Read on to watch live videos from headliners and find out why each one is worth digging out your wellies
Hylands Park, Chelmsford, Essex/Weston Park, Staffordshire; August 21-22
"Ohhh, it's so corporate! Ohhh, Hollyoaks people! Ohhh, Big Brother!" Oh, do FUCK OFF. If anybody says this to you about V, please respond with the following: "That's one of the most tedious, boring, lame things it's possible for a human being to say. Presumably you also think 'All politicians are liars' and 'the war was all about oil' and think Rupert Murdoch is the only company CEO who may not be a very nice man. V is actually great because there's loads of good headliners – Kings Of Leon, Kasabian, Jamie T, the Godlike Paul Weller, and a wealth of treats lower down the bill like La Roux, Florence + The Machine and Jamie T. Right? Good."

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
Brian Wolfe - The Natural
Pioneering Pro 5.0 Racer And Celebrated Ford Engineer Brian Wolfe Is Now In Charge Of Ford Racing
Horse Sense: Back in the day, Brian demonstrated his new Pro-shifted five-speed tranny by letting us take an easy run down the strip in his blue car. Sitting in the right seat, he said, "Yeah, it's so easy you can't miss a shift." Naturally that was our cue to immediately miss the next shift. Diplomatic as ever, Brian waved our faux pas aside, remarking on the difficulty of no-rhythm, slow runs such as the one we were on. A genuine gentleman, we've always appreciated Brian's accommodating manner and optimistic attitude.
From a business suit on the company plane, PDA in hand, to a plaid shirt in a backstreet machine shop schlepping around his own 302-that's Brian Wolfe, and now he's running Ford Racing. We're a lucky bunch for that turn of events.
We were doubly thrilled to learn Brian has been handed the Ford Racing steering wheel. Not only has Brian been a friend to this magazine for 18 years, starting in its Super Ford guise, but more importantly, Brian brings a rare authenticity to his office as head of Ford Racing Technology. After the variously skilled politicians and administrators who have occasionally had their run at Ford Racing, formerly Ford Special Vehicle Operations, we're excited to report this all-important position is held by someone who's the real deal.
It is important to note that Brian is a Ford man. Yes, it's a quaint notion in today's jaded world of instant e-allegiances, but it's an important indicator of the drive he brings to the job.
Brian grew up in Michigan, youngest of several sons in a household that held Henry Ford in high esteem. Working at Ford was a staple for Wolfe males, and Brian anticipated Blue Oval employment from his earliest thoughts. That employment came immediately out of college and is currently in its 26th uninterrupted year.
Starting in large trucks and moving to Engine Engineering, Brian has been able to track his way through Ford by sticking close to his first love: engines. First as a development and integration engineer and later through management in the electronics-intensive calibration field, his immersion in engine technology is encyclopedic.
To us at the magazine, the corporate side of Brian Wolfe has been the lesser seen part of his life. At the dragstrip, Brian is humble regarding his accomplishments, always one to brush aside any grandeur regarding his day job. He says, "Oh, just tell them I'm a dyno operator or something." Our view of Brian the company man is based on the collateral stuff accumulated by being around the company. Our first clue came when riding on the corporate plane with Brian: He was decked in an unfamiliar (to us) coat and tie, and attending to paper work and a meeting-filled schedule. At the company offices, we wandered past the Aston Martin V-12 in the lobby and through the cubicles in Advanced Engines to find his nearly corner office. We heard of his work in Europe from other Ford employees. Slowly we got the message that Brian was on his way up.
But really, to a magazine editor or a magazine-reading enthusiast in the '90s, Brian was a 5.0-liter pioneer and Pro 5.0 competitor. The first man in the 11s, 10s, and 9s with a naturally-aspirated injected 5.0, and later an 8-second dominator with nitrous in the days of iron cylinder heads, Brian's building, tuning, and driving credentials are solid gold. And yet the truth is, as important a role as Brian has played in Mustang drag racing, it is but a few lines on his still growing list of accomplishments.
Still, he and the electronically fuel-injected, 5.0-liter Mustang grew up together. For Brian, who thought he'd been born too late and missed the great '60s muscle-car era, the 5.0 provided the propulsion to an excitingly unforeseen performance renaissance. Ford-focused, powertrain-oriented, and with high-performance as his passion, Brian had the background, the drive and-through his Ford employment-the access to prototype parts and factory knowledge that helped make him a heavy-hitter in the developing 5.0 Mustang scene.

Girls, do other girls ever try to 'pu$$y block' you?
With guys, sometimes douches will try to c*ck block you. but do girls do this to other girls too?
Describe a time when this happened.
Most Helpful Opinion
Can't say that it has ever happened to me, but in retrospect I think I may have p*ssy blocked a girl I didn't even know. At the time she was totally infatuated with this guy I knew and we were all at the same party. I didn't know at the time she had been pressing hard that night to get together with the guy and I stepped in and took him to my place for a night of f*cking something we had done before. Had I realized at the time she wanted his penis that night I would have stayed away from him and hooked up elsewhere. I only found out later from friends what all had taken place that night.
What Girls Said 7
Its waayy common.. at least around me and my friends... one of my best friends and I were at a party and our other friend was getting railed by this guy on a bean-bag and we started asking her math questions the entire time! another example being me and my boyfriend showed up to his buddies house who just so happens to be dating my other best friend and I walked up to the bed room window, banged on it and yelled "guess what honey I'm home!" they get pissed but its hilarious! and they generally do it back haha
railed as in f***ing in front of everyone?
Well in the long run it would have eventually been a "pu$$y block" my ex best friend always had to know that the guy interested in me was also interested in her. She figured if he liked me then he would like her since she was prettier.. she would flirt her ass off and then be like "I wouldn't hurt you like that". but to answer your question hell yes
Damn, that's really messed up.
There was a time in college when a guy pulled me over to dance with him. Granted he was drunk and a bit aggressive and my friend butted in and pulled me away so he wouldn't talk to me. I was also at a club and another guy was talking to me who was drunk and my friend just pulled me away from him mid sentence.
I think with women, a p**** block is kind of a way for another woman to protect you from sleazy overly aggressive men. I guess if they are getting bad vibes and feel like a guy is pushing his boundaries then they'll step in. I personally won't even enter a club unless I know I have my girlfriends with me for protection.
I've even had this happen to me when I was sitting on a bench at the mall and this weirdo guy was trying to ask me out. A woman who I never met before started inching closer to me and didn't move until the guy felt awkward and left. She then told me that she wasn't going to leave until the guy left me alone. That was real sweet of her.
Well, enjoy spinsterhood!
I'm just curious but what exactly made that guy a weirdo? Was it that he wasn't good looking and he was awkwardly trying to hit on you?
I guess the way he approached me was VERY strange and out of the blue. He didn't try to ask for my name or start a conversation. He just kind of creeped up very close to me without warning and said I was attractive and asked me out in 5 seconds. There was no hello, how are you, how's the weather..blah blah blah. It kind of reminded me of a zombie trying to attack its prey. And when I said no thank you...he just up and walked away just as strangely as he arrived.
What Guys Said 2
Ohhh p***y blocking is a whole different kettle of fish! Because women are more scheming and manipulative.
The blocker will pretend that she is doing the blockee a favor, usually by making something up about the guy, "I've seen him around before [she hasn't]. He's a player/creep/got a girl pregnant/has crabs."
lol This is great and I think it's honestly true.
yep women take stuff like this to a whole new level...at least when a guy does it it's perfectly clear lol
Women do that all the time. That's why they bad mouth all over women, but especially their friends, in front of you. They try to make them less attractive to you by all means available. When a girl is interested in you, all other girls become a threat that need to be dealt with, even preemptively. If any other women start to flirt with you it will lead to a nuclear strike. Girls can be very very nasty to each other when they compete for a guy.
I realized how powerful that feeling is and now use it to my own advantage. Most girls are always being desired by a lot of guys, but the opposite is not true. Only a small fraction of guys are chased by girls. So it's amazingly powerful to have girls after you, it makes you an instant god, it's like the best aphrodisiac ever. And the best part is girls direct all their aggressivity toward p**** blocking the other women while being mega horny toward you.
Have an opinion?

Just want to confirm what really is the situation. I am planning to monitor 2 IPCAM with TS-212 and understand that should work without the need to purchase extra license.
What if I upgrade to firmware 3.7 (with Surveillance Station Pro) in the future, can it still support 2 IPCAM or do I need to pay for the 2 licence. According to the following link, Surveillance Station only comes with 1 IPCAM licence. Please confirm.

Plant/human symbiosis & the fall of humanity: Interview with Tony Wright (cont.)
Left in the Dark
Major shifts in perception can be accomplished relatively quickly by combining various techniques. It's straight forward: replace this plant bio- chemistry for the long term and diminish the influence of the left hemisphere while simultaneously engaging the right hemisphere. The trend is very consistent from those who've dabbled. The more one explores the more mind blowing and self-evident it becomes. Ultimately it comes down to a choice.
Look at the evidence, experiment and decide for yourself.
This only a glimpse at some of the supporting data. For more information see:
New book project
Terence McKenna ~"You must cut through the aura of programming and cultural assumptions that surround us from the moment we are able to speak. The only way this can be done is by dissolving the boundaries of ego. Ego is a structure that is erected by a neurotic individual who is a member of a neurotic culture against the facts of the matter. And culture, which we put on like an overcoat, is the collectivized consensus about what sort of neurotic behaviors are acceptable…
..The goal can now be stated. What this is all about is a return to archaism with the lessons learned in history. Thats where we were happy. The fall was a fall..Into a veil of tears..Into a world of limitation, pain, suffering, infectious disease and so forth and so on. It's a prodigal journey into a lower dimension that can now be ended by a collective cultural decision to commit to this Taoist shamanistic feminized cybernetic caring aware present kind of being."

I made the Vegan Turkey Loaf from The Vegan Family Cookbook. It is also on the membership side of Everyday Dish.
Overall, I really liked it. The flavor is perfect for a faux turkey and the texture came out great. I will be trying it in sandwiches for lunch today. I tried both thin and thick slices and the thin slices win out.
Even A loved it! So that is saying alot and makes it worth cooking again.
My only complaint is that it was a bit dry, but if I remember correctly, so is real turkey. I meant to make a brown gravy to go with it, but I forgot until it was too late, so next time I will definitely make some.
I will making this on a regular basis and will probably use the thin slices for sandwiches for the kids school lunches.

Lokoja — The Kogi State government spends an average of N6.4 million on printing the state owned weekly newspaper, the Graphic, the Commissioner of Information, Alhaji Yabagi Bologi, has said.
The commissioner, who disclosed this in Lokoja at the weekend during an interactive session with the correspondent chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalist, said the paper would finance itself from January 2013.
He said the state government was spending an average of N6.4 million yearly on the printing of the paper, which according to him was currently being printed by the Nigerian Tribune in Ibadan.
Alhaji Yabagi said with the increasing financial burden confronting the state, it would be difficult to continue financing the paper, especially as according to him, the paper was not contributing to the state internally generated revenue. He called on the management to come up with alternative ways of sourcing for fund.
He said the government has already mapped out work plans for accelerated development of the state, adding that the government was distracted by series of legal battles and the recent flood disaster.
Bologi called on the people to be patient with the government, saying that as from next year, they will witness infrastructural development.

Child-care provider arrested after leaving two young children alone in vehicle
MELVILLE - Suffolk County Police today arrested an Amityville child-care provider that left two young girls, ages 8 months and 4 years, unattended in a locked vehicle in Melville Monday afternoon.
A witness noticed two young children alone in the backseat of an SUV that was parked in the Costco parking lot located at 625 Broadhollow Road, Melville, at 2:10 p.m. The good samaritan unlocked a door through an open window and took the girls, including the infant who was not in a proper child restraint seat, into the store for safety.
It appears that the girls, who were not injured, were in the unattended vehicle a minimum of 10 minutes before they were found.
Bridget Erwat, 49, of 26 Ira Court, Amityville, was arrested and charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Erwat, who operates Bridget's Children's Place out of her home, posted bail and will be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip at a later date. A notification was made to the Suffolk County Department of Social Services Child Protective Services Bureau.

Christian Fellowship
"That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving..." Psalm 26:7
Vol. 19, No. 7 July 2010
There is still nothing more fulfilling than hearing the Lord speak and give you answers to your concerns. It is not easy. It takes time and patience and tuning in to that still small voice. But then something happens. When you know it is the Lord, every other voice will come in and try to drown His voice out and cause you to doubt. Don't let that happen. Know the joyful sound! Don't forget it. Hold on to it tightly. It will continue to encourage you and keep you on the right track.
But what about when people don't understand you? All you have to do is hear and obey. Then let the Lord do the rest. Remember, His ways are not our ways.
Isa 55:8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD."
He knows exactly what He is talking about, so watch Him bring it to pass. Time is our enemy, but not His. Let Him have His way in bringing to pass what He wants the way He wants to do it. As I said, just knowing you are hearing is enough for me. For then, I know I am His sheep and He is leading me and in control of it all.
In Christ,
Pr. Steve
Luk 12:3 KJV "Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops."
It is a fact of life that self-seeking people will seek to betray those more honorable than themselves. They will act deceitfully so they can to get what they want. Absalom is a biblical example of such action.
We are now in a time nationally when this sin is taking place. But we are also at a time spiritually when God is exposing the darkness in each of us. Nothing is kept in the dark any longer. Some of you are afraid of that darkness because of what might come out. But it is time to stop hiding what God is trying to reveal so you can be set free. God is a God of deliverance, not one of hardship because of your hidden agendas.
Joh 3:20-21 KJV "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. (21) But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
People who lie and manipulate do so under the cover of darkness. God is bringing everything into the light so there will be no excuse for our actions. There is coming a day when every person's life will be manfest to see what is of God and what is not of God.
It is too easy to become cynical of all the political lies so that we don't want to trust anyone with our lives. The enemy wants us to keep hidden the areas that tend to harm us. We have seen and experienced injustice at every turn. But the Bible clearly indicates it will all be exposed. The world is a playground for the devil and his demons. The only reason Jesus Christ permits it to continue is to raise up the overcomers who will grow in righteousness so they can govern the world with Christ.
In the meantime, people from every walk of life are being taken into the spirit world where they have neither riches nor poverty. They bring with them only their reputations – a record of what they did while living on the earth.
The Lord wants to set you free from any bondage that could go with you into life or death. You do not want to pass from this life in the same bondage you lived with while on the earth. If you are unfaithful now, you will be unfaithful in the next life. If you are a liar now, when you go into the next life, you may very well still be bound with a spirit of lying; but you won't be able to deceive anyone any longer.
Books have been written that tell of visions people have had about the afterlife. Most accounts are similar in that people are chained to their behaviors, but the only thing they can do is curse or be cursed. They can no longer act upon their behavior.
There are many movies today about how people trick others to get what they want. The plot is based upon how people respond to the trickery or deceit. This is the way of life for us as believers. We experience certain situations to see what we will do under temptation or some other kind of pressure. Will we abandon our integrity and trust God, or will we take upon ourselves what we deem best without seeking God's approval? When we pass into the next life, we will discover all the times we were tricked or deceived. We will discover all the times the Lord gave us a way out of our selfishness, but we voted against it. [Can you imagine those who have had an affair to get who they want because they didn't like their current situation? But one day they pass into the next life only to discover what they had given up and then they have nothing.]
Colossian 3:1 tells us those who live as being crucified with Christ and risen with Christ will be taken to God's right hand upon death. Can you imagine your thoughts and feelings standing before God Almighty as your dark side is revealed? I believe His presence would burn you alive. But God wants to deal with your dark side today while you are alive. He wants to judge you and change you now; and if you give Him the opportunity, then you need fear nothing, either now and on that day. Once we are delivered from the hidden agendas of our heart we have nothing to fear and we can proclaim our freedom upon the housetops.
Luk 11:32 KJV "The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here."
Have you ever thought about the above prophecy? We usually think of God being the one who judges us. But this verse states that other people and nations will be involved in the act of judging. It is as though the human race will be brought together in the work of judgment so everyone can witness the justice of God.
Today, we haven't any clue about God's judgment. While the false prophets keep saying, "God isn't judging us," the godly prophets are proclaiming His coming judgment upon the housetops. But how many are listening? The purpose of accepting and following Jesus Christ is not to escape an evaluation of our life. Rather, it is for the purpose of receiving a pardon for our past sins so we can gain the virtue, power and wisdom that comes by knowing Christ alone and which change us into new creations who are delivered today!
Don't be deceived. God is not mocked, whatever you sow, you also reap. But if we are truly repenting, taking up our crosses and following Jesus, God continues to forgive us our sins while He leads us into a life change that is lasting. We may suffer for a while because of what we have done, but the spirit realm recognizes we have repented and turned away from ungodliness so we don't have to worry about their opinion. God will spare us in the day of wrath.
But if we do not live a life of repentance and if we neglect our crosses and if we refuse to follow Jesus His way, we have something to be concerned with. God demands change. If He does not see it, all we have done in this life is worthless.
1Ti 5:24 KJV "Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after."
I'm not sure what the above means. Perhaps it means if we keep putting off the time of deliverance we will regret it more severely in that day. None of us knows when our time will come. We read about accidents or disease every day. None of us is promised another day.
1Co 3:13 KJV "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is."
"The day shall declare it…" We are in the day in which our works are being tested. What we have done in cooperation with the Spirit of God will withstand the fire. But that which we did out of our own enthusiasm or self-will cannot endure the fire. [Remember, Jesus said, "Get away from me you who are unrighteous. I don't care what you did in my name, I don't know you."] This is an important word for us today. We in America evaluate Christian ministry in terms of numbers. Consequently, those who are gifted in showmanship gather the people while those who follow the Lord suffer greatly at times. We judge the former as successful and even want our children to be a part of them while they cast out their deceptive practices bringing multitudes down with them. [Yes, it is easy to get lost in a crowd. But there, you will never be confronted with the hidden agendas of your own heart.]
Luk 13:26-27 KJV "Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. (27) But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity."
Is Christ impressed with our success or with our faithfulness? If we do not walk with God in a manner of integrity and faithfulness, all that we have ever done profits us nothing in the Kingdom of God. Too many times we hold on to unscriptural values. We need to surrender these wrong priorities before we stand before our Creator.
All of our heart will be brought into the light at the coming of the Lord. Our motives will either praise or condemn us.
If we believe the glory of God is going to break forth upon His church, we need to understand that transformation must first take place; for God's glory will destroy that which is not fireproof. We must be seen as those who are utterly faithful to the Lord and who were willing to lay down their lives for the gospel's sake so that others might be brought into the Kingdom of God.
Now is the time to turn away from all forms of filthy or ungodly behavior and seek the Lord.
Don't let Christian "religion" become an alternative to a life of godly integrity and honor. Our Christian salvation is a gift from God that cannot be taken lightly. Live righteously before people, and they will glorify God with you.
-Pr. Steve
Time Away With God
In today's society it is incredibly easy to get caught up in the fast pace of living that has been made available through technological increases and inventions that allow mass availability. For example: Travel is faster, therefore allowing us to go and to do more than any one person should ever want to do. Computers allow us to shop anywhere, view anything, and contact people anywhere on the planet. Cell phones make communications available 24 hours a day. Televisions can supply us with over 500 stations to watch any hour of the day, and rental DVD's are available 24-7 at the local fast food establishments. These are only a few of the things that consume the time and minds of many Christians here in the USA.
(Mat 14:13-23 KJV) "When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. (14) And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. (15) And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. (16) But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. (17) And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. (18) He said, Bring them hither to me. (19) And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. (20) And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. (21) And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. (22) And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. (23) And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone."
In the above portion of scripture, we twice read that Jesus prioritized getting away from the pressing busyness. He knew that He could not allow Himself to be ruled by surrounding circumstances, He needed to keep a clear and open line to the will of God the Father. Jesus always led by example, and yet His disciples were slow to learn. They tried to get Him to eat when His food was to do the will of the Father. They tried to coax Him to save Himself when He spoke of laying down His life. The disciples should have realized that they would not be able to do the will of the Father unless they followed Jesus' examples. For instance, in the Garden of Gethsemane, the disciples were supposed to be praying, but they were overcome with dread and slept instead. Jesus warned them that they needed to be strengthened by communication with the Father so that they would be able to overcome temptation, but they slept on and abandoned Jesus when His dark hour came.
As Christians we must realize that it is important for us to maintain the discipline of having a sound mind. If we find that we are losing internal mind battles and our conversations are tainted because of the spiritual deprivation in our hearts, we must quickly seek God to bring our lives into proper order or we will fall. If you were driving in a car and you realized you were speeding towards a cliff, wouldn't you slam on the brakes?
"If people would only put the brakes on their speeding minds, not only would their mind find rest, but it would be more receptive to divine Grace. Without divine illu mination, knowledge ends in disaster. Those who strive and labor for their spiritual life have their mind illumined by God; they receive divine illumination, divine experiences, and these give them foresight, so that they don't see things only through their own understanding" (Author Unknown).
This divine illumination is the "make it or break it" of our fulfilling the will of God for our lives as well as the only way to gain revelation for reaching out to others by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
(Psa 51:11-13 KJV) "(11) Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. (12) Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. (13) Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee."
It is time to seek the Lord. We cannot let anything hinder us from getting away with the Lord, because it is in repentance and rest that we will find restoration.
(Isa 40:31 KJV) "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

I am going to be sharing with you thoughts from my journal over the past few years. This is to show you how the Lord has brought about His Word in my life to minister to you and to show you how real this walk can be. Please read and understand by the Spirit about ...
Jul 1: 'That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering.'
Jul. 2: "We have renounced the hidden things of deceit and wickedness."
Jul. 3: "The Kingdom of God comes with a great intensity and ardent fervor for those who want it." (Matt. 11:12)
Jul. 4: "The continual sacrifices that you offer to Me are recognized and are significant in finding the good, pleasing and perfect will that I have for your life."
Jul. 6: "You are sanctified through the truth. All things are sanctified by the Word and prayer and you are cleansed through the Word spoken to you."
Jul. 8: "Relationship is built on trust. If you trust Me, I will work it out."
Jul. 9: "I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for – believe that you have received them and you will have them. If you stand praying and have anything against anyone, forgive him so your Father in Heaven will also forgive your wrongdoing. If you don't forgive neither will your Father in Heaven forgive your wrong doing."
Jul. 15: "The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear?" (Pro. 18:14)
Jul. 20: "Do not concern yourself with the carnal things of life. You are preparing a way for Me to come. And I will come. In order to be ready, follow My Spirit and be not concerned about the things of man. You are losing your life so you can find My life in you."
Jul. 25: "Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak. O Lord, heal me for my bones are in agony and my soul is in agony. How long O Lord? Return, O Lord, deliver my soul; save me for thy mercies sake." (Psm 6:3-4)
Jul. 27: "You are going to know what to do at the right time."
Jul. 30: "Guard me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings."
Jul. 31: "Get ready! You will know the I AM in this!"
What would you do?
What would you do?....you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line, there isn't one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?
At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:
"When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?"
The audience was stilled by the query.
The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.' Then he told the following story:
Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps. I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning…'
Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted.
In the bottom of the eighth inning,Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact.
The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates.
Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first!
Run to first!'
Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled. Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!'
Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball; the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team.
He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head.
Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.
All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay.'
Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third!
Shay, run to third!'
As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!'
Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team.
'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.
Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!
What is it?????
Community of Youth who attend any type of church or who don't attend church from any city or state.
A place where truth is taught and learned
Relationships are developed
A safe refuge
A place to develop callings
Where we will be Serving & reaching out to a broken world
A place to worship together
We, Youth United together are breaking down religious barriers and walls that have kept the "church" crippled and not operating as the " Body" of Christ.
Jesus prayed John 17:23 "I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me"
We must declare it to the next Generation! Psalm 78: 1Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth 2I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.4We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 5For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 6That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: 7That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
Youth United has developed small groups where youth can get involved.
These groups are: Outdoors, Dance, Drama, Missions, Music/Singing, Teaching/prayer.
Youth United had their first event on June 11th at 8pm at LWCF.
The youth participated in fun ice breaker games, a time of praise & worship, and then hung out with the other Youth and developed new relationships.
Here are some pictures.

It's a fully loaded Aussie sedan for people who always wished the Camaro came with four doors instead of two.
You'll enjoy the sounds of a 415-horsepower Corvette-based LS3 V8 . . . the 2013 Corvette, that is, and not the current one; after a year of waiting, a six-speed manual transmission is available.
The SS's lineage is an interesting one. The sedan is constructed at GM's Australian facility where for years it has worn the Holden Commodore badge. During the 2008 and '09 model years, GM shipped the car to North America dressed up as the Pontiac G8. When the brand was cashiered in 2009, the G8 was also history, or so we thought. The car returned for 2013 as the Chevrolet Caprice Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV), which was a significant hint that the Holden/Pontiac/Chevrolet would soon be made fit for civilian duty. To fulfill the performance image for the street, the SS's running gear consists of a 415-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 that's found in the current Camaro and in pre-2014 Corvettes. And while the original year was only mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, Chevrolet has finally delivered: a six-speed-manual gearbox is available for 2015. Chevrolet claims the SS will nail the 60-mph mark from rest in the five-second range, which is quick for any 4,000-pound chariot. For stopping the SS, Chevrolet has installed a set of beefy Brembo-brand brakes — including the rears for 2015 — that are only partially hidden behind a 19-inch wheel-and-extra-wide-tire package. Other performance enhancements include adopting Chevrolet's magnetic ride control, the fantastic active shock absorbers found in a bunch of hot Cadillacs, Corvettes and Camaros. Concurrent with its race-bred leanings, the SS also doubles as a stellar luxury-car performer. The standard-equipment list encompasses a leather interior with eight-way adjustable and ventilated sport bucket seats, dual-zone climate control, navigation, keyless push-button and remote start, alloy pedals and a 220-watt Bose-brand audio system. Along with 10 standard airbags, you can count on blind-spot and cross-traffic alerts (the latter being most helpful when backing out of a tight parking spot) and super-bright xenon headlamps. In fact, about the only option offered to SS buyers is a power sunroof, which likely makes the SS the only GM vehicle in recorded history to offer such a meager extra-cost list.

A 60-hour journey from their conflict-torn homeland did not end happily for Libya as they lost 4-2 to South Africa today in a 2012 London Olympics qualifier. But the outcome could have been worse for the North Africans as they trailed by four goals midway through the second half at Sinaba Stadium in Daveyton township 50 kilometres east of Johannesburg.
An own goal conceded under no pressure and a late Sami al-Ghulla goal left the Libyans with some hope ahead of the second round return match over the weekend of 8-10 April at a venue to be announced. With the ongoing conflict in the state it could mean a switch to Mali capital Bamako where the Libyan senior team will play a 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Comoros Islands tomorrow.
Al-Ittihad will also use Bamako next weekend for an CAF African Champions League second round fixture against JC Abidjan of Côte D'Ivoire in a tie reduced to a single match for security reasons.
Libya coach Branko Smiljanic his 16-man squad endured a two-and-a-half-day journey from Tripoli to Johannesburg by road and air via Tunisia and Europe. "South Africa have a very good team but the late goals offer us a slight chance of overtaking them when we meet again. Our concentration levels were very poor in the early stages," admitted the Serb.
"Libyan league football has been suspended and this obviously had a big effect on our performance. South Africa made us run a lot and that tired my players who were not at peak fitness."
Rival coach Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba, who led South Africa to their only Olympics appearance 11 years ago, was furious with his team for relaxing after building a commanding advantage in cool, overcast conditions.
"We should have scored eight goals against this team. We lacked intelligence when leading by four goals and our attitude was bad. Scoring four goals went to our heads and now we face a difficult task," he conceded.
The North Africans need to win the second leg 2-0 or 3-1 to qualify on the away-goal rule while a 4-2 victory would force the tie to a penalty shootout.
Bongani Ndulula, Themba Zwane, Phumelele Bhengu and Mandla Masango scored for South Africa before a Ramahlwe Mphahlele own goal and a close-range al-Ghulla shot brought Libya back into contention for a last-16 place.

« German Biomethane Programs Expanding | Main | EU Leaders Agree on Renewables, Biofuel Mandates and Greenhouse Gas Reductions »
ORYXE Energy Biodiesel Additive Certified for TxLED
9 March 2007
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has approved ORYXE International's biodiesel fuel additive—ORYXE LED for Biodiesel—for use in the state.
Test results from a B20 biodiesel blend, submitted to the TCEQ, show that the additive reduces the NOx emissions from biodiesel to the level required to qualify as Texas Low Emission Diesel (TxLED). The ORYXE Energy technology is the first additive for biodiesel to win approval from the state of Texas.
According to ORYXE, the proprietary ingredient in the biodiesel additive is biodegradable, non-toxic and compatible with fossil fuels.
The emissions tests that supported the approval under the TxLED program were conducted at West Virginia University Engine and Emissions Research Laboratory, an EPA-recognized facility, and were funded in part by the state of Texas through a grant from the TCEQ.
The TxLED program was launched in November of 2005 to reduce NOx emissions from diesel exhaust in 110 counties, including the metropolitan areas of Houston, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin and San Antonio. TCEQ has in the past proposed bans on biodiesel blends due to concerns over an increase in NOx emissions it associates with biodiesel use. (Earlier post.)
TCEQ bases its stance largely on a 2002 EPA report showing a two-percent increase in NOx emissions for B20. However, a recent study by the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) concluded that vehicles using a B20 biodiesel blend (20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel) do not produce an increase in nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. (Earlier post.)
The test results on the ORYXE additive at WVU showed a 3.8% increase in NOx from the addition of 20% biodiesel to standard EPA diesel. Use of the additive brought NOx emissions closer to the base fuel level, although not quite equivalent.

|Base fuel average
Texas is one of the largest biodiesel producers in the nation with 15 existing commercial production plants and several more under construction. According to the National Biodiesel Board, the state's total annual production capacity will double in 2007 to approximately 250 million gallons.
ORYXE Energy also produces an additive for standard diesel at its blending facility in Pasadena, Texas.

This is good news. Hopefully this type of Work on making Biodiesel have no downside will only further promote the fuel. Sure would be nice to see 5% BioDiesel (B5) as the standard diesel fuel nationwide in the next few years.
There is another new fuel additive that is pretty amazing. Increases MPG's and lowers emissions.

Great news indeed!

My Dog's Name
Pharaoh Hound/Shepherd Mix
How I Started Walking With My Dog
I am an avid walker, but find myself less than eager to walk during Wisconsin's long winter months. So after much research I adopted my walking partner from a no kill shelter specifically to give him a forever home and as a walking companion for me. He is a great motivator. He is always ready to go with his tail wagging.
We worked slowly and he is now built up to 5 miles most days. We aim for about 25 to 35 miles per week. Zak has been with me for the past 5 months and this is the most active I have been in winter since I was a teenager. Zack is almost 2 years old and I am 56.
The Best Thing About Walking with My Dog
He always looks back to check if I am still there.
He is infinitely patient and trot along with what looks like a smile on his face.
Zak will say hello in his own way to everyone he meets. Most people loves him right back.
Lessons Learned
- A dog loves you no matter how sweaty you are.
- Having a dog motivates you to drag yourself out of bed because the dog is telling you it's time to get up and take him out and you made a promise to do that.
- I feel energize all day after a brisk walk in the morning.
- I sleep better at night after an early evening walk.

Introduced in late 2004 as the world's first road-going billet or forged MonoBlock caliper, Baer's 6S was an instant success. Offering the technology other caliper manufacturers reserve strictly for their ultra high-end racing (read "costly") efforts, the Baer 6S represents the current ultimate performance answer for road use. These calipers, although available separately, are found within every Baer Claw(R) EXTREME-PLUS full brake conversion (axle sets, with 14" rotors, pads, hoses, brackets, specialty hardware) at a price point most often less than that charged by other premium caliper manufacturers for a single billet or forged aluminum MonoBlock!Demand exceeded capacity throughout 2005 and many customers were subjected to waiting six months and more to take delivery. In response Baer brought new equipment online in October, quadrupling output without compromising quality. New orders for systems are now being shipped within about 10 days... 6-pistons, no waiting!

Classic Performance Products Big Brake Kits
Classic Performance Products introduces its own line of Big Brake kits, 13" front disc and 12" rear disc. CPP's front system uses a 13" cross-drilled, gas slotted and zinc washed rotor mounted to a 2024 T6 billet aluminum CNC machined anodized hub and a PBR C15 caliper that attaches to the spindle with CPP custom caliper mounting brackets. PBR C15 calipers have twin 52mm pistons and a larger brake pad surface area that offers about 60% more stopping power in the caliper than the popular C5 caliper at half the cost. A CPP rear system uses a 12" cross-drilled, gas slotted and zinc washed rotor that mounts to the factory axle with the longer studs supplied and mates up to a Lincoln Continental emergency brake style caliper mounted to the rear axle housing with a CPP custom caliper mounting bracket. Classic Performance kits include all the bearings, seals, dust caps, brackets, cables, hoses, clips, instructions and necessary hardware to assure a hassle free installation. CPP Big Brakes are available in front or rear kits and as shown above as a complete front and rear kit. Front and rear kits also include a 4-wheel disc manual/power brake master cylinder and proportioning valve kit.
These Big Brake kits are available for 1955-70 Chevy Fullsize, 1962-74 GM Nova, 1967-68 GM Camaro and 1964-72 GM Chevelle. The kit requires a 17" or larger wheels (easy-to-use wheel template available). Works with stock drum or disc brake spindles and CPP's #CP30100 or #CP30101 drop spindles.
For more information and a copy of their latest product catalog, contact CPP at (714) 522-2000. Or www.classicperform.com
All the hubs, rotors and brackets in our brake kits are manufactured by Chassisworks and will fit most 15" wheels. Silver-anodized, billet aluminum hubs are machined to accept the 1/2x3" wheel studs in both 4-1/2" and 4-3/4" bolt circles. Screw-on dust caps are included. For vehicles under 2400 lbs., our light-duty kit features billet, two-piston Wilwood calipers with solid, 10"-diameter, 3/8"-thick rotors. Our medium-duty kit (shown), for vehicles up to 2900 lbs., uses four-piston Wilwood calipers and solid rotors measuring 11-3/4x3/8". (These solid rotors are available with optional slots which lighten the rotor and wipe the pads, for better braking.) For vehicles up to 3400 lbs., our heavy-duty uses four-piston Wilwood calipers with 11-3/4x.810"-thick rotors. Recently, Chassisworks expanded its front-brake kits to fit 1971-80 Pinto/Mustang II; '67-69 Camaro; '64-72 Chevelle; and '64-74 Nova. Light-duty kits are intended for lightweight vehicles equipped with parachutes. Medium-duty kits are for heavier drag-race vehicles.These kits provide substantially more braking than factory front disc brakes, while saving up to 50 lbs. Our large, 11-3/4" rotors with four pistoncalipers are ideal for heavier drag cars with OEM spindles. These kits also work well on small-tire "Street Shootout" cars. Heavy-duty kits offer additional braking combined with vented rotors to stop the heaviest drag and street machines. Chris Alston Chassis Works, 8661 Younger Creek Dr., Dept. SC, Sacramento, CA 95828, 916-388-0288, www.cachassisworks.com.

CPP's New Master Cylinder Receives Top Honors
After years of solving brake problems and installation issues, Classic Performance Products has developed a solution -- the MCPV-1. Combining all of the key components of the brake system into an attractive lightweight (5 lbs.) package, the MCPV-1 should be the heart of all modern brake systems. We must have done something right!

Let's Stir Up A Little Friction!
The NEW Baer Sport-Touring Brake Pad Program is a collaboration with OE supplier Roulunds Braking and features a full compliment of popular applications. Coverage ranges from Sport Compact and Sedan to full-on Sports and Muscle Cars as well as strong coverage in SUV and truck applications up through 1-ton.
All benefit from the technology Roulunds has developed for use at the OEM level, adding a couple extra points of friction consistent with Baer's requirements. The Sport-Touring compound delivers an exceptional marriage of sharp onset and easily-modulated brake torque with virtually quiet operation. Composed of a ceramic matrix, the Roulund-produced, Baer-exclusive pads are both rotor friendly while producing the lowest dust for any high-friction pad Baer has found to date.
Packaged with all pertinent small hardware and priced similarly to that of OE pads with substantially less friction, the only question you need to ask is, "your pad or mine?" Baer Brake Systems, 3108 W. Thomas Rd. Suite 1201, Dept. SC, Phoenix, AZ 85017, 602-233-1411, www.baer.com.
Wilwood's Aluminum Master Cylinder
Wilwood's new Aluminum Tandem Master Cylinder features great looks and outstanding performance in a high-pressure die cast design that is lightweight and durable enough for competition.
Available in either 1.00" or 1.125" bore sizes to match the volume and pressure requirements of virtually every application; each master cylinder is configured with full separation between the front and rear reservoir chambers and fluid outlets. Pressure access is on both sides of the piston bore for right or left hand plumbing to ease installation in any mount location.
The mounting flange is slotted for easy bolt-on installation on many OE mounts, including Chrysler, Corvette, GM and Ford bolt patterns. The body also incorporates two through-hole mounts for side mounting to frame members.
A black anodized, machined billet aluminum cap retains a pressure balance between the chambers with a full bellows gasket for 100% sealing against moisture or fluid leakage. The features incorporated in this innovative design make it the perfect choice for a wide range of custom manual or power brake applications. You'll find more information available at Wilwood Engineering, 4700 Calle Bolero, Dept. SC, Camarillo, CA 93012, 805-388-1188, www.wilwood.com.
When "Bigger is Better" Gets Out of Hand...
Wheels for late-model truck and SUV applications keep getting bigger, and there is literally no end in site. Although eye-catching, these big hoops are increasingly at the center of consumer attention as they definitely compromise the brake performance even as they increase the bling appeal.
Baer's EradiSpeed-Plus-One upgrades for pickup and SUV applications provide a welcome and affordable answer to offset lost brake effectiveness. With all popular GM late-model 1/2-ton applications, as well as Ford F-150 2004-up, the ES+1 upgrades come complete with new caliper-anchor brackets, as well as oversized rotors (14" for GMT800, 15" GMT900 and F-150) and installation is easy; you don't even have to bleed the brakes.In independent testing, the GMT800 Escalade application equipped with 22" wheels improved 60-0 distance on an average of over 20 feet and over 80 feet from 90-mph. So if your modifications have overpowered your brakes... EradiSpeed-Plus-One can provide a "helping hand!" Baer Brake Systems, 3108 W. Thomas Rd. Suite 1201, Dept. SC, Phoenix, AZ 85017, 602-233-1411, www.baer.com.

Full text not available from this repository.
We present a new batch learning algorithm for text classification in the vector space of document representations. The algorithm uses ellipsoid separation in the feature space which leads to a semidefinite program. An approximation of the latent semantic feature extraction approach using Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization is used for the feature extraction. Preliminary results demonstrate some potential for the presented approach

Who can have a Colorado River water delivery contract?
Anyone can request a Colorado River water delivery contract, but virtually all Colorado River water available for continuing long-term use in Arizona, California, and Nevada is already committed and/or placed under permanent contract.
A small amount of water apportioned to Arizona has not been committed but has been requested by prospective water users. The State is considering how that water should be put to beneficial use.
In California, some water is available through the Lower Colorado River Water Supply Project (LCWSP) for domestic use purposes. For more information about the LCWSP and the process to obtain a subcontract for LCWSP water, refer to the Colorado River Board of California's website at: crb.ca.gov/documents.html.
Nevada's Colorado River water allocation has been fully committed.

A million dollar 500 square foot hovel
It's off the market now, but this little gem was on for sale as recently as this summer for $1,199,000.
Sure it has a stellar location in Montecito, California with over and acre of property. And it even has a historic pedigree – being hand-built and originally owned by members of the Bohemian Mountain Drive Artist Colony. But $1.2 million for a brick hut?
Heck ya, look at this sweet thing!
Melissa's little sunburst house
Today I am featuring a very special house. Melissa's 500 square foot house in Denver, Colorado may be small in stature but it is loaded with family history and precious memories. You see, it has been in her family since the 1930's.
I first saw Melissa's house featured on the Tiny House Blog and was instantly smitten with the cute 1916 cottage and the fact that Melissa inherited it from her grandmother. I contacted Melissa and asked her for more information. She not only had an amazing story to share, she had old family photos of the home.
I'll let Melissa tell the house's story in her own words…
Located in Denver, CO my house has so much rich family history! My grandparents moved into the house in 1936. They came from Corsica, SD and picked Colorado because the doctor said the climate would be good for my grandfather's asthma. They moved with my grandma's two sisters, and my uncle, who was an infant at them time. My Grandmother was also pregnant with their second child.
Previous to them moving in, the house only had 2 owners that I know of – the original builder and a lady who bought the house for rental property. Even that must be an interesting story – a lady in the early 30's owning property all around the Denver area as rental income! As far as I could tell she did not live in the house. My grandmother would tell me stories about how dirty the house was when they moved in. I guess no one had lived in it for a while! They quickly made it a home and began farming all the land around it. At the time, the railroad owned the land to the south and up until the early 80's they ran trains.
