return to religion-onlineIslam
Like Christianity, Islam insists on God's sovereign claim on all human beings. This implies that all human rights must be grounded in God's right to sovereignty over human life, dignity, freedom, property and the future.
The image of the stubbornly dogmatic Muslim is as foolish a cliché as it is a fatal one. There can be no peace among nations without peace among religions. Peace is indivisible!
Malaysia is an authentically Muslim state that is religiously and culturally diverse, economically successful, educationally advanced, democratically governed and politically moderate. Thus Christianity might have a peaceful appointment with this kind of Islamic future.
Paul Griffiths discusses the letter Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, wrote to President Bush in the Fall of 2006, and was largely overlooked by the media. The lack of response indicates that in our loyalties, citizenship takes priority over our Christian commitments.
Different religious traditions give various responses to the ecological crises. Dialogue between these traditions not only helps us to live peacefully with the rest of creation but also helps us to live peacefully with people of other faiths. The author examines ecology from the point of view of the Koran (Qur'an ) and Islam.
The God of Islam and the God of the church and synagogue appear to look enough like God to make dialogue possible, but also different enough to make for an interesting conversation.
The author reviews three books, which he describes as "variations on a theme," that being the response of Muslims to the ascendancy of the West and the West's attempt to annex or assimilate the Muslim worldview.
What is the connection between Islam and the events of September 11? The only connection that ever exists between a religious tradition and the actions of believers is the one those believers create in their own minds. In the case of Osama bin Laden and his colleagues, it was the result of impudence and a lack of grounding in the Islamic tradition.
A major figure in the conversations between Christians and Muslims talks about the possibilities of dialogue and the problems that confront Islam in the modern world.
One would presume that if Christians can accept partnership with Jews as worshiping the same God, they should have no insurmountable problems with Muslims, who historically have seen themselves as occupying the theological middle ground between Jews and Christians.
We may think of god differently, believe about God differently, but God listens to the prayers of all people, for God cannot do otherwise. Happily no one has a monopoly on God.
The author discusses differences in the concept of God between Christian and Muslim, but suggests there is enough in common to make a productive comparison.
The author writes of similar descriptions of God for Christians and Muslims, and concludes that they are not always as similar as they may at first appear.
Muslims and Christians both agree that it is the one God about whom they differ so strongly, yet they are within range of each other so that they may engage in mutual scrutiny.
Many Muslims around the world are unimpressed by presidential speeches extolling our virtues as freedom-loving, peaceful people. They see U.S. support for many repressive regimes. They see the pervasive influence of hedonistic Western culture on their traditional societies. Add in the frustration over the plight of the Palestinians and of civilians in Iraq and you've got a volatile mix.
The Regensburg lecture of Pope Benedict XVI is critiqued by professor Gaffney. An isolated and remote quote about using the sword to spread Islam is contrasted with the many statements similar in the Christian tradition and contextually analyzed.
The author believes that militant Muslims are not accurately labeled as "fundamentalists." Most American Christian fundamentalists are quite nationalistic ("superpatriots"), while Islamic "fundamentalist" violently reject nationalism as a Western virus designed to divide Muslims from each other and pervert their minds.
(ENTIRE BOOK) A collection of essays written by Islamic leaders for Western readers. Chapters describe Islam's origin, ideas, movements and beliefs, and its different manifestations in Africa, Turkey, Pakistan, India, China and Indonesia.
For Muslims, establishing Islamic schools today takes precedence over building mosques. You can have a huge decorative and expensive mosque, but lose your children and end up having no one in the mosque to pray.
After meeting with Muslim scholars the author has a better understanding that in times of uncertainty it may be easier for people to trust a learned religious leader than a democratically elected elite put in place by dubiously motivated political constituencies.
There is a large body of material in both Muslim and Christian sources that supports a public role for religion without making territoriality a condition of faith. Westerners must keep abreast of moderate Muslim counsels.
The author examines evidence of widespread Muslim prejudice against Christians in Pakistan.
The conflict between Christians and Muslims is historic in that it goes back to the times of Muhammad with the Christians of his time. The nature of the conflict unlike in the case of the Jews-Muslim conflict was not political but dogmatic. It concerned the nature of God.
Professor Kimball lays out the basics of Islam:, including the Qur'an, Islam in political context, contemporary Islamic reform, and suggests several helpful books. Too often we are led toward the most sensational and simplistic images of Islam.
An examination of the cross-cultural encounter dramatized in Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses -- and the furor the novel created in the Islamic world and the West.
Three authors give different view about how we are to speak about Islam. Lewis see the Islamics as people alienated from the West. Esposito puts Usama bin Laden and his type on the margins of Islam. Kepel sees Muslim militants as forging coalitions that can alter the balance of power in specific societies.
A study of the strong reaction, particularly in the Islamic world, against Salman Rushdie's novel.
Since 9/11, if the world is to be made safe, moderate Muslims, militant Muslims and Christians must struggle together to make the world a safer place for communities and families who see things differently from one another.
African-Americans have found in Islam a new sense of personal empowerment and a rigorous call to discipline.
The Shi'a's branch of Muslim belief, most prominent in Iran, expects the return of the Mahdi, a savior who, along with Jesus, is expected to bring justice and peace to the world at the end of this age. Because of their respect for Jesus as a great prophet, (though nothing more) there is hope for future dialogue with the Iranians.
(ENTIRE BOOK) A short, concise and helpful explanation of Islam -- its founder, scripture and theology, as well as its presence in the modern world.

Manila (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - The apparent upswing in longstanding relations between the Philippines and the United States is bound to continue in 2013, with both parties hoping to boost ties in the coming year.
In a New Year message, Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Cuisia Jr. said 2012 was a year that saw deepening relations between the two countries, adding that he looked forward to an even more productive new year.
"We continued to exert efforts to widen and deepen relations between the Philippines and the United States on all fronts, including people-to-people ties. As recently noted by a US official, the two countries' relationship is in a 'renaissance,'" said Cuisia in his message posted on the website of the Philippine Embassy in the United States.
He said 2013 bodes well for the Philippines with continuing political and economic reforms under the administration of President Benigno Aquino III.
Critical juncture
"Filipinos have many reasons to welcome 2013 with open arms. The country is at a critical juncture. Under the leadership of President Aquino, the Philippines has undergone a significant transition that establishes a direction of change that will shape our nation for years to come," said Cuisia.
"Reforms in the political and economic arena are bearing fruit and the President's continued high approval ratings are a testament to the people's trust and satisfaction in his administration. I look forward to another fruitful year, one filled with peace and blessings," he added.
US Ambassador to the Philippines Harry Thomas Jr. was also upbeat, expressing his optimism on microblogging site Twitter.
"I want 2013 to be even stronger for US-Philippines alliance. It's going to be a great year," Thomas said.
The United States is among the Philippines' strongest allies and has been supporting government's defence and law enforcement programmes, disaster preparedness, mitigation and response, human rights promotion and antitrafficking initiatives, among others.
In its yearend report, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) credited the Philippines' relations with the US in upgrading the Philippines' military and police forces through new equipment and training.
Partnership with US
"The Department continued to engage its international partners in helping the country improve its defence capability and achieve a minimum credible defence posture. Vital to this engagement is the Philippines' strategic and defence partnership with the United States, which affirmed its commitment to honour its obligation under the Mutual Defence Treaty," said the DFA report.
As the Philippines' leading defence partner, the United States this year doubled its funding commitment from US$15 million to $30 million under its Foreign Military Financing programme. The allocation was programmed to support the Philippines in the areas of "maritime security, maritime domain awareness and humanitarian assistance and disaster response".
The United States is also among the biggest donors to victims of disasters in the Philippines, most recently Typhoon "Pablo", which hit eastern Mindanao.
The US government has pledged nearly 300 million pesos (US$7.2 million) to the Philippines for emergency assistance in hard-hit communities in Compostela Valley, Davao Oriental and Negros Oriental.
The amount is on top of rice supply and transport assistance being provided by the United States Agency for International Development and the US military to Philippine authorities.

The survey responses come from 106 respondents in 90 different companies currently operating in the Indonesian oil and gas sector and therefore can be used to draw credible conclusions about the issues preventing the industry from reaching its full potential. At the IPA Convex we presented findings from this survey to the Indonesian oil and gas industry stakeholders.

Mowing is a violent physical removal of living tissue, causing a severe shock to the grass plant. The shock results primarily from a reduction of the food available to the plant. Grass lives mostly on food manufactured in its leaves rather than drawn up from the roots.
Through the process of photosynthesis, the blades use energy from sunlight to combine carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen into sugar, starches, and fibers. The sugars then combine with soil minerals to make proteins, plant oils, and fat. The soil minerals make up only 5 percent of the solid material in the grass plant. The balance is the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which the blades take from the air. Cut those blades, and you reduce the ability of the plant to manufacture food.
The important point to remember is food manufactured by the leaves is used for both top and root growth. The longer the top growth, the deeper the roots, the shorter you cut your lawn, the less the root will grow. This is very important to the health of your lawn. A plant with deep roots will be better able to withstand drought and fight off diseases. Strong roots also serve to store food that has been manufactured in the leaves. Every time you mow, the grass is torn, and if the mower blade is dull, the mowing creates ports of entry for disease.
Mowing also has its good points and if properly done, it can make a lawn thicker and more weed resistant. Mowing prevents the grass from seeding, but many grasses respond by tillering through the spread of stolans and rhizomes, thus a thicker lawn. Mowing encourages tillering because the blade tips contain chemicals that inhibit the growth of side shoots. This works much like pruning a plant, pinch off the terminal bud, and side shoots grow. Studies show that mowing lawns high not only reduces exposed ground surface greatly discouraging weed seeds from germinating, but promotes a longer root system, less susceptibility to insect invasion, and helps to hold moisture. An important part in a good organic program starts with mowing your lawn at a height of 3 ½ inches and 2 ½ inches for the last cutting in fall to discourage snow mold.
Grass clippings are a good source of free fertilizer and an important part of a low maintenance fertilizing schedule providing up to 1/3 of the nitrogen needed by a lawn. Research has found that clippings begin to decompose within a week after cutting (with nitrogen from the clippings showing up in new the growth), this should dispel the fear that leaving the clippings on the lawn will lead to thatch. Therefore an organic managed lawn will recycle grass clippings back on the lawn. Chemical fertilizers slow the activity of decomposers- earthworms, bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms- and can stall the breakdown of clippings causing thatch.
Follow the basic rule of not cutting more that 1/3 of the height of the lawn, approximately 5 to 7 days in spring and up to 14 days during periods of summer drought .Grass cutting will leave a clean lawn year round as long as you follow this rule. During early spring periods of extreme wet, the lawn might not be cut as clean as normal.

Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring. 5 All this is evidence that God's judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.
-2 Thessalonians 1:4-5
The Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you. - 1 THESSALONIANS 3:12
IF we love God, we know what loving is,
For love is God's, He sent it to the earth,
Half-human, half-divine, all glorious!--
Half-human, half-divine, but wholly His;
Not loving God, we know not love's true worth,
We taste not the great gift He gave to us.
LET us see that whenever we have failed to be loving, we have also failed to be wise; that whenever we have been blind to our neighbors' interests, we have also been blind to our own; whenever we have hurt others, we have hurt ourselves still more. Let us, at this blessed Whitsuntide, ask forgiveness of God for all acts of malice and uncharitableness, blindness and hardness of heart; and pray for the spirit of true charity, which alone is true wisdom. And let us come to Holy Communion in charity with each other and with all; determined henceforth to feel for each other, and with each other; to put ourselves in our neighbors' places; to see with their eyes, and to feel with their hearts, so far as God shall give us that great grace; determined to make allowances for their mistakes and failings; to give and forgive, even as God gives and forgives, for ever; that so we may be indeed the children of our Father in heaven, whose name is Love.
This is a public domain version of Joy and Strength.

The Mosaic Law was not given to produce salvation. The purpose of the Law was to help people see how far short they had fallen of God's righteous demands so they would cast themselves on the grace of God.
Even during the time of the Law, grace was made available through the specified sacrifices for sin. These pointed forward to the Lord Jesus Christ, who was the sacrifice for sin.
But because Jesus Christ came and offered Himself as the sacrifice for sin, the Law is no longer needed.
According to Romans 5:20, the Law was given so that God could reveal more of His grace: "Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound."
When the people gathered at Mount Sinai and heard God speak, they became frightened and "stood afar off" (Ex. 20:18). This is also the result of today's preaching of the Law apart from the context of the grace of God.
Law set forth what man ought to be; grace sets forth what God is. We behold the face of Christ in the Holy Scriptures, and we see who God is by beholding Christ, "for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Col. 2:9).
We know and understand what Christ has done for us as we study the Scriptures and see Him revealed in even the Mosaic Law.
"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith" (Gal. 3:24).

Just Passing Through?
This devotional was written by Jim Liebelt
But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. —Psalm 33:11
Did you know that this year worldwide, it's estimated that over 57 million people will die? We hear, read, or see a lot about deaths due to violence, war, disease and accidents. Yet, it amazes me to consider just how many people die annually of all causes combined. There's just no escaping the fact that everyone dies sooner or later from one cause or another. It's a good reminder of just how fleeting our lives are.
For me, time seems to be moving faster and faster the older I get and it is strange to think that I have fewer ticks of the clock left than those that have already gone by. I'm also reminded, however, that our time on earth is not the entire story. God's story—His plan for the world—is continually unfolding. And, everyone has a role to play.
Make no mistake about it: you are part of God's story! God has chosen that people be given temporary charge of the planet. Further, Christ-followers are given temporary charge as God's ambassadors—His personal representatives to be His messengers to enlarge His place in the hearts and minds of people. With these "charges" also come responsibility and accountability. According to the Scriptures, there will be a judgment day where we will have to give an account for our stewardship.
In a world of over 7 billion people, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that in God's story, every person matters. You may feel sometimes like just another lemming in the crowd on the way to the end of the cliff! But, I believe that what God said to Jeremiah applies to each person, "Before you were born, I knew you; before you were born, I set you apart" (Jeremiah 1:5).
In God's story, you matter! We may not be able to see beyond the current chapter of how our lives play out in His story. But as Christ-followers, I do know this: our most important tasks involve doing the necessary things that lead to growth in our relationship with Jesus so that we may in ever-increasing fashion reflect Jesus in all we do. In this way, we pass on this unfolding story of what God has done and what He is doing in the world to following generations. Then, at the end of our days, we can rest assured that we have kept God's story moving along.
1. Think of someone whose faith has been beneficial to your own faith. Sometime in the next couple of days, thank him or her for being part of God's work in your life.
2. What "chapter" will you write today as part of God's story?
Psalm 90:2; Corinthians 3:18, 5:9-10,20; Hebrews 9:27;1 Corinthians 4:2

Nurse Trees -
My backyard, I've discovered, is filled with nurses. Not the human kind, but the tree type of nurse: sturdy, fast-growing trees that shelter a host of baby trees growing up beneath their protective branches. In our case, the nurse trees are the brushy ashe junipers that cover our property. Their tangled lower limbs form a strong barrier to any creature – primarily deer – that would gladly eat the tender shoots of oaks, elms and maples, while providing the shade and shelter from the wind that those sprouting seeds need to survive.
This protection of the nurse trees is so good, in fact, that we didn't even know we had dozens of baby trees scattered under our mess of junipers until my husband began to clear out dead branches. The first time he discovered an oak sapling nestled next to a mature juniper, we were thrilled since we had been planning to plant oaks in our effort to restore some of the native habitat; by the time we'd identified almost a hundred more seedlings, we were stunned by what the nurse trees had facilitated.
Here's the thing about finding those healthy seedlings, sprouts, and saplings, though: now that we've found them by clearing out the nurse tree's protective arms, we have to take responsibility for the next stage of their growth. So guess who's spending time these days constructing little wire cages to keep the deer from chomping on our future mixed-woods forest until those saplings can hold their own against predators?
Got wire crimpers?
In some ways, it's like raising children, I've realized. (Except that the trees won't be asking to get driving permits in another 15 years, thank goodness.) While they're infants, we wrap our children in security so they can thrive. As they grow, we gradually withdraw our protection to expose them to the elements of life so they can be toughened up to prepare to stand on their own resources. Hopefully, by the time they are mature adults, they'll be able to live well in the world.
God does the same thing with us. He is our mighty nurse tree, hiding us beneath his branches as we root deeply into the soil of faith. At some point, He will begin to clear out the protective coverings, leaving us to face adversity and challenge as we grow stronger and more capable. Finally, we find ourselves in the full sun of life, ready to do the will of our Lord. Just as trees differ in their growing stages, some of us, however, take longer to stand in faith than others. That doesn't make any Christian less than another; it simply makes us all individuals – and individuality is what makes God's Kingdom especially strong and beautiful. As I've learned from our yard, mixed-wood forests are the result of cooperation, and every tree has its role as it contributes to the health of the whole biome.
So who are you these days in your faith development? Are you a nurse tree? A sprout? A sapling? An oak? No matter where you are in your faith development now, take heart and continue to grow, for even the strongest tree in the forest begins as a seed.
"He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him." Isaiah 53:2

NOx is a generic term for the various nitrogen oxides produced during combustion.
They are believed to aggravate asthmatic conditions, react with the oxygen in the air to produce ozone, which is also an irritant and eventually form nitric acid when dissolved in water.
When dissolved in atmospheric moisture the result can be acid rain which can damage both trees and entire forest ecosystems.

The struggle to attract talent to Australia's two battling Super Rugby outfits was highlighted again on Monday when three young Queensland players re-signed with the Reds.
The talented trio of centre Ben Tapuai and wingers Dom Shipperley and Rod Davies opted to stay in Brisbane despite no assurances they'll get a large slice of game time with the 2011 champions.
It underlined the difficulty the Western Force and Melbourne, who racked up just seven wins between them this season, face when trying to lure players away from the traditional rugby bases of Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra.
The trio's decision to commit until the end of 2014 adds to a big few months of retention and recruitment for the Reds, who have contributed significantly to a gloomy few months for the Force.
Queensland pinched Force coach Richard Graham in April and, after they thought they'd got one back on the Reds and coaxed Will Genia west, the Wallabies halfback suddenly reneged on the deal.
The Perth-based team last month probably copped their biggest blow when skipper David Pocock said he couldn't win any silverware with the Force and signed with the Brumbies.
Also in the Reds backline, five-eighth Quade Cooper recently re-signed through until the end of 2015 while Digby Ioane, Ben Lucas and Anthony Faingaa also committed to Queensland over the past 12 months.
Tapuai and Davies, both 23, face a daunting task to break back into the side after they missed a large chunk of the 2012 season through injury as the defending Super champions won the Australian conference but got beaten in the first week of the playoffs by the Sharks.
While they sat on the sidelines, 21-year-old Shipperley enjoyed a breakout season, playing every minute of all 17 matches and scoring eight tries including a 70-metre effort after the siren to beat the Waratahs in round one.
Ioane is a certainty on the other wing for the Reds, fullback Luke Morahan and centre Mike Harris also blossomed in 2012 to earn Wallabies debuts and hard-tackling centre Faingaa is a favourite in the midfield.
While classy utility Lucas and highly-rated 18-year-old Chris Feauai-Sautia will be waiting in the wings.
The Rebels and Force could do with a sprinkling of players of this calibre in their backlines as they face up to criticism from their New Zealand and South African rivals that Australia can't sustain five franchises.
All three of Monday's signings have also been rewarded with national squad selection during the past two seasons with Tapuai and Shipperley involved in the 2012 training set-up, while Davies made his Wallabies debut against Samoa in 2011.
"Despite their young age Ben, Dom and Rod have all produced amazing results in our rugby program, so it's extremely pleasing to retain their services heading into what will be the peak of their careers," said Reds coach Ewen McKenzie, who is set to hand over the reins to Graham.
"Our entire squad is voting with their feet and choosing to stay in Queensland."

Alternative Rock Band Yarn to Perform at The Garage, 5/31
Up and coming Americana Alt/Rock band Yarn will perform one night only at The Garage on May 31 at 8pm.
Tickets to Yarn are $12 in advance and $15 day of show. Contact the Colonial Ticket Office at 111 South Street, Pittsfield by calling 413-997-4444. Tickets can also be bought online at www.berkshiretheatregroup.org. The Ticket Office is open Monday-Friday 10am-5pm, Saturdays 10am-2pm or on any performance day from 10am until curtain.
Brooklyn-based Americana/Alt-Rock band Yarn's sound owes as much to Gram Parsons and Earl Scruggs as to Jerry Garcia and Exile On Main Street-era Rolling Stones. Following in a fine tradition that includes forward thinking roots bands like The Flying Burrito Brothers and New Riders of The Purple Sage, Yarn weaves roots music idioms into a fresh sound that turns on hipsters and fans of country music alike, with technically impressive song-crafting and universal tales from the road of life.
On Yarn's latest release, Leftovers, Volume 1 you'll hear vintage tracks recorded during the band's first studio sessions back in 2006 and 2007. With this retro-collection, listeners witness the poignant emotion and emotive story-telling that has come to define the sextet's sound, which straddles the genres of Americana and alt-rock, with a dash of jam-band.
Their self-titled debut record reached No. 14 on the AMA and R&R Radio Charts, and ranked No. 79 on the AMA's Top 100 Albums of 2007. Yarn's 2008 follow-up, Empty Pockets, spent months in the top 5 on the AMA chart and was honored with eight first round 2009 Grammy nominations in several categories. Yarn's third release, Come on In, held its own as the #25 record on the top 100 Americana chart of 2010.
2012 brought this Grammy-nominated roots band into the music revolution, inspired by today's music devotee's hunger for artists to believe in and follow, they are giving it to the fans everyday in every way possible. Yarn's devotion to their fans is realized in online and social sharing of their music, whether its daily video posts, premiering fresh songs on local radio, or performing live in small town venues across the country. They are brought songs to American music lovers, and the music lovers responded.
Yarn's devoted followers, affectionately called the "Yarmy," answered the band's request for aid when they funded their new record through Kickstarter. Raising in excess of $5000 of the $15,000 needed, the "Yarmy," proved their allegiance to Yarn and their music being heard in 2012. The fans spoke, and on March 20th, Yarn released their new album, Almost Home, produced by the multi-Grammy winning, Bil VornDick, who has worked with Alison Krauss, Ralph Stanley, Bob Dylan and many others. VornDick came across a Yarn performance at "Music City Roots," Nashville's progressive live music show that showcases some of the best of the Americana music scene. Although they didn't come together that night, VornDick and his wife heard Yarn on a Virginia radio live remote a few days later as they were traveling. VornDick decided it must be a sign and the rest is Yarn history.
Yarn's mojo continues to provide as they went on to make their first appearance at SXSW in the New Frontier Showcase, and travel in the "On the Fly" RV, courtesy of their 2012 sponsorship with Firefly Vodka. "It seems every good connection leads to another," says Christiana, "our fan following has really put us in a place to get noticed and we want to repay them for the huge faith in us." Yarn's good karma kept building, putting them in the right place at the right time. They were recently featured on CNN's Out Front, during a cover story on Firefly Distilleries. The band just happened to be in town and their music made a believer out of CNN host, Erin Burnett, who, (as she sings along with the band), proclaims, "They are playing good music and living the American dream. We think Yarn is going to make it big!"
Yarn is led by singer/songwriter and cult-master, Blake Christiana, who carries the torch for the fan following that will transport Yarn into the promised land. "Our fans are like family. We are so grateful to people that love music and will help support us in creating it. It's just remarkable," Christiana says. "That's half of my love of the road; we've got what feels like family in tons of cities across America."

I need some advice. My 05 WRX is just up to 15,000 miles and due for service, but time wise it's due for the 30,000 mile service. Which should I get? The dealer said the 15k is $330 I think, and the 30k is $500. The major differences are the 30k includes plugs, coolant flush, and the maintenance book say brake fluid, but the service manager didn't mention that. So, is it worth it for the extra $170?
thanks for any advice.

Where do you live? Laws vary from State to State and sometimes (like here in NC) County to County.
A while back I bought a handgun off a friend of mine and got a purchase permit at the time and had him sign it and me sign. I then moved and forgot to take the gun in to get it registered after I moved until I found it recently in storage... Anybody know what to do to go about getting it registered after its been over a year since the seller signed the permit?
Where do you live? Laws vary from State to State and sometimes (like here in NC) County to County.
I still have the original slips that we both signed with the serial number on it. Just never took it back up to the police station so they never got their copy completing the registration. Should I just call the police station and ask them what I should do? I'm not sure I will be able to get a hold of the seller to get another. I'm also not sure if he would even sign another since its been a year... Just not sure what I should do.
I don't know your local laws, but I would call... or just show up with the paperwork and take care of it....

97 Jetta GL MK3 2.0L engine
The quick question: How do I backflush the heater core? I was told to take off both hoses at the firewall and stick a garden hose in the 'exit' hose.. which hose is that? Can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to flush it?
The long question:
For a few months now I've had a pretty bad coolant leak around my radiator. For a while I've been just filling the reservoir with water almost daily (avg temp outside was 60 degrees while using water). My engine has also not been heating up all of the way when it is cold out (40-60 degrees) but my vent heat did work. I was going to replace the radiator, but decided to try the 'stop leak' stuff.
I put that stopleak (i think it was 'liquid copper' or something like that) in my system about 2 days ago. The leak seems to have stopped, but now the engine still does not heat up all the way and there is absolutely no heat coming out of the vents. I went to the parts store to get a thermostat and the guy there told me to try the backflush thing.
Any other ideas or suggestions?

There's certainly a lot of hype out there about big data. As I previously wrote, some of it is indeed hype, but there are still many legitimate big data cases - I saw a great example during my last business trip. Hadoop certainly plays a key role in the big data revolution, so all business intelligence (BI) vendors are jumping on the bandwagon and saying that they integrate with Hadoop. But what does that really mean? First of all, Hadoop is not a single entity; it's a conglomeration of multiple projects, each addressing a certain niche within the Hadoop ecosystem, such as data access, data integration, DBMS, system management, reporting, analytics, data exploration, and much much more. To lift the veil of hype, I recommend that you ask your BI vendors the following questions

Focus Shifts to New SEC Opponent Missouri
Sept. 2, 2012
ATHENS, Ga. - After defeating Buffalo 45-23 in its season opener on Saturday, the Georgia Bulldogs will travel to Columbia, Missouri this Saturday to take on one of the SEC's new teams, the Missouri Tigers, in a 7:45 p.m. ET kickoff on ESPN2. This will mark the first SEC contest for the Tigers after joining the league this season.
Georgia head coach Mark Richt spoke with the media on a conference call on Sunday afternoon to discuss the upcoming game against Missouri.
"It's a huge game for us, no doubt," said Richt. "We've got our goals, and Missouri has their goals. To me, it's the biggest game of the year. They're a very impressive team with what they do, and their body types are very muscular, lean and fast. They play at a high level of energy, and they're just very good at what they do. It's going to be a monster game."
When asked about what he will say to get the team fired up for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Richt replied, "I haven't thought about exactly what I'm going to say to them yet, but we're going to spend half of the day tomorrow just cleaning up this last ballgame (against Buffalo) and reviewing what we did. The other half, we'll start Missouri preparations, so we'll feed the players a little here and there about what it's going to be like. You don't usually spend a whole lot of time early in the week getting into the emotion of the upcoming game because you want to save those words for closer to when you're kicking off."
Discussing Missouri's offense in a more in-depth manner, Richt commented, "They definitely run a spread offense. There will be some four-receiver and five-receiver looks, as well. They want to run the football, and a lot of their run game comes from their quarterback. They're very balanced in what they do, and they run the ball quite a bit because they have the defense spread out all over the field."
Missouri (1-0) will prove to be a tough test for the Bulldogs (1-0), as the Tigers recently defeated Southeastern Louisiana 62-10 in their season opener in Columbia on Saturday night.
Missouri is led by the duo of junior quarterback James Franklin and senior tailback Kendial Lawrence. Franklin completed 13 of 21 passes for 131 yards and one touchdown in the Tigers' opener, while Lawrence carried the ball 10 times for 121 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Georgia freshman running back Todd Gurley had his own impressive performance Saturday against Buffalo, as the Tarboro, N.C. native rushed for 100 yards on eight carries with a pair of touchdowns. Gurley also scored another touchdown on a 100-yard kickoff return to add to his performance on the day.
In wrapping up his conference call, Richt briefly touched upon the play of Gurley, noting that "He obviously is a runner, and he's been impressing our staff and our team with how he's been doing. He played in the game yesterday how he's played in our scrimmages. He's just got a knack for breaking tackles, and he's got more strength than you'd think for a big, fluid athlete. Hopefully, he'll keep it up."

text: Winging It Peter Nielsen | December 19, 2011 Previous Next 1 of 16 pic1_0If you've ever built a model airplane using components cut from balsa, you'll know what's involved in constructing an AC45 wingsail. The process is very similar. First you cut out the parts, then you painstaking assemble them into the framework of the wing, then you apply the skin material and shrink it to a tight fit. Here, aerofoil-shaped wingsail ribs, cut from carbon fiber/Nomex honeycomb sheets by a CNC machine, await assembly.Photo by Peter Nielsen pic7_0These are the three sections of the aft wing element, awaiting their skins. Photo by Peter Nielsen pic8_0Core Builders Composites honcho Tim Smyth explains how the plates that control twist in the wing elements work. Photo by Peter Nielsen pic6_0Then the rib assembly is bonded to the spar. Photo by Peter Nielsen pic5_0A wing element takes shape on a jig. This is the forward element. The ribs are glued into place. Photo by Peter Nielsen pic4_1After the Nomex core and pre-preg carbon fiber skins have been laid into the molds, the spar sections have been wheeled inside the oven, where they're vacuum-bagged and baked at temperatures of up to 300 degrees to cure the epoxy resin and bond the skin and core together. Photo by Peter Nielsen Pic3_0An AC45 wing has two elements. The forward element is a 70ft structure that can be broken down for transportation in a 40ft container. The aft element has three independent flaps; the molds for the leading edges are seen here. Photo by Peter Nielsen pic2_1These spools each hold a few thousand dollars' worth of pre-preg carbon fiber sheet. "Pre-preg" means pre-impregnated with epoxy resin, which does not "kick" until heated. The same technique is used to make the hulls and for the wings—a 1mm thick carbon fiber skin sandwiching a Nomex core. Photo by Peter Nielsen pic9_1Once finished, the sections of the wing are packed into shipping containers and sent off to the teams. Here, France's Team Energy gets a first look at its wing inside the container.Photo by Gilles Martin-Raget/Oracle pic10_1The light weight of the wing sections is evident in this shot.Photo by Gilles Martin-Raget/Oracle pic11_1The forward element is assembled and the twist control lines are led up the spar.Photo by Gilles Martin-Raget/Oracle pic12_0Because the lightweight plastic film is so easily damaged, it is applied immediately to assembly and shrunk with a heat gun.Photo by Gilles Martin-Raget/Oracle pic13_0"Now which bit is next?" The forward element is being assembled.Photo by Gilles Martin-Raget/Oracle pic14_0"Did we forget anything?" The wing is assembled and ready for action.Photo by Gilles Martin-Raget/Oracle pic15_1It helps to have a windless day, but the installation goes off without a hitch.Photo by Gilles Martin-Raget/Oracle pic16_0And they're sailing!Photo by Gilles Martin-Raget/Oracle Previous Next 1 of 16

Godzmassacre: "Stephen King's Graveyard Shift"
"RATS"!!! We just can't seem to get away from these goddamn rodents in this challenge. First was the ultra low budget, bad VHS transfer of Ratman, and now this rat infested monstrosity based off a short story by the usual master of the macabre Stephen King.
The story involves a group whose hired to clean out an old rotted factory being terrorized by rats, but in the musty darkness a much worse adversary is waiting for it's moment to strike. The most notable performances come from Brad Douriff, and Andrew Divoff (Chucky, and the Wishmaster), but even their roles are far from the quality of their other work.
The movie focuses more on the relationships between the workers cleaning the mill, and not much screen time is devoted to the much more interesting team of rats, and the giant bat. The bat is a grotesque puppet that is unfortunately M.I.A. until the last few moments of the film. A few people get eaten alive, but it's too few and far between to warrant a second viewing. The bat creature did satisfy me enough to keep the movie from being an entire waste, and looks grossly impressive when filmed in that environment.

Marketing In "Cloud-Time"
Posted by Tim Harmon on April 21, 2011
- 514 Recommendations
- 3 comments
What is it that you think makes one tech company stand out from another? "My product is better than your product"? Not anymore. "My salespeople are better than your salespeople"? Possibly. "My channel is better than your channel". You're getting warmer. How about, "My marketing machine is better than your marketing machine"?
For example, 41% of customers identify "the vendor's (not including its salespeople's) ability to understand our business problem", compared with only 21% who identified "the vendor's salesperson's ability to understand our business problem" as the most important vendor action factor when selecting a tech vendor. Marketing is clearly the difference-maker.
But cloud computing changes everything. The implications of cloud computing go far beyond its technology delivery/consumption model. It seems I get questions from tech marketers about all things cloud these days. A few examples:
- "How can I use the cloud more effectively to market our solutions?" (Answer: It's not what you read in USA Today about Facebook and Twitter. According to the results of our 2011 B2B Social Technographics® survey, discussion forums and professional social networking sites (read: not consumer social sites) outpace Facebook and Twitter ten-fold as information sources for informing businesses' technology purchase decisions.)
- "How does cloud computing change the channel?" (Answer: Dramatically. More than three-quarters of channel partners either have or are planning a managed services business, and over half either have or are planning an application hosting business. Who owns the NOC or data center – and more importantly, how they get evaluated and certified – is going to be an increasingly critical factor in customers' decisions on who they provision cloud-based services from.)
- "Does the cloud commoditize our product[s], and if so, what can I do about it?" (Answer: Yes. Product marketing is dead . . . or, at best, on life support. Let me use a simple example – when was the last time you heard salesforce.com touting its products' features and functions? A new age of tech marketing is nigh; and it's time for tech marketing to grow up and act more like its other B2B industry brethren. Specifically, there are two new tech marketing models about to be borne: business outcome (the long-term gains in customers' competitive position, market share, and customer value) marketing and customer experience (the customer's experience with tech vendors and channel partners across all six stages of the technology adoption lifecycle) marketing.
The bar has been set higher for tech marketers. Groundswell technologies, like cloud, mobile, social, and video, put tremendous power in the hands of customers. Like expert jugglers who go from two to three to four or more balls (or chainsaws), tech marketers will need to learn how to successfully weave in new techniques, technologies, and channels to put their companies on top.
By the way, you can learn more about all the above – and more – at Forrester's IT Forum in Las Vegas next month (and in Barcelona the week after) from the Technology Marketing analysts. Hope to see you there, and as always, let me know what you think.

Great insight. Can you please point to the specific source or study for the your percentage of respondents who identify "the vendor's (not including its salespeople's) ability to understand our business problem"?
Comment from Tim Harmon on Fri, 04/22/2011 - 11:55
The data regarding a vendor's (vs. a vendor's salesperson's) ability to understand customers' businesss problems comes from Forrester's US And European B2B Social Technographics For Business Technology Online Survey, Q1 2011.
Product Marketing is not Dead
Comment from Saeed Khan (not verified) on Tue, 04/26/2011 - 09:26
I'm very surprised to read the line equating Product Marketing with "features and functions".
Product Marketing is strategic marketing at the product level. It's about understanding the market and market segments the product is targeted it. It's about understanding the buyer and buyer intentions. It's about ensuring alignment across sales/marketing to shorten the buying cycle.
Forrester should know better.

Monsters are real and so are ghosts. They live inside of us, and sometimes they win.
~ Stephen King
I'm not going inside a place I can't see before just barging in.I would have waited outside with my shotty and called 911,they would never know I'm there until they pop out and I shout commands,non-compliance immediately,hands going to pockets,and they get fired on.I live in Texas and by law I don't even have to shout a warning
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"

If he was aware of the break-in a call to 911 would have been more appropriate. He could have then taken shelter in a safe room while staying in contact with the dispatcher. House-clearing should be left to the professionals.

Old Vet,
I agree that would work if police roll up on the place. I'm in a rural area, they may or may not. Might park and enter on foot. Best to have wife call 911 and give my description maybe. I'll be the guy holding an 870. I can't say how I'd respond, depends. But possibly position myself outside to observe where perp entered and listen. Prone 'em out when they leave that building. Here's my concern, the perp MAY have a lookout or two that might blindside ya.In PA without a castle doctrine leaving the confines of the home leave owner at a disadvantage legally. At present might be best to just notify police and get best descriptions without leaving the home. The security of family members is highest priority, not loss of property from out buildings. Just a hard pill to swallow, most of the time police will not apprehend offenders...
I remember a similar thread a couple of months ago - the consensus was, that if the man could afford suveillance cameras - he could also afford a decent garage door - instead of a tarp that would just invite theives in.
Guy was extremely lucky.
No brains, no cojones; just a whole lot of stupid and a bit of luck all around.
Why go out there at all? You've got a video camera set up, so the bad guys will probably get caught.
Also, the guy leaves the women and children in the house WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION and goes out into an unknown situation. What if there was another perp who went into the house while he was outside playing cops and robbers? Who would protect the women and children? He should have stayed in the house to protect them instead.
I have a gun at home for SELF DEFENSE, not for defending my garage. If someone threatens me or my family (i.e. they come upstairs in the middle of the night), I shoot first and ask questions later. That's where I'm staying and that's what I'm protecting. NOBODY COMES UPSTAIRS. But if they're trying to steal my lawnmower, I call 911 and wait for the cops. It's not worth the risk of 1. getting shot, 2. leaving my family unprotected, and 3. going to jail for shooting someone who is NOT threatening my life.
Whether the wife/family is left WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION, is dependent on the circumstances involved and the training and means available to those left in the house.
1. Dependent on circumstances, training, experience and ability.
2. Covered above.
3. If they are not a threat, don't shoot them.
4. Statutes relative to individual action against criminal activities.
The course of action chosen is up to the individual, based an a number of factors. I fault no one for either choice if proper consideration is given to the factors involved.
"I do what I do." Cpl 'coach' Bowden, "Southern Comfort".
Point taken about different circumstances and factors, but you are talking about taking risks. I am talking about minimizing risks.
It's a dupe thread and the home owner is still a moron.
Wow, I just watched the video. The only thing I can say is, those guys are lucky they didnt come to my house and do that.

BMS church plant blossoms in Sri Lanka
A church planted by BMS World Mission workers over 200 years ago in Sri Lanka is now sending workers to the mission field.
We often start things without knowing how they are going to end. But God knows.
In 1812 a BMS missionary arrived in Sri Lanka (known as Ceylon then) and planted a church the next year. Little did they know then that, 200 years on, it would be a thriving church, sending missionaries of its own.
Last October was Cinnamon Gardens Baptist Church's 200th anniversary. Representing BMS at a weekend of celebrations were Peter and Margaret Goodall. Peter was one of a succession of British ministers to pastor the church – he was senior minister from 1980 to 1988.
At the celebrations, which were also attended by Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist leaders, Peter presented a plaque to the church from BMS and a greeting from General Director, David Kerrigan. He was also invited to plant a cinnamon tree in the church grounds to mark the anniversary.
The church was started in 1813 by BMS missionary Rev James Charter who moved to Sri Lanka from Burma with his wife and four children. His wife had been unwell whilst he had been doing evangelistic work for BMS in Burma and he hoped that the conditions in Sri Lanka would be more congenial for her.
At first the church met in a warehouse and attracted English and European settlers on the island. The church moved to its current building and location at Cinnamon Gardens in central Colombo in 1877. Beginning as a church primarily attracting English speakers, today it now has an equally large Sinhalese and Tamil congregation.
During Peter Goodall's time as minister there, the church responded to the needs of the poor around them by providing English lessons and computer training. Today the church helps those who have relatives at a nearby hospital by providing a place to stay the night or a gift towards paying for medicine.
Started by a missionary, the church in recent years has been able to give back to the mission field. In 2010, church member Dinesh* went to Bangladesh to serve with Sri Lankan mission agency Global Impact. In December 2013, the Church sent Priyanga to serve for two years on the Operation Mobilisation ship, Logos Hope.
Peter and Margaret were thrilled to be present at the 200th anniversary on behalf of BMS. They remember their time serving at Cinnamon Gardens Baptist Church fondly.
"It was a wonderful time," says Margaret. "We made some really good, deep friends there and we found it fairly easy to integrate. We found people so welcoming and so helpful. It was a high spot of our lives."
"It was a happy, blessed experience," says Peter. "Probably the highlight of our ministry together."

In that time I've lost 18 pounds and two pant sizes, and while that is a very big deal to a woman, what I've gained is even better. I've gained a confidence I've never had, energy I never would have imagined, and a vitality that transfers to every aspect of my life. I have absolutely learned to confidently defend myself and others, but I've also learned that age is not an obstacle. This school has changed me and my life and it's all thanks to the instructor, Mark Dong. Mark is an amazing instructor. He always makes class interesting and fun and he knows how to get through to each student as an individual to help them really perfect the techniques. I just can't say enough about this school. I started with Krav Maga and I'm now taking a Combatives class and will probably start CrossFit soon. Oh, and my husband and daughter attend now too! This is a great experience at a great price." - Tina Vargas
"This class may have saved my wife's life. She had been attending Krav Maga classes at Krav Fit Now for a few months when she was attacked in a parking lot. She used the techniques she learned here and was able to get away from the assailant quickly and without injury. She got away and the bad guy got nothing. I would recommend this place to any woman, regardless of age. At some point you're going to be alone and you never know what could happen. It pays to be prepared!" - Rhonnie Acy

2014 World Cup: Ghana midfielder Mohammed Rabiu says he's fully fit for Brazil
Russia-based midfielder Mohammed Rabiu says he is prepared to reclaim his anchorman role in Ghana's midfield at the 2014 World Cup having won his battle with injuries.
The 24-year-old came off the bench to score his first ever goal for Kuban Krasnodar in their 4-0 drubbing of Kraylya Sovetov on Saturday.
Rabiu has been limited to just eight appearances for his Russian club this season with injury taking its toll on the tough tackling Black Stars midfielder.
The ex Evian TG man has also not played for Ghana since September when he suffered the injury.
Rabiu as a result missed out on the crucial World Cup playoffs against Egypt that sealed Ghana's qualification to a third successive finals in Brazil.
The 24-year-old now says he is ready to reclaim his key midfield role in the Black Stars team at the World Cup once given the chance.
"I'm ready to play in Brazil,†the tireless midfielder declared.
"We are in touch with the head coach, and if he would give me a chance, with God's help I hope to adequately play for his team.â€
Rabiu will however come up against stiff competition in reclaiming his starting role for the Black Stars at the World Cup with the likes of Sulley Muntari and Michael Essien all in contention for the central midfield spot.

Honest man says:May 04, 2014 10:48 amSub now recovering from injury on top not a senior player …Goal is not enough to secure you a place in the Black Stars.[ Players will say that even though they are not fully fit]
Mumbi says:May 04, 2014 10:53 amReady 4 the torney? Okay Go BS Go!!! Rabiu Mohamedi and Kwado Asamoah are the the reasons why I could watch Ghana Vs Usa.
asuku says:May 04, 2014 09:21 amwe fanx God Rabui is back. Can't talk about midfielders without talking about Rabiu and you can't talk about strikers for Brazil without talking about boakye yiadom. I believe we are going for the cup this time round and expect coach AA to do the right thing by calling dedicated players, nooo favouritism because of relationship you have with anyone and I believe God Almighty will shower his blessings on the team when the right thing is done.
