract these nonlinear effects. In this paper, a digital predistortion architecture is presented which is based on the calculation of correlation functions using coarsely quantized signals. The crosscorrelation functions are transformed to the frequency domain and the spectra are used to calculate the coefficients of the predistorter memory polynomial. This method has reduced complexity and slightly improved average performance in comparison with existing schemes. |

SD Cards Are Tiny, Hackable Computers (For Good or Evil)
An SD card isn't just a dumb chunk of memory; it's a dumb chunk of memory with a built-in brain, a microcontroller. And at this year's Chaos Computer Congress, enterprising hackers showed off exactly what those brains can be used for: cheap hardware for makers or malware machines for malcontents.
These Are the World's Fastest SD Cards (For Now, at Least)
If you worry that your SD cards just can't keep up with the pace, fret no longer. Toshiba has the world's fastest SD cards, in the shape of the new Exceria Pro SDHC series, to deal with your ridiculous data acquisition needs.
The Best Photo Gear Deals Money Can Buy
Popular Photo has gone and drummed up 28 of the best deals for photography-related gear. Cameras, lenses, flashes, bags, storage mediums, etc. If you're looking to up your photo game, here's the place to start.
Eye-Fi Mobile X2 SD Card: Screw a Computer, Send Those Photos Straight…
The Eye-Fi Mobile X2 does everything the previous Eye-Fi(s) did—upload photos to your computer and online—over a Wi-Fi network. The Mobile X2 has a new trick: It'll zap photos to and from your Android and iOS devices.
SD Cards Get High-Performance Indicators
Shopping for SD cards has gotten a little bit easier, assuming you keep up-to-date on the latest SDXC/SDHC product iconography. Henceforth, products with bus-interface speeds up to 104MBps will carry a UHS-I symbol, while products that allow real-time video recording will have UHS Speed Class 1 symbols. Here's how…
Sony Relents After 11 Years, Launches First SD Card Line-up
Big news from the Sony camp today—they're embracing 1999's flash-in-the-pan fad and have launched their first line-up of SD cards. Hopefully that spells the death of the evil Memory Stick and sliding disinterest in their propriety formats.
SD Cards About to Get a Whole Lot Zippier (Like, 300MB a Second Zippy)
I prefer CompactFlash cards to SD, despite the bulk, for speed and durability. (Also, I shoot with big cameras that take big cards.) SD card version 4.0 fixes the speed issue, with transfer speeds of up to 300MB a second.
HP, Dell, and Lenovo Adding SDXC Card Readers to New Laptops?
The new SDXC standard (which theoretically tops out at 2TB) replaces SDHC in 2010, and according to DailyTech, some of the bigger laptop makers may add SDXC support to their upcoming laptops with 32nm Core i5/i7 processors.
Toshiba 64GB SDXC Card Is Will Be the World's Largest, Fastest
On one hand, it's great to see the SDXC standard—which theoretically tops out at 2TB—flexing its muscles a little bit. On the other, I kinda wish Toshiba wouldn't announce a record-breaking SD card six months before release.
New MacBook Pros Can Boot From Their Internal SD Slot
Aside from photo transfers and straight up storage expansion, the SD card slot in the new MacBook Pros has a single,
cool trick up its sleeve (slot?): it's bootable.
Eye-Fi Pro Wireless SD Card Review
The Gadget: Today Eye-Fi Wi-Fi-enabled SD cards have been upgraded with a 4GB Pro version with new features like support for RAW files, selective uploading and the ability to send files straight to your computer with via an ad-hoc network.
First SDXC Card Is The World's Fastest, Only Holds 32GB
SDXC, the new memory card spec announced at CES, promised exciting things, storage-wise. Pretec demonstrated the first card that'll support the standard, and at a mere 32GB and 50MB/s, well, it's a step.
Eye-Fi SD Cards Offering Direct to YouTube Uploading
If you are unfamiliar, Eye-Fi SD cards can add Wi-Fi to any camera (and they work pretty well to boot). Now the company is announcing automatic uploading direct to YouTube.

Genoa salami
This article lends undue weight to certain ideas, incidents, or controversies. (January 2014) |
Genoa salami is an American variety of salami commonly believed to have originated in the area of Genoa. It is normally made from pork, but may also contain beef or be all beef. It is seasoned with garlic, salt, black and white peppercorns, fennel seeds, and red or white wine. Like many Italian sausages, it has a characteristic fermented flavor.
As with many toponym-denominated foods, especially ones common in the United States, Genoa salami is not an actual product of the city of Genoa and no genoese would acknowledge the existence of something called "Salame Genovese" (Genoese Salami); rather the original Genoese name for this kind of sausage is the salame (di) Sant'Olcese, which is a prodotto agroalimentare tradizionale (traditional agricultural food product), and originates in the hilly interior of Genoa's hinterland where pigs are traditionally easily maintained on acorns, chestnuts, and hazelnuts of the local Mediterranean woodlands. Being pressed between the sea and the hills and mountains Genoa traditionally had no plains where to raise cattle (or grow wheat, for that matter) so in traditional genoese cuisine pork meat features rather heavily as a readily-available substitute (in the same way chickpeas and chickpea flour also feature in lieu of wheat flour).

Fisher Investments is a Woodside, CA-based investment advisory firm founded by billionaire Kenneth Fisher. Fisher Investments manages $ 33 billion worth of equity assets primarily adhering to a value-oriented approach, managing U.S., international and global portfolios. The firm employs an active approach, applying proprietary capital markets technology developed through finance theory, history, and momentum. Fisher Investments uses a combination of top-down macroeconomic research and bottom-up, fundamental stock selection process. For the domestic portfolio, the firm typically applies bottom-up, fundamental and quantitative analyses.
A four-factor valuation model that uses P/E, P/B, PSR and dividend yield is used to determine whether a stock is undervalued. Debt and liquidity screens are also employed. For the global and international investments, Fisher Investments generally utilizes a top-down process that places emphasis on the determinants of portfolio returns. The firm looks into portfolio drivers based on economic and political factors, as well as sentiment to identify relevant themes.
The following is a list of Fisher Investments' top buys in the December quarter, as released in its most recent 13F filing with SEC.
Stock | Symbol | Shares Held as on 09/30/2011 | Shares Held as on 12/31/2011 | Change in shares |
Stillwater Mining Co. | 0 | 3800895 | 3800895 | |
McDermott International Inc. | 0 | 2304460 | 2304460 | |
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. | 7187192 | 8629566 | 1442374 | |
Key Energy Services Inc. | 3831107 | 4555312 | 724205 | |
Baidu, Inc. | 4249856 | 4344368 | 94512 |
I recommend going long on Stillwater Mining Co., Taiwan Semiconductor and Baidu, among the above stocks.
Stillwater Mining Company is engaged in the development, extraction, processing, refining and marketing of palladium, platinum and associated platinum group metals from a geological formation in south central Montana, known as the J-M Reef, and from the recycling of spent catalytic converters. I am bullish on platinum and palladium pricing going forward, which makes Stillwater a good buy. The bull thesis for platinum and palladium prices rests on the fact that ongoing power constraints, capital constraints, low return investments, and a significant increase in safety inspections are hampering production of these metals in South Africa. South Africa is home to ~38% of global palladium supplies and ~76% of global platinum supplies. Clearly, the tightening supply will cause an uptick in Platinum and Palladium prices. Stillwater has no exposure to South Africa, which means it will be in a good position to capture both volume as well as pricing upside in these metals.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited engages in the computer-aided designing, manufacturing, packaging, testing, and selling integrated circuits and other semiconductor devices; and manufacturing masks. It offers a range of wafer fabrication processes, including processes to manufacture complementary metal oxide silicon logic, mixed-signal, radio frequency, embedded memory, BiCMOS mixed-signal, and other semiconductors.
Taiwan Semiconductor is one of my favorite picks among global semiconductor companies. Last month, it reported better than expected Q4 results and provided strong guidance. Going forward, I expect a strong 28 nm ramp up due to improving mobile device demand. This will improve average fixed cost and lead to better contribution margins. Revenues from 28 nm are expected to account for more than 10% by 1H 2012.
With a growth rate higher than industry average and 28nm leadership, I believe Taiwan Semiconductor warrants a trading premium over its peers.
Baidu, Inc. is the market leader in the Chinese Internet search market, with an 80% market share. The business has high barriers to entry and even Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) wasn't able to meaningfully challenge Baidu's dominance in the past. Going forward, I believe Baidu can continue to post 50% plus growth for the next several years. China's total online advertising spend to GDP ratio is still five to eight years behind the U.S.
There is a secular tailwind for the leading search company - Baidu - which will be the likely beneficiary as the normalization occurs. According to consensus estimates, Baidu is expected to post EPS of $4.55 in the current year and $6.47 in the next year. It is trading at 21x forward P/E, which is reasonable given its 50% growth rate.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Tim Eyman e-newsletter, October 1, 2009
Tim Eyman |
Tim Eyman newsletters |
October 1, 2009
To: Our thousands of supporters throughout the state (cc'd to the media, house & senate members, and Governor)
From: Tim Eyman, Jack Fagan, Mike Fagan, co-sponsors of the Lower Property Taxes Initiative I-1033
RE: Gregoire rings the dinner bell on tax increases - NO campaign's new radio ad (it's really unbelievable!)
Wednesday's newspapers reported that Gregoire now supports raising taxes and she's asking "lawmakers and interest groups" to tell her which ones to jack up.
Dingdingdingdingdingdingding -- that's the sound of Gregoire ringing the dinner bell on tax increases. Anything goes people, you want higher sales taxes, Gregoire's your gal, a state income tax, Gregoire's on your side, increased property taxes, Gregoire's fine with that too, jacked up business taxes, utility taxes, gas taxes, death taxes, internet taxes, Gregoire's simply hunky-dory with all of them.
In 2004, candidate Gregoire said "I'm not talking about taxes" - then she got into office in 2005, immediately got rid of I-601's inflation/population growth limit and raised taxes. Then she and the Democrats went hog wild and radically increased the growth of government (33% in 4 years), overextending themselves with completely unsustainable budgets. What happened? Gregoire and the Democrats made the bad times a whole lot worse, ending with a $9 billion deficit.
Recognizing their lack of fiscal discipline, we introduced I-960 in 2007, knowing that it likely had a two-year shelf life. Gregoire's comment about I-960 in January, 2007: "the extra handcuffs aren't needed." Voters approved I-960 because they didn't believe her. With I-960's policies firmly in place, Gregoire "suddenly" switched back and decided that tax hikes were a bad idea. She said raising taxes in the middle of a recession will only make the recession last longer. Was I-960's two-year window the cause? Nah, said her supporters, she 'gets it now.'
So now she's switched again.
What could have happened?
Two weeks ago, KING 5 UPFRONT's Allen Schauffler asked the SEIU's David Rolfe, the head of the most powerful public employee union, about his desire to have Democrats raise taxes in 2010 and 2011: "Raise taxes? How do you think they'll respond?" Without hesitation and without prompting, Rolfe replied that I-960's two-year expiration date is 'up' at the end of this year and his group and others will be making sure Democrats know that's what they want.
As a public service, KIRO's Dori Monson provides us all with an audio clip about that (forward to 7:20): http://www.mynorthwest.com/resources/audio_headlines/audio_player.php?a=10840&f=/kiro/2009/09/p_Dori_Monson_Show_20090930_2pm.mp3
Tuesday's poll results among likely voters showed 61% yes, 31% no, 8% undecided. Obviously, voters opposed or undecided saw Gregoire as against taxes over the past two years and they likely believed that she'd stick with that position going forward -- they likely believed that I-1033 wasn't necessary because Gregoire 'gets it now.'
Not any more.
Gregoire's 'anything-goes-on-tax-hikes' re-position undercuts that big time. The NO on I-1033's campaign theme is "we can trust the politicians." That ain't gonna fly anymore.
Our source in the No on I-1033 campaign managed to sneak us a copy of the script for a radio ad they'll be releasing soon. The script indicates that it'll be read by a man with a deep barotone voice. Here it is:
VOTE NO ON INITIATIVE 1033. Our state in heading toward a disaster of biblical proportions. What we mean is Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. 40 years of darkess, earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats, living together, MASS HYSTERIA. VOTE NO ON INITIATIVE 1033. Paid for by the NO on I-1033 campaign, top contributors Washington DC's AFSCME, SEIU, and NEA. Any similarity to the movie Ghostbusters is merely coincidental.
It's unbelievable! Because of the extraordinarily strong support I-1033 enjoys in the polls, these guys are so desperate they're willing to say anything from now until election day. They've got millions of dirty dollars from Washington DC's most powerful labor unions to spread their threats, lies, and scare tactics. We have faith in the common sense of the average taxpayer to see right through it.
CLARIFICATION: In Tuesday's update, we reported the results of the poll and identified it as a Rasmussen Reports poll. When we first started doing initiatives, starting in 1999 with I-695, we used Rasmussen Research to do our polling and they did a great, great job for us; Rasmussen Reports, a separate company, started in 2003 and we continued with them until 2006 and they also continued to provide excellent work for us. After 2006, Rasmussen Reports continued on but also licensed their patented polling methodology to Pulse Opinion Research who we've used since then (they did the September 26, 2007 poll that perfectly predicted the ballot box outcome of I-960). They're all considered Rasmussen polls but we shouldn't have identified Tuesday's update as the results of a Rasmussen Reports poll, we should have identified it as a Rasmussen poll by Pulse Opinion Research or as a poll by Pulse Opinion Research, a company who licenses the methodology of Rasmussen Reports. We wanted to make sure to set the record straight on that.
We're very proud of the 315,000 citizens who signed I-1033's petitions. We believe they spoke for the majority of Washington's voters and support I-1033's renewal of I-601, I-1033's reduction in property taxes, and I-1033's empowerment of the citizens to decide how fast the government should grow and how big a tax burden we can afford.
Best Regards, Tim Eyman, Jack Fagan, & Mike Fagan, Fighting for Taxpayers for Twelve Years, co-sponsors of the Lower Property Taxes Initiative I-1033.

This document is part of the of the Quality Assurance (QA) Activity. It presents examples and describes the techniques of operational aspects of quality practices within the W3C's Working Groups. It complements "QA Framework: Operational Guidelines"[QAF-OPS], by specifying or illustrating how to meet the operational and process-related checkpoints of that document.
This version is a Editors-only draft. SOTD for FPWD follows...
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. The latest status of this document series is maintained at the W3C.
This document is a W3C Working Draft (WD), made available by the W3C Quality Assurance (QA) Activity for discussion by W3C members and other interested parties. For more information about the QA Activity, please see the QA Activity statement.
This version is the first public Working Draft, and supersedes all previous WG-only drafts. It is expected that updated WD versions of this document will be produced regularly, along with other members of the Framework documents family. Future progression of this document beyond Working Draft is possible, but has not yet been determined.
In this version, several example case studies are presented in some detail -- how the QA projects of three existing Working Groups relate to the checkpoints of the operational guidelines [QAF-OPS]. It is expected that future versions will add at least one example to the current three (SVG, DOM, and XML). This version contains relatively little development of "techniques" -- what Working Groups should do to satisfy the operational and process-related checkpoints, and what constitutes conformance to the checkpoints. This is expected to be a significant addition in future versions.

This document contains examples and techniques of QA-related activities within the W3C as well as guidance as to how the quality processes of the Working Groups (WGs) should be carried out. It complements "QA Framework: Operational Guidelines" [QAF-OPS], by specifying or illustrating how to meet the operational and process-related checkpoints of that document.
The operational guidelines document should be considered a prerequisite to this one. In addition to containing all of the checkpoints to which the contents of this document pertain, it explains principles underlying the conduct of WG quality processes.
Four test suite (TS) efforts related to W3C Recommendations are used as examples. Some of them were written in-house (within the responsible WG), some externally (outside of W3C), and some are hybrid (external plus in-house effort). All of them have succeeded in producing significant and valuable TS deliverables.
In all four cases, the associated WGs have existed and were well advanced on the relevant Recommendations before the operational guidelines [QAF-OPS] were first published. Because these projects preceded the guidelines, it makes no sense to score them against checkpoints -- it is unreasonable to expect them to meet all of the checkpoints. Instead, the various aspects of the different projects are used to illustrate the meaning and intent of the checkpoints. In a sense, the checkpoints are the union of the best practice and techniques from all of projects (these and others).
This points to a timing-based reality of conformance to the operational guidelines. The conformance criteria ("techniques", to be developed and added in the future), will be different for new Working Groups versus existing Working Groups.
This document is heavily weighted towards case studies, examples and illustrations. It has relatively little specification of techniques for meeting checkpoints, or criteria for judging conformance to the checkpoints.
The structure of this document parallels the structure of the operational guidelines [QAF-OPS] document, particularly its Chapter 3, "Guidelines". It should be realized that all of the given examples of W3C Working Groups' QA-related activities were started before the applicable parts of the W3C QA Activity. The useful milestone for the latter is the first publication of the Operational Guidelines, February 2002.
Relevant common features in these example frameworks will be pointed out, and they will be compared against the statements of the checkpoints of the operational guidelines. For each of the given example QA-related frameworks, a short description of each will be presented. The subsequent parts of the document will elaborate on the checkpoints -- including links to relevant process-related documents and resources -- and how they have been realized in various efforts.
Herein is a summary description of each of a small set of case studies of W3C QA-related activities, as well as some external to the W3C.
Each subsection covers the following topics:
The DOM TS was jointly launched by the W3C and NIST and is produced in public. It uses coordination from the W3C DOM WG, and is produced using communication through a W3C-hosted mailing list as well as W3C-supplied storage for files, documents and so forth. The TS was to be developed in public, and the WG would endorse two bindings, Java and ECMAscript, the same as the official DOM bindings. Other bindings were welcomed but would not form part of the official TS.
The DOM TS was launched by the W3C DOM WG and NIST in an effort to invite the public to participate in the production of quality testing material for implementations of the DOM specifications. Staffing requirements were limited, so an expert was invited to the DOM WG in order to produce and edit the DOM TS Process Document. The DOM TS was in its initial phase very similar to a previously launched DOM Test Suite launched by NIST, which was used as a primer for the forthcoming work.[@@include links to relevant emails]
Since the DOM charter did not include sections on producing test materials, this was included in the DOM TS process, which outlined the DOM TS deliverables in detail.
The DOM TS was produced after specification for the first two levels (DOM Level 1 & 2) and is produced in parallel with specifying DOM Level 3. DOM Level 1 was released in late 1998, so it was not possible to synchronise the specification of the firsl level of the ODM with the Test Suite.
Starting with the current level of the DOM, the TS is produced in parallel with the specification. Tests are being produced to allow for implementors to check their implenentations of DOM level 3 while contributing to relevant parts of the specification. Also, members of the DOM WG have commited to produce tests for those modules of the ODM that are particularly relevant to their implementations.
There is a separate DOM TS Process Document, and also a Test Web page where you can find more information and pointers to primers, FAQ's and tutorials, maintained by the DOM WG representative to the DOM TS.
The DOM TS uses W3C machinery to store test files, using CVS for easy tracking, and an issue tracking system at Sourceforge, in order to simplify issues and maintenance.
As used in this case study, "SVG" refers collectively to two consecutively chartered Working Groups. SVG1 refers to the originally chartered group (first meeting, Sept 1998) that produced SVG 1.0 (Recommendation, Sept 2001). SVG2 is the successor to SVG1, (re-)chartered in 2001, and charged with developing SVG 1.1 (modularization and profiles), and SVG 2.0. SVG 1.1 is presently at the stage of CR.
SVG 1.0 was released with a comprehensive "Basic Effectivity" (BE) test suite, that was developed entirely within the working group. The test suite (TS) comprises 127 test cases that span the functionality of SVG, exercising each major functional feature of SVG 1.0 at least lightly, but not probing any features in detail. SVG2 is adapting and subsetting the tests of the SVG1 TS for smaller and less capable mobile devices that are the target constituency of the Tiny and Basic profiles.
The SVG1 test suite was developed entirely by the working group. A pilot study sponsored by one of the members became the basis for design. A "TS Editor" (moderator) managed the project from inception to completion. All WG members are expected to participate in the writing and review of test cases. The SVG2 approach is identical -- a WG member is the TS moderator, and all WG members contribute.
Both SVG1 & SVG2 charters specify a "comprehensive test suite" as a deliverable, and coordinate the dates of first TS delivery (first publication) and the specification CR milestone. There is no further detailed breakdown of milestones or deliverables, as this was worked out (for SVG1) as the specification development progressed.
The test suites were (are) produced during the specification-writing phase. The target is substantial completion at the CR milestone, so that the TS could be used to facilitate the "interoperable implementations" W3C Process requirements of CR.
SVG has no QA process document per se, but much of the content that these operational checkpoints anticipate and require may be found in the extensive reference document, "SVG Conformance Test Suite -- Test Builder's Manual". Unless otherwise specified in that document, the normal WG processes of the SVG Working Group are used to conduct the TS work.
The SVG WG keeps the SVG TS on a CVS server of one of the WG members. Revision tracking is therefore handled by CVS. Maintenance procedures and issue tracking for SVG TS are not separately defined, but rather SVG TS uses the normal SVG WG processes for these.
The XML Conformance Test Suite, v1.0, Second Edition contains over 2000 test files and an associated test report. The test report contains background information on conformance testing for XML as well as test descriptions for each of the test files included in the TS.
The OASIS/NIST XML Test Suite forms the basis for the W3C XML TS. It was transferred to W3C where it is being augmented with new functionality, corrected to align with the Recommendation and its errata, and maintained. Prior to accepting the OASIS/NIST Test Suite, the XML Core WG assessed the level of effort necessary for TS development and maintenance and ensured that staff resources were interested and available to work on the TS. Additionally, the WG enlisted the assistance of NIST to lead the effort. The TS is being developed as a deliverable of the WG, following the WG's Process. There is a W3C hosted XML TS mailing list, Issues list, and W3C supplied storage (CVS) for the test-suite related files.
A commitment from NIST to take editor-lead responsibility for the TS was obtained prior to the commencement of the work. Consequently, NIST joined the WG. Members of the XML Core WG contribute to the development and quality assessment of the TS. When the XML TS is released by the WG, the general public will be invited to review the tests as well as participate in contributing tests.
The W3C XML Core WG charter does not include sections on producing test materials. A new charter provides for the possibility of working on the OASIS/NIST XML Test Suite. The WG does not have a separate QA Process, but follows the WG Process for the development, assessment and maintenance of the XML TS. This is not explicitly documented in a separate QA process document, but the individual decisions are on record in WG mail archives and minutes as part of the normal WG process.
The work on the OASIS/NIST XML Test Suite was conducted after the XML 1.0 Recommendation was released. A revised edition of the OASIS/NIST Test Suite 1.0 (Second Edition) Test Suite was released to complement the W3C XML 1.0 Second Edition Recommendation (October 6, 2000). Within the XML Core WG, the XML TS is being updated to reflect the current Recommendation and all applicable Errata.
There is no separate QA Process document. The XML Core WG charter uses its established WG Process to handle test development/assessment activities, communication means and test materials related functions.
The XML WG uses the W3C CVS repository to maintain the XML TS. The XML TS issues are maintained utilizing an internal assessment process that consists of a running log of test issues, XML TS mailing lists, XML Core WG discussions and the XML Test Suite Issues document that keeps track of the running log of issues.
[@@ to be done. Probably must wait till next version after FPWD.]
This section looks at the guidelines and checkpoints in the operational guidelines [QAF-OPS ], and how their requirements are reflected in the various existing frameworks. Where appropriate, pointers to relevant documents and materials are provided.
The structure of this section exactly parallels the structure of the its Chapter 3, "Guidelines", of the operational guidelines [QAF-OPS] document. Each checkpoint links back to the corresponding checkpoint of "QA Framework: Operational Guidelines" [QAF-OPS].
Under each checkpoint, there is discussion of how each of the example QA or TS projects relate to the checkpoint. Finally, there will be a summary enumeration of ways in which the each checkpoint may be satisfactorily satisfied [@@this synthesis will be done in a future version].
Guideline 1. Integrate Quality Assurance into Working Group activities.
DOM discussion
In the DOM TS, the QA activities were integrated into Working Group activities by inviting a field expert to do the coordination between WG and TS Group. Coordination was necessary as the DOM WG QA activity was launched in coordination with an external party, and, furthermore, was to be produced externally.
SVG discussion
QA was integrated into the SVG WG activities by charter commitment to produce test suites, and subsequent involvement of most WG members in the writing, reviewing, and maintenance of the test materials. The charters committed, in the cases of both SVG1 and SVG2, that a "basic test suite" (i.e., Basic Effectivity) would exist at or before Candidate Recommendation. The details of deliverables, milestones, and publication were generally worked out by the WG as the specifications developed.
XML discussion
The QA activities are integrated into WG activities by using the WG Process. Although the activities are not reflected in the WG Charter, deliverables are identified, expected release dates determined, staff allocated, and there is a clear commitment to developing and maintaining the TS.
Checkpoint 1.1. In the Charter, specify the level of commitment to QA. Plan to have at least a commitment to "QA level three". [Priority 1]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Checkpoint 1.2. In the Charter, plan at least for the "QA level five". [Priority 2]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Checkpoint 1.3. In the Charter, plan for the "QA level seven". [Priority 3]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Checkpoint 1.4. In the Charter, enumerate QA deliverables and expected milestones. [Priority 1]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Checkpoint 1.5. In the Charter, associate QA criteria with WG milestones. [Priority 2]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Guideline 2. Define resources for Working Group QA activities.
DOM discussion
The DOM WG appointed an invited expert to monitor and coordinate the work of the DOM TS. Furthermore, the members of the DOM TS have looked into producing tests fot that part of the specification which is of particular interest to their implementations.
SVG discussion
The SVG1 and SVG2 charters explicitly charge the WG with producing test materials, but do not further address specific staffing. In fact, the expectation has evolved that all WG members should contribute to the building of the TS. In both cases, a "TS Editor" has been assigned to lead and coordinate the TS production.
XML discussion
The WG appointed NIST to lead the TS effort and coordinate the work of the XML TS. Furthermore, members of the WG have reviewed and assessed the current set of tests, corrected tests, and contributed tests.
Checkpoint 2.1. In the Charter, address where and how conformance test materials will be produced. [Priority 1]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Checkpoint 2.2. In the Charter, address QA staffing commitments. [Priority 1]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Checkpoint 2.3. In the Call For Participation, request allocation of QA resources to the Working Group. [Priority 1]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Guideline 3. Synchronize QA activities with the milestones for WG deliverables.
DOM discussion
The milestones were given in the DOM TS Process document and were monitored by the DOM WG in order to assure the satisfactory continuation of the DOM TS group work. In those cases where the TS Group needed more time to achieve its goals, the DOM WG representative reported to the WG in order to appeal for an extension.
Applicable in so far as the TS releases are (for levels currently being specified) synchronized with the relevant modules of the DOM specifications.
SVG discussion
The SVG1 and SVG2 charters establish the basic synchronization, which is that the first publications of basic test suites (TS) should be at or before the beginning of CR stage. Beyond that, there are no explicit (i.e., written down) synchronizations. This happens in fact as part of the WG process and the TS building. TS publications are synchronized with selected late-stage document versions (CR, PR, Rec). There is no explicit scheme for labelling/linking test cases according to errata, although this would be reconstructable from the CVS repository for the TS.
XML discussion
The TS work is being conducted in close coordination with the WG's other deliverables. The TS is being updated and augmented to reflect the current work of the WG, including resolved issues related to the Recommendation and published Errata. Tests for new functional areas are also being explored as the deliverables for those Recommendations progress (i.e., Xinclude and Namespace).

DOM TS Process document
SVG discussion
SVG support the process requirements of a QA moderator (manager of TS development) and a "task force" (it is the whole WG, by explicit choice). TS-related communication is handled internally on the whole-WG list, and externally via a public TS comment list. SVG does not have a Process document, per se, that spells out these details. It does have a TS manual that defines the TS framework in some detail.
XML discussion
The WG Process is used.

Guideline 5. QA Process: Plan test materials development.
DOM discussion
As the DOM TS drew on experiences made by an external party (NIST), the work initially drew heavily on those experiences. Where the subsequent work indicated digression, the future version of the DOM TS was branched off and formed the official W3C DOM TS. The test material planning was made by the DOM WG representative to the DOM TS in coordination with NIST and the public, after the DOM TS had been officially launched.
Several design issues were discussed by the DOM TS Group itself, then brought to the DOM WG for acceptance. Such issues include the automatic generation of the schema language for the DOM TS, using the same test description file to generate the official bindings (and the unofficial ones using a different transform) as well as using particular build tools to build working and official releases of the DOM TS.
Most discussion was done on the DOM Group mailing list and coordinated with the DOM WG. More information can be found in the DOM TS page, which serves as a complete reference for DOM TS related information.
SVG discussion
The planning for SVG's test materials development started with a study and prototype design, sponsored by one of the SVG WG members. This work was brought into the WG as the starting point of the TS development, and was further developed, refined, and applied by the moderator ("TS Editor"). Both user documentation (for TS releases) and contributors documentation were developed. The latter described the TS framework in some detail, and gave both technical criteria for the contributed test cases plus review/acceptance criteria. The actually processes and procedures for contribution and review were not explicitly defined, as all materials came from WG members (and therefore followed WG process).
XML discussion
The XML TS drew on the experiences and expertise of NIST, the original developer of the test suite framework. The original work was revised to included test requirements with a mapping to the test cases and to the specification. The planning of improvements and augmentation to the original work was discussed and decided by the WG. Techniques and methods were borrowed from other test suite development efforts, such as DOM and XSL-FO.
Checkpoint 5.1. In the test framework, ensure test materials are documented and usable for the intended purpose. [Priority 2]

Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Guideline 6. QA Process: Plan test materials publication.
DOM discussion
Plans for test material publication are discussed internally in the DOM TS group, and then decided by the DOM TS Group in coordination with the DOM WG.
SVG discussion
The SVG TS project has explicitly discussed and planned the key aspects of TS publication. CVS repository is used for the ongoing development of the TS, and at agreed milestones, a snapshot is taken and published under the W3C Document License. The TS home page links all of the materials and documentation, and also points to an implementation matrix that publishes the TS results of a half-dozen or so implementations.
XML discussion
Publication of the TS is being discussed by the WG. The TS will reside on the W3C web space and will be freely and publicly available. In general, the publication details of the XML TS are relatively invisible outside of the WG, because there has not been any publication yet.
Checkpoint 6.1. Ensure a secure and reliable repository location for future test materials. [Priority 2]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Checkpoint 6.2. In the QA Process document, define the licenses applicable to published test materials. [Priority 2]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.

Checkpoint 6.4. Provide a disclaimer regarding the use of the test materials for compliance verification. [Priority 2]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Checkpoint 6.5. In the QA Process document, describe how test results for the products can be published. [Priority 3]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Guideline 7. Plan the transfer of test materials to W3C if needed.
DOM discussion
This issue was addressed early on in the specification phase of the DOM TS work, as a choice had to be made between integrating an existing TS or just using the existing one as a primer for its succesor. The latter was preferred.
This is addressed in the DOM TS Process document.
SVG discussion
This guideline is not applicable to the SVG TS -- all TS development so far has occurred within the SVG WG.
XML discussion
The issue was addressed prior to the transfer of the TS to XML WG, and prior to the start of TS development and maintenance there. Since that phase is finished, it is no longer applicable. Included in the discussions were the quality of the OASIS/NIST XML Test Suite, amount of work needed to correct and improve it, as well as IPR questions.
Checkpoint 7.1. If transfer of the test materials to W3C is planned, perform an assessment of their quality. [Priority 2]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Checkpoint 7.2. If transfer of the test materials to W3C is planned, identify sufficient staff resources to meet the requirements. [Priority 2]

Checkpoint 7.3. If transfer of the test materials to W3C is planned, resolve IPR questions and reach agreement with the external party that produced test materials. [Priority 1]
Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Guideline 8. Plan for test materials maintenance.
DOM discussion
No clear plan for test material maintenance has been made, other than indicating in the process document that these issues will be adressed by the DOM TS group.
Not applicable
SVG discussion
[@@ to be done]
XML discussion
No clear plan for test material maintenance has been made yet. The need to address this has been acknowledged by the WG, with plans to address it in the near future.

Guidelines document description of checkpoint.
Checkpoint 8.2. In the Working Group's QA process document, specify a procedure for updates of the test materials to track new errata/specification versions. [Priority 2]

There is no concept of conformance to this document. Rather, conformance is measured relative to the checkpoints of the companion document, "QA Framework: Operational Guidelines" [QAF-OPS]. This document relates real-world examples to the checkpoints' requirements, and also presents techniques by which the checkpoints may be satisfied. In that sense, it defines conformance criteria for the conformance requirements (checkpoints) of the operational guidelines document.

A Texas megachurch that broke away from the largest Presbyterian congregation in the United States will have to pay $7.8 million in order to secure its property.
Highland Park Presbyterian Church of Dallas, which recently voted to leave Presbyterian Church (USA) due to the denomination's liberal theology, agreed to a settlement with its former regional body.
The PCUSA Presbytery of Grace and Highland Park reached the settlement comes the month before oral arguments were to be heard in a lawsuit Highland Park leveled to not pay for the church property. more >>
Pastor Kong Hee of City Harvest Church tried to wipe out links tying his church to Xtron Productions, the management firm behind his wife Sun Ho's pop career, the prosecution argued on Monday. Kong and five other church members are being accused of misusing $19.2 million to fund Ho's career.
"The reason why you were trying to sweep the transactions with Xtron under the carpet is because that's what you do if your house is dirty and a visitor might be turning up unexpectedly," said Deputy Public Prosecutor Christopher Ong.
Kong argued that church members removed such links in order to 'avoid any misconceptions by the authorities,' Channel News Asia reported. more >>
Pastor Perry Noble of NewSpring Church took to social media on Sunday to announce that 2,335 people had been baptized throughout their 10 South Carolina campuses.
Noble and his megachurch often celebrate large baptism and salvation numbers but he says the church in general needs to do a better job at celebrating God's work, including the name and story behind each individual.
"Over and over again His people are called to celebrate who God is and what He has done," Noble wrote in a blog post. "As His church, we should refuse to be silent when He has been so good … every number has a name, every name has a story and every story matters to God." more >>
After weathering a blistering week of scorn and ridicule for controversial comments she made during a worship service at the popular Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, including a declaration that worship is not for God, co-pastor Victoria Osteen now says that's not what she meant and dismissed the notion as "ridiculous."
"While I admit that I could have been more articulate in my remarks, I stand by my point that when we worship God and are obedient to Him we will be better for it," she told The Blaze in a statement Friday. "I did not mean to imply that we don't worship God; that's ridiculous, and only the critics and cynics are interpreting my remarks that way."
She further explained that her congregants at Lakewood Church knew exactly what she meant and there was no confusion among the flock she co-pastors with her New York Times bestselling author husband Joel Osteen. more >>
The senior pastor of the largest Latino-led church in San Diego has been named president of The Hispanic Mega Church Association, where he will work to bring the country's largest Hispanic congregations together.
Pastor Sergio de la Mora says isolated churches are no longer relevant to the nation and believes in joining forces as a cohesive and collaborative church at large.
"For every nationality, every demographic and every social circle, today is the dawn of a new day. And our responsibility as the local church is to lead this shift in power and influence by leading our families, communities and nation to experience a Heart Revolution," de la Mora said in a statement. more >>
Attendance numbers in a megachurch are important regardless of the criticism they might get because churches are not meant to stay small and comfortable, says Perry Noble, senior pastor of the multi-campus NewSpring Church.
Noble said he has "caught some flak" in the past for caring about numbers too much and he admits that NewSpring hopes to attract more people than they have now because Jesus also cared about attracting multitudes.
"We're all about the numbers because we believe that every number has a name, every name has a story, and every story matters to God," Noble said in a recent blog post. "We aren't just about NewSpring being a church of thousands of people … we want all churches to be thousands strong because of the potential the church has." more >>

Your State Laws?
If I read things right here some states BAN Assault Rifles and certain magazines? Bummer!
Raised in Florida I find this very sad and hard to comprehend. Hypothetical Situation - If your'e driving home from work and carry weapons, come across a Law-Man pinned down behind his vehicle and taking fire from thugs - Would you stop to assist in any way possible or keep driving in fear of prosecution from a violation of your State Laws, is your state that bad? |

First idea, turn around and go the other way. Stopping to help out could be very dangerous. The cop does not know you are a friendly, he may think you are friend of the thugs and start shooting at you, or cops arriving to assist may think the same thing. Then of course the thugs might start shooting as well. I think the only time I might help would be in a very rural area where you expect help is going to be long coming. Stop a safe distance away and ask if the cop wants or needs assistance first, if he says yes then get the rifle out. If you are going to and from work your chances of carrying a banned weapon is pretty small, state to state travel it may be a bit more likely.

Hypothetical Speculation:
You want to make sure you are in a good position when his back-up arrives. Why not just put your car between the bad guys and the cop and exit the vehicle?

We could come up with thousands of different do or don't scenerios thats not the issue perhaps I wasn't clear enough.
Living in a state with enough extreme anti-gun regulations to make one second guess assisting an officer in trouble for fear of prosecution would be just horrible. Cops I grew up with used to knock on my door at all hours to borrow weapons they didn't have access to years ago when drug planes and helicopters landed a little west of here. Used to be a small town where everyone knew each other. |

I'm afraid this OP doesn't make much sense to me. For it to continue:
1. Is the question whether you would aid a LEO. Much discussed before it terms of risks to you, moral obligation to help, views of the police and the every popular chest pounding? 2. Is it whether you would use an illegal-in-your-state weapon to aid an officer? 3. Would you use a legal AW weapon to aid an LEO as compared to another weapon? If it went awry would using an AW be used against you? So what's up? Clarify it, please?

I thought it was quite a simple question without going into all these different scenerios, would you help an officer in distress or are your state laws so restrictive they would prohibit you from doing so?

Ok - I understand - there is no such law that I know of. Since you didn't clarify a scenario that makes some legal sense, it's closed.

Another possibility is if the timelord version of Clara has anything to do with Missy? Probably not however.
What if the different versions of Clara all appear in the two parter? The ones that died are now in "heaven"?
Guys, if you keep pausing and starting again, when the side bit of the plane blow off... Missy is with the Doctor. Around about 23 - 24 seconds.
Bringing back the Timelords would mean the ultimate destruction of the Daleks, or the time war will just begin anew as shown in Time of the Doctor.
By the looks from the video the Sonic might become a little less reliable...
Just point out these episodes that are rated so low are still getting over 7 on average... I think that's pretty darn good!
Needed to be a two parter... Started off promising, then rushed through it... So much more they could have done with this, the whole time happening at once, could have lead to a multiply Doctor story, even a cameo (Paul McGann), Daleks, Cybermen, all of them! But no, we got a bit of Churchill (which was the best part) and then time going forward... 6/10
My little cousin was watching Power Rangers Time Force earlier.. Should totally do that hahaha! XD
I think with rumours of spin offs, a mini series of a John Hurt series set during the Time War would be pretty good, as for a actual return.. Im undecided...
These are great improvements to the site! Glad they did it!
