as posted many times in this forum, the mysteriuos 2 witnesses of prophecy are the mocking father/son team of osama bin ladin and imin zawahiri..with the guidance of st. JOHN of kronstadt who teaches to embrace EVERY word of scripture, lets look at the verseclue puzzlepieces of revelation 11...a verse in this chapter tells us that their dead bodies(they are only killed completely when zawahiri is killed)will lie in the street of the GREAT city, which is called FIGURATIVELY sodom and egypt, where also THEIR lord was crucified...in the king james version, the word is not THEIR but rather OUR which would lead us into the trap of thinking that their deaths occur in jerusalem, either literally of spiritually..this is NOT the case..the city where THEY are killed, either literally or spiritually, is the GREAT city, which, if we google baku, azerbajian was known as the great city of GOD/god, the city where all the religions of the world met..this GREAT city is on the shores of the caspian sea, the sea out of which forth the oilbeast of revelation rises forth from...also, we note that both the city and the 2 witnesses are linked thru the phrase clue that IT and they are FIGYRATIVELY sodom egypt..the egypt link is easy as zawahiri is egyptian, where the egyptian muslim brotherhood was born..to link bin ladin to sodom must be done figuatively and it is done thru aramco, the arabian-american oil company that has empowered islamic imperialism since its founding in 1938 as the arabian oil became the largest commercial prize in the history of the planet..lastly,the porn industry in america generates more revenue than the film industry, thus bin ladin becomes figuratively sodomQuoting: nivolaem 27101962

/// Beats Electronics Grows Up With Executive Headphones
With their bold colors and celebrity endorsements, the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones enjoy quite a following with the younger crowd. But to appeal to the older audiophiles, Beats Electronics is releasing a new model with a more subtle and higher-end design. The Beats Executive is made from such premium materials as aluminum alloy, stainless steel and leather and sport a more inconspicuous silver color. It folds flat for easier storage and comes with a carrying case. The headphones feature active noise cancellation for drowning out the sounds of the office, home or air travel and run on two AAA batteries, which are included in the box. Beats also throws in an airline adaptor and an iOS-compatile microphone cable with built-in remote that lets you control your iPhone or iPod, answer calls and more. The Beats Executive headphones are the first product released by Beats Electronics since it parted ways with Monster, which used to make the company's headphones. The Executive is expected to be available in mid-October for $299 and competes against Bose's line of QuietComfort noise-canceling headphones .

By Tom Blackwell
In a decade that has seen only an increase in the barrage of salacious influences on teens — from Internet pornography to explicit TV and cell phone sexting–pregnancy rates have actually declined.
A study published yesterday suggests that teenagers may not be the reckless, sex-mad generation that some imagine them to be, finding that Canadian adolescent pregnancy rates plunged 36% in a recent 10-year period, and are now lower than in three similar industrialized countries.
Experts say sex education and access to contraception, economic good times, a decline in sexual abuse and even the older age of the typical adult mother have helped create boys and girls who are actually more sensible than ever about their carnal behaviour.
Larger pockets of extreme poverty and abstinence-based sex-ed in the United States, meanwhile, have left that country with twice Canada's rate of teen conception, the study suggests. Britain is not much better, while Sweden is closer to Canada but still lagging.
"When I talk to parents and teachers and young people, they have this assumption that teenagers are engaging in sex at a younger and younger age and doing it more and more. We're just not seeing that," said Elizabeth Saewyc, a public-health professor at the University of British Columbia.
The study by the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada (SIECCAN) found that pregnancy rates for females aged 15-19 plummeted to 27.9 per 1,000 in 2006 — the latest year for which figures were available for all four countries in the study — from 44.2 in 1996.
The other nations each saw smaller declines or even increases.
The U.S. rate dropped 25% to 61.2 pregnancies per 1,000, that for England/Wales dropped by less than 5% to 60.3 and the Swedish rate jumped 19% to 31.4. The four countries were chosen because their pregnancy statistics could be relatively easily compared, with a breakdown between live births and abortions, said the study in the Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality.
The rate of abortions and births in Canada remained about equal throughout the 10 years, while the percentage of births in the United States rose to almost 68% of pregnancies. On the other hand, the rate of abortions jumped in both Britain and Sweden.
Surveys of young people in Canada suggest that teenagers are slightly less likely to be having sex than a decade ago, with about 43% reporting they had had intercourse in 2005, noted Alex McKay, SIECCAN's research director and one of the paper's authors.
Evidence indicates, however, the same period saw an increase in use of oral contraceptives and condoms by teenagers.
Sex education takes part of the credit for the trends, as does a growing economic wellbeing that makes young men and women envision a future that makes it worth putting off having children, said Mr. McKay.
"In recent decades, Canada has become a more tolerant and accepting society, in terms of recognizing the reality of adolescent sexuality, and that translates into parents being more comfortable talking to their children about sex," he added.
Prof. Saewyc said a major survey of British Columbia youth she oversees points to another factor, too. It found that fewer young people report having been sexually abused now than in the 1990s. That is significant because such abuse tends to affect behaviour and lead to less positive sexual choices, she said.
She also suggests that the fact many women are now having children in their 30s and 40s makes it even less socially acceptable for teenagers to become pregnant.

Cracks in floor
I have a new 2004 Mobius LSV. everything was fine when i inspected boat upon pickup. I noticed the other day while washing the boat that there are 2 "thick" hairline cracks spanning the floor from side to side in the bow. Any idea's what can be done about this? The boat has 20 hours on it, and i plan on telling my dealer about it during the 20hr checkup. Anyone else experience this? Thanks!

2013-14 Most Improved Teams - Women's Soccer
July 9, 2014
As part of the University of Cincinnati Athletics annual awards, GoBEARCATS.com will recognize three of the department's programs as most improved during the 2013-14 year from July 8-10. Following yesterday's recap of the men's golf season, today we recognize the women's soccer program.
When Neil Stafford was named head coach of the University of Cincinnati women's soccer program in November 2012, he brought a winning pedigree with him. The native Englishman who grew up in Massachusetts had taken Central Michigan and Assumption College to the Division I and II NCAA Tournaments, respectively, and the expectation was for success to follow with the Bearcats.
The schedule did not do UC any favors, as the Bearcats opened with six of the first seven games on the road, literally playing from coast-to-coast with matches at Miami (Fla.), Nebraska, Dayton, Long Beach State, UC Santa Barbara and Xavier sandwiched around a home game with UMass-Lowell that provided Stafford with his first victory at UC.
"It's about players getting rewarded for what they're doing," Stafford said after that first victory. "We were good at times and we were able to take our chances, which we hadn't been able to do."
Things kept getting better for Stafford and the Bearcats as the season went on. After winning just once in the first seven matches, UC capped the season by winning seven of 12 contests, including a 4-4-1 mark in the American Athletic Conference. It started with a win over Kent State before a trip to New England kept the momentum going with victories at Cornell and former BIG EAST Conference foe Providence.
As American Athletic Conference play began, Stafford's club showed they would not back down to anyone. All nine regular season league games and the first round of the conference tournament were decided by one goal. Two of UC's four regular season losses and the conference tournament loss to Rutgers came in overtime. The Bearcats also played 19th-ranked UCF to a 1-1 draw during the stretch.
From day one, Stafford emphasized the team being a family. The adversity faced during the season - from the new expectations that come with a new coaching staff, to the extensive travel schedule, to the hard-fought, one-goal matches - all helped foster that bond Stafford was looking to build.
"We grew as a team," said junior defender Jae Atkinson. "We faced adversity as a team and grew closer. We had to overcome a rough travel schedule, the physical test, it was so much to overcome mentally and physically."
"We all came together," said junior midfielder Megan Cravenor. "We did a lot better on the field, but we also improved as a team academically."
The Turning Point
Cincinnati 1, Cornell 0 (Sept. 20) | Cincinnati 2, Providence 0 (Sept. 22)
Stafford simply calls it the "Weekend in New England." The Bearcats went east to face Cornell and Providence with a record of just 2-6, but swept the matches without conceding a goal. The wins over the Big Red and Friars did more than just provide momentum on the field. Stafford was just as proud of what the team had overcome off the field, as well.
"Not only had we already endured a brutal travel schedule, we had received word of the terrible accident with the UC football players on their way back from Miami (Ohio)," Stafford explained. "The players were mentally and physically exhausted and to have put in two performances like they did was commendable."
It was a pivotal weekend for the team, as it provided momentum into the American slate of games.
"What I remember most was the energy on the bench matched the energy on the field," Stafford said. "In that one weekend, we had the entire team functioning as one. What a way to head into the American Athletic Conference schedule with confidence high and unified."
The Future
Next season, Stafford will rely on his seven-member senior class to help mentor a group of 13 incoming freshman and two transfer additions that will help the program take the next step.
"Our freshman and senior classes will have the biggest impact on our season," Stafford said. "The freshman are going to play a significant part this fall, and to do that the seniors have to lead by example. The seniors are great role models. Our senior class, academically they're fantastic, fitness wise do very well, they're incredibly involved in the UC and Cincinnati community, so there's a lot our incoming freshman can learn from our seniors."
The women's soccer team opens the 2014 campaign on Friday, Aug. 15, when Valparaiso visits Gettler Stadium for a 5:00 p.m. start. Season tickets are available at GoBEARCATS.com/tickets and by calling 1-877-CATS-TIX. Follow the women's soccer team on Twitter @UCWomensSoccer.

"Then speak, in Heaven's name; or I certainly shall throw myself into the bilge water," Josephine says desperately.
The arrangement for baling out the bilge water is extremely laborious.
Like bad eggs, salt, and tenpenny nails biled in bilge water.
The 'atches are battened down, it's as 'ot as a furnace, and the stink of the bilge water's enough to knock you down.
"There are worse smells than bilge water," replied the captain.
Gage, depth of water in a vessel—this water is called "bilge water."
The old tar was pleased mightily, and the smell of oakum and bilge water appeared to act on him like a tonic.
He leant back and puffed great clouds into the air, filling the small den with an odour suggestive of bilge water and cemeteries.
The only way to do this was to creep under the bunkers among the bilge water, an unpleasant and dangerous task.
She's been lyin' inside o' the harbor, half full o' bilge water, fer more'n a year, an' ain't wuth scuttlin'.

I prefer "fixed" sights on my defensive handguns, both Revolver and Autoloader.
The advantage of "adjustable" sights is outweighed by the tendancy of the sights to be knocked out of alignment when you need them most. I work on the sight and file it down, raise it up, or whatever needs doing, for one load. Then that's what I carry in that gun.
Target Guns are a different matter. I prefer "adjustable" sights on them as the Range is not a gunfight.

B.S., 1995, State University of New York – Binghamton
M.A., 1999, State University of New York – Binghamton
My interests lie in the field of cell biology with particular emphasis on using microscopy-based approaches to solve questions. I have been broadly trained in various light- and electron-based microscopy techniques; this includes attendance at the Quantitative and Fluorescence Microscopy course at the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory, and the Analytical and Quantitative Light Microscopy course at Woods Hole.
For my graduate thesis work, I used a combination of light and electron microscopy (both SEM and TEM) to solve ultrastructural details in the coralline red alga Jania adhaerens.
Prior to coming to Boston College I managed three different imaging facilities, two at Cornell University (light and electron microscopy) and one at Arizona State University (light microscopy). In addition I taught a graduate level microscopy course while at Arizona State University.
Currently, at Boston College, I manage the imaging facility within the department of biology. The facility serves the entire Boston College community. In addition to managing the imaging facility I also teach the Advanced Lab in Cell Imaging course in both the Fall and Spring semesters. This course is for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. The course is a mixture of traditional lectures and hands on laboratory exercises. The culmination of the course is a student-selected project and presentation covering some of the instrumentation that we have discussed in class.

Environmental Benefits of Conservation on Cropland: The Status of Our Knowledge. 1st edition. Ankeny, IA: Soil and Water Conservation Society. p. 131-148. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Irrigation is practiced on about 17 percent of the world's arable land and accounts for 33 percent of the world's food production. U.S. Department of Agriculture conservation programs are commonly used to improve water management on irrigated land and reduce impacts of irrigation on the environment and natural resources. Goals of water management practices are generally to decrease evaporation and reduce overland runoff and deep percolation of water and contaminants. While a wide range in values are reported, irrigation system efficiency can easily be improved to 80 percent or more. Improved irrigation management can significantly reduce water diversions or withdrawals but this does not directly translate to saving water that will be available for downstream or other uses. Water lost to runoff or deep percolation can still be used downstream, however, improving irrigation water management usually improves water quality by reducing soil erosion, nutrient and pesticides loses with runoff, and salt in return flows. Irrigated agriculture is a vital component of the food and fiber production system in the United States and around the world. Environmental and water quality problems commonly associated with irrigated agriculture can largely be minimized with known management practices and properly designed systems.

Re: ODE

While lectureing with Mathematica I noticed that the following ODE
does not return the correct initial conditions.
Is this an error or standard procedure?
eq1= { x y'[x]+(x+2) y[x]==2 Exp[-x], y[0]==y0};
sol= y[x]/.(eq1// DSolve[#,y[x] ,x]&//Flatten)
sol/.x->0 (*Should equal to y0 and not 1*)
Out[64]= E^(-x)
Out[67]= 1 (*Should equal to y0 and not 1*)
The answer to your question is that x=0 is a singular point
of the ODE, and so you can not specify arbitrary initial
I hope this helps.

text: The federal and state government are (finally) really going after the for-profit college industry. Corinthian Colleges in the US, which owns Everest, Wyotech, Heald and a few other schools, may shut down this week if they can't find funding. Last week, the government held its ability to access federal financial aid due to issues the school did not resolve. The Department of Education said that Corinthian refused to address issues with its marketing practices, as well as falsification of job placement data. In fact, they said the school refused to even respond when the DoE contacted them about these issues. CEC owns Sanford Brown, the Le Cordon Bleu schools, and Colorado Technical University, amongst others. EMC owns the Art Institute chain of schools, Brown Mackie, Argosy U, and South U. ITT Tech, I believe, only uses its own name on its schools. http://online.wsj.com/articles/cori...dity-shortage-after-u-s-delays-aid-1403185543 What do you guys think of the for-profit schools?

Each year, the American Sportfishing Association hosts the fishing industry's largest trade show, called ICAST. From across the globe, manufacturers, sales reps, buyers and dealers all meet at a given location to work toward a common goal, and that's to bring new products and services to market.
This year's show was held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. More than 100,000 square feet of showroom space was packed to the rafters with everything imaginable related to fishing. Rods, reels, lures, electronics, clothing, sunglasses — you name it, it was there.
In addition to the many media types who attend, a large number of touring pros were also on hand — some representing their sponsors, others shopping for new ones. It was a hectic time, as attendance was way up. So much so, in fact, it was touted by many as the best show in 15 years! Every aisle stayed busy throughout the three-day event.
For all the regulars who attend, ICAST is not only a great place to catch up with old friends and industry contacts, it's the place to see what's new.
Buyer-Media Blitz
Throughout the show, I represent my sponsors by working directly with the buyers and media, relating design concepts and practical applications for their newest products. Having worked the show for so many years, I've developed strong bonds with many of the reps and buyers, and media too — including contacts in TV, radio, the Internet, and a variety of print publications. All of them serve an important role in spreading the word on new products and services, and my job is to help them deliver the message.
The first day was crazy. From the time the doors opened till they closed again, I was bouncing from booth to booth showing off all the new stuff. Amazingly, several Internet sites were publishing photos and info on these new products as fast as I could describe them. Talk about real-time reporting!
Some scheduled appointments, others just winged it. It was nonstop. And at ICAST, busy is always good!
New Tools of the Trade
Although I had almost no free time, I did manage a brief visit to the New Product Showcase, where manufacturers enter their latest creations hoping to gain additional exposure. As part of the Showcase, awards are given to those products that best represent their respective categories, such as Best Freshwater Rod, Best Saltwater Reel, and so on.
Among the standouts was this year's Best New Marine Accessory, the Power-Pole Drift Paddle. Introduced by JL Marine Systems, the Drift Paddle is designed to slow your boat's drift speed by as much as 50 percent — eliminating the need for cumbersome drift socks. Even more impressive is how they managed to make the paddles so user-friendly. By pulling a simple pin, the paddle adjusts to seven different positions, which enables the user to control the direction of his drift. Pull another pin and the entire unit is easily removed for storage.
That makes two in a row for Power-Pole — they also took top honors last year with their Signature Series Blade, a wireless 10-foot Power-Pole with increased response and control.
Another item that caught the eye of the judges was Costa Del Mar's new 580P Sunrise lens. This super-lightweight, impact resistant lens allows maximum light transmission and enhanced depth perception to cut glare and allow anglers to see through the water more clearly under low light levels. It also provides added impact protection against flying objects, such as heavy flipping weights.
The next time you're dealing with low light levels, brighten the view, safely, with Costa's 580P Sunrise lenses. They're available in a multitude of frame styles.
Among my personal picks for best new products was Rapala's BX Swimmer and Minnow. Talk about technology! Their design engineers discovered a way to encase balsawood inside an impact-resistant, clear plastic shell.
The BX Swimmer features a slow sinking, jointed body and shallow diving lip, which force the lure to swim in an exaggerated side-to-side motion. The BX Minnow offers the same diving lip, but in a one-piece body. Both are beautifully detailed in a variety of lifelike finishes, and there's no doubt they'll be an instant hit with swimbait fans.
Speaking of cool lures, wait till you see the new PsychoDad soft-plastic crawdad by Kinami. Designed by western "punching" guru, Bub Tosh, the PsychoDad is a small crawdad designed for flipping in thick cover. It features enhanced, round claws that actually paddle as the lure swims. It's also the only craw with a built-in rattle chamber big enough to hold a 7mm rattle — designed so that it won't fall out. The PsychoDad is molded with additional plastic at the "tail" to match the diameter of larger flipping weights and for secure rigging to straight-shank flipping hooks that utilize the new-style keepers.
For rod builders big and small, Fuji finally brought out their highly anticipated KR Concept Guides. Designed to accommodate both spinning and baitcasting style blanks, these new guides are the product of more than two years of development and testing.
To aid rod builders in the application of these new guides, Anglers Resource (Fuji's North American Distributor) has developed tutorials and animated software which can be accessed free of charge on their website.
Looking Ahead
If this year's show is any indication of what lies ahead, I'd say the fishing industry is in pretty good shape. Not only did ICAST set new attendance records, it showcased some of the most innovative products brought to market in years.
Throughout the show, there was an obvious air of optimism. Manufacturers and reps were glowing from the attention of buyers, and the media captured it all.
Considering the increased interest and demand, I'm sure manufacturers are now left with the task of ramping up production. And that's a very good thing. The fishing industry needed a shot in the arm.
Leaving ICAST, I experienced the same renewed feeling I had after the Green Bay Elite Series event — finally, things appear to be back on track!

Classroom Views: Fighting Absenteeism in New York
In high school, we often daydream about playing hooky and cutting class. We pretend we're Matthew Broderick in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," having wild adventures away from the boring hum-drum days in school. And once in a while, we may have succumbed to those urges and took an unexcused absence or two.
In New York City, some students take cutting class to another, much more serious level. Recent studies have shown that 40 percent of New York high school students miss around a month of school each year.
The city's high rate of truancy, or chronic absenteeism, has serious implications for students. Recent research on New York City schools showed that students who miss 20 days of school or more each year get lower grades and are much more likely not to graduate.
West Brooklyn Community High School has narrowed in on these high-schoolers who are chronically absent from school, and developed strategies to keep in them in school and on track to graduate.
"They have to first break bad habits and then establish new ones," says Yasmeen Khan, a reporter for our co-producer WNYC, of West Brooklyn Community High School.
Khan has tracked the success of students at West Brooklyn High. Her work with the school came out of a WNYC series called "Educating on the Edge," which is part of American Graduate, a public media initiative supported by the Corporation of Public Broadcasting that's looking at the country's drop-out crisis.
Khan says that the school's success lies in its partnership with Good Shepherd Services, an organization that provides advocate counselors for students. These counselors provide emotional support for students, while also ensuring they have good models for behavior.
"They're checking in with students—they're trying to head off conflict.," Khan says. "They're basically coaches."
Each day, the work of the advocates starts at the school's entrance. They greet students hello, take attendance and welcome the students with positive greetings. On a recent morning at West Brooklyn High, you could hear an advocate counselor doling out compliments to the students walking through the door.
"Hi Christine! I like your boots," one chimes.
Students who choose to attend West Brooklyn High must commit to the school's rigorous program and sign an agreement that they will meet the school's standards. Sasha Gittens, one of the school's advocate counselors, describes what's involved to new students.
"Our school is a school of meetings," Gittens tells the newcomers. "If you're falling behind in school, we can call a family meeting. If I'm not seeing you in school, we can call a family meeting."
But Gittens adds that she goes to students first when they begin to have problems in school, so that they feel comfortable addressing their issues.
"If I have a problem, I'm going to come to you. If you're not passing English class, I'm going say we need to sit down and talk about this first," Gittens says.
By and large, the students who come to this school have previous histories of poor performance, much of which can be attributed to difficult home lives.
"A lot of students have complicated and chaotic lives," Khan says. "There wasn't a lot of modeling there to succeed in school."
One such student that Khan met was Paula, a 19-year-old West Brooklyn High student. She has nine siblings, seven of whom never graduated high school.
Before coming to West Brooklyn, Paula only had 4.5 credits—New York students need 44 credits to graduate. Part of her problem, like most students at West Brooklyn, was chronic truancy, which she says started early on in high school.
"Freshman year I was doing good up until January, and then everything just went downhill from there," Paula says. "I started cutting … And I noticed nobody was watching me or whatever, being down my throat about cutting school. So I just kept doing it."
Paula's advocate counselor at West Brooklyn High, Cristian Zapata, says that with his guidance, Paula learned better behavior and begin to act more maturely. Yet, even with her changes in attitude, it wasn't until last year that he says Paula began seriously focusing on school.
"To tell you the truth it wasn't until last graduation that we had last June, that she had actually attended for ones of her friends, that she actually saw the worth," Zapata says. "She was like, 'Cristian it's time. Me seeing my friends coming down the aisle made me realize I need to do it as well.'"
Khan says that Paula still admits that school isn't always easy for her—she frequently misses or arrives late to her first class. Thanks to West Brooklyn High, though, Paula has built up her academic skills and now even looks forward to attending college one day.
And that day might be coming soon. Khan was there when Zapata told Paula what she scored on two state exams she needed to pass to graduate. She passed both, getting one of the highest scores in the school. And Paula couldn't be happier.
"Oh my god I'm so proud of myself," Paula said between gasps. "You know how much this means. I really thought I was going to fail and stay here for longer."

Sir Anthony Bamford, the billionaire boss of JCB and a long-term Tory donor, withdrew his name from consideration for a peerage this year after a newspaper reported that an objection had been made.
Speaking exclusively to the Evening Standard, Sir Anthony said that all the allegations were "utterly untrue" and categorically stated that he has "no outstanding tax matters".
Sir Anthony had his nomination questioned by the House of Lords Appointments Commission.
The revelation came as a blow to David Cameron, who had personally recommended him for a peerage.
The JCB boss told how he had fought the accusations behind the scenes since they were leaked in May. Westminster sources are now predicting that he will next year be made a peer, quashing any previous objections.
Sir Anthony said: "I knew it was all utterly untrue but thought the best thing to do at that time was to withdraw. I am a UK taxpayer. I am not a non dom. I pay a very large amount of tax every year personally because I earn a lot of money.
"I have no tax schemes. My tax return is a very simple one. I have no outstanding tax matters at all. Have I ever had disputes on PAYE in the last 20 years? Once or twice but not major disputes. But let me emphasise, there are no outstanding tax matters."
He said that after withdrawing his candidacy for a peerage, he had PricewaterhouseCoopers draw up a report into all his taxes over the last 15 years.
"It eventually turned out that for quite a bit of the period in question I was actually owed money by the taxman," he said. "There was nothing untoward in any year in any transaction but the damage had been done."
Sir Anthony, who has run JCB since taking over from his father in 1975, said that despite the alleged smear campaign against him, he "would serve if called". He added: "The most important thing is that I have nothing outstanding. Nothing. My affairs are completely in order."

As Freddie Quell, the perpetually edgy and self-destructive soul at the centre of Paul Thomas Anderson's confounding new film The Master, Joaquin Phoenix keeps his head tilted back and speaks as if his mouth is clogged; neither the angles of his lined face nor the sounds that emanate from it are familiar. Freddie, a World War II veteran, can't find a minute's peace in his own body, and Phoenix - unleashed from semi-retirement - inhabits the role with astounding fidelity.
The only person who believes he can help Freddie, whether out of arrogance or the recognition of his own suppressed desires, is Lancaster Dodd, a charming if self-important orator who has his own belief system, The Cause.
Lancaster is played with pomp and precision by Philip Seymour Hoffman, and between them the characters represent the two spheres of screen acting from the movie's setting of the early 1950s: the guttural, naturalistic Freddie could be Marlon Brando, while the classically refined Lancaster recalls Orson Welles.
The comparison is worth noting not only because between them Phoenix and Hoffman craft a fascinating interaction that the movie revolves around, but because the psychological interior of The Master is rich with such theories, even if they refuse to provide a gateway to understanding the film.
This is Anderson's sixth feature film since he made his debut with Sydney in 1996, and it's his most obtuse. The Master, which comes with a prominent score from Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, exists in a way that only Anderson can fathom its totality.
''The will of one man is a cult,'' a doubter tells Dodd at a party put on in his honour by a wealthy devotee, but that could also apply to a filmmaker as sure of himself as Anderson.
As with 1997's Boogie Nights and 2002's Punch-Drunk Love, The Master features a lone protagonist who is drawn to an unconventional family structure.
The opening scenes, brief and telling, have a vexing, cumulative power as the end of WWII brings no peace to Freddie, who desires alcohol and sex and satisfies the former with home brew even as he fails miserably at the latter.
By the time he stows away on a boat with Lancaster and his court, he can barely function in society.
Much has been speculated about the resemblance Dodd and The Cause bear to L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology, and the connection is both obvious and largely irrelevant. Anderson is not interested in how a cult takes root and, rightly, he doesn't examine the validity of The Cause's doctrines, which are serious mumbo-jumbo. He's preoccupied with what Lancaster can do with Freddie, questionable methods and all, and their dynamic is something akin to trainer and animal.
Freddie initially impresses Lancaster, whose acolytes address him as ''the Master'', with a home-made concoction - step one: strain paint thinner through bread - but despite a series of long and rigorous sessions across the years and various locales, in which Lancaster drills Freddie and uses against him his own recollections of a girl (Madisen Beaty) he abandoned as a young man, the subject, in essence, doesn't change.
The best measure of their bond is how it bothers Lancaster's virulently loyal younger wife, Peggy, who tries to steer her husband as much as she serves him. Amy Adams can convey civility with chilling exactness - Peggy recalls Daniel Day-Lewis's obsessive Daniel Plainview from Anderson's previous release, 2007's There Will Be Blood - and this movie could have done with more of her steel-eyed will.
What's undeniable is that as a writer and director, Anderson is a wonderfully untoward alternative historian, skilled at evoking a time and place, whether it's the Los Angeles porn business of the early 1980s or the emotionally scarred postwar life of three decades earlier.
The film's flaws never feel distinct from its successes, and for all its mix of repetition and sudden explosive bursts of emotion, The Master is a defiant cohesive whole united by the warm, detailed 65-millimetre cinematography that makes the 1950s feel like one of the past lives Lancaster coaxes his followers to dredge up.
It drags a touch in the middle, and the final scene as epilogue - a Paul Thomas Anderson staple - is unduly perplexing, but the movie exerts an undeniable hold. It's difficult not to believe.
Rated MA, 137 minutes, opens Thursday
Stars: Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams

I would like to know some options on concealing mag carriers. Everyone seems to concentrate on the firearm and I think I have that handled. However, I have not found much info about the mag carriers. I have tried IWB mag carriers but they are just not comfortable when I carry the gun the same way. And what good is an OWB mag holder if you are using a tuckable holster?
Any suggestions?

I use a clip on Desantis leather carrier. If the bottom of it is seen, it just looks like a knife sheath. It rides close enough to the body not to print under a T-shirt.

I just pocket carry my extra mags or speed strips in leather holders.
I pocket carry one in a Remora single mag holster on my off draw side. I carry a third mag in my backpack's front pocket as I have that with me most of the time just as an extra 10 rounds.

I carry one extra mag on my week side OTWB in a multi tool sheath. It has Gerber written in large letters, this way if my shirt does ride up no one will be suspicious.
I found a leatherman/flashlight owb holder in my closet that works perfectly for my spare mag. Doesn't look suspicious, but provides me easy access.
yup. sheath that came with my leatherman.
I carry my extra mag in a nylon mag carrier right behind my leatherman. Noone has ever said a word, but the flap on the carrier covers the mag well.
If I carried it in my Leatherman sheath, I would have to carry my Leatherman in my mag carrier..... I guess thats not a bad idea.
Stop whining and go do something that makes a difference!
If you think that I may be talking to you, then I am.
I have a pocket clip on my leatherman.

Bushnell DOA scopes
I was wondering if the Bushnell DOA 250 can be used with a centerfire rifle, mainly a 30-06. A guy at local sporting goods store was trying to sell me one and he said that it can be accurately used with a centerfire rifle. Is he right or is he trying to screw me?
yes and no, mostly no,more problems than its worth
A friend of mine is using a DOA on a .30-06 with no problems at all but he is using the proper one for the .30-06 caliber
which is the DOA 600.
The DOA 250 is only reccomended for a muzzleloader.
I just checked the Bushnell site to look into it for you.
The following info on the DOA was cut and pasted from Bushnell's website.
"Whether you choose a rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader or crossbow to fill your tag,
there is a Dead On Accurate™ (DOA) reticle for you.
Its extended-yardage aiming points enable you to shoot with lethal precision out to
600 yards with a centerfire rifle (DOA 600),
250 yards with a muzzleloader (DOA 250),
200 yards with a shotgun (DOA 200)
or 50 yards with a crossbow (DOA X-Bow)."
Good Luck
I think we just had a good discussion on this same issue.
Hes screwing you. It is the doa 600 for centerfires! I guess u could use the main chrosshairs and set to one specific range but get he doa 600! :p
I know they say its for a muzzleloader, but i put mine on my 270, and man it worked great. it stays zero at 100 yards just fine. i thought i would just try it until i can get a new one for the one that got broke. but think i will leave it on the 270. have taken shots out to 250 yards no problems. yet that is? lol.
Yes i agree with Stewart1516. With Bushnell DOA 250,muzzleloader rifles are used to increase your lethal range.

I've never been one to follow any professional sport, even if it's soccer, but I thought this video deserved a little attention. It sheds some light on what it's like to be gay in a professional sport and, while I think it is difficult for professional sportsmen in America to come out, I imagine coming out as gay in English football is incredibly more daunting, especially with such a huge, dedicated, crazed fan base.

Ballard High earns first win in home opener, rolls past Garfield
By Christopher Duclos
Beaver Nation football supporters came out in full force to watch the Ballard Boys take on the Garfield Bulldogs in their first home game of the season. Fans showed up in the game's theme "White Out" attire, setting the tone for an energetic and explosive home atmosphere.
After a rough 0-3 nonconference start to open the season, the boys from Ballard were hoping to nab their first win in conference play against Garfield.
The scoring began when Johnny Verduin completed a pass to Michael Asefa for a 17-yard touchdown play. Ballard was in complete control of the Bulldogs squad, gaining a total of 48 points in the first half.
Defense chalked up a solid evening as they rendered the Bulldog offense to 0 points in the first three quarters of regulation. Elliot Brockl recorded a big sack while also recovering a Bulldog fumble for a defensive score in the second quarter, putting the Beavers up 34-0. Nate Rauda led the defense in tackles with 8.5. Other notable defensive performances include Justin Simon (4.5 tackles), Jordan McColloch (4.5 tackles), Nathan Leapai (3.5 tackles) and Kyle Ward (3.5 tackles).
The defensive surge was followed by a punt return from Dominique Smith, who took the ball 55 yards for a touchdown. After another Ballard fumble recovery, the half was ended with another Verduin-to-Rauda touchdown pass.
Final score in regulation, 48-15, Beavers.
• A stalwart effort from Ballard receiver Nate Rauda hauled in 3 touchdown passes from Johnny Verduin.
• Running back Dominique Smith had a pair of rushing TD's on offense to help increase the huge Ballard lead in the first half. Defensively Smith picked off a pass from the Bulldog quarterback.
• Tremendous offensive showcase with 252 total offensive yards -- 155 passing, 97 rushing. The defense recorded 3 turnovers -- 2 fumble recoveries and 1 interception -- and did not allow any points until the 4th quarter when Garfield rallied to score 15.

some of us civilians do get it and understand. I will never pump you for information, or ask you to talk about something that you don't want to. But if you want to talk, If you want someones sacrifice to be remembered I will listen, and I will remember. For those of you that don't want to, I understand. I wasn't there, I am unable to go, If I could I would, but it didn't work out (paralyzed in wreck after swearing in). If history is not passed down, people will never learn (not that everyone has that ability to learn). I drew the above as a tattoo. It is a part of me. Every day. Those that do come back bear a heavy burden. I will do everything I can to help carry that load. I feel that it is my responsibility as one who benefits from your protection and service to not let what you did be minimalised, ignored or forgotten. Too many of my generation don't understand what it is to put someone else before yourself, to think of the team as more important than the "I", to put your trust and life in the hands of the man on your left and right, and to be responsible for them at the same time.
to those willing to tell their story or a friends story thankyou, it will be a part of me for the rest of my life. To those unwilling or unable to talk, I'll still buy you a beer, and rest assured that I appreciate your service to our country.
To those that paid for my freedom,
As with all statements I've made and All that I will make, please check your local laws to verify accuracy. (and if i'm wrong let me know as I like to be right in the future) After all I'm just some goofball posting on an internet forum.
Salute All
Fknra Ive always considered anyone who has served my brothers and will never turn away a veteran or service member in need !! Some things are to personal but I will always talk about the military. as far as civilians and Imigrants for that matter, the problems I have had with them in this country is I cant see or understand the ones who would not Love this country with all they are or be willing to lay down there lives to defend another American or the Constitution. Fly the Flag at least on the 4th and also on veterans day and on Memorial day please set a plate and beer on the table for those who didnt make it back and when asked why tell them . dont hate or argue with fellow Americans who dont understand or even flag burners here try to educate them of the sacrifice .. its in your Dna if you are Americans they will understand.
Thats why I enjoy this site so much as it is filled with Patriots served or not.

my avater is part of the reason i feel the way i do.
In my country we don't have a lot of war veterans. But I love to hear war stories. Although I never ask for it. If someone wants to tell you something they do.
But my experience is that the ones that talk a lot have very often not experiences anything. They exaggerate or tell stories that someone else told them.
I think that it is very interesting to read books about warstories. I only read non fiction books.
I have served in Kosovo in 1999-2000 and Liberia 2006. But thats just peacekeeping, not war.
My Dad was a Korean War infantry vet, and he would only tell the "funny" stories to me and my brother while we were growing up, like the time he fell into a manure pit while on patrol in the dark, and had to walk back to his lines at the tail-end of the patrol... After I enlisted and did a tour in the Army in a tank battalion in Germany in the late 70's, he let me read his diary he kept in Korea - and there was very little humor in his year-plus in the 3rd Infantry in Korea...

Somethings are just too funny and not graphic and suitable
as sea stories.
So sometimes to the right person.
Never saw combat, but I know many who have and you can see it in their eyes "you don't want to know what I've seen!" so I don't ask.
I dated a girl who's Step Father was in Pleiku (I forget when) and he volunteered some funny stories about choppers needing to land when they have had their skids ripped off by trees, etc. and a few other stories that I never asked for and will never repeat.
I just salute those who have and those who never made it back, I wear a stainless steel bracelet with the name of a childhood buddy of mine who died in Afghanistan working EOD in '02 (I knew I would destroy the aluminum ones). I love it when people admire my bracelet and then they catch the words on it and I get to tell them of his sacrifice, I always end it with "he served so we didn't have to".

I talk about my experiences with those I think it may help, or enlighten. I still work with troops, and others who may go in harms way, so I see no reason to keep my insights (meager as they may be) to myself. I do not, however, talk about the "bad stuff" with friends and family who have never served and will (thankfully) never fully understand.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
Thats because there aint no point to it.I do not, however, talk about the "bad stuff" with friends and family who have never served and will (thankfully) never fully understand.

I made the mistake of opening up to a boss who had given everyone the impression for 20 years that he was a former Marine. The guy was a fraud. Not only that he told people about some of the things I told him he also said that my PTSD was 'uncontroloble'. It cost me several jobs and some of the so called good ol boys who hadn't had the guts to put on a uniform and get on a hot LZ would epeat the stories. I actually went to a party where some turd was telling one of MY stories.
I was livid and acosted him later and asked him who he heard them from, he replied that it was the best get laid story he had ever heard.
Either they think: well, you they wouldn't understand anyways, so why bother telling it.
They won't believe my stories anyway. I don't want people to think I'm a lier.
I often doesn't share my workstories with other persons outside the force. Like others already have said, they won't understand it anyway. It doesn't need to be a near death situation, it can be regular stories about an arrest or something. If you haven't experienced it, you are not even close to understand it, so why tell it.
When I got home from a tour in Kosovo and Liberia, people just wanted to know if I shot someone. Why bother telling them my stories if they just want to know if I killed someone. They are probably not interested in hearing my stories of people suffering, having nothing to eat, getting raped etc.

Barack Obama covered a lot of ground during his first post-election interview Sunday. The president-elect said he will close Guantanamo and end torture, re-regulate the economy and wait until he's settled before getting his daughters that puppy. Michelle Obama, joining her husband, said she will become an active first lady once her children make the adjustment to their new home.
The president-elect refused to give any details about his Cabinet choices, but acknowledged that he recently met with Hillary Clinton and that he would name at least one Republican.
On the economy, Obama continued his campaign refrain of bipartisan cooperation. He called for more regulation, with this caveat: "But what I don't want to do is get bottled up in a lot of ideology and is this conservative or liberal. My interest is finding something that works. And whether it's coming from FDR or it's coming from Ronald Reagan, if the idea is right for the times, then we're going to apply it. And things that don't work we're going to get rid of."

Wildcats top Eagles 79-70 in Big Sky quarterfinals
March 5, 2011
Box Score (HTML) / (PDF) | Post-Game Press Conferences | Season Stats (HTML) / (PDF)
OGDEN, Utah -- Kyle Bullinger scored a career high 26 points, scoring 13 in each half, leading the Weber State Wildcats to a 79-70 win in the quarterfinal round of the 2011 Banner Health / Big Sky Conference Post-Season Tournament, Saturday night at the Dee Events Center in Ogden, Utah.
The win avenged a 75-59 loss at home to the Eagles on Wednesday (March 2). Had WSU won that game, the Wildcats would have advanced to the Tournament semifinal next Tuesday, March 8 in Greeley, Colorado, but the loss dropped the Wildcats to the #3 seed and were matched against the Eagles who were the #6 seed.
The first half was eerily reminiscent of last Wednesday's game when the Eagles jumped out to a 40-22 half time lead. EWU led 45-33 at the break, getting 22 first half points from guard Cliff Colimon. Colimon was 6-9 from the field, including 5-6 from beyond the arc, and was 5-6 from the line. EWU shot 52 percent from the field (13-25) and 7-9 from long range, while the Wildcats managed just 9-24 (.375). Only a 13-19 performance at the line kept the Eagles from flying away.
EWU's Jeffrey Forbes opened the second half with a three ball, making it 48-33, giving the Eagles their largest lead of the game. The Wildcats regrouped and put together an impressive 18-4 scoring run, six of them coming on two three's from Lindsey Hughey. The 'Cats rallied back to within one at 52-51 with 13:39 left.
Cliff Colimon answered with an old fashion three-point play at the 13:27 mark pushing the lead back up to four. Two minutes later, the Wildcats tied the game on two free throws from Bullinger at 11:46. From that point onward, it became a see-saw battle. The game was tied six different times, the last one coming at 5:56 (67-67) on a free throw from Tremayne Johnson. His second one gave EWU its last lead, 68-67.
The Wildcats took the lead for good on Scott Bamforth's first three-pointer of the game with 5:04 remaining. His second one, with 2:36, capped an 8-0 scoring run giving the 'Cats a 75-68 lead. Bullinger made four straight free throws in the final 48 seconds keeping the Eagles at bay.
Colimon ended the game with 27 points, but just five in the second half. Tremayne Johnson came off the bench to score 17 and Cliff Ederaine added 10. Eastern Washington ends the season with a record of 10-20.
Weber State improves its record to 18-11. The Wildcats are now 15-3 all-time in the quarterfinals of the Big Sky tournament. Helping Bullinger out were Trevor Morris and Scott Bamforth who each scored 13. Lindsey Hughey added 10. After suffering 23 turnovers in last Wednesday's loss to the Eagles, the Wildcats committed just 11 on Saturday and out rebounded the Eagles, 36-30.
The Wildcats now advance to the semifinals next Tuesday, March 8 at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley to face the #2 seed University of Montana Grizzlies. Northern Arizona, the #4 seed, plays Northern Colorado the 2011 Big Sky regular season champion and #1 seed. The WSU/Montana game tips off at 5:30 p.m. (MST) and will be carried LIVE on Altitude TV.

In these seizures, you have epileptic activity in both hemispheres (halves) of your brain. You usually lose consciousness during these types of seizure, but sometimes it can be so brief that no one notices. The muscles in your body may stiffen and/or jerk. You may fall down.
The following is about the different types of generalised seizures. The list includes:
Tonic-clonic seizures
There are two phases in a tonic-clonic seizure: the 'tonic' phase, followed by the 'clonic' phase.
During the tonic phase, you lose consciousness, your body goes stiff, and you fall to the floor. You may cry out.
During the clonic phase, your limbs jerk, you may lose control of your bladder or bowels, bite your tongue or the inside of your cheek, and clench your teeth or jaw. You might stop breathing, or have difficulty breathing, and could go blue around your mouth.
After a tonic-clonic seizure, you might have a headache and feel sore, tired and very unwell. You might feel confused, or have memory problems. You might go into a deep sleep. When you wake up, minutes or hours later, you might still have a headache, feel sore and have aching muscles.
Tonic seizures
The symptoms of a tonic seizure are like the first part of a tonic-clonic seizure. But, in a tonic seizure, you don't go on to have the jerking stage (clonic). You may cry out.
Atonic seizures
Atonic seizures are also called drop attacks. If you have atonic seizures, you will lose all muscle tone and drop heavily to the floor. These seizures are very brief and you will usually be able to get up again straight away. However, you might hurt your face, nose or head when you fall.
Myoclonic seizures
These are usually isolated or short-lasting jerks that can affect some or all of your body. They are usually too short to affect your consciousness. The jerking can be very mild, like a twitch, or it can be very forceful.
Myoclonic seizures often only last for a fraction of a second and you might have a single jerk or clusters of several jerks.
Absence seizures
Absence seizures usually develop in children and adolescents. The two most common types of absence seizure are typical and atypical.
Typical absences
If you are having a typical absence seizure, you will be unconscious for a few seconds. You will stop doing whatever you were doing before it started, but will not fall. You might appear to be daydreaming or 'switching off' or people around you might not notice your absence. You might blink and have slight jerking movements of your body or limbs. In longer absences, you might have some brief, repeated actions. You won't know what is happening around you, and can't be brought out of it.
Some people have hundreds of absences a day. They often have them in clusters, and they are often worse when they are waking up or drifting off to sleep.
Atypical absences
These absences are similar to, but not the same as, typical absences. They last longer. You will have less loss of consciousness, and may have a change in muscle tone. You might be able to move around, but you will be clumsy, and need some guidance and support. You may be able to respond to someone during an atypical absence seizure.
People who have atypical absences usually have learning disabilities, other seizure types, or other conditions that affect their brain.

Best place to install electric fuel pump?
Will the edelbrock fuel pump 1791 work well installed by the engine rather than the fuel tank?
Electric pumps push better than they pull, so the best place for one would be slightly lower than the tank outlet, but close.
Best place is behind fuel tank and lower. Can't always have best... Will it work... Sure...Could it cause problems, Sure...
I was trying to simply state that your quote it correct... and the other placements in incorrect places can lead to problems... that all...
Ok understood. thanks
Lower than the fuel tank and as close to it as possible.
OK so I am going to resurrect an old thread. My 1969 911 has an electric fuel pump mounted in the engine compartment. It is feeding a pair of weber carbs so I am running the fuel pressure at 4psi and it is controlled by an adjustable regulator. This was the factory installation so it has been this way for a long time, it is pulling the fuel through rather than pushing.
I am running into a situation where the fuel pressure will intermittently drop to 1.5 to 2 psi. When this happens my wide band o2 sensor will show AFR greater than 15.6.
I am going to relocate the fuel pump and mount it at the base of the tank and push the fuel through vs pull, which is how it is operating now. I am not sure if my pump is failing, if it is sucking air or vapor locking.
After reading this thread and a few others the general consensus is electric pumps operate better when pushing. I know my car came from the factory with the electric pump pulling but the modern fuel blends may be playing a part in the problem.
OK so now the real question, should I add a return line for the tank while I am at it? Is a return line needed on a carb setup? I assume not since it never had one but best to check first.
After reading lotsa info on this when I put in my electric pump , the consecus was that a 7=8 lb pump running to a 4 lb reg will be OK without the return line. I used a napa pump .
How old is your pump? I was told by an napa old timer that they don't last to long. Maybe you just need a new one.:welcome:

Frozen Orange Juice Versus Concentrate
Types of oranges commonly used to produce this product include tangerine, clementine and sweet orange. Some manufactures may also use orange mutants in the production. For example there is the blood orange which is very popular drink in some countries. Also, some brands may be composed of a mixture of varied types of oranges essential done to come up with a desired flavor or mix. Over the past few years, many companies have been using organic oranges in most of their products.
Health benefits of frozen orange juice are not that much different compared to those of an orange. In fact, some brands surpass the real thing in terms of health benefits due to the additives that are added to them during manufacturing.
