Charlotte Recap
It was a strong night for Joe Gibbs Racing with all three teams earning a top-ten finish in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Bank of America 500 from Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Denny Hamlin would lead the way with a strong second-place finish, while Kyle Busch earned fifth and Joey Logano crossed the finish line in ninth.
Hamlin qualified the No. 11 FedEx Ground Toyota ninth and it was clear from the drop of the green flag to start the race that he had one of the fastest cars on the track. Hamlin immediately drove up into the top five and was inside the top three within the first 50 laps while battling the other two cars that make up the top three spots in the Chase standings. Hamlin would move into the lead for the first time on the night on lap 135 and he would lead the next 33 laps before settling into second on the next green flag run. A caution would come out just after a round of green flag pits stops and crew chief Darian Grubb would call for Hamlin to bring his No. 11 Camry back down pit road under caution for a short, fuel only stop in hopes of putting them in their fuel window to make it to the end on one final stop. Hamlin would restart 10th on lap 228 and was able to jump up into the eighth position on the restart and was into seventh with 85 laps to go and sixth with 75 laps remaining. Hamlin stretched his next fuel run until 54 laps to go in hopes of being able to make it to the finish should the race remain green to the end. He would race in seventh with 40 laps to go and was up to sixth with 30 laps remaining. Hamlin would continue his climb passing cars on the track, while others had to pull down pit road for a final splash of gas, all while saving enough fuel to get his No. 11 Camry to the finish. Although he closed the gap on leader Clint Bowyer late, Hamlin would ultimately settle for an impressive second-place finish that allowed him to reduce his deficit to current Chase leader Brad Keselowski to just 15 points.
Busch started the No. 18 M&Ms Toyota 8th and was able to move into the top five shortly after the drop of the green flag. Busch was able to remain in the top five for most of the night and at times proved to be the fastest car on the track. Busch restarted second on lap 228 and settled in behind race leader Brad Keselowski. Busch would continue to hold onto the second spot as the race reached the 300 lap mark, but the 18 team was on a slightly different fuel cycle than many of the other leaders and would have to pit one final time before the end. That would come with about 30 laps to go and once back on the track he would race his way back around the leader to get back on the lead lap and earn a fifth-place finish.
Logano qualified the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota 12th and battled handling conditions through the first third of the race. With each stop crew chief Jason Ratcliff would call for adjustments to help the No. 20 Camry turn better and indeed the car responded as Logano worked his way into the top 10 and would restart eighth on a lap 228 restart. Logano would run inside the top ten through the next fuel run, but the 20 team operated on a slightly different fuel cycle than the other leaders and would need one final stop to make it to the end. The Home Depot Toyota would come down pit road with about 20 laps to go, but still managed to finish strong over the final few laps to earn ninth-place.
Clint Bowyer captured the victory, with Hamlin second, Jimmie Johnson, Greg Biffle fourth, and Kyle Busch rounded out the top five. There were five cautions for a total of 23 laps with 20 lead changes among eight different drivers.
With The Chase at its midpoint, Hamlin is third in the current point standings, just eight points out of second-place Jimmie Johnson and 15 points behind leader Keselowski.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series will head to Kansas for the sixth of 10 races in The Chase for the Championship. Coverage of the race from Kansas will be broadcast live by ESPN starting at 2 PM ET (pre-race show starts at 1 PM ET).

The economics and efficiencies of the world's largest cloud and hosting service providers are an aspiration for some in enterprise IT — but a bludgeon for others. If you fall into the latter category, the capabilities of these digital giants seem like a nagging reminder that you will never match their efficiencies and should just fold up your data centers and dump all your workloads into the "cloud." If you feel this way, cheer up. Forrester interviewed many of the leading web, cloud and hosting providers and uncovered five key lessons enterprise IT can apply within its own environments. While you do not have their scale of purchasing power, IT infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals can benefit by adopting their approach to infrastructure architecture and operational process. From standardization to automation, I&O professionals should use this report to learn and adopt valuable practices from the digital giants that operate IT infrastructure at scale.
Faced with rapidly expanding requirements for increased reliability and cost-effectiveness in IT services, today's enterprise IT Operations are challenged with increasingly complex data center infrastructures. Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) delivers key capabilities necessary to transition to more efficient and effective IT service and systems management by delivering automated monitoring and management support that enhance service delivery at every stage in the maturity of an IT infrastructure.

The Federal Aviation Administration released audio recordings of a conversation between a pilot and air traffic controllers after a teen stowaway was discovered on a Hawaiian Airlines flight in April.
Click here to watch Ashley Moser's report.
The recordings were released Tuesday. The following are portions of the conversation between a pilot and the tower. The speakers in the recording were not identified.
"Um, we have a little gate delay here. A guy is seeming to have stowed away in the landing gear from San Jose to Maui."
"So we have security in there and the ... manager searching for evidence of the guy being up there for more than, you know, five minutes on the ground."
"Alright, 24, have you, roger. You need any assistance with that or you guys got it?"
"Nope, plenty of security here, mechanics. It's all good. We (are) just kind of waiting for clearance to go."
"Roger. Thanks, well it will be pushback at your discretion. Then contact tower for taxi."
"Okey dokey, thanks."
The 15-year-old stowaway was spotted getting off the plane at the Kahului Airport on Maui. He told authorities he crawled into the wheel well of the Hawaii-bound Boeing 767 and lost consciousness when the plane took off.
The boy survived the nearly five-hour flight in subzero temperatures at oxygen-depleted heights as high as 38,000 feet.
The recording of the pilot-control tower conversation was made about an hour after the boy was discovered. The pilot on the tape was not the captain who flew the flight from San Jose, but the pilot flying the next flight on that same aircraft.
The teen was hospitalized in Hawaii for two weeks before being flown back to California. He told officials he ran away from his Santa Clara home before he got onto the plane.

Design and Functionality
Scythe Grand Kama Cross doesn't look ordinary at all. While it is a top-cooler (with the airflow directed towards the mainboard PCB), it consists of two aluminum heatsink arrays installed at a 40-degree angle to the mainboard surface (the so-called X-structure). There is a 140 mm fan attached at the top:
It weighs 750 grams, which isn't much, according to today's standards in CPU cooling field. It measures 177x140x137 mm and the details dimensions are provided on the following pictures:
There is a total of 72 heatsink fins, 36 per array. The fins in each array are arranged in three groups, 12 per group, and the lower they sit on the heatpipes, the longer they are:
This design approach allowed Scythe to use the heatsink surface beneath the fan in the most efficient manner, while directing the airflow right to the heated components in the area around the processor socket. The fins pressed firmly against the heatpipes are 0.4 mm thick, and the gaps between them are about 2.0 mm.
This sectional design of the heatsink resulting into variable length of the heatsink fins produced another tangible advantage: lower airflow resistance:
So, we may assume that Scythe Grand Kama Cross should also be quite efficient even at lower fan rotation speeds.
The fan is 140 mm in diameter and covers the entire heatsink:
Grand Kama Cross has four heatpipes 6 mm in diameter. They are soldered to the base, but we have to point out that there are no grooves in the base plate, which is 4 mm thick:
The heats-spreader base plate is 38x38 mm big, has exceptionally even surface polished to mirror-shine:
The thermal paste imprint on the LGA 2011 processor heat-spreader was very uniform and practically perfect in all respects:
The second revision of Scythe Grand Kama Cross comes with the same exact nine-blade fan, as the very first one. It is Scythe Slip Stream 140 PWM with retention holes to match the 120 mm fan landing spots:
This model is marked as SM1425SL12ML-P. Its rotation speed may be adjusted using pulse-width modulation method (PWM) in the interval from 500 to 1300 RPM (±10%). The declared noise level is 9.6-24.7 dBA, while the airflow should be within 27.2-69.9 CFM range. The slide bearing in the fan motor should last at least 30,000 hours.
Maximum fan power consumption should reach 2.64 W at 0.22 A current. Everything is pretty modest, so to speak. The rotor diameter is 39 mm, and the non-sleeved four-wire cable is 300 mm long.

Posts Tagged 'sprint'
How would you fix it: Sprint/nextel
So a few weeks ago i posted some questions regarding the newspaper industry, and how to fix it. I think I have some solid ideas, that I will post later. But that post got me thinking. A new series of blog posts, on what would you do to fix a company or industry. Could be a fun exercise in creativity.
So today I ask: If Sprint came to you for marketing / business help,
How would you fix Sprint?
we aren't dumb.
I often see communication from companies that think we (consumers) are dumb.
• Circuit City is filing for bankruptcy due to the economic colapse.
– The reality is that CC has been failing for the past 5 years. The last 6 months were merly the nail in the coffin.
• Microsoft is cutting 5000 jobs because the slow economy.
– Again, same story, Stocks and sales have been down for 2 years, yet apple reports one of the biggest profits (26% growth) ever for 4th quarter 08. Maybe the issue is bigger than the current economy.
• I recently switched cell phone carriers. My former carrier wants me back, and is offering me "special deals to come back"
– The problem is that these so called special deals, are not special. In fact, they are worse than the deals a new subscriber would get walking off the street.
• Locally, ASU is announcing huge budget cuts because the state is cutting some educational funding. They are dropping programs, loosing teachers, and making class sizes huge.
– The problem here is that ASU has raised tuition 233% in the last six years, and the ASU president makes $750k a year, plus $750K in bonuses. The average state school president makes $420k. Seems to me they are whining and cutting the wrong things. ASU is a business after all. Maybe they should run it like one.
Consumers are not a dumb as big companies think.

Your Scorpio love compatibility chart shows how compatible you are with your current partner. For singles, it gives you insight as to what future partners you may be most compatible with, based on your zodiac sign and horoscope compatibility. It allows you to see which astrology signs Scorpio matches best or worst with in love and relationships.
Scorpions and Ariens are both intense individuals, creating a complicated relationship. Because they're both aggressive, power struggles between the two are sure to occur. While passion drives both, ensuring sexual chemistry, a long-term romantic relationship would be extremely difficult.
These opposing signs will result in a satisfying sexual relationship, but a long term relationship between the Taurean and the Scorpion is a difficult one. The stubbornness of the Taurean and the fiery personality of the Scorpion causes many arguments. If they can take the same passion that fuels the sexual charge into their relationship, they can maybe make it work.
The Scorpion and the Gemini can clash, but mutual interest's and respect can help to overcome these. While the relationships these two make generally begin with a fascination for the other, negativity between the two can often destroy it before it's had a chance to grow.
Cancer's love compatibility with Scorpio's is quite high with an affinity between their water signs. These two signs compliment each other well, but there is a fine line that that they must not cross over. The in-charge, fiery Scorpio sometimes dominates that quiet, dreaming Cancer. Though they have great physical and sexual compatibility, a Cancer's ability to rouse the destructive nature of a Scorpio can hurt their deep bond.
These two powerful signs tend to butt heads with one another. If they worked together, they could do great things. Unfortunately, their passion tends to take over and they usually end up arguing. If they could keep the passion under control, it may work, but they tend to work better as friends.
Virgo's and Scorpions are a great complimentary match. Scorpio's fiery nature makes the Virgo more daring and brings excitement to their life, while Virgo's focused determination calms their Scorpion partner. These partners are agreeable with one another and their passion and focus brings them together in a strong partnership.
This is a difficult relationship between Scorpio and Libra individuals. Though Scorpions are adaptable, they also tend to be fiery, with a sting in their tail. This is often too much for the romantic Libra, who simply wants a harmonious life. If a relationship between these two is going to last, it will require a lot of care and determination. Libra's weaknesses tend to annoy Scorpions more so than other signs.
Relationships between two Scorpio's is one of danger as they're likely to self-destruct. The intense passion that they share can bring excitement in the bedroom, but can cause strong conflict and division between the two partners.
The relationship between a Scorpio and Sagittaris is a testy one. Scorpio's appreciate the optimism and confidence of the Sagittarian and the Sagittarian appreciates the loyalty and determination of the Scorpion. If they ignored the differences, this relationship could last, but the Sagittarian is tested by the Scorpions isolation and Scorpios are turned off by the Sagittarians avoidance of problems.
Scorpio's and Capricorn's can have an extremely rich relationship if they're both dedicated and intelligent enough to continually progress in the relationship. Scorpio's understand the sensitive and secretive Capricorn as they themselves can be somewhat secretive. Capricorn's have respect for the Scorpions intensity as they have a serious side to themselves as well. The key to making this relationship long lasting is continuously move forward with respect.
A match made in friendship heaven, the Scorpio and the Libra thrive off of each other's intelligence and continually stimulate one another. This relationship is strictly one of friendship though as the Aquarian's may feel attacked by the intensity of Scorpio's and Scorpio's are often disappointed by the Aquarians's flightiness.
Scorpios and Pisces are somewhat opposite, yet they compliment each other quite well. These two signs share a view of life that allows them to feel secure in their relationship. Loyal scorpions have an emotional vulnerability that appeals to the dreaming Pisces. They also have a deep desire to prove their love to their family. Pisces share this characteristic as they are always aware and sensitive to their partner's needs. This relationship is a fulfilling one, provided that both partners are interested in a long lasting bond.

Session Type I: Panel Discussions
These sessions will consist of a chairperson, and up to four panelists, each of which can provide a unique perspective or specific experience related to the topic. This is a similar format that we have used in past years.
Each panelist will typically speak for about five minutes on their view of the topic after which the discussions will be open to the floor, the aim being to have a lively exchange of ideas and best practices. The chairperson will coordinate the short presentations prior to the session and ensure that there is plenty of time left for open dialog.
Session Type 2: Open Workshops
These sessions will consist of a work-shop leader. There will be no formal panel, but several participants with specific knowledge (discussants) will be invited and will be called upon to stimulate the discourse. The workshop will be tasked explore the topic and arrive at some tangible output that can be reported back to the members of GCEC. These sessions will be highly interactive.

Technical Legal Questions Regarding Font Modification
Zan00 said
Technical Legal Questions Regarding Font Modification
Say I use a Font that doesn't have permission to be used commercially, and in some cases has to be paid for or isn't available at all.
Say I put them in a Vector software and convert it to curves and modify the font heavily where it's no longer recognizable as the original font, does the new font count as my creation even though I'm working off of the base of the original one that isn't mine?
And at what point is there enough modification to count it exclusively as your own creation? What if you create a font from scratch using a font creation software and by some small slim chance, someone out there has a font a bit similar to yours? What then?
You don't ever have the right to modify the vectors in someone else' font to create a new one of your own, no matter how different yours might be. If you want to make your own variation od someone else' font, print and scan text samples, make new vectors, and modify them, but don't alter an existing font.
You can't sprinkle parsley flakes on KFC, and pretend it's your fried chicken recipe. What you're suggesting is legally no different than that.

What's Your Favorite Font Creation Software?
I love
ScanFont 3
, from FontLab, but they don't sell it anymore, it doesn't work with Windows Operating Systems more recent than XP, and some windows automatic update from February, 2014 caused it to stop working, so I had to get another computer with XP, that isn't connected to the Internet, to continue my work.
ScanFont 3
has nothing in common with
ScanFont 5
, currently sold. SF3 is a stand alone .ttf editor. SF5 is a plug-in for
FontLab Studio
My procedure is much different from most other designers. I work with imported monochrome bitmaps. I have several fonr editing programs, but I use

for almost everything, other than adjustments to vertical metrics, or changing embedding settings.

extra characters at the end of my font
I downloaded 'Ugly Qua', and I get 'ff' at the end of each line of type. Why is this happening? And is there anything I can do to stop it?
Are you sure that's not a Pilcrow? Do you have paragraph markers enabled in MS Word?

No one is going to alter someone else' font for you, Anja. That would be both illegal and unethical.
I can't be the only one who didn't immediately realize that
was the font name, and not just poor spelling of "Trouble". You should put the font name in the text, Anja, rather than just in the subject line. You do have a clue how to do that.

100% free or is there hidden costs or undisclosed charges.
mnewland said
Thank you, for the polite, professional reply. I guess it didn't matter which font it was, just the generic "100% free" designation that was posted. I appreciate the info, thank you very much.
Michael, just don't assume that a font at DaFont is 100% free, unless specifically designated as such. Many older fonts uploaded by someone other than the designer have no license inmformation, because no one knows the terms of use. Sometimes the author is deceased, or has long since ceased to use the e-mail address shown in documentation.
does have a valid point - you should have named the font in question. Many here know specific information about certain fonts or designers. There's no valid reason why you shouldn't have been more specific about the font of which you were discussing. Vague questions prompt vague responses.

The font is listed as "100% free",I am unable to find anything else that says there may be charges if I use the font for business purposes. I am trying to do the right thing, be respectful, and attempt to contact the author. I did leave a comment on the font page for the author, requesting terms and conditions, if they do exist. Any advice? Thanks, Michael in AZ.
100% Free means exactly that. The font author has preauthorized the font for all use. You do not need permission to use it commercially. Sometimes the font designer wants to avoid inquiries like yours, after completing the work, and giving it away, for personal and commercial use. The 100% free designation is used only when the font author uploads their own work, and choses that licensing designation. No fonts on DaFont have the 100% Free designation, unless the font author has specified that as the licensing term, or documentation by the author has explicitly stated that the font is free for all use.
Just use it, and credit the designer somewhere in the commercial use, if you want to acknowledge the type source.

I realize this section of the forum is now 12 months old going by the date on your first reply but I do hope you get this.message and to help if I am not to late. The answer to the question is actually quite simple and easily overlooked when you think of a font as just a font but to install as bulk they must be "True Type Fonts"- ".ttf" or you can't install as bulk. I do hope I'm not to late to help.
Dude, I tell you this only once. Do not EVER resurrect an old thread to start or reignite a flame war. This is your first post here. You might not get the chance to make it to three, if the next thing you say pisses me off. If you want to have your IP address permanently banned, make the wrong choice.

uninstalling a font that was installed incorrectly
Don't ever try to change the name of an installed font by renaming it in the installed directory. You will permanently damage the font. For one thing, the panagram sentence at different point sizes will no longer be displayed, if you open the font in preview. I don't know what other damage would be done, but that's reason enough to not do it.
There is a way to do it, with Windows XP, but I don't know if this procedure would work with other operating systems.
For example, in my installed Windows fonts, the font named
Bodoni MT Condensed Bold Italic
has file name
, and I want the font name and the file name to be the same.
This is what I would do:
1) Open Windows Search, browse for the directory C:\WINDOWS\Fonts, and click the Search button. I want the search results to show the contents of the installed fonts folder in the operating system.
2) Select and copy any fonts which I want to rename, and paste them into a new folder, created somewhere
other than
the Operating System, or Program Files.
3) In the new folder, right-click and rename the font file name(s).
4) Delete the installed font.
5)Select/ copy the renamed font)s), and paste it/them into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
When I did this on a previous computer, I could not chance the file names of
Microsoft Sans Serif
, or the font currently selected for Notepad.exe. The
file name can't be changed, even from all caps to regular spelling, because
Tahoma is the font used for Windows XP file names and default display. You would potentially do major damage to your computer, if [b]Tahoma
is uninstalled, even briefly. This would likely apply to a different font, instead of, or in addition to
, if later operating systems have a different text display font.
I was able to change the names of every other font, except the three noted above. I have no idea whether or how this can be done with Windows Operating Systems after XP. Pwerhaps someone else could enlighten us on that.

DK Jambo
DK Carte Blanche
Moonlight Shadow
are very well designed.
DK Sleepy Time
is not. It's a
font, and not a good one. You should not have been sufficiently satisfied with it to put your name on it. Your entire catalog suffers, when you drop a turd like that one.
I look at a few vectors in a font editor. I like the curves in
D K Jambo
. The
DK Sleepy Time
vectors appear to have had little of no editing done to them. The line widths are wildly inconsistent. It sullies the reputation you've built with your other fonts.

Illegal use of font
Props to you! If you regularly receive large donations, I'm happy to hear that.
Keep in mind that this thread is about the circumstances of intellectual property theft, and not only about your specific situation. When another designer on
encounters this same problem, they be instructed to read this thread, so we wont have to write these long replies more than once.
To keep the discussion lively, it was necessary for someone to play
Devil's Advocate
, in which opinions that are not entirely supportive are also expressed.
There are also cases where some forum members have fabricated stories, for personal amusement. A portion of some of my posts was directed to those situations, and not to you specifically.
Certain statements I made should be read and understood by anyone marketing a font that's freely downloadable, but has a fee for commercial use:
1) Make sure the terms of commercial use are included
in the font file
2) Allowing the commercial use fee to be determined by the user is naive. It assumes that most people will give fair value for fair value.
3) Nobody should be designing amateur or semi professional fonts with profit as the primary motive. Good quality fonts can earn significant income for a designer. Good quality takes time. Some designers are capable of designing good quality fonts, and some aren't. Spending more time on each font, rather than trying to make as many fonts as possible, is a better strategy.
4) There is no correlation whatsoever between
download statistics and potential licensing opportunities. If a font has 1,000,000 downloads, that doesn't mean 1,000,000 different people have downloaded it. Many people will have downloaded the font more than once. Sometimes the author does that, to have their font appear to be more popular than it actual is.
5) There is no direct correlation between the popularity of a font, in terms of download stats, and its potential to generate income. A lot of people just collect fonts as a hobby. They download from
, because the fonts can be obtained for free. If there was any fee applied, however small the fee would be, they would not. Many downloaded fonts are never extracted from their .zip file, and of those that have been extracted, a smaller percentage are ever installed, or actually used in any graphic design, as a percentage of the total number of downloads. I have Gigabytes of unextracted font .zip files. Many other people do, too.
6) When a font is made hastily, it often has a usable range between 36 and 72 points. Any smaller, and the display will become muddy. Any larger, and the errors will be magnified. If a designer makes a font that is average in terms of design and technical execution, he/she is competing against all the other average fonts, and all of the free fonts, for a limited purchasing market. When a font is above average, or excellent, in terms of design and technical skill, the number of competing fonts is much smaller. You have a better chance of generating income by making better quality fonts than you do by making a large quantity of average fonts, and hoping that a few people will be overly generous.
, I do apologize for disparaging remarks about the quality of some of your designs. Those remarks were not directed specifically at you, but to all of the designers who could make their fonts better, before submitting them. You have several very good fonts. You have many that are average. Some are below average. I didn't see one that I could call great.
You could make one or more great fonts. You have no reason to make any more average or below average fonts. Leave that market to the designers who aren't capable of making a great font yet, or ever. Make your work more valuable than $10, for commercial use. That way, everyone will benefit.
I never say anything negative about a 100% free font, regardless of the quality. It's only when a commercial use fee is applied that I register an opinion. All of my own font releases have been 100% free, in part because I use the
fair use
provision of copyright law frequently, and because I don't see much commercial potential from my dingbat fonts. I believe that all of my fonts are more valuable that the disk space they would occupy on a hard drive. I would download most or all of them, if they had been made by someone else. I would not pay any money to download any of them, nor would I pay money to use them commercially. They're just my gift back to the design community, for free fonts that other people have made, and I have enjoyed.
Each designer who submits a font that has a commercial use fee should ask themselves that one question: "Would I pay money to use this font, if it had been made my someone else; ie: is it better than a similar font, that is free for all use?". If your answer to yourself is yes, then your business model is sound. If the answer to yourself is no, then you should improve the font, to the point where your answer will be yes,or not make the font in the first place, or make it free for all use. All fonts should be worthy of charging a fee for commercial use, before a fee is charged for such use.
Best regards,

Acts 4:2331comment (0)
November 1, 2012
By David Hogg
Related Scripture: Acts 4:2331
Bible Studies for Life
Academic Dean at Beeson Divinity School, Samford University
Pray with Dependency
Acts 4:23–31
Embrace God's Plan (23–28)
If you have been active in the church for long enough to become involved in discussions about theological matters, you have more than likely heard someone cite the first part of Deuteronomy 29:29: "The secret things belong to the Lord."
Usually when this passage is quoted it is in response to some deep mystery of God's revelation such as the relationship between free will and predestination. The one area to which we rarely apply it, however, is to our lives.
How many of us have said or thought that we wish we knew more about God's plan for our lives? We want to know our future; we want to know how long we have to live; we want to know particular details. Perhaps like Hezekiah of old (2 Kings 20) the reason the Lord does not show or tell us more about His plan is that we are not able to receive it. The distance from humble to haughty is a good deal shorter than many realize.
In the early church the apostles knew only what Jesus had charged them to do and that their obedience would be costly; yet they were content. How can we tell they are content? Look at their prayer in vv. 24–26. After being harassed and threatened by the authorities, Peter and company praised God in prayer in a rather unique way. First, they began with the sovereignty of God. They did not question God's goodness or power or guidance; instead they opened their prayer with an acclamation about God's power and sovereignty over all creation. Knowing God is enough. While some of us would be inclined to complain about how we had been treated, Peter and the church were able to embrace God's work even when met with hostility because they had embraced God. Satisfaction with God's plan for our lives and His leading begins with trusting and resting in Him.
Second, the early church was content and able to embrace God's plan because they recognized that His purposes and power cannot be thwarted. One of the signs of maturity among God's people is that they focus less and less on themselves in prayer and more and more on God. Citing Psalm 2, this congregation did not focus on their problems, struggles and difficulties, but on the power of God to accomplish His purposes. Sure, there are obstacles in our way, they said, and yes, the authorities are going to make spreading the gospel message difficult and painful; but God cannot be stopped, and we are His servants who will bring about what He has "predestined to take place." Notice that no one was expressing confidence in themselves as servants; rather, they were expressing supreme confidence in God.
Pray for God to Work (29–30)
Wonderfully, this early congregation of believers recognized that confidence in God's activity did not mean laziness or negligence with respect to their own. Predestination and responsibility are addressed in the same breath because the foreordained means by which God will accomplish His eternal purposes is through His people, the Church.
As much as we like to protect and preserve our own comfort, we need to see as the early church did that our prayer is not for a lighter load to bear but stronger backs to bear it. We do not need less of a burden; we need more of Jesus. As verse 30 points out, it is through Jesus that marvelous works of all kinds are performed for the sake of the Kingdom.
Experience God's Power (31)
Does God answer prayer? Yes. Does God give us what we need in time of need? Yes. Is God able to help us overcome those who oppose the gospel? Yes. We should therefore always pray with expectation. But in praying with expectation, we must also remember that God answers according to His wisdom, which means our prayers will not always be answered in the same way. You may never feel your house or church shake, but the power of the Holy Spirit to fill you and work through you remains undiminished.

The Astros had a very disappointing season in 2011, and their rebuilding process is fully underway. The roster is mostly stocked with younger players but there are still some older veterans that can be dealt for more prospects to rebuild a depleted and bare farm system.
Ed Wade needs to make a great trade if he wants to have any chance to keep his job with the new owner Jim Crane coming in soon (hopefully). After a few big names, the free agent class is relatively weak which gives the Astros a great opportunity to deal off some players and get more for them than they normally would in a strong market.
Here are five possible trades that the Astros can do to bolster both their farm system and their major league team.

Officials say 'things happened' Oct. 7 to force closing
By Robin Fornoff
Christina Calloway
CMI Senior Writer
Defunct peanut processor Sunland Inc. may have stunned and surprised Portales and much of eastern New Mexico by declaring bankruptcy and shutting its doors this month.
But documents filed in federal court show the one-time giant of the peanut industry had been preparing for the possibility of bankruptcy for the past six months, even while negotiating with Portales city officials for a $500,000 grant.
The city ultimately gave Sunland $150,000 about a month after the company's board of directors adopted resolutions on April 17 to start bankruptcy proceedings.
The disclosure — part of an Oct. 8 resolution approved by Sunland's board of directors — is included in more than 500 pages of documents the company filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court shortly after announcing operations had ceased and it was seeking Chapter 7 protection.
City Manager Doug Redmond said Sunland officials never said anything about bankruptcy or money problems during negotiations that began in early March. Quite the opposite, Redmond said, Sunland Chief Executive Officer Jimmie Shearer presented the city with financial statements indicating the company was solvent and had just received a $3 million loan from a Denver bank to purchase new equipment.
"I asked them in a meeting … is another shoe going to drop," said Redmond. "Nothing."
"I feel like had … there been an event like this that occurred, they should have notified the city," said Redmond. "I would have wished they would have said 'hey, this has come up.'"
Shearer refused comment on the disclosure, saying, "I'm not talking about the past."
Sunland's bankruptcy attorney William J. Arland III said it "would not be accurate" to assume Sunland had been planning bankruptcy since April, but he declined to elaborate.
"The document speaks for itself," he said.
Arland's sentiments were echoed by Sunland board Secretary Wayne Baker, who insisted the company wasn't exploring bankruptcy options until Oct. 7, the day before it decided Chapter 7 protection was the only option.
"Our attorneys advised us (in April) we needed that resolution in place," said Baker. "We weren't ever exploring it (bankruptcy). We felt confident we were going to keep it going even up to the day before we closed it."
Baker said "some things happened" Oct. 7 that forced the board's decision to seek bankruptcy protection. He declined to elaborate.
In its Oct. 9 announcement of the bankruptcy, Sunland cited the impact of a voluntary product recall and a government enforced plant shutdown last year after the Food and Drug Administration traced 41 cases of salmonella poisoning in 20 states to the company's products. All 41 people sickened by Sunland's products recovered.
Baker said lawsuits filed by victims of salmonella played a part in cash flow problems at Sunland "but we thought we were getting those done. Some things happened on the day before (the closing) … it just got to the point we couldn't do it anymore."
Baker said Sunland was "basically operating on a day-to-day basis."
"Basically the cash flow just went away and we couldn't function anymore," he said.
Redmond said Sunland originally applied for a $500,000 grant from the city's Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) fund in early March. LEDA money is collected as a portion of gross receipts taxes.
Redmond said because the LEDA fund only had a balance of about $1 million, he recommended Sunland be given a grant of $50,000 and a loan for the remaining $450,000.
The LEDA board, however, voted May 21 to give Sunland a $150,000 grant. LEDA board member and City Attorney Randy Knudson said no one was aware of Sunland's April 17 resolution to commence bankruptcy proceedings.
"Our intentions," said Knudson, "were to save jobs here in this community."
Knudson said he and other LEDA board members were aware the recall and plant shutdown had hurt Sunland and there was risk. He said company representatives never indicated there was certainty it could continue to stay in business.
"But there are no certainties in cases like these," Knudson said.
Mayor Sharon King said she doesn't believe Shearer or Sunland tried to deceive the city.
"I really believe at the time that they asked for LEDA funds that they really felt like they'd be continuing to go on and they were asking for the money in good faith," said King.
Redmond said the $150,000 was designated to be used to address FDA mandated changes in Sunland's peanut butter manufacturing. Specifically, he said, for quality control and training employees in safe manufacture and handling in the peanut butter plant.
Baker said the cash was used to develop a sanitary plan.
"We got to the point where we just laid down at the feet of the FDA and said, 'Tell us what to do. Tell us what you want,'" said Baker. "That money was used to do whatever the FDA asked in the peanut butter plant."

If you are a Single, Active, Retired, Baby Boomer (SARBB), looking for a tree change and some genuine and friendly company, then a small farming community is being developed at Cootharaba, 25k's north of Noosa, just past Boreen Point, on a delightful 5 acre parcel of mixed rain forest and open scrub. A Living Pavilion provides two kitchens, one for communal cooking and one for personal food preparation and includes a serious coffee bar. Also included is a pantry kitchen, a visitor's suite, dining and lounge decks and a laundry. Seven stand-alone cabins are planned, with six cabins now completed. The two designs, of either 36sqm internal or 25sqm internal + 18sqm patio, offer residents a living, ensuite and bedroom of personal, private space, while the Living Pavilion is where folk come together for meals, company and good cheer. The property has 'off the grid' power, offering 240 volt supply, has its own waste-water treatment plant, excellent deep spring and rain water availability, raised veggie gardens already in production, over 70 fruit trees of 23 different verities, chooks that are well housed at night and free range during the day. I am hopeful of attracting single, active, retired, baby boomer folk to join me on the farm so that we might become as self-sufficient as possible. There are seven positions or chosen jobs, each require only a few hours a day, for production of the farm's daily food needs. Of the seven positions four are taken, they are: Fruit tree gardener. This position is taken by Mike. A fisher. This position is taken by Rick. A small animal carer to look after the chooks. Kady has this job. A chef/cook to run the kitchen and do the communal shopping. Residents take it in turn to cook the evening meal. This position has been taken by Jan. Opportunities still available are: A gardener to oversee the veggie gardens, we all help in the gardens. A chef/cook to run the pantry. To sun dry, preserve, smoke and dehydrate the farm's oversupply for later consumption. A handyman to do the general maintenance. Chores are very flexible and we help each other to achieve our common goal of aiming for self sufficiency. A cabin's weekly rental is based upon the final cost of providing a cabin to the resident's requested fit-out and furniture requirements. That rental includes power, water and all the food produced on the farm and can range from $125 to $150 per week. There is also a weekly contribution towards food and supplies purchased off site. This is currently $70 per week and is expected to drop as more food is produced onsite. I would welcome the opportunity to show you the farm and further explain what we are trying to achieve. You might like to stay in the visitor's suite for a night or two. Cheers Brendan.

Are you or someone you know a shopaholic? Then you're probably a narcissist.
Psychoanalyst/psychiatrist Arnold Goldberg explains those who feel the need to shop til they drop "have disturbances in their self-esteem regulation" and "often exhibit what we call narcissistic personalities; they are very grandiose, they show off, they're very self involved".
Goldberg recalled one of his patients who went on frequent shopping binges. He said:
"My patient who did periodic shopping would spend incredible amounts of money, go deep into debt, and said she'd be pulled into a Gucci or a Prada store and would go into something like a dissociated state … and find herself buying, buying, buying; afterwards feel, 'What in the world happened to me'?"
So what's the cure?
Like any other addiction, there's behavioral treatment therapy and groups like Shopaholics Anonymous.

vonDoomcraft – What is it?
The vonDoom Texture Pack is unlike any other. It shows how not only can texture packs look completely unique, but just plain good to look at. The textures are in high definition, so they're crisp, clear and easy on the eyes. However, what really makes it shine is the creepy, almost trippy style. It pops out at you and engulfs you in its world. It's almost unbelievable how this new look for Minecraft is achieved only with a different texture pack.
Standard surfaces, such as stone, carry a nearly surreal/borderline realistic look to them. Then you get to the mobs and see where the true style of this texture pack comes out. Creepers' faces are twisted and full of pain, zombies are now in suits and carry a cartoony look to them, and slimes are highly detailed but carry angry expressions now. Ghasts are now high octane nightmare fuel, sure to haunt your sleep. Overall, this pack carries my seal of approval, for its unique but gorgeous style. Download it below.
Now for some screenshots of the texture pack.

ROSWELL — Despite three potential game-winning shot attempts in the final 10 seconds, the Portales Lady Rams fell to Roswell High 32-31 Friday in the championship game of the Roswell Goddard Holiday Classic.
Freshman Kambrey Blakey scored 15 points and freshman Sheraya Cox added eight for the Lady Rams (9-4), who rallied from a five-point halftime deficit to push the Class 4A Lady Coyotes to the buzzer.
"We had some good looks," Portales coach Clay Stout said. "They kind of rattled in and rattled out. It was a good championship game."
Tiffanie Bolanos scored 10 points for Roswell High (7-4), including what turned out to be the game-winner from in close with under 30 seconds to go in the game.
Down 18-13 at halftime, Portales rallied in the third quarter behind Blakey and Cox. Blakey scored five points and Cox four as Portales tied the game at 25 heading into the final eight minutes.
"We did a better job on our defensive rotation and got several stops back-to-back," Stout said. "On offense we got loose for a couple of back-door cuts and Blakey drive to the basket a couple of times."
Portales led by four with two minutes to go in the fourth quarter when Balanos hit a 3-pointer to rally her team.
"We kept our composure," Stout said. "They're really athletic and really get after you. But I think we handled the pressure really well."
Portales beat Los Alamos 57-52 and Goddard 34-27 to reach the finals in the three-day, eight-team tournament.
"We got to play three really good games back-to-back, and the best part was we played our best game and played our hardest in the last game," Stout said. "We got progressively better throughout the tournament, and that's what you want to do."

Betty Williamson
In 1908, a pioneer named John Gordon Greaves and his wife, Annie, arrived in south Roosevelt County in search of "health, land, hope and faith," according to their son, Gordon Greaves, long-time editor of the Portales News-Tribune. Settling in a remote location six miles from the nearest windmill, they put down roots that are blooming unexpectedly a century later.
Saturday morning, a great-granddaughter they never knew will be one of the 363 young men and women receiving diplomas from Eastern New Mexico University.
Justine Tydings came to ENMU from Albuquerque in search of a biology degree and the opportunity to play soccer at the college level. She found both, as well as a community she's been happy to call home for the last four and a half years.
"A place is what you make of it," Justine says, "and this place has held wonderful friendships and a great education for me."
I believe those long ago settlers would be happy to know that the land they found to be harsh and unforgiving was carved into a place that could welcome their progeny back three generations later. On Saturday morning, I shall imagine them smiling down on this bright and likeable young woman and her classmates as they set off on pioneer journeys of their own.

D.C. Council Passes Tax-Cutting Budget
James Wright | 5/30/2014, 4:33 p.m.
The D.C. Council's tax-relief plan and budget for fiscal 2015 may leave many residents smiling — particularly at their lower income tax bills — but will undoubtedly chafe others who feel the wrath of sharp budget cuts.
Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) helped Wednesday to pass the budget, which funds important services and programs and focuses on developing the city economically. The council approved the budget, 11-2.
"The council's budget proposal focuses on sustaining important investments in affordable housing, workforce development, public schools and infrastructure," Mendelson said. "The budget adopted builds on the hard work by the mayor's team in the budget originally proposed, and with the cooperation of the mayor and the chief financial officer, the council was able to build on that foundation to make changes that will benefit the District significantly."
The final vote on the budget will take place next month.
The budget implemented the majority of the recommendations proposed by the Tax Revision Commission that was chaired by former Mayor Anthony Williams. Those recommendations include expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit to childless workers, increasing the personal deduction and personal exemption to the federal level and tax relief for low- and middle-income taxpayers who earn $40,000 to $60,000.
The budget also helps senior citizens and homeowners whose property values have increased by raising the estate tax threshold to twice the current limit and eventually recoupling it with the federal level.
Council member Jack Evans (D-Ward 2), the chairman of the powerful Committee on Finance and Revenue, said that he is glad the council supported many of the commission's ideas.
"At a time when the District is seeing record budget surpluses, these tax cuts will keep money with citizens while providing support for necessary city services," Evans said. "In total, the budget will provide $165 million per year in tax relief to District residents and businesses."
The budget will increase the funding for the Local Rent Supplement Program, provide application assistance for those applying for Social Security, fund the Homeless Prevention Program Establishment Act and case managers at D.C. General.
The council's budget didn't please everyone, though. The District's upcoming streetcar project, which was to receive nearly $900 million in Mayor Vincent Gray's proposed budget, was cut to $400 million, with the option of adding money as time progresses. Backers of the program, including council member Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6), argued the slashed funds have stymied the project before it begins.
Wells, one of the two council members to vote against the budget, said the cuts to the streetcar project were too drastic to approve. The other dissenter, Marion Barry (D-Ward 8), said he was against funding the project altogether.
Additionally, a tax on health care memberships has drawn the ire of fitness trainers and health clubs in the region. Myron Flowers, who co-owns a professional training business, 360 Fit Performance in Silver Spring, Maryland and who has clients in the District, said that the tax may be a problem for him.
"It will be tough for people who want to remain fit but don't have a lot of money," said Flowers, whose list of clients include San Francisco 49ers star Vernon Davis. "We know that the big gyms can handle that but it will be tough for smaller gyms. It will hard to handle the paperwork with recording the taxes and things like that."
Despite the gripes, council member David Grosso (I-At Large) said he is generally pleased with the budget.
"The Committee of the Whole put forth forward a thoughtful and comprehensive budget that will benefit all District residents in the areas of education, work-force development, human services and transportation," Grosso said. "This budget is the result of a lot of hard work and careful considerations and I am pleased to support and vote in favor of it."

MINNEAPOLIS — Supervalu here said Tuesday that first-quarter net income fell more than 40%, to $67 million, as sales slid 9.45%, compared with year-ago results. Identical-store sales declines of 7.2% and the sale of some locations helped drive a 9.6% decrease in total retail sales for the period, while revenues from supply-chain services fell 7.9%, to $2.6 billion, primarily reflecting Target's switch to self-distribution.
