"Really loved the easily personalized cards and the envelopes were good quality as well. My order arrived well before the promised date - an added bonus."
"As usual with Tinyprints, the quality of this card is exceptional. I was extremely happy with it and the turn around time was unbelievable. I ordered on a Sunday and it was on my doorstep on Tuesday. I ordered the blue version with the traditional rectangle shape and the solid blue back with three captioned pics. It looks fantastic! Almost too good to be true for the price, but that's why I love this company and order from them regularly. Also, I can't say enough about the customer service at Tinyprints. From my experience, It is one of the best companies for putting the customer first and making sure you are satisfied. I have been a customers for years and anytime I have had a problem with a finished product, the issue is resolved and a replacement immediately sent. And...they don't send my call out of the country and keep me on the phone for hours haggling over it. They are courteous, professional and efficient."
"After rescuing my 7 year old pit bull mix in September, I knew her sweet face would make for a charming holiday card. Not only that, but I know how much she delights my friends and family, so the search was on for a holiday card that would capture her personality. I got rave reviews from those who received the card! It's simple and cute. The card stock is nice and thick, and allowed me to write a message on the back without it bleeding through to the other side. Customization was easy and I was walked through each step of the process. I can't wait to have another reason to buy cards from TinyPrints.com!"
"This is a beautiful and simple card that works so well for black and white shots. The extra postage is not appealing but it is worth it for the card."
"Perfect, we loved it and so did everyone else. I used a photo editor app on my phone to create it. I only wish you had it as an option. Great job.Looking forward to future projects from you."

/// New Series Take a Beating on Tuesday Night
For all the sampling of new broadcast series people did last week, it's starting to look as if viewers are more interested in the established shows. This is good news for NBC and CBS and perhaps not so good for everyone else. Deliveries for Tuesday night's half-dozen freshmen series dropped significantly—and, in some cases, to unsustainable levels. Fox's comedy block appears to have Bambi legs , as newbies Dads and Brooklyn Nine-Nine are faltering in the 8-9 p.m. time slot, while ABC's entire lineup of new shows is falling fast. According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, Episode 3 of Dads dropped another 13 percent to a 1.3 in the adults 18-49 demo, while Brooklyn Nine-Nine fell 22 percent to a 1.4. When compared to their premieres, the numbers look even worse: Since bowing on Sept. 17 , Dads has lost 41 percent of its target audience, while Brooklyn Nine-Nine is down 46 percent. While the efficacy of the old lead-in/flow model may be questionable in the DVR era, it would appear that the first hour is starting to sap the 9-10 p.m. players. New Girl dropped 10 percent to a 1.9 in the demo, tying a series low (Jan. 15, 2013), while The Mindy Project was flat (1.5). The relative affluence of both fan bases should go a long way toward allaying any outright panic, but these are clearly not the results for which Fox was hoping. Fox projects that New Girl will pull a 2.8 or 2.9 rating upon application of three days of playback, while Mindy will land in a slightly more respectable neighborhood (1.9-2.0). Despite a promising start, ABC's Tuesday night is also under fire. Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. dove 34 percent to a 3.1 in the dollar demo, and while that makes it the second highest-rated new drama series behind NBC's The Blacklist , the loss was well beyond the standard 15-20 percent erosion. The usual disclaimers about lead-ins aside, it was all downhill from there. After bowing

I generally read print books, but sometimes I read an e-book. In this case the book that I wanted to read was not available in print here at the Fond du Lac Public Library, but it was available to me as an e-book through the Library from the Wisconsin Digital Library (Overdrive). I did a virtual check-out of Wicked Watertown: History You Weren't Supposed to Know by W. F. Jannke published as a print book in 2010 and as an e-book in 2012.
Bestselling chick-lit author Jennifer Weiner goes a bit darker with her newest book All Fall Down, a compelling story about the price some people pay in the pursuit of having it all. Weiner tackles the growing epidemic in our society of middle and upper-class suburban parents who abuse prescription medication to cope with their overworked and overstressed lifestyles, yet writes this story beautifully and in a way that doesn't make you hate the addict or necessarily feel sorry for her either.

from the link to Popular Mechanics debunker article:
Intercepts Not Routine
CLAIM: "It has been standard operating procedures for decades to immediately intercept off-course planes that do not respond to communications from air traffic controllers," says the Web site oilempire.us. "When the Air Force 'scrambles' a fighter plane to intercept, they usually reach the plane in question in minutes."
FACT: In the decade before 9/11, NORAD intercepted only one civilian plane over North America: golfer Payne Stewart's Learjet, in October 1999. With passengers and crew unconscious from cabin decompression, the plane lost radio contact but remained in transponder contact until it crashed. Even so, it took an F-16 1 hour and 22 minutes to reach the stricken jet. Rules in effect back then, and on 9/11, prohibited supersonic flight on intercepts. Prior to 9/11, all other NORAD interceptions were limited to offshore Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZ). "Until 9/11 there was no domestic ADIZ," FAA spokesman Bill Schumann tells PM. After 9/11, NORAD and the FAA increased cooperation, setting up hotlines between ATCs and NORAD command centers, according to officials from both agencies. NORAD has also increased its fighter coverage and has installed radar to monitor airspace over the continent.
I forget the year but in the late 90s i think 1998 a small passenger plane landed ON THE FUCKING WHITE HOUSE LAWN !!!
There is a 1 mile or more no fly zone over the white house. If i remember correctly there is anti aircraft weapons on the roof of the white house, yet some idiot lost pilot in a cessna or similar small craft was able to get on the white house lawn.
How did this happen? answer ? Pussification of america by leftist media and bleeding hearts. Same reason the marine barricks in lebonon were blown up in the 80s (guards that were "Armed" with no bullets .... god forbid they shoot someone that would be worse than 200 marine dieing, and the same reason the USS cole was taken, if i recall is the deck hands were not armed per the captains orders, so the small boat was able to drive up to ship side. If a battle ship cant stop a smal boat or the white house cant shoot down a cessna or ARMED GUARD cant stop a suicide bomber on a active base, what is so hard to belive about the twin towers. These conspiracists give no context for their ideas, its all hypothetical. Not to mention the trouble of shooting down a domestic run away plane in peace times in a non conflict area in the middle of the day in NYC. HMMMM thats not exactly ripe for scandal either. No one wants to admit its a damned if you do damned if you dont. The america hater love it. Just like they want to have us not fight terrorism, but when it happens they blame the US government. NIIIIIICE thanks for telling me whos side your on.

A good friend of mine works in the 'business' of air defense for the USA and has these thoughts.
A couple things on that from an "insiders" perspective.
1. Since the "fall" of the Soviet Union the number of combat alert aircraft has been reduced to nearly none. There just isn't the threat from other countrys. The Chinese do not have the air re-fueling capability to launch a raid on North America and then they would be attacking the WEST coast.
2. It takes some time to reconfigure an aircraft from "training configuration" to " air combat configuration". It's not as easy as swaping out the inerts for war shots. Software has to be changed, safetys have to be reconfigured or dis-abled, it takes several hours per aircraft.
3. Norad was never envisioned to defend the country from a threat that originated within the contental U.S. The use of hijacked passenger aircraft for bombs was just never considered as anything more than a novlists story ending. Norads radars look out searching for INcoming bombers and missles. They are not looking for commercial air traffic on established transit routes. That is the job of the FAA's air traffic control system, not the military.
4. How long has it been since the last domestic hijacking? I'd hazzard a guess most of the troops on duty that day were still in kindergarden when D.B. Cooper hijacked that 727. Domestic hijackings have been so rare that there was no provision or procedure in the manuals. Improvisation is as much as could be expected under the circumstance.
5. Those F-15's at Otis were most likly the only "alert" (armed, combat ready fighters) in the whole lower 48 at the time. Now with that they were probably on 20 minute alert. A 20 minute alert means that it's going to be 20 minutes from the call to wheels up flying. After wheels up then it's ? time to intercept. At full burner it would have taken another 15 minutes to New York City to intercept what target? Without AWACS (Airborne Warning And Control System) to vector them to a target they would have been guessing at which airplane to shoot at. The nearest AWACS aircraft was in Oklahoma that morning and it takes several hours for something in an old 707 airframe to get that far. Remember the NORAD radar in Maine looks north east and is fixed, you can't move it to look anywhere else, This is an antenna the size of a LARGE building, in fact it is a large building. This stuff was built in the fifties through the seventies to guard against an attack by the SOVIET UNION not United Airlines.
Oh yes with out a tanker in the air our intreped fighter pilots would have about ten minutes loiter over New York after running down on full burner. Then they would be wheels down at Kennedy looking for a fuel bouser. Washington D.C.? Your on your own, an F-15 only has a limited range at high mach numbers.
Then again there are only four birds on alert to begin with and those in upper New York state. They get the order to launch two at 8:37 and the first tower is hit at 8:51. Twenty minutes to wheels up on the fighters you do the math.
I've known this guy a long time, and would take his experience over the conspiracy clowns bullshit conjecture any day.

Jamiesann, wasn't the Cole more due to the waters it was in? As in, they weren't allowed to fire unless first fired upon? Which they weren't really attacked until the boat exploded... but I at least know what you were getting at. Just saying, it was international policy that dictated that one.
Although the US has found a way around it somewhat... directional sound weapons. The such that the sound doesn't act like traditional speakers, as you can only hear it where it's being pointed and it doesn't dissipate over distance. They were saying you could warn a ship with it (as it's a non-lethal measure) by practically blowing out the eardrums off the assailants :p
Was watching something I think on the Discovery Channel about it. Think it even mentioned they want to use it in Iraq. Talk about a good way to disorient enemies to get the drop on them.

A 64 bit float already gives you almost 20 significant figures; which should be sufficient for this use case.
Besides which, the metre itself is defined with reference to the speed of light, which has not been measured to a precision of anywhere near 20 significant figures.

I debated myself for a couple days as to whether or not I wanted to write this blog. It will almost certainly cause me some trouble, but at some point I think trouble is worth it when it means we can come to a better understanding of ourselves and each other.
In my last blog post, I mentioned that my wife and I were going on vacation. That was only half the story, it was actually a "working" vacation, so for half of the week I attended the 20th CBF National Assembly in Tampa. (I will post my thoughts on Tampa, and the convention as a whole later)
The elephant in the room, or at least in the hallways, was whether or not the CBF, or any of the leadership, would make any kind of official statement about the "issue" of homosexuality. Of course the vote that was taking place in the New York State Senate during the convention heightened expectations, but ultimately didn't lead to any satisfaction for those looking for an official word.
I heard a story about a state level CBF official who was asked on a college campus what the "official stance" of the CBF was in regards to homosexuality, and his response was, "we have the same stance as Habitat for Humanity, if you are willing to swing a hammer we will work alongside you." While I love this answer, it does stop short of what is needed from our leadership. This is a divisive issue among our churches and in society as a whole, and these are just the things I think I think about it.
Lets be clear, when we say the "issue" of homosexuality, and when people debate it in the hallways, we are actually talking, not about one issue, but three:
- The Legality of Homosexual Marriage
- The Acceptance of Homosexuals in our Churches
- The Affirmation of Homosexuality as a lifestyle
First, on the issue of Homosexual Marriage. This, to me, seems the most obvious and easy place for the CBF to take an official stance. If the government of the United States is going to be involved in marriage (and the libertarian in me asks why they are) then we should not allow the government to discriminate against people because of a religious belief. Being founded on a principle of separation of church and state, it would seem that all Baptists could, and should, come forward to speak out for justice for all citizens of the United States. Now, if there are reasons that aren't religious to continue to disallow homosexual marriage, then that would muddy the waters, but frankly I haven't heard any. Since the CBF already publicly supports institutions such as the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, this would not cause much of a stir among the churches. In fact, my guess is that the CBF would say that their support for BJC is a tacit statement in itself. So this seems like a pretty easy place to start, and one that would not cause any fractures within the fellowship community. (of course, that's an easy thing to assume from the safety of my keyboard!)
With the easiest question out of the way, lets move on to the issues that could cause a little more disturbance in the "fellowship" force. In order, they are, "do we accept homosexuals as equals?" and "do we affirm homosexuality as a lifestyle," or put more bluntly, do we say "homosexuality is not a sin?"
I think the first question is not that difficult. If "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God," even if we call homosexuality a sin, it certainly isn't the sinniest sin that ever sinned, right? Its not more sinful than marital infidelity, right? Or greed? Or lying? So if we as churches say that homosexuals aren't welcome, then what we are really saying is no sinners are welcome, which would certainly help churches that have parking problems! Now, I have heard some say that the difference is that homosexuals aren't repentant. That is certainly a valid point, but frankly ignores the reality of our brokenness has humans, and God's capacity to forgive seventy times seven. I think here again, the CBF on an institutional level would be well within their bounds to make an official statement stressing the common humanity of homosexuals, and the common love that God has for all people. If God loves people, all people, then He doesn't want any of them bullied, or treated as less-than, or discriminated against, or told they are unworthy of a place at the table. We as churches should understand the civil rights movement taking place, and take our stand along side those seeking simple equality of treatment.
From here, the issue gets a little more complex. Being limited to a work force compiled of exactly 100% sinners, most churches among the the Fellowship are willing to allow sinners to serve the church, and I would assume that since we've already established that at the very most homosexuality is just one of a berjillion human failings, we would allow them to serve our churches as well. Do we allow them to lead? That is another question altogether, and its at this point that I think the issue gets divisive.
To me, it seems that this moves to the level of affirmation, since most churches are seeking leaders who at least try to model Christ-likeness before their people. Now, certainly, Christ-likeness can't be understood by a simple list of things-we-do and things-we-don't-do, but it is an overall pursuit of Godliness. Like it or not, many churches, and their people, still believe homosexuality to be against God's created order. They have come to this belief honestly using the best scholarship of Biblical texts, cultural understandings of the past and current church and society, and leading of the Spirit. In other words, they have every right to believe this way, as they have come to it honestly, and not by simply prooftexting Leviticus.
On the other hand, many believe that the Bible's treatment of homosexuality is a cultural component that belongs in the dustbin alongside women being forced to cover their heads, and prohibitions on bacon. (mmmm.... bacon....) These believers have come to understand that God is love, and God honors loving committed relationships, even if they are among the same sex. They have also come to believe that God desires humble servants who seek to help the poor, lost, and hungry and that He doesn't discriminate when it comes to His workforce. These believers have also come to their position honestly, and not with a reckless disregard for Scripture as some would have you believe.
Many CBF churches are part of CBF, not because they are liberals, (whatever that means these days) but because they don't want theological positions imposed on their churches from on high. As Baptists, we have always resisted theological statements that go beyond the very basics of our faith, and rightly so. I think for the CBF to make a statement affirming homosexuality would be a step beyond simply pursuing justice and love for all, and move to an imposition of a theological position on the Fellowship Churches. So at this point I would say the CBF should remain open to churches and individuals who affirm, but institutionally neutral. In this way we preserve the unity of the Fellowship and preserve the autonomy of the local churches that have many varied theological positions on this most important of debates.
So I think the CBF can, and perhaps should, come out with a statement that on a State and National level, we are Open and Open.
Open to homosexuals being equal parts of society and of our churches, and open to churches and individuals who have genuinely come to either position on the affirmation of homosexuality as a lifestyle that honors God.
Like I said at the outset, I'm sure this makes pretty much nobody happy, but I think it is true to who we are as Baptist Christians, and free people worshiping freely.

Phosphorus : A Psychic Sponge
Homeopathic Journal :: Volume: 2, Issue: 3, Jan 2009 (Centre Stage) - from Homeorizon.com
|Article Updated: Oct 18, 2009
Dr. Singh: Hello Mati, how are you?
Dr.Mati: Thanks, I am fine and hope the same for you. Now, for this Winter Special Issue, which chilly medicine have you chose to talk about?
Dr. Singh: Oh! Well its PHOSPHORUS. I was going through your description of Phosphorus, I felt I was going through the diary of a child who never grew. Not because she was stubborn as Calcarea or stunted as Baryta but because she is a child at heart, quick, impulsive who could never learn to behave controlled as an Adult. Sort of " ID- Governed". You told that Phos has a weak sense of Identity. What does it mean and how does it cause her problem?
Dr.Mati: The main problem in Phosphorus is a deep sense of separation, or isolation at her very core. Perhaps there was a lack of bonding between mom and baby at birth? One of my Phosphorus friends was born too early and had to spend time in an incubator before she got to bond with her mom. Or, it could be that circumstances in her mom's life made her pre-occupied with other things, so even though she nursed the baby and took care of her physically, she didn't really give her the kind of energy or bonding that she needed. Whatever the reason was, Phosphorus was left with a sense that she was unloved or unwanted by the family.
I remember one case that illustrates this perfectly. It was a 3 year old girl who failed to thrive. She was losing weight, she was losing her hair by the handful and she had totally lost her "spark". The mother was a single mother of 3, struggling to survive by working, studying and trying to take care of her 3 kids all by herself. The little girl was number 3, and probably didn't feel wanted since the mom didn't have much energy left at the end of the day to pay much attention to her. (Phosporus solved the case beautifully!)
When it comes to identity, we often define ourselves in terms of how we relate to others. If others like us, we feel good. If others praise us, our sense of who we are becomes stronger. And the opposite is also true. Without that kind of attention, we get a weak sense of identity. Although Phosphorus feels like a princess, or like she is a person of nobility, she still isn't really sure about it, so she needs a lot of conformation from others. And if the conformation doesn't come from her parents, she will look for it elsewhere.
This is why Phosporus has become an expert at making friends. She compensates for the feeling of being unwanted by being overly friendly to others, and because she is charming and seems to have an inner "spark," it is very easy for her to make lots of new friends. This is one clue that makes it very easy to differentiate between Arsenicum and Phosphorus. They can both be demanding and have lots of fears, especially in the dark, but if you look at how many friends they have, you can easily see which one is the Phosphorus. Arsenicum feels like people don't really like her very much, and she may only have a handful of friends that she can count on, while Phosphorus has lots and lots of friends, and the thought that people doesn't like her, doesn't even enter her mind.
Dr. Singh: Making so many friends, how do they cope. I mean Does Phos also has a multi faceted personality. Like she is timid shy, but then she is also jealous, proud and critical
Dr.Mati: To understand Phosphorus' multi-faceted personality, we have to look at her core story to understand where she is coming from.
In the story, Phosphorus was a princess or a queen, or at least a person of very high rank. She must have had servants and a lot of power, and she must have been able to get whatever she wanted with the point of a finger. Unfortunately, it takes more than physical things to make someone happy. Love is also needed, but love can't be forced or demanded. The people in Phosphorus' life wisely kept a certain distance from her so they wouldn't upset her, because if they did, who knows what she would do to them! So basically, Phosphorus feels unloved and isolated, even though she is in a more privileged position than anyone else. She stops appreciating anything that is given to her, and can easily become nasty if anyone says no to her.
Because friends are so important to her, she believes that beauty is her greatest asset, so beauty can easily become an obsession to her. She has to be the most beautiful person in her group, and if she isn't, she can turn into the evil queen of Snowhite, so watch out!
Because of her sense of isolation and loneliness, and her desire for company at any cost, her relationships will suffer. Having friends means everything to her! Every remedy has developed a survival mechanism to be able to deal with the demands of the world, and making friends has become the survival mechanism for Phosphorus. Having friends is so important to her that she is willing to bend over backwards and do anything for her friends...at first...
However, this state never lasts very long. She acts as a doormat that people can wipe their feet on, but only until they get in the door! Then everything changes! Once they become her friends, she stops bending over backwards to get their attention. Now she DEMANDS attention! This is where Pulsatilla and Phosphorus are different. Pulsatilla is also affectionate and wants people to love her, but while Pulsatilla is hoping for affection to be given in return, Phosphorus is demanding it, or else, she will make you suffer!!! And she doesn't just demand your love once in a while; she wants it all the time, every day! She wants constant proof that you love her, because deep inside, she feels so insecure that she doesn't really know if anyone loves her. Therefore, she becomes totally addicted to having her love confirmed, all the time. (We often see this in the fairy tales, too, where the princess says to the knight " If you love me, you will do this for me..." She comes up with one task more impossible than the other, and the knight may even have to risk his life for her, just to prove his love! He would probably be better off running away while he still can, but unfortunately, he doesn't know that, so by the time they actually get together, he may already hate her for all the things she put him through – which then in turn proves to her, her core delusion, that she isn't really loved by anyone. And the patterns go on and on...)
Dr. Singh: Well! Thanks for your advice, I have never (yet) met an "Evil-witch sort of Phos" and now I hope I would never. But what is her Core Delusion, her central feeling which governs the whole of her persona?
Dr.Mati: So, the core delusion that goes with Phosphorus is that nobody really loves her, and this is a big problem for someone whose whole life has become an obsession about being loved. The story we are dealing with is the story about the evil queen of Snowhite. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all? Her friends are her "mirrors." She needs constant proof of their love for her, and this is why her relationships tend to become way too demanding for others. Her focus is solely on getting the love that she craves, and she doesn't realize how much of a demand she is actually putting on others. She doesn't know when to stop, or where other people's boundaries are, or when enough is enough, since she doesn't really have any boundaries herself. Because her sense of self is weak, she doesn't really know where she starts and others begin. There is an overlap, and because of this overlap, she can easily pick up other people's feelings. She is like a psychic sponge, affected by any outside influences, which is a common thing for anyone with weak boundaries, but her psychic ability can't be totally trusted since it is often a mixture of impressions and imagination or wishful thinking as well. This happens because Phosphorus isn't really clear about what is real and what is not. Again, it is a matter of unclear boundaries.
Dr. Singh: How is Phos in a relationship? You talked of "High maintenance Relationships" What are they?
Dr.Mati: So, if we look at Phosphorus in relationships, we can easily see both the positive and the negative aspects. On the positive side, Phosphorus is happy, charming, beautiful, popular and fun to be around, but this only happens when she is the most beautiful person in the group, and everybody gives her what she wants and constantly shows her how much they love her. The "high maintenance" aspect comes into the picture when she keeps wanting more and more proof of how much her friends love her. The more she demands, the more tired her friends become, and the more insecure Phosphorus will feel. When her friends eventually pull back or say no to her demands, she feels totally betrayed and unloved and she reacts by becoming absolutely furious. She becomes verbally abusive, and if she can sue you or turn you into the authorities in some way, she will. Her jealousy knows no boundaries, especially if the position is lost to someone who is prettier than she.
Dr. Singh: She will be the nicest person around until she does not face competition, but when someone more beautiful, talented is around she becomes jealous. What will she do? Does her syphilitic taint make her indifferent to others sufferings or will she bounce back and be fine?
Dr.Mati: Eventually, the people in her life and relationships will have to get away from her because her demands become a constant drain of energy. This is when the syphilitic taint really shows up! She will do anything she can to try to destroy the person who is trying to get away from her! (And when she is in this state, her remedy can sometimes be mistaken for Lachesis, since we don't normally associate this kind of behavior with Phosphorus).
I saw an example of this recently when a Phosphorus girl got together with a beautiful black man. The relationship was very short lived, and the black man left her and moved into his own place. Phosphorus was so furious about this, that she called the police and told them that her ex-boyfriend had been abusive towards her, and she wanted him arrested. When nothing happened from her phone call, she beat herself up and went to the police station to show them how abused she was. When the police still wasn't really responsive to her complaints, she got so furious that they put her in a cell, just to contain her. There, she kept beating herself up, not knowing that there was a camera in the cell, and they caught her on film! She was trying to set up her boyfriend so that he would be put in jail, even though he had done nothing to her at all! So, yes, Phosphorus can become indifferent to other people's suffering, in fact, they WANT other people to suffer if they think they deserve to do so! If her black friend had been arrested for abusing an innocent white girl, he could have probably ended up in jail for a long time, even though he was the innocent one, but luckily, that didn't happen in this case.
Dr. Singh: When her relationships break, what does she do?
Dr.Mati: After a relationship is over, and Phosphorus gets over her fit of vengeance, it doesn't usually take too long before she gets over the whole episode and starts looking for another relationship instead. Her feelings, although they can be quite intense, don't go very deep. On that level, Phosphorus can often be a bit superficial, which is another reason why she has a hard time creating intimate relationships. She doesn't like anything that is too "heavy" or too deep. She really just wants to have fun. So if one relationship doesn't work out, it usually doesn't take very long before another relationship comes along. It is very strange, but Phosphorus always seems to have a steady stream of friends coming into her life, in spite of the way she treats people. Maybe it is because she is so pretty that her beauty has a tendency to blind the men to how she really is as a person.
Dr. Singh: She expects a lot from others and even she helps others as she wants her own security in return. What do you feel is the best way (other than medication) to deal with such self-centered Phosphoruses?
Dr.Mati: There isn't really a lot you can do, because Phosphorus has to discover for her self how her demanding ways affect the people in her life. All the remedy profiles are here to learn certain lessons in this lifetime, and Phosphorus is here to learn to stop expecting love to come from everyone else all the time. It is as if she has lost her own connection to the ultimate source, and she has forgotten who she is. So she keeps expecting all the "mirrors" in her life to show her who she is, and she wants to see a desirable picture in the mirror, too, with no ugliness reflected! If the "mirror" reflects her ugliness, she will just break the mirror and get a new one, instead of realizing that the ugliness is not caused by the mirror – it actually exists in her... What she doesn't understand is that a mirror is just a mirror. It is not the real thing. She has to go inside and find the loveable part within herself, and learn to love that part, because if she doesn't love herself, no amount of outside confirmation can possibly convince her that she is loved.
Dr. Singh: What are the bright and dark sides of Phosphorus personality?
Dr.Mati: So, to summarize the bright and the dark sides of Phosphorus – the bright side is Phosphorus' cheerful disposition. She is sympathetic, happy, fun, lively and entertaining, and she often does reach out to help others if she can. On the dark side, there is the jealous, angry, destructive, demanding aspects that people simply shun. So basically, Phosphorus is either very light, or very, very dark, depending on what is happening in her life, and because there is such a strong split between the light and the dark in her, it takes a lot of inner work and conscious will to change and transform before she can find a place of stability and balance within, and until that happens, watch out and be aware whenever you are dealing with a Phosphorus - and this applies to both personal as well as professional relationships!
Dr. Singh: Thanks Mati, for your beautiful explanation of Phosphorus, I hope our readers will love to know this side of his persona.

Hey everyone, I bought a 02 wrx a few months back. I used to have a 97 impreza coupe (look bellow). Unfortunately it was totalled by a lady driving a big 4 door Dodge ram. I was convinced to buy a bmw e30, and regret it very much. I realized I missed having a subaru and picked up a 02 wrx with a blown head gasket and I am currently building a hybrid 2.0/2.5 engine for it. I dont have any pictures of it yet i need to start taking some. But here are some pictures of my 97
When i bought it
After a few mods
Then this happened

I am looking for a new .45 to carry for police duty, was looking at Taurus 845, Does anyone have feedback on that pistol or recommendation on another for under 600$
grab the latest issue of FMG's american handgunner - there is an article on beer budget 1911s
springfield armory GI / Auto-Ordnance / Rock Island Armory / Merto Arms / Para USA
all under $600
out of that list i'd take the springfield armory GI
i would not get the taurus in any case - just toooo many threads on problems
For under $600 you should be looking at Glock 21s, M&P45s, even used HK USPs, and that's not including any LE discounts. You should be able to get a very good gun for under $600.
If you buy a Taurus for police duty, I will find you and beat you with a bag of donuts.
I am getting a lot of that, I am just not sold on Glock due to no safety. Thanks for input
M&P45 is available with one as well is the Springfield XD45 Service and the Beretta PX4 in .45
Also remember that factory MSRP is typically $100-$150 higher than average retail.
Thanks, I am starting to persuade myself to Springfield
Take a good look at S&W M&P.....JJ
You know, many police officers carry Glocks for years with excellent results, and the G21 would be a fine carry piece, especially since you'll have it in a good holster. But if you just can't see that, you might want to shop around a little and if you do, I bet you could find a regular Springfield Mil-Spec instead of the GI version, and still be within your budget. The reason I suggest that is that I think the larger ejection port has a lot to be said for it.
Just one guy's thoughts.
Something to keep in mind is that many departments prohibit the use of Cocked and Locked carry, even on OFF DUTY carry.
While the 1911 makes for a fine carry gun for "civilian use", and when not used as a primary firearm it's great, but when it comes to a duty gun and the pistol is your primary, there are better options when you may have to fight your way back to the squad car to retreive a long gun.
Just this past November, I bought a new M&P 45 with the 4" barrel and standard size frame. An Apex DCAEK kit was installed while I waited for my NICS to clear. Later that evening I re-installed the factory OEM trigger spring. This is probably the best shooting practical carry .45 I have ever had the pleasure to own or shoot. And excellent carry gun and one you might wish to give some real serious thought to getting.
The only thing is I have never heard of any Law Enforcement Agency allowing you to carry something other than what is suppose to be issued.
I am not a big fan of the Glock, but you should have no problems with safeties. Just remember to keep your finger off the trigger. I however don't blame you for wanting to carry something other than a Glock if they will let you.
I favor Glock or XD because I know them, but I hear only good things from M&P owners. Personally, I would not want a lever safety on a carry gun, because I think they are unnecessary for a striker fired pistol being used by an experienced shooter, but that all depends on how you train, I guess.
Forget the Taurus.......seriously.
Go with the Glock. It has two safeties. The trigger and the gray matter between your ears.
1: Capacity. 7 or 8 +1 for capacity in a full size, 6 or 7+1 in a compact, not counting some of of the double stack models.
2: Weight. A full size steel frame 1911 weighs in at 38oz empty. A similar size polymer 9mm that holds 20 rounds weighs less. There's some lightweight and smaller models, but that leads into other issues that I'll cover later.
3: The manual safety. It takes more time to build the "muscle memory" to swipe off the safety during the draw stroke.
4: Higher level of user end maintenance.
And that's not even getting into finding the right mix of ammo and magazines that your gun likes which can be maddening if an issue.
The 1911 is a nice pistol, and if you shoot it well and are willing to put in some effort it can serve well, but regardless of skill it will always be one or the other compared to a lot of other guns. Heavier or carry less ammo.
There's those out there that will say "I just carry an extra magazine" to compensate for the low round count but extra ammo on your person will never make up for less rounds in the gun.
...To be continued.

Active U.S. Military personnel – all branches
Former U.S. Military personnel – all branches
Whats your take on a .40 caliber amigo?
I have a 9 mm but I think my next purchase will be a .40.
Although I am not LE, I am active military and I own both M&P and Glock. Both are awesome weapons and neither have a thumb safety. I have never had any issues with either as far as safety goes. I love my Glock because of the simplicity and ease of breakdown and to be honest, I am more accurate with it over the M&P. I love the M&P because it fits my hand perfectly and, well, its just an awesome looking gun! I did install the Apex trigger upgrade because, in my opinion, the stock triggers suck! lol WIth the Glock blue label program you should be able to find one with 3 mags and night sights for well under $600.

Carb, idle, and dieseling issues
My 68 has the quad still on it but I'm thinking about swapping to a edelbrock or holley. With a couple searches I found people singing the praises of the quadrajet over everything else, and then praises of edelbrock over any quadracrap in existence. I've researched the quad stuff to try and figure it out but its got so many variables to cause problems. I need the thing to run reliably and right now its stalling out when at a light. I can't be stalling out in heavy traffic around this crowded city of maniacs. I was able to get it running solid one day with a somewhat high idle but the next day I drove it, wanted to stall at every stop. Goes down the road just fine otherwise. The higher the idle the worse the dieseling on shutoff.
I'm considering using an adapter and putting a new carb to eliminate all the variables in the old setup. I don't know how old the carb is, if its the original, how many rebuilds, ethanol damage, modifications etc. I'm a bit worried about the rotary kick down switch and how to hook them up with the mechanical linkage since they are usually used with cable. I'm also curious if there is any other common way to actuate kick down since I don't see a source for replacement switches.

Re: Carb, idle, and dieseling issues
I'm a bit of a stickler for staying with the O.E. equipment. I bought the book on Rochester carburetors by Doug Roe and learned a whole new appreciation for the the Quadrajet and how to set it up for use. That and the indispensable Factory Manual which can usually be found for sale online. Between the two, you should be able to sort most of your issues. Of course, this assumes you are not depending on the '68 for current transportation in which case you may find a rebuilt unit form Holley or some other rebuilder. In any case the two books will be a great help.

Re: Carb, idle, and dieseling issues
I have had nothing but problems with rebuilt junk from holly. The latest reman carb the car wouldnt even run...just stack fires. was going to go the edelbrock route but the linkage wouldnt work with the kick down for the trans without mods because of the the spacer required to meet the new carb to the old manifold(spreadbore and squarebore).
Re: Carb, idle, and dieseling issues
I do have the 68 shop manual which goes into good bit of detail but almost too complicated to understand and work with. I have found posts from other forums with people saying that the rebuilt q-jets have been junk as well. Jet Performance seems to have a good rep for doing them but I still question it. The linkage is still a mystery to me because I can't find any pictures or documentation of people doing it. The kickdown switch would not be a problem one way or the other because its just a matter apparently of sending 12v to that component in the trans. That can be done with the expensive Lokar kit, the cheaper B&M kit, or by some kind of simple temporary on button switch mounted under the gas pedal or its arm.
I'm still undecided for lack of information. Would anyone happen to know where I could find a proper replacement fuel filter for these? The filter is designed to thread into the metal tubing from the fuel pump and outlet to the carb but also has a return back to the tank. I'm curious where I could get a replacement filter and also a pump that wouldnt require modification. I've heard of problems with older pumps not liking ethanol.
Re: Carb, idle, and dieseling issues
Well I just found some extra goodness going on with my qjet. Had engine running and warm and it started stallingat idle. I had the aircleaner off and when the motor stalled out, I saw a fuel fog coming from out of the primaries. I then saw and heard fuel getting dumped out of the boosters. I started it again and watched it do it again for probably 15 seconds after it had stalled. I also found that the fast idle cam had gotten stuck from the last time I tried to drive it and couldnt get the idle down.
So anyways, now something has to be done but I can't figure out which way to go. My buddy says he has some Holley spreadbore carbs that would need a rebuild. Otherwise its new holley or edelbrock if I could figure out the linkage. My other buddy lent me a used edelbrock 600. I found that summit has a fuel line adapting kit for steel line that comes together with the spreadbore adapter. Options are good, decisions are lame! I could send the qjet off somewhere for a rebuild but they are the same or more cost than a new carb!

Re: Carb, idle, and dieseling issues
From experience, the engine running on and the stuck fast idle cam are likely related.. if you shut the engine down with the throttle blades open, you'll run on / diesel.. The throttle shafts could also need to be re-bushed to tighten them up..
When I was a kid, i was a holley nut.. These offered excellent results at the drag strip once they were dialed in.. which took a lot of fiddling to get right (which entailed yanking the carb, popping it apart and changing things like jets, secondary vacuum diaphragm springs, squirt nozzle sizes, power valves and squirt cams.. don't expect perfection out of the box... I have tried the remanufactured q-jet carburetors from holley.. and never had any luck with them.. Edelbrock carburetors are usually pretty good out of the box, but are picky when it comes to fuel pressure.. These are basically Carter AFB carburetors which were OE on dodge Chrysler and plymouth cars of the 60's and 70's.. edelbrock bought the tooling and worked with Webber to offer a more user friendly / more tunable product.. These are fairly well tuned for common engines, 305/350 GM and 302 /351 Ford.. You're 1968 5000 pound car was not on Vic Edelbrock's mind when he thought to make good all around performance carburetor..
I suggest sticking with the Q-Jet.. Having yours done.. I know of an outfit in New Hampshire (Hobb's Carburetor) who has done a few for me in the past.. this way you won't have any additional gaskets, intake adaptors, cobbled together kickdown and throttle linkage.. and your air cleaner will fit correctly without knocking it with a hammer.. also, your hood will close the first time!
I do my own Rochester carbs now.. the kits are cheap, like 25-30 bucks..
Re: Carb, idle, and dieseling issues
I've come to a decision that reflects what you are saying. I decided I'm staying with the q-jet. I actually had it running properly yesterday for 25 minutes and drove all around the neighborhood with no stalling. After a restart I began to show intermittent stalling/flooding but not as bad. I'm convinced that its related to the float/needle area and possibly to do with gunk or dirt. I'm going to play with it some more before I decide to yank it.
What I did find on cadillacpower forums, was a reccomendation for a company called "Mountain Man Fuel Systems." They do their business through ebay if you have a more common model or over the phone to send yours in. They specialize in q-jets and its actually a husband and wife operation. I spoke with the wife about my 68 jet and she was very helpful and very very nice. They do rebuilds for I think 169 which includes rebushing the primary shaft. They have lots of good feedback, so if I pull mine off, thats where its going.

Pushead for Altamont
The name Pushead is synonymous with the macabre, but it's not a death thing for the San Francisco-based illustrator. "I see skulls as your inner person, as everyone has one." His intricate and intense artwork first exploded in the early 1980s on toxic, genre-defining album covers and t-shirts for bands like The Misfits, Metallica, Prong, Cavity, Rush, Soundgarden, Dr. Dre, Cocobat and Dr. Octagon, as well as skateboard brands Zorlac, Conspiracy, Zero, and Thrasher magazine, to name but a few. Still, Pushead is more than the iconic artist; in addition to being the singer and songwriter for legendary hardcore thrash pioneers Septic Death, he's a record label owner and influential writer within the hardcore punk and thrash metal scenes. If there's a lesson to be found in the trailblazing history and prodigious output of Pushead, it's this: don't be afraid to reveal your inner person, because we're all made up of the same hardware inside.
Products in the Pushead Collection include:
Pushead Zip hood
Twin Skull t-shirt
Fucked Up for Altamont
Fucked Up formed in Toronto in 2002, high-school friends influenced by first- and second-wave hardcore bands like Minor Threat and NOFX. It was instantly apparent that they were not carbon-copy punks. Known by bizarre aliases, Fucked Up employ creative methods of spreading information & misinformation. Basic facts are constantly in flux. It is unclear how many of their 7"s have actually been released. Rumors about Fucked Up circulate like wildfire among their obsessive fans. The bottom line is that this band could only come out of hardcore, but they are now making music like no hardcore band in history. Though Fucked Up remain punks at heart - if quixotically diverse ones - they continue to create great, weird, heavy records that stubbornly stick in your brain and your heart.
Products in the Fucked Up Collection include:
FU Altamont t-shirt
Andrew Reynolds for Altamont

A.Reynolds Alameda Cord pants
A.Reynolds Alameda Signature denim

After Haitian Football Federation president Yves Jean-Bart appealed on a Haitian Creole-language radio station in New York to the players to "reinstate themselves as soon as possible," the players all returned to the team.
The players reportedly went to a McDonald's near JFK and were taken away in a van in a scheme hatched by U.S. friends and relatives. Two went to Boston, and the others were in the New York area, according to reports.
Haiti qualified for the U-17 World Cup for the first time when it captured one of two berths from a CONCACAF qualifying tournament, along with Honduras, ahead of Mexico, the 2005 U-17 world champion. It was headed to South Korea, where the U.S. U-17s are also scheduled to compete in an eight-team tournament.
The disappearance of the young Haitians recalled one of the great stories of the New York Cosmos. For their opening game at the new Giants Stadium in March 1977, the Cosmos were scheduled to play the Haitian club Victory, but Victory's players disappeared before the game. A group of local Haitians were rounded up and took the field to play the Cosmos, who won, 9-0, before only a few thousand fans in the pouring rain. Steve Ross, chairman of Warner Communications, which owned the Cosmos, knew nothing about Haitian soccer, impostors or no imposter's, and was said to have been pleased with the big win. (The Cosmos did go on to win the NASL title in Pele's farewell season, by the end of which Giants Stadium was packed.)

King Sombra ~ The Darkness by JacobDobsonWatch
©2012-2017 JacobDobson
Hey, could I use this as a cover photo For my Story on FimFiction? I'll send you a link when I post the first chapter, and I'll be sure to credit you.
Awesome .o.
I this
I this
Great pic!
King Sombra: I am a monument to all of your fears
He's the king of all things evil.
Hi, I'm trying to write a fan-fic with Sombra as the main protagonist and I was wondering if I could use this image as the cover image. You would, of course, get full credit.
I loooooooooooooove this artwork, I have it as background on my smartphone since weeks 8Dc
Very nice
Very nice
Love the art and the character. I support the Sombran Empire! (I just made that up )
Oh hey I found your da! (its me destiny <3)
As I said in the group... That's absolutely amazing.
Well, at least SOmbra looks like an Evil Badass... It's a shame that he has so little personality.
Come on, he's claimed to be just a mortal unicorn, yet he fought both Celestia and Luna, and made an entire Empire to disappear!
Come on, he's claimed to be just a mortal unicorn, yet he fought both Celestia and Luna, and made an entire Empire to disappear!
While I admit I would have liked to see more of him; he did manage to cause a ton of fear, misery, pain and despair just by sitting outside and waiting.
Awesome! *-* I love him!

PEMA reviews IUPatty's response
The Indiana area has the tools to deal with unexpected mob incidents in the community, but the various agencies need a plan for working together when unanticipated disruptions take place, a state agency says.
Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency has completed its analysis of the reaction to large, unruly gatherings and disruptive behavior that marked the informal and unsanctioned St. Patrick's season parties in Indiana last spring.
PEMA released the "After Action Review" on July 24, and Indiana officials met Friday to study the findings in the report, according to Indiana University of Pennsylvania officials.
Campus and community leaders jointly asked for a PEMA following so-called IUPatty's Day parties that unexpectedly generated large crowds that clogged South Seventh Street in Indiana on March 8.
Police made more than 100 arrests at events from March 7 through 9, most of them for underage drinking and disorderly conduct. Officers concentrated efforts on controlling crowds that spread into the street, but also investigated reports of rape and assaults during the weekend, officials said.
Reports of the mayhem were carried in mainstream media in the region and by some national outlets, while countless accounts of the disturbances were spread in videos and commentaries on the Internet.
The IUPatty's Day concept grew largely through grassroots and social media promotion, and was not sanctioned by the university. While it drew many IUP students and young residents of the Indiana area, the revelry attracted large numbers of visitors from outside Indiana County, authorities said.
In short, the Indiana area has what it takes to handle emerging crowds, PEMA said.
First-responders are well-trained to deal with mobs, a "unified stakeholder group" is committed to work together, and "adequate resources" are available, according to a list of the community's major strengths.
But what local leaders need to do, according to PEMA, is model a "whole community" approach to preparing and responding to incidents, creating a multi-agency planning effort, and improving communications among them before, during and following events.
At the same time PEMA was asked to assess the immediate response to IUPatty's events, local officials formed their own committees to come up with plans for handing similar future events.
Indiana Borough council in April set up a "college age activities" panel to review what happened in March.
Top leaders of the borough, IUP, Indiana County and White Township created another committee, including representatives of the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce, Indiana Regional Medical Center, and the Armstrong-Clarion-Indiana Drug and Alcohol Commission. Their announced plan is to unify the local forces that might be called into service in the event of unexpected uncontrolled behavior, and to consider ways of preventing mob activity.
Leaders of that panel, formed in June, announced their goal of administering the plans for future incidents, while other groups such as police and fire departments and medical responders would make specific operational plans for similar incidents.
Indiana County Commissioners Rodney Ruddock and Patricia Evanko, Indiana Borough Council President Nancy Jones, Indiana Borough Manager and Police Chief William Sutton, White Township Manager Milt Lady, IUP President Michael Driscoll and administrator Robin Gorman, chamber President Jim Struzzi, IRMC safety and security director Danny Sacco, and the drug and alcohol commission director Carrie Bence took part in the first review of the PEMA report.
In a news release issued today by IUP, local officials on the administrative panel convened Friday for their first look at PEMA's findings and expected to meet again to put the recommendations into place.

The galleries on Shapeways are being populated with some truly amazing
products, bringing in thousands of potential customers every day who are
looking for unique designs just like yours. We are working really hard
to make sure when people buy your products, they get the best possible
quality 3D prints with amazing customer service, but we need your help!
customers should be greeted with beautiful images and clear descriptions
to ensure visitors to Shapeways become your customers.
Thinking like a marketer
Take a look at your shop and product
pages from an outside perspective, and what do you see? Is your shop
filled with well photographed products with relevant descriptions? Do
you have a logo and banner in the correct aspect ratio along with a
description of who you are?
Here's a quick checklist to help you
critique your shop .
- Have you filled out a Description so people can search and understand what your shop is about?
- The Extended Description
gives you the opportunity to enter a little more detail about you and
your shop. You can also use this to share your Twitter and Facebook
accounts so they have the chance to stay up to date with your latest
- Do you have a Shop Banner at 880 x 125 px, and does it relate to your 'brand'?
- Do you have a Shop Avatar at 640 x 476 px, as this helps people find you in the Shops Gallery?
- Does your shop have enough content to need Sections to make it easier for people to navigate your shop?
- Have you selected a Shop Category to help people to find your shop?
- Do you have Google Analytics enabled so you can track your success?
Products that tell stories
You have designed an amazing product and have your 3D prints in your hand. Now it's time to take a quick look at your product pages to ensure they represent your designs in the best possible light. The three most important elements are: photographs, descriptions and photographs.
Here's a checklist to make sure your product page does your design justice:
- Photograph your designs. This is one of the single most important elements to grab people's attention. You need three clear, well-lit photographs to capture your design. If it is not properly documented, it does not exist. Having great photos increases the chances of being featured on the Shapeways blog, home page and emails, which can dramatically increase traffic and sales.
- Make the title work for you. Search engines use around the first 60 characters to help people find what they are looking for, so make sure your title describes your product so they can be found in a search query.
- Describe your product. Your description gives you the opportunity to tell the product story, give it context and look at your product from an outsider's perspective. Does the description tell you everything you need to know about the product?
- Materials. Have you limited the material selection to those that are relevant to your product? If you are designing jewelry, it may be worth limiting the materials to precious metals and stainless steel, where Minecraft avatars should be limited to a suitable material likefull color only. This makes it easier for the buyer to choose the right material and reduces confusion and disappointment.
- Keywords. Have you selected relevant keywords to help people find your product? Choosing three categories will help people browsing the Shapeways galleries find your products and bring them into your Shapeways Shop.

With a €71 billion budget, Horizon 2020 is the primary EU strategic framework for European Research and Innovation in 2014-2020. Participation in Horizon 2020 can be an important success factor in financing and implementing ambitious research, development and innovation strategies.
This paper identifies three main steps to ensure optimal participation and revenues. First, you will need to position your strategy towards the Horizon 2020 objectives by mapping your current and aspired RD&I portfolio according to the three pillars of Horizon 2020: excellent science, industrial leadership and societal challenges.
Next, adapt internal processes and procedures towards the new regulations.
And thirdly, build public-private partnerships and organise your efforts in clusters. That means finding strategic partners that are complementary to your own knowledge and infrastructure, aligning your RD&I strategies into joint action plans and building sustainable cross border collaboration structures.
This paper explains how.

without any apparent ill effects I kept there, with the name
OriginalKeyEventTranslations.tr, a copy of the original
KeyEventTranslations.tr (and likewise for MenuSetup.tr, which I had also
