The Pulse: Join Jacqueline Maley and Mark Davis in a live campaign conversation as they wrap the latest news and views from the 2010 election front.
7.07 pm: And that must surely suggest it is time for all good bloggers to take a rest break. The Pulse is hanging up its keyboards, iPhones, hotlinks, spreadsheets, HTML snippets, election pendulums, and other devices for the night. We will be back for our next 12-hour shift starting at 7.00 am tomorrow morning, when, hopefully, there may be a little more light on whether a final debate between the two leaders will go ahead or be put out of its misery.
6.53 pm: The Pulse is a little concerned about the welfare of that most numerate of political bloggers, Pollytics, whose frustrations are evidently close to blowing. We feel ya' bro! Here's a selection of Pollytics' tweets in the last couple of hours. It's an electronic cri de coeur!
6.44 pm: Gillard through the lens by Herald photographer Andrew Meares is worth looking at while you are winding down from Day 32. It blends still and moving pics, audio, interviews and actuality to give an insight into the modern campaign.
6.31 pm: Over on Seven, the package focuses more on the antics of the leaders over whether to have another debate. Anchor Chris Bath opens the story by crossing to political editor Mark Riley and posing the question: "This has become a running joke hasn't it?" Riley agrees: "It sure has but it's the leaders who look like jokes." Then to Riley's package which starts with footage of a hot air balloon hovering outside Parliament this morning, bedecked with caricatures of Gillard and Abbott as a protest on climate change. The story then reports on the substance of Abbott's infrastructure and employment policy announcements as well as covering off on the lines by the two leaders on whether Australia should become a republic (Gillard says that after Queen Elizabeth's reign ends would be an appropriate time, Abbott says not in his lifetime). Mark Riley finishes where he began by covering off on the tussle over debates and a town hall-style meeting in Brisbane. He characterises this as "the increasingly childish debate on the new debate" before signing off.
6.22 pm: Nine's headline about Abbott's surplus bungle turns out to be a slip-up by Opposition frontbencher George Brandis. Remember George? He's a Queensland senator from the Libs moderates faction and is famous for calling John Howard a "lying rodent." Anyway, earlier today, Senator Brandis was asked when the Coalition would remove its levy on big business to fund paid parental leave. Nine reports he responded: "Taking the levy off depends on the budgetary circumstances of the time. We can't say for certain when the budget will come back into surplus." Nine's political editor Laurie Oakes said this was a stroke of luck for Julia Gillard given her efforts to focus the campaign on the economy. He runs a grab of the PM saying: "Senator Brandis has let the cat out of the bag." Then Tony Abbott cleaning up: "The budget will be back in surplus in 2012-13." Nine's package then covers off on Abbott's two policy announcements, infrastructure bonds and incentives for the long-term unemployed to seek work. Oakes signs off by running Gillard's response to the left-field question from a Townsville reporter on whether sauce should be provided free with pies. This is inevitably a device to allow a segue to a closing clip of Kevin Rudd's famous brush with the vernacular: "Fair shake of the sauce bottle."
6.11 pm: Politics runs high in the Nine and Seven bulletins although both lead with the fatal shark attack in Western Australia. Nine's headline is that Tony Abbott has been hit by a "surplus bungle." Seven's headline says it is a "Cash and Dash Campaign" as Gillard goes on a cash spree in marginal seats.
5.54 pm: Speaking of sandbagging, Malcolm Turnbull had a busy day campaigning in Liberal-held seats in Adealide. He visited a local school in Sturt with Chris Pyne, Stirling in the Adelaide Hills electorate of Mayo with Jamie Brigs, and the Westfield Shopping Centre in Marion with Liberal MP for Boothby Andrew Southcott. Boothby. State-by-state polls show a swing to Labor in SA. Sturt and Boothby are the most marginal Lib-held seats in the state.
5.15 pm: The Liberals' David Gazard evidently has the fishing vote all stitched up in Eden-Monaro.
5.02 pm: More on NSW south coast politics. First fisherfolk heckling greenies; then the Wilderness Society koala tries to present a dead fish to the TBott. Now we see why they say Eden-Monaro is an electoral microcosm!
4.48 pm: Abbott has arrived at Narooma and there is a welcoming party. Our reporters Katharine Murphy and Yuko Narushima have sent these snaps and this text despatch: Fisherman and ferals shouting it out over Tony's campaign event. Greenies say he is a tree slayer. Fisherman yells out "Eat some fish and grow a brain."
4.28 pm: We've been pondering "house effects" in the opinion polls: whether individual pollsters systematically overstate or understate support for one side of politics. This is also known as "bias" - but it is bias in the statistical, rather than the political, sense of the word. Polls may display house effects because of legitimate differences in practices such as survey methodology, wording of questions, how undecided voters are prompted and so on.
Our chart depicts house effects among six polls The Pulse is tracking this electoral cycle. From late 2007 until this week, we compared each poll's reading of Labor's two-party vote to our estimate of the underlying trend in the ALP 2PP vote at that time. For each poll, the red dots show the average deviation from the trend. Above zero means the deviation favours Labor; below zero it favours the Coalition. The blue lines show the minimum and maximum deviations. To be clear: the chart shows how each poll has rated Labor relative to all of the polls, not relative to some external measure of Labor's actual standing. (Click through the image for full-size chart)
The most obvious difference is between the four telephone polls (Nielsen, Newspoll, Galaxy and Morgan) which tend to rate Labor below the overall trend and the Morgan Face to Face and Essential Research polls which rate Labor above trend. Morgan F2F uses face to face surveys while Essential is an online survey, so we are presumably looking at a methodology effect rather than house-specific effects here. If we consider the phone polls alone, they are pretty consistent relative to one another, although Morgan's Phone poll leans more to Labor relative to the other three phone polls. The difference here is about a percentage point so this house effect within the four phone pollsters is not particularly pronounced. A note: Galaxy's more compressed minimum-to-maximum blue line probably reflects the fact it has only produced 11 national polls in this cycle, compared to nearly 30 Nielsens and nearly 70 Newspolls (fewer polls means fewer outlying rogue results).
3.50 pm: Another movement update from Abbott entourage. Have got off the light plane in Moruya and are zooming with intent to Narooma on the NSW south coast to hook up with the Opposition leader and Liberal candidate for Eden-Monaro, David Gazard. Our reporter texts us that the Gazard campaign has ensured no innocent south coast cow will be without a sign.
3.29 pm: Movements update. Word from our reporter on the Abbott bus is they are flying to Narooma on the NSW south coast (in the electorate of Eden-Monaro). Is the surf up?
3.17 pm: One of our readers, Ailie, asks why the leaders' fascination with Townsville, saying "talk about desperate, you wouldn't get me there again if you paid me!"
The retiring Liberal MP for the Townsville-based electorate of Herbert, Peter Lindsay, refers to himself as "the Member for Paradise." Now The Pulse has no wish to offend its readers in the northern city, nor to endorse in toto the unkind remarks of Ailie. But we will say that we have visited Townsville and we do think the good Mr Lindsay has been exaggerating matters somewhat.
On to the substance of Ailie's question. The leaders are going there because Herbert is the second most marginal seat in the country. Following an electoral redistribution it is a notionally Labor seat. But it would take a swing to the Coalition of just 0.04 per cent for Mr Lindsay's would-be successor, Ewen Jones, to take up the mantle as the Member for Paradise. With some 89,500 voters on the roll in Herbert that means Labor would lose its notional hold on the seat if only 35 people switched from the way they voted in 2007.
2.51 pm: Malcolm Turnbull has just tweeted a famous quote from Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations (apropos of what, we are not sure).
"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher.....or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." AS.
And while we are speaking of the great Scottish political economist, The Pulse likes the fact that there is now a cartoon version of The Wealth of Nations here.
2.24pm: One of The Pulse's readers, enigmatically named "Hmmm", has brought this website to our attention: www.belowtheline.org.au
It is a great website set up by self confessed election nerd who gives his name as Benno Rice. He says he is "involved with the Greens" but insists the website is entirely for information purposes only. From what we have seen it looks really useful. You simply select the way you plan on voting in the Senate, and a list of that party's full preference deals comes up. There is also handy link to the algorithms used to calculate senate votes - it's a quota system.
2.17 pm: The scene at the National Press Club could sure do with a splash of Tony Hickey-style colour as this shot of the dark-suited Opposition leader facing the dark-suited hacks suggests. By the by, The Pulse has a troubled relationship with the NPC, having once been chided by its events manager for describing its main downstairs room as dingy. We rest our case.
2.00pm: Tony Hickey is contesting the seat of Sydney for The Greens. Today he sent out some eye-catching advertising to publicise his campaign. What Hickey lacks in gravitas he sure makes up for in enthusiasm.
See his appeal for marriage equality, below. Serious issue. Hard to take seriously when there is a leprechaun jumping between the two would-be betrothed.
Ditto his advertisement about the Greens' dental health care plan, in which Hickey poses as a dentist. Last time we checked, dentists were even less popular than politicians.
But we totally applaud the aspirant's Photoshop skills.
1.59 pm: Both leaders are on the move. Abbott's minders have asked the travelling media contingent to be on the bus, ready to roll, as soon as the Press Club session wraps up. Abbott is going into the nearby NSW electorate of Eden-Monaro for an event, then will fly this evening from Canberra to Queensland. Gillard is flying from Queensland to Sydney for a private function tonight and then on to Perth. Travelling press have been told she will have a campaign event in Perth tomorrow before heading back east. Meanwhile here is a shot of a minor campaign snafu from the PM's Townsville event this morning. Gillard inspected a National Broadband Network rollout site there but was delayed as she had to wait for an ABC crew to establish an internet conection to carry her press conference live.
1.42 pm: Tony Abbott's last question from the floor is from The Sydney Morning Herald's Lenore Taylor. She says electricity generators are saying that without a clear carbon price they will likely invest in new power plants which will push electricity prices up anyway but delivering fewer emissions reductions. Abbott insists the Coalition's policy will reduce Australia's greenhouse gas emissions without putting a price on carbon. "I think the best carbon price faced by consumers and generators is zero," he says. And that is that for his final campaign week appearance at Canberra's National Press Club.
1.37 pm: Mark Kenny from the Adelaide Advertiser asks Abbott whether his appeal to voters not to cut the government slack because it is in its first term reflects Liberal Party research showing this is a concern in the electorate. Abbott says his comments reflect the weight of history rather than research: "It is 79 years since a first term incumbent government was defeated and I am very conscious of that record we are running against." He says there are huge hurdles in the way of the Coalition because Labor is spending big on election advertising. "I just want to make sure that the bad habit, if that is what it is, of automatically giving [first term] governments a second chance isn't another one of those hurdles we have got to leap over."
1.26 pm: At the National Press Club, Channel 10's Paul Bongiorno reads a passage from Peter Costello's memoirs saying Tony Abbott in government was something of a romantic figure in the Howard government, a Don Quixote chasing pipedreams, never one to be held back by the financial consequences. Bongiorno also quotes the former Treasurer saying he was horrified when Abbott confessed to learning his economics at the feet of B.A. Santamaria.
Abbott replies disarmingly: "Peter is my friend, my colleague, in some respects my mentor. He has a great turn of phrase and one of the points I've been making to Peter Costello is just as he has changed, I've changed ... my tendency to channel the late, great B.A. Santamaria ... These days when I am not channelling Noel Pearson, I'm channelling Peter Costello."
1.15 pm: SBS TV reporter Karen Middleton asks a trickily-constructed question on Abbott's plan to speak to naval commanders by telephone on whether to turn back unlawful boat arrivals. If PM Abbott was on the phone and a naval commander advised him it would be unsafe to turn a particular boat away, would he accept the naval advice? If yes, how come he is promising voters he will turn back the boats? It's a kind of barrister's question designed to ensnare the witness. Abbott avoids the trap by the most simple politician's expedient: not answering the question. He says he makes no apologies for saying he would take a hands on approach as PM to boat arrivals. The normal military chain of command would be followed where naval commanders reported to NORCOM which reported to the chief of the defence force who reported in turn to the government.
1.08 pm: First question from Canberra press gallery to Tony Abbott comes from the Melbourne Herald-Sun's Phillip Hudson and is on the republic. Abbott makes it clear there will be no move to a republic on his watch, including after the end of Queen Elizabeth's reign. "The Australian people have shown themselves to be remarkably attached to institutions that work ... Our existing constitutional arrangements have worked well in the past. I see no reason whatsoever why they can't continue to work well in the future ... I'm far from certain, at least in our lifetimes, that there is likely to be any significant change."
1.00 pm: Liberal Party focus group research must be showing a "hesitation factor" on voters' minds about tossing out a first term government because Abbott wraps up his address by returning to the theme that this government does not deserve the traditional leniency afforded to first termers. "Why should people feel squeamish about changing the government when the government itself felt no compunction whatsoever about removing the Prime Minister, removing the Prime Minister without pity or remorse," he says.
12.53 pm: By contrast, Tony Abbott says, if the Coalition wins the election there will be:
12.50 pm: Abbott says the election should not be about "comparative trivia" such as how leaders perform in debates or town hall style meetings, it should be about what will happen to the country if either side elected.
If Labor is elected, he says, there will be:
12.41 pm: Next Tony Abbott addresses the traditional honeymoon effect, the tendency of voters to give first term governments another go. He says this time is different because of the dumping of Rudd by Labor. It was Kevin 07 who the voters elected for a first term back in 2007, not Julila Gillard so she should not be afforded the usual first term honeymoon by the electorate. "Why should people respect a government elected in 2007 when that government did not respect itself enough to keep its own leader?" he asks rhetorically.
12.37 pm: Abbott opens his Press Club address thus: "Ladies and gentlemen, every election is important but this particular election is unique ... It pits a party that builds a record surplus against a party that is responsible for record deficits ... It pits a party which paid back $96 billion of government debt in 10 years against one which is running up $95 billion of government debt in five years ... It pits a party which respects its leader against one which assassinates a Prime Minister at the first dip in the opinion polls."
12.32 pm: And he's off! The bell has just rung at the National Press Club for Tony Abbott's traditional final week address.
12.07 am: While we ready ourselves for Tony Abbott at the National Press Club, here's our latest "poll of polls" chart showing all national poll findings this year together with The Pulse's estimate of the underlying trend.
For the nerdishly inclined, our trends are estimated using a "LOWESS" locally weighted regression. It is a kind of running average which puts more weight on the most recent poll results and less weight on observations further back in the past (or on outliers like last week's Morgan Face to Face poll which had Labor on 57.5 per cent of the two-party vote). Click on the thumbnail to see full-size chart.
11.51 am: The PM is moving from Townsville to Mackay with a skeleton press crew. Our reporter embedded in the Gillard campaign, Jake Saulwick, says the main travelling media contingent will meet up with her later in the day in the central Queensland mining town of Emerald. Labor is investing significant resources in the marginal Queensland seats of Herbert (based on Townsville), Dawson (which takes in Mackay) and Flynn (which extends from Gladstone on the coast to Emerald and other points in central Queensland's mining districts.)
11.38am: Abbott, taking questions now at his Canberra presser, says the Coalition will return the budget to surplus for 2012-2013. Hockey says the Coalition's infrastructure bonds policy will reduce the cost of capital, so some projects which might have been marginal will be able to go ahead.
Abbott will address the press club at 12.30 today, and we will of course blog it live.
11.07am: Abbott is giving a presser in Canberra this morning, making an announcement on "real action on employment participation". Employers who give jobs to long term unemployed people under 30 will be eligible for a $2500 payment, as well as a bonus of up to $6000 for job seekers who move to a regional areas to take up a job.
Abbott says he has taken his inspiration on this issue from Noel Pearson, who is the "gutsiest and most imaginative and innovative thinker on these sorts of issues".
Hockey is now on, talking about the Coalition's "economic action plan", followed by Andrew Robb, who says that 73 per cent of Labor's election spending has been directed to Labor seats. Pork-barrelling during an election - mais non!
Robb announces a new Coalition policy: infrastructure bonds. A Coalition government will identify a range of nationally important projects - they could be water or road related but all will have a strong productivity outcome. The companies who successfully tender for these projects will be able to issue bonds to fund the project.
There will be a ten per cent tax rebate for these bonds.
10.52am: Apparently members from the Australian Youth Climate Coalition (aka the climate elephants who have been silently haunting both leaders during the campaign) will gather today in City Square in Melbourne for an "elephant themed flashdance" to draw attention to, you guess it, climate change.
Flashdance is one of The Pulse's favourite '80s films.
Who knew the climate elephant was a steel-worker by day and an exotic dancer by night, and harboured secret dreams of becoming a ballerina?
10.24am: On Q&A last night, Abbott also let slip that the 1.5 per cent levy he will impose on big business to pay for his parental leave scheme may last ten years.
He said: "Our intention is eventually to remove it (the levy), but I'm not going to say it's going to happen in three years or five years or even in 10 years".
10.11am: And here is a pic of Abbott getting lint-free and camera-ready before last night's Q&A appearance. Did he and Tony consult on the tie co-ordination issue? They are almost mirroring eachother. Bless.
9.56am: By popular demand (okay just one or two blog commenters, but we're taking them as representative), we have taken a straw poll of the newsroom on Abbott's Q&A appearance last night. Most think it was an assured and relaxed appearance. Apparently he got a few very easy questions. But the best question, by common consensus, was a inquiry from a Vietnam vet, who said he had a gay son and wanted to know why Abbott opposed his son's right to marry. According to one Pulse operative, he handled this question with compassion, and respectfully said he disagreed. Another operative said he thought Abbott's answer was "patronising". There was also a random Kevin Rudd impersonator who went down like a ..err.. bad smell in the Cabinet room.
9.30am: Yesterday it was widely reported that Gillard delivered her Labor party speech sans notes (The Pulse reported that she was "apparently speaking off the cuff, with no auto-cue"). This was the story circulating among the gathered hacks, and reported by many of them. Nicola Roxon also said after the speech that Gillard did it without notes. In actual fact the PM might have done it without an autocue, but she did have notes. Our photographer Andrew Meares captured them:
And the close-up:
9.24am: Gerard Henderson tells us the reasons why a hung parliament would be a nightmare. The last time we had one was in 1940 and it didn't work out so well, he says.
8.52am: And so to the heavy-hitters. Paul Kelly in The Australian writes that Gillard's launch was lacking passion but she showed some fight. It was Labor not at its inspiring best, but asking humbly for a second chance to prove itself.
8.31am: Exciting news for Gaga fans - Gillard has a connection to the wacked-out songstress. Her eldest (de facto) step-daughter, Staci Child, is a trendy New York stylist and hairdresser who has worked with Gaga. Gillard made this surprising yet highly cool revelation during an interview yesterday with singer Clare Bowditch. The interview will be live on MySpace at 6pm today but you can read the preview story here.
Below is a picture of Staci from her Facebook page.
8.25am: A local reporter asks, "When you buy a pie, should the sauce come for free?" Apparently that's a big issue in Townsville (and an important one for our times).
Gillard says: "I grew up in the days that the tomato sauce did come for free..."
She goes through the pros and cons of the tomato sauce bottle versus the plastic squeezy things, and concludes, "I guess it's better when the sauce comes for free."
The Pulse is non-partisan, but we have to say we agree with the PM on this point.
8.18am: Gillards says she is a Republican but understands that the nation has a deep affection for Queen Elizabeth. She says the appropriate time to think about the Republic is "when the monarch changes". Gasp! She has just wished for Liz's death! Treasonous colonial!
8.15am: Gillard gives a non-answer about her stance on immigration numbers. She concedes certain parts of the country need immigrants, but repeats that she is for a sustainable Australia not a big Australia. Whatever that means. She has never really defined the concept for us.
8.05am: Gillard is on now, wearing a white blazer over a lipstick-pink cami. She is joined by Swan and the local Labor candidate for Herbert, Tony Mooney. She is there to welcome the start of the NBN construction on the mainland, and repeats the mantra about her economic plan: e-health consultation for regional Aussies via high-speed broadband.
Abbott has been running from an economic debate for weeks, she says, and timed his turn-around for the evening of her campaign launch. But he still running for a "fair dinkum" economic debate, because Abbott will only talk on the economics for 15 minutes.
Gillard says Abbott's "tax on groceries" will last ten years. She also refers to an open letter signed by 51 economists who all agree that it was the Labor government stimulus which "saved" our economy. Hmmm.
Swan is on now trying to gain more mileage from the costings issue - he is maintaining the rage about the Coalition's refusal to submit their election promises to Treasury for costing. Sigh.
Gillard now faces a question about her partner Tim Mathieson's eldest daughter. Gillard says she has met Stacey once when she visited her in the United States, where Stacey is based.
8.01am: Townsville in in the marginal seat of Herbert, which is held by LNP MP Peter Lindsay. He is a popular local member but is retiring this election after 14 years in the job, which means Labor has a chance of winning the seat. Apparently Gillard will this morning make an announcement about the rollout of broadband in regional areas - the continuation of her pitch yesterday to regional voters in QLD.
7.58am: To the leaders' movements: Gillard is in Townsville this morning, and will soon give a press conference. Abbott is in Canberra.
7.56am: The Australian splashes with a story about Abbott's agreeing to debate Gillard after all. Abbott wants to "flush her out" on the subject of economics, Matthew Franklin reports.
7.51am: The Daily Telegraph eschews the launch for its front page, publishing instead a piece about Darren Jameson, Liberal candidate for Robertson, who the paper alleges has been accused of "man-handling" two 13-year-old boys he wrongly believed had thrown eggs at his car, but he strongly refutes the allegations. The Liberal party said that Jameson was the victim of a "dirty tricks campaign".
7.46am: The front page of the Australian Financial Review is also dominated by yesterday's launch. David Crowe writes that Gillard "promised a new era of economic opportunity in an upbeat campaign speech that offered only modest new spending but built on her electoral advantages in health and broadband policy."
7.38am: Still on the SMH, Peter Hartcher writes that Gillard did not ask for the trust of Queenslanders, or the wider Australian public at the launch yesterday. Instead she asked for belief, and told us about her beliefs - in the power of hard work, the transformative power of education, health care and optimism.
7.30am: Also in the SMH, David Marr writes that the launch was austere and modest, and in sharp contrast to the hope and happiness of the mood in Brisbane last election.
7.20am: Good morning and aloha. Tony Abbott has agreed to debate Julia Gillard but the two are still playing silly buggers on time and location. It's like watching two teenagers flirt. Excruciating.
Most of today's front pages are dominated by yesterday's Labor launch. Writing in the SMH, Phil Coorey says Gillard sought to inspire voters with a vision of the future, and by casting Abbott as a "naysayer" who would only take Australia backwards.

Rapid prototyping maker 3D Systems (DDD) appears poised to retake its buy point after pulling back in lighter volume amid the market's recent turbulence.
The stock is practically at the 44.90 cup-base entry, which it initially cleared Nov. 1 in weak turnover before reversing 6% lower the next day. The drop may have been due to disappointment over a weak fourth-quarter earnings outlook at rival Stratasys (SSYS).
Both companies make computer-controlled machines that produce three-dimensional objects used mainly to prototype parts in the auto, medical and aerospace industries. The machines help to cut costs and save time by eliminating the need for expensive handmade tooling.
On Oct. 25, 3D Systems said third-quarter profit jumped 78%, far above expectations. Revenue climbed 57%, also beating views. The company also boosted its full-year outlook, saying it expected to continue benefiting from strong R&D spending worldwide despite economic uncertainty.
The stock soared almost 14% in heavy volume following the announcement, retaking its 50-day line and starting a four-day climb that built the right side of the base. Volume trailed off after the initial spike, but 3D managed to clear its buy point and hit a new high before pulling back.
The stock boasts a best-possible 99 Composite Rating, highest in the Machinery-Material Handling industry group, which was ranked fifth out of 197 Thursday. Meanwhile, 3D's Accumulation-Distribution Rating is B, indicating that the shares are in demand. And its Relative Strength line is at an all-time high, a sign the stock is outperforming the market.
On the downside, 3D's cup base is a third-stage pattern, which is more prone to failure than earlier-stage bases. Also, it's risky to buy any stock during a market correction.

-stcox- is the Stata command for estimating a cox model, and it allows
multiple independent variables, and the output immediately gives you
hazard ratios. See the example below. The -xi:- prefix used in this
example is a convenience program that makes dummy variables from the
variable drug. So both _Idrug_2 and _Idrug_3 compare with _Idrug_1 (the
category left out, or the reference category).

Welcome to the board!
Would that be Sweatnbullets as is Sweating Bullets AKA scared to death?
OR is that rather Sweatnbullets as in Sweat And Bullets because you work so hard expending Multitudes Of Thousands of bullets. AKA Much Hard Training & Prolific Shooter.
I think we need a clarification.
Hey...Welcome to the forum. Join Right In.

My current focus as a threat focused instruction has been, by far, my favorite part of the journey. The human body and mind are amazing things. We have spent so much time training away from our natural abilities and reactions, that very few of us really know what we are really capable of.

But Pizza Hut, the world's biggest pizza chain, is about to bet the store that it can convince pizza aficionados they no longer need to be in Chicago to get the real thing — and can even have it delivered.
The pizza giant will announce plans today to take a Chicago-style deep-dish pizza — which looks more like a pie than pizza and weighs about 3 pounds — coast to coast. The rollout of its Chicago Dish Pizza will rank among Pizza Hut's biggest ever.
It comes at a time other chains are making similar moves. With industrywide pizza sales stalled at about $29 billion, most of the big chains are looking for anything to boost sales whether it's new pizzas or less typical pizzeria dishes such as chicken fillets.
Industry experts say Chicago-style pizza could generate consumer interest. Pizza Hut says what allowed them to put an authentic version on the menu was figuring out a secret way to cook the Chicago-style pie — which typically takes up to 1 hour — in 10 minutes.
But the head chef at one of Chicago's most famous pizzerias is unconvinced. "A Chicago pizza is not achievable in that time frame," says Jim Freeland, corporate chef at Lou Malnati's Pizzeria, a 30-year-old Chicago institution with 20 restaurants. "Anything we've looked at to speed up the process lessens the quality."
Not so, says Pizza Hut.
"It took us 10 years to develop this," says Cindy Hennessy, marketing chief at Pizza Hut. "We finally have a pizza that measures up to a true Chicago pizza."
She projects that 14% of the chain's pizza sales soon will be Chicago Dish Pizza. Its ad slogan: "So deep you'll need a fork."
One rub: "I don't know how many people outside of Chicago know what a Chicago pizza is," says Jeremy White, executive editor of Pizza Today.
By most definitions, a Chicago-style pizza is a hearty pizza that's tough to eat by hand. It's typically baked in a pan with dough lining the sides, has extra thick ingredients and often has a doughy or flaky top covered with more tomato sauce and other ingredients.
Pizza Hut isn't alone in trying deep-dish pizzas. What others are up to:
Since then, the chain has grown considerably. Boston-based Uno Restaurant Corp. now owns 113 Pizzeria Uno Chicago Bar & Grill restaurants and has 61 franchisees in 30 states.
But Pizza Hut executives say theirs is authentic Chicago and unlike Little Caesars Deep Dish.
Domino's hasn't run national TV spots for its Ultimate Deep Dish pizza in six years, he says.

Day 03: My new home
More layouts using Bedouin Nights Bundle
Recent Comments
Thank you! It´s an old one and, seing it now, I see how I have improoved. Need to re-open the .psd and tweak the shadows...
It may not have turned out as you want it to, but it is a very successful page. Thank you for sharing it and your story.
I love all the little extras. And the fun journaling in different places
what a great page, I was deciding on whether or not i wanted to get the glitter papers from the Bedouin kit, you've sold me!
I could never resist an animal layout, very cute cat, love the colours
i'm not sure what it says, but I LOVE this layout!!! i love how you used those glittery triangles and how you've placed the word art. great job!!! :)
What a creative layout! And what an adorable looking kitten!
Don't hate my... but I'm not really a cat person. However, you made it look really lovable. The layout is great. I have long been struggling with all the washi tape I have in my archive, not really knowing how to use it best. But now I know - Thanks :0)
wonderful interpretation Lórien!!! I especially like the triangle glittered circle embellishment and all the washi tapes!!! well done!
Great layout. I love the placement of all the assets and journaling.
Lorien - I too love shadows! I find that if I put the light source ABOVE (so the shadows below) that it has a more realistic look. But that is just my opinion...as soon as I earn enough points I can post some of my layouts (brand new as I type this) - I can't even take on this challenge!
Have a good week!
Fun! Love all the little details you've put in here.
Love the supplies you chose, including the washi tape! Great job! Sweet kitty, too!
Really nice one :)
wow! i like it!

About Me
I am a thirty-something years-old Brazilian, married for almost a decade, and with no human kids for now, but 5 cats istead. I was a teacher, but I gave up on teaching, profession that I chose to young to know what I was doing, and I´m looking for other possibilities. Right now I´m sharing time between my own business and helping at a no-kill cat shelter.
I have been digiscrapping and designing for a couple of years, but I still need to learn a lot. I´m also in geek/nerdy culture, and I love literature!
Type of ProjectDigital Scrapbook Layout
When I saw the layout proposed to it, the first thing that called me attention was that the layout was very "verticalized", although full of horizontal lines, and I tried to reproduce it. And the first thing that I deceided was that I´d like to use washi tape, a material that I never used before (not even in "real paper" scrapping).
Next, I realised that Bedouin Nights kit had almost all things that I needed... except the notebook background, which is a file that I also found here!
Work with the washi tapes and transparent paper was very hard, and I had some problems to add shadows. The result wasn´t as good as I´d like it to be, but I still liked it!
And I made the third page of my 5th kitten´s diary!
(Yeah, my living room is decorated with a HUGE vintage world map. Later I plan to make a page showing it properly )

I moved to Chico a little over two years ago. I suffer from fibromyalgia and severe depression, and had gone to Ampla Health Center on Cohasset shortly after moving here to see about some treatment for this — a non-narcotic treatment. They started me on a wonder drug, Cymbalta, which treats my nerve pain and the depression all in one. Fantastic. I have been on it, having great results, for about a year now.
Then, I became a student at Butte College, and started using their health center. This past Friday, when the health center would be closed, I went into Ampla Health Center to desperately beg them for a free sample of the medication, for until my insurance is back on. In a clinic that accepts walk-ins, they refused to even see me, though I offered to wait for hours if necessary, because I had not been there in a while. I needed an appointment, they insisted. And of course, their clinic would not be open until Monday. I was sobbing, and very desperate. I told them I was suicidal even, and they turned me away. Do no harm? No. Apparently that means nothing to them.
Sadists belong in a dungeon, not in a health clinic.
— Katrina Perry, Chico

We arrived at Singapore and were directed to the MRT station by a friendly local who watched us struggle with three bags each and he his arms the same lenght, still he did know the way. I realised then that i had no Singapore dollar to pay for the MRT and luckily could borrow from Miriam a fare of $1.40. Singapore Airport is billed as one of the best in the world to stop over in and in a way it is, and in a way it is a bit misleading. We had both been told you could relax in the pool or have a shower or take part in the Airport gameshow. First , all of these are in Transit (after check in ) and you have to pay S$5.50 for a shower, S$10.50 for a dip in the overcrowded pool, and buy S$10 worth of airport vouchers to enter a draw for the chance of getting on the gameshow!
Not exactly a rip of but information beforehand would have been good.
I checked in at Cathay pacific for the radiculous journey of Sinapore to Bangkok and a wait to go to Bombay. Only to be told i was not booked on the flight to Bombay and would have to go on Standby with 34 others!!! The next flight would have been Thursday. I panicked but could not get STA in Singapore to answer the phone, or get an answer from Cathay Pacific in Bangkok. So the only answer was to hope and get to bangkok which i did, and made use of the personal tv screen in the seat and a great in flight service. At Bangkok i was met with a guy with a sign saying 'Mr. Brownes' and i had to go to transfer desk No.2, i did and was presented with a boarding pass for the flight to Bombay. Fantastic, did i stop to spare a thought for the other 34 people on standby? ............NO!
I arrived after the 3.5 hr flight to Mumbai to a sign reading Mr Andrew Browne as arranged by Paul. It took me to the hotel and as i had just changed the last of my travellers cheques i had a smallest note of 100rpe which i tipped the driver/porter only to be told that was his aveage daily wage! Bonus!
I was knackered, so after a quick walk round the hotel road i settled to watch England get thrashed at cricket.
The next day i walked the 100yds to the domestic departures terminal and collected the ticket to Goa. a 44min flight and the best meal i have had on a plane later and i was in deserted beach resort in Baga Goa! Perfect, I had a great meal (Chicken Do Piaza) and then heard a familiar accent at the bar (Ian from Cliftonville rd Belfast) who was on his way home also in a few days! he Colin form London and I spent the next few hours over G+T's and Kingfisher beer recalling all the things we miss about home.
I managed to catch up with Mel via MSN Messenger to find she has my old job in the Irish Bar and is drinking more than I did! It was great to chat but frustrating also!
anyway that is all for now, I stay here to read and chill for 4 more days then go to bangalore to meet Paul and Kim, and then Delhi on Wednesday.
Take care AB
Mone and JJ Happy Birthday

Rev. William H. "Billy" Cole
United Pentecostal Church International
1934 ~ 2009
William H. "Billy" Cole was born to Reverend Jewel C. and Reverend Mary S. Cole in Newark, Ohio, on July 28, 1934. He was baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ at 7 years of age and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit at the age of 12 at the Buckeye Lake Camp in Ohio. Nathaniel Urshan was the evangelist and S.G. Norris was the daytime teacher.
At the age of 19, Billy married Shirley Ann Kelbaugh in Parkersburg, West Virginia, on December 22, 1953. After moving to Weirton, West Virginia, for work in the laboratory at Weirton Steel, he recognized that God was calling him to preach. God revealed this to his wife while Billy was away working the night shift. One night God awoke shirley and she heard an audible voice ask, "Are you willing to sacrafice if I call your husband into the ministry?" She was frightened and didn't answer. The second night it happened again, and she responded in the same way. Thr third night it happened, God's voice came to her three times, very loud and strong. Shirley leaped out of bed and told the Lord, "If this is really You and I am not having some kind of illusion, cause Billy to say something to me this morning when he comes in." Sure enough he did, and she was convinced.
They began their ministry by going door to door witnessing. Pastor Allen Cayton came to them after Sunday morning service and asked, "Why haven't you told me God has called you to preach?" Later, without notice, Pastor Cayton called upon Billy to preach. After his first sermon, a catholic lady, whom the Coles had brought to church, received the Holy Ghost.
Brother and Sister Cole's first major effort was to open a new church in Ravenswood, West Virginia. Not a single Pentecostal of any sort resided in the whole county. They began by pitching a small tent and preaching every night for a month, resulting in 16 adults being baptized in Jesus' name.
In Ravenswood, they saw their first great healing miracle. One day they received a call that Sister Barnes, who had been baptized and had received the Holy Ghost, was dying, and the doctor was on the way to the house. Rushing there, praying all the way, Billy believed God had promised to heal her. However, when he got there, the house was filled with people. The doctor had already closed her eyes and covered her with a sheet. The doctor said, "You're too late, Preacher; she's gone!" But Billy, believing God to heal her, told the family he would pray for her anyway if they wanted him to. Pulling the sheet down to her shoulders, he prayed. nothing happened. He prayed louder, but still nothing happened. Then he got angry and shouted, "Sister Barnes, get up!" She sat straight up in bed and was healed. Reverned Ziegler, her former United Brethren pastor who was there, fell face down on the floor.
After pastoring in Ravenswood a few years, Brother and Sister Cole traveled as evangelists. A number of people received the Holy Ghost and were baptized. During this time they also witnessed several notable apostolic events. Then they pastored a church in Spencer, West Virginia, with a congregation of one hundred people. The church was debt free when the Coles moved on.
The Coles were invited to Elyeria, Pennsylvania, to preach for their former pastor, Brother Cayton, who was starting a new home missions church. one day while Brother Cayton was at work and Sister Cayton and Sister Cole were shopping, Brother Cole was studying the book of Esther in the Cayton's apartment. Brother Cole's answered a knock on the door to find a visitor holding a note with the address of the Cayton's apartment.
He said, "I am Reverened Boon Mark Gittisan, the general secretary for the Presbyterian Church of Thailand. I have been in Detroit, New York City, and Toronto, Canada. I don't know who gave me this note or for what reason." Brother Cole was afraid of him but invited him in anyway, thinking about the verse of Scripture, "Some have entertained angels unawares."
Brother Cole checked to see if Pastor Cayton's address was in the church directory, but it was so new it was not listed at all.
Brother Cole then asked Brother Gittisan, "Have you ever heard of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking with other tongues?"
Brother Gittisan said, "Yes, I speak with tongues; there are six of us in Thailand who do."
Brother Cole then intended to ask, "Have you ever heard of being baptized by immersion in the name of Jesus?" But Brother gittisan interrupted Brother Cole and said, "Oh yes, I have been baptized by immersion in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost."
Brother cole asked, "Reverend Gittisan, what is the name of the Son?" Reverend Gittisan was stunned. As tears filled Brother Gittisan's eyes, Brother Cole asked, "Are you having a heart attack?"
Brother Gittisan answered, "No. You see I can quote the entire New Testament. When you asked me that question, all the scriptures finally came together. Like a curtain being rolled back, I could see Jesus Christ as He really is." Reverened Gittisan was baptized the next day.
This miraculous visit led to the Coles' being sent to Thailand as missionaries. in seven years they baptized nearly 6,000 Buddists and witnessed a mighty outpouring of the Holy Ghost. One of their first converts, Reverend Chalyong Wattanchant, has been superintendent of the Thailand churches for more then 35 years.
While in Thailand, Brother Cole suffered a stroke, which paralyzed his left arm. teh Coles returned to the USA. However, upon his being healed, they returned to Asia as evangelists. Thousands were baptized ad filled with the Holy Ghost. When Sister Cole became sick, they returned to the USA again. When her health improved, they went to Wheeling, West Virginia. They gathered together six people who were baptized in Jesus' name and filled with the Holy Ghost, and in four years they baptized another 450 people and prayed them through to the Holy Ghost.
After leaving Wheeling, the Cole's returned to evangelizing overseas. When Brother Cole's father asked him to come home to help build a new building in Parkersburg, West Virginia, he did.
When this building was finished, the Cole's moved to Charleston, West Virginia, in 1981 to pastor the North Charleston Apostolic Church. They remained in Charleston for over 23 years. Brother Cole's grandson, reverend Anthony Moss, took over the church upon Brother Cole's retirement.
Brother Cole preached many camp meetings and revival services, seeing many filled with the Holy Ghost. The last ten years of his ministry, he preached crusades at home and overseas. sisteen times, more than 3,000 received the Holy Ghost in a single service. The Cole's preached for 50 years and were just short of seeing one million people receive the Holy Ghost. They were dilligent in training many young men, too numerous to mention, to carry on their ministry. Brother Cole served on the Executive Board for two terms, and he aslo served on the Foreign Missions Board, where he was an honorary member.
On July 27, 2009, Brother Billy Cole was called home to be with the Lord.
Rev. J.T. Pugh
United Pentecostal Church
In the winter of 1943 I was ordained as a minister of The Pentecostal Assemblies of Jesus Christ. I did not fill out an application for license. I did not meet the District Board. R.L. Blankenship, Superintendent of The Pentecostal Assemblies of Jesus Christ, Texas District just decided that I should be ordained during a district meeting. The District Secretary, Phillips, got my first license for me, signed by W. T. Witherspoon and S. R. Hanby.
On August 20, 1944, I was married to a beautiful, dedicated, young lady. Bessie Beryl Halbrooks has been the greatest event of my life, besides Jesus Christ. She was the first and only girl I ever dated. She bore three wonderful children; Datha Dees, Terry and Nathanael Pugh. We have been married for sixty years and I love her more now than I ever have. She has been so very faithful and supportive.
While we were still in college and she taught school, we pastored briefly in Hillsboro, Texas. During our short pastorate, the attendance tripled. We grew from an attendance of five to a robust fifteen in number. Perhaps we over did it and were getting too large. One Sunday night after church, the main leader of the church told me that they no longer wanted me as pastor. So we walked away with a heavy heart.
After graduating from Bible School, my wife and I traveled as evangelist for a short time. We did not own a car and knew that there was little likelihood that we would ever own one. I did not have the money to buy her bus ticket to our first revival after we married. I left her at the bus station in tears.
We were called to pastor in Wichita Falls, Texas in 1945. World War II had just come to a close. The military base closed and the city went into a slump. The church shrunk in size. We had the privilege of preaching in Life Tabernacle, in Wichita Falls in the year of 2000. Pastor Wendell Elms was so kind. Over 400 people worshipped in a large beautiful building on a splendid location. My heart swelled with gratitude.
The next day my wife and I drove by the corner on Kemp and Jay where the little dwelling house had been converted into a place of worship. We recalled on Sunday night, we would count the money the people had handed us that weekend. If it was more than $2.50 we would walk to a drug store and drink a lime aid. We only bought one drink but asked for two straws. There were quiet a few Sunday nights we did not get a lime aid. Our offering had been less than $2.50.
From 1946 to 1948, we evangelized. During this time we purchased a car.
We went to West Lake, Louisiana to reopen a work that had been closed. There our first child, Datha Jo was born. We only stayed in West Lake 1-1/2 years, but God greatly blessed. We were able to leave eighty wonderful saints behind, a finished parsonage and a self supporting work. To God be the glory for the large church there now so well pastored by Mark R. Stanton.
In 1949, at age twenty-seven, Bessie and I moved to Port Arthur, Texas to pastor The First Pentecostal Church. We lived and ministered there for seventeen years. The Lord raised up a strong congregation, a new parsonage and a new church building.
In January of 1967, the General Board of the United Pentecostal Church appointed me, to fill the unexpired term of Haskell Yadon, as General Home Missions Director. After filling that office for six years, we withdrew from it feeling this to be the will of God. We thank God for the wonder, the growth, and vision that God brought to the United Pentecostal Church. I am grateful for the faithful work of great men who served in the Home Missions Department in those days. I appreciate the privilege of working with S.W. Chamber, my General Superintendent.
Bessie and I felt it Gods will to come to Odessa, Texas in 1974 to pastor The First United Pentecostal Church. For nineteen years, we enjoyed revival and growth. During our pastorate, God gave us a new building with a 1,000 seat auditorium. Also, I had the privilege for eight years of serving the Texico District as their District Superintendent.
At this time both Bessie and I are eighty years old. We love the United Pentecostal Church. We witnessed its beginning and hopefully contributed in a small way to its growth. It has been our home since its beginning. In this fellowship we will die and be buried.
Bishop Sherrod C. Johnson
Church of the Lord Jesus Christ
1901 ~ 1961
Bishop Sherrod C. Johnson was born on November 24, 1901, in the little town of Pine Tree Quarters, Edgecomb County, North Carolina. It has been said that the lovely night that Sherrod came into the world was calm and serene. The stars spangled the skies with a florescent brightness as the whole horizon of the world seemed to shine with luster of mid-day around the tiny cottage amidst the pines.
The birth of this infant son to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, marked a turning point in the history of the Apostolic Faith Movement in the 20th century. That fateful night everyone hustled about, and preparations were made for the birth of one who was to become a world figure, one who would bring to the world a new concept of things that pertain to God's word.
His childhood began in Pine Tree Quarters. At the age of three months, he took his first steps. Always active as a child, he began working in the cotton fields at the age of nine - chopping cotton for the meager amount of twenty-five cents per day. Eventually, due to his faithfulness, his boss raised his wages to forty-cents per day. The memories of his childhood were not always pleasant to think about neither were they altogether tranquil. The turbulent experience of his early years were the underlying factor in the the molding of his distinctive qualities; his moral, as well as his eccentric characteristics which later in his life would produce in him an advantage in everything he attepmted to do.
During this time is when Sherrod's heart was drawn to the Lord. As of yet, however, he knew little of God or thr fact that man should serve Him. That is something that was revealed to him much later in his life. As a child, Sherrod had a vision of seeing himself being buried one day. His fears greatly overcame him. His mother held him in her arms until his fears subsided. Gently she explained in her own way the difference between life and death. The fact that if a man lived a life acceptable unto God he had hope of eternal life, but on the other hand if he lived a life of sin, he was destined to a life of eternal damnation.
Perhaps the underlying factor in his coming to Christ, can be accredited to his contact with some people in his community who were members of a Holiness Church in the vicinity. To most people in the settlement they were an erratic group. This group was so diverse from the average religious gathering, until their fame spread throughout the community as being religious fanatics. One day a lady said to Sherrod, (then just a lad) "Son, how would you like to be holy?" This question stayed with him, and took root, and then began to grow until it became a reality.
In Halifax, N.C., there was a holiness church. This is where Sherrod C. Johnson first heard the holiness message preached. Here is where he deeply considered holiness. To the other spectators who came mostly out of curiosity, the words might have been the fanatic babbling of some fanatic minister.However, for Sherrod his entire soul cried out for the gift of the Holy Ghost. One night while in bed, God poured out on him the gift of the Holy Ghost, as it was received in the Bible in Acts 2:4. His cup was indeed filled to overflowing. From the moment that he received the Holy Ghost, he went around fighting for Christ, as much as he knew.
Eventually, he moved to Philadelphia, PA., where he came in contact with a man who told him about water baptism in Jesus' name. He immediately went to 1720 South Street and was baptized, thus completing his salvation according to God's eternal Word.Bishop Johnson became pastor of his first church (a storefront) in 1919. He became a member of the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith in New York City, and was ordained by presiding bishop, R.C. Lawson. He apparently had a problem with some of Bishop Lawson's teachings. While he accepted some of the main points of Lawson's theology, Sherrod became "tired of the slack" as he put it, over the improper dress attire that Lawson allowed for women.Upon this, he separated himself from Bishop Lawson in 1932., and started his own organization, which he named, "The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic faith."
Bishop Johnson was indeed a charismatic and unique individual. He ruled the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ with an iron fist and a velvet tongue until the time of his death. On February 25, 1961, while in Kingston, Jamacia on vacation he fell on sleep. He was 62 years of age, and said to be a multi-millionaire. He will long be remembered in the annuals of Apostolic church history as someone who marched to the beat of a different drummer. He was deeply controlled by his own convictions, and once stated that unless a man had been baptized by him in Jesus' name, he had not been baptized. Audio Recordings of Bishop S.C. Johnson are available in our Audio Library.
Rev. Bervick Atwood Spell
Apostolic Ministers Fellowship
1930 ~ Present
Reverend B.A. Spell was born on January 7, 1930, in the small town of Eunice, Louisiana to Tony and Floy Spell. In 1939, at the age of nine Bervick was baptized in Jesus' name, and was filled with the Holy Ghost. His home church was the United Pentecostal Church in Richie, Louisiana, and his first pastor was Brother Henry Dunn. Elder Spell recalls as a child how his parents were poor, and money was scarce in those day's. His father would turn out the old oil burning lamps early, in order to make the oil last as long as it could. Then he would gather his wife and children around him, and have devotions, and pray before going to bed. It was things such as this that instilled deep into the heart of young Bervick the desire to walk with God, and to learn of His ways.
At the age of nine he first met a young eight year old girl named Dorothy Brown. They went to church together, played together, and fought as children, but on June 22, 1947, they were united in holy matrimony. Their pastor, Brother J.S. Hoyt performed the cerimony at the Richie, Pentecostal Church. To this union was born seven children. Afterward they settled down in Eunice, Louisiana, but attended the church in Richie.
In 1950, Brother Spell went into business as a part owner/manager of the Piggly Wiggly Grocery store in Eunice, Louisiana where he worked until 1953. In 1953 at the age of twenty-three he received his call to preach. His first sermon was from the book of Isaiah, where the prophet said, "Here am I, send me." This historical occasion took place in "Church Point, Louisiana". In 1954 he was ordained by S.L. Wise at Tioga, Louisiana. It was also during this same year that he became affiliated with the United Pentecostal Church organization.
The first church that he pastored was the First Pentecostal Church in Pine Praire, Louisiana. He took the church in 1953, and stayed one year. The second church he pastored was the First Pentecostal Church in Turkey Creek, Louisiana. He held this position for five years, from 1954 until 1959. On November 1, 1959, he moved his family to West Baton Rouge, Louisisna, and started the First Pentecostal Church in Port Allen. This was a home missions outreach. He began services in an old store-front building on Rosedale, and 12th Street. In this same year Brother Crawford Coon preached the first revival for the church, and a great number received the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
In 1965 a tremendous revival broke out as a young evangelist named Verbal Bean came to Port Allen with a burden for souls on his heart. Brother Bean felt like God was going to give him a one hundred soul revival, but he had no confirmation as to where it would take place. When the confirmation came that Port Allen was the place, God began to move. It was a mighty revival that lasted for fourteen weeks, and during this time 106 people received the Holy Ghost. In 1968 the church purchased ten acres on Plank Road, and built a new sanctuary, and Sunday School department. The same year Brother Spell started the Robert Livingston Acadamy, with grades 1-12. The school enrolled 430 students, and remained open until 1978.
From 1970 until 1972, the church experienced a series of revivals, and the congregation doubled in size. In 1979, a new spacious 1200 seat santuary was built. 1968 was the beginning of the annual July camp-meeting held at Life Tabernacle. Elder Bill Buie was the first camp evangelist fir this historical occasion. In 1985 another santuary was built. When you think about Apostolic-Pentecost, you have to think about B.A. Spell. He is a "Living Legend" throughout the Oneness movement. In 1968, he became a charter member in the formation of the Apostolic Minister's Fellowship (AMF).
When asked the name of someone he most admired, his reply was, "The late Verbal W. Bean". When asked why? Brother Spell answered, "Because of the impact that Brother Bean left upon my life. Brother Bean was a praying man, a dedicated warrior for God. He was uniquely different. What he said held value, and depth. He was no stranger to the things of God, and he died as he lived...walking with and serving God". When asked what he most wanted to be remembered for? He replied, "Mission work, both foreign and home". Audio and Video recordings of Elder B.A. Spell are available in the audio/video library of the Apostolic Archives International.
His childhood was then that of a classic pioneer Pentecostal familysuffering rejection and denunciation from community and family members but experiencing mighty miracles of healing, provision, and salvation. In 1927, at the tender age of 8, he attended Mattie Crawfords Miracle Healing Revival in Mishawaka, Indiana, and was baptized in St. Josephs River in the Name of Jesus. In that revival, he witnessed miracles of healingpeople throwing down crutches and getting out of wheelchairs, running and leaping for joy. His sister, dying of diphtheria, was instantly healed. This made a lasting impression on him, and from that day forward he thought, thats how it is supposed to be.
In 1940, he received the Holy Ghost baptism in a revival in Kokomo, Indiana. After more than two hours of repentance and commitment, he lay flat on his back on the cement floor for 20 minutes while speaking in a beautiful, heavenly language. When he left church that night, he recalls that even the trees seemed to be clapping their hands and the moon and stars seemed to be praising God. Since that momentous day, he has continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine. Along with his Holy Ghost experience came an overwhelming desire to reach the lost, to spare as many as he could from hell. As he witnessed to two athletes from Indiana University (and not even knowing this was in the Bible), God spoke to him in an audible voice and said: This kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting. Self-denial became a constant value for his soul.
His family was a proponent of pursuing excellence in any undertaking; therefore, desiring a greater knowledge of the Word, he enrolled in Apostolic Bible Institute in St. Paul, Minnesota. He shoveled snow and performed various other odd jobs to pay his way. While there, he habitually fasted four days a week. During one prolonged season of fasting, at 6-1/2 days without food and water, Bro. S. G. Norris insisted that he eat and drink. It was during this fast that God spoke to him and told him to go pray for Faith Urshan, who was soon to be sent to the hospital to die with tuberculosis. God healed her, and she is alive 60 years later.
He graduated from ABI and was ordained in 1942 by Brother Norris and Brother A. D. Urshan. He accompanied a Bible School classmate, Eldridge Lewis, to McLeod, Texas, borrowing $11.00 so that he could travel by train. While south, he had a mighty revival in Lou-Ann, Arkansas. Occasions to ministry began to open in Indiana and Ohio, then in Louisiana and Texas. He fasted relentlessly, and prayed and studied much of each day, but took time to walk dusty roads inviting people to come to revival services. He preached on the new birth, heaven and hell, and the coming of the Lord, and preached with such fervor that some who heard him sold their cows, horses, and chickens, saying, we wont need these . . . the Lord is coming. He had unprecedented 50-soul and 100-soul revivals in small towns in Louisiana: Starks, Clarks, Eros, and Hodge, then traveled to Diboll, Texas, where 100 souls were saved and were baptized in icy waters. It was there he met a preachers daughter, young Vesta Layne Gibson, and promptly felt she was the one he would marry. From that revival he traveled to St. Louis for a great revivaland then came back to Texas to marry Vesta Layne, September 10, 1943. What a team they became, forever linked; one cannot imagine one without the other.
His ministry has been blessed from its inception with great victories. A simple burning desire to see people saved filled his heart. His zeal and consecration were so intense that it often astonished, and sometimes offended, those who called themselves New Testament Christians. Together, this dedicated couple traveled from state to state for seven years, experiencing great revival and miracles, seeing signs and wonders in places like St. Louis, Missouri; West Monroe, Provencal, and Camp Eight, Louisiana; Zavalla and Lufkin, Texas; Dequincy, Louisiana, and in his home state, Gary, Plymouth, and Mishawaka, Indiana; then to Sunberry, Pennsylvania, where, during an extended fast, he received the call from Brother Pardue to hold a revival in Alexandria, Louisiana. God spoke to him then, Youll be the next pastor of the church in Alexandria, and Im going to give you the city.
On July 25, 1950, this word of prophecy began to be fulfilled. G. A. and Vesta Mangun became pastors of the United Pentecostal Church of Alexandria, Louisiana. Since that time, they have led that congregation in prayer, fasting, witnessing, and discipling, with phenomenal growth and expansion. Nothing stopped him! In his simple, yet faithful, forceful way, with his heart and soul fixed on Jesus Christ, nothing could quench the ardor of his affection! Revival, souls, and missions, both home and abroad, were his passion; the apostolic, Jesus Name Gospel his commitment! He was always out frontfirst partaker, leading the way. Prayer was his second nature; he often spent days and nights in prayer. Even today at 85 years of age, he still spends no less than two to four hours a day in prayer, ever pursuing a greater degree of intimacy with Jesus Christ! For more than 60 years, he consistently fasted three days each week and went on a seven-day fast at least once each year until cancer surgery at age 80 made this impossible. Revival and missionslocally and globallyhave been his heart and soul. Everything about him is focused with one aim: to preach Jesus Christ and His Gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth . . . and influence yet another generation for Jesus Christ . . . contending for the Faith once delivered on the Day of Pentecost!
He is loved by Apostolic Pentecostals the world over. He has served as a Louisiana District Presbyter for the United Pentecostal Church for 53 years (1951-presentthe longest tenure of any presbyter in the UPCI), as a member of the Foreign Missions Board of the UPCI for 18 years (1986-present), and as Executive Presbyter for the United Pentecostal Church International.
True to his philosophy of reaching out as far as you can while holding on tightly to the truth, and believing Pauls example of being made all things to all men, that he might by all means save some, he served his community well. For fifteen years he served as chaplain for the Louisiana State Police and as chaplain for the parish Sheriffs Department. He is a longstanding member of the Rapides Parish Airport Authority and a member of Alexandria Port Authority. In March 2002, the Louisiana National Guard presented him with a Civilian Service Medal for his service to the community and nation.
He does not simply believe in the God of ages ago; he believes in the God of today and tomorrow! He believes the 21st Century is destined to be one in which the full life of Apostolic Doctrine, Biblical Holiness, supernatural power of miracles and wonders, and the Shekinah Glory of God will be restored to the Church!
On a personal level, Gerald A. Mangun has been married to his wife, Vesta, for more than 61 years. He, together with Vesta, raised one son, Anthony Mangun, who married Mickey Lumpkin. They have two grandchildren, Miquell and Gentry, both in the ministry, and one great-grandchild, Eva.
In his lifetime, he has brought thousands to the Truth of the Gospel and closer to God, he has expanded the Kingdom of God, and he has strengthened the Church of Jesus Christ. His expressed desire has been to live in the realm of the supernatural . . . in the familiar company of the saints and the angels. It has undeniably been so!
On June 17, 2010, Bro. Mangun, at the age of 91 finished his earthly journey, and went home to be with the Lord Jesus!

Re: Cutthroats "Activity Channel Disconnected" bug fixed!
Definitely glad to hear that! As someone who only recently began playing Cutthroats, I'd say this will make leveling easier and more enjoyable.

They missed an opportunity to get a lot more people back playing this had they increased the level cap and added rewards. I'm not sure how the game is doing given I haven't been playing it but I do suspect that would have helped.
It is a fun game.

I went from level 17 to level 31 instantly somehow. Now, I'm done with the game and got all the rewards.
Did they fix this bug, too?


text: I have the Rami P in 9mm and my father inlaw has the Rami alloy in .40sw. I would suggest the metal frame in the 9mm (short barrel pretty light weight gun the .40 is really snappy). I would also suggest the 9mm due to reliability, there has been quite a few problems with ftf's in the .40. I've only put 150 rounds through my gun and have never experienced a ftf. The accuracy was amazing for a 3" barrel right out of the box and the more i shoot it the better it feels. I think I like the alloy frame more due to the rubber grip and the fact that it doesn't weigh any more then the poly. I bought mine at a gun show for what i feel was a pretty good deal or i would have gotten the alloy.

Dangerous Days HTML version
Chapter 45
The fact that Audrey Valentine, conspicuous member of a conspicuous social
group that she was, had been working in the machine-shop of the Spencer
munitions works at the time of the explosion was in itself sufficient to rouse the
greatest interest. When a young reporter, gathering human-interest stories about
the event from the pitiful wreckage in the hospitals, happened on Clare Gould, he
got a feature-story for the Sunday edition that made Audrey's own world, reading
it in bed or over its exquisite breakfast-tables, gasp with amazement.
For, following up Clare's story, he found that Audrey had done much more than
run toward the telephone. She had reached it, had found the operator gone, and
had sueceeded, before the roof fell in on her, in calling the fire department and in
sending in a general alarm to all the hospitals.
The reporter found the night operator who had received the message. He got a
photograph of her, too, and, from the society file, an old one of Audrey, very
delicate and audacious, and not greatly resembling the young woman who lay in
her bed and read the article aloud, between dismay and laughter, to old Terry
"Good heavens, Terry," she said. "Listen! 'I had heard the explosion, but did not
of course know what it was. And then I got a signal, and it was the Spencer plant.
A sweet Southern voice said, very calmly, "Operator, this is important. Listen
carefully. There has been an explosion at the Spencer plant and the ruins are on
fire. There will probably be more explosions in a minute. Send in a general fire-
alarm, and then get all the ambulances and doctors - " Then there was another
explosion, and their lines went out of commission. I am glad she is not dead. She
certainly had her nerve.'"
"Fame at last, Audrey!" said old Terry, very gently.
"It's shameless!" But she was a little pleased, nevertheless. Not at the publicity.
That was familiar enough. But that, when her big moment came, she had met it
Terry was striding about the room. His visits were always rather cyclonic. He
moved from chair to chair, leaving about each one an encircling ring of cigaret
ashes, and carefully inspecting each new vase of flowers. He stopped in front of
