New game: Super Bowl ads
If you watched any of the Super Bowl or pregame programming, you saw a lot of advertising. And you probably had some mixed reactions to some of the ads. Which ones appealed to you, and why? You need to think about this in relationship to your marketing and advertising dollars. Who are you trying to appeal to, and what message are you trying to convey?
The top 10 ads were:
Budweiser, Puppy Love – with no words, just music;
Doritos, Cowboy Kid;
Budweiser, Hero's Welcome;
Doritos, Time Machine;
Radio Shack, Phone Call;
Hyundai, Sixth Sense;
General Mills Cheerios, Gracie;
Microsoft, Technology;
Coca-Cola, Going All the Way;
and Pepsi, Soundcheck.
The bottom five were Dreamworks, GoDaddy, Sprint, Subway and Bud Light.
You may not have thousands of dollars to spend on video ads, but you can learn about how to communicate a message, and think about what will appeal to your customers. Dust off your marketing plan and see what you can do to update your message and how you communicate with your customers.

There are ongoing discussions at both the national and state levels about the minimum wage. Business owners know the cost to train employees and retain good employees. A recent newspaper column quoted a Harvard Business Review article, "Why 'Good Jobs' Are Good for Retailers."
"Services requiring a live human being are best delivered by well-training, well-paid and empowered workers. In a study of one large retailer, every $1 increase in payroll delivered up to $28 more in sales."

The Planetarium
By dannycoward on Sep 10, 2008
Each morning I check the news wires, blogs and get the podcasts downloading to try to stay on top of what's going on in the world of Java for client devices from smartcards to desktops and everything inbetween.
What I really need is one blog that pulls it all together each day.
So I made one. Its called The Planetarium.

Leggee Elementary's math and science program received a boost this week, after the ExxonMobil Educational Alliance program awarded the District 158 school a $500 grant.
The grant was one of 2,400 available to schools from across the country that are served by Exxon or Mobil stations. James Drendel, owner of the Drendel's Corner Mobil, 13280 Rte. 47, Huntley, worked with school officials to secure the grant.
Drendel had to meet stringent eligibility criteria before applying for the grant, including having to commit to provide a superior buying experience for customers. Drendel presented the $500 grant to Legee Principal Scott Iddings earlier this week.
The Exxon Mobil Educational Alliance program was created to motivate Exxon and Mobil retailers to invest into the education systems of their communities.

HOA tax deadline approaching
If you own a home in a planned community or development, there is a good chance you are a member of a homeowners' association (HOA). One perplexing aspect of HOA management is the tax reporting requirements of the IRS.
I have discussed this topic several times in the past. Still, it continues to generate more calls and web visits than any other topic. Some common questions our office receives are "Must our HOA file a tax return?" "What return must it file?" and "What happens if we haven't filed for a number of years?" Today, I'll revisit some of these basic questions and, hopefully, clarify some of the confusion associated with taxes and your HOA's reporting requirements.
HOAs Are Corporations
For federal tax purposes, homeowners associations are treated as corporations with an un-extended tax return due date of March 15 for a calendar year entity. This corporate treatment is true even if an HOA was created as an association or a nonprofit corporation with its respective state. The only exception is the rare instance in which the HOA has filed for recognition and been accepted as a nonprofit by the IRS. Such recognition is expensive, relatively difficult to obtain, and most often requested by filing form 1024 with the IRS and utilizing tax code section 501(c)(4).
of Form 1120
Corporations are generally required to file Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return, annually. Filing form 1120 has several distinct disadvantages for an HOA. First, Form 1120 is fairly complex and requires a level of bookkeeping sophistication many HOAs lack. A second disadvantage of filing Form 1120 is that all of the HOA's "income" is generally taxable.
Basically, this means that any funds collected and not spent (for example, funds set aside for road maintenance or replacement) during the year may be subject to corporate income tax. A third disadvantage of Form 1120 for an HOA is that it may subject the HOA to making estimated tax payments, another burden for the often overburdened volunteer treasurer.
Advantages of Form 1120-H
The tax code gives many HOAs the ability to avoid Form 1120 by making a special election. Section 528 allows Homeowner Associations that meet certain requirements to bypass Form 1120 by filing Form 1120-H, an income tax form specifically designed for Homeowner Associations. Form 1120-H is a one-page form that is much easier to complete than the many-page, multiple schedule Form 1120. Although most HOA's qualify, each must meet certain requirements to utilize this election. To file Form 1120-H, at least 60 percent of the HOA's annual revenue must be "exempt-function income." Exempt-function income includes membership dues, assessments, fees and interest on those fees. Also, 90 percent of the HOA's expenditures must be for management, maintenance, acquisition and construction of association property.
If the HOA qualifies to file Form 1120-H, only its "non-exempt" income is taxable. Non-exempt income includes interest and dividends, rental income from property owned by the association and laundry/vending machine income. The HOA is allowed to deduct expenses directly related to the generation of non-exempt income, but must have written records to prove the deductions. Form 1120-H allows for a $100 deduction from non-exempt income to arrive at taxable income. The HOA's taxable income is then subject to a flat tax rate of 30 percent (32 percent for time share associations).
Filing Form 1120-H is an election that must be made each year. The election is made by filing Form 1120-H by its due date (the 15th day of the third month after the end of the HOA's tax year – a six-month extension to file can be obtained by filing Form 7004). Once made, the election cannot be revoked without IRS consent.
If Form 1120-H is not filed within 12 months of its due date (including extensions), the HOA may lose the opportunity to file the form 1120-H for that tax year. The HOA must then file the longer and more complex Form 1120. The HOA may also be required to pay penalties for late filing and late payment of any tax due.

Ten months after Keno was installed in the bar at VFW Cherryland Post 2780 in April, 2010, an audit discovered that $26,000 in gambling revenue was missing.
The person who conducted that audit, Richard Thibeau, was then just a rank-and-file member, but he had an accounting degree and almost two decades of criminal investigation experience in the Army and he was recruited to take a look.
Since then, Thibeau has been elected post commander, and he said he believes a former quarter master at the post is responsible for the missing $26,000 from Keno.
The case, though, is complicated, largely because of poor bookkeeping practices used until the missing funds were discovered and the number of people who had access to an office where money was stashed in a safe that was often kept unlocked.
Thibeau brought the findings of his audit to Grand Traverse County Sheriff's detectives in 2011, who launched their own investigation. They sent a police report that named as a suspect the former quarter master, Douglas Jordan, to the prosecutor's office.
Jordan denies embezzling any money and said he believes someone else at the post was responsible. Jordan also passed a lie detector test administered by the Michigan State Police.
Detectives used search warrants to get personal bank account records for Jordan and they found nothing suspicious, according to a police report. They also served a search warrant to get player's club card information from the Grand Traverse Band casinos and they found that Jordan's player's club account had been inactive since 2009.
Nonetheless, police brought the case to prosecutors for consideration two times. In October, 2011, Alan Schneider, then the county prosecutor, declined to prosecute.
This January, Robert Cooney, newly elected prosecutor, said the sheriff's department brought the case to his office to have another look.
Cooney said he would typically let any decisions made by Schneider's administration stand unless new evidence had come to light, which had not happened in this case.
Nonetheless, due to the significance of the allegations, he said he agreed to have an assistant prosecutor review the case.
"It is a significant crime. It's someone stealing from a charitable organization," Cooney said.
However, while Cooney wouldn't say he believes no crime was committed, he does believe that there is not enough evidence to bring a case to court.
Thibeau is frustrated that prosecutors would not take the case, especially this January, when he personally talked to a young prosecutor who was reviewing the case.
"He said there's insufficient evidence to guarantee a conviction," Thibeau said. "And my response was, 'You're not there to guarantee a conviction.'" The controversy at the VFW Post began after Jordan, who had been quarter master since 2005, reported confusing and seemingly inaccurate financial reports to members at meetings in June and July of 2010. The amount of money in the Keno balance he reported fluctuated wildly, Thibeau said.
Due to his investigative and financial background, Thibeau volunteered to conduct an audit of the Keno machine and other members voted to let him proceed.
One of the first things Thibeau learned as he dug into records was that Jordan inexplicably destroyed earnings reports from the Keno machine after he took deposits to the bank.
Jordan told police he destroyed the records because he didn't think he would need them again.
Thibeau figured out how to get the Keno machine to produce weekly sales reports going back to when the machine was installed. Thibeau also got the bank records to find out what Jordan had deposited.
When Thibeau tallied what was deposited and compared that to the numbers from the Keno machine, he found that beginning on April 29, 2010 through Nov. 24, 2010, the amount missing from Keno deposits was $26,268.
The first week, $406 was missing from the deposit. The next week, $733. Some weeks, as little as $22 or $13 was missing. In one deposit, there was an overage of $162. In another, $6,974 was missing.
Jordan denies taking the money but he agreed that his bookkeeping practices were sloppy. And he said he believes money was embezzled, just not by him.
Jordan said one problem was that he didn't regularly make deposits at the bank.
"We had never really worked with (Keno machines) before, so they weren't deposited each week. Sometimes it was deposited every month," Jordan said.
Jordan told police that a lot of people, including bar staff, had access to an office where receipts were often kept in an unlocked safe.
One bartender told the detective: "Overall, there was always a lot of money around the bar area and anybody could have taken it."
Jordan said shortly before he was relieved of quarter master duties amid the investigation, he found out money was missing. He started making weekly deposits and he tightened the books.
"I knew I didn't take it, so I instituted a weekly accounting," Jordan said. "What I wasn't doing, like I say, I did not know better because I never worked with it before."
Jordan said Thibeau's allegations are groundless.
"Since they couldn't get anything on me legally, now they're just going after my reputation, is what it comes down to," Jordan said.
Jordan, though, agrees that Keno money went missing while he was in charge of it, just less than what Thibeau alleges.
"I will say there was money missing -- not the amount that they were saying, but there was money missing," Jordan said.
He said Thibeau's audit found more money missing than what was actually gone because at the time the post only used one bank account. By state rules there should have been a separate account for Keno. He believes that Thibeau's analysis missed some Keno money that was mixed together with general fund money.
Jordan also said he believes he knows who took the money.
He said he wouldn't say who in an interview, but he named a former bar employee to police, someone who he said witnesses saw playing Keno without paying. He also named another person, but the alleged embezzlement continued even after that person left the VFW staff.
Nonetheless, Thibeau, who was elected post commander in April, 2012, is not convinced of Jordan's innocence.
He said someone playing Keno without paying would not explain the missing money.
He said he does not believe bar staff could have stolen the money, because if they had, Jordan should have noticed the discrepancy when he made the deposits.
Thibeau believes the case is simple and Jordan has managed to make it confusing.
"The machine tells you how much there should have been put into the bank; the bank account tells you how much was put into the bank," Thibeau said. "The difference is what was stolen."
This is a case where even the origin of the Keno machine is in dispute.
Jordan told the detective investigating the case that the Keno machine was brought in after a vote by the membership and that he was "saddled with it," according to the police report.
That was contradicted by what Paul Smith, the then-acting quarter master, later told a detective.
"Doug Jordan and (assistant quarter master) John LeBrun were the two that wanted the Keno machine in the VFW," the detective wrote of his conversation with Smith. "He stated that the two of them did this on their own."
In fact, Smith told the officer that the membership had not even voted to install the machine.
Lebrun denied that -- he said the membership voted to install the Keno machine.

Don't put all your eggs in one waterproof basket
by John Chamberlin, MBA
"A building is only as strong as its foundation," is a common idiom uttered across the construction industry. Time can be spent applying this to anything, in the metaphorical sense, but in the construction business it can be taken literally. The foundation is literally the building block on which the rest of a building will rely for long-term function and performance.

Tomorrows job fair celebrating its 20th anniversary
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Feb 5/13
Tomorrow, Feb. 6, Laurier students and alumni can connect with employers at the annual Partnerships for Employment (P4E) job fair. About 170 organizations will be recruiting for a variety of positions, including full-time, part-time, co-op and summer work opportunities.
The best thing about going to the job fair is that its a one-stop shop for jobs all the key people you need to contact are in one room, said Dan Allison (BA 09). Allison found his current job, a manager of employment relations for CGA, through the connections he built at the P4E job fair.
The opportunity to build relationships with employers and with Lauriers Career Centre is invaluable in the long run.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the P4E fairs, tomorrows job fair will also feature three LinkedIn sessions delivered by Steve Watt, marketing manager for LinkedIn. Attendees will also have a chance to win one of four iPad minis.
A collaborative effort among the Career Centres at the University of Guelph, University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and Conestoga College, Partnerships for Employment was created in 1994 to serve students, alumni and employers through annual career and job fairs. The partnership among the four institutions fosters a unique environment for sharing information and creating a large attendance of about 4,000 students, which is an appealing environment for employers because they can fulfill their recruitment needs in one day.
The 2013 P4E Job Fair is tomorrow, Feb. 6 at RIM Park in Waterloo. Students and alumni from a degree/diploma program at Conestoga College, University of Guelph, University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University will be admitted free of charge with their student ID.
There are free bus rides available every ½ hour to and from Lauriers Waterloo campus, and a bus departs Lauriers Brantford campus at 9 a.m. and departs from RIM Park at 1 p.m. For more information or to view the bus schedule, visit www.partners4employment.ca or visit the Career Centre.

Through the personal relationship the Father had with His Son, He established Christ as the treasury of His love. Personally knowing the depths of this relationship, Jesus explained and taught His disciples, as a fellowship and individually, of the need for this type of relationship. He prayed for them to have the kind of relationship He and His Father had, with Himself and with each other.
Jesus knew God's eternal will and lived it before His disciples. As the disciples entered into a true relationship with Him, He taught them that the world would see it and believe that God had sent Him. The life of today's local church is as vital to world redemption and true evangelism as it was then. Evangelism is a natural product of that relationship.
To be effective in life and evangelism, the church must practice what Christ commanded. Those living in an obedient love relationship with Him will naturally share the gospel with conviction and Holy Spirit power.
Zephaniah 3:17 says, "The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." God's silence is His full, complete, and absolute love at rest, in Christ. His love dwells in the soul of Christ and is fixed there forever. He is fully satisfied with this love and expresses His joy and delight with the inward affection of the heart and the external demonstration of singing and praise.
Jesus is the mediator by which God conveys His love to man and through which the believer and the church have access to the Father. God wills His love to His Son and the people of His Son's kingdom, that He may rest in them, with singing.
Choate Baptist Church welcomes you to join them for Sunday School at 9:45 a.m., Sunday Morning Worship at 11 a.m., and Sunday Evening Worship at 7 p.m. They also meet for prayer on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. Brother Odom's message can be heard on KAML 990 AM and KCAF 92.1 FM each Sunday morning at 8:30, and again on 92.1 FM every Wednesday evening at 7:30.

Day 3 Keystone
Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay, but the last two days of the conference were quite hectic! Thursday's lectures focused around hematopoietic cell differentiation, development, and function, including talks by big wigs such as Irv Weissman! As on tuesday, there was a workshop in the afternoon, although I am not sure how many of us made it to this workshop (we were all pretty tired from our eventful day of skiing on wednesday). As always, the late afternoon talks led to dinner and finally to my poster presentation as well as Carson Wills '14 poster presentation. We were both pretty nervous, but ended up meeting heaps of wonderful PhD students, post-docs, etc. who were quite impressed to see undergraduates at such a conference and gave many helpful tips on actual experimentation (i.e. "I can never this stain to work..any suggestions?"), interpretation of data (i.e. "I know why you think this, but actually our lab found that this marker means ___"), as well as ideas for future experiments! Overall, despite being pretty nervous, the poster presentation portion of the meeting was probably most helpful for me in allowing me to further discuss the research I am currently doing with people outside of the Punterson realm, imbuing my brain with fresh ideas and perspectives. We left quite early on friday and were only able to catch a few talks in the morning about leukomogensis. The rest of friday was spent on a shuttle bus back to Denver, and on a plane from Denver to Philadelphia.
Overall, I would have to say that I quite enjoyed myself at Keystone. Although a bit overwhelming at first (yes, seeing and hearing some of the HSC celebrity researchers whose papers you read and only dream about meeting does make you feel starstruck. Probably more starstruck than seeing some other celebrities like Oprah or George Clooney. Well, maybe not George…), I would have to say that atleast for me this conference opened my eyes to the diversity and expansiveness of HSC research. Although much of Keystone is primarily focused on cellular and molecular biology, there were strong undertones of clinical application – many of the talks in fact included data from phase I or II clinical trials of new potential cancer therapies – which, by my lights, indicates a beautiful intertwining of medicine and science at it's finest.
Hopefully you have enjoyed reading this blog as much as I have enjoyed attending and blogging about Keystone!

Duane's preview of Shatner's show was spot on -- his missteps, foibles and schlocky stage persona are a large part of his appeal. Yet Reviewer Jr. doesn't bother to read your article or anything more than the Shatner Cliff Notes bullet points, then essentially is put off by an octogenarian who isn't razor sharp.
Same doof who began his review of an incredible Robert Plant show last year by noting (incorrectly no less) that Plant was "doughy from age." Trust me Jon, nobody but you thought Plant looked bad, and anybody who forks $75 for a couple hours with Shatner has been smitten by his smarm long before you were born. Show some respect by doing at least some basic legwork before your reviews of aging performers, and then go visit your grandma. Then again, she probably can't stand you either, so just send a card.

An NYC Tragedy
I was shocked to hear of the plane crash in Manhattan today, especially considering we were so recently recounting our 9/11 remembrances here on mlb blogs. I couldn't help but think of Thurman Munson, who was a hero of mine when I was a kid playing catcher on my softball team. My sympathy goes out to Cory's family and the Yankee family. I can't put it better than Derek Jeter did in this MLB.com story:
Yankees captain Derek Jeter added in statement: "I am shocked by this
devastating news. Spending the last few months as Cory's teammate, I
came to know him as a great man. While he was known as a baseball
player, he was, more importantly, a husband and father and, at a time
like this, I want to share my deepest sympathies with his wife Melanie,
his son Christopher and all those who know and loved him."
1 Comment
I hope this can be read by all Yankee fans…I am a Mets fan (have been all my life) but even though I wear the "blue & orange" I wanted to let all of the Yankees and the Yankee faithful know I stand with you at this time…even if Cory never played for the Mets I would still feel sad for Cory's family, his teammates and you the Yankee fans. It doesn't matter that he played in the Bronx and my team is in Flushing…Cory was a member of the New York Baseball family…I know I can speak for all Mets fans…we stand with you in your time of mourning and our hearts go out to his family, the Yankee team and you…their fans…Godspeed Cory…your on the mound of the BEST team in Heaven.

Cavalcade of Stars
City leaders, business people and the Tournament of Roses lead the Pasadena Way
By André Coleman 10/23/2013
The Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game
The first Rose Parade was held in 1890 by the Valley Hunt Club to highlight the mild winter weather in Southern California. Today, thousands of people travel to Pasadena each year to sleep on the street and line Colorado Boulevard to watch the festivities live. The Rose Bowl Game — known as the granddaddy of all college football games — was originally held at Caltech until 1923, when the game was moved to the Rose Bowl.

After railroad magnate Henry Huntington moved to Los Angeles from San Francisco in 1913, he began purchasing large chunks of land, including the 500-acre San Marino Ranch. Guided by his wife Arabella's love of literature and art, Huntington amassed the country's greatest collection of 18th-century British portraits. In accordance with his will, the collection was opened to the public after Huntington's death in 1928. Today, Huntington's former residence displays 18th- and 19th-century French and English artworks, while three other art galleries feature permanent and changing exhibitions. The library's collection of rare books and manuscripts is an important source of scholarly research, while the botanic gardens and conservatory are a source of enjoyment and beauty.

Posted on 06/05/2014 by Phillip Island Nature Parks
Key stakeholder information sessions to provide input into the development of Phillip Island Nature Parks' South and North Coast Key Area Plan were completed last week, including an open community session held on Saturday.
The Key Area Plan includes the Nature Parks' beaches along the south coast of Phillip Island from Woolamai to Summerland Peninsula, and in the north from Ventnor to Summerland Peninsula.
The extensive initial consultation process with a wide range of key stakeholders follows on from the recently completed Churchill Island Key Area Plan.
At each session participants were given an overview of the project area and objectives. They were also asked to provide initial input into topics they would like considered in the development of the final draft of the Key Area Plan, to be presented to the community at an open session on 8 October.
"The South and North Coast Key Area Plan will be a new way of seeing the coast and its role as a conservation, ecotourism and recreation destination," said Matthew Jackson, Phillip Island Nature Parks' Chief Executive Officer.
"This is not a master plan, but a high level strategic planning framework that will make recommendations for future studies as required."
"It is important to note that the scope of this Plan does not include private land, management of the South Coast Road on the Summerland Peninsula or the issue of dogs on beaches," Mr Jackson said.
Mary Whelan, Chairperson of the Southern Communities Planning Group, attended one of the key stakeholder sessions and said: "I think it is a terrific initiative by the Nature Parks. The session was informative as the consultants obviously have a lot of experience combining the preservation of the environment and enhancing people's experiences of nature."
Jan Fleming, community member from Surf Beach, was at Saturday's open community session and said: "The session was clear and informative. The key issues are the preservation of the beaches and surrounds and, of course, the protection of the indigenous flora and fauna."

We got Trinity from the SPCA several years ago. She has always been close to my husband and I but when we had our daughter she became our watchdog too! She keeps a vigil outside of her door and follows her around like a "puppy". We wonder sometimes if she realizes she is a cat. She loves to sit and watch the birds. She does her stuttering meow and gets all of us laughing. Crows are her arch enemy and always get her very excited! My daughter snaps her fingers and Trinity is there in a second. It's very cute when they cuddle together on the floor. If Phoebe is playing nearby Trinity will wrap around her back and arms until she gets noticed. Trinity also plays hide and seek. My daughter and I run and hide then call Trinity to us. She stalks us slowly and then leaps out to find us. I swear she is a dog trapped inside a cat's body. But we love her just the same!

MCG+08-11-002 is an odd-looking galaxy with a spectacular dark band of absorbing dust in front of the galaxy's center, making it resemble a "Black Eye". Scientists believe that it is the remnant of an earlier collision of two separate galaxies. This peculiar galaxy is at the center of a rich field of foreground stars, close to the plane of our own Milky Way galaxy. MCG+08-11-002 is about 250 million light-years away in the constellation of Auriga, the Charioteer.

Milwaukee police officer shoots, wounds armed man
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A Milwaukee police officer has shot and wounded a 43-year-old suspect after a domestic violence call.
Officers were sent Thursday on a report of shots fired. Police say two sergeants found the man armed with a firearm inside a home threatening to kill his girlfriend, children and other family members.
Police were trying to negotiate with the suspect when he shot and wounded his 44-year-old girlfriend. One of the sergeants then shot and wounded the suspect.
The girlfriend and a 65-year-old member of the suspect's family, who suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, were taken to a hospital. The suspect suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital.
The sergeant who shot the suspect is an 18-year police veteran. He will be placed on standard administrative duty during an investigation.

The Truth About the Mackinac Center
The shadowy Mackinac Center for Public Policy is the largest right-wing, state-level policy think-tank in the nation.
One of its primary goals is to dismantle public education in Michigan, replacing traditional public schools with profit-making institutions. In a leaked email sent to state Rep. Tom McMillin, R-Rochester Hills, the Mackinac Center's senior legislative analyst admitted, "Our goal is outlaw government collective bargaining in Michigan, which is practical terms means no more MEA."
MEA researcher Greg Steimel has compiled a report that lifts the veil of secrecy shrouding the Mackinac Center, exposing its hidden extremist agenda.

Would you adopt a child who is HIV-positive?
My husband and I discuss adoption frequently. The beauty and courage involved is alluring. It's a dream we both share. But we've never considered this:
Would we be willing to adopt a child who is HIV-positive?
My gut reaction is,
"Of course! I wouldn't even give it a second thought!"
But I've had the privilege of spending a week with a group of Ugandan children, all of whom were HIV-positive. I would have happily taken home one of those precious children.
But then, the follow-up questions arise.
- What ramifications, both financially and medically, would we have to consider?
- How might it affect any other children we may have?
- Are we prepared to deal with the social stigma, fear and ignorance surrounding HIV, possibly for many years to come?
We never reached a decision, mostly because it was a question that arose from a book I had finished reading rather than a desire to adopt a child here and now.
But it was good to discuss and prayerfully consider, because arguably an orphan who is HIV-positive has a more recognizable need for the love of a family and the hope of Jesus Christ.
So, what do you think? Would you be willing to adopt a child who is HIV-positive?

The new Volvo FMX
Volvo FMX Classic
The new Volvo FM
Volvo FM Classic
Until now air suspension has mainly been a comfort for drivers of on-road vehicles, due to its poor ground clearance. But then some engineers at Volvo Trucks decided to turn their new air suspension upside down – combining the ground clearance of leaf suspension with the comfort and efficiency of air suspension.
In a construction environment there is little tolerance for spring members and air bellows that hang below the axle. They simply interfere with precious ground clearance. "So we've placed these things on top of the drive axle where they are less vulnerable," says product planner Bosse Franzon. "This results in at least 300 millimetres of ground clearance and the suspension is no longer in the line of fire for rocks and stones."
Improved stabilisers also play an important role in the new air suspension. Turned upwards and located centrally between axles, these now convey the forces of the road and the trailer into the stiffest part of the frame to improve roll stability.
"The air suspension has an intelligent control system that makes sure the load distribution between the axles is optimised for maximum tipping stability," adds product manager, Peter Frleta. "Anyone who thinks all air suspended tippers are swampy is in for a surprise."
No longer in the line of fire for rocks and stones
Having experienced the washboard effect when driving on pitted quarry roads, Peter Frleta believes this is where air suspension is most justified: "The vibrations go from the chassis, to the cab and into the driver. It feels like you're getting shaken to pieces." He pauses for a moment. "It's no wonder the drivers who tested the new air suspension were happy to carry on testing – they didn't want to go back to the fatigue of driving a conventional truck again."
The truck is better off, too, as there is less vibration damage, which ultimately increases uptime. On top of this, a higher pace improves productivity. "We saw an increase of 5 to 10 km/h – that's just a consequence of the comfort,'' adds Peter Frleta.
The new suspension design leaves nothing behind the rear axle to interfere with tipping. One of the benefits of this is being able to tip directly into an asphalt paver. "You can have the tipping axle very close to the rear wheel for a very short overhang. It has so many benefits, but then it is the first purpose designed air suspension for construction," says Bosse Franzon.
The new air suspension is available with 4×2, 6×4 and 8×4 axle configurations. This includes the Tridem concept which is designed to handle a gross weight of 36 tonnes on the three-axle bogie and a further 10 tonnes on the front – making a total capacity of 46 tonnes. The air bellows, like all the other air suspension components, are high up out of the way.
The Volvo FMX with an extra high chassis for construction can be specified with rear air suspension in combination with either drum brakes or disc brakes. Together with the Tridem configurations, Bosse Franzon sees this as the key to fantastic manoeuvrability. "The fact that you can choose disc brakes means you can also have Volvo Dynamic Steering. And with the best suspension, the best brakes and the best steering, the truck takes on a completely new character."
Peter Frleta reminds him of I-Shift. "In that case I want mine with the best transmission, too."

While the New York Knicks feel they are moving closer to the level of the elite teams in the NBA, the Orlando Magic appear to be returning to that class after remaking their roster.
These teams will meet for the first time this season as the Magic look to extend their win streak to five games Thursday night.
New York (18-13) began a two-game Florida road trip with a 106-98 loss at Miami on Tuesday. The Knicks got off to a terrible start, trailing by as many as 19 points in the first quarter, before recovering to pull within three points in the final minutes against a Heat team which has won 15 of 16.
"Tonight was a measuring stick game for us and we feel we played well despite the first quarter," said forward Amare Stoudemire, who had 30 points.
This game should serve as another test to measure New York's improvement after three double-digit losses to Orlando (20-12) last season.
The Magic shot 53.9 percent in those games to sweep the season series from the Knicks for the first time since 2001-02. Dwight Howard averaged 22.7 points and 13.0 rebounds, and Orlando made 38 3-pointers.
The Knicks, of course, did not have Stoudemire last season while the Magic have a new look after adding Gilbert Arenas, Hedo Turkoglu and Jason Richardson in a pair of trades made Dec. 18.
Orlando lost its first two games with those players as part of a 1-8 stretch. The Magic have won four straight since, using a big finish for a 110-95 victory at Cleveland on Tuesday.
Howard was limited to 12 points and six rebounds. The All-Star center did not play in the fourth quarter as a smaller lineup played well and never came off the court, producing 35 points in the final period.
"I told (general manager Otis Smith) on the way in, it took me 32 games, but we finally found our fourth-quarter lineup," coach Stan Van Gundy said. "It was a great fourth quarter."
Arenas had his best game with Orlando with 22 points and 11 assists while Richardson added 20 points.
"We are veterans and we all mesh well," Richardson said. "We all have great personalities and nobody has a bad attitude. We all have the same goal, and that is winning games right now."
The Magic will likely stay away from a smaller lineup and try to make sure Howard is on the floor Thursday. Stoudemire went 11-1 in his career against Orlando with Phoenix and has posted four straight double-doubles versus the Magic, averaging 23.3 points and 12.0 rebounds.
This game matches the teams that have attempted the most 3-pointers -- 776 for Orlando and 765 for New York. The Magic are 11-4 when they make at least 10 3s while the Knicks are 13-2 in such games.
New York is 0-2 against Boston and 0-2 against Miami as it looks for a breakthrough victory against an Eastern Conference powerhouse.
"We can learn from this and we can build on this," coach Mike D'Antoni said after the loss to Miami. "Again, it is December, not April, so we will see what happens."
Thanks to PSD for the thread and still a fan
I can't wait till game time. Im at work waiting now good thread as usual sir.
I almost wish we played them before they added better pieces to their team, it gets no easier for the Bockers. Hopefully this upcoming schedule doesn't wear out our small rotation.
Howard and Stat will go to war, but I would probably start Moz at center so he can beat up Howard a bit. slap him up with a bit of krytonite and take him out the game before the Magic knows what hit them.
Gallo can handle Turkgolo
Chandler Brandon Bass or Ryan Anderson
And Fields will have his hands full Arenas
But Dwight can not get Amare in foul trouble our we will be in trouble!
Knicks 2012
Amar'e is more likely to get Dwight in foul trouble than the other way around
Lol hope Dwight doesn't read A'mare's quote about him being offensivley challeneged and use that as motivation to rape us in the paint tonight..
I'm weary bout this game tho cause of of all the newly acquired weapons they have.. We had better try our damn hardest to play d or outscore these dudes..
Very good team better then their record shows, and they are very hot as of right now..... after that big win on christmas day they have been on a nice 4 game win streak easily and that new lineup after that trade is looking real right.... Tonight is a good challenge for us... hopefully are interior D will work hard and Galo and Chandler are hot tonight.... STAT needs to stay out of foul trouble on Dwight and put up atleast 25 for the win... watch out for Bass hes very underated.... btw nice thread again jpz
Hopefully Gallo pays attention to Turkoglu and learns how be effective. They're the same height and have similar skill sets.
This is not about how good or not Turk is, it's about how well he uses all his weapons to score (post up, mid range, 3 pt, slashing, getting to the FT line)
Real Talk
Another 5 star game thread by jpz....if i can give u some green, i will fam
Stat has a history of outplayin Dwight. Both of them are all stars but alotta the reason why Amare is so much better on offense is because of his lateral quickness and agility. Hes sorta like a big guard, but still very strong....stronger then he looks. As high as D12 can jump hes not nearly as laterally quick or agile.
gettin ready 2 watch the game.
man I hate chuck hatin on NY but he was right going against what Kenny was saying about us on Orlando's level and theres only 2 teams, Boston and Miami, that have a chance at the title.
Did anyone hear the sh*t Chuck was just talking about the knicks?
Orange and blue, yesterday, today, and tomorrow...
Williams shot doesn't look good at all tonight, his rhythm seems off. He needs to stop shooting.
These refs are killing us... -_-
Orange and blue, yesterday, today, and tomorrow...

"Can you point me to a good reference for why women are no longer required to wear a head covering during Mass?"
Throughout history it has been common for women to wear head coverings. This is something that has precedent in St. Paul's epistles (see 1 Cor. 11:2-16).
It was mandated in the 1917 Code of Canon Law. Canon 1262 states:
1. It is desirable that, consistent with ancient discipline, women be separated from men...

Bouchard Père & Fils is one of Burgundy's most important houses, and the largest vineyard holder in the Côte d'Or with 130 hectares of vineyards. It's holdings include 12 hectares of grand cru vineyards, with significant plots in Corton and Corton-Charlemagne, Le Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet. It holds more than 70 hectares of premier cru vineyards, most of which are in the Côte de Beaune, including one of Beaune's most famous wines: Beaune Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus.
The company is owned by the Henriot group, which took over in 1995. Run from their impressive headquarters in Beaune, Bouchard has been making better and better wines in the past twenty years, and can be considered a benchmark producer of both red and white Burgundy.

This vineyard sits just above Bouchard's holding of Le Montrachet, and is one of the finest examples of Chardonnay. The house also has grand cru holdings in Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Bonne Mares in the Côte de Nuits.

This song has a few of the requests I made...thanks Tom!
I really appreciate the fan club and the presale opportunities. in the past they have worked pretty well with 'will call only," to keep the tixs in the hands of true fans. for this tour I am sure overall it went ok, however for the one show I am able to attend in Saratoga, I am very pissed to see there are 10 front row seats on the scalper market. this venue has a total or 34 front row seats-more than most but that many in scalper's hands! I am sorry to complain about this as I will be paying a scalper, much rather my money go directly to TPHB!

Definitely. We don't really have to sign every superstar available in 2010. See how our young guys (Will+****) develop and then see what pieces we need in 2011 for our championship puzzle.
Carmelo would look nice in a knicks jersey though...
So what if we do end up signing David Lee, can't get rid of Curry's contract, or Jefferies. We would only be able to sign one big player (LeBron, Wade, Bosh, STAT, Johnson, etc.) That's if they opt out. If they don't opt out, then they will be free agents in 2011.
But the good news is that we would be able to sign one more big name in 2011, when they come off the books!
Here are some players:
Tony Parker
Kobe Bryant
David West (Hornets)
Yao Ming
Al Horford
Paul Pierce (although he might be too old by then)
Dirk Nowitzki
Tayshaun Prince
Carmelo anthony
Brandon Roy (unless he signed a crazy extension)
Kevin Durant (unless he signed an extension not reported)
What do you think?
Definitely. We don't really have to sign every superstar available in 2010. See how our young guys (Will+****) develop and then see what pieces we need in 2011 for our championship puzzle.
Carmelo would look nice in a knicks jersey though...
bring Carmelo back to NY....he's real good and has steadily improved every year i think a better option would be to sign Wade or Johnson(if Wade is off the table by then) and wait till 2011 and sign Al Horford dude is a monster already and by 2011 he'll be a beast
or we could do Amare in 2010 and Melo in 2011
al though i prefer Wade in 2010 and Horford in 2011
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Yes! Bring melo to NY. that would be so sick.
D-LEE42FanLEE'S A BEAST!!!
Class of "09" ?
Anyone interested in bringing Rasheed Wallace to NY next year? He's a good post defender, can score in the post and he also likes the 3 ball. We could probably get him at a reasonable price and he fits a need of ours (inside defense/post scoring) and fits in great with Coach D's offensive gameplan (3's,3's,3's) Thaughts?
" It's a new era for the Knicks "
Yeah Melo would be off da chain. This is why I'm not stressed if 2010 does not deliver us 2 guys, cause 2011's class is pretty deep.
Imagine pairing up Melo with Tony Parker or something. The trick is for the Knicks to keep the pieces we need like ****, Chandler, and if they decide to sign Lee and then surround them with top 10 talent. Remember we still have draft picks. Maybe there is a future PG awaiting for us in the draft. If not, I say we get a Nash or Parker.
In that list we should look at Tony Parker, Brandon Roy, Carmelo, Horford, and David West....and btw Kobe isnt going anywhere.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
He flat out disrespected and spit on the Knicks not to mention disgracing the Garden floor.
If you're a true Knicks fan, you'd have a dire hate towards any player who's ever popped **** at MSG.
That's why there's a part of me that has a respect for Jeffries. After he had to have his jersey ripped to be restrained from tearing Melo's head off! That's the team spirit right there.
You cats r right about what happened that night @ MSG, but part of me is like man if this dude wants to ball here, let him light up da garden.

Reviews of this property
Great apartment! Cosy and spacious apartment with a nice bathroom.
The location is perfect with numerous cafe's, restaurants and shopping possibilities within walking distance. Metro station is 200 meters away.
We will definitely consider booking this apartment again.
PS For the best coffee in Berlin take a walk down Kastanienallee to "Il Syndiatico" on your left hand!
The location is unbeatable, and the apartment itself is very pleasant, with light and spacious rooms. Small piece of advise: bring ear plugs as there is quite a lot of noise from trams and nightlife. We had a children's scooter stolen from the downstairs hallway, so be careful with belongings. Otherwise an enjoyable stay.
Good location at the beginning of Kastanien Allee and only 2 stops by tram from Hackescher Markt. Furnishing very basic.
The appartment was not properly cleaned and maintained.
Upon arrival we found used paper handkerchiefs and other trash on the floor. More than half of the light bulbs did not work. In the living room there was no light at all. The double bed with a width of 1,40 m is very narrow for two adults. We requested two extra linens in order to use the two spare bed. This was not possible.
We reported the different problems upon arrival in detail to the representative of the owner. During our stay it was not possible to communicate with somebody who would be in charge. None of the problems was solved. Sorry, I forgot that on the first evening we found two light bulbs at the door of the appartment - one of which did not work. Altogether a frustrating experience.
A functional and nice apartment. But the best part is definitely the location in the heart of Prentzlauer Berg. Good communication with the company.
It is most likely that we will return to this or one of the other apartments from 103rooms!
We actually stayed in a different but similar property of the same host, so I can't review this one specifically. Our place was just a few paces away. The location is great, easy to find, with plenty of choice to eat/drink locally and very close public transport links to the rest of the Berlin. Communication with the host was good and the change in property was communicated and agreed well ahead of the trip.
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön und perfekt für eine Gruppe. Lage ist absolut überragend mit tollen Straßencafes und Restaurants. Colette war immer super erreichbar und hat alles optimal vorbereitet. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Kauai County officials say a 60-year-old man from Kalaheo was bitten by a shark at a surf break known as "Pakala's" near Pakala Village Wednesday.
It happened at around 1:20 p.m. when the man was surfing with two friends.
The man, identified by friends as "Lorrin," was transported to Kauai Veterans Memorial Hospital with a private vehicle from a resident in nearby . He sustained injuries to his left foot.
The man said he saw the shark biting his food and estimated the length of the shark to be 10-feet-long.
State Department of Land and Natural Resources Conservation Enforcement posted shark warning signs on an approximate half-mile stretch of the at the beach.
Per standard protocol the signs will remain up until noon Thursday. Officers were on the beach Wednesday afternoon to warn the public. Thursday morning officers will return and assess the beach for any shark sighting. If nothing is seen, the signs will come down at noon.
This is the third reported shark incident on Kauai. A previous shark incident took place on Nov. 4 at Davidson's Beach in Kekaha. A surfer's board was bit, but there was no injury to him. Another incident took place on July 30.

Museum Gala Tags All the Bases
Posted In
It was a home run of a celebration as scores of fans jammed into the gala celebrating the opening of "Chasing Dreams: Baseball and Becoming Americans" at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Old City.
The display — multimedia in design and execution — sheds light on the impact such naturals as Sandy Kouffax and Hank Greenberg had on the game and society while battling stereotypes and roadblocks to success.
Communal leaders and everyday fans packed the gala, chaired by the city's No. 1 sports fan, Ed Rendell.
The exhibit runs through Oct. 26, coinciding with the end of the 2014 baseball season.

"Gidget" pioneered the summer beach flick and in many minds is synonymous with the genre.
Audiences fell in love with the spunky character played by Sandra Dee, who falls for surfer Moondoggie, played by James Darren. A young Cliff Robertson stars as The Kahuna.
The movie is often credited with bringing a surfing subculture to the mainstream. Gidget was followed by two sequels and launched a TV show starring Sally Field. It pioneered a long string of beach party and romance movies, including Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello romps "Beach Party," "Bikini Beach" and "Beach Blanket Bingo."
Ultimately, Gidget helped pave the way for the likes of more modern girl-power beach movies, including the surfer-chick film "Blue Crush" (2002), which suffered from a trite plot but helped make a star of actress Kate Bosworth with spectacular surf scenes.
