while i am aware of the reasons for the focus on christianity and islam in matters of secular criticism, i am astonished to find so little material available in terms of judaism. we have heard elsewhere on this forum that judaism is more intellectually rigorous and does not proselytize. ok, that's all well and good—but there is another (very important) argument that deals with the miserable and violent effects attributed to religion. we hear constant anecdotes about witch trials, the inquisition and the current issue of terrorism and islamofascism. but why is judaism left out?
sam's book is one of the first i have found which incorporates criticisms of judaism to any noticable degree. this is difficult, because many muslims who may be even slightly open to criticism, find an apparent lack of quips and disparagements made about judaism. where are they? can anybody recommend books, websites, authors, etc.? the crimes of the jews and the argument against the malignancy in the core of judaism needs to come more front and center—even if they do not surface as easily as a recitation of surah 9 from the koran. sam touches on this when he attacks the sectarianism of judaism, but we need more of the historical examples (alluded to at times by noam chomsky when he refers to the bible as 'the most genocidal book in the canon').
as long as judaism came first, we should look at the phenomenon of monotheism as an evolving singular phenomenon. the 'violent core' of islam must be traceable to judaism, no? why is this point never made? of, at least, why is it not made more often? i'm sure it is not a result of some feared retaliation from the "jewish cabals" so many assert exist in the media and government. however, without these issues being brought front and center, the community of secular critics must understand that a large, important contingent of their potential audience is writing them off, if for no other reason than because it looks disingenuous. i'm not jewish, christian or muslim and it looks out of balance to me. the history of secularism in the modern west shows that a significant portion of it's progenitors were formerly jewish or of jewish descent. my only point is that these issues should be addressed. critics of religion should be as willing to endure empty accusations of anti-semitism from jewish groups as they are to endure being called infidels by muslim groups and immoral by the christian right. currently they are not.
i consider myself to be fairly aware of the available major works of religious criticism that have circulated in the past 200 years (though i am aware that i ahve missed many). why, then, am i so much more equipped as a result of my readings, to offer anecdotes and statistics, scriptural references from christianity and islam than i am from judaism? where are the big, popular anti-judaism books so i can quote in conversation the atrocities of the jewish religion the way i can christianity and islam? maybe i have missed something. if so, i hope somebody on this forum can direct me to the right place.

In the last few months, I'm having to do things that I never was responsible for before.
For instance, I heard the weather man on TV say that you must, must, must, disconnect water hoses, else they will freeze and burst in this cold blast of weather we're expecting.
One thing he sure got right. It is cold!
So this morning (Thursday)) before daylight, I finally found the flash light. I bundled up and went outside to take care of cold-weather business.
Come to find out I had three water hoses, all still connected.
Cold? Mercy! My hands were so cold even with gloves that it was right much of a chore to get the hoses unscrewed and off the spigots.
And each time, I got splattered with icy water when the hose finally came loose.
And besides that I woke up every dog in the neighborhood and their howling surely must have awakened the neighbors IN the dark of very early morning.
My teeth were chattering and my hands were shaking by the time I got back to the kitchen and my coffee pot.
It's been a long time since I had to keep up with things around the house, and I'm still trying to get used to it.
The first few weeks after we lost YKW, I didn't always remember to get the mail out of the box every day.
Two or three days would pass and the sweet mail lady would ring the bell and hand me my accumulated mail.
I'm learning, but I know my limitations and so I keep a list of VIN – Very Important Numbers – right over the top of my rotary dial wall phone.
I mention "rotary" because I must be one of the few people on the East Coast who refuses to give up my dial phones.
VIN numbers, in no particular order – just VIN:
Willie Saul Plumbing, whom I've had to call a couple of times recently.
My pest control man, who had to install new vents in our old house.
And Crabbe Service, for heating and cooling service.
William Tickle's number is there in case I need him to help me keep my 18-year-old Explorer going.
His number is also on a sticky note on the dash of said vehicle.
My yard-mowing men.
The boss' number at work just in case the Explorer gets temperamental on me.
And Don Bolden's. If I want to know anything in the world – he's the one I call.
Good friends Ann and Judi, always available for whatever needs be, even if it's just a sympathetic ear.
My neighbor Kathleen across the street, such a comfort on so many occasions.
My doctor and my dentist and the drug store.
My pastor and my Uncle Curtis.
My brother and my sister.
My precious girls and their mates. You'd think I could remember their numbers, and some days, I can.
And then there's a few numbers on sticky notes that I honestly don't know why I've got in such a prominent place.
For instance, the bicycle repairman that somebody told me could fix up my bike like new.
And one that just says "chimney sweep" – no number; no name.
Stay warm, my friends. And if you're snowbound today, you might want to make your own list of VIN's.
You may reach me at email@example.com

2009's New Albanian Charlie Vettiner Open was the richest tournament in Louisville history and the first A-tier in our city. We've been award another A-tier for 2010. The Louisville Disc Golf Club should be very proud of their efforts last year in pursuing the funds to be able to pay out $12,485 worth of cash and prizes. A huge chunk of this money came from our title sponsor, the New Albanian Brewing Company. Unfortunately, with the economy in the state that it's in, the NABC will NOT be able to sponsor our event again in 2010. This doesn't mean that we will NOT be able to have our tourney and that we will NOT be able to be as big (or bigger) as we were last year. It just means we have to work harder to find individual and/or title sponsors.
As we have done for the past few years, we'll have the caddy book's to hand out to every player. Start looking at getting caddy book sponsors NOW.
In this book we are offering $100 hole sponsors and $250 color full page sponsors. Below is a list of available sponsorship spots. If you sponsored a hole last year and want that same hole again please let me know ASAP.
All sponsors will receive their space in the caddy book (which ALL players will receive), a sign on their sponsored hole's tee sign, recognition on the "Thank You" page of the caddy book, recognition at all player's meetings and awards ceremonies, and advertisement on our website's message board.
If you know of anyone that may be interested in buying a hole sponsor either let me know. More holes will be available in the future as we decide what format we will be using. Please post here or PM me with your request to sponsor a specific hole.
If there are any individuals that want to put their money together and sponsor a hole that is fine too.

|Free Heart Screening Program Helps Tampa Bay Teen
Local Tampa mother Lee Moore thanked members of the Cardiac Arrhythmia Syndromes (CAS) Foundation and their SafeBeat initiative for offering free heart screenings to local high schools. Her 15-year old son, who is a member of a local high school basketball and track team, was found to have a heart condition known as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW).
"Thanks to the SafeBeat initiative's free heart screening program, we were able to identify his heart condition that would have otherwise gone undetected," said Lee Moore, mother of the student athlete. "As a parent, this is a tremendous relief to have this life saving information now, in order to learn more about treatment, rather than when it's too late to do anything. I encourage all parents to sign up their high school child today - the cost is free, and it may just save your child's life," Moore emphasized.
"WPW is a potentially life threatening arrhythmia that can be detected through EKG screening," said Dr. Gul Dadlani, medical director of pediatric cardiology at All Children's Hospital. "I hope that more students will take advantage of this free voluntary program that is offered by the SafeBeat initiative and hopefully prevent other cases of sudden cardiac death in the Tampa Bay community."
The student's EKG was taken during a recent heart screening and in less than 24 hours from the initial abnormal EKG reading, the student and his mother were meeting with Dr. Gul Dadlani for further tests and consultation. The student's WPW will continue to be monitored; however, it does not preclude him from playing sports at this time.
"This is exactly the goal of the CAS Foundation," said its founder Jayne Vining. "Knowledge and awareness is the key to prevention and I again applaud our partners and sponsors for taking this bold step in leading the charge here in Florida," said Vining, whose son Marc was lost due to a cardiac abnormality and started the CAS Foundation in his memory.
The CAS Foundation encourages parents or guardians of high school students to go to SafeBeat.org to register their child to get tested. The CAS Foundation, through the SafeBeat initiative, will be screening students at all Hillsborough County high schools the remainder of the 2009-2010 school year and the 2010-2011 / 2011-2012 years as well.
Screenings are offered by SafeBeat and its sponsors. They are not a Hillsborough County School Board program or activity. Participation is voluntary. No school board employee will take part in the screenings, nor will any school board employee review or have access to them.
About The SafeBeat Initiative
The CAS Foundation, through the SafeBeat initiative, offers free, voluntary opt-in heart screening programs initially to seven Tampa Bay area high schools. SafeBeat is an awareness campaign to provide heart screenings to all Hillsborough County high school students during the remaining 2009-2010 school year and the upcoming 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 school year. There is no charge to the student, parent, or school district for the screening. SafeBeat was unveiled at a March 22, 2010 press conference with former NFL Coach Tony Dungy.
The SafeBeat initiative has partnered with All Children's Specialty Physicians and is working with Hillsborough County Public Schools on this effort. These screenings are offered by SafeBeat and its sponsors. They are not a Hillsborough County School Board program or activity. No school board employee will take part in the screenings, nor will any school board employee review or have access to them.
Each year, more than 7,000 children and adolescents in the United States die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). Four out of five victims of SCA appeared healthy and had no symptoms prior to death. Without symptoms, an electrocardiogram-based heart screening is the best way to detect the potential life-threatening condition.

Hey from Eglin.
Went to a salvage yard today in Crestview that I've always loved. They had a complete perfect Rado G60, a handfull of mk2's and mk3's and a little 88 cabriolet with a few mods...errrr...a lot of mods
I knew the car back in the day when I lived in Panama City and have NO idea how it ended up a junkyard in the middle of nowhere but i do know that I bought it
Actually it was cheaper for me to buy it complete and take all I want. The body is kinda jacked up but I'm getting:
16V engine swap. 2.0 block/1.8 head/centerforce clutch/2y trans
Techtonics exhaust
Rocco brake upgrade(front and rear disc)
stainless steel brake lines
upgraded sway bars
strut tower bar and rear tower bar
jamex hood struts
some kind of aftermarket suspension
short shifter
blah blah blah.
So yeah...I'm happy
P.S. My 79 Rabbit L HAS TO GO. If you know any dubbers that are local...please let them know. It's not for sale to non dubbers.

Anyone have Picture It 2000
by trickyrick123 - 7/24/09 5:33 AM
Good day
I have being using Picture It 2000 I know its an old program but its very simple to use. Its a 2 Disc set and 3 months ago I found the 2nd disc in the CD Rom Tray in several pieces. I was hoping that someone out there would make me a copy of the 2nd Disk and I would gladly pay them for the disk and to mail it. This would not violate any copy laws as I already purchased the software and have a license I just need a backup of the 2nd disk
If anyone would be willing to do that I would be very great full

Stargazing can be a lonely preoccupation. Sometimes it's so hard to convince your loved ones to travel to the middle of nowhere in the dark to see a bunch of sparkly things, as beautiful as they may be.
Most stargazers have spent an evening or two alone in the middle of some farmer's field, lost in the vastness of space and, frankly, scared out of their minds. The sounds of the night are the scariest part — the rustle of a corn stalk can be the sure sign that Bigfoot is approaching stealthily through the darkness.
Come on, it COULD have been Bigfoot. I don't usually stop to notice any details. I'm too busy running for the car to see the blood dripping from its hideous, razor-sharp fangs. Take heart, solitary stargazers. This time of year, the patron star of lonely astronerds sits low and forlorn in the south. It's Fomalhaut, the "Solitary One."
Look directly south around midnight and you'll see a single star amidst a large patch of darkness. The other stars in Piscis Austrinus, the Southern Fish, are too faint to see from all but the darkest rural skies. Fomalhaut sticks out like Bigfoot's big toe. The star's name comes from the Arabic expression "Fum al Hut," which means the "Mouth of the Fish." It is traditionally associated with the coming of autumn and the loss of summer. Add to that its isolated location, and you have one depressing star.
Because it never gets very low above the horizon, it often takes on a dim orange cast as its light is filtered through the thick layer of air close to the horizon. Don't let appearances fool you. Fomalhaut is a hot, young star that burns with an almost pure, white flame. It has the distinction of being one of the first stars around which a disk of cool dust and gas was discovered. Astronomers believe that such disks eventually form into planets like those in our own solar system. Fomalhaut's dusty disk was discovered in 1983 by IRAS, the Infra-Red Astronomical Satellite, which was sent into orbit to examine not the light, but the heat, emanating from the stars.
According to astronomical historian Robert Burnham, the Solitary One has a Biblical connection.
Most people have heard the story of Sampson, the great Israelite hero and strong man who was seduced by the Philistine woman Delilah. However, they don't know the astronomical connection. Sampson derived his strength from his body hair, and men of his clan were not permitted to shave. Delilah learned his secret and had his hair shaved off. The weakened Sampson was at the mercy of his Philistine enemies, who had his eyes gouged out.The Philistines decided to offer a sacrifice to the fish-god Dagon in honor of their triumph. It's hard to blame them. Sampson had slain more than a few Philistines in his time.
So the Philistines had an enormous debauch in Dagon's temple in the town of Gaza. To add insult to injury, they paraded the blinded and weakened Sampson before the assembled multitude. Summoning his last reserve of strength, Sampson pushed on the pillars of the temple, and managed to take thousands more Philistines with him as the falling temple debris crushed him.
Dagon is none other than the star Fomalhaut, which the Philistines worshipped at the temple at Gaza. The temple's rubble has long-since turned to dust, but the star remains as a symbol of Sampson's power. At the time of his death, Sampson was as alone and isolated as the star. Surrounded by his enemies, he was able to summon the power to triumph. I hope it's clear this weekend. It just seems like a good time to stand alone under the stars and watch Fomalhaut flicker in the south. Watch out, Bigfoot. Here I come.
The early evening sky is still bereft of planets. Bright Jupiter is low in the east by 11 p.m. and reaches its highest point in the south by 4 a.m. It sticks out like a sore thumb among the relatively faint stars of Aries and Pisces in that direction. Faint, orange Mars peeks above the eastern horizon just before morning twilight.

I had a great time both weekends, but I think I enjoyed shooting the Ams just a little bit more. I hope I got everyone, but I'm sure I missed a card or two.

Relocating: near family (mine)
Jun 30th 2013 new
IS it just me or does anyone else think it is rather selfish to respond "near family (mine)" under the RELOCATING section of the profile? It reminds me of children when they are about 2.5 years old and their favorite suddenly becomes "MINE" (in addition to "no"). It appears to me if you respond with "near family (mine)" you are functioning at the emotional level of a 2.5 year old. Just sayin'.

You know, I wouldn't admit this to just anybody, but we're friends.
So, just between me and thee, I'm nosy.
Now I'm not real proud of it, but on the other hand, I'm not ashamed of it, either. I've always thought that nosy people were interested in things that a lot of people wouldn't pay much mind to.
OK. Let's take a for instance. If I see a strange car in my daughter's driveway, I don't go running over to check it out.
No, I'm a little less surreptitious than that.
I like that word, don't you? I borrowed it from Jay Ashley.
However, I do manage to take out the garbage just about the time "her company" is leaving.
Curiosity is not something that has come upon me in the last few – or many – years.
I remember when I was growing up at home, I always wanted to be where I could hear the grown-ups talk. That used to aggravate my mother so much and many's the time that she has said, "
I also remember when I was in the second grade. I was beginning to get a bit suspicious about the jolly old elf who brought gifts and nuts and fruits and candy at Christmas.
One day in early December, mother was going to town shopping. Shoulder bags were very popular with my older sisters, but mother said I was too little for a shoulder bag. She was the only one I told about wanting a shoulder bag — except in my letter to Santa.
Nosy that I was, while she was gone, I searched the house over, all the closets, everywhere. And yes, in the very top of her closet, there was a J.C. Penney bag with a brown shoulder bag in it.
Nosy is not always the best road to take.
And when all six of us were still at home with Mother and Daddy, we had a phone out in the hallway off the dining room.
Whenever one of my sisters would get a call, they would always shut the door.
Well, that was a sure signal for me to meander into the dining room and get as close to the door as I could to overhear at least one side of the conversation. As time passed, they caught on to me, though, and mother put a stop to most of my eavesdropping.
Some of my inquisitiveness followed me as I grew up.
One of my sisters was a French teacher in a high school in
At my insistence, she finally taught me one phrase in French: fermez la bouche (be silent). We've laughed over that many times, but that one phrase was as nosy as I got, French-wise.
Truth to tell, I think I may be getting somewhat better, though.
There was a time when I would read the last two chapters of a book before I read the first two. But I finally decided I was defeating the purpose. So now I just muddle through the book from Chapter 1 to "The End." There's something to be said for both ways.
I may have outgrown some of my nosy ways. At any rate, I've changed "nosy" to "interested in what is going on around me."
Better, huh?
Oh, and I've also been accused of being bossy, but I'm not owning up to that.
You may contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Up-selling odor removal
The cost of finding new customers or clients in today's economic condition is a big expense for most small auto detailing businesses. "Up-selling" those new customers maximizes your return on that expense. It's a simple approach that you can implement quickly and get immediate results.
Up-selling is a procedure designed to get more money at the point of sale. You implement it by offering your customers or clients an upgraded product or related item at the time they are making their first purchase. Customers will never be more receptive to an attractive offer from you than when they're paying you money.
Want some odor removal with that?
If you've ever been asked if you'd like fries with your burger or were offered a larger portion at only a slightly higher price, then you understand the concept of up-selling. This business practice encourages one to buy a bigger or better product than they might have originally intended.
It always amazes me to see many auto detailing operations not incorporating an up-selling technique into their sales system. Maybe they avoid up-selling because they're afraid the customer may get irritated and not buy at all. I've found the opposite to be true. Customers appreciate your thoughtfulness in offering them an added benefit they didn't know about.
Some auto detailing business owners have told me they don't up-sell because it's not feasible in their business. They really believed that until I described the up-selling offers used successfully by some of their competitors. Every auto detailing business can implement a successful up-selling program.
A new auto detailing company called me recently. The owner/operator wanted advice on how to increase their profit margin on new customer visits. I suggested adding an interior odor eliminator as part of an up-selling package. He took my advice and instantly pocketed a 60 percent profit on the cost of the shampoo in addition to the initial service the customer purchases.
Easy as 1, 2, sell
Up-selling has none of the characteristics usually associated with selling. It is so easy that I've seen even unskilled order takers achieve high acceptance rates by reading a script. Up-selling is simply offering a suggestion to an already receptive buyer to enhance the value of his or her purchase.
Present your interior shampoo/odor eliminating up-selling offer casually, as almost an afterthought.
For example, if you were speaking with your customer in person while going over the condition of their vehicle you might say: "Your upholstery, carpets, and floor mats have some dirt and grease stains. If you'd like, we can quickly shampoo your interior which will effectively remove these stains while eliminating any unwanted odor. The regular price for all of this is an additional $110 but I'll give it to you for just an additional $55 if you get it today."
You can make this same offer on paper or post it on a website. It doesn't have to be verbal to be effective.
A big increase with little effort needed
Most auto detailing businesses I've surveyed report acceptance rates between 40 percent and 60 percent for their up-selling offers. This is a big increase for so little effort. Plus, the profit from the up-selling portion often exceeds the profit on the initial service because there are no additional expenses involved.
If you're not making up-selling offers to every new customer or client, start doing it now. It's an easy way to boost your profits fast with little effort and very little expense. Up-selling an interior odor removal services to your customers is a great way for your organization to sell more and derive more profits.

PEMBROKE, NC - The Pfeiffer University women's volleyball team (1-7) took control early and seized their first victory of the 2013 season over Flagler College 3-1. The victory was the team's first of the season and the first in Head Coach Paul Lawson's tenure as the Lady Falcons' new leader. The win would also come without the help of Lady Falcon junior Kelly Lancellot who missed both matches due to an injury. The match was the first of two back-to-back contests for Pfeiffer today, with the second match coming against the home team, UNC Pembroke.
The Lady Falcons came out swinging in game one, putting up a commanding 13-9 lead over the Saints in the first half of action. Flagler would fight back and pull even with the Lady Falcons before taking the lead 14-13 off back-to-back Pfeiffer attack errors. The Saints extended their lead to 22-17 on a kill by Emilee Taylor, but it wouldn't last long. Following a timeout, the Lady Falcons would regroup and claw their way back on top beginning with a strong kill by senior Milana Mervosh. Pfeiffer carried the momentum to the finish, sealing game one 25-23 with a kill by freshman Shelby Younger. The Lady Falcons would surrender game two to the Saints 22-25 but the loss proved to only be a small speed bump on Pfeiffer's road to victory. Game three was Pfeiffer's time to shine, clearly making a statement with a 25-17 win enroute to a solid 25-23 win in game four to secure the match. The Lady Falcons lit up the box score with impressive marks in nearly every column. Mervosh led all players with 14 total kills only besting her teammate Kelsey Blauser by two. On top of Blauser's 12 kills she put up an impressive .476 hitting percentage, contributing to the Lady Falcons' overall hitting percentage of .201 for the match. Pfeiffer's Emily Wall led all players in assists with 21 as well as in the service ace column where she put four balls on the Saints' side of the net. The Lady Falcons put up impressive numbers defensively as well, notching 63 total team digs to Flagler's 52. Junior defensive specialist Meghan Davis led all players on the defensive side of the ball with 15 digs for the match.
The second match of the day for the Lady Falcons was almost a complete opposite of the first, ending in a 3-0 decision at the hands of the host team. UNC Pembroke jumped out to an early 4-2 lead in game one, and after two ties and lead changes, pulled away from the Lady Falcons never looking back and handing Pfeiffer a 18-25 defeat in the first frame. The second game wasn't unlike the first, with the Braves besting Pfeiffer 16-25. In game three the Lady Falcons showed true grit and determination and shook off the first two losses showing the fire they displayed in the day's first contest. Following six ties and two lead changes, Pfeiffer appeared to be pulling away from the home team in game three, taking the lead 21-17 off an attack error from Marissa Baker. The Lady Falcons unfortunately couldn't maintain the momentum and succumbed to the Braves in the final game, 24-26. A lackluster offense proved to be Pfeiffer's downfall in the third match with the team only putting up a .008 hitting percentage coupled with 27 total team attack errors. The Lady Falcons were led in the kill column by Mervosh for the second match in a row. Mervosh and senior Anna Vizvary contributed seven kills apiece for the contest. Pfeiffer newcomer Haley Denny led all players in the dig column with 23 total on the match.
The Lady Falcons have five days to rest before they return to action on September 20th when the take on Lees-McRae in Banner Elk, NC.

Comments about Planet Bike Versair Mini Dual Pump:
Horrible. Do not purchase this product. I cannot understand why Planet Bike would put out a product of such poor quality.
Comments about Planet Bike Versair Mini Dual Pump:
I've only used it for a relatively short time. I mainly bought this to replace the two other cheaper pumps I got at KMart that didn't work for me (takes forever to pump up a tire and/or couldn't get it up to a decent pressure w/o killing my hands). This pump allows me to pump over 100psi. However, it does take some effort to pump it passed 100psi. The main thing isn't that it's hard to push in or pull out the plunger, but rather the handle is only cushioned on the push in cycle, but not the pull out cycle; this is due to the design of the handle. I like having the separate hose and foot peg, which effectively makes it a portable foot pump (except you're limited to using one hand because of the small handle). The only big thing missing from this pump is a pressure gauge. But then again, it's only an $18 pump. The mounting bracket that comes with this pump doesn't seem to fit in well on my bike-->seems to get in the way of the front derailleur or my legs/feet. (they should include a right-angle bracket instead of a flat one). I just forgo the bracket and just throw the pump in the bag with my spare tubes and repair kit.

BestCarFinder have become renowned for offering fantastic cheap
car leasing and van leasing offers all over the UK - some of our
business lease car deals such as Audi
Leasing & Mercedes Leasing
deals have really proven that Best Car Finder is a cut above
all the other leasing companies. We use a very simple business
model with our leasing deals - Good Vehicles, Sensible
Deposits, Low Admin Fees & No Hidden Costs.
We sometimes find that a few people are wary of car leasing
deals, especially in the UK. But once they actually sit down and do
the maths they realise that, after depreciation, leasing is in fact
(most of the time) considerably cheaper than buying a new vehicle.
Notwithstanding the inevitable headaches when your car or van gets
older and you have to deal with mechanical problems, car leasing
(and van leasing) can take that headache away with a brand-new
vehicle being delivered at the end of your lease contract before
the need to spend out!
If you are toying with the idea of business car leasing or
personal car leasing - give one of our contact hire / leasing
specialists a call on 01480 223 067
Contract Hire / Car Leasing allows you to manage the value of
your vehicle to a pre-determined residual value two to four years
down the line. Your set monthly payment includes road tax and you
may even add a maintenance package to cover the costs of all
routine servicing.
If you contract hire you can access volume buyers discounts and
remove anywhere from 10 to 30% of depreciation on day one, reducing
the overall cost of the vehicle for the duration of the contract
and this leads to a lower monthly cost to you.
For example:- Buy a Brand New Ford Mondeo outright at £20000.
You will run this car for 3 years until you go to sell it for £5000
later on. This effectively costs you £416 per month in depreciation
alone, add to that £18.75 per month in road tax and eventually an
MOT (and you also run the risk of only managing to sell it for
With leasing you have none of this risk and the behind
the scenes discounts and finance mean you could have this car for
as little as £265 per month inc VAT and road tax. You only need to
fuel, insure and maintain it.
Car leasing is a constructive way to manage the inevitable
losses that owning a car brings with no risk to you at all - So if
you are toying with the idea of cheap car leasing - give one of our

My book shelves are packed with books, many that I have not read, but mean to get "roundtoit."
Some of them I bought, some were given to me, some I borrowed and didn't return – more of those than I'd like to admit.
But in spite of the good reading material available to me, I go back now and again to a few books that I really enjoy.
One such was written by Tim Wildmon in 1998, "I Wonder What Noah Did With the Woodpecker."
The other day while dusting – yes, I do, once in a blue moon – I ran across the book, and I read and enjoyed it for perhaps the third or fourth time.
I want to share some of it with you because I hear that a good belly laugh can benefit the mind and the body.
In fact, Wildmon says children, on average, laugh about 400 times a day, adults only about 15 times. Hmm. Wonder what happened to that 385 laughs.
Wildmon goes on to say that laughing increases immunity to infection by instantly increasing a flood of disease-fighting cells and proteins into the blood.
Brain wave activity changes when we catch the punch line of a joke. Yes, it does and laughter helps control pain, lowers blood pressure and relieves stress.
In view of this, Wildmon says that watching "Andy Griffith or "I Love Lucy" re-re-runs could do more for us than a Jane Fonda workout.
He goes on to name the chapters of his book thusly:
"Oh, thanks, mister, let me handle it! Blame it all on me!" – Eve to Adam.
"You're kidding me, right?" – Goliath to David.
"Yeah and I'm Howdy Doody!" – One Christian to another when told Saul of Tarsus had been converted.
"Despite what you have been told, I was not a bullfrog in a previous life, and I am going to slap the next person who asks me." – Jeremiah the prophet.
"You are one stubborn hombre, you know that?" – Moses to Pharaoh.
"You'll get to eat there soon enough, big fellow." – Daniel.
"I'm warning you, Abel. Stick your straw in my drink one more time, and you're history." – Cain.
"Now where did y'all put those termites anyway?" Noah to his sons.
"You guys go ahead. My horse has a cramp or something." – One Egyptian soldier after seeing the
"You're up first. This better be good." – Mark, Luke and John to Matthew.
"Hey, what about Mary? She's got a good voice." – Peter to Paul.
"Nothing personal, but I really don't want to hear your problems." – Job to his neighbor.
"Why have you clammed up on me back there all of a sudden, honey? Honey … honey … hon?" – Lot to his wife.
Now then. I want you to count the number of times you laugh today. Try for 30.
At least.
Read any good books lately?

The above letters reflect many of our children's feelings when they are first seen by Dr. Kletter. They and their families arrive to the Pediatric Endocrinology clinic with hope that something can be done.
Children are usually followed by their pediatrician or primary care provider. The following questions are guidelines for parents who are worried about their child's growth. While any "yes" to the questions may not indicate a problem, it warrants a discussion with your child's healthcare provider.
- Is my child the shortest or tallest in the class?
- Is my child unable to keep up with children of the same age in play?
- Is my child growing less than 2 inches or more than 3 inches a year?
- Is my child showing signs of early sexual development (before age 7 in girls and before age 9 in boys)?
- Has my 13 year old girl or 15 year old boy failed to show signs of sexual development?
An experienced pediatric endocrinologist will evaluate the following possible causes of short stature and growth failure:

Rhoney Records Historic Triple-Double as Women's Basketball Routs St. Andrews 105-55
February 2, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Behind Kellie Rhoneys (Catawba, NC) triple-double and Brittany Coxs (Winston-Salem, NC) double-double, Pfeiffer University scored a season-high 105 points during a 105-55 trouncing of St. Andrews in Conference Carolinas womens basketball action on Thursday night. Rhoney becomes the second person to post a triple-double in league action this season and just the 14th in division two with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists as the Lady Falcons move to 10-9, 5-5 in conference play. The loss sends the Knights to 0-17, 0-10.
Rhoney recorded the historic feat with 6:25 remaining to play in the second after grabbing her 10th and final board of the game. The junior point guard shot 50% from the field going 5-of-10 while adding three steals in 30 minutes of play. Cox recorded a game-high 28 points with 12 rebounds shooting 53% on the night logging just 24 minutes.
A layup by Jodie Lemons (Madison, NC) put Pfeiffer up 12-0 early before St. Andrews got on the board with a basket by Rebecca Bryant (Cincinnati, OH) with 14:16 remaining before the half. The Lady Falcons would add a dozen more points before the Knights next points with a pair of Rhoney baskets, two Cox free throws and a triple again by Lemons.
After two free throws and jumper by St. Andrews Benee Norton (Atlanta, GA), Kaela Bellefeuil (Kernersville, NC) would knock down back-to-back triples to put the hosts up 22. Bellefeuil would soon add three more to her career-high 17-point night towards the end of the half while Cox and Rhoney each added two in the final 49 of the opening half.
Cox would send the Lady Falcons over the 40-point mark with a triple 2:06 into the second before two quick free throws by Norton and baskets by Kimayah Fulcher (New Bern, NC) temporarily stopped the bleeding. After Rhoneys rebound that put her on the triple-double platform, the junior turned around to assist her final time of the night on another Cox trey.
Behind Rhoney and Cox, Bellefeuil would end her night with the career-high 17 on 6-of-9 shooting while Brittany Washington (Simpsonville, NC) added 12. Lemons would conclude the night going 4-of-6 from the floor equaling 10 points. The Lady Falcons shot 46% from the field knocking down 14 triples which ties a school-record. St. Andrews was led by 15 from Norton, 14 from Fulcher and 11 from Bryant.
Pfeiffer returns to the hardwood on Saturday starting a three-game road trip at Converse. Tip-off is set for 3:00 p.m. in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

If Bobby Dawson coaches in his 1,000th game at Lenoir Community College this season, his team will have had a fine run.
But that, with a smaller and totally revamped lineup, is a big 'if.'
The Lancers lost all five starters from a team that went 14-15, forcing Dawson to develop players and work toward the Region X tournament at the end of the season.
"Our main objective is to be, hopefully, ready in late February or March," said Dawson, who has a career record of 540-432 (.556) and can reach the millennium mark with a strong showing in the tournament. "That's what we're hoping for. If we can get these guys in position, I think some good things can happen for us. Because it's all about the tournament, man. That's what we're going to be dealing with."
Gone are power forward Trey Harris, center Tim Roberts and shooting guard Marquez Jones, all of them all-region performers last season. Jones, a Kinston High School product who finished 10th among the nation's NJCAA Div. II players with 23.7 points per game, now plays for Winston-Salem State.
Sophomore swingman Isaac Brown, a 6-foot-3-inch former Bethel Christian Academy star, is the team's top returner. The all-time leading scorer at Bethel, he averaged 4.5 points per game in reserve duty as a freshman at LCC.
Montique Allen, a 6-foot-4 forward, and the versatile Josh Hill, a 6-foot-3 former KHS student who didn't play basketball for the Vikings, join point guards Sharod Hines and Michael Tyson, a sophomore transfer from Chowan, as some of the team's most promising new faces.
Hill, who admits to attitude and disciplinary issues while at KHS, scored 23 points to lead the Lancers to an 87-82 season-opening victory over Tidewater on Friday. Brown chipped in 22 points.
Dawson said the level of LCC's success will depend upon how well the team is able to run the floor and avoid being trapped in the low post by taller players.
Brown called his second freshman year — he spent a year as a student at Livingstone College — "an OK season" but expressed optimism about the immediate future.
"(The team) is a lot smaller this year," Brown said. "But I think our heart's bigger this year, though. We've got some boys who are really willing to play."
Added Hill: "The only thing we have to do is just push the ball and just run, stick to the game plan Coach told us, basically."
Dawson, who is in his 36th season at the school and runs his team onto a home court named after him in 2011, plans to use all 14 players on his roster to keep legs fresh and opponents guessing.
The folksy, sharp-dressed, 64-year-old coach is optimistic, though cautiously so.
"We have some shooters, so I think that if we can get good shot selection and get back on defense and just play hard, I think some good things can happen with this group," Dawson, whose team visits Allen University in Columbia, S.C., today at 5 p.m., said. "But on paper, we're going to be the underdogs. You can't lose as much (personnel) as we lost."
LCC women
Injuries to his team last season could end up helping Tad Parson's outfit this time around.
Two of the Lenoir Community College women's top scorers went down with knee injuries, forcing Parson, now the Lancers' fourth-year coach, to improvise with freshmen.
The result was the unintended formation of experience on a team that lost four starters to graduation.
"We've got a solid foundation of sophomores coming back," Parson said. "They played a lot more than expected due to injuries."
LCC, which won its season opener 90-33 against overmatched Tidewater on Friday, hopes to use a balanced scoring attack to improve on last season's 7-15 record.
The sophomore guard tandem of Cana Marriott and Dominique Graham, who combined for 12.2 points per game last season, lead the Lancers' returning players.
Freshmen guards Harmony Simpkins, who is from Washington, N.C., and Enfield native Sekethia Williams had solid high school careers and should contribute. Parson expects 6-foot-2-inch center/forward Tameka Lewis, a sophomore transfer from Denmark Tech in South Carolina, to be a "big boost" in the post.
Parson, who also serves as an assistant for the men's team, believes the women should show improvement. They face Allen University in Columbia, S.C., today at 3 p.m.
"I think overall, we've got a better quality athlete," Parson said. "We can go a little bit deeper in our bench consistently. Hopefully, we'll do better. But just as we picked up some better talent, some of the other teams around the league have done so as well."

This newest build has rendered my server unusable. Everytime I start it up, I get the following error:
Unable to verify license key: License was not in a valid format
I have had a few of my buddies try to connect to it & have even tried connecting to it myself, none of which have succeeded since the last update.
I have tried fully uninstalling (clearing all files in the installation location & Documents and Settings folders) & reinstalling, but this did not correct the issue. I've even tried installing an older version of Cerberus FTP server; this did not work either.
What I find odd about this is that I was using it for personal use, so why exactly is it looking for a license key to begin with? Does your service not allow for personal use servers anymore? Or do we need to register regardless of whether it's for business and/or otherwise?
