2013 vintage is available for $19.99
Sauvignon Blanc from Chile
Winemaker's Notes
Pale greenish yellow coloring. Fresh and mineral aromas with straw notes. Concentrated with gooseberries aromas. Fresh flavors with firm acidity, savvy, flinty, honeysuckle. Long persistence.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "Grown in the warmer, eastern reaches of Alto Casablanca, this benefits from the cool season in 2010: It's a creamy, ample sauvignon with mineral aromas that cut that ripeness, keeping the wine refreshing and tense. The acidity is firm, balancing the generous white fruit flavors. "
The Wine Advocate - "The 2007 Terrunyo Sauvignon Blanc Block 27 is medium straw-colored with a superb bouquet of freshly cut hay, grapefruit, lemon-lime, and gooseberry. This is followed by a lush, ripe, focused Sauvignon with layers of flavor, superb balance, and a pure, fruit-filled finish. It should drink well for another 1-2 years and offers sensational value. "
Wine Spectator - "Lean and bracing at first, with flint and lime notes, this slowly opens to show more gooseberry, chive flower and sea salt flavors that ripple through the lengthy, mouthwatering finish. Drink now."
Wine Enthusiast - "Terrunyo is arguably Chile's best SB. This vintage gets going with a touch of green bean but also plenty of passion fruit and pink grapefruit. The palate is ripe, crystal-clear and tangy, and the passion fruit and citrus flavors really drive it home. Expect a racy wine with dynamic pineapple and grapefruit as its cornerstones. "
International Wine Cellar - "Pale straw. Powerfully scented bouquet of lime, pungent herbs, dried flowers and minerals. Zesty and pure, offering vibrant lime, tarragon, mint and honeysuckle flavors and a strong undercurrent of smoky minerals. Richer pear and melon qualities arrive on the finish, which is impressively vibrant and long."

About ChileView a map of Chile wineries (CHEE-lay)Long and thin, Chile has a lot of land north to south. The wine region here is a series of districts based near Santiago. The vineyards are protected by the Pacific on the west and the Andes mountains on the east. This could help explain why the climate changes more from east to west than north to south – also why the country has remained phylloxera free. Quite a few wineries in Chile were founded by large French wine companies. Seeing the potential of the country, vineyards were bought and planted by these French folks and the results tell of a smart investment. Some of these wineries include: Los Vascos, Casa Lapostolle and Cousino Macul. And while the inspiration may have been French, but the wines here are quite Chilean.

Notable FactsThe main regions of Chile include Maipo (pronounced MY-poh), known for reds like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere; Casablanca Valley, a region producing delicious Sauvignon Blanc, as well as other whites & some reds; Colchaugua, an inland district creating amazing red wines from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly in the Apalta sub-region; and Rapel Valley, settled right under Maipo and producing the same red varietals. A couple of smaller regions to watch include Limari and Elqui, two valleys further north, producing some delicious cool-climate Chardonnay and Bio Bio, an area further south, which is also focused on cool-climate varieties. Chilean wines are growing in exports and more consumers are enjoying the delicious values coming from the country. Red wines of the region, though they cannot be generalized, make the whole gamut of wine quality – quaffable to collectible. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Carmenere are the main players, though Syrah is also making a splash. Some of the best reds are blends of the above varieties. As for whites, Sauvignon Blanc is typically crisp, herbal and racy, while Chardonnay is richer in style with full-bodied texture and tropical fruit flavors.

Gay Partner of 9/11 Victim Urges California to Support Freedom to Marry
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(LOS ANGELES, Monday, February 11, 2002) — A gay California man whose partner died in the September 11 terrorist attacks says the plight he now faces vividly shows why his home state must allow lesbian and gay couples to marry.
"Jeff and I got as close to marriage as we could with our domestic partnership," says Keith Bradkowski, whose partner of 11 years, Jeff Collman, was a flight attendant killed in the attacks. "But it wasn't protection enough, and now I am legally vulnerable in ways I never imagined."
Lambda Legal represents the Novato, California, resident as he struggles for fair treatment from government and private compensation programs. On Monday, February 11, Bradkowski and Lambda Senior Attorney Jennifer Pizer joined other surviving family members for a briefing about the Federal Fund with Special Master Kenneth R. Feinberg in Sacramento.
Bradkowski will speak in Los Angeles on the evening of Tuesday, February 12 at "Celebration of Commitment" rally on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica.
The rally is part of the fifth annual National Freedom to Marry Day, which is prompting community gatherings and public rallies across the country.
In December, Feinberg released regulations for the Federal Fund that leave the door open to compensation for surviving lesbian and gay partners, although they did not explicitly acknowledge gay partners in the same way as married spouses. This left survivors like Bradkowski confused and worried about whether he will receive appropriate recognition.
"In times of crisis, we see how important legal protections are for families," said Pizer before the meeting with Feinberg. "The plight of Keith and other surviving gay partners shows how desperately our families need the secure safety net of the civil marriage laws."
The Santa Monica rally kicks off a statewide 90-day campaign by Marriage Equality California, a community activist group, to secure 2,500 endorsements in support of equal marriage rights for same-sex couples. At the event, Lambda Legal and Marriage Equality California will release "Roadmap To Equality," an educational guide for freedom-to-marry activists in California.
Lambda Legal is assisting numerous lesbian and gay partners of September 11 victims and urges anyone needing help to contact a Lambda office.

West Seattle clergy urge passage of Ref. 71
Dear Editor,
As religious leaders of West Seattle, we have come together to speak with one voice for all families. Religious leaders before us have spoken to end slavery, and to ensure equal rights to all persons regardless of gender, nationality, religion, and race.
Today, we feel compelled to speak out in support of Washington's domestic partnership law, which provides essential protections to families throughout the state.
As people of faith, we oppose any effort to take away the rights and protections provided to families through our state's domestic partnership law. As providers of pastoral care to families, we know that gay and lesbian couples form loving, lasting, committed relationships, raise children and grow old together.
These couples and their children have the same needs and deserve the same rights as their heterosexual peers.
We also know that the domestic partnership law provides important protections to non-gay couples where one partner is at least 62 years of age.
As faith leaders, we care about all families. We have seen first-hand the burdens on a family facing death or illness without important legal and financial protections, from access to healthcare, to the right to visit a partner in the hospital, to the right to make medical decisions for one's own children.
We have felt the worry that exists when a parent who is a firefighter or police officer goes off to work each morning knowing that if something happens to her there won't be support for her family.
We urge all to vote YES on Ref. 71, as a principled expression of our deeply held religious convictions. We urge our congregants to stand in support of all of Washington's families.
In faith,
Rev. Kendall Baker, Retired, United Church of Christ
Rev. Peg Boyle Morgan, Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation
Rev. Dr. Joanne Carlson Brown, Tibbetts Methodist Church
Rev. Diane Darling, Alki Congregational United Church of Christ
Rev. Ann J. Eidson, Admiral Congregational Church

IronPigs Capture "Promotion of the Year" Award
Urinal video games, funeral giveaway, foam finger lead to award
By Lehigh Valley IronPigs | September 17, 2013 5:27 AM ET
The IronPigs captured Ballpark Digest's "Promotion of the Year" award for a wide variety of successful concepts and ideas this season, including the North American debut of urinal video games within all men's restrooms at Coca-Cola Park, a funeral giveaway package valued at nearly $10,000 for the winner and a foam finger giveaway on Prostate Cancer Awareness night. Ballpark Digest is the leading guide to baseball and ballparks on the Internet.
"As we reviewed submissions for best promotions in professional baseball, it was clear off that the bat that the IronPigs front office had a great season with a strong slate of promotions," said Kevin Reichard, publisher of Ballpark Digest. "Rather than choosing between the three promotions submitted for awards, we decided to collectively cite all three."
Added IronPigs General Manager, Kurt Landes: "We knew the Urinal Games would make a huge splash but we are equally thrilled that the other promotions received recognition as well. It's wonderful to be recognized for the creativity of our front office staff and all of their hard work and efforts. We are grateful to Ballpark Digest for bestowing this honor on our club and we look forward to raising the bar in 2014."
Ballpark Digest bestowed the honor on the IronPigs based on the following promotions:
- The debut of North America's first-ever urinal gaming system at Coca-Cola Park. The brand new revolutionary "Urinal Gaming System" allows fans to interact with the world's only truly hands-free urinal game controller. The p-controlled video game systems are featured within all men's restrooms at Coca-Cola Park. Upon completion (an average of over 55 seconds according to published research) users receive their score and a code to enter. They can then view their position on the leader board or check the website to see how they stack up with the rest of that night's competition. High scores will be displayed in real-time across various videoboard displays within Coca-Cola Park.
- A funeral giveaway valued at nearly $10,000, the most expensive giveaway in IronPigs history. Steve Paul, a 64-year-old from nearby Freemansburg, Pa., was chosen as the winner of the free funeral package. Paul submitted a 200-word essay detailing his recent diagnosis with ALS -- along with the emotional and financial toll it has taken on him and his family -- and was chosen from more than 50 submissions to take home the grand prize funeral package. Paul was honored on-field during the game game and after his heartwarming essay was read aloud he received a lengthy standing ovation from the sell-out crowd at Coca-Cola Park.
- A foam finger giveaway on Prostate Cancer Awareness Night. In an effort to raise both funds and awareness for the disease, IronPigs players and coaches also wore commemorative sky blue caps during Tuesday's game with proceeds from an in-game raffle benefitting The Prostate Cancer Awareness Fund of the Lehigh Valley.
These wildly successful promotions have also led to recognition in numerous national publications including The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Sports Illustrated.
The IronPigs have developed and maintained the strongest promotional schedule and ballpark experience in Minor League Baseball by:
- Assuring fans of a promotion, giveaway, fireworks show or entertainment act at every home game.
- Continually developing new in-game entertainment experiences and varying in-between inning skits to make sure they differ with each and every game.
- Complimenting theme nights with a fully integrated and expansive ballpark experience inclusive of scoreboard graphic implementation, menu choices, staff participation, team jerseys, mascot apparel and more.
Coca-Cola Park itself was named Ballpark Digest's "Ballpark of the Year" during the IronPigs' debut season in 2008 and has since drawn rave reviews for its unique intimacy, family-friendly atmosphere and architectural design.
Each year Ballpark Digest honors noteworthy accomplishments in the baseball world, whether it be Major League Baseball, Minor League Baseball, independent baseball, summer-collegiate baseball or college baseball. Readers are asked to submit nominations for awards in specific categories; Ballpark Digest editors then go though the submissions (numbering some 300 pages of documentation last year). The awards cover both individual accomplishments as well as team accomplishments. This is the fourth season for the Ballpark Digest Awards. A complete listing of Ballpark Digest Awards can be found at www.ballparkdigest.com/awards.
The 2013 IronPigs baseball season is presented by Capital BlueCross.

An Invitation to Smile
Vila Madalena is a well-known neighborhood in São Paulo, Brasil, famous for its artist studios, galleries, bars, restaurants, and cultural centers. A true panoply of humanity walks its buzzing streets every day. PSFK associate Mandalah, a behavioral trends and innovation boutique headquartered in Vila Madalena, wanted to contribute to this community spirit, and decided to turn its front gate into a canvas of words and phrases to inspire passers-by.
These range from quotes from Mahatma Gandhi ("Be the change you want to see in the world."), to words in Sanskrit (like sat nam, meaning "in search of true identity", or shanti, meaning "peace"), to friendly reminders (like "drink water" and "look at the birds"), and verbal totems (like "respect" and "happiness").
The messages seek to encourage us all to look again and see ourselves as people and citizens, triggering an exercise in self-reflection with the potential to expand the possibilities before us, if not change our course altogether. At the very least, the street looks prettier and more cheerful now, thanks to the work of the Estudio Colletivo designers.

I have been selected for this spelling bee. Can I have some tips? Thanks!
Hey my older brother has been in the spelling bee 3 times and has made it to county before. He says don't freak out when you get on stage and if you do get a word wrong don't be embarrassed because alot of other people get the words wrong. Make sure you study with your parents or friends and be confident in yourself. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on being part of a spelling bee!
I've coached many spelling teams and pronounced at our county bee for years.
Lauren is absolutely right. Keep calm, take your time, and don't freak if you get a word wrong.
Before the bee, study, study, study. One winning student had his mom quiz him while he ate breakfast. Most students find it helpful to write the words they get wrong in practice sessions. That uses several of your senses and gives you the opportunity to say the word, "feel" the word, see the word, and hear the letters.
Good luck!

Hillary Clinton has promised to fight on all the way to the convention, but her campaign owes millions in unpaid bills and isn't returning phone calls and e-mails to some small businesses in past battlegrounds. Clinton's strategic payment of debts has helped her stay in the race, but according to The Politico, it is starting to earn her a bad reputation among vendors.
The Politico:
Show Tyme Exhibits, another Youngstown [Ohio] event production company, has produced political events for years and had never had problems getting paid before Clinton, according to owner Jim Phillips.
He said he's still waiting for a payment for setting up the sound system and stage for Clinton's February tour of a General Motors plant in Lordstown, Ohio.
"It was only $607, but I'm a small guy; I could use that," said Phillips, adding, "Everyone I can tell, I do tell about it. You tell somebody something bad about somebody, they tell 10 other people."
Both Phillips and the [event production company] Forty Two employee said they voted for Clinton in Ohio's March 4 primary, which she won handily, but regret their votes and are reluctant to work for her campaign again.

I'm down in South Florida and I crossed a 170 degree Camaro T-stat and installed it in mine.
I run well below 200 in the summer heat and hold at about 178 on the few cold days as well. Trans temps are always really cool now as well.
If you go to the 170f t-stat you have to disable some codes in the ecm or the cel will come on when it gets cold out.

New Ride Coming To Kemah Boardwalk
The Iron Eagle is coming to the Kemah Boardwalk.
It's a zip line, of sorts.
"It's got all the thrill of a traditional zip line, but at the same time has a family appeal because of the seating on the ride," Mark Kane, regional manager of Landry's Theme Parks told KTRH. "It's a side by side seat, and rather than the traditional harness that is strapped through your crotch and over your shoulder, you're seating two people side by side."
It will load in the Plaza and pull you up a 400-foot-long line that rises to a height of 100 feet with a panoramic view of Galveston Bay to entertain you during the ride. At the top you'll have a moment to take in the sights and then begin your exhilarating descent back to the point where the ride began.
The grand opening of the Iron Eagle is Saturday, September 14.

Your cart is currently empty!
For an alternative to a traditional wedding guest book we love this idea.
Ask your guests to write their message on the wooden hearts and drop them in the top of the frame. As more and more people leave their kind messages the frame will fill up. This frame filled with your guests notes will make a lovely reminder in years to come, display it in your home.
The frame is white and can be easily leaned up against a wall. There is a slot in the top for the hearts to be dropped into.
The frame comes with a card explaining to guests what to do. It reads; Dear family and friends, please help keep this memory by signing a heart and popping it into the frame. Thank you so much for sharing part of this special day.
The frame measures 30 x 42cm and comes with 70 hearts.

Please don't let their pricing fool you, the cakes were just delicious and their designs blew us both away. Our groom's cake was a stage (he's an actor) and when we saw it we were astonished...the bakers had rigged up bulbs so that the whole thing LIT UP! We had never discussed that, but they went above and beyond. Both were delicious and the bakery promised to make us a FREE cake on our anniversary too. Amazing place!"

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger missed part of the second quarter Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns with a left foot/lower leg injury, but he returned to the game to start the second half, albeit limping and with his ankle taped.
NFL Network's Alex Flanagan reported from Heinz Field that X-rays on Roethlisberger were negative, and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin couldn't confirm if the quarterback injured his high ankle or lower leg.
Roethlisberger came straight off the field in the second quarter after being sacked by Cleveland's Brian Schaefering and Scott Paxson. Roethlisberger's left leg appeared to be pinned underneath Paxson as the quarterback fell to the ground.
Though he limped off with assistance, Roethlisberger was in obvious discomfort and unable to put much pressure on the injured leg. Charlie Batch replaced Roethlisberger as Pittsburgh's quarterback.
Roethlisberger has dealt with several injuries this season, including a sprained left foot and a fractured right thumb, but he hasn't missed a start.
The Steelers said defensive end Ziggy Hood was questionable to return with a groin injury, but NFL.com senior writer Steve Wyche reported that the lineman was on the sideline with his shoulder pads off in the second half. The Steelers also said center Maurkice Pouncey was questionable to return with an ankle injury.
Meanwhile, the Browns lost tight end Ben Watson and fullback Owen Marecic to head injuries, and the team said wide receiver/kick returner Josh Cribbs was questionable to return with a groin injury. Defensive back Eric Hagg also was questionable with an eye injury.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

TerraCorps (Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust) Massachusetts, United States
May 18, 2017Full time
The 2017 TerraCorps program will support thirty-six full-time AmeriCorps members, serving in one of four positions: Land Stewardship Coordinator (LSC), Regional Conservation Coordinator (RCC), Community Engagement Coordinator (CEC), and Youth Education Coordinator (YEC). The positions differ in their focus on community engagement and organization, land access, conservation and stewardship, and youth or adult education. All members will carry out capacity building projects; educate or train individuals; recruit, train, manage, and support community volunteers engaged in land-based activities; and identify new individuals and groups to participate in land access and conservation opportunities. The specific responsibilities and goals of members differ by position as well as host site organization. Land Stewardship Coordinators build the long-term capacity of their host sites by creating networks of volunteers to support hands-on stewardship of community lands. They organize, train, and collaborate with municipal boards, neighborhood and civic associations, community members, youth groups, and schools to care for, improve access to, and support the long-term resiliency and sustainable use of community lands. Community Engagement Coordinators build the long-term capacity of their host sites by developing culturally inclusive systems, programming, partnerships, and events. By collaborating with community groups, CECs demonstrate how the sustainable use and conservation of land can help address community needs related to education, public health, economic development, neighborhood revitalization, homelessness, poverty, hunger, and cultural decline. Regional Conservation Coordinators build the long-term capacity of their host sites by assessing community needs related to land conservation and land access and then organizing collaborative community projects to help meet these needs. They convene and coordinate community organizations to build regional networks, and organize collaborative cross-sector working groups to initiate new projects around community needs. Youth Education Coordinators build the long-term capacity of their host site by engaging youth in service learning, experiential education, and inquiry-based science and nature learning projects. They collaborate with schools, libraries, and youth groups on projects that connect young people to the natural world, improve science literacy, and encourage healthy lifestyles. These are full-time AmeriCorps positions requiring a minimum of 1,700 hours of service over 11 months. The 2017-18 TerraCorps program will run from August 28, 2017 – July 27, 2018. Members receive a living allowance ($12,530), education award ($5,815) as well as additional AmeriCorps benefits. Nineteen organizations, located across the state, will host TerraCorps members this year: Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust, Backyard Growers, Buzzards Bay Coalition and Wareham Land Trust, GreenRoots, Groundwork Lawrence, Groundwork Somerville, Groundwork Southcoast, Grow Food Northampton, Growing Places, Healthy Chelsea, Hilltown Land Trust, Just Roots, Kestrel Land Trust, Mill City Grows, North County Land Trust, South Eastern Massachusetts Pine Barrens Alliance, Sudbury Valley Trustees, and Wildlands Trust. Member applications, position descriptions, and information about TerraCorps and the organizations hosting members for the 2017-2018 program can be found on our website ( terracorps.org ). Interested individuals should send a complete application (cover letter, resume, and application form) to firstname.lastname@example.com . Interviews begin mid-April and we hope to fill all positions by the end of June. Applications will be accepted until all positions are filled. AmeriCorps programs provide equal service opportunities. TerraCorps will recruit and select persons in all positions to ensure a diverse and inclusive climate without regard to class, race, religion, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, disability, veteran status, color, political affiliation, creed, national origin, marital status, or any other status as protected by federal, state, and local laws. We encourage applications from individuals with disabilities and will provide reasonable accommodations for interviews and service upon request. TerraCorps is an AmeriCorps grant program contingent on federal funding through the Corporation of National and Community Service.

can i use a r410a acoil with a 13 seer r22 condenser.
I have a 3 ton condenser r22 with a r410a a coil by Nordyne model # c7bam03648c-c. The piston in the A coil is .067 The condenser is suppose to be .073. so i picked one up but it doesnt fit. The one in the a coil is way smaller. Can i use the .067 thats in the coil now. Thanks for any help in advance
Won't cool right. Guess you didn't get the piston from a Nordyne distributor. that is where you'll need to get it from, or a friendly Nordyne dealer.
You can always spend just a little more and by an R-22 txv which replaces the piston altogether.
Txv is definitely the way to go :thumbup:

...on the benefits of frequent flow experiences...
Forging a deep, intense relationship, in which two meld into one, can be a difficult, emotionally draining process. But the end result is so worth it. Especially when that bond is between musician and instrument. ... identification with their instrument was measured by their answer to this question: When I perform, I feel (1) that it's really me as a person in front of the audience, rather than my instrument; (2) protected, or hiding behind, my instrument or voice; (3) that my instrument or voice is an obstacle to overcome between me and the audience; or (4) so united with my instrument/voice that there is no difference between us.More at Pacific Standard.

the best route to fulfilment is the path of more resistance
Jack White, the former frontman of the White Stripes and an influential figure among fellow musicians, likes to make things difficult for himself. He uses cheap guitars that won't stay in shape or in tune. When performing, he positions his instruments in a way that is deliberately inconvenient, so that switching from guitar to organ mid-song involves a mad dash across the stage. Why? Because he's on the run from what he describes as a disease that preys on every artist: "ease of use". When making music gets too easy, says White, it becomes harder to make it sing.More at Intelligent Life.

Opening The Old Testament
The Goal of Good Friday: Reflections on Isaiah 52:13-53:12
Lectionary Reflections
Isaiah 52:13-53:12
March 29, 2013
I am frankly embarrassed to say how many grotesque Good Friday services I have participated in and, on occasion, led. There was the one where each congregant was invited to the front of the sanctuary, handed a nail and a hammer, and told to drive that nail into an old wooden cross that lay in easy reach—thereby, I assume, experiencing the guilt of one who had a hand in Jesus' murder.
And then there was the one where each member of the congregation was given a long nail as they entered the church which they were to hold and contemplate during the reading of the liturgy, having been asked to reflect on the various ways that they, individually, had helped to nail their Lord to the cross. Such reflection was accompanied by that Good Friday hymn, "Ah, Holy Jesus," which ends, I am sure you remember, "I crucified thee."
For those of you who sat through Mel Gibson's film, The Passion of the Christ, much was made of the fact that in the scene when Jesus was shown in very graphic fashion being nailed to the cross, the hand that performed the action of nailing was Gibson's own. I trust you see a pattern here.
Many of the Good Friday services and depictions I know have focused on our guilt, my guilt and yours specifically, for Jesus' grisly crucifixion and death. If the servant suffered, then, by God, we had better suffer, too, because God knows we deserve some suffering and a boatload of guilt, complicit as we are in the death of the son. Am I alone in thinking that there is something theologically amiss in all this? Jesus suffers and dies on a cross, the quintessential method of Roman torture and murder, and in response I too must suffer and assume for myself some degree at least of responsibility for his agony.
And I must assume this guilt because God demands it of me. If I do not take on this guilt, then Jesus dies alone, and I wash my hands of the whole thing. His death, in this way of seeing things, requires me to atone for my responsibility by suffering and wailing and self-hatred. In that way, so it goes, God can then forgive me for my murder of God's child, a child God has sent to die apparently in the first place, and order is then restored in a universe rent asunder by my killing of Jesus.
I do not presume to speak for you, but all of that sounds nothing less than insane to me, or if not insane in itself, then a way to make us insane when we think too hard about it! This kind of atonement, where God trades Jesus for my sin, and then I profess that I have helped to murder Jesus in order to have my sin forgiven by his death, makes my theological head spin. Is there no other way to fathom this event of Good Friday than that?
Perhaps Isaiah 52-53 can help. I readily admit that this fourth servant song of the exilic prophet of the mid-6th century B.C.E. has been determinative in developing precisely the warped theology I have described above. After all, here the servant of Isaiah was "marred in his appearance" (Is. 52:14), was "despised and rejected by others" (Is. 53:3), "was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities" (Is. 53:5), and "bore the sin of many" (Is. 53:12).
The early Christian community took a look at those words and found in them a purpose for the terrible events of what they later called Holy Week. The monstrous torture and death of their Lord had to have some meaning beyond the horror and the pain, and the meaning they found was that in his death their and our sins were somehow covered over. As they witnessed Jesus' agony on the cross, they were in fact witnessing God's ultimate forgiveness of them. As Jesus died, so their sin died with him, and God's rejection of him led directly to God's desire never to reject them again.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi and welcome to Just Answer!You are correct - the law limits the IRS - and sets the statute of limitation on collection which is generally ten years.To verify the assessment date - you need to contact the IRS. You should have an assessment letter - but if you are not able to locate it - the only way to verify - contacting the IRS.The simple way - is to call _1_800_829_1040_ - please be prepared to wait.
See the law section here - http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/650226 USC § 6502 - Collection after assessment(a) Length of periodWhere the assessment of any tax imposed by this title has been made within the period of limitation properly applicable thereto, such tax may be collected by levy or by a proceeding in court, but only if the levy is made or the proceeding begun—
(1)within 10 years after the assessment of the tax, or(2)if—(A)there is an installment agreement between the taxpayer and the Secretary, prior to the date which is 90 days after the expiration of any period for collection agreed upon in writing by the Secretary and the taxpayer at the time the installment agreement was entered into; or
(B)there is a release of levy under section 6343 after such 10-year period, prior to the expiration of any period for collection agreed upon in writing by the Secretary and the taxpayer before such release.If a timely proceeding in court for the collection of a tax is commenced, the period during which such tax may be collected by levy shall be extended and shall not expire until the liability for the tax (or a judgment against the taxpayer arising from such liability) is satisfied or becomes unenforceable.
if it is CLOSE to 10 years will this get them to step up amount collected each month?
The law allows to levy on social security benefits - but not more than 15%.
could they take my car thats my only property
Please be aware - if you're more comfortable talking with someone face-to-face - you may visit your local IRS office - appointment is necessary.Here are locations in your state - http://www.irs.gov/uac/Contact-My-Local-Office-in-Minnesota
thank you

Not Exactly A Kodak Moment
In its 111-year history, the once-mighty Eastman Kodak Co. has rarely known such turmoil. Since CEO Daniel A. Carp unveiled his risky new strategy of investing $3 billion in emerging digital technologies, dissident shareholders have been mighty worked up. They're arguing there must be a better way to mend the ailing icon -- and probably one that doesn't include Carp's plan to cut Kodak's dividend by 72%. Bert Denton, President of Providence Capital, who attracted shareholders representing nearly a third of Kodak stock to an Oct. 22 meeting, is pushing for radical cost cuts to quickly boost earnings. With the stock now trading at $25 -- the same level it traded at in the early 1980s -- corporate raider Carl Icahn has just received clearance to buy up to 7% of Kodak. Many figure he wants to break it up and sell off the pieces. "This company is in danger," warns Denton.
Carp has been working overtime to quell the revolt. He insists the company is already making strides. One sign of progress: On Nov. 12, Kodak announced agreements with Cingular Wireless and Nokia under which it will provide services that will help their customers store, share, and print the digital images they take with popular new camera cell phones.
Moreover, Carp contends that recent meetings he has held with roughly 35 investors to explain his vision for Kodak's digital future are turning the tide. He argues that the swift decline in traditional film markets leaves Kodak no choice but to slash the dividend and pour its resources into digital. The alternatives being bandied about, he says, "really aren't viable, practical options." Carp argues that many investors are now convinced the strategy is correct, though he concedes that questions remain over whether Kodak's management team can pull it off.
Little wonder: Kodak has struggled to transition to digital for close to a decade now. While it has had some success, many investors say it isn't enough, given the billions spent. Meanwhile, costs remain too high in film, given the rapid sales drop. "It's all about execution," says Joan Lappin, chairman and chief investment officer of Gramercy Capital, which hold Kodak shares. "This company has a clearly defined set of problems. If this group doesn't fix it, the board will find one that will."
For the moment, Carp may have bought himself some breathing room. The stock has bounced back from the low of $20.40 it hit after he unveiled his plan. Yet that recovery may have been fueled by news of Icahn's interest. Others, sensing opportunity, are also piling in. Legg Mason Funds, Kodak's largest shareholder, reported on Nov. 12 it upped its stake from 8.6% in June to 10%, or 28.7 million shares, at the end of October.
So far, Carp's critics have not yet coalesced around an alternative plan. Icahn isn't revealing his intentions, but the veteran raider and greenmailer isn't known for his patient investing. Other investors figure he's likely to use the approach at Kodak he took at RJR Nabisco Inc., where he got the conglomerate to split its tobacco and food groups -- and made $1 billion in the process. "In general, when he goes after something, he believes the breakup value is higher than what he's paying," observes Wilbur L. Ross Jr., chairman and CEO at W.L. Ross & Co., another investor in distressed companies.
Denton argues that Kodak can only ward off such raiders by taking aggressive actions "that give long-term shareholders reason to hang on." He wants to slash spending on executive perks and other operating expenses by $550 million a year, or 5%, and then use the savings to pay down debt. Denton says Carp rejected his cost-cutting plan as excessive.
For now, Carp isn't buying any of this. While conceding Kodak needs to cut costs further, he contends any breakup that tried to capitalize on the film business would only accelerate Kodak's decline. That's because many of the retailers, photo shops, and radiologists Kodak supplies would abandon it for suppliers better able to help manage the transition to digital. "You can't pick a strategy to target a selected set of investors," says a defiant Carp. "You turn yourself into a pretzel, and you kill your company." Carp's strategy may be correct. Trouble is, investors may run out of patience before he can prove it.

WASHINGTON, May 22 (Reuters) BP Plc shut down a quarter of its 400,000 barrels-per-day Prudhoe Bay oil field in Alaska after discovering a produced water spill on Monday, a company spokesman said.
BP workers shut down the 100,000 bpd Gathering Center 2 after finding produced water leaking from a 12-inch pipeline at the gathering center, said BP spokesman Ronnie Chappell.
Fewer than 20 barrels of produced water, which is separated from crude oil at the gathering center and then reinjected in the field, were spilled, he said.
''We expect the facility to be down a few days while repairs are made,'' said Chappell.
U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, who heads the investigations arm of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said the spill was a further sign that BP cost cutting was to blame for the poor state of infrastructure at Prudhoe Bay.
Stupak's subcommittee is probing a March 2006 oil spill at Prudhoe Bay, the biggest U.S. oil field. Internal corrosion in a pipeline that had been poorly maintained by BP was blamed for the spill, which dumped at least 200,000 gallons of crude oil onto the tundra.
A criminal investigation into the spill has been under way since last year. No charges have been laid.
Stupak has said that budget cuts at the London-based energy giant were to blame for past incidents, and said he will continue to investigate.
''While I have not seen all the facts on this most recent leak, it appears to be yet further evidence that BP's cost-cutting culture has put our nation's economy at risk,'' he said.
At a hearing last week, BP America Chief Executive Bob Malone conceded that ''there were extreme budget pressures at Prudhoe Bay,'' which affected maintenance work.
BP operates Prudhoe Bay on behalf of its partners ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil Corp.

I thought Andrew Wenger was going to be a central defender. So did Caleb Porter, apparently – the US U-23 coach played Wenger there during January's camp.
And we weren't alone; I'd say a plurality of people in the world of US/Canadian soccer figured Wenger projected as a surefire star in the middle of the defense. He has ideal tools for a young center back – he's skilled, physical, big, strong and quick, a guy cut straight from the Geoff Cameron mold.
But it turns out that Jesse Marsch has different ideas. He played Wenger up top in the rookie's first action last week, coming right out and saying "I like him as a forward." And Wenger himself has said he wants an attacking role.
So when word dropped today that former Italian international central defender Matteo Ferrari was/is about to sign with the Impact, it just crystalized what was already pretty clear: Wenger's not going to be a defender in MLS.
At least, not yet, and not unless something goes "Chris Albright at center forward"-level wrong over the next couple of years.
For the Impact's sake, let's hope that's not in the cards.
For Porter's sake, let's hope Ike Opara can stay healthy and impress. Otherwise, the US central defense could be in a world of hurt come Olympic qualifying time.
In the meantime, enjoy the highlights of Montreal's scoreless draw with the Portland Timbers:

I lost my boat key and I cann't find my spare either. Do boat manufactures (Crown Line) keep records in order to get a replacement or am I looking at having to replace the entire keyed switch?
I lost my boat key and I cann't find my spare either. Do boat manufactures (Crown Line) keep records in order to get a replacement or am I looking at having to replace the entire keyed switch?
Go to a marine parts store and a new ignition switch, or take the slugs out of the old one and use a screw driver to start it, or just hot wire it. There is nothing special about the switch at all-nothing like a newer car.
You have two options. Take the ignition switch out. On the switch should be a number. Take the number to a Merc dealer and they should be able to give you new keys. The other option, as mentioned before, is to replace the switch with an inexpensive Sierra replacement from some place like West Marine.
usually you match your keys based on the engine (controls) and not the hull. There aren't but so many patterns within a manufacturer. You might get lucky witha friend's key matching. Also look inyour engine's owner's manual if you have it.
you can also take the switch out, take it to a locksmith and they will make you a new set for about $10
If the boat has some age on her now would be a good time to replace the ignition switch.
In the last couple of decades this may have changed, but in the 1970s-1980s there were but a very few key patterns for things like camper shells, construction equipment, homeowner garden equipment, etc. The key to my grandfather's 1963 IH Cub Cadet garden tractor would open the door, liftgate window, and would start my 1967 IH Scout 800!
Point is, this is probably an easy fix. Friend's keys, replace the switch, or pull it and take it to the lock shop.
I have a buddy who is a part time lock smith and he said that he normally charges $100 to make a key for a lock. Looks like replacing the switch will be the quickest option. Thanks for the input guys.

Bhristians Must Learn To Speak Above A Whisper
Tony BeamDr. Tony Beam's Weblog
- 2006 Aug 25
I had the great honor and priviledge of having Senator Jim Demint (R-SC) on my radio show recently and I was inspired and challenged by the strengh of his character; the purity of his integrity; and his great passion to make God clearly seen in government. His face reflected the rare light of someone who loves what they do. He talked confidently about the biggest problems we face. He spoke with clarity about the need for tight security at the border coupled with a reasonable plan for sorting through the people who are already here illegally. He sounded hopeful when he talked about the chances of disarming Iran without having to resort to all out war. He passionately defended the sanctity of life and he

Night of Terror
Ninety-five years ago today–Nov. 14, 1917–suffragists who had been arrested for picketing the White House were taken to Occoquan Workhouse. Several hours after their arrival the superintendent ordered guards wielding clubs to attack; "Its perfectly unexpected ferocity stunned us," Eunice … Continue reading

Spring has sprung early!
I had predicted it last month : « … don't wait … it looks as though the spring skiing season will be shorter than usual. » However what a surprise to see Spring 2010 off to such an early and roaring start!
As I write these lines, the radiant sunshine has, alas, melted away the skating rink and the Beaulieu trail. Your favorite bartender, Yves, passionate golfer beyond belief, has already stored his snowboard for the season and pulled out his golf bag. It is only a matter of days before his first swing…

Shirodhara is a typical massage of the Ayurvedic tradition. The treatment consists of pouring a steady stream of hot aromatic sesame oil on the forehead, particularly on the third eye area known as the center of the nervous system.
This massage relieves stress, reduces anguish and normalizes sleep. Sesame oil is known for its anti-wrinkle, anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties.
A well appreciated treatment during these times when stress ages us much too quickly!
I look forward to pampering you.

There are times in life when one simply wants to cry out of frustration with the world of Muslim nations. This has nothing to do with the Muslim religiion or people of the Muslim faith, but stores emanate from Islamic societies which bring tears to one's eyes. These are tears of sadness, tears of sorrow, tears of hopelessness and tears of joy.I inhabit the nation of the United States of America, a society in which those with decry failure of those without lacking millions for their daily lives. Over in Afghanistan, Sushmita Benerjee, an Indian author who wrote a book describing how she fled captivity in Taliban Afghanistan was dragged from her car on a main highway and taken away. The Taliban squad eventually found a place to put 15 bullets into her body–in the name of God, peace and the Talilban way of life.
Ironically, Mrs. Benerjee has converted to the Muslim faith and devoted her life to aiding the people of Afghanistan. These men with beards believe once in Heaven they will inhabit a world in which women know their place and God only associates with those of the Muslim faith who have a beard.
I assume Hell for these Taliban is being in the world above, but in the women's section.

Player Rankings for Week 14
Posted by Dawgmaticå on 12/06/11
QB Player Rankings – Week 14
RB Rankings WR Rankings TE Rankings
1. Aaron Rodgers (vs. Oak) – If you were to double the amount of interceptions he's thrown and cut his touchdowns in half, Aaron Rodgers would STILL rank within the top-10 fantasy QBs this season. That's how dominant the guy has been. What's even scarier is that Rodgers' overall average numbers are better at home (317 yards, 3.4 TDs and 30.7 fantasy points per game), where the Packers have only played five times so far in 2011. And of course, the most unnerving fact of all for owners playing against him this week is that he's facing an Oakland Raiders team that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing QBs this season. Pretty intimidating stuff, to say the least.
2. Matthew Stafford (vs. Min) – The first time Stafford faced Minnesota this season, he threw for a whopping 378 yards on almost 70 percent passing with two TDs back in Week 3—and that was before the Vikings secondary was completely decimated by injuries. The Lions will be playing at home in this one where Stafford has averaged 267 yards and 2.5 touchdowns—numbers he should easily surpass against a Minnesota defense that has allowed the most TDs, sixth-most yards and third-most fantasy points in 2011.
3. Drew Brees (@ Ten) – Coming off three straight games of putting up 320-plus yards while averaging three TDs a game, Drew Brees is the hottest quarterback in the NFL right now not named Aaron Rodgers and might be the only man in the league able to steal an MVP vote from him once the season is over. This week, the Saints travel to Tennessee to face a high-quality Titans defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest points in the NFL. It certainly won't be easy for Brees with the Titans eyeing the playoffs and in need of a win, but because he's playing at such a high level right now, I'm not sure there's anything they can do about it.
4. Tom Brady (@ Was) – The Redskins haven't allowed a 300-yard passer yet this season, but because the Stetson Man seems to thrive on such challenges, I expect Washington's streak to come to an end on Sunday—especially with the injuries they're dealing with on the defensive side of the ball. Brady also happens to be a better fantasy quarterback on the road where he's averaged over 336 yards, three touchdowns and 26 fantasy points a game this season.
5. Eli Manning (@ Dal – Sunday Night) – Manning ripped apart the Dallas secondary last year averaging 339.5 yards and three touchdowns against them in their two regular season games. He also happens to be clicking with his receivers right now throwing for five touchdowns and 753 yards over the last two weekends. The Cowboys have certainly stepped up their play on the defensive side of the ball this season, but in interdivisional rivalries such as these, things like this are usually tossed out the window. With that in mind, I expect this game to play out the way it has in their last five matchups where the two teams combine to average almost 60 points a game between them. With that amount of scoring, you can bet both Manning and Romo will account for a big part of it.
6. Tony Romo (vs. NYG – Sunday Night) – Tony Romo hasn't had the same amount of fantasy success in this rivalry as Eli Manning has, as evidenced by the season-ending injury he suffered against them in Week 7 last year. However, things like that can motivate a competitor like Romo more than us normal civilians realize, so you might actually consider his prior bad luck as a positive heading into this weekend. With Miles Austin returning to an already lethal WR corps and the Giants allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to QBs this season, look for Romo to put up numbers similar to Manning's in what could end up being the game of the week.
7. Cam Newton (vs. Atl) – Last weekend was a perfect example of why Cam Newton needs to be in your starting lineup each and every week. I mean, how often do you see a quarterback throw for just 200 yards and one touchdown, yet put up the most fantasy points during a week in which four other QBs throw for 340-plus yards with three or more TDs? NEVER would be the correct answer here. Cam has already faced Atlanta once in his rookie campaign and had one of his least explosive games of the year. However, expect him to turn it around in this one with this being his first game back home in nearly a month.
8. Philip Rivers (vs. Buf) – Rivers finally seems to be hitting his stride putting up 19 or more fantasy points in four of his last five games while tossing zero interceptions in his last two. With WR Malcom Floyd's return from injury last weekend against the Jags, the Chargers receiving corps became that much more lethal considering the ascension of rookie Vincent Brown in his absence along with the continued improvement of Antonio Gates' mobility. Playing at home against a Buffalo team that has given up three or more passing TDs in three of their last four games, Rivers should have no problem continuing his recent hot streak.
9. Carson Palmer (@ GB) – Palmer has had a little bit of trouble getting himself into a groove as of late, but with the amount of injuries the Raiders have had at wide receiver, his recent slide is certainly understandable. This week, however, he has a couple of things going for him. First, the Raiders are playing a Packers team that has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2011. Second, Palmer will likely have to toss the ball 40-45 times if they want a shot at winning this game. Combine those two little nuggets with the fact that the Packers defense is still a little banged up and you're looking at a nice little turn-around for Carson this weekend
10. Michael Vick (@ Mia) – Michael Vick is back, and none too soon for fantasy owners who were depending on him for their fantasy playoffs. Will he be a little bit rusty? More than likely, yes, but even a rusty Michael Vick is more athletic and lethal than most any other QB in the game. Just because he's been out a few weeks doesn't mean we should forget that Vick still ranks among the top guys in the league in fantasy points per game. The Miami team he'll be facing is actually one of the hotter teams in the league right now, especially on the defensive side of the ball. That said, they've also allowed seven different quarterbacks to toss two or more TDs against them this year, so hot or not—they can still be had for some decent fantasy points. If Tim Tebow can put up 20-plus fantasy points against them (Week 7), Vick should be able to as well.

The Rebel Room
UTAH POSTGAME: The third cut is the deepest
Ryan Greene and Christine Killimayer come to you from Salt Lake City, where they discuss UNLV's 66-61 loss at Utah — the team's third straight — and what the implications were towards the Rebels' postseason hopes.
SALT LAKE CITY — For now, forget what outside experts and so-called bracketologists are saying regarding UNLV's NCAA tournament hopes, whether it be good or bad.
After another rough showing it appears that as important as winning games is now, it's also important to get back to playing like what — simply put — was a different-looking group.
Wednesday's 66-61 setback at Utah was the Rebels' third consecutive defeat since landing a resounding 88-74 victory over conference kingpin BYU at home less than two weeks ago.
Plagued again by the same woes — coming out of the gates flat, spotty rebounding and inconsistent scoring — Lon Kruger's club was again forced to fight from behind on the road.
And, again, an inability to get over the hump placed UNLV (19-7 overall, 7-5 Mountain West) on the losing end. It's also hard to completely ignore the fact that it may have put the team firmly on the NCAA tournament bubble.
"The loss is frustrating, but it's more frustrating that we don't fight for a whole 40 minutes," junior guard Tre'Von Willis said. "We came out so flat and we definitely weren't doing the things we wanted to do. That's the frustrating thing about it. You prepare to play as hard as you can play, and we had a couple miscues and things like that hurt us."
It was one thing for Willis — who led all scorers with 32 points — to say the Rebels were flat again. But it was noticed by the opponents who took advantage of it, too.
Carlon Brown, who led the Utes with 18 points and repeatedly hurt UNLV with his ability to explode with his first step, drive and finish at the rim, was asked if he thought the Rebels resembled a team ready to fight for a win they badly needed.
"I don't think they did in the first half," he said. "In the second half, they showed more of a sense of urgency, and Willis was getting into it with the crowd.
"I expected more from them, but I'm not going to say nothing. I'm going to take the win."
In the grand scheme of things, the loss did nothing more for the Utes (12-13, 5-6) than give them bragging rights, having swept the season series from the Rebels in an up-and-down year for Jim Boylen's club.
But the implications were bigger for UNLV, which lost more ground in an effort to improve its standing in the race for a potential at-large spot in March's field of 65. The loss dropped the Rebels into fourth place in the league as the three teams ahead of them — No. 12 New Mexico, No. 16 BYU and San Diego — only get hotter and hotter.
"We go into every ballgame thinking that way," Kruger said of the must-win label given by many to Wednesday's contest. "And we'll go into the next one thinking exactly the same way."
For as rough as things may have looked early on, the Rebels still had a chance to cover it all up late, showing the thinness of the team's margin for error.
Having not led in a game since being up 5-4 on San Diego State early Saturday afternoon, UNLV came back from a second-half deficit which was as large as nine points to tie it up at 61-61 with 2:15 to play. That was thanks to a second-chance bucket from Darris Santee, who hustled for an offensive rebound on the play.
After Brown hit a jumper to put Utah ahead by two, the Rebels called two timeouts to set things up for a crucial possession, and the plan was clearly to just get the ball to Willis and let him go to work.
There was no reason not to.
To that point, he'd scored 32 points, including 20 in the second half, as he was the Rebels' lone consistent scoring threat all night.
With the ball on the left wing, 20 seconds showing on the game clock and roughly eight on the shot clock, Willis put up a shot-fake on a 3-point attempt, drew his defender in the air, but then hoisted an uncomfortable-looking trey rather than putting the ball on the floor.
It missed, and Utah closed the game out from the free throw line.
"I was thinking about making the shot," he said when asked about his thought process after the head-fake. "But I feel like I let my teammates down, though, tonight. I felt like I could have done better. They put me in a position to tie or win the game, and I didn't make the most of the opportunity."
Added Kruger: "We wanted to get it in his hands. If he could jab-and-shoot, great. Obviously, he couldn't, but he had a little window there. Obviously it was a contested shot."
While Willis, being the team's unquestioned leader, spoke as if the loss was on him, the onus is now on everyone to stop the bleeding.
The final quarter of UNLV's regular season schedule begins at 3 p.m. Saturday with a home date against Colorado State. The other three games are against three teams directly below them in the league standings — TCU, Air Force and Wyoming.
For now, with the things that still need fixing, the Rebels don't want to go into specifics on the uncertain future.
"It's kind of a moot point," Kruger said when asked about the lost opportunity in terms of aiding the Rebels' postseason hopes. "Obviously, if you don't win a ball game, you lose the opportunity to put one in the right column. I don't know what else can be said about that. It's a lost opportunity."
