At the age of 20, Ryan Corr was already something of a seasoned screen actor when he won the role of black sheep Coby Jennings on Packed to the Rafters, after making his TV debut six years earlier in tween comedy The Sleepover Club. Indeed, it was thanks to another series he made when he was 14 that he was asked to audition for Rafters in the first place.
"I became good friends with Angus McLaren, who played Nathan Rafter, when we worked on a show called Silversun back in 2004," says Corr. "He and Pino Amenta, who'd been a director on that show and was working on Rafters, saw a bit of Coby in me and rang up to see if I'd come in and try out for the part."
Originally Coby, a Rafters relly from the wrong side of the tracks, was meant to appear in just three or four episodes, but the showrunners were sufficiently impressed with what Corr did that they paid him the "massive compliment" of asking him to continue in the role, which ended up lasting four seasons and 61 episodes.
"I was really excited to join the show, which was already established and successful when I was invited on board," he says. "It'd cleaned up at the Australian TV awards and was really well known; it was a series that sat families around the television set together, and it was a really big step in my career to be on something with such a high profile."
Playing Coby was a satisfying challenge, says Corr: "He was a bit of a battler who was really emotionally guarded and hard as nails because of his relatively abusive background. But at the same time I had a sense that here was a young man with potential for personal growth, and who wanted a better life without really knowing how to go about getting it."
The tension between Coby's aspirations and his accumulated baggage came to a head at the end of season five, with the character in prison after an assault.
"That's the ultimate turning point for Coby," says Corr. "When we see him again towards the end of the final season he's had a lot of time to reflect and realise what's important to him, so when he gets out he's got a very clear idea of what he needs to do."
As for the show itself, "aside from horribly early starts", working on Packed to the Rafters was a real pleasure, Corr says. "Everyone was really supportive and after living in each other's pockets for 12 hours or more every day, we all became really close friends - not just the cast but the crew as well. Those relationships will last a long time beyond the end of Rafters. We catch up extra-curricularly now."
When they shot the last episode at the end of last year it was with a mix of sadness and a sense of achievement, says Corr. "And we were all pleased to give the show the ending we thought it deserved, instead of letting it all fizzle out."
Now Corr is grateful for the opportunities his Rafters profile has opened up for him - he has been in three projects so far this year, including the sequel to Outback thriller Wolf Creek and mini-series Love Child, which will screen on TV One next year. Asked what kind of career he'd like to look back on, Corr says, "One with integrity, in which I've been in projects I can be proud of, where the story's greater than the sum of its parts and I'm just one of the cogs that have helped make it."
Packed to the Rafters screens Thursdays, 8.30pm, on TV One.

This outdoor dining room proves that humble materials can pull off a high-end look. The backyard transformation began with an installation of a 10- by 30-foot iron pergola. Wisteria was planted, which in time turned into a leafy canopy overhead. To anchor the space, an outdoor fireplace was constructed from cinder blocks lined with fireproof brick and covered in stucco. All the furniture and accessories that decorate the space were chosen to withstand the elements but age gracefully, resulting in an inviting spot for outdoor dining.

LevelDB a fast and lightweight key/value database library by Google
LevelDB is a fast key-value storage library written at Google that provides an ordered mapping from string keys to string values.
- Keys and values are arbitrary byte arrays.
- Data is stored sorted by key.
- Callers can provide a custom comparison function to override the sort order.
- The basic operations are Put(key,value), Get(key), Delete(key).
- Multiple changes can be made in one atomic batch.
- Users can create a transient snapshot to get a consistent view of data.
- Forward and backward iteration is supported over the data.
- Data is automatically compressed using the Snappy compression library.
- External activity (file system operations etc.) is relayed through a virtual interface so users can customize the operating system interactions.
- Detailed documentation about how to use the library is included with the source code.
- This is not a SQL database. It does not have a relational data model, it does not support SQL queries, and it has no support for indexes.
- Only a single process (possibly multi-threaded) can access a particular database at a time.
- There is no client-server support builtin to the library. An application that needs such support will have to wrap their own server around the library.
Here is a performance report (with explanations) from the run of the included db_bench program. The results are somewhat noisy, but should be enough to get a ballpark performance estimate.
We use a database with a million entries. Each entry has a 16 byte key, and a 100 byte value. Values used by the benchmark compress to about half their original size.
LevelDB: version 1.1 Date: Sun May 1 12:11:26 2011 CPU: 4 x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz CPUCache: 4096 KB Keys: 16 bytes each Values: 100 bytes each (50 bytes after compression) Entries: 1000000 Raw Size: 110.6 MB (estimated) File Size: 62.9 MB (estimated)
Write performance
The "fill" benchmarks create a brand new database, in either sequential, or random order. The "fillsync" benchmark flushes data from the operating system to the disk after every operation; the other write operations leave the data sitting in the operating system buffer cache for a while. The "overwrite" benchmark does random writes that update existing keys in the database.
fillseq : 1.765 micros/op; 62.7 MB/s fillsync : 268.409 micros/op; 0.4 MB/s (10000 ops) fillrandom : 2.460 micros/op; 45.0 MB/s overwrite : 2.380 micros/op; 46.5 MB/s
Each "op" above corresponds to a write of a single key/value pair. I.e., a random write benchmark goes at approximately 400,000 writes per second.
Each "fillsync" operation costs much less (0.3 millisecond) than a disk seek (typically 10 milliseconds). We suspect that this is because the hard disk itself is buffering the update in its memory and responding before the data has been written to the platter. This may or may not be safe based on whether or not the hard disk has enough power to save its memory in the event of a power failure.
Read performance
We list the performance of reading sequentially in both the forward and reverse direction, and also the performance of a random lookup. Note that the database created by the benchmark is quite small. Therefore the report characterizes the performance of leveldb when the working set fits in memory. The cost of reading a piece of data that is not present in the operating system buffer cache will be dominated by the one or two disk seeks needed to fetch the data from disk. Write performance will be mostly unaffected by whether or not the working set fits in memory.
readrandom : 16.677 micros/op; (approximately 60,000 reads per second) readseq : 0.476 micros/op; 232.3 MB/s readreverse : 0.724 micros/op; 152.9 MB/s
LevelDB compacts its underlying storage data in the background to improve read performance. The results listed above were done immediately after a lot of random writes. The results after compactions (which are usually triggered automatically) are better.
readrandom : 11.602 micros/op; (approximately 85,000 reads per second) readseq : 0.423 micros/op; 261.8 MB/s readreverse : 0.663 micros/op; 166.9 MB/s
Some of the high cost of reads comes from repeated decompression of blocks read from disk. If we supply enough cache to the leveldb so it can hold the uncompressed blocks in memory, the read performance improves again:
readrandom : 9.775 micros/op; (approximately 100,000 reads per second before compaction) readrandom : 5.215 micros/op; (approximately 190,000 reads per second after compaction)

My wife decided that my old bee suit was beyond use and threw it away, I was devastated, that suit served me well for years, the veil was bent out of shape and the knees were worne almost through, it was no longer white, but more of a brown color. I am sure all my bees will die now as my lucky suit is gone...
But alas it was time to find a new one and having been familiar with Sheriff suits, as I have one as a spare, I started looking at fencing style suits... I didn't want plain white so I came across Jawadis out of Florida. The price is great, full body suit with gloves for 70.00 plus 12.00 shipping. I ordered the wrong size and they replied quickly to my email and accepted the return and sent out a larger size. The quality of the suit it's self is great, comparable to what I would expect from some of the bee supply houses. The veil is larger then it needs to be and does not hold a good shape like a Sheriff does, but this is not a 200.00 suit so that doesn't matter to me.
I wanted blue and the closest thing they had was purple which looked kinda blue on the website, but on arrival it is quite purple, so I will look a little funny, but overall I am happy with it. Maybe I will paint my hives to match.
Overall a great suit for the price, and the customer service was great. They are made in Pakistan however. But Pakistanis need jobs too.

County Council is still trying to decide what to do with the historic jail in Lancaster – a building a structural engineer has told the county could collapse at almost any time if measures aren't taken to repair its damaged roof.
The estimated cost to repair the historic jail, which was designed by famed Charleston-born architect Robert Mills and built in 1923, is $205,766. Council learned of the problems with the building about a month ago.
Council members suggested several possibilities for what to do with the building at its meeting Tuesday.
Last December, student athletes from Lancaster High School gathered for a first of its kind event in Lancaster County.
With help from the Bruins Booster Club and community volunteers, 63 student athletes served Christmas dinner and gave gifts to area families in need in the LHS cafeteria.
The students also provided gifts and opportunities for pictures with Santa for the families, and children from The Children's Home. The event was called Operation Blue and Gold, in reference to the school's initiative of giving back to the community.
Lancaster Motor Speedway returns to racing action Saturday night with eight exciting divisions of racing and fireworks.
Here's a breakdown on the upcoming dirt duels.
Limited Late Models
Chad Paxton has been dominating the Limited Late Model Division at Lancaster Speedway, but a track veteran is returning Saturday night to try and end Paxton's streak.
Three years ago when Steven Neff, the former Lancaster High and Lancaster Post 31 Legion baseball star, was pondering his baseball future, he had two thoughts in mind.
Neff was a 26h round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates out of LHS. The southpaw ace, the 2007 S.C. Gatorade Player of the Year, had hoped for a higher draft selection. He figured the chance to play in an established college baseball program, like South Carolina, might enhance his future draft status.
Then, there was another chain of thought, one on his mind as a youngster.
Rhonda Oliver hoped Tuesday night would mark the end of her neighborhood's year-long battle to have its roads accepted by the county.
She was one of many residents from Indian Land's Glen Laurel neighborhood to pack Lancaster County Council's meeting Tuesday night.
Oliver asked council to accept her neighborhood's roads and incorporate them into the county system.
"When I moved to Glen Laurel, I was told that county roads would be my roads," Oliver said. "I would like us to now be on that list."
The July 4 holiday is summer entertaining at its best.
We pack the picnic basket and head out to relax with family and friends or light the grill and invite them over for an Independence Day celebration.
Given that, we don't want to stay in the kitchen with the oven turned on any longer than we have to. And if we are outside, we want something that's going to be refreshing and cool.
With abundant sunshine and high temperatures forecast near 90 degrees in the extended forecast on Saturday and Sunday, cool, shady spots are going to be in demand.
After reading "More Food Choices for Students at Lunch" in the June 4 edition of The Lancaster News, I decided to log in to the newspaper's Web site. I wanted to see if there were any reader comments on the announcement that the school district director of food services and the president of the school board were pleased and proud to add Philly cheese steaks and chicken wings to the school lunch menu for next year.
Susan Johnson's June 13 letter, "Judicial system has to follow through," is factually incorrect.
She states that the solicitor said the person arrested for dealing drugs was never prosecuted. The solicitor is a part of the executive branch of government – not judicial. Whether or not to prosecute a case is in the sole discretion of the elected solicitor – not the judge.
We can picture the scene when veteran Lancaster City Councilman John Howard shook his head and said, "I think I'm in the twilight zone." Howard often quips at council meetings, and he's never been a council member to mince words.
And when he wondered if he was in some netherworld at the June 3 special City Council budget meeting, he did so for good reason. The majority on council had just voted to tap into the city's reserve funds to give employees a 2 percent raise.
President Barack Obama must have spent summers working in an Alaskan fishery. Experts tell me that it does not take long before the constant daylight begins to affect your performance and judgment. Otherwise, why am I still fuming that Obama's first official act was to order the close of Guantanamo Bay to ensure terrorists' rights were not violated.
GITMO prison guards surely were surprised to awaken from sleep and find that all the cells were empty. Obama let most of them go back home so they can once again work to destroy America.

Cost: Free
Call: Epilogue at 879-2665 or Off the Beaten Path at 879-6830
Steamboat Springs The book opens like this:
H.A. Levin is in a pasture near Steamboat Lake. A female horse approaches him, circling Levin in a way that makes him think the mare has a message. In the book, that message is that horses have thoughts, and that freedom and hope for the future are often on their minds.
His new book, "A History of Horses Told By Horses," includes Levin's conversations with equine communicators from across the United States, England, France, Austria and Australia.
"I've been around the world with hundred of horses, and I've bought a ton of carrots to trade for their tales," Levin said. A Steamboat Springs resident since 1977, Levin has spent seven years volunteering at the Humble Ranch Education & Therapy Center, and in recent years, he has spent much of his time learning to communicate with animals.
"I spend a lot of time in nature with animals, just trying to develop my ability," Levin said. "And it's not exclusive to me - anybody can communicate with animals, you just have to be in the moment."
During his time with horses from all walks of life, Levin decided the species is inherently bothered by human violence, and the animals hope to empower people - especially women - to work for peace and love, he said.
"They all have their take on humanity and how they can help us heal," Levin said.
"A History of Horses Told By Horses" is the first in a series of books Levin plans to write about animal communication, he said. Elephants are next on the list, followed by transcribed tales from dolphins, whales, cats and dogs.
Levin didn't set out to talk to the animals, but he thinks the practice can help people help themselves.
"It wasn't my idea," he said about that first conversation with a horse in North Routt. "The horses had been approaching me for 20 years before I was open enough in my heart to hear their voices."

Have a good day everyone.
How can I forget Anael and D_D? Yes, smaller packets will go abroad, but it will happen...outside the USA...'cause good will and cheer extends beyond the USA borders in this PC ride.
JeanieG you have a lovely twin set of blocks and they look wonderful... and you showed us all the blocks. wonderful. Not everyone has done that this time.
Hi everyone,
we we have had the most bizarre week. The weather has been brutal, tons of snow, 100km winds which turned the snow drifts to cement. My dil had minor complications with her surgery so she is recovering more slowly than we had hoped. A few days ago we had -50 C temps. Today a Chinook is blowing in at about 80 km and the temps will be above zero. We will need to get the hip waders out.
We are surviving. Both the girls had strep throat, my sons car would not go in the cold even tho he had plugged it in. Oh the joys of winter. We haven't even thought about Christmas.
I am am getting a bit of hand sewing done so I haven't gone into withdrawal.
Hope this find everybody doing well
WOW QNS, I'm speechless! I know how expensive it is sending packages abroad from the US. Thanks so very much
Janie, - 50C. I can't even begin to imagine how cold that is! Brutal indeed I'm glad it's not freezing here right now and if, only a few degrees below zero. It has been worse and it will get colder but I'm happy with what it is now.
Back to quilting, I found a design on youtube I like.
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat

The Council of Europe will not ban Jewish ritual circumcision of boys, Council Secretary General Thorbjorn Jagland assured members of the Conference of European Rabbis.
Jagland said Monday in Berlin that he wanted to make it "absolutely clear… that in no way does the Council of Europe want to ban the circumcision of boys. It is a very important part of Judaism and of Jewish life." He spoke during a news conference with rabbinical leaders as part of the conference's annual convention.
Referring to a non-binding, anti-circumcision resolution passed last month by the council's Parliamentary Assembly, Jagland said no European Union member country had actually banned the practice. "We have an obligation to protect it" on behalf of freedom of religion, he added.
In recent years, ritual circumcision of boys and ritual slaughter of animals have come under attack in Europe, particularly by right-wing populist political movements.
It is Muslims, not Jews, who are the main target of these attacks, noted Conference of European Rabbis head Pinchas Goldschmidt, chief rabbi of Moscow, in an address to nearly 250 member rabbis at a gala dinner at the Jewish Museum Monday.
But "European Jewry is… the 'collateral damage' in this anti-Muslim offensive," he said.
Stephan Kramer, secretary general of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, told JTA he would like to know "what [Jagland] is doing, tacheles," to protect religious freedom in Europe – and he offered to help.
Meanwhile, the Conference of European Rabbis is moving forward with its program to help European Jews find a mohel, or ritual circumciser, online.
Vienna Rabbi Shlomo Hofmeister told JTA that the Conference of European Rabbis' Union of Mohelim in Europe will go online within days. Orthodox mohels who meet stringent medical requirements will be listed there and parents will be able to contact them through the site. Mohels may not charge a fee for performing a brit milah, but may ask parents for compensation for travel and lodging, Hofmeister said. The website, whose address has not yet been announced, will also provide legal advice to mohelim.

"The low cost of wind power and how it softens the Eskom price impact"
We heard mining and agriculture telling NERSA of job losses and South Africa becoming uncompetitive. At the other end of the spectrum we heard about quadriplegics requiring electricity to assist them in breathing at night. We all need electricity, and we need it at an affordable rate.
The NERSA hearings and the submissions it garnered were very informative for wind energy and the role of IPP's, especially when we consider that the second round of the REIPPP procurement process saw average levelised prices for wind being bid at 89c/kWh. This the latest price for new wind power.
As against this, estimates for nominal new Eskom coal power range from NERSA's own 97c/kWh to Standard Bank's estimate that Kusile will cost ZAR1,38/kWh in 2019, when it is commissioned. The entire spectrum of estimated Eskom new coal cost thus falls above the actual cost for new wind power, and the inescapable conclusion is that the more wind power we build, the more money we save.
Add to this the University of Pretoria's report of 2012 estimating the externalities of Kusile at between ZAR 0,97 and ZAR 1,88/kWh (health impacts, water, climate change impacts, mining impacts) and it is clear that wind power's real cost to the broader economy is about a half or a third of the cost of the power that Kusile will produce (see http://www.greenpeace.org/africa/Global/africa/publications/coal/FULL%20SCIENTIFIC%20PAPER%20139%20pages.pdf)
Within this context it is very disappointing to have to conclude that renewables have been harmed by the MYPD3 application – wind power also. How could this have happened?
Eskom states in the MYPD3 that it is asking for a 16% rise in tariff annually and that 3% of the 16% is due to the fact that it has to pay for IPP power. Various speakers and commentators have erroneously equated "IPP's" with "renewables", and the message that has reached the public is that renewables "subsidisation" is the reason why Eskom must charge 3% of the 16%. As one example, Brian Kantor and David Holland equate these erroneously, while the BUSA submission contained the same error. Indeed, I have heard of colleagues attending the World Economic Forum at Davos that even there, it was said that the introductipon of renewable energy in SA is causing a 3% increase in the power price.
In truth "IPP power" consists primarily of two very different categories of power. The first is the peaker plants – open cycle gas turbines that according to the MYPD will produce approximately 400 GWhs/annum at the extraordinary cost of ZAR 6,93/kWh (for cost see MYPD3 Table 55 p 136 - 13,34 billion; for generation See Table 17, page 63 - 1,926 GWhs over the five year period). The second category is renewable energy, primarily wind power and solar PV, which in the second round of REIPPP procurement was procured at a weighted average cost of about ZAR 1,12/kWh. It is thus clear that the bulk of the so-called "IPP cost" is due to non renewable energy - but that due to the way the MYPD was written, renewables have been blamed for the aggregate effect.
Even beyond this elephant in the room, there is a second logical error in asserting that renewables are responsible for a certain portion of the Eskom price increase. This is that Eskom in saying so is comparing new power to the absence of power and assuming the latter to cost nothing. Indeed, according to NIRP3 the cost of the unmet electricity demand in 2008 was ZAR 75/kWh – about 84 times more than the cost of new wind power. Eskom is assuming this to be zero (because in the absence of buying renewables SA Inc would be without the power) and then blaming renewables for the cost. What it should have done was to say what it would have cost for Eskom to build the new power themselves (presumably about ZAR 1,38/kWh) and compared that with what it costs to buy from IPP's (ZAR 0,89 for wind). In such a case it would have been abundantly clear that wind power saves the consumer money.
A third reason why the Eskom analysis is erroneous is because it fails to account for or mention the social and enterprise development spend that the renewables industry undertakes - but other generators do not. In terms of the "rules of the game", any renewables IPP wanting to bid under the REIPPP must ensure 3-5% of ownership for local communities. This is an excellent initiative but needs to be financed. Further, 1 - 1.5% of turnover must be spent on socio economic development, preferably within the immediate radius of the project (usually rural areas). A further 0.6% of turn over must be spent on enterprise development – most often this will target education and skills development. These amounts become very significant over the project lifetime and are likely to make a strong contribution towards community upliftment, job creation and social development. As an example, a community trust in the later years of a large wind farm project might earn dividends in excess of ZAR 20 million per annum.
The members of the renewables community are naturally extremely upset by the erroneous message that has emerged regarding renewables through the MYPD3. There is indeed a line of thinking that asserts that the confusion has been wholly intentional on the part of Eskom. The theory goes that Eskom above all else is intent on recovering its monopoly position in the market – for this reason the implicit yet erroneous line saying "you can have IPP's, but it's going to cost you." For this reason the utility's insistence to model a scenario where they build 100% of all power going forward and for this reason their insistence on building an investment grade credit rating at the expense of the sovereign rating – it would create the situation where in 5 – 7 years, only Eskom can build new generation assets.
While the level of frustration amongst renewable energy proponents is understandable, one has to give Eskom the benefit of the doubt. Ever since applying for the World Bank loan to co-finance its new-build and attracting criticism for its lack of renewables, Eskom has repeatedly stressed its commitment to renewable energy. Its lumping together of IPP's in its revenue application was clumsy but probably not malicious – as was the cost comparison of new energy procured from IPP's with doing noting and starving the economy of the power.
On 19 December 2012, a Ministerial determination was gazetted that places the entire responsibility for building about 10,000 MW's of power of various kinds (renewable and otherwise) on the shoulders of Independent Power Producers. This implies that the die is cast – a fundamental decision has been made to involve IPP's in the future of the South African economy. We needn't have the debate any more - IPP's are here to stay. In the case of wind IPP's, the benefits to the electricity consumer and the country at large are likely to be very significant.

Shopping for After-Holiday Bargains
by Michelle Jones

|Make the Most of After-Christmas Sales
I first learned about this great money-saving tip last summer while having a chat with another t-ball mom, and we were just talking about family camping, of all things. The tip she gave me was about purchasing inexpensive holiday tablecloths, after the holidays. You see, after each of the major holidays, theme decorated tablecloths are marked down drastically to make room for the next holiday's items. As you can imagine, this bargain shopping idea will pay off year after year.
By the way, she said those cheap tablecloths are also great for camping because if they get messed up you haven't really lost any money. You can even use them for a mat on the ground as well as their intended use, which is to brighten up dinner tables (or in this case, picnic tables). I thought her tip was just brilliant because many of us don't invest in holiday decorations but would love to if we could get them for a good bargain.
We probably talked about those cheap tablecloths for 20 minutes, discussing back and forth which holidays would be best to get them. I hope to see her again soon so I can tell her what other great holiday bargains I've found since our little chat.
Like many of you, I've always shopped after-Christmas sales for bargain decorations and gifts, but I have to admit that I was often overlooking the other holidays such as Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day. Not to mention St. Patrick's Day, Easter, 4th of July and others.
At the time of this writing, Valentine's Day has just passed and my oldest daughter and I recently made a trip to Target to exchange a pair of shoes for my two year old that didn't fit properly. (Never put off taking something back if it doesn't fit!) And, not only did we find shoes that were a perfect fit and should hopefully last throughout the summer, we also stumbled upon another great after-holiday bargain, one completely unexpected.
As we entered the store and headed straight for the shoe section, we walked right past the older girls clothing section, just by chance. Something with red hearts caught my attention. I stopped to see what the items were, but first noticed that there was a big sign above the rack that read "70% Off!" Then our eyes scanned downward and we saw what was for sale at such a great bargain. We found adorable heart pajamas, with two pairs being her exact size.
I had just been thinking earlier this month that I would like to buy my daughter some new pajamas, since her last ones no longer fit. But, since they only fit her for a year or two anyway, I really hate to "waste" money like that. After all, she does have several extra large t-shirts she's had for years that make great sleep shirts, so it's not like she really needs them.
Yet, they were so pretty and practically being given away for free! So I bought her both sets and told her "Happy Birthday!" At 70% off, this after-holiday bargain fit into our family budget just fine and I'm sure we'll be able to come up with something new for her birthday in August, but I always mention the next gift-giving holiday just in case.
Now I'm getting anxious to see what will be on sale after Easter, but I think I'll go shopping alone this time!

Gods Spiritual Weather Report Coming for all Civilization
Book by: Timesoftrouble
Status: Finished
Genre: Religion and Spirituality
Chapter1 (v.1) - Gods Spiritual Weather Report Coming for all Civilization
God does indeed work in many mysterious ways which only those with His Spirit can understand because there are great plans involved which can only be seen by those within His Spiritual Realm.
Therefore we have learned to take the bad with the good as in having no difference because there is a reason for all things for those who base their life on faith; and the only way to have a true faith in God comes from believing His every written word with no doubts, confusion or disbelief in any way; and according to God through His pure words in the Holy Bible as written in (Psalms 12:6), there are none, no, not one as written in (Psalms 14:2-3) out near seven billion on this planet that please our creator.
And what I just spoke comes from the words of God that over three billion believers refuse to believe while at the same time placing themselves as saved and self-righteous even though their creator tells them something over and over and over which they all completely reject. So just who is a saint of God?
Any of certain persons of exceptional holiness of life, formally recognized as such by the Christian Church, especially by canonization or a person of great holiness, virtue, or benevolence is just a brief description of a saint.
So being but only one example of God's many words on believers, what exactly does He speak?
"Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. (Job 15:15)
So what does God do? How can God possibly make His truth known to a world which believes only what their spirit in man allows them? (1 Corinthians 2) How can God define the prince and power of the air (Ephesians 2:2) being the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4} through his extremely powerful psychological powers which have always fed all minds whatever he chooses for them to absorb with comfort and false security?
Just how can God possibly warn an entire world of believers and non-believers of their own coming destiny?
Because we all on earth have a mind with a conscious accompanied with a sub conscious that unknowingly absorbs and retains all that is has been fed until what is needed returns to our conscious memory; and God has been preparing me through the past five years to write the now completed book with the following title being exactly what the content offers all civilization everywhere on this planet.
"Message for This Entire Human Race"
In my email today were these words;
"Dear Jeff,
Everything with your manuscript looks to be in order.
At this time, I need you to sign off on the manuscript so that we can proceed with the book layout, also known as the text block.
I am sending the manuscript back to you together with our sign-off form. Please re-name the manuscript file and include GTG (good to go) at the end of the file name. Please send the re-named manuscript and the executed sign-off form, which you should name with your manuscript title and include SO at the end of the file name, back to me.
Your manuscript will go into text block production shortly after I receive these documents back from you, at which time I will connect you with the Print Manager who will be handling the layout of your book.
I look forward to hearing from you and receiving the required documents. Thank you.
Best regards,
Vice President, Editing and Print Production
Now just so all can understand something very important. Once again take careful notice of my God inspired book title "Message for This Entire Human Race" which consists of 460 pages and 25 chapters that have taken me a year to write with a previous 5 year preparation while never being fully satisfied because I have thousands of pages full of words that all on earth need to know now before it's too late (Proverbs 1:22-32) while knowing that there are just uncountable publishers worldwide with most being very small in their ability to distribute literature worldwide; But being that God knows all things and works in no small ways concerning His plan to bring some truth upon a world of darkness, read these following words regarding the publisher of my book for this entire worlds civilization.
"New Distribution Channels Acquired at BEA"
One of our many accomplishments while at Book Expo America was the acquisition of new distribution channels for all of our published works to two new countries - South Africa and Norway. The arrangement with The Nielson Company again adds to our growing and diverse global distribution network.
Also at BEA, we hosted a table in the International Rights Center Pavilion for a series of meetings focused on global rights' sales. Deals are already in place in China, Korea and Taiwan, among others. SBPRA met with several prominent Russian publishing companies, in advance of the company's participation at the Moscow International Book Fair later this year. "Russia is, without a doubt, the next China in terms of growing demand for print and e-books," says SBPRA CEO Robert Fletcher.(SBPRA is my publisher).
For more info go to Book Expo of America
What God did over 5 1/2 years ago was place me on the other side of the world from America while being in spiritual chains for becoming not of this world psychologically so as to see this world's civilization in the same way that He as God Almighty our creator sees, and through the process I have been spiritually murdered (1 John 3:14-18, 4:7-8) daily by a world of loving brothers and sisters along with all those who have no belief in God making believers and non-believers no different when truth regarding their own actions and destiny becomes involved; other than few whom God chose to help my wife and I survive many very difficult times through these years past, and because of their genuine love with actions beyond the lips, these following words have a very great importance to all on earth. . .
"Everything in the world is about to be wrapped up, so take nothing for granted. Stay wide-awake in prayer. Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything. Be quick to give a meal to the hungry, a bed to the homeless—cheerfully. Be generous with the different things God gave you, passing them around so all get in on it: if words, let it be God's words; if help, let it be God's hearty help. That way, God's bright presence will be evident in everything through Jesus, and he'll get all the credit as the One mighty in everything—encores to the end of time. (1 Peter 4:8)-(Message)
Because five months ago God took me from the hardships of poverty while living for years in ways through having to make great efforts at just repaying 1000 peso survival loans ($20} at 20% interest through placing me within a job that paid me over 300,000 peso a month just so that I could pay my book contract publishing fee, see the world once again while being back within it, and to purchase an acre lot for my wife and I to continue living our very simple life; God then had me discharged from employment only so that I once again had time so I could self-edit my book with no fees to be paid while being back into a life with zero self-income only so I can continue writing as many books for this world as God's spiritual weather report directs which none, no, not one person on this planet is fully aware of according to God's own words which none fully believe; and my book inspired by God's Spirit makes very clear all of the questions why which none know, believe or understand.
Following is my publishing contract.
When you achieve sales of your first 1000 books we will pay you a $1000 bonus and subsequent books by you will be published at no charge. Thus, you can really consider this a "no cost" option. The joint venture program allows you to go from your manuscript straight to a professionally printed book as quickly as possible.

When my book written for all on earth becomes published mainly for the sub-conscious of the many of this world walking and living in the broad roads of life which lead to their temporary destruction; it's because there are but few in the narrow way who will receive God's mercy and protection, and I will make known my website for all who desire only true education without all the lies of man which have brought this world's civilization towards their own gruesome end as destiny which has already happened according to God as the only witness who tells all through His words of prophecy that none, no, not one believes; and all because they have trusted in man when the creator says. . .
"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. "Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. (Psalms 118:8, 33:18-19)-(KJV)
May God be with you all as the only way to prepare for the worst 'timesoftrouble' which have ever before been on this planet Earth.

You are herecontent / Tim DeChristopher Moved to Solitary Confinement
Tim DeChristopher Moved to Solitary Confinement
Here's why.
Here's what to do:
In response to Tim's transfer into isolated confinement, we're asking you to please take a few moments to call the following contacts (or whomever you have time to call from this list) and ask that:
"Tim DeChristopher inmate #16156-081 be immediately removed from the Special Housing Unit (SHU) and placed back in the Minimum Security Camp at FCI Herlong."
If you'd like to say more, here are a few key talking points we suggest:
- Moving Tim DeChristopher to SHU based on the complaint of an unidentified Congressman doesn't make sense. Why is Congress intervening in one inmates detention status, anyway?
- Keeping inmates in isolated confinement for an indefinite amount of time awaiting a hearing is not humane and is not acceptable.
- *FOR CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS* If they are your congressperson, tell them about the situation, [read here] and ask them if they know who ordered the transfer, and that you'd like them to take a look into it and get back to you promptly. Ask them why Congress is taking such an interest in the emails of one inmate. Tell them that Tim is a nonviolent offender who was wrongly charged and convicted to begin with, and was placed in a minimum security camp because he posed no threat to anyone. If you have time, mention that an oil and gas company owned by William Koch was recently found to have conspired to defeat a BLM oil and gas lease auction, but was merely fined, while Tim sits in isolated confinement after being charged with two felonies. If you call Jason Chaffetz, ask him to launch an investigation in his oversight committee.
** Please be respectful and polite when making phone calls. Outrage is appropriate, but remember that we are dealing with other human beings.

Discussion in 'Lifted & Offroad Suspension' started by stockchevy1983, Aug 16, 2007.
what is the bolt pattern for the 1998 gmc yukon 2wd?
What pattern?
Rear end?
We need just a little more info?
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
u know bolt pattern, my s10 is 5 lug with 4 3/4 bolt pattern. what comes on these trucks. mines a 5 lug with the 5.7 and why do u need to know intake? i have a cold air intake and i dont know what rear, its 2wd
more info
gmc yukon it´s like a tahoe?
or what model?
this is the truck, 1998 gmc yukon sle
6/5.5 or 5/5
GM used the 6 lug 5.5" pattern on 4wd after around 1971, but used 5 lug 5" on the 2wd model up until 1999 I think. The 5/5 was the same that was used on BOP, and Cadillac passenger vehicles.

My happy place is going to the movies in the middle of the day. It feels naughty, like being a truant. At the moment, I'm acting and directing in a number of projects, mainly in the theatre but also in films. Going to a movie means I can completely turn my brain off - just relax and be swept away in a different world for a couple of hours. It's a completely escapist experience. I love it.
I'm surrounded by people all the time in my job. Whether I'm acting or directing or teaching, it's all people, people, people. Going to the movies is a contrast to that. My ideal session would be one where there was nobody else there.
Because I work mostly in the theatre, when I go to a play it feels a bit like work. I love theatre but it's hard for me to turn off the analytical side. But because films are so naturalistic I can get swept up in it and forget people are acting.
I went to a lot of films as a kid growing up in the Hutt. I remember going to the first Star Wars with my father at the Cinerama theatre in Courtenay Place and being blown away.
I must have been about 12, and I thought about it for years and years. I think that idea of going into an imaginary world influenced my choice of career. It's still one of my favourite films.
I love extremely well-acted and directed films. Some of my top films are Goodfellas and Apocalypse Now - gritty films with extraordinary actors and auteur directors. I also like art-house, like a German film called Barbara that was on recently. It was very slow and austere but wonderful and transfixing.
I also love the horror genre - that can be as shlocky as anything. And I like high-budget, full-on, unashamed blockbusters, like Iron Man 3 or Star Trek. And anything with John Hurt or Charlotte Rampling in it - they're wonderful actors.
I like the Academy in the city, or the Capitol in Balmoral or the Bridgeway in Northcote - it feels like an event to go to those. There's such care taken with them and the people who run them really love films, are very enthusiastic and play the offbeat and interesting ones. But if I want to see a blockbuster I'll go to the multiplexes, and I love that, too.

And now it is payback time...
Allied General lets you play the original Panzer General in reverse, which means that the player gets to fight off the Nazi horde instead of helping them on the road to world conquest. You have three choices of which team to play on. Play the British and start in Egypt, where your goal is to stop General Erwin Rommel from attacking Cairo and seizing the Suez Canal. You'll advance from there to Italy and then to France. If you choose the United States, you will land in Morocco in November 1942 as a green, inexperienced force just off the boat from New York. Do well and you'll watch that force become the army of a future superpower, moving from North Africa to Italy to the legion that sweeps ashore at Normandy and then drives on across Western Europe to the Elbe, or possibly even Berlin itself. You also have the chance to play the nefarious Soviets, from a sort of prologue battle in 1940 Finland to the desperate defence from the Germans in 1941. Provided Moscow does not fall in 1941 and Stalingrad does not fall in 1942, your armies will have the opportunity to throw the Germans out of Russia and back into Eastern Europe.
Gameplay is remarkably the
same as Panzer General. Pieces move by a simple point-and-click interface
with corresponding sound-effects. As always, there are animations of war which
may entertain or simply slow down the game, depending on one's opinion. Either
way, they can be turned off. The desktop of the game is slightly changed from
the earlier model with the toolbar buttons on the opposite side of the screen.
There are also pop-up menus that can be accessed at the top of the screen.
As one might imagine, the game itself is set on a map with elegantly drawn topographical details. The area is divided into hexes where each piece can sit and the game is turn-based. No realtime strategy here; you can plan your moves like in chess. This game is very pretty and there is just something that never fails to excite the history buff about seeing the doomed city of Berlin with an enormous Soviet force just thirty miles distant.
Allied General's only flaw is that it is simply too much like its predecessor, Panzer General. If you liked the original, you will definitely enjoy the sequel. If you want something slightly different and innovative, your best bet would be to go for SSI's Steel Panthers or its sequel which is to be released sometime next month. Either way, this is a very enjoyable game and shoul bring many hours of enjoyment. The multimedia videos that precede every campaign and scenario are also fun to watch as well.

No matter who eventually triumphs in the legal stoush between
Between them, Fortescue, BHP, Rio and the National Competition Council have already run up bills in the tens of millions of dollars – and the dispute still looks set to run for many years to come.
Well-placed sources claim BHP has shelled out more than $20 million over the past four years to its legal eagles, who include a team from law firm Blake Dawson led by Stephen Ridgeway as well as Melbourne barrister Alan Archibald QC.
By comparison, Fortescue is believed to have handed over a far more modest $5 million to its lawyers, who include Jonathan Beech QC, Simon Marks SC, and a team from law firm DLA Phillips Fox led by Simon Uthmeyer.
There is less clarity on how much Rio has been forced to pay to its legal team, which includes Neil Young QC and a team from Allens Arthur Robinson led by partner Craig Phillips.
But sources say Rio is unlikely to have spent anywhere near the amount of BHP, with one observer pointing out: "BHP has filed three times the volume of evidence that Rio has filed. People have therefore drawn the conclusion that BHP is running a gold-plated case. Rio has been far more strategic."
The fourth voice in this far-reaching legal stoush is the National Competition Council, which has been represented to date by a team from Clayton Utz led by Katrina Groshinski as well as Melbourne barrister Charles Scerri QC. However, Mr Scerri is believed to have injured his back, and the council's case is now expected to be taken up by the Solicitor-General Stephen Gageler.
So far, the legal battle has taken the lawyers to the full court of the Federal Court as well as to the High Court, where they argued over what was effectively a jurisdictional issue.
Since arguments on more substantive issues got under way this year, the lawyers have been fighting it out in the Australian Competition Tribunal.
Whatever the tribunal eventually decides next year, the one guarantee is that there will be appeals, and then more appeals, which should take the lawyers back to the full court of the Federal Court and then on to the High Court.
The legal bonanza looks set to run for many years yet.

Teaz got started up in the 90's with the ever expanding German hip hop scene, producing and touring with Doppelkopf, 5 Sterne Deluxe, Deichkind, Einz Zwo, Ferris MC and Gentleman. He is a familiar face in every Hamburger club worth mentioning and played as resident in Hamburg's Schlachthof club with DJ Ben Kenobi.

Hard wired smoke alarm in NYS
(Thought I could get a quick answer without bothering the UL inspector)
I live in New York State. House built in 1982. I am remodeling my first floor, adding new wiring circuit to one room which is being used as a den/computer room. Would I be required to install a hard wired smoke alarm or could I install a battery-operated smoke alarm?
If a hard wired alarm must be installed, I was going to wire it at the end of the circuit. I do realize that I cannot have a GFCI in the circuit between the alarm and the breaker.
ADKstorm, don't you EVER use battery powered smoke alarms! It's not your mp3 player... if there is a fire and it lacks power you'll be deep asleep while burning...
Excause my cruelty but battery smoke alarms (and all battery powered house security systems) are good for camping ONLY and only if you exchange the batteries often enough.
Try calling proffesional house security services and ask the price
Compare the companies, som of the systems arent expensive but sufficient enough to function well in a house.
I am re-wiring my basement in my new house and I am required to install hard-wired smoke detectors throughout the basement. Existing spaces can be battery operated, but I believe if you are doing remodeling work you will be required to make it hard-wired. You will probably also have to install hard-wired smoke detectors throughout the entire area being remodeled where they are required.
Check with your local inspector and ask, in my city they have a hand-out for basement remodels that details what you need to make sure you have done for the inspection, your city may have something similar.
priestess - Although I wouldn't install a strictly battery operated smoke detector (primarily because of the extent of the remodel work I am doing) they are still acceptable for use. Also, every smoke detector I have ever used always beeps when the battery gets low, indicating the battery needs to be changed.
I know they have all certificates (some drugs do too :) but it's just unwise to have them as the only safety measure. The hard wired alarms also have backup batteries but not as the only source of power. Moreover, people usually economise on batteries and still the chaepest batteries can be uncharged from the very beginning or can leak and shortcircut the device so that it wont even make a sound to inform you its uncharging.
Anyway, my mobile also beeps whan its uncharging but I rarely hear it.
I don't say you can't have one - well, anyway thay are sold so you can - but dont feel well protected because you have one. I don't want to argue, but because I've written a few reports (for an insurance company) of the burnt places that were protected by battery devices.
UL doesn't inspect residential installations.
I, too, think priestess is overreacting. It's bad advice. A battery detector works just fine. I wouldn't want anyone to put off smoke detectors because they were waiting until they got around to putting in a hardwire.
That said, code pretty much everywhere requires hardwired dual power now. But if your choice is between battery or nothing, the battery is definitely the way to go.
A) The OP is referring to the "New York Board of Fire Underwriters". They are one of the largest private third-party inspection agencies in the state.
Electricians who use them call the "The Board". Most everyone else, including GC's, DIYers and homeowners incorrectly call them "UL".
I get tired of correcting people on this. :whistling2:
B) The OP is from 2007. I think he is done by now.
For reference I will say that if the room is being renovated and it requires a SD (a den does not) then it must be hard wired.
The full code on this goes deep and can be found online. If anyone is interested.
Just an FYI, around here if this room can be used as a bedroom (if it has a closet) it would be required to have arc fault protection, regardless of what you intend to use the room for. Whether the smoke is on that circuit is more of a local preference. A smoke inside the room and outside in the hallway interconnected with existing.
Speedy Petey works in NYS so he may be able to clarify what your requirements are.
Lol, you beat me to the punch.
My last house had battery smokes for 7 years
Every Apt had battery smokes - 10+ years before that
Yes, OP from 2007 he might be done
Any reason to pull up a post this OLD?? :huh:
Another thread someone pulled up from 5 years ago :laughing:

Bruce Willis Marries Emma Heming
A tropical wedding ceremony was held at the home of Bruce Willis on Parrot Cay on the Turks and Caicos islands in the Caribbean when he wed to model girlfriend Emma Heming on Saturday. A rep for the action star told Us Weekly, "The couple will be having a civil ceremony when they return to California."
It was one big happy family in attendance, with Bruce's daughters in attendance, along with his ex-wife Demi Moore and hubby Ashton Kutcher. Oh yes, and let's not forget that Madonna was also there.
Wow. This is really the end of an era.

Arts and Sciences Degree/A.A.
If pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree, six credit-hours of a foreign language at the intermediate level are required. If pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree, foreign language is not required.
Career Opportunities: Currently, biology is the most popular major for students desiring to enter medical school. However, medicine is not the only career path open to students with a biology degree. A degree in biology opens the door to a wide array of career paths. As biotechnology and concern for the environment enter all facets of everyday life, individuals with a background in biology are in demand well beyond the traditional areas of medicine, public health, research, and related fields. Students of biology are now finding opportunities in law, business, the media, and other areas.
Requirements for Graduation
In order to earn an Associate of Arts Degree in Arts and Sciences with a major in Biology, a student must complete a minimum of 60 hours of required and elective course work.

After months of cutting back on debt, consumers and businesses have shown they are once again prepared to borrow.
Finance approvals rose to their highest level in almost two years in August, according to data from the Bureau of Statistics.
Total finance commitments rose 5.2 per cent in August after rising 3.5 per cent in July.
The value of personal finance grew in annual terms for the first time this year, rising 3.8 per cent over the year to August. The strength in commercial finance was more evident, with approvals up 33 per cent compared with last year.
While the approvals data is volatile, it does follow a string of recent data that has shown improvement. Most retail sales data for August reported a solid rise and both building approvals and housing finance approvals showed healthy gains. The latest readings of monthly business and consumer confidence improved though are still at low levels.
Minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia October 4 board meeting out today should provide some explanation behind its bias towards easing rather than raising interest rates.
The Reserve Bank will be carefully monitoring any signs that households and businesses are once again borrowing, given the both sectors have dramatically reduced debt in recent years.
Official statistics from the Reserve Bank show that total credit is running at 3 per cent over the year.
Since September 2008, households have reduced the level of personal debt held at banks by 4.1 per cent. On the business side, credit has been falling in annual terms since June 2009.
Weekly petrol price data from the Australian Institute of Petroleum reported the national average Australian price of unleaded petrol rose 0.5¢ per litre to a five-month high of 145.8¢ a litre last week.
Bowser prices have risen each week of October despite the benchmark Singaporean Tapis crude rising just 0.5 per cent over October in Australian dollar terms.
Petrol prices are a key component of consumer price inflation, and the dramatic rise in fuel in September that owed to a depreciation in the currency will feed into September quarter consumer price index that will be released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on Thursday next week.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

We've created a decaffeinated version of our popular Premium Sencha Green Tea that has the mildly vegetal, nutty, and almost grassy flavor of the original but with less than 2 mg of caffeine per cup. Stash Decaf Premium Sencha is naturally decaffeinated using an advanced CO2 method, which takes out almost all the caffeine but leaves the flavor. Decaf Premium Sencha brews a beautiful golden-green cup with a distinctive light flavor and no astringency.
We actively maintain signed statements from our ingredient suppliers stating that all ingredients purchased by Stash Tea Company are gluten-free. We do not use barley malt in any of our blends.
Since 1972, Stash has been dedicated to providing premium quality teas. Our passion for quality teas is unmatched. We source from premier tea gardens, sampling hundreds of teas but selecting only a handful for our customers. We search for unique, often rare - and above all, exceptional - teas to share with you. For our herbal and flavored blends, we buy whole herbs and spices from the world's best sources and, for superior flavor, mill them right before blending.
Suggested Use
To savor the full flavor of our teas, bring fresh water to just below boil. Pour hot water directly over the tea bag in a pre-heated pot or cup. Brew 1-3 minutes or to desired taste. One tea bag makes 8 ounces of hot tea. For iced tea, brew double strength.

The current Municipal Act reads — "A rural municipality may be formed for an area with at least 1,000 residents and a population density of less than 400 residents per square kilometre."
Nowhere in the act does it state existing municipalities must have at least 1,000 residents to operate.
While the 192 government communicators would have you believe the minister of local government can force smaller municipalities to amalgamate, the act does not give the minister the power to force amalgamation.
This government has raised the spectre of forced amalgamations to distract municipalities, including the City of Winnipeg, from the real issues they face. Some of these issues include: balancing a budget each year, planning to meet infrastructure needs and meaningful flood compensation from the deliberate flooding of Lake Manitoba almost two years ago.
This NDP government is attempting to get its way by intimidating municipal leaders. This self-serving bunch is determined to have functional municipalities jump through hoops while it makes up the rules as it goes along.
This is not democracy and it certainly is not responsible government, but it has become the norm in Manitoba.
Surely we can do better.

"We are baseball lovers and have been searching for over two years for the right opportunity in Minor League Baseball," said Frier. "The excellent support the team has enjoyed from the fans of Fort Wayne, as well as the strong front office assembled by owner Andy Appleby and General Manager Mike Nutter, let us know we had found the right team. Andy Appleby and General Sports and Entertainment, LLC, along with the entire Wizards' staff, should be recognized for their tremendous success, both at the stadium and in the community."
Schoen added that, "we were immediately impressed by Fort Wayne. We look at the expansion and success of Memorial Coliseum, the incredible fan support the local sports teams and entertainment venues enjoy and the plan to continue to improve Fort Wayne's downtown, and see an opportunity for continued growth and success with the Wizards organization."
The transaction has the strong backing of the San Diego Padres. According to General Manager and Executive Vice President Kevin Towers, "the shared commitment to excellence made by both the San Diego Padres and the Fort Wayne Wizards over the course of a seven-year affiliation has been a substantial one. The entire Padres' organization has always felt embraced by the Wizards' staff and their ownership group, and the great baseball fans in and around Fort Wayne. We welcome the opportunity to build on this foundation with Chris and Jason, both on the field and in the community, well into the future."
"We are excited about the 2006 season, and it's business as usual in the front office," said Wizards General Manager Mike Nutter. "We anticipate 2006 being one of the best in franchise history and we have the full support of the new ownership group as we move forward. Hardball Capital is committed to, not only continuing the terrific fan experience that the Wizards have provided fans, but to actively improving that experience. As the first of what will be many improvements, the Wizards will be adding a new speed pitch display in right field. This display will be sponsored by Hicksville Bank."
"Fort Wayne has embraced the Wizards since we began managing the team in 1999," said Andy Appleby, Founder and President of General Sports and Entertainment, LLC. "The value and entertainment that the fans of the Wizards have come to expect will continue. We know from our time with them that Chris and Jason are tremendous fans of the game, and we have no doubt that the Fort Wayne community and the San Diego Padres will be well served by Chris, Jason and the Wizards new ownership."
This purchase is subject to the approval of the Midwest League and Minor League Baseball (The National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues), and the review of the Baseball Office of the Commissioner. Hardball Capital and General Sports and Entertainment, LLC will act in concert to see that the necessary approvals are obtained as quickly as possible.

Safety Culture Overview
Central to Alyeska Pipeline's daily business and company culture is employees' commitment to safety.
At Alyeska, every meeting, gathering or major project begins with a safety minute or huddle. No task is launched without employees first assessing and addressing any potential risks. Major safety milestones are celebrated, such as in 2011 when Alyeska and contractor employees logged 10 million hours worked without anyone missing a day of work due to injury.
Alyeska employees and contractors ended 2012 with the best safety and environmental performance on record, marking across-the-board improvements in areas such as process safety, occupational safety performance and vehicle safety.
"Employees should all take pride in this," said Rod Hanson, Director of the Health, Safety & Environment Team. "Through their collective efforts, hard work, and attention to detail, they have demonstrated the results that are possible."
Highlights included:
- Continued improvement in process safety management systems and a reduction in process safety events.
- TAPS' best ever combined (Alyeska & contractor) occupational safety performance.
- Two years in a row without an Alyeska employee OSHA recordable or DAFWC injury.
- A significant improvement in vehicle safety performance.
- A very solid environmental performance record.
"These sorts of HSE performance improvements are not by accident," Hanson said. "These results must be earned."
Every employee on the Trans Alaska Pipeline System has the authority and responsibility to stop work if they feel it cannot be completed safely – from contractors to project managers to executives. At Alyeska, safety is everyone's business.

Do you cover them?
Bain marie?
I just want to tell you that I read this thread last week but as I´m used to research a lot before cooking, I chose another recipe where the cream is heated in stove and then goes to oven in bain-maire (not covered).
Well, now reading it again as my cream brulee did not work (I called it a suffle rather than cream brulee in order not to deceive my guests ) I realized that I have done wrong is exactly what Kuan has corrected before - Heat until like a thick pudding.
I know...I deserved it!!
