"Neither Cold nor Hot"
Michael Okyere Asante
3/06/2010 / Christian Living
"To the angel of the church of Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm–neither hot nor cold–I am about to spit you out of my mouth". (Rev. 3:14-16)
God always knows the spiritual condition in which we are. He says, "I know your deeds …" (Rev. 3:15)--there is no hiding or pretending before God. And it has always been God's will that we follow a particular course in our lives, but that decision is left in our hands.
From Old Testament times God has always presented two options to His people, outlining the consequences of the choice they make (Deut. 28). It is either one is on the Lord's side or on the devil's side (cf. Ex. 32:26; Jsh. 24:15); there is no middle path.
The same applies in the New Testament (Mt. 6:24; Lk. 14:26; Lk. 9:62; Rev. 3:15) where following Jesus Christ requires that we "… love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength …" (Mk. 12:30 KJV); and where we can only serve one master (Mt. 6:24). And so when God realized the lukewarm state of the Laodicean church, He quickly admonished them to make up their minds—to be either cold or hot.
Specifically, God used the expression "neither cold nor hot" to describe the spiritual condition of the church in Laodicea. But more importantly, the expression also described the spiritual condition of the believers within the church since it was by their lifestyle, behaviour and worship that the church had graduated into lukewarmness.
Hence, if the church was described as "neither cold nor hot", it meant that the believers within the church were "neither cold nor hot". It is, therefore, important for us as individual Christians to draw lessons for ourselves from this church, and from other biblical characters. Nonetheless, the issues discussed here would be useful to the church as a whole.
The Lukewarm Condition
Yaw Frimpong-Manso describes the lukewarm condition as "a sickly state that winks at sin while accommodating righteousness. It neither rebukes sin nor does it uphold truth. It is marked by a divided allegiance or wavering faith … It is crying 'Lord, Lord' but refusing to do the things which He commands (Mt. 7:21)."1 This suggests a life of indecision, compromise, idleness, indifference, and self-satisfaction towards righteous living.
Truly, Christians who are 'neither cold nor hot' (lukewarm) are not totally with the Lord and not totally with the world and its pleasures. In other words, their hearts are not 'so close' to the Lord neither are they 'so close' to the world. They do not give all their heart to the LORD (Jer. 29:13). They are characterized by a divided allegiance and superficiality (Jer. 3:10, Mt. 6:24); this division in allegiance would not help them live for Christ. And so it is difficult for the lukewarm Christian to confess wholeheartedly, "I love you Lord".
A Christian in this (lukewarm) condition lives a life of two tastes--a double life--but this kind of life is never fulfilling. Devoting self to either of them would have been fulfilling--one fulfilling to the soul, leading to eternal life, and the other, fulfilling to the flesh, leading to eternal damnation. This is why God warned the Laodicean church, "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!" (Rev. 3:15) God told them, "So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth." (Rev. 3:16)
This shows that lukewarm Christians cannot remain in their state forever; either they will revert to hotness as a result of repentance, or they will backslide, whereupon they would have lost fellowship with the Father. Until such time that he or she repents, fellowship cannot be restored, for sin blocks the passage of communication between God and the believer.
God has said in His word, "You cannot serve both God and Money." (Mt. 6:24). This truth is seen in the action He was going to take if the Laodicean church failed to depart from lukewarm Christian living: "So because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth." (Rev. 3:16) You cannot live a double life and have a fulfilling spiritual life--serve God and reap eternal glory, or serve the world and the devil and reap eternal death!

On his way to a meeting with a publisher, aspiring novelist Sam Wexler (Radnor) finds Rasheen, a young boy separated from his family on the subway. When the quiet Rasheen refuses to be left alone with social services, Sam learns the boy has already been placed in six previous foster homes and impulsively agrees to let the boy stay with him for a couple days. Dropped into Sam's chaotic, bachelor lifestyle, Rasheen is introduced to Sam's circle of friends; Annie (Malin Akerman) who has an unhealthy pattern of dating the wrong men, as well as an auto-immune disorder which has rendered her hairless, Mary-Catherine (Zoe Kazan) and Charlie (Pablo Schreiber) whose potential move to Los Angeles threatens their relationship, and Mississippi (Kate Mara), an aspiring singer/waitress who tests Sam's fear of commitment. When Sam's unexpected friendship with Rasheen develops, he realizes adulthood is not about waiting for the right answers to get the life you want, but simply stumbling ahead and figuring them out in the process.

Wear a helmet belaying on this route. There is a rotten section which also happens to be the hardest section. Pop rocks indeed. Fun route though. |

By Paul Davidson Apr 28, 2011 |
I don't recall anything loose, 4/2011. I did think one of the clips (~the 4th, the one right above climbers head in pic by Christian) should be moved to the right so it's in line with the other bolts. As it is, the stemming moves over the bolt are an almost assured right leg catcher/flip over if you pop. Otherwise, fun route with a nice section of cruxy climbing. |

Pelham Bay (neighborhood), Bronx
This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2008) |
Pelham Bay is a middle class residential neighborhood in the borough of the Bronx, in New York City. It is named for Pelham Bay Park, New York City's largest park, which lies on the neighborhood's northeastern border; and for Pelham Bay, a body of water in that park.
Most of the neighborhood is land that was purchased by Thomas Pell in 1654, part of an original grant to the Dutch West India Company.
Despite the name, the area that is now the Pelham Bay neighborhood was not part of the historical Town of Pelham, which consisted of the modern-day town of Pelham in Westchester County as well as Pelham Bay Park and City Island in the Bronx. The latter two areas were annexed by the City of New York in 1895.
Pelham Bay's boundaries, starting from the north and moving clockwise, are as follows:
- Pelham Parkway to the north
- Bruckner Expressway to the east and south
- Hutchinson River Parkway to the west
Pelham Bay includes the residential enclave of Country Club, which occupies the portion of the neighborhood east of Interstate 95 (I-95). The core of Pelham Bay is the portion west of I-95 and north of Middletown Road.
Community profile[edit]
Pelham Bay is part of Bronx Community Board 10, which also covers Throgs Neck and Co-op City.[1] Pelham Bay is home to a large Italian and Hispanic population. Alongside Riverdale and Country Club, Pelham Bay is one of the top and safest neighborhoods in the Bronx. It was ranked as the best neighborhood for kids in the Bronx and top 10 neighborhood in the whole New York City.[2]
A variety of stores and eateries line the streets of this neighborhood, including Westchester Avenue, Buhre Avenue, Middletown Road, and Crosby Avenue (these two cross to form one of the main intersections of the neighborhood). Pelham Bay Park is the last stop on the IRT Pelham Line (6 <6> trains) of the New York City Subway system. The line has two other stops as well in the neighborhood, the Buhre Avenue and Middletown Road stops on the Pelham Line. The IRT Pelham Line was immortalized in the movie The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, starring Walter Matthau, which involved the hijacking of a subway train leaving Pelham Bay Park Station at the scheduled time of 1:23.
The neighborhood is home to the elementary schools Public School 71 (named the Rose E. Scala School to honor a former principal) and Public School 14 (named the John D. Calandra School to honor a former State Senator), as well as to Herbert H. Lehman High School (right on the neighborhood's border). Several private and parochial schools also serve the neighborhood, including the Roman Catholic elementary schools associated with the churches of Our Lady of the Assumption and St. Theresa. The neighborhood is home to a number of active civic and community associations, including the Pelham Bay Little League.
Arnow Place, a small street between Westchester Avenue and the New England Thruway (I-95) in Pelham Bay, was the site of the December 2005 shooting death of off-duty police officer, Daniel Enchautegui. Actor Lillo Brancato and an accomplice were charged with murder in the case. In 2006, the street was renamed Daniel Enchautegui Way, in honor of the fallen police officer.[3]
The neighborhood is home to longstanding Italian, Irish, Greek and German populations with a recent influx of Hispanics changing the neighborhoods demographics considerably.
Pelham Bay has a population of around 14,594 people. It is a white majority neighborhood with around 60-65% of the population of Pelham Bay being non-Hispanic white, while around 30% are of Hispanic ancestry and a small Asian and black population.[4]
Buses and subway lines serving the community are:
- Bx5: to Simpson Street station (2 5 trains) (via Crosby Avenue / Bruckner Boulevard / Story Avenue)
- Bx8: to Williamsbridge or Locust Point (via Westchester Avenue / Williamsbridge Road)
- Bx12: to University Heights
- Bx12 Select Bus Service: to Bay Plaza Shopping Center or Inwood – 207th Street station (A train) (via Fordham Road – Pelham Parkway)
- Bx23: to Co-op City
- Bx24: to Country Club
- Bx29: to City Island or Bay Plaza Shopping Center (via City Island Avenue)
- Q50: to Co-op City or Flushing – Main Street station (7 <7> trains) (via Bronx–Whitestone Bridge)
- Bee-Line 45: to Eastchester
- Middletown Road station (6 <6> trains)
- Buhre Avenue station (6 <6> trains)
- Pelham Bay Park station (6 <6> trains)

Glacier Bay Thar she blows! Our expedition leader
Mike Messick promised that if whales were sighted he'd sound the alarm
and wake us from our slumber. And that he did. At 5:30 a.m. the Clipper
Odyssey was surrounded by humpback whales. It was the beginning of
what would be an incredible day. We learned from our many experts the
various terms that describe whale behavior -- flipper flapping, tail lobbing,
spy-hopping, sounding, lunge-feeding and the grandest of them all, breaching.
It was hard to imagine how a 40-ton whale could possibly propel itself
clear out of the water, but it did. Not many caught it on camera as it
came as such a surprise. But many witnessed the exciting event that left
a huge splash. We spent an hour and a half in the presence of these gentle
giants, so close you could hear them breathing. Point Adolphus was touted
as a hot spot for whales, but even that did not prepare us for the wonderful
viewing we had that morning. Amazing that we would actually thank Mike
for waking up us so early, but we did, heartily. At 8:00 a.m. the National Park
Service patrol boat, the Serac, came along side and
seven new passengers joined us for the day. We quickly met
the distinguished guests who would present a panel
discussion later that day. But our time for introductions
was cut short when we sighted puffins ahead. Park Ranger
Rosemarie Salazar invited us out on deck for a look at South
Marble Island. This small dot on the map is one of Glacier
Bay's many bird sanctuaries, and this was our first look at
puffins - bright colorful birds that look like the invention
of a child's imagination. Exceeding our expectations were
200 plus Steller sealions clustered in a bachelor colony
alive with action, posturing, and smell. We were close
enough to have an excellent view (and whiff). Then it was onto the glaciers.
The morning had begun a bit dim and gray, but by lunchtime
the skies cleared as we arrived at the Margerie Glacier, our
first close up view of a tidewater glacier (under blue sky
no less). Hats and gloves came off, sunglasses and brimmed
hats went on, and gaiety filled the decks. We tried to watch
for icefalls and listen for the sound of "white thunder" but
a huge golden brown bear walked next to the glacier and
stole our attention. Everyone had a good long look, even
without binoculars. The hump between its shoulder blades and
the dished face (and its bulk) told us that we had left the
black bears behind and we were now in the company of a brown
bear. Just like E.H. Harriman, over 100 years before us,
finding a brown bear was much anticipated. But unlike then,
we would capture the bear only on film. We traveled into
Johns Hopkins Inlet to view the glacier of the same name,
then passed by Lamplugh Glacier on our route south, back
down the bay to Bartlett Cove and Icy Strait. The jumbled
ice, bare bedrock, and emerald waters at the
terminus of Margerie Glacier. (Photo by National
Ocean Service, NOAA). That afternoon our guest
panelists discussed the many serious issues facing Glacier
Bay National Park & Preserve: commercial fishing, Native
rights, vessel management, tourism, and wilderness
preservation. We dropped off our guests at
7:00 p.m., enjoyed yet another excellent dinner, and that
evening heard from a panel of experts on subsistence in
Alaska, a seemingly intractable issue that could change the
state constitution. As we bedded down for the night, the
Clipper Odyssey passed Port Althorp, where George
Vancouver anchored in 1794. We turned past Cape Spencer,
entered the Gulf of Alaska on flat calm seas, and left
behind the Inside Passage on our journey north. (View

What's the Best Engine?
Engine stuff you need to know
Best engine -- the A12?
There is no "best" engine, unless popularity counts for anything. Millions were produced with the A12 engine, making it the most successful. Plus, the 1971-1973 A12 simply fits into the 1200 engine compartment by design of Nissan factory experts.
A special hi-po version of the A12 is the A12GX Engine. These came in Japanese-built GX 1200s.
Should I build up my A12, or just get a bigger engine?
Building up your A12 can be quite fun and very educational. However, it will generally be more expensive than getting a larger engine. You could easily spend $2500-$4000 USD building up the A12. Also it will generally mean time that the car is not driveable, while an A14 engine swap can be done in a weekend.
On the other hand, if you find used parts, you could keep the cost down. Even adding a turbo is inexpensive if you do all the work yourself. Paying to have a shop do it usually costs around $2500-$4500 USD.
So what kind of performance increase can you expect? For $2500, you could drop from the stock 20-sec 1/4 time down to 17 seconds. That will make the car feel twice as fast. See discussion.
A-series Nissan Engines
Similar engines in the Nissan A-type series are the 1974-and-up A12, A13, A14, A15 and A12A. All fit in the 1200 with only minor changes. These are by far the most popular swapping candidates, since they just about slide right in. Other pluses of the A-series are: light weight, smooth running, and availability of racing parts. These are all excellent engines, but the bigger displacement of the A14 and A15 means more power/torque than the A12, A13 or A12A.
The A12A uses the "short block" casting as the A12 and same stroke as the A12, but uses 75mm bore instead of 73mm. NOTE: bore of the A14 and A15 is 76mm. reference: Nissan Competition catalog. The A12A is not to be confused with the Japan/Australia A12 from 1974 up. The "A12A" is the official designation used by Nissan USA for the 1980-1982 1237cc engine.
A12A comparison data
12200-H1000 71-73 A12 (superceded by H8500)
12200-H5001 A12 -7909 (replacement but different)piston w/pin
12010-H8661 A13 std 8011-
12010-H9022 all Canada A12A, USA 0879-0780
12010-H9512 USA A12A 0880-Rod
1974-up engines have the motor mount bosses in a different place compared to the 1971-1973 A12 engines. So the engine mounts are a bit different. This photos illustrates the difference:
Stock left-side mount in Datsun 1200, but Newer A12 engine. A better way is to move the brackets on the engine, to get the engine lower. You could also 1) use the 1974-up ute crossmember or 2) modify the crossmember.
A14/A15 Installation
See main article: A-series Engine Swaps
What's Better? A14 or A15?
It depends on what you mean by 'better':
- A14 often have better availability, meaning you can find one at an inexpensive price.
- A15 has 7% more capacity than the A14, meaning an automatic power increase in low and mid-range RPMs, all else being equal
- A14 and A15 stock bottom ends can both rev to 8,500 rpm so there's no advantage there. With modified short blocks, both can rev to 10,000 rpm
- Since both use the same cylinder head, there is little top-end power advantage with either engine (both will put out the same top-end power, but the A15 has additional power at lower speeds)
Remember: "There is no replacement for displacement" (aka "theres no substitute for cubic inches").
But isn't the A15 stroke to long to rev high?
If you drive an A15-powered car, you will see the tachometer rev up. No worries.
A long stroke determines fast wear occurs at a given RPM. But with even longer stroke Chevrolet smallblock V8s running at 10,000 rpm, the A15 stroke looks small by comparison. A15s could rev even higher, but just like the A14 would need special valve train modifications and a scavenging oil pump with dry sump to make it worthwhile.
Since A14s and A15s run the same cylinder head and valve train, maximum horsepower is for all practical purposes equal. All things being equal, with both the A14 and A15 using the same well-prepared and flowed cylinder head, they'll make the same top-end power.
Rod length-to-stroke ratio
A long rod-length-to-stroke ratios is more efficient. To get this, you need longer rods to match a longer stroke. However, A14 and A15 use the same length rod. From previous discussion, an optimal rod-to-stroke ratio is good for about 1% power. The A14 doesn't have an optimal ratio but would need a longer rod itself. But either way the A15 is 7% larger displacement across the entire RPM range.
Other Nissan Engine Swaps
Sometimes you just want a bigger engine. After all, there's no replacement for displacement. Or maybe you come across an engine for free or very inexpensive price.
- Discussion: A Series? L Series? or CA?
Following are some popular swap choices:
L-series OHC fours
The Nissan L-series engine (as in the 1600/510) e.g. L16, L18, L20B.
NOTE: The L20B is taller though so not commonly used, but it will fit under the hood. Nissan put the L14 in the Japan-only PB110. A super-rare racing engine was the LZ20 twin-cam, fitted to 1200 racing cars.
Z-series engines
See Nissan Z Engine
Z18ET turbo, Z20, Z22. These crossflow-headed engines are based on the L-series. All install into a 1200 more or less the same way.
The nice thing about the Z18ET is its a factory setup, legal in most Australia states for a 1200. The downside is how available is it, including the wiring harness?
E-series OHC
E15, E15ET, or E16 OHC engines. These are plentiful in mid-80s Pulsars and Sentras, are similar to the A15 and have plenty of go-fast parts available.
See KA Engine Swap
A less popular swap is the KA24 engine, this is a big one! at 2.4 liters. In many countries, it is readily available and inexpensive coming out of Nissan pickups.
The main downside is that it is fairly heavy -- as heavy as an L-series engine (the KA24 is based on the L-series engines). One or two club members have swapped this into their 1200s with good success, reporting 14.0 second 1/4s with a stock motor. Reportedly, a stock KA24DE can handle a fair amount of turbocharger boost, but not as much and doesn't rev as high as the SR20DET or CA18DET. So it's a good engine for street use, but the others may be better for high-dollar supercar buildups.
See main article: CA-Series Engine Swaps
- CA18ET SOHC (not DOHC) turbo engine
- CA18DET. Many say this is the very best engine for a swap. Excellent engine. High power potential.
- The CA20 looks promising as it's a big 2.0 liter four similar to the A-series, but it has a poor reputation
- CA20ET from Nissan S12, same as the CA18ET but larger
The Nissan CG series of small-bore engines are excellent 16-valve all-alloy designs, lighter even than the A12 engine. There is a heap of performance parts for the CG series. This conversion has been done in NZ for a 1200 race car so it is possible. A 1.4 liter version is available.
For details, see CG engine.
L-series Six-Cylinder
Very rare is the Nissan inline-6 L20, L24, L26 and L28 engines, for example Ron Folck's L26-powered (260Z engine) 1200 race car
High-power Turbo Fours
The advantage of these engines are that they are fairly lightweight (being fours) and in stock form give more power than the A-series engines. But it does take considerable craftsmanship to fit one in including the intercooler.
How efficient are these engines?
This chart shows that the FJ, CA and SR Turbo engines are twice as efficient than most engines in the matter of power/weight ratio. I estimate a 300 hp CA18DET (282 pounds) would weigh just over half that of 300 hp GM V8 (500 pounds).
Of course, the easiest way to go fast is: less weight, more power. These turbo fours deliver.
See main article: CA-Series Engine Swaps
There is a lot of information in the main forum on all aspects of the CA18DET swap.
The SR20 can bolt-in without cutting the firewall, though it's easier with an originally automatic-equpped car (which has a bigger central tunnel).
See SR engine swap
The F20DET engine was basically a detuned race engine, a bit heavy but possibly Nissan's strongest ever engine. The stock engine can take massive boost and survive, while turning out incredible horsepower
See FJ engine swap
V6s and V8s?
Yes, V6s and V8s can be swapped into Datsun 1200s (and have been!), with increasing amounts of crafting and modification required. Your 1200 won't handle curvy roads too well with all that weight up front, but that's not the point of this, eh?
- Nissan VG30 V6 in Datsun 1200 engine bay
- The VG-series is also available as VG20, VG33, etc.
- GM 3800 (Buick 3.8 V6)

Challenge Engine Swaps
The following are not known to have been successfully completed.
More information on any of these subjects can be found in the Forums.
QR-Series Engine
See QR-Series Engine
- QR25DE 2.5 liter Nissan/Infiniti engine. Pluses: 13% lighter than SR20DE, 20% lighter than KA24DE. 30mm shorter than SR20, so possibly fitting the 1200 very well. It also has twin, counterrotating balance shafts so it should be a nice smooth engine. The drive-by-wire throttle body should make for easy swap (no throttle linkage to worry about).
Mazda B6 DOHC Head Swap
Mazda B6 DOHC head on A-engine. Head bolts on, but water and oil passages are different.
GA-Series Engine
The Nissan GA16 engine is similar to the A15, but distributor is in the back and RWD transmissions are avialable and Asia and Europe markets. The compelling part of this swap is 116 HP from variable cam timing. You could even carburete this engine and still use the VCT with an RPM-activated 12V relay.
See main article GA Engine Swap
HR16 Engine
HR16 replaced GA16, yet makes less HP.
HR16DE: 2009+ 112 HP GA16DE: 1992+ 115 HP with wikipedia:N-VCT QG18DE: 1999+ 114 HP (but with 130 lb ft torque vs 110 lb ft of GA16DE) QG18DD: 1999+ 114 HP, 128 ft lb torque 1999-2004 Nissan Sunny
AY12 Engine
Nissan Mystery Motor
A12Y engine
GB Engine
Suzuki G-series B engine is a lightweight, high-output, twin-cam four cylinder. For example, the G13B from GTI Swift is lighter than A15, but 109 HP compare to 80HP for an A15.

I'm in Australia. Are there limits to what engine size I can use?
In Australia, engine swaps are regulated by government guidelines. What's the largest size engine you can swap into a 1200? It varies by state, but most limit engine size according to the weight of the car. Commonly for the 1200, a 2.0 liter naturally aspirated engine, or a 1.8 liter turbo engine is allowed (hence the popularity of the CA18DET swap). An engineer must certify the installation per old-car Design Rules, so check before starting!.
If you must have a street-legal V8-powered 1200, it is possible but very expensive to certify according to new-car Design Rules. So search the forums for more details.

NOTE: Engine weights are measured different ways (with oil, without, etc), so take this with a grain of salt. Even more useful comparo would be the engine/trans combo weight. From this chart it may seem that a certain engine will only weigh a few kilos more, but add the weight of the matching transmission and it may be quite a lot more than the other engine/trans combo.
The total weight will be way up because of heavier transmission, diff, brakes, etc.

Resistance Is Futile: U.S. Cellular Embraces iPhone
filed in E-Business on May.07, 2013
A year and a half ago, Dillon said U.S. Cellular Corp. had the opportunity to carry the phone but rejected it because it was too expensive. The iPhone is more expensive than most smartphones, and phone companies absorb this cost to sell it for $199 or less.
Dillon says many of the customers leaving the Chicago-based company are doing so because it doesn't carry the iPhone. In the 18 months since she talked about rejecting the iPhone, the company has lost 268,000, or 5 percent, of its customers on contract-based plans, which are the most lucrative.
Apart from the wholesale cost of the individual phone, carriers face another obstacle: Apple requires them to commit to purchasing a minimum amount. In the case of U.S. Cellular, it has promised to buy $1.2 billion worth of iPhones over three years, according to a regulatory filing. That's roughly 2 million phones.
Investors appeared to be concerned about the cost of the phone, too. U.S. Cellular shares fell $1.08, or 2.8 percent, to $37.39 in afternoon trading. The company has its own stock listing, but is controlled by Telephone & Data Systems Inc., a phone company.
With U.S. Cellular's embrace of the iPhone, the six biggest cellphone companies in the U.S. will all be selling it. Many smaller ones do as well. The iPhone was sold exclusively by AT&T for three and a half years, and the subsequent broadening of the carrier base has been crucial in boosting Apple's sales. No. 4 T-Mobile USA was locked...

On-demand ultrahigh-Q cavity formation and photon pinning via dynamic waveguide tuning
Optics Express, Vol. 16, Issue 23, pp. 18657-18666 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1249 KB)
We show that ultrahigh-Q wavelength-sized cavities can be reconfigurably formed by local refractive index tuning of photonic-crystal mode-gap waveguides. We have found that Q can be extraordinarily high (~5×109), which is much higher than that of structure-modulated mode-gap cavities. Furthermore, the required index modulation is extremely small (Δn/n~10-3), which enables dynamic cavity formation by fast optical nonlinearity. We numerically show that traveling photons in a waveguide can be pinned by fast local index tuning.

Pierre Garcon, WR, Redskins
Position/Rank | ADP | NFL Team | Status | Experience | Age | Height | Weight | |
WR - #47 | 64.00 | WAS | Active | 8 years | 28 | 6'0 | 212 | @PierreGarcon |
2014 Outlook: Stud (low risk)
Last updated on Jul-04-2014 by Larry GoldPierre Garcon shook off an injury-riddled first year with the Redskins to post career-highs in targets, receptions, and yards in 2013. In fact, Garcon led the entire league with a staggering 182 targets; even more impressive, he had ten or more targets in each of the last ten games. While those stats are as much a product of RG3 having no other trustworthy weapons than anything else, it validates Garcon as one of the premier receivers in the league. Griffin is expected to spread the ball around more this year with the additions of DeSean Jackson, Andre Roberts and a healthy Jordan Reed, but Garcon will still be the most heavily targeted receiver in Jay Gruden's pass-happy offense. Garcon is currently the 12th WR being selected (32.60 ADP) and going approximately two rounds ahead of his new teammate Jackson. Expect fewer targets but greater efficiency this year as defenses will not be able to double-team Garcon.

Beautiful Farmhouse Sink This sink is definitely well-made and the price on Overstock is fantastic. The design came with another one on the reverse so I have that option as well. The sink is heavy, hand made fire-clay just like the $2000 sinks you see available. The advantage here is its a little bigger in size which is practical and a lot more reasonable. A win-win, thank you Overstock!

Questions & Answers
Hello shanachies, I hope your day is going well. This a kitchen sink, I apologize for the misinformation on the page. Thank you for shopping with us.
What kind of drain can be used (exactly what size) when NOT using a garbage disposal? Also, what are the measurements that should be used when buying a sink grid?
Hello shanachies, the inside of the sink is approximately 26 inches wide x 17 inches deep and the drain hole is approximately 3.5 inches in diameter. Have a great day!
Is the drain centered in the sink?
Thank you for contacting us 1daisygrl. Yes, the drain is centered. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
what is the length of the apron?
Thank you for contacting us,the dimensions are: 29 inches width x 19.5 inches depth x 10 inches height. Please let me know if you have any further question.
is this sink undermount or drop-in
This is an undermount open-front sink.
Who is the manufactor?
Unfortunately, we do not have the manufacturer''s information. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Is this sink reversible? Meaning you can install smooth apron front showing or design front showing?
The sink has to be installed the way it is shown. The design would appear in the front of the sink apron.
When the sink arrived I saw there was a different pattern on th reverse; I liked it better and my guys were able to install it reversed. The other side has short fluting at the top and a braid along the bottom.
Is this sink reversible? Meaning you can install either a smooth sidnest owing of the apron front or the design side showing option?
The sink has to be installed the way it is shown. The design would appear in the front of the sink apron.
Can this sink be used in kitchen? With a garbage disposal? What is the diameter of the drain? Thank you!
The drain is a standard drain, and you can install a garbage disposal with the sink, however, you would need to get an extended flange to accommodate this thicker sink.

'Darwin's tortoise' takes her secrets to the grave at the age of 176
By Mark Chipperfield in Sydney
(Filed: 24/06/2006)
Harriet, a 23st Galapagos tortoise, has died in a Queensland wildlife park at the age of 176, carrying to her grave the mystery of her origins.
John Hangar, a senior veterinarian at the Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast, said the reptile suffered a heart attack on Thursday.
"Harriet sadly died last night after, thankfully, a very short illness," he said. "She had a heart attack and passed away quietly overnight."
Harriet made it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest living animal but was more controversially credited with helping Charles Darwin to pioneer his theory of evolution.
"It's thought she may have been taken off Galapagos by Darwin," said Mr Hangar. "She spent a period of time in Britain and found herself at the Botanic Gardens in Brisbane from about 1850 or 1860 onwards."
Recent DNA testing has cast doubt over the widely believed story that Harriet was one of several tortoises removed from the South American islands during Darwin's voyage in 1835. The tortoise appears to belong to a sub-species of tortoise found on an island that the scientist never visited.
For his part, Steve Irwin, who owns Australia Zoo, was happy to let Harriet's background remain in dispute, claiming only that the giant tortoise was the world's oldest living chelonian. "She is possibly one of the oldest living creatures on the planet and her passing today is a great loss for the world," he said.
Harriet had been rivalled for age by an Aldabra tortoise in Calcutta that supposedly belonged to Clive of India and which died recently at the supposed age of 255.
I think that means 23 STONEs, which is 322 pounds.

"She is possibly one of the oldest living creatures on the planet and her passing today is a great loss for the world," he said.

facinating critters! Is there a "C.D." carved on the shell?
I wonder what tortoises think about things.
For that matter, I wonder what very, very old people think about things?
I remember seeing Eubie Blake play ragtime when he was almost 100 -- that was amazing.

Shobhit murder: Friends being questioned
New Delhi, May 7 Shobhit had gone out with his friends, including two girls on Thursday evening but was found injured with wounds and died on his way to hospital. "We have formed seven police teams to investigate the matter. We are questioning the victim's friends as he had a huge circle of friends. He was with five of his friends till 9 on Thursday night at the DLF Promenade mall," said a police officer. The victim was a second year information technology student at Manav Rachna University in Faridabad and an alumnus of Delhi Public School, R K Puram. While the police is silent over the issue, saying that it is investigating, a special staff of the Delhi police probing the case claimed that they are hopeful to nab the killers in a day or two. The investigative officer also said that the best friend of Shobhit, living
in the neighbourhood, was questioned. "He has given some leads and we are working on them. We can't disclose anything," said the officer. The police said that after analysing his call records, it was found that Shobhit had been in constant touch with at least four female students on the day he was murdered. He had four wounds, one on the chest, another in the abdomen and two in the back. Shobhit was found stumbling towards gate number three of C-5 Vasant Kunj around 9.50 pm on Thursday. When he slumped on the car barrier and did not move, a security guard initially thought the youth was drunk. "It was raining and there was no power there. Shobhit's i-phone rang and
the guard picked it," the official said. The guard informed the caller, a girl, about Shobhit lying at the gate, who then informed Shobhit's parents. Shobhit's father Suraj Modi rushed along with his elder son Rohit and took the bleeding youth to Fortis Hospital where he was declared brought dead. The police has found that Shobhit left his house at 4.30 pm in an Alto car with a driver. "They reached the DLF Promenade mall where he met his five friends, including the girl. Around 6.30 pm, he went home to collect his wallet and returned to the mall. He sent his driver away, saying he would call if he needed him," said the officer. The closed-circuit television footages from the mall showed him with a girl around 9 p.m. after which Shobhit called his mother to inform her that he was coming home in 20 minutes, the officer said. |
3 held for killing 87-yr-old man
New Delhi, May 7 According to the police, the accused have been identified as Rajesh Kumar Chaudhry (34), a driver at the house of victim Om Prakash for the past 10 years, his brother-in-law Mahesh Chaudhry (21) and a juvenile originally from Darbhanga in Bihar. "All of them were in need of money, particularly Rajesh, who was constructing his house in Faridabad and had asked for Rs 50, 000 as loan from the victim's family, but they had declined," said a police officer. The dismayed by the refusal, Rajesh decided to loot the house and kill Om Prakash if needed. As per plan, Rajesh, with the help of the juvenile servant entered the house and strangled Prakash before getting away with around Rs 3 lakh in cash, two laptops and jewellery. The victim was a retired government employee and a resident of East Patel Nagar in west Delhi. |
CM meets Sonia
New Delhi, May 7 Several Congressmen, who were recently appointed as aldermen to the MCD, also accompanied Dikshit to the meeting with Gandhi. Aggarwal said it was a courtesy call as the newly appointed aldermen had wanted to seek blessings of the party chief. Delhi Lt Governor Tejinder Khanna last month had appointed 10 persons, most of them are Congress workers, as aldermen to the MCD. An alderman is a member of a municipal assembly or council who is not elected by popular vote. The nomination is generally done at the beginning of the term of a corporation. The meeting comes at a time when the CM has been attacked by a section within the Congress for her proposal to split the MCD into five smaller bodies ahead of next year's municipal polls. Apparently, Aggarwal is opposed to the move as he feels dividing the MCD would badly affect the Congress in the municipal polls. |
More Kendriya Bhandars in govt colonies
New Delhi, May 7 The matter has been discussed with the minister of food and supplies and managing director of Kendriya Bhandar. l formalities for commissioning them would be completed at the earliest and this would go a long way in making available essential commodities at the doorsteps of the residents, she added. The meeting attended by office-bearers of various RWAs is the first of the sessions that the government has decided to hold with RWAs, traders' associations in New Delhi localities in a phased manner. Among the major demands of the RWAs were construction/strengthening of boundary walls of the colonies and installation of security gates. |
Barred from exams, Jamia students on hunger strike
New Delhi, May 7 These students claim that they have medical certificates to support their absence, but the director, Obaid Siddiqui, has discarded all the certificates, including those of the students with a history 6 to 12 years of illness, as fake. Saba Rehman a student sitting on hunger strike, said, "The biggest injustice is that all these students have secured the minimum required attendance of 60 per cent and have been refused the 15 per cent medical relaxation, which has been allowed by an ordinance of the university. Many of these students have history of serious medical problems, but our director refuses to consider this." Students say that after trying hard to convince the administration and filing applications and representations to the vice chancellor, the students had moved the court. "The students, after having tried everything possible internally, had moved the Delhi High Court. But the court dismissed their petitions on the basis of an earlier petition that it had dismissed. However, it did sympathise with the students as it could see the mess created by the university administration. In fact, Justice Kailash Gambhir advised the students to approach a higher court. But the students have lost all hopes and feel discriminated as the university seems to be having strict rules for some students while bending the rules for others," said Nabila Zehra Zaidi, a student at the university. Interestingly, the Delhi High Court order says, "In Clause 2.2 of the Ordinance 15(XV), in case of an illness, the university has prescribed a period of two weeks for the submission of medical certificates by a student after resuming class. But this rule is not being strictly observed either by the students or the university. The explanation given by the university is that it entertains the medical certificates even at the fag end of the session so that the students should not have any grievances. The university, by entertaining medical certificates at the fag end, is itself creating a kind of indiscipline in the university, besides defying its own rules." Another student suffering from the university's alleged highhanded attitude is Arhan Sett. Sett, who suffers from acute migraine, has secured 65 per cent attendance. Zaidi said that Justice Gambhir had directed the students to move a representation before the vice chancellor. "When the students finally got to meet the VC, he had some interesting observations. According to him, if a student is ill, he/she should not join the university and if a student is financially not stable, he/she should not enter the university without a scholarship. His statement to the students is a clear violation of their right to education," Zaidi. "Due to the unresponsive attitude of the Jamia administration, students today began an indefinite hunger strike and this will continue till our demands are met," says Nabila. |
No helmet, no petrol in
Noida, May 7 District magistrate of Gautam Budh Nagar Deepak Agarwal, said "A large number of deaths in accidents in the district happen because two-wheeler drivers do not wear helmets. Keeping this in mind, we have decided to launch the drive, 'no helmet no petrol', in the city. At a meeting with the petrol pump owners, we have instructed them to sell petrol only to those two-wheeler drivers who wear helmets. We are also planning to conduct seminars in colleges to make the youth more aware about the traffic rules," Agarwal said. To publicise the drive, a copy of the order will be pasted on the notice boards of various institutes and colleges across the district. There are 87 management and engineering colleges in Greater Noida and most of the students studying in these institutes avoid wearing helmets, leading to fatalities. The order follows a study conducted by the Noida police, which has revealed that every 36 hours, a person dies and three get injured on the city roads. Most of these victims are those riding two-wheelers without helmets. |
MCD suspends two for not marking attendance
New Delhi, May 7 Commissioner KS Mehra placed under suspension Arun Kumar and Rajesh of the Karol Bagh zone after they were found not marking their attendance on bio-metric machine, though they were present on the location. The commissioner had carried out a surprise check in the Karol Bagh zone by the director of the Enforcement Cell and his team. "During the checking, it was found that some substitute safai karamcharies were not marking their attendance on the bio-metric machine, though they were present on the location. All the machines were found functional. The ASIs concerned could not explain the reasons for not ensuring that the substitute employees mark their attendance on the machine," said a senior official. The commissioner has instructed a time-bound implementation of e-governance system. "The bio-metric system has been integrated with pay bill module. This was done with clear directions that salary of all the contract and substitute employees will be generated strictly on the basis of their attendance marked on the machines," said Mehra. The pilot run of this project is being done in Karol Bagh zone. After implementing the system it was found that several employees were not marking their attendance on the bio-metric system. |
HIV+ youth jailed for raping stepdaughter
New Delhi, May 7 The convict, a rickshaw puller, had married the victim's mother in 2008. On the night of May 26, 2009, while his wife was away in his native village in UP, he forced himself upon the victim. He threatened the girl not to disclose the incident to anyone. Two days later, when the victim's mother came back, she narrated the incident to her. The mother then lodged a complaint. The convict was arrested on June 4, 2009.PTI |
Singh sabha to contest all 46 seats
New Delhi, May 7 It will field its candidates from all the 46 seats in Delhi. Earlier, the KGSS had alliance with the Shiromani Akali Dal (Delhi-UK). But today it distanced from the SAD (Delhi-UK) on the policy matters and took the pledge to fill up vacuum of good leadership that the community needs. It will pick up competent people from the community to contest the election so that all the religious as well as educational institutions of the gurdwara committee can be managed properly. At present, the standard of education in schools run by the committee has gone down. Marwah said any Akali Dal or any Sikh leader who agreed with the policies of the KGSS could join it with an aim to work for the welfare of the community. He demanded from the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee to make a documentary of works done by Baba Harbans Singh who devoted his life for the cause of the Sikhs. He died in Delhi a few days back. An historic building should be named after Baba Harbans Singh ji. He also demanded the details of Rs 350 crore being collected by the committee president, Paramjeet Singh Sarna, for the construction of the parking lot on the premises of Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib. How the budget for the construction of the lot has increased from Rs 50 to Rs 350 crore without discussing it ? The president alone does not have power to take the decision, he said. He also said while constructing the parking lot, the committee should take care of of the gurdwara. If it was damaged, the KGSS members would come forward to stop the damage. They would not tolerate any damage done to the historic parts of the gurdwara, he added. |
Israeli woman robbed, 3 held
New Delhi, May 7 "They had stolen the bag of an Israeli national while she was coming to Delhi from Kathgodam by Ranikhet Express. The bag contained gold ornaments, cash and other materials," DCP Ashok Chand said. Stolen goods, including gold and artificial jewellery, worth lakhs of rupees were recovered from the trio. -- PTI |
Delhi Diary In a dense court room packed with journos, lawyers, police and the entire 2 G spectrum accused along with their family members during the bail plea hearing of DMK MP Kanimozhi, the atmosphere was as tense as it could be. With one of country's sharpest legal minds Ram Jethmalani defending Kanimozhi and his lone voice roaring through the court, everybody seemed nervous especially A.Raja and Shahid Balwa. Balwa was chewing gum all through the day with gloom writ large on his face. However, there came a cheerful moment when even the duo could not help smiling. Jethmalani was half-way through his argument when a mobile in the court room came alive with a ring tone "pehli pehli baar mohabbat ki hai " to be heard loud and clear through the length and breadth of the court. While Jethmalani and the judge frowned, all the others, including Balwa and Raja, could not help but burst into smiles, albeit with their heads down. DMC lists achievements
There was complete silence at a meeting of the National Minorities Commission held a few days ago when the Delhi Minorities Commission The DMC started explaining its achievements and schemes of the city government. Among them is fee reimbursement of poor students of minorities enrolled with the public schools under the scheme of the economically weaker section. The fee of as many as 39,400 students was reimbursed by the social welfare department of the minorities, Delhi government. DMC popularized this scheme. With the help of Baru Sahib, a charitable educational institution of Sikhs, pamphlets and leaflets were distributed in the communities. Consequently, thousands of people thronged the department concerned for getting the benefit. The government had allocated only Rs 9 lakh under the scheme, but having seen the rush of needy students, it arranged for Rs 28 crore. Sikkim studies
at Jamia
Sikkim Studies Programme is indeed a welcome addition to the Northeast Studies Programme at Jamia Millia Islamia. It has been Jamia's endeavour to strengthen students' understanding of the northeast. Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Chamling and Jamia vice-chancellor Najeeb Jung are the brain behind this scheme. The areas of focus under the scheme are green governance, including climate change and its impact; critical issues before small states; social stress and coping mechanisms. Jamia has a Northeast Studies Centre to play the role of a leading research and documentation centre for the region and as a "think tank" for the academic community and policy makers. It also aims to provide an alternative platform to the region. Hard to rein in encroachers
Encroachment remains a big challenge for the civic bodies in the city. While the DDA was recently termed as 'Delhi Destruction Authority' by the Supreme Court for failing to check large-scale encroachments on public land, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, looking after 90 per cent of the area of the city, has also failed to control the menace even after taking several measures. However, the NDMC claims to have removed 26,866 temporary encroachments by hawkers and squatters in a report highlighting its efforts between April 2010 and April 2011. The civic body states that it has raised Rs 36 lakh from fines levied on encroachers. (Contributed by Sandeep Yadav, Syed Ali Ahmed, Charu Singh, Himani

3 weeks 1 day ago | What Website? |
What website are you looking for tickets on? Stubhub? The University hasn't started selling single game tickets yet as far as I can tell. I'm actually debating buying season tickets ($180 for the upper bowl!) as I'm a short metro ride away from College Park. I've seen maybe one football game at Byrd (Maryland vs. Duke? In 2001?), I was in the lower bowl and it was fine. I've watched a lot of lacrosse there, usually from the lower bowl for Maryland games which is always fun, and from the upper bowl when the National Championships were still there. Like other people have mentioned the upper bowl is really steep, and quite a ways up there. |

1 year 1 week ago | BYU |
I always figured BYU would be adding a team sooner rather than later. They always have a solid club team and have some built in recruiting from all over the country. There is a huge Mormon population in a lot of the lacrosse hot bed (massive Temple in DC and the religion started in upstate New York). Plus, having the missionary break built in means they'd constantly be fielding older teams which I think could give them an advantage in fielding a good team their first few years ("Hey, come here and play lacrosse, but go on your mission first while we recruit a bunch of other good players for two years, and when you come back we'll have three classes of recruits all ready to play"). |

Thankfully they don't play D1 hockey on "The Big Pond". 197x115 ft. Wut? |
1 year 18 weeks ago | No BWW in Whistler |
Is anyone else on a ski vacation at Whistler? Want to find a bar to apres ski and watch the bowl game? |
1 year 20 weeks ago | Forsbergian |
They should be calling Forsbergian as he was the first one to pull that move. They even put it on a postage stamp in Sweden. |
1 year 21 weeks ago | No more DC |
I would like to point out that the Military Bowl/DC bowl is no longer being played in DC, rather it's at Navy's Stadium in Annapolis (which means no beer...but I digress). I am therefore in full support of renaming it the Old Bay Crab Bowl or something similar. |
1 year 25 weeks ago | Not that great. |
Except the hours suck. They don't open until 9am and the terrible pool there has even worse hours. And if it's even slightly busy the weight room gets incredibly cramped. Great? Eastern's Rec is way better. In fact every college campus I've been on has a better rec center. |

mgoblue says the game will be on BTN as well. |
1 year 33 weeks ago | My dad |
My dad had a stress related siezure two weeks ago (or at least I think it's stress related) and his doc told him not to work for a month. I think Coach Kill needs to do something similar because this has happened before. |
1 year 41 weeks ago | End line tickets |
Since they only have sideline and corner tickets available does that mean endline tickets (because I'm cheap) will be available at a later date without the lottery? |

Only $625 per seat per game! What a deal! |

Well the Saddledome is flooding right now. |
1 year 45 weeks ago | Spain-North Korea |
It was either Spain or Brazil that played North Korea at the last world cup, that was probably as much of a mismatch, but still go Tahiti. That Tahiti/Nigeria match could have been a lot closer, I thought Tahiti should have had two more goals and Nigeria could have easily had two less goals (first one was a double deflection and the third was a fumble by the Tahitian keeper). Granted Nigeria did dribble the ball over the end line three or four times with a wide open net infront of them. Hopefully we get to see more of this sometime this tournament: |

I quickly drew up a sketch of the entire area they are trying to redevelop as well as where the arena would be located. |
1 year 46 weeks ago | Soccer |
It may be just because I really like soccer, but I think the Men's soccer games are some of the best non-revenue games. Especially for matches against State and OSU the student section gets pretty rowdy with a good set of organized cheers. Plus the soccer facility is really nice. I've also been to a tennis match at the indoor facility and that was pretty fun as well. |

1 year 47 weeks ago | NHL Network |
Also, the fact that NHL network isn't even an option on UVERSE swayed me away from it, though I believe that's the cable provider at my new house next year. |
1 year 47 weeks ago | No problems with comcast |
I've honestly had no problems in the 6 years I've had it in Ann Arbor. The first place I moved into here, the tech spent 3 hours to run new lines throughout the whole even though I paid no installation fee. Never had service problems and the one time I had a problem with my box it took me all of 15 minutes at the Comcast store to exchange it for a new one. |

It's a network based in France that recently started in the US. It's 728 on Ann Arbor comcast (not HD) and 620 on Directtv according to wikipedia. |

"Package store" is also a common name, especially in Boston and Baltimore. |

Hopkins has a D3 club hockey team that appears to have 10 kids on it, not sure where you got the hockey idea from. Adding a different hockey only school is possible, but it won't be Hopkins. |

2 years 3 days ago | Out of state students |
Can we get rid of the out of state students with money to burn meme. U of M costs roughly 50k per year to go to out of state but I, and many others, came here because it's one of the best schools in the country. I and my parents scrimped and saved and got loans so I could attend this great instituion. Most out of state students do not have money to burn, and guess what? Every in state student isn't a diehard fan. |
2 years 1 week ago | Maryland Abbreviation |
I usually see the abbreviation as UMD (MD=Maryland) or UMCP (University of Maryland College Park as there are 4 other schools in the UM system). And this letter is hilarious and more importantly makes my Terp friends very embarrassed. |
