Pastors agree: Being gay not a sin, Bible says to love everyone
There are 81 comments on the Lincoln Journal Star story from Sep 12, 2007, titled Pastors agree: Being gay not a sin, Bible says to love everyone. In it, Lincoln Journal Star reports that:
"Hmmm...boys are ok, but women are better so I think I'll sleep with women now."
As clergy who care about our members' lives and the hospitality of our community, we were pleased to see the article "Same-sex climate a hot issue" in the Lincoln Journal Star on July 29. via Lincoln Journal Star

Bible says to love everyone. Ok so is murder, abortion, etc ok too, im supposed to love everyone right?
tyes we should respect and love those who sin, but does that mean we should look at all behaviour as unsinful. Matthew 7 asks us not to judge, that is God's job, but a sin is a sin and this type of thinking is, in my opinion, a great way to rationalize bad behaviour.
Since: Apr 08
#2 Jun 4, 2008
I completely agree with the article writers, and wish others also felt this way.
If people are "created in God's image", then maybe "God" has nothing against homosexuality.
Just because the bible (a book written by mortal men) is against it doesn't mean "God" is.
#3 Jun 18, 2008
People are created in God's image, however fell from Grace when the first sin was committed. Since that time, Man needs Christ to have eternal saving grace. Many sins are found in the world today and I can assure you that none of these sins were created in God's image, but by man's sin. With that being said, so was homosexuality. No one is born a homosexual, however they choose that lifestyle. The Bible was scribed by mortal men, but written by the inspiration of God. God's desires for man are what the Bible is, you cannot remove the Bible from God, nor can you remove God from the Bible. They co-exist in harmony, not discord. My prayer for you, Shellikins, is that God is revealed to you in a way you have never seen him before where you can grow to have a personal relationship with him and be saved. I can tell you more of how to do this if you are open to it.
Since: Apr 08
#4 Jun 18, 2008
No thank you. I am very satisfied with my beliefs. My beliefs allow me to love others, even if they are different from me. I couldn't hate gay people, or disapprove of them, in the way your Christian church does. I couldn't judge others in the way most Christians do. I judge people by how they treat me, their families, and their world... if you're a good person, but you're gay, well, it's OK by me. If you're a louse and you're gay, well... I don't care if you're gay, but I don't like louses.
You'd be hard-pressed to find ANY homosexual who will say that they've chosen to be gay. There is nothing you can tell me that would allow me to believe that they choose that path, and I feel this way because I've known so many gay people.
I didn't choose to be straight. As I grew up, and went through adolescence, I discovered that I think "boys are cute". No one taught me that, it's just how I naturally progressed. I've talked with a lot of gay people over the years, some who even tried to "be straight", so they can fit in. They've all said that it was something they just "are". I can't imagine what it was like for them, growing up in high school... most of the time keeping that "secret" about themselves, out of fear of gossip and even physical harm.
No Ma'am. This is not something they chose. I never did see it as a "lifestyle", though. Rock stars have a "lifestyle". Drug addicts have a "life style". Priests and Nuns have a "lifestyle". Most gay people just want equal rights and to live their lives in peace and harmony with the rest of the world. How can anything that ends in LOVE be a bad thing. Yet, I'm the one "going to hell", as I'm often reminded by Christians. I won't be, of course, but I know you don't see it that way.
Hypothetically, I could write about what your God inspired me to do. Would it be accurate? In MY opinion it would be.
This country seems to have the notion of, "you can be anything you want, as long as it's straight and Christian". You may not agree, but you're straight and Christian. To those of us who aren't Christian (or, to those who are gay), this is how it seems to us.
You are entitled to your beliefs, and I am entitled to mine. Mine are a little more open-minded, however, and that's how I prefer it.
#8 Jun 19, 2008
You are not open-minded, you are closed-minded. If you were open-minded, God would show you the truth, but you are not, so you are living in a false life and in denial of what God has offered to all of us. Pity.
Since: Jan 07
#9 Jun 19, 2008
tis you that is close minded, you believe only you know the truth. The truth of God is not found in a book written by men, but rather in the hearts of those who try to live spiritually. God is in us, not a book.
Since: Apr 08
#11 Jun 19, 2008
No need to pity me. I don't need it nor do I want it.
My God and Goddess HAVE shown me the truth... not just one truth, but many.-MY- God and Goddess taught me to treat ALL life and the world around me with love and respect, among MANY other things. They taught me that hate is a waste of time. They taught me that killing... for ANY reason, is wrong, and that killing in the name of "God" is even moreso.
But, again, I'm allegedly the one who's going to hell.
You KEEP your vengeful God, I like my loving God and Goddess better.
Since: Apr 08
#12 Jun 19, 2008
Oh, and for the record... it's not denial. I've had your God and Jesus in my life, but they are too limited and vengeful for my likes. Finding Paganism (and Wicca) was one of the best choices I've made.

On their site, they themselves claim that only about 8% are gay by CHOICE.
This means that the MAJORITY (92%) are gay because that's just how they ARE. Were they born this way? Is there a "gay gene"? I don't know, even the scientific community doesn't have proof either way of this. It could be "crossed wires"... I guess gay-ness could have it's roots in many places. The human body is truely a wonder to behold.
I stand corrected, though. Apparently there are a -few- people who claim they've chosen to be gay. There are exceptions to every rule.

I will sleep so much better at night knowing some christian clergy decided it is ok for gay people to be gay. Like Shellikins I too have had Jesus in my life. I could not stay in a church of mindless sheep that unquestionably followed what somebody told them to believe. I am Pagan by choice and make no apologies to anybody. If Jesus could see how modern religion has twisted his teachings he would be one pissed off hombre.

Listen i have nothing against gay people..it is a sin just like lieing stealing murder..the bible states no one sin is greater..but it does state that homosexuality is an abbomnation in the eyes of God..so do i condone it..no..do i love them just as i do everyone else we are not the judge, the great judge will be here soon it is up to each of us to make it right before the lord..God bless

so you worship things? ok i get it..so when you are having a problem in life and you pray to this "think" do you get peace from it, do you feel its presance in ur life on a daily bases, do you see ur Gods glory in nature and wonder how he created it, do you see ur body and wonder how in the world he created it, and wonder what kind of thoughts went into this creation..I don't know about u, but I really do think a "thing" would have a little bit of trouble with this task..anyway..hope that works out for u, but if you ever want a real God..open the Bible..he's always alive on those pages..God Bless

Why don't you go thump your bible else where. It is a great piece of fiction written by men to keep the masses under control.
#22 Oct 13, 2008
oh yeah..not to be mean we each have a choice..but I have a nephew that went through a faze of wicca..truthfully all i ever seen or heard from it was the alchol,drugs and gang sex..deny that if you will, i dont really care, but i do no what my nephew went thru, and the state he got into, there is no love in wicca except the feel good state, satan dont love you he just wants ur soul..now like i said im not saying this to be mean..but just wanted u to know thats really not the answer and if u have ever served Christ then u know this..and come judgemnt day..you will reap what u sow..so God Bless Jesus loves u and so do I..
#23 Oct 13, 2008
I have a right to thump my bible anywhere i want to and i choose to do it here amongst all of this. Now if u dont want to see my bible thumping leave, cause i'm not going anywhere..God bless u

You nephew was what you could call a WINO - Wiccan In Name Only. Just as some predators will slap on a cross and wave a bible while molesting children and seducing men and women in some twisted, perverted interpretation of the bible, so will some people use Wicca and other types of Paganism as vehicles for their personal perversions.
Hollywood has done more to set Pagans back than just about anyone. Kids like your nephew see some cheesy movies about blood and gore and hot babes in black lace chanting and doing everyone in sight, and figure that's "cool".
Just like Christian sects where they think it's ok to marry girls off as soon as they show signs of puberty, which is earlier and earlier these days,
or who mutillate or torture themselves to be closer to Jesus, they are not accepted by the majority of law abiding adherents.

Logo design, branding, print materials and signage for a large development project in Oakland, CA.
Brooklyn Basin was a unique challenge in that the design had to appeal to both American and Chinese financial investors in the project, future residents of the housing to be built, and current local community members. Many considerations were made for color, imagery, and style that would appeal across cultures.
Other project elements included a folder/press kit and related map illustration, paper and email invitations to the groundbreaking ceremony, event program for the groundbreaking, signage, banners, billboards, and print ads.

My role included design, project management, and art/creative direction.
The client brought in RadiantBrands for assistance with the naming rights of one theatre within their complex of three performance spaces. The initial challenge was creating a new identity and style that fit within the client's branding system, but also showcased the logo of their new sponsor in an elegant but clear manner. This portion also involved presenting to, and getting sign off from, the sponsor on both the visual direction and materials choices.
The ongoing challenge was to create additional elements within the branding system (everything from street-facing signs, to donor displays, to wayfinding, and even a neon sign), and to coordinate the production process with vendors and the client's facilities team.
In addition to branding the space, a history display for the theatre and two major sponsors was needed for the lobby. Five different materials were used to achieve a sense of depth and interest at museum-level quality.
Print materials and style development for a non-profit supporting all public schools within Berkeley.
The annual report took a new approach for the organization, with an ultimate goal of directing recipients to their website. Several things were done to encourage this; video interviews were screen capped and quoted within the document, accomplishment details were summarized and readers directed to the website for more information, and the donor list was truncated with similar instructions.
As the first major application of the new brand identity, the fundraising brochure and annual report needed to showcase the new look-and-feel while still communicating their own messages. These styles were then worked into the brand guide.
Logo design, brand system, and light pole banners created for a local campaign in Berkeley and the East Bay.
The initial challenge focused on a campaign logo and how to best feature all six cultural organization sponsors. Creating an eye-catching mark and bold overall look was vital to stand out on 80+ light poles in Downtown Berkeley. Extended project included advertising in BART and on AC Transit buses, web ads, and other items.
My role involved conceptualizing and executing the design, and ensuring each of the sponsors was featured in a way that best showcased their organization and brand. I also sourced stock photos and incorporated client images and image requests.

Fundraising event for Berkeley Humane. Style to complement the recent rebranding of the shelter. Challenges included creating a design that worked in color and would be single-color screenprint-friendly while also incorporating beer, cats, and dogs, all into the same logo.
Website redesign and visual style for a consulting firm.
Packaging redesign for flagship products of a craft brewery with 30 years of history.
Goals were to brighten the packages so they'd be more eye-catching in store, create a unified brand blocking on the shelf, and to attract a new younger crowd while retaining elements familiar and recognizable to their longtime customers.
Original photography of products used in PR launch materials.
Brand revamp for a relatively small animal shelter.
The logo redesign had to carry over the same imagery and some of the feel from the previous logo iterations, but with improved legibility and emotive qualities. Because the shelter seeks to always emphasize dogs and cats equally, alternating species business card backs and in-house-printer friendly letterhead footers were created.
Brand messaging, styles, color usage, and print material templates, were all created and complied into a brand guide to help the shelter implement the new look and feel across all communications going forward.
Other projects include creating a capital campaign sub-brand, graphics for a mobile adoption center vehicle, and two fundraising event campaigns (Pints for Paws & Bark and Meow Around the Block) with individual but related branding.
Internal design work updating the look and feel, including new website design.
Other self promotion highlights include semi-monthly calendar days.
Logo design and website for a 90-year-old mortgage and investment firm. Reflecting their stable and long lasting history, the "Fe" mark is a reference to the periodic table symbol for iron.
This infographic was designed to be sent via email to the RadiantBrands mailing list.
A series of books about young adults surviving in the wild and boxed set package. All photography and physical text creation original by designer. Featured in American University Student Design Expo 2008.
Posters advertising a zombie festival. Illustrations done by hand on paper and combined with historical art using photoshop. Student project.

As hard as he tries, Chowder has never managed to fit in with the other neighborhood dogs. While the neighborhood dogs are content to fetch newspapers and take walks, Chowder spends his days on the computer, dancing with his headphones, and using his favorite toy of all, his telescope.

And with a strong kick and a flying leap, Chowder finally finds a place where he can be comfortable being his silly, slobbery self.

REAL SALT LAKE (4-13-8) vs. COLORADO (7-10-8)
Saturday, 9:30 p.m. ET, Fox Soccer Channel, Fox Sports en Espanol
RSL tied the Galaxy, 2-2, Wednesday despite missing the suspended Fabian Espindola and Matias Mantilla. Its third Argentine import, Javier Morales, curled in a free kick for a late equalizer three minutes after entering the game as a sub.
Squaring off head-to-head for the first time since they were traded for each other are midfielders Mehdi Ballouchy (Rapids) and Kyle Beckerman (RSL), which should some bite to their clashes.
Beckerman drilled a nice goal in a 2-1 loss to D.C. United Sept. 12 that was reminiscent of his seven-goal season last year.
Colorado holds the edge so far in the series, having won 2-0 in Utah April 30 and tied, 1-1, at home 10 days later. In the latter match, the teams traded own goals by Jack Stewart and Pablo Mastroeni.
Much has changed since then: Jason Kreis taking over as RSL head coach and his importation of the three Argentines, the Ballouchy-Beckerman trade and other swaps; Freddy Adu's excellent U-20 World Cup and departure for Portugal, etc. Heck, back then, David Beckham was healthy.
A Rapids win would clinch the Rocky Mountain Cup, break a three-game winless skid, and propel Colorado past Chicago and into eighth place in the overall standings, but with only two wins in 12 away matches, that seems a tall order.

Foods That Boost Brain Power (Page 8)
Water and Water-Filled Foods
Staying hydrated keeps your memory sharp, your mood stable and your motivation intact, says Rachael Moeller Gorman in the July/August 2011 issue of EatingWell Magazine. When you're well-hydrated, you can think through a problem more easily. Researchers hypothesize that not having enough water could reduce oxygen flow to the brain or temporarily shrink neurons—or being thirsty could simply distract you. While your size and activity level affect your fluid requirements, daily water needs for adults range from about 13 cups for men to about 9 cups for women (pregnant women and nursing mothers need slightly more), accounting for an additional 2 1/2 cups of fluids from foods. Daily water needs for kids range by age: kids 1-3 years need 44 ounces a day, 4-8 years need about 57 ounces, boys 9-13 years need 81 ounces, girls 9-13 years need 71 ounces, boys 14-18 need 111 ounces and girls 14-18 need 77 ounces of fluid a day. In addition to offering water with meals, remember that about 20 percent of our fluid intake comes from food.

The cropping systems included in the study are Continuous Corn, Soybean, and Sorghum; 2-year Corn-Soybean and Sorghum-Soybean rotations; and 4-year Oat+Clover-Sorghum-Soybean-Corn and Soybean-Sorghum-Oat+Clover-Corn rotations. In 1983, three nitrogen fertilizer levels were included for each of the crops. Yields results from the past 25 years have shown a slight benefit from rotation for corn and soybean, but grain sorghum has yielded just as well in monoculture as in rotation when sufficient N fertilizer was applied. In later years, questions have emerged about the long-term effects of these cropping systems on soil quality, nitrogen fertilizer and precipitation use efficiency, and greenhouse gas emissions. A major factor in soil quality, carbon sequestration (organic matter) has been measured at several points in time over the past 20+ years. Soil carbon levels have generally been maintained at levels measured in 1984 in continuous corn and sorghum with sufficient N fertilizer for optimum yields and in the 4-year cropping systems at all N fertilizer levels. Soil carbon levels have declined in the continuous soybean, corn-soybean, and sorghum-soybean cropping systems regardless of N fertilizer application level. In 2007, the study was converted to no-till. Grain yield, carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas emissions, and other related factors will continue to be evaluated.

NOTE: This article originally appeared in the Nov. 19 issue of CAROLINA: The Magazine.
by Lee Pace, GoHeels.com
CHAPEL HILL -- This story was going to be about the evolution of the Tar Heels' two-quarterback approach—senior Bryn Renner as the sure-armed and savvy senior, sophomore Marquise Williams as the jaunty and juking sophomore. Renner with the 8,221 career passing yards and the bread-and-butter skinny post, Williams with the 4.6 forty-yard time and the feet and frame to run the inside zone.
Renner's ankle injury suffered against East Carolina in late September sidelined him for the Virginia Tech game the following week, giving Williams the stage against the school Carolina out-fought for Williams' services back in the fall of 2010. It was a mixed performance, certainly, but Williams showed enough poise, moxie and throwing acumen in a 27-17 defeat that head coach Larry Fedora and offensive coordinator Blake Anderson agreed that an elixir of Renner & Williams offered the Tar Heel offense its best chance going through the season.
Williams threw for 277 yards against a stout Hokie secondary that was yielding only 138 yards a game through four outings. "The way Marquise handled himself and the dynamic he brings to the game, he'll help us," Anderson said. "We'll integrate him into the game. He creates some issues for the defense running the ball that we don't get from Bryn."
We'd seen this duet before—Jason Stanicek and Mike Thomas in the early 1990s, Chris Keldorf and Oscar Davenport in 1997, Ronald Curry and Darian Durant in 2001, T.J. Yates and Cam Sexton in 2008. Often injury precipitated the No. 2 getting his shot, as with gazelle-like Davenport taking over for Keldorf and his sprained ankle in the 1996 Gator Bowl and Sexton engineering wins over Miami and Notre Dame in 2008 after Yates went down against Virginia Tech with a shoulder injury.
Sometimes, the starter falters and the backup gets his entrée. Witness Curry's ineffectiveness in the 2001 opener at Oklahoma and Durant's second-half productivity, helping make a first-half rout respectable in a 41-27 loss. That left coach John Bunting to wonder afterward, "Do I have a quarterback controversy on my hands?"
This would not be a controversy, though, as Renner saw that Williams did indeed add a twist to the offense, and Williams certainly was happy as any playing time was better than no playing time. "Bryn's attitude has been phenomenal," Anderson said after the dual-QB system worked well in a 34-10 win over Boston College, sparking the Heels' current four-game win streak. "No fifth-year senior wants to come off the field. No quarterback I've ever known wants to come off the field. I think he realizes with all the struggles we've had with so many new bodies at so many different positions, Marquise does create some opportunity for us that he doesn't provide. He's handled it better than you could expect."
But then a funny (sad) thing happened on the way to the 2013 climax of the Tar Heels potentially running the table and sneaking their way up the ACC Coastal Division pecking order: Renner was bounced for good with a shoulder injury suffered at NC State in early November, leaving the starter's job solely in Williams' lap. Hindsight being 20/20, the move to let Williams take 30-40 percent of the snaps against Miami, BC and State proved prophetic.
"We went through the whole season last year with Bryn not missing a game," Anderson said. "The law of averages says that's not going to happen two years in a row. After the Virginia Tech game, with how well Quise integrated into the offense, we felt like it was the right thing to do to continue to keep him in there. We knew there was a chance he'd play an extended role."
To commemorate his start against Virginia on the second Saturday in November, Williams donned Renner's jersey No. 2 to recognize the friendship and mentorship Renner had provided Williams in what can often be a dicey undercurrent: each player wants the Tar Heels to win, but each player wants to be a participant—and not a spectator—when the final whistle blows. It's a competitive environment. Renner teared up after his surgery when told of Williams' tribute. "I'm doing it for you, because you were all I had as a 17-year-old puppy coming along," Williams told him.
"It's like Bryn has passed the team on to Marquise," Fedora said. "Marquise wanted to honor Bryn, like James Hurst did wearing Brennan Williams' 73 last year. It was a way to publicly honor him. But we also know we have to move on and play the next game. I have complete comfort knowing Marquise gives us a chance to win the next game."
The next game found Williams going back to his No. 12 jersey and providing the Tar Heels a spark on the road at Pittsburgh in a 34-27 win. Twice in the first half, Williams dropped back to throw, didn't find a receiver he liked and pulled the ball down—once going up the middle, a second time toward the left sideline, and both times finishing the scoring play off with a jitter-juke that left a Panther defender confused, contorted and grasping at air. What Williams lacks in pure passing acumen he makes up for with a better fit to the Fedora/Anderson offensive template of having a running quarterback.
"Quise is very elusive, he's fast and deceptively strong," Tar Heel linebacker Darius Lipford said after Williams' first start in Blacksburg. "A couple of Virginia Tech guys saw that in the first half. I saw him lower his shoulder on a defensive tackle and knock him off his feet."
"Quise brings a change. He brings confusion to the defense," adds tight end Eric Ebron. "He brings things other people can't match up against."
It's ironic that Williams has found his niche in Carolina's up-tempo spread after first being attracted to Carolina under the Butch Davis/John Shoop regime because he wanted to play in an NFL drop-back scheme. Coming out of Mallard Creek High in Charlotte, Williams ran a shotgun attack and didn't want to be stereotyped as an athletic quarterback who looks to run at the blink of an eye.
One of his favorite NFL quarterbacks at the time was Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons, a prototypical tall, strong-armed, drop-back quarterback. "A lot of people doubt me, coming from a shotgun system most of my high school career," Williams said after announcing for Carolina in the summer of 2010, before his senior season. "I knew Coach Shoop would teach me a lot. If I want to play in the NFL one day, I need to learn the pro-style in terms of playing under center."
Williams had to endure the onslaught of negative publicity surrounding the NCAA investigation beginning in August 2010 and the crescendo of pricks and darts that came the Tar Heels' way in recruiting circles. Williams flirted seriously in the home stretch with Virginia Tech, but in the end renewed his vows to the Tar Heels, talking of the strong bond already established with "my boys" like fellow recruiting targets Ebron and T.J. Thorpe.
He enrolled at Chapel Hill in January 2011. "Schools came to my high school almost every week, saying, 'Why do you want to go to a school that's going on probation?'" Williams said early in his Chapel Hill matriculation. "It got under my skin. The school is the best academic school you'll ever see. That hurt me. You can't tell me where my heart wants to go. I wanted to come here all along."
Williams was redshirted in 2011, played in a limited role as back-up to Renner in 2012 and then missed the spring semester and spring football in 2013 because of an academic suspension. It was during that time that Williams realized he'd taken football and his athletic ability for granted and saw it could vanish in a poof if he didn't take a quantum leap in maturity—both on the field and off it.
"Once you lose something, you have to wake up," Williams says. "I felt like football was everything to me. Bryn always told me I have to take the game more seriously. Last year I didn't really take it serious, not like I should have. I just didn't think I would play much. When the adversity hit this spring, I went home and studied the playbook, worked out on my own, did what I had to do make myself better. It made me stronger, made me believe you can never give up. There will always be adversity in life, and it can be a good thing."
While Williams was sequestered at home in Charlotte, the Tar Heels welcomed a new freshman in Mitch Trubisky, who enrolled in January and quickly moved up the pecking order with Williams' absence and Kanler Coker missing time with arm soreness. "Quise heard what everyone else heard, that Mitch Trubisky had a great spring," Anderson says. "He knew he had a fight on his hands."
Williams surprised Fedora and Anderson in August when he showed no slippage in skills from the previous fall and, in fact, had gotten better on his own. "He was ahead of where he was coming out of last season," Fedora says. "We didn't expect that. It was impressive to me that he put in the time and effort away from the program. At that point, I knew Marquise was going to have a chance. I did not expect him to be at the level he was."
Anderson remembers having to chide Williams' effort and focus at times during the fall of 2012 and says that changed in the new year. "He was kind of silly and giggly. He didn't really know how to be the backup a year ago," Anderson says. "He just thought he would never have to play. He was a freshman and acted like it. In fall camp, he competed better, he took drill work more serious. The competition was really good. You could feel the tension in the room starting out. Mitch felt he had earned the spot, and Quise was not as comfortable as he had been the year before with no one pressuring him. That was really significant. It helped Marquise."
With two games left on the schedule, Williams is completing 58 percent of his passes for nearly 100 yards a game and is the team's leading rusher with 326 net yards and 36.2 yards a game. He's thrown for eight TDs and run for four. And he's received two passes for 52 yards and one score.
It all speaks to balance, productivity and multiplicity. And don't look now, but the Heels are 4-2 since the East Carolina loss. It's hardly the story anyone planned, but so far, the ending has promise.

How Important is Your Uterus?
Posted by juliemomyer in Health & Body on January 30, 2012
Call me sentimental, but I am attached to my organs and I'm not in a hurry to give any of them up at a doctor's request. Every organ serves a purpose and when it comes to female organs the purpose of the uterus goes far beyond temporary housing for an unborn child.
In spite of medical advancements hysterectomy has become a routine procedure especially once a woman's childbearing years are considered complete. Kind of like tossing the empty milk carton out of the fridge, all used up and no longer necessary, but that my lady friends is a misconception. Read the rest of this entry »
The Bachelor and Mr. Right
Posted by juliemomyer in Heart & Soul on January 19, 2012
I have a confession to make. I am a fully recovered Bachelor reality show junkie. I know, it's the stuff of intellectuals, right? Regardless of how cheesy the program is, which it is, every six months or so when the latest eligible male made his television debut and waltzed across my screen professing his hopes (usually fabricated) of finding undying love among twenty-five strangers, I was right there parked in my front row seat, gawking at the screen.
The Bachelor was to me what sports are to men (and some women). After witnessing the character or lack thereof of the contestants, I chose my favorite and rooted for her to win the prize (if he was one) and pray she had enough self-respect to turn him down if he wasn't.

Free Falling

I was eighteen when Free Fall was a new ride at Magic Mountain and I remember well my first ride on it; that instant where your breath catches at the initial drop and you feel like you're suspended in air. That to me was what letting go of everything and trusting God felt like.
I'm not submissive by nature…not many of us are, but a lot of us have a little too much self-will for our own good. And that would be me. I used to think, "Poor God, it's like the taming of the shrew when He has to deal with me." Read the rest of this entry »

Innovative Income
Posted by juliemomyer in Women Biz on January 3, 2012
You don't have to look very far to know that a lot of people are out of work or struggling to get by. It may even be happening to you. With the economy on the downswing most people are looking for creative ways to increase their income or make up for the loss of a job. On the flip side, existing businesses and manufacturers are on the prowl to find the next big thing. This can make for a beautiful union.
For decades new brands and businesses have been birthed through the licensure or sale of innovative products and new ideas. If you're cash strapped or don't have the ability to manufacture and market your product yourself, this is an ideal way to go providing you connect with a reputable company.

How to Replace the Function Switch on a Cooker - Zanussi Published 02/03/2011
If your control knobs have basic cosmetic damage, they are relatively easy to slide off and replace. If the switch itself has snapped, it can also be replaced - as shown in this eSpares video.
View All Cooker & Hob Control Switches »
Video Transcript
Hi there, I'm Rory from eSpares, and in this video I'm going to show you how to replace the function switch and the control knob in this Zanussi built-in oven.
Now, if it's just cosmetic damage to the control knobs, these are really easy to replace they just slide on and off. But as you can see, the spindle of our function switch has actually snapped off so I'm going to need to replace the whole thing.
Safety first, before you get to work, do remember to unplug your oven.
There should be a switch in the general area of the oven, or it could be in one of the units above or below. Make sure it's switched off.
Now the first thing you'll need to do is remove the built-in oven from its cavity. To do that, you'll need to remove the four screws situated here and that way you can then lift out the oven and disconnect the power cables from the back. So once you've got the oven in an open space, disconnected and out of the cavity, you can get to work.
first thing you want to do is remove this top panel here; there's four screws holding this one into place as well. You'll need a Torx Head Screwdriver to remove these screws. You can buy a Torx set on the eSpares website. I'm just going to use a Torx bit on the end of the driver. So here we have our function switch in all its glory. It's held in place at the front by two Torx head screws, you'll need to remove them, and at the back you can see it's wired in a very complicated way.
Now you must make sure when you wire in the new switch it goes in exactly the same way as the old one. So I'm going to use a combination of magic marker and a camera so I can wire it in exactly the same way and then undo the two front screws. Putting the new switch in is easy, just do the exact reverse of what you've just done, put the switch in, put the screws back in and then wire everything in the exact same way as the old switch was wired.
Now all you need to do is put the top panel back on, and then of course you'll need to put the built-in oven back in its cavity. Just do the exact reverse of what you did earlier when you took it out. There you go, easy, and that's your control knob fitted as well.
Control knobs and function switches for all make and model of cooker are available at the eSpares website.
Thanks for watching.


text: BALTIMORE and HAMBURG, Germany, April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A study presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2013 indicates that a DNA blood test using Inostics' BEAMing Digital PCR can detect more mutations associated with secondary drug resistance in GIST patients than testing conventional biopsies. Therapies targeted to specific cancer-causing mutations may be the most promising strategy in cancer treatment. However, inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity pose a significant challenge to maximizing therapeutic efficacy. Within a single patient, different cancer cells may have different sets of mutations making it very difficult to detect all of the relevant mutations in a single tissue biopsy. "To develop the right drug for the right patient, and to use those drugs most effectively, we need to understand the tumor burden in patients as fully as possible. Inostics' BEAMing technology may offer physicians a real-time composite picture of all the mutations across all tumors in any given patient using just a simple blood sample", George D. Demetri, M.D., Director of the Ludwig Center at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School in Boston, Mass., said. Demetri refers to data from a sub-analysis of the phase III GIST-Regorafenib in Progressive Desease (GRID) trial, designed to assess the efficacy of regorafenib in patients with GIST. Comparing conventional sequencing on tumor tissue with data generated using the BEAMing technology on blood samples they found resistance mutations 4 times more often in blood samples (48%) than in tumor tissue samples (12%). Furthermore, nearly half of the blood samples that had secondary KIT mutations harbored multiple secondary mutations. "By using this technology we hope to develop the most rational drug combinations and better tests to match patients with the most effective therapies going forward", Demetri said.

Brook doesn't count.........and One Piece doesn't count. The one thing that infuriates me about One Piece is that nobody ever dies. I love the show to death, but can't a person fricken' die, already?
Gold Roger died and Brook's crew died. Woohoo. Other than that, everybody lives to see another day. It makes a big deal when some one like Caribou or Zoro sacrifices themselves for others, but when those characters return to the series two pages later and are (basically) unscathed, it basically ruins the nobility of their sacrifice and ruins the affect.
Then again, that's part of what makes One Piece One Piece.

The topic is just as it sounds. What are the top 3 saddest anime death scenes that you've ever seen. You know, the kind that are tear-jerkers and such. Plus, the death scene doesn't have to necessarily mean that they really died, I'm only asking for the 3 saddest death scenes more-or-less. This includes anime series as well as from movies. Remember to mention where the sad scenes originated from.
My top 3 saddest animes scenes would be...
#1: In the last episode of Chrono Crusade where Chrono and Rosette sat together and Rosette just broke down crying to Chrono that she didn't wanna die, and then they were found a little while later having already passed on, while smiling and laying side by side.
#2: The last episode of Code Geass where Suzaku, disguised as Zero, charged towards Lelouch and stabbed him. Afterwards he tragically fell forward and lay motionless and Nunnally touched his hand and witnessed his memories of speaking with Suzaku about the final preparations of the Zero Requiem. Afterwards Nunnally told her brother she loved him, he spoke his last words, and he died. Nunnally then cried out her brother's name and cried next to him as the song Continued Story by Hitomi played in the background.
#3: Kenshin and Kaoru's final scene together in Samurai X The Movie. Kenshin, being stricken with a dangerous disease moved with all his strength to reach Kaoru, while at the same time, she also having the same disease, left her house to get to him. They met under the cherry blossoms and embraced just as Kenshin was about to fall. He laid his head on her lap as Kaoru spoke of the many memories they could still make together in the years to come. That is, until she noticed Kenshin had died while lying in her lap.
Sorry my explanations were a bit big, but I can't help but get into specifics. If this thread is a duplicate I apologize and then feel free to delete it.
EXACTLY THE THREE I WAS THINKING!!! but if this was in order, i would choose to put kenshin's one first and chrono crusade one third... because kenshin went through so much and just dies like that!!! and chrono crusade one is not as sad because chrono and rosette died together xD
But Kaoru died not long after Kenshin, but you do have a point. Still though, I just found that order appropriate for my taste.
I have half a mind to shoot you and the other half agrees!

Honda is still toting the company line that plug-in vehicles are a "near-future technology" and that the ultimate goal of green motoring is a choice of mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, such as its own FCX Clarity. This, despite the presence of new production plug-in vehicles (Leaf, Volt, etc) on the road today.
Regardless of whether or not you subscribe to Honda's way of thinking, it's always a pleasure to welcome in a new electric vehicle concept from a major automaker, and that's exactly what the Japanese automaker will be bringing to the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.
Says Honda, "The Honda EV Concept hints strongly at the direction and styling for Honda's upcoming production battery electric vehicle, the Fit EV, which will be introduced to the U.S. and Japan in 2012." Honda also notes that the concept is designed "to meet the daily driving needs of the average metropolitan commuter," and to that end, seats five passengers and has room for their cargo in the hatch.
Range will come in at 100 miles (using the U.S. LA4 City Cycle), and there will be three separate driving modes (as seen in the CR-Z hybrid hatchback) along with "several interactive coaching systems to assist the driver in maximising battery range." Honda will also show off a matching prototype Honda Charging Stand for electric vehicles.
The other major draw at the Honda display will be a new plug-in hybrid platform that will showcase the automaker's next-gen two-motor hybrid drivetrain. Unlike Honda's current Integrated Motor Assist technology, this will be a full hybrid system with three modes: all-electric, petrol-electric and an engine direct-drive mode. Honda has packaged the hybrid technology in a midsize platform – roughly the size of an Accord, we'd imagine.
We certainly look forward to seeing what Honda has in store for Geneva, but in the meantime, feel free to scan though the press release after the break for more clues.

The ethnic German population of Slovakia (148,000) was about five percent according to the 1930 census statistics. Most of these Germans were descendants of people who came to Upper Hungary (Slovakia), as early as the 1100's. These ethnic Germans emigrated to Hungary and other lands east of the Elbe seeking fertile farmland on which to settle due to scarcity of land in their native areas. At first, the emigrants were people from Rhineland and Saxony. By the end of the Middle Ages, these ethnic Germans were a significant minority of most East European countries, the areas we now know today as Slovakia, Poland, the Baltic States, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania.
Middle Ages
During the early Middle Ages, the territory of Upper Hungary was relatively thinly settled by Slovak and Rusyn agriculturalists along with some Magyar landowners and margraves. Compared to the densely populated Rhineland and northern France, Upper Hungary (Slovakia) was a frontier region. The Germans, known for their skills in the crafts, farming and mining, were invited as settlers by a series of Hungarian rulers.
In 1241, the Mongols invaded Upper Hungary for a short period and all but destroyed many of the early settlements. The Germans were again invited to settle. The main period of this later settlement was under King Bela IV (1235-1270). German immigration continued until the time of the Black Death, beginning in 1346, which decreased the population of Europe as a whole by at least 25 %. The resultant smaller population reduced pressure to emigrate.
The German population of Upper Hungary during the Middle Ages is estimated at between 200,000 and 500,000. The Germans were among the most influential and prosperous citizens, dominating the political and commercial life of the major towns. In some towns, only Germans were allowed to own houses and belong to certain trade guilds.
The Turks invaded Lower Hungary in 1526 occupying most of Hungary until 1683. Many Hungarians, among them many members of the aristocracy, fled to Upper Hungary where they gradually began to play an important role in the economic and political life of the area. Over time, they gained equal political status both for themselves and the Slovaks. The Germans began to lose their economic and political monopolies in the cities.
German Settlements in Slovakia
By the beginning of the 1800s, many towns which were founded by Germans or previously had a majority of Germans became predominantly Hungarian and Slovak. Towns with a majority German population, previously distributed generally over most of Slovakia, gradually shrank to three distinct areas: The Pressburg area in the southwest, Hauerland in Central Slovakia, and the Zips in Eastern Slovakia in the High Tatra Mountains and to the South.
The Zips (Slovak Spis, Hungarian Szepes) is the best-known German settlement area in Slovakia. The first German settlers arrived in the 12th century. Known as the Zipser Saxons, these early immigrants were apparently from the Lower Rhine region, Flanders, Saxony, and Silesia. In the early period, the Zips was a single continuous region stretching from the northern border with Poland to the present-day Slovak-Hungarian border. Over time, the Zips divided into two regions, the Upper and Lower Zips (German Oberzips, Unterzips).
The Upper Zips towns, in the valley of the Popper (Sl. Poprad) River, stretch from Deutschendorf (Sl. Poprad)and Leutschau (S1. Levoca) in the South to the Polish border along the Tatra Mountains. The most prominent towns were Deutschendorf, Kasmark, and Leutschau. Very early, the Upper Zips towns formed the Zipser Bund 'Zips League' (Slovak: Spolocenstvo Spisskych Sasov), a federation of towns whose members were governed by the Zipser Willkurr, a civil and commercial legal system modelled after that of Magdeburg. Most of the Upper Zips towns had charters from the Hungarian king and were not subject to a local seigneur; they elected their own governing officials. The economy of the Upper Zips towns was varied: traditional crafts (masonry, blacksmithing, leather working, etc.), textiles, mining, farming, commerce.
In 1412 the Emperor Sigismund, to finance his war with Venice, mortgaged 14 of the original 24 Zipser towns to the King of Poland, to whom their income belonged until 1772.1 The original Zipser Bund towns were Bela, Deutschendorf (Poprad), Dim (Odorfu), Donnersmarkt (Spissky Stvrtok), Diirelsdorf (Tvaroina), Eisdorf (Zakovce), Eulenbach (Bystrany), Felka (Vefka), Georgenberg (Spisska Sobota), GroBlomnitz (Vefka Lomnica), Hunsdorf (Huncovce), Kabsdorf (Hrabusice), Kiismark (Kezmarok), Kirchdrauf (Spisske Podhradie), Kunzendorf (Vlkovce), Leibitz (L'ubica), Leutschau (Levoca), Menhardsdorf (Vrbov), Miihlenbach (Mlynica), Neudorf (Spisska Nova Yes), Palmsdorf (Harichovce), RieBdorf (Ruskinovce), Schwabsdorf (Svabovce), Sperndorf (Iliasovce). The list of towns changed from time to time between 1248 to 1673. In 1674 the fraternity was disbanded, a victim of the Reformation and Counter Reformation.

fatman IFS
Hi all,any body out there have any knowledge/experience with the fatman fabricators vintage independant front suspension(VIFS)
This is the kit to cut a dropped axel in half and hinge it from a center point. it came out in STREETRODER magazine about 2 years ago. I copied the design for a customer, ( takes real stones to cut a new axel in half!) but when he saw it tacked up, he changed his mind, and went traditional (dago drop/split bones) and left me holding the bag... now I'm thinkin' about tryin' it on a track roadster,(spec build) but I've never seen one installed.or talked to anyone who has driven one the kit uses the transverse leaf spring, but I want to build a strut/rocker/coilovers on the cross tube,inboard type setup.(with batwings and 4 bar system to locate the axel) similar to early F1 cars (penske-rahall) and hide all of it under the track nose, for a traditional look with (I hope) high tech handlin'. the frame is currently set up at 120 in.W/B to use a chevy inline six/power glide/ford 9 in.drive train, with a finished weight less than 1300 LBs. comments ?
Fatman crap
I can't say that I'm familiar with the front end that your talking about but my only experience with a Fatman product was terrible.
I refuse to buy anything from those people and I'm not sure how they stay in business.
As for a split dropped axle... if it's set up correctly it should work fine but there are no real advantages to it over a straight dropped axle. The unsprung weight is not sugnificantly less and so with all of the other pieces involved to make it work properly the sprung wheight is greater. Plus this type of front end is more proned to have steering geometry problems.
Your customer was probably wise in choosing a different front end.
While i can see no advantage, I can see much disadvantage. This is a swing axle. As the car corners and tries to roll the outside tire under, the axle geometry will cause the front end to jack up. Swing axles on the early Corvairs prompted the book Unsafe at Any Speed. Ford trucks used a much longer swing axle with its twin I beam, but did you notice how quietly they switched to A arm suspension after the Firestone/ rollover controversy? However a street rod has very little suspension movement, so it should be okay. But as to advantage, you lose half the weight of the axle tube and don't get feedback from one tire to the other. I'd think cut the swivel out and weld up a narrower axle.
The theory of the split axle is that it gives a ride similar to an independant suspension, with the look of a dropped axle. Altho it should ride smoother, I have my doubts that it would be worth the cost. I also believe that it will be more likely to have tire wear problems since the axle was not really designed to be split and used that way. The tire movement during the suspension travel would seem to me, to change the alignment angles too drastically, causing scrubbing of the tires more. I would feel that you would be loosing as much in handling as you would be gaining in ride.
Just my opinion.
I just used trucks as most people are familiar with them. Same thing with the Explorers. They were twin I beam until 1995 when they went to A arm.
Vintage IFS
Fatman here. I know this is kind of an old thread, but interesting just the same. I had this system on my 32 Ford highboy seda, and currently on my 34 Highboy sedan. Both have shown a measured 20% reduction in ride harshness on a G Meter. Neither has experienced tire wear issues at all. And it doesn't do the shimmy on rough roads. Not intended as an ad, just honest experience.

Bleeding Air from system with adj valve.
1 Attachment(s)
I am having a hard time trying to bleed the rear wheel disc brakes on the mustang and i am thinking that it has to do with the adjustable brake bias valve fitted into the rear brake line. The mustang has a new power assisted tandem master cylinder and i have no problem bleeding the front lines . The after market bias valve is adjustable and i am wondering if there is a technique required to bleed the air past the valve to the rear. ??? Maybe a pressure bleeding set up is required instead of the "pump the pedal" old style bleeding.
At this point i have dry rear bleed screws.
Any help appreciated.
The adjustable proportioning valve shouldn't cause the rear brakes to bleed any differently. That said, I'd adjust them to give as much rear brake as they'll allow, just for ease of bleeding them. Then return it to its normal position afterwards.
The dry bleeders leads me to think the master cylinder push rod might not be adjusted properly- there should be some clearance between the p-rod and the piston w/the brake pedal at rest. Be sure the return spring is doing its job and that the pedal cannot be lifted up further from its "at rest" position.
The master cylinder has to be bench bled. When you do that, it should be evident if the rear circuit is actually pumping fluid -and it's not frozen up.
Even if "new", master cylinders can be faulty, too, so don't discount that possibility.
: Bleeding Air from system with adj valve. Reply to Thread
I know this may seem simple, but you stated that the front brakes bled fine. The correct procedure is to begin with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder, then work from there. I know that's pretty basic, so don't be offended.
That's true, but because it is a two reservoir master, unless the brakes are plumbed differently, the front brakes should be isolated from the rears, with no 'communication' between the two.
Still, the furthest front brake (right front) should be bled first, as should the right rear brake- but it doesn't matter if the rears or fronts are bled first in this case.
The largest reservoir is for the front discs. I'm now wondering if that master has the capacity to operate the rear discs?
Even if "new", master cylinders can be faulty, too, so don't discount that possibility.[/QUOTE]
After you verify that the mastercylinder is ok ,and preferably " bench bled". I would proceed as follows, first fit some suitable pipe on the front caliper bleed nipples and run the pipes into a clear container do the same at the rear,now open all the nipples just enough to allow fluid to flow,GET HELP to keep MC. full and gently pump the brake pedal , Make sure the pedal goes "fully" to the floor each stroke,Be generous and pump 1/2 pint /litre through , then close one nipple at at time,while you keep slowly pumping pedal.OK this procedure takes three people ,and lots of fluid , dont re- use the fluid that you have pumped into the containers beneath the car as it willl contain air bubbles.This is A VARIATION OF THE STANDARD bleeding procedure but it has worked for me on "Difficult" cars over the years.

Thanks for your help guys. i have to question the master cylinder i think from what you have said. i had the two pistons out of the master cylinder as it sat in a box for twelve months while i stripped the car. I am wondering if i have fitted the first of the two pistons in backwards by mistake.??? I didnt think that was possible.
When i got the car all the new parts , disc conversion, power booster etc were fitted. The rear calipers were fitted to the incorrect side with the bleed screws on the bottom. The pedal was spongy as the air remained trapped in the top of the calipers. I have swapped them since.
What setup is needed to "bench bleed" a master cylinder. Is it a duplicate set of brake lines fitted to the output of the master cylinder while fastened to a bench and pumped??
thanks . This blue valve has a 2psi rating on it and an"OUT" marked on one end. I am assuming it is a residual pressure valve.??
Thanks Al.
I am impressed , you are keen to solve this. :) Bench bleeding ,i usually gently clamp the master cylinder in the vice on the " bench" top up the revovoir with clean brake fluid,GET SOME RAGS so you dont make a mess, then push the rod in fully till fluid appears on all outlets. Refit the MC to your car and bleed the system . Best of luck/
Thanks Tom :thumbup:
Cheers Al.
The bench bleeding procedure calls for the outlet ports being plumbed back into the partially filled reservoir. Usually, plastic fittings w/the correct thread are supplied w/the master cylinder that have a nipple that you attach a piece of plastic tubing to. The tubing then goes back into the brake fluid in the reservoir.
Both front and rear ports are done at the same time.
If you look closely, you can see the lines leaving the outlet ports, looping back into the reservoir in the image below:
Another way to bench bleed the master cylinder that recently came to my attention when I bought a master cylinder for my '80 Malibu, is to completely block the outlets from the master w/plugs. So nothing can escape. Then the piston is depressed until no more bubbles issue from the ports located on the bottom of the master reservoir.
The master cylinder piston shouldn't be bottomed out during either bench bleeding procedure.
Whether or not this will also work on other master cylinders, I don't know.
Even though I have a MityVac, I find it too small, volume-wise, to be a very convenient way of bleeding brakes.
It's actually easy to make a pressure bleeder from a garden sprayer. Some use air pressure to push the fluid from the master cylinder reservoir through the system. This requires you to keep a close eye on the fluid level so it doesn't run out during the procedure.
Another way is to use a small volume sprayer and pour the fluid into it and pressurize the master cylinder reservoir w/fluid (not air). This means no chance of the fluid running dry- but does mean the sprayer pressure has to be watched and maintained and the master reservoir needs to be drained back to the correct level when done.
I have mixed feelings about saving the brake fluid once it's been poured into the sprayer tank, but I suppose it would be OK as long as the tank was spotless and dry. But not if any old, discolored fluid is allowed to contaminate it- like by siphoning the excess fluid from the master when done bleeding; I would put that into a separate container to be tossed.
I use a rather large (2 gallon) sprayer. This gives a good amount of "run time" before the tank needs repressurized. But instead of pouring the fluid out into the sprayer's tank, I leave the brake fluid in the quart container it came in. I remove the cap, insert the suction hose of the sprayer and that's that. Towels are used all around the quart container to support it and keep it from tipping over. ;) And, for cripes sake, if you make a bleeder like this- keep the wand- just unscrew the tip, so you can turn it off and on at will. A couple of the tutorials show the whole wand cut off and I believe that's a mistake.
There are several tute's online, here are a few:
Master Cylinder
1 Attachment(s)
Hi cb 327
Thanks for taking the time to help me out here. Those ideas and web sites have given me some homework. :) I have just removed the master cylinder and bench mounted it. Pushed a steel rod down the end to simulate the booster push rod and only saw fluid coming out of the reservoir for the front brakes. Nothing at all coming out the rear port for the rear brake line. So its either air loccked or something wrong with the second piston and its seals.
I removed the circlip and primary and secondary pistons from the bore. Although the cups seals look okay there was seeping brake fluid out the end past the last cup seal.
I will try and rig the cylinder as per your daigram or net and see what result is get. Thanks 327

Bad Rear M/c Function
Hey Al, I have run into more than one master cylinder that pumped on the front and not on the rear. Sounds like its time for a new one. Is the combo valve block for a disc/disc setup? I didn't think you needed a residual pressure check valve unless the master cylinder was lower than the calipers. I noticed you have one in the photos. olnolan
Before you replace anything you need to either pressure bleed, or put a vacuum pump on the output side of your master. I had this identical problem with the brand new master I put on my Austin gasser which came from a Subaru Legacy. I got nothing from the rear outlets, at all when in the car, or bench bleeding.
I called a friend who works as frontend tech at the local Les Schwab and he told me they can be air locked, and need to be evacuated by pressure or vacuum.
I put a vacuum pump on the master until I got fluid out of both ports, then connected the lines again, and pulled the wheel bleeds to pull fluid to each wheel. After doing this the master worked perfectly and I got fluid out each bleed when I did the std. type bleeding by pumping the pedal.
I've never had this ever happen on a master before, and really was skeptical it would work, but I'm a believer now!
My Subaru master has twin ports for the front and rear , so it will allow individual lines to each wheel. I plugged one rear port, as I didn't need two lines going to the rear.
Pesky master cylinder.
Hi 427 .
As this master is new and you had the same problem i will follow your advice and have a crack at getting it to flow out of the rear port by figuring out how to apply pressure to rid the casting of the air lock. cobalt 327 had some websites to have a look at for bench bleeding master cylinders.
When i pulled the pair of pistons out today the cup seals looked okay and i was puzzled how there could be an airlock in the casting, but when i depressed the primary piston , like you i only had fluid out of the front port and nothing from the rear.
Olnolan also suggested the residual valve may not be needed for this 4 wheel disc setup ( i think it will hold 2 psi on the rear caliper pistons) Would this cause the rear pads to drag slightly ( something else to figure out.)
Back to the main issue of getting this m. cyl. to cooperate. I dont think the residual valve is the problem.
It the subaru tech had the answer then i will try that tomorrow.
I appreciate the help from the experienced guys here . Far better than being an aussie deer with no eyes, no ideer. :thumbup:
Back to garage to have another go.
Cheers and thanks.
Brake Fluid Incompatability
Hey Al, Just to throw out food for thought, make sure not to mix different brake fluids when bleeding, setup, etc. DOT 3/4 mixed with DOT5 can cause the seals to fail. They go from nice firm rubber to swelled up pieces of mushy crap. This is something the brake fluid companies don't mention. I think its either one or the other with no cross contamination. You may want to read up on this too.olnolan

Bend fire's trail closures affecting mtn. bikers
Cycling businesses fear potential summer of wildfires
BEND, Ore. - Bend has been slowed by the Two Bulls Fire, but bikers in particular have had to put their brakes on.
And with that, so have business owners.
"We've definitely seen traffic slow down in the shop," Jane Quinn, sales associate for Pine Mountain Sports on Southwest Century Drive, said Monday.
"There's definitely concerns as a town that's focused on outdoor recreation," she said.
Bend has over 300 miles of biking trails, but with the closing of the Mrazek trail and Shevlin Park on only the first official day of wildfire season, some are worried that it be the beginning of a long summer of trail closings.
"Phil's Trail, Wanoga Trail -- all those networks; they've been there forever. Those trails are quintessential Bend riding," said local biker Todd Schetzsle.
Phil's Trail is one of the most popular bike trails in Central Oregon for residents and tourists. Right up the stairs from Pine Mountain Sports is Cog Wild, a bike tour company that frequents the trail.
Company owner Lev Stryker is confident in the firefighting effort thus far, but still concerned about the flames of Two Bulls reaching Phil's Trail.
"It could potentially close it for the whole season, and that's where thousands of people ride through the whole year," he said.
And with those trails potentially out of commission, businesses like his could shift into the lowest gear imaginable.
"If our trails were to shut down, we'd pretty much have to shut down for the summer.," Stryker said.

But will she wear her mitre?
The Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will attend the enthronement of the new Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. From Episcopal News Service:
At the invitation of Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop and Primate Katharine Jefferts Schori will attend the enthronement celebration on March 21 at Canterbury Cathedral.
"I look forward to joining with other primates of the Anglican Communion for the investiture of the next Archbishop of Canterbury," Presiding Bishop Jefferts Schori said. "It is a particular delight to welcome Justin Welby in this role, as we have come to know him over the last several years, both in The Episcopal Church and among the primates. He enters this role at a time of opportunity and challenge, when many people hope for continued growth and maturation within the Communion."

Love the title. I had the same question.
Welby is an evangelical. Probably no one will wear them! 🙂
Justin does wear a mitre from time to time. And has fun with it. As does his daughter. Pics:
I conclude that if Justin has no problems with his daughter wearing a mitre he won't have a problem with Katharine wearing hers.
Ann, I promise I did not steal your title. Great minds...
It appears the matter of the mitre is settled. According to pictures of Rowan Williams' enthronement, the Primates wear the rochet and chimiere at the ceremony.

Our own Miss Marple, GrandmèreMimi, has sleuthed the answer -- only the enthronee will have a mitre.
A link to pics of Rowan's enthronement. Also answers another question -- yes, Frank Griswold was there.
Seems the last English bishop never to wear a mitre was the recently-retired and unlamented Wallace Benn.

I can't seem to get my wireless to work. I'm sure it has to do with the drivers and it being a broad com. I have searched everywhere and tried to follow ANY tut.s that have been for my chip and ones that were almost the same. I've been through the forums and Google searched anything a can think of that would help find a solution. Also I've tried to talk to people in the irc chat but all have referred me to Google and the forums, which i have done. I know it might be hard for some to realize that not all people are stupid when it comes computers, I myself, am pretty handy with windows and offer help to people when they need it. I admit that i don't understand much about Linux, but don't appreciate being treated like i'm a hassle for asking a question. If it's possible for some one to point me to a tut or something that can help getting this wireless to work. e Broad com 4321 80211.b/g/n it's in a HP Touch-smart tx2 laptop. Thanks in advance.
