ShouldYou Believe It?
DO YOU believe in the Trinity? Most people in Christendom do. After all, it has been the central doctrine of the churches for centuries.
In view of this, you would think that there could be no question about it. But there is, and lately even some of its supporters have added fuel to the controversy.
Why should a subject like this be of any more than passing interest? Because Jesus himself said: "Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." So our entire future hinges on our knowing the true nature of God, and that means getting to the root of the Trinity controversy. Therefore, why not examine it for yourself?—John 17:3, Catholic Jerusalem Bible (JB).
Various Trinitarian concepts exist. But generally the Trinity teaching is that in the Godhead there are three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; yet, together they are but one God. The doctrine says that the three are coequal, almighty, and uncreated, having existed eternally in the Godhead.
Others, however, say that the Trinity doctrine is false, that Almighty God stands alone as a separate, eternal, and all-powerful being. They say that Jesus in his prehuman existence was, like the angels, a separate spirit person created by God, and for this reason he must have had a beginning. They teach that Jesus has never been Almighty God's equal in any sense; he has always been subject to God and still is. They also believe that the holy ghost is not a person but God's spirit, his active force.
Supporters of the Trinity say that it is founded not only on religious tradition but also on the Bible. Critics of the doctrine say that it is not a Bible teaching, one history source even declaring: "The origin of the [Trinity] is entirely pagan."—The Paganism in Our Christianity.
If the Trinity is true, it is degrading to Jesus to say that he was never equal to God as part of a Godhead. But if the Trinity is false, it is degrading to Almighty God to call anyone his equal, and even worse to call Mary the "Mother of God." If the Trinity is false, it dishonors God to say, as noted in the book Catholicism: "Unless [people] keep this Faith whole and undefiled, without doubt [they] shall perish everlastingly. And the Catholic Faith is this: we worship one God in Trinity
There are good reasons, then, why you should want to know the truth about the Trinity. But before examining its origin and its claim of truthfulness, it would be helpful to define this doctrine more specifically. What, exactly, is the Trinity? How do supporters of it explain it?
How Is the Trinity Explained?
THE Roman Catholic Church states: "The Trinity is the term employed to signify the central doctrine of the Christian religion . . . Thus, in the words of the Athanasian Creed: 'the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God.' In this Trinity . . . the Persons are co-eternal and co-equal: all alike are uncreated and omnipotent."—The Catholic Encyclopedia.
Nearly all other churches in Christendom agree. For example, the Greek Orthodox Church also calls the Trinity "the fundamental doctrine of Christianity," even saying: "Christians are those who accept Christ as God." In the book Our Orthodox Christian Faith, the same church declares: "God is triune. . . . The Father is totally God. The Son is totally God. The Holy Spirit is totally God."
Thus, the Trinity is considered to be "one God in three Persons." Each is said to be without beginning, having existed for eternity. Each is said to be almighty, with each neither greater nor lesser than the others.
Is such reasoning hard to follow? Many sincere believers have found it to be confusing, contrary to normal reason, unlike anything in their experience. How, they ask, could the Father be God, Jesus be God, and the holy spirit be God, yet there be not three Gods but only one God?
"Beyondthe Grasp of Human Reason"
THIS confusion is widespread. The Encyclopedia Americana notes that the doctrine of the Trinity is considered to be "beyond the grasp of human reason."
Many who accept the Trinity view it that same way. Monsignor Eugene Clark says: "God is one, and God is three. Since there is nothing like this in creation, we cannot understand it, but only accept it." Cardinal John O'Connor states: "We know that it is a very profound mystery, which we don't begin to understand." And Pope John Paul II speaks of "the inscrutable mystery of God the Trinity."
Thus, A Dictionary of Religious Knowledge says: "Precisely what that doctrine is, or rather precisely how it is to be explained, Trinitarians are not agreed among themselves."
We can understand, then, why the New Catholic Encyclopedia observes: "There are few teachers of Trinitarian theology in Roman Catholic seminaries who have not been badgered at one time or another by the question, 'But how does one preach the Trinity?' And if the question is symptomatic of confusion on the part of the students, perhaps it is no less symptomatic of similar confusion on the part of their professors."
The truth of that observation can be verified by going to a library and examining books that support the Trinity. Countless pages have been written attempting to explain it. Yet, after struggling through the labyrinth of confusing theological terms and explanations, investigators still come away unsatisfied.
In this regard, Jesuit Joseph Bracken observes in his book What Are They Saying About the Trinity?: "Priests who with considerable effort learned . . . the Trinity during their seminary years naturally hesitated to present it to their people from the pulpit, even on Trinity Sunday. . . . Why should one bore people with something that in the end they wouldn't properly understand anyway?" He also says: "The Trinity is a matter of formal belief, but it has little or no [effect] in day-to-day Christian life and worship." Yet, it is "the central doctrine" of the churches!
Catholic theologian Hans Küng observes in his book Christianity and the World Religions that the Trinity is one reason why the churches have been unable to make any significant headway with non-Christian peoples. He states: "Even well-informed Muslims simply cannot follow, as the Jews thus far have likewise failed to grasp, the idea of the Trinity. . . . The distinctions made by the doctrine of the Trinity between one God and three hypostases do not satisfy Muslims, who are confused, rather than enlightened, by theological terms derived from Syriac, Greek, and Latin. Muslims find it all a word game. . . . Why should anyone want to add anything to the notion of God's oneness and uniqueness that can only dilute or nullify that oneness and uniqueness?"
"Nota God of Confusion"
HOW could such a confusing doctrine originate? The Catholic Encyclopedia claims: "A dogma so mysterious presupposes a Divine revelation." Catholic scholars Karl Rahner and Herbert Vorgrimler state in their Theological Dictionary: "The Trinity is a mystery . . . in the strict sense . . . , which could not be known without revelation, and even after revelation cannot become wholly intelligible."
However, contending that since the Trinity is such a confusing mystery, it must have come from divine revelation creates another major problem. Why? Because divine revelation itself does not allow for such a view of God: "God is not a God of confusion."—1 Corinthians 14:33, Revised Standard Version (RS).
In view of that statement, would God be responsible for a doctrine about himself that is so confusing that even Hebrew, Greek, and Latin scholars cannot really explain it?
Furthermore, do people have to be theologians 'to know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he has sent'? (John 17:3, JB) If that were the case, why did so few of the educated Jewish religious leaders recognize Jesus as the Messiah? His faithful disciples were, instead, humble farmers, fishermen, tax collectors, housewives. Those common people were so certain of what Jesus taught about God that they could teach it to others and were even willing to die for their belief.—Matthew 15:1-9; 21:23-32, 43; 23:13-36; John 7:45-49; Acts 4:13.
Is It Clearly a Bible Teaching?
IF THE Trinity were true, it should be clearly and consistently presented in the Bible. Why? Because, as the apostles affirmed, the Bible is God's revelation of himself to mankind. And since we need to know God to worship him acceptably, the Bible should be clear in telling us just who he is.
First-century believers accepted the Scriptures as the authentic revelation of God. It was the basis for their beliefs, the final authority. For example, when the apostle Paul preached to people in the city of Beroea, "they received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily as to whether these things were so."—Acts 17:10, 11.
What did prominent men of God at that time use as their authority? Acts 17:2, 3 tells us: "According to Paul's custom . . . he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving by references [from the Scriptures]."
Jesus himself set the example in using the Scriptures as the basis for his teaching, repeatedly saying: "It is written." "He interpreted to them things pertaining to himself in all the Scriptures."—Matthew 4:4, 7; Luke 24:27.
Thus Jesus, Paul, and first-century believers used the Scriptures as the foundation for their teaching. They knew that "all Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work."—2 Timothy 3:16, 17; see also 1 Corinthians 4:6; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:20, 21.
Since the Bible can 'set things straight,' it should clearly reveal information about a matter as fundamental as the Trinity is claimed to be. But do theologians and historians themselves say that it is clearly a Bible teaching?
"Trinity"in the Bible?
A PROTESTANT publication states: "The word Trinity is not found in the Bible . . . It did not find a place formally in the theology of the church till the 4th century." (The Illustrated Bible Dictionary) And a Catholic authority says that the Trinity "is not . . . directly and immediately [the] word of God."—New Catholic Encyclopedia.
The Catholic Encyclopedia also comments: "In Scripture there is as yet no single term by which the Three Divine Persons are denoted together. The word τρίας [tri′as] (of which the Latin trinitas is a translation) is first found in Theophilus of Antioch about A. D. 180. . . . Shortly afterwards it appears in its Latin form of trinitas in Tertullian."
However, this is no proof in itself that Tertullian taught the Trinity. The Catholic work Trinitas—A Theological Encyclopedia of the Holy Trinity, for example, notes that some of Tertullian's words were later used by others to describe the Trinity. Then it cautions: "But hasty conclusions cannot be drawn from usage, for he does not apply the words to Trinitarian theology."
Testimonyof the Hebrew Scriptures
WHILE the word "Trinity" is not found in the Bible, is at least the idea of the Trinity taught clearly in it? For instance, what do the Hebrew Scriptures ("Old Testament") reveal?
TheEncyclopedia of Religion admits: "Theologians today are in agreement that the Hebrew Bible does not contain a doctrine of the Trinity." And the New Catholic Encyclopedia also says: "The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not taught in the O[ld] T[estament]."
Similarly, in his book The Triune God, Jesuit Edmund Fortman admits: "The Old Testament . . . tells us nothing explicitly or by necessary implication of a Triune God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. . . . There is no evidence that any sacred writer even suspected the existence of a [Trinity] within the Godhead. . . . Even to see in [the "Old Testament"] suggestions or foreshadowings or 'veiled signs' of the trinity of persons, is to go beyond the words and intent of the sacred writers."—Italics ours.
An examination of the Hebrew Scriptures themselves will bear out these comments. Thus, there is no clear teaching of a Trinity in the first 39 books of the Bible that make up the true canon of the inspired Hebrew Scriptures.
Testimonyof the Greek Scriptures
WELL, then, do the Christian Greek Scriptures ("New Testament") speak clearly of a Trinity?TheEncyclopedia of Religion says: "Theologians agree that the New Testament also does not contain an explicit doctrine of the Trinity."
Jesuit Fortman states: "The New Testament writers . . . give us no formal or formulated doctrine of the Trinity, no explicit teaching that in one God there are three co-equal divine persons. . . . Nowhere do we find any trinitarian doctrine of three distinct subjects of divine life and activity in the same Godhead."
TheNew Encyclopćdia Britannica observes: "Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament."
Bernhard Lohse says in A Short History of Christian Doctrine: "As far as the New Testament is concerned, one does not find in it an actual doctrine of the Trinity."
TheNew International Dictionary of New Testament Theology similarly states: "The N[ew] T[estament] does not contain the developed doctrine of the Trinity. 'The Bible lacks the express declaration that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are of equal essence' [said Protestant theologian Karl Barth]."
Yale University professor E. Washburn Hopkins affirmed: "To Jesus and Paul the doctrine of the trinity was apparently unknown; . . . they say nothing about it."—Origin and Evolution of Religion.
Historian Arthur Weigall notes: "Jesus Christ never mentioned such a phenomenon, and nowhere in the New Testament does the word 'Trinity' appear. The idea was only adopted by the Church three hundred years after the death of our Lord."—The Paganism in Our Christianity.
Thus, neither the 39 books of the Hebrew Scriptures nor the canon of 27 inspired books of the Christian Greek Scriptures provide any clear teaching of the Trinity.
Taughtby Early Christians?
DID the early Christians teach the Trinity? Note the following comments by historians and theologians:
"Primitive Christianity did not have an explicit doctrine of the Trinity such as was subsequently elaborated in the creeds."—The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology.
"The early Christians, however, did not at first think of applying the [Trinity] idea to their own faith. They paid their devotions to God the Father and to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and they recognised the . . . Holy Spirit; but there was no thought of these three being an actual Trinity, co-equal and united in One."—The Paganism in Our Christianity.
"At first the Christian faith was not Trinitarian . . . It was not so in the apostolic and sub-apostolic ages, as reflected in the N[ew] T[estament] and other early Christian writings."—Encyclopćdia of Religion and Ethics.
"The formulation 'one God in three Persons' was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. . . . Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective."—New Catholic Encyclopedia.
What the Ante-Nicene Fathers Taught
THE ante-Nicene Fathers were acknowledged to have been leading religious teachers in the early centuries after Christ's birth. What they taught is of interest.
Justin Martyr, who died about 165 C.E., called the prehuman Jesus a created angel who is "other than the God who made all things." He said that Jesus was inferior to God and "never did anything except what the Creator . . . willed him to do and say."
Irenaeus, who died about 200 C.E., said that the prehuman Jesus had a separate existence from God and was inferior to him. He showed that Jesus is not equal to the "One true and only God," who is "supreme over all, and besides whom there is no other."
Clement of Alexandria, who died about 215 C.E., called God "the uncreated and imperishable and only true God." He said that the Son "is next to the only omnipotent Father" but not equal to him.
Tertullian, who died about 230 C.E., taught the supremacy of God. He observed: "The Father is different from the Son (another), as he is greater; as he who begets is different from him who is begotten; he who sends, different from him who is sent." He also said: "There was a time when the Son was not. . . . Before all things, God was alone."
Hippolytus, who died about 235 C.E., said that God is "the one God, the first and the only One, the Maker and Lord of all," who "had nothing co-eval [of equal age] with him . . . But he was One, alone by himself; who, willing it, called into being what had no being before," such as the created prehuman Jesus.
Origen, who died about 250 C.E., said that "the Father and Son are two substances . . . two things as to their essence," and that "compared with the Father, [the Son] is a very small light."
Summing up the historical evidence, Alvan Lamson says in The Church of the First Three Centuries: "The modern popular doctrine of the Trinity . . . derives no support from the language of Justin [Martyr]: and this observation may be extended to all the ante-Nicene Fathers; that is, to all Christian writers for three centuries after the birth of Christ. It is true, they speak of the Father, Son, and . . . holy Spirit, but not as co-equal, not as one numerical essence, not as Three in One, in any sense now admitted by Trinitarians. The very reverse is the fact."
Thus, the testimony of the Bible and of history makes clear that the Trinity was unknown throughout Biblical times and for several centuries thereafter.

Barnes and Noble in Joplin MO is a major publication shop in America which has headquarters in New York City at 122 Fifth Avenue. They are acknowledged as a significantly sized retail chain which also incorporates offering Starbucks Coffee as well as offering multiple discounts on select best selling books. Almost all stores furthermore sell periodicals, newspaper publishers, Dvds, visual works of fiction, presents, games and also new music. Games and also similar items ended up offered products encompassed within Barns and Noble GameStop game retailer right up to Mar. 2004, at this time the company created a separate division which ended up being an independent firm. They also sell their digital eBook reading product called the Nook, and also sell numerous versions of "Barnsie" which is their teddy bear mascot.
In 1886 Barnes & Noble was born as a book store named Authur Hinds and Co. which was located in New York City inside of the Cooper Union Building. Clifford Noble started working at Authur Hinds and Co. during 1886 as a clerk. From there Clifford became a partner in 1894 and they changed the company name to Hinds & Noble. In time, Noble started a partnership with William Barnes in 1917 and bought out Hinds. At this point, they changed the name of the company to Barnes & Noble. Eventually Noble sold his company shares to William Barnes son John Wilcox Barnes. On June 6, 1936 Gilbert Clifford Noble passed away during his 72nd year.
Some of the books that they sell are published by Barnes & Noble by reprinting inexpensive titles which are non-copyrighted or have purchased the rights. Originally they started by publishing books in the 80s by reissuing titles which were out of print. Over time Barnes & Noble diversified their publishing operations which also led to tapping into the educational sector by purchasing a publishing and education website service called SparkNotes. From there they launched a division called Barnes & Noble classics which was tailored to children and adults which were originally published in hardcover. On 2003 they revisited and re-expanded it's classics and hardcover books and paperbacks.

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
A Johns Hopkins-led team of scientists is conducting a four-year program to map the genetic code of 1,000 people of African descent. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute has provided the team with $9.5 million in study funding.
Researchers say their initial goal is to find genetic variations underlying asthma and to explain why the disease disproportionately afflicts blacks. As much as 20% of African-Americans reportedly have asthma.
Study principal investigator and immunogeneticist Kathleen Barnes, Ph.D., says the effort to sequence the genetic code of 500 asthmatics and 500 nonasthmatics "represents an exciting opportunity to disentangle the genetic basis of a host of other diseases, not just asthma, which have a hereditary component and uniquely or disproportionately affect minorities."
For part of the initiative, the researchers have contracted with Illumina to create a commercially available, customized gene chip, or DNA microarray test, dubbed the "African power chip," to quickly find single mutations in genetic materials from blacks that may be associated with heightened disease risk.
Dr. Barnes, a professor in the division of allergy and clinical immunology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the university's Bloomberg School of Public Health, and her team say they will make their findings freely available to other researchers through the dbGAP national database of genome-wide association studies, maintained by the National Library of Medicine.
Dr. Barnes says her team's findings should fill in serious gaps in the hunt for genetic variations posed by Illumina's existing genotyping chip and a similar gene chip by Affymetrix. Both chips were developed from whole genome sequencing of predominantly white European men and women and do not represent potential variations found mostly or only in minority groups.
"One of our biggest barriers as researchers trying to find the underlying genetic roots of disease in minority groups has been the persistent lack of microarray testing tools relevant to each racial profile, especially African-Americans," says Dr. Barnes, director of Johns Hopkins' Genetics Research Facility and its Lowe Family Genomics Core laboratory.
"Asthma is exacerbated by social factors such as poverty and inadequate education and access to medical care," adds Barnes, "so separating out the genetic component is particularly complex but scientifically doable."
Researchers plan to sequence the genomes of blacks selected from among an international group of people participating in existing genetic studies, who have already been clinically diagnosed with asthma, or without, or who have other kinds of compromised lung function and whose family histories are well documented. The participants will be selected from 15 academic research centers across the U.S., the Caribbean, and South America, as well as from four additional research sites in Western Africa.

we must mark "ConsoleRouter" and "HttpRouter" like alias or we must mark "ConsoleRouter" like invokable with "Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\TreeRouteStack" and "HttpRouter" with "Zend\Mvc\Router\Console\SimpleRouteStack" because with this version (2.0.0), if i get "ConsoleRouter" with ServiceManager, i am not sure i will have a instance of the console router, because "Zend\Mvc\Service\RouterFactory" choose automatically !

Ted didn't come out of nowhere, of course. Those of us who were in Park City at the time watched him grow up, watched him work his way from the Park City farm team to the Park City Ski Team and up through the junior ranks. We remember when he won silver in slalom at the 2004 Junior World Championships, helping him earn a spot on the 2005 U.S. Ski Team.
Now, seven years down the road from Torino, the image of Ted standing on the podium, with that infectious smile on his face, has become a familiar sight. Since Torino he has won the World Cup giant slalom title three times (2008, 2010 and 2011) and is the prohibitive favorite to win again this year. In a sport where races are often decided by hundredths of a second, he has been winning races by margins of up to two seconds.
So it didn't come as a shock when Ted won the giant slalom at the recent World Championships in Schladming, Austria. But the super G? That was another story. The super G is a speed event, where the advantage often goes to those whose bulk helps them carry momentum through flatter portions of the course.
In a country where football, basketball and baseball dominate the sports pages, and where skiing emerges into the public consciousness every four years, winter athletes like Ted Ligety don't get the recognition they deserve. He is more likely to be recognized on the streets of a small town in Austria, where alpine skiing is the national sport, than, say, in Chicago.
But the good news is that, a year from now, the Olympic Winter Games will be back in the national spotlight. And then, we hope, the rest of the country will come to celebrate Ted's accomplishments the way those of us in Park City have been celebrating for most of the last decade.
After the ski season winds down in Europe, you may spot Ted shredding through the trees with some of his friends at one of the local resorts. If so, rest on your poles for a second and enjoy it as he blazes past. It will be something to tell the grandkids about.

Sartorial Soiree
Chicago Blackhawk—and dapper dresser—Patrick Sharp hosted 200 stylish insiders at an exclusive private event celebrating the recent expansion of the renowned Italian luxury brand's Mag Mile flagship.
Sharp and teammates Brandon Bollig and Michael Kostka (all sporting Zegna suits, natch) were the undisputed stars of the crowd that filled the two-story emporium. Guests sipped cocktails and sampled light bites while enjoying mixes from DJ Michaelangelo L'Acqua and a high-energy set from local rising music stars Saam Hagshenas and Jonathan Marks of Hey Champ.
After a night of mixing, mingling and shopping the latest Ermenegildo Zegna and Zegna Sport collections (not to mention finding out more about Zegna's new Personalization Project for made-to-order clothing and accessories), departing guests were gifted a bottle of Uomo, the house's lastest fragrance, as well as an elegant black-and-white silk tie. –Photography by Daniel Boczarski and Barry Brecheisen

The Sheriff's Office has made drug control a top priority in the county, according to Sheriff Dave Edmunds. "We like to do our part in making sure this stuff is out of the hands of the cartels and the criminal syndicates that make huge amounts of money in these kinds of operations."
On Nov. 29, Tyler Herring, 26, from Oklahoma, was pulled over on I-80 near Silver Creek Junction for illegal lane travel. The deputy smelled marijuana while conversing with the driver, and conducted a vehicle search, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The deputy found a personal amount of marijuana in the passenger compartment and 40 pounds of marijuana in a toolbox. The deputy also found firearms and several thousand dollars in a safe within the toolbox.
Because of the firearms and large amount of marijuana in his possession, Herring was arrested on numerous felony and misdemeanor charges.
Another stop on I-80 near Wanship on Dec. 1 led to the seizure of 104 pounds of marijuana. Stephen Rondou, 55, from Wisconsin, was pulled over for a minor traffic violation. The Sheriff's Office canine indicated on the vehicle, and a search revealed the illegal drugs in the trunk, Sheriff's Office officials said.
Rondou was arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges for possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Both men were booked into the Summit County Jail, but have since posted bail.
The Sheriff's Office has seized almost 200 pounds of marijuana, several thousand dollars and assets on traffic stops within the last two weeks.
"I-80 is a drug corridor," Edmunds said. "It's a pipeline between the West Coast and Chicago, primarily. It's understood generally that narcotics travel from the West Coast to the East Coast, and the money goes from east to west. And we've been successful in obtaining both illicit narcotics and money."
Edmunds said that as a law enforcement agency, the Sheriff's Office has an obligation to do its part to curb drug trafficking.
"This stuff is going to someone's community," he said. "And the reality is, whether it's stopping here or passing through here, it is eventually going somewhere. It's going to poison some community. And I see America as all one community. I see Utah as one community."
It is the Sheriff's Office Special Enforcement Unit (SEU) that, in part, conducts pipeline drug busts.
"This is not easy stuff," Edmunds said. "When they get 200 pounds of marijuana off the road, that is excellent police work. It takes years to hone your skills to be able to do something like this. This is not something where you can attend the Police Academy and then start getting out on the road and start doing this stuff."
Proposed budget cuts are threatening to dismantle the entire unit, however, Edmunds said.
"My main concern is that if they are abolished or if I have to reduce them, the number of DUIs that are taken off the streets are going to diminish and the number of traffic collisions we see are going to increase," he said.
Edmunds asked what it would be like if every city and county in the United States took the same stance.
"Illicit drugs would be able to flow through this country unabated," he said. "And what would be the unintended consequences of that? I can tell you unequivocally what they would be. They would be increased deaths, increased overdoses and more children that this stuff would get to, ruining their lives. Drugs are hurting Summit County, and it's hurting our fellow Americans, because that stuff is going somewhere."

I built an Imbel with all the U.S. required parts. I checked my trigger weight and wasn't surprised to find it around 10 lbs. I search the "net" for a lighter FAL after market trigger. All I found was "Falcon Ind." has a spring set. I don't remember the price or weight reduction. I decided to try and make my own set of springs.
I went to "True Value" hardware store with my trigger spring and found the closest match (size). The spring compression was half of the original one. (3 per pak for $1.85)
I compared spring lengths and cut the new one two rounds longer. I then cut two rounds off my sear spring. I measured with my "Lyman's trigger scale" and reduced my pull by 4 lbs.
It's that simple, If you want to try my way I suggest cutting your trigger/sear springs one round at a time. Test your pull and if needed cut "one round" again until your at the weight you feel safe with.
I didn't do anything to my trigger or sear. No buffing, polishing, grinding or cutting. This is the same FAL in my thread " I'm in Guntech magazine"
The hardware store is "True Value Hardware" not "TruValue". It's like the old "Mom & Pop" stores. It's where you can buy just one piece or more at a time. Whitch reminds me, I need to look in my "Brownell's" catalog and get some specs. on some gunsmith extras. Pins, springs, and metal stock.

WIP Wednesday #20
Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot to show you this week. I spent most of the last week either working on my Project Selvage print or writing quilt-along instructions. But here's what I've got going on at the moment.
New projects:
Make Mine Modern swap
These strips, plus many more, will hopefully become my final item for the Make Mine Modern swap. I've got a plan for these little strips—a plan that is either ridiculously awesome or completely insane, I'm not sure which. Maybe both? I guess the only way to find out is to just make the darn thing and see what happens. Preliminary tests yielded promising results, but I have a history of coming up with grand visions that are either beyond my skill level to execute, or physically impossible to make from mere fabric. Fingers crossed that won't be the case here!
Ongoing projects:
1. Hope Valley, 2. Supernova Fabrics - Arcadia, 3. Supernova Fabric choices, 4. supernova-color-scheme, 5. nova block mosiac, 6. all, 7. I did it!, 8. Cut Pieces, 9. IMG_3037, 10. FlourishingPalms cut blocks, 11. Supernova QA fabrics 2, 12. supernova placement
Supernova Quilt-Along
Some very pretty fabric up there, don't you think? These are all Supernova quilts in the making, and I can hardly wait to see how they all turn out! You can see all this and more in the Flickr group. And no, it's not too late to join! Click here to find the previous posts on fabric requirements and block planning and cutting. Catching up is still very doable. The first set of piecing instructions goes live tomorrow, and I'll be hosting my first quilt-along link up next Tuesday. Come show off what you've gotten done!
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Hope Valley (the original Supernova)
Completed quilts awaiting binding:
Modern Meadow
On hold ... yes, still!
Central Park jelly roll quilt
Figgy Pudding quilt
Wonky Log Cabin
This week's stats:
New projects - 1
Completed projects - 1 (Project Selvage print)
Currently in progress - 10 (same as last week)
So what have you been working on? Link up your WIP posts below—remember to link back to my blog in your post, and please comment on at least a few of the other links. Happy sewing!

The Supernova mosaic is beautiful, there are going to be a lot of beautiful quilts made using that pattern. I have a dumb question though. How do you make a mosaic? I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
I'm going out of town next week for Spring break so I'll be a little behind on my Supernova but that's ok.

Ramadan Exuberance In Istanbul
Sultan of the year's other eleven months, Ramadan encompasses the whole world in God's grace and abundance. And experiencing Ramadan in Istanbul - a city whose historical and cultural riches dazzle the eye - is a privilege. An unforgettable Ramadan awaits you in Istanbul with its venues of spirituality and itineraries worth exploring over and over again.
Ramadan In Istanbul Is Different…
When the Ramadan crescent moon glides through the Istanbul night like a silver fish, a wave of excitement spreads through the city. The long-awaited guest has come at last…
Piping hot "pide" bread, refreshing rosewater "güllaç" pudding, the drumbeat in the middle of the night calling people to a day of fasting... An otherworldly atmosphere permeates the city. With festive entertainments that crank up the holiday spirit, Ramadan is different in Istanbul.
The spiritual atmosphere of Ramadan puts the crowning touch on Istanbul's centuries-old cultural treasures, and the city thrums with life 24/7 as the entertainment continues right up to "suhoor", the last meal taken before another day of fasting begins.
Month of plenty, mercy and forgiveness, Ramadan in all its munificence is our guest once again. And Istanbul, with its rich Ramadan culture going back to our Ottoman days, welcomes this special guest with exuberance.
Radiant Istanbul Nights
The "mahya" lights that festoon the minarets of the mosques are a fixture of Ramadan in Istanbul. Strung between the minarets and changed at specific intervals, they invite people to be good. Described by Halide Edip Adıvar as "inscriptions in lights to welcome Ramadan", they impart a magical beauty to Istanbul nights with their radiance.
From The Palace To The Present
In Ottoman civilization, which was shaped by a quest for the beautiful, the spiritual aspects of the month of Ramadan take on a unique aesthetic quality. The "taraweeh" or night prayers were performed in the Palace and, together with Ramadan hymns, in the imperial mosques during the Ottoman period. Addressing the heart as well as the ear, the Palace taraweeh tradition continues today to transport those praying into a state of divine ecstasy at Istanbul's large mosques.
Brotherly Dinners
The French writer Gérard de Nerval The French writer Gérard de Nerval describes Ottoman iftar dinners with some astonishment in his book, Le Voyage en Orient: "Everyone can enter everyone else's home during Ramadan and eat a meal there." And the culture of charity, which is the essence of Ramadan, flourishes today at the iftar tents and open-air iftar dinners that serve tens of thousands of people.
Four staples of the Ramazan dining table
Vedat Başaran*
Although the dishes served in Ramadan vary depending on the season, there are four that are included at all times of the year: Olives, dates, güllaç and Ramadan pide.
Olives and dates supply the body's need for salt and sugar at the end of a day of fasting. Güllaç, whose name comes from "güllü" (rosewater-flavored) and "aş" (soup), is a Ramadan miracle that is light on the stomach as well as easy and pleasant to consume. Ramadan pide (flat bread) is something else altogether, as evidenced by the long lines of people who wait in front of bakeries for hours to buy it.
*Gastronomy expert
"There was once a fruit syrup culture in Istanbul..."
Prof. Dr. Uğur Derman*
When I was a boy, Ramadan fell in summer. We used to watch with excitement from our house in Üsküdar as they hung the "mahya" lights between the minarets. The lights would come on when it got dark, and the tiny bulbs would sway in the night air. At the end the "Hakkı bil" would appear, written in lights. And we would be so happy… Of course, one gets thirstier when Ramadan comes in summer. There was a fruit syrup culture in Istanbul in those days. Syrups were made from all the fresh fruits, and people would line up in front of the Izmir syrup vendors who gathered around the New Post Office at Sirkeci at "iftar" when the day's fast was broken.

Exploring Istanbul In Ramadan
Istanbul offers several different worlds to see and explore in Ramadan. Here are a few enjoyable Istanbul itineraries for you to follow in a summer Ramadan.
The Bosphorus
With the splendid seaside homes strung like pearls along its shores, its historic Maiden's Tower and its coastal landscapes, the Bosphorus is one of Istanbul's loveliest itineraries. A cruise on its waters before 'iftar' will refresh you in the cool air, and after iftar you can stroll along its shores and stop at a cafe for a snack.
The Prince's Islands
Within easy reach from several points around the city, the Prince's Islands dazzle the eye with their historic texture and authentic architecture. Following a restful day under the pines, an iftar repast of island specialties awaits you here.
Traditional Shopping
The Grand Bazaar is the throbbing hub of traditional shopping in Istanbul during Ramadan. All the traditional goods such as jewelry, gems, leather goods, handwoven carpets and the colorful glass and copper trinkets in the souvenir shops are on offer here. If you want to add a unique Turkish flavor to your iftar table, Eminönü, just a ten-minute stroll from the Grand Bazaar, is the place for you. The historic Egyptian Bazaar here is renowned for its rich array of spices and breakfast treats. And the stalls just outside it are a riot of color.
The Historic Peninsula
The historic peninsula is the city's oldest district. Topkapı Palace and the section with the Sacred Relics, the Ayasofya and Sultanahmet Mosques, and Yerebatan Cistern are just a few of the many places to see. And you'll discover the beauty of experiencing Ramadan in Istanbul if you follow the route through Gülhane Park, Sultanahmet Square and the Divan Yolu to Çemberlitaş and Beyazıt Square.
Streets And Malls
A rich world of shopping offering just about every brand on the market is at your fingertips in Istanbul's scores of malls. Meanwhile Rumeli and Abdi İpekçi Avenues in Nişantaşı and Bağdat Avenue on the Anatolian side are major centers for open-air shopping addicts. Ramadan in Istanbul opens the door to a world of tolerance that accommodates preferences of every stripe!

Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on a robot which is driving around. The problem is, that the robot is quiet heavy. There is an inaccuracy of 10cm when he drives 300cm (speed 360 °/s). I've figured out that this inaccuracy is because of the weight. Thus the inaccuracy is constant if the robot has the same weight. So I thought I could fix it. Therefore I thought there should be a possibility, if the robot sees that he hasn't got enough power, he should drive a that bit further, he couldend compensate with the power...
or has someone a better solution for my problem?
I didn't want to specify my class only for my robot so I thought there should be a smarter way to do it then calculating the weight and multipling with a factor, so there's no accuracy
thank you

New Orleans : Michelin's recommendations
New Orleans resembles no other American city. Its long succession of inhabitants has created a rich mix of peoples and cultures that affects everything from cuisine to music, and its distinctive architecture is the result of European ideas adapted to the subtropical climate. While well-known for the bawdy pleasures of the French Quarter where a "laissez les bon temps rouler" attitude reigns, the city also revels in its lovely 19C neighborhoods, unparalleled restaurants and vibrant music scene.

I hate rush jobs. "Haste makes waste" was already two centuries old before Ben Franklin co-opted it, and it hasn't lost any of its truth even as parts of our world have sped up. It is, alas, an easy little rhyme that we too often forget to apply.
Recently I had an awful rush job–a web page that varied significantly from our standard site templates, had been poorly scoped and spec'd, and that was in flux even as we neared a deadline that had been pushed up by a week. I had to cut a lot of corners to get it to work without having to tinker with code that might have affected other pages; one of the corners I cut was on a video embedded in the page. Our site shows videos in a lightbox (we use the jQuery Fancybox implementation), but the code for doing so is deeply entangled with lots and lots of things that weren't appropriate for this page. The page owners didn't want the lightbox, and with time running out I decided that digging into our tangled code for one part of the page wasn't worth the effort; instead, I went with an iframe from a video sharing site and moved on to other things. I hate iframes that show external content, but sometimes you need to compromise to meet a deadline.
The problem with a quick fix like this, though, is that it will eventually come back to bite you. Especially if there are other shortcuts taken, like very poor attention to testing. Anyone who's been doing software development for more than a few months learns quickly that testing is something that you don't rush; indeed, the importance of solid software is something that has even made the news recently. But "test early and often" is another of those seanfhocaili we ignore all too often.
In post-deployment testing (the worst kind), the site owners discovered that the iframe didn't scale on devices like the iPhone. And they really wanted it to scale. So while flurries of emails labeled "URGENT" (a word that should be banned from email headers; if I got to do a rewrite of the Outlook client, it would have a routine that automatically trashes any message with that word in its subject) flew around, I did some web searches to see what smart people have done. And I found a nice, simple, smart answer.
The best implementation of a responsive iframe that I found was from Anders Andersen's Responsive embeds article, based on this A List Apart article. In short, the iframe is wrapped in a responsive div, with the height and width parameters frequently included by video sharing sites in the code they hand you.
For example, this is what the code Vimeo provides for the video below looks like, with the width and height parameters for the iframe set in absolute pixels:

Moments in Morocco from The Perennial Plate on Vimeo.

Moments in Morocco from The Perennial Plate on Vimeo.
The video looks fine in a full-screen browser, but look at it on a smaller device (or even shrink your browser window), and you'll see that it quickly becomes unusable. (I've bumped up the height and width a bit from the original to make the behavior more obvious.)
Using Anders' solution, though, the video works much, much better as its space shrinks:
The thing I most like about this is that it's a pure CSS solution. I've also seen some JavaScript solutions, but dropping JavaScript onto a page to solve a problem like this makes me nervous, especially a page that already has quite a bit of JavaScript lurking on it. Weakly-typed, non-compiled scripting languages need to be used with great caution …
Of course, the real solution is to apply the same kind of discipline to website development that other aspects of software development receive: attention to requirements, testing, project management, and cross-functional coordination would go a long way toward saving us from bad rush jobs and unmaintainable spaghetti code. But that's a harder fix to apply than some CSS and HTML …

The lady Yellow Jackets return three starters from last years ball team that went 17-13 along with some quality returnees and new faces. There is no question that the team has some talented returnees. The key for this year's team is consistency of play, playing at a high level, and doing the little things correctly all the time. The team has as talented of a frontcourt at this level in the nation in Lacey Haughian and Snjezana Dojcinovic. The team will lean on them this year for scoring and rebounding. "We lose quality scoring and leadership in former players' all-American Brittney Klipfel and all conference player Jaime Bentley but feel very confident in the players we have coming back to do a great job."
"Lacey Haughian and Snjezana Dojcinovic will really have to raise their game. We feel very strongly about their ability to do so. Our backcourt is fairly young and inexperienced. This will be another factor in our success. We need our young players to play at a high level," exclaims Coach Nore.
Local talent and floor general Lex Krull is back after a knee injury that happened post season last year. "She has worked extremely hard in the off-season rehabbing and has made an amazing recovery. A lot of weight will be on her shoulders to help some of the new girls along with their game. We feel very confident in her ability to do just that," Nore says.
Coach Nore goes on to explain, "We enter the season with shielded optimism. We know we have the ability to be pretty good. The problem with that is our league is extremely good. We have one of the top conferences in the Nation, top to bottom. The DAC has so much parody and the team's that win are the teams that do the little things. One play in this league could be the difference in finishing first down to eighth. We feel we have the tools to be successful. We need to have consistent leadership; consistency in play and our young kids will have to step up and be ready. We are very excited for the season to begin."

Full SubmissionRio+20: Improving Urban Development in Africa, for Environment, Safety and Accessibility A submission to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development by the UNEP ?Share the Road? Initiative and Amend Rob de Jong, Head of Transport, UNEP and Tom Bishop, Africa Director of Amend November 2011 Introduction UNEP?s Share the Road initiative and Amend recognise the natural confluence of safe roads and sustainable transport. We are both working in Sub-Saharan Africa to improve nonmotorised transport, to make cities safer, to reduce pollution and to increase accessibility. Share the Road is an initiative led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to promote policies in government and donor agencies for systematic investments in walking and cycling road infrastructure, integrated with mass transit systems. Amend is an NGO operating in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the objective of reducing the number of children killed and injured on the roads. We welcome Rio+20 as an important opportunity to highlight a cost-effective solution to many of the most urgent problems associated with road development in urban Africa ? increased investments in walking and cycling infrastructure. This submission details our contribution to the Compilation Document, which will serve as basis for the preparation of the Rio+20 Outcome Document. It focuses on the sectoral priority of sustainable urbanisation, through the development of non-motorised transport infrastructure, which will also contribute to a Green economy and poverty reduction. A Cost-Effective Solution to Some Major Global Problems According to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally more than 1.3 million people are killed every year due to urban outdoor air pollution. Up to 90% of this air pollution comes from the emissions of motor vehicles, and road transport is the fastest-growing sector for greenhouse gas emissions. WHO statistics also show that more than 1.2 million fatalities and 50 million serious injuries are caused each year by road crashes. 90% of these fatalities occur in low- and middle-income countries where pedestrians and cyclists make up the majority of people killed or injured. Investing in road infrastructure for walking and cycling leads to massive benefits in environment, safety and accessibility. It reduces emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, protects vulnerable road users and income earning adults from high-speed motor traffic, and increases affordable access to vital services and employment. Roads for Some versus Roads for All Sub-Saharan Africa has the most dangerous roads in the world, with a road fatality rate of 28.3 per 100,000 people. Despite the fact that millions of lives could be saved and pollution and poverty could be reduced, urban development in Africa continues to benefit the carowning minority, at the cost of the majority who walk, cycle and use public transport. The majority have lost their place on the roads. Pedestrians and cyclists - users of the most healthy, clean and resource-efficient forms of transport - have been pushed out to make way for bigger roads and bigger vehicles. They are now the group of road users most at risk of death and injury through crashes and health problems related to pollution. Saving lives will help to reduce poverty, as so often those who are killed and injured are young adults and children. The death or disability of a breadwinner can push a family deeper into poverty, and a sick or injured child will suffer through absence from school while at the same time costing the family in medical fees. In addition, the healthcare costs from urban air pollution are estimated to cost up to 5% of GDP in developing countries. The Cost of Inaction Sub-Saharan Africa has an average GDP growth rate of 5.1%, which should mean ample domestic and foreign investments in sustainable road infrastructure. Without such investments, road fatalities in 2020 will be 80% higher than now. The problem in urban areas will be amplified due to the fact that more than 300 million residents will be added to Africa?s cities in the next 25 years. The majority of these rural to urban migrants will rely on the most affordable and accessible modes of transport ? walking and cycling ? for which minuscule investments are currently made. In addition to the exponential rates of urbanization, the population of Africa will grow by more than a billion people by 2050. Africa?s rate of motorization is one of the fastest in the world, with thousands of cars added to the roads every day. Globally, the number of private motor vehicles is forecast to triple by 2050. Two-thirds of this explosive growth will take place in non-OECD countries such as those in Sub-Saharan Africa. Change is Possible There are ways to drastically reduce the forecast congestion, pollution, and deaths and injuries, while at the same time bridging the gap between the rich and poor. This solution is to build cities that thrive on integrated, multi-modal transport systems. In modern, green and efficient systems, non-motorised transport will be at the core of mobility planning and implementation. The critical change needed at the level of decision-makers in government and donor agencies is to systematically allocate funds for walking and cycling infrastructure in all urban transport investments. Even a small proportion of funds would go a long way in making investments more accountable and beneficial to the majority of the population, instead of only benefiting the car-using minority. In turn, such investments will support governments in meeting the overarching goal of poverty reduction, as envisaged in the Millennium Development Goals. There have been successes in Africa, through both the Share the Road initiative and the work of Amend. For example, the Kenyan government has enacted a policy change whereby walking and cycling facilities are incorporated into its urban road designs. There are also positive developments in Uganda and Rwanda, and in Tanzania where Amend is working to improve the walk to school for tens of thousands of school children. But more needs to be done in these countries as well as the whole of Africa. The focus of Rio+20 is Green economy in the context of poverty eradication and sustainable development. The international community would be hard-pressed to ignore the rationale and feasibility of increasing investments in walking and cycling on Africa?s roads. The hundreds of millions of people moving around our cities by foot or bicycle, going to school and work, going to meet friends and family, at great undue risk to their lives. They deserve a strong call for action on this occasion of Rio+20.

|Amber Littman
Arguably one of the most successful women's golfers at East Carolina, three-time All-Conference USA performer Amber Littman joins the Pirate staff as an assistant coach in 2011.
Littman, who helped the Pirates to four consecutive NCAA Regional appearances, closed out her collegiate career winning three tournament titles and recorded 26 top-20 placements in 46 career events, including 14 top-10 finishes. Her 75.88 career stroke average ranks as the fourth lowest in school history and she is one of six ECU golfers to win a pair of titles in the same season (2007-08).
The Stoney Creek, N.C. native splashed onto the scene in 2007 by claiming a share of first place in her first collegiate tournament at the Myrtle Beach Classic, where she carded a pair of 71's for a 36-hole score of 142. She capped off her fall semester with her second title, this time at the UAB Fall Beach Blast with a one-over 145 (70-75). In the spring she added a pair of top-10 finishes and closed out the season with five top-10's, a 75.10 stroke average, and was named C-USA Freshman-of-the-Year and earned first-team all-conference accolades.
Littman continued her stellar play during her sophomore season posting five-straight top-15 finishes during the fall including a share of fourth place at the Landfall Tradition with a six-over par 222. In just her second event back from shoulder surgery, she claimed a share of third place at the JMU Eagle Landing and finished the spring with four more top-25 placements. Her 76.36 stroke average and eight top-20 finishes cemented her second-straight First-Team All C-USA honor.
As a junior, Littman posted a 76.31 stroke average in 13 events and claimed her third individual title at the Tri-Match against No. 3 Duke and No. 30 South Carolina at the Ironwood Country Club with a five-under par 139 (71-68). In all she had four top-20 finishes, the fewest in her four-year career.
Bouncing back from a sub-par year by her standards, Littman wrapped up her collegiate career with eight top-20's, including three top-10's and a 75.65 stroke average that culminated with Second-Team All C-USA accolades as a senior. She picked up her third career C-USA Golfer-of-the-Week honors following her three-over par 147 (75-72) at the UNCG Starmount Fall Classic, where she finished tied for fifth place, just six shots out of medalist honors.
Off the course, Littman was a four-time C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll and seven-time ECU Director of Athletics Honor Roll recipient. Littman, who is majoring in criminal justice with a minor in alcohol and drug studies, is scheduled to graduate in December of 2011.
