I recently discussed whether Ignatius relied on Paul's letter to the Ephesians when he wrote his own letters. During my review of the letters and secondary literature, I revisited the issue of Ignatius's awareness of Luke-Acts. I had previously touched on this issue in my article about the the Acts of the Apostles and concluded that the points of contact were insufficient to establish awareness of Luke or Acts. Upon further review, I believe the issue deserves more in-depth discussion and a stronger case for Ignatius' dependence on Luke-Acts can be made.
Knowledge of Paul's Connection with Ephesus
The most important piece of evidence that prompted my review of this issue was Ignatius' reference to the Ephesian Church and Paul's martyrdom.
You are a passageway for those slain for God; you are fellow initiates with Paul, the holy one who received a testimony and proved worthy of all fortune. When I attain to God, may I be found in his footsteps, this one who mentions you in every epistle in Christ Jesus. (Ign.Eph., Ch. 12, Loeb Ed.)
Ignatius knew that Paul had a special connection with the Ephesian Church. Standing alone, this fact might be adequately explained by Ignatius' knowledge of Paul's letter to the Ephesians and references to the Ephesians in other Pauline letters, such as 1 Corinthians or 1 and 2 Timothy. Or, possibly, there already were widespread traditions about Paul's missionary activities featuring Ephesus that had circulated among the early churches. But there is more to the story which suggests that Ignatius is referring to a specific event as it is recounted in Acts.
The reference to the the Ephesian Church being "a passageway for those slain for God" and Paul's connection with that passageway was likely meant to be a reference to Paul's expected martyrdom, as suggested even more by the reference to Paul receiving a testimony and being proved worthy just after the reference to being a passageway for martyrs. Further, Ignatius describes the Ephesians as being "fellow initiates" with Paul," further suggesting a connection between Paul's martyrdom and the Ephesian Church.
A likely candidate as a source for Ignatius' reference is the scene narrated in Acts 20:13-38. Paul is on his way to Jerusalem, intentionally bypasses Ephesus to save time, and lands in Miletus. Nevertheless, Paul summons the "elders" from the Ephesian Church to meet him in Miletus. Acts then recounts a speech Paul gives to the Ephesian elders that has a sense of foreboding. Paul states that he is "going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there," yet he expects "prisons and hardships" and persecution by his Jewish opponents. He also refers to "finishing the Race" God has set before him. Acts 20:22-24. Then the Ephesian elders bid Paul farewell with much sadness, "What grieved them most was his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship." Acts 20:38.
As William R. Schoedel notes, the statement in Acts 20:38 "probably suffices to explain the reference to Ephesus as a highway for martyrs. For the whole passage is highly idealized and tends to make sweeping claims on the basis of few instances." Ignatius of Antioch, Hermenei, page 73. Paul Trebilco agrees and notes that Ign.Eph. 12.2 "probably refers to Acts 20:38 where the Ephesian elders formally farewelled Paul, aware that they would never see him again. They are also fellow initiates [] with Paul, which again probably simply refers to the strong links Paul has with Ephesus." Paul Trebilco, The Early Christians in Ephesus from Paul to Ignatius, page 687.
Unlike with many of the other examples of literary dependence in 1 Clement and Ignatius' letters, we are not dealing here with similarities in vocabulary but with a reference to a particular event reported in a particular way. The question then is whether it is more likely that Ignatius is describing a relationship and event based on the account in Acts or whether he learned about them in some other way.
It is possible that Ignatius knew from other sources that the Ephesian Church had been involved with Paul in some way associated with his martyrdom. However, we have no evidence of a source other than Acts recounting the tradition. We could hypothesize that the Ephesian Church itself publicized this account but again we have no evidence that such was the case. Although Ephesus' connection with Paul was likely well known, why would that church or others have associated it so closely with what Ignatius took to be a reference to Paul's martyrdom absent the account in Acts? According to Acts, Paul visited many places on his way to Jerusalem, including Corinth, Thessalonika, Miletus and Athens. Indeed, the farewelling of Paul by the Ephesian Church did not even take place in Ephesus. Paul avoided Ephesus on the final leg of the trip to Jerusalem. He met with the Ephesian church's elders in Miletus.
It seems more likely, therefore, that the special association of Ephesus with Paul's martyrdom by Ignatius is best explained by the way the scene in Acts 20 is recounted. The uniqueness of the association in Luke-Acts should not be understated. Paul's farewell speech to the Ephesians has a foreboding note to it. It is also the only speech in Acts in which Paul addresses a Christian audience and the last speech Paul gives before he is arrested in Jerusalem and transported to Rome. Ignatius likely understood it -- as have some others -- to be a reference to Paul's expected death. Even if the connection is not explicit, given Ignatius' own situation he can be forgiven for assuming that the references are to Paul's martyrdom.
It is this last fact that, in my opinion, tips the scales in favor of Ignatius' reliance on Acts 20. The story in Acts about Paul summoning the leaders of the Ephesian church to visit him and its perceived relationship to Paul's martyrdom has interesting similarities to Ignatius' own situation. Ignatius was on his way to martyrdom in Rome as well. Like Paul, he did not travel to Ephesus but met a delegation from the church in Ephesus (not in Miletus but in Smyrna). This may explain why Ignatius wrote that when he "attains to God, may he be found in [Paul's] footsteps." He related his own situation to that of Paul, on the passageway to martyrdom and sharing that road with the Ephesian Church in the same manner as Paul. All told, it is more likely that Acts 20 is the source of Ignatius' references in Chapter 12 than a more general tradition associating Paul with Ephesus.
Reliance on Luke-Acts's Passion and Resurrection Narratives
The second issue that caused me to rethink my initial dismissal of the idea that Ignatius demonstrated awareness of Luke-Acts is three to four points of apparent contact between Ignatius' letters and the Passion and Resurrection Narratives as recounted in Luke-Acts. What is most interesting and, perhaps, telling about these connections is that Ignatius seems to demonstrate awareness of features of Luke-Acts' recounting of Jesus' death and resurrection that are found in none of the other Gospels.
First, Ignatius notes that Jesus was crucified "under Pontius Pilate and Herod the tetrarch" in Ign.Symrn. 1.2. Luke is the only Gospel that associates Herod with Jesus' crucifixion, as recounted in Luke 23:7-12. Although Herod is mentioned in other Gospels, they nowhere associate him with the trial or death of Jesus. Further, Luke-Acts references Herod as tetrarch on four occasions (three times in Luke, once in Acts). He is not described as tetrarch in Mark or John. Matthew refers to Herod as tetrarch once, but not in connection with the Passion Narrative.
Second, Ignatius refers to Jesus' post-resurrection appearance to the disciples and invitation to touch his physical body as evidence of his material, rather than ephemeral, form. Symrn. 3.1-2 ("For I know and believe that he was in the flesh even after the resurrection; and when he came to Peter and those with him, he said to them: 'Take hold of me; handle me and see that I am not a disembodied demon.'"). In Luke 24:39, Jesus appeared post-resurrection to the disciples and stated, "Behold my hands and my feet, that is it I Myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have." Eduoard Masaux calls this a "striking parallel" and notes that both authors use the same Greek expression for "Handle me and see". Edouard Massaux, The Influence of the Gospel of Saint Matthew on Christian Literature Before Saint Irenaeus, page 98. Massaux advises caution because Eusebius was unsure of the source of Ignatius' reference but in my opinion this makes Luke all the more likely as there are no other likely candidates known to Eusebius. More to the point, Luke is the only Canonical Gospel that includes a post-resurrection appearance of Jesus were Jesus emphasizes his corporeality by inviting His followers to "Handle me and see."
Third, Ignatius refers to Jesus' post-resurrection meal with His followers, with emphasis on his eating and drinking. Symrn. 3.3 ("And after his resurrection he ate and drank with them like one who is composed of flesh, although spiritually he was united with the Father."). There are two candidates from Luke-Acts that recount a similar occasion. Acts 10:41 states, "He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead." As for the Gospel of Luke, Luke 24:30-34 recounts how after the resurrection Jesus joined his disciples, who did not at first recognize him, for a meal and broke bread and handed it out. Thereafter, in Luke 24:41-43, Jesus returns, shows his hands and feet (as discussed above), and eats broiled fish "in their presence."
The vocabulary of Acts is more similar, but the event recounted in Luke could also explain the reference, as it is meant to carry the same significance. Massaux leans towards "a literary contact with Acts" instead of Luke. Massaux, op. cit., page 99. So too does Richard Rackham ("His statement that after the resurrection (the Lord) ate with them and drank with them as being of flesh (Smyrn. 3) seems based on Acts x 41."). The Acts of the Apostles, page xv. Linguistically the reference is closer to Acts, but Acts is likely a summary that references the occasion in Luke 24. At the very least, therefore, we have a likely literary contact with Acts recounting a tradition also preserved in Luke, but in none of the other Canonical Gospels.
Finally, there is a possible literary contact between Ignatius' letter to the Magnesians and Acts. In Magn. 5.1 Ignatius writes, "all things have an end, two things together lie before us, death and life, and everyone will go to his own place." In Acts 1:25, the same phrase is used and associated with death, but is specifically associated with Judas' betrayal: "to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." Standing alone, it is not strong evidence of dependence, but it adds at least minor cumulative weight to the overall case given its uniqueness to Luke-Acts, association with the Passion and Resurrection Narratives, and similar vocabulary.
Other Possible Points of Contact
Although the reference to Ephesus' association with Paul's martyrdom and references to facts unique to Luke-Acts' passion and resurrection narratives are the strongest part of the case, there are at least two other possible points of literary contact which are worth mentioning. The first is another passage from Ignatius' letter to the church in Smyrna. At Smyrn. 10.2, Ignatius writes, "May my spirit be a ransom on your behalf, and my bonds as well which you did not despise, nor were you ashamed of them. Nor will the perfect hope, Jesus Christ, be ashamed of you." This idea of having shame for Jesus being reciprocated by shame from Jesus is also found in Luke 9:26 ("If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.").
Another possible contact arises from Ignatius' comment in Polycarp 2:1, that "If you love good disciples, it is no credit to you; rather with gentleness bring the more troublesome ones into submission." This sounds similar to Luke 6:32, which states, "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them." Although the sentiment is similar, this is not a strong literary parallel.
Neither of these two examples, or some others rated as a "D" (which the Oxford Society of Historical Theology describes as "those books which may possibly be referred to, but in regard to which the evidence appeared too uncertain to allow any reliance to be placed upon it"), add much to the case other than to allow for the possibility of broader familiarity once a meritorious case for dependence elsewhere is made.
A good case can be made for Ignatius' awareness of Luke-Acts. The two strongest factors weighing in favor are the apparent familiarity with the scene in Miletus found in Acts 20 and the three to four points of contact with events unique to the Passion and Resurrection Narratives in Luke-Acts. Although the points of strong vocabulary similarities are few -- though present -- the familiarity with scenes recounted in Luke-Acts but not in any other likely source make the case for dependence more likely than the case against it.

Anyone who has tried to use an ordinary dimmer with unsuitable LED based lamps or lighting systems will know that the results can be disappointing. Extreme flickering, unsmooth light variation or even complete failure can be the result, because LED technology is quite different to that of incandescent lamps and it works in a different way.
Now leading British Smart Home technology designers LightwaveRF have introduced a new ŌĆś Smart DimmerŌĆÖ which is compatible with the majority of dimmable LED lamps, enabling smooth dimming of the latest energy-savingĀ lamps either locally or remotely using a Smartphone or Tablet.Ā
The dimmers are not only LED compatible, but they also have an intelligent 5-level dimming depth option. When the LED lamps are installed, the dimmer can be adapted to a particular lampŌĆÖs lowest dimming point, making it a simple and truly compatible solution. Once the new dimmers are fitted, they can be controlled either manually, locally using a handheld remote, or from a Smartphone. The LightwaveRF app, (free to download from the App Store and Google Play), also allows users to set ŌĆśtimersŌĆÖ and ŌĆśeventsŌĆÖ so that a house can look occupied even if there is no one at home. This lighting feature works seamlessly with LightwaveRF heating and power controls to ensure that the entire performance of your home is in your hands wherever you are.
John Shermer, Managing Director of JSJS Designs, the British design company behind the project, says: ŌĆ£We are delighted to be releasing this new range of LED-compatible dimmers. Recent changes in the lighting industry have meant LEDs are now in many more locations and traditional dimmers are not always able to operate them.ŌĆØ This advance in the system makes it easy and economical to successfully control LED lighting, and cut energy bills even further.
Because LightwaveRF systems are modular and all devices are fully compatible with each other, the Smart Dimmers (Model No. JSJSLW400/420/430/440) can be installed at any time and work smoothly with other devices already installed. They mark a significant step towards the companyŌĆÖs goal of providing energy-saving solutions at an affordable price. The Smart Dimmers are now available from major online and specialist retailers with prices starting at Ż39.99.

A structured-based neural network (NN) with backpropagation through structure (BPTS) algorithm is conducted for image classification in organizing a large image database, which is a challenging problem under investigation. Many factors can affect the results of image classification. One of the most important factors is the architecture of a NN, which consists of input layer, hidden layer and output layer. In this study, only the numbers of nodes in hidden layer (hidden nodes) of a NN are considered. Other factors are kept unchanged. Two groups of experiments including 2,940 images in each group are used for the analysis. The assessment of the effects for the first group is carried out with features described by image intensities, and, the second group uses features described by wavelet coefficients. Experimental results demonstrate that the effects of the numbers of hidden nodes on the reliability of classification are significant and non-linear. When the number of hidden nodes is 17, the classification rate on training set is up to 95%, and arrives at 90% on the testing set. The results indicate that 17 is an appropriate choice for the number of hidden nodes for the image classification when a structured-based NN with BPTS algorithm is applied.

Nice Young Man
We heard about a story out of Tampa about a young kid that was working for a company where he moved people. While in an elevator with a few other people, it got stuck.
The kid noticed another older woman in the elevator that was using a walker. She told everyone she wasn't allowed to stand for long periods of time. It was then the kid decided to get on all fours and let her use him as a bench!
The kid works for a company that said, "That's what our company is all about. It's about helping others that can't help themselves."
The older woman sat on the kid for about half an hour.

Scrapping the education maintenance allowance, paid to poor teenagers to help them continue studying, will stop thousands getting the qualifications they need to lift them out of poverty, she said.
Sue Rimmer, who has been principal of South Thames College for nine years, was awarded an OBE in the New Year honours. The college has five campuses including in Wandsworth and Balham.
She said if the allowance was lost, more than 1,000 students at her college would be affected.
"It is really important that we have a focus on employment outcomes and career prospects, without that London becomes a place where Londoners can struggle to contribute and benefit from the capital.
"Further education ensures Londoners have the opportunity to develop the skills they need for employment, so they can benefit from being in a global city," she said. "This will have a disproportionate impact in London on the participation of the most disadvantaged people.
"Further education is one of the most important ways of increasing social mobility, providing access to skills and qualifications and employment.
"Without EMA students won't come to college, or they will drop out."
The Education Maintenance Allowance of between £10 and £30 a week is paid to students whose household income is less than £30,000 a year. Student groups are planning to protest against plans to cut it on January 11, when MPs are due to vote on the issue.
Ms Rimmer, from Streatham, is the former chairwoman of the Association of Colleges London region. It was her work for that group and other national education organisations that was recognised with the OBE.Reuse content

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - August 18, 1995, New Braunfels, Texas Herald-Zeitung □ Friday, August 18 ,1995 Classy car delivers luxury and quality at a price that can't be beat David Sullens huge car, in fact The Cadillac Fleetwood is by no means an inexpensive automobile. But for what it is and for what it provides, it seems to me to be one of today's real automotive bargains. The Fleetwood Brougham with which I recently spent a week had every automotive convenience and/or luxury ever conceived by the mind of man. It was a big car - a with extremely luxurious appointments. It was very well built and during those seven days, I could find not a single fault with its fit or its finish. The suggested retail price of the car was $40,538 and that's not pocket change in anybody's book. But compared with the other cars in the Fleetwood Brougham's market area -most of them from Japan or Germany - that's a downright bargain. The '95 Fleetwood and the Fleetwood Brougham are both traditional large luxury cars with rear wheel drive and big V8 engines. The Fleetwood and its upscale partner, the Brougham, are the longest six passenger passenger sedans in production and they provide all the interior room and trunk space you would expect that to imply. The Fleetwoods are powered by a 5.7-liter (350 cubic inch) V8 with sequential port fuel injection. The cast iron, overhead valve engine produces 260 horsepower at 4800 rpm and 330 foot-pounds of torque at 3200 rpm, yet is rated at 17 miles per gallon in town and 25 on the highway. The big Fleetwood Brougham's zero-to-60 time is 8.5 seconds, meaning that its driver has all the acceleration and passing power he or she could want. The Fleetwood's standard 23-gallon fuel tank gives it a 575 mile cruising range. The first scheduled tune-up for the Fleetwood powerplant is at 100,000 miles. The engine is mated with a four-speed automatic transmission via a sophisticated Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that accepts input from both units and provides for a seamless interface between the engine and the transmission. It compensates for such things as varia- 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood tions in altitude and barometric pressure and even adjusts for wear throughout the life of the transmission. Dexron III transmission fluid is used in the Fleetwood transmissions. This new fluid resists oxidation at high temperatures so effectively that it never needs to be changed under normal service conditions. Both anti-lock brakes and traction control are standard on the Fleetwood and Fleetwood Brougham. Traction control helps keep the vehicle stable during acceleration and under conditions which would be conducive to wheel spin, such as slippery roads or even hard acceleration on dry pavement. The ABS senses wheel lockup under braking and modulates the brakes to maintain optimal stopping power and ability. The traction control is a full speed system that monitors the speed of each wheel using sensors to provide continuous information to the Electronic Brake Control Module. If this computer determines that one or both of the rear wheels arc beginning to spin, it reduces wheel spin by pulsing the brakes and relaxing the throttle to reduce engine power. The traction control system can be disengaged. Both the ABS and the traction control system are controlled by Bosch electronics. Steering aboard the Fleetwoods is, of course, power assisted. Assist is variable, with more boost provided at low, in-town speeds, and less at higher, highway speeds. Both the Fleetwood and the Fleetwood Brougham ride on 15-inch cast aluminum wheels and Michelin XW4 P235/70R15 tires. Chrome wheels are offered as an option and were provided on the test vehicle. The single word to best describe the Fleetwood Brougham or the Fleetwood is "spacious." No car in production today offers greater interior volume. And that spaciousness translates in the Cadillac to outstanding comfort. Amenities provided on the big luxury cars include everything from an anti-lockout feature to an available built-in three-channel garage door opener to standard heated front seats. The anti-lockout system disables all electronic features that lock the doors if the key is left in the ignition in either the "accessory" or "off" position and the driver's floor is then opened, thus preventing the driver from inadvertently locking the keys in the car. The heated seats also feature a new electronic lumbar system for 1995. An adjustable wire frame integrated into the seat assembly replaces the bladder style system used previously. All Fleetwood models have six-way adjustable power front seats with a power recline feature. Brougham models also have a driver's seat memory system which recalls the position settings of two different drivers. The front seat armrest includes a dual cupholder, storage for cassettes and compact discs, a coin holder and a tissue dispenser. Fleetwood Brougham models also feature a fold-down center rear seat armrest with a dual cupholder and storage compartment. Something I found intriguing was the test car's power drain protection system which turned off the interior or underhood lights if they were left on more than IO minutes to prevent the battery's being run down. The climate control system was fully automatic, of course, and rear seat heater ducts were provided. Despite its huge size, the Fleetwood and Fleetwood Brougham models have a .36 coefficient of drag due to their aerodynamic shapes. The low Cd provides for increased fuel economy and decreased wind noise. A full padded roof is available as an option on the Fleetwood and is standard but may be deleted on the Brougham. The base price of the test car was $35,595. Options added included: a $360 security package that included a theft deterrent system and automatic lock/unlock fuel filler door; leather seating for $2,250; chrome wheels, $1195; radio upgrade to include compact disc player, $396; and universal garage door opener, $107. Destination charges added another $635 to bring the suggest retail price to the aforementioned $40,538.

Wire mesh storage is generally used for unique and specific purposes. One of
the most common uses of this sort of system is for the security or
protection of certain items. For example wire mesh lockers or enclosures are often used to house gas bottles or cylinders safely
on site. There are often guidelines in place that demand that the storage of gas cylinders needs to be safe and
secure and for this reason these enclosures are lockable yet the contents inside perfectly

As Carrie might type on her laptop while giving one of her girly little shrugs, When did Sex and the City become so long and mean so little?
The ugly smell of unexamined privilege hangs over this film like the smoke from cheap incense.
An insult to the memory of the cleverly written show and its celebration of friendship, it's a slap in the face for the four gal pals (often photographed at unflattering angles) and an affront to Muslims.
An enervated, crass and gruesomely caricatured trip to nowhere [that] seems conceived primarily to find new and more cynical ways to abuse the loyalty of its audience.
Twelve years, one beloved HBO series, and two feature films on, the Sex and the City gals have been reduced to Bratz dolls for grown women.
Sarah Jessica Parker is now 45 years old, and, frankly, I cannot stomach another moment of the simpering, mincing, hair-tossing, eyelash-batting little-girl shtick she's been pulling ever since she emerged...
Though the sequel is a welcome return of the four women we know and love, it's tough not to acknowledge that if we were all friends in real life, at this point we'd probably stop taking their calls.
Like a plastic surgeon, storyteller King keeps trying to find new ways to lift and tighten his characters, but they have become garish caricatures of themselves.
Some of these people make my skin crawl. The characters of Sex and the City 2 are flyweight bubbleheads living in a world which rarely requires three sentences in a row.
I enjoyed these characters more when they were rich, rather than obscenely rich, when their self-involvement and life crises had one foot on planet Earth -- and when they weren't all gussied up like Mae West in Sextette.
Thanks to writer-director Michael Patrick King, I now have a fair idea how it might feel to be stoned to death with scented candles.
Sex and the City 2 is a champagne cocktail on a runaway train -- fizzy, sparkly, giddy-making, and splashing all over the place.
Though the 2 in the title implies a double shot of everything fans loved about the series, there is less.
In the end it's the fun movie it's supposed to be. Raise your cosmos in a modest toast.
Honestly, by the time they ride camels, it's Ishtar in designer gowns.
The only thing memorable about Sex and the City 2 is the number two part, which describes it totally, if you get my drift.
As tasteless as an Arabian cathouse, as worn-out as your 1998 flip-flops and as hideous as the mom jeans Carrie wears with a belly-baring gingham top, Sex and the City 2 is two of the worst movies of the year.
It's slower and more of an eye-roller than the first film, but also a lot more about the women.
King and his cast seem content to put everything on autopilot and hope glamour and shopping sprees will be enough to carry them. Nothing much happens -- and it takes 2.5 hours for it not to happen in.

In an unusual decision, the Bedford County Board of Supervisors voted 5-2 last week to appeal a decision by the county's board of zoning appeals. That ruling overturned a decision by the county's planning department that a used equipment sales business in Montvale was not in compliance with zoning requirements.
Board Chairman Roger Cheek and District 7 Supervisor Gary Lowry cast the only dissenting votes against the appeal.
"He's just not in compliance with zoning," said District 6 Supervisor Annie Pollard, who requested the action.
"What am I going to do?" asked Ed Harman, as he stopped by Coffey and Saunders in Bedford, Monday afternoon.
The Bedford County Planning Commission voted, Monday night, to recommend approval of a campground in the Huddleston area.
The proposed campground will occupy 10 acres of a 64-acre property owned by Scott and Ida Heath. The property is bordered by White House Road and Ayers Road.
The campground will consist of 18 campsites that can accommodate RV's and six that are limited to tents. It will have a 24-foot by 65-foot camp store and a 24-foot by 41-foot caretaker's house.
A tanker truck spill last Thursday afternoon in Montvale backed up traffic for several hours and left several thousand gallons of spilled gasoline to clean up.
Brett Favre's name is being dragged through the muck these days. Surprisingly, it has little to do with his propensity to throw interceptions at the most inopportune times.
Nor does it have to do with yet another Hamlet-like waffling over his career options.
If all things are equal, the odds of winning something 18 consecutive times are one-in-262,144.
That's if all things are equal. Such as with a coin flip.
Like a ninja, Liberty showed that it has numerous weapons at its disposal.
More importantly, the Minutemen showed they are adept at using such weaponry.
This Sunday a growing Moneta church is going to the grocery store.
On Sunday, Oct. 17, the old Shoprite building at the corner of Va. 122 and Hendricks Store Road will come back to life as EastLake Community Church holds its first service at the renovated building.

Michigan Food & Beverage Association, State Police To partner in K2 education, enforcement campaign
Gov. Rick Snyder signed today the package of bills into law banning the synthetic drugs in Michigan. The new law updates the list of illegal chemicals used to make synthetic drugs, which becomes effective July 1. The law also gives the state the immediate power to ban a substance if it is deemed an imminent danger to people's health.
Part of the MFBA / State Police campaign will involve State Troopers visiting retailers to make sure they are aware that synthetic drugs are illegal. Retailers will be asked to display a window decal at their locations to inform customers they support the new law.
"We applaud the swift legislative work of the Michigan House and Senate in drafting this new law, and Gov. Snyder's speedy approval," said MFBA President and CEO Jennifer Kluge. "We look forward to working with Michigan State Police to ensure our members, along with other retailers across the state, comply with the new law banning these dangerous products." Earlier this month, the MFBA publically advocated a "no sale" policy for synthetic drugs, while supporting state legislative efforts for the law which Gov. Snyder signed today.
"There is nothing OK, legal or safe about synthetic drugs like K2, and the Michigan State Police is taking a zero tolerance approach to enforcement,"
Based in Warren, Mich., the Michigan Food and Beverage Association (MFBA) is a trade organization that represents more than 3,500 members who employ over 60,000 persons throughout the State of Michigan. Members include independent grocers, convenience store operators, local food chains, restaurants, food establishments, taverns, gas station operators, manufacturers, processors, wholesalers and brokers. http://www.michfood.org

Billing Information, Hours, & Rates
Home Base works in cooperation with family, school, and community to provide high-quality childcare through enriching activities for all elementary children in the Wayzata Public Schools community.
Home Base:
Is a fee-based program which provides before- and after-school childcare for children kindergarten to grade five.
Is located at each of the eight Wayzata elementary schools and the Early Learning School.
Provides a choice-based environment where children can grow, build friendships, and develop their social skills under the supervision of nurturing caregivers.
Is led by experienced professionals in school-age care at each site.
Follows school-age care guidelines.
Provides full-day programs when school is not in session, such as conference days and school breaks.
Bright Start:
Provides full-day care for children the year before kindergarten.
Is a high-quality pre-kindergarten program.
Utilizes a research-based curriculum.
Is led by experienced, well-trained staff.
Is designed to meet the social and educational need of four- and five-year-old children in the year before kindergarten.
Home Base Program Philosophy
Home Base is a quality, extended-day childcare program located at all eight elementary schools in the Wayzata Public Schools and at the Early Learning School. The program provides enrichment opportunities for elementary-age children before and after school hours, as well as on release days and during the summer.
Home Base is a warm and caring place where staff has the highest regard for children and believes all children deserve their best efforts. Home Base provides a safe, enriching, recreational program conducive to social interaction and learning with minimal formal structure. Through all our activities and interactions we are striving to show children how to feel good about themselves, make choices, resolve differences and contribute in healthy ways to their community.
Home Base's location in the schools offers parents an added measure of safety and convenience. It gives staff the support and resources of teachers, principals, social workers, nurses, and special needs experts and support staff. We hope it sends a message to families that Wayzata Public Schools supports them in their task of raising healthy, happy, responsible, and capable children. Home Base supports families by including them in their child's day, befriending them, and offering them expertise in the care and nurturing of their children.
The History of Home Base
In 1980, a group of parents in the Greenwood Elementary attendance area began talking about the need for school-age child care in Wayzata Public Schools. As they became more organized they brought their concerns to the principal who forwarded them to the newly formed Community Education office. Community Education Services sent a needs assessment survey to all elementary parents. The survey showed both need and interest in the program. A task force under the Community Education Services Advisory Council then collected data and went before the school board with a tentative school-age childcare proposal. The board agreed to a one-year pilot program.
The first Home Base program began in the fall of 1981 with thirty-five children and three staff members in room 23 at Oakwood Elementary School. After a successful first year, the program grew. By the fall of 1986, there was a Home Base program in every elementary school in the district. In the fall of 1989, an additional site was added at the new Plymouth Creek Elementary School and the Widsten site was moved to the new Gleason Lake Elementary School. In the fall of 1991, Kimberly Lane opened.
The Home Base staff has grown from three members to over 100. We offer full-year childcare programming with over 1,800 children representing 1,600 families utilizing Home Base during the school year and a full-day summer program, which serves 800 children. Home Base is supported solely by parent fees and falls under Wayzata Public School's Community Education Department. Our program has a strong base of parent support as well as school board approval and is growing and evolving into the best program it can be.

1985 MacGregor keel
Hello, After posting whether to buy or not, I did! I now have a 1985 MacGregor on the trailer, and the keel laying beside it... I had originally assumed it slid into place from the inside, wrong. How does this thing go on?? And last but far from least where are the cables to raise and lower it??
Thanks for any help
Re: 1985 MacGregor keel
How about a picture, is it a swing keel of dagger board set up..??

It is a swing keel, here are the pictures. Thanks!!
Re: 1985 MacGregor keel
It should look something like this when installed:

Congrats on your new purchase! I hope you get many years of enjoyment from her!
Re: 1985 MacGregor keel
THANK YOU!!!! A gold mine of information!
Thanks again
Re: 1985 MacGregor keel
I owned a Mac 222 for a while. Make sure you do some measurements of the width of that swing keel to make sure it has not de-laminated from the steel and swollen to the point where it will not go back up into the keel pocket. The winch for the keel cable should be directly under the companionway entrance. To get that thing back in the boat you will likely have to lift the boat off the trailer and put the keel in after blocking the boat up and lifting the keel with a jack. Check out this guys thread on the subject.
have fun with the boat. She sails above here pay grade and balances like a boat much bigger.

Mindfulness is a simple practice with seemingly limitless benefits. And, contrary to popular belief, learning it does not require sitting motionless for hours in the lotus position. You can in fact access it right now—and this little deck of cards is a convenient way to get started. Each of the 52 cards presents one of the exercises Zen teacher Jan Chozen Bays has developed for fostering mindful awareness among her students. It's as easy as:
Observing the sensations of eating ● "checking in" while driving your car ● taking three breaths whenever a phone rings ● aiming to be on time to everything for a week ● conscious smiling ● relaxing your hands several times a day ● resolving to pay a compliment daily ● listening like a sponge ● and so forth
Pick a card a week and try it. Before long these small moments of awareness will accumulate to infuse your days with the wisdom and kindness that are the natural result of mindful living.

Death from aboveMature
In the early 19th century an eight story building was considered as being a skyscraper. The world's tallest structure is the 2,723 foot tall Burj Khalifa sky scraper in Dubai. At the moment Ryan began his fall, the definition of an acceptable skyscraper had expanded to any building of over five-hundred feet high. On average, a single "story" of a building was twelve feet high. At the moment Ryan began his fall, a sky scraper was defined at about forty-three stories high; or about five-hundred and sixteen feet.
One brief second after Ryan left the balcony, his swollen red eyes had air rushing into them. His rate of accelerated descent increased to thirty-two feet per second, per second. He was configured to process that on any planetary body, for every one second he fell, his velocity would increase by the amount equal to the pull of gravity on that planet. On this planet, dependent upon how he configured his body shape; he would reach a terminal velocity of approximately 120 mph within ten seconds. If he extended his limbs his rate of descent would slow due to air resistance. If he curled into a ball, he would fall at a higher velocity. Terminal velocity is the point that the force due to air resistance equals to your weight so that you no longer gain acceleration and your falling velocity remains constant.
His multi-parallel microscale plasma coplanar processor determined that it had less than two seconds before the frame he currently occupied would impact the solid surface below, known on this planet as "the ground" or "earth" or "the sidewalk below". It had instantaneously calculated what would occur when his frame; being in motion - stopped too soon.
The greyish brown stone of the school swept by Ryan as he plummeted downward and he was so close to the wall that he could reach out and touch it. Gazing and then focusing upward, Ryan made out the form of Charlie Campbell, the student who had spotted him on the railing above. Charlie was hung over the railing, his arm extended outward, eyes wide and mouth agape as he watched the crazy person fall to a sure and untimely death below. Ryan read his lips and discerned a long moan of "Oh my God!" escaping from his throat.
A nano-second later Ryan's Cyberdyne titanium arm, capable of holding nearly six-hundred pounds by itself and extending some sixty-one inches from his frame, shot outward and clasped one of the steel bars making up the scaffolding being used to refurbish portions of the school. This caused the entire scaffold to creak and moan as his 200 pounds suddenly ceased it's downward movement and began swinging wildly sideways.
His DLR hand, with five articulated fingers powered by a web of 38 tendons, each connected to an individual motor on the forearm, was able to control its stiffness. The motors had the ability to tension the tendons, allowing the hand to absorb violent shocks. Using the extreme non-human flexion and extension built into the wrist, Ryan easily swung himself in an arc and then upward onto the scaffolding's flooring which consisted of three parallell rows of two by six planks. He then jumped quickly from it to the balcony next to it.
Ryan came to a sudden halt on the balcony. which wobbled slightly as he landed on it. Opening and going through the sliding glass door, he found himself in one of the large science classrooms on the second floor. It was empty except for Prof. Michael Milland who taught and conducted science at the university. Professor Milland was bending over a table, closely watching a green tinted laser. He had on a white lab coat and red-orange glasses protecting his eyes from harm should the laser have any issue.
With one leap, Ryan cleared the distance between the balcony door and the good doctor, who by now was reeling backward, nearly stumbling off his feet. The green laser beam cocked immediately upward forty-five degrees and began piercing a burn line in one of the white ceiling tiles above the table.

Part Thirty-SevenMature
The following night, Nannie tells us that she's going to live here for a while. Our mother told her what happened with Seb, and she doesn't want it happening again. She says she's surprised to see him looking healthier.
He mutters something inaudibly.
"Sebastian, if you don't start using full sentences, I will make it a certainty that you see a therapist," Nannie says, exasperated.
"I'm trying not to worry Lola," he says quietly.
Nannie raises an eyebrow. "Is he eating all his food," she asks me.
"No, but he's eating a bit more than usual."
She looks at Seb. "Have you seen her? She's got worry written all over her."
"I said..." he sighs. "I said I'm trying, Nannie."
"Do you not have anything to say about this?" Nannie demands of our mother.
"Nannie, he's really trying," I say. "Really."
She kisses her teeth.
Predictably, our mother keeps to her room after that.

The award of a "protected geographical indication" to Melton Mowbray pork pies is not wonderful news (In praise of the humble pork pie, G2, September 19). Pork Farm Bowyers are the biggest producers of such pies; most are made at Trowbridge in Wiltshire. PGI status will almost certainly lead to the loss of 500 jobs there. But this does not mean a return to artisan production in a small town in Leicestershire. PGI status means only that at least one stage of production has to be in the designated area, which can be fairly wide. Pork Farm Bowyers will still use the same mass production method, but at a factory in Nottingham, 25 miles from Melton Mowbray. So there is no gain for consumers, and 500 workers will have needlessly lost their jobs.

Romanians continue protest against gold mine
* Parliament has final say on gold mine project
* Protesters say will be environmental disaster
BUCHAREST, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Roughly 1,000 people gathered in Romania's capital late on Tuesday for a third day of protests against plans to start an open-cast gold mine in the small Carpathian town of Rosia Montana.
The catalyst for the protests, which started on Sunday when thousands of people took to the streets in cities across Romania, was a move by the leftist government last week to approve a draft bill allowing the project to go ahead.
The bill, which needs parliament's approval to take effect, allows Canada's Gabriel Resources Ltd to mine 314 tonnes of gold and 1,500 tonnes of silver through its local arm, Rosia Montana Gold Corporation (RMGC) in which the Romanian state also holds a minority stake.
The bill also gives the mine "special national interest" status, which will make it easier for RMGC to expropriate the few locals who oppose the project and who own land needed for the mine, a move critics have said is unconstitutional.
On Tuesday, protesters blocked the Calea Victoriei (Victory Avenue) in downtown Bucharest, banging plastic bottles on the pavement and setting up tents. Riot police surrounded them. The protests, which have been promoted through social media, have so far been largely peaceful.
"Fundamental laws are being broken for a foreign corporation to start operation," said Vladimir Bortun, a 27-year-old independent publicist and translator who has attended all the protests. "We have very few means of expression left."
Bortun said protesters planned on writing their parliamentarians asking them to reject the bill. Continued...

(Now, enjoy your hell!)" - Kamen Rider Eternal "Crime is common; logic is rare." - Sherlock Holmes "Your eyes are your worst enemy; don't trust them." - Obi-Wan Kenobi Well, what can I say? I started learning to write when I was in Third Grade, when my English teacher gave me a copy of the original Star Wars Trilogy to show me how the Hero's Journey worked. I picked up on it and saw the similarities in Greek Myth, and from then on, I was hooked on writing. Fast forward to Eighth grade, where I tried to learn how to draw but was derailed by the derisive comments of bullets and dissenters. I gave up art and focused primarily on writing, where I got the opportunity to play God with my naysayers as ants in my ink pen magnifying glass. It was here that a teacher found my knack for literature and encouraged me to keep it up. When I was seventeen, I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with my writing until I read the YA novel "Eragon"; I wished I had a writer's background as Christopher Paolini. I sought to make my own literature legacy and got to work on developing my writing style. It took me some years and confidence building, but I'm here on Protagonize with one novel done and self-published on Amazon, and in the works of my second as I write this. So welcome to my profile and hello to you all.

A/N: It's been a while. This story takes place a few weeks after the finale. Spoilers included, of course. And reviews are welcome like sunshine, so keep 'em coming. I know this intro is a bit short, but longer chapters are currently in the making, don't worry. I also want you to know that this is not the first fanfic I've written or 'published'. It's just been over a year since I last put so much effort into something.

Days of Rain: Intro
In Princeton, autumn generally followed the heat of the summer like everywhere else. The days began to seem shorter, the nights longer and colder. It rained a lot, which meant also more flu-ridden patients for most of the doctors, but that was also the case in a supposedly much warmer season. It was nothing out of the ordinary.
But this autumn was different.
Small water droplets ran steadily down the glassy window, obscuring the already blurred landscape on the outside. The trees were still green, hadn't yet started to change their colors, but the sky was shaded gray, while dark, cotton candy-like clouds loomed ominously over the small city.
Inside his apartment, a man was shivering under the covers of his queen-sized bed. It couldn't have been after two in the morning, but he kept staring at the ceiling, not even attempting to go back to sleep after waking up for the third time that night.
He felt cold, and no amount of covers and comforters would be able to keep him warm.
With a sigh, he rolled over and reached for his phone on the nightstand. He grasped the small device tightly, his fingers hitting speed dial number 3 before he had a chance to stop himself. Maybe she'd answer? It seemed like an eternity since he had last heard her voice.
But only the hollow dial tone sounded when he pressed the phone against his ear.
Of course there's no answer.
The voice in his head reminded him of something, and soon he was pushing other buttons on his mobile phone. There was a moment of utter silence until a beeping announced the arrival of a new text message.
"This mobile phone has been temporarily disconnected by the owner. Please do not respond to this automatically generated SMS. Leave your number to get in touch."
Dabbing at his suddenly wet eyes with his pajamas' sleeve, the man dropped the phone. It landed unceremoniously on the polished floor.
"Damn you, House."
The man gave up sleep for the rest of the night and padded to the tiny living room instead, not even feeling the stinging cold of the tiles on his bare feet.

Jake Plummer said in a radio interview that he wished Tim Tebow would curb his references about Jesus Christ.
Ok, just take religion out of it. Or better yet, pretend Plummer is saying this about your personal religious beliefs. What gives Plummer the right to tell Tebow to knock it off? Plummer gave up playing so he could sit in his van down by the river and fish while sporting an awful mustache.
Plummer's opinion means zilch to me.
Here's how Tebow responded on ESPN's First Take, via USA Today.
"If you're married, and you have a wife, and you really love your wife, is it good enough to only say to your wife 'I love her' the day you get married? Or should you tell her every single day when you wake up and every opportunity? And that's how I feel about my relationship with Jesus Christ is that it is the most important thing in my life. So any time I get an opportunity to tell him that I love him or given an opportunity to shout him out on national TV, I'm gonna take that opportunity.
And so I look at it as a relationship that I have with him that I want to give him the honor and glory anytime I have the opportunity. And then right after I give him the honor and glory, I always try to give my teammates the honor and glory. And that's how it works because Christ comes first in my life, and then my family, and then my teammates. I respect Jake's opinion, and I really appreciate his compliment of calling me a winner. But I feel like anytime I get the opportunity to give the Lord some praise, he is due for it."
I love Tebow's analogy. Anyone who is married knows he is spot on here. And if you are serious about your faith like Tebow is, you have the right to free speech and to express yourself.
So Jake Plummer, go back to drinking beer at 11 a.m. in your van down by the river.

tfarms had een nieuw logo ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit38 ontwerpen ingezonden door11 freelance designers.
TugBoat Farms
I'm the CEO of a new company making clothes for children - and sharing profits with non profits.
Parents who are conscience about what their children are wearing and the environment .
The name of the company says it all - TugBoat Farms! I would like to see the logo be exactly that - I see a tugboat pulling a farm of different animals ( I clearly see one of the animals being a brown bear). I would like to see samples in bright colors of India and something in all earth tones. The overall feel should be more realistic, and not cartoony - no cartoon characters please.
Let's start here and see what happens.
Good luck!

Buy to let
Buy-to-let is a British phrase referring to the purchase of a property specifically to let out, that is to rent it out. A buy to let mortgage is a mortgage specifically designed for this purpose.
Prior to the 1980s, the number of private individuals who became landlords was very small. Buying property to rent was seen as the preserve of professional landlords and persons who were sufficiently wealthy to pay cash or having sizable deposits enabling them to obtain commercial style mortgages. The modern style 'Buy-to-Let' mortgage, wasn't available and the possibility of purchasing property as a means of funding a retirement income did not occur to most people. The infrastructure of loans, advice and information was not available.
The critical change came with the Housing Act of 1988 when the Assured shorthold tenancy came into being. This gave potential landlords and lenders the confidence that tenants would only reside in the property for a fixed period.
Since the mid- to late 1990s, Buy-to-Let has grown strongly. According to the Council of Mortgage Lenders, lenders advanced more than 1.7 million Buy-to-Let loans between 1999 and 2015. Over the past 12 years the private rented doubled in size. Buy-to-let mortgage balances outstanding recently grew to more than £200 billion – equivalent to the gross domestic product of Hong Kong.[1]
Benefits and risk[edit]
As for all property rental, the benefits for a buy-to-let landlord can include a stable income from rental receipts, as well as an accumulation of wealth if house prices go up over time. Rising house prices in the UK have made buy-to-let a popular way to invest.[2] The main risk involves leveraged speculation where the landlord takes a loan to buy the property, with the expectation that the house can be sold later for a higher price, or that rental income will meet or exceed the cost of the loan. In the best outcome for the landlord, she or he will have benefited from the use of the lending banks money indicating that she or he has allocated the capital more efficiently than professional investors could have done. If the landlord cannot meet the conditions of their mortgage repayments then the bank will seek to take possession of the property and sell it to gain the loaned money. If prices have fallen, leveraging could leave the landlord in negative equity.
A further risk is a substantial change in Government policy, as occurred in 2015 (see section below).
Tenant protection[edit]
The government has taken steps to protect tenants over recent years, including compulsory third party deposit protection schemes and compulsory licensing of homes in multiple occupation (HMOs).
Recent figures from the National Landlords Association (NLA) suggest that, as of September 2014, 27% of landlords who let out a single property and 19% of landlords who let out between two and four properties either break even or run at a loss.[3]
On average, gross buy-to-let yields (the annual return on investment prior to the deduction of running costs) stood at 5.1% as of December 2014. This represented a decrease of 0.2 pp from average yields in December 2013.[4]
Gross rental yields vary across the country with the highest yields delivered in Scotland at 6.1% and cities in the north of England, whilst yields in London stand at 4.1%.
Gross rental yields in the world's premier cities range between 1.6% (in Taipei) and 11.7% (in Moldova's Chisinau). Gross rental yields on residential property have trended down globally for several years, and have generally continued to fall since the housing crisis.[citation needed]
Buy-to-let mortgages[edit]
Buy-to-let mortgage is a mortgage arrangement in which an investor borrows money to purchase property in the private rented sector in order to let it out to tenants. Buy-to-let mortgages have been on offer in the UK since 1996.[5]
Lenders calculate how much they are willing to lend using a different formula than for an owner-occupied property. They tend to look at the expected monthly rental income to determine the maximum loan available. Depending on the lender, borrowers might also be allowed to include their own personal income in the calculation of the maximum amount that they can borrow. First-time landlords might also be required to have a separate annual income of at least £25,000. For an owner-occupied property, the calculation is typically a multiple of the owner's annual income.
The most common type of buy-to-let mortgage is an interest only option. The interest rate on the mortgage can be fixed or variable. Fixed rates means that the payments would not fluctuate, and variable rates means that the payments may go up or down in line with the Bank of England base rate. The interest rates and fees that are offered on BTL mortgages are, on average, slightly higher than those for an owner-occupied mortgage. This is due to the perception amongst banks and other lending institutions that BTL mortgages represent a greater risk than residential owner-occupier mortgages.[6]
Many people may not be able to qualify for a buy to let mortgage. Criteria for acceptance can include deposit amounts, credit rating, and more. There are however, other alternatives, including buying options and more. [7]
In the late 1990s and during the early part of the 21st century, this type of investment became popular and helped drive house prices dramatically upwards.[8]
Buy-to-let and negative publicity[edit]
Buy-to-let has experienced much poor press over the past few years, with many commentators believing that it has contributed to rampant house price inflation. Oxford Economics stated in August 2007 that buy-to-let is "undoubtedly contributing to the overvaluation of housing".[8]
One of the difficulties in determining how buy-to-let has contributed to the house price inflation is that there have been concurrent changes in property market, such as population increase, and substantial foreign direct investment in property. See Thatcher Blair consensus consequences on rents for further information.
Change in Government policy[edit]
Prior to 2015, Government policy in respect of Buy-to-Let had been relatively benign, but this changed in the Budgets and Autumn Statement of 2015.[9] Four major steps were taken to reduce the attractiveness of the investment.
1. Restriction of tax relief on mortgage finance costs to basic rate tax only.
2. Removal of 10% 'wear and tear' allowance.
3. Introduction of additional 3% Stamp duty surcharge.
4. Accelerated payment schedule for Capital Gains Tax due.
(The changes around tax relief on mortgage finance costs referred to above mean landlords can deduct only the equivalent of basic rate relief on their tax return, which can cause their personal taxation to be pushed into a higher income tax band even if they are not receiving sufficient income to justify it under other circumstances.[10])
Enhanced tax collection measures[edit]
The government has also taken steps to improve tax collection from BTL landlords over recent years, measures include:
Giving HMRC access to third party deposit protection schemes (see above).
Mandatory reporting of landlord details by estate agents to HMRC.
Giving HMRC access to licence details of homes in multiple occupation (see above).
Dedicated HMRC tax taskforces deployed to hunt down tax-evading landlords.
In the UK, particularly in London, there is a phenomenon known as 'buy-to-leave' where investors buy properties and leave them empty in order to benefit from rising house prices without the hassle of having to deal with tenants.[11] Nationally 'buy-to-leave' accounts for a small percentage of vacant properties according to the charity Empty Homes,[12] but Kensington and Chelsea council estimated in 2015 that as many as one in four houses in certain parts of their neighbourhood are affected, driving up prices while restricting the number of households that actually live there.[13] Overall long-term empty houses account for 2% of properties in Kensington and Chelsea.[14] In north London, Camden council managed to reduce the number of empty homes by charging a surcharge of 50% on council tax on homes left empty for more than two years.[14]
Some politicians have blamed overseas investors for buying homes and leaving them empty, but research has found that only 2% of overseas buyers of London new-build property would use the property as a second home, with 65% instead intending to rent them out, and 33% buying them as homes for children attending university in London.[15]
As of 2016 prime central London house prices began falling [16] reducing the attractiveness of "buy to leave".

Titleist Means Business
By Kickntrue on 3/3/09
Titleist changed their ProV1 and ProV1x balls for 2009, in large part because of a Callaway lawsuit. Now they're protecting THEIR new IP.
Acushnet filed a patent infringement lawsuit today against Callaway Golf in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. In its complaint, Acushnet asserts that Callaway's Tour i and Tour ix golf balls infringe nine United States patents from Acushnet's extensive golf ball patent portfolio covering multi-piece, solid core technology.After filing the lawsuit a member of Titleist's staff challenged a memeber of Callaway's staff to a contest, to see whose is bigger. While the results of that were private, rumor has it Titleist can indeed piss further.
