Paul Speaks to the People
1Paul said, "My brothers and fathers, listen to me! I will make my defense to you."
2When the Jews heard Paul speaking Aramaic, they became very quiet. Then Paul said,
3"I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in the country of Cilicia. I grew up in this city. I was a student of Gamaliel,#22:3 Gamaliel A very important teacher of the Pharisees, a Jewish religious group. See Acts 5:34. who carefully taught me everything about the law of our fathers. I was very serious about serving God, the same as all of you here today. 4I persecuted the people who followed the Way. Some of them were killed because of me. I arrested men and women and put them in jail.
5"The high priest and the whole council of older Jewish leaders can tell you that this is true. One time these leaders gave me some letters. The letters were to the Jewish brothers in the city of Damascus. I was going there to arrest the followers of Jesus and bring them back to Jerusalem for punishment.
Paul Tells About His Conversion
6"But something happened to me on my way to Damascus. It was about noon when I came close to Damascus. Suddenly a bright light from heaven shined all around me. 7I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?'
8"I asked, 'Who are you, Lord?' The voice said, 'I am Jesus from Nazareth, the one you are persecuting.' 9The men who were with me did not understand the voice, but they saw the light.
10"I said, 'What shall I do, Lord?' The Lord answered, 'Get up and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that I have planned for you to do.' 11I could not see, because the bright light had made me blind. So the men led me into Damascus.
12"In Damascus a man named Ananias#22:12 Ananias In Acts there are three men with this name. See Acts 5:1 and 23:2 for the other two. came to me. He was a man who was devoted to God and obeyed the Law of Moses. All the Jews who lived there respected him. 13He came to me and said, 'Saul, my brother, look up and see again!' Immediately I was able to see him.
14"Ananias told me, 'The God of our fathers chose you long ago to know his plan. He chose you to see the Righteous One and to hear words from him. 15You will be his witness to all people. You will tell them what you have seen and heard. 16Now, don't wait any longer. Get up, be baptized and wash away your sins, trusting in Jesus to save you.#22:16 trusting in Jesus to save you Literally, "calling on his name," meaning to show faith in Jesus by worshiping him or praying to him for help.'
17"Later, I came back to Jerusalem. I was praying in the Temple area, and I saw a vision. 18I saw Jesus, and he said to me, 'Hurry and leave Jerusalem now! The people here will not accept the truth you tell them about me.'
19"I said, 'But, Lord, the people know that I was the one who put the believers in jail and beat them. I went through all the synagogues to find and arrest the people who believe in you. 20The people also know that I was there when Stephen, your witness, was killed. I stood there and agreed that they should kill him. I even held the coats of the men who were killing him!'
21"But Jesus said to me, 'Leave now. I will send you far away to the non-Jewish people.'"
22The people stopped listening when Paul said this last thing. They all shouted, "Get rid of this man! He doesn't deserve to live." 23They kept on shouting, ripping off their clothes and throwing dust into the air.#22:23 ripping … air These actions were signs of very strong anger. 24Then the commander told the soldiers to take Paul into the army building and beat him. He wanted to make Paul tell why the people were shouting against him like this. 25So the soldiers were tying Paul, preparing to beat him. But he said to an army officer there, "Do you have the right to beat a Roman citizen#22:25 Roman citizen Roman law said that Roman citizens must not be beaten before their trial. Also at 23:27. who has not been proven guilty?"
26When the officer heard this, he went to the commander and told him about it. The officer said, "Do you know what you are doing? This man is a Roman citizen!"
27The commander came to Paul and said, "Tell me, are you really a Roman citizen?"
He answered, "Yes."
28The commander said, "I paid a lot of money to become a Roman citizen."
But Paul said, "I was born a citizen."
29The men who were preparing to question Paul moved away from him immediately. The commander was afraid because he had already put Paul in chains, and he was a Roman citizen.
Paul Speaks to the Jewish Leaders
30The next day the commander decided to learn why the Jews were accusing Paul. So he ordered the leading priests and the whole high council to meet together. He had Paul's chains taken off and had him brought in to face the council.

Picture: Jimmy Cliff 'The Late Show with David Letterman' at the Ed Sullivan Theater - Arrivals New York City, USA - 06.06.12
Ska legend Jimmy Cliff teams up with Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong to produce Cliff's new album 'Rebirth' to be released in mid-July 2012.
Their careers cross paths again since Cliff covered Rancid's 1995 song 'Ruby Soho' though he admits he didn't know it was a song of Tim's at the time. 'I had no idea it was one of Tim's songs, but I liked it and could identify with the sentiments,' said Cliff on his website. 'I never really had the opportunity to hear his music, but it was a great thing how we hit if off in the studio.'
Punk pioneer Armstrong, however, appears to have been a devoted Jimmy Cliff fan. 'Jimmy is one of my musical heroes and I've been responding to his music my entire life', he says. Before this record, he had already produced Cliff's 'Sacred Fire' EP last year.
The album is full of Cliff originals but with a couple of added covers including 'Ruby Soho' and The Clash's 'The Guns of Brixton'. 'World Upside Down' and 'One More' show in particular the world in which Cliff embarked on his musical career. 'I was inspired to re-visit my musical past and decided to go back to my roots on this record,' he said. ''Rebirth' is a new chapter in my life and signifies a rebirth in my career and all I have left to accomplish.'

An old flag, Malema and the k-wordComment on this story
Bloemfontein - The SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) will investigate allegations of racism at a Free State school, it said on Monday.
"There were complaints that some of those kids (in the school) have been called k****rs," said spokesman Isaac Mangena.
The old South African flag and a picture of expelled ANC Youth League president Julius Malema alongside that of a monkey were also reportedly put up on a classroom wall.
The SAHRC said it conducted an on-site inspection of the Wilgehof Primary School, in Bloemfontein, after a white pupil's parent laid a complaint.
"We have opened a file to investigate charges of racism and inequality," said Mangena.
He said the SAHRC would work with the basic education department on the matter.
"After opening the file, we will be speaking to the respondents; the school, the principal and the teachers." - Sapa

New to the forum and wondered whether any one could give me more information about this 1972 Merckx I was lucky enough to acquire recently?merck.jpg
New to the forum and wondered whether any one could give me more information about this 1972 Merckx I was lucky enough to acquire recently?merck.jpg
Hard to tell from the small pic. In '72 there were only Eddy Merckx branded bikes, he was not in the bike building business yet. Could be a Falcon, or Kessels, or ?? Post bigger pics for more info.
Not to sound snarky or anything, but it looks too nice to be a Falcon "Merckx", so probably a Kessels?
Bend, OR
This could very well be a bike we would love to see bigger and better shots of.
Why does the original poster think this bike is from 1972?
Many thanks for your thoughts so far - a few more pics here - will hopefully be able to post higher resolution in coming days.
I was told it was a 1972 but can't guarantee it.
Picture 5.jpg Picture 4.png Picture 1.jpg Picture 2.jpg Picture 3.jpg
I have an early 70's Kessels Eddy Merckx, I think this is a De Rosa.
I'm just guessing, but based on the chrome forkcrown and water-bottle bosses, and notwithstanding the top tube clips and early Columbus sticker...I'd guess it's not a Falcon and it's later than '72. Don't know if it's possible for it to be a DeRosa (or one built with his supervision) but could be a Kessels...definitely not a Miyata.
Edit, I'll have to go with vjp, if he had a Kessels to compare against, then it IS possible for it to be a DeRosa (or Ugo-supervised).
The Kessels bikes are all 531 if I am not mistaken.
Would anyone be able to hazard a guess at the value assuming it is a DeRosa build?
This bike has the DeRosa engraved on the seat stay cap, maybe a rare Van Der Est?
Whoa, let's back up a little: there's much controversy and murkiness about the relationship between Ugo DeRosa and Merckx frame production: it's generally accepted as fact that Ugo built the TEAM frames that Eddy and others on the Molteni team rode (though before he did Kessels built some and rumour says that Colnago made one) and that Ugo was the guy to set up the factory and train some builders for the Merckx factory in Belgium. But most people won't say that he ever built any production Merckx frames and certainly none that got this "Eddy" labeling and picture decals on Molteni orange: that's what the "licensed" frames get, until Merckx factory started making them. The factory went into full production in 1980...
There's also a ton of evidence, by the way, that De Rosa also built at least a few of the very early production Merckx frames - I've seen some that are pretty nearly indisputable.
I was contemplating that it "looks" like a De Rosa. If it is, then I would assume that it is a re-finished bike with EM livery. Ignoring the EM decals it does look like a De Rosa to me.
Do you have a pic of the bottom of the BB shell? Is there a cutout? Shape of cutout?
If it's a De Rosa, the seatstay caps and top of fork crown should tell the tale.
(With a caveat that 70's De Rosas vary enough feature-wise, that very little if anything is completely definitive.)
Last edited by Picchio Special; 03-22-11 at 12:04 PM.
Words I have read (including an account by Richard Sachs) is that the first frames built for the Milan Cycle trade show (show bikes) were almost certainly made in DeRosa's shop and since the lugs had the distinctive cutouts, the stay caps engraved "DeRosa" and the stays a distinctive shape: there was little doubt where they came from, though this "accepted fact" was never made public. I've also read that the early production frames that were made in Belgium had some of the same frame bits (lugs but not with heart cut-outs, stays and even DeRosa forkcrowns and stay caps) and this is the reason that people say that DeRosa was actually building frames there. Others say it only proves where Merckx was sourcing his frame building bits during early days.
In the BB shell there is a stamped number 9. There is no cutout.
Does this help identify it?
...apparently originally purchased in Milan in 1972.

1. Re: Gaming websites; Siteadvisor rating should be re-evaluatedHayton Jun 5, 2011 5:32 PM (in response to spc3rd)
Can you provide two or three examples of these sites? Better give them in the form "gamingsite dot com" just to be safe.
And if they're suspect in any way I hope that you have Windows, McAfee and your browser all up to date when you go there, and have security in your browser cranked up high. Again, just to be safe.

We all have heard, or may have uttered the phrase, "If Aliens came all this way, why don't they show themselves to us? En masse, so that is it undeniable proof that "They" are among us?"
But… Haven't 'They'?
On February 4, 1968, from approximately 7:20 to 7:25 P.M., about two hundred residents of Redlands, California, either saw or heard what was apparently the same huge, low-flying, disk-shaped object as it passed overhead. The object apparently came down just west of Columbia Street and north of Colton Avenue, then proceeded slowly in a northwestern direction for about a mile or less, at an altitude of about 300 feet. Coming to a stop, it hovered briefly, jerked forward, hovered again, then shot straight up with a burst of speed. (Total time of the sighting must have been less than five minutes).
On April 6, 1966 in Melbourne, Australia, more than 200 students and teachers witnessed a UFO that descended into a field now known as 'The Grange', which is now a nature preserve. Dozens of students and teachers watched in fascination. After several minutes, the UFO then ascended to take off to the north west towards Clayton South, a suburb of Victoria.

AURORA — A long-vacant shopping center on the northeast corner of East Mississippi Avenue and South Peoria Street is poised for revitalization following the opening of a Pacific Ocean Marketplace and several Asian businesses this summer.
Trong Lam, the owner of two other metro-Denver Pacific Ocean Marketplaces, proposed a nearly 100,000 square foot renovation of the 200,000 square foot shopping center in 2012. Half of the full property was dormant for about six years after an Albertsons closed in 2006, causing a domino effect of closures.
"We had this large space that had been sitting empty for a very long time that was impacting the appearance of the neighborhood and the shopping center across the street," said Aurora city planner Chad Argentar. "(Lam's) renovations are not just new paint or a new sign; it's a significant, exterior transformation."
Two vacant buildings — the 40,000 square foot Albertsons and a 54,000 square foot former Rite-Aid — were both acquired by Lam. Since construction on the $9 million project began in 2012, Lam has gutted everything but the framework and sliced the properties into nearly 20 individual store fronts that will be leased out.
"We basically just kept the building structure, but 95 percent of it is brand new," Lam said. "One hundred percent of the exterior, including a roof, is new, and the stores will all be new."
Lam said a third of the old Albertsons space and part of the connected Rite-Aid building will be the actual supermarket, which tops off at 57,000 square feet. The rest will be sublet to individual retailers for restaurants and shops.
Almost all of the small leases have been signed. Six restaurants including a Korean barbeque, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese restaurants are all slated to open after the supermarket in June. Other businesses include a coffee shop, gift store, clothing boutique and a salon.
"The population of Asians is high in Aurora," Lam said. "I think that the city needs another Asian supermarket to service the customer base over there."
Right now, Aurora is home to an H Mart at 2751 S. Parker Road and a Lotus Asian Market at 844 S Buckley Road.
Aurora is one of the most populous cities in the state for Asians. According to the 2010 Census, Asians make up nearly 5 percent of the total population with more than 16,000 residents who identify themselves as being of Asian decent.
Argentar said the opening reinforces Aurora as a diverse marketplace for ethnic restaurants and grocery stores.
The new Pacific Ocean Marketplace will be the largest of Lam's stores.He opened his first in Denver in 1989 and then a second in Broomfield in 2004. He anticipates that 50 to 60 jobs will be created in the Aurora supermarket alone, and an additional 100 jobs will fill in the breakout shops.
The city hopes Lam's initiative will rub off on some of the older businesses in the area.
"This is a major redevelopment for the shopping center," Argentar said. "Even if the rest of the shopping center doesn't do a lot of improvements, the fact that half the shopping center is going to have this massive face lift will hopefully encourage others to make some improvements."

Some Purchased Plants Are Toxic To Bees and ButterfliesTuesday, August 4, 2015
To the Editor:
Question: When would buying plants specifically to attract bees and butterflies to your yard result in a toxic environment to those very same bees and butterflies? Answer: It is when the seeds from which the plants were grown had been soaked in a neuro-toxin called neo-nicotinoid (neonics for short). This process makes the plants less susceptible to aphids, white flies, etc. but it also renders plants deadly to bees and other pollinators.

Good ones can change the way you look at your business; your career. Well, we just wrapped up a good one here. Our #LUVCAK campaign was a colossal undertaking; coordinating with six community partners and one darn good airline. It was hard work, took nearly six months to launch, but was undoubtedly one of the high points of my career.
I've been blessed in my nearly 18 years at CAK. We've been part of many smaller community partnerships that have driven strong results. I remember FlaminGo to AirTran.com, regional marketing campaigns, and social media collaborations. Nothing though was to the scale of this #LUVCAK campaign. We cast a wide and deep net to educate travelers about booking tickets at Southwest.com. Plus we enrolled thousands more in the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Program.
What was truly special though, was the enthusiasm and commitment conveyed by our partners. The Canton Regional Chamber, the Greater Akron Chamber, the Akron/Summit Convention and Visitor's Bureau, the Canton/Stark Convention and Visitor's Bureau, the Stark Development Board, Gatehouse Media, Southwest allies in Dallas, and our local Southwest station employees really supported and lead the campaign. Rick and I and our board were truly blown away.
As is sometimes not the case, everyone also pulled their own weight. All of our local partners contributed to the effort mostly with time and energy but also financially. Southwest offered backend support, sixty LUV vouchers and four roundtrip tickets from CAK! Boom.
Ultimately, our air carrier partners must be successful and profitable to fly here. We either support it or it will go away. With #LUVCAK, we had the right partners creating high level awareness and support at the right time. And although this collaboration could be considered a complete success, our job really is never done. And, thanks to our #LUVCAK partners, we can look confidently into our future with Southwest.
This community truly gets it. I have no doubt that we will all enjoy lower fares and unbelievable nonstop destinations because of their hard work. We are humbled and grateful to be serving an awesome community with such exceptional leadership. Thank you and #LUVCAK.

The Bhagavad-gita: Innovations and challenges in its translation
Many translators of the Bhagavad Gita resort to an informationally accurate prose translation that sometimes loses the poetic power and expression of the original verse. Others resort to constricted verse translation droping important and nuanced meanings of the text. Schweig is developing a way to translate Sanskrit philosophical verse that is both loyal to the meaning of the text while conveying something of the poetic power of the text in what he calls "dedicated free verse translation," without falling prey to the weakness of either approach. Schweig will present some of the discoveries on which he is writing for his forthcoming introduction and translation of the Bhagavad Gita for Harper Collins / Harper San Francisco.

The concept of nivrtti as translated in the lives of women in Hinduism: A survey (as part of 'Towards equality: writing/reading gender in texts of Hinduism' workshop)
Nivrtti denotes disengagement with worldly conventions. Of course it is used more in the context of samnysins/samnyasinis in connection with the pursuit of moksa (liberation). But this paper intends to release the word nivrtti from this narrow application and look at it in a wider context. The paper will examine the instances in the texts which have representations of women who go against the conventional, mother/warrior image. For instance is the brahmavadini/scholar woman like Gargi for instance, discarding by choice the role of a married woman and opting for a life of scholarly/spiritual search? Again is Savitri exerting her independence and opting to marry Satyavan in spite of her father's advice? Sulabha again could be someone who did not want to marry anyone because she was far superior to all those who wooed her. She makes the deliberate choice to become a bhiksuni. There are any number of these examples in Sanskrit texts which will form the basis of the talk.

Texts of Hindu sacred law and the construction of women's lives (as part of 'Towards equality: writing/reading gender in texts of Hinduism' workshop)
In India the treatises of law founded upon the sacred books of the Hindus had a far-reaching and defining influence on social life. As foundational documents of the Hindu way of life which codified social relations as well as personal belief as religious imperatives, these texts have exerted the deepest influence on the lives and conduct of women through history and their teachings have not yet entirely lost their force. In this lecture I shall consider some of the provisions in Hindu sacred law that moulded the lives of women, as derived from the writings of Manu and other ancient Hindu lawgivers, as well as some later writers on this basis we shall attempt to understand the intimate connection between the religious framework and the social, which has laid the basis of women's status, roles, rights and duties in Hindu society.

Value ethics in the early Upanishads: A hermeneutic exercise
The general view amongst scholars, and western scholars in particular, is that there is not sufficient attention paid to ethics in Hinduism. While no one holds that view seriously these days it does surface in discussions on Hinduism even today. This presentation tries to tackle that issue from the point of view of the early Upanishads. The main argument I develop is that moral theory and ethical behaviour is culture specific and there cannot be a uniform standard moral theory for all cultures. Moreover, it is axiomatic that no culture, particularly one that has survived thousands of years like that of the Hindus, could have survived without a moral code. Moral theory grows in consonance with the values that each society considers of ultimate importance. Keeping this as the background, this paper looks at a number of the early and middle Upanishads to build a behaviour pattern based on the twin concepts of dharma and moksa. Along the way the paper also tries to answer criticisms from scholars like Zaehner for whom a jivanmukta (one liberated while still in the body) is beyond all morality. The conclusion drawn is that there is a close connection between moral behaviour and the realization of what it means to be human.

The adequacy of language: Re-evaluating Shankara's understanding of the Veda
If ultimate reality is beyond language, how can language comprise the only valid method of acquiring knowledge of it? And if no language whatsoever can describe ultimate reality, what guarantee could there be that what Vedic language purports to disclose is anything other than a chimera?
Interconnecting parallel times: Notions of time in the Caitanya tradition of Hinduism
While the idea that ancient Indian cultures lack a sense of history has been questioned and even rejected in recent years, the notion of cyclical time is still regarded as the concept of time prevalent in Hinduism. The paper examines this view by dealing with Mircea Eliade' understanding of cyclicity and eternal return. It will be argued that time is not only in Western religions, but also in Hinduism conceived of as a complex, multi-layered phenomenon. This will be shown in a case-study of the Caitanya tradition.

The biography of temple complexes
The distribution of Buddhist and early temple sites shows that they overlap in the lower Krishna basin. But more noticeable is the clustering of early temple sites in the two interior districts of Mahboobnagar and Kurnool in Andhra where no Buddhist sites have been found, for example temple sites such as Keesaragutta and Alampur. The most ornate of the early temples located in the Eastern Deccan are those at the site of Alampur situated at the confluence of the rivers Tungabhadra and Krishna. The sites of Aihole, Badami and Patadakal formed the core area of temple construction in central Deccan. Inscriptions dating from 8th to 12th centuries from these temple sites, especially Aihole provide valuable information on the operations of the merchant guild Ayyavole and donations made by them to the temple complex. The importance of the sites of Aihole-Pattadakal-Badami in the development of multi-layered sacred space in central Deccan is undeniable and this presentation locates these temple complexes within their social domains.

The shrine in early Hinduism: The changing sacred landscape
This lecture counters the linear view of religious change in South Asia, which suggests that the Hindu temple came into its own after the decline of Buddhism in the fourth-fifth centuries AD. Instead the presentation shows that the temple form was part of a common architectural vocabulary widely used from the second century BC onwards not only for the Buddhist shrine, but also for the Hindu and Jain temples and several local and regional cults. The speaker thus makes a case for plurality of religious beliefs and practices in ancient South Asia as against the prevailing view that these local and regional cults were gradually subsumed under the mantle of Sanskritisation starting from the 4th-5th centuries onwards.
Colonial knowledge, archaeological reconstructions: The discovery of the Hindu temple in 19th-20th century India
The first lecture in the series traces the beginnings of the archaeology of religion in 19th-20th century India and highlights the trends that emerged in the study of the Hindu temple as a result of this intervention. Perhaps the most salient is the disjunction between religious praxis and theory and the study of architecture divorced from its ritual and philosophical moorings. A second is the change in the character of religious sites in the subcontinent from a culturally pluralistic personality to a monotheistic religious identity as a result of early archaeological legislation in the 19th century and more specifically from the early years of the 20th century onwards. This is best achieved by contrasting the 'discovery' of the site of Amaravati (1798-1867) with that of Nagarjunakonda (1920-1938) – both located along the river Krishna in the Guntur district of Andhra.

Narratives in stone: The Ramayana in early deccan
Recitation from sacred texts including the Epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata was a crucial part of ritual activities at temples further reinforced by representations of themes from literature in narrative panels on temple walls. The most sustained visual narrative based on the Valmiki Ramayana dates from 5th to 8th centuries and is to be found on the Visnu temple at Deogarh dated to 425 AD, the contemporary temple at Nachna, as well as in the Deccan on the Durga, Papanatha and Virupaksa temples at Aihole – Pattadakal and at the Kailasa temple at Ellora. The Ramayana travelled to Southeast Asia towards the end of the first millennium AD, but the selection of themes and episodes to be depicted on monuments varied from place to place. This presentation analyses the Ramayana panels with a view to understanding the religious and cultural milieu of these shrines.

Our favorite part of Peter Smith's Modern American restaurant, PS 7's, has long been its more casual bar/lounge. That's where you'll find one of the best burgers in town as well as a fine pair of half-smokes smothered in veal chili. Share a few rounds of sliders, whether made from tuna tartare--they've been a staple on the menu since day one--or pork-belly bánh mì.

The drinks can get expensive, but happy-hour food specials help, and on Mondays that killer burger is half price.

Talking about money isn't easy. And it's certainly not easy to ask for money.
But when you are negotiating a pay raise, it's important to remember you are not asking for a favor. You are providing something, and you should be compensated fairly. You provide a valuable service to your employer. Here are some tips to make sure you are getting paid what you are worth.
Don't Underplay Your Accomplishments
Some people have no trouble trumpeting their successes. But for others it can be hard to brag.
When you are negotiating a pay raise, this is not the time to be humble. It's important to communicate to your boss what you have accomplished since joining the company. Even outside of work events that make you more valuable -- networking events or conferences you attended, presentations or leadership roles you have in other organizations and classes or certifications you are pursuing. Sometimes getting a degree (or another one) can be a good way to demonstrate your increased value -- before you take on student loans, decide if it is financially a good time for you to go back to school. These all add to what you are worth to your current company, so make sure those setting your salary know about them.

Don't Exaggerate Your Accomplishments
Just be careful not to embellish what you've accomplished or your role in big successes.
It's a good idea to assume that your boss will check with others to make sure you have done what you say you have done. If you were one of a team who completed a project, talk about that project and then the specific role you played.
Be Upfront
If you are looking for a raise, ask for one.
Even if you don't get a yes, you can still obtain valuable information that can help you eventually reach your goal. It's a good idea to ask your boss what you can work on in the future to help out the company and get you to the salary you desire.
Try Again in the Future
Don't let one unsuccessful attempt to get a pay raise stop you from asking again in the future. Try setting a specific time with your boss when you can re-evaluate what you have contributed and discuss your compensation again. This doesn't mean you should continue to ask for a raise every week, but set a reasonable time (maybe six months or a year) for you to demonstrate your worth … and get rewarded for it.

Dr Brown is a very good doctor. However her office staff is a nightmare. They have made going to the doctors so unpleasant I have chosen to change physicians. They have no respect for the patient. New management is desperately needed.
Dr Brown is a great doctor. However, her front staff is curt and unhelpful.
I've gone to Dr. Brown for many years and she's the best doctor I've gone to. She's a very good listener and is empathetic. She's very thorough when you have a symptom. Sometimes I do have to wait longer than I'd like but the wait has gotten better over the recent years. I highly recommend her.
Sure, at times, I'm required to sit longer in Dr. Lora's waiting room than I think I should have to, but something good is always worth the wait. And I always receive a higher level of care from Doc Lora than I have ever experienced in any other physician's office, which is a good thing and definitely worth the wait! Doctor Brown demonstrates a level of empathy that is unavailable from other health care professionals. Doc Lora always raises my spirits regardless of how bad I feel. I think that's what's known as a having a great bedside manor. She spends as much time as necessary to serve her patients, and I never feel rushed during her examinations of me.
The goal for this doctor is to get the patients come in frequently whether they need to or not.
Dr Brown is the best doctor that I have had in years. She always has an answer for every illness that I has had.
Dr. Brown has been wonderful and the wait time may be longer that i like but she is worth it. Her bedside manners are great and she is really trying to get my health under control. I thank God for her.

1989 Toyota Camry • 300,100 miles
Which circuit breaker works the drivers shoulder belt? I tested motor, door switch, all fuses ect. Also does the wire and plug under the drivers seat that comes out of floor work the shoulder belt?
If only the driver side just quit one day and the other side works fine what is there to look for?

There is no circuit breaker for this. It is a control issue. Either the control or the air control module

Well, it's not as if National Lampoon's good name hasn't previously been besmirched on a movie or television screen. A cursory search of the Internet Movie Database turns up 20 titles staking claim to the satirical magazine's legacy, and with the exception of "Animal House" and, possibly, the first installment of "Vacation," most are not worth a second (or even a first) look.
Following in that dubious tradition is "National Lampoon's Gold Diggers," which by comparison makes the last theatrically released offering to bear the brand, "Van Wilder," seem like it was directed by Billy Wilder.
Will Friedle ("Boy Meets World") and Chris Owen ("American Pie") star as a pair of inept con men who concoct a scheme to swindle septuagenarian condom heiresses Renee Taylor and Louise Lasser out of their fortune. Unfortunately for the would-be crooks, the ladies are broke and have a scam of their own in mind involving marriage, insurance and a double-homicide.
What follows is a series of lame attempts at murder and comedy and a very long 82 minutes.
Written and directed by Gary Preisler, an industry executive, "Gold Diggers" is a one-gag movie and that one gag isn't funny. Taylor and Lasser are reduced to playing sex-starved Norma Desmonds, and while Friedle and Owen are certainly game, their plan is a waste of everyone's time, especially the audience's.

Understanding the Effects
of Computer Displays and Time
Pressure on the Performance
of Distributed Teams
Leonard Adelman, Cedric Yeo, and Sheryl L. Miller
Some studies (e.g., Urban et al., 1996) have shown that time pressure degrades team decision-making performance. In contrast, other studies have shown process changes but no effect on performance (e.g., Hollenbeck et al., 1997b). Using a longitudinal design, Adelman and colleagues (2003) found that teams adapted their processes in different ways, all of which were effective in maintaining high and constant performance until almost twice the initial time pressure level. Then different teams lost performance constancy as time pressure increased, depending on their process adaptations. The findings suggest that one should not necessarily expect to find a process–performance relationship with increasing time pressure; team processes change early and in different ways, but performance can be maintained under high time pressure levels depending on the effectiveness of the team's process adaptations. These findings are consistent with Entin and Serfaty's (1999) team adaptation model and, as discussed in Adelman, Henderson, and Miller (2001), Brunswik's (1952) concepts of vicarious functioning (process intersubstitutability) and performance constancy.
Also consistent with Brunswikian theory (Hammond & Stewart, 2001), one can argue that one's results depend on the task, and in the case of Adelman et al. (2003), the features of the human–computer interface. In a follow-up study, Miller and colleagues (2000) demonstrated this point, but only to a limited extent. They found that a "perceptual" interface designed to make it easier for team members to see what decisions they had made permitted teams to maintain the percentage of decisions they made as time pressure increased. However, contrary to prediction based on previous research (e.g., Balzer, Doherty, & O'Connor, 1989), a "cognitive" interface designed to provide feedback on team members' decision processes had no effect on decision accuracy. As time pressure increased, team decision accuracy declined regardless of the type of human-computer interface.
We were unable to explain this finding fully at the time of the study. We can now do so using a Brunswikian theory of team decision making and the lens model equation. The next section presents the relevant theoretical concepts; then we describe the experiment and new analyses. The final section discusses the strength and limitations of the research.
