The Apostasy
of Professing Christians Revealed
An Examination of the Deception Perpetrated by False Christians
"Now the Spirit [of God] speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils."(New Testament, 1st Timothy 4:1; KJV)
the disciples of Jesus Christ asked their Lord what sign would point to the nearness
of His second coming and the end of the age, the first thing the Lord Jesus told
them was to beware of the deception that would take place in His name (see
Matthew 24:3-5). This site was created to expose the very thing the Lord warned
His disciples about.
this day and age false teachers are everywhere. Sadly, many of these heretical
teachers are active within professing Christian institutions. The things they
promote as inspired of God are actually different and contrary to what
was taught by Christ and His disciples.
there are various kinds of deception fostered in the name of God, the main
purpose of this site is to focus on under-reported issues concerning the anti-biblical teachings and ungodly practices
associated with churches and ministries that purport to be Christian.
Facts, insight and sound biblical exhortation are presented to show that
the teachings and behavior of the "anointed" in question are in reality unorthodox in comparison with historic
Christian doctrine and practice.
is my hope and prayer that this revelation of error contrasted with the truth will produce (genuine)
repentance among those guilty of perpetuating the heresy and committing the crimes documented by
this site.
For the Glory of God, Brian J. Karjala

Food for thought: Though your church pastors won't tell you this, it is well documented that the former President of the United States remains loyal to a powerful occult-based secret society called Skull and Bones (for a 2004 NBC video admission, click: Bush Exposed). Is it any wonder that a man who has a fixation with death is a man of war?...just like his father. As a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ I am called to evangelize the nations, not support and give blessing to evildoers who bomb innocent men, women and children out of this world.
Now before some people accuse me of defending Saddam I will remind you that Saddam's murderous regime was for years financed and equipped by the U.S. Government: Shaking Hands with Saddam Hussein. The U.S. military invasion of Iraq has led to the murder of more than one million Iraqis since 2003 (in the name of democracy) and has displaced more than four million of them, a far greater war crime than what Saddam ever did. To Bush and Obama supporters: Are you not the biggest hypocrites in the world? For how long will you tolerate the lies of your ungodly leaders? The blood of the innocent cries out.

[WORLD CUP 2014] Germany's 30-player short list for the 2014 World Cup is loaded with international stars like Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Mario Goetze, and Mesut Ozil, but Coach Joachim Loew was not afraid to inject youth into the team, picking a pair of Schalke 04 teenagers Leon Goretzka and Max Meyer.
They are among six uncapped players in the Germany 30-player roster along with Borussia Dortmund's Erik
Durm, Augsburg's Andre Hahn, Sampdoria's Shkodran Mustafi and Hoffenheim's Kevin
Volland, one of only two forwards on the short list.
"When picking the squad it was important for us to have the right mix of experience, carefreeness and freshness," Loew said.
"Form and fitness are also central criteria. Given the injuries and absences in the past few months it has not been an ideal situation for the national team. But we will rise to the challenges and we
will find solutions and alternatives."
World Cup 2014 Squads:
Bosnia-Herzegovina (24)
Brazil (23)
Honduras (23)
Nigeria (30)
South Korea (23)
Regarding Germany's title hopes, the big news was that Loew included Real
Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira, who has returned to action after tearing cruciate knee ligaments last year.
"We are confident we can help him
return to top form in time for the tournament," said Loew.
World Cup 2014: Warmup Schedule
Germany will face Poland in a friendly on
Tuesday without players from Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, which are playing in the German Cup final. Loew plans to take 25 or 26 players for a training camp in Italy on May 21. It will later
play Cameroon and Armenia in friendlies.
Germany Roster (30 players):
Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer (Bayern
Munich), Roman Weidenfeller (Borussia Dortmund), Ron-Robert Zieler (Hannover 96).
Defenders: Jerome Boateng (Bayern Munich), Kevin Grosskreutz (Borussia
Dortmund), Erik Durm (Borussia Dortmund), Benedikt Hoewedes (Schalke 04), Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund), Marcell Jansen (Hamburg), Per Mertesacker (Arsenal/ENG), Shkodran Mustafi (Sampdoria/ITA),
Marcel Schmelzer (Borussia Dortmund), Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich).
Midfielders: Lars Bender (Bayer Leverkusen), Julian Draxler (Schalke 04), Matthias
Ginter (Freiburg), Leon Goretzka (Schalke 04), Mario Goetze (Bayern Munich), Andre Hahn (Augsburg), Sami Khedira (Real Madrid), Toni Kroos (Bayern Munich), Max Meyer (Schalke 04), Thomas Mueller
(Bayern Munich), Mesut Ozil (Arsenal/ENG), Lukas Podolski (Arsenal/ENG), Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund), Andre Schuerrle (Chelsea/ENG), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich).
Forwards: Miroslav Klose (Lazio/ITA), Kevin Volland (Hoffenheim).

CANADA FX-C$ hits session low as stocks markets slide
TORONTO Nov 14 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar hit a session low against the greenback on Wednesday, tracking a fall in U.S. and Canadian equity markets as investors focused on fears about impending U.S. budget discussions and the debt crisis in Europe.
The currency weakened to C$1.0034 versus its U.S. counterpart, or 99.66 U.S. cents, after starting the North American session on slightly firmer ground. The Canadian dollar ended the day on Tuesday at C$1.0019, or $0.9981.

More bad news from Borders Books
From Publishers Lunch:
The Grinch Goes to Borders, As Major Vendor Payments Are DelayedBorders warned investors on December 9 that they faced a potential "liquidity shortfall" in early 2011 and within the last 24 hours that warning has turned into reality for some of its major supporters--including big publishers. People familiar with the communications tell us that Borders ceo Mike Edwards contacted some publishers recently to indicate that Borders would be postponing payments due, now that the holidays are over. The Borders executive team is due in New York in early January, we are told, both to discuss next steps with major vendors and to present their case to banks and investors.
According to the company's December SEC filing, vendor credit remains essential to the company's operations, accounting for "approximately 44 percent of our inventory." They noted at the time "we are working closely with vendors to maintain acceptable levels of payables but there can be no assurance that our current vendor credit levels will be maintained." So far, we are told the company has not indicated when they intend to make their accounts payable current, or even whether they will be able to make payments in full or will propose alternate arrangements.
A statement provided to Publishers Lunch by company spokesperson Mary Davis at least implies that Borders may seek to negotiate amounts due as they "restructure" what they owe to publishers. The company told us:
"In response to media inquiries, Borders Group Inc. today stated that, as the company previously reported, it is in discussions regarding the potential reinfancing of its existing senior credit facilities. As part of this potential refinancing, Borders has determined that it is necessary to restructure its vendor financing arrangements and is delaying payments to certain of its vendors.
"Borders has notified these vendors and will be working with them to restructure their arrangements with the company. Borders stated that there can be no assurance that it will be successful in refinancing its senior credit facilities or restructuring its vendor financing arrangements. As the company previously reported, the absence of the refinancing could cause the company to violate the terms of its existing credit agreements in the first calendar quarter of 2011 and the company could experience a liquidity shortfall."
Davis declined to comment beyond the statement. While it is a different situation, publishing people will remember with discomfort that Advanced Marketing Services filed for bankruptcy protection right after the holiday selling period in 2007, filing on December 29 (and subsequently liquidating rather than reorganizing.)
Separately, publishers have told us recently that Borders indicated that approximately 10 to 17 more stores are due to close by the end of the January (in addition to the closures already reported by us, set to close by January 7). Davis said "we are closing a few additional stores in January, but not disclosing the total number at this time. We will share that information in our next quarterly release as we usually do."

I am the Fauxetry champion
Tonight, we performed Fauxetry for the crowd, and I kicked some butt. The object of the "game" is to find a random, mundane bit of text, i.e., a receipt, recipe, VHS box text, etc., and read it in the style of slam poetry. Add wine and fun ensues. Since the party was based on a Boggle contest (we're so edgy), I chose to read the Boggle instructions. Needless to say, it was a crowd pleaser. The judges' points were tallied and I won. My prize? More wine!! Mazel tov!

Vodka is mostly water, right?
[Physician Heinz] Valtin thinks that the notion may have started in 1945 when the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council recommended approximately "1 milliliter of water for each calorie of food," which would amount to roughly 2 to 2.5 quarts per day (64 to 80 ounces).I can't even begin to tell you what this means to me: wine, vodka, ICED TEA!! They are all basically water (with delicious flavorings). Add Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles to this list, and I might just be in heaven.
In its next sentence the board stated, "[M]ost of this quantity is contained in prepared foods." But that last sentence seems to have been missed, so that the recommendation was erroneously interpreted as how much water a person should drink each day.

Justice Delayed, but Leonard Matlovich would have to be happy today: Repeal of DADT
Thank you for your bravery, Leonard. You blazed that trail all the way to December 18, 2011. I hope someone writes 65-31 on your headstone in celebration. Seriously, thank you.
A Change Is Gonna Come: Repealing 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'
Our nation will take a step to remove institutionalized discrimination from its military today. The Senate is set to vote at 12:00 PM PST to repeal DADT. After that, the ball will be in the Pentagon's and the Administration's court to complete the repeal process. I don't think you will, but I feel compelled to say, "Don't fail us on this, Mr. President."
I have to take a minute to extend my sincere thanks to the Republican Senators who crossed party lines to make what is a courageous vote for them. It is the right vote, the moral vote, the ethical vote, but I still understand that it is also a brave vote considering your party and your constituents. Thank you for being part of this civil rights movement:
Lisa Murkowski
Scott Brown
Olympia Snowe
Susan Collins
George Voinovich
Mark Kirk
John Ensign
Richard Burr
A change is going to come, my friends. It's inevitable. The ongoing movement to extend civil rights to all our citizens does not flow backward. Oh no, it has a forward momentum. And it's gaining speed. Even though I rail against the slow pace of gay liberation and rant about those who would deny me and my fellow queer brothers and sisters the same rights they have, I'm happy to be living in exciting times of change.
Not all that long ago, I think it would have been inconceivable to have an out and proud and wildly outrageous person like Adam Lambert appear on television, touring the country and world, and garnering support and admiration from all ages and creeds. Yet, here we are. And I think he definitely chose the right song to sing DADT off the stage. Kudos, Adam.
Goodbye, DADT. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

If Sarcasm Ruled the World
In my head, sarcasm does rule the world, but for the rest of you, I recommend checking out Cracked for the full list of sarcastic possibilities.
Take that, you bike-riding hippie! UC Berkeley crackdown has bicyclists fuming
Sure, a $220 fine for locking your bike to a railing instead of a designated bike rack seems severe, but, and I say this as one who abhors traffic and the overpopulation of cars in our city centers, "Deal with it." It's the law. As a pedestrian, I see so many violations by cyclists every day that I have lost all empathy. As a group, you tend to be reckless and frequently disobey traffic laws. You want the same rights to travel the roads as cars have, but you roll (or zip) through stop lights and signs. You want to be able to ride like a bat out of hell down sidewalks and in crosswalks like pedestrians, but you show little to no concern for those same pedestrians when you're on the road like a car. So, again I say, deal with it. You're on a vehicle, and we have laws governing the use of vehicles. Break the law, pay the fine. . . hippies.
Please read the SF Gate article for a more balanced take on this story.
Do you wish your coffee cup held a surprise? Hidden Animal Teacups will solve your dilemma.

You can choose from bears, owls, or foxes when selecting your coffee spirit animal. I suspect that the hipster contingent will be lobbying for robots and manatees in the near future, too.

Bed Bugs Don't Have To Be Scary, Do They?
Yes, in fact, they do have to be scary! They are gross and they suck your blood. I think it's perfectly reasonable to instill a healthy sense of fear in your kids when it comes to vampiric bugs.
Or, you could take the toymaker's approach:
Bed bugs can be a difficult topic to explain to children during an infestation, which is why our giant bed bugs can help. Instead of showing children disgusting pictures of an actual bed bug, why not show them a more pleasant picture that is less likely to scare them.
Look, you dirty people out there with bed bugs, these things aren't pleasant. They are a judgment on your filthy, nasty lifestyle. Stop trying to indoctrinate our children into your sick way of life! Remember what the Bible says, "God hates bugs!"

Researchers in China dress up in full-body panda suits in order to prepare young pandas for their reintroduction to the wild. You see, they don't want the young pandas to imprint on the humans, so they're dress up to fool to poor unsuspecting pandas. Think Pedobear for pandas.
It's a great idea and a noble endeavor. But, look at baby panda's eyes. I don't think he's buying it. Look at the hands!!

Who doesn't drink wine from the barrel? Let's go to Barrique!
It's a wine bar … but not. Howell has a new twist — the wine is served straight from the barrel, procured directly from the producers. Though there's also a substantial wine list for flights and such, 18 varieties of local wine are offered by the glass from their respective, constantly-rotating barrels, lined up in dramatic fashion behind the bar.I love this concept. Who wants to go? First barrel is on me!

Josh Duhamel flies the unfriendly skies
Dear Josh,
We all know you're cute--extremely handsome some might say. Hey, we've even seen your early nude photos and, for the first time ever, wanted to unironically ask, "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" But, Josh, I have to say that we're worried.
First, Fergie. Some terrible things have been said about Fergie by Perez Hilton and his ilk. I can't say if they're true or not, and the ad hominem attacks (while funny) don't really tell me that much. I personally think her band is shockingly overrated, though. I mean, they sing the days of the week in a song for Christ's sake. And I just can't stop thinking "mis-match" when I see you together. Did I mention how pretty you are?
Now, there's this incident with you refusing to turn off your Blackberry and being rude to a flight attendant. Josh, we all know that it's bogus that texts from a phone can bring down a plane , but it's the rule. So, put the phone away and watch the crappy in-flight entertainment like the rest of us. Can you ever really get enough of 'Two and a half Men' or 'The Big Bang Theory'?
The rudeness is inexcusable and I think you should apologize personally rather than through your spokesperson. Man up and tell the attendant you're sorry, then buy him something nice. It's really the least you--a gorgeous movie star married to an internationally famous singer--can do.
Did I mention I think you're gorgeous?

Now You Know Why They Call It The Singapore Sling
The Singapore men raised eyebrows at the Asian Games in China with the moon on groin design.
Their government said they should show 'dignity' to the flag.
A statement from the country's Information Ministry declared: 'Unfortunately the team did not seek our advice on the use of the crescent moon and stars when they designed their swim trunks.
The Singapore government said the design was 'inappropriate' (AFP/Getty)
'We would have told them that their design is inappropriate as we want elements of the flag to be treated with dignity.'
The rules of the Asian Games stipulate a team's uniform cannot be changed in the middle of the tournament, so the Singapore government will have to allow the water polo players wear the controversial trunks for the rest of the competition.
The team has apologised for the placement of the flag and confirmed the trunks would not be used again after the Games.
'We didn't have the slightest intention to do anything funny on our trunks to insult Singapore,' team manager Samuel Wong told the Straits Times.

I used to think this was a stuffed dog of some sort, but it's hard and shellacked (does anyone know what shellac is any more?) and surely wasn't alive. Or was it? Seriously, this thing is anatomically correct and, if looked at in just the right light, follows you with its eyes. Don't turn your back on it.
Found at the parents' house: One frog and one mushroom
He's clearly high. But I'm impressed by his bow tie.

Wow! I'm in a JC Penney!

Today I had the pleasure to attend Social Capital 2011 which was explained best by their own tagline "A social media learnathon". It was a very busy day packed full of information. One of the sessions that I attended was called Find the Right Social Tools for You. It was ran by Susan Murphy and Mel Gallant. I was late to the session but I left it with some great notes to come home and share with you.
Looking at social media as a city
Social media is such a broad term and there are more sites than one can ever master in my opinion. However they managed to take the basics and what I would call your must haves and have us look at them as part of a city. The city is your blog/site.
Twitter is your coffee shop. It is open 24/7 (Just like your local Tim Horton's) and there is always someone online to talk to. Feel free to jump into conversations, learn and share. Remember this is a conversation though and isn't all about you.
Facebook is the community centre. It is the central hub of your community. People can come to Facebook to find and share information and stories.
Flickr and YouTube are the town square. It is where you go to see the action, you are right in the middle of everything that is going on. If you are not on YouTube you should be. YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world and the average Canadian watches 147 YouTube videos every month.
StumbleUpon is your library. It is where you can go to discover and share content. One other thing I learned today that may seem obvious but I never even realized is that StumbleUpon can be a great way to come up with ideas for new and fresh content for your blog. Also found out today that in June 2011 it surpassed Facebook as the biggest driver of social media on the web. If that doesn't tell you to get on StumbleUpon I don't know what does.
6 steps to get started in social media
- Clean up your home base.
- Set yourself some measurable goals. This can be as easy as deciding to write 3 blog posts a week to I am going to grow my followers by x amount by such a date.
- Have a fresh look at your site and see how you can make it more welcoming to your guests and make them want to stay awhile.
- Set up profiles on all the social networks. Even if you don't plan on using them right now you will at least hopefully grab your name so that it is saved for when you do decide to use that network.
- Check out other sites in your niche and see what they are talking about.
- Share what you find with your network. Tweet it, Facebook it, spread the love.
- Build a relationship with them and see how you can help one another grow your sites. It is all about the community after all and you won't get very far on your own.
- Brainstorm ideas for new content. Ask your readers for ideas, ask your network you are growing or find inspiration from other sources (Blogs, News, Conversations).
- Have an editorial calendar and set yourself deadlines for getting your posts live.
- Decide when your content will go live and tie it back to your goals you set in step 1.
- Get some posts in draft mode when you are in "writing mode". Work on the content and organize your photos, videos etc. and have the bones of the post ready to go. Then all you have to do later is edit them and publish. This will make sure you always have something ready to post.
- Don't be afraid to say whatever it is you have to say. You never know what is going to "click" with your readers. The littlest thing can go viral when you didn't think it would.
- Facebook is a great place to start engaging. Create a fan page, load up some links to share and start inviting people to like your page.
- Make sure to cross promote. The general rule of thumb is 1/3 of the content you share on Facebook and Twitter be that of others.
- Participate in twitter chats. They are a great way to build your twitter followers and get to know others.
- Post videos and pictures on YouTube and Flickr and Embed them in your blog posts.
- Now that you have done all that work DON'T STOP. You will lose your momentum and it will be hard to pick it back up.
- Find time every day to interact and make it a habit. Just like you find time to read e-mail, find time to interact through social media.
This may seem like a lot of work however click on over to How to tackle social media in 1 hour where I break it all down for you to use on a daily basis.

Stylist: Mary B.
I saw the recommendation for Mary and live in the area so I gave her a try. I was not impressed. She admitted that she doesn't have any special tricks to cutting curly hair and this was fairly apparant as she cut my hair. She did an okay job with the layers (nothing different from any other straight-hair stylist would do) but she had no clue how to style it. I walked out of there and luckily had a hat in my car to wear home until I could rewash and style it so it looked decent. She IS very patient and went back to recut when I said it looked a bit too long, but she and I both were surprised and confused to find her recommended as a great curly stylist. She is nothing more than ordinary in her techniques, if you can call them techniques. I'm going elsewhere next time.

Wall Street Volunteers closes doors as turmoil intensifies
By Kristina Cooke
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - As the turmoil in financial markets intensified, Wall Street Volunteers, an organization that connects financial professionals with nonprofit groups said it was suspending its operations.
In an email to members it explained that it did not have the resources to continue, but it hoped to relaunch sometime in the future.
It's another sign of how Wall Street's woes are having ripple effects beyond the investment community.
"Our team has concluded that we're unable to provide WSV the resources -- funding and personnel -- necessary to fulfill its potential," Wall Street Volunteers (WSV) wrote in the email.
"We wish the best for our members, partners, and friends during this difficult time for our industry and our economy, and look forward to working with you again in the future."
The aim of WSV was for its members to develop lasting relationships with nonprofits and to encourage their friends and colleagues to volunteer, according to its website.
The hope was that this would also increase the amount of philanthropy among its members later in their careers, when they are successful executives.
Since its launch in 2005, WSV has connected a select group of nonprofit organizations with Wall Streeters who wanted to fit volunteering into their busy schedules. Continued...

Extension > Source > From research to rewardsPrint PDF version
Local Extension educator Bob Olen and St. Louis County Master Gardener Catherine Winter survey University research plots at Glensheen Mansion on Lake Superior in Duluth. As interest in locally grown foods grows, Olen teaches Master Gardeners and others which plant varieties can thrive in northern Minnesota's frigid Zone 3.
From research to rewards
Local Extension educator taps U resources to benefit northern Minnesota growers
Growing specialty crops is never easy, but cold climate and lake winds make growing them on Minnesota's North Shore nothing short of courageous. Luckily, St. Louis County growers have Bob Olen on their side. For 30 years, the local Extension educator has conducted cold-hardiness research, tapping University resources to help level the playing field for northern growers, while meeting the burgeoning demand for locally produced food.
"When you say those two words in St. Louis County—'Bob Olen'— well, the name is synonymous with agriculture and gardening," says County Commissioner Keith Nelson. A grower himself, Nelson has firsthand knowledge of the benefits of the county's investment in a local Extension educator position like Olen's.
Olen is one of nearly 40 local Extension educators and 125 4-H program coordinators funded by counties and local partners to supplement Extension's statewide research and programs and address specific county needs. As a member of Extension's Commercial Vegetable and Fruit Production Team, Olen researches protection systems and season extenders such as high tunnels, which can help farmers take advantage of competitive pricing at the beginning of the season.
St. Louis County Master Gardeners Marjorie Stalker (left) and Catherine Winter help local Extension educator Bob Olen weigh and measure produce from University research plots at Glensheen Mansion.
He also conducts extensive varietal trials, sorting through the hundreds of varieties available for any given crop and using his research plots to determine which best suit northern Minnesota conditions. These trials help local growers make informed decisions. "When people have questions, I can show them the varieties growing side-by-side so they can see the difference," Olen says.
The research plots fill more than an educational need. Olen and the Extension Master Gardeners with whom he works donate the produce—often thousands of pounds—to Duluth-area Second Harvest food shelves. "Fresh produce is often expensive to buy, especially for those already struggling to put food on their tables," says Shaye Moris, Second Harvest Northern Food Bank's executive director. "Bob helps us get fresh produce to people in need."
As part of his Extension networking efforts, Olen also reaches out to backyard gardeners. As the calls about fruit and vegetable gardening multiplied, he began tailoring his popular family-gardening course. Because attendees cited economics as the No. 1 reason to grow more food for themselves, Olen set up an experiment to determine which crops produced the highest return per square yard of garden space.
The thirst for information has never been so great, Olen says. As interest in local foods and food security grows, demand for Extension's work grows.
Grower Doug Hoffbauer is not surprised that Olen's knowledge is such a sought-after commodity. He is "a great contributor to our quality of life," Hoffbauer says. "He is the only one doing Zone 3 research in the lower 48."
Being part of the community he serves allows Olen to identify needs early, set up related research, and then develop the educational programs to bring those results to the community. He adapts the University's vast resources to the most pressing local needs.
When counties partner with Extension to support local educator positions in this way, the rewards are infinite, Nelson says. "If you don't have boots on the ground in a community—if you don't have that relationship—you can't accomplish what Bob Olen accomplishes," he says.

Unique model results in 'win-win-win' for Lake County
By organizing shoreline stabilization projects up and down the North Shore, Extension educator Wayne Seidel helps ensure that future generations get to enjoy Lake Superior.
Lake County natural resources educator Wayne Seidel has a knack for bringing people together to get things done.
"He's a tremendous mediator," says Lake County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) supervisor Tom Gelineau. "He has this ability to mediate things to a positive note and get things taken care of."
Much of Seidel's work focuses on education on water-quality issues like stormwater management and erosion and sediment pollution in Lake Superior. His position is jointly funded by Extension and the SWCD, a model he says helps him access University resources and also bring grant money and other funding into Lake County, population 11,000.
Jim Linscheid, a member of the Water Plan Advisory Committee, stresses the importance of having a local Extension educator with grassroots connections. "Wayne has developed rapport with all segments of the community," Linscheid says. "To do that takes frequent face-to-face time."
Seidel organized Lake Superior shoreline stabilization projects using waste blast rock from tunnel construction along Highway 61. His resourcefulness and innovative thinking protected private lands and public recreation areas from erosion and helped the contractor dispose of waste rock, while the state benefited from the efficient use of cost-share funds.
Seidel calls these types of projects "win-win-win." Lake County heartily agrees.

Hands down, it's about 'HANDS-ON' in ag country
For Stearns County crop producer Scott Gathje, Dan Martens' work as a local Extension educator is a necessity. Gathje works with Martens to determine the first cut of his hay crop, a crucial decision that can affect profit for the rest of the season.
As a member of Extension's Forages and Commodity Crops teams, Martens has access to the latest research to help increase producers' profitability. "The hands-on aspect is really important," Gathje says. "Dan's out in the field looking around instead of just taking it out of a book." Having someone connected with University research who is also invested in local issues is a great combination, Gathje says.
Martens' position is jointly funded by Stearns, Benton and Morrison counties to serve the agricultural needs that cross county lines. Good communication between counties is key to making this model successful, Benton County Commissioner Joe Wollak says.
"This area is around 80 percent agricultural land," Wollak says. "Having someone local is just immeasurable."

So you've bagged your theatre tickets (from Lastminute.com? Well done you, enjoy) and you've perused the pre-theatre mealy dealys too! Fabulous. But you want somewhere a little bit different this time. In that case, here's a list of the top shows on Lastminute and where you should be supping and munching before you go. All of the venues are within skipping distance of the theatres, so you'll have time to sup up before the curtain call, or get there for a bevvy before last orders.
Mamma Mia tickets – from £30
This show is still going strong and if you fancy dancing along to all things Abba, tickets are a steal at the moment. The Prince of Wales Theatre is on Coventry Street, so The Blue Posts on Rupert Street is your best bet for food and booze.
Oliver! tickets – from £18.25
Going to see the Artful Dodger and that bird off the telly sing some tunes? Hurrah! Head to Sarastro on Drury lane for a theatrical dining experience. Or pop to Guanabara for cocktails after the show.
Dirty Dancing tickets – from £33
Ready to have the time of your life (seriously, did you expect me not to make a bad pun during this post?), then you'll need some food first. Bistro 1 on Southampton Street does great bargain food. Speedy too.
The Lion King tickets – from £21
The Lion King is showing at the Lyceum Theatre so head to the Coal Hole. It's one of London's oldest pubs and used to be a working music hall.
Wicked tickets – from £15 (no booking fee on selected dates)
Still one of the most popular shows. If you fancy seeing the witches do their stuff (and do, before everyone goes Lloyd Webber crazy when his Dorothy is on stage in the West End) make sure you pop into the Phoenix on Palace Street for a drink first. This area is sorely lacking decent pubs, but this one is alright. You might as well pop in here if you're going to see Billy Elliot too.
Priscilla Queen of the Desert tickets – from £20
After Jason Donovan starred in this show, it got a bit of a cult following. Not my cup of tea, but apparently it's fabulous. It's right by Old Compton Street so you're spoiled for choice bars wise. My favourite? Bar Soho for cocktails. Or head to Ed's Diner and buy takeaway to eat in Soho Square.
Grease tickets – from £27.50
One of the most popular shows in the West End, Grease is at the Palace just off Piccadilly. You'll be best off holing up in the Glasshouse Stores for a pint. Rather predictably, it's on Glasshouse Street.
Avenue Q tickets – from £19.50
To the innocent bystander, this show is just the Muppets talking about sex. But to everyone who has seen it, it's fabulous and oh so very funny. And, there's a couple of decent pubs right by the Wyndhams Theatre. You best bet though is wine and cheese at the Cork and Bottle in Leicester Square.
Sister Act tickets – from £18.25
Whoopi Goldberg isn't in it, but that doesn't stop this show from being awesome apparently (it's on my 'must see' list). The bars around here can be hit and miss, so head to the bar in The Courthouse Hotel and have a cocktail in a prison cell.
Les Miserable tickets – £16.25
This show is in its 25th year, but if you haven't been to see it yet, you really should. It's at the Queen's on Shaftesbury Avenue, so pop to Crispy Duck in China Town for something to eat first.
Got a great pre-theatre secret? Tell everyone in the comments!

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan men's soccer team was defeated, 1-0, on Saturday (Nov. 5) by the Northwestern Wildcats, who tallied the game's lone goal at 83:09 at U-M Soccer Stadium. With the victory, the Wildcats captured the Big Ten regular-season championship.
Michigan held the Northwestern attack in check until the 84th minute, when Wildcat forward Reed Losee sent a cross from the right flank 35 yards out inside the six. Teammate Chris Ritter collected the service at the top of the six and chipped the shot past senior goalkeeper Tim Bergsma (Beverly Hills, Mich./Southfield Christian) for the lone goal of the match.
U-M began the match with a quality opportunity in the 12th minute, as junior Ezekiel Harris (Flint, Mich./Carman-Ainsworth HS) took a feed down the right side from classmate Latif Alashe (Northville, Mich./Northville HS) and fired shot that was turned away.
Northwestern nearly broke the scoreless tie in the 22nd minute, when Lepe Seetane took a pair of touches at the top of the 18 and ripped a shot at point-blank range that was stopped by Bergsma.
The first half went scoreless, with Northwestern outshooting the Wolverines, 7-3, and gaining a trio of corner kicks, which all came in the 20th minute of action.
Freshman/sophomore Nick Lewin (Walled Lake, Mich./Walled Lake Western) started the second stanza off on a positive note in the 54th minute, as he collected a loose ball from the top of the box off a failed clear. However, his shot from 20 yards out sailed wide right.
Seetane nearly broke the scoreless tie with 13:40 left in the match on a long-distance try, skipping shot from 35 yards out that challenged Bergsma, but the senior keeper smothered the attempt.
Bergsma had five in his first career start. Northwestern outshot Michigan, 15-8, on the match and had four corners to Michigan's zero.
The Wolverines will play host to the 2011 Big Ten Tournament (Wed-Sun., Nov. 9-12) at the U-M Soccer Stadium. Michigan, which has wrapped up the No. 6 seed in the tourney, will take on second-seeded Wisconsin on Wednesday (Nov. 9) at 6:30 p.m.

You can discuss this suggestion on the talk page.
The end of the universe, where none has gone before, and the outer rim were informal euphemisms used by Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise-D to describe an unknown area over one billion light years away from the Milky Way Galaxy. As of the late 24th century, it stood as the furthest location in the universe reached by the Federation. (TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before") Lieutenant Commander Dexter Remmick called the location the edge of the universe. (TNG: "Coming of Age")
After leaving the Triangulum Galaxy, which was itself reached due to a mistake on the Traveler's part during a warp engine experiment, another mistake caused the vessel to not only leave Triangulum, but arrive over one billion light years away from the Milky Way. In the unknown area, unidentified objects of huge size, resembling transparent cubes with bright glowing corners, sped past the ship in groups with seemingly random patterns, in a blue nebulous background.
The thoughts, imagination and memories of the crew began to manifest as subjective or shared reality. Jean-Luc Picard's mother, who came to Picard in a vision, suggested they might in fact be in the universe's beginning, rather than end. The Traveler however explained that "thought" was in fact the basis of all reality and the essence of the area where they were. Such a situation was quickly recognized to be dangerous for anyone lacking sufficient intellectual control. The Traveler also explained that humans would not naturally have reached this area until the far distant future when they could control their thoughts. (TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before")

Alternator Failure (melted) - advise wanted
My '02 540iA has 123k miles on it.
I replaced the battery in March of 2012 at approximately 115k miles with one from Autozone.
My alternator went out in August at 119k miles and I replaced it with a rebuilt from a local auto electric shop. All was fine and dandy afterwards. Voltages were in the 13.8 range on the unlocked OBC - not as high as I expected, but were varying as I'd expect so I assume everything was fine.
The alternator went out again in February at 123k miles. I felt like the car wasn't cranking as quickly the past 6-8 weeks, but its been a lot colder and there wasn't anything I could put my finger on, so I didn't really think much about it.
I finally got it back to the rebuilder to be evaluated. He was... mad at me. He initially thought a diode went bad, but it turns out the entire inside was melted and wrecked. He gave me the diode bridge to take home. Its nasty, melted and stinks.
He said something produced a massive draw, to the point of near a dead short and just dried to draw so much power through the alternator it melted.
He asked me if the car overheated - no, temps run 1deg hotter now than before (I flushed the coolant and probably don't have the mix quite exactly the same). He also asked if I have any amps in the car - I don't, its bone stock.
I found a few threads while searching, but nothing specific to my issue.
Before I rip the chassis apart inspecting every square inch of wiring looking for short or break, does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Nothing was obviously loose when I took it apart - all connections I checked (battery, alternator) were good and tight. I figure to check all the common stuff - ground points (could use some guidance on where common ones are - did find the thread about some below a vent and will check those) and the positive cable as much as I can get my hands on.)
The battery was at 11v and showing 50% charge on my charger when I got the car home. I charged it up so it would be topped off before I installed the new alternator. I intend to take it back to AZ and have them test it.
When the alternator died, like the previous one, stuff went haywire inside the car - the radio quit, the trans went into limp mode, the hvac turned off/on/off and blew on high with no display. I just attributed it to the electrical load without the alternator, but maybe that was what blew both alternators and was a cause not a symptom.
My thoughts are -
The other sort of "replace it when you have odd electrical issues" thing which comes up is the key switch. I'm not sure how this would do that, but I guess I can just throw a new one at it if nothing else comes up.
Thanks for any advice/suggestions/assistance you may have.
Hi Scott,
this is an air cooled alternator, isn't it? Make sure the cooling is sufficient, the air duct to the alternator is clean. This is the most suspicions thing for me.
All the consumers are protected with fuses, these are not the culprit. Things, that are not protected: positive wire from alternator > jumper terminal > starter > chassis entry point > battery.
It is possible to have a temporary short at the jumper terminal if something is not right there, but I doubt it. However if you have it, that would kill the battery too.
Bad battery can draw a lot's of current, that would be my second guess, but yours is fairly new. And it usually doesn't kill the alternator.
The other possibility (but less likely) is the starter, which might draw extreme high current if it's broken. Is the speed of the cranking good with a fully charged battery?
Grounding issues wouldn't melt the alternator.
Don't expect higher voltage than 13.8V with running engine. This is a regulated voltage, if it alters more than ~0.5V something is wrong.
This is the water cooled 150a Bosch.
Thank you for the thoughts on the unprotected connections. I'll start there.
I don't think the Starter would draw through the diodes or the alternator... as described to me this was a draw when running; starting I'd think it would come from the battery.
Here's the rectifier diode bridge, these are the positive diodes
Thanks also for the 13.8 confirmation. That's what I had, and I was concerned that was low (I'm used to more out of the other cars I've owned/worked on).
AFAIK the 'theory' of alternaterism, the "field" current determines the output current of the alternator.
The field current is designed to "sense" the needs of the vehicle - so that greater needs result in greater output of current.
Could it be that the field current sensing mechanism went awry?

Maybe this is a shot in the dark, but nevertheless I spit it out:
Check the front passenger door for leaky vapour barrier. If yes - go and check below the front passenger carpet for corroded connections. These are high amps fuses.
These might go hand-in-hand with the GM3 & LCM - above the glovebox, where some other relays are housed. Check if there's water ingress from the sunroof or the cabin air filter.
If you ever spilled coffee or soda on central console, open it up and clean: flasher relay, central locking button and the airbag module connectors. Car battery out prior to these.
If you have the know-how, check & test the GM3 & LCM.
As I said, I might be totally off, but I had some issues pointing to very first one I mentioned (busted vapor barrier & correded contacts), affecting the LCM & GM3, and having some weird current draw on the battery. As I write this, I slowly eliminate these.
Looking for a DIY? Parts? Check this out, it might be your ticket
Stable: e39 RIP, e53, e46, e92is & Tribby
The 540 has a water cooled alternator, there is no ducting to clog up.
Doru, thank you for the suggestions. I'll lift the carpet and have a look under there. I've never spilled anything, but who knows what happened under prior owners.
Sort of getting to whits end here with this.
I had the melted alternator rebuilt and put it in the car.
Rebuilder said my Autozone battery was to blame. Told me to replace it or he'd void my warranty. Bought the Interstate he spec'd (not from him, he doesn't sell them)
Towed the car to my Indy to have the system tested.
Indy found a bad ignition switch and said the alternator was bad, again.
Called the rebuilder who said he thought my Indy didn't know what they were doing and to try someone else.
Ran that alternator for a few days with the new ignition switch to see if that helped. It didn't. It was overvolting - 14.5 on the OBC/15 at the jump post and causing the radio and hvac to cut out.
Bought a good used alternator. Put it in the car. It lasted 45 min in my driveway testing voltages and then 3 minutes on the highway before it died. No Overvolt, just quit producing voltage.
Tore it down myself and found 2 of the negative diodes bad. Replaced all the diodes and the regulator myself. Bearings and field test fine.
That alternator worked perfectly for lasted 4 days and 75 miles. 13.8 to 14 on the OBC, nice smooth voltage, no overvolts or anything on the radio. Dropped slightly at idle, but never below 12.6. No dimming lights or dash... just perfect. But then tonight I hopped in the car to come home and is now overvolting like crazy. 14.9v on the OBC / 15.5 at the jump terminal at RPM, shows battery voltage at idle - no charge at all.
Obviously something on the car is bad causing these alternators to fail. I don't know what. I've read the charging system PDF, but I can't really find anything. Everything I've read says 14.3v is about the max I should see on the OBC. I've got 14.9 and the battery light isn't on, so I don't think the car is correctly managing the charge - but I'm not sure how this "multifunction controller" thing works as a regulator.
We've checked fuses for shorts and visually inspected the wiring everywhere. The car has no other electrical symptoms to draw on as clues. Everything works correctly.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what to check next or how to find an Indy who can help me with this? Obviously I have to buy or rebuild another alternator for them to start with... but what's the point of just feeding another alternator to this beast. I'm already $1300 into this (two alternators, two batteries, an alternator rebuild, a round of diagnostics & an ignition switch). There's a limit to my willingness to spend on this before i just part the damn thing out.
Thanks for any further suggestions you have,
Time to find a well respected auto electric shop in your area.

It's a shot in the dark, but have you looked at the wiring harness in the trunk just to make sure that you don't have the frayed, cracked, and chaffed wires that many others have had, something like that could cause lot's of odd problems.

I bought one from BMW ($525) which at the time was about the only place to get one quickly, that I knew of.
The voltage regulator inside the top cover controls the output voltage, but is influenced by the DME signal from the 2 pin connector at the top front. Check to see that these wires are OK.
Pin 1 goes to F15, which should be supplying 12 volts to the alternator when the key is on.
Pin 2 goes directly to the DME, connector X60003.
You need to also check that the engine and battery grounds are good and clean. They have to be making a good connection as the alternator output voltage is referenced to ground. A bad ground connection can make the ground connection float to a voltage level above 0 volts, which is chassis ground.
Here are a few pics of what mine looked like. It was not rebuildable.
I just ordered a new regulator to fix a friends watercooled alt, should have it next Tuesday.

A voltage drop of 0.6 V (15.5 - 14.9) between the jump post and the instrument cluster appears high to me. A large voltage drop indicates high current flowing from the alternator to battery & then on to the car's circuits. Perhaps enough to be the suspected short mentioned in your initial post, especially considering your alternator may not be able to produce full current.
Checking current over ~10A with an inline ammeter will be difficult. While a clamp on DC ammeter won't be petty cash price it may be worthwhile to verify yes/no and then help trace high current to a problem. Or, an autoelectric shop with a good diagnostic technician would have one. I'll cross my fingers for you that if excess current draw is present it is not intermittent.
Regards "feeding another alternator to this beast" a suggestion off the top of my head. I don't know if this would work, but it's the best I can think of.
Find a high amp charger, with short protection if possible.
Disconnect the alternator wiring. Leave alternator on the engine.
Connect the +ve charger lead to the alternator power output cable. Connect -ve to car chassis. Wrap the clamps on +ve side to prevent any shorts to chassis or engine.
Leave the car battery in the trunk exactly as is, i.e. connected.
Start engine and trace amps and voltages to determine any shorts.
You would not be able to drive it, but would be able to duplicate vehicle operation without risking another alternator.
An alternate theory.
Any reason to suspect that coolant flow to your alternator is compromised?
If so, elevated temperature could be cooking the diodes &/or voltage regulator.
Regards finding a good autoelectric shop. If your alternator rebuilder doesn't do on car diagnosis, surely they can suggest one.
Thanks for the ideas. You're keeping me from losing my mind.
I have not inspected the trunk wiring harness. I will.
I don't suspect the coolant flow is compromised. I get good flow out of there when the key is turned on and the aux pump fires up (when the alt is removed).
I've checked and double checked the battery ground and the chassis/motor ground. I think I'll add another to the motor for good measure (have had to on other cars).
This happened on two different batteries, so I think I've ruled out the battery.
The more I look at this circuit and read the information you're sharing, the more its NOT that complicated.
12v on Pin1 to excite the field.
Pin 2 feeds a signal back to the DME to tell it what the Alt is doing - but that doesn't change the 12v on Pin 1, so it can't really impact the Alt behavior.
The alt is going to change charge based on RPM and voltage on pin 1, so either these alternators are all just bad, or what its reading on Pin 1 (across ground) is not right.
So... bad alternator(s), bad pin 1 or bad ground. That's really all this can be.

When I get the regulator next week I'll bench test the one I'm fixing for a friend. I do have a good spare one that I can compare it to.
2000 540/6 Slightly tweeked...everywhere
Someone mentioned, or I read, that if the battery were out of the circuit, there wouldn't be anything to "take" the alternator output and the voltage could skyrocket.
I wonder if the explosive disconnector on the battery is intermittently failing and taking the battery out of the circuit. I sort of discount this because the car never has a start issue, which I'd expect with an intermittent battery disconnection.
There is no such thing as a negative or positive diode as far as I know. A diode has an anode and a cathode which is similar to a positive side and a negative side as diodes only pass current in one direction, but I would think you alternator guy just had bad luck. In your case since you seem to have "bad luck" with your electrical, why not buy from Autozone which has a lifetime guarantee on just about everything like this and if you lose another alternator you can replace it for nothing and will certainly have the proof that you need to look elsewhere, but I suspect that something was shorted in your alternator internally. You should not have to prove it wasn't your car if you had a warranty from this guy. You should not accept his "anger" as proof that he is "off the hook". Sounds to me his is just leading with a good offense and putting the responsibility on you to prove your car is not responsible. Give him your car to install a new one and let him find your "defect". Don't waste time with vapor barrier as alternator can handle a 50 amp load no problem and if it had one, the fuse should still blow no matter what.
You're right, a diode is a diode, but its which side is +/- - the lead or the case. On a circuit board, you just turn them around. In this situation the case presses into a plate.
I'm over the rebuilder... I agree with you, but I don't much care to address it with him.
I did suggest I'd bring him the car and let him test it - not confrontationally but just so he could see his alternator was/was not the problem. He wasn't interested.
I put a Lifetime warranty rebuild in it from Napa. so far, so good. 40 miles in. last few lasted 6mi and 75mi, so we should know shortly.
So the rebuilder didn't do such a hot job.
Just curious, what does NAPA charge for one?
2000 540/6 Slightly tweeked...everywhere
I believe (but unsure) these are the same as the rebuilds sold by the BMW dealer. I had one of those installed in my car back at around 81k miles (7 years ago). It died at 192k miles a couple weeks ago. Lifetime warranty on the part/two year labor (but only if they install it). So I had it replaced, and all parts covered, including coolant, hose clamps and a few other incidentals...but they still hit me for about $450 in labor anyway (3.5 hours)
Keep us posted......
540 M-Sport package (Canadian market), factory Bluetooth phone integration, factory M-Audio 10" dual voice coil subs, Homelink, M5 rear stabilizer bar, M5 rear subframe braces, H&R 15mm wheel spacers, ST X (KW) coilovers, Stop Tech ss brake lines, Akebono Euro Ceramic brake pads, oem Brembo and Zimmerman rotors, Dinan Stage 1 software, Strong Strut front upper stress bar, BMP strut tower reinforcement kit, USA Spec Ipod/Iphone integration.
Napa's pricing varies by whether its corporate or a franchise. I'm lucky enough to live/travel by a corporate distribution center which is about 20% less than my local franchise (who I do USE, except for big ticket items like this).
There were 5 options.
$284 for a rebuilt with a Lifetime warranty built by a 3rd party (MPA). This is the one the sales guys talked me into.
$459 for a Napa rebuilt w/ a 3 year warranty
$494 for a Napa rebuilt w/ a lifetime warranty
$589 or 1029 for Bosch rebuilt w/ a 1 year warranty
They had all but the most expensive in stock. I was ready to buy the Napa w/ the lifetime warranty for $500. They talked me out of it. Said they'd sold/shipped tons of the $284 and had nearly none come back, so they saw no reason I shouldn't buy that one.
Its been in the car 220 miles now. 40mi Saturday eve and 180 today. Voltage is everything I've read on the web. Just about no charge at idle, stable 13.7 on the OBC at speed.
220mi is more than the last 3 put together.
This being the 6th or 7th time I've swapped it, I'm down to an hour, including filtering/recovering the drained coolant and refilling/burping the system. This time, in the rain, ha ha.
As far as "rebuilder just screwed up"... well I'd certainly call what I did suspect. I've never rebuilt an alternator before and I did have a hell of a time getting the diodes soldered in. I'm going to tear down the one I rebuilt (the most recent failure) and see if I see anything inside.
The one the rebuilder did? Probably has some sort of break down in the field. Probably heat related. No idea.
I suppose I could rig up a test rig and immerse the alternator in boiling water and try and reproduce it in a testable environment... but I'm not sure I'm that interested.
i also noticed nobody mentioned the stock bumper has built in cooling vents that directs air to the alternator. when i bought my car, i noticed it was stuffed with bugs and leaves.
2000 540/6 Slightly tweeked...everywhere
Why has no one mentioned Autozone who has a lifetime guarantee and I don't believe has any restrictions on install. You bring in the defective one and they give you another. Likely cheaper than Napa.
12k miles now, at least. Maybe 14k. Still monitor it. Nary a hiccup. I'd buy another.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida has had a smooth start to a primary election Tuesday that will set the field for a race that could determine whether Democrats regain control of the U.S. Senate, the state's top elections official said.
Secretary of State Ken Detzner said there were slight delays in opening some polling places, but described no other glitches so far in an election in which more than 1.75 million Floridians have already cast ballots by mail or at early-voting stations.
"Things have been running very, very smoothly," said Detzner, an appointee of Republican Gov. Rick Scott.
This year's primary turnout could top ones held in 2012 and 2014— a sign...

Apollo 13 (1995)
45 mistakes
Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Bill Paxton, Ed Harris, Gary Sinise, Kevin Bacon, Tom Hanks
Vote on Apollo 13, Bill Paxton and more movies at The Big Fat List
Factual error: The astronauts are shown taking their suits off before docking, but in real life they were not allowed to do this, in case of sudden cabin depressurization.
Factual error: Technician John Aaron states that the damaged ship will need to use "less amps than this" as he points to a vintage 'Mr. Coffee' coffee-maker on his desk. Mr. Coffee was not introduced until 1972.
Factual error: During the Engine 5 cutoff, they show the abort handle unarmed. However, it is required that the abort handle be armed throughout the entire launch.
Factual error: When Lovell's daughter is complaining that the Beatles have broken up, she slams the album Let It Be into her rack. The scene takes place on the day of the initial explosion aboard Apollo 13, April 13 1970 - immediately prior to the Lovell family attending the screening of a television broadcast from the spacecraft. Let It Be was not released as an album until May 9th, 1970.
Factual error: When they're flying around the backside of the moon, they mention the Tsiolkovskiy crater on the lunar farside, then mention they can see Mare Tranquillitatis and Fra Mauro - which are on opposite sides of the moon.
Other mistake: Mission Control in Houston calls up "B.P.C. Clear", meaning that the 'Boost Protective Cover' has been safely jettisoned during ascent. However, the call comes on screen before it is shown being jettisoned.
Factual error: The fiery rocket plume left behind the Saturn V as it is ascending directly after lift off is far too small and short. In reality the flaming rocket plume was easily 2 to 3 times the diameter of the entire ship and at least 3 to 4 times the length.
Factual error: Moments before and during the lift-off of the Saturn V, Ken Mattingly is shown to be watching from a somewhat private grassy field. Wherever he is supposed to be, he is far too close to the launch pad. No unauthorized persons were allowed to be that close, and certainly not in an undisclosed and unsupervised area, not the least of which was for security reasons. The fact that Mattingly is an astronaut would not give him carte blanch to do this, and his training and discipline would prevent his ever attempting doing so in the first place. In reality, Mattingly was in Houston at Mission Control at the time. Otherwise it is a nice shot.
Factual error: On several occasions the astronauts address the Capcom as "Andy." None of the Apollo 13 Capcoms were named Andy. Their names were Jack Lousma, Joe Kerwin, Bill Pogue and Vance Brand.
Deliberate mistake: During the scene where the astronauts are building the makeshift CO2 scrubbers, the camera zooms out of the lunar module through the window, and we can see that the interior of the lunar module is oriented incorrectly compared to the exterior. The tunnel leading to the command module is on the top in the interior shot, but on the left in the exterior shot.
Factual error: During the launch sequence, all nine swingarms on the launch tower are seen retracting, one by one, as the Saturn V reaches full thrust. In real life, only five swingarms would still be attached to the rocket during this phase. These "in-flight" arms would swing away as the rocket lifted off and cleared the launcher.
Deliberate mistake: Near the end of the movie, there is a shot of the "Iwo Jima" with the two recovery helicopters taking off. For a moment, you can see the number 11 on the inboard side of the ship's island, which identifies it as the USS New Orleans (LPH-11), a sister of the Iwo Jima. Admittedly, it was the best the producers could do, since by the time the movie was made, the Iwo Jima (LPH-2) had been decommissioned.
Continuity mistake: When the Astronauts are in space and are taking their equipment off, look at Kevin Bacon's hands. The gloves he wears under the Space gloves are taken off and the next scene shows him with them on.
Factual error: When the LM separates from the CM just prior to re-entry, what you see in the film is an undocking, rather than a jettison. The difference is that in a jettison the CM's docking probe is pulled out of the CM to make way for parachute deployment, while in an undocking the probe (the triangular shaped thing pointing "forward" of the CM) is left to allow for redocking later. And in case you're wondering how the astronauts transferred between the two while docked with the probe in place, the answer is that they didn't - they dismantled it to create the tunnel. As an interesting aside, in real life the CAPCOM (I think it was Joe Kerwin) gave a go for "undocking" then corrected himself moments later using the phrase "correction, go for jettison").
Factual error: The White Team, led by Gene Kranz did not handle the launch of Apollo 13. This was done by Milt Windler's Maroon Team.
Continuity mistake: Just before Gene Kranz draws a circle on the chalkboard to indicate the Earth, the erased circles from previous takes can be seen. He then draws a hasty, sloppy unclosed circle, but subsequent shots a few seconds later show a neater, closed circle.
Factual error: It is shown that people are casually having conversation next to the giant rocket-ship transporter, known as the 'crawler'. In fact, the crawler is so noisy that no one could possibly have a conversation near it. All technicians who 'drive' the crawler (an eight man crew) and anyone in the vicinity of an operating crawler wear sound-cancelling headphones whenever near it.
Factual error: The initial smoke shown coming out of the rocket gimbals during 'ignition sequence start' is not nearly fast or 'enthusiastic' enough. Additionally, there was in fact only a very tiny amount of white smoke/vapor emitted, and it almost instantly developed into a fiery, violent semi-transparent rocket plume. There is just way too much white vapor for too long a period shown in the film.
Revealing mistake: In the final 1/2 hour there's a scene in which Kevin Bacon is drifting weightlessly in the lunar module, with a roll of duct tape floating nearby. Just during the last couple of seconds of this shot, suddenly he & the roll accelerate to the right. As everyone now knows the zero-g scenes were photographed on-board an aircraft which flies free-fall arcs for up to about 20 seconds before having to level off. The sudden acceleration on the set means that shot was filmed just as the plane was leveling off from a dive.
Factual error: When the cabin temperature drops, an astronaut's breath is visible. His visible breath rises as he exhales. This is an effect of gravity - on earth the water vapor in breath, which is the component that becomes visible in the cold, rises because it is lighter than the surrounding air. Since the astronaut was in a "weightless" environment, his breath should have travelled in a straight path from his mouth into the surrounding atmosphere, rather than rising.

Comforting face of American newsreading dies of cancer
Page Tools
Peter Jennings ... soothing sense of continuity.
Photo: Reuters
New York: Peter Jennings, the suave, Canadian-born television broadcaster who delivered the news to Americans each night in five separate decades, has died of cancer aged 67.
Jennings, who announced in April that he had lung cancer, died on Sunday at his apartment.
With Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather, Jennings was part of a triumvirate that dominated US network news through the birth of cable news and the internet.
Jennings was the face of ABC News whenever a big story broke. He logged more than 60 hours on the air during the week of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, offering a soothing sense of continuity during a troubled time.
"There are a lot of people who think our job is to reassure the public every night that their home, their community and their nation is safe," he once said.
"I don't subscribe to that at all. I subscribe to leaving people with essentially - sorry, it's a cliche - a rough draft of history. Some days it's reassuring, some days it's absolutely destructive."
In the taped announcement he made to reveal he would begin treatment for cancer, a husky-voiced Jennings said: "I will continue to do the broadcast. On good days my voice will not always be like this." But he never again appeared on the air.

Watch Brian Wilson and Jeff Beck Play Together on 'Jimmy Fallon'
Tourmates Brian Wilson and Jeff Beck dropped by Jimmy Fallon's late-night TV show last night and performed a pair of songs together.
Tourmates Brian Wilson and Jeff Beck dropped by Jimmy Fallon's late-night TV show last night and performed a pair of songs together.
Can't make it out for any of the shows on Brian Wilson and Jeff Beck's big fall tour together? Jimmy Fallon's got you covered.
The Brian Wilson - Jeff Beck tour kicked off to a huge response on Friday night (September 27th) at Hollywood, Florida's Hard Rock Live.
Jeff Beck told a Miami radio station this week that he ran into Robert Plant recently and the legendary pair are talking about working together next year.
Rod Stewart toured with Stevie Nicks last year, he'll hit the road with Steve Winwood later this fall and he's daydreaming about a series of dates with Elton John. But don't hold your breath for any shows with Stewart's old partner Jeff Beck.
Remembering the legend of Stevie Ray Vaughan on the 23rd anniversary of his passing.
Jeff Beck will team up with Brian Wilson for an 18-date tour this fall. The run begins on Sept. 27 in Florida before working up the East Coast and then zigzagging across the country for a final date on Oct. 27 in Akron. Wilson's fellow Beach Boys Al Jardine and David Marks will also join him onstage.

Hey guys. Im new to this website. I used to be on Bimmerforums.com but found alot of info different between euro and us spec cars.
I have owned an E46 328ise and an E92 335i and now im on an E36 328.
I swapped the manifold for the M50 about 4 days ago and i cant say i have really noticed a difference.. Yesterday i had to have another stab at it as i didnt realise the IAT sensor needed swapping out for the M52 sensor. I have now done this but last night i raced my friend with a standard 328i and we were running side by side to 120mph.. Is there a sort of 'learning' time the car has to go through before it really starts making use of the extra airflow or am i just after a remap?

So I go to sleep last night with a perfectly functional iPhone and wake up this morning to find that the touchscreen decided to stop working. Tried resetting it and all that to no avail, the touchscreen is apparently dead My next step is to try and restore it but there's 2 things I need help with...
1) There's about 6 unread text messages and I NEED info from 4 of them, is there any way to possibly SSH into my phone and view them?
2) And is there any way to keep all my apps (save to computer or something, idk if this is possible) so I can just put them back on my phone after restore?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Temple, Danielle Lolene Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-05092007-150605 Title Spatial Ecology of Gray Foxes on a Longleaf Pine Forest and the Surrounding Landscape in Southwestern Georgia Degree Master of Science (M.S.) Department Renewable Natural Resources Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Michael J. Chamberlain Committee Chair L. Mike Conner Committee Member Michael Stine Committee Member Keywords
- gray fox
- Urocyon cinereoargenteus
- longleaf pine
- industrial agriculture
- habitat selection
- survival
- cause-specific mortality
- home range
- kinship
Date of Defense 2007-05-03 Availability unrestricted AbstractIn the southeastern United States, industrial agriculture dominates the landscape, and much of the native land cover is in decline. Longleaf pine forests were once a dominant ecosystem in this region, but have largely disappeared. However, little research has been conducted on how this loss affects wildlife, especially mammalian predators. With increasing restoration efforts for longleaf pine it is important to assess the impact on species that inhabit those landscapes. Gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) are native to the Southeast, but are adaptable to a wide range of habitats. Therefore, during 2002-2006 I studied a population of gray foxes on land managed for longleaf pine (Ichauway plantation) and the surrounding agriculture and residential landscape.
Gray fox habitat selection did not differ across seasons (P > 0.050) at any of the 3 spatial scales examined, but was non random at all scales (P ≤ 0.050). Gray foxes preferred habitat types that were rare or not available on Ichauway including residential areas, hardwood forests, and industrial agriculture. Gray foxes were largely found partially or completely off Ichauway. In fact, gray foxes that overlapped Ichauway were found closer (Λ = 12.06, P < 0.001) to the borders of Ichauway than expected. Annual survival was 0.610 ± 0.100. Sixteen deaths were documented, and human causes (i.e., vehicle collisions) accounted for most (n=10) of these. Gray fox mortality from human caused sources may have been higher than in most other populations because of the selection of anthropogenic habitat and lack of trapping. Home range sizes differed between seasons (F2,34 = 3.97, P = 0.030), with home ranges in winter (152.43 ± 32.02 ha) being larger than either breeding (91.42 ± 12.93 ha) or kit-rearing (99.68 ± 18.27 ha) seasons. Grafen's kinship coefficient was used to examine relatedness through genetic analysis. No correlation was detected between distance of trapped gray foxes with one another and their genetic distance for either 2004-2005 or 2005-2006 (P > 0.1). Preliminary evidence suggested that closer relatives may be more apt to overlap one another's spatial use area.

And just like that, it's over.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' five-year marriage is done and the divorce case is closed, reports AP.
Court records filed in a New York City court indicate the divorce was rubber-stamped on Monday. Their lawyers and reps wouldn't disclose details.
The news comes just shy of two months after Holmes and Cruise announced the surprising news that they were splitting. The stars reached an agreement in July less than two weeks after that.
