So...I know it's a couple days late but I freaking love Naughty Dog. Not only do they make amazing games, but I love how they aren't afraid to branch out. I am fine with a company releasing multiple games of a series but it is just to often that they just completely SLAUGHTER a series...Call of Duty anyone? Not only does The Last of Us look amazing, but it is a completely new game. Sucker Punch and Insomniac and Platinum Games are also great developers that aren't afraid to branch out so I am not saying that Naughty Dog is the only one but with all the rumors of Uncharted 4 going around I became a little nervous. Of course I wouldn't be to upset to see an Uncharted 4 but if it went past that I, for one, would start to lose interest no matter h0w awesome they are. Take Metal Gear Solid for example. Those games are amazing and Hideo Kojima is a genius, but the longer he goes without making any announcement other than "Metal Gear Solid 5 is inevitable" makes me think less and less of him. What are you a one trick pony? Pull your head out of your poopshooter Kojima and show us you can do something else!! And no I am not talking about a Zone of the Enders HD Collection. Ok now that I got that off of my chest...thank you Naughty Dog and all of the game developers that aren't completely terrified to try and release new type of game/series or whatever it may be.
I recently went to a credit union get together on National Credit Union Day. First of all I have to say that bank employees are freaking crazy. Second of all I have to say that they know how to pick a sweet meal for us to eat for free. Prime rib baby!!! Alright, time to get to the point. We all sat down and ate dinner and after a while of chit-chat three different big wigs stood up in front of everybody and gave a speech about what was going on in the credit union world. Now to someone like me and probably to someone like you, dear reader, credit union stuff is not exciting at all, but while I was listening to these people talk I was inspired. I couldn't believe that someone could care so much about that industry. I didn't realize that you could be so passionate about handling money and giving out loans. I suddenly figured out that these people are just like me. They are not like me in the aspect of being a good speaker. I am no good at public speaking. They are not like me in the fact that these people are in love with credit unions. They are like me in that they love what they do, and what I love to do is play, write about, research, dream, and trophy hunt the every loving piss out of video games. I love video games. It is my number one hobby. I wish it was my job. There is nothing like diving into a great video game. And I love all types of games. I don't know that there is a genre out there that I wouldn't play. I could play Xbox games or 3DS games or Wii games. It doesn't matter. There are so many good games on so many systems and I love them all. I am a Playstation boy through and through though, but that doesn't mean that I don't like all of the other systems out there. I believe that every system has something to offer that the other one doesn't. Now that I have rambled on I bid you adieu and hope that you have a good evening of gaming as I know that I will.
I have been having a personal problem recently and that problem has to do with which video games to play. This holiday season there are so many spectacular games coming out that I have come to the reality that I am not going to be able to play all of the ones that I want. Which brings me to my dilemma. Do I play the games that are more of a safe bet or do I go with the game that is a little bit more of a risk. Let me give you an example of what I am talking about. Shadow of the Colossus (or Team Ico Collection) is out in HD. I know for a fact that I love that game and that I would get hours of enjoyment out of it. Plus I would also get another platinum trophy because I know for a fact that I would play that game until I get it. So I could play that game or I could play a game like Rage. Rage got reviewed great and I would really like to give it a shot, but there is a little bit of risk involved because there is always a chance that I could not like it as much as the reviewer. I also want to play Resistance 3 extremely bad, but do I pick that game or another one of the new franchises that look like they could be really good? It is a tough decision sometimes for me, and I usually end up making my decision by how I feel in the moment. What about you readers? Do you have the same problem as me and think about it to much? Or are you able to make that kind of decision without blinking an eye?
So I just got offline at AT&T and ordered myself an Xperia Play! Also known as the Playstation phone. I am so excited but I did have a little bit of trouble getting to the decision. I have been carrying around my friend's Samsung Focus windows phone now for a few months and I love love love LOVE it! It is a beautiful phone with great facebook integration and I can score achievements for my xbox profile. The one problem, is that I am not really an xbox gamer. I am a Playstation gamer. So for the last few month I have been tossing the idea around in my head as to whether or not I am going to buy the Playstation phone, or if I am going to continue to use the sweet windows os that I now love. I was completely set on getting a new windows phone until today. Lets go back a day first though. I asked my good friend who is a complete phone nerd to look into whether or not he thinks that the Xperia Play is going to at some point let me get trophies on my PSN account. Well he has been busier than a $1 hooker on a Friday night so he said he would get to it next week. So, while I was at work today a tremendous bowel movement hit me and I dashed to the toilet. TMI I know but stay with me. Toilet time is my surf the web time at work, and I was looking up video game news. So I read about Sony's Playstation Suite that it is going to integrate into the Playstation Phone and I started getting excited. Then I finished the article and it informed me that in order to have the suite you are going to have to have a PSN account. Now I could be a little premature here so feel free to call me out on that if you want, but I am thinking that Sony is possibly going to incorporate trophies into that. Which would be a little behind Microsoft...but better late than never! So before I could change my mind I got online and bought a Playstation Phone. My finger's are crossed that they actually incorporate trophies into the phone!!
I will never forget my first video game memory. I was getting babysat by a neighbor while my parents were at work. They had an NES with Tetris and Mario. I loved it so much that I couldn't stop playing it. Not even for the cute daughter that wanted to play with me all the time. My solution? I got her to kiss my neck the whole time that I was playing either one of those games. We were 5. To this day I don't know how I got her to do it because I can't even get my wife to do that for me now. A couple years later when I finally started going to school I figured out from a close friend of mine that the NES is the old system and now they have a Super NES. WHAT? How could I be behind on the thing that I love the most? After much begging and pleading I finally got a Super Nintendo for Christmas. I don't think that I can count the hours that I have put on Donkey Kong Country or Street Fighter II or Clay Fighter ( I still think they need to remake that game). The Super Nintendo was an amazing system and I didn't think that there could be anything more amazing. Then came the Nintendo 64. WOW! The graphics are amazing! I couldn't believe my eyes at something that is so incredibly wonderful! I got Diddy Kong Racing, Goldeneye, and Starfox and those are pretty much the only games I played on that system. The one that I played the most was Goldeneye. That game was life changing. I was so good at that game that there was nobody that could even come close to beating me. Most of my friends that came over didn't even want to play it because they couldn't even kill me. Then one of my good friends at the time introduced to my now best friend. Finally. Someone who was a challenge. Not only was he good but he lived right next door to me. Renting my neighbors house out while they were gone for a year. I preceded to go over and hang out as much as I could. My BFF was not to happy about me following him around at first, but I grew onto him. After we became close he introduced me to the Playstation. The first game I ever saw him playing on it was Final Fantasy VII. The first game he got me to play on it was Suikoden. Two of my most prized and very favorite games ever to this day. He left town and let me borrow his Playstation and I fell in love with it. I went out and bought my own and that is when I began to have a deep appreciation for and love my now favorite genre, RPG. I played everything from Wild Arms to Final Fantasy Tactics to Beyond the Beyond to Alundra. Then the PS2 came out. I continued to play mainly RPG's and there are a lot of good ones on PS2. A LOT. But that is also the era where I finally started to branch out again. Started playing a more rounded scope of games. Like Indigo Prophecy and Ico and Amplitude and Metal Gear Solid. By the time the PS3 came out I considered myself a lover of all genre's as long as they are good. Which holds true to this day. I love games and I was born to play them.

Work A Slab 15 Hours After Pouring?
3 Attachment(s)
My wife and I poured a slab yesterday, about 4 square metres x 100mm.
We're trying to learn. We don't really know how to finish a slab.
The concrete seemed very wet. As best I can understand from reading forums and other web stuff you don't move onto the next stage of finishing until the concrete is dry again: having got wet on the last working when moisture and cement rise to the surface.
But it never seemed to get dry.
The moisture got thicker, more pastier, like a slurry, but it didn't get dry as much as four hours after the pouring, when it was dark and bedtime and we had to give up on it.
I could get a smooth finish but always got a line, like a ridge, left by the corner of the trowel.
We were trying to get that smooth, dark, shiny, slippery surface that you see on professional jobs. Not because we need it or even particularly want it, but so's we know what's what, how to get it, how to not get it, how to get the finish we do want.
But the trowel never got to slipping smoothly over the surface, it was always scratching, making a grating noise, you could feel the particles of sand, even though it was pushing over a thick slurry.
O.K. That sets the scene?
So now, this morning, 15 hours after the pour, I find I can make a fingermark in the concrete. Not 'IN' the concrete itself, but in the layer of slurry on the surface.
So I thought I'd ask. Is that malleable surface slurry there this morning the stuff that we should work to get the 'polished' finish?
Is the whole trouble that the concrete was too wet?
Or is it too cold?
Or did I work it too much whilst trying to do the job?
Or what?
I'll attach a couple of pics. One showing the general finish we've got. Another showing the 'trowel ridges' and another showing the scuffed appearance I created this morning when I gave a tentative swipe with the trowel across this still soft top layer. Which kinda demonstrates how workable (?) it still is 15 hours later.
ab :)
First off, you are pretty brave to place your own concrete without help from an experienced hand. That said, the concrete looks like it was too wet to begin with. Did you mix it yourself, or buy transit mix?
Second, it looks like you overworked the concrete. When you first place concrete, it should be as dry as possible, to get maximum strength. Just enough water to make it workable. If you buy transit mix, they know exactly the right proportions of sand, cement, aggregate and water, however sometimes they will supply excessively wet concrete in order to keep it in the mixer longer.
When you first place the concrete, the objective is to get it level with the forms by doing the minimum amount of work to the surface. This usually means screeding with a board. After it has set for a few hours, the surface should be hard enough to walk on if you use a small sheet of plywood under your feet. At that point, you are going to begin your finishing, using either a mechanical finisher or hand finishing technique if you did not rent an electrical finisher. This is where you can really use the help of someone who is experienced, finishing concrete is hard work, and even harder to get that mirror look it sounds like you are looking for.
Under no circumstances do you want to bring water and slurry to the surface, it will cure to a weak, easily broken surface. The best finishers work their concrete very dry, but of course they are experienced and are capable of handling dry, difficult to move concrete. As I said, it is harder than it looks. Specialized finishes require other techiques, if you are interested I suggest you purchase a book on concrete technique, there are numerous tricks to getting a wide range of surface textures.
I'd go looking for an accelerant or some chemical that can fix your curing problems.
You may find the slab totally rough under the slurry: http://www.nrmca.org/aboutconcrete/cips/14p.pdf
Be safe, Gary
Daniel, you can see all that from my pics? Glad I posted them. I wish I could read a surface that way. Can it be explained to me? It'd be useful for checking my own progress.
It's all bad news but it'll be good to get on the right track.
Thanks, GBR and yoyizit. I'll look for accelerants and I'm always looking for information.
Looks like it was too wet. We mixed it ourselves in our old mixers. I measured carefully and there shouldn't have been too much water but I guess the premix was pretty wet and I didn't allow for it.
For all my reading it has been very hard to get concrete (excuse the pun) information. This Forum has given me more in this one question than I've been able to get anywhere else anytime.
I think I've got the guts of it now: DO NOT work until bleeding stops. That seems to be the MAIN thing. That NRMCA thing is the best thing I've seen.
I hope we've still got a useable slab. It is only one corner of a shed slab and will never have heavy traffic on it - though it will have much light traffic in the doorway - it is right in front of the doorway.
I can fix the mixing easily enough. I was slack letting it get like that. First time we've ever worked together, wife and I, on concreting, and first time we've tried working two mixers at once and I just blew my cool, I guess.. got overconfident and didn't think straight.
Thought I had the water measured right and had it waiting in a bucket beside the mixer at the start of each load and thought it was good that I couldn't possibly get too much in there because there was only that measured amount available. Famous last words. Actually, it turns out, the measured amount was too much, probably because of the wet premix.
But I can fix all that. I can make good concrete I think. A demonstration of how dry it can be would be good - readymix I watch delivered onsite here and there is always very runny...
But the finishing - previously I haven't finished it at all. Just screeded, quick wooden float, cover with plastic and leave it.
Told by a man in the business that the strength comes from the finishing and I should finish it. See the dusty top of the stuff I've done before. See the mirror finishes (which we don't want, but it is a goalpost, a marker of the far end of the ability) - and decided to learn about it.
I welcome, of course, any further comments and/or help but I think maybe it has all been said, now - the big, big thing is: 'Don't work until bleeding finishes'.
Hope our slab will be good enough for its job.
ab :)
When you say your premix was "pretty wet" do you mean the bags of dry concrete mix? Those need to be dry until used. If your bags got wet before use then you might have a problem as the cement (the "glue" component of concrete) activates as soon as it gets wet and won't reactivate later (I'm probably not using the right word).
This should keep you busy........ http://www.google.com/search?q=pouri...Q&ved=0CBQQpwU
Be safe, Gary
No, the 'premix' that I'm talking about is a mixture of aggregate and sand. You add 1 part of cement to 5 of it and finish with a 1:2:3 mix. It was wet because it has been raining.
Thanks for the Google search link, it is the best list of hits (just looking at the first page) I've seen on the subject.
I'll read my way through most of it. I'm soaking up info on the subject. I'll maybe publish my findings - or what I learn - on the web later, at the same place I've put up my little 'concrete calculator' - http://greenpepper.org
You can't use formula for the water when mixing your own. You have to look at the batch and see if it needs more water. The amount of water used depends on how wet your components are to start with. The mix should not be like soup but more like a very stiff pudding.
It looks to me like the surface was trowelled too much too soon. The top finish will most likely all chip off.
Not to derail the OP's thread but along the same lines... How long is a good time to wait before removing the forms and trowel the sides if need be? Also what is a good material to use on the forms so the concrete wont stick to the forms, I was told to use motor oil wiped on by someone?
199 Attachment(s)
I'm feeling really sad about my slab. Do you think I'll need to dig it out now or will it be okay for a year or two?
What's going to happen assuming, what seems pretty certain, it was drastically too wet? The top will be crumbly, dusty? It will crack?
But how quick and how savage is this going to be?
About the formwork:
I've found I don't need any oiling and when I try it the success rate is variable and it's a messy business. I don't need oiled formwork because I use plastic sheet underneath and I just bring it up at the sides, inside the formwork.
That suits my way of working because I'm just doing small jobs at home. I can reuse that formwork wood, then, for other jobs, where I couldn't if it were oiled and spoiled.
Of course, that wouldn't apply to folks doing different work where they've got, for instance, purpose made steel formwork or such.
I just throw it in for what use it may be, wherever, whenever.
abro -
3 major factors I can see that are major contributors to your concrete issues:
- You're mixing your own concrete, which doesn't have air-entrainment to help capture "bleed" water.
- You're pouring on plastic, which means all the water from the concrete has to rise to the surface, as none is allowed to exit into the sub-base.
- You're covering with plastic before the concrete is finished????? I think that you may have misunderstood something you read somewhere, you don't need/want to cover the concrete until the finishign is complete, and the slab will not be damaged from placing the covering on it.
There really are many, many variables that go into the "finishability" time of concrete, but 15 hours in summer seems FAR too long, even if you're on the North Pole.
To put things into perspective, we placed a bunch of sidewalk today at 1:30 in the afternoon. Finished and broomed by 4:00 in partly cloudy skies & 90% humidity. Forms stripped & back in the trailer by 4:30. Modrate rain by 7:00 with no issues to the new concrete. Remember though, this is reay-mix concrete, so it sets (especially the top surface) substantially faster than site-mixed concrete.
If you're stuck mixing on site, your best bet is to change at least 2 of the 3 issues listed above, or at least try to aquire some bulk "air" from a local ready-mix plant.
if conc were left to the finishers, it'd all be self-consolidating AND self-leveling :laughing: no longer would they need trowels, kneeboards, mason's brushes, or helicopters ( troweling machines ).
' brave ' combined w/ignorance can be deadly especially w/conc,,, unless you can develop the good ' eye ' & ' hand ' of a concretist :whistling2: find some experienced help, hire 'em, watch, & LISTEN :yes:
for the most part, all our work has a broom finish ( driveways & sidewalk ) even after the edging's done,,, far's the wet ' pre-mix ', plants have the same issues & adjust water accordingly,,, to my knowledge, there isn't a densifyier made that'll turn weak paste ( cement/sand/water } into an acceptable hard dust-free wearing surface :no:
I'm in the winter here. South Australia. Daytime temp about 15 degrees Celcius.
The slab is under cover, in a shed.
I don't put the plastic on top until after finishing. Normally that's very, very little finishing that I do. I've just tried to be extra clever on this one and run into the wettest mix I've ever done, too.
Tried to hire experienced help but the guys on the concreting gangs are working so well for such good money they won't accept hourly work - they'll only give quotes for doing the whole job for you.
They quoted for a 6 metre x 9 metre x 100mm slab $AU 1000 - that's just for the pouring and finishing, I do everything else, formwork, plastic, reo, get the readymix.
How's that compare with the scene in the States I wonder?
That air entrainment thing's interesting. It is designed to catch water? To keep the slab damp? To improve curing?

While Camilo stole the headlines for the Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday night, one of his teammates had quite the performance of his own.
Kekuta Manneh scored once and created the opportunity for Camilo's second of the match with a delicious through ball, as the Vancouver Whitecaps defeated the Chicago Fire, 2-1, at BC Place. Manneh's efforts earned him SBI MLS Rookie of the Week honors.
The 18-year-old Manneh beat out the LA Galaxy's Gyasi Zardes, Real Salt Lake defender Carlos Salcedo, and Philadelphia Union midfielder Leo Fernandes for this week's honors.
What did you think of Manneh's performance? Which rookie stood out the most for you in MLS Week 20?
Share your thoughts below.
I saw the highlights of his goal. It was pretty lucky (through the legs of the defender closest to him, which screed the goalie). All he really did was hit it hard. That said, before the shot, he did show some skill to keep the ball and make it difficult for the defender to take it away.
Jordan Smith
What makes you think that wasn't what he was trying to do? This kid's a top talent and shooting through a defenders legs is standard procedure these days. It looked intentional to me.
He admitted in the post game interview that he was not trying to shoot between the defenders legs, but only to "shoot it hard" . He could have easily said he tried to put it through the defenders legs and nobody would have doubted him. That kind of youthful honesty is quite refreshing and speaks to his character !
How many times does that make an Austin Aztex alumni Rookie of the Week? Five by my count (Kekuta and Powers)
As much (or more) upside of any young player in the league.
MLS website has an excellent profile on him; there, Rennie makes an excellent point – he has had very little high-level training.; if he were to have grown up in Europe he would have gone straight into an elite academy at an early age and he wouldn't be playing catchup.
Hope he choses to play for the US.
Manneh needs to get his citizenship first before he can play for the US. I don't know how that's complicated by living in Canada.

RONKONKOMA, N.Y. (AP) Two U.S. pilots detained in Brazil for more than two months following a midair collision that killed 154 people arrived home in Long Island on Saturday to a rousing welcome from friends and family.
Joseph Lepore, 42, and Jan Paladino, 34, were greeted by a crowd of around 200 cheering people after their plane arrived just before noon at Long Island MacArthur Airport.
The pilots didn't address the crowd or reporters, but Lepore swept his 3-year-old daughter Nicole up in his arms and hugged her. The girl, Nicole, was holding a bouquet of red, white and blue balloons. Her 8-year-old brother Michael also received a bear hug from his dad.
Another girl held a sign that said, "You are the best holiday gift ever."
The pair were detained in Brazil after the small executive jet they were flying collided Sept. 29 with a Gol Airlines Boeing 737-800 over the Amazon jungle. All 154 people aboard the Gol flight were killed, while the smaller jet landed safely with all seven people aboard unharmed.
Before leaving Sao Paulo on Friday, the men were formally accused of playing a role in the air disaster, Brazil's deadliest. If convicted, the men could face 12 years in prison. Their attorney has labeled the accusations absurd.
Lepore, of Bay Shore, N.Y., and Paladino, of Westhampton Beach, N.Y., were allowed to return to the U.S. after signing a document promising to return to Brazil for their trial or when required by local authorities.
Saturday's welcome home ceremony was arranged by ExcelAire, the company that employs both pilots. A company spokeswoman cited the ongoing investigation as the reason why the pilots did not speak publicly.
Those gathered also held a moment of silence for the people who died in the crash.
Under Brazilian law, a judge will now decide whether to indict the pilots and send them to trial, a process that could take weeks or months.
"They were anxiously awaiting for this opportunity to give their explanation to police," said Jose Carlos Dias, a lawyer for the pilots. "(But) before their deposition, we were caught by surprise with the information that the pilots would be accused."
Police said the pilots' "lack of caution" at the controls of the Legacy jet owned by ExcelAire of Ronkonkoma, N.Y., played a role in the collision.
Dias called the accusation "biased" and said police were simply "looking for someone to blame for the crime." He added that if the factors leading to the fatal collision were considered unintentional, the maximum penalty would fall to four years in prison.
The pilots were notified of the accusation when they walked into Friday's meeting with police.
"The decision of this investigator to accuse Joe and Jan of a crime without ever hearing their testimony is incredibly absurd," said Robert Torricella, an attorney for the pilots.
Brazilian authorities said there was evidence to support the accusations.
"We can't affirm their actions are solely responsible for the crash," Federal Police Investigator Ramon Almeida da Silva said. "But the evidence shows they acted with negligence."
An extradition treaty between Brazil and the United States allows both countries to request the return of individuals if the offense committed is considered a crime by both nations.
The pilots have been virtual prisoners since the crash, largely blamed by local media and having to hide themselves in their rooms at a hotel on Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana beach for the more than two months.
Police said Lepore and Paladino told them on Friday that they would respond to the accusations in court.
The Legacy jet was heading northwest on its maiden voyage from the southern city of Sao Jose dos Campos to the U.S. when the accident occurred at an altitude of 37,000 feet, usually reserved for flights headed in the opposite direction.
Transcripts suggest the Legacy had been authorized by the control tower in Sao Jose dos Campos to fly at 37,000 feet, although that contradicted the plane's original flight plan. The pilots have denied any wrongdoing.
There is "no question they had permission to be at 37,000 feet," Torricella said Friday. "They were never given a contrary instruction."
Air traffic controllers believed the Legacy was flying at 36,000 feet at the time it collided with Gol flight, Brig. Gen. Luiz Carlos da Silva Bueno recently told a Senate committee.
Warning systems failed on both planes before they collided, an Air Force investigator said last month.
ExcelAire issued a statement repudiating the authorities' decision to formally accuse the pilots, saying they received "differentiated treatment."

Nationstar Mortgage (NSM) underwhelmed Wall Street in the fourth quarter with earnings hit by higher servicing expenses and increased amortization.
The Dallas-based residential mortgage servicer earned 21 cents a share, well above the 23-cent loss Nationstar reported a year earlier. Adjusted for one-time costs and gains, Nationstar earned 58 cents a share. Both numbers were well below estimates of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters, who forecast quarterly adjusted EPS of 93 cents.
Revenue grew 6.9% to $449.4 million but missed Wall Street views of $522.6 million.
For the full year, EPS grew 2.1% to $2.45 compared to $2.40 in 2013. Total annual revenue fell 5.4% to $1.97 billion.
Sterne Agee also cut Nationstar to neutral from buy.
By early afternoon, shares had plunged 10.7% to 27.91 in the stock market today.
The stock is up about 1.6% so far this year. The company's stock has a mediocre IBD Composite Rating of 46, meaning that 54% of publicly traded companies are currently outperforming it.
Nationstar shares have traded above their 50-day moving average since Feb. 6, but fell below the 200-day line on Nov. 6 after the company announced poor Q3 results.
Walter Investment Management (WAC) also underwhelmed in Q4, posting a loss of 6 cents a share adjusted to back out one-time gains and costs, well below the 63-cent EPS forecast by analysts as well as the $1.07 a share earned in Q4 2013. Without adjustments, the loan-servicing company reported a net loss of $1.17 a share.
Quarterly revenue fell 21.2% from a year earlier to $317.5 million, missing estimates of $345.8 million. Net servicing fees in the fourth quarter declined $46 million, the company said.
Full-year total revenue fell 17% to $1.5 billion, due in part to a $181.9 million decline in net servicing fees. The company posted a full-year EPS loss of $2.93, compared to the $6.67 a share gain it posted in 2013.
Shares plummeted 9.2% to 20.57 by early afternoon. The company has been trading above its 50-day moving average since Feb. 5 but below its 200-day moving average since Feb. 18. Walter Investment currently has an IBD Composite Rating of 60, meaning its stock is outperforming 60% of other publicly traded businesses.
The Tampa, Fla.-based company said it agreed to a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to resolve claims that its Green Tree Servicing subsidiary violated consumer protection laws.

It is through human witness that others are led to recognize Jesus as the Christ. The invitation to "Come and see" is at the heart of Christian evangelism. But more is needed from us than an invitation. We must have something worth seeing. Our challenge is to live as disciples and create a place that is worth seeing – a place where heaven and earth intersect.
The kingdom is beyond our control – and that is a good thing! The kingdom depends on God's power, not human effort or agency. We are not responsible for its growth, but we are responsible to do one thing – scatter the seed on the ground. We play a role, but the growth itself is in God's hands. "[We] see to the sowing and God sees to the growing."
The challenge of "ordinary evangelism" is so much greater than confrontational evangelism. There is no pre-scripted presentation to fall back on and no pre-packaged product to pitch. There is only one God-saturated and God-oriented life to share with another in all the unrehearsed sloppiness of daily living.
What does it mean to be a "witness"? It is certainly more than "evangelism-by-the-numbers" – the bold recounting of a few select pre-scripted, pre-packaged facts in the hearing of an unbeliever!
The lost are precious, valued, and cherished people whom God desires would return to his embrace. They are "missing persons" – "the people Jesus misses the most." We must reject the use of any language that makes us appear as "holier-than-thou's."

I started using renovation experts in 2008 to receive job leads in the construction field. I also started doing a web marketing program.
For the web marketing program I payed $375.95 per quarter for seven quarters to have leads sent to my web site but they accidentally had my marketing sent to a site of a competitor. I did not realize this was happening because I had another Marketing program that was working well. When I called them to look at the performance and make changes I found out about the problem.
I received a refund of $375.95 for the last quarter. I asked for the other seven quarters that I payed for nothing and I was told that I should have notified them of the problem earlier.
I canceled the web marketing for $375.95 a quarter and the job leads for $400 a month in January. I was charged $400 in February and $400 in march.
I call Renovation Experts and wait on hold for an hour then someone hangs up on me. When I call Web.com they say that they have no affiliation with Renovation Experts but the web site says that they are affiliated.

Easier Said than Done
My Cricket, I love you so much . I had no idea I was that to you.
I look back on a few years ago, and I remember how you were. Your smiles were few and far between. No, I did not understand. I didn't even know what I was doing for you. I just felt this large gap between us, and for my own sake, I had to bridge it.
I just wanted to know you, and for you to know me. Due to the stringent living arrangements, I was under the impression that I was an intruder to the family, the half-blood that was never meant to be. Sometimes, I still feel that way. I know I'm woefully wrong, and that I'm stupid to feel like that.
To be even more honest, when I was younger, I wanted nothing more than to be you. You got to live with dad and you two had such a bond that I could never dream of having. You got to see everyone more than I did, and you had much more freedom than me.
I'm ashamed to admit that sometimes I hated you for it. I try my best to repress the feelings, and usually I'm very successful at it. Family is the epitome of belonging and completeness. We're only as strong as our weakest link, and I didn't want to be that link.
So when I talked to you, it was more to save myself. But I'm so glad that I was doing much much more.
I read this for the first time today, and I cried like a baby. I was reminded of what the bond of sisterhood is, and how strong it is. I was reminded of how strong we are, and that together we can do anything.
You've no idea what it means to me to be your sun for you. And you ought to know that you are singularly the most important person in my life. Being your sister is the highest honor, and I couldn't dream of trading it for anything.
When you leave for school, I'm not sure what I'll do with myself. I will stay strong, because the alternative isn't very appealing. But that's guaranteed to be easier said than done.
Skype will be our saving grace.
My dearest beloved, my Cricket; I love you with my whole.
Smile Sunshine.

Based in the southern districts of Toledo, Stann Creek, and Cayo, Sustainable Harvest Belize has been working since 1999 to find practical, sustainable strategies to improve the health of the local environment and the families who live there.
Toledo District, the most impoverished district in Belize, is home to numerous ethnic groups, with the majority being Mopan or Q'ekchi' Mayan. Rapid coastal development, high deforestation rates, increasing poverty, and the discovery of crude oil are threatening ancient tropical forests and former kingdoms of the Maya.

Sustainable Harvest Honduras is our largest and oldest program, noted for its commitment to community participation and empowerment.
Logging and slash-and-burn agriculture have destroyed or damaged large parts of Honduras' once-pristine tropical forests.
Rugged mountains and hills cover close to 80% of Honduras' total land area, making agriculture a challenge for the local families who depend on it for their sustenance and livelihoods.

Sustainable Harvest Panama started its work in the Coclé Province and the Lake Alajuela region, and has since expanded its work in and around the municipalities of La Pintada and Penonomé.
Panama is a country challenged with soil erosion and siltation of the Panama Canal, environmental problems due to mining, and a mounting disparity of wealth. Vast expanses of tropical forest and mangroves are being exploited for short-term material gain, threatening the thousands of plant and animal species native to the country, and those families whose livelihoods depend on the ecosystem.

I'm starting a project with a friend of mine creating a sort of internal mini-universe set during the Cold War inspired by our collective SWTOR characters (of which we have over 30, so we obviously won't be using the in-game storylines...). We may or may not actually post the resulting fanfics, since it's mostly a just-for-fun thing, but who knows. Anyway, a couple of our characters are going to be officers in the Imperial Navy and so we need to know at what rank one would need to reach before getting the opportunity to captain a ship, specifically a capital ship. My guess is Captain, but that's really just a wild stab in the dark.

He has a rap sheet as long as anyone's arm (inc. there in Missoula), and years ago, swindled his own mother in the 1980s, stole my identity on at least one occasion (1991), and in general, has wreaked havoc on those persons he is able to take bad faith advantage of, across the board. I attest these facts as they stand. Missoula is one of favorite towns, I have lived there in my own right for a brief time in 1998, and I am very sorry to learn that this member of my family is involved with criminal activity there.

It takes very little effort to transform the "Hello World" anonymous block into a stored procedure. This stored procedure is added to the database and is accessible to the database user who created it and any other user granted appropriate permissions.
create procedure test1 is begin dbms_output.put_line('Hello from a stored procedure'); end; / exec test1 begin test1; end; /
This simple example demonstrates the creation of a stored procedure named test1. The familiar BEGIN and END keywords mark the body of the procedure. The DECLARE keyword does not appear, any variables that would be declared would appear after the IS keyword.
In most cases, you will have variables in your subprogram that need to be declared prior to the BEGIN keyword.
create procedure test3 is v_name VARCHAR2(25); begin v_name := 'Larry'; dbms_output.put_line('Hello ' || v_name || ' from a stored procedure'); end; / exec test3 begin test3; end; /
Although the DECLARE keyword does not appear explicitly in stored procedures and functions, variables can be declared in the same section of the block (immediately prior to the BEGIN keyword).

Vital Lies, Simple Truths is written by the same author as last year's best-seller Emotional Intelligence. Is this book a rushed sequel? Alas, I am churlish enough to believe it is a prequel. There are 15 pages of references, but none goes beyond 1984. Lots of articles and unpublished papers are referenced around 1981-83, but nothing later. Did science stop in Orwell's 1984? Does this matter? Yes - vitally, as it turns out. A question absolutely central to the theme of the book, concerning false memory or "recovered memory syndrome", blew up in the early Nineties - but is not discussed at all. The accusation of sexual abuse in childhood by adult children against parents is the current issue around "vital lies", but this book mentions nothing about it.
Vital Lies puts its thesis like this: "The mind can protect itself against anxiety by dimming awareness. This mechanism creates a blind spot: a zone of blocked attention and self-deception. Such blind spots occur at each major level of behaviour from the psychological to the social". Each of the six parts mixes scientific experiment and human-interest story: an excellent formula for popularity, as the previous book showed. This makes it easy to dip into, but does not help coherence.
Goleman moves confidently from one research area to another; from neuro- psychology through psychoanalysis to micro-sociology. The concept of "trade-off" litters the first half. He argues that there is a trade-off between attention and anxiety: we do not attend to stimuli of all sorts that provoke too much anxiety.
Taking us briskly through the cognitive psychology of the late Seventies, Goleman emphasises that perception is certainly not complete and may not be "conscious". Without knowing it, we scan, filter and select information. We see what we want to see.
The book then gets rather more clinical as it considers selective memory and that old Freudian chestnut, repression. The ego, as Uncle Sigmund pointed out 100 years ago, is a great censor which controls and distorts information. We are all essentially self-deceivers. But now we have more scientific proof of the fact.
The last section becomes sociological. We move from the individual to group (family and organisation), remembering and forgetting. Curiously, three sound-bites in the concluding section tell us that personal blind spots may indeed be vital lies because they have survival value. In the face of unpalatable truths, it is fairly natural to try a little self- deception.
The author was a magazine editor, and it shows. His knowledge base is broad rather than deep and he is better at describing research findings than at critically evaluating them. He writes well, and is ever on the lookout for themes, segues and stories to support his fundamentally correct, if not new, theme.
Sanjida O'Connell's Mind Reading could never be accused of being old- hat of out-of-date. A number of references (there are 15 pages of them) specify "in press" or "in prep". Indeed, the book does deal with one of the most currently "sexy" ideas in the biological and social sciences. The subtitle, however, is misleading: there are four references to lying in the index, and none elsewhere.
O'Connell's key phrase is Theory of Mind (ToM) - the ability to read other people, to understand their emotions, beliefs and expectations, and hence to predict their behaviour. Problems with ToM have been suggested as the underlying cause of the deeply debilitating psychological illnesses of autism and schizophrenia.
The author is a television producer and ex-primatologist who worked on chimpanzees; she has also written a novel called Theory of Mind. (There are in fact more references to chimpanzees than to children in her book.) O'Connell writes well and paces the work smartly. But the book has some of the problems of television science presentation; it jumps around too much. Chapters are incoherent and there are a number of inaccuracies in the reporting of empirical work. (I checked this out with two colleagues cited by O'Connell, and they independently said the same thing.)
Once again, we have a straightforward theme which is threaded through a disparate literature. If you don't understand novels or plays, it's because you can't understand motives or intentions. Without a ToM, you can't empathise. Equally, the better your ToM, the better you can lie, cheat and love!
But the theme is too dissipated, because the issue - empathy - is itself too big. The topic is sold well for the lay reader, but with too much generalisation and emphasis on peripheral, if interesting, studies that seem to confirm the thesis. It's all too inductive trying to infer general laws and universal truths on the basis of a gamut of experimental results, personal observations and good stories.
Do I have a ToM about O'Connell's motives for writing the book? Money, fame, narcissism? The author is clearly committed to her topic, but the trouble with people who get really excited by scientific concepts is that they find the concept can miraculously explain just about everything. And that is the point at which science becomes journalism.Reuse content

Hospital de Zumárraga Guipúzcoa, Spain
Correspondence to: Enrique Antón, MD, PhD, Department of Internal Medicine, Hospital de Zumárraga, 20700-Zumárraga, Guipúzcoa, Spain; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
To the Editor:
I have read with great interest the article by Durning et al (July 2003).1Our experience with round pneumonia2and Q fever3 has permitted to us detect various methodologic errors that make some comments and conclusions in this report questionable.
First, the microbiologic study did not include agents of atypical pneumonia (Q fever, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila). Serologic tests such as seroconversion, elevated IgM in acute stage, or urinary antigens were absent; perhaps this explains why the etiologic organism was not identified.
Second, the authors performed a MEDLINE search that was restricted to the English language. This leads to a serious self-limitation. In the world's first medical database there are, as well as the English-language articles, the abstracts and the medical subject headings that offer essential information about the published reports in non–English-language journals.2–3
Third, in Table 1, which reviews 18 case reports of round pneumonia in adults, 14 cases are shown without etiology (75%). The search for agents of atypical pneumonia appears in none of them.
Fourth, neither were the most relevant articles in English-language journals about etiology of round pneumonia browsed. Round pneumonia constitutes an atypical radiologic presentation of pulmonary infections and is very rare in adults. Q fever is a world zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii (Rickettsiae) that was first described by Derrick in 1937 in Australia.4 Its usual clinical presentation is as pneumonia,3 and so should be included in the diagnostic work of pneumonia. Various authors5–7 have studied the radiologic presentation of Q fever pneumonia in adults, all of them in the English language. Pickworth et al5noticed, in a series of 21 cases, that sometimes (4 cases, 19%) the lesion became rounded (2 to 7 cm in diameter) during resolution, and concluded that the appearance of round pneumonia should alert to possible Q fever. Gordon et al6assessed, retrospectively, chest radiographs of 25 patients with epidemic and sporadic Q fever pneumonia and demonstrated multiple round pneumonia in 14% of sporadic cases and in 45% of epidemic. Millar et al7 reviewed the chest radiographs on hospital admission of 32 cases of Q fever serologically confirmed, and the more frequent lung changes encountered (78%) were multiple round segmental consolidations (from one to seven), 5 to 10 cm in diameter, and usually situated in the lower lobes. Some lesions became round during resolution. They concluded that the finding of a single or multiple round pneumonia was found to be good evidence that the patient had "Q fever."
Q fever is, probably, the first cause of round pneumonia in adults. However, in the 21st century, some authors continue to think that round pneumonia is most often caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae without reference to Q fever.8–9 The diagnostic work in round pneumonia should include agents of atypical pneumonia, especially Q fever.
Durning et al1 state that the "treatment of adults with round pneumonia is not similar to that of individuals with lobar pneumonia." "Therapy with antibiotics in these cases should be effective against the common pathogens causing lobar pneumonia"1 but also against Q fever: old and new macrolides (erythromycin and clarithromycin) and new quinolones (levofloxacin) are curative and prevent chronic Q fever.

text: Hi, I have a filesharing problem between my windows7 machine and my Freecom Media player (a hardware media player to connect to a television). The freecom mediaplayer recognizes my windows 7 PC, but it says that no directories are shared. (but of course I shared some directories in win 7). I have also an old XP pc and file sharing between the Windows 7 machine and the XP machine is no problem. What I already tried: *turning off firewall *enabling the guest account *giving file sharing rights to everyone and to the guest account. *enabeling file and printer sharing *turn off password protection for file sharing *create a homegroup *leaving the homegroup again File sharing between my Freecom media player and my old Win XP PC is possible. Before windows 7, I had Win Vista installed on my new PC. File sharing between the media player and the new PC with windows Vista was also possible. I have build 7100 of Win7 RC. I hope somebody can help me ? I think it might be a problem with rights of the guest account or something like that. Maybe an extra security feature of windows 7 that was not yet present on XP and Vista

With new ambition for dramatic national growth, the organization expands its name, mission and programs – and chooses a "force of nature," say public officials, whose leadership was chronicled in two motion pictures.
June 14, 2016 — The Anne Frank Center USA has renamed itself the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, and has named civil rights leader Steven Goldstein to be its new Executive Director. The new name, and Goldstein himself, make their debut at the organization's 20th annual gala on Tuesday, June 14 at the New York Academy of Medicine.
With Goldstein's hiring, the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect not only adopts a new name, but also a wider mission. To date, the organization has focused largely on the history of Anne Frank and the Holocaust, with forays into addressing contemporary prejudice and discrimination. Now the organization, reflecting the Mutual Respect in its new name, will significantly broaden its work on contemporary issues to become a national leader in exposing and fighting hate.
The inspiration for organization's expanded name and mission is the late Otto Frank, Anne's father. He founded the organization in the United States in 1959 to "build a world based on equal rights and mutual respect."
In ushering in a new era, the organization sought a leader with a vision as big as its own. That's when it hired Goldstein, who achieved national renown as the longtime leader of Garden State Equality, New Jersey's statewide organization for LGBT equality. From the time he founded Garden State Equality in 2004, the organization amassed 150,000 members and won a record-breaking 216 new civil rights laws at every level in the state. In an article covering Goldstein's leadership, The Harvard Law and Policy Review credited him with building a "model organization" in the United States for achieving social justice.
He moved on from Garden State Equality in 2013, the year New Jersey won marriage equality, to become an associate professor of law and political science at Rutgers University in Newark. In 2015, Steve Carell played Goldstein in the motion picture "Freeheld," chronicling one of Garden State Equality's legendary battles for justice. The movie was based on the 2007 documentary "Freeheld," featuring the real Steven Goldstein, that won the Oscar® for Best Short Documentary.
In addition to Goldstein, the organization's new leadership team includes new Board Chair Peter Rapaport and a new Deputy Director, staff veteran Rebecca Faulkner. They, along with the rest of the Board and staff, are committed to unprecedented organizational growth in both public programming and national reach. At the same time, they vow to strengthen the organization's work to commemorate Anne Frank and the Holocaust.
"As we work to make the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect a national powerhouse in fighting the hate that exists in our world today," Goldstein said, "we will teach the stories of the tragic past, including Anne Frank's. That's how we'll make the Holocaust more relevant to young people in every generation ahead."
"This is an exciting new start for the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect," said Peter Rapaport, Chair of the organization's board. "We chose Steven Goldstein because he is a bold leader who thinks big and delivers big. His vision of growth is ours: Not just to do the same things better, but rather to do bigger things better. Our organization is lucky and excited to have Steven leading us!"
Among the people who know Goldstein best is New Jersey Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg. For years, the two have worked hand-in-hand to win equality.
"When Steven promises to make the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect a national powerhouse, believe him," said Weinberg. "He is an unstoppable force of nature who transforms organizations, opinions and other people's lives. Steven will inspire you, and maybe overwhelm you, with his vision, his passion, his heart and his mind. Watching him in this job will be a thrill for me and many others who admire him and love him."
Another official close to Goldstein is New Jersey Senator Raymond Lesniak, who has also worked with Goldstein to bring equality to the state.
"I cried when I read 'The Diary of Anne Frank,'" said Lesniak. "Now I'm crying tears of joy that the force of nature who became one of the greatest civil rights leaders New Jersey ever had is the new executive director of the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect."
Prior to his leading Garden State Equality and teaching at Rutgers, Goldstein was a television news producer, winning 10 Emmy Awards, and a senior staff member in both houses of Congress. He was a lawyer for the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, and then communications director for the late U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg.
Goldstein received his B.A. summa cum laude from Brandeis University; his Master in Public Policy degree from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government; his M.S. from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and his J.D. from Columbia Law School. He also began rabbinical school in mid-career. A native of New York City, he currently lives in Teaneck, New Jersey.
ANNE FRANK CENTER FOR MUTUAL RESPECT educates the nation to fight harder for Anne Frank's dream: An inclusive world in which mutual respect replaces hatred and its consequences. Our inspiring programs, tailored to youth and adults from every walk of life, train participants to recognize and stop prejudice even at its earliest stages. Through our work that honors Anne Frank's diary and enduring legacy, the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect does more than respond to prejudice. We teach our nation to prevent it.

Paraglider stuck in Issaquah tree 80 feet off ground
A paraglider crashed into a tree on Tiger Mountain Trail in Issaquah on Thursday night and got stuck about 80 feet off the ground.
Firefighters responded to the call around 6:30 p.m., but could not get the man down, said Craig Hooper, Eastside Fire and Rescue battalion chief. Specialists were called in to help.
Hooper said he spoke to the paraglider around 8:20 p.m., and the man seemed to be fine. "He said he's, quote unquote, 'still hanging in there'," Hooper said.
