Synopsis of the Books of the Bible, by John Nelson Darby, [1857-62], at sacred-texts.com
David, the king of Judah in Hebron for seven years and a half, becomes the king of all Israel upon Ishbosheth's death And now David is no longer the man of faith who, himself the head of the armies of Israel walking in dependence upon God, guided the enterprises which the circumstances of Israel required of faith; but he is a king who can exalt whom he will The man very soon appears, the energetic man, but not the man of God. "Whosoever getteth up to the gutter," the king said should be rewarded; "he shall be chief and captain" (Sa2 5:8). Joab goes up, and he has natural claims upon David [See Note #1]. Nevertheless, in the main David is guided by God, and he takes the city which God had chosen for His throne upon the earth. It was on this account he could say of those who had it in possession, "they are hated of David's soul"; for in fact they who possess the true seat of God's power, the place which He loves, and who, trusting to their natural strength, resist and scoff at the king whom God has chosen, are more hateful than any people, and are hated by those who have the Spirit of the Lord who establishes His throne upon the earth.
It is well to remark here, that David is a type of Christ in rejection, and of Christ making war in power for the establishment of the millennium; as Solomon is of Christ reigning in millennial peace. David's wars with the Philistines are subsequent to the taking of Jerusalem, and to the entire subjugation of Israel to David. It is not David, neither is it Christ reigning over the earth, who takes Jerusalem. Christ will descend from heaven for the destruction of Antichrist; but He destroys the enemies of Israel by means of His own people, after having established His throne in Zion (compare Zechariah 9 and 10). I do not enlarge upon this; I merely point out the grand features which the word supplies on this subject.
David establishes himself in Zion; he is acknowledged by some friendly Gentiles; he is conscious too that it was God who made him king. But the natural heart soon shews itself. Strengthened in his kingdom by Jehovah, he does what he likes, he follows his own will (compare Deu 17:17). Nevertheless the consolidation of his power does not overthrow the hopes of his former enemies [See Note #2]; it excites their jealousy. They neither know the arm of his strength, nor the purpose of Jehovah who exalted him. They rush on to destruction. And now, with the danger that awakens him, we find again the man of God, the type of the Lord Jesus, inquiring of Jehovah, and obedient to His word. He gains signal victories under the express guidance of God, whose strength goes before him and puts his enemies to flight. Accordingly he gives God the glory.
Note #1
Joab was evidently clever and enterprising: but it is remarkable that he is not named among those who distinguished themselves by brilliant exploits, when individual faith had to fight for God's glory When it is a question of being chief and captain, a place which David had held till then, Joab immediately comes forward.
Note #2
It is evident, from many Old Testament prophecies, that it will be the same when Christ returns to the earth. And yet at that period, if man exalts himself, it will be but for sudden destruction.

After ending their interest in Carlos Tevez, Milan will now turn their attention to extending the contract of boss Massimiliano Allegri.
The tactician's present terms expires in June 2012 and talks over a new deal have yet to reach a compromise.
Both parties want to continue their relationship, but there is a difference of opinion when it comes to salary.
The Rossoneri want to offer the former Cagliari boss a deal worth €2m a season with bonus incentives that would see the tactician possibly net a further €500,000.
Allegri, however, wants a flat deal of €2.5m which is not dependant on achieving certain results.
The 44-year-old moved to San Siro at the start of last season and delivered the Scudetto at his first attempt.

Physics professor receives Early Career Research grant
ARLINGTON - Amir Farbin, an assistant professor in physics at The University of Texas at Arlington, has received an Early Career Research Award from the Department of Energy. The award, announced Jan. 14, is one of only three granted to university researchers working with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in CERN, Switzerland.
A total of 69 scientists in the United States received the five-year grants, which provide at least $150,000 each year in research support.
Farbin will research dark matter and dark energy using the ATLAS detector at the LHC.
"One of the biggest mysteries about the universe is that, for decades, conclusive evidence has shown that the familiar matter - the building blocks of stars, planets and living organisms - constitutes just a tiny fraction of all energy/mass in existence," Farbin said. "We now think that the universe is dominated by two mysterious phenomena known as dark matter and dark energy."
Despite that the phenomena have never been captured or created in a laboratory, Farbin said they undeniably exert influence on large structures, such as galaxies. Yet little is known about dark matter and energy, so Farbin proposed what will likely be the first dark-matter search at the LHC.
Farbin's work is representative of the research under way at UT Arlington, an institution of 28,000 students on its way to becoming a nationally recognized, top-tier research university.
The University of Texas at Arlington is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.

Centrica plc's North American subsidiary Direct Energy has acquired the Indiana-based natural gas retailer Vectren Source from Vectren Corporation for US $39 million (£25 million) in cash, plus additional working capital.
Vectren Source has more than 146,000 residential and small commercial customer accounts, together with an additional 134,000 aggregation customer accounts1. Around 95% of customers are located in Ohio, with the remainder in New York State and Indiana. The acquisition adds substantially to Direct Energy's existing Ohio residential base of 210,000 customers.
The addition of Vectren Source has the potential to deliver significant cost savings once integration is completed and further strengthens Direct Energy's position in the US Northeast. Last year, Direct Energy acquired the New York-based energy retailer Gateway Energy Services Corporation, taking its total number of customer accounts in the region to more than 800,000.
Direct Energy President and CEO Chris Weston said: "Competitive retail markets in the US Northeast provide us with valuable opportunities to grow our business. The acquisition of Vectren Source supports Direct Energy's strategy to add scale to our downstream activities and forms part of Centrica's strategic priority to build a leading integrated North American business."

The current drought in Australia raises questions about the extent to which urban life depends on physical forces that come with their own dynamics and eccentric rhythms. I suggest that currently deepening understandings of the inherent volatility of earth processes might help us appreciate the accomplishments of those who have stayed in place for hundreds or thousands of years: peoples whose 'nomadic' journeys through deep time have taken them through major bio- or geo-physical transformations in their environments. In this way, we might learn to recognize how most urban or settled life inherits terrains whose irregularities and extremes have been softened by the efforts of these prior inhabitants. In a world where we can expect major environmental changes to induce new waves of estrangement and displacement, I ask whether a sense of the immeasurable debt which we owe to those people who came before us might help inspire the kind of cosmopolitan sensibilities we would hope for.

Crisply done thriller
A thriller with a difference, screanplay is nicely done, keeping the thrill and suspense. The movie is predominantly of Prithviraj and Sasikumar, but Pia Bajpai has left a lasting impact by her effortless acting and great screen presence. Photography is good.ashik k abdullah

What size slide do you need for this model? and can you purchased the glider as well?
For someone with little expertise in carpentry, I found this to be a great build-your-own swing set. All you really need is the kit, some lumber, a drill and a circular saw. The longest (note, I didn't say hardest) part was the measuring and cutting. That's it. The instructions were easy to follow. I put this swing set together for my two kids in only two days (by myself). It would go more quickly with help (probably a day). Hope this is helpful.

612 set This product lists as having all of the necessary hardware. In the instructions, Page 6, we found we needed 4 lbs of screws and nails in addition to what was sent in the kit. My husband and son, both skilled carpenters, laughed at the assembly time of 3-4 hours. The lumber also ran an additional $250 but they did hand select each piece which is a plus. This is not a weekend project for one person but ultimately, for $400 more or less, my grandson will have a sturdy swingset that could have run us close to $3000.

exactly what I needed to build a swingset I've wanted to build a swingset for my kids for a while. I looked at the kits for sale in the big box stores, but the reviews for them mentioned holes that didn't line up, cracked warped boards and lumber that rotted out quickly. I priced other plans, that don't even come with any brackets, or the other extra's, and they were more money for the plans once you subtracted the price of the swings and fort roof. Buying this kit gave me the plans and brackets I needed to get the job done. I liked being able to select the lumber my self, and being able to modify some parts as needed. The brackets allow faster constructon than notching the main beams together. I was able to build a complete swing set over two days, mostly because I built it by myself, and because It took almost half a day to buy the lumber and get it home. If I'd bought the lumber ahead of time I could have built it in one day. The only downside to the plans I found, they really underestamated the amount of 2.5" screws needed. the plan says 1 lb. I was lucky to have a couple of other boxes of exterior screws lying around. I believe I went through over 5 lbs of them and I was following the plans when I ran out of the first pound. Buy the large box of the 2.5" screws, not the 1 lb one.

My grandson loves it For me it would have been a difficult job if not for my son who has some construction knowledge and is handy with tools. It is a 2 day job. First day go to your local ******* with your shopping list and get the wood and screws. Ran me about $$. You'll use a lot of screws. Also get a drill bit larger than the 6" size they sell. Not easy drilling the swing holes through the cross beam, and a 6" bit won't cut it. Get is home, make all the cuts, and lay it out on your job site with the hardware kit, Your done for the day, kick back, have a cold one, and start the next morning. We began Sunday morning at 9 am and finished in time for kickoff at 1. Definately a 2 person job, one to hold the wood, another to drive in the screws. Some of the instructions took both of us to understand. Crossbeam is heavy so if you have a burley friend you can call it'll make that part easier. Reason for 4 stars is the brackets that came with the kit were not cut properly, so we had to call the company, spoke to a lovely lady named Beverly, and she overnighted us new brackets. To save yourself a trip, buy an extra box of 2 1/2" deck screws, you'll need them and you won't have to stop mid job to go get them. Going to let the wood settle and then seal it. No need to anchor it. Even with adults swinging it didn't budge. In the end it came out nice, and my grandson is already enjoying it. Picture is misleading. Comes with 2 swings, paid anotther $$ for the slide, and now my wife wants to add on with a glider. More money! Still, the smile on my grandson is priceless.

Alpine Swing Set I researched playsets for months before we purchased this kit. My husband, father and father in law worked 7 hrs to complete the playground. (My hubby did spend 3 hrs the prior weekend cutting down and labeling all of the lumber.) It is VERY sturdy. I liked the idea that we could purchase our own lumber. We bought pre-treated lumber and plan to stain it a dark redwood. My husband and both fathers have alot of experience with constuction and wood work. They all three made the comment that the set was "over built." We would recommend this kit- great price and great value!

Great set! This was a great buy! We built (well actually my husband built) a $1300 swing set in about a day and a few hours the next morning. We spent $320 total on this set and the wood. It's a great deal and the hinges and things enclosed really are sturdy and make it easier to build.

High quality looking swing, depends on the lumber. Love it, only bad things is you have to buy your own lumber, but it supplies all the the bolts. Took about 2-3 days to set it up with 2 men. Its been 2 years and now the vinyl top is ripping so it needs some weather protection on it.

Great option for less money We purchased this rather than go for the more expensive (and lower quality) pre-cut kits. Being able to purchase our own treated lumber gives me peace of mind that we have a quality playset. The instructions were simple and easy to follow. It took one person two half days to complete, and that's with cutting the wood as we went. My only wish is that it would have come with 3 or 4 swing hooks instead of two. There is room for 4 apparatuses, but we had to purchase the additional hardware. Make sure you go with screws and not nails! My kids definitely love it!

You can add a lot of old-fashioned charm to your bathroom with a claw foot tub and shower enclosure.

And that can require a custom enclosure frame for your unique claw foot tub. Here are a few steps to help you install it.

Gawdin Headlines Draft Class
Written by Shawn Mullin
Thursday, 03 May 2012
Scouts and managers will often tell you that point totals can be deceiving.
A player could partially be the product of the talent around him or the system his team plays.
In Glenn Gawdin's case the numbers speak for themselves. The Richmond, BC native finished with 58 goals and 90 points for the Seafair Islanders Bantam A1 Team. That's
43 goals and 51 points more than anyone else on his team
It also explains why a young player who describes himself as a playmaker ended up lighting the lamp so often.
"We didn't have that strong of a team... so I kind of hand to score some more goals," Gawdin said. "I just like to make the players around me better and hopefully they make me better too."
The Swift Current Broncos are banking on him doing just that after taking Gawdin with their first round pick, fifth overall in Thursday's WHL Bantam Draft.
"He's a big centre (with a) right handed shot" said Broncos Assistant General Manager Jamie Porter. "He's the guy we've been targeting for the last few weeks at least. Skilled, good sized, right handed shooting centremen are hard to find."
It's an important pick for the Broncos as they search for their next franchise forward. After picking defencemen with each of their last three first round picks, Swift Current felt they needed an impact forward this time around. They haven't picked a forward this high since drafting Cody Eakin sixth overall in 2006.
"I was really impressed with him," said Broncos Coach/GM Mark Lamb. "The size is one thing and then you put the package together. He's an excellent skater, he's got great hands, he's got unbelievable stats and he plays with an edge. It's the identity that we're building... he fits right in."
Gawdin is listed at 6'0 and 172lbs with a lot of room to grow as Lamb noted both Gawdin's brother and father are 6'4. With that kind of size and a penchant for playmaking, it's not surprising that the newest Bronco compares himself to a Shark.
"I like to say Joe Thornton," Gawdin said. "He's a bigger guy kinda like me, he's a pass first guy as well, I just like the way he plays and I try to play like him."
For Bronco fans the prospect of drafting a BC born forward in the first round brings with it a certain amount of skepticism. The decision by 2008 first round pick Evan Richardson to pass on the WHL and committ to NCAA hockey left some fans nervous about adding any players from the west coast. Playing in the prairies doesn't seem to be an issue for Gawdin.
"I've kind of always wanted to and my dad has too," Gawdin said. "He kind of said it will toughen me up. It will definately be a new experience and I'm looking forward to it."
As for playing in the WHL itself, Gawdin believes the league suites his style and he has always dreamed about playing at the major junior level.
The success or failure of the pick and this draft class wont' be determined for several years now. Gawdin is only eligible to join the Broncos full time for the 2013-2014 season. Fans will likely get their first look at him during training camp at the send of the summer.

In addition to ancient bell chimes and an enormous city lake, Wuhan is home to one of the world's most beautiful compositions
Sandalwood-scented smoke drifts lazily from an incense burner as an elderly gentleman slowly places his fingers on the strings of the zither in front of him. With his other hand, he starts to pluck the instrument.
The sounds of the traditional Chinese traditional guqin hover in the air, bringing to mind mountain peaks embraced by cloud and the magnificent flowing rivers of China.
"'High Mountain, Flowing Water" or "Gao Shan Liu Shui", is one of China's best-known musical works. It was composed in Wuhan by Yu Bo Ya during the Spring and Autumn Period (770BC-476BC),' the instructor at Heptachord Terrace, or Guqin Tai, tells us as the final notes die away.
The instructor continues his story. "On his way back from an official visit to the Chu State, Yu Bo Ya rested and played his guqin. A man named Zhong Ziqi stopped and listened. When Bo Ya changed his tune to eulogise the high mountains, Ziqi exclaimed, 'The melody is as magnificent as Mount Tai reaching to the sky!'. When Bo Ya played a piece of music depicting the turbulent waves, Ziqi said, 'The melody is as mighty as the great rivers!'
"Bo Ya was excited to find someone who could understand his music and the two became close friends. When the time came for Bo Ya to return home, they arranged to meet the following year. But when Bo Ya arrived at the meeting point there was no sign of Ziqi. Later Bo Ya found out that Ziqi had fallen ill and passed away. He went to Ziqi's tomb and played 'High Mountain Flowing Water' again. Bo Ya was overwhelmed by the power of his music and his loss. Believing that nobody would understand his music like Ziqi, his smashed his instrument and never played it again.
Guqin Tai was built in honour of the friendship between Yu Bo Ya and Zhong Ziqi during the Song Dynasty and restored during the early years of the Qing Dynasty.
The legend of Bo Ya is one of the many stories Wuhan has to tell. With more than 3,500 years of history, the capital of Hubei province in central China, is a cradle of Chinese culture and history.
Also known as Jiang Cheng, meaning the city of rivers, Wuhan sits at the intersection of the middle reaches of the Yangtze and Han rivers. It is also often dubbed the city of a hundred lakes because water covers one fourth of the city's total area.
East Lake or Dong Hu, at 80 square kilometres, the largest lake within a city in China, feels rather like a sea and a cruise complete with hot tea and snacks is a welcome relief on a chilly day.
From the boat, we head to Moshan Hill on the lake's south-eastern bank. With fragments of the old Chu Castle on the shore, the hill is a landmark of Chu culture and the design of the imposing Chutian Tower is based on the palatial Chu resort of Zhang Hua Tai, a symbol of power and prosperity. An altar where the Chu king worshiped heaven is also there.
The best place to learn more about Chu culture is Hubei Provincial Museum. It has a collection of over 200,000 ancient cultural relics.
The bronze chime-bells set or Bianzhong excavated in 1978 from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng is one of the finest artefacts from the Warring States Period. It is the largest bronze musical instrument ever discovered. Hung in a wooden frame, the 65 gold-inlaid, bronze bells cover five octaves and range in size from 20 centimetres to 1.50 metres. According to an inscription on the central bell, it was a gift from King Hui of Chu and was cast in 433 BC. A set of bells of different sizes that can play various tones of the musical scale demonstrates that Chu knowledge of metallurgy and music was extremely high.
"A replica of the chime-bells is kept in the Chime Bells Exhibition Hall, where musicians wearing ancient clothes play Bianzhong so we can listen to the closest imitation of the sound of the ancient instrument," our guide says.
The beautiful music from the bells lingers even as we move to Guiyuan Temple, one of the four biggest Buddhist temples in Hubei Province. Built by the monk Bai Guang in 1658, the monastery houses a beautiful Tang Dynasty tablet depicting the goddess Guanyin holding a willow branch.
The most famous structure is the Arhat Hall where 500 golden arhat sculptures, identical in size but different in appearance and expression, are seated.
"If you want to know your future, choose the arhat that you like most and start counting from the next arhat, stopping when you reach your age. The expression of the arhat will foretell your future," the guide explains.
No trip to Wuhan is complete without a stop at the Yellow Crane Tower. Originally built in AD 223, during the Three Kingdoms Period as a Wu Kingdom military tower, so many popular poems were written in praise of it during the Tang Dynasty that it became famous nationwide. The tower has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. The present tower got its design from the Qing Dynasty and is located one kilometre from its original site. With yellow upturned eaves, each floor looks like a yellow crane spreading its wings to fly.
From the top of the tower, looking down at the Yangtze river flowing through Wuhan's history, I fancy I can hear Bo Ya playing his last song to his bosom friend.

Wrong: He was born in January, 1990.
Why: There's a comma between the month and the year.
Right: He was born in January 1990.
Why: While month/day/year combinations do take a comma before the year, as soon as you remove the day from the equation, the comma drops away. A unit consisting only of a month and a year needs no comma to divide the elements, perhaps because there aren't two numbers side by side, which can invite confusion.

I70 Canyon
Oil On Canvas
The traffic sped on. A ball of flame billowed into the air on the passenger side, just enough time to watch sparks and burning matter crackle then disappear into haze. This was a threatening environment, bleak, anarchic, violent, and yet simultaneously awesome; it possessed an irresistible and alien aesthetic.

One for day, for all February.
This is my personal challenge, started days ago. I'm excited to stretching my abilities, my fantasy and my skills for this event, published on my blog.
I desire to share with You the best of my earrings, one couple that I truly love.
Patterns, Charms, Beads: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Coccoementa
Lovely, Moni! You get "extra points" for using mixed media.
I think it is wonderful that you are challenging yourself this way--and sharing it with us. I will try to check your progress on your blog, but do keep up updated here. I look forward to seeing what you make for your very own earring challenge.
Beautiful! I love how feminine and delicate they are. Nice work!
www.ChrysinaBeads.com & ArtFire Store
Very pretty - lovely choice of colour and glowing beads.
Paka: Lovely, Moni! You get "extra points" for using mixed media.
I want my little bear! How much points to have? :-D
Paka:I think it is wonderful that you are challenging yourself this way--and sharing it with us.
Thank You. You've encouraged me, so I post all my pics of my personal challenge. I've discovered that also if I have a big increase on the visit on my blog, no one sign to follow, so I suppose this is not the right strategy. Maybe if I post tutorial... But my english is so poor that I feel too embarassed.
Thanks Algiramenez, Chrysina and Christina66. Ora I stop my bla-bla for my pics. :-)
Day 01.
Day 02, the same earrings of day 01, and I feel my starting is not so good.
Day 03, oooh finally I feel I'm on the right way. They are simple, but beautiful. I love the detail fo the blue little ring that match the colour of the glass beads!
Day 04, I stop mentally judging myself and starting to have fun. Yet this earrings are not so well done, the fringe covered the hematite hearth, and are not so uniform, but I like anyways.
Day 05.
This pair is a despair to make. The base is square-stitched, with embellishment of little glass flower.
Day 06. Emily Hackbart is my personal mith. She has designed this earring long ago, when She owned the beadwork section on About.com.
OOkay, Day 07. You already know, the type with white little knot.
So, a preview! This is day 08. Earrings inspired by this project:
You are doing a lovely job on all the earrings! I really like the day 5 earrings. I'm working on a
fairly large (for me anyway) square stitch project that I hope to share by the weekend. Looking
forward to seeing your next batch of earrings!
Around a year ago, I started thinking to a very big project on my loom, a large pattern designed to cover a window, by DMC. Then I started thinking the difficulties: can, my piece, don't sag with the time? It's very heavy, and I don't have experience on this type of work, I create, abitually, jewerly and purse. So, I started thinking instead of doing it in square stitch. But I never get satisfied wwith my try. Ever, ever, the strip of square stitch don't stay flat, but curve!
So, for the moment, my eye open dream have to wait.
And I make earrings like a crazy :-)
Voilà, day 09. Sun Bonnet, from a Bead & Button pattern.

Devil's Garden Campground
Posted by: christine on Sunday, June 28th, 2009 at 10:13 pmtagged arches national park, camping, devils garden campground, united states and Utah
WoW! So beautiful… little trees, blue sky, majestic rock formations and of course the very, very cute "scamp" and equally adorable camper. But for some reason - it also looks like the beginning scene of a horror movie that I can't put my finger on.

Among his books, the beautifully contained novellas Old Rosa and Arturo, the Brightest Star are chiseled jewels perfect on their own terms. His masterpieces, Before Night Falls and Singing From the Well (his first and most cohesive novel), are unassailable works that should survive. Singing is a novel of awesome lyrical purity, containing echoes of García Lorca (the women in the household are like the daughters of Bernarda Alba turned medusas) and of Juan Rulfo's ghostly Pedro Páramo. Its maturity is even more astonishing if one knows that Reinaldo wrote it when he was only 21. The novel's limpid lyricism, infused with the spirit of Hardy's and Lawrence's pantheistic views of nature, is almost sacramental in its respect for the overpowering forces of the natural world.
He was a considerable poet, too. Poetry, as in Borges's case, was his greatest love, and arguably his highest gift. His epic poem, El Central, records and re-creates the atrocities committed against the Cuban people through the agesand does it more succinctly and more gracefully than the novels do. At least a dozen of his poems will one day take their place among the most beautiful written in Spanish. Many writers have laid a claim to immortality with fewerand less originalworks.
Reinaldo's most valuable legacy as a man is his bravery in denouncing the crimes committed in the name of social justice. His point was that the brutalities committed by the left sting even more than those committed by the right. We expect the worst from the Pinochets of this world, but we expect nothing less than utopia from an ideology that promises us the dawn of the New Man. This betrayal of the Cuban revolution fueled the rage that galvanized the life and the work of Reinaldo Arenas, and it is ultimately responsible for making him one of the most searing satirical writers of the 20th century, a worthy successor to Aristophanes and Swift.
Plus: Ed Morales goes behind the scenes of Julian Schnabels new biopic of Reinaldo Arenas.

Tips for Decorating Studio Apartments
Whether you're just starting out in your first place or are wrestling with the economics of moving to a large city, studio apartment living can present some unique challenges. Studios typically have limited storage, and inhabiting a space that's a living room and bedroom in one -- plus sometimes an office and dining room -- can be exasperating if you don't have a strategy.
These 10 tips will help you decorate, streamline and add function to your studio apartment. Downsized living spaces are becoming more and more popular, and if you embrace the challenge as an opportunity to live a simpler, greener and more organized life, you may pick up a few Earth- and wallet-friendly habits.

Vatican newspaper pays tribute to Thomism's 'Roman school' in article by Gaudium et Spes critic
Catholic World News - March 25, 2010
The March 25 edition of L'Osservatore Romano includes an article by Msgr. Brunero Gherardini paying tribute to the Roman school of Thomism that flourished in the wake of Aeterni Patris, Pope Leo XIII's 1879 encyclical on Christian philosophy.
Msgr. Gherardini states that like the German theologian Father Matthias-Joseph Scheeben (1835-88), the members of the Roman school were not "barren repeaters" of St. Thomas, but rather used the teaching of the Angelic Doctor to confront the intellectual challenges of the day, including "influences of German thought" and the "modernist danger." Among the leading figures of the Roman school to whom Msgr. Gherardini pays tribute are Father Riccardo Tabarelli (1851-1909), Msgr. Antonio Piolanti (1911-2001), Cardinal Pietro Parente (1891-1986), and above all Father Cornelio Fabro (1911-95).
Now in his mid-80s, Msgr. Gherardini has served as a canon of St. Peter's Basilica, undersecretary of the Pontifical Academy of Theology, professor emeritus at the Pontifical Lateran University, and postulator of the canonization cause of Blessed Pope Pius IX. Last year, he published Vatican Council II: An Open Discussion, in which he wrote:
Should somebody ask me whether modernism was ultimately let into the very fabric of the Council's documents to the point that the Fathers themselves were infected by it, my answer would be yes and no.
No, because the supernatural spirit is not at all absent from the Council thanks to its open profession of the Faith in the Trinity, the Incarnation, the universal redemption of the Word, along with its deep conviction about the universal calling to sanctity, its acceptance [of] and faith in the sanctifying effect of the sacraments, its particularly high regard for the liturgical and Eucharistic worship, the sanctifying role of the Church and a theologically nourished devotion to Mary.
My answer is also yes, because modernistic ideas still can be found in several Council documents, notably in Gaudium et Spes, and a few prominent Council Fathers were openly sympathetic to old and new modernitsts.

Vespa 946
Vespa is to make a full production version of the 46 concept bike seen at bike shows in 2012.
Called the 946, the high tech, beautifully styled scooter will be powered by Piaggio's latest three valve 125cc engine and feature ABS, traction control and lightweight aluminium body panels.
Full details with lots more pics here at ashonbikes.com on November 13.
Other News
Gorgeous, with the possible exception of the circular silver thing beneath the seat which looks like it might have been boosted off some young lad's Max Power-ed Vauxhall Nova-
Echoes of the Tatra T87 (that's another c*r, sorry) about the rear haunches? Cf. also the shape of the new Guzzi's panniers/ comparable air of retro futurism.
No storage space at all by the looks of it (I'll burst into tears and/ or self-immolate if I ever see some cruddy old top box with great big gormless reflectors tacked onto one of these).
Bet that exhaust is still mild steel, though. Sob.
Tatra T87, for those who dare to gaze upon a motorised carriage:
Both are rear engined too...
This is another machine that looks even better in the metal than in the photos. I think it is quite stunning and I would certainly love to take a test ride when they arrive here and they let us out to play after the winter!
shame its £7500
how much ???? If that is indeed the case then they surely must have shot themselves in the foot. It is a great looking little machine but a 125 scooter for the price a small car is rather hard to justify on appearance.
Only 50 coming to these shores (so they say) and most were already spoken for when I enquired last November. Doesn't look outrageously dear when you consider the bespoke styling, quality, tech, exclusivity. And it's for the cognoscenti anyway, many of whom have deeper than average pockets - e.g. Weller, Sir Brad of Wiggington, that bloke out of Oasis.
Is it to be a limited production run globally, or just limited import to the UK?
No clue. The (lovely) Piaggio ladies at the UK show declined to say whether or not the 50 would eventually turn out to be - more than 50. I've just managed to add 51 of 'em to my shopping cart here, so I'm a little bit suspicious. Being as it is the solemnly sworn mission of this website to expose tacky manufacturer marketing gimmicks where'er they be lurking, I need to try and Checkout Now (cart total: £367,200). Anyone know the number of Kevin's expenses account at Coutts & Co?
I was told limited edition of 46.
I was also told that a lot of the styling cues and features could find themselves onto other models , but as shuggiemac says they have shot themselves in the foot really pricing it that way . how many orders could they have had it been reasonably priced .
and whats with traction control on a 125 scooter.take that off the price and you might have a really nice stylish usable scooter at the right price.
It is rather hard to gauge globally how many are going to be made but it does seem that it will be limited to a certain extent. Lots of countries are reporting it so I guess at least a few thousand will be made. Would be really hellish expensive if it were any less. In any case if it is restricted and it is just destined to be a showcase and a launch pad for technologies to be rolled out on subsequent models then fair enough I suppose. In that light the 946 is specifically not meant to be affordable day to day transport. It is damn nice looking though.
Even I don't know that number...
It's all a bit vague as to how many, when and so on at the moment, though I suspect in some places, especially Italy, they'll be able to sell plenty of them at that price. In fact we probably have to put up with the very high price in the UK because that's what it'll be selling for in Italy, they're simply not allowed to sell it for less elsewhere in the EU.
"Gorgeous, with the possible exception of the circular silver thing beneath the seat"
... that and the seat shape are actually my two favored design aspects! :-D
Will you get Suzy to go pillion again Kev, or has she now gone all F1 on you? ;-D

How about HP? |
Looking at a chart in the book of capacities of Hunt-Francis turbines with the 7,560 cu.ft. water a minute we find that we could get 74.41-hp with a 36-in wheel and 12-ft head – requiring 3,992 cu.ft. min ..
but .. the casing that the turbine sits in is approximately three times the dia of the turbine wheel (or .. maybe not. See the bit later on the exterior mounted turbine). For a 36-in wheel that means a casing 9-ft in dia. .. and that for a horizontal mounted turbine .. it would be 4-1/2 feet from the shaft to the floor. That would mean that instead of 12-ft of head we would have 12-4.5 or 7.5 ft. of head. That would reduce our hp to around 37-hp. What if we used a 24-in wheel? That would require a 6-ft dia casing or 3-ft from shaft to floor and leave us with a 9-ft head – and give us 22.24-hp. Thing is .. the pump-house is already made. I have about 8-ft height in the lower section to put the turbine wheel and generator etc. inside. That would seem to restrict me to the smaller wheel and 22+ hp. |
I couldn't find my model putty so I grabbed some automotive spot putty. Works just as well far as I have ever noticed.
Still have to add the radius at the bottom. |

First Nations of CanadaEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Native Americans, or American Indians in Canada are generally referred to as Aboriginal peoples, which include the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis (mixed blood).
Provinces and Territories
For additional information about the First Nations in each of the Provinces and Territories, see the links below:
- 1850 First of a series of treaties between Indians and the Crown.
- 1860 The Crown Lands Department took over responsibility for Indian Affairs from the Imperial Government.
- 1867 Indian Affairs became the responsibility of the Secretary of State
- 1873 Indian Affairs became a branch of the Department of the Interior
- 1876 The Indian Act was passed. Provided the foundation for the administration of Indian affairs in Canada. Parliament had authority with respect to Indians and their lands.
- 1880 A separate Department of Indian Affairs was established

Land Records
A Lands and Membership Branch of the Indian Affairs department identifies, protects and records the interest in the lands to which Indian people are entitled.

2. JOHN COLTRANE: One Down, One Up: Live at the Half Note (Impulse) The Coltrane Quartet at its most ferocious, especially on the blistering title track.
3. PAUL MOTIAN/JOE LOVANO/BILL FRISELL: I Have the Room Above Her (ECM) Motian's apparently simple compositions are fodder for exquisite chamber interplay, and his drumming suggests the crawl of lengthening shadows.
4. VIJAY IYER: Reimagining (Savoy) Pianism is one reason to pay heed to this quartet outing, Iyer's strongest yet. Another is his rhythm concept beguiling, befuddling, and legitimately new.
5. ROSCOE MITCHELL QUINTET: Turn (RogueArt) Gripping inside-out miniatures from an AACM elder, with a heavy next-generation crew.
6. CUONG VU: It's Mostly Residual (Artist Share) As trumpeter and composer, Vu favors darkness and warmthwhich explains why this album provides such a hospitable setting for Bill Frisell.
7. PAT METHENY GROUP: The Way Up (Nonesuch) Metheny's billowing suite overcomes pretense with high musicianship and thematic coherence.
8. BEBO VALDÉS: Bebo de Cuba (Calle 54) The octogenarian Cuban expat continues a hot streak, abetted this time by New York's Latin-jazz elite.
9. BRAD MEHLDAU: Day Is Done (Nonesuch) Kicked into high gear by new drummer Jeff Ballard, the Mehldau trio renews its immediacy and focus.
10. ROBERT GLASPER: Canvas (Blue Note) Bright and buoyant reveries from this year's big arrival, whose trio shows serious promise.
