God isn't dead though for many He is not relevant
In the 1960ies we often heard it said that God was dead. Carl Ludwig Nietzsche, was appointed pastor at Röcken by order of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, after whom Friedrich Nietzsche was named. Before Friedrich Nietzsche's fifth birthday his father died in 1849. He was left to live in a household consisting of […]
Dying for or instead
Tragically, the simple words "Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8) have been grossly misunderstood as meaning that Christ died instead of us. There are a number of connections between Romans 5 and 1 Cor. 15 (e.g. v. 12 = 1 Cor. 15:21; v. 17 = 1 Cor. 15:22). "Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8) is […]
Faith coming by hearing and sent preacher gift from God
"Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Rom. 10:17) The Apostle Paul in this verse tells us that no one can believe unless they hear. In the same context, he also says that no one can hear unless "a preacher" is "sent." (vss. 14,15) Thus, without question the "sent preacher" is […]
A Father Who begat a son
Documents of the Christian Church 2nd Ed 1963 Henery Bettenson (quotes from Arius and his followers) "If, said he, the Father begat the Son, he that was begotten had a beginning of existence; hence it is clear that there was a [a time] when the son was not." "The Son of God is from what […]
Application of old pagan concept of trinity
Many who believe in the trinity are surprised to learn that the idea of divine beings existing as trinities or triads long predated Christianity. Yet the evidence is abundantly documented. So let us have a look at some of the evidence. Marie Sinclair, Countess of Caithness, in her 1876 book Old Truths in a New […]

A popular television programme and a new website
Who does not know the popular topical debate television BBC programme "Question Time" based on BBC Radio 4's debate radio programme Any Questions?, which is usually broadcast on Thursday evenings on BBC One after the late news (and slightly later in Northern Ireland). Repeats are usually broadcast in the following days on BBC Two and BBC Parliament. […]
Objective views and not closing eyes for certain sayings
The reblog A Progressive Call to Arms caused several very different reactions. Pity some people did not want to react straight on the article and choose other, non public, ways.

Spiritual Freedom and the Losing Legacy of Traditional Christianity

Sometimes the best answer is a question
The poet Rainer Maria Rilke exchanged special letters with a young, doubtful and novice poet.What he then wrote to Kappus , at the beginning of the twentieth century, is still true today.

Soms is het beste antwoord een vraag
De dichter Rainer Maria Rilke onderhield een bijzondere briefwisseling met een jonge, twijfelende en beginnende dichter.

At last the sun is showing herself after a very long grey period.

Intelligent design Not chance > Flight of birds – Feathers
-Feathers: As well as the general streamlining and aerodynamic qualities of birds and aerofoil wing design, the feathers of birds are all important for efficiency in flight and accuracy of navigational movement through the air.

Read and sharing: Philemon- Pray and prepare "And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be restored to you in answer to your prayers." (Philemon v 22). It's one thing to pray for something to happen, but it's quite another to be so convinced that God will answer your […]
That what dwells in man
Converting to Christianity to have all problems solved is not the solution, like some might hope or think. Though a conversion may help to bring lots of solutions to many problems. In the knowledge that we have to live with our lusts of flesh we can imagine how sin dwells in us. we should know […]
Glued to the flesh
When converted to Christianity so many think they do not have to worry any-more about their acts, with the idea they are saved for ever. They know they are weak and in a certain way they should come to recognise that they are glued at the fleshy body. In The New Life, page 39, John […]
Different kinds of "things not seen"
Do you feel that life in the Truth is a battle? Lots of people before they come in the faith go through a big battle; They do hope all their worries would be over when they convert to Christianity. Some get surprised that all the problems are not over when having become a Christian. There […]

Have to agree with all the quilter above stated. Follow your own heart and ignore the uppity ones, they may just be jealous that you re having such a good time.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Have to agree with all the quilter above stated. Follow your own heart and ignore the uppity ones, they may just be jealous that you re having such a good time.
My advice: Sew and enter, sew and enter, sew and enter. Or in your case, quilt and enter. Our local county fair is the best and I always enter everything that I have worked on during the previous year--our fair rules. And I always enter with the idea in mind of winning, and am disappointed when I don't win. We had so many good entries that I was just lost in the maze. Next year, though...... Congratulations, and I am like you, I would have felt real bad if someone had said something like that to me. Keep on keeping on, You go girl.....
Make every day count for something!
I agree...these ladies are being snooty...I was going to enter a quilt in our local fair...but didn't get it done in time. You have to start somewhere, right? Fairs are a good test to see if you like the process. Judged quilt shows will probably get you some feedback, even if the quilt is not accepted...they will tell you why it wasn't...Not sure I care for that....so I will start with a local fair, lol....no one needs to tell me where I goofed anyhows...I probably already know!
Marge Campbell
TL18LS/Qbot automated quilter
Congrat to the both of you.I have never entered any fairs,but do very much enjoy seeing the variety at faires ect.
Don't pay any attention to that "lady" in your guild....keep on doing what makes YOU feel good.
If you are proud of what you did...enter it! Obviously the poo-poo lady has her nose so far up in the air it isn't worth giving her a second thought. I think fairs are a great opportunity to see what others are doing as well and get ideas. Keep entering!!
We have 2 local fairs near my house; a county fair and a harvest fair. The county fair has a LOT more quilts and they display them hung from rafters (kind of far away but at least you can see the whole quilt); the harvest fair (which I just went to today!) only had about 4 quilts and they were displayed all folded up! Boo! They did have some smaller wall-hanging size quilts hung, though.
I'm sort of new to quilting but I'm determined to put something into both fairs next year. I don't care who judges, I don't care if I win...the point is for me to have a goal and to put myself out there and let people besides my friends and immediate family see what I'm doing. It's about me "doing" rather than me "winning". If I win a ribbon I'll be thrilled but I'm certainly not counting on anything other than entering.
BUT, I'll get to go to the fair for free if I enter something. So I'll "win" at least $10 both times! LOL
Congrats on putting yourself out there and winning a ribbon! I think it's awesome and it's good for the community to show that there are local artists under every rock and behind every corner.
Are you really going to let someone upset you because "they" thought it was beneath you? You got a ribbon and you should be happy. Maybe she is jealous. Do your own thing and don't let others tell you what to do. It's your quilt and your choice.
There's nothing wrong with it...it's participating in your local community. It makes the fair better and inspires others to see lovely work! What if all the good quilters turned their noses up at entering their work in the fair? There would be nothing interesting to look at and the fair would be all the poorer for it. Your stuck up friend wasn't very community-minded!

i have entered quilts in our state fair for years i enjoy it and dont take to heart what some of the comments are from the judges , because i dont believe there are "set" rules for making a quilt , i have won a few ribbons and enjoy looking at all the entries , something a lot of people go to the fair just to see the exhibits !!

I went out to check my bees today - we have had single digit temperature and have 5 inches of snow on the ground now for the last three days. When I press my ear against the hive there was a solid buzzing from inside the upper box. In the last two weeks the hive has lost about 5-7 lbs. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that next week will bring a warm day or two that will melt the snow and allow for a clensing flight or two.

Engadget Launches New, Mobile-First Product at CES
Jan 7, 2014
On Friday, we launched a new product for Engadget called Engadget Mini: the first test of a new microblogging platform we built for delivering real-time updates of all sorts of different content, including headlines, links, photos, videos, tweets, and comments.
We made this because we wanted to create a new kind of content experience designed for the screen in your pocket, not the one on your desk. We also wanted something that reflected the ways media has changed over the years, so there's a big emphasis in Mini on curating great content from across the social web.
Why launch at CES? Because there is no bigger event in the consumer electronics world, and we thought it'd be great to offer a real-time stream of everything interesting, important, and fun going on at the show.
We're going to keep Engadget Mini going after CES ends, and after making some improvements from what we learn over the course of the week, we hope to bring Mini to other brands here at AOL later this year. You can find it on the right-rail of Engadget.com and at mini.engadget.com, but the best way to experience Engadget Mini is on your phone or tablet using the iOS and Android apps that are available for it.

The story of Jack Wellman is about the remarkable healing power of sports. A story about healing, though, must begin with some pain.
Jack is a 14-year-old from Newtown, Connecticut. Just last year, he was a three-sport athlete: a lacrosse goalie, a wrestler, and an offensive guard in football.
In August 2012, he was looking forward to another football season. He was small for a football player, weighing only about 115 pounds, but he more than made up for it with his smarts, toughness, and effort. The grueling summer workouts were over, and his team had a Saturday-morning walkthrough practice before the season opener the next day. Coaches called a play. Jack was set to block (or at least get in the way of) a 250-pound teammate. The ball was snapped, and the two collided. Jack crashed to the ground.
His first thought was that he had just had the wind knocked out of him. When he rolled over onto his stomach, though, the pain started shooting up his body, and he rolled onto his back. He was down, and he stayed down for a while. That practice would be the last of his football career.
Jack Wellman is Sports Illustrated Kids magazine's 2013 SportsKid of the Year because of what he did after he got back up.
A New Role
Jack loved playing sports. But on that day in August, it seemed that all sports were about to be taken away from him. Even though injuries were nothing new for Jack — as a lacrosse goalie, he had twice broken his hand stopping shots — this injury was much more serious. Jack had broken one of the vertebrae in his back, which not only meant a long and painful recovery, but also that he would miss both the football and wrestling seasons. "It was hard," Jack says. "I was sad."
The Newtown Youth Wrestling Association (NYWA) has long had a presence in the local community. Jack began wrestling as a sixth-grader. His father, Andy, wrestled in high school and is an assistant coach in the NYWA. Curtis Urbina, one of the NYWA coaches, admired Jack's tenacity, or drive to keep going, on the wrestling mat. After Jack was injured, Urbina had an idea. He told the Wellmans to bring Jack to practices to help out. "I always said, we have an Xbox right there in the living room," Jack's father says. "It was up to him what he wanted to do."
Jack decided that instead of letting the injury hold him back, he wanted to stay involved with wrestling. After a few days, he realized he wanted to do even more, by coaching. Urbina had Jack spend a few practices watching how he and the other coaches worked with wrestlers. Jack gravitated toward the toughest kids to coach, the little guys (NYWA has wrestlers as young as four years old). Jack was a natural. He kept the kids interested and made it fun for them. He showed patience and persistence. "Making sure they stayed in the room, that was a big part of my job," Jack jokes. "But I wanted to be able to teach others some of the same lessons that wrestling had taught me. Wrestling's not easy, but it's worth it."
One of the kids Jack coached that season was Stephen Singlak, 4. Stephen's parents were amazed as they watched Jack work with their son. "Stephen was wrestling kids bigger than him, and I didn't want him getting discouraged," says Stephen's dad. "Jack just started going one-on-one with him. Jack would be on all fours, and Stephen was trying different moves and just having a blast the whole time. Stephen started liking it more and more."
Stephen had energy, but he wasn't much of a wrestler when he first joined NYWA. After struggling to win even one match early on, Stephen won about half of his matches in the second half of the season. "It was an incredible feeling knowing that I had played a part in Stephen getting to where he was," Jack says. "That coaching experience was just awesome. I'm so glad I had an opportunity to help out."
Helping a Community
Just when things were starting to look up for Jack again, his community was rocked by an unimaginable tragedy on December 14, 2012. The tragedy occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary, the same school where the wrestling team held its practices and which some of the team members attended. One of the wrestlers was among the victims at Sandy Hook. The community of Newtown, as well as the entire country, was devastated by the events.
Dealing with such a difficult and sad situation gave Jack new perspective on his sports injuries. "There was this amazing outpouring of love and support coming from all over the world," he says. "I felt like I had been sitting around feeling sorry for myself. I realized it was time for me to do something."
Jack became active with the My Sandy Hook Family Fund, which helps families affected by the tragedy by raising money and providing everyday support for things like yard work, landscaping, and other chores. The Fund was started by Rob and Debora Accomando, a Newtown family with three sons who have all been part of the wrestling program. Jack coached their youngest son. They were impressed by Jack's big heart and leadership ability. "You never felt like Jack was longing to be in the other room, wrestling with his friends," Debora says. "He accepted and embraced his [responsibility]. He's such a good kid."
Newtown was forever changed last December. But with the help of Jack, wrestling has played a small part in the healing. In January, Newtown tied for first at the Western Connecticut Elementary School Wrestling League championships, the best finish in the program's history. In a dark period, it was a rare moment of triumph. "Jack's not a leader because he's the best athlete," says Rob Accomando. "It's because people trust him. When he wants to help, it's because he genuinely feels compassion."
After a bad injury altered his life in sports, Jack got back on his feet. And as the days go on, Newtown will do the same.

Disaster Preparedness Kit
I'm looking to put together a disaster kit to keep at home and/or in the car for personal use for me and my family in the event it's needed. It's something I've considered doing in the past and just never followed through.
How many of you have a kit? What's in it if you do or what would you include if you were building one?

Robert was kind, gentle, helpful and a dedicated student with a twinkle in his eye when he smiled. I had the pleasure of being his guest teacher over the years from elementary school to SRVHS. He will be greatly missed by all who loved him. God Bless the Orlando family.

My heartfelt sympathies to Robert's family and friends. Such a tragedy to lose one so young.

Unlimited growth is generally impossible, because birth and death rates are affected by factors such as lack of food, water and land. We now incorporate the effect of the environment on population size into the exponential model: $\frac {\mathrm{d}N}{\mathrm{d}t} =rN(t)$
Below are two derivations of this new model, called the logistic equation. It was originally devised by the mathematician Thomas Malthus. Notes on the discrete form of this equation can be found here.
The carrying capacity, K, is the largest population that can be supported indefinitely, given the resources available in the environment. When the population size is far below K, its growth is exponential. As the population approaches K, it begins to be affected by the reduced ability of the environment to provide necessary resources.
In order to have this effect, we consider the term $\frac {K-N}{K}$ . Note that when $N< < K$ then $\frac {K-N}{K}\approx 1$ and when $N \rightarrow K$ then $\frac {K-N}{K} \rightarrow 0$.
Including the above term, we now get the equation: $$\frac {\mathrm{d}N}{\mathrm{d}t}=r \frac{K-N}{K} N(t)= rN\left(1-\frac{N}{K}\right)$$Note that each individual added to the population reduces the rate of increase of the whole population.
Consider a population of lions of size y, and begin by assuming the simple exponential equation $\frac {\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}t}=r y$ , where r is the intrinsic growth rate.
If the probability of food being found by an individual lion is y, then the probability of some food being found by two lions is proportional to $y^2$. Fighting will occur within the species for these limited resources, so the death rate due to fighting can be represented by $\gamma y^2$ . Our equation then becomes: $$\frac {\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}t}=ry-\gamma
y^2=ry\left(1-\frac{y}{Y}\right)$$where $Y=\frac{r}{\gamma}$. Again this is the logistic equation.
Question: Graph the logistic equation to find the equilibrium points. Then solve the equation using standard integrals, showing that the solution is given by $N(t)=\frac {K N_0 e^{rt}}{K+N_0 (e^{rt}-1)}$
Graphically we describe this kind of population growth by a sigmoid, or S-shaped growth curve:
By looking at the blue curve, we see the size of the population begins to level off and reaches a stable value, which must be less than the carrying capacity of the environment (marked in red).
Mathematically, we can show this by looking at the above solution for $N(t)$ and showing $\lim_{t\to\infty} N(t)=K$
Question: A small lake has a carrying capacity of 100 geese. Starting with a pair of geese, how would the population change over 70 years if $r=0.1$? Draw a sigmoid graph of this change.
Recall that r is the intrinsic growth rate. How will this affect the time taken for the number of geese to reach the carrying capacity of the lake? Perhaps start by drawing graphs with different r-values.

What's the big deal about the water cooler? There's the obvious point that it's important that employees be properly hydrated, but it's more than that. The water cooler really stands as an oasis of refuge in a sometimes stressful work environment. It represents a place you can go to step away from your desk, stretch your legs, perhaps even check in with fellow employees, while getting some refreshment. The result is often a happier and more productive work environment. It's also nice to provide a liquid alternative to coffee, which has its place, to be sure, but is no substitute for fresh, clean bottled water.
If you've held off on a water dispenser arrangement because of concerns about price, let Sam's Club take care of everything. We've got high tech water dispensers which provide water fast and in a variety of temperatures, we've got the storage units you need to easily store and access extra water bottles, and we can even provide the water itself. If you already have a water arrangement with a particular company, you may want to take a second look and see how much you can save if you switch to getting your water and water dispensing products from Sam's Club. If you've got thirsty employees, the savings could really add up over time.
So make sure your employees always have somewhere to go to get clean, cool, refreshing water to drink during the work day. Order affordable water dispensers and accessories from Sam's Club today.

New member here and wanted to start off with my HIC build that had been put on hold for about a year. Here's the frame built with the panel slots cut out. I do not have a pic but the slots will be backed with MDF screwed in place. The panels will then be glued with 5 min epoxy to the MDF. This way, I can remove the MDF when I need to move the HIC frame around and not damage the panels.
Here the notches are cut out with a jig saw. Still need to fill all the screw holes, sand the entire frame down, and round off all the edges before I can attach the front panel I got from Stormrider.
Here's a shot of the panel glued to the MDF backing plate. The panels were blocked sanded to get the bottom as flat as possible. There are still some gaps but were easily filled in with Apoxie sculpt.
There are holes on the panels that will need to be hollowed out. I used a 1/8 size drill bit to do this and the tape help keep all the holes the same depth.
most of the greeblies were casted a little long so there's flash on the bottom. I just used 150 grit sandpaper and sanded it down in a circular motion. Then again with 220 grit to smooth it out.
Here's one of the panel primed with grey primer, gloss black, then aluminum all bought at an automotive store. I made templates of the four squares in the panels so I can trace them on a thin sheet of aluminum. The sheets of aluminum were then superglued in place. That's where I'm at now just chipping away at each panel getting all the greeblies cleaned up and ready for paint. Thanks for following along and hope to have an update soon!


text: I have decided, now that I only drive my big truck once a week or so, that it's time to finally make it my dream truck :happy: My truck is an 05 sierra Z71. It came factory with 4.10 gears and the L33 engine which from my research is a pretty nasty engine, flat top pistons, 10.0:1 compression and a bigger cam than the other 5.3s and its an all aluminum block. I have been looking around all over the internet and found several top end packages and other goodie bundles. I have come to be fond of the Trick Flo packages, and an STS turbo kit. But is my motor the LS2 or LS1, or what ???? Will these kits work well with the turbocharger, or should I just build a kit from scratch? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TFS-K305-455-425/ thats the trick flo kit I've looked at. I was wanting a cam with a little lower lobe separation for that choppy idle, of course I would get an EFI live tune. So anyone have suggestions on parts or performance shops in SC, NC or even GA that i could contact?
