text: UF Named Facilities M.E. Rinker, Sr. Hall Honoree M.E. Rinker Marshall E. "Doc" Rinker embodied the American Dream. The Indiana native had humble beginnings, hauling building materials in the 1920s, but eventually made it big in Florida. Rinker started his building construction company with a single truck. By 1988, the company had become the largest concrete supplier in the state of Florida, and Rinker sold it for $515 million.Through his success, Rinker was able to establish the M.E. Rinker, Sr. Foundation, Inc. which has had a tremendous impact on the University of Florida. Through that Foundation, M.E. Rinker pledged $4 million to the University of Florida's School of Building Construction in 1989, which resulted in the school being renamed "The M.E. Rinker, Sr. School of Building Construction." Donations continued after Rinker's death, including a $650,000 pledge in 1999 by the Marshall E. Rinker, Sr. Foundation led by his son, David Rinker. The new facility for the school, M.E. Rinker, Sr. Hall, was dedicated in 2003. Facility History Rinker Hall is the first building in the state university system designed using the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System. UF's College of Design, Construction and Planning also holds the Rinker Scholar Endowment, which supports faculty members pursuing a doctoral degree in construction management.

"This is a terrific recipe and works equally well using sea scallops or chunks of meaty fish such as cod, swordfish or salmon. Sometimes I skip the sage and served topped with guacamole mixed with a little mayo. Delish!"

An SAS sniper released from jail last week after winning a court appeal has returned to work, his wife said today.
Sergeant Danny Nightingale, 37, had his 18 months' military detention for illegally possessing a pistol and ammunition overturned on Thursday by three appeal judges.
Talking to BBC Breakfast, his wife Sally said he had been put back on the payroll but would now have to undergo tests regarding a brain injury which affected his memory.
"His identity has been revealed now, so it might be that he has to have a completely different role," Mrs Nightingale added.
Sgt Nightingale, a father of two, from Crewe, Cheshire, is seeking to have the conviction quashed to clear his name, with an appeal expected to be heard next year.
Mrs Nightingale said it was "very important" to get the conviction overturned.
"We don't think Danny should have to take a criminal conviction over this," she said.
"It affects his whole career, it affects the rest of his life. There is a lot of places he couldn't travel to or work in if he had this criminal conviction hanging over his head."
Sgt Nightingale was jailed after admitting illegally possessing a Glock 9mm pistol and more than 300 rounds of ammunition.
He claimed he could not remember having the pistol - given as a gift after he served in Iraq - due to his brain injury.
Judges concluded that the sentence was too harsh after a hearing at the Court Martial Appeal Court in London.
They cut the term to 12 months, said it should be suspended, and ordered Sgt Nightingale's release after being told more than 100,000 people had signed a petition calling for the soldier to be freed.

Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera)
The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) is thought to be native to the warm climates of Polynesia, Malaysia and southern Asia. The trees bloom and bear fruit throughout the year, growing a new flower spike nearly every month. This then becomes a cluster of six to twelve nuts. The nuts are the largest seed known to the world, and can take up to a year to fully mature.
The tree can yield two hundred coconuts.
'Kalpa vrishka,' the Sanskrit name for the coconut, means 'tree which gives all that is necessary for living.'
The white flesh (harvested from inside the nut) is washed, shredded and dried. This is known as desiccated coconut.
Our organic coconut oil (or coconut butter, as it is also known) is extracted from the inner flesh of the coconut.
We buy from the Indonesian island of Nias where the coconut groves help the local community, which is at constant risk from earthquakes and tsunamis.
When applied topically, coconut oil can reduce the symptoms associated with psoriasis, eczema as it gives a natural balance to the skin.
We use extra virgin coconut oil in our Coconut deodorant powder as a binding agent, keeping all our ingredients together when applied.
Extra virgin coconut oil is the best grade to use in skincare. We use it in our moisturizer range, including Gorgeous, and Skin's Shangri-La.
We use the extra virgin grade oil in our luxurious Heavanilli Massage Bar for its moisturizing and softening properties.

"Rare Handcrafts" timepieces: Artisanship beyond compare
Photo gallery of the event
The Patek Philippe Salons on Rue du Rhône in Geneva hosted from May 28th to June 1st 2013 an exhibition entitled "Rare Handcrafts" in which the focus was on the external elements of watches: cases, dials, and bracelets. It featured an eclectic selection of 47 exclusive Patek Philippe timekeeping instruments – wristwatches, pocket watches, and table clocks – for which the most eminent masters of now rare artisanal talent were able to demonstrate their incomparable skills.
The rare handcrafts encompass a number of fascinating decorative techniques that were used to adorn the dials and cases of clocks and watches for centuries. They helped establish the reputation of Geneva all over the world and the respective masterpieces were coveted by emperors, kings, tsars, and ruling families throughout Europe and Asia. Magnificent works of art were created and endowed with elaborate engravings, lavish enamel decorations, as well as unique goldsmithing and gemsetting artistry.
They lived up to the precision, complexity, and exquisite finishing of famous Geneva-made movements in every respect. Some of these handcrafts are still flourishing, while others gradually faded away in the course of the past decades, reaching the brink of extinction – in danger of vanishing from the collective memory of human society. But over fifty years ago, under the auspices of the Stern family, Patek Philippe began to secure the future of these rare occupations.

Most of what I've read lately about food in America makes me lose my appetite. Outbreaks of deadly pathogens that sicken or even kill people. Chemical spray and dead zones. Exploited workers. "Hollywood Food" that looks great but lacks taste and nutrition. It's enough to make me want to sell my vegetable farm.
That is why I am so eager to tell a story about how a few vegetable farmers in one small community are collaborating with a food co-op to realize one big idea: Providing locally grown food year-round. It's not going to counteract all the bad news, but it is hopeful—and hope is the reason I haven't sold my farm.
The Community Food Co-op in Bozeman is surrounded by mountains, ranches, farms and hay fields, and for its entire 34-year history, it has bought only locally produced fresh food grown within 100 miles of Bozeman. This year, it's planning to buy more—a lot more. Already, in 2012, the Co-op doubled the amount of local produce it purchased. This was partly a result of increased demand, encouraged by some of the Co-op's organizational decisions.
The Co-op maintains a central kitchen, where almost all the food is prepared for delivery to its two retail food stores. The management is made up of complete and utter foodies, who understand the ethics of eating locally and the environmental and economic benefits involved. They also understand budgets.
The Co-op uses produce daily in its salad bars and prepares hot meals to sell in both food stores. One major change involves how it's using local produce in the processed foods that can be stored for sale throughout the year, with pumpkin pies as a great example. Right before Thanksgiving in 2011, the Co-op sold roughly $5,000 worth of pies, using canned, locally grown, pre-made pumpkin for filling.
That was amazing enough. Last year, though, using local pumpkins that had been processed a month earlier, the Co-op sold nearly $12,000 in pies in the same time period. The local pumpkin surge was a success.
To be sure, an extra marketing effort helped create more awareness about the pies and their ingredients, undoubtedly helping sales. And because the Co-op was purchasing in wholesale quantities, growers like myself could drop our prices a bit, meaning that the pies were also less expensive.
But that was only the beginning. In 2013, the Co-op wants to significantly increase the amount of local food it uses, mostly by canning, freezing and pickling. Of course, this requires investment—around $50,000 in equipment and 60 more hours a week in additional staffing during the harvest months. The costs are not paltry, but between grants and increased sales, the Co-op anticipates recouping this money within two years.
This is a revolutionary change for selling local food. Processing removes the significant barrier of seasonality, which has historically limited the availability of Montana-grown produce. Now, I can sell more food than I could in years past, when I could only sell the Co-op what it could use immediately. It was still a considerable amount, but the seasons limited my sales.
With processing, I can grow more food in the summer, keep my prices down for the Co-op, and in return the Co-op can buy more food and sell it for months. Everyone wins: I find a bigger market, making my business more stable. The Co-op finds a steadier supply of local foods, its shoppers get the food they like to eat and the prices stay affordable. This proves that communities can take control of their own food supplies while also helping farmers who use ethical, sustainable, no-spray practices to forge a stronger relationship with a local food organization.
I like this story because it shows how any community can make significant moves toward food security and self-reliance, all the while showing positive results on the bottom line. We don't need laws or scare tactics to make these changes, just trust and strong taste buds.

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that gives you a variety of easy and practical techniques to improve your way of life. Feng means wind, Shui means water it is ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in China. It came to mean good fortune to anyone who practices it.
Feng Shui has a psychological content that separates it from merely decorating your place. It manipulates energy to enable its flow to maintain a positive momentum in given area. It uses directions to determine "Chi (Qi)" or the energy flow in a particular area or of a person.
It increases productivity, enhances discipline, creativity and success. Lawrence Brown, founder of Dallas boutique law firm specialized in white collar crimes, has implemented some Feng shui aspect to his law firm. He noticed a change in overall employee moral and saw many of his lawyers were bringing in more clients. It also attracted abundance, improved mental clarity and focus, reduced stress and helped them feel more relaxed and peaceful. Your office will also benefit from it because the space you'll make can inspire new projects and can stir creative endeavors to flourish.
How to Feng Shui Your Office
1. Orient your desk.
Your desk should never have its back to a door or a window. Desks facing the wrong direction can throw off the balance of the entire office. Orient your desk directly across the main door where you can see as much of the room as possible. This arrangement offers protection and attracts opportunities as they come to you during your career.
2. De-clutter the office and organize everything.
A clutter-free workspace allows for all your creativity to flow naturally because our surroundings directly affect our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well being. It invites focus and inspiration. Use colored binders, labeled shelves, cables should be hidden from sight and bins should have covers.
3. Utilize the south-east and decorate it with symbols of fortune.
This invites money to keep coming in. Some symbols or items you may want to use are a jade plant in a red pot, flowing water or a pond with a fish in it, a coin jar, etc.
4. Design it with items that can help relieve stress.
You can start by using furniture with rounded corners or positioning sharp corners out of the way. The light in the office should be regulated and harsh lighting should be avoided.
Flowing water represents prosperity and wealth, which is something you may want to consider. Add music or mist with essential oils if you must to keep stress levels to a minimum.
5. Fill your office with natural light and fresh air.
Natural light is scientifically proven to impact the way we feel. We get Vitamin D from sunlight that helps us feel happier and stress-free. A happy office is always creative, responsive, participative and efficient so adding up additional windows in your office is always going to be worth it. If your office is somewhere natural light can't get to, make sure your office is still well-lit by adding lamps, or more lights.
6. Incorporate a Bagua in the office.
A Bagua is an 8 sides map where each side correlates to each aspect of your life. Just like how Southeast side relates to money. It helps you reflect on various aspects of your life. If you've had a stressful day at work, you can just look at the Bagua and remind yourself to breathe.
7. Use the concept of Yin and Yang/ Balance and Harmony.
Yin and Yang represents the feminine and masculine energies. To simply put the concept of balancing yin and yang, you must find balance between the two extreme forces, i.e. if you're office is too bright, try incorporating furniture in darker tones, or an abundance of angular furniture can be balanced when by adding curved or flow-y objects.
8. Choose office-suitable feng shui colors.
Choosing the color of your office is probably one of the hardest parts in the design process. Consider the following when deciding which color to use: study the psychological effects of colors to people's psyche, research about feng shui bagua and the color that corresponds to the utilization of each area. Soft yellow, sandstone, pale gold, pale orange, pale green, blue-green are always suitable for the office according to feng shui. White increases focus while brown and earth tones will keep the office in harmony however, it doesn't inspire creativity as much.

There are many reasons to study YFM at Augsburg College, but here are a few that we think are most important.
The Major
While other schools might offer certificates or concentrations in ministry, at Augsburg College you can actually major in Youth and Family. Plus, we have two full-time tenure track faculty members devoted to this program.
The Location
Augsburg's location in the heart of Minnesota's Twin Cities gives us easy access to every type of church you could imagine – mega-churches, house churches, cathedral churches, traditional churches, alternative churches, urban churches, suburban churches, rural churches, liberal churches, conservative churches, etc. This makes our location the perfect location in which to study the church. Augsburg's neighborhood, Cedar-Riverside, is pretty exciting too! Read more about our Cedar-Riverside neighborhood.
Service Learning
Augsburg College has been recognized for its emphasis on service learning. This is an approach to education that sees the neighborhood and the city as an extension of the classroom. You won't just learn from books or lectures in a classroom, you will also learn by doing out in the community. This method of service learning won't just be the way YOU learn, it will also serve as a way for you to learn how to use service learning with youth. Read more about Service Learning at Augsburg College.
At Augsburg we believe God calls each of us to serve our neighbors in unique and important ways. This is the meaning of vocation, or call. We believe you have a call – right now. At this moment you are in the process of living out God's call for your life. Your Augsburg experience will help this vocation emerge and will help you find new ways to live it out. Vocation also happens to be one of the most crucial tasks for youth ministers – helping young people understand and live out their unique call from God. We can help with this! Read more about Vocation at Augsburg College.
Augsburg's student body is incredibly diverse – we look different, we learn differently, we believe in different things, etc. This diverse community makes for a very exciting place to learn and to have your faith formed. You will be in religion classes with students from many other religious traditions and with some who are not religious at all. This only serves to strengthen your own understanding of your faith and how to communicate it with others. There is no better way to be trained for ministry in today's world. Read more about Diversity at Augsburg College.

Sometimes I have material left over when I edit Comments down to fit the available space. This page presents notes that landed on the clipping room floor. Some may be useful to you. While I avoid technical language in the Comments (or explain special terms), Clippings may have unexplained jargon from time to time.

Genesis 24:34-38,42-49,58-67
This story is from the Yahwist (J) tradition. [ NJBC]
Verse 2: "his servant": Probably Eliezer of Damascus. 15:2 tells us that if Abraham continues not to have a son, Eliezer will be his heir. [ NOAB]
Verse 2: "Put your hand under my thigh": See also v. 9. An old form of oath-taking. A modern agreement includes penalties for failing to keep it. For example, if I fail to make regular car payments, the bank may repossess my car. The ancient equivalent was one or more curses. In 46:26 and Exodus 1:5, sons are said to come from a father's "thigh" (although the NRSV does not so translate the Hebrew), so "thigh" is the male genital organ. Children were seen as being a gift from God. If Abraham's servant fails to keep the pact, he will be cursed with childlessness, and thus separated (to a degree) from God. [ NJBC]
Verse 3: "swear by ... the God of heaven and earth": The Hebrew is the God of heaven and the God of earth. Thus there are two witnesses, as required for an ancient covenant. [ NJBC]
Verse 3: "you will not get a wife ...": Note the fear of corruption by Canaanite culture. See also Exodus 34:15-16 and Ezra 10. Deuteronomy 7:3-4 forbids Israelites to marry Canaanites. [ NOAB]
Verse 7: "who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth": 12:1 says: " Now the Lord said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you." [ NJBC]
Verse 7: "To your offspring I will give this land": This is a quotation from 12:7. [ FoxMoses]
Verse 7: "his angel": As in the appearance to Hagar in 16:7, the angel is probably God. See also 21:17, 19; Exodus 14:19 (crossing the Reed Sea). [ NOAB]
Verse 10: "camels": It appears that the story changed to reflect a later form of transportation, for it seems that Israel first encountered camels in the Midianite raids of about 1200-1000 BC. [ NJBC]
Verse 10: "Aram-naharaim": Literally Aram of the Two Rivers , namely the Tigris and Euphrates. Aram was at the head-waters of these rivers, in north-west Mesopotamia. It is also called Haran and Paddam-aram. [ FoxMoses]
Verse 11: Jacob and Rachel meet under similar circumstances: see 29:1-14. See also Exodus 2:15-22 (Ruel gives Zipporah to Moses in marriage after they meet at a well). [ NJBC]
Verse 12: "steadfast love": The Hebrew word, hesed, signifies loyalty arising from a relationship between a strong person and a weaker, where the stronger shows the weaker favour or helps him or her. When applied to God's relationship with humans, it involves benevolent action, loyalty in deeds, and gracious (loving) favour. [ NOAB]
Verse 15: Rebekah's ancestry is given more clearly in 22:20-23: Nahor is Abraham's brother; Bethuel is Nahor's son; Rebekah is Bethuel's daughter. [ NOAB] But 29:5, a verse also attributed to this tradition, says that Laban is Nahor's son. This would make Rebekah and Isaac cousins. [ JBC] The former relationship is more likely: Abraham was childless until his old age, so a generation was skipped.
Verse 26: Only when Rebekah has agreed to provide lodging is the head servant sure that Yahweh has granted him success. [ NJBC]
Verses 34-49: The head servant diplomatically omits Abraham's insistence that Isaac not return to Haran. [ FoxMoses]
Verse 41: "oath": Literally oath-curse. Written from the servant's viewpoint. [ FoxMoses]
Verse 49: "so that I may turn either to the right hand or to the left": If Laban (and Bethuel) do not wish to enter into a covenant with Abraham, the head servant will be free from his oath. [ NJBC]
Verse 50: "Laban and Bethuel answered": NJBC says that "and Bethuel" is generally considered by scholars to be a later addition to the text (either due to editing or errant copying) because Rebekah's brother Laban is the one who gives consent. The legal arrangements are in accord with Hurrian practice, as found in documents from the 1400s BC found at Nuzi (now in northeastern Iraq). Note also "her mother's household" in v. 28; if Bethuel is alive, one would expect her father's household .
Comments: It seems that the family worships Abraham's God (v. 50), although they also have household gods:
31:19 tells is that "... Rachel stole her father's household gods."; in 31:30 Laban asks Jacob: "why did you steal my gods?". [ FoxMoses]
Verse 55: "Let the girl remain with us a while ...": Scholars offer two other translations: a few days, perhaps ten and a year or ten months. Delaying tactics are also found in stories about Laban: see 29:27 (his delay in giving Jacob the hand of Rachel in marriage); 30:25-28 (Laban delays Jacob's return home after Joseph is born) and 31:26-30. [ NJBC]
Verse 59: "her nurse": Genesis never tells us of the death of Rebekah, but when Isaac dies, so does the nurse. Perhaps Rebekah dies at the same time. [ FoxMoses]
Verse 60: "gain possession of the gates ...": See 22:17 for this blessing on Abraham. [ FoxMoses]
Verse 62: "Beer-lahai-roi": 16:14 tells us how this place acquired its name and it is "between Kadesh and Bered", in the southern Negev desert. There Sarai identifies "the angel" with God. [ NJBC] [ FoxMoses]
Verse 65: "my master": Abraham's death is recorded in 25:8.
Psalm 45:10-17
Superscription: "Of the Korahites": The Korahites were the Levitical group responsible for singing in the Temple: see 2 Chronicles 20:19. They are also mentioned in the superscriptions of Psalms 42; 44; 46-49; 84; 85; 87-88. [ CAB]
This psalm is extremely old. Some of the Hebrew is obscure. [ NJBC]
Verse 6: "Your throne, O God": The king seems to be addressed as God. Kings were seen as divine in other nations in the ancient Near East. This is the only possible occurrence of this notion in the Bible. This verse is quoted in Hebrews 1:8. [ NOAB]
Verse 6: "God": The Hebrew word is elohim, which usually means God but can mean superhuman being. In 2 Samuel 7:14ff, David is compared to a messenger of elohim; Zechariah 12:8 compares David's "house" to elohim. Members of the heavenly court were called sons of elohim. Elohim connotes a realm of being higher than that of an ordinary mortal. Because the king was anointed and had a special relationship with Yahweh, he was considered a sacral being, something divine. Some have attempted to translate the phrase as your throne is a divine one. [ JBC]
Verse 7: "God, your God": JBC considers that before this psalm was northernized, this read Yahweh, your God.
Verse 8: "ivory palaces": 1 Kings 22:39 speaks of the "house" King Ahab built as being an "ivory house"; Amos 3:15, in predicting the downfall of the king, says "the houses of ivory shall perish". [ NOAB]
Verse 9: "Ophir": 1 Kings 10:11 speaks of "gold" and "almug wood and precious stones" from Ophir being gifts from the queen of Sheba to Solomon. [ JBC]
Verse 10: "daughter": It seems that the scribe is sufficiently distinguished that he can call the bride "daughter". [ JBC]
Verse 12: The bride may be from Tyre (see also v. 10), or (the Hebrew being obscure), a gift to her may be Tyrian linen. [ NJBC]
Song of Solomon 2:8-13
The man is identified as a "shepherd" in 1:7 and as a "king" in 1:4, 12. [ NOAB]
1:14: The vineyards are at "En-gedi", an oasis on the western side of the Dead Sea (where archeologists have found the remains of an ancient perfume factory); however, this may be part of a different poem. [ NOAB]
2:9: NJBC notes that the word translated "gazelle" is saba'ot , which is also the word for [Lord of] hosts.
2:10-13: NJBC says that the bridegroom's invitation to the bride includes celebration of the changes she has made in him, which is compared to the change in the seasons.
2:14: "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the cliff": REB translates the Hebrew as My dove, that hides in holes in the cliffs or in crannies on the terraced hillside. "Cleft" and "covert" are sexual symbols, as are the muzzles of the foxes (in v. 15). [ NJBC]
Romans 7:15-25a
Verses 1-6: An analogy from marriage. [ NOAB]
Verse 1: "Do you not know": A frequent phrase in Paul's writings, usually indicating something his readers already know well. He also uses it, for example, in 6:3; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:2; 9:24.
Verse 1: "the law": Mosaic law is meant generally, but also specifically: Numbers 5:20, 24; 30:10-14 deal with marriage. See also Proverbs 6:29. [ NOAB] [ NJBC]
Verse 3: "adulteress": A wife was the property of her husband; infidelity was considered to be adultery. See Exodus 20:17 (on of the Ten Commandments). Other ordinances are found in 21:3, 22; Leviticus 20:10. [ NJBC]
Verses 4-6: The "law" here is Mosaic law, as it is in 2:12-37; 3:19-21, 28-31; 4:13-16; however, Paul uses the word with a different meaning later. [ NOAB] See Clipping on v. 21.
Verse 4: A wife was no longer considered married when her husband had died, and was free to marry another man, so in the same way having died to Mosaic law, Christians are free to belong to Christ. [ NJBC]
Verse 4: "bear fruit for God": Marriage was expected to "bear fruit" in terms of progeny; the union of Christ and the Christian is also like this. [ NJBC]
Verse 5: "in the flesh": NJBC offers a helpful translation (interpretation): merely natural lives .
Verse 5: "our sinful passions, aroused by the law": In 5:20, Paul writes: "But law came in, with the result that the trespass multiplied; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more". See also 7:13 and Galatians 2:19. [ CAB]
Verse 6: In 10:4, Paul says "For Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes". See also Galatians 3:23-26 and 2 Corinthians 3:6. [ CAB]
Verse 6: "that which held us captive": i.e. Mosaic law. [ NOAB]
Verse 6: "the new life of the Spirit": A reference to baptism. In 6:3-4, Paul writes: "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life". [ JBC]
Verses 7-23: A view of Mosaic law and sin as seen through Christian eyes. [ NOAB]
Verse 7: As in 3:1-20, Paul anticipates questions which might come from his readers. and then proceeds to answer them. This form of rhetoric, developed in Greek philosophical debate, was called diatribe. See also 3:5; 4:1; 6:1; 9:14, 30. [ CAB]
Verse 7: "the law": i.e. Mosaic law. [ NJBC]
Verse 7: "I would not have known sin": I has been variously interpreted as Paul (before and after his conversion), Adam, adherents to Judaism, humans in general, or a Jewish boy before his coming of age (Bar mitzvah). The most likely interpretation is that he means one, as he does in 1 Corinthians 8:13; 13:1-3, 11-12; 14:6-19; Romans 14:21; Galatians 2:18-21. This is a rhetorical device also found in psalms of thanksgiving. To Paul, sin is something historical and corporate. See also 3:20; 5:13; 7:8. [ NOAB] [ NJBC]
Verse 7: "You shall not covet": All of the commandments can be seen as being about coveting. This particular commandment is found in Exodus 20:17 and Deuteronomy 5:21. [ CAB]
Verse 8: "Apart from the law sin lies dead": NJBC offers without the law, sin was life-less. It was like a corpse, unable to do anything; it could not make evil into an identifiable revolt against God: see also 4:15; 5:13.
Verse 9: "sin revived": BlkRom offers sprang to life.
Verse 10: Leviticus 18:5 says "You shall keep my statutes and my ordinances; by doing so one shall live: I am the Lord". Only by keeping the Law at all times could one live, but doing so was impossible. [ NOAB] See also Deuteronomy 4:1 (before entering the Promised Land); Deuteronomy 6:24; Galatians 3:12; Romans 10:5. [ JBC]
Verse 11: The Law itself is of God, but it makes one aware of sin (see Galatians 3:19) and also causes one to sin, e.g. by coveting.
Verse 13: A summary of vv. 7-13. [ CAB]
Verse 14: "spiritual": i.e. of divine origin. [ CAB]
Verse 14: "of the flesh": i.e. focussed on worldly desires. [ CAB]
Verse 15: God's peace comes only as a gift (see 5:1-11 and 8:3). Paul says: I want his peace, but I find myself separated from God. [ CAB]
Verse 16: The Qumran sect also recognized this conflict within humans. They explained it by postulating that God had place two spirits in humans: a spirit of truth and one of perversity. But Paul sees things differently: the division is within humans themselves.
Verse 17: It is possible to read this verse, in isolation, as saying that one is not responsible for one's evil deeds, but elsewhere Paul shows that he really does not mean this: see, for example, 1:31-2:5; 5:12, 14.
Verse 18: "in my flesh": NJBC offers in my natural self.
Verse 19: One wants a life of harmony with God. [ CAB]
Verse 21: "law": i.e. principle, pattern, precept, as in "law of faith" (in 3:27). [ NJBC] (The Greek word, nomos, is the origin of our word norm.)
Verses 24-25: We are threatened by complete defeat with evil permeating our lives, but in seeking God's mercy through Christ we find freedom from the guilt and power of sin. [ NOAB]
Matthew 11:16-19,25-30
Verse 2: "When John heard in prison": John the Baptist had been incarcerated for denouncing Herod Antipas for marrying his brother's wife. See 14:3-4.
Verses 4-5: Jesus takes Isaiah 29:18-19; 35:5-6; 61:1-2 as predictions of the activities of the Messiah, although the cleansing of lepers is not mentioned there. [ NOAB]
Verse 6: Jesus' statement of the Messiah's deeds are not what was popularly expected; he pronounces a blessing on those who adapt to seeing the Messiah in this new way.
Verse 10: The quotation is Malachi 3:1. In Exodus 23:20, as God reaffirms the promise that the Israelites will enter the Promised Land, he promises to send an "angel in front of you, to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared". [ NOAB] [ NJBC]
Verse 12: This verse is puzzling. A time of "violence" was expected to precede the coming of the Messiah. It is also true that the Romans had occupied Israel by force and that John the Baptist had been mistreated. [ NJBC]
Verse 13: i.e. all scripture (the Old Testament) points to the Messiah.
Verse 14: "he is Elijah who is to come": In Malachi 4:5, God says through the prophet: "... I will send you the prophet Elijah before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.". Jesus infers that this verse in Malachi is not to be taken literally. [ NOAB] [ NJBC]
Verse 18: John the Baptist was thought by many to be crazy. In Luke 7:33, Jesus says: "For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon'". [ NOAB]
Verse 19: Jesus is denounced as violating the traditions of Israel.
Verse 19: "by her deeds": The parallel in Luke ( 7:34-35) has "by all her children" rather than "by her deeds". Luke's version fits better with v. 16, so is probably the original. In Luke 16:16, Jesus says: "The law and the prophets were in effect until John came; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone tries to enter it by force".
Verses 20-24: In Luke 10:13-15, Jesus pronounces woe on Chorazin but not on Bethsaida and Capernaum. [ NJBC]
Verse 21: "Chorazin": Some 4 km north of Capernaum, on the Sea of Galilee. The ruins of a synagogue can be seen there today. [ NOAB]
Verse 21: "Bethsaida": Near the most northern point of the Sea of Galilee. [ NOAB]
Verse 21: "Tyre and Sidon": Phoenician cities on the Mediterranean coast, condemned in both Isaiah 23:1-18 and Ezekiel 26-28. [ NOAB] [ NJBC]
Verse 21: "sackcloth and ashes": Symbols of repentance. See also Genesis 37:34 (Jacob, at the loss of Joseph); 1 Kings 21:27 (Elijah tells of Yahweh's judgement on Ahab and Jezebel); Jonah 3:5-8 (the reaction of the people of Nineveh on hearing Jonah's prophecy).
Verse 23: "Capernaum": Jesus' own place of residence: see 4:13. Jesus alludes to Isaiah 14:13, 15. There, aspirations to divinity are dashed by being brought down to Sheol (the equivalent of "Hades"). [ NJBC]
Verse 24: "Sodom": The destruction of the city for its wickedness is described in Genesis 19:24-28. [ NJBC]
Verses 25-30: See also Luke 10:21-22. [ NOAB] [ NJBC]
Verses 25-27: "Father": The word occurs five times in three verses. Note the note of intimacy in v. 27: "my Father". [ NOAB] [ NJBC]
Verse 25: "revealed": Understanding spiritual realities involves God's disclosure. See also 11:25; Luke 24:16; 1 Corinthians 1:18-25; 2:6-16.
Verse 26: "gracious will": NJBC offers good pleasure.
Verse 27: For Jesus' special relationship with the Father that he could share with others, see also John 3:35 and 13:3. For Jesus as the exclusive revelation of the Father, see 28:18; John 3:35; 10:15; 13:3. [ NOAB] [ NJBC]
Verse 28: Jesus speaks as did Lady Wisdom (wisdom personified) in Proverbs 8. [ NJBC]
Verse 28: "rest": In Jeremiah 6:16, sabbath rest is a symbol of the Kingdom of God.

Low-Fat Diet
It's the original philosophy of weight loss. Does it still hold water?Top Rated Diet Shakes of 2017
One of the trusted trends in dieting for years has been the low-fat diet. Proponents standby claims that a reduction in saturated fat in one's diet provides a number of positive results including healthier heart, better cholesterol and blood pressure and reduced risk of many obesity-related illnesses.
Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2017?
- Will help you prevent heart disease.
- Often, low-fat diets are highly restricted in calories.
Low-fat dieters learn that there is a difference between healthy and unhealthy fats. Animal fats, found in dairy and red meat, are all contributors to poor heart health, body fat and high cholesterol. The fats found in plant products are monounsaturated fats and these can be consumed without hesitation and come packed with properties that reduce risk to certain diseases. That means when following a low-fat diet you can have all the nuts, avocados and olive oil you like.
There are also fats that are essential to your diet. These are Omega-3 and -6. Fish , leafy greens and soybeans are prime sources for these.
With a low-fat diet, you'll obviously strictly limit the amount of unhealthy fat you're eating and replace those with plenty of fresh produce, whole grains and lean proteins. Be sure to watch serving sizes because even in dieting there can be too much of a good thing.
There are simple ways to transform to a low-fat lifestyle. Remove fat from skinless poultry and other meats, use mustard in place of mayo on a sandwich, when you crave something crunchy grab carrots or apples instead of potato chips, top salads with home-made oil and vinegar, switch to skim milk and low-fat cheese, avoid fried food completely and instead grill or bake.
Be cautious of items advertising themselves as low-fat. To retain flavor and quality, many replace the fat with other calorie-increasing additives like sugar. These items really counter your dedicated efforts to losing weight.EXERCISE
Since this isn't a specific diet, you're on your own.CONCLUSION
Low-fat dieting is the original thought process behind modern weight loss solutions. You need to be extra cautious when shopping for low-fat products because of some of the tricky ways companies market otherwise unhealthy items that way. Otherwise, the approach promotes good health and weight loss.Common Misspellings

All things coerndesid, this is a first class post
This is a poor choice for anyone. Low fat has produced more obesity than anything. There is a reason why 30% of your calories should be from fat. Do some more research on your own. Do not fall into the myth that consuming fat is what makes you fat.
what the point..?? i didn't understand anything...haha u ppl are sooo USELESS!!! I ama just joking... but seriously it didn't work..!!
This is "low fat" not "no fat". yes you do need "good" fat to survive, but not the typical American loaded with unhealthy fat. The problem lies in the amount of calories we eat as well. I hate to tell ya but sometimes to lose weight you have to be hungry - deal with it or continue to have an unhealthy weight which WILL leave you sick in the long run.
Low-fat diets can be very unhealthy and leave me hungry constantly. We need (good) fats to survive, and low-fat diets will make you sick in the long run. Balance is needed in a food plan that will work for a healthier lifestyle.
this is a good wholesome approach to losing weight
this is the first time I've seen the real definition of a low-fat diet. it's not just about buying a bunch of low fat labeled food
i was satisfied of what i want to knopw about this topic.,thanx.

Nas Getting Ill Original Series on Xbox
Believe it or not, famed rapper Nas is in negotiations to develop an original series with Xbox Entertainment Studios, which will be based on his life growing up in the rap game in the '90s.
According to Deadline, the series, dubbed 'Street Dreams,' is being put together by Jamie Patricof and Lynette Howell's Electric City Entertainment, which previously produced 'The Place Beyond the Pines.' Set in Long Island's Queensbridge neighborhood, 'Street Dreams' will examine the life and times of family and rap music in the 1990s. The half-hour series is being written and directed by Jonathan Levine ('The Wackness'), who has some experience telling tales about New York City in the 90s. As for Nas' involvement, the man behind 'Illmatic' will be writing a composing the music for 'Street Dreams.'
There's no telling just how autobiographical 'Street Dreams' will be, but there will undoubtedly be some strong influence from Nas in the overall narrative. Along with 'Street Dreams,' Xbox Entertainment Studios is working on a live-action 'Halo' series with Steven Spielberg and Neil Blomkamp. Few other shows have been confirmed for production, but there will be some original documentaries developed exclusively for Xbox consoles, too.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Nas' seminal album, 'Illmatic.' To commemorate the landmark, Nas will hold a concert at the Kennedy Center as part of the One Mic: Hip-Hop Culture Worldwide celebration. We're glad to see such diverse programming is in store for the Xbox consoles, and can only hope that the series will find an audience and some success in such limited release.

Does this sound like your topic?

Does the same S corporation shareholder agreement have to be used for all shareholders? If not, can the shareholders agreement stipulate that the stock can only be sold or transfered to existing shareholders?
My colleague is right in terms of what "should" be the case (all shareholders get the same agreement). However, you raise an interesting theoretical question. It is very common for some shareholders (major shareholders, VC's, officers and directors) to be party to a shareholders agreement, while minority shareholders are not. But I have never had a client with 2 different shareholder agreements. However, I don't see why you couldn't, depending on who the parties are.See question
Is it possible for a S corporation to issue a fractional share of stock in the form of a stock certificate?
Unless your Articles or Bylaws say otherwise, you can issue fractional shares.See question
I just learned that incorporating in the state of Delaware has many advantages including the advantage of not being required to pay corporate income tax. So for example, I want to start a NY consulting business, isn't it better for me to incorpor...
Some states without an income tax, instead have a franchise tax. For your purposes, either way, its a tax. Delaware's franchise tax can be quite large, depending on your capital structure, and then on top of that you will have an income/franchise tax in the state(s) in which you do business.See question
The corporation only has two owners of stock. The stock is divided 50/50. Do both owners have to be listed as either director or officer in the Statement of Information filed with the state?
No, in fact neither owner has to be listed on the Statement of Information simply by virtue of the fact that they are owners. Officers and directors, who may or may not be owners, are listed.See question
President does not allow shareholders to look at books and has not changed any other waste producing prectices within firm.
Yes. Your positioni as a shareholder (while entitling you to certain rights, as outlined by colleagues) is completely separate from your role as an employee.See question
that is it
You have stumbled onto one of the huge disadvantages of a 50/50 owned corporation. You might try hiring a mediator to help resolve the deadlock. Otherwise, your only option is to go to court and ask the court to break the deadlock (probably after court ordered mediation). By the way, this may have been preventable with a shareholders agreement.See question
Or you can change the DBA and keep the same corporation
Yes, you can. There are no limits on the number of corporations that can share the same address. However, it may prove confusing, and if you were ever to get into a situation where you are trying to defend your corporate shield, it may work to your disadvantage.See question
Unfortunately, one of the downsides to using a corporation is that a corporation cannot represent itself in court. I wonder, and maybe some of my colleagues can chime in on this, if there is a way to work around this with language in your form lease agreement, such as an assignment of the lease to you individually for the purpose of legal proceedings.See question
I'm trying to register a domain name, but my name includes "inc" in the title. I don't want to register the name then find out I can't use it or my company name due to legal issues.
"Company" can often be used by sole proprietorships, and corporations, but check with your home state. Alternatives are to leave the identifier out of the domain name, or register the domain name with and without the identifier, then "redirect" one to the other when you have it figured out. You might consider forming your corporation now, it sounds like you are closer than you think.See question
Brought foreign (out of state) corporation to TX (commercial moving company that moves people across the country); maintained out of state filings and in good status there; am now wanting to transfer corp. to TX without paying penalties for time I...
I agree with my colleague in that you need to involve both the litigation attorney, and local Texas corporate counsel. When moving a corporation from one state to another, I usually form a new corporation in the new state, and then do a merger of the old corp into the new corp. This maintains continuity of the corporate entity (rather than sever the old and start the new one from scratch), and may be a way to work around the penalties you describe. I don't know enough facts to actually advise you, and as my disclaimer states, this is not legal advice, but that is an option to consider with your legal counsel.See question

Mouse input on X-windows
I wanted to update the readers of this forum on a question that I
had posed last week regarding mouse input to Mathematica.
I had asked whether there was a way to get the position of the mouse
when it was put inside a 2-D X-windows graphics plot made by Mathematica.
The response that I've gotten has been overwhelming. About fifty of you
are apparently also interested in finding the answer to this question.
Unfortunately, no one appears to have any ideas on how to go about doing
this. My lab has contacted the people at Wolfram and they have told
us that "it would be nice if we had a way to do this, so why don't
you go ahead and do it and let us know." So I gather that it's some
kind of major problem for them.
It seems to me that the issue of mouse I/O is significant enough
to get these people to pay some attention to it.
By the way, MatLab has this feature built in.

How to Survive and Thrive in the Bariatric After Life
Kirsty at RealSelf on 14 Nov 2010 at 9:07am
Cari is a post-op weight loss surgery (WLS) success and creator of the Bariatric After life blog, a site focused on getting the most out of your new chance at life.
Cari knows what it feels like to be obese, to not be seen or heard because of your weight, to be ridiculed, stared and laughed at and to find yourself in a vicious circle of food and depression. After many years of this cycle, Cari decided that she wanted her life back and that weight loss surgery was the way forward for her…
Cari was always a self-confessed big girl. Born weighing 11lbs 6oz, she spent her younger years feeling out of place among her friends and remembers thinking that she "went through life with a really fat head."
Although never obese as a child, Cari was what she calls "chunky." She was very active: Riding her bike, roller skating and running around after school; however, she was never good at organized sports. Cari notes that she felt like a failure at school because she couldn't keep up with the fitness program. This put her off exercise as she always associated it with never being good enough.
Cari's mother ensured she was fed a healthy diet, with good portion sizes and plenty of fruits and vegetables. This gave her a good start in life, but Cari had already begun to associate exercise with feelings of failure and disappointment. As she grew older and entered high school, these feelings combined with the freedom of choosing her own food and eating whatever she wanted, resulting in weight gain.
The situation then worsened as Cari had decided that since she was bigger than most of her friends and already felt as though she didn't fit in, there was no reason to stop eating and gaining weight. These feelings grew and continued throughout Cari's adult life and impacted on all of the special moments she should have been relishing.
Cari's stats before surgery looked like this:
- Starting high school: 143 lbs
- Graduating high school: 165 lbs
- Marriage: 189 lbs
- Having first child: 204 lbs
- Considering WLS: 316 lbs
At this point Cari realized that she was no longer "just a little chunky" or overweight; she was now officially and medically obese! Not only was she obese, she was depressed, had no willpower and didn't think she had any control over her situation.
Cari finally went to her doctor in 2006 and asked to be referred for WLS. She was refused. Her doctor advised her that she would not refer Cari because she was depressed. She was prescribed medication, which did help. Cari started eating properly, exercising and felt as though she was finally making the correct choices in her life. After 6 months she returned to her doctor as was granted a referral for WLS. She was approved the first time and in December 2007 had gastric bypass surgery.
In the 12 months after WLS, Cari was suffering with various ailments such as: Acid reflux, anastomotic stricture, and had several trips to the ER. However, she is now feeling great about her surgery. She has lost in total 160 lbs and stays at approximately 155-160 lbs.
Cari is now a firm believer that WLS can give you back your life if you want it enough. She says, "if you want bariatric surgery, go for it. As long as you're going to change absolutely everything about your life, as long as you're willing to be committed forever."
There are 3 things that Cari attributes to making WLS a success:
- Watch what you eat. Your pouch will restrict your diet but there are ways of getting around that. You have to eat the right foods all of the time.
- Workout regularly. Eating right can only do so much. You have to help your body. Go for walks, ride a bike, go to the gym or swimming. Do anything, but stay active.
- Have regular support. Join a WLS support group. You have no idea how much support you're going to need.
If you have any questions for Cari you can ask them on her gastric bypass review.

Two-year-olds of both sexes take center stage on Sunday in a pair of grade III races that are part of closing day at Arlington Park this season. The $200,000 Arlington-Washington Breeders' Cup Futurity (gr. III) for the boys and the $150,000 Arlington-Washington Breeders' Cup Lassie (gr. III) for fillies tops the meet's final card. Each of the one-mile races carries $50,000 in purse money from the Breeders' Cup Fund for horses nominated to the Breeders' Cup program.Stakes winners Red Raymond and Sorcerer's Stone and undefeated Charley Tango are prominent among the 10 colts and geldings slated to run in the Futurity, which goes as race nine on the 10-race card.Red Raymond, who races in the colors of Thomas W. Franks and is trained by Bob Holthus, comes to Arlington off a 1 ¼-length win in the $75,000 James C. Ellis Juvenile at Ellis Park in his last start. The son of Deputy Commander has won two of three in his short career and will be ridden Sunday by John McKee, who was aboard for both of his victories.Gaines-Gentry Thoroughbreds' Sorcerer's Stone captured Arlington's only previous stakes race this season for the juvenile set, the Honest Pleasure Stakes on July 31, to remain undefeated in two trips to the post. Mark Guidry gets a return call to ride the Patrick Byrne-trained son of Gulch, who broke his maiden at Churchill Downs on July 3. Stonerside Stable LLC's Charley Tango has been impressive in his two starts at the current Arlington meeting. On July 14 the Maria's Mon colt broke his maiden, drawing off for a three-length score at the one-mile Futurity distance. Turning back to seven furlongs for his next start, the Mike Stidham-trained colt stalked the pace before drawing away to win by 3 ¾ lengths. Jesse Campbell has the mount.Emerald Green Acres' Lizzy's Township (Craig Perret) and Naveed Chowhan's More Than Pretty (Jesus Castanon), the one-two finishers in the $85,000 Mountaineer Park Juvenile Fillies on Aug. 14, are among the favorites for the Lassie, which drew a wide open field of 11.Another who will garner support is Kristine & John Richter's Jazzy Okie (John McKee), an Oklahoma-bred winner over males in the $60,000 Iowa Stallion Stakes Futurity at Prairie Meadows on August 13.

This past Friday I drove down to Columbus (I live in Ohio, not Georgia) to kick it with my brother for a few hours, then headed to my friend's house to throw down some old school good times. We bounced from NES, to Wii to SNES, to Sega, and onto Playstation 2 before we were both red-eyed and falling asleep at the w(ii)heel. That, added to the current hype of Next-Gen consoles on the way, It raised a question for me. Are Next-Gen games killing old school nostalgia games?
I remember watching my brother play Contra and the Legend of Zelda on NES way back when I was a little kid. I'd have fun playing those games but my focus was always on beating Ninja Turtles or working through Battletoads(I didn't know then that it was a blatant ripoff), throwing down on some Bump n' Jump. I remember going to a friends house and tearing stuff up on their NES, or when SNES came out trolling through Super Mario or playing Mortal Kombat for hours on end until a parent would burst through the door screaming at us for ignoring the call to go eat dinner.
So as Friday wore on, and we'd jump from game to game, I'd flash back to the different moments where Super Mario bro's 3 first released and I played the crap out of it. Or when Karate Kid was released and I'd run around wrecking shop. Those games were great, were classics, but every time a new console would come out, I'd be all about going to Toys R us to play the demo version of whatever new game had just came out, drooling at the graphics or better game play available. With every new generation of gaming, it made it that much harder to go back to Battletoads.
As I grew older, and games got better, I got to the point where I stopped looking back. Sega Genesis came out and I played the crap out of Sonic, Bloody Roar, Tekken, and various other games until Nintendo 64 came out. I'd throw down hard on Mario until Playstation came out. Then it was time for Abes Exodous, Crash team Racing, and most importantly Tony Hawk.
Then with the Debut of Ps2; Shadow of Colossus, Grand Theft auto III, The Amazing God of War and Devil May Cry games, All made it that much harder to go back to the consoles before them. The graphics were sharper, the game play more solid and easier to navigate without getting frustrated. Which, in turn, made those games all the more fun to play.
The New Hotness
There's just something about the current Gen games that I love so much. I'll play the hell out of some Battlefield 3, any Assassins Creed or Uncharted Game, some G.O.W., or whatever but my current favorite is DMC. The graphics are sharp, the combos are fun and challenging to pull off, Searching for lost souls and keys(I normally hate trolling) is a blast for me. With every new iteration of a console, the gaming gets better after that initial trial of launch titles(That usually suck balls). They keep me playing video games because they're new, exciting, better, sharper, faster, and to me, so much more fun to spend a few hours a day with.
As I sat at my friends house, crouching to destroy a mouser as it approached my 1989 version of Michelangelo, I kept getting frustrated at how choppy the graphics were, how slow the reaction time was, and how clunky the over all game play was. But during it's time, I had nothing to compare it to and played that game for hours. Now that we're in an era of 1080i output, can we ever go back and legitimately enjoy those games, as we play it?
I'll definitely say that I enjoyed the trip down memory lane. It was fun to pop in the games of yesteryear, throw down some classic skill sets and remember the tricks and tactics that got me through the first time around. But for my own part, I'm pretty happy with the games I have on my Ps3, and unless it's a throwback night with a friend of mine, I'll probably stay there.
What about you? Have current Gen Games made you appreciate/unappreciate your classics? Do you look forward to the Technology coming down the line? Let me know!
Game on!(On whatever Generation of console)

Smart meter specialists worldwide are eyeing a potentially lucrative opportunity in Japan following the recent adoption of international standards by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), according to a report from Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper.
TEPCO had previously planned to introduce smart meters based on its own specifications, but critics said this would favor group companies and drive up prices.
In July, the utility backed down and announced it would adopt international standards for smart meter specifications, following consultation with a number of companies.
The decision will make it much easier for foreign organisations to enter the Japanese smart meter market.
Japan's government wants about 80% of nationwide electricity consumption to be covered with smart meters by 2017.
TEPCO serves about 27 million households in Japan and intends to replace old-style electricity meters with smart meters in all these premises between 2014 and 2023.
With other utility companies announcing similar schemes, analysts reckon a total of 70 million meters will eventually be replaced with smart meters in Japan.
Set to invite smart meter bids next fiscal year, TEPCO had originally estimated that the bidding price per smart meter would be about 30,000 yen ($380). It later revised this figure to 12,000 yen and now reckons it could be as little as 10,000 yen following the adoption of international standards.
That would limit the cost of replacing meters at TEPCO homes to about 200 billion yen.
According to Yomiuri Shimbun, Itron (Spokane, USA) and Enel (Rome, Italy) are just two of the international firms likely to submit bids to TEPCO next year.
So far, only four companies have ever sold electric power meters to TEPCO, and all are Japanese—Osaki Electric Company, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Tokyo), Toshiba Toko Meter Systems Company (Tokyo) and GE Fuji Meter Company (Tokyo).

Reduce Energy CostsThe best way to cut energy costs is through proper maintenance and use of the compressed air system. Leaks and dirty filters require maintenance on a regular basis. Energy savings can also be realized when replacing outdated motors and controls with high efficiency models that often pay for themselves in a short period of time. The most important factor to dramatically boost efficiency is to use proper compressed air products. The Super Air Knife uses only 1/3 of the compressed air of typical blowoffs used in cleaning, cooling and drying operations and can be instantly cycled on and off.
Reduce Noise LevelsHigh noise levels are a common problem for many plants. Compressed air noise often exceeds OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) noise level exposure requirements, resulting in hearing loss to those working in close proximity. The sound level of the Super Air Knife is quiet at 69 dBA, even at high pressures of 80 PSIG (5.5 BAR). Using the Super Air Knife, it is possible to obtain hard-hitting force without the high noise.
Open Air Pipe or Copper TubeTurbulent compressed air blasts straight out of the pipe or tube. It not only wastes huge amounts of compressed air but also violates OSHA noise and dead ended pressure requirements.
Replacement For Expensive, Noisy BlowersEnergy conscious plants might think a blower to be a better choice due to its slightly lower electrical consumption compared to a compressor. In reality, a blower is an expensive capital expenditure that requires frequent downtime and costly maintenance of bearings, belts and filters. Here are some important facts:
Filters must be replaced every one to three months.
Belts must be replaced every three to six months.
Blower bearings wear out quickly due to the motor that must turn at 17,000-20,000 RPM in order to generate effective airflows.
Poorly designed seals that allow dirt and moisture infiltration along with environments above 125°F (52°C) decrease bearing life.
Typical bearing replacement is at least once a year at a cost near $1000.
Many bearings can not be replaced in the field, resulting in downtime to send the assembly back to the manufacturer.
Many blowers generate heat making conditions uncomfortable and difficult to use for cooling applications.
Blowers take up a lot of space and often produce sound levels that exceed OSHA noise level exposure requirements. Air volume and velocity are often difficult to control since mechanical adjustments are required.

WASHINGTON -- If President Obama and congressional leaders can't agree on a new debt-ceiling plan, the Treasury Department can solve the problem unilaterally by minting two new coins ... each worth $1 trillion, according to Yale law professor Jack M. Balkin.
The U.S. could then deposit the coins in the Federal Reserve and write checks on the value created, Balkin said.
Balkin floated this so-called platinum coin option in an essay published by CNN.com on July 28. He credited the idea to unnamed commentators. | SEE STORY
The platinum coin option depends on four basic facts. One, the President lacks constitutional authority to borrow money on his own. Second, seigniorage, a legal principle, enables the government to artificially create financial value in any amount, simply by printing new bills or minting new coins. Third, current federal statutes impose a limit on the total value of banknotes (paper bills) that can be printed and circulated at any one time. Fourth, despite these limits, the executive branch nevertheless has unlimited power to mint coins.
While clever, the platinum coin option amounts to a variation on the classic ploy of printing money without real-world value to back it up -- a practice that many traditional economists say eventually results in inflation.
In the past two weeks, the "platinum coin option" has received many lighthearted mentions in serious forums.
ABC News' "This Week" telecast on July 31 included a panel discussion with Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, who said the option appeared legal. He also called it "ridiculous," adding: "But the whole debate [over the debt ceiling] is ridiculous, right?"
The platinum coin option has also been highlighted by numerous leading political websites and by a blogger for the respected British political magazine, The Economist.

Jawi writing was very important in the Islamic Education system in the Malay Peninsular before the colonial period. The use of Jawi indeed was widespread during the period of the Malacca Sultanate. It was used as the tool for the transmission of knowledge, missionary work and written communication. The importance of Jawi in the Malay society then was amplified when it was also used in the administration of the Sultanate. However, the use of Jawi has not been emphasized in the post colonial period by the Ministry of Education; it is not fully used even in the Islamic Education subject. Indeed, Jawi has been sparingly used by the Islamic Education teachers in both the primary and secondary schools. Hence, there is a lack of interest among Muslim pupils to learn Jawi, and consequently many of them today are unable to read and write in Jawi. Interestingly, the use of Jawi has been reviewed recently by the Malaysian government. This review has been positive towards Jawi leading to several significant actions being taken to keep alive the use of Jawi. One of the most important measures taken was the introduction of the j-QAF programme. It is based on the Malaysian Prime Minister's initiative which stressed the importance of Jawi in the teaching of Islamic religious subjects. In this paper, a study was carried out to identify the Islamic Education teachers' perception of the Jawi Model in the j-QAF programme, their perception towards pupils' interest in the Jawi Remedial Classes, and their level of satisfaction towards the level of support to run this programme. A set of questionnaire was used to collect the data. The research findings were further discussed in the paper.

Four-time champion Jeg Coughlin to return to drag racing
Jeg Coughlin returned from his last NHRA sabbatical to win consecutive Pro Stock titles, and he has similar expectations in coming back again in 2012.
"I feel fantastic," the four-time champion said after announcing his return Tuesday at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. "I haven't driven (in the Full Throttle Drag Racing Series) since December but I've done the Lucas Oil Series and bracket racing and made a lot of runs, so I'm confident that I can be as strong as I've been in my career."
Coughlin won his last two titles in 2007 and '08 with Cagnazzi Racing, for whom he drove for four years before sitting out this season. His latest venture is a partnership with engine builders Nick Ferri and Roy Simmons in a self-run operation based out of Mooresville, N.C.
It marks a return to dual roles for Coughlin, 41, who competed as a driver/owner from 1998 to 2004 (winning titles in 2000 and '02) before driving for Don Schumacher Racing and then Cagnazzi after a break in 2006. Successful as that was racing for them, he desired full quality control for his next phase.
It will mean a switch from a Chevy Cobalt to a Dodge Avenger, with sponsorship from Mopar along with his family's Jegs Mail Order auto parts business. JNR Racing Engines and Chrysler Technology Center are collaborating on his 500 cubic-inch HEMI engines, though JNR will build GM power plants as well.
"We've started a new program from virtually the ground up," said Coughlin, who also won Pro Stock titles in 2000 and '02 along with a Super Gas championship.
"It was a unique opportunity. Everything is brand new. We've got some fresh life, some fresh folks and we're ready to race. I couldn't be more excited."

I liked it a lot because it is 18 holes, free to play, a good mix of holes and terrain, and pretty easy to navigate the course without getting lost. I would definitely recommend playing this course if you are around the cities.

5 2007 Diesel Cars
In North America, diesel sales in 2006 and 2007 have been suppressed by lower gasoline prices and more stringent emission standards. As a result, there is a limited pool of diesel vehicles for sale in the U.S., none of which appear on this list. On the positive side, with North American diesel matching Europe's ultra-low sulfur standards, continued advancements in emission technologies, and the growing interest in biodiesel, the U.S. may be heading for a diesel evolution.
1- Volvo V70Historically, Volvo has relied on other automakers to provide diesel propulsion, which is surprising considering the company's reputation as a premier manufacturer of transport trucks. Volvo didn't produce its first diesel engine, the D5, until 2001. The engine has been welcomed into most of Volvo's European family, including the S60, V50, S80, and V70.
The D5-equipped V70 can't hit 62 mph in 5.6 seconds like its gasoline-powered Turbo R brother, but it boasts a combined fuel economy of 41.5 mpg. Simply stated: A V70R might get you where you're going faster, but the V70 D5 will leave you with some spending money once you get there. Like most Volvos, the V70's safety features takes center stage with front and rear headrests that accompany the full array of occupant airbags as standard features.
Spend your diesel savings on: Since it's a Volvo, there's little need for an extended warranty. Get the satellite navigation system since you're destined to go on a lot of excursions in the V70.
2- Opel AstraThe Astra is a proud member of GM's family, and it has been sold throughout the world under various monikers. However, it wasn't until the 2008 model year that the Astra became available in the U.S. through Saturn dealers. The Astra is available as a hatchback with three or five doors and there's a station wagon model. Adding some diversity, the Astra lineup includes a choice of four diesel power plants that range from 89 horsepower to 148 horsepower. Using a high-tech, common-rail injection system called CDTi, Astra's collection of diesel engines enjoys a carbon dioxide emission level that is lower than Opel's gasoline engines, while producing equal performance. In Europe, the Astra sold roughly one diesel car for every three cars sold, making it the fourth hottest-selling diesel car in 2005.
Spend your diesel savings on: You'll probably want to trick out of your Astra, which means you'll want to opt for the sport switch. This feature allows you to enjoy greater throttle and steering
3- Trident IceniBased on diesel fuel's blue-collar reputation, the notion of a diesel-powered sports car may be an oxymoron. Audi recently entrusted their sports-car racing dynasty to the turbo-diesel R10 and won the 2006 24 Hour of Le Mans. With the sigma effectively killed, British sports car builder Trident is mating diesel technology with a street-legal high-performance car.
More on the Iceni and two more diesel deals…

The shares, which fell 37 1/2p today, have halved in the past six months after the fund management group rejected takeover overtures from its largest shareholder and rival fund manager, Hermes.
EFM was put on notice that management of the investment was being put out to tender back in May. Today, it revealed it had been beaten in the beauty parade by giant US fund manager Fidelity. Other unsuccessful bidders for the business included Lloyds TSB's Scottish Widows, Henderson Global, HBOS, Dresdner RCM and Standard Life.
EFM said it was disappointed by the outcome but would work closely with Fidelity towards a smooth handover of the investment trust by the end of this month. EIT represented a fifth of the £7.1bn total managed by EFM.

Quartz is the most common mineral on Earth. It is found in nearly every geological environment and is a component of almost every rock type. It makes up about 12% of the earth's crust, occurring in a wide variety of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. It is also the most varied in terms of variety and color. Quartz is a 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
Rutilated quartz is found in Australia, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Norway, Pakistan and the United States.
Rutile is a major ore of titanium, which is a metal used for high tech alloys. It often forms needle-like crystal inclusions inside quartz. This form of quartz is known as rutilated quartz and it looks like small bars of imbedded needles. Rutile is a 6 on the Mohs scale.
