Jesus willingly endured unimaginable depths of sufa fering for his friends. John 13:1 says he loved us to the uttermost. To love to the uttermost is to love freely, without reserve or limit, and without flaw or failure. As we journey with Jesus for eight days a from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday a from triumphal entry, to arrest and trial, to death and burial and triumphant resurrection, we gaze on a Godaman who begrudges no pain or reproach on his pathway to redeem lost sinners. Here is the one who ahumbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a crossa (Philippians 2:8). In Love to the Uttermost: Devotional Readings for Holy Week, John Piper calls you to fix your eyes steadily on Jesus as he loves you to the uttermost. About the Author John Piper is founder and teacher for desiringGod.org. For 35 years, he served as senior pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota. John is the author of more than 50 books, and his sermons and articles are available free online at desiringGod.org.

MIN 305--Evangelism and Missions
3 semester hours (lecture)
Spring Semester 2014
Prerequisites: None
Course Description: The history, principles and methods of New Testament evangelism and its implementation in local and international missions.
Rationale for Course: Mississippi College has as its vision statement to be a university recognized for academic excellence and commitment to the cause of Christ. This general, overarching vision statement combined with the specific call to ministry professed by Christian Studies majors calls for a course that both presents the evangelistic/missional aspect of ministry in an academic way while at the same time preparing students for a marketplace career that fulfills God's calling on their lives.
Outline of Topics to be Covered
The Biblical Basis of Missions
Spiritual Foundations for Ministry and Personal Evangelism
Strategic Issues in Fulfilling the Mission of God
Student Objectives and Outcome
Academic Integrity Statement: Mississippi College students are expected to be scrupulously honest. Dishonesty, such as cheating or plagiarism or furnishing false information, including forgery, alteration or misuse of documents is considered a serious offense punishable by loss of credit and even dismissal. See the Mississippi College Undergraduate Catalog, the Tomahawk, or University Policy 2.19 for more details.
Methods of Instruction: The primary method of instruction will be class lecture and discussion. The professor will supplement class lectures with assigned reading and research projects, guide the student to process and evaluate mission strategies and prepare class presentations. Students are expected to exemplify active listening and positive nonverbal communication behaviors throughout each class period. It is expected that students will read assigned material before topics are covered in class, and reports, research and presentations will be completed on time.
Required Practices: Students are expected to attend class, take notes and actively participate in discussing the topics of assigned reading. Students will be conscientious about fulfilling witnessing assignments, research reports and preparing class presentations. The class will follow policies in the college handbook regarding absences and excessive failure to be present at the beginning of the class period.
Instructional Material
Students will be expected to read assignments from two text books for the course as follows:
and Tal Davis. (TSM Press)
Mike Barnett, ed. (IVP Academic)
Methods of Evaluating Student Progress
Attendance and Class Participation: Students are required to be present in class every day the class meets. Lectures will generally be interactive discussion in which students are expected to participate; students are expected to take systematic notes and will be held responsible for material presented orally in class.
The instructor follows the policy set forth in the College Bulletin. If you find you will miss a class on a day that an assignment is due or an examination is to be given you should call or email the professor in advance, otherwise a grade of "zero" will be given for any graded class activity due on the day of your absence. Arrangements to make up work must be made with the professor. It is the student's responsibility to contact the professor to check on any missed work. If an unannounced daily test is missed due to absence or late arrival, it will not be made up unless the professor is notified a day in advance of class.
Student Responsibilities: The intent of this class goes beyond presenting objective information in order to add to one's body of knowledge. The student will be expected to fulfill reading assignments, reflect critical thinking on an assessment and application of missiological issues in class discussion and through written assignments. Research on an unreached people group, and engaging in and reporting on a practical witnessing encounter will be required. Also, a written paper will be required on "Witnessing to Hostile Worldviews." Students attending the annual Evangelism Lecture Series
Monday, Feb. 3, 6:00-7:00 pm, and Tuesday, Feb. 4, 1:30-2:30 pm will write a report on the lectures; those not attending will write a paper on an assigned topic.
Overall assessment of student progress will be made on the basis of timely fulfilling of assignments and class participation. Students are expected to exhibit personal discipline and reflect genuine interest in class discussion, engaging the professor and fellow students in respectful dialogue. It should be kept in mind that non-verbal communication is significant and can be indicative of non-interest and disrespect.
Reading: Students will be expected to read Bridges and assignments from the primary textbook, Discovering the Mission of God (
DMOG), as assigned in the dated syllabus. There will be a strong biblical content in the class material, and it would be advisable for the student to bring a Bible to class each day.
Grading and Assessment
Grading of tests and assignments will assessed on the following scale:
F Below 65
Final grading for class credit will be proportioned as follows:
25%Final Exam, Tuesday, May 6 (covering material after Mid-Term only)
25%Mid-Term Exam, Thursday, March 6
25%Cumulative score on unannounced daily tests
25%Written Assignments:

Jennifer Lopez & Jason Statham Premiere "Parker" in Las Vegas
Kicking off the weekend a bit early, Jennifer Lopez and Jason Statham showed up at the Sin City premiere of "Parker" last night (January 24).
The "Waiting for Tonight" songstress looked absolutely gorgeous in an ivory halter-style dress and half-up hairdo as she posed for the shutterbugs outside Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.
Meanwhile, Jason seemed quite content to cozy up to Ice-T's woman Nicole "Coco" Austin during the red carpet affair.
Per the synopsis, "Parker" is about "A thief with a unique code of professional ethics who is double-crossed by his crew and left for dead. Assuming a new disguise and forming an unlikely alliance with a woman on the inside, he looks to hijack the score of the crew's latest heist."

Hey guys during my second autocross event I started hearing an exhaust leak. However this one's a bit tricky. It seems that it only comes out when the car is pushed hard and goes away on a cold start.
I went under the car this morning and felt air escaping from the tial external waste gate along with the obvious exhaust noise.
Any hints that could guide me when I pull the tial external wastegate out tomorrow? Again, here are the symptoms that I have found.
Problem: leak from wastegate (felt air comming out of dump tube)
- Comes in when car is warm or pushed hard.
- Goes away during a cold start
- Leak occurs during idle (after warm)
- I'm still hitting boost but I won't be able to log boost until tommorow.
mods would probably be helpfull...
*Grimmspeed tial 38mm v-band wastegate kit
*Invidia tbe
Any leads would be helpfull. Thank you in advance if I don't get a chance to thank you guys

Will Chinese Firm Bring Home The Bacon With Smithfield Deal?
By Mark Goldberg On May 30, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Agriculture, Food, National Public Radio
There were questions Wednesday if U.S. regulators will approve the takeover of Smithfield Foods Inc., the company that sells all-American hams, hot dogs and bacon, by China's Shuanghui International.
It's being called the biggest such takeover of an American company by a Chinese firm. Already, Wall Street traders were bullish on the plan, sending the company's stock price up. Industry experts said it will increase exports to the burgeoning Chinese market.
"This does have the potential to increase U.S. pork exports to China, which would benefit all U.S. pork producers," said Dave Warner, director of communications for the National Pork Producers Council.
Impact On Industry
Dan Norcini, an independent commodities trader, said market reaction suggests the deal will be approved. But he had questions about the long-term impact on the pork industry. Shuanghui could ratchet up production to feed the growing demand for meat in China, Norcini said.
"If the Chinese come to own Smithfield, will Smithfield be at the dictates of its Chinese owner? Or will they let market forces determine whether they are going to expand their herd size or not?" he said. "That's the big question because it could impact the rest of the industry."
Larry Pope, Smithfield chief executive, said the deal won't change how the company does business. Its headquarters will remain in Smithfield, Va., he said, and there will be no changes to the 46,000-person workforce.
"It will be business as usual — only better — at Smithfield," Pope said in a statement. "We do not anticipate any changes in how we do business operationally in the United States and throughout the world."
Criticism Of Deal
The deal must still be approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a move that could be hindered by Shuanghui's involvement in a 2011 scandal that involved feeding a dangerous additive to pigs set for slaughter.
Elizabeth Holmes, a staff attorney at the Center for Food Safety, says U.S. regulators should take a hard look at the deal.
"They're supposed to identify and address any national security concerns that would arise," she said of the committee. "I can't imagine how something like public health or environmental pollution couldn't be potentially construed as a national security concern."
Environmental groups were quick to criticize the deal, too, citing the growing globalization of vertically integrated or factory farming.
Wenonah Hauter, executive director of Food & Water Watch, called it "birth of a cross-border bacon behemoth."
"Merger mania in the meat industry in recent decades has led to more factory farms in the U.S., with 95 percent of hogs now raised in operations of over 2,000 animals," she said. "We may export the pork, but we keep millions of gallons on manure right here in U.S. hog raising communities in North Carolina and Iowa."
Local Reaction
When the global news of the Smithfield sale bubbled up down at The Local Pig, a small butcher shop in Kansas City, Mo., it was met with a shrug and another order straight from the meat case, wrapped up in white paper.
The Local Pig is the antithesis of the huge Smithfield operations, where more than 16 million animals are slaughtered every year. Alex Pope, owner of The Local Pig, says he hopes consumers take the Smithfield news as a wakeup call and that they read the label on that package of Smithfield bacon.
"That's the first step in saying, 'I don't want to be a part of that. I want an option. I would like to go to a small local producer, at a farmers market, or at a locally sourced butcher shop and buy that bacon,'" he said. "Ask them where it came from, where the pigs were raised and how they were treated. If it can spur something like that, it would be really great."
If the Smithfield-Shuanghui deal doesn't go through, the company reportedly has two other suitors standing by. Bloomberg reported Wednesday that another Asian company and one from Brazil were preparing bids for Smithfield when the deal was announced.

The fight over the European single currency is likely to last for
years, waged by opposing packs of hardened political animals.
Somehow, Neil Mendoza, the marketing director of New Europe, a group
established to fight the introduction of the single currency, doesn't
seem embittered enough to get involved. But, as he explains, New Europe
isn't the bunch of 'crazy, swivel-eyed frothing-at-the-mouth Tories'
you'd expect.
Mendoza, who made his fortune as co-owner of contract publisher Forward,
became involved with the group at the suggestion of Mary Ann Sieghart,
deputy editor of The Times and New Europe council member.
Mendoza, 39, is a close friend of Sieghart, who is the sister of his
business partner William Sieghart. He says he he has never been involved
in politics but accepted the role in New Europe because he feels a
'powerful, emotional, visceral response against the single currency'.
Blair's government angers him: 'In their hearts they are against the
single currency but they have to present a united front with their new
friends in Europe.'
He describes New Europe as left of centre and is himself a floating
At the last election he voted Conservative, but is keen to present the
single currency as a national, rather than a party-political, issue. New
Europe isn't opposed to the European Union as such, but opposes the
single currency on economic and cultural grounds.
With its broadly pro-European stance, New Europe differs from groups
such as the Democracy Movement - the renamed Referendum Party - which
campaigns bitterly against Europe from a hard right-wing
New Europe claims to be cross-party and was formed by three grandees
from across the main parties - Lord Owen, Lord Healey and Lord
It is supported by powerful figures such as Lord Sainsbury and former
Barclays chief Martin Taylor, and is funded by individual subscriptions
from members.
It's a powerful bringing together of the great and the good, but is it
capable of countering New Labour's slick PR and spin machine, which has
yet to be put into gear to sell the euro to the British public? Last
year's euro ads for UK businesses, through TBWA, represented part of the
COI's record adspend, up 79% to pounds 105.4m.
Mendoza concedes that it will be difficult to get a complex message
across to the public ahead of any referendum on single currency, partly
due to general voter apathy.
'We've decided that it's going to be a long game. It's unclear when the
referendum will be called. Right now, public opinion is against the
single currency but, if Labour is elected again, who knows what might
Mendoza says he is looking at various agencies for ideas to target
different audiences. Ahead of a referendum, this may mean lobbying the
100 or so decision- makers who will advise Blair on when to call a
referendum. Once this is called, a full-scale ad campaign may be waged.
However, spending on an anti-euro campaign in the year ahead of a
referendum will be capped at pounds 5m.
While Mendoza is not a classically trained marketer - he is a banker
turned entrepreneur - he possesses the right instincts to lead the New
Europe marketing effort. He freely admits that he 'knew nothing about
marketing' when joining Forward in 1987 but his business moves since,
including the launch last year of Brilliant Books, which now supplies
over one million books to Tesco, have displayed his ability to spot a
marketing opportunity.
Forward is 50% owned by the Saatchi brothers, Maurice and Charles.
Mendoza is also involved in another venture with Charles, who has put up
the money to revive the Hammer film brand, with plans to update the
genre, which produced such blood-curdling classics as the Curse of
Frankenstein and the Bride of Dracula.
In his early career, Mendoza worked as a Hollywood wheeler dealer,
raising cash to fund films such as Nightmare on Elm Street and the Bond
film Never Say Never Again. His own cultural tastes are higher-brow - he
was once a director of the European Chamber Opera.
Business partner Sieghart describes him as 'a renaissance man in his
love of art, theatre and opera, but he also has a good natural
This focus is usually on money. He is so obsessed with investments and
speculation that at one point he tells me he wishes he could buy shares
in people: 'It's easy to spot when you're young who will make money.
It's a shame you can't buy shares in them and sell if they start to
But Mendoza is not completely obsessed. He is described as 'well
balanced' by his friends and business associates. This balance has been
achieved, he says, because he is settled into a happy marriage with two
young children with whom he can now afford to spend a large amount of
But New Europe looks set to take up more of Mendoza's time. He and
fellow New Europe marketer, Steve Hilton - who worked on Tory campaigns
at M&C Saatchi for the past two elections - are busy trying to address
how best to put people off the single currency. Don't be surprised if
some of Hammer's horrors are wheeled out to symbolise that monetary
monster, the euro.

421 SBC not making power
New to site need help please!!! I have built several motors for fun over my life but never anything like this. I built a 421 SBC with 18 degree Brodix heads and matching intake. Bottum end is strong with all good parts. Solid roller custom grind cam.
Problem is is falls on its face in 2nd gear. 1st gear will bust the 7000 chip but 2nd gear feels like its running out of gas. Ive changed pump twice and im running half inch line from fuel cell to regulator.
Im starting to think its in the distributor. Any ides?
Need more specs.
What carb?
What cam & specs?
What fuel pump?
What ignition system?
Welcome to the board:thumbup:
Maybe it is running out of fuel so to speak, check your float levels and fuel pressure. Could be first gear is strong with enough fuel to be happy, by 2nd gear the bowls are starving? Just a thought. Any chance acceleration is pulling fuel away from the jets?
Have you tried bowl extensions? the 421 needs fuel,,,lots.
I used 1/2 line and a nascar style fuel pump.
Haven't tried those yet but I am running 1/2 line.
Re: 1/2 inch line? did you drop the tank and make the pick up bigger too?
Have you tried just slowly accelerating in second and hammering it after 4k to see if it revs to redline?
your engine will use 50 gallons per hour at WOT (depending on HP) that has to be delivered through the small #10 AN fitting or holley fitting,,,w/e you use to fill carb bowls
I am running a fuel cell that came with an 8n outlet. From a dead stop it will bow the tires off and bust the 7000 chip. Go to 2nd and nothing. Yes I can run down the road in second roll into it and its flat.
Does it stay flat or does it start to take off once you have enough rev's on it?
Is the fuel cell properly vented?Im grasping at straws,,,,try driving it with the cap off?
Yea tried that too left vent off
i would start simple and check vacuum first, then check your timing and total timing. make sure your timing advance is working
What kind of tranny?
you didn't say. but a few things,
1) is the pump an electric near the fuel cell?
2)if the pump is an engine mounted mechanical. thats problem #1
3) what type regulator, deadhead or return style?
here is why..
1) an engine mounted pump has to pull the fuel and pump it to the carb.. 1/2 fuel line has a lot of fuel to try to suck forward..
if using a deadhead regulator with no return line, the fuel stops when the psi is reached, then when your engine wants more fuel the pump has to get all that fuel to start moving.. at 1/2" in size thats a tall order for a mechanical pump.. and even most electric untill you get to race style pumps.. psi means nothing, volume is where it's at with that big a line..
like said, jet ex. and do you have a fuel pressure gauge hooked up between the regulator and carb?
also if electric pump, is it getting full voltage, a pump that surply that much fuel will draw lottsa amps.. it needs a large power feed or when the amp draw goes up. the voltage will drop.. and the pump won't keep up..
need more info.. but I'd look squarely at the pump and if electric the wiring feeding it..
if a deadhead regulator take it off, and sell it to the next guy with more of a stocker type build.. as you need that volume in the line to be moving at all times, because when you need it, starting to move that much fuel from a standing stop is a tall order for even the best pumps.. and pumps that push that much fuel will burn up with fuel not moving through it..
Since we are on the subject of fuel pumps and "IF" it is electric, where is the pump mounted? If it's mounted in the engine compartment, that's the incorrect location. Electric pumps have very little suction, they are meant to push the fuel, not pull. It needs to be mounted as close to the fuel cell as possible.
Yes it is electric and I have a 10 gauge wire ran to it. I have it ran through a relay off the switch. It's approx. 4 feet from the fuel cell under the truck.
Now the return line issue is very interesting. I am running a deadhead style regulator to the carb. I have 3/8 lines from each side of the regulator to each bowl but no return. I do have a pressure gauge inline and I'm on 7-8 psi.
I wasn't aware that the electric pumps stop after reaching pressure so to speak.

Does any know where I get a bar to replace the level wind on this reel?
Hatteras Jacks sells them.
Or you can get a CT frame for it at Hatteras Outfitters
do you know if you can use the CT frame from hatteras with a left handed Abu?
I dont think the frame has anything to do with a the retrieve.
You will need to remove the thumbar, if it is a thumbar release, into a push button release, which isnt really hard to do. 10 minutes with a dremmel and a small file.
Ah contraie. You cannot use a right handed ct frame on a left handed reel. The brakeplate would not fit properly. The threads for the left side plate would also be different.
Check with HJ or Tres at HO. I would assume that one or the other will have the conversion bars, if not a left handed ct frame.
The threaded ends are on the wrong side.
QTC make left handed cages. They are not cheap though.
Thanks for the verification Led. For once, it seems I got it right.
Question where is your spool bearing (Left), it look like your mag adjustment is in the spot???
Or is that knob not a mag adjustment? But a spool tensioner knob?
Led were did you get the mag setup? I am trying to figure out the different parts one would use to make one and were to buy at.
Fish Hunter - the threads on both the studs and the tapped sleeves are 'left handed'.
Orest - the black knob past the end tension knob is my mag adjuster. The reel retains the ability to move the spool across the cage.
Seajay - what you see is something that one of my fishing buddies made for me back in 1996/7, he was a computer component engineer - Joe Gibson-Moore. He also had a part in the design of the Penn 525 Mag prototype, Neil Mackellow went on to use one at Baytown Texas in September 1998.
A picture paints a 1000 words.
to be purchased??
Like what are 2 brass pin for, that are opposite of each other. I can see they come out of the side plate and look like they slotted for adjustment.
Joe no longer makes these
The 2 brass pins are there to ensure that the mag carrier stays parallel to the spool face.
Joe made a total of 20 of these units, I have 3 of them - Conn Leahy (NJ) has one.
If you dont mind me asking Led, and this may sound dumb.
But what do you guys catch in england?
I always see alot of tricked out supped up abus, and I have absolutely no clue what in the heck ya'll fish for.
I meet Conn a couple of years ago at the SCUSA National's in Crisifield, MD.
To bad am not a machinist.
The "poor man solution" to replace the level wind (if you can live with the top bar still at place) is to remove the idler gear (#5152) from the left side plate and the line carrier from the levelvind (leaving the worm gear and worm guard attached on the frame with the worm gear lock just to secure that the frame keeps it straightness)
Without the idler gear the spool will not be slowed down by the level wind. The idler gear can easily be attached again if one wants to use the level wind again, just get youre self a c-lock (#4490) to hold it at place if youre reel didnt come with it out of the box.
We catch fish - not big by your standards, but fish. Cod & Whiting in the winter, Plaice, Flounder in the spring, Bass, Mackerel, Smoothhonds, rays, pollack int he summer/autumn.
We also have terrain that looks like moon-scape too - not very friendly in a raging sea.
You are correct, in that you see a lot of tricked out tackle from the UK - which is often requested by your fellow anglers.
Internet chat rooms are agreat medium for finding out information.
I have two of them , one is identical to the blue elite you show and the other is a 6500 ct black on a green 5500D frame rehashed into a 5500 size reel .Still one of the best conversions I have seen ....

My education at Taylor's provided me with a solid foundation in pursuing a career in the hospitality industry. Being a Maldivian, my internship experience at Carcosa Sri Negara, Kuala Lumpur provided me with valuable insight and exposure of what it feels like to work in a foreign culture.
Work hard, it pays off. Get your basics absolutely right. Improve your communication skills. Learn to smile at and greet strangers. Read, read and read. Industrial training is the only place to learn the real operations before starting your real job. Acquire critical thinking.
His career in hospitality has given him opportunities to travel all around the world and discover new cultures and new ways of living. This French native has visited countries, such as England, Scotland, the USA, Egypt and Cuba and met a fair share of celebrities, namely Bono, Madonna, Pink and The Corrs.
What I love most about life:Having friends means everything to me – friends I can share my life with, friends I can have fun with, friends who like the same things I do and friends who are always there when I need a shoulder to lean on.
Studying at Taylor's was a great experience. I graduated equipped with the right knowledge, skills and attitude ready to take on the working world. My Degree provided me with a platform to establish a career in Asia – it opened my mind on the ways in which the Asian market and its people works.
To indulge in his love for traveling, Brian Lee chose to pursue a career in tourism. As assistant sales manager at Malaysia Harmony Tourism, he promotes and sells tour packages and manages trips for many companies and organizations. The highlight of his career was leading a group of 500 people to Istanbul, Turkey.
My most memorable experience in Taylor's was that I almost burnt my hand while operating the conventional oven and stove during my cuisine practical exam. Phew…luckily!
Director of Sales and MarketingSheraton Xian HotelChinaYear of Graduation: 1994
Working in a hotel that attracts tourists from all over the world, Desmond enjoys meeting them and learning about their culture. It's also part of the job that he has to deal with all kinds of issues and requests from his guests. "I remember one day where a guest succumbed to some mental disorder and went crazy. Her friends were terrified of her so I stepped in, tried to calm her down and called for the resident doctor. Oh his advice, I sent her to the nearest hospital." This is just one of the many incidents Desmond encounters on a daily basis. It is no surprise then that Desmond counts solving problems as his forte.
Gayana Eco Resort & Bunga Raya Island Resort and SpaKota KinabaluYear of Graduation: 2001
The importance of an education:It teaches you very important fundamentals. With a strong foundation plus a good attitude, you will survive and succeed in the working world
"I'm a person who needs to move around a lot. I can't even sit down for an hour. I saw the hospitality industry as ideal for the type of person I am so I decided to go for it." Since then, she has never looked back.
Working within the Airlines industry has given me the opportunity to see the world, and even rub shoulders with famous people! My Hospitality & Tourism degree provided me with the perfect foundation towards an exciting career path.
I chose to pursue a career in the Hospitality & Tourism industry because I enjoy communicating with guests and satisfying their needs and requests.
When I was still studying in Taylor's College, I used to remember that the lecturers are very strict but I still managed to overcome the difficulties by being strong. Later, when I started working, only then I realized that the importance of being strong to overcome difficulties in my career. Further to that, I felt the relevance of Taylor's College syllabus in the working environment and that really helps me a lot.
"Understanding trends, fashion, style and class comes as part of this career but no degree can educate you on this. It has to come naturally as part of who you are and where your interest lies," she says.
My education at Taylor's helped me to build up my self confidence especially through the practical lessons.
Unforgettable moment at work:I used to handle the omelet station during breakfast service and became quite skilled at making omelets. I would receive many positive comment cards from my guests and I remember one specifically calling me "Omelet King".
Sharing your knowledge is very important. But in order to do so, we need to be aware of things that we do not know yet, to be curious towards the unknown, and to learn what is unknown. It is in this process of learning that we will meet new friends and get in touch with old friends
What is your motivation to remain in your chosen career?Most importantly, it is the social aspect of the job – being able to meet people daily, whether it is my clients, suppliers, staff, etc. I also find it a challenge to exceed my customers' expectations and take pride in grooming and training my staff to make an impact in the business.
He's glad to have met some important people along the way, such as former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammad, recently retired F1 Driver Michael Schumacher and Ferrari F1 Team Manager Jean Todt. Working as a restaurant manager has affected his personality and character in a positive way. Max shares: "I've become more of an extrovert and developed confidence to voice my opinions and offer others constructive criticism."
Muneswaran believes that a good life means having a balanced life so he takes time out to play as well. He reads, relaxes by the beach, swims and plays football. His perfect weekend is taking a stroll on the beach with his wife and enjoying the sea breeze. His last getaway was a "cool experience". He and his wife spent two weeks island hopping in the Greek Islands.
My best memory at Taylor's was when we threw a surprise birthday party with my friends for one of our lecturers called Mr. Thum (then the F&B practical lecturer).
Unforgettable college memory:The time I stabbed myself in the leg with a kitchen knife. I had just received a new knife set for kitchen practical. I had no idea it was so sharp that it cut through by bag. When I placed the bag on my leg, I cut my leg real bad and tons of blood started oozing out and flowing down my leg as I walked to the clinic. I got six stitches for it and the scar is still there to remind me of how I stabbed myself.
Fondest college memory:Definitely the two-week study tour to France. It was the first time our whole class – there were 40 of us - got to travel together and during the trip we became very close.
SHAWNA CHONGRestaurant Manager El Cerdo Restaurant MalaysiaYear of Graduation: 2007
The best take-away I got from TCHT was to always think outside of the box, and that is exactly how I stay competitive in my line of duty.
Shawna who has since the tender age of 20, worked her way up from a Demi Chef de Rang to a Restaurant Manager is a great believer in self-improvement and lifelong learning.
Fondest college memory:I was a tourism student and we used to go on many trips. The best one was the international tour to Egypt. At the time, it was the furthest trip taken by any group so we got plenty of attention. When we returned, we had to give many presentations about our experience
Fondest college memory:Our regional study tour to Cambodia. Fifteen of us tourism students organised the entire trip for 4D/3N. It was a valuable learning experience and a whole lot of fun as we went sightseeing, shopping and ate a lot.
I chose this field because it really suited my outgoing personality and offered me an opportunity to see more of the world.
A case in point, Senior Sales Manager of Mandarin Oriental Singapore, Wesley Pey reveals that he is often inspired when he meets people from all walks of life on his job, "People and their knowledge and life stories can be inspiring. Being in a position where I get to meet people of all ages and from different backgrounds is exciting! It is also the most enjoyable bit of my job, and what's more, when I get recognised for a job well done, many of my clients eventually become my friends," he shares.
She is proud of the privilege to share an office with the Korean Ambassador. She says: "I hope that my contribution in the embassy would play a role in further strengthening the relationship between Malaysia and South Korea. I count it an honor to be able to share my knowledge and views with the Ambassador and many other distinguished people. "
What I love most about life:"My profession has built up my confidence and taught me that good things don't come easy. You have to work hard for the finer things in life," Alex says. He hopes the skills and experiences he's gained in the industry will lead him towards his goal of becoming a successful businessman. "I dream of setting up my own restaurant and each month, looking at excellent sales reports!"
Director of HRShangri-La International Hong Kong Year of Graduation: 1989 (First Graduating Class)
As we were in the first batch, many things were on trial basis however, it provided a good theoretical foundation as it was quite challenging back then….and of course, it is those challenges that keep you going.
Studying at Taylor's gave me plenty of memorable experiences – it ranges from meeting great people to acquiring valuable knowledge and skills. If you dream about being a successful hotelier, the hospitality programme at Taylor's will definitely set a pathway for you.
My most memorable experience in Taylor's was receiving constructive remarks from an external examiner during the presentation of my final-year degree project.
Education provided me the basics to be confident in my work and to think and execute tasks sensibly and rationally.
Taylor's provides a good education. A lot of people know about Taylor's and they know it has a certain standard. In fact, it is because I'm an alumnus of Taylor's that I was considered for my current job at The Datai. They were looking preferably for a Taylor's graduate with a French background.

When asked about his fondest memories, back when he was a student at Taylor's, Chua shares, "My best and most memorable school days will always be what I had experienced at HCIMC. Every single day spent with my lecturers and friends were priceless! It has helped made me who I am today". Chua recalls.
His job has given him opportunities to travel to places, such as China, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Australia, Fiji, New Caledonia and Vanuatu. Along the way, he's met Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Prime Minister Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, renowned footballer David Beckham and Hong Kong star Aaron Kwok. Working with so many different people and personalities has also helped him discover the beauty in every individual.
Fondest college memory:It was during my industrial training at a Langkawi resort. It was one of the best times of my life. Ten of us went there together and it was our first real exposure to the industry. We worked hard and we also played hard. On the last night of training, we managed to trick one of the chefs to sign the bill for many of our drinks!
How this profession has changed my life:It has taught me how to deal with all kinds of people and the importance of being humble and open to learning from others
ERIC LOWELLExecutive ChefPorto RestaurantIndonesiaYear of Graduation: 2008
'It was truly meant to be, simply because once I started at TCHT, I fell in love with F&B. The more I studied, the more I loved it! I also had great lecturers and friends who helped made me who I am today. My doubts and questions were never left unanswered. I am thankful to have been under the guidance of Chef Bala, Chef Karam, Chef Patrick, Chef Chong, Mr. Murad, Puan Siti and Mr. Alex," he shares, in reminiscent of the good old days at TCHT.
Why I chose the hospitality industry:It was actually quite by chance that I found what I liked. After I finished secondary school, I didn't know what to do. So I followed my friend to work at Club Med, Cherating and it was there I learned about the hospitality industry and got excited about it because Club Med was such a fun resort to work at. When my friend decided to study hospitality, I joined him.
Operations ManagerTamimi Global Co. LtdSaudi ArabiaYear of Graduation: 2011
Gerard who enjoys taking initiative and giving his all in everything he does, reminisces about the good old university days when he was elected as the Student Council President, "I remember being the initiator and pioneer of 'Formal Wear Day' - where all diploma and degree students were required to wear a suit to college every Monday and Wednesday. I also got involved in organising camping trips, sports days and I was one of the lucky one who lead a catering team at one of Alliance Francaise events!"
I enjoy travelling to different places to relax, gain new experiences, learn about different cultures and acquire new inspiration for personal development.
My education with Taylor's College helped me to move one step faster to achieve my goals. It really makes a difference today to have a paper qualification.
Sheer passion drives Keith to excel in everything the undertakes, from the everyday tasks such as reading to the more demanding ones such as creative solutions.
My education contributed to my success as it helped me to better understand what hospitality management is all about in more depth, which I can now apply in my working environment.
He's had numerous tasks and projects throughout his career, but the most unforgettable one was the 1996 Junior Olympics in Moscow. Leonard was part of the catering team in charge of preparing food for the entire Olympic Village of about 8,000 athletes and staff.
She believes in always innovating new ideas in whatever she undertakes.

Early Saturday morning at the Sydney Manga and Anime Show!, SMASH!, held in Rose Hill Gardens in Sydneys west, Kotono Mitsuishi took to the stage in a crowded panel for a Questions and Answers segment. In this panel she talked about her career, herself and also participated in a few segments of live-dubbing. These questions came from the anchor of the show, but at the end, the field was also open to questions from members of the audience.
The questions asked by the anchor started out fairly general in nature, such as asking if it was Kotono's first time being in Australia before. She answered that it was, and that even though she wanted to visit Uluru, that she was actually staying in Sydney this time around.
"Yes,this is my first time in Australia.
I wanted to go to Uluru but I'll stay in Sydney this time."
After the initial greetings, it was time for the first live-dubbing segment. This segment was based around the first episode of Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon, or Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, of the original 1990's run of the series. The scene chosen was when she transforms for the first time using the Moon Prism Make-up command and goes into battle with the demon lady in the jewellery store. Kotono's performance was so spot on that it had the audience erupting in cheers.
One of the questions she was asked was in regards to what she wanted to do when she was younger and if acting was always something that she wanted to do. What was interesting was how she mentioned that she was inspired by a radio broadcast when she was younger and joined the broadcasting club at her school, which is where things were set into motion. She also mentioned that she originally wanted to go into childcare, but, because of Japans declining birth-rate, this was something that didn't seem feasible at all.
"[…]When I was in preschool I wanted to be a teacher. When I was in highschool I had a think about how there aren't many kids — which is a problem.[…]"
The following live-dubbing segment was the one from Kidou Senshi Gundam SEED, and it was the scene where Merrue has a bit of a go at Flay. The scene ends with an emotional scene from one of the blonde haired crew members. It was a very versatile scene which Kotono could show her skills off, based on her voice acting range. It went from having an impact, to being a bit more tender. Very well done.
After talking about wanting her name to appear on TV as a main character and live-dubbing a One Piece scene, Kotono was asked a question that was relevant to our interests, it was a question about the differences in recording for video games and anime. Her answer was interesting and it reflects differences in the development of different forms of media that incorporate the same aspects in production. In comparison to the more welcoming and reactive recording of anime, gaming seems much more cold and secluded.
"What's difficult is when recording for games. Unlike animation, where you have someone reacting to you, games you have to record by yourself. So it's challenging not having those reactions."
The final live-dub was easily the most intense scene out of all of the anime shown so far. It was Kotono reprising her role as Misato Katsuragi from Neon Genesis Evangelion. It was the first episode in the scene where Shinji launches in Evangelion Unit 01 to fight the first Angel. In this scene, Kotono/Misato is acting as a commander to Shinji. There is a lot of shouting and a lot of concern shown and Kotono did a great job keeping up with the intensity of the scene. This was easily our favourite of the live-dubs here at Attack On Gaming.
Overall Kotono Mitsuishi's panel was a lot of fun and very informative. Kotono showed a lot of character, both in-character and out-of-character. We hope that she comes back for future events!

Living here in Western New York – we've all seen them. They come in various sizes and are a pretty solid indicator that Winter has indeed arrived. But why do some houses have them and others don't? Could this mean that they aren't necessarily a good thing?
Well, it isn't the icicles themselves that are the bad indicator. Experts say that icicles are a byproduct of an "ice dam," a buildup of ice on the roof along the overhang, or eave (the part of the roof that extends beyond the exterior wall). But what causes an ice dam? Loss of energy from inside the house! Ice damming could also lead to other problems with the roof and inside the attic as well. How exactly does the heat from inside the house cause them though? Ice dams form when the upper part of the roof is warm enough to melt snow and the eaves are cold enough to freeze the runoff into icicles. What typically causes a roof to be warm is air from inside the house seeping into the attic and heating it up. When water from melting snow gets to the cold spot where the eaves begin, it re-freezes and creates a dam, and then a pool of water accumulates behind it. From there, as the pool of water builds up it can either go down to form the beautiful icicles or up, pushing up shingles and exposing the roof to the elements.
One way to prevent them is to rake the snow off of your roof. Of course that is pretty dangerous, cold, and you will have to do it each time it snows. There are many other solutions as well such as putting heat tape on your eaves so that when it will heat up and melt the ice and keep it moving to the ground. You can also have a professional check on the insulation in your attic or for cracks that might be allowing the warm air to the roof. For either of those check out some of our Home Service Partners!

In case there aren't enough things on the Internet to distract you from what you really should be doing, the people at Teehan+Lax Labs have something for you. They've developed a free tool called the Google Street View Hyperlapse, which allows you to create your own hyperlapse videos using Google Street View images. Basically, you pick a path between two points on a Google map, and another point on the map to focus on during the trip between point A and point B. The tool allows you change focus as you travel between the points (and you can also change your viewing perspecitive as you normally can in Street View). They've even made the code available on GitHub, if you'd like to tinker with it further.
It's pretty cool.
The Teehan+Law folks have created a few fun examples, such as traversing New York City's Manhattan Bridge, driving past a power plant in South Africa or cruising through the Florida keys. Other people are also using it to create some interesting hyperlapses. Over at the Sport Techie, they created hyperlapses around all 30 MLB stadiums.
Inspired by this, I went ahead and created some hyperlapses around the headquarters and birthplaces of some famous technology companies. I also shot Vine videos to give you a flavor for the hyperlapses, but I encourage you to click through to play with them yourselves (note, though, that they recommend viewing in Google Chrome for best results):
Since this is all based on Google data, let's start by looking at Google headquarters in Mountain View, California.

Im loooking for 1 woman, between the ages of 18-45, that would like steady assistance, who would be interested in a mutually beneficial relationship. I guess you can call it a sugar daddy, but its ok if you're close to my age as well LOL... Ideally id like to meet once per week. I also feel that there needs to be some chemistry and friendship and respect for this type of relationship to work. I left the age range wide because i dont care so much about the age as i do the chemistry. But please be attractive and fun. Let me know a little about you and please be real. If you have a photo that would be great. I look foward to hearing from you.

Groundbreaking is tentatively set for this spring to get construction going on a new auto repair facility that offers affordable or free vehicle repairs to low income and homeless families. The plans have been worked out and are ready to be put into action for this new and one-of-a-kind addition to Pierce County's social services being coordinated by Wendell Wilson, program manager of Network-Tacoma's Community Garage at 1611 S. Chandler St.
Wilson secured a $139,000 Pierce County Community Block Grant to build the new garage at 1635 S. Center St. in Tacoma, which will be a two-story building - an auto repair shop on the bottom and storage space and an office on top. A building permit was submitted to the city earlier this month.
Milgard Foundation gave $10,000 toward the project. Combined with funds from private donors and Network-Tacoma's own coffers, Wilson was able to hire architects and engineers to get plans drawn up. The next step: contractor bids are due Jan. 5. He's planning for the groundbreaking to be next May or June, with the grand opening next fall. "Definitely we'll have the new building operating by January 2009."
This auto repair concept to benefit those in need began within Network-Tacoma's transitional housing program called One Family At A Time. The program facilitates families with children to leave homelessness using a three-step process: screening, crisis intervention and long-term planning for basic necessities like a car. Only families with children under 18 are accepted, and the adults must show a demonstrated effort to be self-motivated for a hand-up rather than a handout, according to Network-Tacoma's mission statement.
To help Network-Tacoma's clients become self-sufficient, Wilson began the Community Garage program in 1997, about four years after he and wife Connie Wilson assumed leadership of Network-Tacoma, a non-profit, non-denominational Washington corporation founded by Bob Weyrick that has been serving the greater Tacoma area since 1993.
Working in the small garage on South Chandler, Wilson and head mechanic Roger LaCelle, who is recently retired from his own auto shop he operated for many years, have repaired many donated cars, the majority of which were given to families working to get their lives in order through One Family At A Time and other agencies that assist homeless families with children.
"In that two years our goal is to help them be self-sufficient - help them get a job, get their kids in school," Wilson said. "Once you get a job, things fall together, but there are other major issues and one of them is that not much works if you don't have a car."
People need their cars, Wilson stated, and they need them dependable. "They'll lose their job if they don't show up for work. Think about how many single women there are who have to take their kids to daycare or go to the grocery store. To do that on the bus is virtually impossible. You're not independent unless you have a car."
So, Wilson and LaCelle provide the car and the first month's insurance to eligible families in Network-Tacoma's transitional housing program. Once the new Community Garage is up and running, repair services at reduced rates based on sliding-scale income will be offered to all low-income car owners in Pierce County, including those referred to Community Garage from other agencies. Clients also get a free car clinic, instruction on basic upkeep and troubleshooting to keep their new wheels dependable.
"The big mission is to help everyone who needs it. Can we? Probably not, but we're going to try," Wilson said. "We're starting off very small with a couple mechanics. Priority will be given to those who are most desperate.
"We became the only garage of this type, maybe in the state, to have their own full-time mechanic on staff," Wilson remarked. LaCelle also handles property management duties for the transitional housing units. There are currently two families living in Network-Tacoma housing.
Other social service agencies in Pierce County began to take notice of the Community Garage, leading Wilson to start looking into how to service their clients as well. Thus the idea was born to find funding and build a larger and better-equipped garage.
Wilson said the new Community Garage will be a big success only with help from auto repair shops and towing companies looking to do something nice for others (and receive a tax deduction as well). He's coordinating a countywide effort to find them. "There's a limited amount we can do at our agency right now," Wilson said, mainly because the current garage is small and it's just LaCelle, his son, and part-time volunteer mechanic Don Riggs doing all the work.
"We need two things - we need donated cars and we need people in the automobile business, like towing companies that would give us a call and say they'll tow a car to our shop once a month."
The same goes with repair shops. Wilson is actively seeking those that will offer free or reduced rates to repair cars. And, of course, mechanics looking to volunteer their skills at the Community Garage are always welcome. "With this new building we'll be able to do more, and to have volunteer mechanics we may be able to even open on weekends."
Wilson said some donated cars would be sold to help with operating costs. Others will be fixed up ready to be sold to low-income workers and job hunters through Tacoma Goodwill's Wheels to Work program. The city of Tacoma donated a fleet of eight cars to the program, all of which are being renewed under the capable hands of LaCelle.
Partnering with other social service agencies is key to Network-Tacoma's mission, Wilson said. He's notified about 60 agencies about the garage project.
"This is going to be a big year for us," said Wilson.

Disaster Response Team Practices in UF Football Stadium
University of Florida students may have caught a glimpse of something a little unusual today (June 5) if they passed Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
Some visitors were rappelling from about 60 feet above.
The ASPCA Disaster Response Team did some training exercises in Gainesville today using animal rescue techniques. First, weights were slowly lowered and lifted for practice. Next, it was time for team members to get strapped in.
Some anxiety could be seen in the rappellers' eyes.
From the stadium, the team headed out to Lake Wauburg with the Florida Agricultural Response Team to simulate rescuing horses from water.
More simulations and practices will take place later this weekend, and one will include lowering some of these team members into a 25-foot sink hole.

Sorry about that. Send us an email at email@example.com with pictures if you can, and we'll take care of you.
I've received mine - Men's L - and while I haven't washed it yet, my cat is black as black can be. The registration may be the tiniest bit off - there's a very narrow green line around parts of the cat - but it's invisible from less than a foot away. Anybody who comes closer to me than that to look at the shirt is going to get smacked, anyhow.
Sadly, after his first bath, he is decidedly more of a very dark green cat than a black one, on both of the shirts I ordered.
I don't know if a photo will capture the color, since it is such a dark green, but I'll take one & try sending it to the service folks.
Is anyone else bothered by the strange green of the shirt. It does not compliment the design which is gorgeous. I cut out the design and stitched it to a tote bag.
I bought it when it was first offered and was disappointed at the fabric of the shirt which was poor as well as the color. A design like that should get better treatment.

ITworld.com –
Vietnam will invest US$4 billion on building up its IT sector between now and 2010, a senior government official said Tuesday.
Do Trung Ta, head of the newly-formed Ministry of Post and Telecommunication said the funds will be used to upgrade Vietnam's telecommunication infrastructure, develop human resources for the IT sector, improve Internet services, and lay the groundwork for expanded use of IT and the Internet in the community, according to a government Web site.
The most important issue is raising the awareness of IT so that all enterprises and individuals understand the advantages of IT, Ta said. Government departments, large and small companies will all be encouraged to use e-commerce, while all schools in Vietnam will have access to the Internet by 2005, he said.
Targets for 2005 include achieving an average annual growth rate for the IT industry of between 20 percent and 25 percent and increasing the number of Internet subscribers to around 5 percent of the population from around 1 percent currently, according to the Web site.
Vietnam currently has 250,000 Internet subscribers. Authorities quote International Telecommunications Union (ITU) figures for developing countries which suggest that there are four users per subscriber, and conclude that Vietnam therefore has 1 million Internet users out of a population of 80 million.
Vietnam has over 5 million fixed and mobile phone subscribers with a teledensity of 6.26 lines per 100 inhabitants and plans to increase this to.between 15 and 20 lines per 100 inhabitants to 2010.
Ta also said that Vietnam needed to pay more attention to the issue of protecting intellectual property rights if it was wanted to build a robust IT industry which included software development. Several dedicated software parks have been established to provide a development environment for software engineers in Vietnam, whose population is predominantly young, and regarded as literate and well-educated given the country's overall low level of economic development.

Hey all. Some of you who are on the Mando Mercs (everybody sing! mando, mando mercs... I want to be a mando merc.... sorry, that goes through my head every time I say or think "mando merc") will have seen my post about my WIP generic mando helmet specifically designed for modding.
I took a casting like this one from my Boba mold -
and got to work filling, sanding, reshaping wobbles, etc. The below pics represent where I was a few days ago. I need to get more pics.
(excuse me if I make mistakes while typing, my daughter, who is 4, is humming Darth Vader's theme here beside me and making me laugh LOL)
Anyway, the casting was kinda wobbly so I had to do some work on it (not as bad as it looks in the pic actually), and I wanted to make a few slight adjustments to over all shape.
I have little more work to do on the surface and I will put it aside for molding. The idea is that this will be a generic mando lid with the visor and keyhole vent both easily changeable. The classic "T" will only be scored onto the surface of the mandibles, but the line can be filled quickly if a different visor shape is wanted. I haven't yet decided if I want to do the same with the keyhole vent in the back.
I will keep the molds for the three earpieces I have, but the idea is that the ear surfaces on the generic lid will lend themselves to having a variety of custom doo-dads put on there. If I do get rid of the keyholes on the modded noggin, I will also make a mold for that part, which can easily be installed by cutting out the "hatch" molded into the back of the helmet.

Teacher Talk Tuesday
The theme for today on Blog Hoppin' is Teacher advice.
The best piece of advice I can give is NEVER stop learning. Two of my favorite books are by Debbie Miller. When you read her books it feels like you are chatting with a friend. A very knowledgeable friend. I love these books so much! My copies are dog-eared, hi-lighted and tattered.
Chapter 3 of Teaching with Intention starts with this insight from Debbie Miller,
"I believe that classroom environments are the most effective when they are literate and purposeful, organized and accessible, and, most of all, authentic."
That is so TRUE!!! Don't rush out and spend money on premade bulletin boards and charts for your classroom. Your walls should be covered with student work and charts that were made with them to anchor the learning.
Another piece of advice is this.... If you need help ask for it and if you see someone who needs help give it!We have the wonderful opportunity to help not only our students but each other.
Smile even if you don't feel like it.
Look for the positive in every situation.
One of my friends recently posted on facebook that she was having a terrible day.
She posted that it was only 9 a.m. and she had already spilled coffee on her shirt, been late to work
and ran over a squirrel! My comment back? Just be thankful that you weren't the squirrel!
Can I get an Amen? :)

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Experience brought the second-ranked Tennessee Volunteers back from the brink of defeat Sunday.
Late wins by senior Matt Brewer and juniors John-Patrick Smith propelled the Vols to a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over No. 20 Wake Forest at Leighton Stadium.
"In 4-3 matches, you learn a lot about your team," Tennessee coach Sam Winterbotham said. "I think today was no exception. We learned a great deal about the saying, `It's not over until it's over.'
Even though the Vols (11-1) had taken a 1-0 lead following doubles, Wake Forest (6-2) came out strong to begin singles, taking four of the five first sets. The Demon Deacons earned straight-set wins at Nos. 2, 3 and 4 to go ahead 3-1, just one point away from clinching the upset.
That's when the tides turned.
Brewer dropped his first set 2-6 to Zach Leslie but dug in and evened the match with a 6-3 win in the second set. Brewer took the third set 6-3 to win the match, and Tennessee trailed 3-2.
Smith, ranked second, was taken to a third set but defeated No. 73 Tripper Carleton 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 to tie the score 3-3. He has a 25-5 record and has defeated 15 ranked opponents this season.
Everything came down to Fago at the sixth position. Because Leighton Stadium has only five courts, his match with Danny Kreyman did not begin until there was an open court. Knowing his match would be necessary for the Vols, Fago showed no signs of hesitation. He quickly downed Kreyman 6-2, 6-2 to clinch the match for the Vols. It was his 20th victory of the season, already a career best.
"I think the way Matteo, J.P. and Matt handled their matches, there was a certain characteristic that we as coaches are very proud of," Winterbotham said. "Their ability to stay focused on not let things bother them, that really made the difference in the match today. We came away with a win because of that."
Smith, Fago and Brewer have a combined 206 victories, with Smith accounting for 94 of them.
The Vols opened the match by capturing the doubles point, something they've done in all 12 matches this season.
Third-ranked Smith and senior Davey Sandgren picked up their second win over Wake Forest's top team this year, defeating Iain Atkinson and Steve Forman 8-5 at the No. 1.
