1 Although the civil and religious portions of the Mosaic Law passed away with the death and resurrection of Christ, the Ten Commandments are still in force. Because of the widespread idea that even they have been abrogated, I shall support this contention from Scripture.
Every Commandment is repeated or clearly alluded to with approval in the New Testament Epistles. Following is a list of some of their occurrences in these letters:
The First (Ex. 20:3) in 1 Cor. 8:6,
The Second (Ex. 20:4) in 1 Cor. 10:7 and 1 John 5:21,
The Third (Ex. 20:7) in 1 Tim. 1:20,
The Fourth (Ex. 20:8-11) in Mark 2:27-28,
The Fifth (Ex. 20:12) in Eph. 6:2-3,
The Sixth (Ex. 20:13) in Rom. 13:9, James 2:11 and 1 John 3:15,
The Seventh (Ex. 20:14) in Rom. 13:9, Col. 3:5, Eph. 5:3, and James 2:11,
The Eighth (Ex. 20:15) in Rom. 13:9 and Eph. 4:28,
The Ninth (Ex. 20:16) in Rom.13:9, Eph. 4:25, and Col. 3:9, and
The Tenth (Ex. 20:17) in Gal. 5:26.
Each of these verses was penned long after Christ rose from the dead. If the Commandments were no longer in force, if God did not care whether people obeyed them, then for Paul, James, and John favorably to quote or to allude to them seems strange indeed. Further, if God had done away with them, then it is not wrong in His eyes for men to worship other gods, to bow down to idols, to take His name in vain, etc. On the other hand, if He is opposed to such behavior, then the Commandments that prohibit it still stand.
Another reason the Commandments are still in force is that the New Testament defines love for one's fellow man in terms of the Second Table of the Decalogue. Romans 13:8-10 explains that a man who loves his neighbor will obey Commandments Five through Ten toward him–if you love your neighbor, you will not murder him, commit adultery with his wife, and so on.
The Fourth Commandment is not reiterated in the Epistles, because the Jewish Sabbath laws were abrogated at the death and resurrection of Christ (Gal. 4:9-10, Col. 2:16-17). The early church began to worship on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7), for on that day Christ rose from the dead. Thus, in this sense the Lord's Day (Sunday) has replaced the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday).
2 The other two uses are the civil and the normative (John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, trans. Henry Beveridge [Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2.7.6-12 in 1:304-309]). My purpose here is not to defend their validity, but merely to explain them.
The civil use of the Law applies to unbelievers. Although it cannot save them, it can at least restrain some of their grosser wickedness. Though they do not love the Lawgiver, they do have some fear of His wrath and, therefore, do not give themselves over to the worst of their depravity. 1 Tim. 1:8-10 asserts:
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine.
If basketball star Magic Johnson, for example, had simply obeyed the Seventh Commandment, he would not have made himself the slightest bit better in the eyes of Holy God. But neither would he be HIV positive. Even though the Law cannot save, anyone who obeys it will have a better quality of life. He who fears its warnings will enjoy this life more, even if he never comes to faith in Christ.
The lives of many of America's youth are silent testimonies to the fact that the Law has a restraining effect upon sin. The last three decades have witnessed huge increases in the number of teenagers who become pregnant outside marriage, abort their babies, carry guns to school, are killed by guns, contract AIDS, and take their own lives. Relatively few of these tragedies occurred as recently as the early 60s.
Why the big change? Among the reasons is that the Ten Commandments were removed from the public schools. When I was a boy, the Decalogue was posted in classrooms, and students recited them. Children were taught that certain actions and attitudes were wrong in the eyes of God. Although it seems doubtful that more than a minority of those children became Christians, few committed the gross sins so common in today's high and even junior high schools. This is the civil use of the Law.
The normative use of the law applies to Christians. When Christ saves someone, the Holy Spirit writes the Decalogue on his heart. Heb. 10:15-16 reveals: "Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them." Note that the Holy Spirit said these things to believers. The Christian simply does not want to do many things that lost people enjoy, because the Commandments are a part of his innermost being. He delights in obeying them, not because he is a legalist, but because he loves his Lord.
3 W. T. Conner, Christian Doctrine (Nashville: Broadman, 1937), 136.
4 A fascinating account of the Law doing its work as schoolmaster appears in the testimony of David Brainerd. God mightily used the Commandments in the conversion of this soul, who, by the plan of providence, became one of the most dedicated missionaries of all time. See Jonathan Edwards, The Life and Diary of David Brainerd (Chicago: Moody Press, 1949) 64.
5 I am assuming that, had the man faced his sin and despaired of his own righteousness, Christ would then have told him to trust in Him alone. It is especially instructive to realize that the Lord Jesus, who is love incarnate, did not try to pick fruit that was not ripe. He did not chase the ruler down the road and try to talk him into making a quick profession. How many of us pastors and evangelists use His restraint?
6 I have identified six evangelistic sermons in the Book of Acts. Peter preached two to Jewish audiences (2:14-40 and 3:12-26) and one to Gentiles (10:34-43). In contrast, Paul delivered one to Jewish hearers (13:16-41) and two to Gentiles (17:22-31 and 26:2-23, although the latter–his testimony before King Agrippa–may not be a full-fledged sermon). All six sermons contain the same four basic themes, although they do not have the same amount on each point. Paul spent much more time on the nature of God in his message to pagan philosophers (17:22-31) than he did when addressing Jews (13:16-41).
A composite of these messages' themes is as follows:
God: That He is holy, He created everything, He owns us, and He holds everyone responsible for what he does.
Sin: That it is breaking the Decalogue, and everyone breaks it.
Christ: Who He is–the sinless God-man–and what He did–die on behalf of sinners and rise from the dead.
Repentance and faith–a faith that produces obedience to God.
J. I. Packer identified these four as the essence of the Gospel in Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 1975), 57-73. Sadly, most modern evangelistic sermons, tracts, and methodologies omit some of these crucial truths. If the Apostles included them, so should we.
7 Charles H. Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit (Pasadena, TX: Pilgrim Publications, 1973) 30:15-16.
8 A similar example of walking someone through the Law appears in chapter 12 of Hell's Best Kept Secret by Ray Comfort (Whitaker House). This chapter is reproduced in the pamphlet "The Law Was Our Schoolmaster" by the same author (Living Waters Pub., P. O. Box 1172, Bellflower, CA 90706). I developed my method independently of Mr. Comfort.

How do you get the best deal for your old car when you buy another car? Most people will tell you the best deal is to sell your old car on your own instead of trading it in to the dealership. I disagree. I think most people can save time and money by trading their car in – if they are able to get a fair price for their car.
Tax benefits of trading in your car
Why? Because there are tax benefits to trading in your old car. In most states, when you trade-in your car when purchasing another vehicle, you are only required to pay sales tax on the difference between the trade-in value and the price of the new car.
Let's look at an example that explains why I believe it can be better to trade in your car:
Without Trade-in:
- New car purchase price: $30,000
- Taxes paid (7% of $30,000): $2,100
- Used car sold by owner: $16,000
- Total cost of new car: $32,100 – $16,000 = $16,100
With Trade-in: (Remember, in this example, the price of the trade-in is deducted from the price of the new car for tax purposes).
- New car purchase price – $30,000
- Trade-in Value: $15,000
- Taxes Paid (7% of $15,000): $1,050
- Total cost of new car: $31,050 – 15,000 = $16,050
I admit, these numbers work perfectly, but you will find that even with lower numbers, the final result is very close. For example, when you buy a $25,000 car and have the option of selling your car yourself for $11,000 or trading it in for $10,000, selling the car on your own results in an extra $300 after tax benefits are considered. That $300 represents real money in your pocket; but I still think trading your car in can be a better deal. Here is why:
Trading in your car can save you time and money. When you trade-in your car, the deal happens that day. You do not have to place advertisements, locate a buyer, arrange test drives, wait for the buyer to line up financing, or deal with any other issues, including future liability. At the dealership you sign a few papers, and the car is no longer your responsibility.
When you sell the car yourself, there are no guarantees. You are responsible for listing the car for sale (which can cost money), finding a buyer, arranging a test drive, dealing with the buyer's financing, determining a safe and secure method of payment, and handling other paperwork. Did I mention that it may take you several weeks to do everything?
In addition to the hassles of listing the car and finding a buyer, in some states the seller can be held liable for problems that occur shortly after the sale. Trading your car in negates those legal liabilities.
Is trading in your car always better? No. Sometimes the dealership will not give you a fair offer, and sometimes you can sell your car quickly and easily to a family member, friend, or coworker and not have to worry about the issues listed above. The tax benefits are also less substantial in states with low sales tax.
But, trading in your car is all about convenience. In the second example above, the net difference was only $300 savings for selling the car yourself. When you add up the time and costs involved, that extra $300 may not be worth the hassle.
The last time I bought a new car, I traded my old car in. I estimate I could have made an additional $1,000 on the sale price vs. trade-in price, but after the tax considerations, the total difference would have been in the ballpark of $500. I had other reasons to trade-in as well – I lived in a small town at the time, and actually drove several hours to a large city where I saved well over $1,000 on the price of my new car. That savings more than made up for the difference of trading my old car in.
The next time you buy a car, investigate how much you can get by selling your car or trading it in. You might just find out that trading your old car in is actually the best deal.

A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a decision by a district court judge to block major parts of Arizona's immigration law.
A three-judge panel sustained U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton's injunction to block four major components of the legislation pending trial, arguing that the federal government would be able to prove that Congress has given sole authority to the federal government to enforce immigration laws and therefore the Arizona law is unconstitutional.
Arizona's Gov. Jan Brewer said in a statement she remains steadfast in her belief that "Arizona and other states have a sovereign right and obligation to protect their citizens and enforce immigration law in accordance with federal statute."
State Sen. Russell Pearce, who authored the legislation, called the appeals court ruling "utterly predictable."
"SB 1070 is constitutionally sound, and that will be proven when the U.S. Supreme Court takes up this case and makes the proper ruling," the Republican lawmaker said. "This battle is a battle of epic proportions. It is about a state's right to enforce the laws of this land and protect its citizens from those who break our laws."
The American Civil Liberties Union was pleased with Monday's decision.
"Today's decision rightly rejects SB 1070's assault on the core American values of fairness and equality," said Omar Jadwat, an attorney with the AACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project.
"Legislators in other states should pay close attention to today's ringing condemnation of Arizona's racial profiling law and refrain from going down the same unconstitutional path," he added.

Uplighting Cornice
Most types of cornice are installed with the purpose of softening the join between wall and ceiling. However, in recent years, uplighting cornice has become more and more popular, with the advent of low cost, energy efficient LED lighting and TV designer makeover shows.
Uplighter cornice (sometimes known as an uplighting trough) is a decorative moulding fitted on the point where wall and ceiling meets. Lights are placed into the trough to provide directional upwards lighting, which has a unique effect and can really help create an ambient mood in a room.
Creating mood lighting with uplighter cornice
With an 'open' top, the uplighter cornice is fixed to the wall approximately 15-20cms from the ceiling and fitted inside with LED bars or lights along the length of cornice. The effect of this is to give a soft 'mood' lighting effect that washes the ceiling with an atmospheric light and takes away the potential harshness of a single pendant light. It is a very clever way of providing additional warmth into a room without being overly dramatic. Alternatively, the cornice can sometimes be inverted and used as a downlighter, maybe to highlight a feature wall or picture.
The choice of light source can be either a T5 tube or, alternatively, cheap to run LEDs which are available in a low lumen or high lumen output - choose depending on what alternative light sources are also used in the room. LEDs can be bought either in a roll format or in the more expensive, but better quality rigid light bars.
Styles of cornice for uplighting
There are many sizes and profiles of uplighting cornice to suit differing room sizes and ceiling heights, from traditional Victorian cornice to match an older period property, to more modern and contemporary designs that will suit buildings undergoing a modern restoration. Again, cornice profile sizes can range from just a few centimetres in height and projection, to those which are nearly 30cm in height and which look terrific in a hotel lobby or restaurant.
How to install uplighters securely
It should be noted that only cornice specifically designed for use as an uplighter should be used since these have been purpose designed with a double fixing point to the wall and mounting lugs to hold the lighting. Normal coving or cornice patterns are not suitable for use as up-lighters. (Standard cornice is normally attached on the top edge to the ceiling and on the back edge to the wall. Trying to fix it by just the single wall mounting point will not give sufficient hold to prevent the cornice from pulling away.)
Similarly an uplighting cornice or trough should be made in a material that is as light as possible, such as hardened high density polyurethane. Hanging a heavy run of plaster projecting from a wall is quite risky, as the natural inclination will be for gravity to pull it out and down. A large amount of mechanical fixing (e.g. screws) would be needed to fully secure the run. This is can be a time consuming process, whereas lighter materials will only require adhesive and minimal fixings.
Of course there is no reason why these cornice profiles cannot also be used in the traditional sense (without lighting) and fitted up to the ceiling.

text: Is Godard Needed? Posted by TPB Staff on Aug 28, 2010 20:24 ShareTweet Yeah, it sucks that enforcers are seeing roster spots dry up because the NHL has been pretty much all about speed for the last couple seasons. But there is a need for an enforcer on every NHL team, especially in the Atlantic Division, where the Rangers and Flyers pretty much designate two roster spots per season for enforcers. With Crosby and Malkin in your lineup, you want that enforcer. Ray Shero realized that back in 2007 and grabbed up Georges Laraque and, to an extent, Gary Roberts. Laraque and Roberts stayed with the Penguins throughout the 2007-2008 season, both leaving after the SCF loss to the Red Wings. Enter Eric Godard. In his two seasons as a Penguin, he's played 71 games in 2008-09, and then 45 last season. He lost 4-6 weeks last year to a groin injury. However, when the playoffs come around, Eric Godard is up in the press box, having never seen the ice. Fast-forward to this season, where Mike Rupp and Arron Asham, both solid fighters, are essentially locks to make the top 12. So where does Godard fit? Or why does Godard have to fit? He's the most expendable player on the Penguins roster, by far. He's making $775,000 this upcoming season. Trading Godard for a turd draft pick somewhere could free up some cash. Easier said than done. We'd just rather have someone who can score goals. Anyone. ShareTweetPenguins Tickets About TPB Staff View all posts by TPB Staff →

Did this video help you?
orangeglow1977: Hey there. You should try using sibu seabuckthorn cleanse and detox face soap.
Amazon sells it for $5 and it really works wonders on skin conditions, acne , eczema etc.
Please try it and post a video of your results. I think you'll be satisfied! :)
DavidTV: Thanks i will, i think i have coconut oil , does it look a yellow/green colour very light lol :)
verniecolon: Try using organic cold pressed coconut oil it has really help with my acne scars, I think in combination with the derma roller will really help the healing. Do some research on oconut oil for scars. I just order a derma roller. thanks for the review
DavidTV: :)
Nav M: Yeah I have been to a dermatologist, and it made she made my skin worse than it was by prescribing me so many different antibiotics and creams and stuff. I just can't trust them anymore, after all, they too are business people. I think the roller can help me if I use it properly, I am just kinda scared because my skin is super sensitive and my immune system is not that great either, so I have no idea how the healing process will work.. but thanks anyways.
DavidTV: Thanks, if you think positive you see life is a different perspective. Wow you have be suffering for a long time, have you been to see a dermatologist. I see slight changes when using the derma roller, but i do think if it is shallow scars use bio oil for a few months then try the roller :) hope that helped
Nav M: wow you are so positive, I had been suffering from acne since 14, I do blame myself for it since I had absolute perfect skin but I started using Proactiv which made me break out in cysts and that's how my acne pretty much started. I am 21 now, was on accutane last year for 3 months- it took away the heavy acne, but I still break out, one thing I was unaware of was that my scars started getting deep, I never had scarring before and my self esteem is ever worse than before! Does the roller work?
DavidTV: Really sounds cool i will take a look
bhchargers: if you want to see faster results just before using the dermaroller drink ginger tea as it gets the blood moving faster which is what the dermaroller does anyway.after using the dermaroller apply a thing called graviola liquid and sangre de drago.Use every 2nd night.Graviola supports healthy cell division and will help break up the scars.SDD helps seal and bring wounds together.it is the most potent antioxdants in the world and it will help speed things up.Both are herbs and are 100% natural.
DavidTV: Thanks so much, that helped me found some hope again,! :)
laurie m: David, you're a gorgeous man, keep it up it does work. I've been doing it for 3 months on my tummy for stretch marks, it is working! Thanks very much for the vid, even my freckles are going away. I use it for facial wrinkles too. I'm subbing to follow your progress. Cheers.
DavidTV: am using a 1.5mm and once a month or 2 times a month :)
billboardnumber1: hi i am using 1.5 mm what are you using? how often can i dermaroll for 1.5 mm?
DavidTV: ok things are good for me i see little change but it is working
DavidTV: it worth doing but its up to you, if its nothing major or its not bothering you too much just leave it, but if it is try at ur own risk, because results may vary :) hope i helped
TheFatAmericans1: is this worth doing with a 0.50mm needle, I just have small red scars nothing major
Jack Quin: @davidy87 Oh thanks cheers mate
DavidTV: nope it helps all scars mine have healed but not a quickly as i hoped but it is working :)
Jack Quin: I mean does it just help pitted scars (typing to fast on phone lol)
Jack Quin: @davidy87 Hey, does the derma roller work for the red marks that are left from acne that leaves a uneven skin tone or dies it just hell pitted scars ?

Best 'Abbey Road' Photo Tributes
Based on a sketch by Paul McCartney, the wordless front cover of The Beatles' 11th studio album has become so iconic that its featured zebra crossing was recently given Grade II status for its cultural and historical importance. But alongside the thousands of fans who have flocked to the North London residential street to recreate the famous pose every year since its release in 1969, the Abbey Road artwork has also been imitated by everyone from Nickelodeon favorites Ren & Stimpy to New York rapper Chubb Rock. Here's a look at five of the most impressive homages.
Paul McCartney – Paul Is Live
Playfully toying with all the conspiracy theories which circulated following the release of Abbey Road, McCartney made it clear that the 'Paul Is Dead' rumour was nothing more than a shaggy dog story with this cover to his 1993 live album.
Kanye West – Late Orchestration
Kanye later compared himself to The Beatles on My Dark Beautiful Twisted Fantasy album track "Gorgeous." But he first aligned himself with the Fab Four when Dropout Bear strolled towards Abbey Road Studios for the cover of 2006 live album, Late Orchestration.
The Simpsons
From Homer's Barbershop Quartet to Ned Flanders' memorabilia collection, The Simpsons has always been chocked full of Beatles references, which made this tribute appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone in 2002 a no-brainer.
Benny Hill – The Best Of
Taken shortly before his death in 1992, the world's most famous skirt-chasing comedian decided to leave his Hill's Angels behind and instead walked along the famous crossing on his own for the cover of his final hits collection.
Red Hot Chili Peppers – The Abbey Road E.P.
Not content with replicating the original's barefoot approach, Anthony Kiedis and co. opted to expose even more flesh when they visited the street with some strategically-placed tube socks for the cover of 1988's The Abbey Road E.P.

Jaro Things to Do
Pass By The Jaro Plaza
Jaro Plaza a.k.a. the Graciano Lopez Jaena Park, is the center of activity in Jaro. Families love to stroll there; friends/lovers meet up there; town festivities are held there.
You have no way of missing Jaro Plaza, especially if you are commuting. Spend some time there to relax under the old, tall trees. You can do some people watching; I enjoyed doing it to learn something about the culture. You can also go to the fruit stalls to check what tropical fruits are in season, then sample some. You can walk around the plaza and have a mini-tour of the District. You will see the Jaro Cathedral and Belfry, the Archbishop's Palace, the ancestral homes of affluent/prominent Ilonggos and the former Jaro City Hall.Related to:
- Family Travel
Visit Jaro Cathedral
After the Dinagyang Festival, we went to Jaro District to visit the Jaro Cathedral.
Admired for its Baroque architecture with Gothic elements, Jaro Cathedral is the the seat of the Jaro Archdiocese. It is the chosen home of the miraculous icon of Nuestra Senora de Candelaria. (Please read my separate tip on Our Lady Of Candles.) It was declared a national landmark in 1973 through Presidential Decree 260.
There was mass going on when we arrived so we didn't have a chance to take pictures of the church interior. They say there only male religious images inside, compared to Molo Church's all-female Saints.Related to:

See The Miraculous Icon of Our lady of...
Enshrined on the Jaro Cathedral is the miraculous image of Nuestra Senora de Candelaria (Our Lady Of Candles). I have just entered the gate of Jaro Cathedral when I overheard a lady tell her friend that the icon is miraculous, and that it was originally a small statue that grew bigger. It made me think, "How could that be?" but I was embarrassed to come closer to them and listen to the rest of the story so I just asked an Ilonggo friend later.
The story of Our Lady's miracles dates back to 1587 when a fisherman found the image in the banks of Iloilo River. It was surprisingly very heavy for its size of only about 1 foot high. Many people tried to help, but they still couldn't lift it. It was only when they agreed to bring the statue to Jaro church, did it become possible for only 1 person to carry it. The statue was set infront of the Church facing the entire town.
Through the years, stories of strange incidents about the image were exchanged by the people. The most popular story is about the disappearance of the image early mornings, with only a mist filling its place in the church. At about the same time, some people claimed to have seen a beautiful long-haired lady with a child in her arms buying oil for lamp; some saw her in the plaza giving her child a bath at the artesian well. Believing that the water touched by Our Lady could have been blessed to have healing powers, people came to bathe in the same well and claimed they have been cured of their ailments. Soon, stories of the miraculous cures spread, and more devotees came.
Today, locals and devotees from other places continue to venerate the miraculous icon of Our Lady Of Candles. You will see the glass-encased icon in the shrine outside the Cathedral, set high on the walls just below its original niche on the facade. If you examine the niche, you will notice that the present icon cannot fit into it anymore. People claim that from its original size of about 1 foot, it has grown to about 6 feet, and appears to be still growing...Believe it or not!
Pope John Paul VI conducted a mass at the Jaro Cathedral during his visit in 1982, and crowned Our Lady of the Candles, declaring it as Patroness of Western Visayas.
Our Ilonggo friend said the best time to go back to Jaro is on the feast day of Our Lady of Candles (held every on February 2) so we could witness the most grandiose religious pageantry in Western Visayas.Related to:

Peppy's Thai Deli: Exotic and Tasty
Taste like the food prepared in Bangkok where I grew up. Just takes me back to the smell and authentic taste I am accustomed to when eating Thai food. One of the best I have tasted out of Thailand.
Favorite Dish: Ask for the noodle dish. Pandan chicken our companion ordered was great.
My wife's choice of masaman was equally great. I tasted all the food in a week's time. You get the picture?
Go early. There is a rush by 11:30 am. For big parties/group call ahead, even 1 day in advance to alert them you are coming. Make arrangement a day in advance.Related to:

Public Utility Jeepney (PUJ)
We went to Jaro District from Iloilo SM City by taking a jeepney bound for Leganes. Fare was only P7/pax. We dropped off at the Plaza and walked towards the Jaro Cathedral.
If you will be coming from the City proper, take the jeepney bound for Jaro CPU or Jaro Liko. Ask the driver to drop you off at the jeepney stop nearest the Plaza or Cathedral.Related to:

A Deeper Look Into Ashley Madison's Data BreachMark Toyaz 0 September 4, 2015 News
AshleyMadison.com, the world's largest extramarital affair dating website was hacked by a group of hackers back in July of this year. The hackers were able to copy a whopping 9.7 gigabytes of information, dumping it all on the DarkNet. Data from over 31 million accounts all around the world was posted online, leading to an exodus of marital issues and divorces.
Due to the site's policy, personal user information was not deleted, even after accounts where closed. That might have been a huge mistake. Between 18 and 20 August, the group responsible leaked 25 gigabytes of users' information including search history, credit card transaction records, real names and real home addresses. This website had many high-profile clients whose data have been made public.
Real Consequences for Ashley Madison
This already famous data breach has led to the resignation of most of the staff from Ashley Madison, including their CEO. Avid Life Media, the parent company of Ashley Madison, is on the brink of collapsing, having to deal with multiple lawsuits. Speaking bluntly, they were not able to protect their users' information. This alone sends a clear message in the adult dating community – no one is safe anymore.
The Emotional Toll is Real
Many people have been affected by this cyber-attack, including officials and public persons. The emotional toll is too large to quantify. Even though not all the data has been stolen or posted online, all the people who have used or are using the platform feel extremely embarrassed. An anonymous user recently declared that this is a very embarrassing event, especially as both he and his wife were active members on the site.
We all know that people are incredibly judgmental, especially when it comes to extramarital affairs. Many people believe that these so called "cheaters" deserved to be exposed. However, we should not judge too hard those who were caught. Many other married people who are in the same boat choose to have an affair without using dating sites or extramarital affair sites. Instead of being judged, all of these people should be supported and helped to regain their lost credibility.
Corporate Hacks on the Rise
Ashley Madison is not the first extramarital affair site hacked by cyber criminals. Home Depot, AdultFriendFinder and Target were all hacked in the past 24 months. Less and less people feel secure on these websites. These hacks can be hell made real for users affected. While companies fear that they might lose millions of dollars or even go out of business, users are fearful that their data is exposed and their spouses and close friends will find out who they really are.
Help is on the Way
Trustify, the leading platform for private investigators and online detectives, recently took over this case and is eager to help users affected by the hack to regain their lives back. Trustify's director and founder, Danny Boice, was sure that all the information stolen would be published on the Dark Web, which is accessible only through a Tor browser. He was right. All the information was posted between 18 and 20 August, 2015.
People affected by the hack can contact Trustify and hire a PI (private investigator), who can scour the dark net and the web to see if their private information is listed online. You can read more about how Trustify is trying to help those affected by the hack here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/was-your-spouse-on-ashley-madison-a-new-type-of-detective-is-ready-to-help/2015/07/24/a041f182-3231-11e5-97ae-30a30cca95d7_story.html.
Many Affairs Exposed
Amidst all the controversy related to the Ashley Madison hacks, people are coming to discover famous names of public persons and theologians whose names appear on the Darknet. Of course, the fun part can't be neglected. Ashley Madison hacks prove that many users love to spend their time flirting with robot users. Read more about this fun fact here: http://bgr.com/2015/09/01/ashley-madison-hack-robot-users/.
Nevertheless, famous theologians and public speakers who claim to be Christians have been found "guilty" to be part of Ashley Madison. For instance, the well-famed Christian theologian R.C. Sproul, whose books have helped millions of people from all around the world, has been found among Ashley Madison's clients. He recently declared at a press conference that he has only visited the website out of curiosity. Even though his wife has died, Sproul declared that he has remained faithful to her even after her passing.
The Ashley Madison hacks might be just the beginning. Stay protected when surfing online and remember that you are never safe. In fact, you might be safer in the real world than in the virtual one.

World briefs
Moscow court frees one punk band member
MOSCOW -- One jailed member of the punk band Pussy Riot unexpectedly walked free from a Moscow courtroom, but the other two now face harsh punishment in a penal colony for their protest against President Vladimir Putin.
The split ruling by the appeals court Wednesday added further controversy to a case that has been seized upon in the West as a symbol of Putin's intensifying crackdown on dissent.
All three women were convicted in August of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred and sentenced to two years in prison. They argued in court on Wednesday that their impromptu performance inside Moscow's main cathedral in February was political in nature and not an attack on religion.
The Moscow City Court ruled that Yekaterina Samutsevich's sentence should be suspended because she was thrown out of the cathedral by guards before she could remove her guitar from its case and thus did not take part in the performance.
Mexico says drug lord taken down by accident
MEXICO CITY -- Mexican marines at first had no idea they had killed the leader of the country's most-feared drug cartel in a gunfight that erupted when they tried to search a group of suspicious men, the navy said Wednesday.
Rear Admiral Jose Luis Vergara said Wednesday that Heriberto Lazcano's body was left at a funeral home along with the body of an accomplice after Sunday's gunfight because marines believed he was just a common criminal and didn't suspect that they had just taken down the leader of the Zetas cartel.
Vergara said authorities only realized they had killed a significant figure when armed men stole the body from the funeral home.
Canadian military officer pleads guilty to espionage
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia -- A former Canadian Navy intelligence officer who pleaded guilty to espionage Wednesday was selling secrets to the Russians for about $3,000 a month.
Sub-Lt. Jeffrey Paul Delisle showed no emotion as he acknowledged to a Nova Scotia provincial court judge he understood the consequences of entering guilty pleas to three charges and was voluntarily giving up his right to a trial.
Federal prosecutor Lyne Decarie outlined the case against Delisle during a bail hearing in March, saying he voluntarily entered the Russian embassy in Ottawa in 2007 and offered to sell information to them. A publication ban was imposed on those hearings.
Delisle, 41, worked at a naval communications and intelligence center in Halifax with access to secret data from NATO countries.
21 killed in attacks across central, north Nigeria
JOS, Nigeria -- Violence across central and north Nigeria killed 21 people as gunmen attacked both security forces and civilians in a region where ethnic and religious tensions still simmer, officials said Wednesday.
The majority of the killings happened in Plateau state, where rioting and violence between Christians and Muslims of different ethnic groups have killed hundreds in recent years. Gunmen killed 14 people belonging to a Christian ethnic group in the region in the Riyom local government area, said Mark Lipdo, who runs a Christian advocacy group called the Stefanos Foundation. The dead included three children and their mother, Lipdo said.

I got tired of the stock motor shaft bending easily. After reading through this thread and others I put a Eflite park 480 with a GWS DD 9 x 5 propeller on my Cessna. I also upgraded the ESC to a Eflite 30 amp. Had to do some adapting of the metal motor mount on the plane itself to get the 480 to fit. I'm glad I went through all the work.
Flew it today for the first time with the new motor, prop and a AR 600 receiver i installed.
Was kind of overcast today but very little wind.
Was nervous as hell when i re-maidened it today. Flew it five times. Definitely faster than the stock set up. Really cool seeing the plane come in with the landing light visible.
First four landings were without flaps. Decided to try the flaps on the final flight of the day.
Really slowed the plane down and she kinda just floated down to the runway.
Like this plane a lot now. My second favorite now behind my Parkzone T-28 .
Just wish the nose gear was not so damn fragile . I thought of changing the nose gear out completely, but I do like the scale looks of the stock nose gear.

Motor question
So, after reading every one of the 2,014 posts in ST 182 Cessna Skylark thread, and the 286 posts in this thread I have a motor question. Please dont be upset, Im pretty sure this is a new question. I am drinking the cool-aid that the Eflite 480 may be the way to go for a motor upgrade; however Im still in the mindset that I want the motor from the former ST version of this plane.
The flyzone C-182 comes with:
18 amp ESC and an 8X5.5 prop that most people are averaging 220 watts
Motor: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCLBY&P=Z
ESC: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXVZZ1&P=Z
Prop: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCLBV&P=Z
The ST-Model had:
30 Amp ESC, and a 9X5 and I cant remember all the watt numbers that were thrown around.
The Flyzone Corvalis Select Scale comes with:
30 amp ESC and a 9X5 prop that most people are averaging 250 watts
Motor: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCLAS&P=Z
ESC: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCLAR&P=Z
Prop: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCLAV&P=Z
The motor and firewall look identical, and it looks like it would bolt up with no modification at all. So I was wondering if any has researched this, or considered this motor as an upgrade. I have a strong feeling that the corvalis motor came from the old ST version of our 182.

stock mounting plate by cutting out a space so the eflite would fit. I used a dremel tool with a grinding stone to cut out a new hole for the eflite. (Yeah, took awhile ) Used a titanium 7/64 drill bit to drill holes for the mounting bolts.
While i had it apart I heavily re-enforced the metal mounting plate. I used 1/4 wood dowels and a crap load of hot glue. The motor mount does not move much at all now.
You could try the corvalis motor. If thats not to your liking, you could go the eflite 480 route. Above all you will learn more.
I've learned a lot making mods to my cessna. At first I was leery about cutting the foam in the cessna. Now, it's no big deal.
I am not the most mechanically person, but I am learning
First flight with the new motor, I was very nervous. I doubted it would even fly, but it flies great.

nut like things that i was able to screw the blots into. The motor sits a little lower to the ground than the stock set up. Seems to fly just fine. Probably does not matter much since a lot of electric motors are mounted pointing down and to the right.
I also had to use a dremel to cut out some foam on the inside of the foam cowl
to allow the eflite to spin freely. I attached a couple pictures of the dremel tools i used, the narrow stone i used to grind the hole larger, took awhile because it would get hot, so i would let it cool as to not melt the surrounding foam. The wider flat stone i used to cut out foam on the cowl. Cut out a hatch that i just glue or tape back into place to make it easier to work on the mount. You can also see some of the 1/4 inch dowel I used to re-enforce the motor mount. The dowel you see has two other dowels coming off its ends, parallel to the fuselage and extending back to the foam near the battery compartment. ( hope that made sense .
Hope the pictures are ok, just used my iphone to take the pictures. Rainy here today, hope to fly some tomorrow.

Thanks for the pics mkrochmaln. Has anyone by chance opened up the wing yet? I'm about to tackle mine to give a more scale appearance to the lighting and wing tips. (adding tip strobes, and clear plastic tip with lights inside) I will post pictures when I've gotten to this.

I found using this motor http://www.hobbypartz.com/60p-dy-103...resccombo.html with a GWS 9 x 7.5 HD prop or APC 9 x 6 works as a great replacement. And you don't have to mod the metal plate it has the 3 hole setup also.
I know your thinking of the Lower KV but with the 9 prop it flies just as good if not more scale than the stock motor at higher KV with a 8 prop.
I used a GWS 8x6 HD prop with the stock motor and did that baby scream.

Thanks FlyGuy! You haven't by chance thrown a wattmeter on it have you? I'd love to see those numbers.
Nope. don't have one. I am not that advanced into the hobby to own one....yet.
I can tell you I fly 2500 mah 3s hyperions and I can get almost a full 20 mins flight time. I do a lot of scale and bush flying with it tho. I would stick to 15 min tho. I have built a log of my fly time using this setup which is why I know I can get 20 mins out of her.

nose gear test flight
Made this video this morning at the weak signals rc club in Temperance,Michigan. Was very windy so I kept the flight short. I made some modifications to the nose gear, this was a test flight. I re-inforced the plastic collar above the wheel pant with two small metal rods(one on each side of the collar) and epoxy and hot glue. I also moved two of the metal plates that are in the cowl to behind the nose gear, to stiffen up the area behind the nose gear fire wall. Not pretty, but it works . The aircraft bounced a few times on landing, but the modification held
I shoulda said other than the tail-dragger mods...which are very cool.
I used a day off and made a short video this morning...actually first one with the 182.
Here's mine:
Here is one that I painted to match one of the planes in our fleet at work. Stripes are Callie-Graphics and she nailed it!! In fact, this same picture (I think) is on her website and I'm working on another one now.
The real plane is a 172, and of course the model is a 182...but who would really know?
It's not flown yet...but it will...and there will be plenty of pictures.

Espicom View: The proposed acquisition of MicroDose Therapeutx will see Teva Pharmaceutical Industries' core respiratory pipeline expand, not only through the addition of MDT-637, but through further product candidates, such as MDT-011, as well as partnered products that are currently in preclinical or Phase I development. Regarding MicroDose Therapeutx' pipeline of other non-respiratory product candidates, such as those in development for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome and autoimmune diseases, Espicom believes that Teva will likely divest these non-core assets, in line with the company's focused business strategy.
Jerusalem, Israel-based Teva Pharmaceutical Industries has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MicroDose Therapeutx, a privately-held pharmaceutical and drug-delivery company based in Monmouth Junction, NJ. Under the terms of the deal, Teva will acquire all of MicroDose's outstanding shares for a payment at closing of US$40 million, additional payments of up to US$125 million upon achievement of regulatory and development milestones, plus sales-based milestones and tiered royalty payments upon commercialisation of MDT-637, and MDT-011, an earlier-stage asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) therapy. MDT-637 is an inhaled, low-dose, small-molecule fusion inhibitor, currently in Phase I development for the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). MDT-637, which is delivered via MicroDose's proprietary delivery technology, prevents viral replication.
Following the appointment in mid-2012 of a new CEO, Dr Jeremy M Levin, Teva undertook a review of its business to improve its current performance and best position the company for future growth. This review identified existing strengths, capabilities and opportunities throughout the organisation and enabled a deeper understanding of the evolution of the pharmaceutical market and the resulting new opportunities. Business development is focused on enhancing the company's core specialty franchises, primarily in the CNS and respiratory therapeutic areas, and making selective investments in new or growing geographies. In the near-term, Teva has expressed plans to focus on small to mid-sized transactions, alliances in key areas and licensing deals. Specifically concerning its respiratory business, Teva has pledged to improve current products, develop existing molecules on its Spiromax platform, and investigate new technological platforms and disease areas. In addition, Teva will continue to divest assets that are not part of its core strategy.
The proposed acquisition of MicroDose is a key example of this near-term focus. MicroDose's product development pipeline will enable Teva to grow its core respiratory business, as well as its drug delivery technology portfolio. As well as dry-powder inhalation technology, MicroDose possesses technologies in the areas of fixed-dose-combination oral dosage (PolyCaps), and needlefree transdermal delivery systems.
Upon completion of the acquisition, Teva will have access to MicroDose's proprietary technology including its multi-dose dry-powder nebuliser device, which requires no preparation and can be administered in under 30 seconds. MicroDose's current pipeline targets respiratory diseases, such as asthma and COPD, respiratory viruses and infections, including RSV, as well as irritable bowel syndrome and constipation.

Minding the Gap

"Data rich and information poor" may be an old story for retailers, but it remains a fairly common one. It was no different for The Brick, Canada's largest volume home furnishings, appliance and electronics chain.
Based in Edmonton, Alberta, The Brick operates 235 stores coast-to-coast with annual sales of $1.4 billion. About a quarter of its stores are franchised and the company anticipates more in the future, according to executives. Growth in both corporate and franchise stores will be supported by six distribution centers in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.
"After operating for 40 years we had a large amount of customer, transaction, inventory and delivery data," says Richard Hannah, senior vice president, information services and CIO. "We had every kind of data you could imagine. But it was very difficult to get the right information quickly in order to make good business decisions."
One common problem was the standard practice of people within the company writing their own database queries. They would then move the data into Access or Excel and massage it to get management information that was specific to their area of the business, Hannah says.
"At one point we had about 800,000 database queries. It was very inefficient and, in fact, became uncontrollable," he says. "Queries were being run during the day and sometimes this had a significant impact on the stores' operational systems. There was also a lot of inconsistency in the data because it was really left up to everybody's individual interpretations ... [as well as] a lot of manual work that went along with all this."
Additionally, the company had a set number of reports that are run regularly; under the existing system, however, any time questions came up about a report, another had to be generated. "Then it took another week or two to get that information," Hannah says. "By the time the report got back to the person who requested it, they'd moved on to the next issue."
Actionable information
The Brick's supply chain and reporting model is more complex than the average retailer's because merchandise is delivered directly to customers' homes. One of the biggest problems was the impact the data management system was having on revenue recognition. "We couldn't identify the difference between a 'written' and 'delivered' sale," Hannah says. "This gap went unanswered for years. We knew it had to be minimized in order for the company to hit its goals."
For example, The Brick might book $20 million in sales "but would only recognize $10 million weeks later and no one could figure out why," he says.
Because 95 percent of all written sales are delivery at some point in time, "we can't recognize the revenue until it's delivered to the customer's house," Hannah explains. "So there was a large discrepancy and no information that would really tell us what that gap was."
The chain first attempted to fix the problem in-house. "We wrote some data stores, but it wasn't data warehousing because it wasn't optimized for the analytical process," he says. "We didn't want to get involved with a big two- or three-year data warehouse project and hope we hit the mark once we're done."
In effect, this was the straw that broke the camel's back — and the first project the company undertook with information management software provider Kalido. "We needed to identify where that money went, from the time a sale was written to the time it was delivered," Hannah says. Sometimes it was uncontrollable, like "customer remorse" such as cancelling an order before delivery. But a large part of it was traced to out-of-stocks or inventory that was discontinued.
The Brick challenged Kalido and its "data warehouse in a box" approach to replicate the company's daily sales reports. In the past, these took the company's legacy system weeks to deliver, but Kalido built a financial analytics engine to deliver the information in less than two days.
Kalido "allowed us to build an agile data warehouse that would answer specific questions, and then build on that to answer the next question that came up," Hannah says. "So we were building our enterprise data warehouse and realizing value from what we're building at the same time."
The company first installed the Kalido system in October 2011, and by December was getting good data. It took a little while longer to make it consumable, according to Hannah, but the company was getting actionable information before Christmas. "It was a big benefit having it at that time because we could start looking at the difference between what we wrote on Boxing Day [December 26] or for the Christmas season, and how quickly we could get things delivered in order to recognize that revenue."
An ongoing evolution
Although the number of queries was once the problem, the company didn't want to limit access to the new system. "We're actually duplicating our operational data into ROSA — Replicated Operational Storage Area. There's no way we can shut all those down," Hannah says. "But at the same time we wanted to alleviate the issues we were having on the operational system. We use IBM's Infopath to duplicate the data in an operational storage area and then move that into the data warehouse. That's how we got around the large amount of queries that we were having."
Overall, the system gave The Brick numerous advantages in terms of analytics — one of the most important being its ability to answer questions quickly and build a foundational data warehouse. "It's definitely made us a more centralized and orderly operation and given us some governance around information," Hannah says. "It's also allowed us to evangelize the fact that information is an asset and should be treated like any important asset."
The company experienced a $10 million return on investment in the first three months, accelerated revenue recognition by 25 percent and increased overall revenue recognition by 3 percent.
Although the Kalido system has accomplished its goals for The Brick, evolution is ongoing. "We keep adding to it one priority at a time," Hannah says. "We have a steering committee that includes most of our senior executives and our CEO. This group identifies ... the information we'd like to have in the data warehouse."
The other important piece of the Kalido solution for The Brick has been its master data management (MDM) component. "Rather than have a separate MDM strategy and technology, we are looking at ways to use Kalido so we can have a single view of the customer," Hannah says.

Well, "installing" a driver like it's done under Windows with
a "setup.exe" is seldomly needed and done under Linux, as most
drivers sooner or later find their way into the main kernel
This means: After installing one of the popular distributions
(Debian, Ubuntu, SuSE, RedHat, etc.) you already got 99% of all
avaliable drivers for Linux installed. The odds are high, that
among them is also a driver for your USB<->RS232 convertor.
Why not give it a try: Plug it into your box, running Linux and
look if it appears as a device (check with dmesg and/or
in /var/log/messages). Normally USB<->RS232 appear
as /dev/ttyUSB...

Any device can be used with Linux, if there's a driver. If
there's not a driver yet, you can start developing one. The
biggest obstacle however is, getting the required information
from the hardware manufator. Then you've to reverse engineer the
device. However if the manufactor gives you all the information
you need and want, writing a driver is quite easy.

Vessel Restaurant inside Kona Kai Resort
The Kona Kai Resort in San Diego recently underwent more than $20 million of renovations. Last month, Mr. K and I were invited to check out the revamped Vessel Restaurant for a 6-course dinner tasting event.
Tomato & Burrata
I really love burrata cheese. The burrata served during dinner was creamy and fresh. It was paired with a colorful variety of tomatoes. The drizzle of balsamic brought the dish together nicely.
"Loup De Mer" Crudo
The raw fish looked so beautiful with the smattering of edible purple flowers. The fish was seasoned simply with some lime and salt.
Shrimp Ajillo
The shrimp were very plump and prepared in a garlic sauce, but this dish was missing a little something for me. I think adding a bit of spice would have helped.
Mole Marinated Pork Loin
One of my favorites of the night. The pork was tender, with a light pink center. The mole sauce paired perfectly. The room went silent when we dug into this course.
Surf & Turf
I always enjoy surf and turf and enjoyed this dish almost as much as the pork loin. Large scallops were paired with braised short ribs.
Whipped Cheesecake with Warm Berry Cobbler
I don't normally like eating cheesecake because it's so rich, which is why this whipped version was so perfect. It was light, not too sweet. I loved the coconut crumble.
We had a good meal here. The wines paired well with the dishes as well. I'm definitely curious to come back at another time for a normal, non-media meal.
Disclosure: As discussed above, we were invited for a media tasting dinner and our food was complimentary. I was not further compensated for this review and my opinions are all my own.

It certainly looks delicious and make me very hungry. But is it safe to eat non-fully cooked pork? To me chicken and pork has to be
fully cooked. Even a lot of the upscale restaurants serve pink pork, I still have doubt eating them pink.
Wow, very ritzy! Our wedding reception was supposed to be at the Kona Kai way back when but they were remodeling (which they didn't tell us when we first booked it) and we were forced to find another site (grrr). My first "formal" ball with Bert (back in high school) was at the Kona Kai. It would be nice to go there again to see all the changes!
All of your food looked so good especially the surf and turf. I'm surprised that the shrimp wasn't seasoned. Normally that dish has smoked paprika.
okay,i just saw the menu photo and it does have smoked paprika. i guess they didn't put enough for you to notice it.
Hi Kirbie – it's me again. I'm not sure what the Kona Kai looks like now, but back in the mid 80′s it was very Polynesian/Tiki-like.

Humberside Fire and Rescue Service is reminding residents of the importance of keeping matches and lighters out of children's reach after attending a house fire in Driffield on Saturday 18 January.
The emergency call was received at 10.28am and two engines from Driffield Fire Station arrived at the property by 10.36am.
Despite the fire having been extinguished prior to their arrival, a fire investigation officer assessed the scene and established that a lighter had been the cause of the fire in the children's bedroom. Fire Investigation Officer Gary Chew said: "Thankfully no one was seriously injured as a result of this incident.
"Fortunately, the residents had a working smoke alarm, which alerted them to the danger, otherwise the outcome could have been a lot worse".
Gary went on to mention another common increased risk having established the cause of the fire: "Bedrooms can often be a fire hazard as wooden furniture, beds, cushions, soft toys, games and clothes are usually in a quite confined space, which, if ignited, could spread very quickly.
"We would urge parents to be aware of this potential fire risk and certainly to keep matches and lighters well out of children's reach".

the entire stock market is setting up a short squeeze
watch how impressive this one is, since this will be the first sizable worth noting squeeze since the 2003 to 2007 bull market
this is gonna be cool!!!
dat berry berry funnie dude
yup, it's a massive short squeeze and it is similar to the great depression chart -- and i previously said it's gonna be a memorable short squeeze
ok, a quick update -- we are at the long ago predicted and expected 838 area of the S&P 500 LEVEL, and it seems the short squeeze is just about over, but there is more to go -- let the index rally some more and bump up S&P 500 LEVEL for the SHORT ENTRY to a higher # and wait til it shows signs of getting tired, and it will show you the level # to enter and then let the market enter into a correction phase -- the trading has been out of this world fantastic -- but there is no doubt this is unsubstantiated buying and someone is going to get caught holding the bag and it's not gonna be me -- i still contend that the DOW will fall below 6,000 sometimes before the end of the year -- Don't Get Caught!!
Buck just yell when this Short Squeeze is comming to a end.
ya think its over now? or will 750 on the S&P 500 LEVEL explain it more clearly?
nothing has changed, watch for 805 and 838 with some sticking pasta at 818 but that 818 is not as significant as 805 or 838
when the short squeeze is over, look elsewhere to short the market cuz BBT has not rallied along with the index -- i am going to be playing SKF, but i am not touching it until i give the all clear to short sign
Thats it bucket hole, run like you did last saturday, and go help some other rock dwellers. Btw I can find you wherever you go and will have more fun. And to think the Marine Corp gives their lives for punks like you
I don't know this time fun. With a 6-1 leverage to buy the assets, it will be difficult not to sell. Just think, you could sell your not so bad assets to your friendly bx or pimco and other partners for a better return than the actual asset would of.
jams, should i gloat?
MESSAGE THREAD <<Massive SHORT SQUEEZE 5-Mar-09 01:16 am
the entire stock market is setting up a short squeeze

LOOKS LIKE I WAS RIGHT -- anyone wishing to tell me what a great job i did, i will be waiting in the lobby with an indelible pen to sign your wall street journal
worked like a charm, made great money off the SHORT ENTRY at S&P 500 LEVEL 803 for the past 2 days, and then closed out that short and you naturally enter a 25% LONG POSITION that i spoke of recently, and if it breaks over 805, then it's a break-out to the upside (and it did today) and you can close out that long at either 818 or 838, but 838 is a huge reversal point if we get there -- today was a great day, lots of money made on this one if you knew how to trade
since BBT has not gone up with the index, it is time to retire the hopes of getting short BBT in the mid-upper 20's, so blow off the BBT Short and move onto something else -- do not return to play BBT SHORT since i have found others that will outperform the BBT short
moldy, i want to thank you for all your money and now i have to move on and you can go F-Off cuz -- you are one load your mom should have swallowed
is that all you got?
Us? Show up hole and we'll see some drama, mebbee bring a whole roll Youll need it
ok drama queenie, you are gonna need some new material, you are starting to bore us
obviously you arent well traveled, if you want gay bar info see fweeqie

text: I have a Samsung 40" 6000-series HDTV. 120Hz, LED-LCD. No problems so far. Two words of advice: 1. Skip the "smart TV" stuff unless you don't plan to hook anything up to it. I have Samsung's SmartHub in my BluRay player. It sucks compared to my Roku. And I can replace the Roku any time. I expect the TV to last a while. 2. Don't buy too big of a TV. I debated about the 46" and 50", especially since the 50" wasn't much more than the 40". But unless you want your living room to feel like "this is the church of the one-eyed brain sucker", you probably don't want a huge TV. And on the 120Hz thing... At about 24 frames per second (24 hz), the human brain blends the frames together... that is, you can't perceive much beyond 24Hz. That's commonly rounded up to 30Hz because the brain can lose the illusion if you don't view straight-on. 60Hz was handy for interlaced video. That way the entire frame is refreshed 30 frames per second. Anything about 60Hz is gimmicky, emulated or otherwise. -Eric -=--=---=----=----=---=--=-=--=---=----=---=--=-=- Eric B.
