Best vs. hottest: Pack hosts Heels in No. 6-No. 1 baseball showdown
North Carolina-N.C. State is always a big rivalry. This weekend it becomes ever bigger, pitting the nation's best team against the nation's hottest team.
The top-ranked Tar Heels (40-3) are only the ninth team in NCAA history with at least 40 wins in their first 43 games, while the sixth-ranked Wolfpack (33-10) owns the nation's longest active winning streak at 15 games.
The two teams will square off at N.C. State's Doak Field at 6:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 7 p.m. Sunday. All three games are sold out, and the finale will be televised live on ESPNU.
"I don't think State-Carolina ever needs any more hype, because it's such a good rivalry in every sport, but this does add a little bit to it," UNC coach Mike Fox said. "Like somebody said, you guys have been on a collision course for quite a while… and at the end of April, here we are."
UNC will start ace Kent Emanuel (8-1, 1.82) in the opener against Ryan Wilkins (5-1, 3.16), Benton Moss (7-0, 2.81) Saturday against 2012 ACC pitcher of the year Carlos Rodon (4-2, 4.48) of State, and Hobbs Johnson (2-0, 2.45) will open for UNC Sunday against Brad Stone (2-1, 6.23).
Rodon and Moss squared off the last time these teams faced — in pool play in last year's ACC Tournament at Greensboro. Rodon threw nine shutout innings but the Tar Heels won 4-0 in 12 innings in front of 10,229, the largest crowd ever to watch a college baseball game in the state.
The crowd may be slightly smaller at Doak (capacity about 2,500), but no less passionate.
"My freshman year it was definitely one of the most intense crowds we had, as far as kind of getting on you, and I like playing in that kind of environment," Emanuel said.
N.C. State actually edged UNC for overall champion in the ACC preseason coaches poll. But while the Tar Heels have excelled all season, the Wolfpack lost 5 of 6 last month without leadoff hitter Trea Turner, who is hitting .438 and scoring 1.44 runs a game. N.C. State is 17-1 since he returned from an ankle injury late last month.
The Tar Heels are led by Colin Moran, who is hitting .395 and has more home runs (10) than strikeouts (eight). The junior third baseman is aiming to be the fourth player in NCAA history to lead the nation in runs scored and RBI — he leads in both categories.
Despite the emotions of a big rivalry, first baseman Cody Stubbs said the Tar Heels can't approach the weekend any differently.
"You can't get too hyped up," Stubbs said. "It's baseball, it's not football. You can't run out there and tackle somebody. Just stay calm and keep playing the baseball we've been playing."
NOTES — UNC is two games up on Virginia in the Coastal Division, while N.C. State leads the Atlantic Division by one game over both Florida State and Clemson. … That attendance number last year in Greensboro didn't include Fox, who was serving a one-game suspension after being ejected from UNC's previous contest. "I'm going to try to attend all three games (this weekend), if I can," Fox joked. "That would be nice." … Today, for the first time in 281 meetings, both N.C. State and UNC are ranked in the national top 10.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Kettle Corn
Amusement Park Style Kettle Corn with Roasted Peanuts and Yogurt Covered Raisins
- 2-3 tablespoons peanut, coconut or canola oil
- 1/4 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
- 1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/2 cup yogurt covered raising
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped or whole
- sea salt to taste, optional
In a large, heavy bottomed pot with tight fitting lid over medium-high heat, add oil. Lightly whisk together the corn kernels with one tablespoon white sugar and all of the brown sugar. Once oil is rippling and sizzling, add sugar-kernel mixture to the popcorn pot. Cover the pot with a lid, and move the pot fairly briskly in a circular motion on the stove. Allow the corn to pop, moving the pot constantly, until the rate has slowed down to one pop every two or three seconds. Remove the pot from the stove, and shake the pot until the popping stops. Pour into a parchment lined sheet pan, and allow to cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, heat peanut butter with one and a half teaspoons of white sugar and the yogurt covered raisins in a small nonstick pot over medium low heat; stirring gently as needed, until the mixture melted (the yogurt will melt off the raisins as well) and smooth. Cool until it coats the back of a spoon nicely. Pour peanut butter mixture over cooled popcorn in a drizzly fashion. Immediately sprinkle drizzled popcorn with roasted peanuts and allow to cool. Season with salt to taste, if needed. Break apart the large clumps of popcorn by hand. Devour blissfully.

July 2, 2014
I had the pleasure to participate in a panel called "Why Do Some Boys Grow Up To Be Dangerous Men?" It was held in partnership with City of Cleveland Councilman Kevin Conwell and featured various panel members. In preparation of part II of the conversation, which will be held in the City of East Cleveland on July 21, 2014 at the East Cleveland Public Library, I want to recap some of the findings of this first event.
The first noticeable takeaway was that the audience was mainly populated by mature adults. By mature adults I am referring to the residents who support strong families and strong communities. I hoped that there would be a larger majority of young people at the forum but, as with many of the events today, there were only a few. I personally drove a few teens to the event, but instead of being present at a forum that could affect the future of this community, many young people, who were in the same building, were either not asked to attend or ignored the significance of the discussion.
The second take-a-way was how the main topic of conversation leaned in the direction of father's rights. This was a very productive discussion considering that the panel included the very knowledgeable Al Grimes from the Cuyahoga County Fatherhood initiative. Accordingly, the participants were able to get very valuable information on this topic. Specifically, many of the participants left enriched on how to establish paternity and work within the legal system to ensure that they are given the right to visitation and enjoyment of their children. When I rose to speak I mentioned fatherhood from a different angle. I discussed the feeling of parents when their young children go astray. I discussed how it's the responsibility of the parents to make sure their young children don't grow up to be dangerous. I discussed how my heart cries out every time I see a person in my courtroom who is living below their potential by choosing to live a life of crime and destruction.
As a Judge I see dangerous men and women everyday who did not start out that way. I come face to face with people who have lost hope and who are not concerned about themselves, their community or other people. This discussion is very important. The evidence of dangerous men and women is constantly on display. Just this past weekend in the city of Cleveland there were four shooting deaths. We see that everyone expresses outrage over killings but very few are willing to do anything about it. This reactionary yet lackadaisical approach to stopping crime is evident by the lack of media attention or leadership support at this particular event. There were no news cameras and there was no joining of forces with the other Cleveland Council members. In my experience, any serious change and advancement to stop the trend of dangerous men and women must be approached by massive collaboration. It takes a village to create a positive community. The next forum, "Why Do Young Boys Grow into Dangerous Men," that I host in East Cleveland, will boldly address the problem, the lack of community collaboration but most importantly, the possible solutions.
For more discussion on this subject or others, join Judge Dawson's Cycle Breaker/Finish First program on Monday nights at 5:30pm at the East Cleveland Municipal Court. East Cleveland Municipal Court's Judge William L. Dawson is on a mission to help people to Finish First, live their best lives and be Cycle Breakers!

Tucked away on the northwestern rim of the commercial district at State of Franklin and Knob Creek roads, there's a pioneer farmstead that predates the nation.
The property includes a two-story cabin built in 1765 by young Charles Duncan, who an early document records coming to the area with the pioneering O'Bean family.
Beside the cabin is a two-story museum chock-full of artifacts from 250 years of history the farmstead has weathered.
And beside the museum, there's a bright red caboose loaded with memorabilia gathered by four generations of a railroading family.
The Knob Creek Museum and Pioneer Homestead at 243 Denny Mill Road is located a quarter-mile west of the intersection of State of Franklin Road, Greenline Road and West Oakland Avenue. Tours are available by appointment April 15 through Nov. 1.
Last week, the museum's owners and curators, Margaret Sherfey Holley and her husband George Holley, were busy preparing the property for winter but graciously accepted a request for an end-of-season tour.
Margaret told the story of how her childhood home encompassed Duncan's cabin and was torn away in 1995 when she and George restored the cabin.
The property came into her family in 1886 when her grandfather, David Preston Sherfy, purchased the cabin and 17 acres of a 400-acre tract that was granted to Duncan by the government more than a decade after he settled the property.
Margaret's father, John A. Sherfey, who changed the spelling of their family name, built an addition onto the cabin and lined the inside of its stone chimney with brick for his family's safety.
When the Holleys tore away the siding that encapsulated the log structure, they found long chaffs of wheat twisted and encased in mud to form the chinking between the logs more than 200 years earlier.
Near an inside wall of its stone foundation, they uncovered a spoon with an unusual pitcher-like lip and a rough buildup of metal that evidenced its use for pouring hot lead into the small molds of musket balls.
Sherfey family legend holds that the Duncans used the trap door in the cabin's floor to flee to the cellar during Indian attacks and explains the spoon's presence beneath the cabin.
In 1986, the Holleys built the museum beside the cabin to house a collection of family and community antiques.
Its artifacts include handmade furniture, "fancy quilts" and woven coverlets, linen bedspreads and tablecloths and a collection of military memorabilia that begins with the Civil War and continues through the Persian Gulf conflict.
Of particular beauty are three woven blankets from the museum's Wine-Krouse coverlet collection that traveled the country between 2001 and 2003 with a touring exhibit titled "Textile Art from Southern Appalachia: The Quiet Work of Women" that was also displayed at the Royal Museum in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Community contributions to the museum include the hand-pieced quilts and personal effects of the late Pearl Bowman of Jonesborough, John Martin's collection of Native American artifacts, Marcella Epperson's antique farm equipment and Gilbert Hodge's woodworking tools.
The caboose was purchased from CSX Rail Corp. by George, whose family includes four generation of railroaders, including his nephew, Keith, the present-day manager of East Tennessee Railroad.
The majority of its memorabilia — signal lanterns, switch locks, steam engine tools, train schedules and photographs — was donated by Keith and Blanche Holley Martin, a former freight agent for CSX.
A personal note from George and Margaret at the museum website at http://bit.ly/HpbIz5 reads:
"Interest in the 'old ways' is dwindling. The history of this area is being scattered across the country as families are moving away, taking with them family heirlooms and antiques.
"What we are attempting to do is give a home to the artifacts that are left in the area, displaying them for those who still hold an interest in their own heritage."Editor's note: An earlier version of this article mentioned Greenwood Drive when it should have referenced Greenline Road in the directions.

Read Poems by
Joey Success
Drink at the table of men the wine
Tapped from the palm tree so divine
Release the ashimu inside of you
Let your body vibrate to the secret rhythm of Odu
Egu the gallant one in the land
Vibrating furiously yet lovely as the white sand
Move by the sea shore in gait
Hip twisting and acting like a hunters bait
The wind acknowledges his movement
For a pattern of life it represents at that moment
Let the owl blow his sacred trumpet
That shakens the heart and weakens the knee like a trinket
Let the forest come alive in the dead night
The animals' eyes guiding them like a torchlight
Fire is come from beneath the earth
Illuminating the trees and casting shadows like death
The feeble in mind is left at home
For to go you must contain only bone
Hear the sound of the drums
The gay shouts of the flute in forms
The backing of the kacha-kacha
The wonderful melody of the skirt of rafter
Idu the greatest paces up and down
His muscle twitching upsetting his flowing gown
His toes digging the sands ready to pounce
Pounce he did but in a bounce
The spirits are ascended from the bowels
The ryhtm have increased in tempo
The shaking of sweaty skins has created wells
Ground dug with foot but like a hoe
Omachile the great surpasses all
His steps gazelle like and his shoulder tall
The earth bows to his frame
And yes…. He lives with the fame

New York's Lieutenant Governor Duffy will help RIT celebrate a new commitment to "going green" and educating the community on green technology.
Lieutenant Governor and former Rochester Mayor Bob Duffy will be on the Rochester Institute of Technology campus Friday for a ribbon cutting at the Golisano Institute for Sustainability. The $38-million facility will be powered by fuel cell technology, and will be the home for RIT's programs that focus on "green" technology.
The Institute's main purpose is to work with industry experts and specialists to find ways for technology to work more efficiently, and require fewer resources. Representatives from RIT have told News10NBC that the Institute will feature programs for school-age children and will serve as a community resource.
RIT received $5-million in state funding to develop the project.
Lt. Governor Duffy will attend the ribbon cutting ceremony on the RIT campus at noon.

How much is Lesly's Comedy Intensive? I just hear people say that it's expensive on the forum, but I couldn't find the price on her website.
$600 for 3 all day classes.
|Johnny Depp
Thank you, Truth!
|Johnny Depp
I've studied with Annie Grindlay and at Lesly Kahn... both intensives, both at on-going. Though expensive, I echo that LK is stronger. Love Annie, but while she incorporates some of the elements of reversals, LK Studio hammers it in. I studied there about 8 months, and I feel like I "got it." Definitely a technique to build on any technique you already have... it's more of a finishing school, I'd say. Take what you know about acting (whatever method you use to become a character), and use her technicals to shape it and stand out. Not just comedy, either- drama/film/etc. Weekly assignments are projects currently casting, so that if you get called in, you will be ahead of the gang! Cannot recommend her studio enough.
|Kevin Bacon
I've also studied with both Annie and Lesly, both for about a year of ongoings each, and I preferred Annie, but it's really an apples/oranges thing, because what works for some really doesn't work for others.
Lesly's method (both her actual acting method and the way she teaches that method) is REALLY technical, and when I started there, my biggest hurdle in acting was being too "in my head" (too intellectual an approach to acting, really indicative, etc). Her attempts at solving this included telling me repeatedly that I was too in-my-head, telling me that I needed to access my right-brain more, and making me wear a piece of scotch tape on my forehead when I was doing scenes (so that I could feel when I was scrunching my forehead and indicating), all of which only made me more hyper self-aware, which just made the problem worse.
Annie's imagination-based and story-focused approach allowed me to still use my brain, but for the purposes of leaving it for another reality, which really helped me get more present in the moment.
If you're lacking in script analysis, comedic formula, and acting business savvy, then Lesly is freaking awesome.
If you need to work on living and breathing the scene, Annie's method is stronger.
|Johnny Depp
I know I'm way late to the party, but I thought this thread was interesting and I wanted to chime in.
I've been studying at the Kahn since July of this year, and I agree with what TruthTeller, Thrill Seeker and fashiondiva said. I've had the pleasure of working with both Saxon and Annie while they were both at Margie Haber, and I followed Annie when she opened her own place. I love her madly, but I definitely think that the Kahn is a stronger school, especially for comedy. As a matter of fact, both Saxon and Annie told me that since I had some natural talent for comedy, I should check out Lesly's school. They are so specific with the technical aspects, and the script analysis is always so helpful - as are the rehearsals! At this school, you are encouraged to work with your classmates on the scripts for the upcoming classes, and it makes a much bigger difference than only meeting once a week. HUGE difference. You also have the benefit of working with a teacher and a TA in each level (intensive, clinic, on-going)
I worked with Kristi for intensive and clinic (and triage), and then moved to Tyler's class for on-going. But my classmate there don't really seem to like rehearsing, so I'm switching again. I knew after triage that I didn't really want to work with Lesly herself - I thought she might be too much at times, and like TruthTeller said, her class is rather large, so I didn't think I'd get as much attention as I wanted.
|Morgan Freeman
I recently attended a "triage" that Lesly herself hosted. I was not impressed with her at all. She was loud, rambling and highly critical. I can do without someone you insists on using curse words in every sentence. She told one of the students in the room she thought they needed "professional help". She kept pressing him saying "Are you depressed? Is there something bothering you? I know it is none of my business, but I think you need help." Now, that was terribly out of line and unprofessional. If she really felt compelled to comment on someone's mental health that she had never even met, then she should have done it one-on-one. She tore a girl apart because she wasn't dressed appropriately. OK, but it was a Saturday morning and we are in class for Crissakes..I don't know. She munched on chips endlessly and let her dog run all over the room. It was over 4 hours that should have lasted 2 hours. Some acting teachers just ramble to hear themselves talk, and in a world where everyone has such short attention spans, make your critiques concise and move on. But overall, I really don't know why people rave about her. If I were charging her prices, I would conduct myself more professionally.
I've never been in Lesly's class, but I've heard the same things STRUGGLING ARTIST mentions from others. I've heard she's very critical about your performance and your looks. I 've heard she told a plus size actress that she needed to lose weight and another needed a nose job. I have debated on taking a class with her because of the things I've heard, but it seems the positives out weigh the negatives on this thread.
She's only really an uber bitch during the triage. Yes, she can yell and scream during her regular classes, but not like the triages.
|Johnny Depp
Could someone explain what Leslie's "non-technique" is? I mean it seems pretty self explanatory just would like some insight from anyone who has studied with her.
The "Non-Method" is a simplified yet effective way of breaking your scene down by focusing mostly on identifying subtext or what Lesly calls "thoughts" behind what you're saying based on what is going on in the scene, the relationship, and what is said before your lines (or if you have the first line creating a thought behind it).
For example, take the line "I hate you" based on what Person A says (The parenthesis represent the "thoughts"):
A: I killed your mom.
B: (I want to kill you) I hate you.
A: I pranked you this time with that fake rat!
B: (Oh my best friend and your practical jokes!) I hate you
Normally, when you first get a script or sides, you cover up your line and look at the other person's line before and write in the margin before your line the thought or opinion that comes to mind from reading the other person's line before yours. Continue this line by line.
Ideally, if you have multiple days before an audition or performance, you might have different thoughts each day so you write those down too, preferably in different colors.
For your auditions where the reader is not acting with you, these "thoughts" become your choices.
For a performance with another actor, you are NOT to memorize the thoughts you came up with in your prep but you are to listen to what the other actor is saying so you can have "in the moment" thoughts/opinions behind your lines.
The main benefit of this way of working during your prep is you're better able to know your lines because you have something behind them.
|Johnny Depp
Ahhh ok I see. A little different than what I thought. I wish they allowed audits I would like to see this in action.
What did you think it was?
It's called "Non-Method" because if you were to do "Method" it'd take you a long time to prepare. The "Non-Method" is probably one of the more effective "shortcuts" for those times when you have very little time to prepare.
Even if you were to audit, you wouldn't see that much in action because the prep work is normally to be done in advance before class. It's not a Margie Haber/Annie Grindlay type school where you do the scene and then do the script analysis and then again.
What's funny is I was doing script analysis a similar way before I studied at Lesly's school.
Can some of you that have been through the triage give complete play by plays of what goes on from beginning to end? I know she assesses where she thinks you are as an actor, screeches a lot while she rips everybody up, and goes on long tangents but what else and in any particular order?
|Morgan Freeman
You pretty much summed it up.
You'll be given sides a few days in advance. BE OFF BOOK!

Football: Nantwich Town manager Danny Johnson points finger as defence for Worksop defeat
Posted: April 04, 2014|
NANTWICH Town will be looking to bounce back from Wednesday's 3-1 defeat at high-flying Worksop as they entertain fellow mid-table side Trafford in the Premier Division.
It has been a season of mixed fortunes for the Dabbers with their impressive home form saving them from being dragged into an unlikely relegation battle, with their last away win coming before Christmas.
Aaron Burns grabbed his 26th of the season on Wednesday when he fired the Dabbers ahead after 19 minutes.
However, promotion-chasing Worksop hit back just 10 minutes later with an equaliser from Leon Mettam.
Related content
Conor Higginbotham then put Worksop ahead after 32 minutes and Mettam grabbed his second goal shortly after the half-time break to keep Worksop in second place and just two points behind leaders Chorley as they battle it out for a place in the Conference North next season.
The defeat leaves Nantwich in 14th spot, and manager Danny Johnson less than impressed with his team's defending, which he says cost them the game.
"Individual errors have cost us, we just don't seem to be able to defend at the minute which is disappointing, considering the experience we have at the back.
"I'm not sure we are capable of rolling our sleeves up and fighting, so players are now playing for their shirts next season, it's really as simple as that."
Relegated STAFFORD RANGERS will be hoping to finish the season on a high as they look to round-off a miserable season with a winning finale.
The Marston Road side were relegated from the Premier Division following their draw at Buxton on Saturday.
And their preparations for life as a Step Four club begin tomorrow when they play host to a King's Lynn side looking to cement their place in the top half of the table.
Rangers boss Graham Heathcote was due to check on injured pair Darren Bullock and Levi Reid at training last night.
Skipper Bullock was forced off inside 10 minutes of the match at Buxton with replacement Reid faring little better before he was replaced five minutes into the second half.
Victory tomorrow would end a five-match winless home run dating back to January when rock-bottom Droylsden were beaten 3-1, Heathcote's first game in charge.
After a week of uncertainty surrounding the future of the club, KIDSGROVE ATHLETIC gave themselves a much-needed lifeline when they moved out of the Division One South relegation zone with a thumping 4-1 win over Rainworth last weekend.
They moved off the bottom and above rivals Bedworth on goal difference and have five matches left to save their season.
They travel to an improved Chasetown tomorrow in search of a result, knowing that Bedworth travel to 17th-placed Brigg Town.
NEWCASTLE TOWN face a tough trip to promotion-chasing Coalville looking to bounce back from their late horror show against Brigg last week.
Despite being reduced to 10 men, Castle found themselves 3-0 up and cruising to a comfortable win, but they somehow conspired to concede three goals in the last six minutes.
Newcastle and Coalville met two weeks ago with Castle losing 3-0, and they will be looking for revenge tomorrow, in what would be a more than useful result for local rivals Leek Town, whom Newcastle boss Ivan Lodge used to play for.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
4:2-6 Not only the setting forth Christ's kingdom in the times of the apostles, but its enlargement by gathering the dispersed Jews into the church, is foretold. Christ is called the Branch of the Lord, being planted by his power, and flourishing to his praise. The gospel is the fruit of the Branch of the Lord; all the graces and comforts of the gospel spring from Christ. It is called the fruit of the earth, because it sprang up in this world, and was suited for the present state. It will be good evidence that we are distinguished from those merely called Israel, if we are brought to see all beauty in Christ, and holiness. As a type of this blessed day, Jerusalem should again flourish as a branch, and be blessed with the fruits of the earth. God will keep for himself a holy seed. When most of those that have a place and a name in Zion, and in Jerusalem, shall be cut off by their unbelief, some shall be left. Those only that are holy shall be left, when the Son of man shall gather out of his kingdom every thing which offends. By the judgment of God's providence, sinners were destroyed and consumed; but by the Spirit of grace they are reformed and converted. The Spirit herein acts as a Spirit of judgment, enlightening the mind, convincing the conscience; also as a Spirit of burning, quickening and strengthening the affections, and making men zealously affected in a good work. An ardent love to Christ and souls, and zeal against sin, will carry men on with resolution in endeavours to turn away ungodliness from Jacob. Every affliction serves believers as a furnace, to purify them from dross; and the convincing, enlightening, and powerful influences of the Holy Spirit, gradually root out their lusts, and render them holy as He is holy. God will protect his church, and all that belong to it. Gospel truths and ordinances are the glory of the church. Grace in the soul is the glory of it; and those that have it are kept by the power of God. But only those who are weary will seek rest; only those who are convinced that a storm is approaching, will look for shelter. Affected with a deep sense of the Divine displeasure, to which we are exposed by sin, let us at once have recourse to Jesus Christ, and thankfully accept the refuge he affords.
Pulpit Commentary
Verses 2-6. - As the present prophecy (Isaiah 2-4.), though in the main one of threatening and denunciation, opened with a picture that was encouraging and comforting (Isaiah 2:2-4), so new it terminates with a similar picture. The evangelical prophet, like the great apostle of the Gentiles, is unwilling that any one should be "swallowed up with overmuch sorrow." He will not separate the mercies of God from his judgments. Verse 2. - In that day shall the branch of the Lord, etc. Some see in this passage merely a promise that in the Messianic times the produce of the soil would become more abundant than ever before, its harvests richer, and its fruitage more luxuriant. But in the light of later prophecy it is scarcely possible to shut up the meaning within such narrow limits. The "Branch" of Isaiah can hardly be isolated altogether in a sound exegesis from the "Branch" of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 23:5; Jeremiah 33:15) and of Zechariah (Zechariah 3:8; Zechariah 6:12). Now, the "Branch" of Zechariah is stated to be "a man" (Zechariah 6:12: note that the word used for "Branch" is the same as Isaiah's, viz. tsemakh), and the "Branch "of Jeremiah is a King (Jeremiah 33:15). Moreover, Isaiah uses a nearly equivalent term (netser) in an admittedly Messianic sense. Although, therefore, there is some obscurity in the phrase, "Branch of Jehovah," it would seem to be best to understand Isaiah as here intimating, what he elsewhere openly declares (Isaiah 11:1-5) - viz. the coming of the Messiah in the latter days as the ornament and glory of his people. Be beautiful and glorious; rather, for beauty and glory; or, for ornament and glory; i.e. for the ornament and glorification of Israel. And the fruit of the earth. It is argued with reason that the two clauses of this verse are parallel, not antithetical, and that as we understand the one, so must we understand the other. If, then, the "Branch" is the Messiah, so is "the fruit of the earth"-which may well be, since he was "the grain of wheat" which "fell into the ground and, lied, and so brought forth much fruit" (John 12:24). Excellent and comely; rather, for majesty and beauty (comp. Exodus 28:2, 40). Unto the escaped of Israel; i.e. "to those who shall have our-rived the great calamity, and become citizens of the restored Jerusalem." Dr. Kay well remarks that "the prophecy was adequately fulfilled only in those who 'saved themselves' from the generation which rejected Christ. That remnant was the germ of the Catholic Church, made such by being incorporated into the true Vine" ('Speaker's Commentary,' note at loc.).
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious,.... When the beauty of the Jewish women shall be taken away, and their men shall he slain; by whom is meant, not the righteous and wise men left among the Jews, as Jarchi and Aben Ezra; nor Hezekiah; which is the sense of some, as the latter observes: but the Messiah, as Kimchi, and so the Targum, which paraphrases the words thus,
"at that time shall the Messiah of the Lord be for joy and glory;''
and the Septuagint understand it of a divine Person appearing on earth, rendering the words, "for in that day God shall shine in counsel with glory upon the earth"; and so the Arabic version. Christ is called "the branch", not as God, but as man, not as a son, but as a servant, as Mediator; and it chiefly regards his descent from David, and when his family was very mean and low; and a branch being but a tender thing, it denotes Christ's state of humiliation on earth, when he grew up as a tender plant before the Lord, and was contemptible in the eyes of men: and he is called the branch "of the Lord", because of his raising up, and bringing forth; see Zechariah 3:8 and yet this branch became "beautiful", being laden with the fruits of divine grace, such as righteousness, reconciliation, peace, pardon, adoption, sanctification, and eternal life; as well as having all his people as branches growing on him, and receiving their life and fruitfulness from him: and "glorious", being the branch made strong to do the work of the Lord, by his obedience and death; and especially he became glorious when raised from the dead, when he ascended up to heaven, and was exalted there at the right hand of God; and when his Gospel was spread and his kingdom increased in the Gentile world, as it did, both before and after the destruction of Jerusalem, the time here referred to; and which will he in a more glorious condition in the last days; and now he is glorious in the eyes of all that believe in him, and is glorified by them; and when he comes a second time, he will appear in his own and his father's glory, and in the glory of the holy angels.
And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely; not the children of the righteous, as Jarchi; nor , "the doers of the law", as the Targum; see Romans 2:13 but the Messiah, as before, as Kimchi well observes; called "the fruit of the earth", to show that he is not a dry and withered, but a fruitful branch, and which should fill the earth with fruit; and because he sprung from the earth as man, and was the fruit of a woman, that was of the earth, earthly; and so this, as the former, denotes the meanness of Christ in human nature, while here on earth; and yet he became, as these words foretold be should, "excellent": he appeared to be excellent in his person as the Son of God, and to have a more excellent name and nature than the angels, and fairer than the sons of men; to be excellent as the cedars, and more excellent than the mountains of prey; to have obtained a more excellent ministry than Aaron and his sons; to be excellent in all his offices of Prophet, Priest, and King; and particularly in the fruits and blessings of grace, which grew upon him, and came from him; see Deuteronomy 33:13 "and comely", in his person, as God and man, in the perfections of his divine nature, and in the fulness of his grace; and so are his people, as considered in him, who are made perfectly comely, through the comeliness he puts upon them: and so he is
for them that are escaped of Israel; not beautiful and glorious; excellent and comely, in the view of all men, only them that believe, who have seen his glory, and have tasted that he is gracious; these are the remnant according to the election of grace, the preserved of Israel, the chosen of God, and precious, who were saved from that untoward generation, the Jews, and escaped the destruction of Jerusalem, and were saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
2. In contrast to those on whom vengeance falls, there is a manifestation of Jesus Christ to the "escaped of Israel" in His characteristic attributes, beauty and glory, typified in Aaron's garments (Ex 28:2). Their sanctification is promised as the fruit of their being "written" in the book of life by sovereign love (Isa 4:3); the means of it are the "spirit of judgment" and that of "burning" (Isa 4:4). Their "defense" by the special presence of Jesus Christ is promised (Isa 4:5, 6).
branch—the sprout of Jehovah. Messiah (Jer 23:5; 33:15; Zec 3:8; 6:12; Lu 1:78, Margin). The parallel clause does not, as Maurer objects, oppose this; for "fruit of the earth" answers to "branch"; He shall not be a dry, but a fruit-bearing branch (Isa 27:6; Eze 34:23-27). He is "of the earth" in His birth and death, while He is also "of the Lord" (Jehovah) (Joh 12:24). His name, "the Branch," chiefly regards His descent from David, when the family was low and reduced (Lu 2:4, 7, 24); a sprout with more than David's glory, springing as from a decayed tree (Isa 11:1; 53:2; Re 22:16).
excellent—(Heb 1:4; 8:6).
comely—(So 5:15, 16; Eze 16:14).
escaped of Israel—the elect remnant (Ro 11:5); (1) in the return from Babylon; (2) in the escape from Jerusalem's destruction under Titus; (3) in the still future assault on Jerusalem, and deliverance of "the third part"; events mutually analogous, like concentric circles (Zec 12:2-10; 13:8, 9, &c.; 14:2; Eze 39:23-29; Joe 3:1-21).
Isaiah 4:2 Additional Commentaries
A Remnant in Zion
1For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!" 2In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors of Israel. 3It will come about that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy-- everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem.…

November 26th 2008 4:25 am
Welcome to WoW Insider's gallery guide to the dungeons of Wrath of the Lich King! Within this guide you'll find a brief description of each 5-man instance, along with key information such as what level you can run them and where you can find their quests.
While paging through, keep in mind that all of them have a Daily Heroic quest that you can find in Dalaran at level 80, and the instances tuned for level 80 have a regular daily quest as well, also found in Dalaran. These two dailies are on a random rotation, just like they were for The Burning Crusade's dungeons.
Utgarde Keep is, most likely, one of the first dungeons you'll be running in Northrend. It's tuned for level 70 players, but casters and healers may find themselves able to run the dungeon just fine.
Utgarde Keep, stronghold of the native Vrykul, is located more or less in the center of the Howling Fjord, with the Alliance town of Valgarde in its shadow. The Horde settlement, Vengeance Landing, isn't too much farther away, just a lift and a trot down the road will get you there.
The Alliance will find their quests at the very foot of Utgarde Keep, from Defender Mordun. He offers two quests: Disarmament and Into Utgarde!
The Horde gets their quests from High Executor Anselm in Vengeance Landing and Dark Ranger Marrah who is within the instance itself. A Score to Settle, Disarmament, and Ingvar Must Die! are the available quests. Some prerequisites apply.
We have a full, detailed guide for Utgarde Keep, should you need it.
The Nexus is the other beginning dungeon, though tuned slightly harder than Utgarde keep, with a given recommendation of running it at level 71. In our experiences, level 70 is more than sufficient. The Nexus is a non-linear dungeon, meaning the various bosses can be done in any order, as long as they're all done before you go after the final boss.
This dungeon, as with all dungeons and raids found in the Coldarra, follows the story of the Blue Dragonflight and their attempts to take magic away from the mortal races of Azeroth. Unlike Utgarde Keep, acquiring all of the quests for The Nexus prior to running the dungeon will take some time investment. To even get to the Coldarra (besides Warlock or Meeting Stone summons) is to run a series of quests at the Amber Ledge, directly across from the strait splitting the Coldarra from the mainland. Once you complete the end of the chain, you'll be flown over to the Transitus Shield in Coldarra. Don't get excited yet, because if you want the dungeon's quests, you have more questing to do out here. Just complete the various chains available to you, just about all of them lead to a quest for The Nexus.
When you're all done, you should end up with the following four quests:
-Have They No Shame?
-Postponing the Inevitable
-Prisoner of War
Azjol-Nerub is level 72+ dungeon that takes place underground, in the current Nerubian kingdom of... well, Azjol-Nerub. It can be found underground in the western half of the Dragonblight, in the absurdly confusing Pit of Narjun. It's quite possibly the shortest dungeon in Wrath of the Lich King, and rarely takes more than 30 minutes to complete.
The only quests for this dungeon can be found directly outside of the dungeon (convenient!) from a neutral, still-living Nerubian Kilix the Unraveler.
The quests available are:
-Don't Forget the Eggs!
-Death to the Traitor King
Ahn'kahet is, conveniently, located directly next to Azjol-Nerub in the Dragonblight. It's the region of Azjol-Nerub that served as the Nerubian Kingdom before the current area named Azjol-Nerub became their capital. Make sense? Think of Ahn'kahet as "Old Azjol-Nerub" and the area now called Azjol-Nerub as "New Azjol-Nerub." Is that better? No? Oh well. All you need to know is that it's infested with not only the Scourge, but servants of the Old Gods as well.
It's a level 73+ dungeon, and just like Azjol-Nerub, its quests can be acquired in or around the instance itself. Kilix the Unraveler has one quest, and the other is a drop from the elementals down in the mushroomy area of the instance toward the end. The quests are:
-The Faceless Ones
-Funky Fungi (Drop)
Exclusively on Heroic mode, you'll find an extra boss named Amanitar down in that boggy region. It's pretty neat, so while those quest mobs are the only thing down there on Normal mode, don't just skip it on Heroic.
In addition to that boss, Heroic Ahn'kahet has an extra quest as well. Kilix will offer level 80 players the quest All Things in Good Time which is a daily quest. It's a timed quest, so be mindful of that when you start pulling. You have one hour to complete the dungeon, starting at your first pull. Good luck!
Drak'Tharon Keep is a level 75+ dungeon on the border of the Grizzly Hills and Zul'Drak. It's a Drakkari Ice Troll stronghold that's been invaded (and mostly taken) by the Scourge.
The quests for this instance are more like The Nexus than either of the Azjol-Nerub instances. It's going to take a little bit of time to get them, because they tend to come at the end of quest chains. To get these chains started, quest around in your starter towns (Amberpine Lodge, Conquest Hold) until they direct you to Granite Springs.
Just keep questing in Granite Springs and follow the various chains until you end up with two quests for the dungeon. The quests are:
-Search and Rescue
-Cleansing Drak'Tharon
The Blue Dragonflight has infiltrated Dalaran and are sending agents into the Violet Hold, Dalaran's high security prison, to try to release some of the most dangerous creatures in Azeroth so they may rampage through the city and put an end to the Kirin Tor. It's your job to stop it from happening.
This dungeon is some sort of cross between Black Morass and Arcatraz, tossing out the annoying parts of both and turning it into distilled awesome.
Gundrak is the culmination of all that happens in the zone of Zul'Drak as you quest, and the final chapter of that story. Because of that, this level 76+ dungeon is best done after you've quested through all of Zul'Drak from beginning to end. At least, that would be best if you want all of the quests. That's the best guidance I can give you in that case. Finish Zul'Drak, run Gundrak.
Once you've gone through all of Zul'Drak, you should end up with four quests for this dungeon. They are...
-For Posterity
-Gal'darah Must Pay
-One of a Kind
-Unfinished Business
The Halls of Stone (levels 77+) is one of the first dungeons in Wrath that requires you to have a flying mount, unless you have a few friends you can summon you to your destination. It's a part of Ulduar, in the very northern mountains of the Storm Peaks. It's here that you really start getting into the nitty gritty of the Titan lore, and the origins of... just about everything!
Oddly, there are no quests that lead you here, simply the spirit of adventure pushing you forward. Which makes sense in a strange way, considering who and what you find within the Halls. When you run into you'll-know-who, be warned that it starts an escort quest. Make sure your party is all on the same page before you start it!
The Halls of Lightning is a direct continuation of the events in the Halls of Stone, as well as everything that happens in the Storm Peaks as a whole. This level 78+ dungeon makes little to no sense story-wise unless you've done Halls of Stone first, and a hefty amount of the Storm Peaks quests. You also can't get the Halls of Lightning quests at all without hefty work in the Peaks.
The quest chains that lead to the Halls of Lightning start as early as K3, the very beginning of the zone, but it's worth it. Really, it is. The Drakkensryd is a better reward for doing the chain than any item. Once you become buddies with the Sons of Hodir, you'll be directed toward the Halls of Lightning.
When all is said and done, you want the following quests:
n-Diametrically Opposed
-Whatever it Takes!
The questline is very, very long, so I recommend checking out the details on Wowhead if you're trying to get it done in a hurry.
The Infinite Dragonflight is up to their old tricks again, meddling in the timeline and all of that jazz. The Culling of Stratholme can be done as early as level 77, but I recommend waiting a bit longer unless you're quite well geared. Head on into the newly opened timeway in the Caverns of Time, and you'll find an old 'friend' a little ways into the dungeon. That'll be your source of quests for this dungeon!
The Culling of Stratholme has been one of the more controversial dungeons of Wrath, simply due to the subject matter. The Infinite Dragonflight is trying to hide the plagued grain from Prince Arthas, so he never slaughters the people of Stratholme. Should we really be helping Arthas do that? What would happen if the Infinite did prevent him from doing it? Maybe he wouldn't have become the Lich King. Wouldn't that be a good thing? Personally, I'd like to point out the Lich King helped us survive Mount Hyjal in a roundabout way, but hey. You never know. Maybe Lordaeron not falling to ruin would've been a bigger help.
The Oculus is a non-linear, outdoor dungeon in the Coldarra region. It's tuned for level 80 players, and is really rather unique! The dungeon actually takes place on the rings of the Nexus itself, the massive arcane tower in the center of Coldarra. You travel from ring to ring on the back of Ruby, Amber and Emerald drakes. You take them into combat in some cases as well, each of them filling one of the tank/healer/DPS roles. Experiment a little! It's fun.
While there are technically four quests for The Oculus, they're all part of one chain that you complete within the instance. Your first time in the dungeon, doing this questline will give you a vague idea in what order certain things need to be done. While the Oculus is in part non-linear, there are certain things you need to do in order to continue moving through the instance. If you're someone who's easily confused, I highly recommend picking up The Struggle Persists from Raelorasz in the Transitus Shield.
Utgarde Pinnacle, oddly, has no lead-in quests, despite it being the conclusion to a large portion of the Vrykul story. It only has a couple of quests, both of which can be picked up directly inside of the instance, which is tuned for level 80.
King Ymiron is your final target here, the head honcho of the Howling Fjord Vrykul. You're taking him out to prevent him from returning to Valhalas to lead his people, though you wouldn't know it from the Pinnacle quests themselves. Along the way are a number of bosses with some pretty neat mechanics, so don't feel bad if you don't get it right away!
That's all of the 5-man dungeons in Wrath of the Lich King, but if you're looking for more guides or galleries, we have plenty of material for you.

"STOP IT!": Gmail users say Google sends spam messages in their namesBy Gina on March 16, 2012 | Spam and email, Spam message, spam email letters, Google sends spam, Gmail users get spam from Google
Gmail users are blaming Google of accessing their contact lists and sending spam emails to contacts to non-Gmail users. According to Gmail users, spam emails were sent in their names to friends that don't use Gmail.
Such situation, irate many users and one of them wrote "STOP IT!" on Google's forum. "At no point did I say it was ok for Google to send email messages to my non-GMail contacts recommending they sign up for GMail," Google's forum users said.
The contents of the e-mails are reproduced on the forum. The subject line is "(My Name) wants to chat."
MrCheck, the user that posted message on Google's forum, also claims that a contact of his responded back to the unauthorized email and informed him that he doesn't use Gmail or Google Talk.
Even if MrCheck posted the message in November of last year, nowadays there are also Gmail users that claim it has happened to them as well. Jen O. also expressed frustration: "This just happened to me! I posted something in a Google group today, and the same message you described went to everyone in the group! What's going on?! Not happy Google...."
Google responded to an issue and commented: "It sounds like you are seeing chat invite emails," said Sarah, a Gmail Community Manager. "These emails are generally sent when you invite a non-Gmail user to chat with you."

"I understand the very short-term, expedient desire to have the insurance of a 60th vote," Sestak said, speaking of the implications of Specter's April party switch and why the longtime senator was so quickly embraced by the administration.But he added of Obama: "I believe in his heart of hearts, he really wants a real Democrat to win this race, and I think he very much respects that we are pretty independent-minded in Pennsylvania and we should have a choice."Asked directly if a plea from Obama would make any difference, Sestak shook his head and said: "No."
Maloney, a veteran member of Congress who represents much of New York City's silk-stocking Upper East Side, dispatched longtime Democratic consultant and her likely chief campaign strategist Joe Trippi to state her intentions about a potential challenge to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.)."She's way past all that," Trippi said when asked about how Maloney would respond to a request from Obama to stay out of the race. "She really believes the people of New York deserve a choice. She's not somebody who's going to back down."
For Obama, there's an added irony that isn't lost on some Democrats — that the ultimate insurgent candidate is now in the incumbent-protection business.In the case of Sestak and Maloney, Obama may be reaping what he sowed. While Hillary Clinton wasn't an incumbent in the presidential race, she was the establishment figure who many Democratic elites rallied around early on in the primary. But the president proved that an insurgent can win and that Democratic primary voters can buck their elected leaders."Who do they think inspired these people to run?" asked Trippi. "They started this. They took on the established order of the party. If they had listened to the establishment, Obama wouldn't be in the White House. It's hard for them to argue with this when they blazed the trail."

At AACR, Curis also disclosed that its April 2005 discovery collaboration agreement with Genentech focused on developing drug candidates that target the Wnt signaling pathway, particularly for potential cancer indications. Abnormal activation of Wnt signaling is present in various cancers, including colon, breast and ovarian cancers. Developing drug candidates that are designed to inhibit, or antagonize, Wnt signaling could hopefully provide a potential option in certain cancers.
On April 14, data was presented during an Educational Session titled "Targeting the Wnt Pathway in Cancer," which included a discussion of the Curis-Genentech joint effort in the identification of small molecule inhibitors of the Wnt pathway, under the April 2005 discovery collaboration agreement. The parties' research efforts have yielded a class of Wnt antagonists that, in preclinical studies, inhibit the Wnt pathway by acting upstream of beta-catenin, which is believed to be an important molecular target in the Wnt pathway. Inhibiting such an upstream molecular target may represent an attractive approach for potential inhibition of the Wnt pathway in cancer cells with abnormally active Wnt signaling.
In addition to the Educational Session, a poster was also
presented at the conference describing the use of Hedgehog
antagonists in a preclinical pancreatic tumor model. In these
studies, Genentech and Curis scientists used a potent small
molecule antagonist of the Hedgehog pathway on mice implanted with
primary human pancreatic cancer xenografts. The scientists found
that antagonizing the Hedgehog pathway res

META lab coats are known for their impeccable construction and functionality. This unisex lab coat is available in blue, grey, navy or white. Four-button coat with one-piece back with two-piece swing belt. Features hand-access slits, three outside pockets, one inside pocket. Made of soil-release cotton/polyester poplin.
Good price, good quality and shipped on time.
Looks good. Fabric lightweight.
It's a nice fit to the jacket but the fabric is pretty thin and doesn't look very high quality. I bought this so our doctor could have an embroidered lab jacket, but I don't think the embroidery will look very good on this fabric. I think I will return.
The quality and monogramming of your unisex lab coats is good; however, the arm length and height of the waist pockets are designed for a female's frame.
The lab coats are nice. I really like the lightweight fabric. They seemed to come out of the wash nicely. Just to avoid possible shrinkage, I did not place them in the dryer.

Another Man's Wife Goes Black
Written by User / Oct 10, 1999
By User
Reading all the posts gave me the idea that a lot of white wives may be curious about what they're missing and need just a little opportunity to lose their inhibitions and experience a black cock: to experience a good hard fuck outside the constraints of marriage.
I picked as my first encounter a young white woman who lived in an apartment just down the hall. She was often alone while her husband traveled. Although she tended to dress and act conservatively, she could be very flirtatious when he had been out of town for more than a few days. I judged her to be in her late twenties and I knew she had been married for 10 years.
I began my approach two weeks ago. Her husband had just left for three weeks and I met her in the party room where we played a few rounds of pool and I listened to her talk about herself. I could sense that she wanted some masculine attention. Interesting things came out, like her husband was only her second lover and the greatest sex she ever had was with her first. He was her high school boyfriend and they had to "do it" fearing they could be caught at anytime. The sense of danger enhanced her enjoyment.
Last week, the complex held a Saturday night barbecue. When I found out she was not coming, I called and urged her to come. It took some talking but she finally came down wearing tight, white shorts and a tee shirt. It was very much out of character for her and I sensed she might be thinking about exercising her sexuality. There was no VPL and she appeared to be wearing only a very light bra. I was instantly aroused, especially since I fully intended to fuck her before the night was through.
We talked some and I shared a few beers with her. I wandered off after a bit to socialize with others. About 10:00, she sought me out. She appeared to be a little drunk when she handed me a beer. We went out on the patio and talked for about an hour, drinking several more beers when I suggested we might take a stroll around the property.
The apartment complex is built next to a small lake with most of the opposite side still in its natural state. The management had built a bike path around the lake and, at night, the area was usually unpopulated. We walked slowly to the other side, sipping a few beers I grabbed as we left and talking flirtatiously. I took the opportunity to touch and caress without being overtly sexual. As we walked, she gradually moved closer and our conversation lulled to an almost nervous sense of quiet. I sensed some sexual tension.
We stopped to look at the lights of the apartments reflected in the lake. I moved behind her and began to massage her shoulders as we listened to soft music coming from the party we left behind. As she began to relax, the massage grew broader, moving forward almost to that soft and warm area where her breasts started to swell. She nestled back into my chest, enjoying the music and the gentle touch of my hands.
I began to nibble on the side of her neck and, in her gentle mood, she didn't realize that the tone of the evening had changed. She startled as I traced the outline of her ear with my tongue and attempted to move forward and away. I held her shoulders tightly with my hands and pulled her back, listening to her small gasps and her whimpered "no" as I continued to work on her ear and neck. Despite her whispered objections, she did not try to pull away.
Even as she tilted her head to allow greater access, she continued to quietly protest, telling me she was married and she would never cheat on her husband. I slid my hands forward until I felt her hardening nipples snuggle into the palms of my hands. Her mouth opened as if to say something but nothing came out but a quiet moan. She leaned harder against my chest and began lightly tracing my hands with her fingertips.
I started to turn her around but she resisted, not wanting to look in the face of the man who was about to invade the sanctity of her marriage. My right hand moved downwards and nudged her legs apart. Soon, I was supporting her weight with my fingertips as I slowly masturbated her to the first orgasm she had experienced with someone other than her husband in over a decade. It was a copious, wet cum that soaked the crotch of her white shorts.
I unzipped them and began to tug them down her hips. She leaned forward, bracing herself on a tree trunk as I brought her shorts and her very delicate, small thong panties down to her knees. They fluttered to the ground like a fallen flag of surrender. She gasped when she heard the sound of my zipper freeing my raging hard on. Now completely naked from the waist down and bent forward at the waist, she was well past the point of no return and waiting quietly, almost submissively, to recieve her first black cock.
I reached between her legs to bring her wet slit farther back and stroked it with the head of my cock. When I found the softness of her entrance, I thrust forward, burying myself in her completely. She came almost immediately. I reached under her tee shirt and pushed aside her bra until I held her unfettered breasts in my hands.
I could feel her starting to cum again and I stopped. "Take over," I whispered and she began fucking against me like a cat in heat, her back taking on an erotic rippling motion as she thrust back to take all of me in then arched to slip her pussy almost to the end of my cock. I reached between her legs and pressed low against her pubic bone, pressing her clit down so that it was stimulated more completely by the underside of my cock when we fucked in that position. In a few minutes, we both came hard. It was a phenomenal sex act that left me feeling tremendously alive and vital. As we walked back to her apartment, she wept softly at the memory of her indiscretion.
I spent the night almost feeling guilty. At 8:00 AM, however, I heard a soft knock on my door. When I answered, she was standing there in her robe with a cup of coffee in her hand. She handed me the coffee then untied the sash and the robe parted, revealing that she was wearing nothing underneath. I quickly pulled her into my apartment and shut the door. She didn't leave until after lunch. I taught her some things about fucking that her husband had never imagined.
I'll post again next time I seduce a willing wife.

Step 1: Remove Triangle Screws
Step 2: Dremmel the Screws
Step 3: Get That Case Open
Step 4: The Battery Cells
Step 5: Make a Mess
I gotta try this hack....I have had my iRobot vacuum for 3 years and never actually got a new battery...now maybe I won't have to buy one :)
I gotta try this hack....I have had my iRobot vacuum for 3 years and never actually got a new battery...now maybe I won't have to buy one :)
The other two read 18.2 and 16.5 but will not run a Romba.
I opened the 16.5 one using the chisel method (I have a triangle screwdriver). I used the dremel tool to grind a hole in the insulation and measured the voltage of each cell.
1.38 1.39 1.39 1.39 1.39 1.30 1.38 1.39 1.36 1.39 1.38 1.36 1.34
This addes up to 16.5 . This battery will not run a romba so how do I know which is the bad cell and why wont it run? (since this voltage is higher than the new one)
All suggestions will be appricated.
I opened the 16.5 volt battery using the chisel method (I have a triangle screwdriver). I used the dremel tool to grind a hole in the insulation and measured the voltage of each cell.
1.38 1.39 1.39 1.39 1.39 1.30 1.38 1.39 1.36 1.39 1.38 1.36 1.34
although it is 16.5 volts is won't charge up enough to run a romba.
If it is not charging there is probably too much built up resistance (sulfation). In that case it is typically the charger shutting off. I've made some chargers that just rev up the voltage so that weak cells can be recovered. However, they are not for commercial sale at this time.
Thanks, great idea!
1. you have to keep firm downward pressure to keep it from walking out
2. you may damage one of the wings of the bit
3. the screws that have cracking plastic around them are torqued the most
If I can get in it I can fix it. Where should I make the cut?
You will need:
1. Largish (disposible) hex head screwdriver (or one of those "quick replacement" bits you always find at the bottom of your toolbox) or an old allenkey. The hexbit are the ones that have 6 sides on them.. I used one I found in my batterydrill set.
2. Angle Grinder with a cutting disk (the finer the better)
3. wide, sharp Chisel
With the anglegrinder grind off three opposite points of the hexhead driver to make a triangle. Grind and check until it fits in the screw (you can, of course use anything and grind it into a triangle - this is what worked for me)
Once you have the size correct, you should be able to easily remove all of the screws (and be able to put them back!).
Check to see if the case opens. Some people have reported that the case is heavily glued - others have been able to open theirs straight up.. I guess its something of the manuf. batch.
anyway... to open mine, I got a sharp chisle and a GENTLE tap on it (with my hand) and it was enough to break the glue seal.. repeat around the case.
It goes without saying.. don't be forceful or you will damage the case and batteries,. Take your time.
Using a sharp chisle and you won't get those ugly "screwdriver twists" others get trying to force the case open.
Once I did this - my batterybox looked almost new! A small cleanup of the plastic and the old glue with a sharp knife and you wouldn't know it had been opened!
because if it isn't, this might be plagiarism.
and no, I was just trying to figure out how to fix my own roomba and came across both.
I would suggest getting the replacement cells and triangle bit-tool from batteriesinaflash -dot-calm if you're handy with a soldering iron and flux and solder and return the old cells to radio slack where they ascribe to the Charge up to Recycle resource reclamation program and will route old cells to the right places.
We hope.

Middle School Mania Recap
On April 12th, around 100 middle school students made their way to Ohio Christian University to attend Middle School Mania, a fun event designed for 6th-8th grade students.
This year's theme was "Fearless Survivor" based on 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." It was a fun-filled day designed to encourage and challenge middle school students to face their fears by trusting in the Lord and relying on others.
They were introduced to OCU students and staff while taking part in powership worship time, engaging with captivating speakers and embarking on exciting activities including "Tribal Challenges" led by the OCU Camp Teams and staff from Camp Marengo.
The worship was led by the Circleville Naz Frontline Worship Band, all made up of OCU alumni. The speakers were Aaron Duvall, Lead Pastor at University Church and Director of Spiritual Formation at OCU and Rick Cooper, the voice of the OCU Basketball broadcasts and a sports broadcasting and youth ministry veteran. Lunch was provided by Chick-Fil-A of Grove City.
"My teens really loved MSM. They wouldn't stop talking about the fun, games, friends and worship. I truly believe they may have seen God in a fun way. For a Youth Pastor, it's awesome because we can go to an event that the teens love and actually relax and enjoy it." - Rick Cessna, Youth Director for Grace United Methodist Chuch in Gallipolis
"The students we brought had a wonderful time. They really enjoyed the speakers and worship music." - Tina Anderson, Volunteer for Rose Avenue Community Center in Washington Court House
To find out about next year's event and other fun events we have for youth groups, join our Youth Leader Email List or contact Traditional Admissions at 1-877-762-8669 or email@example.com.

Demand high for MU's Asperger program
HUNTINGTON -- When Rebecca Wallen first read about Asperger Syndrome, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"It sounded like they had written the book about my son," she said.
While much remains to be known about this form of autism, advocates say programs and services continue to be needed locally. A college program for students with Asperger syndrome has been available at the West Virginia Autism Training Center at Marshall University since 2002, but waiting lists abound.
The lists -- which seem to exist for all programs at the Autism Training Center -- reflect the dramatic increase in autistic disorder diagnoses nationwide, according to Barbara Becker-Cottrill, executive director of the center.
"We just have not had the capability to keep up with the demand for services," she said.
Approximately 1,480 families in West Virginia are registered for assistance from the Autism Training Center, she said. Services range from family coaching to teacher training.
Becker-Cottrill said waiting lists should be reduced, though, as the center will be able to serve more people thanks to $1 million allocated to the Autism Training Center this past legislative session.
Asperger is an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) considered to be a mild, high-functioning form of autism. It often includes characteristics like peculiar speech and problems with non-verbal communication such as gestures. People with ASDs range from gifted to severely challenged.
Wallen's teenage son was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome a few years ago, at age 14. He had previously been diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and was told in elementary school that he was above average verbally but below average in writing and expression. He also has what Wallen calls sensory issues -- with extreme sensitivity to certain materials and sounds. He wears the same types of shoes, pants and T-shirts each day.
The Marshall program supports students with Asperger syndrome who have the grades to be accepted into the school. The program helps them navigate university life, Becker-Cottrill said.
The program pairs students with staff who use a positive behavior support approach to assist students with social, communication, academic, leisure and personal living needs.
"Academically, they don't need much support. But they do need someone to say, 'Your paper's due next week. Have you started it?' " Becker-Cottrill said.
While many students may need reminders, such needs are greater for students with Asperger's, she said.
"Our kids might do their homework but leave it in the dorm and not understand that's not where it's supposed to be," she said.
Fourteen students are currently enrolled in the program, which has a waiting list of more than 200 people from all over the United States.
Becker-Cottrill said the program is successful and unique. It recently was featured on ABC's "Good Morning America" as one of few programs in the country specifically for students with Asperger syndrome.
Ruth Christ Sullivan, former director of the Autism Services Center in Huntington and mother of Joseph Sullivan, who was an inspiration for "Rain Man," called the Marshall center the best in the country.
She said the Asperger program gives students who are often overlooked and usually too disorganized or anxious to sit in a classroom a chance to succeed.
Wallen said children with Asperger syndrome tend to get "lost in the cracks." The average person probably can't find anything different about her son at first, for example, she said. However, something like a ball in his sock will cause him to panic.
She said the diagnosis can be devastating for some people, who may feel overwhelmed and not know where to turn. The Huntington area is fortunate, she said, because of the support of places like the Autism Training Center and the people of the Huntington Area Autism Society.
Dealing with Asperger syndrome may require a different way of thinking and teaching, but the experience doesn't have to be negative, Wallen said.
"Your child is just as special as anything. They're just as smart as before," she said. "You just have to go about things differently."
