Is it really possible for a Christian to actually possess peace of mind? God's Word says "Yes!" The problem is though we mistakingly connect peace of mind with peaceful circumstances and make the former dependent upon the latter.
Our text today reveals three characteristics of those believers who enjoy genuine peace of mind. If we are to experience the reality of inner peace in the midst of turmoil, these three qualities must be evident in your life.
The Gospel changes lives and changes our perspective on life. One of the areas in which great change can take place is in the area of fractured relationships. What is the answer to strife, division whether in the family or in the church? As Paul deals with the rift in the relationship between two key women who played a vital role in the Church at Philippi (chapter 4:2-3), God's Word gives us the steps to take in mending broken relationships and the good news is the answer is time-tested and true.
The key to freedom from the bondage of bitterness and an agitated spirit due to a fractured relationship is found in the Gospel of Christ. It is to be our pattern for thinking and living; it's the basis for how we treat others and mend broken relationships. Will you allow the Gospel to change your life today?
Why should a Christian live as a "Carbon-copy of Christ" instead of the culture in which he lives? This text of Scripture provides us with the reasons for/the motivations for obeying the commands in 3:17 and avoiding the lifestyle depicted in 3:19. Because our minds can deceive us (Jeremiah 17:9) into thinking a particular direction in life is the right one for us to pursue (Proverbs 16:25; Judges 17:6), we need an unfailing guide. God's word's is the only right compass for us that unfailingly guides us even when we feel strongly that our way is right and good for us to follow.
In today's text, Paul closes his treatment of the third imminent threat the Philipppian church faced--the danger of worldly living. His admonition to them is the same we need today: we must train our minds to fix its mental sights on the compass God provides. Only by following this divine compass would the Philippians, and likewise we, avoid the real danger that threatened not only to undermine their testimony for Christ but their effectiveness as a church to carry on the work of God. In short, they needed and we need Compass-guided Living.
The latter half of Philippians three, Paul addresses the third danger that confronted the Philippian church - the danger of worldly living. The 1st century church had to deal with the same problem that plagues the 21st century church but thankfully, the solution to the problem is the same and God's Word provides the answers.
The text of Scripture in 3:17-19 contains a very important truth worth considering: we are imitators by nature. We must be very careful from whom we take our cue for how life is to be lived. We must carefully choose our role models--a decision not only for children and teens to make, but adults as well.
In essence we will end up living our lives as a carbon copy of either Christ or culture and the Bible calls each Christian to the former. How does a Christian become a carbon copy of Christ? Listen to the message preached by our pastor to find the answers.

Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/13/2012
Publication Date: 3/1/2013
Citation: Masler, E.P. 2013. A comparison of the FMRFamide-like peptide proteolytic activities of preparations from two plant-parasitic nematodes (Heterodera glycines and Meloidogyne incognita): possible targets for novel control. Journal of Helminthology. 87(1):71-77. Interpretive Summary: Plant-parasitic nematodes attack all crops of agricultural importance, causing over $10 billion in losses annually to U.S. farmers. Because several chemical pesticides used to control nematodes have been withdrawn from use, growers possess a critical need for the discovery of environmentally and economically sound nematode control agents. One approach to discovering new ways to control nematodes is to disrupt their normal biology by interfering with molecules found within the nematode. In this study, we found that small protein molecules called FLPs, that are produced naturally by nematodes and are essential for their survival, are degraded differently in the soybean cyst nematode and the Southern root-knot nematode, and that we can affect the enzymes involved in this degradation. These results are significant because they show that nematode molecules can be manipulated directly to control these pests and protect host plants when they are most susceptible to nematode attack. Consequently, this information will be used by researchers in the agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology industries who are developing safe, selective methods for nematode control.
Technical Abstract: Plant-parasitic nematodes require a family of neuropeptides (FLPs) to regulate their physiology, and FLPs are an important target of research into novel nematode control agents. A critical component in FLP activity is degradation by nematode proteases. Proteolytic activities in extracts from the plant parasitic nematode Heterodera glycines and Meloidogyne incognita were examined for their abilities to digest three FLPs labeled for use in enzyme assays. The FLPs were chosen to include sequences distributed across all nematode species (KSAYMRFa and KHEYLRFa), and a sequence confined to a narrow range of plant-parasitic nematodes (KHEFVRFa). Species variations were observed among substrate affinities, reaction rates, and effect of protease inhibitors. Affinities for KHEYLRFa and KSAYMRFa in H. glycines were each higher than those for the same substrates in M. incognita. The affinity for KHEFVRFa was higher in M. incognita than in H. glycines. Reaction rates for KHEYLRFa were the same for both species, but KSAYMRFa and KHEFVRFa reaction rates were each nearly two-fold higher in M. incognita than H. glycines. Digestion of KSAYMRFa was strongly inhibited in each species by a serine protease inhibitor (AEBSF) and a metalloproteinase inhibitor (EDTA), but M. incognita was more sensitive to inhibition. 1mM AEBSF inhibited M. incognita activity 62.6 % more than H. glycines activity, and 1mM EDTA inhibited 36.6% more. Serine protease activity differed significantly between the two species as detected by inhibition. Maximum inhibition of M. incognita serine proteases was 76% at 1.85mM AEBSF while maximum inhibition of H. glycines was only 40 % at 1.85mM AEBSF, and was not increased with additional AEBSF.

I went to see Santa!Posted by brosenberg on December 23, 2008
It was a typically negative day. The news was filled with words like "tanking," "meltdown," and "recession." I needed a lift. So I went to see Santa.
Yup, there he was, jolly and red and seated on his big chair between Sears and Chik-Fil-A at the mall. Seeing the long line, I realized I'd probably look odd waiting to sit on his lap. I didn't want to pay for the picture, either! So, I decided to do what millions of other kids do – send him this, my Christmas Wish List:
Dear Santa,
I feel like we're stuck in a mucky reindeer stall – you get the picture, I'm sure. All I want is better times for my industry and it seems you may be our best hope right now! So, here's my Christmas list:
1. Have the financial community immediately begin making additional credit available to all levels of the boating industry – manufacturers, retailers and boat buyers. Yes, Santa, there are definitely buyers out there who want financing!
2. Persuade all manufacturers to use all their "Discover Boating" funds to enable their dealers to pay for exhibit space and/or offer cash incentives to prospects during the critical boat show season just ahead in January – March.
3. Pay all dealers their street labor rates for warranty work, including an appropriate reimbursement for reasonable diagnostic time.
4. See that all boat builders immediately start receiving the full cost savings on materials that should result from the big drop in crude oil prices.
5. Pay all dealers the normal and customary markup for any parts taken from dealer inventory to perform warranty service on manufacturer's products.
6. Bring on enthusiastic buyers to the industry's winter boat shows. And, while you're filling their stockings, stuff some extra deposit money in their checkbooks!
7. Encourage the President-Elect to immediately follow through on his campaign promise to make emergency low-interest SBA loans for working capital and inventories available to small businesses.
8. Encourage manufacturers to produce new models at low prices to draw in entry level boaters again (definitely not last year's models at next year's prices!)
9. Clearly signal that, as an industry, we must recognize that much of our future success will depend on undertaking marketing efforts to African-Americans and Hispanics.
10. Use the current economic downturn to rid the industry of manufacturers and dealers who build or sell junk and fail to provide genuine value and service to customers.
Now, anyone want to add to my list? Please do. Santa could be listening, and a Merry Christmas to all.

When it comes to multiplayer, military first-person shooters, Activision's Call of Duty franchise seems to get all the attention. However, one title that has quietly cemented itself as a strong alternative is Battlefield: Bad Company 2 from rival publisher Electronic Arts.
Now, the March 2010 game is taking a step back in time with the release of expansion Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. After exploring the 1960s-era Battlefield over the course of several online matches, Vietnam feels like an excellent supplement to Bad Company 2's arsenal.
What makes Vietnam work so well is it is almost a standalone game in some respects. The shooter reminds me a lot of another downloadable first-person shooter released by EA in 2009: Battlefield 1943.
The $15 download features four maps filled with dense jungle environments and other interesting locales like the lands set ablaze on Hill 137. The maps seem to offer more opportunities to surprise enemies, such as laying low in the jungle or tunnel to ambush attacking opponents.
The overall atmosphere compared to Bad Company 2 is quite different. In between matches, players can hear '60s-era radio broadcasts and tracks such as Fortunate Son from Credence Clearwater Revival.
The game plays just like Bad Company 2, but with Vietnam-era weapons, vehicles and gear. For example, medics will use syringes instead of defibrillators to revive fallen squadmates. There are also a couple new items players can take advantage of, such as the flamethrower.
Most perks such as ammo upgrades unlocked in the main Bad Company 2 game will automatically transfer to the Vietnam expansion. Also, experience carries over between Bad Company 2 and the expansion. It's too bad there isn't a wider selection of weapons to unlock. Players get three in each class, all of which are available from the start.
Fans of Battlefield Bad Company 2 will find the Vietnam expansion to be equally exciting. It also should serve as a reminder of what made Bad Company 2 one of the year's top shooters.
Readers, have you tried the Vietnam expansion? What did you think? Also, feel free to ask questions.

The big finale from LG was the announcement of MPH , which is a new technology that allows both standard and high definition TV to be viewed on pretty much any mobile device. Apparently the MPH signal can be transmitted from current TV masts concurrently with normal television broadcasts, making it easy for TV stations to implement.
LG was keen to tell us that MPH will allow you to watch television while travelling at 140mph. Now, when I've been travelling at 140mph (while not on UK public roads of course), the very last thing I would want is having my concentration broken by a TV in the car - but maybe I'm not the target demographic!
But even taking high-speed, death wish TV watching out of the equation, I can honestly say that I have never found myself wishing I could watch TV while I was out and about. Maybe I just don't "get it", but I can't help but feel that MPH is very cool technology for the sake of cool technology, with little in the way of really useful application.
All that said, LG was keen to point out that it's easy to implement the MPH chip into almost any device, whether that be a mobile phone, a satellite navigation unit, or even a USB stick for a notebook. If LG brings MPH to the market in the UK I'll test it properly and see if my initial reservations hold true, but for now, I can't help but ask myself why?

"May in Your House" explores the practical, realistic Green Party approaches to real problems faced by Canadians: climate change, jobs, health care, education, pensions, youth unemployment and more.
"Our approach has been ignored by the media that excluded us from the debate, so we have produced our own story," said Ms. May.
On Sunday, May 1, just one day prior to the general election, all Canadians will have the opportunity to view this engaging half-hour documentary focusing on the Green Party of Canada and Ms. May, the party's vibrant, charismatic leader and 2011 Federal Election candidate for the riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands. This absorbing, fast-paced program will highlight the Green Party's unique vision of a new Canada, one devoted to positive solutions and a bold, bright future.
They'll discover Vision Green, the party's practical, ground-breaking platform dedicated to creating a Smart Economy, Strong Communities, and True Democracy.
And they'll get real, honest answers to the myriad of questions they've been asking in this election campaign, from a party that delivers a fresh new approach Canadians have been searching for.
If you're one of the millions of Canadians who is feeling disaffected this election, who has lost confidence in government, and who is looking for vibrant, fresh ideas for fixing our country's problems, this is your opportunity to find out more about this exciting party and its bold, visionary leader, Elizabeth May.
Make plans to watch "May in Your House," Sunday, May 1 at 9:00pm EST/6:00pm PST on BNN & CHEK-TV at 6:30pm PST. A sneak preview is available at http://greenparty.ca/tv.

stock 02 sti, i want a cat back that'll sound a lot like a flowmaster but a little quieter
I just got a custom full 3'' exhaust installed on my '02 bug eye. It has an oval magnaflow muffler and 4'' double wall tip. It isnt too loud but very deep and throaty sound. If you want to quiet it down even more just throw a resonator on it. It will quiet it down but still have the patented suby grumble. I paid $300 for the install and the oval muffler tucks up perfect and looks stock. Go to any exhaust performance muffler type shop and it will be way cheaper and better than buying a cat/turbo-back system.
I'd say buy the downpipe off of the internet... I wouldn't let a muffler shop do the bellmouth portion.

Shelly and Eric were married in a ceremony at Tohono Chul Park followed by a reception at Wildflower American Cuisine in Tuscon, Ariz. on November 10. The bride wore a Rosa Clara silk organza ballgown with a bateau neckline and bow detailing on the back, accessorized with her hair in a low, chignon bun and blusher veil, while the groom wore a tan suit, accessorized with a blue button-up shirt and bow tie. Bridesmaids wore mix 'n' matched short pink dresses in various necklines and carried bouquets of roses, hydrangeas, and scabiosa pods. Before sunset, the couple opted for a first look. The vows were sealed with a kiss underneath a twinkling-lit pergola surrounded by a grove of acacia trees in the Alice Y. Holsclaw Performance Garden. Fun fact: There may or may not have been some sightings of songbirds in the air. Dinner continued in the open-concept kitchen restaurant. Perfect for the foodie newlyweds! Wooden tables were decorated with nothing but plates, napkins, flatware, and glassware. Plus, engagement pictures, which served double-duty as numbers, to direct everyone to their assigned seats. "Each entree was artfully constructed and quite delicious," Elizabeth Miller of Ann Bradford Photodesign said. "Afterwards, dancing was a must-have with several guests being from the Shelly's dance troupe." The night wasn't complete without dessert too. A mini buttercream-frosted cake. Yum!

Julian Casablancas is back with the Sick Six as the group heads over to the UK for Glastonbury Festival.
The summer festival portion of the Julian Casablancas Phrazes tour will kick off on Sunday at the aforementioned Glastonbury and will extend for 22 days before ending in Carhaix, France at Les Vielles Charrues on July 22. Along the way, Julian and his band will play Benicassim, T in the Park, Oxegen, Eurockeennes and Hove Festivals. The importance of these six gigs is that there is a good chance we get quality video from the TV networks of Julian's performance from at least one these festivals. And probably an interview or two as well about the solo project and The Strokes' reunion.
So, as if you need instruction, be sure to check back to TheStrokesNews.com.

Gore range stuff, fourteeners and most peaks over 13 require typically something like a 5-7 mile approach. Some even more, but I tend to start thinking I want a sled for those...

No easy access from mt passes like you have in CO. Get ready for a slog. The fairy lake area (from the video) is a four mile skin in on the road before you get to anything moderately steep once they close the gate. (gates still open this time of year making it a bit of a gangbang) Another two miles to get to some lines. Seems like most zones require atleast a three mile flat slog. The trail heads are close to town, with in 15 miles, so you spend your time hiking instead of driving.
unless your talking cooke city..aka..heaven
skipped the season pass this year and bought a cheap sled to get out to the steeps quicker. Working on a dynafit soft boot and kicker skin set up to make flats go a little quicker.
|I really need to do some Montana splitting...
i dont know the people but i know the line. I skied the same line last october. And turned back off a line last november. The bowl is very tight keeping sunlight out and holding snow for a long time.
the bridgers picked up over two feet at that elevation from wed-sat night. then temps spiked sunday morning. certain aspects had a lingering crust and hoar from the early october snow. (seen in the gnfac video from sphinx mt) When i was out on thursday at the ski area all we could find was unconsolidated snow sitting on dirt grass and rocks.
I guessing similar conditions as when we turned back off a line in the same bowl last november. We hiked on unconsolidated snow from the trailhead to the bottom of the bowl, around 2 miles. Still new snow on the ground and no base. As we started to climb the line to ski the new snow became more wind effected, and deeper. Hand tests had showed that the new snow was ready slide as it was now formed a slab from the wind and was sitting on the old crust. We stopped going up and climbed over a scree ridge and decended on a small protected slope.
conditions change quick, elevation, and aspect change the picture fast. We were aware of where the old snow was because we had been into the area a few weeks before. Once its all covered things get tricky.
heres a video from last year
Slide in the Bridger Range last weekend......
Walove I know you're local out there, have you heard anything about this one?
|Hoop creek is a classic terrain trap in spots. So yes there is some danger there. Fairly safe most of the time. Yes there have been slides back there, enough to bury.
|If it's 30 degrees or steeper or underneath terrain that is 30 degrees or steeper, it has the potential to slide. The "it's never slid before" thought process is a dangerous one. If it has snow on it and it's over 30 degrees, it can slide and Murphy's Law says that the first time you see it slide it'll be when your ass is on it.
Thanks, guys. I will heed your advice.
By Floral Park, I mean the overall area that contains Jim's Glades, Hoop Creek, ect; so when I say we only ride Floral Park, I really mean we only ride Hoop Creek and Jim's Glades. Is this the correct way to talk about that area- is there a specific run called Floral Park?
Has Hoop Creek ever slid?

I disagree with the very high 9/10 score you have awarded this. Reading the review there seemed to be a lot of annoying negative points, for instance the single USB port disallowing storage and a wireless dongle at the same time and that this is a single channel tuner. I think this bring up the issue of scores being so high now that when something genuinely good comes along, are we in danger of issuing an 11/10 score!.
Secondly, there was a very subjective remark about the clarity of the picture. I would prefer something a little less subjective, such as a test signal image with resolution and gradients, also cross channel RGB and signal levels etc. This could be easily setup and the results published. Then we would have a very accurate (and no subjective) assessment of how well these devices perform. Given this is trivial to do, and can be applied to many other products such as TV's, Printers, even cameras, then how about it.
@Andrew: such as a test signal image with resolution and gradients
You make some valid points, but how could TR get a test signal coming out of this device. eg, I assume they can't tell the BBC etc to transmit a test signal for them.
The USB thing, I wonder if a USB hub would work.
I must admit I'm a little disappointed with the fact it's only got one receiver.
@Danny: How would you compare this to the 3View?. I know Andy was the one who did the hands on, so maybe you could converse with him on it. Just a thought.
I would agree the the 9/10 is a little high, The review states 'you can pause and rewind live TV' but the user manual does not mention rewinding live T.V., this unit does not appear to have a constantly running recording buffer, This is a show stopper for me. Also having to set up HDMI using a SCART connection is annoying
@Andrew Well said absolutely spot on. If a product dose come out with 11/10 you can be sure Nigel Tufnel will buy it.
Only 1x Tuner no HDD cant use external drive and WiFi at the same time, surly this deserves a 5 or 6 for features not a 9. Also without all these features how s it possible to get a 9 for value as well £69 maybe.
Come on TR
@Keith - The BBC HD channel, during it's preview in the daytime, has some test cards with the striped colours and patterns and it even has a sound test iterating through each channel with a test tone for your theatre setup. Otherwise you could load up a jpeg or mpeg with test patterns.
How does it compare to the Technika 8320HD from FetchTV?
To get a test signal, you need simply to connect the TV input to the RF output of a quality Full HD 1080p transmitter (oh they even sell these at Maplin), actually I would get a more expensive broadcast quality job. You would only need one after all, so you spend a few hundred quid. Then make up a 1080 image with resolution line in 2 orthogonal directions and on 45 degrees. Plus tonal gradients for Gray, Red, Green, Blue and combinations of cross-over. Also have a sequence player for alternation between full black and full white to see how the components cope with a sudden shift of loading. Additionally, use a moving white square on black background to observe edge performance. Then some standard pictures to assess general composition and balance. As long as the input RF signal is standard and the result viewed on a the same monitor each time, then you will get a very good repeatable and measurable result. Using a HD recorder you can record the output and put it online so we can all make our own assessment. There - that was not so difficult was it.
I can confirm that the single USB port can be extended with an active or passive hub. This also explains why the 'Media Organiser' shows two external storage volumes - to allow the transfer of files between them.
I can also clarify that Terrystan is correct that there is no buffering so live TV cannot be rewound unless it has previously been paused.
@Andrew: (oh they even sell these at Maplin),
Out of interest you got a link to the device at Maplins?
@cushy91: The BBC HD channel, during it's preview in the daytime, has some test cards
Oh right, I've not got BBC HD yet, but that's good to know. I always remember the Test cards of old, I thought they had stopped doing them, not seen one for years. :)
yep little girl with the clown :)
Can anyone tell me whether an external hard disk could be recorded to, assuming it's formatted using FAT32?
@Ash: I've got a 8320HD box and would recommend it. HD picture quality is good, SD is good, I have it connected to my wi-fi so get the BBC iPlayer and Sky Player and it's an excellent all round box. Best of all it 'sees' my uPnP NAS so I can stream movies, etc. from there.
I love the idea of the USB storage as PVR, but the single tuner then counters that somewhat. :(
@Andrew: (oh they even sell these at Maplin),
I've been looking at Maplins website, I'm unable to find such a device. It's maybe named something odd and I can't find it. You couldn't post a link could you, maybe @Danny might invest in one, you never know.
The file playback support is pretty limited, do they intend to improve it through software/firmware revisions or anything?
Feature set seems a bit poor for the price in my opinion.
"No buffering" means no constant fan noise. I can live without buffering... but only one tuner? :-{

SolidWorks Tips and Tricks
Automatically Fill in Your Title Block
Open a new drawing document. Note that you'll need to do this for each of the different sheet formats that you use. For this tip, in the Sheet Format/Size dialog box, make sure that the Standard sheet size radio button is selected and pick A - Landscape from the menu. Right below the menu is the name of the template, a - landscape.slddrt. If it's not, browse to that file. Make sure that Display sheet format is checked and click OK.
In the Model View PropertyManager, click the Cancel button. You should see a blank piece of paper with a border and title block.
Pull down the "File" menu and pick Properties. In the Summary Information dialog box, on the Custom tab, click in the box below Property Name and pull down the "Property Name" menu and pick DrawnBy. Click in the Value / Text Expression box and type your initials. Note that what you type is exactly what will appear in the title block. Click OK.
Note that your initials are automatically placed in the title block, the bottom right of your drawing.
Now, to automatically fill in the date, right click on the sheet and pick Edit Sheet Format. As you may notice, the lines turn blue and a few custom properties of parts or assemblies are already linked to fields in the system sheet formats. That's what the $PRPSHEET means. Place the cursor in the middle of the Drawn/Date box where the date should appear. When the $PRP:"DrawnDate" flyout appears, click the left mouse button as shown below. A little green box will appear where you click.
In the Note PropertyManager, under Text Format, click the Link to Property button.
In the Link to Property dialog box, pick the Current document radio button. Then, pull down the menu and pick SW-Created Date. Below that, pull down the menu and pick Short Date. Uncheck the Show Time check box. This will place the current date in to the title block of your drawing. If you wanted the date the model was created in your drawing, pick the Model in view specified in sheet properties radio button. Finally, click OK to close the dialog box.
You should now see the current date in your title block. Right click on the date and pick Edit Text in Window. (For SolidWorks 2007 and before, right click on the date and pick Properties). Delete $PRP:"DrawnDate" as shown below and click OK.
Press the Escape key and then right click on the sheet and pick Edit Sheet. The lines on the title block turn gray, indicating that the drawing sheet is now active. Remember that SW-Created Date is static. In other words, when you create a new drawing document, the current date will be inserted. But thereafter, when you reopen any of your saved drawing documents, the date remains the date the document was created, not changing to the current date.
To make this work for future drawing documents, you'll have to save it. You can replace the existing sheet format or save it as a new one. To do this, pull down the "File" menu and pick Save Sheet Format. In the Save Sheet Format dialog box, under File name, rename the file to 'a - landscape_date.slddrt' and click Save. Finally, open a new drawing document. In the Sheet Format/Size dialog box, pick a - landscape_date from the list of available sheet formats, as shown below. Click OK.
In the Model View PropertyManager, click the Cancel button. In you title block, you should see that your initials and the created date are already filled in for you. So, every time that you use this new customized sheet format, you don't have to worry about filling out your name and the date the drawing was created. SolidWorks automatically does it for you. Look around the title block for other fields that you may want to have filled in automatically.
Customizing SolidWorks For Greater Productivity shows you how to format and create your own linked notes, how to set the detailing options and layers, and how to save the custom template for future use. By creating a custom drawing format, you can set up things once and then not have to worry about them ever again.

Geale, Wood make weight in Australia
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Photos: Peter McDermott
Hard punching middleweight and WBA #13 Garth Wood (12-3-1, 8 KOs) is a heavy underdog with betting agencies but is confident he can defeat former IBF/WBA champion Daniel Geale (29-2, 15 KOs) when they clash over twelve rounds on Wednesday at the Hordern Pavillion in Moore Park, New South Wales, Australia with IBF and WBA regional titles up for grabs. Woods has had American IBF #5/WBC #5/WBA #8 middleweight Daniel Jacobs as his chief sparring partner, which has him in the best shape of his career and ready to upset Geale.
Geale made two trips to the scale and on second attempt was 160 lbs. Wood weighed in at 159 lbs.
Garth Wood: "The role I'm playing is the underdog and that's exactly how I want it. The runs are on the board with what Geale has done, 300 amateur fights and legitimate world championships, but I'm very confident with what I have in front of me."
Daniel Geale: "Every fighter is dangerous and always dangerous in their own way. Garth has got that puncher's ability and he has got that strength. I just can't relax with him. I know if I use my skills and box the way I know I can then I'll be okay. But he can definitely be dangerous."

15 amp gfi wiring question?
2 Attachment(s)
Can I use one these wiring diagrams to wire my powder room? It will be on a 15 amp circuit from the panel. It would be one light and a 15amp gfi.
Bathrooms are required to be on a 20 amp dedicated gfi circuit. A gfi outlet will work too
I am in Ontario, Canada and understand I am able to run the 15 amp gfi under code here. Correct me if I am wrong?
Either of your diagrams would work correctly if 15 amp GFI circuits meet the code requirements in Ontario. In the states we are also required to have a neutral wire in every switchbox under the new codes. In most cases this will be just capped off and that used but it's there for future automation needs. I'm also not sure if this is required by Canadian codes or not.
Either one of those is fine in Ontario as long as they are 15 amp circuits. Receptacle must be GFCI. If you decide you want a 20 amp receptacle you need another circuit for the lights. Lights can only be on 15 amp circuits.

List of aviation shootdowns and accidents during the Iraq WarFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from List of aviation accidents and incidents during the Iraq War)
Jump to: navigation, search
This list of aviation shootdowns and accidents during the Iraq War includes incidents with Coalition and civilian aircraft during the Iraq War.
129 helicopters and 24 fixed-wing aircraft have been reported by media to be lost in Iraq since the 2003 invasion till February 2009. 46 of these incidents have been attributed to hostile fire such as anti-aircraft artillery and surface-to-air missiles. In March 2007, Brig. Gen. Stephen Mundt said that 130 helicopters had been lost in both Iraq and Afghanistan, about a third to hostile fire, and he was concerned that they were not being replaced fast enough.[1] A more recent report published in "Aircraft Survivability" in Summer 2010 a total of 375 U.S. helicopters have been lost in Iraq and Afghanistan till 2009. 70 U.S. helicopters have been downed by hostile fire and the other 305 are classified as non-hostile and non-combat events.[2][3] Unmanned aircraft of any type are not included in the list below.
At least 283 personnel have been killed in helicopter crashes since the invasion, and 19 have died in fixed-wing crashes.
Since the beginning of the invasion helicopters were the target of attacks with "aerial improvised explosive devices", home-made bombs.[4] In early 2007 the US Army announced that the Iraqi resistance has a strategy for attacking US helicopters.[5] This was confirmed by documents captured from Iraqi insurgents.[6][7] A deputy commanding general in Iraq of the U.S. military said that the average month in 2006 and 2007 saw about 17 attacks against helicopters.[8] Efforts to prevent more deaths included more training for helicopter pilots. They continue to improve tactics and aircraft defenses to reduce losses. In fall 2007, the military deployed the more advanced V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. According to the military, this aircraft flies much higher and faster than helicopters and has six to seven times more survivability than the CH-46.[9] The cost of replacing this equipment we be in the trillions.

#46846 Feb 10, 2013
According to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report published in October 2007, the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost taxpayers a total of $2.4 trillion dollars by 2017 when counting the huge interest costs because combat is being financed with borrowed money. The CBO estimated that of the $2.4 trillion long-term price tag for the war, about $1.9 trillion of that would be spent on Iraq, or $6,300 per U.S. citizen.[10][11]
Joseph Stiglitz, former chief economist of the World Bank and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, has stated the total costs of the Iraq War on the US economy will be three trillion dollars in a moderate scenario, and possibly more in the most recent published study, published in March 2008.[12] Stiglitz has stated: "The figure we arrive at is more than $3 trillion. Our calculations are based on conservative assumptions...Needless to say, this number represents the cost only to the United States. It does not reflect the enormous cost to the rest of the world, or to Iraq."[12]
The extended combat and equipment loss have placed a severe financial strain on the U.S Army, causing the elimination of non-essential expenses such as travel and civilian hiring.[13

#46847 Feb 10, 2013
According to the National Priorities Project's CostOfWar.com , a website providing a running tally of the expense incurred by U.S. wars, the cost of the Iraq conflict is now nearly $801 billion. However, when medical and disability claims are included, as well as the cost of replacing equipment and weapons, economists Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes estimate the eventual cost of the war could be between $4 and $6 trillion, The Christian Science Monitor reports.

Halliburton gave Dick Cheney a $34 million payout when he left the company to join the presidential ticket.
We looked at a personal financial disclosure form that Cheney signed on Sept. 1, 2000. This is the filing made once someone joins a national presidential ticket. It represents the candidate's holdings and income as of August. In the portion addressing Cheney's compensation from Halliburtion, the file lists the following categories and dollar amounts as of that date:
Salary/bonus (gross):$4,721, 947
Deferred salary:$1,042, 441
Senior executive deferred compensation contributions:$654,804
Meanwhile, on May 15, 2001, Cheney also signed a second disclosure form that is supposed to update the August 2000 filing so that it covers the full year. In this filing, Cheney disclosed the following Halliburton income:
Salary/bonus (gross):$821,896
Elective deferred salary:$403,166
Stock equivalent unit bonus:$396,213
Senior executive deferred compensation contributions:$53,692
Elective deferred salary lump sum payout:$1,140,160
Restricted stock imputed income:$7,560,000
Nonqualified stock option income:$21,964,254
Senior executive deferred compensation payout:$2,797,128

Friends have earned since Dick became Vice President of the United States.
While Dick claims he has no ties with the company he use to run, he receives about $150,000 per year from Halliburton. Of course the fact that Halliburton and Friends have the Vice President on the payroll has nothing to do with the billions of American tax dollars that Haliburton has made since we invaded Iraq to liberate the Iraqi people. Here are a few fun facts that will help you understand how Halliburton has earned those billions of taxpayers dollars fair and square!
FUN FACT 1 - On October 29,2003, the Associated Press reported that "the U.S. government hired the company in Iraq without a competitive bid, after the company recommended itself in a study. Halliburton's Iraq oil services contract, worth $1.59 billion so far, will be extended until December or January."
FUN FACT 2 - The Associated Press on October 29, 2003 also reported that "Iraq contractors DynCorp, Bechtel and Halliburton donated more than $2.2 million mainly to Republican causes like the 2000 Bush presidential campaign between 1999 and 2002, according to the Center for Responsive Politics."
FUN FACT 3 - The Associate Press further reported on October 29, 2003 that we taxpayers paid Halliburton's subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root $3 million to build a mess tent in Bagdad for our troops.
FUN FACT 4 - The U.S. government and its taxpayers are paying Vice President Dick Cheney 's former firm Halliburton $2.65 a gallon for gasoline imported into Iraq from Kuwait and then reselling it to Iraqis for 4 to 15 cents. When is the last time you paid 4cents for a gallon of gas?
FUN FACT 5 - The Army Corps of Engineers announced in March 2003 that Halliburton had been awarded a no-bid contract, with a $7 billion limit, for putting out fires at Iraqi oil wells. Corps spokesmen justified the lack of competition on the grounds that the operation was part of a classified war plan and the Army did not have time to secure competitive bids for the work.
FUN FACT 6 - Bush himself was "shocked" at the overcharges and vowed that Halliburton would pay back any money they stole from the American people. Of course, this was another ploy by the Bush Administration to get the story out of the papers. One week later, the Pentagon determined that Halliburton had not been stealing from the taxpayers! Guess that W decided to let them off the hook!
FUN FACT 7 - The Pentagon acknowledged in 2004 that Haliburton was under investigation for charging the United States Taxpayers for meals it never served to our soldiers in Iraq! Apparently, the Bush/Cheney Adminstration has been paying Haliburton and Friends for three meals for every one meal Haliburton actually served. Makes you wonder how much that Turkey Bush was holding up in Iraq on Thanksgiving Day 2003 cost the U.S. Taxpayer!
The Blue View of this raw corruption was summed up best by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., who has stated that, "Halliburton is looting the U.S. Treasury and this administration seems to be happy to help them."
The Reds View is slightly different. First, remember that forgiveness is a Christian Virtue. Second, the Reds refer you to Bush Christian Founding Principle 8 which sayeth, "You can steal whatever you want as long as you are a CEO, President, Vice President, CFO, or Treasurer of a Fortune 500 Corporation. However, if your theft exceeds $1,000,000, you must attend a Protestant Church Service the Sunday after your theft exceeds the $1,000,000 threshold."
Damn that Obama giving away free cell phones!
It's breaking the bank!

Expanding Halliburton probe confirms Bush administration is most corrupt in US history:
On the eve of the 2004 presidential election, allegations about the corrupt relationship between the Bush administration and Halliburton Corp., the company formerly run by Vice President Richard Cheney, have taken center stage once again. Press reports Friday said that the FBI has expanded an ongoing investigation into contracts obtained by Halliburtons subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), in Iraq and Kuwait.
The FBI sought an interview with Bunnatine H. Greenhouse, a senior Army civil servant who objected to the KBR no-bid contract and complained that it represented preferential treatment. The Army gave KBR a secret $7 billion contract to restore Iraqs oil fields just before Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.
Damn that Obama giving away free cell phones!
It's breaking the bank!

How the Bush Family Makes a Killing from George's Presidency:
Halliburton scored almost $1.2 billion in revenue from contracts related to Iraq in the third quarter of 2006, leading one analyst to comment: "Iraq was better than expected... Overall, there is nothing really to question or be skeptical about. I think the results are very good."
Very good indeed. An estimated 655,000 dead Iraqis, over 3,000 dead coalition troops, billions stolen from Iraq's coffers, a country battered by civil war - but Halliburton turned a profit, so the results are very good.
Very good certainly for Vice President Dick Cheney, who resigned from Halliburton in 2000 with a $33.7 million retirement package (not bad for roughly four years of work). In a stunning conflict of interest, Cheney still holds 50,000 stock options in the company. Why pursue diplomacy when you can rake in a personal fortune from war?
Yet Cheney isn't the only one who has benefited from the Bush administration's destructive policies. The Bush family has done quite nicely too. Just a few examples:
Bush Sr.
Bush's dad has strong connections to the Carlyle Group, a massive private equity investment firm whose Chairman Emeritus is Frank Carlucci, a former college roommate of Donald Rumsfeld's and former Defense Secretary under Ronald Reagan. Imagine the pull Carlucci has with today's White House...
But Carlucci has another secret weapon - Bush Sr. Amid conflict-of-interest allegations, the elder Bush resigned from the Carlyle Group in 2003, but reportedly remains on retainer, opening doors to lucrative profits in the Middle East and elsewhere. Bush Sr.'s specialty is Saudi Arabia; in fact, he was at a Carlyle investment conference with Osama bin Laden's estranged brother, Shafiq bin Laden, when the 9/11 attacks took place.
Carlyle specializes in military and security investments, and with Bush Jr. in office, the company's profits have soared; it received $677 million in contracts in 2002, then a whopping $2.1 billion in 2003. Carlyle's investors currently enjoy an equity capital pool of over 44 billion dollars.
In January 2006, Bush Sr. wrote China's Foreign Affairs Ministry that it would be "beneficial to the comprehensive development of Sino-US relations" if Beijing approved the sale of a Chinese bank to a consortium which included Carlyle. Bluntly put, Bush Sr. asked China to grant Carlyle a lucrative business deal or risk his son's wrath.
Damn that Obama giving away free cell phones!

New Releases: Beethoven Concertos, Bach's Brandenburgs, Rossini Overtures
After having neglected Beethoven in his younger years, Leif Ove Andsnes is making up for lost time. The latest installment of his concerto cycles is among our albums of the week, along with new recordings of the Brandenburg Concertos and some rarely-heard Rossini overtures.
"The Beethoven Journey": Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 4
Leif Ove Andsnes
Mahler Chamber Orchestra
Sony Classical
Available at Arkivmusic.com
Yes, the title may seem a tad grandiose for a single CD, or even a concerto cycle, of which this is a part. But these performances of Beethoven's Piano Concertos Nos. 2 & 4 live up to the standard that Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes set with his previous recording of the Beethoven Concertos Nos. 1 & 3, released in 2012. As Andsnes indicates in the liner notes, this album was delayed due to the premature birth of his twin children, Erlend and Ingvild (both of whom are now doing fine). Whether a kind of childlike wonder comes through in moments was inspired by personal circumstances is difficult to say but the performances have moments of depth, majesty and joyous enthusiasm, all backed by the attentive Mahler Chamber Orchestra.
On Wednesday, Andsnes will come to Carnegie Hall for an all-Beethoven program. Below is his performance of the "Waldstein" Sonata, recorded in 2012 in The Greene Space at WQXR.
J.S. Bach: Brandenburg Concertos
Freiburg Baroque Orchestra
Harmonia Mundi
You might think that the last thing the world needs is another recording of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos but the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra has a particular affinity for these six popular pieces. The conductorless period-instrument ensemble, founded in 1997, made a DVD of these works in 2001, recorded in the room for which Bach possibly intended them; the orchestra in now on a Bach world tour to promote the new recording. There's much to admire here including the bravura harpsichord playing of Torsten Johann, the warm oboe sound of Ann-Kathrin Bruggenmann and the nimble piccolo trumpet playing of Jaroslav Roucek.
Rossini Overtures, Vol. 4
Prague Sinfonia Orchestra
Christian Benda
Available at Arkivmusic.com
Last June we introduced you to Vol. 2 of the Prague Sinfonia's four-CD series of Rossini's complete overtures. Now comes the finale, and it's packed with some of the composer's less familiar opera openers. Included are rarities like the overtures to Bianca e Falliero, Armida, Torvaldo e Dorliska and Ricciardo e Zoraide, all of which typify the composer's wit and charm. But not all is obscure here: the album opens with the beloved Overture to the Barber of Seville.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Several Lumberjacks were chosen to two Preseason All-America teams announced on Tuesday.
Punter/kicker Drew Zamora was selected for the Beyond Sports Network (BSN) 2011 Preseason All American Team, a team made up of the top players from the FCS, Division II, Division III, and NAIA levels. He was selected for the third team.
Zamora, who is from Colorado, Springs, Colo., had a 42.2 per punt average with 16 inside-the-20 with a long of 70 in 2010. He was the second punter in school history to record two punts of 70 yards or more in the same season, finishing the season ranked third in the Big Sky and 12th in the nation in punting average. He also handled kickoff duties with 57 kickoffs with 31 touchbacks.
Three players were named to the 2011 FCS Senior Scout Bowl Preseason All-American Football Team. The FCS Senior Scout Bowl is a post season all-star game showcasing the talent of senior players from the NCAA FCS Division football level. This Bowl game is presented by the Collegiate Development Football League (www.playCDFL.com) and will be held December 17, 2011 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Player selections for this showcase game begin with the announcement of the FCS Senior Scout Bowl All-American team. This team recognizes the football achievements of senior players who are entering their final season on the FCS level.
Senior offensive lineman Alex Mott was named to the South Offensive First Team, while senior defensive lineman Isaac Bond and kicker Matt Myers were named to the South Defense Second Team.
Mott, a senior from Troutdale, Ore., was an All-Big Sky Honorable Mention selection in 2010, starting all 11 games at left guard.
Bond, who is from Vancouver, Wash., was an All-Big Sky first-team choice in 2010. He ranked tops among defensive lineman with 32 tackles, recording six tackles for loss and listing fourth in the Big Sky in sacks per game.
Myers, who hails from Corona, Calif., was a finalist for the award as a junior. He was second on the team in 2010 scoring with 76 points from 14 of 18 field goals and 34 of 36 point-after attempts. He earned honorable mention All-Big Sky Conference honors, tying for 16th in the nation with 1.27 field goals per game.
Sky is the Limit…
The excitement building around the program about the renovated Walkup Skydome is growing.
Eastern Washington Head Coach Beau Baldwin is familiar with what major facility changes can do for a program. A year ago, the Eagles installed red turf and completed a press box renovation to their facility. They rode the momentum of the facility improvements to a FCS National Championship.
"Everyone saw the red turf last year," said Baldwin on the Big Sky Coaches Teleconference. "It gave our student-athletes something to really grab onto as theirs. Other teams did not like playing their and went as far as 'I hate your red turf'. But our guys loved it and gave up a home field to protect that was different in our conference."
The Lumberjacks will open the renovated Walkup Skydome on Sept. 10 against Fort Lewis College.
NFL Updates…
Former All-American K.J. Gerard was signed by the Miami Dolphins earlier this week after being cut by the Chicago Bears on Aug. 2. The Dolphins are his third NFL team after originally signing as a free agent with the Baltimore Ravens in 2009.
Daiveun Curry-Chapman will make his professional debut tonight against the Oakland Raiders. The game can be seen on ABC 15 in Phoenix and Flagstaff and heard on KVNA 104.7 Your Major League FM in Flagstaff. Matt Estrada will play for the Jacksonville Jaguars at New England on Friday night.

Catherine, just to nake sure you're aware of this: Your cousin's profile is marked as private. That means that only a small number of Geni users in her family group can see it. If your concern is that private information about her is being released publicly on the Internet, please be assured that it's not. The person who added her is likely another close relative who means no harm. Maybe it's someone you can work with to create a (private) memorial tribute to your cousin or with whom you can share happy memories.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Catherine ann Wegenka - I totally empathize with you. What happens is that you can report the profile as deceased. We just had a beloved relative pass away in March. There is an option on the drop down for all profiles that includes report as deceased.
I reported it in late April, asking that either Geni edit the profile as deceased or give management of the profile to our relative's daughter.
In your case, I believe that the manager that Yaacov mentioned can go into the profile directly and edit it. However you should report the profile in case that person is not on Geni frequently.
Private User - The problem that users experience is receiving birthday announcements about recently deceased relatives. I received one this morning for my deceased relative. That is why someone needs to report the profile to be edited as deceased, because it's hurtful.
Catherine Ann - I am sorry for your loss.

In concurrence with recommendations of a task force of the American Association of Law Libraries, the Library of Congress has changed its subject cataloging practices for texts of, and works about, constitutions of political jurisdictions. The subdivisions --Constitution, --Constitutional history, and --Constitutional law have all been discontinued under names of places. The headings Constitutions, Constitutional history, and Constitutional law may now be further divided geographically.
Texts of constitutions are now assigned the heading Constitution--[place]. Works about constitutions and constitutional law are assigned the headings Constitutional law-- [place] and/or Constitutional history--[place], as appropriate. In addition, works about a specific constitution may be assigned the appropriate name-title heading designating the constitution, e.g., United States. Constitution.
The relevant subject authority records have been revised to reflect these changes in practice.

The NACO Participants' Manual, second edition, is available from the Cataloging Distribution Service of the Library of Congress.

The manual is divided into four sections: "New Authority Records," "Additions and Changes to Authority Records," "Subject Heading Contribution," and "Appendices."
