Criteria for Receiving an FEC
eFECS creates FECs for employees with a job code in the range of 0001-0147 and 0151-0199 who satisfy at least one of the following criteria for the FEC reporting cycle:
- have been paid institutional base salary on a grant or contract (budget type 05),*
- have a mandatory cost share obligation,
- have committed cost share obligation (effort quantified - % and/or $) in the sponsored project proposal budget or budget justification with no corresponding funding requested or awarded,
- have a long term shift in funding source cost sharing documented in the eFECS Cost Share Module
*In cases where an employee has both a faculty and a non-faculty job code, eFECS creates an FEC regardless of whether payment on the sponsored project is associated with their faculty job code. The FEC will reflect the total compensation received by the individual, both as faculty and non-faculty, for the FEC cycle. In these cases, the individual should certify the FEC to avoid the appearance of a delinquent effort report and unecessary follow up efforts.
The following budget type/classes are not considered sponsored activity and do not in themselves qualify for printing an FEC. However, these budgets will appear on effort reports in the "Other Salary Sources" section when the faculty member is paid on sponsored agreements or has a cost share pledge or commitment.
- 05-34 - Fixed Price Surplus
- UW performs service at a firm price and may retain unexpended balance
- 05-45 - Service Contracts, Staff Assignments, Intergovernmental Personnel Assigments (IPA)
- A contractual agreement permitting UW faculty to work for an outside agency (e.g. VA)
- 05-52 - Clinical Income
- Clinical salary paid through a UW budget
- 05-57 - Royalty Income
- An ongoing payment for use of an asset (e.g. a book)
Once faculty members are selected, the system collects information for each FEC from
- FIN - budget name, budget type, revenue code, organization code, salary information including salary transfers
- eFECS Cost Share Module - cost share commitments

Hey Blazer Fans!!!! After a long weekend in Florida the team was looking forward to playing at home. Not only were we at home, but we also started conference play against two extremely tough teams, Southern Miss and UCF. Since we didn't have the best non-conference record we were excited to go into Conference USA with a clean slate. At that point, everyone's record was 0-0.
The practices leading up to our first conference game, against Southern Miss, were extremely productive. Every Tuesday we usually start practice off with a little fitness. This week was no different, but due the weather and field conditions we strictly ran at both practice and weights. Even though we didn't practice with the ball I thought these two conditioning workouts brought our team together. Whenever we have to run is the time that we encourage each other the most, and connect the most as a team. Encouragement and communication was a common theme last week at practice.
We really came to play Friday night! Everyone was hyped and excited to play our first conference game in front of our fans. We played extremely well keeping the ball away from Southern Miss for the majority of the game. We had a bit of difficulty in the final third with finding the back of the net, but in the 53rd minute freshmen Paige Hanks was clutch, scoring her 2nd goal of the season! Coming out of the first conference game with a win it felt good to be 1-0 and tied for first place!
Our game on Sunday against the 6th ranked team in the country, UCF, didn't go as well as Friday's game. They were a good team with some good players and we are looking forward to possibly playing them again in the conference tournament later on this season. We have two more conference home games next weekend against Marshall and ECU! We hope to see everyone this weekend!!
Go Blazers!!!!!

Having retired from a 36-year legal and business career, I now tutor students in law, the American legal system, or English, or all three, as well as basic Russian language. Having authored widely used textbooks on legal writing and oral advocacy, business law, and insurance regulation, and having founded and edited a weekly legal newspaper for lawyers in Pennsylvania, I have a breadth of knowledge about law and the American legal system, generally, and business, insurance, and intellectual property law, specifically. Since retirement, I have developed a specialty in teaching American law and legal English to foreign law students and lawyers.
I earned my CELTA designation - the University of Cambridge's (England) widely accepted certification in English language teaching to adults - in Russia in 2010, where I taught English and the American law system to Russian students in a city east of Moscow. In 2012, I was a Visiting Senior Law Professor in a Russian law school near Moscow, teaching about the American legal system. I also taught the fall semester in 2012 at a graduate law (LL.M./master's in law) program in Moscow and return to teach there the fall semester of 2013.
I taught a grant-funded American legal writing and legal English class to a group of lawyers from Tajikistan for four months last year, then a group from different countries for a month - all at the University of Delaware - and will again teach at that university this summer.
Additionally, I was Assistant Dean for Graduate Legal Studies & External Programs at the Temple University School of Law, administering all post-JD programs, including the master of comparative laws (LLM) degree for foreign students, LLM programs in taxation and legal education, continuing legal education for practicing lawyers, and Summer Sessions Abroad (Athens, Rome, Tel Aviv).
I taught legal writing and oral advocacy to law students at Villanova University School of Law and property law to Villanova paralegal students. I developed a course in Communications Law & Ethics for a new graduate program in international public relations and can tutor that subject. I am interested in teaching English to adults, as well as legal English to foreign students studying law and/or business in the United States or (via Skype) studying American/English law abroad. I can tutor students who hope to pass Cambridge University's International Legal English Certificate (ILEC). I live about 30 miles west of Philadelphia and can travel in this region. I not only have a long, distinguished legal career but also am the mother of a young adult and am accordingly "in sync" with young adults. I look forward to tutoring students!

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I passed the PA Bar exam in 1975. During my first year of law school (covering most of the bar exam subjects), I read aloud all first-year materials to a blind Vietnam veteran law student. I have not tutored anyone recently (recently retired, just beginning tutoring), but I have authored 3 books: One on business law (The Legal Environment of Insurance), one on insurance regulation (Insurance Regulation), and one on legal writing and oral advocacy (Legal Writing and Oral Advocacy). Additionally, for the past 20 years, I worked not only writing these books, but also drafting, literally, thousands of multiple-choice and essay questions on legal and insurance subjects - so I have an excellent feel for examination questions. I also took a graduate course on educational testing. I would advise my student to (1) follow instructions to the letter (we would go over them very carefully), (2) economize on time, not wasting time on things he/she is not sure about, (3) stay somewhere near the testing site so he/she can "fall out of bed" to get to the test (as I did, staying at a comfortable hotel), (4) not talk about the exam with others either before or after the test (too stressful), (5) rest, rest, rest, (6) choose the BEST answer right off the bat and not spend too much time worrying about each one - the initial impulse is probably the correct answer, and spending too much time on conditions, etc. is wasteful. If the student didn't take a particular course at all, he/she should memorize certain aspects of major points. For example, I did not take Sales and Negotiable Instruments - but a wise lawyer told me, "If you do nothing else, memorize the 9-point definition of a holder in due course and be ready to know that, if nothing else!"
I received a certificate in English language teaching to adults (CELTA) from the University of Cambridge, England, in October 2010. I taught English to Russian college students for 2 months last fall. I have also trained in ESL in the Volunteer English Program here in Chester County where I live and have 24 hours toward a master's in English.
I have taken (in the past 6 years) 24 semester hours of Russian language (for credit - 4.0 GPA, all At West Chester University) and have taught in the Russian Federation (teaching law primarily to Russian lawyers and law students) for a total of 15 months cumulatively in the past 6 years (returning each fall to teach another semester). I am now Permanent Visiting Law Professor at the Pericles International Law Center. I have also taught undergraduates at a Russian college, the Murom Institute, 200 miles east of Moscow. Although I teach Russian students in English, I have lived in Russia for 15 months and therefore used my Russian every day. In addition, I audited 2 Russian political science courses and 2 Russian culture courses. I do not teach advanced Russian but focus on introductory tutoring. Finally, I am Clerk of the Board of Friends House Moscow, a Quaker organization in Russia.

We all remember the panic of arriving to a math test in high school and searching frantically for our trusty TI Graphing Calculator among the crumpled papers and leaky pens at the bottom of our backpacks. While deep down we knew, the calculator was sitting on our desk at home. The horror! Mashable published a brief history of the infamous Texas Instruments Graphing Calculator's role in American Education here:
The education model
TI has remained one of the classroom's top products by providing a full support system, according to Peter Balyta, president of TI's worldwide Education Technology division. He's worked at the company for 14 years, nabbing the presidential title in February 2014.
"If you were to come in our building today, or any of our offices around the world, you would see actual teachers somewhere," Balyta tells Mashable. He means that TI is dedicated to providing educators with resources on how to use TI technology properly.
The education department offers teachers all over the world the opportunity to receive "professional development" through TI's T3 program, which the company started 25 years ago. Balyta describes professional development as a training session on how to "effectively use our technology when teaching math and science … to create an engaging environment around some difficult-to-teach concepts."

These rebuttals are in response to an anti-Catholic page on the internet. The Protestant viewpoint is in the red type, that is the actual article I downloaded on July 23, 1998. My response will be in blue.
(Protestant) "Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so." - Acts 17:11
I'll comment on this passage in another essay.
(Protestant) The Roman Catholic Church claims that a papacy with universal jurisdiction has existed since the time of Peter, and has been recognized as such since that time. The First Vatican Council claimed (emphasis mine):
"We therefore teach and declare that, according to the testimony of the Gospel, the primacy of jurisdiction over the universal Church of God was immediately and directly promised and given to blessed Peter the Apostle by Christ the Lord....At open variance with this clear doctrine of Holy Scripture as it has been ever understood by the Catholic Church are the perverse opinions of those who, while they distort the form of government established by Christ the Lord in his Church, deny that Peter in his single person, preferably to all the other Apostles, whether taken separately or together, was endowed by Christ with a true and proper primacy of jurisdiction; or of those who assert that the same primacy was not bestowed immediately and directly upon blessed Peter himself, but upon the Church, and through the Church on Peter as her minister." (Chapter I: Of the Institution of the Apostolic Primacy in blessed Peter.)
(Catholic) To his credit, the apologist has used an actual Catholic document to set up his argument.
(Protestant) These claims of the Roman Catholic Church leave no room for "development". If a papacy with universal jurisdiction has existed since the time of Peter and has been "ever understood" as such by the Catholic Church, then "development" is not a possibility. And if the First Vatican Council is wrong about this subject, then why should we trust the other claims of the First Vatican Council? Or the Second Vatican Council? Or the Third, Fourth, Fifth, etc.?
(Catholic) There is a serious assumption made here by the author that invalidates this entire paragraph. The assumption is that becuase a doctrine was known, that eliminates any "development." Well, I ask yout, did the Apostles teach the Trinity as a doctrine? You know the answer is "Yes, of course they did." You also know very well that this doctrine did indeed, "develop" throughout the first 300 + years of Christianity! It is a historical fact that the Council of Nicaea was called to combat the Arian heresy which denied Jesus was 'eternal', much like Mormons and JW's today. Therefore, you are in grave error assuming a doctrine cannot develop even if it is known.
(Protestant) While Peter is mentioned a lot in the gospels and in the earliest chapters of Acts, often this is because he's the most outspoken and rash of the disciples (Matthew 16:16, Matthew 16:22, Matthew 18:21, Matthew 26:33, Mark 9:5, John 18:10).
(Catholic) This is another assumption on the part of the apologist. You know well that not everything the Apostles said or did is written in Scripture. It is possible that many of the Apostles spoke a lot, albeit of the record, but it is interesting that only Peter's statements, for the most part, are recorded. For you to make this statement is "rash."
(Protestant) This is why Peter received so much attention from Jesus (Matthew 16:23, Luke 22:31-34, John 18:11, John 21:15-17).
(Catholic) Peter is mentioned in the New Testament 175 times, all other Apostles combined equal 155! Yeah, I would say that is MUCH more attention. One has to ask why Peter is so prominent in these writings. In John's Gospel we read: "but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.( John 20:31). This means that everything, I say everything, written in the Bible is there for a reason. We just cannot pooh-pooh evidence like this by simply saying Peter was "outspoken and rash." Although I agree with the assesment that Peter was outspoken, it doesn't follow that that is the reason he is mentioned so often.
(Protestant) From the second half of Acts forward, however, Paul is mentioned much more than Peter.
(Catholic) This should not be so surprising. Luke is the author of the Acts of the Apostles, and he was also Paul's secretary. So it would only stand to reason that when he was journeying with Paul, he'd be writing about Paul. And just because this is true, does this then invalidate everything written prior? A nonsensical question.
(Protestant) Paul ends up writing much more of the New Testament than Peter does, and the earliest church fathers (Ignatius, Polycarp, etc.) speak more of Paul than they do of Peter, and they make statements about Paul that are more exalted than what they say about Peter. Paul, by far, receives the most attention early on, even though Peter became more popular among many of the church fathers who wrote from the third century onward.
(Catholic) Now here is certainly an interesting statement. And I must say it is good to see Protestants reading the Fathers. The apologist says that the church fathers wrote more about Paul than Peter. Does he supply us with any actual texts? No. Are we just to take the authors word for it? I'm sorry, but when it comes to my faith, I want to see the evidence. Even if Iranaeus and Polycarp did mention Paul's name more often, what does it matter? After all, the Bible clearly lists Peter's name the most! Paul is not even in second place. You see how the non-Catholic argues then; first going to Scripture, and when that doesn't support his claims, he resorts to "tradition", a naughty word among Protestants. Besides, if you are going to take the evidence of what they wrote as verification of what was taught, then why not believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist? You know they all taught that! (I will be happy to provide you with these if you want to see them)
(Protestant) Did the apostles have any concept of Peter being their ruler? No (Luke 9:46, Luke 22:24, 2 Corinthians 12:11).
(Catholic) Let's look at Luke 22:24 since this apologist put this forth as one of his prooftexts. "A dispute also arose among them, which of them was to be regarded as the greatest. And he said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors. But not so with you; rather let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves" (emphasis mine) (Luke 22:24-26). Notice how the passage, when taken in context, shows there is a "leader", a "greater" one, in the apostolic community. I didn't say it, Jesus did! So there was a leader among the Apostles. Now, let's look at 2 Cor 12:11 "I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these superlative apostles, even though I am nothing. I don't think the apologist read 2 Corinthians. It is obvious, taken in context, that these "superlative apostles" are the heretics (Judaizers) whose teachings have infected the church at Corinth. To take this passage and apply it to the real Apostles is almost blasphemous. Because he uses this passage, which has absolutely nothig to do with the topic at hand and is badly taken out of context, everyhing else this apologist uses as a defense must be viewed with suspicion
(Protestant) Did Jesus think that Peter was a "shepherd" in the sense that he would oversee the other apostles? No. To the contrary, He tells Peter that John's future is none of his (Peter's) concern (John 21:21-22).
(Catholic) This is so typical of Protestant "cut and paste" mentality. Here is that whole passage, once again in context;
"When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." A second time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go." (This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, "Follow me." Peter turned and saw following them the disciple whom Jesus loved, who had lain close to his breast at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?" When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?" Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? Follow me!" ( John 21:15-22)
Now, who can't see that this does not say what this apologist wants it to say? In verses 15 through 17, Jesus tells Peter not once, not twice, but three times to do what? "FEED MY SHEEP." To whom else, even among the Apostle's, did Jesus command to "feed my sheep?" I ask you who are Christ's sheep? Are they not all the Christian believers around the world? Do you think Peter would ignore this command?
Now let's look at the verse you offered as proof. It seems obvious that Jesus wasn't telling Peter not to care about John's future, as you put it, but simply that if I (Jesus) want to keep him here till I return, that's none of your business. That is a far cry from not being interested in ANY part of his future, don't you think?
other point that needs to be made in this passage is another command
of Jesus to Peter. That command is "FOLLOW ME."
To "follow me" as visible head of the church is a very
viable interpretation taken the context of the passage.
(Protestant) The apostles are repeatedly portrayed as being at the same level of authority (Matthew 19:28, Ephesians 2:20, Revelation 21:14).
(Catholic) "Straw Man #1" The teaching of the Catholic Church is clear. All bishops, including the bishop of Rome, have the same status. The bishop of Rome only in certain circumstances, has this charism of the Holy Spirit to "FEED" Christ's sheep.
(Protestant) During the doctrinal dispute in Acts 15, Peter's testimony is heard (Acts 15:7-11), but doesn't settle the dispute.
(Catholic) Again, did you really read this passage, or did you just read your own 'gospel' into this passage. Let's look at this first ecumenical council of the Church in Acts 15;
"And after there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God who knows the heart bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us; and he made no distinction between us and them, but cleansed their hearts by faith. Now therefore why do you make trial of God by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will." And all the assembly kept silence. (Acts 15:7-12)"
is it you can say that Peters testimony did not settle the dispute!!
Look at the text! Verse 7 "After there had been MUCH
debate, Peter rose and said . . ." Then after Peters
testimony (actually proclamation, teaching, etc.) what happened in
verse 12? "And all the assembly kept silence."
He didn't settle the dispute, eh? Then why did they then
suddenly, and only after Peters speech, keep quite? Now I ask
you dear reader, who is reading a personal bias into this?
(Protestant) James has the last word (Acts 15:13-21), and his terminology is incorporated into the letter that's sent out (Acts 15:23-29). The letter mentions"the apost les and the brethren who are elders", but says nothing of papal authority.
(Catholic) James "last word" was nothing more than the 'plan' of putting what Peter proclaimed into action. In other words, how can we keep both the Judaizers and the new converts happy. He certainly added nothing new, doctrinally, to what Peter said. The letter does say "the apostles and the brethren who are elders", Isn't it nice to see a hierarchical structure in the early church. There is a definite distinction drawn here between 'apostles' and 'the brethren who are elders.'
(Protestant) Did the apostles view the Roman church as some sort of "Mother Church" that had supreme authority? No. To the contrary, Paul writes a letter of doctrinal and moral instruction to the Roman church. In his letter to the Romans and in his letters written from prison in Rome, Paul never mentions a papacy, nor does he even mention Peter in association with the Roman church. Paul refers to himself instructing and caring for all of the churches (1 Corinthians 7:17, 2 Corinthians 11:28), something he surely couldn't have done if he didn't have authority over the Roman church. Paul writes about church government over and over again (1 Corinthians 12:28, Ephesians 4:11-12, etc.), but never mentions a papacy. To the contrary, he refers to "apostles" as the highest authority (1 Corinthians 12:28), with no mention of a Pope who is above the authority of an apostle.
(Catholic) "Straw Man #2" How could the Church at Rome be Peters chair, if Peter hasn't yet made the trip to Rome (though he would in the near future)? Historians tell us that Peter first built up the church at Antioch before going on to Rome. But, unfortunately, this is the type of commentary you get from individuals who are bent on disproving the Catholic Church irregardless of what evidence there is to the contrary.
(Protestant) Peter himself also had no concept of a papacy.
(Catholic) I take it by this statement you knew Peter personally, or at least have access to everything he said or wrote.
(Protestant) He refers to his authority as an apostle (1 Peter 1:1, 2 Peter 1:1) and an eyewitness to Christ's earthly ministry (1 Peter 5:1, 2 Peter 1:16), but never as a Pope. Although he had just as much apostolic authority as the other apostles, Peter referred to his governmental authority as nothing more than that of a "fellow elder" (1 Peter 5:1). This passage is especially difficult for Roman Catholic claims because it forces Catholic apologists, if they want to argue that Peter was a bishop of Rome, to admit that the offices of elder and bishop are the same.
(Catholic) The office of bishop and elder are not the same. But, even today when a local bishops writes to the priests of diocese, he addresses them as fellow priests. You see, a bishop is a priest, but with an extra shot of the Holy Spirit (an extra ceremony of laying on of hands). Analogously, the "Speaker of the House (Senate)" addresses the other senators as 'fellow senators,' yet you will not argue the speaker has no more authority. Besides, as we have shown above, 'elders' and 'bishops' were different.
(Protestant) This is just what we see in the New Testament (Acts 20:17-28, Titus 1:5-7). The terms "bishop", "elder", "presbyter", and "overseer" all refer to the same office. Yet, the Roman Catholic Church wants to separate them, so that one bishop can have authority over elders and presbyters.
(Catholic) It's far beyond the scope of this essay to delve into the hierarchy of the New Testament, but let me provide you with a few passages which show a hierarchy. The hierarchy I will show is amongst the Apostles themselves. "Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?" Acts 2:37 (RSV) :"But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men. Acts 5:29 (RSV). "But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you." Mark 16:7 (RSV) Was not Peter an Apostle/disciple? If there was no distinction between him and the rest, then why do these passage all infer a distinction? "When they came to Caper'na-um, the collectors of the half-shekel tax went up to Peter and said, "Does not your teacher pay the tax?" Matt 17:24 (RSV) Now, I ask you dear reader, why would the tax collectors approach Peter specifically? We know that Judas was the treasurer (John 12:6, 13:29). Since Judas was the treasurer, wouldn't it make sense that the collectors approach him?? Unless, even those outside the community knew that Peter was the leader.
Obviously, there was no papacy during the time of the apostles, contrary to the claims of the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic apologist is left trying to either dismiss or distort most of what I've mentioned above, in addition to reading a papacy into passages like Matthew 16:18 and John 21:15-17.
(Catholic) This is not as obvious as you would like to think and there is nothing to distort as a Catholic. Again, let's look at Matt 16:18 as we've already discussed John 21:15-17. Here is the text:
"And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Matt 16:17-19 (RSV)
As you can see, the only distorting is being done by those who claim Peter is not the "Rock." I've read the apologist's explanation of this passage which comes later in this essay. But his explanation has many flaws. I've copied his argument below;
(Protestant) "The first of those five assumptions cannot be proven, much less all five of them. The Greek differentiates between Peter (petros) and rock (petra). If the statement was originally made in Aramaic, the terms kepha and minrah could have been used to make a distinction. Even if kepha had been used twice, which cannot be proven, that still wouldn't prove that the two are referring to the same object. The same word can be used to refer to two different objects, obviously."
According to todays Greek scholars, there is no difference between
"petra" and "Petros." The most likely
reason there are two different words used here is that "Petra"
is a 'femine' noun, and thus is unsuitable for Simons new name, so
Matthew masculinized the ending, and thus we have "Petros."
To answer the second part of his argument; if kepha and minrah
were used (although I see you noted COULD have been used), then
Matthew would certainly have used "petra" and "lithos"!
"lithos" is the Greek equivalent to small stone. We
see it used in the New Testament, indeed even in Matthews Gospel!
(see Matt 4:3, 21:42; 1 Peter 2:5 etc.)
(Protestant) As I've already mentioned, verses 21-22 of John 21 refute the Catholic interpretation of verses 15-17.
(Catholic) What are you saying here? That Jesus told Peter to "feed my sheep", then changed His mind? Or didn't really mean it? Or maybe it's that John isn't one of Jesus' sheep, which is ludicrous. Why do you try to explain away the clear reading of these verses? It is not the Catholic doing the 'distorting' here.
(Protestant) And Paul uses much the same language in speaking to the bishops of the Ephesian church (Acts 20:28). Obviously, Paul was not establishing the Ephesian bishops as rulers of a worldwide church. Neither was Jesus establishing Peter as such a ruler in John 21:15-17. More likely, as the church father Cyril of Alexandria suggested, Jesus was allowing Peter to affirm his love for Christ three times to make up for his earlier triple denial of Christ (Mark 14:66-72).
(Catholic) Another quote from a Church Father, great! Does this mean you follow Cyril when he says "For if our Lord Jesus Christ is God, how should the Holy Virgin who bore him not be called the Mother of God?" And speaking of Cyril's explanation, are we to assume you to believe that for each passage of Scripture there is ONE, and only one, interpretation? As Catholics we believe there are multiple interpretations to many passages. That is why you have guys like St. Augustine who interpreted Matt 16:18 various ways depending on the lesson he was preaching. But ALL interpretations were correct.
If all Jesus were doing was reaffirming Peter in the faith after his triple denial, then why did He say "feed my sheep," instead of something more suitable for job like "welcome back," or words of that sort. No, He specifically COMMANDED Peter to "Feed My sheep."
(Protestant) As far as Matthew 16:18 is concerned, the passage seems to be referring to a theme we see elsewhere in scripture. Peter is one of many rocks built upon the larger rock of Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11, 10:4, Ephesians 2:20, 1 Peter 2:4-8, Revelation 21:14).
(Catholic) I ask you, Mr Apologist, to how many Apostle's did Jesus give the "keys of the kingdom" to? Is that a theme echoed elswhere in Scripture too? To which Apostle specifically did Jesus give the power to bind and loose (I know in Matt 18 they all recieved this authority, but as a group, not individually)? How many Apostles did Jesus tell to "feed my sheep? To whom was given the divine perogative to 'walk on water'(Matt 14:29)? To which Apostle did Jesus specifically pray that 'your faith may not fail.'(Luke 22:31) I could go on, but why? The Scriptures are clear enough, it is only blind bigotry that causes one not to see the truth so beautifully brought out in these and other passages.
(Protestant) Consider the assumptions that must be read into the text in order to arrive at the Roman Catholic interpretation:
(Protestant) 1.) That Peter is the "rock" of Matthew 16:18.
(Catholic) I've already amply demonstrated that Peter was "the Rock." (see above) You can also refer yourself to John 1:42 where there can be no doubt who was to be called 'Rock'.
(Protestant) 2.) That nobody else would be a "rock" at the same time, meaning that nobody else would fill the same role.
(Catholic) Why did you change terminolgy from THE rock to A rock. We are all "rocks" (1 Peter 2), but Peter was THE "rock" upon which Christ built His Church. It is vital in discussing this issue to emphasize the OT typology and context of the petrine office, which is the office of the person to whom the keys of the kingdom have been given:
speaking for God, says that God is unhappy with Shebna, the man
with the Keys to the Kingdom. He says
to Shebna:
"I will thrust you from your office, and pull you down from your station. On that day I will summon my servant
Eliakin, son of Hilkiah; I will clothe him with your robe, and gird him with your sash, and give over to him your
authority. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. I will place the
key to the house of David on his shoulder; when he opens, no one shall shut, when he shuts no one shall
open." (Isaiah 22:19-22)
God tells Shebna that He will take his job and give it to Eliakin. He then goes on to describe the job. From this we know:
a)The keys to the Kingdom are a symbol of great authority
b)The person with the keys to the Kingdom is called a Father to all the people in the Kingdom. (The Pope
is called the "Holy Father"; the Italian word for Pope is "Papa").
c) This position is held by one person at a time.
d)Jesus even uses almost the exact same words to talk about the authority of Peter as Isaiah used to talk
about Eliakin: "what you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, etc..."(Matthew); "When he opens, noone
shall shut, etc..."(Isaiah). This refers to the person with the keys of the Kingdom having the "final say"
or "top authority".
e)Because the job was given to Eliakin, we know that someone had it before him, and when Eliakin dies, the position will be empty and they will need someone else to take the job. The same is true with the position of Pope, or Holy Father. Jesus chose Peter as the foundation for His Church, and made him the first person to hold the keys of the Kingdom. When Peter died, this position was empty, and the Church needed someone to fill this most important job. The other Bishops, guided by the Holy Spirit who Jesus promised to send to them to guide them (Jn 14:16-17, 26), chose Linus to succeed Peter. After that was Cletus, and so on. The Church can trace its history, through the Popes, all the way back to Peter, and so back to Christ, in an unbroken line.
was the job and the authority that Jesus gave to Peter when Peter
confessed that Jesus was the Son of God. Jesus
chose to use an image and phrases that all Jews were familiar with and would understand, and to change the chosen apostle's
name from Simon to Peter 'rock', so that everyone would see the significance in what he was doing.
was a great gift of Jesus to His family the Church. He knew
that He would be ascending to heaven, and being a
"Good Shepherd", He did not want to leave His flock without guidance, without someone visibly present to provide for them
throughout every age. This is why the Pope's staff is, even today, shaped like a shepherd's staff, and his symbol, even
today, is the keys.
the location of Peter's confession of faith and Jesus' giving him the
keys was Caesarea Philippi, in which
was situated a grotto for worship of the god Pan. Pan was worshiped as the god of shepherds. Where a false shepherd
had been, Christ instituted a true one.
(Protestant) 3.) That being the "rock" is equivalent to having universal jurisdiction over a worldwide denomination.
(Catholic)We've shown above, that if Peter is to "feed MY sheep", it goes without saying that his 'rockship' would extend to all believers in the world. Especially in the OT context (which is the context in which the Apostles would have understood it) we see that the person with the keys of the kingdom has jurisdictionover the entire kingdom; now since the kingdom of God extends over the whole world, we can understand how papal jurisdiction is also worldwide.
(Protestant) 4.) That Peter would have "successors" in this role.
(Catholic) Doesn't it seem a bit silly for Jesus to set up His "Church" (Matt 16:19) and only have it last till Peter died? I'm sure Jesus knew, being God, that Peter wouldn't be alive in 70 A.D. when Jerusalem and its temple were destroyed and Christianity needed a firm head to guide Christs' Church through those turbulent times. And if Christs' Church was to last until he comes (The gates of hell will not prevail against it) then where is this "rock" that Jesus Himself appointed in 33 ad? Not only that, but we see that the OT prototype clearly indicates successors.
(Protestant) 5.) That the "successors" would exclusively be bishops of Rome, with "antipopes" exempted.
(Catholic) What is so difficult in this? If Peter went to Rome and became the bishop of Rome (a historically provable fact), it only follows that those who succeed him as bishops of Rome will be his successor, thus inherent his "chair," thus his authority also. You would have to define for me what YOU think an antipope is.
(Protestant) The first of those five assumptions cannot be proven, much less all five of them. The Greek differentiates between Peter (petros) and rock (petra). If the statement was originally made in Aramaic, the terms kepha and minrah could have been used to make a distinction. Even if kepha had been used twice, which cannot be proven, that still wouldn't prove that the two are referring to the same object. The same word can be used to refer to two different objects, obviously.
(Catholic)This has been answered above.
(Protestant) The best that can be said in favor of the Roman Catholic position is that Peter might be "this rock" in this passage. Obviously, though, that doesn't even come close to establishing an apostolic papacy. And if the apostles didn't teach a papacy, then the Roman Catholic Church is wrong in its claim that the papacy has been "ever understood" by the church.
(Catholic) I think the best that can said for YOUR position is that it is in error. We have easily demonstrated from the Bible that Peter had a special role in Christs' Church. For you to deny that is to deny the plain reading of the text. But let's look at the early Church to see how it functioned. You've written a lot on this, denying that the early Christians believed in the authority of Rome, but let's see what they really believed. The following is an excerpt from Pope St. Clement about 95 ad. The Pope is writing to the church at Corinth, that same church Paul seemed to have so much trouble with. Note first of all, that this is written while the Apostle John is still alive, and second, that Rome is not anywhere near Corinth (there were bishops in closer proximity to Corinth than Rome).
"Owing, dear brethren, to the sudden and successive calamitous events which have happened to ourselves, we feel that we have been somewhat tardy in turning our attention to the points respecting which you consulted us;"
Note, first of all, how the Corinthian church requested that Rome look into their "problem". Doesn't that sound "Romish"? Secondly, Clement feels the need to apologize for taking too long to respond! This, my friends, is papal primacy in action. I guess my opponent thinks maybe I took this out of context, too? (There is more on the Church Fathers here)
(Protestant) The truth is that the papacy is an institution that took hundreds of years to come into being. Catholic apologists try to force a post-apostolic institution into the writings of the apostles. Don't be deceived (Colossians 2:8).
(Catholic) Actually, the papacy took thousands of years to develop. From Moses, through Abraham, and the rest of the prophets and kings of the old Testament, God was preparing His people for the New Covenant, which included His Prime Minister, ala old Testament (see Isaiah 22:19 ff). That Prime Minister is Peter, and his successors, down to the present age, Pope John Paul II.

For most first years, the past few weeks will have been a blur of going to gigs, joining clubs, meeting new friends and slotting in the occasional lecture here or there. But, while graduation may still seem a long way off, and at the risk of sounding like a party pooper in the run-up to Christmas, failing to knuckle down even in your first year can have severe consequences these days for your future career prospects.
In an increasingly competitive graduate jobs market, a growing number of employers are now wooing first- and second-year students, as well as those approaching their finals. In fact, with applications for most first- and second year summer placements and internships opening either side of Christmas, it's never too early to start thinking about life post-graduation - and flunking your first-year exams is not a good way to get noticed.
"Two years ago you could probably still have mucked about in your first year - and to an extent there is nothing really wrong with that, because university is all about learning who you are - but with the graduate jobs market getting harder, the calibre of candidates employers are going to be able to choose from is going to get higher," warns Jonathan Fitchew, joint managing director of graduate recruitment firm Pareto.
The second or penultimate year has traditionally been the time when students start to think about getting some work experience, concedes Heather Collier, director of the National Council for Work Experience.
But more employers are now recognising the value of offering work experience to first-year students, or even targeting people before they have started at university.
As well as summer internships for students in their penultimate year and "sampler days" for all years, the management consultancy Accenture, for example, offers several eight-month placements to people in between school and university, points out its recruitment director, Julia Harvie-Lidden.
"We have certainly started to have a more active dialogue with students at a much more junior level. People are forming their decisions earlier and earlier," she says.
Amina Adewusi, a final-year social policy undergraduate at the London School of Economics, has almost lost track of the number of placements and internships she has done.
"I've worked for the Department of Health, been to India with an NGO, done placements with the law firm Allen & Overy and at the Southbank Centre in London, spent time with the British High Commission in Abuja in Nigeria and worked for the universities minister, David Lammy. It's probably too much," she says, laughing.
Nevertheless Adewusi, 20, is absolutely sure getting all this experience under her belt will stand her in good stead in her ambitions to either become a lawyer or to work for the Foreign Office.
"I think it is important to start as early as you can - but it's also important to try and have fun while you are doing it," she explains.
Adewusi found most of her placements by trawling the internet and approaching employers directly, but she also recommends making an appointment with your university's careers department.
On top of all this, Adewusi is being sponsored by the Southbank Centre through a two-year, part-time leadership programme run by the charity the Windsor Fellowship, which offers personal development and training to talented black and Asian students.
"When you are applying for jobs it is now about a lot more than the degree. The degree part of the application is normally quite small - we all come out with good degrees these days - and so a lot of the questions tend to be about what other skills you have: things such as teamwork, personal achievements and awards," she adds.
The big banks have traditionally been some of the most active in offering internships to graduates and, despite the global financial crisis, many still see wooing graduates at a young age as a key part of their recruitment strategy.
HSBC, for example, takes a bout 70 graduates onto its seven-week summer placements, normally split about 40/30 between first and second years, says John Morewood, senior graduate recruitment and development manager.
"They do tend to act as feeders for our full-time graduate schemes," he explains. "What we aim to do is to place students in a branch pretty close to where they want to be and give them a project to work on that they present to the regional director."
First years who make a success of this are normally offered the chance to do a further placement in a different area the following summer. Some even decide at this point to go through an assessment centre to secure a place on the full-time scheme when they graduate.
But many employers tend to be cautious about making permanent offers to first years simply because it is so early in the degree cycle, meaning there is more chance of them changing their minds and the investment being wasted, points out Collier.
Another student who got in early is Jonathan Colmer, now a second-year economics student at the University of Exeter. The 19-year-old did two weeks' work experience this summer with the international development charity World Vision.
"It was unpaid but it was a fantastic experience because it is exactly the sort of area I would like to go into," he explains. "I was doing data analyses of some of the projects and comparing
trends in different countries. "
The experience has whetted his appetite for more. "I am hoping to go back to World Vision to do some work in its policy department this summer. And I am planning to go out to Uganda for a month to get some field work experience, which is really valuable to have," Colmer adds.
For students who grew up knowing nothing but boom years, recession may still be an alien and scary concept . But the message is starting to get through that it's likely to be a much tougher world out there upon graduation than for previous generations - and work experience will be one of the key ways to stand out from the crowd.
"There is much talk at the moment among students about how competitive it is becoming," says Colmer.
"There are a lot of employers around the careers fairs and a lot are really looking to get involved with universities. You do need to try to get an idea of the sort of industry you are likely to enjoy, but at the same time don't close off your options too early," he advises.

It's been a long time since I've fired that gun, but I remember it was right after dad bought it, and it had a lot of feed problems. It was an awkward gun and had an icky trigger pull - the kind where the trigger is practically touching the back of the guard before it goes BOOM. I'm not sure if that's the original finish.

Hi i have a old btyant furnace 385s my gas valve is sticking. It's a old 24v gas valve that has 1/2 in 1/2 out with a escapement tube going to the old style 2H pilot and to the pressure regulator. it looks like the valve has a marking of pCi with the number 26266C stamped on it. does anyone know where i can get this valve OR can someone point me in the direction on what i need to buy to up grade this to a newer valve, regulator, pilot assy
looks to me like it might be time for a replacement furnace........... The savings in efficiency could well pay for the upgrade fairly quickly.
the pilot is a standing one(no spark ignition) with its own line off the line into the valve but not on it?if so you can install a Honeywell or White/Rogers straight 24V controlled valve(2 wires connect) what type of stat are you controlling the furnace with right now....just wondering?your local www.Grainger.com has a line of replacement gas valves do you have a thermocouple to proof the pilot to that valve...now. if so check out Grainger Honeywell valve #2E520 some body might kick in with something else just giving you a source for now... NOTE dont see any 1/2 X 1/2 valve comes with a bush up kit fitting most are 1/2 X 3/4
no, the last thing and most important is the heat exchanger.
The heat exchanger on the OLD furnace should be examined for defects by a professional before you put any money into it. Also, the pilot needs upgraded to include a safety device that shuts off the gas in case the pilot blows out.

Yeah this is VERY important. The new gas valve will have an internal regulator. It will also turn off the gas if the pilot goes out....the setup you have now will allow gas to continue to escape even in the event of a pilot failure. That's not a good thing. Imagine trying to light a pilot when the area is already full of gas.......enough said?
That type of setup will keep the main burner from coming on but will do nothing to shut off the pilot should it blow out and will keep dumping gas.
after a complete heat exchanger inspection...if safe.. use a standard 24 volt combination gas valve it will have pilot safety built in...ben sr:yes:
The sticking gas valve and the seperate reg get replaced by a standard gas valve. Adaptation to the gas pipe length and pilot tube end is needed.
Get a licenced HVAC gas fitter to do this so he can at least verify the integrity of the heat exchanger or it's all just a waste of time and money.
the upgrade of the gas valve may require a new pilot assembly as well to accommodate a thermocouple.

Parks and Recreation star Nick Offerman heads up the cast of writer/director Bob Byington's deadpan farce tracing 35 years in the lives of three friends who dutifully endure humanity's various obligations while faithfully supporting each other through both good times and bad. Even when it starts to feel as if everything is pointless, Max (Keith Poulson), Sal (Offerman), and Lyla (Jess Weixler) can take comfort in the fact that their best friends will be there to point out just how absurd it truly is to get caught up in the drama.

I bought my 04 early January this year...and I just checked out the coolant and...it's already right between the full and empty/low line in the reserve tank.!!! So I went to the PepBoys and bought some green coolant. I was wondering if you can help me...
- where should I pour the coolant?...
1. into the reservior next to the turbo or;
2. into white plastic reservior with the level indicator?
**the manual says into the one next to the turbo, but will pouring it in there make the white plastic reservior indicator rise???
- should I mix any water with the coolant before pouring it in? If so..how much should I do. I live in Cali...so the weather is not as extreme as some other spots.
- what brand of coolant do you guys use?
Thanks so much for your advice!

Jessica Pare: Mad About Fashion at the 2014 Met Gala
Gearing up for another year of excellence from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, Jessica Paré was in the house for the 2014 Met Gala tonight (May 5).

With a guest list that includes the biggest names in fashion and entertainment, there's no telling what to expect from the 2014 Met Gala.
Designer Zac Posen previously told E!, "I think people are going to look spectacular! I think we are going to see lots of major, major gowns and very strong iconic moments. You know, it's a very cut down list so I think everyone that's going is expected to shine."

Jakarta (The Jakarta Post/ANN) - Indonesia's Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry is considering a plan to issue a decree banning shark and manta ray hunting, after a provincial administration in West Papua issued such a regulation to conserve the sea creatures.
Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Sharif Cicip Sutardjo said on Tuesday that the Raja Ampat administration had taken a major leap in fighting shark hunting by issuing regional regulation (banning shark and manta ray hunting.
"I really hope that the actions of the Raja Ampat administration encourages other regions to follow suit, especially areas like East Nusa Tenggara [NTT] and West Nusa Tenggara [NTB], where sharks remain under threat," Sharif said at the National Symposium on Shark Protection on Tuesday.
Last week, the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (COP CITES) included four species of sharks in its Appendix II list - a list of species that are not yet threatened with extinction, but the trade of which should be closely controlled.
Indonesia, which has ratified the treaty that aims to protect precious timber and marine species from over-exploitation, is expected to respond to the conference's result.
"The ministry is preparing a ministerial decree to ban shark hunting that will be ready in around three months, and we will socialise the decree in all of the country's provinces," he added.
Shark hunting in waters off the eastern part of Indonesia, including the provinces of NTT, NTB, West Papua and Papua, as well as Maluku, is still taking place at an alarming rate, Sharif said. "Sharks are at the top of the food chain, and their extinction could cause serious damage to our ecosystem," he said.
Separately, Raja Ampat Regent Marcus Wanma said the regency was home to 75 per cent of the world's coral reef types, as well as 1,320 species of fish.
The decreasing number of sharks and manta rays has affected the ecosystem, causing a decline in the number of tourists visiting the regency's underwater attractions as well.
"Shark hunting is a big threat to the economy and ecosystem in Raja Ampat. Based on this, the administration decided to issue this regulation solely to protect the sustainability of the regency," Marcus said.
Issued in October 2012, the regulation stipulates anybody caught hunting any species of shark or manta ray will face at least a six month jail term and a fine of 50 million rupiah (US$5,148).
"Most hunters are foreigners, because the local community in Raja Ampat are more dependent on the tourism sector," Marcus said.
Separately, Mark Erdmann, a senior adviser to Conservation International's marine program, said Indonesia was the world's biggest shark exporter, with 15 per cent of the world's shark fins and manta ray gill plates coming from Indonesia.
Erdmann said a slain shark was valued from 100,000 to 1.3 million rupiah, and is therefore considered a profitable trade by many living in coastal areas.
"The ban on shark hunting has raised concerns as it threatens the livelihoods of local fishermen, but actually local communities can benefit more from underwater tourism if they allowed sharks and manta rays to live," Erdmann said.
He said in the tourism industry, the attraction of one shark pulled in around 300 million to 1.8 billion rupiah per year, around 18 billion rupiah in its lifetime. He added that a slain manta ray was valued at around US$40 to $200, but could be worth around US$1.9 million in its lifetime if left to reside in a tourism destination.
"Manta ray tourism gives the country a total income of US$15 million per year, while manta ray hunting only brings in around US$570,000 per year," he said. "The numbers show which side is more profitable."
*US$1=9,746 rupiah

The oursourcing of IS expertise to supplement in-house resources is a widespread and growing practice. This paper describes the empirical investigation of characteristics of clients and external consultants, and of their interactions, which influence consultant engagement success when selecting a computer system. the study model is tested through (1) a pilot case study, (2) cross-case analysis of five firms, and (3) a survey of clients and consultants involved in 49 computerization projects. Path analysis suggests (1) Clients and consultants have similar influence on the level of client involvement, (2) The relationship bewteen the client and the consultant is key to success, and (3) While no direct effect of involvement through relations is large.

PSG renew interest in Milan's Pato
Paris St Germain boss Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed the Ligue 1 giants will continue to pursue AC Milan forward Alexandre Pato when the transfer window re-opens.
Pato has been ruled out for the remainder of the Serie A season due to ongoing muscle problems.
However, despite the Brazilian suffering 13 related injuries since January 2010, Ancelotti insists PSG will look to add Pato to the growing list of stars in their squad.
"Pato was one of our targets in January, and remains one of our transfer targets for the future," Ancelotti told Rai Sport.
"It's true that he has been injured a lot, but I still consider him to be an extraordinary talent who can prove himself to everybody.
Pato's current contract at the San Siro runs until 2014, but speculation has been rife for some time that the Brazilian will be sold as a result of his injury problems.

Air Duct Cleaning Atlanta GA
Who are we?
We are the hassle-free answer to all your duct and vent related problems, such as air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, installation, repair and service of HVAC systems, furnace cleaning, AC unit cleaning, and installation and service of germicidal UV light systems.
What's in YOUR Ducts?
Have you ever stopped to think about what could be in the duct work system in your home? Dirt, pollen and other allergens can be in your ducts and as the conditioned air travels through your duct work into your home these pollutants can be carried with it.
Protect your Family!
Poor indoor air quality impacting the health and comfort of your family, but children and the elderly who suffer from allergies and respiratory ailments are more vulnerable to the polluted air in your home. Protect your family by scheduling duct cleaning on regular bases.
From The Blog
Hello world!Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!
Recent Works
If you notice some of the above signs, the main reason to call in air duct cleaning Orlando Florida experts include:
Indoor air qualityThis is one of the main concerns for homeowners who invest in air duct cleaning. A lot of dust is normally produced in the house via everyday living. The cooling and heating systems can be described as the lungs of the house. This is because the system actually takes in air and then breathes it out. Through normal living circumstances, a great deal of contaminants are drawn to the HAVC system and then re-circulated about 5 to 7 times a day. After some time, the contaminants can build up in the duct work. Despite the fact that dirty ducts don't necessarily mean that you have unhealthy air at the work place, school or home, they may end up contributing a great deal to a number of health issues especially for people who have respiratory conditions, environmental allergies and autoimmune disorders.
Energy savingExpert studies show that about 25-40% of the energy used for cooling or heating a home normally go to waste. This is another major reason why air duct cleaning Orlando Florida professionals should be called in to do the job for the simple reason that contaminants in the cooling and heating system cause it to work harder to function properly and even shortens its life. Even when filters are used, the cooling and heating system can still get dirty via normal use. When the system is clean, it will not have to work hard to function properly and maintain the temperatures you want. As a result of this, less energy is required. This helps you save money as it enhances cost effectiveness.
Prevents dry fireWhile the professionals are cleaning the air ducts, they also go ahead and clean the dryer vents. This is very important as it can help in the prevention of dry fire occurrence in the home, office, school or any other institution.
To ensure you fully benefit from the benefits of the work that will be done by the air duct cleaning Orlando Florida experts, they should come in at least every 3- 5 years. Do not listen to contractors who say that it should be done more frequently. It is also advisable to have it done when you move into a new home or after you finish a remodeling project.

Somewhere JMB and Col. Cooper are rolling over in their graves.
OK seriously, there are some other polymer 1911 style guns out there already and they seem to run just fine. STI and SV come to mind. At an msrp of $800 I'm guessing that you'd be better served by a Springer. To me the wow factor of the 1911 isn't worth paying the extra money for them. Then you add in the polymer frame that takes away half of the old school beauty. So, to me, I'd go with a Springer if I was buying a 1911. Or, if I wanted a polymer gun, I'd go with Glock/M&P.

Am reading The Crocodile's Embrace. It's so gripping, I can hardly stop to go to work.
I haven't finished it, but already I'm asking, "When's the next book?"
So glad that you're enjoying it. Right now, I'm not certain when the next Jade adventure will be released. But I'll keep people posted either here or at the website www.suzannearruda.com
