Nokia changes its naming conventions again. Gets back to pure numbers
When you churn out tens of different product models every year, it must be hard to keep track of their numbers. It must be even harder if you are Nokia, and have to give each of your phone model a number and/or name, that any customer will understand.
At one point in time, when Nokia Symbian smartphones were top of the line, high end thingies that warranted their own series number, Nokia almost got it. We had the N Series for their flagship devices like N73 or N95, that blew our minds with their specs. We had E Series series devices like E65 or E71, for business use, and then we 4 digit numbers like Nokia 6230, for everything else. But then Symbian started moving to lower end phones, and it became hard to figure out what each phone is about.
About two years ago Nokia decided to try something new – split their devices into a number of series like C, N, X, etc; and then add a number to them. The higher the number – the better the specs of the device. So we started getting phones N8, X7, C7, C6, etc;. But then, to differentiate between older and newer versions of the device, Nokia decided to attach the version number to it, and the whole thing became a huge mess.
Just try explaining to a normal user asking for Nokia C6, why do we have two completely different phones C6-00 and C6-01, where even an operating systems are not the same. And figuring the difference between X1-00 and X1-01… don't let me start.
So today Nokia finally decided to do away with the whole letters and numbers mess, and get back to … just numbers.
From now on each Nokia phone will have 3 digit number identifying it – like the just announced Nokia 500. The first digit will show you the price/feature set of the phone – the higher it is, the more expensive and feature packed it gets. The other too digits are a unique device identifier at a particular price point.
Look's kind off OK for Nokia, on paper. Let's see how it works in real life

Nov. 4, 2011
Flushing, N.Y. - After suffering an upset in Thursday's main draw, Bruin freshman Robin Anderson regrouped to win a consolation singles match on Friday at the 2011 USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Anderson, who suffered a three-set loss to Baylor's Diana Nakic in the main draw, posted a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Vanderbilt's Jackie Wu. She will next face Ana Veselinovic of Auburn Montgomery in Saturday's consolation quarterfinals.
Anderson and teammate Skylar Morton were supposed to play a consolation doubles match on Friday, however their opponents, Lauren Embree and Joanna Mather of Florida, withdrew from the tournament. Anderson and Morton will now face TCU's Millie Nichols and Olivia Smith on Saturday.

You can always count on outrageous entrances, pimped out red (or white, or black) carpets and plenty of over-the-top performances at the VMAs. But until that envelope is cracked open and the name is called, nobody really knows who is going to take home those Moonmen during the broadcast. (And no, just because we work at MTV doesn't mean we're in on the winners' list.)
As the anticipation builds for Sunday night, we asked a couple of professional pop-culture junkies to help us predict the VMA class of 2011 using a complicated system of … oh, let's face it, they were guessing just like the rest of us. (For a more mathematical approach, find out what Vegas oddsmakers predict for the VMAs .)
Video of the Year
Adele, "Rolling in the Deep"
Beastie Boys, "Make Some Noise"
Bruno Mars, "Grenade"
Katy Perry, "Firework"
Tyler, the Creator, "Yonkers"
Ian Drew, Senior Music Editor, Us Weekly : "Adele will win. I think it was her year, and this will cement that she is the new face of the music industry."
Kyle Anderson, Staff Writer, Entertainment Weekly : "This seems like a really tough one. Adele has a lot of nominations, but I don't ever feel like there was any excitement for that video. … I would think this would go to Katy, though it's not her most iconic video. It's her message video, and it's a clip that people talked about, and it has a lot of fireworks in it. Who could say no to that?"
Best New Artist
Big Sean (featuring Chris Brown), "My Last"
Foster the People, "Pumped Up Kicks"
Kreayshawn, "Gucci Gucci"
Tyler, the Creator, "Yonkers"
Wiz Khalifa, "Black and Yellow"
Drew: "I think it's Foster the People's breakout year. This is a way to honor this band that is bubbling up and taking over. They're kind of this year's Kings of Leon, because everyone is talking about them."
Anderson: "It's kind of weird that Foster the People are in there, but they seem to be peaking now, and they've had a slow burn. But this seems to be where they give Tyler the Moonman, even though I think the buzz around Odd Future has cooled off. … Of all these videos, when Tyler's premiered everyone talked about it and he seems self-promotional enough and enough of a lightning rod [to make for good TV]. Plus, it's hard to get that image of him playing with the cockroach out of my head."
Best Pop Video
Adele, "Rolling in the Deep"
Britney Spears, "Till the World Ends"
Bruno Mars, "Grenade"
Katy Perry, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)"
Pitbull (featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer), "Give Me Everything"
Drew: "I'll give this one to Katy, because I think Adele will take Video of the Year, and they'll want to give Katy something big and honor her for a slew of amazing videos. This one is the best; it's so poppy and high-concept. Katy's videos are a throwback to the great art of video making, while Adele's is very simple."
Anderson: "There's a lot of heavy hitters and, again, I would like to hand something shiny to Adele, but I don't think of 'Rolling' as a pop song in the way the rest of them are. I'm a real sucker for Katy Perry, and I think the 'Friday' video is kind of awesome. It's big and colorful, and she's clearly into it and trying very hard. It's a definitive statement of who she is and the year she's had. Plus, any time you can get a Rebecca Black cameo in there …"
Best Rock Video
Cage the Elephant, "Shake Me Down"
Foo Fighters, "Walk"
Foster the People, "Pumped Up Kicks"
Mumford & Sons, "The Cave"
The Black Keys, "Howlin' For You"
Drew: "I have a feeling Foster will take Best New Artist, and this was the year of Mumford & Sons, so maybe this is the place to honor them. They had a high-concept video as well, but they could want to honor the veteran Foo Fighters because they did another one of their comedic, hilarious tongue-in-cheek videos."
Anderson: "I'm not a big Mumford fan, but I like that video because mopeds are funny. I think the win will go to the Foo Fighters, though. They've done parodies before, but it's such a strange choice to pick 'Falling Down' as an inspiration, and in a weird way it works. It's a movie about white-people problems, and there's no better middle-age white-people problems band than the Foo Fighters. It's the best song on that record, too, and it reminds of why that band is so great."
Best Video With a Message
Eminem (featuring Rihanna), "Love the Way You Lie"
Katy Perry, "Firework"
Lady Gaga, "Born This Way"
Pink, "F—– Perfect"
Rise Against, "Make It Stop (September's Children)"
Taylor Swift, "Mean"
Drew: "I think it's clearly Lady Gaga. There hasn't been that kind of example of a message song tied with a video in a long time, and the message is plastered across the video so strongly. Plus, they don't want her to leave empty-handed, because when it comes to acceptance speeches, she gives a great, echoing message and it guarantees a great on-air moment."
Anderson: "My favorite video out of all of these is the Pink one. Even it goes through very well-trod material in music videos that appears in every Lifetime movie, it gets the point across in nice way. I know the song 'Born This Way' has a message, but I'm not sure that video has a message unless it's about space travel. If I was a voter, I'd go for the Pink video, but of all of these, it seems like Katy's works the best, if only because she's never done anything like that before, whereas Eminem has a lot of videos about domestic violence. It's such a departure for Katy, who grew up so sheltered and is just now engaging with these kinds of issues that it feels like it could be a thing that could help be a culmination of her crazy-ass year."
Best Hip-Hop Video
Chris Brown (featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes), "Look at Me Now"
Kanye West (featuring Rihanna and Kid Cudi), "All of the Lights"
Lil Wayne (featuring Cory Gunz), "6 Foot, 7 Foot"
Lupe Fiasco, "The Show Goes On"
Nicki Minaj, "Super Bass"
Anderson: "I really, really like that Wayne video if only because I'm very charmed by the idea that Lil Wayne would go see 'Inception' and say, 'I gotta do that!' It seems like exactly how his brain works, 'I'll slow-motion fall into water!' But it seems like Nicki Minaj's to lose. That song and video have been weirdly sticky."
Best Female Video
Adele, "Rolling in the Deep"
Beyoncé, "Run the World (Girls)"
Katy Perry, "Firework"
Lady Gaga, "Born This Way"
Nicki Minaj, "Super Bass"
Drew: "This is probably the toughest category. You figure Adele will get Video of the Year and she could sweep this one as well. Katy's a contender, but Gaga won't get it and Nicki's not as a big in terms of the impact of her video. Beyoncé's video is very high-tech, high-energy and very well choreographed and stylized and is one of those ones they typically would honor. But it will be down to Katy or Adele, and even though her video was not the best one, I think they might try to do a sweep with Adele [to make a statement]."
Anderson: "I feel like Adele has to win one of these and this may be the one, just because among these people, she also feels like the outlier. Everybody else is very polished and in the mainstream, and I like an outlier."
Best Male Video
Bruno Mars, "Grenade"
Cee Lo Green, "F— You"
Eminem (featuring Rihanna), "Love the Way You Lie"
Justin Bieber, "U Smile"
Kanye West (featuring Rihanna and Kid Cudi), "All of the Lights"
Drew: "I think Cee Lo should win, even though Bruno is performing, and it's tempting to give him something. There's no denying the impact of Cee Lo's video, and you will get a hilarious moment of his accepting the award onstage."
Anderson: "Even though my favorite is Cee Lo, it seems like his window might have been missed, so I'm gonna give this to Eminem, although it's weird giving Best Male to a video that prominently features a woman. It's very well done and cinematic and it gets the point across."
The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8. See the list of nominees, revisit last year's highlights and vote for Best New Artist by visiting VMA.MTV.com.

Tom Barton Discusses the 2014 Mustang and F-150
I certainly hope this finds all of you well, as we begin to wind down summer. At this time of year, the so-called "dog-days" of summer, it is easy to remember the slight apprehension that came along with thoughts of the fleeting care-free days, the arrival of a new school year, and the fast approach of busier times. It is a bittersweet feeling that remains for most of us, despite not having to return to school in September. Even for us adults, working each day, we sense the changing time and the slight "breather" that is June-August will end very soon.
Traditionally, this was the time when all the new car and truck models would make their debuts. Now, Ford and the other manufacturers will roll out new product any time the factory is ready and quality has been checked and re-checked. In 2014, we will get an all-new 2015 model year Mustang and F-150! This is big for Ford and Beach Ford, as there are no more-iconic brands within the Ford family than Mustang and F-150! They are the two vehicles that our customers most identify with their lifestyles. Because of the history that both vehicles possess, our customers are very particular when ordering them, and. luckily for us, they have some of the highest number of options available in an automobile. One man's practical, work-on-the-weekends, get-it-done truck can easily be another man's luxury coach, containing the highest-grade leather and all the other items found in the best high-end vehicles.
By far the biggest stories for us in 2014 will be the launch of these legendary Ford icons. I have seen both of the new, top-secret, versions of these fine vehicles and only one word works to describe them. Perfection. It should be fun and I look forward to seeing you in the coming months at Beach Ford!
Thank you for being part of the Beach Ford Family,
Tom Barton

Hemmings tells the fascinating story of the effort to save the Bonneville Salt Flats that brings together racers, geologists, politicians, and the local mining company.

Because the salt is still too wet and muddy, the 2015 Bonneville Speed Week has been cancelled. Last year the event also didn't happen due to heavy rains.

Every once in a while, Mother Nature has a rather tenuous relationship with her children. Such a scenario plays out each and every year as mankind clings to one of the last vestiges of open space left on our planet, the Bonneville Salt Flats, to which hundreds of men and women each year flock to take out their frustrations with the pace of life by attempting to outdo and one-up the accomplishments of those who dared make a similar attempt in years prior. It's a vicious cycle, and one that depend

The world needs crazy inventors with wild dreams. While we might not long for the things that they create, their contraptions certainly make the day a little more enjoyable. Take the Carpool Deville as an example. Nobody (well, almost nobody) is asking for a hot tub fashioned from a 1969 Cadillac that is still drivable. But now that you know that such a beast exists, don't try to tell us you aren't at least intrigued.

No, it's not a new SLS AMG, but an original 300SL that Bob Sirna bought a year out of college in the early 1980s. Since 2001, it has been repurposed as a Bonneville Salt Flats racecar.

When you're royalty, you can associate yourself with things as cool as the world's most powerful electric car, and that's just what Prince Albert of Monaco is doing. The Prince, along with Princess Charlene, made the trek out to the Beehive State to make a photo appearance with the Venturi VBB-3 at Wendower airfield. He was probably hoping to get a quick drive of the 3,000-horsepower rocket on wheels, but that was not meant to be.

You've probably heard of Mickey Thompson, if not for racing home-built Indy cars or punting early Funny Cars down drag strips, perhaps for the tire company he founded, his successful forays into off-road racing or, crucially, his attempts to break land speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats. In 1960, he became the fastest man in the world after going 406 miles per hour in his race car, the brutish four-engined Challenger I, but the record was never completed and made official due to a breakd

We imagine Mike Niemans is one of those folks, and the idea in question is putting a tank engine on a Type 1 Volkswagen Beetle. Not just any old tank engine – as if there were such a thing when we're talking about putting them in cars – but a 668-cubic-inch, 220-horsepower radial engine built by Continental in 1941 and procured f

We don't envy the designers who pen bikes for the likes of Triumph or Harley-Davidson. Machines like the Bonneville and Sportster are inherently popular for their nostalgic looks, and die-hard fans are the first to cry foul when the bikes wander too far from the original recipe. As the Triumph Bonneville Speed Twin Concept elegantly illustrates, that's a crying shame. As the brainchild of English designers Roy Norton and Tom Kasher, the Speed Twin is a modern take on the classic Bonneville. The

Here's what customers need to know to sign up for a one-on-one consultation.
Martin's Super Markets and Beacon Health Systems have launched a new initiative to help the store's customers maintain a healthy diet and exercise.
Maria Haisley, most recently a registered dietitian and nutritionist at Elkhart General Hospital, will serve as health and wellness advisor in Martin's new "Eat Smart. Be Well." initiative.
Haisley's duties will include conducting one-on-one consultations with Martin's customers to help them form healthy eating and exercise habits. The consultations will last 30 minutes and cost $30. Afterward, the customer receives a $30 Martin's gift card.
Those interested in the consultations, which have limited availability, should check Martin's website for updates, email Haisley at email@example.com, or call her at 574-239-1858.
Haisley agreed to answer five questions from The Elkhart Truth about her new role.
Q: Why does it seem that more people are trying to eat healthier?
Haisley: One reason, I believe, is that people have started to see the bigger connection between their overall health and the food that they eat. People are changing their eating habits to help them feel better, improve energy and to help maintain a health weight.
Q: How should people decide what's best to eat, when there seem to be so many conflicting studies and theories?
A: We make many food-related choices throughout the day, what to eat for breakfast, what am I going to feed my family and what am I getting at the store today? Yes, it can be confusing at times with all the new studies and food products to decipher. This is one reason we wanted to grow the "Eat Smart. Be Well." wellness initiative to make it easy for shoppers to know what is healthy for them.
Q: What is the most challenging aspect of your work?
A: Knowing that there is only one of me and still wanting to be there to answer health and wellness questions for all members of the community!
Q: What are you most excited about regarding your new job?
A: Being accessible to Martin's shoppers and community to answer nutrition questions in a way that is easy to understand and can benefit their health. I'm also excited to provide wellness consultations, wellness workshops, group store tours and attend community events. Food and living a healthy lifestyle is my passion, so this ultimately allows me to work in an environment surrounded by food and the opportunity to help others live a healthy lifestyle.
Q: How can people stay committed to eating right and exercising?
A: It all starts with making "the choice." Once someone commits to eating healthier and being more active, the next step is to work at changing eating habits and your environment so that it is easy to continue making a lifestyle commitment, not a quick fix. This is something that does not happen overnight, but it is one change at a time that leads to big changes.

Time Salvation - Defined.
Elder Afton Richards wrote a pamphlet in 1956 entitled, "Why I Am A Primitive Baptist". On page 21, he gives a definition of time salvation. Elder Richards says, "Primitive Baptists read the Scriptures with the desire of getting the harmony taught therein, and they enjoy much comfort that others do not get. When salvation refers to what God does for man without action on his part, and by the meritorious work of Christ, they know and realize that it refers to salvation in its highest order; preparing one to live with God in glory after death. When salvation is mentioned in connection with the acts of men; or man is to perform some action to bring about a better situation for himself, they know it is to be to the child of God (one freed from the guilt of sin), and refers to a timely deliverance, or something that is for man's benefit while he lives here in the world."
Elder Len Dalton is his book, "Searchlights from the Roman Letter", a very excellent thesis on the book of Romans, published in 1967 wrote, "we need to remember that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation because that it (the Gospel), the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. In other words, there is a Gospel salvation because there is a revelation of the righteousness of God in the Gospel that it becomes the power of God unto salvation."
The Black Rock Address of 1832 gives an excellent admonition: "Brethren, while we rejoice in the glorious truth that salvation is of the Lord, may it be manifested by our lives that we are under the influence of that grace which teacheth that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world." This is what I would define as time salvation.
Part 1: Oral History
I was raised in a Primitive Baptist home; my Dad (Hugh Montgomery) is a minister in the Primitive Baptist church. My Grandfather (J.M. Fannin) and my Great Grandfather (J.T. Fannin) were also Primitive Baptist ministers. I have 2 brothers who are Primitive Baptist ministers: Mike and Tim, and my youngest brother Paul, is active in the church, and introduces services from time to time.
Being a Minister's child, I was carried to many church meetings and heard a lot of preaching. Old Baptist ministers would visit our home and I was blessed to hear bible discussions of them with my father. I can remember many of these discussions would go late in the night, and I would try to keep awake so not to miss any of them. I knew well the ministers of the church in my youth. I can remember hearing several of the older ministers preach; namely Elders O. Strickland, J.A. Rowell SR, Jimmy Bass, Jesse Bass, E.J. Norman, A.D. Wood, R.H. Williams, Ira Fry, Sam Nite, and others. As a child, we traveled to several states to attend Gospel meetings, i.e. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, and of course: all across the big state of Texas. I can remember so many meetings, so many sermons and so many conversations.
I say all this to show that I am not a novice to what Primitive Baptists believe. I feel that I was blessed to see and hear what Primitive Baptists believed not just in my local area, but in a very broad sense.
In all those meetings, sermons, discussions, the subject of time salvation was brought up. These "pioneer" preachers mentioned earlier, many of them were over 80 and 90 years old when I was a child, did preach often on this subject. I recently asked several members if they remember this subject preached when they were young. All responded, "yes". Several of these members grew up in other states such as Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and New Jersey.
I once telephoned Elder J.P. Dale to ask him about this subject. Elder Dale was at that time 87 years old and had been ordained to the ministry for almost 70 years. He did not know Elder Sylvester Hassell personally, but he knew several who did know him. Elder Dale had read Hassell thoroughly and in his opinion, Brother Hassell did not subscribe to the doctrine that teaches that all the elect will hear and believe the Gospel. Elder Dale's earliest recollection of Primitive Baptist preaching was around the year 1908. He remembered hearing the subject of time salvation preached upon back then, even by elderly ministers whose ordinations would date back to the 1850's. I also spoke to Deacon Morris Nowlin who is now 91 years old, and likewise said the same as Elder Dale; that in the early part of this century, the older ministers did indeed preach on time salvation.
This is what I call LIVING HISTORY, an oral testimony of the heritage of our people. These living witnesses speak of meetings held over 80 years ago. They well remember individuals whose experiences would pre-date the Civil War. Even if you do not subscribe to "Time Salvation", you should find this to be very interesting.

The Phrase "time salvation" was called "Gospel Salvation", by Elder Paine in his article noted above. He writes, "Then the Gospel is the power of God unto them (sinners). It takes that saving and calling by grace to enable one to believe the Gospel and to be saved in a practical way by it. Paul, in speaking of the gospel to the church (children of God at Corinth), says: 'By which also are ye saved if you keep in memory what I preached unto you unless you have believed in vain'. We should not become confused over the term "salvation" and mistake the gospel salvation of God's people for the salvation (regeneration) of the sinner."
Elder Biggs did use the expression "time salvation" in his writings. In the article "Life and Death Set Before Them", he writes, "Israel of old did not obey the Law of Moses in order to be delivered, or saved from Egyptian bondage, but to enjoy the land of Canaan. Their happiness and time salvation depended upon their keeping the commands of God, and so it is under the Gospel dispensation. We are not required to obey the Gospel in order to get eternal life, but to enjoy the fruits of it, must obey. God gives us eternal life, and now by the Gospel, tells us how we should live."
Elder Potter wrote about the Gospel, viz., "It is a proclamation of salvation through Christ. One grand reason why men make so many mistakes as to the object of preaching the Gospel, is because they fail to arrive at a proper conclusion at what it is. The primary objective of the Gospel is to encourage and comfort the children of God: and they derive comfort from what it proclaims to them, not what it proposes to them on conditions".
Later on Elder Potter would write, "We are far from believing that God has wrapped Himself up in the Bible and minister, and has so limited his own operations that he can not and will not quicken sinners when and where and as He pleases; without the means of the Bible or preacher. He is limited in nothing. It is the Spirit that quickens the sinner into divine life, and to limit the work of the Spirit to the proclamation of the Gospel, as the Campbellites and Missionary Baptists do, together with all others who hold that the Gospel and Bible are essential to the conversion of sinners, is to deny the omnipresence of God" .
Elder Gregg M. Thompson in the sermon "Abiding and Walking in Christ" from "The Primitive Preacher" uses the expression, "the Christian peace"; he also says, "O Christian! Is it true that your conformity to Christ is your test of union with him? The nearer you live to him, and conform to the pattern he has given, the nearer you thus approach to perfection, and the clearer will be your evidences that you are a child of God, and a joint-heir with Christ. What manner of person then, should you be in all holy conversation? The evidences of our regeneration, justification, and interest in Christ are felt in our souls as we abide in Christ, and walk as he walked; full assurance of this is never attained and enjoyed by us in disobedience. 'As many walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and upon the Israel of God;' Gal. vi, 16. If we grow careless, vain, and worldly, and live after the flesh, we shall die to our Christian peace and consolation; our consciences testify against us, and we walk in gross darkness. 'For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world;' 2 Cor.,1,12." Elders Potter, Paine and Biggs ministered and preached in the same time period as Elder Sylvester Hassell. Elder Dalton was on the editorial staff of the "Advocate and Messenger" along with Elder Hassell and Elder Pittman. Elder Biggs was ordained in 1880. Elder Paine was ordained in 1897. Elder Potter was ordained in 1867. Elder Gregg Thompson was the son of Elder Wilson Thompson.
Elder Cayce, in his article "God the Cause of Sin", was writing in reply from one R.C. Bumb. Mr. Bumb had written an article in the "Sovereign Grace and Pilgrim" put out by Elder W.J. Berry. The article was replying against "time salvation" and also supporting the doctrine of Absolute Predestination. Elder Cayce wrote, "As he (Bumb) asks the editor to tell him if he is wrong, and we find no comment from the editor, we take it for granted that the editor endorses the sentiment expressed and contended for. On another page in the same paper we find this statement over the signature of W.J. Hocutt, of Berry Ala.: 'When I joined the Old Baptists over 50 years ago, this conditional salvation was not known among them, and it has caused much strife and division among them'. This refers to what is termed by some as conditional time salvation, though we seldom hear that expression used among our people today. 50 years ago would take us back to 1883. Time salvation is not a new term among the Primitive Baptists. In another column in this paper is an article copied from Zion's Advocate of May 15, 1858. It was written by M. Hodges of Fountain Head, Tenn., March 11, 1858. In that article he says, 'there is a time salvation to be enjoyed in obedience only. *** As before hinted, our own salvation here mentioned is a time salvation, and we must work it out or go without it'. This was written long before Brother Hocutt joined the church, and was generally believed and advocated by Primitive Baptists then. True, then as now, there were a few who did not believe it, and advocated the same things that the Absoluters advocate now". Elder Sylvester Hassell in his "Questions and Answers" had 2 questions directed to him regarding time salvation. They are as follows.
Question #1: Do such scriptures as 1Cor 1:21; 9:22; Philippians 2:12; 1Tim 4:16; James 5:19-20; refer to a temporal salvation?
Answer: A temporal salvation, a salvation here in time, which God works in us by his Holy Spirit (Isa 26:12; Eze 36:26-27; 1Cor 15:10 Eph 2:8-10, 18-22; Philippians 2:13, 4:13) and which we are to manifest in our outward lives, and we will be more comforted in obedience than in disobedience, and we will gladly and justly give all the power of both our temporal and eternal salvation to God alone. If the texts mentioned in the first sentence of the question mean our eternal salvation, then Arminianism is true and the Bible doctrine of salvation by grace is fundamentally wrong.
Question #2: Does the Bible teach that there is a conditional time salvation?
Answer: The Bible does not use this phrase, and, as its truth is controverted by some of our brethren, it would probably be best to avoid it. But it is certain that the Bible does teach that there is a salvation of deliverance here in time, which we ourselves are to work out (Philippians 2:12; Acts 2:40; 1Tim 4:16); yet we can only do this as God works in us by his grace (Philippians 2:12-13, 4:13, John 15:4-5; 1Cor 15:10). The cause of most controversies is the affirmative of one part and the denial of another part of the truth.
The Black Rock Address of 1832, speaking against "tract societies" says thusly, "If we were to admit that tracts have occasionally been made instrumental by the Holy Ghost for imparting instruction or comfort to inquiring minds, it would by no means imply that tracts are an instituted means of salvation, to speak after the manner of the popular religionists, nor that they should be placed on a footing with the Bible and the preached gospel, in respect to imparting the KNOWLEDGE (emphasis mine) of salvation. Elder John M. Watson in his book, "The Old Baptist Test or, Bible Signs of the Lord's People" (Pub. 1867), said many good and necessary things that would be pertinent to the church today, but to be honest, there are several passages from the book that I completely disagree with. Perhaps an examination of Elder Watson's book could become another item of discussion among us. Part 3: What Time Salvation is NOT.
1. An excuse to sin - It could not be as it would violate Romans 6:1.
2. A convenient way to get our family and friends into heaven – Sappy nonsense.
3. Hyper-Calvinism - Theological twaddle. Petting your dog is not an evidence of eternal life in a person. Affection toward the animal kingdom is NOT time salvation.
4. Hollow Logism - A ridiculous doctrinal tenant. I strongly believe that there is a change in the elect upon their second birth. Examples - Saul of Tarsus, the thief on the cross.
5. A new doctrine - It is as old as the Bible because it is taught in the Bible. Scriptural proof as follows:
• 1Cor 15:1-2 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. • Romans 8:24-25 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. • Ro 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. • Ro 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. • Col 1:5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; • Col 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; • Heb 6:18-19 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; • 1Pe 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, • 1Pe 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. • Ephesians 1:13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.• 2 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also NOW SAVE US (emphasis mine)... • Those scriptures used by Elder Hassell in the "Questions and Answers" paragraph.
Part 4: Other Questions and Answers.1. Can a person be "lost" in eternity but "found" in time? No. I have never heard this supported. 2. Can a person be "lost" in time but "found" in eternity? I believe that all of the Elect will be "found" via Holy Spirit Regeneration. They WILL be found in time in that sense but, will they all believe in election, predestination, adoption, etc.???? I do not believe so. The Gospel tells us that we are eternally saved by the redemption of Jesus Christ. When we are given the grace to believe it as did Lydia in recorded n the book of Acts, that is time salvation to me. 3. Can only old-line Primitive Baptists be timely saved? No, but if you read Dr. Watson's "The Old Baptist Test", you might be led to believe that old-line (or 'old order' as he calls it) Primitive Baptists are the only ones that show fruit that they are eternally saved, and may very well constitute the vast majority of the whole body of the Elect. I will quote Elder Watson from page 63, "These (Arminians, Presbyterians, Methodists, and Campbellites) have made the way broader, and the gate wider, and have become very numerous. Their history has been pretty fully written, and they boast of their numbers as recorded by them. But after all there is a divine depth in the history of the chosen few, which no human research can reach. Their history begins most mysteriously profound in Christ before the world began; hence their number is known only to God; not the number which would be made Presbyterians, Methodists, or Campbellites, in time, but the number given to Christ by the Father before time; the number chosen in him before the foundation of the world. But charity constrains us to admit that there may be some of the Lord's "few" among all those denominations, who are Christians inwardly, but wrong externally". I do not agree with this statement.
Part 5: Concluding Remarks.
I am sure that I could provide more proof that time salvation is a valid Bible doctrine had I more time. I hope that this study will at least show to the skeptics that time salvation is not an emotional reaction, but it is a belief that has been buoyed by a desire to "rightly divide the word of truth." I would agree with Elder Hassell that if the appellation "conditional time salvation" would stir controversy, perhaps a more suitable name be sought. I have heard substitute names as "gospel salvation", "now salvation" and others. I submit this in love to all, and hope it will be received in kind. May the Lord bless you all.

April 24, 2013
by Adam Gonzales
Matt Scott had one of the most tumultuous college careers in Arizona football history. He came out of high school rated as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, with a lot of hype as a freshman playing behind Willie Tuitama. He played in six games his first year. Scott's final numbers were 7-for-11, 84 yards and a touchdown, and 23 rushes for 188 yards and two touchdowns. As the projected starter his sophomore year, his experience as a true freshman was nothing short of valuable.
Scott came into fall camp with now Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles. Scott, a native of Corona, Calif. ended up winning the starting job after camp ended. He started the first three games of the season but that was it. The year did not go as planned, and he would be the first to tell you.
"My fundamentals were horrible," said Scott.
After the Wildcats lost to Iowa, 27-17, Foles took over the starting job, and he wouldn't relinquish it until he graduated. Scott would see some action over the next two years but only in emergency situations. He started two games his junior year after Foles suffered a knee injury in the Washington State game. Scott would start against UCLA and Washington, both resulting in victories.
In 2011, Scott redshirted so he could be the starter as a fifth-year senior. That ended up being one of the best decisions made in Arizona football history.
Scott produced one of the finest seasons an Arizona quarterback has ever had. His final stats included 3,620 yards and 27 touchdowns. He also added 506 yards on 113 carries and six touchdowns. He couldn't have been the starter at a more important time, the first year of the Rich Rodriguez era, and Scott fit perfectly into his system. The Wildcats finished the year at 8-5 with one of the most unbelievable comeback wins over Nevada in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, where Scott led the offense down the field twice in the final two minutes.
Normally, when the season ends, players take some time off to heal after the long season but not Scott.
"As soon as the season ended, I took about a week off and then I went to the East-West Shrine Game," said Scott. "After that I got ready for the NFL Combine and pro day."
Scott is one of the few Arizona quarterbacks to participate in the NFL Combine, and he took complete advantage of it.
"It was a great experience," said Scott. "To have that many great players in one place, and to be able to work out with them was awesome."
After the combine ended, Scott started to prepare for his pro day. Many NFL coaches came to Kindall Field/Sancet Stadium to watch Scott work out with many other former players.
"It was nice to be able to come back to school and see the old faces that I used to see every day," said Scott. "I think the combine might have been a bigger deal because I was honored to be one of the few players that was invited."
Scott has nothing but thanks for how much the staff at Arizona helped him to prepare for the NFL Draft.
"They helped me out a lot," said Scott. "They told me what teams would want me to do in the offseason and they put my name out there. I give nothing but thanks to the staff and the university."
Even though there are many people and coaches who helped him through his career at Arizona, there was one that really stood out to him, former UA quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo.
"Coach Scelfo really elevated my game," said Scott. "He really helped me with my fundamentals when I got here which was huge for me."
If you turn on the TV and tune in to ESPN this time of the year, within 10 minutes you will see experts like Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay talk about players that are going to be drafted.
"I don't listen to any of it," said Scott. "At this point, I could end up anywhere. Watching that stuff won't help me at all."
Since the quarterback position in the NFL is rapidly changing with the emersion of players like Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III, Scott can have a big impact for the teams that are interested in him.
"I've taken trips to the Eagles, the Bills, the Browns, the Broncos, and the Seahawks came to my high school to watch me work out," said Scott. "I don't have an ideal place to go. All I want is someone to give me a chance. I think I can make a big impact because the offenses are changing because of the new quarterbacks, and I think I can come in and make just as big of an impact."
Scott will not be attending the NFL Draft like most players, but he will be at his home in Corona, Calif.
"I'll watch it at home with my family in Corona," said Scott. "I won't be around the TV though, I'll just be waiting for a call. Maybe I'll go shoot hoops at the park."
Like any player that is getting ready for the draft, Scott is a little nervous but is having the time of his life.
"I'm a little stressed because I don't know where I'm going," said Scott. "It could be on the east or west coast and it's just a long process. It's tiring but I really can't complain. There isn't a better situation I could be in right now."

Iowa averaged 28.2 points per game, its highest scoring average since 2010, while collecting seven wins and earning an invitation to the TaxSlayer Bowl. Iowa's total offense surpassed 400 yards per game for the first time since 2005.
Senior wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley became Iowa's career leader in pass receptions (174). Martin-Manley (517) and junior Tevaun Smith (596) both surpassed 500 receiving yards. Both Martin-Manley and senior Damond Powell signed free agent contracts immediately following the 2015 NFL Draft.
In his first year with the Hawkeyes, Kennedy assisted with an Iowa offense that averaged 377 yards total offense per game, including 197 passing yards per outing. Iowa registered eight wins, including five in the Big Ten to tie for second in the Legends Division. Iowa earned an invitation to the 2014 Outback Bowl.
Kennedy has coached four players to All-America honors, while nine of his players have earned first team all-conference recognition. He has coached in 14 bowl games, including four BCS games (two BCS championship games, one Rose Bowl and one Fiesta Bowl). In his first season at Colorado, he helped mold senior Toney Clemons into one of the nation's top receivers. Clemons was selected by Pittsburgh in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Kennedy joined the Colorado staff from the University of Texas, where he spent seven seasons (2004-10) as wide receivers coach, the last six as the assistant recruiting coordinator. In his time at Texas, Kennedy coached in two BCS National Championship games, the 2005 Rose Bowl victory over USC when the Longhorns won the national championship, and in 2009 against Alabama.
Kennedy's first season in Austin came immediately after the Longhorns had lost three wide receivers to the National Football League. He proceeded to build a receiver corps that included three Biletnikoff Award candidates, including two semifinalists and one finalist. In 2008, Jordan Shipley and Quan Crosby both surpassed 85 receptions and 1,000 yards, becoming the 11th duo in NCAA history to each surpass 1,000 yards. In 2009, Shipley was a consensus All-American, setting Texas records for catches (116) and receiving yards (1,485), while matching the school record for receiving touchdowns (13).
His receivers amassed 142 catches in 2005, helping the Longhorns to the third-best single-season passing mark in school history. With the emergence of Colt McCoy at quarterback in 2006, the receivers increased those totals to 158 receptions for 2,180 yards and 25 touchdowns. In 2007, the receivers caught 187 passes for 2,275 yards and 18 touchdowns before the emergence of Cosby and Shipley. Shipley earned All-America honors in two seasons. Kennedy also coached five receivers to seven All-Big 12 honors in seven years.
Kennedy joined the Texas program from Washington, where he tutored wide receiver Reggie Williams to two All-America campaigns before he became the No. 9 overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. Williams set UW's single season mark for receptions (94) and receiving yards (1,454) in 2002. The following season he was fourth in the NCAA in receptions (7.4 per game) and 16th in yardage (92.4). He finished his career as Washington's all-time leading receiver with 238 receptions and 3,536 yards.
He coached running backs at Arizona in 2001, where he coached sophomore Clarence Farmer to first-team All-Pac 10 honors. Farmer led the league in rushing (111.7 yards per game), a mark that ranked 21st nationally.
Prior to Arizona, Kennedy had a six-year tenure at Wake Forest, coaching the Demon Deacon running backs in 1999-2000 after four years (1995-98) as receivers coach. He mentored Desmond Clark, the ACC's leading receiver, and Jammie Deese, who was second in the ACC in receiving, in 1998. After moving to the running backs spot, he coached Morgan Kane, who rushed for 1,161 yards and 10 touchdowns in 1999 while becoming the third leading rusher in school history.
Kennedy's first full time coaching position came at Wyoming, where he coached the wide receivers in 1993-94. He coached two extremely talented receivers while in Laramie in Ryan Yarborough, who was second in the NCAA in receptions in 1993, and Marcus Harris, who led the nation in receiving yards in 1994. Both Harris and Yarborough earned All-America honors.
Kennedy began his coaching career in the Big Ten Conference with two graduate assistant positions. He coached at Illinois in 1990 and 1991 and at Penn State in 1992. At Penn State, he worked with the tight ends and coached two future All-Americans in Troy Drayton and Kyle Brady.
He earned his degree in Political Science in 1989 from the University of Northern Colorado, after lettering at quarterback for four seasons (1985-88). He began his coaching career at Boulder High School, his alma mater, where he lettered in football and track.
Kennedy was born Dec. 13, 1966, in Denver, before growing up in Boulder. He is married to the former LaShonda Lawrence.

What's the most talked-about vacant building in Menifee? It has to be the old Albertson's supermarket, which has been vacant since the store closed in February 2011.

In 200 words or less, tell us what business or type of business you would like to see in the old Albertson's building -- and why. Explain how you think that business would be successful in Menifee and why you would go there.
Send this in an email to email@example.com, including your full name. Please put "Albertson's" in the subject line. Deadline for entries in our contest is Friday, April 12 at noon.

Edward Snowden's Dad Thinks He Can Get Him to Come Home
And that WikiLeaks is a bad influence.
The father of NSA leaker and Russian airport king Edward Snowden believes he's figured out this asylum-limbo situation. Lonnie Snowden took to the Today show this morning to offer what he thinks are acceptable terms for Edward's return to the U.S., which he's also sent in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder: He believes his son will come back to face the consequences if he's promised no pretrial detainment or gag order and the ability to select the location of the proceedings. While that's not typically how things work, the negotiations are also complicated by the fact that Lonnie hasn't spoken to his son since April.
"I love him. I would like to have the opportunity to communicate with him," Lonnie told NBC.
He's also not so sure about these WikiLeaks folks Edward has been hanging around with. "I don't want to put him in peril, but I am concerned about those who surround him," said Lonnie. "I think WikiLeaks, if you've looked at past history, you know, their focus isn't necessarily the Constitution of the United States. It's simply to release as much information as possible."
But he doesn't believe Edward is a traitor. "At this point I don't feel that he's committed treason. He has in fact broken U.S. law, in a sense that he has released classified information," he said. "And if folks want to classify him as a traitor, in fact he has betrayed his government. But I don't believe that he's betrayed the people of the United States." While Lonnie's heart is clearly in the right place, his son is probably thinking something along the lines of, Please, Dad, not now!

me, i'd still prefer a bright flashlight clipped to my pocket, more versatile.
My only issue with this tool is the almost certain requirement for seeing the attack progressing at a distance. It's fairly large in the pocket, has a decent weight to it, and I haven't seen anything that makes it more effective an option than a different tool that I have a much better chance of accessing if I were to I get caught with my (hopefully proverbial) pants down. With limited space on my person, limited funds, and the limitations as stated by George, I give this item a personal thumbs down.
There are simply better tools available, IMO. The decision for your carry gear is up to you, however.
Interesting video. I like the demonstrations of counter defense, and I concur that a ridge-hand style of delivery would be the right way to deploy the sap. My chief concern is with centripetal force that would try to pull the sap off your finger. Some way of increasing retention would be an area to explore in further development.
Personally, for sap defense I'm kind of partial to the Sap Cap.

Report: Solar Scores Big Gains in Electricity Generation
Despite the buzz surrounding natural gas and its increased role in electricity generation, solar seems to be increasingly stealing the spotlight from the newly famous fossil fuel.
Solar Energy Takes Over the Grid
Solar energy accounted for 100% of new power generation built in the U.S. in the month of March.
Solar power shines in March
Each year, the industry has been growing -- not hard when you're so small, but still.
New Federal Report Shows Solar Achieved History in March
WASHINGTON, DC – For the first time, solar energy accounted for all new utility electricity generation capacity added to the U.S. grid last month, according to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC's) March 2013 "Energy Infrastructure Update." More than 44 megawatts (MW) of solar electric capacity was brought online from seven projects in California, Nevada, New Jersey, Hawaii, Arizona, and North Carolina. All other energy sources combined added no new generation.
Incentives Make Solar Affordable
Brendan O'Connor, born in Ireland, says he found a pot of gold on the sunny roof of his West Boylston Street restaurant when he installed 32 solar panels there four years ago.
Stat of the Day: Six States Join 10 Percent Green Power Club
Greentech Media
Six states got 10 percent or more of their power from wind, solar and geothermal power in 2011. That's double the number from just a year ago. Not bad for a down year. CleanEdge released its State Clean Energy Index on Wednesday, tallying up the state of green energy and technology across the 50 states of the union as of the end of 2011.
DOE Funds New Critical Materials Hub for Alternative Energy
The Obama Administration has just launched a $120 million research program for new energy materials called the Critical Materials Hub, which is designed to ensure that U.S. companies get a steady supply of rare earths and other resources needed for manufacturing solar cells, advanced batteries and other alternative energy technologies.
Solar equipment makers seek anti-dumping duty on imports from China, Malaysia, Taiwan
The Economic Times
NEW DELHI: Indian manufacturers of solar equipment are seeking anti-dumping duty on imports from China, Malaysia, Taiwan and the US on the grounds that local industry is bleeding because of "ridiculously low" price of foreign equipment.
The industry wants anti-dumping in imports of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules, and has filed an application to the directorate general of anti-dumping and allied duties (DGAD).
How to Make Renewable Energy Competitive
Renewable energy needs help. Technological innovation has significantly reduced the cost of solar panels, wind turbines and other equipment, but renewable energy still needs serious subsidies to compete with conventional energy. Today, help comes mostly in the form of federal tax breaks.

text: Matt Flynn has had a strange path through the NFL. Somehow he parlayed one record-setting game with the Green Bay Packers into a big payday with the Seattle Seahawks. But he never started for the Seahawks, who traded him to the Oakland Raiders. He then failed to beat out Terrelle Pryor this preseason and failed miserably in his lone start in Pryor's stead. Not surprisingly, the Raiders severed ties with Flynn on Monday by releasing the 28-year-old quarterback.

What is it we want most for our children?
"Begin with the end in mind."
Steven Covey
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
When we think about what we desire for our children many things come to mind. We might include happiness, fulfillment, and personal self-actualization. For our children to reach these goals they will need basic understanding and knowledge. They will require skills and experience on how to manage their lives well. Simply focusing on the academic curriculum of the three R's (reading, writing and 'rithmatic), is insufficient in paving their road to success. As evidenced by our study, youngsters are in dire need of learning the basic skills of life that will allow them to manage the inevitable stressors in their lives. If we are going to improve the success and happiness of our children, and ourselves as well we will need to include formal instruction and practice in emotional intelligence. These skills include communication, stress management, conflict management, time management, relationship building, and personal image management. Each of these topics are areas that we often see lacking in our own families, friends and colleagues. But the focus in schools is often on academics with high-stakes testing and competitive admissions to university. How did we come to teach so many things that have little relevance or bearing on that which matters most? It may have come to pass because we forgot to think of the end. We focused on tests, scores, admissions, and competition. We encouraged, coached and counseled. In some cases we threatened, bribed or intimidated to try to get our kids into good schools or on the right career path. We forgot that in the end success would not be measured or improved by the knowledge or the skills we were teaching. While the basics are necessary they are not sufficient in assuring success in life.
This book then, is designed for counselors, teachers, and parents-all those who love children and desire to help them develop life skills and the strategies to the cope with the many stressors in their lives. It presents a collection of group sessions and activities designed to help students to explore these issues and practice these essential skills. These topics build on each other and we encourage you to proceed through this book in order. This guide is divided into six overarching topics (stress, personal alignment, time management skills, communications skills, relationships, and making transitions). Chapters Two through Seven focus on these items and each chapter is divided into five sections beginning with A Case Study illustrative of the identified topic. Next appears Chapter Goals which outlines the concepts and skills selected for the chapter. The chapter continues with a section entitled Essential Information. This Essential Information section is designed to make the teacher/reader a "resident expert" in the specific topic being discussed. It is important to have read this information before proceeding further in the activities in each chapter. These activities are described in detail in the Group Focus Sessions at the end of each chapter. We envision the teacher/facilitator using these activities by conducting weekly seminars or group focus sessions with groups of students as you address each topic. The Group Focus Session provides a format, background information, a series of activities to teach the skills and understandings, and often one or more Activity Sheets. We also encourage the use of a student journal to allow for in depth learning and reflection opportunities learning for the students. Finally, Additional Resources for further exploration in this life skills curriculum are provided at the end of each chapter.
Although you can follow the topics in order or choose the ones most relevant to your students, the chapters do build on each other. Unless you have another compelling reason to go out of order, we encourage you to proceed through the book in the order it is presented.
The accompanying CD contains blank activity sheets and other materials you may find helpful for your use.
We wish you luck and an enjoyable journey.
Bon voyage!!!

Jessica Whitehead ranks second in the MVC in kills per set.
Nov. 4, 2013
CARBONDALE, Ill. - - The Southern Illinois volleyball program recorded a historic win last night topping Wichita State for the first time since 2001. The Shockers held a 23-match win streak against the Salukis entering Saturday's competition.
- This season has been a wild ride as Southern has battled through ebbs and flows of a team that features 11 newcomers, including nine freshman.
- Southern Illinois was selected to finish fifth in the Missouri Valley Conference preseason coaches poll and holds that position after splitting this weekend's matches with Missouri State and Wichita State.
- SIU topped Missouri State on Oct. 5 in a thrilling five-set duel. This was the first time in 15 years the Salukis beat Missouri State on its home court. The last season Southern Illinois saw a victory in Springfield was during the 1998 under the direction of Saluki great Sonya Locke.
-Senior Jessica Whitehead captains the Saluki offense this season averaging 4.10 kills per set to rank second in the MVC and 34th in the nation. The outside hitter currently has 1,272 career kills to rank fifth all-time in SIU history.
-Taylor Pippen, the 2012 All-Freshman selection, continues to be a prominent fixture for SIU. The sophomore averages 2.83 kills per set for a team-high hitting percentage of .318, which ranks seventh of the league. Pippen also contributes at the net averaging 1.19 blocks per set to lead the team and rank fourth in the league.
- Freshman Hannah Kaminsky has taken over at the setting position this season with the graduation of Rachael Brown and career-ending injury of Amy Drabant. Kaminsky, a three-time MVC Freshman of Week, has become a utility player for the Salukis averaging 10.34 assists per set, 2.35 digs per set, and 0.57 blocks. The Woodridge, Ill. native has also tallied a team-high 24 service aces.
-The Salukis make their final road trip next weekend traveling to Northern Iowa and Drake. Following the road trip, Southern will play its final three regular season games at home (Nov. 15, 22, 23).
Here is a look of what is happening in the Valley:
- UNI made waves at the top of the league standings last week, knocking off both Missouri State and Wichita State on the road. The Panthers still hold the top spot in the league with a 10-2 conference record.
-Wichita State stands one game behind UNI after falling to the Salukis on Saturday. The Shockers now hold a 10-3 MVC record. Illinois State began the conference season 7-0 but now has a third place standing with a 9-3 record.
- Since 1992, no team has captured the MVC conference race with more than two league losses.
- The middle of the pack is still being tightly contested, as Missouri State (8-5), Southern Illinois (8-5) and Bradley (6-7 MVC) will duel it out the next three weeks for positioning in the Missouri Valley Conference Volleyball Championship.
- Loyola (5-8 MVC), Indiana State (4-8 MVC), Evansville (3-10 MVC) and Drake (0-12 MVC) are still in contention for a spot in the league championship, but will need to secure positive outcomes in their remaining league matches to remain in the conversation.
- The top six teams in the league will travel to Wichita, Kan. for the 2013 MVC Volleyball Championships, Nov. 28-30.

So pretty! I love all that tile in the bathroom and the kitchen! Oh my all that jade milk glass. I'm in heaven. I think my walls are the same color!

This has got to be one of the most cheerful homes I've ever seen. It puts a smile on your face just looking at the pictures!
If one lives in a cloudy area, this is the look one should strive for!

Oh, that is such a restful home. Makes me think of taking a long nap after leisurely reading the paper. Fab.

I really like the bath, too! The kitchen is a little too cutesy-sweet for me, but it really is adorable and very well done!

Love the site. Such great photos. I also have turquoise in my kitchen--countertops in that color are not the easiest to find.
