Make no mistake, you didn't buy your 230 unless you understood you would be getting long-lasting quality and a trusted brand both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. When your Mercedes-Benz 230 left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes European styling in their automobile. Anyone who owns a Mercedes-Benz knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the vehicles in today's marketplace.
If steering weren't important, then all of our roads would be completely straight and there would be no need to turn. That would be very dull for Mercedes-Benz 230 owners, and it would also mean that tie rods would likely never have been invented. The tie rod ends on your vehicle join your steering knuckles to the rack and pinion or center link, allowing the wheels to pivot and turn. A broken Mercedes-Benz 230 tie rod means your vehicle would lack the capabilities to maneuver in an emergency.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. When your Mercedes-Benz requires a top quality replacement Tie Rod, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Mercedes-Benz 230 part for your project or repair. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Mercedes-Benz 230 Tie Rod for your 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966 model.

My last day in America!
After getting home early hours of the morning it was a sleepy kind of morning. 3.30am I ended up crawling in so it was makeup off and bed! I woke up randomly at half 7 and started to talk to people back home as it was a normal time. Then went back to sleep till 10! And then I went to check on miss Taylor and see if she was alive and kicking. She was still sound asleep with her two kitties. Got the best picture. Then I got myself ready as me ...
The Ez's Treat in Mesquite
... River gathering last year. Wrapped up against the chilly windy drizzle in our sweaters and cagoules, the canopy was closed quicker than normal to keep whatever warmth there was inside! 1900ft was as high as we could go to start with, but the visibility under the cloud base was much better than anticipated. For the first 45mins, flying at this lower height did afford more detailed views of what was 'flashing by' below us – we had a tail wind of 15 kts. To ...
Last American Saturday
... type of collie he was which ended out argument at that we were both half right lol! Must have made entertainment for people walking past us. We then headed back and stopped for a drink and nibble at the ice house. It's a cute outdoor restaurant that has screens for football. We shared some cheesy fries whilst waiting for Carlie and Bailey her dog to join us! Very addictive those cheese fries so had to quit while I was ahead remembering I'm in a bikini ...
... stuff! Looking at the weather and sorting my flight details. Not long to go I'm so excited and ready to be somewhere different now. I've loved America but I'm so ready for Mexico with my girl!! Once Taylor was home we had some dinner and finished watching "law abiding citizen" & "American sniper"! Two great films id never seen. The American sniper movie was Texas based to. Afterwards we both fancied something sweet so Taylor took me over to marble slab. It's a ice ...
Heading back to the jungle today!
... m also taking a larger suitcase instead of just carry on stuff this time. I'm considering trying to switch to the carryon, but I have to be careful since it becomes checked luggage on the smaller Star Peru flight that I'm taking at 8:00 tomorrow morning. I'll probably play around with it, but I don't want anything that'll possibly be damaged getting thrown in the plane's underbelly.

Review of New Audi PurchaseWritten by mikelussier111 on 02/07/12 07:53:18 PM PST Go back to Sales reviews
Recommend this dealer? Yes Purchased a vehicle from this dealer? Yes
Purchased my Audi four years ago but still remember the experience very well. Salesman was very professional and communicated clearly. He was NOT pushy or sleazy or "too slick" at all! Much better experience than any car purchase I had in the past. Financing through the dealership was much better than any of the banks or credit unions that I tried. I recommend this dealership to anyone that values quality, value, and professionalism.

This is part one of JRN's year in review. Check back for our profiles of the top ten Japanese men and women of the year and for our readers' picks and editors' picks for performances of the year. Click here for JRN's 2011 top ten rankings for men's and women's 5000 m, 10000 m, half-marathon and marathon. For our review of the top ten overall men of 2011, click here. For the top ten women, click here.
Despite the setback March's disasters represented for Japan, by many standards 2011 ended up being the best year since before the Beijing Olympics for its distance runners.
In the marathon, although the Japanese women's streak of World Championships medals ended and the fastest women's time of the year, Yoshimi Ozaki's 2:23:56 CR at February's Yokohama International Women's Marathon, for the first time would not have made the top ten among either Kenyan or Ethiopian women, overall depth was at its best since 2005 with the tenth-fastest Japanese of the year being Noriko Matsuoka's 2:26:54 debut in London. Although the average of the Japanese top ten, 2:25:30, is still at a low point relative to the world average of 2:20:57, it was a slight improvement over last year's mark, the weakest year since 1991. Similarly for the men it was a relatively good year in the marathon, with the first sub-2:09 since before Beijing thanks to Yuki Kawauchi's 2:08:37 in Tokyo and the tenth-fastest mark standing at 2:11:08 via Takaki Koda, also in Tokyo. Although the men's results are still a far cry from the 1999-2008 period when a 2:06 or 2:07 year-leader and/or ten or more sub-2:10 performances were a virtual given, both by average of the top ten performances of the year, 2:10:01, and relative to the worldwide top ten Japanese marked their second-straight year of improvement since bottoming out post-Beijing in 2009.
Despite a good start to the year in the half-marathon with Tsuyoshi Ugachi and Kayoko Fukushi running what would end up as the fastest times of the year at February's Marugame International Half-Marathon, March's disasters had a strong impact on the year's half-marathon performances, causing the cancellation of major races including the men's and women's National Corporate Half-Marathon Championships and National University Half-Marathon Championships and the Sendai International Half-Marathon. The absence of a World Half-Marathon Championships further reduced the depth of the year's results. Fukushi's 1:09:00 Marugame mark remained the best mark of the year, but a fast race at the late-season Sanyo Women's Half-Marathon brought quality times from Daegu World Championships marathon 5th-placer Yukiko Akaba, last year's year-leader Yoko Miyauchi and others. Ugachi's 1:00:58 in Marugame was the third-best ever by a Japanese man on an unaided course, with Komazawa University sophomore Hiromitsu Kakuage's 1:02:34 lasting as the second-best time of the year. Marugame made up the totality of the year's best until November's celebrated Ageo City Half-Marathon, where Toyo University sophomores Yuta Shitara and Kento Otsu went 2-3 in 1:02:35 and 102:43 to break into the top ten.
Turning to the track, 2011 was one of the best years in Japan's history for the 10000 m. Fukushi led the women again with a career-second-best 30:54.29 in Stanford, the third-fastest ever by a Japanese woman, while junior national record holder Megumi Kinukawa returned from a long layoff to become the all-time fourth-best Japanese woman with a mark of 31:10.02. More women broke 32 minutes than in 2010, with two others, 2011 national champion Kayo Sugihara and Yuko Shimizu, also cleared the Olympic A-standard of 31:45.00 to put Japan in good stead for London. On the men's side, Ugachi, 20-year-old Chihiro Miyawaki and Meiji University senior Tetsuya Yoroizaka all broke into the all-time Japanese top ten list and the 27:45.00 London Olympics A-standard, Ugachi setting another historic mark as his time of 27:40.69 became the fastest-ever by a Japanese man on Japanese soil. Miyawaki just missed also cracking the old mark, while Yoroizaka's 27:44.30 was the fastest-ever by a Japanese collegiate. Kakuage, his sophomore teammate Ikuto Yufu and Tokai University junior Akinobu Murasawa all narrowly missed joining the sub-28 club, each of them running under 28:04 to make four men this year joining the all-time collegiate top ten. Although only five men broke 28 minutes this year compared to seven last year, the upper end was faster and overall depth was better, with this year's tenth-best mark of 28:03.46 surpassing last year's 28:07.99.
The 5000 m was also solid, with Kinukawa placing sixth on the all-time lists with an impressive 15:09.96 win at the National Championships over 2007 Tokyo Marathon winner Hitomi Niiya, who returned two weeks later to likewise make the all-time top ten in 15:13.12. Five-time 1500 m national champion Mika Yoshikawa joined Kinukawa and Niiya in securing an Olympic A-qualifier in 15:15.33, but while the upper end was fast depth was down somewhat as only six women cleared 15:30 compared to at least ten last year. Men's performances were far superior to last year's, with ten men clearing 13:35, four of them from the S&B corporate team, and year-leader Kazuya Watanabe placing eighth on the all-time lists in 13:23.15 with a win at May's Golden Games in Nobeoka. Yoroizaka was also strong over 5000 m, running 13:29.11 to become the first collegiate in years to break 13:30, while Waseda University sophomore Suguru Osako's 13:31.27 in Nobeoka was the second-fastest ever by a Japanese 20-year-old.
Despite the lack of any new national records in distance events, the number of people under age 25 making Japan's all-time top ten lists at distances from 5000 m to half-marathon and the modest turnaround in marathon performances are very encouraging signs for the future. Less encouraging was the Japanese performance at the Daegu World Championships. Marathon performances were not bad, with a 5th place finish from Akaba in the women's race and a 7th place from Hiroyuki Horibata and team silver medal in the men's marathon, but the track events were an embarrassment. Despite fielding many of the names above, including Kinukawa, Sugihara, Niiya and Watanabe along with men's 10000 m national champion Yuki Sato, women's 3000 mSC national chamion Minori Hayakari and collegiate women's 10000 m national record holder Hikari Yoshimoto, not one Japanese runner finished out of the last four in their event, heat or final, with most in the bottom three despite all being ranked higher in their fields. Times were significantly worse than the athletes' pre-Daegu season bests, up to 10% slower and averaging 4%. No other major country had such a consistent pattern of underperformance in Daegu. It's not always the case that Japanese athletes show up at a major championships with the suck dialed all the way up; in the 2009 Berlin World Championships, Olympic marathoner Yurika Nakamura was a credit to the team as she PB'd in all three races she started, the 10000 m final, the 5000 m heats and the 5000 m final. But in Daegu the world watched as all three women in the 10000 m, Kinukawa, Sugihara and Yoshimoto, jointly let go of the rest of the field in the opening stages of the race and instead stuck together to run a three-way time trial, taking three of the last four places.
To be fair, some like Kinukawa had problems, but when every single member of the team follows the same pattern it's indicative of something more systematic. What could explain it? Not jet lag. Not a lack of acclimation to the local summer weather. Maybe it's a lack of a competitive edge in the athletes, an inability to view themselves as actual competitors against foreign runners, exacerbated by the insularity and controlled nature of the Japanese running world and society at large. Maybe it is the coaches and administrators, a failure to master peaking or an issue of piling on too much before the championships. It's even worth entertaining the possibility that it may be a symptom of systematic drug use. I certainly don't think that's the case and I'm sure most readers would feel the same, but at the same time if you've read this far then you're probably someone who could think of three or four countries off the top of your head where the same circumstances, an entire team running excellently in primarily domestic races and then showing up at a World Championships which for the first time announced mandatory drug testing for all competitors and dramatically underperforming, would be viewed as a very large, screaming red flag. Again, all of my experience here says this could not really be the case, but as the Sumo match rigging, Olympus scandal and Fukushima situation showed this year, behind the placid exterior the powers that be in Japan can be just as corrupt and dishonest as anywhere else, and it is hard to see any reason that this should not be at least considered as a possibility.
Whatever the reason, the problems that were on display for all to see in Daegu are a major issue that Japan's federation, corporate league, coaches and athletes must deal with if they are to realize the potential shown in all the outstanding performances in 2011.

Scotty McCreery Named Country's Sexiest Male
The fans have spoken and Scotty McCreery is the hottest male in country music.
The fans have spoken and Scotty McCreery is the hottest male in country music.
Many lucky children get gifts that make them overly excited around the holidays. New Barbies, new iPods, new bicycles ... there's always that one gift that makes a kid's Christmas that much more special. But what happened when one little girl got the gift of Scotty McCreery for Christmas?
Scotty McCreery takes fans behind the scenes of his 'See You Tonight' music video in this new clip, and as no surprise, he's as down to earth off-screen as he is onstage.
Some country singers would be embarrassed if they took a spill in front of an audience of fans. But, not Scotty McCreery. He took an epic fall during Saturday's (Sept. 14) show at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa and instead of trying to erase it from his memory, he broadcasted it.
Over the weekend, Scotty McCreery took to Twitter to give fans the inside scoop on how the show that made him famous REALLY works. He lived it, so he would know.
Uh oh. Lawsuits aren't ever good. American Idol season 10 winner, Scotty McCreery, is being sued by his former manager, Todd Cassetty, due to "unpaid services." The 19-year old country singer has fired back with statements of his own.
Season 1 and Season 10 'American Idol' winners Kelly Clarkson and Scotty McCreery will perform on the stage where it all started once again. Thursday (April 11) is the results episode for the Top 6 of Season 12, and two of the show's biggest and most successful winners will teach the last half-dozen hopefuls how it's done.
Making his triumphant return to the show that made him famous, rising country star Scotty McCreery was on hand on Wednesday night (Jan. 23) to help 'American Idol' kick off its twelfth season audition rounds in Charlotte, NC.
Obviously, Scotty McCreery is no stranger to 'American Idol.' The 19-year-old singer was crowned the winner in the show's tenth season, and has since embarked on a successful recording and touring career as a country artist. This Wednesday (Jan. 23), he will return to the show for an appearance during the audition rounds in Charlotte, in his home state of North Carolina.
Finals week is a challenging time for your average college student, but Scotty McCreery is far from your average university co-ed. North Carolina State University's most famous student recently took to his official Twitter account to effectively demonstrate the drastic difference in his double life.

I am either dashing into the house or out of the house and I never seem to have the time to stop and look around.
Well here I am, at my computer looking out of the window, and lo and behold, what do I see? My grape hyacinths are in bloom!!! Yep, even though the calendar does not say it is Spring, the birds and the plants differ. So good-bye to a wonderful winter and hello Spring.
Where do I start? I have so much to say, which is not anything new! Let me start backwards.
Yesterday, Friday Feb. 22, we held our general meeting. Our guest speaker was the new Morris Hills Regional District superintendent. He invited us to attend their meetings.
He gave us our senior cards which entitle us to attend the plays and other at the schools.
For instance, we are invited to attend the Broadway play "Annie" at the Morris Hills School on March 15/16, and the play "The Wiz" on March 22/23 at Morris Knolls High School. He also informed us and brought us literature for property tax reimbursement. It is a state run project.
Requirements are: you must be a resident of New Jersey for 10 years, your income if single under $38,999 and married $47,000. This is given in addition to the rebate check.
I believe that the deadline is sometime in March. There are other activities, and projects that he discussed if any seniors are interested, please come to our meetings and I will give you more information.
The date of our yard sale is on Sept. 14 in our parking area at the center. It has been a few years since we had our last one and we now have too much in our homes and are ready to share it with you.
A light will be erected on the side of our building so that when we return from a trip at night, the area will be lit.
At our Wednesday meeting a wonderful thing happened.
Donna Costello, our Town Clerk, and Leslie Valva, the daughter of the famous MR. Valva, donated to the seniors, beautiful jewelry, and some nice household items which we sold, to the membership, and made money.
Now we can enjoy another free lunch at our meeting.
We thank you both and let me give you a bit of advice, if you clean out another section of your house and if you do this every other month, you will not have an excess of things hanging around and taking up very useful space that you can enjoy.
Meanwhile, we will benefit from your discards. My daughters must be having a big laugh. I just cannot part with a thing in my house, even though I never use the stuff, nor do I know where I put it and I keep adding to the pile.
Must take a moment to thank Eve Hall and Florence Gray for their ever-faithful making of those puppets. Another batch was delivered to St, Clare's Hospital.
Some were left in the emergency room for the children who had the misfortune of having to be brought there.
They were also left at the pediatrics ward. A request was made for some puppets to be brought to the Hospital in Dover. The Children there would also appreciate receiving these puppets.
Well, as soon as Eve and Flo heard this, they decided to get busy and make more for them. Bless you both.
Tis the season not to be jolly but the season oh my golly of the income tax folly.
So, to you seniors, if you need some help with your taxes just call the Denville Library. I just looked up in the telephone book to find their phone number and they are not listed under Denville nor libraries as other towns are why? Who knows!
Anyway, when you find their number, call them and make an appointment. There is no charge for this service for seniors.
They will be available for you from March 27 to April 10.
The only requirement that is asked of you, is to bring in loose change because you will be charged 15 cents for each piece of paper you need to be copied.
Now for the Silver Brigade. A meeting was held on Feb. 21.
Our guest speaker was Assemblyman Guy Gregg who not only has tried but will continue to try to get property tax relief by changing the system.
He also informed us that if anyone has a monetary rental problem, there is an agency that one can contact. It is the Morris County Housing Department at 973 540 8695. {HUD} ask for forms and applications. This service will be at no cost to you and will help you financially. Take advantage of all that is offered to you. Our next meeting will be on March 21 at 10 am.
We have a new board members in the Silver Brigade. He is David Yourisil.Welcome abroad and let's get the train moving.
Glad to have Fran Peha back with us. She had been ill with this darn whatchamacallit that is going around. We wish a speedy recovery to our friend and member Marie Paszkowski.
Remember, all you senior citizens who feel a little left out of the loop sometimes; you are always welcome to visit our center and ask about our programs, our trips or just to meet some of the people who are enjoying the company and the refreshments at our building on a regular basis.
There is no obligation to join, of course, but we would be happy to have you with us!

For her new lawsuit against the city, New London Police Chief Margaret Ackley apparently did some lawyer shopping, not using the local attorney who has represented her so far in her long campaign to be compensated for the fact that one of the previous city councilors didn't like her.
I might have looked for a new lawyer, too, if I were her, after her last one sent out an email to friends pleading with them to vote "no" in an online poll on theday.com that asked whether the police chief should be fired.
That doesn't seem like professional lawyering.
Ackley's new lawyer, Leon Rosenblatt of West Hartford, actually told a reporter asking about Ackley's lawsuit that New London is dysfunctional and that you couldn't "make up" the things that happen here.
It is interesting Rosenblatt would choose to insult New London, since he seems to have a front row seat to so many other Connecticut communities that he characterizes in his lawsuits as dysfunctional.
Indeed, Rosenblatt seems to be the go-to lawyer for disgruntled or fired municipal executives in the state.
He has represented individuals who held or hold the following jobs: personnel director of the New Britain Board of Education, chief of emergency medical services in Stratford, assistant chief of police in Hartford, chief executive officer of the East Hartford Housing Authority, the acting police chief in Middletown, the superintendent of schools in Oxford and executive director of the Bristol Housing Authority.
If you want to read about dysfunction and stuff you can't make up, just peruse some of the complaints in Rosenblatt's lawsuits, which string out long tales of political intrigue, from mere backstabbing or promoting friends and demoting enemies to actual corruption.
Here in New London, Rosenblatt is making a pretty simple claim: Mayor Finizio didn't make good on the contract he signed that would have paid the chief for accrued comp time and the $25,000 she claims she is due because former City Councilor Michael Buscetto didn't like her. (A retired judge found no substance to her claim that the councilor harassed and intimidated her.)
Of course, even casual readers of New London news know that the reason Finizio didn't make good on the contract payments is because city councilors balked.
Naturally, the chief knew then the contract terms were not ratified. If that was intolerable, that would be have been a good time to leave. But, alas, she didn't. She stayed on to sue.
Mayor Finizio has proven himself capable, even enthusiastic, in getting rid of the city's police dogs. Why not get rid of the chief, the person responsible for the terrible decline of the department she has led since 2009?
I know it's hard to fire a police chief, because of a 1983 state law that says you have to show "just cause." But when you add up Chief Ackley's miserable performance, I think most reasonable people would find cause.
Who doesn't remember when Ackley allowed Matthew Chew's murder to be officially characterized for days as "drug related" even though police knew full well that it was random and that the killers were on the loose?
I also remember clearly the night Ackley chose to stay at City Hall to work on a cushy departure settlement for herself with city councilors at the same time city police officers were still on the street investigating a shooting in which an unarmed man was shot by an officer.
It is the chief who has made a move to litigate her employment contract, or lack of one. As long as the city is going to have to go to court over the issue, why not fire her and litigate that directly?
The city might win.
And I can pretty much guarantee the mayor it will be about the most popular thing he's done since taking office, win or lose.

Nearly a century and half since the United States last divided, a new "irrepressible conflict" is brewing between the states. It revolves around the expansion of federal power at the expense of state and local prerogatives. It also reflects a growing economic divide, arguably more important than the much discussed ideological one, between very different regional economies. read more »

Going Underground in Australia
Just over a decade ago, governments in Australia were immune to calls for accelerated infrastructure investment in our major urban centres. Plans for strategic reinvestment were rare. Much has changed in that time, maybe too much. It seems that enthusiasm for major urban infrastructure now runs ahead of impartial assessment of the cost, versus the claimed benefits. A proposed $8.2 billion underground rail loop for Brisbane, along with a new underground station for its busy downtown, provides one example of an over exuberant propensity to spend. read more »

Chickens from Wal-Mart?
As I arrived for a visit, my 90 year old father was perusing ads from his favorite big box store for chicken parts. Seizing the moment that all children savor, I sought to impress him with my declaration: "I buy my chicken parts – albeit at higher prices – at the natural foods store; you know daddy, where the chickens ate naturally off the barn yard floor like they did when you were a boy"? Not missing a beat and dashing my hope for an "at a boy," he retorted: "I saw what those chickens ate off the barnyard floor and I'll buy my chickens at Walmart(s)!" read more »
The Decline and Revival of an American Suburb
In 1952, a white Protestant couple from Pasadena, California along with their newly born first child, moved 22 miles east to a small town called Covina. There, among acres of open space and endless rows of orange, lemon, and avocado trees, the young family was able to purchase a plot of land and build a brand-new home with swimming pool for a total of $20,000. read more »
Tribes And Trust
Only Tribes held together by a group feeling can survive in a desert.
--Ibn Khaldun, 14th century Arab historian
Time to chuck into the dustbin the cosmopolitan notions so celebrated at global conferences: a world run by wise men of the United Nations, science-driven socialists or their ostensibly more pragmatic twins, global free marketers. We are leaving the age of abstractions and entering one dominated by deep-seated ethnic, religious and cultural loyalties, some with roots from centuries and millennia ago. read more »
We Trust Family First
Americans, with good reason, increasingly distrust the big, impersonal forces that loom over their lives: Wall Street, federal bureaucracy, Congress and big corporations. But the one thing they still trust is that most basic expression of our mammalian essence: the family. read more »
Distilling China's Development
The economic rise of China has created two growth industries pulling in opposite directions. There's either the school of blind praise of 'The China Miracle' or its opposite, apocalyptic predictions about the country's impending implosion. read more »
How Texas Avoided the Great Recession
Lately, Texas has been noted frequently for its superior economic performance. The most recent example is the CNBC ratings, which designated the Lone Star state as the top state for business in the nation. Moreover, Texas performed far better than its principal competitor states during the Great Recession as is indicated in our How Texas Averted the Great Recession report, authored for Houstonians for Responsible Growth.

Civic Choices: The Quality vs. Quantity Dilemma
Advocates on opposite sides of urban debates often spend a great deal of time talking past each other. That's because there's a certain Mars-Venus split in how they see the world. In effect, there are two very different and competing visions of what an American city should be in the 21st century, the "high quality" model and the "high quantity" model One side has focused on growing vertically, the other horizontally. One group wants to be Neimans or a trendy boutique and ignores the mass market. The other focuses more on the middle class, like a Costco and Target. read more »

It's just about Christmas time again, which means that 'skeptics' will be trotting out the old hoary 'Christ=Mithras' chestnuts again, while Christian apologists will be having oodles of fun poking holes in the theory. The latter get an early present this year: an excellent demolition job by Chris Romer. Enjoy!

Thanks :) Ironically the problem with so called 'skeptics' is they are very rarely sceptical - because skepticism means conducting an inquiry, actually looking in to the claims - well it should do. If any skeptics dedicated even a few hours to these claims they would find out they were nonsense.
To be fair Timothy O Neill a historian, atheist and sceptic over on Richarddawkins.net forum is one of the fiercest and most intelligent critics of this and the Jesus-Never-Existed nonsense I have ever known, and the JREF James Randi's sceptical forum is a place where such nonsense is often exposed. www.skepticwiki contains a number of excellent well written arguments too denouncing this nonsense about Mithras.
In the sincere search for truth Christians and skeptics can often find themselves in agrement. It's the fake 'skeptics' who get my goat - or bull :)

Yeah, even as an atheist, I don't get the whole "Jesus never even EXISTED!" strategy.
As an atheist or skeptic, if you want to call into question the strength of the evidence that Jesus did exist and simply call it into (mere) doubt, I suppose I can at least respect the effort even if I do think Jesus probably existed.
Ditto if you want to call into question the historicity of miracles and some of the saying attributed to Jesus.
All fair game.
But the whole idea of definitively stating "Jesus DID NOT exist" strikes me like declaring checkmate on move one, tossing up a Hail Mary on every play, or swinging for the fences on every pitch-- more than a little wishful thinking in each case.
In any event...

{{All fair game.}}
Agreed. (Nice ironic use of "tossing up a Hail Mary" there, btw. {g!})
I'm even prepared in principle to respect the "Jesus did not even exist" attempt! It's just that the methods often used in that attempt end up having so many problems (despite some initial surface plausibility here and there). It becomes a theory of desperation after a while.
Which I like to think testifies, in a backhanded sort of way, to an acknowledgment of... other problems (let us say {g})... that can begin to crop up if Jesus did historically exist.
At the very least, it's an intriguing historical puzzle! {s!}

Sony NEX-5 as a lightweight companion
There are a lot of situations where I leave my D300s at home. It's a great camera but it's large and bulky. This is especially true with a grip and a 24-70 or 70-200 mounted but it's still big with no grip and an 18-105 lens.
My iPhone, on the other hand is small, compact and always with me but I rarely take it out of my pocket for anything except the most casual snapshots. The controls, even with 3rd party apps, are poor. IQ is OK in decent light and terrible in lower light. However, it's as good as a P&S as far as I'm concerned.
So, I'm looking for something in between. Small enough to slide into a small motorcycle bag or even a jacket pocket but with decent control over the exposure.
Most important:
- M and A mode controls with EC. I don't need dedicated controls, multi-controls or even menu based control is OK.
- Good IQ up to ISO 6400, very good to excellent up to ISO 1600
- If no RAW support, good jpg color and auto-wb
- Small enough with a mid-range zoom to fit in a jacket pocket
- Good AF accuracy in low light and/or low contrast
Nice to have but not necessary:
- Auto ISO
- RAW File support
- Built-in flash
- stabilization
So is the NEX-5 up to the task or should I look elsewhere?

This year a significant influx of re/insurers entered the Latin American market. Despite the unstable economic environment, the industry is taking advantage of the vast opportunities that this rapidly emerging market has to offer. Intelligent Insurer investigates.
As developed markets remain unchanged, international re/insurers are turning to emerging markets, such as Latin America, for growth prospects.
Despite concerns over the Brazilian economy, the region's re/insurance markets are expected to increase in double digits.
Several factors are driving the region's appeal, such as the direct impact of economic growth and foreign investment in the region, which is reducing the level of poverty in the Latin American countries and ultimately increasing insurance penetration rates.

The group, which hit the market with two profit warnings either side of Christmas, turned in a pre-tax total of £60.7m against £117.4m the previous year.
This was at the bottom end of its earlier forecasts, but there was more encouraging news on current trading, with sales now back in positive territory.
'It's so far, so good,' said chief executive John King, 'but let's just get through to the AGM in July.'
Former retail high-flier Matalan has been battling against increasing competition from supermarket groups such as Asda and Tesco, but is attracting more customers into its stores with improved marketing and reduced prices.
Average selling prices have been cut by 10% over the past couple of months, and customers are now buying more, King said. That has fed through to a 3.1% increase in like-for-like sales in the nine weeks to 1 May, compared with a fall of 6.5% in the year to 28 February.
Total sales for the year were up 2.6% to £1.05bn and the dividend is kept at 8.1p.
Takeover speculation continues to surround the group, with Hargreaves, who still controls just over 50% of the shares, said to be willing to sell. King declined to comment on the market rumours but said that Hargreaves remains 'very supportive'.

École Polytechnique Massacre Victims: Never Forget Their Names
December 6, 1989.
Class was in session at École Polytechnique in Montreal at around 5 p.m. when a 25-year-old man entered a classroom on the second floor.
Rifle in hand, he told the class to "stop everything," fired at the ceiling and ordered the students to separate themselves by gender.
After telling the males to leave, he approached a group of nine women and said he was "fighting feminism." When a student responded, "we are not feminists, I have never fought against men," he opened fire, killing all of them, according to a coroner's report.
From there the gunman would kill five more victims — all women — and end his own life by shooting himself in the head.
The incident came to be known as the École Polytechnique massacre, or the Montreal Massacre.
And 25 years later, people still remember the victims on Dec. 6, which now also represents the National Day of Commemoration and Action on Violence Against Women.
People remember the victims by placing 14 white roses near a plaque at the school, and by listing their names to honour them every year.
Here are the women who died that day — their names, their faces, what they studied, and where they worked when a gunman ended their lives.

Laura Bates, founder of the Everday Sexism Project, has a simple mission - to raise awareness of the sexism that still exists "in a modern society that perceives itself to have achieved gender equality". Bates seeks to overturn this perception with an open invitation for all women to record their personal daily experiences of inequality online. The project has already garnered a collection of over 10,000 women's anecdotes. Aiming to remove the 'uptight', 'prudish', 'militant', 'bra burning' labels historically associated with feminists, Bates is one of a new wave of feminist activists using social media and technology to make feminism more accessible to all women.
... And Caitlin Moran's view seems to be part of a growing global ideology. Over on the other side of the pond, rising star, Lena Dunham, creator and star of HBO series, 'Girls' said: "Do you believe that women should be paid the same for doing the same jobs? Do you believe that women should be allowed to leave the house? Do you think that women and men both deserve equal rights? Great, then you're a feminist."
For stand-up comedian, Bridget Christie, "feminism is really simple: everyone is affected by it, it's not some academic subject – it's just about equality for every woman in the world." Christie's aim is to make feminism accessible by making it funny. Her Radio 4 comedy series, 'Bridget Christie Minds The Gap', offers her very personal take on modern feminism using humour and anecdotes to put the subject in context with everyday life.
When it comes to feminist theorists, she may not have the academic credentials of Simone De Beauvoir and Germaine Greer but today's poster girl for British feminism, Caitlin Moran, has undoubtedly reawakened the feminist agenda and made it accessible to everywoman (and every man). For Moran, feminism is about a common belief in gender equality – and if you believe in that you can wear your feminist badge with pride. She told the New York Times magazine in an interview, "When I talk to girls, they go, 'I'm not a feminist,' And I say: 'What? You don't want to vote? Do you want to be owned by your husband? Do you want your money from your job to go into his bank account? If you were raped, do you still want that to be a crime? Congratulations: you are a feminist.'"
Karren Brady became the managing director of Birmingham City Football Club at the age of 23. Flouting any preconceptions about age and gender, she quickly turned around the club's fortunes, proving herself to be one of the most formidable businesswomen in the world. A regular on 'The Apprentice', she is an inspiration to millions of women and a reminder that women really can have it all if they want it. She told The Guardian in an interview: "I always say, women have brains and uteruses, and are able to use both."
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg was Forbes List 2011. Her new book 'Lean In' (released March 2013) calls for women in all occupations to 'lean in' to their careers. Sandberg encourages women to push past their fears and address the ways in which they hold themselves back. See some of The Huffington Post's favourite Sandberg quotes.
Lily Allen raised more than a few eyebrows (not least those of her record company agents) when she announced she would be taking her husband's name and changing her professional moniker to Lily Rose Cooper. Not exactly known for her conventional or conservative attitude, Lily is a prime example of the modern feminist idea that you can flout traditional feminist conventions and still be a feminist. Feminism is about freedom of choice.
Taking the same path as Lily Rose Cooper, Beyoncé was derided by female critics when she announced she would be touring under her married name, Mrs Carter. But the star, who has made a name for herself singing about female empowerment, insists she is not compromising her feminist sensibilities. She told Vogue in a recent interview: "I guess I am a modern-day feminist. I do believe in equality. Why do you have to choose what type of woman you are? Why do you have to label yourself anything? I'm just a woman and I love being a woman," she said. "I do believe in equality and that we have a way to go and it's something that's pushed aside and something that we have been conditioned to accept." She defended her decision to pay homage to her husband, Shawn Carter (Jay-Z): "I feel like Mrs Carter is who I am, but more bold and more fearless than I've ever been. "It comes from knowing my purpose and really meeting myself once I saw my child. I was like, 'OK, this is what you were born to do'. The purpose of my body became completely different."
Labelled the 'Iron Woman' and 'Mother of the Revolution' by Yemenis, Tawakkol Karman became the international public face of the 2011 Yemeni uprising. A feminist, human rights activist, Yemeni journalist, politician and senior member of the Al-Islah political party she heads the group 'Women Journalists Without Chains'. READ MORE HERE.
Previously the domain of white middle-class intellectuals, a monumental shift we are beginning to see in the feminist landscape is the inclusion of women that have never previously had a voice - feminists who are prepared to risk their lives to speak out in a society where women's voices are brutally suppressed. Malala Yousafzai, 15, was shot in the head by the Taliban fin October 2012, or speaking out in support of women's rights, in particular their right to an education. READ MORE.
Although its agenda has evolved over the years according to the political landscape, feminist activism is still very much alive. The most famous feminist activist group of recent years is Pussy Riot, a Russian feminist punk-rock group, founded in 2011. The group of approximately 11 women stage unauthorised guerrilla performances in public locations, which are edited into music videos and posted on the Internet. The group made global headlines when three of the group members were arrested and held in custody with two now subsequently serving two year prison sentences and two having fled Russia for fear or persecution. Their trial and sentence attracted criticism in the West and the case was adopted by human rights groups including Amnesty International. But while it stands to reason that extremist measures are used by feminists in countries where extreme sexism exists, there has also been a resurgence in activism in the UK. Here Jenni Murray of Radio 4 Woman's Hour, investigates the modern feminists getting involved in feminist campaigns today.

Most of the article is the predictable up-beat view of Disneys contributions to Amusement park ride safety standards, but in the article they let drop that Disney will be introducing 4 new profiles for the Tower of Terror some time this year. This means that each time you get on the ride there will be one of 4 new and different experiences selected randomly. Does anyone know if this has happened yet?

Got silica dust? HalenHardy has a mobile shower for you
It's a well-used business cliche that where you might see a challenge is in fact an opportunity.
Donny Beaver is turning a new 800-page OSHA rule on silica dust into the Mobile Air Shower by HalenHardy for the oil and gas business. Though the initial market is oil and gas the company intends to go after the construction market as well.
Beaver and his company HalenHardy unveiled the new machine at the Shale Insight 2013 conference. It's meant to take static technology that has been used in the mining business mobile and apply it to the oil and gas business where new rules are proposed over how much silica dust employees can breath.
The dust comes from sand used during the hydraulic fracturing process.
MORE: NIOSH study prompts calls for silica exposure controls
Beaver, who has a background cleaning dusty, industrial processes, heard about the problem from executives that would visit his previous business, the outdoor retreat Homewater Club. He knew there were ways to solve the problem and looked around to see how the mining industry had been doing it.
He outlined the process of discovery during Shale Insight and eventually, he and some partners created the mobile air shower as a way for employees to safely dust themselves off after work. He said, research has found that one of major ways people are exposed to dust is by removing respiratory equipment and then dusting off at the end of the day.
He created his latest company, HalenHardy, in January and started developing the product. It took three months to finalize and produce the mobile air shower, said his son Josh Beaver, who is also part of the new venture.
Here's how it works: A worker stands in the unit and hits a button starting a light vacuum of air that sucks the dust off clothing and into an over head pre-filter that collects 70 to 80 percent of the dust, Beaver said. Then the air is fed through a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter that catches nearly all of the dust that remains. By the time the air is released from the unit it is 99.7 percent pure, Beaver said. The process takes less than 30 seconds.
The small company assembles the units at its Belwood, Pa., facility. The team is still working out the final sale price but since its unveiling at Shale Insight the interest from industry has been high, said HalenHardy co-founder Carl Cohen.
Cohen's name might sound familiar to some in the Pittsburgh region. He spent 27 years at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney where he worked closely with entrepreneurs and helped start the firm's technology practice in the early 1980s.

"Who, being loved, is poor?" — Oscar Wilde
I hate that Tipper and Al Gore are splitting up. It's not that I was ever a big Al Gore fan (except for his work on global warming.) It's just that theirs was such a sweet story – high school sweethearts, four kids, grandkids, years in politics and still a hot romance. After 40 years together, it seems like a shame they can't make it.
I heard a lady on NPR talking about all the attention the break up is getting and how it seems to be making a surprising number of people sad. Her theory was that there is so much bad going on right now — the oil spill, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, North Korea threatening South Korea, etc. etc — that people are overwhelmed. Somehow, the only thing we can wrap our heads around to actually grieve is the end of the Gore marriage; everything else is too big. It's an interesting theory…
I admire any couple who has been married for 40 years and now that Mr. Clark and I are in year 31 together, I can't imagine the carrot life could dangle in front of me that would make me give up all the things our marriage is and has created over the years. What out there is so appealing that it makes you quit so close to the finish line?
Antoine de Saint-Exupery described love as, not "gazing at each other, but looking outward together in the same direction." That seems like a pretty good way to approach the long haul marriage presents. Maybe, after all these years, Tipper and Al stopped gazing in the same direction. I just hope we don't read about some global warming intern crawling out of the wood work to be Al's new arm candy, once the smoke clears. Old wives like me hate reading about that — it's just so tacky.
The other day, while working an emergency room social worker shift, I encountered a sad, but really touching love story between a pair who started out homeless and were finally right where they wanted to be, only to have him end up in the ER dying from some kind of horrible internal bleed. While we were waiting for the doctors to work the miracle that ended up not happening, the wife told me their story. They met six years ago in a really rough homeless community. "He had my back," she said, "and, I had his, and, we just ended up falling in love."
In a few months they found their way to a less dangerous homeless place and since they both did odd jobs when they could find them, eventually they bought themselves a tent. (He had been a painter until a long fall off a high ladder ruined his back and she had been badly injured in a car accident years ago…no insurance, not much family, two people with limited abilities just trying to scrape by…)
She found a job at the Salvation Army as the night door person for the women's dorm, which gave them an income steady enough to buy a little camper and get their names on the low income housing waiting list. Last year, she said, they made it to the top of the list and moved into an apartment. After a brief breakup last fall ("turns out we couldn't live without each other," she said) he dropped to his knees during the Thanksgiving dinner at the Salvation Army and asked her to marry him. She said, "yes!" and off to the courthouse they went, the following Monday.
Years of hard work and harder living had clearly taken its toll on these folks; they looked rode hard and put away wet. But, their love for each other shone through and lit up their faces, even as he lay there dying. She said she'd just qualified for disability, so their plan was for her to quit her night job at the shelter so they could travel. I asked her where they were going and she said "Panama City — we were going to leave next week. Neither of us has ever seen the ocean or Panama and we wanted to do that before one of us died. If only this had happened in a few more weeks…now we'll never see Panama."
It was gut-wrenching to watch her stroking his face, so strong and brave, holding his hand as his life slipped away. "You hang in there, Baby," she said, staring deep into his eyes. "Don't you worry, Baby. We'll make it to Panama City yet," was his reply. Their leathery, life-worn faces looked so bright and alive as they talked softly to each other, both knowing this was goodbye.
This couple seemed to have held on, to the very end, to what Tipper and Al lost somewhere along the way — the ability to dream the same dream, together, while moving forward in the direction of that dream, however slow the progress. Emily Bronte wrote, "Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same." What a lovely way to describe true love, whether it's found in a homeless shelter and lasts for life or fades away, gradually, in a fine home in Washington, D.C.

I have no particular quibble with the choice of Apocalypse Now as the best film of the past 25 years by Britain's film critics. These lists always strike me as fairly vacuous, and Coppola's reworking of Heart of Darkness seems as good a film as any to hold up as a model.
The strength of Apocalypse Now in part derives from its astonishing ability to capture the menace and tension of Conrad's Heart of Darkness, using a completely different medium. The fact that the book has such a strong plot, and an inescapable internal dynamic based on the strengths and flaws of the major characters, had to help, but Coppola doesn't use his source material as a crutch.
The eye-opening relocation of the action to the Vietnam war was an inspired move which both opened it up to a contemporary audience and made it a critique of American foreign policy, which was revealing without being particularly heavy-handed (though the French plantation scenes in the director's cut hammer the point home a tiny bit too much).
The performances from Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando might not have the realism required to make it in a Mike Leigh film, but they are undoubtedly compelling, and deserve the iconic status they've since acquired. And the cinematography, by the triple Oscar-winning Italian Vittorio Storaro is, with reason, a benchmark by which other films may be judged.
Its weaknesses, too, are well acknowledged: two lead performances that are just a little too detached from reality for the audience to connect with, an episodic, almost picaresque structure which ill lends itself to the cinema, and about fifty minutes of superfluous material, without counting the additions of Coppola's "Redux" version, presumably so named to counter the accusations of pretentiousness which have long been levelled at the film.
From an industry point of view, you could add that it set new and undesirable standards for how long, involved and expensive a shoot could be; it came to be known during production as Apocalypse Later.
What unsettles me about the choice is more obvious in the context of the other films in Sight & Sound's top ten: Apocalypse Now, Raging Bull, Blue Velvet, GoodFellas, Blade Runner. Chin-stroking boy films one and all. (I include my email below for outraged correspondence from female chin-strokers).
Apocalpyse Now, indeed, stands out as possessing the one characteristic that incontrovertibly marks out a Boy Film; there are no female roles in it. There are the Playboy models, whose presence in the film has no more enlightened a motivation than their presence in the theatre of war, and there's the French widow, significantly cut from the original release, in part perhaps because she reeks of token love interest.
Apart from that, it's a film by boys, about boys, for boys. It seems that to qualify as a good film, our critics demand either that it be American, violent and include some seriously masculine leads, or that it be foreign (to film critics, this includes British) and a family drama.
Critics, of course, need to impose their criteria of cool on their medium to justify their own position as arbiters of taste. A comparison between this top 10 and the 25 Oscar best pictures of the period is revealing.
The Academy's roll-call, chosen by industry people whose profession is making movies that people will want to watch, includes plenty of enjoyable films, some of them intellectually fulfilling, which a man could sit through in their entirety while his chin went wholly unstroked.
Some of them even have girlies in.
Top ten
1. Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979)
2. Raging Bull (Martin Scorsese, 1980)
3. Fanny and Alexander (Ingmar Bergman, 1982)

text: The design and operation of buildings is a multi-criterion decision making process, there always being a trade-off of to be made between conflicting design goals (typically, capital cost, operating cost, and occupant satisfaction). Conventionally, the trade-off is ignored, since its identification requires the evaluation of multiple design and operating scenarios. The process is further complicated by the interaction between the building, its environmental control systems, and their control strategies.This seminar describes the application of Genetic Algorithm search methods in identifying the trade-off between conflicting design objectives. As well as indicating the sensitivity of one design objective to the other(s), the trade-off characteristic also indicates the inherent range of each objective for the building (this being useful for benchmarking building performance). The approach has the potential to be applied to the large-scale integrated design of all building systems, including thermal, lighting, and architectural systems. Results will be presented in the seminar for the thermal design of a cellular office.

At the end of a long day we could all use a fresh start—and the same goes for our hair. When product buildup and styling stress leave strands feeling and looking dull, this clarifying shampoo, subtly scented with white freesia, golden amber, and warm musk, gently cleanses without stripping moisture or color. Black currant and soy restore vibrancy, acai berry and vitamin C deliver youth-boosting antioxidants, oolong tea and Irish moss defend against environmental damage, and lemongrass and oatmeal gently cleanse and purify. This shampoo is also vegan-friendly and free from sulfate/sodium chloride and parabens.
I was told by my wife that a "clarifying shampoo" is simply a concentrated shampoo that cleans deeply. She recommended using a "hair mask" after using this stuff. I did. But it's a extra step I'd rather not incorporate into my regular shower routine (the whole hair mask thing), and so I shan't use a "clarifying shampoo" again. That said, this stuff did get my hair squeaky clean and scented mildly (a good thing).4

Cucamonga Peak sits at an elevation of 8,859 feet. From the summit, you'll get uncrowded views of Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. Keep in mind that a permit is required.
Start hiking early, before the sun rises so you can maximize the day out of the heat and to give yourself plenty of time for the hike. As you get to higher elevations, it will be a little cooler and there might be snow on the ground, so be sure to pack layers.
This hike requires a permit. If you want to hit the trail early, be sure to call in advance to get your permit pinned outside the ranger station. If you don't, you'll have to wait until they open.
To get to Cucamonga Peak you start at the Icehouse Canyon trailhead, near Mt. Baldy. Make sure to have a Adventure Pass displayed.
The trail is well marked, but it gets confusing at the Icehouse Saddle, where 5 separate trails merge together. Look for the Cucamonga Peak trail sign, although it's a little hard to find or ask a ranger if one happens to be strolling by.
It's only 2.5 miles to the top after the saddle, but the last mile and a half is very steep and exposed to the sun. Make sure to wear ample sunscreen and bring sunglasses for the higher elevation. We weren't in peak physical condition, so the last stretch felt like it took forever and we silently considered turning around. Determination goes a long way so keep pushing and eventually you'll reach the top!
The top is interesting. It has a sand dune feel to it and has many rock outcrops, which make for interesting photo spots. The views should be incredible; however, when we were there, there was a blanket of clouds that obscured anything at the lower elevations. At the summit, take your time, eat your lunch and explore a bit. Once you have your energy back up, head back back the way you came.
Pack List
- Day pack
- 3 liters of water
- Lunch/snacks
- Trekking poles/walking stick
- Sunscreen
- Sunglasses/hat
- Adventure pass
- Permit
- Crampons if going in winter
Please respect the places you find on The Outbound.
Always practice Leave No Trace ethics on your adventures. Be aware of local regulations and don't damage these amazing places for the sake of a photograph. Learn More

Wrong turn to Bighorn Peak then to Cucamonga Peak
So I get to the first Saddle, easy peasy 😎 But then the trail is completely gone and I've never been to Cucamonga Peak. So I think @mtnking and I always say when in doubt "Go up"! So I do, I just go straight up and it's rough, but I'm making great time. So I reach the summit and a fellow hiker is just about to summit when I catch him. I ask are we on Cucamonga? He says "No" then points across the valley to the neighboring peak and says that's Cucamonga, this is Bighorn Peak. So I look and see the ridge line down and I see a ridge line up. Off I go! The other hiker asks if I'm going to Cucamonga, I reply "that's what I got all dressed up for " he just shook his head. Going up Cucamonga straight up in snow was rough!!!! So the first pics are on top of Bighorn peak looking across to Cucamonga. The last pics are summit of Cucamonga Peak looking back at Bighorn Peak. No gloves, crampons, hiking sticks, just me and my Merrells. I already am feeling it!

Great Hike
Camping at the top of cucamonga peak is a must! I've done it as a day hike, but nothing compares to waking up and catching the sunrise from up there! This hike can be a little challenging, but nothing good comes easy.
Start early, its a long trek. I recommend camping on the summit and waking up early for the sunrise. Its one of the most majestical spots that I've ever seen. Definitely in my top 5 favorite hikes.
over 2 years ago
Great view at the top! I went on Monday and there was lots of ice and snow on the last few switchbacks. Many people turned back because of it but I had brought my micro spikes so I was ok. My boyfriend made his own way up and a couple behind us followed him. The four of us made it to the top safely! Beautiful view!

Farheen Khan offers the recipe of a triangular pie, which is bread stuffed with a mixture of hearty nuts and sugar.
- Raisins – 500 gm
- Sugar – according to taste
- Almonds – 500 gm cut into small cubes
- Apples – 1/2 peeled & cut into small cubes
- Crushed & dried coconut – 750 gm
- Oil – 2 tsp
- Other nuts like pistachios – according to taste
- Fine flour (Meada) – 2 cups
- Take flour, add 2 tbs of oil in it and knead the flour with water until it is done. It should not be too hard or too soft. Leave the dough to rest for about half an hour (if u have time).
- In another bowl, mix all the ingredients with sugar (3 tbsp or as desired) – this will serve as the filling.
- Then take small balls of the dough and make thin covering (just like Peeta bread) and cut that into half.
- Now, place 1 tbsp of filling in each half and shape as desired (like a samosa or any other shape).
- Seal the ends with water.
- Chill it in the freezer for 30 min for good results; then, deep-fry.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
