|How to install ffmpeg on windows
|Written by Waheed Akhtar
|Wednesday, 07 January 2009 19:10
Let me introduce you to ffmpeg first.
ffmpeg is widely used for media format conversions or encoding. You may have seen on Youtube. Whatever media format you upload, it is converted into streaming flash files.(.flv). You can get more information about ffmpeg from http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/
ffmeg installation on Linux may be easy because primarily it is made for Linux not Windows. However some good experts have made it for windows also.
As I worked on ffmpeg, one thing is confirmed that you must have dedicated Windows server to install ffmpeg. There are a lot of changes in the OS and PHP settings.
Right now I will guide you to install ffmpeg on Windows XP. If you want to install it on Windows 2003 server then you can contact me.
Ok, please follow these steps to install ffmpeg on your Windows XP machine.
1- You must have PHP version 5.2.6 or above installed
2- Graphics library GD2 must also be installed.
3- Now download ffmpeg.exe file from this URL http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/builds/
4- Put this file on a base or short location like c:/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.exe this path will be used in DOS commands. So keep it easy and simple.
5- In fact this is the only file required for encoding files. However I am giving you whole application development guide like creating frame images and flash movie player etc.
6- If you switch to DOS simply give a source and destination file like
7- Now come to another thing. It is called ffmpeg-php extension. This extension is made to manipulate encoded files. You can create frames and logo for your output file.
8- You can download ffmpeg-php extension and API documentation from this URL
a) http://sergey89.ru/files/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php-win32-all.zip
9- Copy all fmpeg-php dll files into PHP "ext" (extensions) folder or System32,
10- Make this entry in php.ini
11- Now restart your PC. It's good, because sometimes IIS restart doesn't show effect.
12- Take phpinfo() to check that extension is installed successfully. I hope it will be there. J
13- As ffmpeg.exe will be executed from DOS within PHP. There is a function in PHP called exec() for that. However it will not work straight away. Restart your pc in safe mode with Administrator account. Because mostly Windows XP won't let set security permissions in normal mode. Here is a very good example of setting permissions. http://www.somacon.com/p255.php
14- Ok, everything is done, How should we test that it is working?
If sample code is printing all the information then your ffmpeg installation is successful and you can carry on with development of your application development.
When working on Home or PC, you might face some issues like slow encoding, It is because ffmpeg encoding requires more resources. You must experiment with small video/audio clips. However on Web servers you can try large files also.
If you are looking for ffmpeg hosting with everything ready then you can try Cirtex Hosting

Thank You
Now builds for php 5.3 is available in this link http://sergey89.ru/files/ffmpeg-php/ . This may be usefull to you i think. Please read that readme inside that zip file it has clear explanation
i have change my php version from 5.3.0 to 5.2.6
There is one mistake in the article .. at step 9
->Copy all fmpeg-php dll files into PHP "ext" (extensions) folder or System32, Where the extensions are located
You also have to copy .dll files to System 32. folder
too. Otherwise extension will not work..
finally ffmpeg has show up on my php info,
thank you so much for your guide,so happy right now after a lot of trying and trying...
if you guys,still get frustrated...don't give up
you'll make it
on my php.ini but,i still can't find ffmpeg configuration at php info
i've download this link
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffmpeg-php, but i still don't know what's this for,
so what i miss with my installation?
p.s: i've send an email too
I have followed all instructions and restarted all services (WAMP) but I get error messages. "PHP Startup: ffmpeg: Unable to initialize module... "
I honestly have no idea why,I copied all ddl as instructed.
I will be grateful for any feedback at all, and will always be glad to help where I can with other problems..
Admin Reply.
ffmpeg-php library is currently for the version upto PHP 5.2.6, while Wamp is using PHP 5.3.x.
this is causing problems. So install previous version Wamp and Xampp with PHP 5.2.6.
I will try to look any solution for current versions.
Admin Reply,
Well, May be it is because of User Access Control. Search "how to turn off User Access Control in Windows 7".
Thaks a lot for the guide !
I am running php5.3.0 on Windows Vista and MS IIS 7.0 (I do not run my php on Apache).
I copied the php_ffmpeg.dll in the ext folder and added the entery below to the php.ini:
Could you please help me get FFMPEG extension installed properly?
Thanks a lot!
Admin Reply:
Saman, Please copy the dlls to you System folders as well. i.e /system32
your step by step for ffmpeg is very useful.
I got a error after adding all dll files to ext folder in wampserver.
The error is unable load dynamic library.
Plz guide me to overcome the error.
Admin Reply,
Copy same dll files in Windows System folder.
Can you please guide me in installing ffmpeg in windows 2003 virtual private server
Thanks in advance,
Maheswaran S
but in that i did not find any files named php_ffmpeg.dll.So can u give me the exect link where i can download the php_ffmpeg exes and dlls
Admin Reply:
Please download it from this link http://sergey89.ru/files/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php-win32-all.zip

The R-C Morning Report for July 3
July 5, 2014
A Minden bar owner had to face the music on Wednesday when he pleaded guilty to allowing a band of troubadours to play outside his establishment. Paquale Cioffi was cited for allowing live entertainment of perform at the Corner Bar on May 3 without a permit. On Wednesday his sentence was deferred for a year on condition he not let it happen again.
Minden's loss is Douglas County's gain, but making that transition will require the next six months. Thaler will be sworn in as a Douglas County commissioner in January, and will have to vacate his seat on the town board. A call for applications for his seat will take place in August or September, according to a proposal prepared by the Minden staff.
It will be a sunny Independence Day eve today with a high of 92, and west winds 10-15 mph, gusting to 25 mph. It could be breezy on the Fourth with the winds not dying down until after 10 p.m. Hopefully that doesn't affect the fireworks shows.

Welcome to Yoga Calm
from Lynea Gillen, LPC, RYT
As someone committed to children's well-being, you know how children blossom when they begin to discover and develop their unique abilities. As they become more aware of themselves and others, their natural beauty and compassion grows. And when we nurture these abilities, we enable children to succeed. In creating Yoga Calm, my husband Jim and I envisioned a way of doing just that: teaching children how to be mindful, resourceful, and emotionally intelligent, and showing adults how to provide this same education.
I was introduced to yoga when I was sixteen, attending a church camp on the shores of beautiful Lake Tahoe. What stays with me to this day is the feeling I experienced upon entering class in the small chapel overlooking the lake. I was a teenager with a great deal of unresolved grief and anxiety. Yet once in that room, I found for the first time a feeling of peace in my body. It was the beauty of the room. The soft music. The soothing voice of the teacher. The physical practice. I was immediately aware of a healing quality in this space, and I wanted to continue to find it in my daily life.
I found a yoga teacher and began practicing regularly. Eventually, I came to teach others in return. At the same time, I have followed a parallel calling first as a school teacher, then eventually as a school counselor. In both realms, I've since applied all I know and have experienced in working with children every day – those in the school I work in and those I've had the privilege to know through the Yoga Calm classes Jim and I have taught at a local children's clinic.
As you explore our site, you'll see how Yoga Calm's unique blend of physical yoga and training in social and emotional skills provides a host of benefits to children – from increased self-confidence and self-control to emotional literacy and learning preparedness. The physical work supports the mental and emotional. The mental and emotional support the physical.
Through these pages, you will begin to learn and become oriented to this truly integrated means of addressing some of children's most basic needs. By educating heart, mind and body together, we can instill in them wellness habits for a lifetime and prepare the way for their future success.

Back in 2012, John C. Reilly's animated film "Wreck-It Ralph" wound up a huge hit, and now Disney is working on a sequel.
During a Facebook Live announcement on Thursday (June 30), the "Step Brothers" actor and screenwriter Phil Johnston told fans they're working toward a March 2018 release date.
Taking his game to the next level, Andy Samberg just dropped the preview trailer for his forthcoming flick "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping" and it's chock full of crazy.
She's worn a bunch of different hats throughout her career, however there's one role Sarah Silverman isn't looking to play- wedded wife.
Despite reports that she's engaged to boyfriend Michael Sheen, the 43-year-old comedienne says there are no wedding bells in her future.
Stepping out to promote their upcoming flick, the cast of "A Million Ways to Die in the West" hit up the Hollywood premiere on Thursday night (May 15).
Charlize Theron brought along with boyfriend Sean Penn and teamed up with her co-star Amanda Seyfried on the red carpet.
She's gearing up for the release of her flick "A Million Ways to Die in the West," and during promotions Sarah Silverman chatted with the June 2014 issue of Glamour magazine.
Behind the 43-year-old's potty mouthed demeanor, her chat with the publication proved that she's actually very matter.
Taking her talents to a new network, Sarah Silverman officially signed on to join the "Masters of Sex" cast.
Joining the season two cast, the Emmy-winning comedian will portray recurring character Helen. The show also stars Michael Sheen, Lizzy Caplan, Caitlin Fitzgerald, Teddy Sears and Annaleigh Ashford.
She's an incredibly funny lady and it looks like Sarah Silverman's charm rubbed off on British actor Michael Sheen.
According to Us Weekly, the famous pair was getting hot and heavy in West Hollywood's Soho House last week and they were definitely not afraid to show off their love affair to the many onlookers.
It's becoming one of his hottest regular segments, and the sixth installment of Mean Tweets was hilarious on " Jimmy Kimmel Live" last night (February 6).
George Clooney read, "I'm very much looking forward to the day when the world stops sucking George Clooney's t**t. Lumpy-faced basterd."

AARSCHOTis a very typical town with a long history, dating back to the era of the Roman emperors, according to myths. The church, which dominates the look of the city, is built with the typical brown stone harvested from the hills in the neighborhood. The same hills that, in the middle ages, were home to some of the most well-regarded vineyards of Europe. Today the chain hills, which originate in Diest and continue as far as Calais in France, are mainly covered with woods and fruit yards.While the church definitely leaves its mark on the appearance of the city, nothing defines Aarschot better than the river that passes through it: the Demer. Aarschot is situated in the valley of this brown-colored river.------SCHERPENHEUVELis a place-name meaning sharp (or steep) hill which, since it falls within Dutch-speaking Brabant, is also known as Montaigu. Located just south of the river Demer between Diest and Aardschot, it is held in particular veneration by the inhabitants of the Kempen (provinces of Antwerp and Limburg) across the Demer to the north. However for the annual Candlelight Procession held outdoors at 2pm on the first Sunday after All Saints, thousands of pilgrims flock here from all over Belgium and from other countries as well.This particular ceremony dates from 1629, when it occurred spontaneously as a special intercession to the Virgin for Relief from an epidemic. Veneration of Our Lady of Scherpenheuvel, however goes back much earlier to a time when a statue of the Virgin was discovered in the boughs of an oak tree at the very top of the hill. The early Baroque church which now houses the statue, draped in a rich Spanish cloak and wearing a crown, was built in 1609. Seven-sided square, out of the model of St. Peter's Rome, the church stands on a seven-sided square, out of which streets lead to form a small community itself seven-sided in plan. The geometric perfection stems from the fact that Montaigu was constructed all of a piece to the order of Albert and Isabella, the Spanish Hapsburg rulers of the Low Countries after the death of Philip II.-------DIESTDiest is a quiet leafy town, best known for its well preserved Beguinage. Wander around the Beguinage's cobbled streets lined with simple cottages, which are now home to Diest's artists. Diest was also home to Willem I of Orange-Nassau, who fought against the Spanish occupation.

Instructional Technology: Past, Present, and Future (Instructional…
by Gary J. Anglin
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Teacher librarians pride themselves as being instructional designers with a deep understanding of instructional technology that boosts learning. Yet, there is a sister field, out there of technology that we may not consult as often as we should. Thus, the need to consult the experts in instructional design represented in this collection of essays. You won't find the basic and essential articles on Google that are in this colletion. You won't find a collection of the experts in educational technology that are in this book. This book will give you the background you need to operate in a world that straddles both information and technology. Anglin's book is often used as a textbook for masters and doctoral students of instructional technology to build their theory base. So, you want to know the authoritative scoop? Consult this source; learn the lingo, grasp the ideas, and you will be able to talk their talk and translate those ideas into the real world of your school. An essential read.
The third edition of this book, this update is providing even more elements of instructional design using technologies that will enhance design at this level. It, like its previous editions, is a compendium of information dealing with the significant issues and professionals in this ever changing field. Not a read for students, it is an important read for professionals, presenting the latest information about philosophical concerns over computer applications in teaching and learning. There is good research to back the assertions made in this book and it talks about how to advance knowledge in education around instructional technology as well as ways to advance oneself with continuing education.
Bottom line: This book is well organized by topic. While it will date quickly, the philosophical content of why continues to be of great relevancy even when the applications date. Excellent and thought-provoking. Highly recommended.

CLAREMORE, Okla. – The Northwestern softball team pulled off a split in Claremore on Thursday, winning the opening game against Rogers State, 7-6, before falling to a 10-1 run-rule in game two.
Trailing 4-3 through five complete innings in game one, Northwestern came up with a big sixth inning, using Jeana Hancock's team-leading sixth home run, a three-run shot to right center to spur a Ranger comeback.
However, Rogers State did answer with a run in the bottom of the sixth to pull the score to 7-5, but Meagan Lack got out of the bottom of the seventh after the Hillcats scored a run and the left runners on second and third for the eventual victory.
Lack recorded the first save of the season for the Rangers, while Renea Tarwater (3-2) got the win, pitching six complete innings, including three strikeouts and four runs given up.
Kati Jo Gabaldon had the only multi-hit game for NWOSU, going 2-for3 with two runs and a run batted in.
Northwestern was out hit 12 to 8 in the win.
The second game of the day lasted only five innings as Rogers State launched four home runs in the first inning in aiding the Hillcats to a six-run first inning.
Northwestern scored its only run in the second inning, as Kati Jo Gabaldon doubled in pinch runner Shalee Shafer for the only run of the contest.
The Rangers only had five hits, with Heather Hokeah coming up with two of them.
Amy Ramirez pitched 3.2 innings in relief of starter Lack (2-4).
The Ranger softball team (8-7, 1-3) travels to Wichita, Kan. for the Friends Tournament on Friday and Saturday.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

Speed Up of Calculations on Large Lists
Hello everyone!
I am new to Mathematica and try get a understanding of its power. I
plan to use Mathematica mainly for financial data analysis (large
Currently, I am trying to optimize calculation time for calculations
based on some sample data. I started with with a moving average of
share prices, because Mathematica already has a built in moving
average function for benchmarking.
I know that the built-in functions are always more efficient than any
user built function. Unfortunately, I have to create functions not
built in (e.g. something like "moving variance") in the future.
I have tried numerous ways to calc the moving average as efficiently
as possible. So far, I found that a function based on Span (or
List[[x;;y]]) is most efficient. Below are my test results.
Unfortunately, my UDF is still more than 5x slower than the built in
Do you have any ideas to further speed up the function. I am already
using Compile and Parallelize.
This is what I got so far:
1. Functions for moving average:
1.1. Moving average based on built in function:
(*Function calcs moving average based on built in function for
specified number of days, e.g. 30 days to 250 days in steps of 10*)
movAverageC = Compile[{{inputData, _Real, 1}, {start, _Integer}, {end,
_Integer}, {incr, _Integer}}, Module[{data, size, i},
size = Length[inputData];
Transpose[Join[{inputData}, PadRight[MovingAverage[inputData, #],
size] & /@ Table[x, {x, start, end, incr}]]]
1.2. User defined function based on Span:
(*UDF for moving average based on Span*)
movAverageOwn2FC = Compile[{{dataInput, _Real, 1}, {days, _Integer},
{length, _Integer}},
N[Mean[dataInput[[1 + # ;; days + #]]]] & /@ Range[0, length - days,
(*Function calcs moving average based on UDF "movAverageOwn2FC" for
specified number of days, e.g. 30 days to 250 days in steps of 10*)
movAverageOwn2C = Compile[{{dataInput, _Real, 1}, {start, _Integer},
{end, _Integer}, {incr, _Integer}}, Module[{length},
length = Length[dataInput];
Transpose[Join[{dataInput}, PadRight[movAverageOwn2FC[dataInput, #,
length], length] & /@ Range[start, end, incr]]]
2. Create sample data:
data = 100 + # & /@ Accumulate[RandomReal[{-1, 1}, {10000}]];
3. Test if functions yield same results:
Test1 = movAverageC[data, 30, 250, 10]; (*Moving average for 30 days
to 250 days in steps of 10*)
Test2 = movAverageOwn2C[data, 30, 250, 10]; (*Moving average for 30
days to 250 days in steps of 10*)
Test1 == Test2
Out = True
4. Performance testing (Singe Core):
AbsoluteTiming[Table[movAverageC[data, 30, 250, 10], {n, 1, 20, 1}];]
(*Repeat function 20x for testing purposes*)
Out = {1.3030000, Null}
AbsoluteTiming[Table[movAverageOwn2C[data, 30, 250, 10], {n, 1, 20,
1}];] (*Repeat function 20x for testing purposes*)
Out = {11.4260000, Null}
=> Result UDF 9x slower
5. Performance testing (multi core):
Out = {KernelObject[1, "local"], KernelObject[2, "local"]}
DistributeDefinitions[data, movAverageOwn2C, movAverageOwn2FC,
AbsoluteTiming[Parallelize[Table[movAverageC[data, 30, 250, 10], {n,
1, 20, 1}]];]
Out = {1.3200000, Null}
AbsoluteTiming[Parallelize[Table[movAverageOwn2C[data, 30, 250, 10],
{n, 1, 20, 1}]];]
Out = {6.7170000, Null}
=> Result UDF 5x slower
Very strange that the built in function does not get faster with
I would very much appreciate any input on how to decrease calculation
time based on the user defined function.
Many thanks

On Sunday, April 3, 1836, a sacrament meeting was held in the Kirtland Temple. During the meeting, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery went to an area of the temple where a veil separated them from the congregation. There they offered a prayer. After they rose from prayer, Jesus Christ appeared to them and accepted the newly dedicated temple. Moses, Elias, and Elijah then appeared, and priesthood keys were restored. Doctrine and Covenants 110 is an account of this vision.
Suggestions for Teaching
Doctrine and Covenants 110:1–10
The Lord appears and accepts the Kirtland Temple
Ask students what is written on the outside of every temple. ("Holiness to the Lord—the House of the Lord.")
What does the phrase "the House of the Lord" mean to you?
After students have discussed this question, explain that the Lord visited His house in Kirtland, Ohio, soon after it was dedicated. To help students understand the circumstances surrounding this sacred event, invite a student to read the section introduction to Doctrine and Covenants 110 aloud. Ask the class to follow along, looking for who was present and what they did before this vision occurred.
Who was present during this vision? What had they been doing before this vision occurred?
Invite another student to read Doctrine and Covenants 110:1–3 aloud. Before the student reads, ask the class to follow along and try to visualize what is described in these verses.
Invite students to read Doctrine and Covenants 110:4–5 silently to learn what the Savior said to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery.
What in these verses is meaningful to you? Why?
Invite several students to take turns reading Doctrine and Covenants 110:6–10 aloud. Ask the class to follow along, looking for reasons the Lord said all of the Saints may rejoice.
According to verse 7, why did the Saints have great reason to rejoice? (The Lord accepted the temple and promised to manifest Himself to them in it.)
How can the Lord manifest Himself to people in the temple? (The word manifest means to show or display. Remind students that they discussed this when studying Doctrine and Covenants 97 and Doctrine and Covenants 109. Most often, the Lord manifests Himself by the power of the Holy Ghost.)
Invite students to identify a principle from the promise in verses 7–8. Students may identify a variety of principles, but be sure to emphasize the following: If we obey the Lord's commandments and keep His house pure, He will manifest Himself to us in His temples. You may want to write this principle on the board.
How can we keep the Lord's house pure and unpolluted?
Why do you think the Lord requires us to be obedient and clean before He will manifest Himself to us in His house?
If students have attended the temple, invite them to reflect on an experience they have had when they felt close to the Lord there. Consider sharing how you feel when you worship in the temple.
Invite a student to read Doctrine and Covenants 110:9–10 aloud. Ask the class to follow along, looking for who would rejoice and why.
According to these verses, who will be blessed because of the restoration of temple blessings?
How is the world blessed because of temples and the work of salvation for the living and the dead?
How is the temple a blessing in your life?
Doctrine and Covenants 110:11–16
Moses, Elias, and Elijah appear, and priesthood keys are restored to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery
Invite students to tell about a time when members of their family were temporarily separated from one another. Ask them to share how they felt during this separation. As students study Doctrine and Covenants 110:11–16, invite them to look for how this vision ensures that our families can overcome any separation.
Copy the following chart on the board. Do not write the information in parentheses.
Priesthood keys restored
(The keys of the gathering of Israel)
(The dispensation of the gospel of Abraham)
(The keys of this dispensation)
What these keys direct
(Celestial marriage and eternal posterity)
(Sealing power, including temple and family history work)
Explain that after the vision of the Savior closed, three other individuals appeared one by one to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. Display pictures of Moses and Elijah (see Gospel Art Book [2009], nos. 14, 20; see also LDS.org). Ask students to explain who Moses and Elijah are and to name some significant things they did (if students need help, suggest that they look up these prophets in the Bible Dictionary). Explain that Elias may have been a prophet who lived in Abraham's day. In addition to a name, Elias is also a title meaning forerunner or restorer (see Bible Dictionary or Guide to the Scriptures, "Elias," scriptures.lds.org).
Divide the class into three groups. Assign each group one of the three names in the chart on the board. Explain that each of the messengers committed priesthood keys to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. Ask students to study the scripture passage written under their assigned name and discover what the angelic messenger restored. After sufficient time, invite one student from each group to read their assigned scripture passage to the class. Invite a second student from each group to write what the messenger restored in the row labeled "Priesthood keys restored" in the chart on the board.
In our day, how does the Lord gather His children into His kingdom?
Add to or confirm students' answers by inviting someone to read the following explanation by Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles:
"Missionary work is crucial to the gathering of Israel. … In many nations our missionaries have searched for those of scattered Israel" ("The Gathering of Scattered Israel," Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2006, 81).
Write missionary work on the board under "Moses" in the row labeled "What these keys unlock."
How has your life been influenced by Moses restoring the keys governing missionary work?
The dispensation of the gospel of Abraham, committed to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery by Elias, restored the promises the Lord made with Abraham. To help students understand the dispensation of the gospel of Abraham restored by Elias, invite a student to read the following explanation by Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles:
"Elias brings back 'the gospel of Abraham,' the great Abrahamic covenant whereby the faithful receive promises of eternal increase, promises that through celestial marriage their eternal posterity shall be as numerous as the sands upon the seashore or as the stars in heaven for multitude. Elias gives the promise—received of old by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—that in modern men and in their seed all generations shall be blessed. And we are now offering the blessings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to all who will receive them" ("The Keys of the Kingdom," Ensign, May 1983, 22).
According to Elder McConkie, what promises were given to Abraham? (As students respond, write celestial marriage and eternal posterity on the board in the column under "Elias.")
What do the blessings of celestial marriage and eternal posterity mean to you? Why are they important to you?
To help students understand the keys restored by Elijah, invite two students to read the following statements:
President Joseph Fielding Smith taught: "This sealing power bestowed upon Elijah, is the power which binds husbands and wives, and children to parents for time and eternity. It is the binding power existing in every Gospel ordinance. … It is by this power that all the ordinances pertaining to salvation are bound, or sealed, and it was the mission of Elijah to come, and restore it" (Elijah the Prophet and His Mission [1957], 5).
Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained: "As members of Christ's restored Church, we have the covenant responsibility to search out our ancestors and provide for them the saving ordinances of the gospel. … For these reasons we do family history research, build temples, and perform vicarious ordinances. For these reasons Elijah was sent to restore the sealing authority that binds on earth and in heaven" ("The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn," Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2011, 25–26).
According to these explanations, what power or authority did Elijah restore? (As students respond, write sealing power, including temple and family history work on the board in the column under "Elijah." You may want to remind students that without these priesthood keys, "the whole earth would be utterly wasted at [the Lord's] coming" [D&C 2:3].)
How have you been blessed by the restoration of the sealing power?
Explain that President Joseph Fielding Smith noted that the Kirtland Temple "was built primarily for the restoration of keys of authority. In the receiving of these keys the fulness of gospel ordinances [was] revealed" (Doctrines of Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. [1954–56], 2:242). The President of the Church and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles continue to exercise these priesthood keys today.
Write the following incomplete statement on the board: The keys of missionary work, eternal families, and temple work help us to …
Invite students to read Doctrine and Covenants 110:11–16 silently, looking for how they might complete this principle.
According to these verses, why are missionary work, eternal families, and temple work necessary? (As students respond, complete the statement on the board. Their answers should reflect the following principle: The keys of missionary work, eternal families, and temple work help us to prepare for the Lord's Second Coming.)
To help students understand this doctrine, assign each group one of the following questions to ponder: (1) How does missionary work prepare people for the Lord's Second Coming? (2) How does the promise of eternal marriage and families prepare people for the Lord's Second Coming? (3) How does temple work prepare people for the Lord's Second Coming? After sufficient time, ask a student from each group how he or she would answer the questions.
Write the following questions on the board, and invite students to answer them in their class notebooks or scripture study journals:
How have you been blessed because of the priesthood keys that have been restored?
What can you do to help someone else be blessed through one of these restored keys?
After sufficient time, invite students to discuss their thoughts with a partner. Consider sharing how your life has been blessed because these priesthood keys have been restored.
Commentary and Background Information
Doctrine and Covenants 110:10. "The fame of this house shall spread to foreign lands"
President Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained:
"[In 1836] the Lord prophesied that the 'fame of this house shall spread to foreign lands.' (D&C 110:10.) That, under the circumstances then existing, was at best improbable. The Church members were but a handful of Saints living and scattered in the rural areas of a new land. But despite the persecution and struggles and trials of those early days, there are congregations now spread literally across the world, and tens of thousands of missionaries bear witness at every door where they are welcome" (The Holy Temple [1980], 135).
Doctrine and Covenants 110:11. The gathering of Israel
President Joseph Fielding Smith explained: "Moses held the keys of the gathering of Israel. He led Israel out of Egypt into the land of Canaan. It was his appointment in this dispensation to come and restore those keys for the modern gathering" (Church History and Modern Revelation, 2 vols. [1953], 2:48). Soon after this vision in the Kirtland Temple, the Prophet Joseph Smith exercised these keys to begin gathering Israel from all parts of the world. For example, in 1837 Elder Heber C. Kimball, Elder Orson Hyde, and other missionaries were sent to England, where they helped gather nearly 2,000 souls to the restored Church of Jesus Christ through their preaching.
Doctrine and Covenants 110:13. The return of Elijah
"This great day of visions and revelation occurred on Easter Sunday, 3 April 1836 [see the section introduction to Doctrine and Covenants 110]. What better day in the dispensation of the fulness of times to reconfirm the reality of the Resurrection? That weekend was also the Jewish Passover. For centuries Jewish families have left an empty chair at their Passover feasts, anticipating Elijah's return. Elijah has returned—not to a Passover feast, but to the Lord's temple in Kirtland" (Church History in the Fulness of Times Student Manual, 2nd ed. [Church Educational System manual, 2003], 167).
Doctrine and Covenants 110:13–16. The sealing keys turn the hearts of fathers and children
President James E. Faust of the First Presidency taught:
"In my opinion, members of the Church have the most effective cure for our decaying family life. It is for men, women, and children to honor and respect the divine roles of both fathers and mothers in the home. In so doing, mutual respect and appreciation among the members of the Church will be fostered by the righteousness found there. In this way, the great sealing keys restored by Elijah, spoken of by Malachi, might operate 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers, lest the whole earth be smitten with a curse.' (D&C 110:15; Mal. 4:6.) …
"Perhaps we regard the power bestowed by Elijah as something associated only with formal ordinances performed in sacred places. But these ordinances become dynamic and productive of good only as they reveal themselves in our daily lives. Malachi said that the power of Elijah would turn the hearts of the fathers and the children to each other. The heart is the seat of the emotions and a conduit for revelation. (See Mal. 4:5–6.) This sealing power thus reveals itself in family relationships, in attributes and virtues developed in a nurturing environment, and in loving service. These are the cords that bind families together" ("Father, Come Home," Ensign, May 1993, 37).
Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles taught:
"This restoration [of priesthood keys] was accompanied by what is sometimes called the Spirit of Elijah—a manifestation of the Holy Ghost bearing witness of the divine nature of the family" ("A New Harvest Time," Ensign, May 1998, 34).

Hey guys I'm posting my 2005 CTS-V for sale. I bought it off a good friend of mine who had all the work done on it. No expense was spared on this beauty. Car currently has 43,xxx on it and will vary a little bit as I drive it regularly. Car drives great and turns heads everywhere it goes.
It currently is plastidiped white with black wheels, but really is a black car with silver wheels. Paint underneath is in great condition as this car was not daily driven. The only reason it was plastidiped was for a different look and it actually has been serving as a protecting layer over top of the black paint to keep everything nice and fresh. Interior is in excellent shape with tan leather with suede inserts, factory NAV, sunroof, factory bose system w/ sub,
Dual power and heated seats etc etc.
As far as mods here's the list:
-RPM 3 Cam W/ Supporting Mods
-Kooks Long Tube Headers- No Cats
-Corsa Exhaust (sounds amazing)
-FAST 92MM Intake Manifold
-FAST Fuel Rails W/ 42lbs Injectors

Best Of :: People & Places
It's not even one of the official canoe trails designated by the state, but some of those you're not allowed to use anyway, like the one downtown on the Trinity River. White Rock Creek north (upstream) from White Rock Lake has the appeal of some bushwhacking, getting out where you don't need no stinkin' official canoe trail, thank you. Half a mile up White Rock Creek, after you paddle under Northwest Highway, it splits. Jackson Branch comes in on your right, flowing down from northeast, and White Rock Creek, which is bigger, continues on up northwest. Unless it's right after a big rain, paddling upstream is easy. Is there trash? Oh, yeah. But there are wonderful little oxbows and side channels, too, where there is very little trash and where you're surrounded by verdure and bird song, with the sounds of the city far, far away. This is a place where you can go explore, right in the heart of the city. How can you beat that?
Do we need to add to what we said in previous Best of Dallas write-ups, or the People Issue love we showed for the guys behind The Texas Theatre's revival? A refresher: the so-bad-they're-good genre flicks at Tuesday Night Trash; the bar; the arthouse films you won't see anywhere else; the bar; the revival of past classics; the bar; the Oak Cliff Film Festival; the bar. For us, seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark on 35mm was enough to seal a repeat victory.
The Mavs may have had a disappointing 2011-2012 season, but Delonte West's toughness and dogged defensive play were a highlight, and we're glad to hear he'll be returning for basketball reasons alone. But his unique personality has made his off-the-court presence especially refreshing. His Twitter account is always entertaining, whether he's tweeting pictures of his own vomit or urging Deron Williams to come help bring another championship title to Dallas. He teaches young ballers in charity basketball clinics, despite coming to the team so broke that he had to sleep in the locker room and had to work for a furniture-moving company during the lockout — very humbling, considering he's made millions over his career. Yet he kept his head up despite the troubling circumstances and has proved to be a great example of how to live with bipolar disorder even under the media spotlight.
Jason Kidd, the 39-year-old point guard who helped lead the Mavericks to their championship in 2011, shocked Dallas July 5 when he signed a three-year contract with the New York Knicks for $9.5 million — just half a million more than what the Mavs reportedly offered. Ten days later, at about 2 a.m. on July 15, he crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a utility pole and was subsequently arrested on drunken-driving charges after he refused a blood-alcohol test. Even more delicious, the wreck knocked out cable in the neighborhood — cable that was supplied by a company of which Knicks owner James Dolan is president and CEO. We're glad he wasn't seriously injured, of course, but will have to admit to enjoying a bit of schadenfreude over the incident.
In the days leading up to the NFL opener, it was said, somewhere on the AM dial, that the Cowboys would struggle to contain the Giants' offense because the Cowboys had "no pass rush." It was an understandable assessment, given their inability to so much as breathe on Eli Manning last season. But then the season opener came, and we all remembered: DeMarcus Ware. He bull-rushed his way to 19.5 sacks last season, helping the Cowboys amass the seventh-most sacks in the league — as many as the vaunted San Francisco 49ers — and he racked up two in this season's opener. He is the best in the league at one of its most important positions, especially in the era of 40 pass attempts a game. If the quarterback is back there throwing — and he so often is nowadays — Ware will be back there with him, right where the Cowboys need him.
After just three seasons with the Dallas Stars, Jamie Benn has already flown up the ranks to become the face of the franchise. Not since Mike Modano rode his feathered mullet into town have we seen a player with such skill lace up for the celestial skaters. Benn has seen his point totals increase with each season, and with another year of experience and salty vets Ray Whitney and Jaromir Jagr coming aboard this year, "Benner" could be poised for a true breakout. His combination of finesse and brute strength are not often found on the rink, making him a lethal force and the embodiment of the team's pesky attitude. Speaking of pesky, Benn had an appendectomy last season, so now there is nothing holding the British Columbian back from ultimate hockey glory.

Bill's retired and lives alone. Often he's just not hungry or is too tired to fix a whole meal. Does he need a multivitamin, or should he take one of those dietary supplements he sees in ads everywhere? Bill wonders if they work—will one help keep his joints healthy or another give him more energy? And, are they safe?
Dietary supplements are substances you might use to add nutrients to your diet [1] or to lower your risk of health problems, like osteoporosis or arthritis [2]. Dietary supplements come in the form of pills, capsules, powders, gel tabs, extracts, or liquids. They might contain vitamins, minerals, fiber, amino acids, herbs or other plants, or enzymes. Sometimes, the ingredients in dietary supplements are added to foods, including drinks. A doctor's prescription is not needed to buy dietary supplements.
Do you need one? Maybe you do, but usually not. Ask yourself why you think you might want to take a dietary supplement. Are you concerned about getting enough nutrients? Is a friend, a neighbor, or someone on a commercial suggesting you take one? Some ads for dietary supplements in magazines or on TV seem to promise that these supplements will make you feel better, keep you from getting sick, or even help you live longer. Sometimes, there is little, if any, good scientific research supporting these claims. Dietary supplements may give you nutrients that might be missing from your daily diet. But eating a variety of healthy foods [3] is the best way to get the nutrients you need. Supplements may cost a lot, could be harmful, or simply might not be helpful. Some supplements can change how medicines you may already be taking will work. You should talk to your doctor [4] or a registered dietitian for advice.
People over 50 may need more of some vitamins and minerals [5] than younger adults do. Your doctor or a dietitian can tell you whether you need to change your diet or take vitamins or minerals to get enough of these:
You might hear about antioxidants in the news. These are natural substances found in food that might help protect you from some diseases. Here are some common sources of antioxidants that you should be sure to include in your diet:
Right now, research results suggest that large doses of supplements with antioxidants will not prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease [10] or diabetes [11]. In fact, some studies have shown that taking large doses of some antioxidants could be harmful. Again, it is best to check with your doctor before taking a dietary supplement.
Herbal supplements are dietary supplements that come from plants. A few that you may have heard of are gingko biloba, ginseng, echinacea, and black cohosh [12]. Researchers are looking at using herbal supplements to prevent or treat some health problems. It's too soon to know if herbal supplements are both safe and useful. But, studies of some have not shown benefits.
Scientists are still working to answer this question. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) checks prescription medicines [13], such as antibiotics or blood pressure medicines, to make sure they are safe and do what they promise. The same is true for over-the-counter drugs like pain and cold medicines.
But the FDA does not consider dietary supplements to be medicines. The FDA does not watch over dietary supplements in the same way it does prescription medicines. The Federal Government does not regularly test what is in dietary supplements. So, just because you see a dietary supplement on a store shelf does not mean it is safe, that it does what the label says it will, or that it contains what the label says it contains.
If the FDA receives reports of possible problems with a supplement, it will issue warnings about products that are clearly unsafe. The FDA may also take these supplements off the market. The Federal Trade Commission looks into reports of ads that might misrepresent what dietary supplements do.
A few private groups, such as the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), NSF International, ConsumerLab.com, and the Natural Products Association (NPA), have their own "seals of approval" for dietary supplements. To get such a seal, products must be made by following good manufacturing procedures, must contain what is listed on the label, and must not have harmful levels of things that don't belong there, like lead.
If you are thinking about using dietary supplements:
Here's what one active older person does:
When she turned 60, Pearl decided she wanted to stay healthy and active [15] as long as possible. She was careful about what she ate. She became more physically active [16]. Now she takes a long, brisk walk 3 or 4 times a week. In bad weather, she joins the mall walkers at the local shopping mall. On nice days, Pearl works in her garden. When she was younger, Pearl stopped smoking [17] and started using a seatbelt. She's even learning how to use a computer to find healthy recipes [18]. Last month, she turned 84 and danced at her granddaughter's wedding!
Try following Pearl's example—stick to a healthy diet [19], be physically active, keep your mind active, don't smoke, see your doctor regularly, and, in most cases, only use dietary supplements suggested by your doctor or pharmacist.

About Us
Our Mission
Popular Linguistics is a monthly online magazine with articles on linguistics- and language-based theory, news, application, findings, and field reports. Popular Linguistics is committed to diversity in its scope of reporting, covering both the scientific and applied sides of linguistics, while maintaining a neutral stance towards debates occurring within the field.
Popular Linguistics is aimed at a general, educated, scientifically-inclined audience — the same people who read Scientific American, Psychology Today, and Discover Magazine, for example. This kind of scientific reporting on language and linguistics is currently unavailable in a popular, non-specialist, form. The desire for this kind of reporting is widespread, however, as can be seen in frequent reports about findings in linguistics in magazines like Scientific American, Discover, and Science, not to mention the enormous following of Language Log.
If you'd like to know more, feel free to contact our Editor in Chief, DS Bigham, at: firstname.lastname@example.com

text: ARMONK, N.Y. and BOEBLINGEN, Germany, Dec. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced a project that will simplify electric vehicle (EV) charging and payment for consumers, regardless of their location. The operational demonstration, called the B2B Marketplace will allow energy providers, car manufacturers, and charging point owners to share and integrate services on one common IT platform. This will create a network of EV charging services that are compatible regionally in Europe. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO ) In an effort to increase electric vehicle adoption, the B2B Marketplace demonstration allows drivers to charge their vehicle and pay in any location across borders and geographies, regardless of their energy provider – an approach similar to international roaming for mobile phones. This project aims to allow cross network communication between multiple charging stations and various utility companies, in any territory. As a result, EV drivers can travel without the worry of being too far from an allocated charge post or one supported by their provider. Utilities will also benefit, as the IT platform provides interoperable standards and payment support, reducing potential management issues with financial settlement and international conversion. Part of the Green eMotion project, the initiative is funded by the European Union with the goal to establish a Europe-wide infrastructure for electric vehicles by 2015. This is part of the broader European Recovery Plan to reduce C02 emissions by 60 percent by the year 2050. "This marketplace will pave the way for the electromobility mass market in Europe. It allows for open access to charging spots throughout Europe thus making the journey with an e-car simple and convenient," said Dr. Heike Barlag, Siemens AG, Project Coordinator Green eMotion. Based on IBM software and IBM SmartCloud Enterprise, the project creates a scalable open-standards environment that enables manufacturers and service providers to link their various services according to consumer and industry requirements. Using analytic software, participants will also have the insight to develop new or improved services to support more electric vehicles as the market grows. Green eMotion partners such as Enel, SAP and Siemens developed the required EV services.

SE·STO on Arno Restaurant
Discover the undiscoverable
An iconic venue overlooking the city, an up and coming chef with Michelin background, a unique setting in the heart of Florence, all this makes SE·STO on Arno to establish its name in town and bring a new perspective on the Florentine dining scene thanks to Executive Chef Matteo Lorenzini and his team. Classic techniques are expertly mixed with contemporary execution, delivering elegant and essential dishes for foodies and culinary experts alike.
Rooftop iconic venue in the heart of Florence
The glass-plated sixth-floor SE·STO on Arno, like a trasparent jewellery box, affords breath-taking views as far as the horizon on Florence, its roofs, churches, bell towers, Ponte Vecchio and the picturesque Tuscan hills as a precious frame. The outside of the restaurant is equipped with two large terraces one dedicated to the restaurant and one to the bar.
The terrace facing the Arno River is covered by a veil of water combining SE·STO on Arno with the flow of the river and the amazing terrace overlooks the whole of Florence.
Matteo Lorenzini and his team
Already in 2014, a young and talented chef Matteo Lorenzini was awarded with his first Michelin star. His cuisine is a precious jewel cherished by the aesthetics of SE-STO on Arno, elegant and simple. Matteo's cuisine is a fruit of important culinary experiences, six years in France alongside great masters such as Alaine Ducasse and later discovery of Asian tastes in Singapore.
French-inspired, both classic and creative with Asian hints, his dishes bring an unconventional point of view of culinary traditions. A young and dynamic culinary team blows in the sails in this exciting and gratifying adventure.
A Florentine aperitif over the top
A viewpoint on the 6th floor, SE-STO on Arno bar provides a unique 360-degree over Florence, embracing the whole city, a cradle of the Renaissance. With the evoluton of a day, an ambiance of SE-STO on Arno penetrated with natural day light during the day, welcomes the soft evening glow over the city.
Sparkling and flickering lights within and outside of the venue, create an inimitable sense of being in an iconic place. This setting is matched with our extended cocktail list featuring both international classics, as well as signature cocktails with Sesto Senso cocktail being the one to watch out.

News, Disaster Management, ITU, Satellite, Myanmar: Controversy has marked the relief efforts in Myanmar's recent cyclone tragedy. One encouraging sign is that ITU satellite terminals are restoring vital communications links. The International Telecommunication Union has deployed 100 satellite terminals to help restore vital communication links in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis which hit Myanmar on May 2 with devastating effect in Yangon and the low-lying Irrawaddy delta region.
Thousands were killed, and thousands more are injured and missing. High winds cut electricity and destroyed roads and communications links, hampering the coordination and delivery of assistance. With the restoration of communication links, designated government officials and other humanitarian agencies are able to more efficiently coordinate relief operations. The mobile terminals are easily transported by road and air to be used both by humanitarian workers and the victims of this disaster.
"I am very disturbed by the high frequency of disasters across the globe," said Sami Al Basheer Al Morshid, Director of ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau. "This particular disaster, like the tsunami of 2004, struck on a weekend when most of the agencies that could provide assistance least expected it." Expressing his deep condolences to the government and people of Myanmar, Mr Al Basheer said: "I am however, heartened by the fact that ITU was one of the very first agencies to arrive in Myanmar with telecommunications resources."

Summer has ended and it's back to serious work for most of us. So for me this means first rebuilding my support forums. My old ones were based on Vanilla ( even posted a tutorial for that one ) but there were two main problems :
- does not fit or integrate with the main site which is wordpress based
- verification was done once which means a buyer who purchased one item had access to all of the items forums
So I decided to go a new way. With BuddyPress this time. Advantages:
- does fit with the main site
- individual item verification with feedback on the profile page on which areas you already have access -> http://cl.ly/image/3a1Q231q2M31
- possibility to run for duplicate keys => ban because all keys are stored in the db
You can check my site's support link for a quick demo
What you will need:
- a buddypress compatible theme
- envato marketplaces wrapper by Jeffrey Way
To action:
Just paste this into your bp/bpt-functions.php -> http://pastie.org/4919196 All you have to do now is to create a misc folder on your theme folder and inside that folder a dzssupport folder. Inside that last folder copy the Envato_marketplaces.php from the envato wrapper and the config.php.
The wrapper file is the same, but the config.php is a little different, it needs your data + the ids of the items you integrate in the forum and groups names
<?php /** * Make sure to rename this to config.php */ $dzssupport_config = array(); $dzssupport_config['username'] = 'ZoomIt'; $dzssupport_config['api_key'] = 'ddd'; $idsandforums = array( array( 'id' => '80610', 'forum' => 'DZS Video Gallery', ), array( 'id' => '157782', 'forum' => 'DZS WordPress Video Gallery', ), array( 'id' => '2536611', 'forum' => 'DZS WordPress Timeline Slider', ), );
Hope this helps somebody.
Hmm, I've never thought of this it's actually a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
I am currently in the middle of getting a system built around Kayako for Support and the knowledge base. But this actually seems like a better idea.

Our baby is due in June, and we have a fairly small house consisting of a living room and dining room that flow into each other, a smallish kitchen, two good-sized bedrooms (one for us and one will be for the baby), one tiny bedroom that serves as combination wardrobe/mini-office, and a bathroom. Our basement and attic are unfinished.
I would very much like to raise our daughter as TV-free until at least age five. My husband is a huge movie lover, and I certainly would like him to feel free to share this interest with her one day, but not before age five. He is fine with this. I like movies pretty well, and I like some TV, too, but I am more willing to go without it for myself than he is; I'd be happy just watching an occasional thing on my laptop.
Our TV is in the living room. We don't have cable, but we have Netflix Watch Instantly, and I know that children as young as three are able to navigate systems like this. Of course, she will be supervised and prevented from doing so, but I would like it better if the TV weren't in the main area where the family will spend our waking time. I'm at a loss, however, for where else to put it. I suggested moving it to our bedroom, but my husband told me that when he has had a TV in the bedroom, it has caused insomnia, a problem he overcame a few years ago in part by moving the TV. We don't have the money to finish our attic or basement to turn either into a TV room. Putting it in storage for five years seems like an option that would be cruel to my husband, since he enjoys watching movies so much.
My best idea so far is to get a TV stand that, unlike our simple one, has sides and doors that can be closed, hiding the TV. Naturally, a three year old doesn't even need to be as clever as the one who can figure out Watch Instantly to manage to get the doors open, but it might put the TV somewhat out of mind.
What do you think about this? Do you have any other ideas, or comments on our situation?
The cupboard with doors idea, works well and looks nice. The only other thing I can suggest is when you do have TV back in the house have it plugged into a power strip so you can switch off the power, so some days the TV just doesn't work I find that kids don't argue with a "malfunction"
I would play it by ear though..we were a limited TV family and sometimes a wholesome kid video will save your mental health
The laptop sounds like a good option to me if it has decent speakers. We use a projector and roll up the screen til the end of the day, but find it does not reduce our screen time. If your kids never see it from the start they won't ask for it, switching the power to the TV off or closing the cabinet 100% of the time they're awake could work well.
I'm thinking about raising my child in a TV free home, or at least limiting how much they can watch. Although giving it more thought, I would rather prefer them watching movies on DVD etc as opposed to television. Going back to how I was raised, watching the odd disney movie on the VCR never hurt.
we do this. i do think the insomnia problem is only if you have cable, etc. which we don't and you said you don't intend to...we have an old tv cabinet/wardrobe thing, which you can find super cheap on craigslist since people are using their flatscreens so much on the walls these days, ours is in the bedroom. we only watch after our 2yo is asleep, though we turn the volume down and use the captions. she has yet to figure out that there is a movie machine behind the cabinet doors, and she's pretty perceptive. it helps that she can't reach the doors either. it's working well for us this way.
Is it getting lonely in the echo chamber yet?
Thanks, all! Hildare, that's a good point about being able to get TV cabinets cheaply now that people are so into wall mounting.
My husband is an actor and movie lover, and I never watched TV before meeting him and didn't want to expose our child to TV before 2, and much at all after that. If we had started out in a 2 BD, I might have put the TV in our bedroom or anywhere else, not the main living space, but with a child under 2 it was actually *very* easy to just never turn the TV on when he was awake. After bedtime, we could watch a movie, which was a nice indoor date when combined with our favorite take out!
Yes, now that he's older he knows how to work the TV and I have to be more firm about limits, but he seems to accept the limits pretty readily. There's still never any random TV on when he's awake. If the TV is on, it's a specific show I got from netflix for him to watch (Thomas the train or Sesame Street or something) and it's short and limited and I get to make dinner or do some chore I can't figure out how to do without him. (Or now that I'm pregnant, take a quick cat nap on a Sunday).
I think if you just keep the basic rule that TV isn't on when he's awake for the first few years, it's not that hard to have your husband watch TV after bedtime. Early bedtimes are wonderful for many reasons. :-)
consider getting rid of the tv entirely, and just using a lap top for the occasional movie watching. The laptop can be kept put away so that TV isn't always front and center in your room. That's what we do. It works fine! And an added benefit is that with it put away, you don't turn it on as much.
We only have dvd's or Netflix instant viewing.
We have our tv, game system, games and dvd's in an armoire in the living room. We got it free from someone who was moving. I think it really helps to have doors that close.
When dh and I want to watch something without dd we often watch it on the laptop or desktop computer in our bedroom or dh's attic retreat.
I remember someone who put their tv on a cart so they could store it in the closet and wheel it out only when they wanted to watch something. Maybe that could be a good solution for you.
Kim ~mom to one awesome dd (12)
This. My husband did this with his tv before he moved in with me. It has definite advantages.

I think your gut is pointing you in the right direction. Anyhow, I would always choose to err on the side of responsibility with my weapons--and kin.
This is a discussion on Handgun possession in Kansas Age Question within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; My brother called me today with a question that I think I know the answer to, but Im going to throw it out here for ...
My brother called me today with a question that I think I know the answer to, but Im going to throw it out here for other opinions. He likes to go out shooting with me whenever he can. But since he turned 18 a couple months ago he has been going out with a couple of his friends to shoot. As far as I know they have just been shooting shotguns out at our parents land. Hes asked me to take my AR out a few times, and I let him. Today he asked me if sometime when they go out if he can use one of my pistols. I told him that I wasn't sure If that would be ok If there is no one over 21 with him, but I would check and let him know. I talked to a couple of my friends that are in the sheriff's department because were they are going to be shooting is in their jurisdiction. They seemed to act like it wouldn't be an issue in thier opinion. So then, I decided befor I called my bro back, I'd run it past my sergeant. He told me that if he wasn't 21 that he would get a weapons charge if he was caught with it. So, as you can see, I have conflicting opinions and am not sure what to say. Right now, Im thinking I'll tell him to wait tell I can go with them. What do you all think?
I think your gut is pointing you in the right direction. Anyhow, I would always choose to err on the side of responsibility with my weapons--and kin.
I think he'ld be OK if one of your sheriff friends caught your brother because they know you, but otherwise he's open to a weapons charge. I believe a person has to be 21 in order to own &/or possess a firearm, unless they have permission from the Chief of police or Sheriff of that jurisdiction.
My current Dept. has had a few guys start with us before they turned 21. They needed written consent from the Chief to purchase their firearm & be able own & carry it.

I used to drive to High School with a loaded Model 19 Revolver in the truck.
It was legal because it was in a holster and I had my parent's permission. Try that now and I'd be doing time. It all depends on your State's laws. Now, even in my State, an "adult over the age of 21" must accompany a minor in possesion of a handgun.
Personally, I know it's your Brother and all, I'd not loan him any guns and only let him shoot them under my supervision. That's just me. I know very few people that I would trust enough to loan a gun to. The legal liability I would exspose myself to is too ENORMOUS to even consider.
In Indiana we issue CCW permits and give handguns to 18 year olds.
Like was previously stated, it depends on the state.
There is no federal statute to the best of my knowledge dealing with this.
I was running around with a handgun when I was 16, but this was on my parents' property and was legal. If I had taken it off of my property I would have been illegal.
I think the safest bet is to take a look at your CCW permit laws and the legal age to get one. I wouldn't transport a pistol without one; in fact, in Indiana, it's illegal to do so except in a couple instances.

Go to google and type in ".............. gun laws" fill in the blank with your state. It is very important that you know the laws of your state. A internet forum is no place to get this info. the folks giving it won't be in court with you if their wrong. I know everyone means well and the majority of the time their info is accurate, but there is no substitute for reading the laws for yourself, and then pass them on to friends that have guns.
When Seconds Count, The Cops Are Just Minutes Away!!

Kansas State Annoted 21-4204a has the answer.
Your brother should be ok. However he may want to get a print out of the statute just in case. As you have already learned LEOs are not always well versed in firearms laws. They have a lot of laws to know and be aware of, and the details of firearms laws aren't always high on their lists. So being right doesn't mean he won't be arrested.
Procrastinators are the leaders of tomorrow.
For CCW in Kansas, must be 21 or over.
A person is justified in the use of deadly force, if such person reasonably believes deadly force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to such person or a third person.
There are a lot of jurisdictions where some gun laws in Kansas are not enforced. Here out in western Kansas, we don't understand why the people in the eastern part of the state are so strict on guns. We have them in our pickups, cars, CCW and it is not unusual for kids going out to shoot with their 22's and walking to the site. They would be arrested elswhere. Steve48
Because the closer you get to the idiots in Topeka that are running this state, the more stupid simple things get.

Thanks Scott for the info, I looked at the statute and It seems like he would be ok. Im surprised that my sergeant wasn't aware of this statute, but I wasn't either. I've yet to deal with a situation like this so thats the reason I didn't know. If I were to pull someone over under the age of 21 in wichita that had a handgun, chances are it would be loaded, and they would be taking a trip to county anyway. Plus a fact, Im just LE, not an attorney, so you can't expect me to know all the laws, as scott mentioned. I found a document similar to the one you found Scott through the NRA. The only problem was that at the end, it had a disclaimer stating that It couldn't be used as legal defense, or something to that effect. Also, my brother is not trying to 'carry', he is just wanting to take one out to shoot targets. I already know he can't get his CCW until he is 21. So what I've decided is Im going to print out that statute and tell him to put It in his glove box. Also Im going to give him one of my cards to give to a sheriff If he has a problem. I'll let him take one if he wants and hopefully it won't be an issue. Hes responsible and has been around guns alot with me, so I think he will be fine.
