But the women arrived to see that the huge stone had been rolled away from the entrance, and the tomb was empty. "The burial cloth was simply lying there on the place where they had laid the body," McBrien said.
The immediate reaction was panic and concern that someone had taken Jesus' body. But what happened next stunned the women, according to the Gospels. "They see an angelic apparition in the tomb who informs them that Jesus of Nazareth has risen from the dead, and they are absolutely unraveled by this. Filled with trembling and fear, they flee from the tomb," Craig said.
"And then the word begins to spread," said Strobel. "The women have discovered the tomb empty. That's impossible. How could it be? He's resurrected? That's absurd!"
The story of Easter Sunday has been retold for two millenniums. "It is the pivotal event of all history. History is broken into two parts -- a faith has gone around the planet. Billions of people are followers of Jesus, down through history, as a result of this story from the first century," Strobel said.
For centuries Christians have believed that Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the place where Jesus was buried and rose from the dead.
But nearly every single detail of the Easter story remains a question of debate. Among them : Was the tomb really empty? And even more basic: Was Jesus was ever buried in the first place?
"Most people who were crucified were probably put into large burial pits," said Kathleen Corley of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
This has led a number of scholars to question the whole account of Jesus' burial -- as perhaps made up by the Gospel writers later on.
"I think they were unsuccessful in finding the location of his body, because I think Jesus was probably buried in a criminal's grave that would have been a large pit for a large number of people," Corley said.
But Jewish scholars also familiar with first-century history say it's very feasible that the Romans permitted Jesus' followers to bury him. "I'm not sure that we can settle any of these questions with the sort of certainty we would like. I don't see any reason to doubt the Gospel tradition," said Baumgarten.
Daniel Schwartz, a professor of history at Jerusalem's Hebrew University, said it rings true to him that Jesus could have been removed from the cross and buried by his followers. "I think that there's plenty of precedent, plenty of evidence for people who were crucified and buried," he said.
It would be easy enough to prove Jesus had a tomb, if anyone could say for sure where it was. But the early Christians didn't seem to have marked the spot. Two shrines in Jerusalem are said to be the location -- the large, often-visited Church of the Holy Sepulchre and a site called the Garden Tomb just down the road from the church. The Garden Tomb was discovered only in the 1850s.
Ken Trestrail, a guide at the Garden Tomb, said it is believed to be the site where Joseph of Arimathea had a garden.
The only thing the Bible really tells us about the location of Jesus' tomb is that it was close to the place of the crucifixion, Golgotha. But it gives no information about where Golgotha, which means "place of a skull," actually was.

College baseball: Seminoles hold off UCF 5-4
What started as an old fashion pitcher's duel finished with some ninth inning fireworks as No. 8 Florida State (38-9) capped off a ninth-inning rally with a walk-off RBI single to straight away centerfield by Stephen McGee as the Seminole defeated No. 30 UCF (26-22) 5-4 on Sunday afternoon on Mike Martin Field inside Dick Howser Stadium.
After giving up two unearned runs in the top of the ninth and trailing 4-2, the Seminoles got the bottom of the inning off to a good start when Jose Brizuela and Jameis Winston drew back-to-back walks.
Pinch hitter Casey Smit drilled a double off the fence in right to plate Brizuela and Lincoln Park Academy graduate Giovanny Alfonzo was intentionally walked to load the bases. Seth Miller brought home Winston to tie the game at 4-4 and after intentional walk, McGee took a 2-0 pitch and drilled it to no man's land in straight away center to give FSU the come-from-behind victory.
"It was awesome," McGee said. "Once I saw Casey's hit, I was saying to myself, 'just get me up, just give me that chance, I want to do it.' I really wanted it to happen and when it did I was really happy. I just wanted to see a pitch that I could put to the outfield."

having freedom to do whatever one wants doesn't constitute a sandbox. If you want to/have to be literal then let's go there...
In a real sandbox (with sand) any structure you make is subject to collapsing at a moment's notice. You are also limited to how large/high you can build due to the properties of sand. There is no "power" in a sandbox so no lights or motors or "whatever".
You have limited space in a sandbox. you can only go "so deep" in a sandbox.
allowing players to do whatever they want whatever they want is just bad design. This goes back to desing itself. Throwing every idea that you can conceive into a game pretty much makes a mess. Giving restrictions and then allowing participants to work within those restrictions is more freeing because it allows for a "spine" of ideas from which to work from.

There are always limits - just like an actual sandbox.

Are the playes who want to play in a virtual world different from the players who want to play in a sandbox?
if a virtual world and a sandbox aren't one in the same do the "sandboxers" realize this? do they agree?
And if they are completely different and those who only want to play sandbox games were to hypothetically agree then does the group suddenly become even smaller?
If one is to say that the hue size of the sandbox crowd is a myth then one kind of needs to determine who exatctly the sandbox crowd really are.

@mmaize. The industry has not accepted that Skyrim is a sandbox, many yes, but not all, possibly a majority though. I did what you suggested and did a search on "Is Skyrim a sandbox" and the 2nd link stated it wasn't. So there is no univeral acceptance yet.

Except that players can't do anything they want. they need to peitiion to add it into the game and wait until it is coded and tested and then it's added.
But let's, for argument's sake, say you are correct. that in this game one can do anything they want whenverver they want as long as some time has gone by to add it into the game.
one point doesn't equal a line. This would then be the only game I know where this would be true. Or, the only mmo I know where this would be true.
IN which case how can an argument be made where only one game is in existence that supports the true mmo sandbox ideal? Because if this game is the only game that is a true mmo sandbox then how many players play it? That number would then be the answer to the thread.

VengeSunsoar - I agree that most is not all but that is a true sandbox.
Also Skyrim is not a Sandbox because no matter how many times you play through it, you will still do the same main story line which makes it linar. It does have Sandbox elements but it is not a true sandbox.
Also alot of games have Sandbox elements but are not true Sandboxes.
I agree that EvE is one of the cloest of all the MMORPGs to a true sandbox but it is not.

The thing is most players do not want a true sandbox even if they say they do because most players have never played a true sandbox game, they have played hybrids and think they are Sandbox games.
Same reason some people keep calling EvE a sandbox game, it is very close but it is not a true sandbox.
We have a lot of MMOs are that have a ton of Sandbox Elements but nothing that is a true sandbox.
Ever played any of the X space games like X3: Terran Conflict? I think that is the closest I have ever seen to a true sandbox in a video game.

for intance, my roommate doesn't do most of the quests adn really is more interested in exploring, vanquishing enemies and selling their pants to vendors. He only did the main quest once because he wanted to see some new content and I badgered him to do the main quest.
But as far as any quests he pretty much just sticks to minor quests.
He plays the game completely on his terms.
I've seen others use the elderscrolls games more as a sandbox/toy. collecting things or experimenting with the physics or luring npc's to gruesome deaths.

A real sandbox which could be considered a virtual world or a real life simulation would have to be able to change and grow forever, otherwise the limited complexity would lead to bordom sooner or later. In order to create such a game of neverending change and growth the current ways of updating a game needs to be changed completley. Such a game have to be made of modules which can be easly replaced by newer versions. The graphics must be a seperate module, the landscape, the movement, the ways to interact and so on. To create such a game woud require a totaly new way of game design, which currently simply isnt available, especially not in the heads of the producing companies. But I am 100% sure, one day it will come. One day someone will come and realize the potiental to make money with such a game and invests a billion dollars to realize it.

Iarð skal rifna, ok upphiminn.
Problem people seem to have conflict with in Skyrim is whether ot not the modding content is considered part of the game.
If not, then the game is more finite in player control. If it is, then there's really not much you can't do.
Inevitably a large amout of this, like prior commented on, seems to be semantics and personal preference.
Like when people comment on themeparks. From my point of view I may not use linear, but I do consider them to be inherently much more finite and controlled experiences even outside the rides. Namely because while you can free roam, that is only within the confined and often circular structure of the pathways built for you. On top of that many rides tend to be gates with some for of restriction or requirement at the whim of the park management (developer).
Disneyland is a great example using the ticket rides as the comparison. Sure, they aren't used any more, but the mechanics they do have of fast-pass and how lines are managed or stacked up still ends up with a similar approximation.
I do agree with many others that sandbox more than anything else defines it's player experience through creative control. Whether or not it's the player capable of designing and implementing elements into the game that influences how others will experience that game, be it through influence on environments, implementation of different kinda of game mechanics, or overhauls of the game's flow and/or narrative.
I'd also consider other aspects like a sandbox game inherently can't have a very linear expereince, or it pans out very swiftly, due to how most the value of the games tends to be on the player's control. Like how Spore introduces editors in tiers during gameplay or terraria and minecraft trickles in things for you to do as available resources and tools expand.
There's also dynamic and static aspects to consider, but that would be mushing a third argument into the pot. :p
EDIT: I should note too that in the case of skyrim, the game really doesn't have many qualms with how you handle the quests or world beyond hitting the major points in it. That's also a sticking point on how one tries to define the 'rides'. Sure, there has to be some degree of control when it comes to going through a narrative, otherwise it's not a narrative. Beyond that though there's a good degree of flexibility and even player choice on the outcome of the narrative. Perhaps not in the main campaign or all the missions, but certainly in some it's displayed.

So this is the weekly sandbox / themepark dictionary war huh? Well I guess I better throw my hat into the arena!
To Axehilt...
You are basing your defintion for sandbox and themepark off of the analogy fairly strictly. And heck, that would seem to make sense right? But the problem is that society by and large does not use a strict analogy-derived definition for these two terms. So you're really just going on and on about your personal opinion for these terms that differs from everyone else.
If you don't believe me...then I present exhibit A from here:
The term sandbox refers more to the mechanics of a game and how, as in a physical sandbox, the user is entertained by his ability to play creatively and with there being "no right way"[5] of playing the game.
So there yah go, sandbox is about there being "no right way" to play the game. That, very much, sounds like "non-linear" to me. I see absolutely zero mention of player-generated content versus developer-generated content in there.
And really, even if it were in there, how could you reconcile the fact that games like Skyrim and GTA ARE sandboxes despite the fact that they have no player generated content in them?
In the end, player-generated content is just an OPTION that can be included in a sandbox game. Player generated content definitely can make a game more non-linear, so it is supportive of the sandbox design, but in no way is it REQUIRED for a game to be non-linear (sandbox).

Sexomnia Sleep Disorder
Word du Jour: Sexomnia
Fortunately, there are no reports (yet) of people walking out the door and looking for sex. Among 832 people surveyed at a sleep disorder clinic, so not the general population, 7.6 percent had sexomnia or "sleep sex" with partners already in their beds. More often men than women, sexomniacs don't remember having sex, and their partners often don't realize they're asleep.
It affects people the same way other sleep disorders do, with fatigue and moodiness being the most common complaints. Too bad sleep sex doesn't have the same effect as awake sex — maybe some people would get some sleep.

Equine Canada has just released its 2010 Canadian Equine Industry Profile Study — the State of the Industry. The 2010 study reports on statistical data derived from the largest equine industry participant survey sample ever completed in Canada. The demographic and economic information garnered in the survey underlines the significant role Canada's equine industry plays in the country's overall economic health.
The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE ) reports that a new case of Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM) was confirmed in the United States (U.S.), on July 21, 2011.
July 25, 2011 — Six individuals representing Equine Canada's Export Market Development program (EC Export) completed a trade mission to Zhaosu County, in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of northwest China in early July. The mission's delegates met their objectives to experience, firsthand, a Chinese-run equestrian sporting event, gain knowledge of China's current horse husbandry practices and demonstrate that Canada has the expertise to partner with China as it strives to develop a contemporary horse industry.
June 20, 2011 — The welfare of farmed animals is receiving increased attention and changes are happening. In Canada, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that sound animal care standards are in place.
June 14, 2011 — Equine Canada's Health and Welfare Committee is sharing an update on the EHV-1 status in the Western Provinces from a conference call June 13. Participants included the Chief Provincial Veterinarian, members of Alberta Veterinary Medical Association, faculty from the University of Calgary Veterinary Medicine, provincial animal laboratory veterinarians and local equine practitioners.
March 18, 2011 - It's official. Starting in 2011, the "Industry Division" becomes the official name of Equine Canada's Breeds & Industry Division. With the goal of clarifying its role within the national federation and within Canada's equine industry overall, the "Industry" designator captures the broader scope of the Division's activities and emphasizes that its areas of work and responsibility affect all stakeholders regardless of their sport, discipline or breed affiliation. The Industry Division represents the equine industry in all of its facets.
February 11, 2011 — The Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed that import permits will continue to be required for the importation of semen and embryos from the U.S. into Canada during 2011. These import restrictions are a result of Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM) in the U.S.
Equine Canada is pleased to announce the Equine Code Development Committee of 18 stakeholder representatives from eight provinces has been finalized and the next stage of revising the Code of Practice for Horses, last developed in 1998, can begin. Following the nationally recognized and supported National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC) Code Development Guidelines, the Equine Code Development Committee will work with the Equine Scientists' Committee, assembled by NFACC, to develop the new Code of Practice for Horses that is planned for release in 2013.

Cote de Pablo to Star in CBS's Upcoming Miniseries THE DOVEKEEPERS

|Smithsonian Tells Real Story Inspiring CBS' The Dovekeepers in SIEGE OF MASADA, 3/27
March 05, 2015
|Related: THE DOVEKEEPERS, CBS
Cote de Pablo will star in THE DOVEKEEPERS, a four-hour CBS miniseries event from executive producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, which will be broadcast in 2015. The project is based on Alice Hoffman's acclaimed historical novel about four extraordinary women whose lives intersect in a fight for survival at the siege of Masada.
De Pablo will play Shirah, one of the four women, who is a sensual, mysterious and fiercely independent single mother with uncanny insights and a quiet and mysterious power. She is derided by many as the "Witch of Moab," as she covertly practices Forbidden ancient rites of magic and is keenly knowledgeable about herbal remedies. However, those in need don't hesitate to approach her for her help and generosity of spirit.
"We are thrilled to have Cote de Pablo starring in THE DOVEKEEPERS," said Roma Downey. "Her talent, strength and beauty will light up the screen in the important role of Shirah."
Cote de Pablo starred as Special Agent Ziva David for eight seasons on the hit series NCIS, on the Network. Her additional television credits include a starring role in the series "The Jury" and guest appearances on "The $treet," "Fling" and the Network's "The Education of Max Bickford." In addition, she hosted a popular Latin-themed television talk show, "Control," with media personality Carlos Ponce. She received an Imagen Award and an Alma award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, and she was nominated for both awards in the same category the following year as well.
Her feature film credits include the upcoming project "The 33," based on the true story of the rescued Chilean miners, which also stars Antonio Banderas and Juliette Binoche. Her feature film debut was in "The Last Rites of Ransom Pride" from director Tiller Russell, with Kris Kristofferson, Dwight Yoakam and Jason Priestley.
On stage, de Pablo appeared in "The Mambo Kings" and "Measure for Measure," the latter being for Public Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park.
Born in Chile, de Pablo moved with her family to Miami at the age of 10. In addition to being a National Foundation for the Arts Finalist, she holds a BFA in Acting and Musical Theatre from Carnegie Mellon University.
Set in ancient Israel, THE DOVEKEEPERS is based on the true events at Masada in 70 C.E. After being forced out of their home in Jerusalem by the Romans, 900 Jews were ensconced in a fortress at Masada, a mountain in the Judean desert. Besieged at Masada, the Jews held out for months against the vast Roman armies. The miniseries will recount the unfolding events from the perspective of four extraordinary women who arrive at Masada with unique backstories, but who share a common bond for survival.
Hoffman's novel was first published in 2011 by Scribner, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, earning the New York Times' bestseller status and widespread critical acclaim, including being hailed by Nobel laureate Toni Morrison as "a major contribution to 21st century literature."
Executive producers Roma Downey and multiple Emmy Award winner Mark Burnett ("Survivor," "The Voice"), under their banner LightWorkers Media, are the production team behind the Emmy-nominated 10-hour miniseries "The Bible," which scored big ratings last year, and the feature "Son of God."
Frank Siracusa, John Weber and Yves Simoneau also serve as executive producers, with Simoneau directing. Ann Peacock is adapting the novel for the screen.
The miniseries is the first project from CBS Entertainment and CBS Television Studios' Limited Series and Event Programming unit. THE DOVEKEEPERS is a co-production between CBS Television Studios and LightWorkers Media.

Welcome to the 2014-15 Vanderbilt Student Launch web page!
Navigate the site using the menu options to the left. Find out what this year's team is up to and track its progress through the many facets of the Student Launch competition as they unfold.
About Us
The Vanderbilt Aerospace Club was set up in 2007 by Professor Amrutur Anilkumar to meet the emerging needs of Vanderbilt engineering students to pursue careers and advanced studies in aerospace engineering. Its main agenda is to design unique rocket-flyable payload systems that highlight major challenges in Space Exploration, and Energy Conversion as applicable to the Aerospace Sector. It also has a robust outreach program that works to build STEM enthusiasm in aerospace engineering among middle and high school students in Tennessee. The club's membership consists of engineering upperclassmen who participate in the School of Engineering's Senior Design Project, engineering graduate students whose research is allied to aerospace engineering, and some engineering lowerclassmen with a demonstrated interest in aerospace engineering. Vanderbilt students who have a passion for educational outreach are also part of its membership. The current function of the club is to compete in the NASA Student Launch Competition, and to present the project results at AIAA Student Conferences, and in select AIAA Journals. The Aerospace Club also represents the AIAA Student Chapter at Vanderbilt University

Get ready for hockey. According to a source of The Boston Globe, the Bruins will open their abbreviated 48-game post-lockout season Jan. 19 against the New York Rangers at the TD Garden. The game is said to be a 7 p.m. start, although that had not been confirmed. Since after that point the Celtics do not have another home game scheduled until Jan. 24, a Jan. 21 game against the Maple Leafs may stay the same as originally scheduled.

Reckitt Benckiser has won the bid to acquire Schiff Nutrition in a $1.4bn (£877m) deal which will allow Reckitt Benckiser to launch itself in the $30bn vitamins and nutrition supplements market.
Reckitt Benckiser outdid German drugmaker Bayer which had pitched a $1.2bn (£750m) deal for Schiff Nutrition. Schiff's board approved the offer of $42 (£26.3) a share in cash and will recommend its investors tender their shares. The higher bid by Reckitt Benckiser foiled Bayer chief executive's Marijn Dekkers's attempt to add faster-growing vitamins and supplements to Bayer's consumer-health unit.
The Reckitt Benckiser-Schiff Nutrition deal will catapult the company into the higher–margin health business, enabling it to work on its US healthcare business, where it already sells brands such as Durex.
Reckitt Benckiser first made the $42–per–share (£26.2) cash tender offer this month, representing a 23.5% premium over the $34 per share that Bayer agreed to pay in late October. Bayer withdrew from the bid stating that it did not want to engage in a bidding war with the company.
The Reckitt Benckiser-Schiff Nutrition deal, subject to shareholder approval, will be financed with cash and existing credit facilities. Reckitt Benckiser added that it expected to complete the deal by the end of the year.
The purchase of Schiff Nutrition will be another feather in the cap for Reckitt Benckiser after a spat of acquisitions since 2006, including Adams Respiratory Therapeutics Inc. and SSL International Plc, the maker of Scholl foot products.
Schiff rose 0.1% to $41.90 (£26.2) at the close in New York yesterday. Reckitt Benckiser's current share price is 3863.62p, up 18.62p.

downshift/braking methods
Someone said it would be a good idea to post in this subforum, so here we go ! Question about downshifting !
Seems to be that the technique used out on the track (mainly without a slipper clutch) is to downshift while braking, releasing the clutch for each gear, finishing your braking/downshifting before you lean the bike, lean the bike and then immediately after done leaning, roll on the throttle.
I would like to know why there is an advantage doing that method instead of: braking, downshifting through each gear with the clutch held in, leaning the bike and immediately after leaning getting the clutch in the friction zone/rolling on the throttle/getting clutch all the way out.
So whats the deal?
It is WAY smoother to ride with the track style, releasing the clutch every gear. I allways ride like that, at the track or traffic or off road. Riding like that you are allways on the right gear and right rpm for the curve/situation. And you are then using the engine as rear brake. It is WAY smoother.:deal And smooth is fast.
At the track you actually trail the brakes (front brake) all the way to the apex and down shift at the same time. Blipping the throttle while downshifts for smooth shifts. If you use the track method, you need to blip while down shifts, or you get a lot of CLUNCKS and eventually break your tranny.
With the track method you allways have the engine connected to the ground, either engine braking or accelerating. RPM and gear matched to the situation.
Clutch?? I only use that when I'm stopped.
I prefer to be in the right gear before I ever reach the corner, but I will skip every gear on the way down to it.
Be warned, once you start trail braking, you will never give it up. It is one of the most useful advanced techniques there is. You can bail out of some deeeeeeeeep sheet on tractive surfaces if you are confident and can apply it properly. YMMV on loose surfaces!
Cause you don't want to freewheel through any corner.
You want throttle cracked on as soon as u finish braking to balance the bike and hold a consistent line.
Who tought u option 2??? It's dangerous.
Option 2 runs the risk of the bike locking up as you bang down through the gears and then let the clutch out, also when the engine has been spun up by the lower gears its very likely to be in the meat of the torque curve and as you roll the throttle on you could spin the rear which usually means bad juju.
Better to go into the corner under control and in the correct gear and on partial throttle.
To clarify the only differences I was describing between option 1 and 2 were:
letting the clutch out for each gear in option 1, and not in option 2.
cracking the throttle on just after lean completion in option 1, versus letting clutch out just after lean completion in option 2. Both being at the same spot on the track.
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/kw_PrqTlMbA?hl=en_US&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/kw_PrqTlMbA?hl=en_US&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
You don't have to concentrate on proper gas/clutch control when you are already in the right gear with the clutch fully released.
That way you can focus on other things like apex, exit speed, obstacles and road surface.
If you get the gas/clutch thing wrong while leaned over, you can more easily lose traction and lowside or highside. Repercussions are less bad when still approaching the turn riding upright.
pretbek, perhaps its just my lack of skill but it seems on my bike that even if I crack the throttle on the smallest amount I can, its still not smooth, whereas I can get the power on (in the same amount of time) by engaging the clutch/throttle very smoothly. Is that not common?
Learning to implement trailbraking increased my cornering confidence immensely.
Letting the clutch out for each gear makes it easier to match revs on the downshift for me, requires less blip, decreases the chance I will upset the suspension, and provides engine braking.
If you don't need all that and can match revs just fine on multiple gear downshifts I don't see why you shouldn't continue doing what you are comfortable with.
Let's confuse it a little more. I ride my street bikes, like a dirt bike. Lots of clutch action, especially at slow speed. When I'm down shifting, I don't bang the clutch lever back out, maybe 85%-95% all the way out, and since I don't have a slipper clutch, and I'm not springing $1000 for one, I don't have any issues with chirping or locking the rear wheel when I'm starting to get aggressive when I'm downshifting. Make sense?
Do not go trough the corner with your clutch pulled in, and letting it out only after apex.

New York Jets wide receiver Stephen Hill, who has been slowed by hamstring and knee injuries this season, must overcome another knee ailment. Hill underwent an MRI exam Monday that revealed a strained lateral collateral ligament in his right knee. The team lists his status as day-to-day, and ESPN.com reported that he won't need surgery. The injury occurred when Hill slipped while trying to make a catch in the second quarter of the Jets' 17-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. In 11 games (eight starts) this season, Hill has 21 catches for 252 yards and three touchdowns. The rookie out of Georgia Tech was a second-round draft pick last spring. The Jets also announced that linebacker Bryan Thomas is day-to-day due to a strained pectoral muscle. Both players will have an extra day to heal, as the Jets play Monday night at the Tennessee Titans.

Well, that should tell Royce something...
Ladies and Gentlemen, behold "replacement level" in action. Or put another way, don't pay a Royce Clayton for what a Ray Olmedo can do for league minimum.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
John MacDonald's mostly been starting at SS for them for a while already. I'd almost forgotten they had Clayton.

CSB draft report into 2009 explosion and fire at Caribbean Petroleum terminal in Puerto Rico finds inadequate management of gasoline storage tank overfill hazard
The US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) has released its draft investigation report into the 2009 massive explosion at the Caribbean Petroleum, or CAPECO, terminal facility near San Juan, Puerto Rico; the draft report includes proposed recommendations for addressing regulatory gaps in safety oversight of petroleum storage facilities by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The draft report was discussed at a CSB public meeting this afternoon at the CSB's offices at 2175 K Street, NW, Washington, DC. The meeting was webcast and public comments were accepted. At the meeting the CSB previewed an excerpt from the upcoming video on the CAPECO incident entitled, "Filling Blind."
The 2009 incident occurred when gasoline overflowed and sprayed out from a large aboveground storage tank, forming a 107-acre vapor cloud that ignited. While there were no fatalities, the explosion damaged approximately 300 nearby homes and businesses and petroleum leaked into the surrounding soil, waterways and wetlands. Flames from the explosion could be seen from as far as eight miles away.

When it comes to being the world's fastest man Usain Bolt has the routine down. The man wins just about every time he steps on the track and often times can be seen letting up before he crosses the finish line--he is that far ahead! Being the beast that he is requires a healthy amount of confidence, and he's earned it. The problem with that confidence is when it gets him thinking he can out due other guys at their sport--like San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker. Bolt recently made a video for Parker. In that video he offered his services-- not as a sprinter or for speed training. No, he wanted to help him with his shot. He didn't just offer his services. No, he had to insult Parker's game in the process. Parker appears to be on some television show in France so it is probably safe to say this is just a gag reel meant to give Parker and the audience a chuckle or two. Either that or Bolt's talents are wasted in sprinting and in the celebrity all-star game! ...

PARASITIC worms can adjust their survival strategy based on their host's immune response. This means potential vaccines against elephantiasis might make the infection spread more easily through communities.
Elephantiasis infects 120 million people a year in Africa and Asia. Tiny filaria worms carried by mosquitoes block the lymph vessels that normally drain fluid from limbs or genitals, which then swell to grotesque proportions. The only prevention is a yearly dose of worming drugs, but fewer than half the people at risk receive them.
Work is under way on a vaccine, but Simon Babayan at the University of Edinburgh, UK, and colleagues, have discovered that some vaccines may make the worms worse. When filaria worms in mice sense that the mouse is mounting a strong immune reaction, they change their life cycle, producing more offspring in the blood earlier. This helps the worm ensure that it will be picked up and transmitted by another mosquito despite the immune attack (PLoS Biology, DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.1000525).
Unfortunately, experimental vaccines rely on the very immune reactions that warn the worms, Babayan says. People who get such a vaccine may defeat their own infection, but the worms' early response means they will pass on more infections.
Babayan says potential vaccines should be tested for whether their targets adapt to them in this way.

I have been regretting that I didn't get a machine with embroidery capabilities so I've asked a few questions here and gotten some good ideas. I met with a dealer about the Brother PE 770 and I really liked it, but the dealer is too far from my home and I know I'm going to need classes and dealer support. I was told there was a Babylock equivalent to the Brother, but it seems to have been discontinued. I talked with my local Babylock/Bernina dealer and he showed me the Bernina Bernette Deco 340, but I can't find any reviews on it. Is anyone familiar with it and if so, what do you think?
I'm fortunate because the local dealer is going to make some calls and see if he can find a Brother or the discontinued Babylock so I don't really even know what I might end up with at this point, but I do want to get as much info as possible. Thanks everyone!
The Bernette Deco 340 is the Janome 350e with a Bernette label on it. Janome makes it for Bernina. It often sells for a little less than the Janome version, takes .EXP format (different from Janome) but is identical in all other respects. If you find some reviews of the 350e, that will be the same as the Deco 340.
There is a length discussion thread, under this topic category, of the Janome machine. You can also "search" for the 'Deco 340' under the this topic category, and find all past discussions about it. There aren't many, though. I have the Deco 340 and it is a nice machine.
------ iPad's auto-correct is my enema.
I just got this in March of this year. I haven't done a whole lot with it yet, as I have a shoulder injury that was limiting my dexterity.
But the few things I have done, a test of a continuous line quilting design, some hand towels, monograms, have been beautiful!
I did get a way better price than on the Janome 350e, and when I went for my 1st *how to use it* class the dealer had me bring my laptop to download the free ArtLink software. With that I can download patterns, regardless of format, and convert them into .exp. Some resizing, and I think it does a bit more, but that's as far as I have gotten with it.
Good luck!
------Janome Horizon 7700
Bernina Bernette Deco 340

Bernina 1130
Did you end up getting the 340? I'm curious as to what you thought about it. I just traded in my 340 for the Bernina 440 QE because I needed to upgrade my sewing machine. It seemed easier to combine the two into one machine. I make more crafts than clothes, and the walking foot was something I really wanted so I could do the straight lines! That was my reasoning for trading, and it had nothing to do with the quality of the 340. That was a very nice machine. The monogramming was easy to understand and I now realize that it's a feature I don't have on the 440. Oops! So if you need to do some basic embroidery designs, I think you will enjoy the Deco 340 machine.
