i am planning on taking my hot water bottle with me for cold night (since im going to be having a panned campfire most nightsbut it got me thinking, is there a product or way so you can store drinking/cooking water in it and drink it?or use the boiled water the next morning for drinking?would save water/time/energycurrent water bottles water has a strong smell of plastic/rubber when i empty it, so thats a no gobut maybe there are other materials/products or someone here may already have the answer to this! :)haha

i dont get it...i cant snuggle with a pot
It a bottle and a pot boil your water put the lid on and go to sleep. Wake up in the morning and drink after you agitate to get the oxygen back in the water.
okay well its better than nothing so far,would prefere like abag/bottle bendy kind of container thats close to a waterbottle...just cant seem to get my head around sleeping with that thing...plus in the morning it will be cold as ice, if i do not wake up before it has cooled my body temp will slide down with it
I used an Aqua Fina Bottle or a similar 20 oz plastic soda bottle for a hot water bottle on my hikes when in snow country.I found it weird to sleep with a plastic bottle too.My trick to making it more comfortable was as follows:Boil 20 ounces of water on your stove.Pour water into your plastic soda bottle.Don't worry about the heat.. even the thinnest plastic bottle handles boiling water just fine (even after thousands of miles use) and with a tight cap the cooling water provides a vacuum seal throughout the night.Slip your hot bottle into a sock. Put the bottle between your feet until they are toasty hot and begin to sweat.Then place the sock encased bottle between your thighs.Sleep happily even in a wet down bag in temps well below it's comfort range.Wake and shake the bottle as suggested above with some added pomegranite/cherry flavored crystal lite or Starbucks Via coffee.The bottle of water will not be hot in the morning, obviously, but i never felt that it was ice cold either. It was body temperature.Either way it makes a better morning drink than icewater left outside your bag. (My opinion) and the micro ground coffee mixes just fine with tepid water.The system works beautifully!YMMV

Hey thanks alot for that Matthew seems like a great system you have got going theremay i ask what kind of bottle container though?i have some but when boiling/hot water has been in them i can taste i sort of plastic taint...not sure thats good(ill do some research on some good plastic bottles now though)Thanks again!
I used soda and water bottles found along the trail or in trail towns.Occasionally i changed bottles if they got too grungy.The plastic taste goes away the longer you use a bottle.Basically after a week the bottle imparts almost no taste.I think my record for a bottle was 2,100 miles along the PCT before the DEET repellant on my hands shrunk the bottle so much that I finally chucked it.No bottle i ever had in 7,500 miles leaked a drop.Yea, i suppose there is the whole BPA thingy and all that..I suppose if you think that is a danger than this strategy may not be for you.Nothing wrong with that.The beauty of using "trash" for a water bottle is:1. you are recycling.2. Lighter than commercial "hiking" water bottles.3. you get a "free" liter of soda every time you swap for a new bottle... UH possible 4. is when you try to make Pistachio pudding in you soda bottle and it turns out to thick.. it is not too painful at that point to ditch it in a trash can in town and get a shiny new one for $1.29 plus a liter of orange crush inside!
do you fully have the water boiling?i usd to clean out a 3litre plastic container with boiling water and it crumples...have you had that?also worried about it leakingalthough right now i am browsing some stainless steel bottles online, not sure if they would do the trick, but they have a more secure lid (last thing i would want is scalding my legs as well as getting my down bag wet :(
I have never seen any plastic soda or water bottle do anything more than soften up when boiling water is put inside.As for boiling, well the lowest altitude of the places i have used this trick would be the Sierra Nevada (about 9,000), the Cascades (6,000 or so) and the San Juans of Colorado (Also 9 to 11,000).The hot water bottle trick is , as you would expect, mostly a high altitude/cold temperature thing.So I suppose the boiling temperature was less than 212 degrees Farenheit.So around 170 degree water was what i was using at that altitude.Perhaps at sea level there could be an issue with true 212 degree water in a cheap plastic soda/water bottle.The again, never need to use the trick at those altitudes.Either way I can say that I have never had a failure nor have any of my long distance hiker buddies spoken of a failure of a soda bottle treated in this way.I am sure there is one person out there that has had a failure, but i never met them.Make sure the cap is tight.Replace the bottle occasionally.Thats the best advice i have.
awesome, thanks a lot for your help, it will be put to good use! :)
I had Matthews' experience with plastic soda bottles, until last week on a packrafting trip in Alaska. I was using a 1 liter wide mouthed pepsi bottle (as I've done for many months of backpacking and trip leading) that I put boiling water into for a hot drink, and the plastic shrunk and melted along one side. The bottle was usable for a short while, but looked severely mangled. FWIW If you are used to coffee, tea or cocoa on trail, maybe stick to making in in your bowl or cookpot.
I have had soda bottles shrink when first filled with boiling water. I use two identical bottles and had about 20% reduction in volume. If I pour carefully I get a smaller version of the original and avoid the distortion. YMMV.
"I was in the pool!"
Could you use a hydration bladder or Platypus bottle? That would be more like a traditional hot water bottle instead of having a soda bottle in your sleeping bag. IMO boiled water tastes nasty, so I'd be inclined to use it for cooking or washing in the morning, but I suppose you could just add some Gatorade powder to disguise the taste.
Eugene,You beat me to it! Classic episode!!!Susan
MSR Dromlite hydration res + hot water bottle. Works like a charm.
I remembered reading about putting hot water in a Platypus and emailed Cascade Designs to get their take on it I got a quick reply stating: "Thank you for contacting Cascade Designs, Inc. in regards to our Platypus products. Our Platypus bottles and reservoirs are made of a durable polyethylene film that can handle any temperature of water from freezing to boiling."Sounds like a Platypus would be a good solution to me. The water will be purified by boiling and ready to use for breakfast. I guess you could wrap it in some clothing if it is too hot at the start.
I like platy's because they are soft-sided and less obtrusive than a soda bottle. I've also found that placing the bottle at my groin is warmer than my feet. I keep a bottle of water in my bag at all night temps under like 60*F, even if it's not warmed on a stove. Warming water in my bag all night means my body does a portion of the heating so I use less fuel cooking.
I have put boiling water in a nalgene bottle and then wrapped it in spare clothing and put it in my sleeping bag on very cold nights. However, since I don't carry nalgenes anymore, and I'm not so sure I would trust a disposable platic bottle, it's nice to know playtpus bags can handle boiling water.

Aurora (2011)
Aurora is a murder mystery turned on its head - where mystery's not the culprit, but the motive. Inside a non-discript apartment kitchen, a man and woman discuss the inconsistencies in Little Red Riding Hood, their voices hushed, mindful of waking the little sleeping girl in the next room. Behind a line of abandoned trailers, on the outskirts of Bucharest, the same man waits for something or someone to arrive. The man's name is Viorel. He is 42 years old, divorced, a father of two young girls, and today he will carry out his plan that will bring order to his world.

If you're looking for the perfect marriage of classic, vintage rock tones with modern features and levels of gain, your search is over!
The Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head is an all-valve amplifier with a choice of two dynamic ranges selectable by footswitch. The Low range equates equates to the performance you would come to expect from a stock vintage Marshall amplifier in terms of tone and available gain. The High range adds an extra preamp valve into the signal path, facilitating those classic hard rock tones of the seventies. Add to this the ability to dynamically interface with your instrument's Volume and Tone controls and the experience translates into a truly expressive and organic feel in performance.
Two frequency selective Pre-amp Volumes (Gains) - Body and Detail - facilitate greater flexibility in tone shaping for individual guitars and styles while the power amplifier is heavily influenced by the first Marshall amplifiers to be produced, with four KT66 output valves yielding that substantial, fat and smooth tone. A MID Boost switch on the front panel fattens the tone even more while a traditional Marshall tone control circuit enables fine tuning of your sound.
A master volume has been included in order to practically manage the output levels at all venues. This is implemented after the phase splitter in order to fully exploit maximum preamp drive when the master is turned down low. A reverb level control mixes the on board plate reverb with the direct signal to whatever degree the player chooses. The reverb can be toggled on and off via the footswitch.
Finally, a series FX loop is provided for those players who wish to use outboard effects to further enhance their sound. Loop levels of —10dB and +4dB can be controlled via a rear panel switch as well as the option to completely bypass this feature if it is not required.
The cosmetics are also a carefully crafted hybrid of old and new styles — made even more dramatic by the deep purple vinyl that covers the entire series.
Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.

I have been playing for over 30 years and have owned all sorts of Marshalls, Mesa's, and boutique type amps. Like many of you I change speakers, try different tubes, make mods to my pedals and guitars to dial in "the tone".By chance I got to play the 50 watt version of this head and was immediately blown away with the simplicity and pure tone of the amp, it came home with me. While the 50 watt head sounded great it did not have enough headroom IMO to push two 4x12 cabinets. So I sold it and got this amp, the 2466. If you are simply recording, playing at home, church or smaller venues the 50 watt 2266 will suit you. However if you play loud, need headroom, and are going to push two 4x12 cabinets the 100watt 2466 version is a must.Once home it took only minutes to find that sweet spot. This amp is much like the 1959SLP but I truly like this tone more. Wonderful musical harmonics sustain and classic 70s tone. Best way to describe it is to listen to some early Bad Company or early AC/DC and you got it. I played my single coil American Strat and tones such as Trower and Blackmore came real easy. My Les Paul has '57 pickups and will also easily reproduce Jimmy Page's sound. The foot switch controls the reverb and kicks in another preamp tube. There is plenty of gain in this head and IMO putting any distortion stomp box in front of this thing would be a crime. The matching cabinet has a special speakers voiced for this amp that are wonderful, but I am using Vintage 30?s in my cabs and a stack will rip your face off.It is about time that one of these amp manufactures builds a players amp, one that is no frills, easily controlled at your guitars volume and picks up the subtle picking and fingering to turn it into to cream. This amp is not for you metal heads or players that don't know what great tone is. However if you have been searching for years for that perfect sound with no added effects that can give you classic clean and crunch and even a bit of modern gain, than the Marshall Vintage Modern has to be on your list.Thank you Marshall

Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
Marvelous amps. One channel and a simple front panel. They are definitely Marshalls with plenty of grind but they also have the soulful tone of the old Bluesy JTM's. These amps are kind of like a "what-if" alternate history. What if Marshall had kept a product line on the JTM path when they began developing the ever brighter, EL34 equipped Lead and Super lead models, which culminated in the JCM800,which is the foundation for all modern Marshall amps since 1981. The Vintage Modern is the logical end result of that wish fulfillment exercise. I guess I should try to find something wrong with them. Some dont like the Dynamic Range feature because it boosts the volume too much to use for soloing. (But its not a lead boost, that's why its called a "range" switch. Use one of your 20 distortion pedals for that).

Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
Ok this amp is great if u want the plexi or a modded plexi it gives you both and the tone is awsome your pickups will play a big part on your tone so find ones you like if you want a metal tone just add a metal muf and a xotic booster the booster alone make it just so much fuller at bed room levals for clean and overdrive. its the best sounding marshall i've played!! but there all great Rock ON!!
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
Overall this Marshall lacks gain. But many people will do many different things for Gain via Loop or instrument input with probably over a million options out there for doing such a thing. For me I like what Im doing because I don't really need nothing else. The Marshall just didn't cut it next to my 5150 III because I needed more gain and it also has nice suttle channel switching as opposed to any other Amp switch box from any amp I have ever delt with on that note. Even when I was at GC I tried the Marshall 2000 out. Very nice head. This amp had more gain but it still lacked the gain tone and actually didn't have as much gain but it was getting pretty close. Much more than this Vintage / Modern I can say.
I originally got this Marshall to blend a cleaner tone with my Fender 5150 III. But I felt like something was just missing. And then I learned that my fender 5150 III can also do that too. So I took it back to trade it in for the Fender 5150 III.
But if this Marshall is enough gain and tone for you... it is a beautifully built amp and made very well.
The features are some simple tone adjustments. This amp lacks gain unless your running something separate in the front or the loop for gain. If you want more gain this is what you will need to do. It has a beautiful clean tone though. Marshall suggests that you set your tone controls (Bass Mid Treb), all to 1200 straight up. Then adjust your DETAIL and BODY knobs for a sound you like. Then after you do this is when Marshall suggests fine tuning your Bass Mid and Treb adjustments. It has a Reverb that in my opinion is out dated. It works but I really like my Lexicon reverb better. But for the sake of the amp it is pretty nice. The foot control box is alright. it works and is loud. I didn't even use it. I didn't really like it. Mainly because it didn't blend in a suttle way. It will change so much when you step on it no matter how you try to adjust your volumes. The amp is equiped with KT-66 tubes. Like the old vintage Plexi heads. And the Bias Voltage will also need to be adjusted when replacing power output tubes. I don't feel like doing this. I have done it before with my older Marshall JCM 800's and even earlier Models from the 70's when thats the only way it could be done. Not user friendly.
It's quality is fantastic. I notice little things like the tube sockets have drilled and threaded screws with nuts for the tube sockets in the event you need to replace a tube socket. In my Fender 5150 III and in most of the newer modern heads the tube sockets are rivited in. To replace one of these you would have to carefully drill it out and replace it with one and then use little screws and nuts to screw it back in place. I just notice that Marshall does build a beautiful head. There is a quality. For the name Marshall and the way they do manufacture an amp I give them a 10.
I give it's Value a 5. But this is based on my needs. I used to run two Fender 5150 III's. On two 4X12 EVH Cabs with G12T Old Low wattage celestion speakers. Best set up I ever had. I sold one of my heads. Big mistake as I learned after buying this Marshall Vintage / Modern Head to replace one. The marshall has a great clean sound. But the Fender on Channel 1 (Green Ch), has even a better clean sound and even more gain on just channel 1 if I want it that way. So I had to be honest with myself and take my Marshall back to GC and get credit and purchase another 5150 III to get back where I started. So for me I give it a 5. For me, the amp of my choice will do anything and then more than what this amp will do. And changing tubes is just a matter of pulling the old ones out and putting new ones in unless there is something else wrong.
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
If you're looking for an amp with all the bells and whistles, this isn't it. If you're looking for an amp that will capture the great overdrive, deep and rich tone from the late 60's to early 80's, look no more - this is definitely it! Sure, you'll have to spend a little time figuring out how to get different tones using the volume knob on your guitar and the amp, dialing in contour, body settings, etc. And yes, you can even get clean tones. Need it to break up just a little bit? Absolutely. If you want to sound like Hendrix, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Poison and so on, here you go. This is one amp I will never sell.
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
As the title says. I love this amp.
This has been the best of all my Marshall from the last 40 yrs. I play it with my Ibanez vintage TS808 in front and can play anything.
Great amp
I've had a few bum Marshall heads in my day, but this has been reliable for the past year.
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
I gave the title of my review a phrase from the kennel club show because im doing all dog themed reviews this week. First let me state the obvious. This is a Marshall Amp. I felt that might be a good place to start because some other reviewers seemd to think they were getting a Randall, or a Fender. And come on other reviewer,.. "Its Marshall so you know your getting quality, but it lacks features and its overpriced Junk"..What am I supposed to do with that? Im really glad im old enough to know how to use a Marshall, and what to use it for, cause they really are the best at what they do. What they do is loud, overdriven British "brown" sound.They do it witout breaking down for a loooooooong time and this Marshall does it better than any of the new Marshalls (new being anything since 1990), better than anything since the 2203. I think good tube amps specialize. Thats why they are irreplaceable. I own a great sounding VOX AC15, a Great sounding 20 watt Fender Blackface and this is my current Great sounding Marshall. Its true that another Well known amp maker has a modular preamp system, and that for the price of this 1 ("high quality") Marshall amp, you could buy 3.5 semi disposable preamp modules, but i would rather just save for another really good amp.
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
this is a great amp and i have but one thing to add to the other positive review: this things sounds fantastic when paired with a tube screamer pedal. if you are an old school player and you understand the subtleties of tone this is a great amp for getting that "feeling" thing going via your volume knob, fingers and select pedals. big muff pie sounds real bad ass through this baby too.
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
It is an o.k. amp but.... The randall rmc100c1 is the other amp my guitarist has. Just buy 1 of the randalls and get modules for it.... Its just better... My guitarist made a stupid decision buying this and he could have every randall module there is instead of this. Now for quality this is a marshall.... Come on its gonna be great quality but.. its lacking features and it is way overpriced i think...
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
Marshall junk...I have the 100 watt version. I bought it 3 years ago, and I have replace the tubes twice, and the transformer just went bad. Buy an Engl for dirty, and keep your Fender Twin for clean. Overpriced garbage. My tech said the transformer came from the factory that way, but it's out of warranty.
Comments about Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head:
This amp reminds me of a vox head I have.....It took a wee while to dial it in but once you spend some time and play around with it you'll get it. Once you do you'll be a very proud owner.Its not as loud as some 100watt marshall heads out there,but this is a good thing.I use it with the master volume at full tilt where as some marshalls are already to loud at 2! I use the 1960tv cab with mine,25 watt greenbacks as well. Great amp!

Haunted: A Novelby Chuck Palahniuk
Staff Pick
You've gotta love the reviews piling up for Haunted: "provokes a lot more nausea and eye rolls than deep thoughts" (Booklist); "all but dares the reader to be seasick" (New York Times); "a catalog of atrocities" (Library Journal); and my personal favorite, "Stomach-churning horror that takes a bit too much joy in its diabolic machinations" (Kirkus), which I think should be the front-cover blurb of the paperback version. One easily imagines Palahniuk cackling with delight
"Nothing mere about it: Haunted is crap of a high order, flung fresh against the wall and obsessively smeared by a deeply troubled fellow. As his cardboard characters' internment gets more grim — no heat, no food, no exit — Chuckles performs his standard striptease: grotesque sex, murder, self-mutilation, and cannibalism." Scott Raab, Esquire (read the entire Esquire review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Haunted is a novel made up of stories: twenty-three of them, to be precise. Twenty-three of the most horrifying, hilarious, mind-blowing, stomach-churning tales you'll ever encounter — sometimes all at once. They are told by people who have answered an ad headlined "Writers' Retreat: Abandon Your Life for Three Months," and who are led to believe that here they will leave behind all the distractions of "real life" that are keeping them from creating the masterpiece that is in them. But "here" turns out to be a cavernous and ornate old theater where they are utterly isolated from the outside world — and where heat and power and, most important, food are in increasingly short supply. And the more desperate the circumstances become, the more extreme the stories they tell — and the more devious their machinations become to make themselves the hero of the inevitable play/movie/nonfiction blockbuster that will surely be made from their plight.
Haunted is on one level a satire of reality television — The Real World meets Alive. It draws from a great literary tradition — The Canterbury Tales, The Decameron, the English storytellers in the Villa Diodati who produced, among other works, Frankenstein — to tell an utterly contemporary tale of people desperate that their story be told at any cost. Appallingly entertaining, Haunted is Chuck Palahniuk at his finest — which means his most extreme and his most provocative.
"What elevates Palahniuk's best novels (e.g., Fight Club) above their shocking premises is his ability to find humanity in deeply grotesque characters. But such generosity of spirit is not evident in his latest, which charts the trials of a group of aspiring writers brought together for a three-month writer's retreat in an abandoned theater. The novel intersperses the writers' poems and short stories with tales of the indignities they heap upon themselves after deciding to turn their lives into a 'true-life horror story with a happy ending.' They lock themselves in the theater, reasoning that once they're found, they'll all become rich and famous. They raise the stakes of their story by first depriving themselves of phones, and then of food and electricity; eventually they cut off their own fingers, toes and unmentionables before they start dying off and eating each other. Palahniuk tells his story with such blithe disregard for these characters that it's hard not to wish he had dispensed with the novel altogether and published, instead, the 23 short stories that pop up throughout the book. For instance, 'Obsolete,' about a young girl about to commit state-mandated suicide, and 'Slumming,' about rich couples who pretend to be homeless, play so deftly with expectations and have an emotional core so surprising that they consistently, powerfully transcend their macabre premises to showcase the heart beating beneath the horrors. Agent, Edward Hibbert at Donadio & Olson. (May)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[W]hile a number of the stories here are ingenious, in a devilish sort of way, the constant barrage of wicked sadism soon palls. Stomach-churning horror that takes a bit too much joy in its diabolic machinations." Kirkus Reviews
"None of Chuck Palahniuk's books are for the faint of heart. But Haunted may be his most outrageous yet....Palahniuk's stories in Haunted all explore...the seemingly unappeasable human hunger for narrative and what it teaches us about the human heart." St. Petersburg Times
"[An] over-the-top gore fest....
"Mr. Palahniuk all but dares the reader to be seasick....Like Neil LaBute and Todd Solondz, he can turn the revenge of the nerds into a bold feat of liberation. Or he can throw in one dead dog too many, which is what happens here." Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"The short stories would work if taken singly and at intervals, but strung together they become a catalog of atrocities. Palahniuk is a clever and inventive writer, but this book is recommended only for...readers with strong stomachs and morbid dispositions." Library Journal
"To produce a tract on the cultural depravity that's devouring culture, Palahniuk would have been better off writing a snappy essay; as for this work of fiction, even the most ardent of his fans may have trouble mucking through this world of ingrates." San Francisco Chronicle
"Palahniuk's latest is not the best of his work, but it is not the worst, either. Devoted fans of his creepy hyper-reality fiction will surely find something in it to recommend this work..." BookReporter.com
"Frequently entertaining [and] often appalling....There are paragraphs here — entire pages, in fact — that are as disgusting as anything I've ever read. Truly vivid and harrowing (and often quite funny)." Minneapolis Star Tribune
"[A]ll the characters share the distinctively choppy writing style of Chuck Palahniuk, as well as his grim world view and fetishistic attraction to suffering....I've recommended this book to a few people, but they are all a little bent." Seattle Times
"All of the stories are written in pretty much the same style and tone, and while the writing occasionally has a certain bug-zapping crispness to it, it's not nearly as amusing as the author thinks....Haunted has plenty of guts, but little glory." Chicago Sun-Times
Made up of 23 of the most horrifying, hilarious, mind-blowing, stomach-churning tales readers will ever encounter, Haunted is Palahniuk at his finest — which means his most extreme and his most provocative.
About the Author
Chuck Palahniuk's six novels are the bestselling Diary, Lullaby, and Fight Club (which was made into a film by director David Fincher), Survivor, Invisible Monsters, and Choke. He is also the author of the nonfiction profile of Portland, Fugitives and Refugees, published as part of the Crown Journeys series, and the nonfiction collection Stranger Than Fiction.

A conservative religious group has filed suit against the state of New York for its new legislation legalizing homosexual "marriage," which Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law on June 24.
The group New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms says the law, known as the Marriage Equality Act, was passed illegally because the negotiations leading up to Cuomo's effort to overturn the definition of marriage trespassed several open meetings laws.
After the law was passed, at least two town clerks quit their jobs rather than sign same-sex marriage licenses.
NYCF was founded in 1982 and like other state-level Christian groups, lobbies for traditional morality. Its website says that the organization is a Christian ministry that "exists to influence legislation and legislators for the Lord Jesus Christ."

|Drug Charges Filed After Traffic Stop
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 14 February 2013 06:52
Marcus Wheeler Hughes, 31, of Plumtree was arrested last Friday as citizens reported that he was acting suspiciously on the Newland campus of Mayland Community College. Arriving on the scene, Deputy Jack McCloud observed a vehicle matching the description given leaving the parking
lot and followed it into the Newland Town limits. Making the vehicle stop, deputy McCloud called for back-up from a K-9 unit, and after the arrival of the additional deputy and K-9, Hughes allegedly informed deputies of a meth pipe and drugs in his pick-up truck. After reportedly locating the pipe and finding a white substance, a test showed the substance positive for methamphetamines, and Hughes was taken into custody. He's being held at the Avery County Detention Facility under a secured bond pending an appearance in court later this month.

Parenting is one of the most rewarding and fun things we can do, but it is also one of the most challenging. The Bible speaks specifically of God's intended design for how parents can invest in the spiritual health of their children.
At Grace, our desire is to create a culture in which parents embrace their role as the primary faith influencers in the lives of their kids, while being resourced and supported by the local church. Grace@Home is a 20+ year discipleship model that we have developed in an attempt to support parents in raising children who are lifetime followers of Christ. Check out our Grace@Home Building Blocks Model!
We not only want to develop kids that are well-balanced physically, but we also want to develop kids that have a growing relationship with Christ. In order to help us accomplish this, the program examines what we can do as parents in training our children during seven different physical ages, as well as four different spiritual stages.
Our goal is to integrate the principles of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 in all we do at Grace. We want to assist parents in infusing the truth of these verses in every area of their family life at home. It is our desire to see parents become intentional in training their children to love God with all their heart, mind and soul. Our OWNit365.com LET'S TALK resources are designed to help parents with the important job of engaging in spiritual conversations as they talk about God when they sit in their house, walk by the way, when they lie down and when they rise up.

HEUVELTON Jesse C. Coburn has been brought on board as grades seven through 12 principal at Heuvelton Central School, filling the position that has been vacant since Michael W. Warden took over as principal at Salmon River Central School, Fort Covington.
Mr. Coburn has served as principal at the J.W. Leary Junior High School, Massena, for the past five years. Prior to that, he was the assistant high school principal at Massena Central School.
His past experience is in Massena, but Mr. Coburn is not a newcomer to Heuvelton.
From 2004 to 2007, Mr. Coburn taught high school earth science and a forensic science elective at Heuvelton.
According to Superintendent Susan E. Todd, it was Mr. Coburns background in both administration and teaching that made him stand out.
The district interviewed five candidates for the position beginning in early October.
Mr. Coburn received the unanimous support from the districts board of education.
He was appointed at Mondays board of education meeting.
Beginning in September, after Mr. Warden took the position at Salmon River Central School, Ogdensburg resident Randy A. Johnson began filling in as principal at Heuvelton at a per diem rate of $425.
Mr. Johnson retired earlier this year after serving as the Colton-Pierrepont Central School principal for 11 years.
Heuvelton Central School will keep Mr. Johnson on for several more weeks, however, to fill in for pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade Principal Cindy Belleau, who is leaving the district at the beginning of December to become St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services coordinator of district initiatives and curriculum.
The district is currently searching for a permanent replacement.
The district is holding an event for parents to meet the new principals from 5:45 to 6:45 p.m. Dec. 11.
The Heuvelton Parent Teacher Association will serve refreshments.
The Junior and Senior High School Winter Concert will take place in the auditorium afterward.

Prenatal screening of pregnant women for hepatitis B virus (HBV), followed by immune prophylaxis for infants using injected hepatitis B antibodies and the first dose of the HBV vaccine given soon after delivery, resulted in a low rate of vertical HBV transmission -- less than 1 per 100 births -- in a real-world study described in the May 27 advance edition of Annals of Internal Medicine.

Infants born to mothers with HIV appear to be more susceptible to certain bacterial infections even if they are not HIV-infected themselves, according to research from South Africa published in the February 9, 2011 Journal of the American Medical Association. HIV-exposed children get fewer antibodies from their mothers through the placenta during gestation, but they show robust responses to vaccination, indicating that their own immune function is not impaired.

Dear starfish,
No, but Micro$oft need Linux.
FYI, http://www.computerworld.com/develop...,82210,00.html
Best Regards.
I thought I'd ask the members to the forum this question. Does Linux need Microsoft?
I read Linux news from time to time and see the steady adoption of Linux in the world, from simple Firefox to entire governments moving away from Microsoft. It is clearly easy for people to reject all things Microsoft and use Linux. Many people do.
But should we? I sometimes wonder whether it is a good thing to completely replace a monopoly operating system with another, even if the replacement is open source.
Could Linux become complacent like Microsoft? Could it become bloated like Windows as Windows starts to fade? Could periodically rebooting Linux or reinstalling Linux eventually become common place?
I don't think Microsoft will go away. It won't die, it's a smart company, though sometimes not very ethical. When starting from scratch, Linux is clearly cheaper than Windows. When converting from Windows to Linux, versus upgrading a Windows version, it becomes almost a tie when training and learning curve inefficiencies are considered.
I think the Linux challenge will be not to become over confident, not to add too many rarely used features, and most importantly not to feel that people will use Linux just because it's not Microsoft.
I think Linux needs Microsoft for these reasons. What do you think?
Dear starfish,
No, but Micro$oft need Linux.
FYI, http://www.computerworld.com/develop...,82210,00.html
Best Regards.
Färrükh Ähmëd
I still feel Linux needs Microsoft.
If Microsoft fails to be a strong competitor to Linux, then the big boys Like IBM, Novell etc, won't feel such a strong need to co-operate to create a better Linux.
They will start to create their own versions, just like with UNIX, and say "bye" to Torvalds and the Open Source Development Lab (OSDL). Only the customer / consumer base will be able to save Linux by insisting on the common standard.
There was an attempt to create a unified UNIX some time ago and it failed when they couldn't agree on the right path to follow. The problem is that they all have their own agendas and they may not like the idea of their shareholder's profits being determined my an external standards group.
If Microsoft continues to be strong, then it will help to focus their minds a lot more on a common enemy, make a better product, and reduce the risk of fragmentation we have seen in the past.
Linux's survival depends on a strong, not tyrannical, Microsoft.
i think that Microsoft Windows will often allow users to discover Linux, however, with linux, it is cheaper, and open source, but... it is also slower, and more conventional users prefer speed to open source. therefore the Microsoft Windows is eternal, because of the majority of users that has never heard of linux.

Historical and Revision Notes
legislative statements
Section 1302 of the House amendment adopts a provision contained in the Senate amendment instead of the position taken in the House bill. Sections 1302 (d) and (e) are modeled on the standing trustee system contained in the House bill with the court assuming supervisory functions in districts not under the pilot program.
senate report no. 95–989
The principal administrator in a chapter 13 case is the chapter 13 trustee. Experience under chapter XIII of the Bankruptcy Act [chapter 13 of former title 11] has shown that the more efficient and effective wage earner programs have been conducted by standing chapter XIII trustees who exercise a broad range of responsibilities in both the design and the effectuation of debtor plans.
Subsection (a) provides administrative flexibility by permitting the bankruptcy judge to appoint an individual from the panel of trustees established pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 604 (f) and qualified under section 322 of title 11, either to serve as a standing trustee in all chapter 13 cases filed in the district or a portion thereof, or to serve in a single case.
Subsection (b)(1) makes it clear that the chapter 13 trustee is no mere disbursing agent of the monies paid to him by the debtor under the plan [section 1322 (a)(1)], by imposing upon him certain relevant duties of a liquidation trustee prescribed by section 704 of this title.
Subsection (b)(2) requires the chapter 13 trustee to appear before and be heard by the bankruptcy court whenever the value of property secured by a lien or the confirmation or modification of a plan after confirmation as provided by sections 1323–1325 is considered by the court.
Subsection (b)(3) requires the chapter 13 trustee to advise and counsel the debtor while under chapter 13, except on matters more appropriately left to the attorney for the debtor. The chapter 13 trustee must also assist the debtor in performance under the plan by attempting to tailor the requirements of the plan to the changing needs and circumstances of the debtor during the extension period.
Subsection (c) imposes on the trustee in a chapter 13 case filed by a debtor engaged in business the investigative and reporting duties normally required of a chapter 11 debtor or trustee as prescribed by section 1106 (a)(3) and (4).
house report no. 95–595
Subsection (d) gives the trustee an additional duty if the debtor is engaged in business, as defined in section 1304. The trustee must perform the duties specified in sections 1106 (a)(3) and 1106 (a)(4), relating to investigation of the debtor.

Members of the Utah Wildlife Board want hunters to see more buck deer during Utah's general hunts. That goal has led the Division of Wildlife Resources to put on hold big game hunting ideas it has shared with hunters over the past several months.
Instead, the DWR will present some new ideas. The goal of these ideas is to increase the number of bucks per 100 does on Utah's general-season units. To increase the number of bucks per 100 does, fewer people would be allowed to hunt in some areas of the state.
The discussion that led to the changes happened at the board's Sept. 22 executive work meeting. You can read the minutes of the meeting at www.wildlife.utah.gov/dwr/board-minutes.html. The minutes should be available by Oct. 7.
The DWR is still working out the details of the new idea, but the idea would likely involve the Wildlife Board amending Utah's statewide deer management plan. Those amendments would likely raise the average number of bucks per 100 does that DWR biologists must manage for.
Instead of an average of 15 bucks per 100 does, biologists would likely have to manage general-season areas so an average of 18 bucks per 100 does was found after the fall hunting seasons were over.
Two ideas to reach that goal have emerged so far.
Under a proposal the DWR is formulating, general deer hunting would likely continue in the five deer hunting regions Utah currently has. If the number of bucks per 100 does fell below preset levels on units or subunits within the regions, however, hunting on those specific units would be allowed only on a limited basis.
A second idea that's been proposed would likely result in the regions being divided into smaller units. All hunters-archery, muzzleloader and rifle-would be allowed to hunt on only one of up to 29 smaller units in the state.
Both ideas have one thing in common-fewer hunters would be allowed to hunt in some areas of the state.
"All of the details should be worked out by the end of October," says Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the DWR.
Once the proposals have been finalized, residents can read the proposals at www.wildlife.utah.gov. After reading the proposals residents can provide their comments at Regional Advisory Council meetings in November.
They can also provide your comments directly to RAC members via e-mail.
Members of the Wildlife Board will decide which option to approve when they meet Dec. 2 in Salt Lake City.

Hi there,
I am very new to PHP, but I want to use it for making simpler my pages.
My problem is the following:
I have a header frame of which's the contents I want to change each time the user clicks another link. So I planned that it will call the header.php, in which according to the URL clicked, will provide the respective content. I am now stuck at how I can get the URL of the link that the user will have just clicked. That is, I want to get the URL of the new link that the user navigates, and thus produce the needed header.
Although I cannot be sure, I have a feeling that the URL is an information that can be shared just as the HTTP_USER_AGENT variable.
Thanks beforehand for your help,

IMAX to Build Up to 120 New Theaters in China
By Wall Street Journal: Xiaoqing Pi on July 24, 2013
Deal With Dalian Wanda Follows Pact With South Korean Partner
BEIJING—IMAX Corp. IMX.T -0.15%is joining with China's largest cinema chain to build as many as 120 new theaters in the country, dwarfing a deal that the company announced with a Korean partner last week.
The Chinese deal is IMAX's latest to target Asian consumers' increasing demand for watching Hollywood blockbusters on bigger, more immersive screens.
Under the agreement, IMAX will add between 40 and 120 theaters. At most, it would bring to 381 the number of IMAX theaters open or planned in China, with Wanda Cinema Line Corp. running up to 210 of them.
Wanda will build 40 new theaters by 2017 and the rest by 2020, said Wanda General Manager Jerry Ye.
There were 126 IMAX theaters in operation in China at the end of June. Greater China accounted for 15% of IMAX's first-half revenue.
The Canada-based company said last week that it would add 30 IMAX screens in China and five in South Korea with Korean partner CJ CGV Co. 079160.SE +0.20%
If Wanda builds all 120 theaters, IMAX would generate as much revenue from China as the U.S., said IMAX Chief Executive Richard Gelfond.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Now that the election fanfare is dying down, the cleanup begins; but what to do with the political signs all over the place?
Town clerks say they are still considered the private property of the candidate or the campaign, so unless you specifically put the sign there, it's illegal to remove it or deface it, even after the election.
Campaigns have one week after the election to take those signs down. If the signs haven't been removed, towns and cities will often start cleaning up the roads and throwing the signs out.
Some people were out Wednesday cleaning up in preparation of the high winds Wednesday night's storm could bring.
While campaigns have just one week to clean up, people with signs on their private property can leave them there as long as they'd like.

Friday, March 12, 2010It was the classic case of better late than never as the Lipscomb Bisons scored five runs in the eighth and three runs in the ninth to beat Illinois Friday in the first round of the Caravell Resort Classic hosted by Coastal Carolina.
It was the second win in a row for the Bisons who were out-hit 10-9 at Watson Stadium in Conway, S.C.
"We talked before the game that everybody in college baseball is good," Lipscomb coach Jeff Forehand said. "I asked how many of our players had heard of Canisius before we played them. Several of our players had not heard of them, but they came in and beat us.
"You have to prepare to play every team. Everyone has heard about Illinois. Getting a win against a big name team does help our confidence. Hopefully, we can build on it."
Senior right-hander Josh Smith, 2-1, pitched 8.1 innings for the Bisons to pick up the win, his second in three decisions this season. Smith gave up nine hits and six runs, five of them earned. He walked three and struck out three.
"Josh gave up two runs early and his pitch count was down," Forehand said. "He really didn't have a finishing strikeout pitch, but he did a masterful job. They were hitting balls to us.
"I don't think he got tired. I only took him out because I wanted to stop Illinois' momentum in the ninth."
Junior right-hander Chad Fromm closed out the game pitching the final two-thirds. He allowed one hit. He earned his second save of the season.
"We are going to go to him at the end of games," Forehand said. "He has one win and two saves. We will keep going to him when the time calls for it."
Illinois led for most of the game scoring two runs in the third and one run in the sixth. Forced to play catch-up after the Bisons scored five in the eighth, Illinois added one run in the eighth and two in the ninth.
"Their pitcher (Will Strack) kept us off balance for the majority of the game," Forehand said. "Josh was pitching great too. They changed pitchers and we are able to put some runs across in the eighth.
"Ricky Coleman came in and hit a single up the middle to score two runs. We also scored on two passed balls and two throwing errors mixed in. That was a big hit by Ricky and then they made some mistakes to let us in the door."
Tyler Wilson and Zach Messer each had two hits for the Bisons. Cory Hale's double in the ninth inning was the only extra base hit for the Bisons. He drove in two runs. Hale also stole home for the third run.
Hale and Tyler Wilson each had two stolen bases.
The Bisons, 5-8, will play Michigan Saturday at 11 followed by Ball State at 4. Michigan beat Ball State 12-8 Friday. Michigan is 5-7. Ball State falls to 4-10.
Michigan plans to use either right-hander Tyler Burgoon (2-1, 7.71 earned run average) or Bobby Brosnahan (0-1, 6.23). The Bisons will go with either junior left-hander Alex Ross (1-0, 3.38 ERA) or sophomore right-hander Dannie Strable (0-0, 3.98). Sophomore right-hander Davey Hackett (1-1, 5.29) will get the start against Ball State.
"It is hard to get a lot of information on a team when you only play them one time," Forehand said. "It is going to be a long day of baseball. We are here to play strong teams that will get us ready for next weekend and the start of conference play."
