The Awakening of Hope: Read an Excerpt
"We see then," Evagrius concludes, "that the monk's habit is a kind of compendious symbol of all that we have described." In a sense, it sums up his life. As the mark of monastic vocation, a habit points beyond itself to a way of life that finds its end in God.
We make promises because they mark us as people who are turning from the rebellion of original sin to life with God in the membership of a new creation. To say "I do" in a world marked by infidelity is to stand out as a living sign that faithfulness is possible. It is possible because we know a God who makes promises and keeps them. We know this because we know the story of this God's relationship with the people called Israel.
The tradition of vows in monastic community has always been tied to a Rule of Life. Monks and nuns do not promise poverty, chastity, and obedience in the abstract as ideals that they would like to live out in whatever circumstances they happen to find themselves. Monastic vows are always promises made to God and a community under a particular Rule. These promises have concrete meaning within a way of life that is shared by a people. Poverty doesn't mean holding money loosely or owning things without letting them own you. It means giving the money and possessions you have inherited and earned away, joining a group of others who have done the same, and trusting God to provide for you in that particular community for the rest of your life.
In the same way, the promises that Christians make in marriage only make sense within the way of life we learn by being part of a people called church. We know what it means to give our body to another only to the extent that we have learned what it means for a community to claim our bodies in baptism. This will be a journey filled with joy as husband and wife delight in one another's bodies and welcome children as a fruit of that delight.
But Christian marriage is about more than what feels natural and good. Because we have died with Christ, we know that giving our body to another will mean bearing with them through afflictions—"in sickness and in health," as the traditional vows have it. Because we are members of God's family by adoption, we know we may have children who do not look like us. Because we follow a Lord who was executed, we know that we won't be able to make everything work out alright for our families in this world.
We know these things, as the monastic witness reminds us, because we are the spiritual descendents of the people called Israel. Both God's promises and ours in return find their content in the particularities of a shared way of life. We cannot find our way with God alone. While intimacy with God is always deeply personal, it cannot be private. "Me and Jesus" will not work. We're in this together, or we're not in it at all.
Since September 11, 2001, we in the West have become painfully aware of the fact that Islamic extremists do not make a distinction between personal convictions and political imagination. But if we listen to the millions of Muslims who are not extremists but fellow children of Abraham with whom we have much in common, we will learn that they are equally confused by the separation of faith and politics in the West. "My personal religion," makes no sense to them. They know it is a contradiction of faith to say, "Let's live together and keep our faith to ourselves."
We can learn from our Muslim neighbors what Israel learned at Sinai: to trust God is to join a community of people who make promises. Our promises find their meaning in the patterns and habits of the way of life we share together. Because this Way has been revealed to us, it is as much a gift as the promise that first inspired our faith. But because it is what makes us a people, this Way is not optional. To trust our God is to pay attention and keep the commandments that make us a people set apart in this world.

A proposal to renovate the Custer-Nugent Amphitheater in Mill Race Park utilizes a multiple-use concept that would include a retractable canopy over audience seating, a larger stage and lighting enhancements, among other improvements.
The concept cleared the first of many hurdles Monday when a Cleveland architectural firm impressed a group of city officials considering the project.
But the city has yet to hire Westlake Reed Leskosky to renovate the amphitheater or to decide how to pay for it.
Mayor Kristen Brown, who is president of the redevelopment commission, said that, while the architect impressed commission members, she wants to gauge the Columbus City Council's interest in the project before moving forward with any contract negotiations with the architectural firm.
Matt Janiak, a principal with the Cleveland firm, presented conceptual designs to the Columbus Redevelopment Commission in an hourlong presentation, providing artist renderings, construction estimates ranging from $3 million to $4.3 million, and a potential schedule for the project, pending a start date.
Janiak presented cost estimates for three options:
$3 million for the minimum project requirements and performance equipment.
$3.9 million for a project with some enhancements, including a retractable canopy over audience seating in the mound, permanent event restrooms and concessions.
$4.3 million for the enhancements, additional lighting and electrical upgrades and paved access to the stage and loading area.
The renovation proposal calls for demolishing the current stage to construct a new, wider stage that would sit farther back, opening an additional 240 seats that could be reserved for VIPs. The conceptual designs also call for a canopy over the audience in the mound and side curtains on the stage, both of which could be retracted depending on weather and the needs of the performance.
Janiak also presented the firm's plans to design and construct a performers pavilion near the stage, where entertainers could have a space to prepare. The pavilion would include areas for dressing rooms, catering prep, production and a "green room." It also would have a path leading directly to the amphitheater stage.
The firm's conceptual design for the pavilion allows for multiple uses, including an orchestra performance, a musical act, a rock concert with multiple acts, an outdoor wedding reception or a graduation ceremony.
Overall, Janiak said, the design and materials are simple, a purposeful move that aligns the design with the existing architecture in the park and that makes maintenance to the structure easy for those who would oversee it.
Positive response
The design addresses extensive flooding that occurs in the park, he said. The pavilion would be above the 100-year flood line, he said, and the stage would be constructed to allow water to flow in and out without sloshing around and damaging the structure.
Commission members and residents, including members of the 10-member steering committee that interviewed and selected the Cleveland firm, expressed support for the concepts presented.
"I'm extremely impressed," Brown said. "The concepts were great. What is resonating with me is just the endless possibilities."
Steering committee member David Bowden, the music director and conductor for the Columbus Philharmonic Orchestra, said it is "enjoyable to consider the opportunities" and possibilities that the firm's designs offer.
Bowden said he is excited about the project largely because of Westlake Reed Leskosky and the nine-member interview team that the architectural firm sent to Columbus in June.
"They came here knowing who we are, knowing the legacy of great architects who have built here and wanting to be a part of it," Bowden said. "And before they were paid a dime, they did 50 times as much work as the other two candidates to get ready."
The firm is just as excited about the project as the committee members are, Janiak said.
Westlake Reed Leskosky hopes to be able to move forward with the project, he said, and help the city transform the amphitheater into a space that will entice well-known performers and benefit the community.
Redevelopment commission member Bob Abrams, who represents the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. on the board, said people likely will be skeptical about keeping the amphitheater in the flood plain. The firm's reasoning behind designing around the flood plain will have to be rock solid, he said.
Addressing the need
Something needs to be done to the amphitheater if the city wants to keep using it for events, said Chris Crawl, the technical director for the Columbus Area Arts Council and member of the steering committee.
The current structure and electrical systems, which are original to the 21-year-old building, won't last much longer, he said.
Renovations to the amphitheater have been on the city's radar for more than a year and they're much needed, said Jayne Farber, a steering committee member who also served as a consultant on the project until her July 1 retirement.
The venue was built in 1993 by architect Stanley Saitowitz. Since then, Farber said, there have been no major enhancements or any extensive maintenance to the structure.
The park is located in a designated flood area, and the amphitheater is directly in the floodway. During flooding, the amphitheater's dressing rooms and electrical panels can get damaged by mud and water.
The amphitheater is exposed to the elements and also is built in a way that cannot always adequately handle performers' stage equipment.
Farber said when the rock group REO Speedwagon performed last August, the concert stage had to be built away from the amphitheater.
And during big events, such as Rock the Park or the Our Hospice benefit concert, the crowd is positioned on the lawn instead of in the mound seating to accommodate more spectators because the amphitheater seating holds about 450. The bigger concerts have drawn audiences in excess of 7,000.
But the lawn seating puts more distance between the audience and the artist because the ground where the crowd assembles is lower on the lawn side.
Westlake Reed Leskosky addressed those problems and more when developing its conceptual designs, Janiak said.
The work to implement those designs likely would take about two years to complete, he said, including time for design, bidding and construction.
And depending on what the city wants and is willing to pay for, the cost could vary.
The architect now will present ideas for the redesign to the council next Tuesday at its meeting at 6 p.m. in city hall, said Heather Pope, the city's redevelopment director.
Council approval is crucial, the mayor said. That's because if the commission decided to fund the project with tax-increment financing district dollars, the council also would have to be in favor of spending the money, since it must approve any spending greater than $500,000.
Should the council react favorably to the project, she said, the city could then work up a contract with Westlake Reed Leskosky.
Ideally, that contract could then receive approval from the redevelopment commission at its Aug. 18 meeting, Pope said — at which point the firm could move beyond its conceptual designs and start working on blueprints.

K..A..L..U..I..: "kaLui's bamboo seafood Resto!" Top 5 Page for this destination Puerto Princesa Restaurant Tip by missmarianne
Puerto Princesa Restaurants: 115 reviews and 311 photos
SO BAmbooo-ey and woood--ey. The place is rather small for the number of people who might wanna dine in there. There's one thing that actually saddened me. you can't stay too long once you've splurged and got full-tank. Your nibblin moment is timed coz there are people waiting in line. You can go walk-in though, at around 6-7pm, but, they prefer that you make your reservation prior to the date so they won't get overcrowded. why do think..?
coz they serve the best (yumyumyum mouthwatering!) seafood dishes in towN..!
Favorite Dish: It was a budget meal for 4 people (we were just 3). They served us..uhm . I think 3 varieties of seafood dish (plus rice, soup and seaweed salad) and a coconut bowlful tropical salad. just for P300+. imagine?
Address: Rizal Avenue..?
Price Comparison: least expensive
Directions: just beside The Lotus Garden.
Price: less than US$10
Rating: 4
Theme: Seafood

I hope everyone is well.

Hello! I'm feeling better these days that's for sure! I'm thinking I may have even noticed that I don't feel like a TOTAL zombie most days anymore! It's nice! My next appointment (which i just made to tide me over until my actual next appointment) is Monday.
DH just told me yesterday that it's great to have "ME" back. I'm feeling a WHOLE lot better, tired, but nothing like I was a week ago. I'm going for my NT scan in two days - a little nervous/anxious about that. Can't wait to see the baby!
My EDD is June 19, I'm still feeling icky, but it seems to be not as bad this week. I'm getting more of a muscle ache then nausea right now.

dear all,
when you create a new event in iCal (OS 10.8.2), by default you create an event for the whole day.
is there a way to change that behaviour, even by entering a command in terminal.
by default, i'd like to create a new event that is not for the whole day.
thanks for reading me.
are there any terminal commands for iCal?

Comments about Armen Living Decca Oval Glass Top Coffee Table:
I was very excited to receive this table but it arrived smashed in to a million pieces. The FedEx driver just left it on my porch and it was clearly broken. Ths smashed glass was so heavy it took me almost an hour to shovel the pieces into separate bags (because the glass keep tearing through)and hauling them from my front porch around the house to the trash in the alley. Your customer service person was very nice when i called to report the broken glass but had i known how much work it would be to throw it away i should have asked for FedEx to do it. I'm still looking forward to getting my replacement table...hopefully in one piece. Barbara

Comments about Armen Living Decca Oval Glass Top Coffee Table:
I had really high hopes for this coffee table. The shipping was great, it arrived a day early with no visible damage from shipping. Once it was put together it looks great! just like in the pictures!
The cons are in the quality. It's held together by pressure and dowels with a few screws holding in the outter legs. Upon assembly, I immediately noticed that the two smaller inner pieces are cracked where the dowels are inserted. It's not an extreme crack, but noticable non-the-less. I don't think it'll affect stability as the pressure from the crossbeams help hold it together. Also, one of the bolts wouldn't recess all the way (not cross-treaded, just not drilled in completely). And the wood looks scratched. Otherswise, it looks great!

Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance, yet are experienced as occurring together in a meaningful manner. The concept of synchronicity was first described in this terminology by Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychologist, in the 1920s.[1]
Timelike Entanglement: is the connection, via quantum entanglement, through time. It is described in this article, and clearly states that it revolves around a pattern of equidistant time periods between events.
Taken together, these things form timelike synchronicity, which is the linking of two or more events which are casually related, though the relation is not apparent in anything more than their general theme, though the connection implicates the influence of an intelligent external force in the group of events.
These patterns are defined and explained in the following articles:
1984, Orwell and Huxley, along with the reason it's related.
Phillip K. Dick, along with the reason it's related.
Mind Control Assassinations
JFK and the Ensuing Cover up
Schizophrenia, John Nash, James Angleton, and James Tilly Matthews, and the reason.
In an attempt to prove that this pattern is highly statistically improbable, I have done a cursory search using what I believed to be an innocuous unrelated event, the election of several randomly selected President's of the United States. This attempt, using Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter yielded zero timelike synchronicities between the three President's. One, Lyndon Johnson, had a single midpoint correlation to his Presidency in his lifetime at 1950. Not coincidentally, Johnson has been implicated in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Ignoring the possibility that Johnson should be removed because of his relationship to JFK, and allowing it to stand, this exercise yields a statistical probability of of 1 in 9 for the existence of Timelike Synchronicity without a relationship. Using the most broad definition, and expanding this with just the list above, the (roughly estimated) statistical probability of these events all having a timelike synchronicity is 0.0017%. I will be attempting to lower this number, and make it more accurate, in the future.
It should be noted that the events noted above have been the focus of my investigation into the influence of this force on our modern history, and of those events nearly all of them include timelike synchronicities. I had previously written about all of these events prior to finding the pattern, and have found it in every single instance I have looked.
While my cursory attempt to prove the significance of the correlation is small, it does show that the phenomenon of timelike synchronicity is not the kind of pattern that can be found "anywhere;" but is rather a highly unlikely pattern which points to the influence of an outside force in many pivotal affairs of our modern times.

Not only do these capsules provide the complex of B Vitamins required for my use, but they also contain other ingredients that I would otherwise have to take another capsule for, such as 1000mg of Vitamin C. I love this product and could not live without it!

I like the effect of this product. the ratios are very good for the adrenal fatigue i'm suffering from. But, there's something about the capsule itself that i don't particulary care for, it's kind of robust, thick and tough. not really sure but all i know is that after a few days i didn't feel like taking them anymore and switched to solgar b-complex 100', adding vitamin c and additional pantothenic acid to the mix. now i'm happy

Re: Underwater mortgage & seeking advice.
Chbraswell wrote:
For modifications those my have adverse affects to your credit so i would definitely make sure you seek all other options because you try those. Especially if you can afford the loan or very credit orientated. Depending on your loan you qualify for the government refinance program called harp for fannie and freddie loans.
15 years ago I had very poor credit (college age w/ a $11k limit and no realy concept of credit). I have since repaired that, and the past three years I have kept credit usage to a minimum (no balance on my two credit cards, and then one purchase with no interest for 18 months, paid it off in half the time).
For the federal refinance program, my mortgage is not backed by Fannie or Freddie Mac. I have contacted my lender, as well as looked at Maryland state information. I was referred to the Maryland Hope Organization, which then referred me to a local housing organization, but I do not think I meet their required qualifications, in part because I am current on payments.

its acceptance proved too much for the electorate to accept, at least in its entirety. Elites from a variety of quarters, such as government, business, and the academy, recognized that the constitutional structure of the state as it had evolved in the nineteenth century would not enable the state to play an active and effective role in managing a social order characterized by a dynamism seldom witnessed in world history, let alone the history of the state or nation.
The first third of the twentieth century was a period in New York's constitutional development in which the values of efficiency and effective government replaced the nineteenth-century constitutional tradition which had emphasized democratization, decentralization, and the delimitation of governmental power. Executive reorganization, the short ballot, and an executive budget system, as well as a four-year term for the governor, were effective in shifting the balance from decentralization and democratic participation to a more centralized and efficient governing apparatus. The governor would be the fulcrum: popularly elected, providing energy and direction, and equipped with the tools for effective governance. It may be more accurate to say that there was a shift from a decentralized, locally oriented, legislatively based representation to a centralized, state-oriented, executive-based representation. That shift would be the central defining feature of New York's governmental system into the 1980s. The legislature would continue to provide a district-oriented focus, but its role in shaping the policies of the state would be radically altered, if not significantly diminished.

 I have agoraphobia, which can mean either I have a fear of large spaces or I have a fear of leaving the house. For me it is leaving the house, and so much of the past six years has been spent inside my fifth-floor apartment in Montclair, a suburb just outside of New York City. Though it has let up significantly over the years I am still pretty much a prisoner when winter comes. Sky-watching has always been a past-time of mine, especially now that I have the view that I do, and it helps ease the pain when I am too sick to go out. This is my life through my window.

darshap says
Hi Mike,
I'm stuck on a question from BPP Study text, where they have given us an extract of the SOCIE, where we have O/B and Closing balance for RE but using your method I cannot tie back the RE to the Comp. income statement or Profit figure from W3
Do you think you will be able to help?
Thanks in advance,
MikeLittle says
Is it possibly a dividend that has been accounted for but not shown in an obvious way?
darshap says
don't know, I'll give it a go again. Thanks
Edward says
In chapter 10 example 2
I dont understand why PUP is zero yet Lina sold to Sigimantas at goods worth 4000 at a mark up of 25%
Kindly explain?
Edward says
sorry got it. its because all goods have been sold.
staceyhowe says
In chapter 10 example 2 when you are working out group retained earnings why do you not add in proposed dividend receivable 60% x 5000?
Dana says
Sir, should we include NCI dividends ($2000) in statement of IC (not $3,920 but $1,920) as it is shown in statement of changes in equity?
MikeLittle says
No, dividends are not an expense of a company. A dividend is an appropriation of profits, not an expense
umairarshadkhan says
Instead of deducting 4000 from each revenue and COS..shouldn't 5000 have been deducted? Surely the sale was made at 5000 so if I deduct 4000..wouldn't that make my revenue overstated by 1000?
Please sir Mike need your help!
MikeLittle says
which chapter, which example?
umairarshadkhan says
chapter 10, example 2.
The line before the requirement, 'During the year Lina sold $4000 worth of goods at a mark up of 25% to Sig…'
tauraiversatile says
Oooops, I had also worked out pup. I have only one question though, Mike, is it allowed if we just ignore inter group sale since they make no difference to arrive at Op profit?
MikeLittle says
Sure it's allowed. However!!!!!! You will lose the marks available for cancellation of the intra-group trade! Why would you want to ignore it – it must be one of the easiest bits of all the consolidation adjustments!
perfecta1 says
OMG the easiest and simpliest way of explaining how to do the statement of changes in equity!
Thanks very much for tis video Sir!
kriselda says
I dont understand, in example 2 in the St. of changes in equity why does NCI reduces Retained Earning. Does it always happens like this?
Thanks in advance
MikeLittle says
Yes, the full profit for the year goes into Retained Earnings but, of course, the nci want their share of these profits so the transfer from Retained Earnings to nci will reduce Retained Earnings (if the year's results had shown a loss, the nci would have been charged with their share of that loss)
Hope that helps
nkmile64 says
Brilliant lecture!
I finally understood that the figures in this Statement of Changes in Equity are the same figures that will appear in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Thank you Sir Mike.
I would just like to ask whether it is possible that we will be asked to draw up a Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity in the context of Question 1. Has this been asked before?
MikeLittle says
No, Statement of Changes IS in your syllabus, but not for consolidations, so it will NOT appear in question 1 – but probably WILL be in question 2
biskarre says
Mike, whats the trick is? While W3 you have not counted dividends receivables from Sigmantas. Why do we need to count it in, for instance, in Chapter 9 exercises? (Ch. 9 Ex. 1) Thank you.
biskarre says
@biskarre, I got it 🙂
Miss A.. says
very good lecture

Excellent!!!I added a half cup more of both the ham and the cheese b/c we like more stuff than biscuit. It turned out great!! I should have made a double batch, they went fast!I wasn't sure if I should take it off of the heat when I added the flour and eggs, so I did and it worked just fine.Definately a make again recipe!! I made mine Tablespoon-drop size and it made about 38 of them. I made them to go with chili, but they would be good for breakfast too. Just make them bigger! Yummy!!
YUM! I tried these out tonight in preparation for Super Bowl. Very easy and very tasty. I'm sure they will be a hit! I'm anxious to experiment with different cheeses and filling. Excellent appy.
I needed a recipe to take to a party for before dinner snacks and chose this one. What a winner! Three people asked for (and received) the recipe.
I made them as directed using old cheddar and added in finely diced green onions. I used a rounded tablepoon and got 40 1 1/2 inch puffs and had a little mixture left over so made 4 twice that size so I coud taste them before taking them to the party. They would be awesome with soups, stews and chili. Tasty and easy they will be a regular here. Thanks so much for posting!
Very good! I made these in mini muffin pans and they turned out great. The group I was serving to is a very picky group, and they all liked these. Thanks for this great recipe.

Skala Sotiros Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 19 photos
Skala Sotiros is very small village on eastern shore of Thassos island. That's not typical must see place but if you need quiet and relaxing holiday then it's place for you! Skala Sotiros is a fishing port of village Sotiros that's some 5 km or so up on the mountain. Today, Skala is vivid place while Sotiros is almost deserted. We had great holiday there and used it as a starting point to explore Thassos and Kavala as well.
The houses of Skala Sotiras were build mostly along the main street and the coast. You will get a wonderful view from the during the sunset and with full moon at night. You will also be able to get a look at the village Sotiras, will say to the rest of Sotiras. There some not crowd taverns and bars. It is the perfect place for family or/relaxing holidays. There is also the possibility to learn or to hire wind-surfing. The people of Skala Sotiras are fishing and also in the tourism branch.

I searched the forum and came up with only 500 plus posts containing the word cyclocross. Hah! So, what is it? I have been looking at the bikes and it appears to me all they are, is basically a road bike with knobby tires! That's gotta be a harsh ride!
Someone explain! I would rather get a cyclocross than a road bike; they seem to be a bit more versatile.

Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the energy your body expends to maintain normal bodily functions such as heart beat, respiration, digestion, and maintenance of body temperature. Your BMR is influenced by a number of factors including age, body size, gender, diet, and environmental temperature.
Estimate your BMR (calories/day) with the calculator below. Enter your age, weight, and height, then click the submit button.
Age in years:Weight in pounds:Height in inches:
Calories/day for men Calories/day for women
Of course, your body burns additional calories throughout the day as you engage in different physical activities. The burn rate is proportional to the intensity of the activity. For example, going for a walk would only burn a small amount of additional calories, whereas running or hard climbing can burn hundreds of additional calories per hour.
Fill in the fields below to determine your approximate daily caloric requirement. Estimate the time you spend (in minutes) in each physical activity category. Strive for precise estimates–for example, a two-hour climbing gym workout might be entered as 30 minutes of "heavy" activity (actual climbing) and 90 minutes of "very light" activity (belaying and walking around).
Examples: walking, belaying, etc.
Examples: fast walking, easy bicycling, light hiking
Examples: jogging, hiking, bicycling easy climbing
Examples: running, difficult climbing, lifting weights, steep hiking
Examples: sprinting, climbing at personal limit, mountaineering with heavy pack

Hey, another quick render, or another two quick renders. because i have the free version i had to render two images and stitch them into a panorama together. It came out alright for not too much work i guess. I promise my next submission will be space
Sike it's a sun wrong pic.
It's a planet.
What is this?? Mojoworld oder Terragen 2? Or something different?
terregen1, actually
But how did you do the volumetric clouds there below? My Terragen1 is far from the ability to do such clouds...
Those brown clouds... I can only imagine the upper atmosphere of Jupiter would look a bit like this. It would look even better if there was some tall large clouds poking out of the rest resembling thunderstorms forming.
Love this. Amazing colors!
Awesome !
where's the airplane ^^
very nice my friend..
Hmm, this is nice, but it looks a tad plain for my tastes (sorry).
Looks pretty nice, but it looks grainy
Nice work!
you beat me to it! I'm rendering an image like this, but a little darker...but really awesome job on this
God dammit jagged
This rocks
This rocks
wow, very nice!
a little grainy, but that's probably because of the free version.
I need to get to work in TG2...
a little grainy, but that's probably because of the free version.

Looks like a still from superman... Wicked cool
Thats pretty intense, good work
hey! It's great to see some of your work again. Im glad I kept you on my watch
The low clouds and sunset look really, really good. The upper cumulus clouds need to be a bit "fatter" or something. Still a nice piece, I need to make a piece like this soon...
this is AWESOME

Arsenal v Man Unitedby A Yahoo! User May 23, 2005 20:47
man.u had the 90s, i'll admit that. and yes, for once they played better than us(fa cup). but lets level here, man.u aren't winning trophies, your players show a lack of interest in football, its just money to them, they are relentless cheaters, and somehow recently manage to have made some of their great players turn inconsistent and whiney. i miss the late 90s when arsenal and man.u had a fair rivalry, when matches were skilled and controlled. now we have fights, injuries, bookings, bad refereeing etc. arsenal are better, and i'd like to see them win 5-0 but a close match is always better. i'm an arsenal fan and a football fan.

Again I couldn't agree more. Shay Given would be perfect.. I say we also make a pass at Zat Knight on Fulham. He's a young, huge rising star center back and got his first cupple caps in the US tour. Lets take him
I suggest that Arsenal should buy the mexicain keeper Sanchez , he was very during his match against Brazil & what are they waitin to buy Rubinho , Baptista and Hleb !!!!!!!
It's not like he killed anyone... *cough* Steve Finnan? *cough*
- A Yahoo! User Jul 31, 2005 10:09 Flag
i think Mr.Wenger should buy 1 new goalkeeper to replace lehmann. in my opinion, he is useless, poor keeper than div 3's keeper. i reckon sebastian Frey. he is young and i think wenger will develop him to become a great keeper like buffon. Wenger side still need to improve at the back, they should but another centre back. i reckon Asthon Ferdinand from west ham utd. he is young and didn't cost too much... and mr wenger like young player too.. NOW,arsenal FC would have a headache when wenger sell vieira, but why not wenger try to bring NICKY BUTT from newcastle le??? he is good enough to replace vieira. they should also buy a winger such as figo or joe cole or even vicente from valencia. For striker Arsenal should try to sign owen or defoe. both are young enough and they should become great players in the future. SO,WENGER GO AHEAD!!!! IF NOT NEXT SEASON.... YOU ONLY WILL FINISH 8TH IN THE STANDING.....
However, Gerrard would not be keen to play for Arsenal.
Arsenal needs players who are fully commited.
I dont know what people see in paying for Owen,certainly not monetary value anyway.I think he is a light weight striker who contributes nothing to anything he plays in except goals.We need someone who can give assists like Henry and also score goals.We dont need a non-dribbling striker who lives on lucky tap ins.If we want someone who will bring in commercial value to Arsenal,we might as well buy Beckham(oops!!).
Julio Baptista, or Robinho both great players worth getting.

hey funki is this list u compiled for fantasy football if not where is the money coming from?
i think wenger is losing his marbles and arsenal should start looking for a new manager
- A Yahoo! User Jul 12, 2005 00:56 Flag
much as i'd love wenger to get a new keeper in I would say this. Keepers are fragile things poor dears, whilst our current keeper looked poor this year at times, he has done it for us in the past.It's all about confidence and building a rapport at the back, in many ways it's a management issue not a player issue.
Having said that I'd still love a new keeper but the problem here is everyone is talking about Cudicini but I really don't think Chelsea would let him go... For what it's worth I think Wenger may try to go down the management route on this one and get them better gelled at the back with better rapport.Either way lets hope it works.
Oh i see lol....its a post of long ago haha

Absolutely. I first did a double take when I saw this thread but then realised how old it was. Back at the time this was done Keano was ending his career and Scholes had lost all his form. SAF has done a great job this year and though I normally would hate Man U winning anything, this year I'd rather they won than Chelsea. Hopefully in two years time Arsenal will be on top again as well.

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE 05/06 CHAMPIONSHIPby A Yahoo! User Jul 14, 2005 22:47
in fairness to a.w i read statistically that viera was our weakest link in midfield when he was playing last season we averaged about 1.2 points compared to when he wasnt playing and we averaged about 2.3 points.i cant remeber the exact points but we were gaining more without him than with.i believe gilberto is by far underestimated in they're partnership.being our holding man in midfield new youthfull players like fabregas who was excellent in every game i saw him last season may now blossom.as great as edu was he wasnt much cop last season.id have put fabregas and flamini on the pitch before him anyday.fuck experience its all about commitment our youngsters can handle the big stage giving 110% each game.

overrated passed his prime
Arsenal Fans I know we are all angry about the sell of PV... but there is one thing we do have is a manager who knows about players and what he is doing. Can you really SEE MR AW selling a top class player and not having his ACE up his sleeve!!
Where is your faith in our Manager!! Last season we played a group of youngsters/Kids (Frabagas Flamani etc) for our mid field for a lot of our last season(2nd Chelsea game 2-2) ...
So even though i am angry i still know and have faith that MR AW is going to pull a rabbit out the hat... and those's Arsenal fans who dont then shame one YOU!!
I agree that Ballack might not be the best signing but we need to buy someone for the midfield. Last year we had Viera, Edu, Gilberto, Flamini and Febragas and at times due to injuries and suspensions AW struggled to get 2 of them on the pitch. Now we have lost both Viera and Edu we need cover. AW mentioned Pires for center midfield but since his leg break he always pulls out of tackles and wouldn't do.
I think it would be good business to go for someone like Dacourt who wouldn't cost to much and would be short term.
I also think that going for Michael Owen would be good business too. We need another prolific scorer. What would we do if TH got injured? I think he would be the perfect fox in the box we have needed for years.
- A Yahoo! User Aug 2, 2005 09:07 Flag
I think the main reason might be Owen's wages are expensive... but looking at our current strike force now, I'll say we r still better than Chelsea, the problem is when Henry is injured, Bergkamp might cannot play for 90 minutes, Robin is not back yet, are we going to depends on Lupoli and Quincy only? If yes, can they penetrate Chelsea's defence? So, Owen might be a good buy. Owen was trying to prove that he should be given the start in Real, but does he has to prove it in Arsenal? His performance in Spain is better that what he can do in EPL, his style suits Spain more?
- A Yahoo! User Aug 8, 2005 09:15 Flag
It is sad to lose yesterday... it was hard to penetrade Chelsea's defence despite with the talent we have... we really need some good defenders and goalkeeper... if we really want to challenge Chelsea, we'll need more clean sheet...
As for a question of the year, "Why don't we sell Cygan?"
I think the answer will be "no one wanna buy him."

Dakota Supply Group (DSG) Names Phil Baumel As Its Plumbing Segment Manager
DSG has promoted Phil Baumel to the position of plumbing segment manager, taking over for Ryan Tracy, who was promoted to sales manager in April 2015. Baumel will work closely with DSG's Chief Segment Officer, Mike Tupa, and Sales Manager, Ryan Tracy, to create an environment in which DSG's plumbing customers can succeed and grow. He will work out of DSG's Hopkins, Minnesota, branch.
Baumel has served in the plumbing distribution industry for more than 30 years, working for wholesale distributors in the Twin Cities area. He joined Pipeline Supply in 2014, which DSG acquired in January 2015.
"Phil knows the plumbing industry inside and out," says Tupa. "He's a great fit for the position, and we're confident that he'll serve our customers and our manufacturer-partners well."
Schneider Electric Announces Awards for the Distributors of the Year ACE Program 2013
Schneider Electric has announced its 2013 Distributors of the Year for the Automation & Control Excellence (ACE) Program. Dakota Supply Group, with headquarters in Fargo, ND is receiving this honor for their remarkable performance in Drives Level in 2013.
DSG named "National ESOP Company of the Year"
Dakota Supply Group has been named the 2014 ESOP Company of the Year by The ESOP Association. The award was presented at the Association's 37th Annual Conference in Washington, DC. The ESOP Association is the national trade association for companies with employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) and the leading voice in America for employee ownership.
Since Dakota Supply Group's establishment in 1898, the company and employee owners have worked hard at making a name as a full-line distributor of electrical, plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, communications, utility, automation, waterworks, filtration and metering technology products and systems. In 1996, the company became an ESOP, and in May 2006, Dakota Supply Group became 100% employee owned. Continually growing since 1898, the company has had 10 acquisitions since 1999 and Dakota Supply Group now numbers 595 employee owners.
Dakota Supply Group is a strong supporter of employee ownership and its employee owners strive to represent the company at both Chapter and National ESOP Association events. Employee owners are regular attendees at Minnesota/Dakotas Chapter meetings and enthusiastically participate on Chapter committees and as presenters at Chapter and National conferences. The company actively recruits "Dakotas" ESOP companies to join the Chapter and was a catalyst for changing the Chapter name to accurately represent North Dakota and South Dakota. Working to strengthen employee ownership in America, the employee owners of Dakota Supply Group meet with members of Congress and work to promote ESOP issues not only in their home state but on the national level as well.
"I'm delighted to present the employee owners of Dakota Supply Group with the 2014 ESOP Company of the Year Award," said ESOP Association President, J. Michael Keeling. "The employee owners integrate the ESOP into all they do at the company and also endeavor to share that ESOP spirit with the community. Dakota Supply Group is an example of the value and potential that employee ownership can bring to a company."
DSG Acquires Woodruff Co.
Dakota Supply Group is pleased to announce the addition of Woodruff Company to the DSG family of companies. This new partnership was effective on April 30, 2014 and will add to DSG's existing service area in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.
"Both companies share a commitment to the long-term success of our customers," says Mike Tupa, DSG's Chief Segment Manager. "This move creates a company that is greater than the sum of its parts."
Woodruff, which also has locations in Austin and Winona, will now be known as DSG, but it will retain its staff, and virtually all other proceedings will be "business as usual" for customers and manufacturers. This new partnership will further develop DSG's service area in southern Minnesota, eastern Wisconsin and Iowa. Woodruff will add nearly 20 employee owners and more than 60 years of experience to the DSG brand.
MDM Supply To Open New Branch In Billings, Montana
MDM Supply, a division of DSG, has committed to opening a new branch in Billings, Mont. MDM Supply is one of Montana's most respected distributors of plumbing and HVAC/R products, as well as hydronic heating and cooling supplies. This new branch will be located at 1838 King Avenue West on a 6.5-acre lot in a busy commercial district of western Billings. Remodeling of the existing structure will get started in early 2014, and the new branch is expected to open sometime in the spring. The completed facility will have 23,000 square feet of space.
Roy Eskro will serve as branch manager of the new MDM Supply branch in Billings. Roy has more than 30 years of management experience, previously serving in such roles as regional manager for a large plumbing and HVAC distributor as well as working as a manufacturer's representative. "We're excited to bring the customer-first philosophy of MDM Supply to the Billings area," says Eskro. "We are looking forward to being an important asset to the community and continuing to grow in our product offerings."

Four-Point Spell
Revision as of 11:02, October 14, 2012 by 126.96.36.199 (Talk)
13,130pages on
this wiki
this wiki
The Four-Point Spell is a spell that causes the caster's wand to behave as if it were a compass and point North. Its incantation is "Point Me." the only incantation in modern English mentioned in any of the books.
This spell was found by Hermione Granger for use by Harry Potter (whether she invented it or merely found it through research is unclear). Harry used this spell on a number of occasions, however mostly during the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament, which involved finding his way through a dangerous hedge maze, without getting lost on his way.[1]
Behind the scenes
- In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the Four-Point spell serves as a play aid, directing the player to the next objective by means of a blue streak of light.

Cold front brings snow to the foothills
A wave of cold air brought winter back to the foothills on Tuesday, leaving behind several inches of snow across the northern
The National Weather Service of Sacramento issued a winter weather advisory from 3:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday for elevations above 2,000 feet, projecting two to four inches of accumulation in the foothills and six to 12 inches at higher elevations. Northern trans-Sierra passes bore the brunt of the precipitation in the afternoon, though areas of lower elevation like Grass Valley, Nevada City and Colfax received a dusting as well.
Weather service meteorologist Johnnie Powell said most of the storm would pass by Tuesday evening. There is a chance for more snow this weekend, but it would be "nothing significant," he said.
He did not expect snowfall or travel difficulties at elevations below 1,800 feet on Tuesday, and his immediate forecast called for cool nights and mostly sunny days until the weekend.
"A front is moving through … so we're looking at highs for Thursdays and Friday in the
Powell had no official data for the region, but said most communities have seen slightly below average precipitation this year.
For many local ski resorts, it has still been a massive improvement from last season.
General Manager Amy Ohran of Boreal Mountain Resort said this year's snowfall has almost tripled the previous season – 243 inches since October, compared to 91 inches in the same time frame last year. She said season-to-date snowfall was "slightly below the average," but cold temperatures have helped maintain the base.
"Last year was one of the lowest seasons of snowfall in recent history, so this year is a little bit more average," Ohran said. "Early season was fairly erratic, stormy. However, we turned the corner in late December where we had storms that were very manageable followed by long periods of sunshine, which is kind of a skier's ideal."
Brooke Rose, a spokeswoman for Northstar California Resort, reported 288 inches of snowfall on Tuesday since Oct. 1, 2012; up from 108 inches in the same time frame last season. She said this week's snowfall was a welcome addition, and the guests appreciated the turn in the weather.
"In the village right now, it's snowing pretty heavily, but up top it's also snowing quite a bit," Rose said. "It's nice and cold. Everyone who comes down keeps saying how shockingly cold it is outside compared to yesterday."
Though he could not predict the next major storm, Powell said there was more to come for winter sportsmen.
"The rainy season is December, January, February, March, then after March – April 1 is the cutoff – that's when 99 percent of your significant storms are in," he said. "It's only February, so more heavy hitters will come, then after April, the rain probably shuts off until Thanksgiving. We might get one or two fronts coming across."

With great fanfare today Microsoft and Netflix announced that subscribers can now use their Kinect systems to control their Netflix movie accounts with hand gestures
With great fanfare today Microsoft and Netflix announced that subscribers can now use their Kinect systems to control their Netflix movie accounts with hand gestures and voice commands. How exciting! If it actually worked . . .
Kotaku reports:
"Let's find out how long it takes to select and watch our favorite Netflix movie using Kinect instead of the Xbox 360 controller!" That was the simple metric we wanted to try to test the new Kinect support in the Xbox version of Netflix. I suspected that it'd take a little bit longer to use Kinect's motion controls, but that it'd be worth the extra time to forgo the controller entirely.I didn't suspect the time difference would be infinity.
I didn't suspect the time difference would be infinity.
The Twitter universe seems equally unimpressed.

At issue doesn't seem to be any malfunction, but rather just the limits of what the interface can do by design. Apparently users can only pick movies from the "Suggestions For You" list, and they can't pick movies they actually want to watch.
Sort of defeats the purpose of using Netflix, unless one just watches everything the service suggests.
Of course there's no need to panic for Microsoft or for Netflix users. Updates and patches will no doubt come out early and often, and, one would hope, will soon fix the rather huge limitations of the interface.
In the meantime, users who want to shake their fists and yell at their Xbox-based Netflix accounts are still free to do so. They just shouldn't expect much in return.
