I'd like a stand alone icon that resembles a pyramid/or triangle with the "PTS" incorporated into this icon. I'd also like the icon to radiate light or some sort of star burst off the top of the pyramid/triangle.
The use of a modern font for the company name which will sit separate from the icon.
Please design in full color, preferred colors are;
Deep Red (c21 m100 y99 k13)
Gray (c64 m56 y53 k29)

One stat especially subject to interpretation is the "Scoreability" index.
Ostensibly the scorebability stat measures how efficient your offense is. It is the number of yards your offense has to move the ball in order to score a point. However, to get the scoreability number, we divide the total number of yards of offense by the number of points scored by the team. What isn't transparent here? The number of points scored by special teams or by the defense gets factored into points scored. For teams that score frequently on special teams or defense, the "scoreability" number inflates how efficient a team's offense really is.
Look at the above chart of how the ACC performed in scoreability in 2008. The Tar Heels finished first in the ACC in scoreability, and turned in the 16th best scoreability number in the BCS over the past five years, and the seventh best number among BCS teams in 2008. Against BCS teams, however, North Carolina ranked 71st among all FBS teams in total offense. What is going on here?
North Carolina scored two touchdowns on punt returns and four touchdowns on interception returns in 2008. In 2006, UNC's worst year in scoreability out of the last five, they returned no interceptions for touchdowns, and on punt and kickoff returns – again, no house calls.
Intertwined the whole concept of efficient offense in terms of scoring, there is a premium on the ability of special teams and defenses to put points on the board when it comes to the scoreability index. The reverse would also be true in bendability, in terms of not allowing special teams or defensive scores.
Which is why we see above that out of the 10 best scoreability marks of the past five years, Virginia Tech owns four of them. It also points out something we should know but often act as if we don't – the scoreboard doesn't care how the points got there.
If you're looking for a place to help explain Maryland's surprising success a year ago, look no further than this stat. Maryland returned two punt returns for touchdowns last year, while also housing four interceptions. As a result, they turned in the second best scoreability number in the ACC last year, and the 8th best number recorded by an ACC team in the past five years.
In terms of "stats that matter," scoreability had the eighth highest correlation to winning of the 27 categories we studied, and if you exclude the differential stats (PPG differential, e.g.), it had the third-highest correlation to winning of the stats we looked at.

Smooth siding's look and finish date back to the 17th century.
Harsh New England winters forced early settlers to replace customary mud and twig walls with solid wood siding, called "clapboards".
They were laid in uniform three-inch exposure for weather-resistance and eye-pleasing appearance.
They were then sanded, sealed and painted. "Three inch to the weather" became the architectural tradition and an industry standard for the Colonies.

We have many nationalities studying in Newcastle and offer courses in Singapore.
The School actively seeks international partners with similar reputation and standing. Partners link directly to our expertise and core business activities in research and higher education.
Study programmes
We offer our own degree-level programmes and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) short courses. We also participate in the delivery of other institutes' programmes.
Degree-level programmes
Our own degree programmes delivered in Singapore
Newcastle University is in partnership with the Singapore Institute of Technology. We have a range of degree programmes taught by own staff at our Singapore Campus.
Our BEng (Hons) Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Engineering (as taught at Newcastle) is one of those programmes.
We demand exactly the same standards of English language competence as we would if those students were studying the same programme in Newcastle.
Partnership degree programmes delivered in association with other institutions
Currently we do not operate any of these. We have in the past, and other Schools at Newcastle currently do. We are actively involved with discussions about future possibilities and we welcome approaches from reputable organisations about these.
CPD short courses
We offer CPD courses for degree graduates or equivalent.
These are principally through our two industry-facing units, the Design Unit and NewRail.
Staff (Academic Support)
External research collaboration is very important to us. We host guest researchers here in Newcastle, and our staff visit other organisations.
Collaboration may arise from our involvement with major projects. Or, it may be more ad hoc and exploratory in nature. We welcome involvement either way.
To express interest, contact Peter Cumpson.
We seek to provide opportunities for students through taught courses, exchange and internships.
Taught courses
We are open to agreements with international universities.
We have just launched one with Kasetsart University, Thailand. We also have a research research association with them through NewRail.
Some students at Kasetsart University have the option to join us in Newcastle for their final year. Students on the four-year International Bachelor programme in Mechanical Engineering can take our Newcastle Bachelor Final Year (instead of their normal one). They can then progress to a taught Masters degree at Newcastle.
The School no longer enters into any programme-specific arrangements, except for postgraduate research students with institutions where we have established joint research links.
Newcastle University is a partner in a number of international student exchange agreements, including the EU Socrates/Erasmus programme.
Undergraduate exchange students (eg Science without Borders scheme, Brasil) need to follow one of our established programmes for practical operational reasons.
We welcome student interns providing that:
- they have made themselves aware of our research expertise and have established an area in which they are both keen and able to make a contribution
- they meet our requirements for English language competence (IELTS 6.5 or recognised equivalent)
- they are able to pay the required study fees as Occasional Students as well as meet their travel and living costs

Traces Motion Sickness Of Time Travel
Rachel Evans is back with another convincing transmission of exploratory ambient for the hypnagogic generation. An album with two extended jams full of spiralling synths and ghostly vocals.
Rachel Evans aka Motion Sickness Of Time Travel kicks off the newly minted A Guide To Saints label with two extended excursions, with the first clocking in at the twenty minute mark, and the second just over fifteen minutes. Both tracks showcase Evans' trademark style of intricately layered woozy synth explorations and vocal manipulations. "Traces" is the first in a series of "Cassette Diaries." As a press release explains, "Cassette Diaries is a series of momentary musics - recordings made in short periods of times - be that a day, a week or a little bit more." If you liked her last album on Spectrum Spools you will quite possibly be equally captivated by "Traces." Especially "Colour Changing Eyes" with its endlessly spiralling synth motive and the hauntingly warped vocal-loops that unfold into true stargazing bliss.

For backpackers that have traversed 2179 miles of the Appalachian Trail, one of the biggest conquests must be arriving at the trail sign for the Hundred Mile Wilderness corridor. While the 100 Mile Wilderness is not a "true" wilderness, the character of the land, the rugged terrain, the pristine lakes and ponds and the far reaching and unspoiled views encompass the emotional feelings of being isolated from the hustle and bustle of the civilized world.
This video was shot by Martin Rye and Phillip Werner (www.sectionhiker.com) with music by Terry Bond. Two out of three are members of the BackpackerTV. We are really happy to see them enjoying such a beautiful part of the AT
The Hundred-Mile Wilderness is the section of the Appalachian Trail running between Abol Bridge just south of Baxter State Parkand Monson, Maine, USA. It is generally considered the wildest section of the Appalachian Trail. This section of the A.T. is crossed by several logging roads and is maintained by the Maine Appalachian Trail Club. It consists of a small corridor of protected wilderness surrounded by large tracts of public and private land controlled by paper companies. An increasing amount of the adjoining lands are being protected by groups like the Appalachian Mountain Club and the Nature Conservancy.
In 2000, a series of new logging roads and a marked side-trail offered hikers re-supply and lodging opportunities between miles 55 and 65 heading northbound from Monson. This commercial refuge is not officially recognized by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and has been controversial since it became accessible.
Great video guys!!!

The bank has increased its interest rates on new and existing investment property loans and reduced the maximum LVR for new applicants
The competition watchdog has hinted it may further broaden its regulatory powers to look beyond Australia's big four banks
Correctly applied, market segmentation is about a company understanding the needs of its customers and therefore understanding how its customers decide between one product and another.
This insight is used to form groups of customers who share the same or very similar value criteria, which the company can use to determine how to best serve each group with its products and services and hence outperform the competition.
The primary objective of segmentation, therefore, is to understand how to win and retain customers. Segmentation and its corresponding product differentiation strategy can give a company a commercial advantage.
How segmentation manifests itself within a chosen market can vary dramatically, and as such opinions are divided on the segmentation strategies that lenders have chosen.
A model question
There are essentially two types of segmentation within this industry. Under the externally driven model, lenders advise their brokers which segment they fall into according to application volumes. This determines the products, level of service, remuneration and attention each broker will receive. Essentially the lender will announce to its brokers that they will provide such benefits as faster turnaround times, greater access to credit underwriters, and more frequent product support and training to those brokers who provide quality volume applications.
Under the internally driven model, segmentation is determined purely by the lender's internal operations and its strategies for its client base, but their message is that all brokers receive the same levels of service and attention, irrespective of volumes.
Although the external segmentation model is transparent, it does have a propensity to discourage or disengage brokers who are unable to meet some of the lender's conditions.
But if every business must win and retain customers in order to become and remain successful, why are we getting so hot under the collar about whether segmentation – either external or internal - is a good or a bad thing in our industry?
Choosing your service
Let's look at Qantas's Platinum Frequent Flyer program. Platinum customers have their own airport lounge, they get fed and watered and they don't have to queue at the boarding gate. Why? Because they are loyal to the Qantas brand. But those customers have a choice. They don't have to fly Qantas. They could choose to fly on multiple airlines instead and receive the same level of service as everyone else joining the queue at the boarding gate.
I don't believe that there is a right or a wrong model; just as with any other business, lenders must win and hold on to their brokers and how they choose to do that is up to them. But brokers also have a choice.
If you like the benefits that segmentation provides, you can choose it. If you don't, you're free to walk away.

My 91 GTI 8V, original owner stylz, yo!: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/pdxg...%20july%202013
Went out & did a rolling shot photoshoot
PS I need 2880x1800 for retina macbook
Yeah, it's an 8v. If I wanted a sporty car, I'd buy an R.
Sorry for the crappy pic, but got news that these badboys are done at the powdercoater. Hopefully picking them up this weekend, then it's time to play with adapters to get just the right setup. The four white ones are going on the car, the 2 red ones are actually done in a red very similar to what Porsche uses for their spares, and they will be the spares for my coupe and my MK3. All 6 are 16x8.
sorry but that's as big as it gets >
was pulling into my driveway and lost pretty much all but 3rd gear. popped the boot off and saw this
weird thing is, it drove fine all day. moved the linkage in the bay, felt really weird. im going to attempt an alignment on it, if that doesnt work then idk what to do other than swap the tranny
OK let me try this again... Snapped some pics of The Beast...
I know it's an 87, but it's MY 87.
bought a full trophy interior, and a usrt shift kit
Looked at her and got irritated
installed seat belts and other trim
Swapped out the oil pan for a new one and put in a windage tray, followed by an oil change (duh).
Quick question... why does Volkswagen hate the people who work on thier cars? Those two bolts nearest the tranny were a nightmare. At first I thought takin' 'em off was the hard part... I cross threaded twice before gettin' 'er to go. I got them almost to 15 ft/lbs before they started to round off. I hope that's tight enough. I'm gonna hate myself the next time I need to pull 'em off...
By the way I used a 1/4' socket with u adapter and 1/4 to 3/8 adapter but the socket was just a bit too long to fit in there. An all in one u socket or shorter bits would have been better. Next time I'll have allen bolts on hand to replace.
I know it's an 87, but it's MY 87.
rescued her from my wife...who tried to drown it on a flooded road in downtown PHX at 5am...sucked water up the intake and somehow managed to soak the ECM...not sure which one hates the other more...lol
Finished 10.1 vented front rotor swap. Got some brand new brembo rotors, calipers, carriers, spindles, and lines.
Anyone know how to rebuild front struts? I have an H&R sport cup kit on my Jetta and the fronts are both leaking. The passenger side still has enough in it where it feels right but the drivers lost alot. Anyway to rebuild this or refill it somehow? I talked to H&R about ordering new front struts and they said they would get back to me that day which was about a week ago and nothing yet. It would be pretty hard to find just the front struts for sale so rebuilding them is my first option.
If anyone does have some for sale, i have cash and would love to buy them.
Is USRT still in business? I found their website, but they haven't replied to my email. I was also wondering if they had a shop I could actually visit. I thought they were in NJ, thanks...and I haven't worked on the GTI since I snapped a piston ring
My girlfriend and I may have broken up after three years, but then again, I have the MK2<3
Sold it lol

Turkey Production Survey
Wild Turkey Production and Population Survey Results for 2012
The 2012 hunting season was the 34rd year of our annual turkey population survey. The continuing cooperation of turkey hunters has made the survey possible. Your assistance is vital to managing wild turkeys in Georgia. We greatly appreciate this partnership.
Turkey Production Index Survey
Historically, this survey was conducted from May through August from 1978 thru 1990. Beginning in 1991, the annual survey period was shortened to June through August. Field personnel of the Game Management, Law Enforcement, and Fisheries Management Sections of the Wildlife Resources Division are involved in data collection. All observations of turkey broods and hens, with and without poults, are reported.
During the summer of 2012, 303 broods were seen, which was down 27% from 415 in 2011. The average brood size of 7.4 poults observed in 2012 was 8% more than 2011 (6.9) and 5.6% less than the previous 5-years average (7.9). The statewide production index of poults per observer (13.53) was less than last year (16.4) and about the same as the 5-year average (13.6). The production index 'poults + hens' was 4022 in 2012, which was 9.2% lower than the 2011 index of 4428 and similar to the 5-year average of 4436. The average number of poults per hen was 1.26 in 2012 down 29.4% from 1.93 in 2011. This was also 23% lower than the previous 5-years average (1.6). The past several years of production data and harvest data indicate that reproductive levels around 2 poults per hen or slightly less have been able to maintain our current population level. A production index of1.26 poults/hen is not good. Statewide poult production decreased 30% from 2011 to 2012. Some of the state will not be impacted, but much of the state will notice the effect of lower production during the 2014 spring season.
Reproduction data suggests that turkey production was low in many parts of Georgia in 2012. The Blue Ridge area of the state experienced the most significant decreases. The poults/hen index was 0.65 which is a 69% increase from 2011. Poults/observer was down 65.6% with an average of 10.08 poults observed/observer. The Piedmont region also did poorly. The poult/hen index was 1.19, down 47.1% from 2011. The index of total poults + total hens (1435) also decreased by 13.5% and poults/observer (15.17) was down 33.5% from 2011. The Ridge and Valley region has seen good production in recent years, however, the poult/hen index was 1.37 in 2012, down 32.9% from 2011(2.02). The Ridge and Valley had a 43% decrease in the poults/observer index (24.1) and a 40.3% decrease in the total poults + total hens index (349). South Georgia faired a little better. The Upper Coastal Plain region experience a 15.6% increase in the poult/hen index (1.62), a 42.3% increase in the poults/observer index (14.1), and a 45.3% decrease in the total poults +total hens index (1325). Reproduction was still low, but stable in the Lower Coastal Plain. This region experienced a 2% decrease in poults/hen index (1.12), a 19.7% increase in poults/observer index (8.9), and little change in the total poults + total hens index (648). The early spring green up in 2011 should have set the stage for better reproduction. Unfortunately, the timing of spring rains in the north half of the state likely resulted in poor poult survival and lower nest success.
Hunting Population Index Survey
Usable hunt data was supplied by 479 cooperators (which is 6% above the 5-year average of 451). Of these, 437 came from the permanent cooperator list and 42 from the NWTF list which resulted in a reporting rate (after deleting wrong addresses, deceased, quit hunting, incorrect data collection, etc.) of 36.6% and 5.9% from the permanent and NWTF list cooperators, respectively.
These cooperators reported spending a total of 15,927.85 hours hunting (which is 3% below the 5-year average of 16,400.5). The average season hunter effort was 9.7 trips (which is 8% less than the 5-year average of 10.6) totaling 33.3 hours (which is 9% less than the 5-year average of 36.4). They reported observing 9,256 turkeys (which is 7% less than the 5-year average of 9,937) and hearing 8,282 gobblers (which is 6% more than the 5-year average of 7,822). The statewide population index of 1.7 was the same as last year (and the 5-year average of 1.7). The effort per gobbler heard of 1.9 was 14% better than last year (2.2 = 2011) and 10% better than the 5-year average of 2.1, which corresponds with the 18.8 hours/turkey harvested being 23% better than last year (24.3, 2011) and 21% better than the 5-year average of 23.9). The least hunting effort per turkey seen occurred in the Ridge and Valley and Lower Coastal Plain. The effort per gobbler heard was least in Ridge and Valley and Lower Coastal Plain and greatest in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Even though there were more cooperators this year, there were fewer hours hunted and less trips made; however, there were more gobblers harvested. Thus, this year cooperators seem to be more efficient in their hunting trips as pertaining to harvest.
Statewide peak gobbling activity, 2.5 gobblers heard per trip, occurred during the first (March 24-25) weekend (which is similar to the 5-year average for the first weekend of 2.6). The next highest period recorded 2.2 gobblers heard per trip was the third weekend (April 7-8). This season there were 3 periods with greater than or equal to 2.0 gobblers heard per trip, whereas last year there were 2. For most of the state the greatest amount of gobbling activity was the first 7 days (Mar 24 – April 1) and the 7-day period of April 7- April 15 (the third week of the season). Peaks of gobbling by region occurred during the first weekend (3.3 gobblers heard/hour) for the Ridge and Valley, the second weekend (1.6 gobblers heard/hour; March 31 - April 1) for the Blue Ridge Mountains, the first weekend for the Piedmont (2.3 gobblers heard/hour), first weekend for the Upper Coastal Plain (2.6 gobblers heard/hour), and the first weekend for the Lower Coastal Plain (3.1 gobblers heard/hour). More gobblers were heard per trip across all Regions than last year.
The statewide gobbler harvest during the first seven days of the season amounted to 40% of the total season harvest (which is more than the 5-year average of 31 %). Peak harvest was generally seen within the first seven days of the season in all parts of the state.
Similar to previous seasons, the greatest number of trips made was during the first seven days of the season. Only minor variations in hunting effort have occurred over the years.
Hunter success (68.5 %) was better than last year (2011= 67.4 %) and the 5-year average 66.7 % (2007-2011) with 328 of 479 hunters reported taking or assisting in taking at least one gobbler. Of the successful hunters, 103 (21.5 %, 5 year average was 25.3 %) took or assisted in taking one bird, 88 (18.4 %, 5 year average was 18.0 %) took or assisted in taking two birds, and 137 (28.6%, 5 year average was 23.3 %) took or assisted in taking three birds. This was the greatest year for cooperators taking or assisting in taking three birds. Cooperators reported 266 gobblers harvested by companions (which is greater than the 5-year average of 171).
The predictive model analysis uses Poults+Hens of the reproductive season during the current year to predict the following years harvest season population index of Hours Hunted/Turkey Seen, where the predictor model (1978-2012) is:
Constant + (Slope *2011 Total Poults+Hens) = 2012 Hours Hunted/Turkey Seen
3.3175 + (-0.00034*4,428) = 1.8 Hours Hunted/Turkey Seen in 2012.
After the production data from 2011 was entered and updated the model, the prediction for the 2012 harvest season was 1.8 hours hunted per turkey seen; which was only 6% from what was observed, 1.7 hours hunted per turkey seen. A relatively high inverse correlation r = -0.90 was obtained from the comparison of the new nesting season population index versus the following years harvest season population index.
2013 Season Forecast
According to a post-season telephone survey, Georgia's estimated 56,736 resident turkey hunters had a great spring season in 2012, harvesting about 33,049 gobblers statewide. The average harvest per hunter (0.58 turkeys) decreased slightly from 2011, and was better than the previous 5 years averaged (0.56). Not surprising, 71.0% of turkey hunters surveyed rated Georgia turkey hunting good or excellent. The turkey population in Georgia has declined since 2003, primarily due to poor reproduction and loss of quality habitat. I think we will continue to experience the ups and downs of normal population cycles typical of a stable population at or near capacity. We recently estimated the population at about 335,000 turkeys and harvest rates remain good.
The 2013 season should be good in most parts of the state. Production in 2011 was good in the Piedmont, Ridge & Valley, and Blue Ridge regions of the state. However, those areas had poor reproduction in the summer of 2012. So, those areas of the state should have a good supply of vocal 2-year-old gobblers, but there will likely be less juvenile gobblers in the woods. The lower and upper coastal plain areas of the state may see a little less success in 2013. Reproduction in those areas was good in 2010, but poor in 2011. In 2012, reproduction in the lower coastal plain remained poor, but the upper coastal plain saw an increase. So, the supply of easier 2-year-old gobblers may be a little more limited, but hopefully the good hatch in 2010 has provided a good supply of 3-year-old gobblers. There should also be a better supply of juvenile gobblers in the upper coastal plain.

Hello everyone!The other day I was wondering how much money I would earn if I ever reached the 70% cut, or, what would be my balance if I reached a sales volume of $75000. So I did this quick script to calculate the earnings depending on the sale volume and the growing payment rates: http://jsfiddle.net/cmoreira/Egcua/
It's very simple, i didn't spend any time on design
I searched the forums and I didn't find anything similar, so I'm sharing it here.
And a small challenge to the other coders: how would you do it?
I am not sure the function I did is the best, so, how would you do it? How would you enhance this script? Share your solutions here!

OWENSBORO - Seth Clayton Hooks, an Owensboro man already facing life in prison for the murder of a Trigg County man, was sentenced to 35 years in prison Monday for robbing a U.S. Bank branch in Owensboro and attempting to shoot a bank employee.
Hooks, 29, was initially charged with attempted murder, first-degree robbery and multiple counts of first-degree wanton endangerment in the Aug. 30, 2013, robbery. Reports say Hooks entered the bank and demanded money, then pointed a handgun at the heads of bank tellers and pulled the trigger. When the gun didn't fire, Hooks snapped the clip into the handgun and fired a round into the ceiling.
Hooks was apprehended a short time later after investigators tracked him to a parked van. Inside the van, investigators found 105 $20 bills, a .45 caliber handgun and two rocks of crack cocaine. Hooks deposited $700 for the money he received in the robbery in another bank and is believed to have spent $200 on cocaine before he was apprehended, reports say.
Hooks pleaded guilty to the robbery in late July. The attempted murder charge was amended to first-degree wanton endangerment as part of the agreement. Hooks also pleaded guilty to a charge of first-degree burglary - the handgun found in Hooks' van had been stolen from a home.
The 35-year total sentence will run concurrently with the life sentence Hooks received in Trigg County after pleading guilty to the 2008 shooting death of Harvey Choat, 64, during a robbery at Choat's Trigg County home. Choat was found dead in his home of multiple gunshot wounds.

I was walking along, minding my own business, doing my own business. Suddenly, I didn't recognize where I was. I kept following the sidewalk, but I still couldn't find where home was. Miss Adella and Mrs. Bruner found me and took me in. They took me in until Christina and Vincent could track me down that same night. They were so worried about me since it was getting dark and cold really quickly. She and Vincent walked door to door asking neighbors if they'd seen me. Alot of people saw me, and kept pointing them in the right direction. I thank my lucky paws for such wonderful guardian angels as Ms. Adella and Mrs. Bruner. They made sure I was safe and away from harm's way.
Now I'm back at home in my own little marshmallow bed of softness, snoozing the days away. And I've got better tags in case I get lost again. But chances of that are slim, cuz Christina watches me like a hawk now when I'm out doing my business. Thanks again, Ms. Adella and Mrs. Bruner! I don't know what I would have done without you!
There's a new dog in the house. His name is Fox. He's a itty bitty chihuahua. He barks alot. And I bark back.
Jeah took me to get a haircut today. It's sooo good to get all the fur out my eyes! It'll really help ease the dry-eye. I'm still on my antibiotics. I can't swallow them without a little bit of Brown Sugar Ham from the deli. Jeah spoils me so!

airodump-ng help page, eh?
Here's my question. Is anyway for to save ssid's in Airodump when they are retrieved.
I mean when I enter "airodump-ng rausb0" is there a way to save the in in coming Information in a text file.
Thanks in advance,
Ps. If you don't quite get what i mean i would be happy to elabourate
Yes I am aware of aircrack-ng.org but the problem is everytime I try and reach that particular website it just seems to refuse to open.
Don't ask me why cause it seems that every wbesite has no trouble
Look in the folder where you started airodump from (most probably root) and if you have started airodump with the option to write an output file, you will find two files named after the name you set for the output. The one with a .txt extension will contain the info you are after, the other contains the dump data.
Thanks alot for your replies still havn't managed to actually get on aircrack-ng.org.
A thing for me to remember in the future --help is me friend.
for anyone that cares or is using the search feture(doubtful) and finds this the solution is
airodump --write info ath0
and the gathered information is saved in root.
Thanks for your help guys.
Isn't that what I said 1 post before, except I gave more info.
No, not really.
This file were stored where you said they would be but I had no idea what command to use so I posted it.
As I had stated in the previous post airmon-ng.org wasn't loading and still isn't i suspect my ISP has some kind of routing problem.

Thistledown Racecourse
Thistledown is a thoroughbred race track in North Randall, Ohio at the outskirts of the city of Cleveland. It is owned by Magna Entertainment Corporation.
History and Information
The track came under the regulation of the Ohio Racing Commission in 1931 when it was formed. The track is the home of the Ohio Derby, the only graded stakes race in Ohio.
The track races under the Ohio 7/7 Program which means that live racing is held at two locations in the state at the same time. During the summer Thistledown races seven races on a card and River Downs races the other seven. In September, Beulah Park takes over for River Downs. Ohio racing is dark January to March. The track has declined in recent years due to summertime competition and the lack of slot machines that neighboring tracks have.
In 2007, Thistledown's parent company, Magna Entertainment, announced that the racetrack was for sale. As a result of staggering losses in which Magna Entertainment reported net losses of $87.4 million in 2006, $105.3 million in 2005 and $95.6 million in 2004, and has an accumulated deficit of $393.8 million as of March 31, 2007, Magna Entertainment stated: "Accordingly, the company's ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent on the company generating cash flows that are adequate to sustain the operations of the business, renew or extend current financing arrangements and maintain its obligations with respect to secured and unsecured creditors, none of which is assured...". Once-thriving Thistledown, which hosts the $300,000 Ohio Derby, posted a pretax loss of $4.5 million in 2006.[1][2] Thistledown and parent company, Magna Entertainment, recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Physical Attributes
The track has a one mile dirt oval. There is no turf course.
The track's premier race is the Grade III Ohio Derby. The track also hosts numerous overnight handicaps and minor stakes during its April to December racing season. Ungraded handicaps and stakes run in 2005 are:
- The Bill's Fancy
- The Angenora Stakes
- The Wintergreen Handicap
- The Mike Rowland Memorial Handicap
- The Brent's Princess Stakes
- The Pete's Buckeye
- The J. William (Bill) Petro Memorial Handicap
- The Merry Time Stakes
- The Scarlet Carnation Stakes
- The Isi Newborn Memorial Stakes
- The Cleveland Gold Cup
- The Rose DeBartolo Memorial Stakes
- The George Lewis Memorial Stakes
- The North Randall Stakes
- The Cleveland Kindergarten Stakes
- The King Glorious
- The Miss Ohio Stakes
- The Pert Near
- The Ohio Debutante Handicap
- The Loyalty Stakes
- The Governor's Buckeye Cup

Microbes and microbial communities in Antarctica, the Amazon, and in that narrow region where plants and microbes interact (rhizosphere) are among the 41 projects selected for the DOE Joint Genome Institute's 2012 Community Sequencing Program (CSP) portfolio. The projects selected are relevant to energy and environment research, but this year the emphasis was also on projects focused on plant-microbe interactions, microbes involved in carbon capture and greenhouse gas emission, and metagenomics. For example, one of the large-scale sequencing projects proposes to study the rhizosphere microbiomes of maize, Arabidopsis and Drummond's rockcress, as well as potential biofuel crops, to understand the plant genetics involved in determining the microbial communities associated with plant species. Another project focuses on sequencing 1,000 microbial genomes as part of developing a Genomic Encyclopedia of Type Strains, described by the proposers as a way to take the ongoing Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project to the next level. Several other projects focus on applications of single-cell genomics. A total of 30 terabases has been allocated to the 2012 CSP portfolio. Learn more at http://1.usa.gov/CSP12

DO you leave the wood grips on if you plan to carry or do you switch them out with something?
I took the nice grips that come with my sig P220"s the stainless ones and put the hogue rubber finger grips on for carry.
DO you leave the wood grips on if you plan to carry or do you switch them out with something?
I took the nice grips that come with my sig P220"s the stainless ones and put the hogue rubber finger grips on for carry.
I leave them on. I've always had Pachmeyer grips on my non Sig handguns but I like the wood grips that come with my Sigs.
My 226 Stainless Elite wears the grips it came with.
Hated the look of the "gray plastic" grips on my Sig P238 and they had not released the nicer grips. I made my own from African Padauk that I think looks and feels better. Polished the stainless parts but only the flats on the slide just to be different and now you can buy a lot nicer finish combinations.
Still have not reduced the high trigger pull as polishing the hammer and sear did little. Hate to just cut coils off the hammer spring and would like to find a spring kit that reworks the sear/trigger spring, recoil and hammer to keep things "balanced" in the function of the slide as well.
Anyone know of a good spring kit or what you tried. I shoot my reloads in all guns so know they are not in warranty.
I kept the nice wood grips on my P-238 and carry it just about everyday. I have enough guns with rubber grips, why not carry something nice?? If they get that banged up just buy another set.
I took mine off to preserve their appearance. For now using black Sig grips with better tactile feel.
Hey people, - - - how about some photo's? Your killing me with all these descriptions, now I want to SEE them.
Be safe, Frank.
I prefer the hard rubber grips on all my carry guns... This Sig Platinum Elite came with these "Aluma grips"
...and this Carry Nitron came with these beautiful wood grips....
...but as I said, all my carry guns wear the hard rubber grips like the ones on the Ultimate Engineering 1911 folder in the second pic. Consistency is good.... "same feel", same platform, same proficiency... works for me. :)
Changed my wood out to Sig slims. A nick in that wood would drive me nuts. The slim grips also fit my hand better although the fit is not that good.
These grips are not going anywhere!
If it's my carry weapon then my life might depend on how well it *works*, so how it looks doesn't matter a damn thing. I put on what works best. That might be the original or something else.
Wood on my P238. I like it better than the other choices but its nice Sig has them all for different tastes. However, I cant see why rainbow belongs on a pistol...maybe so the BG will be impressed he got shot with a rainbow colored gun?
Wood for me on my 220 Equinox!
Here is my Sig 1911 .45 Ultra Compact with Crimson Trace Master Series Rosewood laser gips. Love the look and feel.

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS DATED : 12.01.2011 CORAM THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE S.PALANIVELU C.R.P PD.No.1411 of 2009 and M.P.No.1 of 2009 V.Krishnamoorthy ... Petitioner / 2nd Defendant vs. 1.Balakrishnan ... Respondent / Plaintiff 2.V.Ramamoorthy ... Respondent / 1st Defendant Prayer : Civil Revision Petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India against the plaintiff in O.S.No.248 of 2009 before the Vacation Civil Judge (DMC), Coimbatore. For Petitioner : Mr.K.Kalyanasundaram For Respondents : Mr.S.Dhanasekaran for R1 No appearance for R2 O R D E R
This Civil Revision Petition is filed against the plaintiff in O.S.No.248 of 2009 before the Vacation Civil Judge (DMC), Coimbatore.
2. The petitioner had filed O.S.No.273 of 2000 on the file of the Principal District Munsif Court, Coimbatore against his brother, the 2nd respondent herein for delivery of possession of the suit properties. In the said suit, Schedule 'D' is the property in dispute in the present proceedings. He got an ex parte decree in the said case on 31.07.200. He levied execution proceedings in E.P.No.133 of 2002 on the file of the above said Court for delivery. In the execution proceedings also, the 2nd respondent did not appear and delivery was ordered by the Court. When the Court Amin came to deliver the property in favour of this petitioner, the 2nd respondent obstructed and thereafter he came with a suit before the Vacation Civil Court, Coimbatore impleading this petitioner and 2nd respondent in a suit which was subsequently transferred to the Trial Court in O.S.No.248 of 2009 for permanent injunction. After filing of the suit, the petitioner has preferred this revision before this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution praying this Court to strike off the plaint in O.S.No.248 of 2009.
3. In O.S.No.248 of 2009, the 1st respondent has alleged that the suit property originally belonged to one Venkatesh Naidu who is the father of the 1st respondent, that on 07.05.1993 Venkatesh Naidu executed an unregistered declaration deed (Urudhi Mozhi Paththiram) in favour of 2nd respondent, that this 1st respondent purchased the property from the 2nd respondent on 17.09.2008, that the properties in O.S.No.273 of 2000 and O.S.No.248 of 2009 are different, that on 28.04.2009, this petitioner came with Court Amin, police personnel and rowdy elements to vacate the plaintiff from the suit property and hence he had to file the suit and the same is pending.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner Mr.Kalyanasundaram would submit that the very facts existing in this case would clearly show that the attempt on the part of the 1st respondent is abuse of process of the Court and hence under Article 227, the Court has got every power to strike off the case in O.S.No.248 of 2009, that in view of Order 21 Rule 101 CPC, the 1st respondent is procluded from filing a separate suit and he should have approached the executing court under Rule 99 of Order 21 of CPC. In support of his contention, he relied upon various decisions of Supreme Court and this Court.
5. Before entering into the case law, it is profitable to go through the relevant provisions with regard to the proceedings to be taken against the obstructionists in the matter of delivery of possession in execution proceedings. In 1997 (2) L.W 266 [Brahmdeo Chaudhary vs. Rishikesh Prasad Jaiswal & Anr] , Their Lordships had an occasion to deal with Order 21 Rule 97, 98, 99 and 101 CPC. They have observed as follows -
A conjoint reading of Order 21 Rules 97,98,99 and 101 CPC., projects the following picture :
(1) If a decree-holder is resisted or obstructed in execution of the decree for possession with the result that the decree for possession could not be executed in the normal manner by obtaining warrant for possession under Order 21, Rule 35, then the decree-holder has to move an application under Order 21, Rule 97, for removal of such obstruction and after hearing the decree-holder and the obstructionist the Court can pass appropriate orders after adjudcating upon the controversy between the parties as enjoined by Order 21, Rule 97, sub-rule (2), read with Order 21, Rule 98. It is obvious that after such adjudcation, if it is found that the resistance or obstruction was occasioned without just cause by the judgment-debtor or by some other person at his instigation or on his behalf, then such obstruction or resistance would be removed as per Order 21, Rule 98, sub-rule (2) and the decree-holder would be permitted to be put in possession. Even in such an eventuality the order passed would be treated as a decree under Order 21, Rule 101, and no separate suit would lie against such order meaning thereby, the only remedy would be to prefer an appeal before the appropriate appellate court against such deemed decree.
(2) If for any reason a stranger to the decree is already dispossessed of the suit property relating to which he claims any right, title or interest before his getting any opportunity to resist or offer obstruction on spot of account of his absence from the place or for any other valid reason, then his remedy would lie in filing an application under Order 21, Rule 99, CPC claiming that his dispossession was illegal and that possession deserves to be restored to him. If such an application is allowed after adjudication then as enjoined by Order 21, Rule 98, sub-rule(1), CPC the Executing Court can direct the stranger applicant under Order 21, Rule 99, to be put in possession of the property or it his application is found to be substanceless it has to be dismissed. Such an order passed by the Executing Court disposing of the application one way or the other under Order 21, Rule 98, sub-rule(1), would be deemed to be a decree as laid down by Order 21, Rule 103, and would be appelable before appropriate appellate forum. But no separate suti would lie against such orders as clearly enjoined by Order 21, Rule 101.
6. The relevant provisions would indicate that it is for the decree holder to take proceedings against the judgment debtor or any other person claiming right under him who obstructs delivery of immovable property. Rule 97 enables the decree holder to file an application and after adjudication, the Court may allow the application directing him to be put in possession if the obstruction is found unreasonable or dismiss the petition if it turns out to be an unsustainable one. In so far as Rule 99 is concerned, if any person other than this judgment debtor is dispossessed from a immovable property by their decree holder or the property has been sold in execution of a decree, if the dispossession is caused by the Court auction purchaser, then the person dipossessed may prefer a petition to the executing court complaining of such dispossession.
7.When any petition filed by the decree holder under Rule 7 or any person dispossessed as described under Rule 99 of Order 21 of the code, it shall be adjudicated by the executing court and filing of separate suit is specificially barred under Rule 101 of Order 21. Pertinent it is to note that the petitioner being the decree holder has not taken any initiatives before the executing court against the obstructionist, the 1st respondent. The 1st respondent has not been dispossessed. He is not conceededly in possession of the property. Relevant provisions of the code do not prohibit the 1st respondent from filing the suit.
8. The learned counsel for the petitioner draws attention of this Court to the following decisions -
(1)2008 (5) CTC 137 [Kayalvizhi v. S.Parthasarathy] (2)2009 (4) L.W. 592 [M.S.Mansoor Deen & 3 others v. Fathimuthu Beevi & 7 others] (3)AIR 2004 CAL 99 [Md.Akhtar Hossain v. Suresh Singh] (4)2008 (1) CTC 288 [Bannari Amman Sugars Limited v. R.Sakthivel]
9. In Kayalvizhi's case, this Court has dealt with Order 21 Rule 97 CPC under which a petition can be filed by the decree holder against an obstructor. The decision in M.S.Mansoor Deen's case above, this Court has rendered the decision under Order 21 Rule 97. It has been observed by this Court that as per the decision in Md.Akhtar Hussain's case, as held by Calcutta High Court, intervention by a third party in an execution proceeding by bringing a fresh suit is barred by Order 21 Rule 101 of CPC.
10. It is contended on behalf of the 1st respondent that without exhausting alternative remedy of filing application under Order 7, Rule 11 CPC, to reject the plaint before the trial court, the petitioner cannot seek the relief under Article 227 of Constitution before this Court. Repelling the contention, the learned counsel for the petitioner cited a decision reported in R.Sakthivel's case above in which it is held that when the suit is not maintainable and alternative remedy is available, this court can invoke jurisdiction under Article 227 and interfere.
11. The learned counsel for the petitioner also relies upon various decisions of this Court which would indicate that this Court can exercise power under Article 227 of Constitution when a party abuses process of Court.
(1)1998 (1) CTC 66 [Ranipet Municipality v. M.Shamsheerkhan] (2)2003 (4) CTC 347 [Swaminathan K.K. v. Srinivasagam] (3)2009 (5) L.W. 79 [Tamil Nadu Handloom Weavers Cooperative Society v. S.R.Ejaz]
12. The Court has to see whether the filing of the suit in O.S.No.248 of 2009 by the 1st respondent is abuse of process of Court. It is stated by the petitioner that the suit is not maintainable since the property in dispute was purchased by the 1st respondent from the 2nd respondent during the pendency of the execution petition but it is contended by the 1st respondent that he had no knowledge about the suit and the execution proceedings filed by this petitioner. It is well settled that contentious issues or facts cannot be discussed and dealt in the petition filed under Article 227 of the constitution. When alternative remedy of filing petition under Order 7 Rule 11 of CPC is available to the petitioner, for rejection of plaint before the trial court, when the matter has to be dealt with reference to facts, this Court can refuse to exercise jurisdiction under Article 227.
13. The learned counsel for the 1st respondent S.Dhanasekaran would place much reliance upon following decision for stressing the prepositiion that when an effacacious alternative remedy is available to a party to the proceedings, the High Court can exercise jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution.
(1)2000 (4) CTC 358 [Venkatasubbiah Naidu, A. v. S.Challappan] (2)2005 (2) CTC 365 [Enercon (India) Ltd., Mumbai v. J.T. Micheal Anjalo] (3)2007 (7) MLJ 13 [Ganapathy Subramanian v. S.Ramalingam] (4)2009 (5) CTC 627 [The Ootacamund Club v. H .S.Mehta] (5)2009 (5) CTC 693 [S.Gunaseelan v. C.Valarmathi] (6)2010 (2) MWN (Civil) 154 [Vaniyar Nala Sangam v. Kumar] (7)2010 (3) CTC 604 [The Governing Council of American College v. Dr.M.Davamani Christober]
14. Their Lordships in Venkatasubbiah Naidu's case above have held that though no hurdle can be put against the exercise of the constitutional powers of the High Court, it is a well recognised principle which gained judicial recognition that the High Court should direct the party to avail himself of such remedies one or the other before he resorts to a constitutional remedy. This Court in Enercon (India) Limited case has held that Article 227 cannot be invoked only for abuse of process of law stares in the face and if circumstances warrant.
15. In Ganapathy Subramanian's case above, it is observed by this Court that mere filing of a suit by the respondents and taking the suit on the file by the trial Court cannot be regarded as an act on the part of the trial Court to transgress its jurisdiction or its bound. Of course, the party who files the suit might have filed it suppressing material facts or made up the suit to his convenience for seeking the relief which he is not otherwise entitled to, but that facto has to be considered by the trial Court during the relevant point of time.
16. In The Ootacamund Club's case, I have held after following the Supreme Court decisions that when an alternative remedy of appeal is available, the party cannot seek indulgence of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution. In Gunaseelan's case, this Court has held that the falsity of plaint is a matter to be determined at the time of trial and if at all the suit is vexatious and based on false assertion, plaintiff would be liable to pay compensatory costs under Section 35-A of the Code of Civil Procedure.
17. This Court, in Vaniyar Nala Sangam's case has observed that on the basis of averments made in revision, it cannot be concluded that suit is an abuse of process of law and that the petitioners can raise all issues before Trial Court in accordance with law. Eventually, the Civil Revision Petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution was dismissed by this Court. In Dr.M.Davamani Christober's case, this Court has rendered a finding that the High Court would not embark on any enquiry in exercise of power under Article 227 provided that finding is based on certain materials, that the party invoking Article 227 must show exceptional circumstances for exercise of such jurisdiction and show existence of error apparent on face of record or patent error and when lack of jurisdiction or improper exercise of jurisdiction is not made out, Article 227 could not be invoked.
18. Adverting to the facts of the present case, this Court is of the considered view that the petitioner has to move the executing Court under Order 21 of CPC to remove the obstruction. In so far as the exercise of jurisdiction under Article 227 is concerned, admiteddly the petitioner has got an alternative remedy of fiilng an application under Order 7 Rule 11 of CPC for rejection of plaint before the Court below. If this Court finds that the jurisdiction was not exercised by the trial Court properly or if it has exceeded the jurisdiction or if the suit is not found maintainable, it can exercise such power. It is reiterated that the fact of maintainability of the suit cannot be decided by this Court in this revision which involves dealing with the merits and demerits of the case by the trial Court. Hence, in my opinion, this revision is not maintainable.
19. In the light of the decisions cited above and all the well settled principles, the revision cannot be sustained and is liable to be dismissed.
20. In fine, the Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.

I am not the type of person who goes to churches or synagogues or mosques or any building which claims to be the place in which one communicates with God. I figure God really does not care how you send a message, it is the quality of what is said, not where it is said. Hundreds of people were gathered in a shrine of a Muslim Sufi saint in Pakistan. Two men dressed like everyone else except for the suicide vests on their bodies wandered toward the shrine, and when denied entry made themselves into bombs. So far at least 41 bodies have been found along with dozens of wounded people. I assume these humans were attempting to communicate with God or someone up there, but others were angry about something. Here is where I get lost with religious folk. They claim to believe in the same God, but one group places the comma at one point in the sentence while the other places it somewhere else.
What else could we do if religious when some heretic places the comma in the wrong spot–blow the damn bastard to hell! The bombers of truth go on and on killing Muslims on and on and it will not stop. There are times I wish God would send one of those thunderbolts toward these humans who claim to believe in his ideas. Or, if He was compassionate, how about sending the comma folk to another planet. What will they say when they arrive and no life form ever heard of God or Christ or Moses or Mohammed?

Actually, if both of your hands fit the same basic gun, there's a lot to be said for matching guns: ammo purchases become easier, holster/gear can be traded around, and if for any reason either of you needs to shoot the other's gun, you are not going to fumble around with an unfamiliar manual of arms.
Even with you as a lefty & her as a righty, it's not so bad to have an available "spare" holster that goes on your "wrong" side. If you sprain your wrist or break your trigger finger, it's very useful to be able to swap to the non-dominant side for the duration.
But if it bothers you that much, ummmm. It is not at all difficult to run a 1911 as a lefty. Get an ambi safety (you should on a carry gun anyway), use forefinger or middle finger for mag release, and your right thumb to lock the slide open. Drop the slide using overhand. Sounds awkward, but I've done it and have seen it done very quickly and well indeed. All a matter of practice.
Still, IMO it's better to stick with a gun you love. Don't bemoan matching guns -- just think of all the advantages!

We just launched the new version of our Project Management Software, Copper 2008.
The origins behind this latest version can be dated back five or six years ago when we first started looking at building a web-based collaboration tool for a (now defunct) design studio. Back then, as now, we wanted a simple tool that did 20% of what the other tools like MS Project did, but did it in a fashion that was inclusive, intuitive, and helpful. That we were a design studio capable of building a nice interface was a handy piece of luck, given our latest interface is perhaps still a key differentiator to other products on the market.At that time I had really keen ideas on what a good collaboration tool would do, but budgetary and time constraints meant that our early versions were always light on with features. Our first license sold in November 2002, for $99. Now, our flagship Enterprise version starts at $2999 and is world-class as evidenced by its amazing customer-base.
Over the years however our 'customer requests' list has slowly been eclipsed by our 'offered features' list, and we've come to build a product that people rely on daily to run their consultancies, just as we do. I'm sure (as our early 'soft launch' figures would suggest) that some of you will come to discover this tool thinking it was a spring chicken, offered by a fledgling silicone valley company interested only in the opportunity for that next round of funding!
However I'm proud to say we've been profitable and self-funded since that very first license sale, and to this day the CEO reviews every single piece of feedback offered. In short, I'm proud of our customer base, and proud of our little team's effort in bringing this new version to fruition.
For the first time in six years I can truly say that we're offering a product with unique features not found in any other software tool. For example the latest version offers a 'business defrag' a function by which you can review and manage your entire resource pool workload, creating the same kind of incremental efficiencies for your business as Norton did with your hard drive 20 years ago.
Add this to the formidable set of features that gel together beautifully and you'll forgive me doting on my little six year old as I send it out into the world, they grow up so fast!

Dear Diary,
Hey! What about me??? I exercise too, but it seems to work better for me than it does for Prince. Mommy says I'm purrfect....sleek & trim. Muffin is so fat she can barely jump but Mommy says it's cuz her legs are really, really short & she has fur on the bottom of her feet, so she slides around a lot.
I also run up & down the stairs, but I usually stop & "play" along the way. Prince won't let me get on top of the fridge. He says it's "his." I do get on top of the china cabinet sometimes & I also have to jump to get my water.
My favorite thing (besides tearing up paper products) is to run as FAST as I can and climb the cat tree!!!! Then I scratch & scratch & scratch. It's so fun.
Speaking of paper......I found Mommy's stash of wrapping paper today and tore up two rolls! I used to do that to Mama too. Why aren't they happy when I do this?
Your sleek & trim furriend,
Dear Diary,
I luv, luv, LUV the furminator!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Diary,
What is DDP and why I am supposed to be happy about it? It sounds like some sort of shot the v-e-t gives!!!!
Mommy says I should say thank you in my nicest kitty voice to Catster for picking me as one of today's DDP's and to all the kitties who have said concats and other nice things to me.
So....meow mu mewwy meouch!!!!!

Sit back and relax with a picnic and a glass of vino in Rogers Rose Garden to enjoy some of the Waikato's favourite entertainers as part of the Cairnwood Hire Pacific Rose Bowl Festival
The Big Muffin Serious Band have been creating their closely crafted ukulele based musical mayhem for nearly 30 years. Described by Olde Music Express Magazine as "…a cross between country-punk, skiffle and barbershop rock…", the Muffins play popular hits from the 1920s, along with loving parodies of more recent music, and musical oddities from all round the world.
They have released two albums over the decades: "Jabberwocky Goes To Town", and "Heavens to Murgatroyd", and they are currently recording their third. Although they have played all over NZ, Great Britain, France and Ukestan, these days they are equally-well known for their unique Dancing Chords Ukulele Tuition workshops and videos.

Understanding the Financials—and What Lies Behind Them
Managers in every business are expected to use financial data to make decisions, allocate resources, and budget expenses. But the truth is, many are uncomfortable applying the most basic financial tools in their day-to-day work. Even managers who consider themselves financially savvy may not understand what goes into a financial statement, and so may take the numbers as gospel when they should be questioning them.
In Financial Intelligence, Karen Berman and Joe Knight present the essentials of finance, but with an extra dimension. Succinct, easy-to-read chapters teach the fundamentals in a way that everyone can understand and put to work right away. But the authors also take you behind the scenes, to show where the numbers come from. Since nobody can quantify everything, accountants and finance executives always rely on estimates, assumptions, and judgment calls, which can skew the numbers in one direction or another. This book helps you recognize and understand those biases, challenge or correct for them when necessary, and use this information to be a better manager.
Based on their work training tens of thousands of managers and employees at many leading organizations, Berman and Knight provide readers with a deep understanding of:
The basics of financial measurement: reading income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and moreThe art of finance: separating hard data from assumptions and estimatesThe mechanics of analysis: calculating ratios, return on investment, and working capitalCash and profit: knowing the difference between them, and why cash is suddenly the "hot" number in corporate boardrooms and on Wall StreetFinancial literacy and transparency: recognizing how they can boost performance
Accessible, jargon-free, and filled with entertaining stories from real companies, Financial Intelligence will help nonfinancial managers add substantially more to their companies'—and their own—success. If you have ever wanted to "talk numbers" confidently with your colleagues, this is the book for you.

Leithart's Challege: ConclusionPosted by: Matthew in Uncategorized
See the original post to see what this is about.
Leithart says that the Bible speaks not only of spiritual things, but also hair, blood, sweat, entrails, menstruation, and genital emissions. Theologians on the other hand (except for perhaps Augustine) rarely make any mention of these. It's a blanket statement intended to shock, of course, but is it true nonetheless? Are theologians from another planet? Let's find out…
Photo of Winchester Cathederal by Flickr User shemacgo. Used via Creative Commons License.
I want to make it clear up front this this is NOT a piece, (not even a little piece) of serious scholarship. I counted things by hand, eyeballed references, and often did not compare apples to oranges. This was nothing more than a fun exercise to satisfy my curiosity. If you were very interesting in biblical linguistics (I'm not), you might consider this a quick, informal, initial investigation into the subject to see if it might warrant further attention.
Anyway, after all my word counting and writing samples, here is what I came up with for the challenge:
|The Bible
Now, using my secret and entirely unscientific analysis, I came up with the following "language similarity" scores, sorted in ascending order, including links to their original post:
This ranking actually makes quite a bit of sense.
- Augustine really does score the highest, just as Leithart said he would.
- Calvin's writing is often an extension of further development of Augustine, so it winds up being remarkably similar.
- Barth is off by himself, but the scope of his writing was grand. He didn't pass over much.
- Kung is mostly a popular theologian who likely didn't feel it appropriate to spend much time on topics that included these words.
- Borg is a gnostic who denies the bodily resurrection of Christ. It's fitting he would see God as not particularly interested in anatomy.
- Niebuhr wrote a lot on ethics, justice and war (in the abstract). Sex, blood, and guts wasn't on his radar.
- I was a little disappointed in Origen. I guess (having not read him before) I had assumed he would be a bit more like his closest historical peer, Augustine.
To finally restate Leithart's challenge:
9. Theology is a "Victorian" enterprise, neoclassically bright and neat and clean, nothing out of place. Wheras the Bible talks about hair, blood, sweat, entrails, menstruation and genital emissions.
10. Here's an experiment you can do at any theological library. You even have my permission to try this at home.
Step 1: Check the indexes of any theologian you choose for any of the words mentioned in section 9 above. (Augustine does not count. Augustine's theology is as big reality, or bigger.)
Step 2: Check the Bible concordance for the same words.
Step 3: Ponder these questions: Do theologians talk about the world the same way the Bible does? Do theologians talk about the same WORLD the Bible does?
So do these theologians talk about the world the same way the Bible does?
(My) Answer: Sometimes they do. Some more than others. Frequently though, theologians have chosen the language of philosophy, which the Bible rarely employs. By doing so, they have gained some powerful vocabulary and put it to good use. I believe they have also been inadvertently trapped by it – right where the world wants them. God's special revelation of himself didn't have much use for this language. It is more coarse, like God himself perhaps?
Do theologians talk about the same WORLD the Bible does?
(My) Answer: Well, most of the time, but they are frequently enough on another planet to warrant the accusation. Know what I'm talking about?
Methodologically the result of this shift in starting point from doctrine to data, from metaphysical system to narrative, is a reordering of trinitarian theology that points to a radical revision of the whole ordo doctrinae of Latin Catholic theology. Such a revision is arguably more appropriate to contemporary more empirically-oriented culture and sensibilities.
-Anne Hunt, The Trinity and the Paschal Mystery, Ch.6:Methodological Shifts and Their Meta-Methodological Significance
What's ironic is that this article is actually advocating a shift AWAY from talking theology like this and appreciating the Bible more for it's large-scale story.
As for out-of-the-world experiences, look no further:
Having styled 'limited atonement' as a key determinative doctrine in a subsequent 'distortion' of Calvin's theology into the 'rigid' and 'legalising' system of the experimental predestinarians, we now find that te doctrine of universal redemption could be firmly embraced by one of Kendall's own experimental predestinarian case studies without, it seems, any alteration to the doctrine of conversion and assurance in that tradition.
-Jonathan D. Moore, English Hypothetical Universalism, p.222
Nice, eh? I'm sure he THINKS he's talking about Jesus, but really folks…
OK. OK. It's easy to make fun of academics. "I is one" if you pick the right topic.
Back to the point. I think Leithart's real point is found in this earlier passage:
All that remains within the realm of theology are (perhaps) ecstatic and "timeless" encounters of the soul with God, God with the soul. Theology keeps Christian teaching at the margins and ensures that other voices, other languages, other words shape the world of temporalities. Politics is left to politicians, economics to economists, sociology to sociologists, history to historians, and philosophy to madmen.
Theology ensures that Christians have nothing to say about nearly everything.
-Peter Leithart, Against Christianity, Ch.2 Sec. 4
The "word challenge" I've been exploring here is to support this larger point. It's a case of, "Here, you don't believe me that Christians have been stuffed in the closet when it comes to talking about the real world? Well I'll prove it. Take a look at this!" And of course it's hyperbole, but it proves the point well.
I have a bit more to say about this, but it belongs in another post. It's been fun!
