Beyond the user : use and non-use in HCI
Satchell, Christine & Dourish, Paul (2009) Beyond the user : use and non-use in HCI. In OZCHI 2009 : Design: Open 24/7 : 21st Annual Conference of the Australian Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG) of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia (HFESA), 23-27 November 2009, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne.

For many, an interest in Human-Computer Interaction is equivalent to an interest in usability. However, using computers is only one way of relating to them, and only one topic from which we can learn about interactions between people and technology. Here, we focus on not using computers – ways not to use them, aspects of not using them, what not using them might mean, and what we might learn by examining non-use as seriously as we examine use.
Impact and interest:

If we lose Sunday it could get hotter still. Of course it may all just mean we remain the most exciting 8-8 team in the nfl.

by Dave Reneke
Wauchope, Australia (SPX) Jan 01, 2013
Summer in Australia is great for sky gazers. We have some of the best skies in the world full of bright stars, prominent constellations and fascinating celestial sights. Lots of budding astronomers get their start in January, using telescopes they got for a Christmas present.
Maybe you're one of them and need a target at which to point it, or perhaps you just want something to do on a warm, clear summer night. Here's a great suggestion, what about checking out the night sky? Really! Now is a great time to step outside and learn something about our Solar System and the Universe around you.
"Stargazing need not be complicated," said internationally recognised Australian astronomer Dave Reneke.
"If you can find the Moon, you're on your way to becoming a backyard astronomer" David is an astronomy lecturer, teacher, author, broadcaster and a feature writer for major Australian newspapers and Australasian Science magazine.
Nothing in the night sky is easier to study than the Moon. With no equipment, you can make out the 'face' and see subtle colour differences on the surface.
Binoculars or a small telescope will reveal stunning views of craters, especially on nights when the Moon is not full.
Many of these craters formed more than 4 billion years ago when asteroids and comet impacts were more common. Study the region where light and dark meet and shadows are deepest.
Equally as stunning and hard to miss at the moment is Venus shining brilliantly in the eastern sky, just before sunrise. Venus was called the 'goddess of love' in Greek mythology, but we know it better as the 'morning star'.
A small telescope will reveal an even more dazzling sight, Jupiter and his moons. You could see one, two, three or four pinpricks of light lined up in a row, very near the planet. They're the moons of Jupiter. Jupiter is readily visible as an oval disc in binoculars, and is an amazing sight in a small telescope. Look for it as a brilliant bright object almost overhead about 9pm.
Mars is easy to find during January too. It's that red coloured 'star' in the west just after sunset. Yellowish coloured Saturn rises in the east around midnight and has always been a telescopic favourite. Since 2009 the rings have been getting wider after being closed for so long as the planet tilts in its orbit. It takes Saturn a little more than 29 years, in Earth time, to orbit the Sun.
With any luck, you might catch a really cool meteor shower before dawn all this week.
Astronomers expect the 'Quadrantid' meteor shower to put on an especially good display for early risers when the sky is clear.
The best time should be 3-6 a.m., when you might spot a dozen of meteors an hour. Because you don't need telescopes or other equipment, observing meteor showers is a great social activity. Relax in a reclining lawn chair and look up. Bring a thermos of hot tea or coffee and snacks and make it a party.
Whether you view the night sky with your naked eye, binoculars, or a telescope Dave said, there are a few tips to enhance the experience. A dark location is always helpful. No matter how much light surrounds you, more is always worse.
Turn off any lights you can. Also, allow 15 minutes or more for your eyes to adapt to the darkness; you'll soon see more.
If you're having a little trouble using your telescope, don't worry. It takes a bit of practice to point the telescope at objects you want to see. So before you give up, head to Dave's website www.davidreneke.com for some help and free advice.
Oh, and if you get this silly urge to wave up at the astronauts when you are watching the International Space Station pass over you ... give in. I do it every time. How do you see it? Just visit www.heavens-above.com, choose your city from the database, and you'll be able to get all the information you need to spot the space station and a few satellites zooming over your house.

Research Coordination Networks (RCN) in Biological Sciences
Directorate for the Biological Sciences
The goal of the Research Coordination Networks in Biological Sciences (RCN) program is to encourage and foster interactions among scientists to create new research directions or advance a field. Innovative ideas for implementing novel networking strategies are especially encouraged. Groups of investigators will be supported to communicate and coordinate their research, training and educational activities across disciplinary, organizational, institutional, and geographical boundaries. The proposed networking activities should have a theme as a focus of its collaboration. The focus could be on a broad research question, a specific group of organisms, or particular technologies or approaches. Support will be provided for groups of investigators to communicate and coordinate their research efforts across disciplinary, organizational, institutional and geographical boundaries. The objectives are to facilitate open communication and exchange of information and resources, to integrate research activities of scientists working independently on topics of common interest, to nurture a sense of community among young scientists, and to minimize isolation and maximize cooperation so as to eliminate unnecessary duplication of efforts.
SUPPORT PROVIDED: NSF anticipates that approximately $1.2 million will be available for approximately 5-10 awards in FY 2006. Awards range in size from $50,000 - $100,000 and award duration is up to five years. Cost sharing is not required in proposals submitted under this program solicitation.

International Travel for Human Frontier Science Program
Funding for work in a research institution in another country or to bring a colleague from another country to work with you at your research institution.
Human Frontier Science Program Organization Short-Term Fellowships
Application online now - Applications accepted throughout the year
The Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) supports basic research focused on elucidating the complex mechanisms of living organisms. Emphasis is placed on novel, innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to basic research that involve scientific exchanges across national boundaries. In particular, HFSP encourages research into biological problems involving approaches and knowledge from different disciplines such as chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, material sciences, because significant new ideas, techniques and discoveries often arise at the boundaries between disciplines. In addition to its international, and especially intercontinental character, the HFSP places emphasis on supporting researchers who are early in their careers and who are expected to play an important role in generating and pursuing original research. Short-term Fellowships enable researchers to move into new areas by learning state-of-the-art techniques in use abroad or by establishing new research collaborations. These fellowships can last from two weeks to three months in a foreign country. To be eligible, a fellow must either come from or go to a member country.
SUPPORT PROVIDED: Fellowships provide round-trip travel expenses to the host institution and living expenses, which vary according to country. The length of time requested for the fellowship must be justified on the basis of need to perform experiments, learn techniques or to use facilities which are only available at the host institution.
APPLICANT INFORMATION: A scientist from one of the eligible countries (currently Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America) can apply for a Short-Term Fellowship to work in a research institution in any other country. A candidate from a noneligible country may apply to work in a research institution in any of the eligible countries. To be from one of the eligible countries is defined as being a national (not a permanent resident) of one of these countries. Applicants are expected to have a doctoral degree (Ph.D.) or equivalent experience in research at the time of application. Preference will be given to young investigators at an early stage of their careers. Applicants must have adequate language skills to carry out their proposed research at the host institution. Short-Term Fellowships are not intended to enable researchers solely to attend workshops, courses or symposia; nor are they intended to provide an opportunity to write papers, books or reviews. Short-Term Fellowships are not awarded as extensions to existing fellowships from other organizations.

OV has post on its board of adjustment
The Town of Oro Valley is seeking applications for volunteers to fill one position on the town's board of adjustment.
The two-year term expires Dec. 31, 2012. Applicants must be residents of the town of Oro Valley, a town release said.
The board of adjustment is a quasi-judicial board that has "the power to review and decide on administrative decisions or zoning requirements that create unnecessary hardships in the development of property because of exceptional or extraordinary conditions," the release said. "Unlike other boards or commissions, the board of adjustment makes the final decision on items that come before it."
It meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 3 p.m.
Applications for the board of adjustment are available at the Oro Valley Town Hall, 11000 N. La Cañada Drive, or at the Town Clerk's website, http://www.orovalleyaz.gov/Town_Government/Town_Clerk/volunteer_opportunities.htm.
Applications will be taken until the position is filled.
Tucson Arizona Mass choir gives its Christmas concert Dec. 12
Tucson Arizona Mass Choir, under the direction of Dorothy C. Reid, is celebrating its 11th anniversary and presenting its annual Christmas concert on Sunday, Dec. 12.
The free concert begins at 4 p.m. at St. Mark's Presbyterian Church, 3809 E. 3rd Street.
Light refreshments are provided following the event.
Stargazing nights on Kitt Peak this Friday through Sunday
The Kitt Peak National Observatory Visitor Center is offering stargazing nights for the general public on the WIYN 0.9-meter (36-inch) research telescope.
This rare event, offered in conjunction with the WIYN consortium and the Kitt Peak National Observatory Visitor Center, is available at night this Friday through Sunday Nov. 26-28.
The 0.9-meter telescope was one of the first research telescopes on Kitt Peak. It was built in 1962, and is used primarily for research that demands a wide-field view of the sky. The telescope is often outfitted with the NOAO Mosaic camera, which gives it a 1-degree field of view — equal to the apparent size of two full moons. Many of the most famous poster-quality images from Kitt Peak have been taken with the 0.9-meter telescope, a release said.
Nights on the 0.9-meter telescope begin with dinner at 5:30 p.m., a tour of the 0.9-meter facility, an overview of the night sky, and plenty of time looking at various objects through an eyepiece on the telescope.
Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. The per-person cost for this rare night of stargazing is $120 per person, to include transportation to and from the mountain from a central location in Tucson, a sit-down dinner at the Kitt Peak Dining Hall, and a night of stargazing.
Call 520-318-8726 to reserve your spot.

Firm gathers Thanksgiving food for needy
A Marana business has been conducting a Thanksgiving food drive, offering a free chiropractic exam and X-rays to people who donate food.
Tompkins Family Chiropractic, located at 7620 N. Hartman Lane, was able to provide meals for 83 local families last year.
"With your continued support, we hope to provide Thanksgiving dinner for even more families of the wonderful town of Marana," a company flyer indicates.
The company has been collecting, and continues to gather, instant potatoes, stuffing, canned vegetables, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, olives, pickles, nuts, heat-and-serve rolls and dessert choices. It suggests a $15 cash donation toward turkey, eggs, butter, fresh vegetables and seasonings.
"Our community has many families that are struggling to make ends meet, especially during the holidays," the flyer reads. "In America, one in six people don't know where their next meal is coming from. Help us make sure that this year, our neighbors don't go without Thanksgiving dinner."
The business may be reached at 572-2596.
Fundraiser scheduled to aid officer
Area public safety officials have asked for assistance in raising money for a police office undergoing cancer treatment.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hello, Thank you for using this service, I will be helping you with your problem today,
good afternoon , what part of the dispenser did this get caught in ? can you tell me from this diagram ?
It fell down the front left corner dispenser that's labeled "Detergent."
OK. Are the clips under the control panel? As I'm facing the washer, do I open the washer door and slide the putty knife through or do it with the door closed. It seems pretty tight either way.
ok. I got the lid raised and removed the plastic dispenser form. I could see the chain at the bottom between the inner and outer basket. I tried to catch it with a long claw-thing but couldn't grab it. Any suggestions?
this is a huge job, theres no video for that unfortunately. you would need to take the cap off in the middle and then the bolts under that to get the agitator and wash plate out. then the hub. until the inner drum is loose then lift it out. this is a big job but with the diagram I sent you , you should be able to do it.
I GOT THE CHAIN!!! I moved the drum around until I could see the chain clearly and tried again with my claw extension thingy and it grabbed it! Thank you so much for your help. I never would have figured out how to open that washer. My husband will be so proud of me!!
Have a great weekend. You've made mine so much better! God bless you!
Thats Great ! good job ! Please don't forget to rate me 3 or above so I get credit for helping you. thanks and best wishes, Bryan

Uta: Cordelia, you just published a review article in Science, His brain, her brain? where you argue that it is far harder to interpret gender differences in the brain than people think. And it's a call for more rigorous science in the field. Now, your paper with Gina Rippon, Rebecca Jordan-Young and Anelis Kaiser earlier this year lays out in some detail what rigorous research designs would actually involve. I would love to know a bit more about why you wrote it.
Mary Cassatt (1878) Woman reading Le Figaro: Courtesy of www,marycassatt.org
Cordelia: We wanted to write something positive about how research in this area could be done better, so we got together to write a paper that would be helpful to researchers, editors, reviewers and science communicators. We wanted to make a constructive contribution. After all, there has been a lot of controversy in this area,
Continue reading Neurosexism: A conversation with Cordelia Fine
Cordelia: Happily, the perspectives are definitely not that polarized. One thing that's worth stressing though is that criticisms of this area of research don't stem from a belief that it's intrinsically problematic to look at the effects of biological sex on the brain. But implicit assumptions about female/male differences in brain and behavior do influence research design and interpretation. They do this in ways that can give rise to misleading conclusions that additionally reinforce harmful gender stereotypes.
Uta: It would be strange to rule out this type of research on the grounds that it is bound to reinforce gender stereotypes. We can be aware of their influence and take them into account. But we need to be fearless when we read Nature's book. It does not always tell us what we'd like to hear. I worry about our tendency to be ultra-critical when the findings are against our fondly held beliefs. But isn't science exactly about being able to overturn fondly held beliefs?
Cordelia: I certainly agree that we shouldn't rule out particular kinds of research because we may not like the conclusions. The concern is with conclusions that are unwarranted – an issue of 'scientific correctness' rather than 'political correctness' – and the goal is not to be ultra-critical, but to make visible the implicit assumptions that are guiding research.
Uta: We tend to be less critical when a paper appears in a prestigious journal because we can assume that there has been a stringent peer review process. You discuss the controversial Ingalhalikar et al.'s structural connectome article published in 2013 in PNAS – a reputable journal.
Cordelia: This article measured brain connectivity in a large sample of 8-22 year olds, and found greater intra-hemispheric connectivity in males and inter-hemispheric connectivity in females, on average.
Uta: This sounds like a good sort of gender difference, at first glance it has nothing to do with a gender bias, but it certainly is grist to the essentialist mill. I remember when I first read this paper I was thinking, so there is now some evidence for an essentialist type sex difference, and we can start to think what it means.
Cordelia: In our article, we make the case that researchers are often working from an implicit 'gender essentialist' model, that assumes that the brains and psyches of females and males are highly distinct, and differences between them are natural, fixed and invariant across time and place. This subtly influences research design and interpretation, and the Ingalhalikar et al. study was a good example of exactly that.
Uta: So what's wrong with that?
Cordelia: In an earlier study, the researchers had reported behavioural sex differences in executive control, memory, reasoning, spatial processing, sensorimotor skills and social cognition. This was in a larger sample from which these participants were drawn. But these differences were very modest: 11 of the 26 effect sizes were null/d<0.1, and the largest was d=0.33. Yet despite the substantial behavioural similarity between the sexes, the researchers interpreted their anatomical findings as underlying profound behavioural differences between the sexes, without actually testing for brain-behaviour correlations.
Uta: And what did you think of their interpretation of the brain differences?
Cordelia: They speculated that "[m]ale brains are structured to facilitate connectivity between perception and coordinated action, whereas female brains are designed to facilitate communication between analytical and intuitive processing modes."
Uta: Perhaps they couldn't think of what else the differences could be due to.
Cordelia: There were two other possibilities they might have considered, but didn't, presumably because of the essentialist frame. One is that the female/male interconnectivity differences are a brain size effect, rather than a sex effect. As you know, the male brain is on average about ten per cent larger than the female brain. They also didn't pay any empirical or theoretical attention to the possible influence of gendered experiences on brain and behaviour. I happened to be sent the article by a journalist for comment, and I wrote back to her:
"Ironically, even though the research from this group provides strong evidence for behavioral similarities between the sexes, provides no evidence that any modest behavioral sex differences are associated with neurological ones, and offers no information about the developmental origins of either, we can probably anticipate that this article will soon be drawn on by popular commentators as evidence that 'hardwired' sex differences explain why men are from Mars and women are from Venus."
Uta: This is precisely what happened.
Cordelia: Yes. The front page of the Independent, for instance, headlined with "Scientists discover the difference between male and female brains: Study reveals variation in hardwiring which may explain skills gap between women and men".
It's worth pointing out though that this particular example was unusual for the role of the researchers themselves in making reference to 'hardwiring', and in making especially incautious reverse inferences to concepts far beyond any measured behaviours (like motherly intuition). Usually this is a job left to the popularizers.
Uta: Hardwiring usually means that there is a biological cause for a behaviour. But, as you say, it could be the other way round. The hardwiring could be a result of behavioural practice. There are plenty of examples of how learning changes the brain.
Cordelia: Yes, and long before the buzz about neuroplasticity, feminist neurobiologists were writing about this 'entanglement': the fact that the social phenomenon of gender (which systematically affects an individual's psychological, physical, social and material experiences) is literally incorporated, shaping the brain and endocrine system. One of the recommendations of our article is for researchers to attempt to incorporate the principle of entanglement into their research models, including more and/or different categories of independent variables that include ways of capturing the role of the environment.
Uta: We clearly need more thoughtful research in this area: You and your co-authors have made a very constructive start with your paper.
Cordelia Fine is the author of Delusions of gender. She is ARC Future Fellow at Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences and Associate Professor at the Melbourne Business School and the Centre for Ethical Leadership, University of Melbourne.

Banks on target for England
Women's friendly international:
England 2-1 Finland
Arsenal's Angela Banks hit her first international goal to give England victory in their final friendly before taking on the Ukraine in a two-leg Euro 2001 play-off.
With 11 Arsenal goals already to her name, Banks is comfortably the Women's Premier League's leading scorer.
After bagging a hat-trick in her team's 7-0 Premier League Cup hammering of Sunderland on Sunday, the 24 year old striker - making only her second international start - hit a 37th minute winner.
England started poorly, with Charlton goalkeeper Pauline Cope dropping a fourth-minute cross from Anna Virolainen, leaving striker Heidi Kackur with to shoot into an empty net from six yards.
Several other awkward moments followed as the England defence looked decidedly nervous.
But those nerves were calmed in the 15th minute, when Charlton's Tara Proctor crossed from the left for Doncaster Belles' winger Karen Burke to drill home a brilliantly struck first-time volley.
From that point England took control, though Cope was lucky to palm a 23rd minute shot by Sani Ylitalo onto the woodwork after misjudging the flight of the ball.
Banks and her Arsenal strike partner Marieanne Spacey, the latter making her 85th England appearance, both squandered good chances before Banks edged England in front.
Spacey headed on Tranmere winger Sue Smith's 37th minute corner and, when Proctor failed to force a close range shot over the line, Banks pounced to poke the ball into the net.
Spacey missed a fine 55th minute opportunity to increase the lead, shooting straight at substitute goalkeeper Sati Poltonen from a Banks cross. Then Banks shot wildly over the bar after Spacey had opened up the Finnish defence in the 66th minute.
The in-form Arsenal striker had to settle for just the one goal, but she was nevertheless delighted to open her England account.
"It was great for me to get that goal," she said. "I have started just the one game before, but I've had a few games as substitute so I needed to get a goal under my belt.
"The past couple of months have been great for me with Arsenal, and hopefully I can carry on scoring for England."
Coach Hope Powell was pleased with her team's performance as she looked ahead to October's first leg of the play-off tie against the Ukraine.
She said: "The girls realised how important this game was in the build up to the play-offs, and they were a bit anxious at the start of the game.
"But we turned it around and I felt the players did really well. It wasn't a perfect performance, but it's given us a good boost ahead of the games against the Ukraine."

Because the Catalina 36 is easily handled by a couple, has a big comfortable cockpit, a spacious interior with two private cabins and the integrity to pursue cruising dreams, many experienced sailors consider the Catalina 36 the perfect boat for their sailing lifestyle. The Catalina 36 MkII has all the important characteristics that made the original the most popular 36-foot sailboat in the world. The Mark II Catalina 36 is built in the same seakindly moderate displacement hull. It tracks surely and performs well in a variety of conditions. The deck is the classic trunk cabin configuration - proven, comfortable and functional. The main cabin and galley have received special attention to design and detail. The galley is a functional 'U' shape, with composite countertops, the sinks are near centerline for proper drainage underway. A large refrigerated ice box is aft and a dry food locker is forward. A gimballed, stainless steel LPG stove with oven is standard equipment. The main cabin can be arranged with a dinette or traditional table. The two seats and game table to starboard can be made into a settee or berth with the cushions provided. The entertainment center cabinet can be fitted with a stereo and concealed TV. The main cabin and all interior teak has the warmth and durability only obtained with multiple coats of varnish. The 36 has stainless steel hand rails and anodized spars, reducing maintenance on deck and extending the sailing season. The mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems have been re-engineered to increase dependability and accessibility. Engine access, for example, is excellent, with the one-piece, insulated enclosure removed. The hull is rugged, hand-laminated, solid fiberglass; the keel is lead with integrally cast stainless steel bolts. The mast is stepped through the deck on the keel and has inline spreaders and fore and aft lower shrouds, a sturdy arrangement that is easy to tune.

Abortion is murder. Period.

Post Content
Come unto me all who are heavy laden and I will refresh you. Matthew 11:28
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2
They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Matthew 23:4
We're all sinners. If we desire to bring people to Jesus, then we try to help them process it, and decide to ask for forgiveness. If we shove it in their face, then they recoil and are less likely to listen, much less recognize sin, and even more remotely ask for forgiveness.
The material is good. The delivery with that awful title is bad. There's nothing wrong with the material. I would urge you to pray for the Holy Spirit to intercede for you and help you use the best presentation. That was my only criticism.
Thank you for your heartfelt concern. However, sometimes it is simply necessary to call things what they are.
You never did respond to my question about which term you believe Jesus might use to refer to the procedure. In your opinion, what sin is being committed?
Anonymous Coward 30307430
All I know is that it's wrong. Anyone who studies medicine knows a fetus is human from conception. As such, the deliberate killing of a human. Murder is about intentions. So if you want to be legalistic, then an abortion could be murder depending upon the intention of the person doing it. Since persmission must be given, then the person who agreed to do it is also guity of that crime.
In the Ten Commandments it literally says Thou shall not murder. Soldiers were common in Israel. I wrote a long Christian apologetics on Self-Defense the other day. They killed not murder.
With abortion it's murky but the intention seems to be murder in my eyes. I won't condemn someone. I think it's a heinous process, cruel beyond belief in every method. It's essential an abrogation of responsibility.
Good birth control could eliminate almost all of of it. Good birth control can medically be taught. See my sig for that information especially birth control if the SHTF.
Is that the politically correct version..thoushalt not murder? I thought it was THOU SHALT NOT KILL
Anonymous Coward 32579126
No, that's a misconception. Read this. I wrote it recently. If you do some exegesis then you'll understand that word this used. I will blue bold the pertinent section. But read it all.
In the Ten Commandments, one verse says "Thou shall not kill" in some translations. The actual word is Ratsach in Hebrew and it means "to dash to pieces" or murder. Obviously since being a warrior or soldier was an aspect of all tribal or urban Jews, then God is not saying not to kill. Murder and kill are two entirely different things.
There were definitely soldiers in Israel. In those days, literally anyone could be a soldier in times of war or peace. In the Old Testament, there are times for peace and times for war.
Speaking of the "last days"...(the end of the ultimate time of humanity and the coming of a New Age of God's reign...not now.)
4And He will judge between the nations, and will render decisions for many peoples;and they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation,And never again will they learn war. Isaiah 2: 4
But in Joel, in times of war:
9 Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war! Rouse the warriors! Let all the fighting men draw near and attack. 10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weakling say, "I am strong!" 11 Come quickly, all you nations from every side, and assemble there. Bring down your warriors, O LORD! Joel 3: 9-11
There's actually a couple of places where several occupations or social status are discussed. Jesus doesn't say that they should quit their jobs. Aspects of their jobs might be to defend themselves.
And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. Luke 3:14
These men struggled with the precise same issues. They were Roman citizens from diverse places who were the muscle that supported the work of the Roman empire. And yet they understood despite their lack of education and differing cultural beliefs in the words of Jesus. Their jobs and their beliefs CLASHED. That's why they asked Him.
It doesn't say that the soldier should stop protecting themselves. The Greek word is diaseiste which means "oppress" actually. Don't oppress [any man is contextually understood but not in the Greek verse itself] would be a more accurate translation.
As a matter of fact, Jesus actually praises a certain Roman centurion, who was a profession Roman soldier who would have commanded at least 60 and up to 100 soldiers.
In the story of Matthew chapter 8, a Roman centurion recognizes that he's unworthy, probably because he was a gentile (not Jewish) and a soldier who was occupying Jesus' people. He might have felt guilty, not only because of his occupation but also because of the inherent violence of it.
And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him,6and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented."7Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."8But the centurion said, "Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.9"For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it."10Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel. Matthew 8: 5-10.
He doesn't tell him to stop commanding other soldiers either.
He did tell his disciples that he would be captured, tried, and killed. This foreshadows God's will for Jesus, for He was to be the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the whole world through Time for all people.
For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. Hebrews 10:14
21From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.22Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You."23But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's." Matthew 16: 21-23
When Peter tried to protect his Master, Jesus again rebukes him, and heals the soldier who was injured by Peter's action. This shows compassion, and shows that it's God's plan for Jesus (not all people) to be killed and made that sacrifice.
52Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?" Matthew 26: 52-54
Some Christians use this one verse to proclaim that we're not to use weapons, but that's not what it says. It says we will perish if we use them. In this case, it was God's plan for Jesus to be taken and Peter was specifically interfering. It's not necessarily for us concerning carrying weapons because in one case, Jesus specifically tells them they need a sword to fulfill prophesy.

Brand New - still in the box, Behr Electric Aux Fan.
Part Number Behr W0133-1662672
This is for anyone who wants to to do the Aux Swap and get rid of their mechanical fan.
I did the swap on my coupe a few years ago and it's still going strong, no issues with cooling at all.
Bought this a few months back to swap my wife's Mechanical fan on her e46, but we picked up an x5, so her e46 will be sold and I haven't had time to complete the swap.
$200 shipped or $175 picked up.
Sorry, no pic available as I haven't even opened up the box.
Still availalble, open to trades for Coupe and X5 items
So this is for a manual car?
Works on stepronic also. Was purchased for an auto and have one installed in my step. There's a huge diy thread on this mod.

Brought these for my grandson. Very nice shorts for the money.
I just bought the shorts and so far so good. The one thing I did not like was the drawstring was one piece and is short. So, it is really hard to tie in a slip not. I'm used to having two strings coming out and being long enough to tie in a bow. Outside if that, I bought two pairs and still spent half of what it would have cost for one of the big name brands.
I have all the colors. They fit well, cool during hot summers, dries super fast, stitches are tough, and well made. One that I don't like is the cheap belts. They come loose all the time. Be aware if you're planning to change out the belt. Some of shorts have build in belt so the cheap belts can not be removed and some of the shorts the belts can be removed. My suggestion is remove the old belt, put it in the trash can and use the old type belts, they are much better. Last the only way ... to tell if you can or can not remove the belt is, look at the back of the shorts and if you can not see the belt, than its non removable, of you can see the belt from the back side, it's removable type. Well hope this helps, happy fishing!
The shorts are cool when wearing them. They are lightweight. Wash great. They are true to size.
I am retired in a coastal area and so wear shorts daily. I discovered these shorts awhile back and they are now the only shorts I buy. They are made from heavy cloth and have pockets that are the right size for the things I carry. They also have a side pocket with elastic at the top that is perfect for an iphone. It isn't underneath me when I sit but is placed very conveniently for access. I only wish they came in more colors.
Most comfortable everyday shorts I have ever worn. Exact sizing, deep pockets, multiple pockets, and did I mention good looking. i now have 4 pairs.
He just put on his brand-new (washed) cargo shorts, and is loving life. There is even a pocket for his cell phone, so at least in the summer he won't have to wear it on his belt, where it catches. BTW, these shorts replaced a pair of four-year-old Lee cargo shorts. I know we get great quality when we shop here (and the sales are really great too!!). Thanks again Lee!
My son loves these shorts, but he has outgrown 29 and almost 30, which are a bit snug. But the next size jumps up to 32, which are huge on him. Having to send them back. : (
I bought these in person at an academy a year ago and realized I was doing the wash more often just so I could wear them again. So I bought 2 more pairs. Not too low and super lightweight. And pockets.
I recently purchased these shorts for a trip to Disney. I wanted something comfortable enough to walk around in all day long. Im also a runner and needed a new pair of running shorts. These shorts were very lightweight and comfortable, breathable, and the length was perfect. They allowed a full range of movement wile running. They also wick sweat and moisture very well.
I would wear these seven days a week if I could. I really should have that many pairs. The Class V shorts are a virtually perfect product. They fulfill their purpose with simplicity every time and for such a long time that over the life of the shorts it basically costs nothing to own them. I especially like how the fabric is stiffer than the paper thin material in my Better Than Nakeds for when I need protection against abrasion.
Perfect shorts to get wet or stay dry in. Good for almost anything.
I bought these out of season, but still got the benefit of appreciating on cooler days when you want the comfort of wearing a short for working out, but want what you are wearing to be warm from the car to the gym. These are also good shorts to wear in the colder season. They are a good fit and keep their shape.
Great product. Great quality. Purchased for working.
I got this shorts and I do a lot of weight lifting I love the length they are not short or long like the basketball shorts. The material is super comfortable and they absorb the sweat while I workout I would recommend this model shorts and will be ordering some more in different colors.
I own 5 different pairs of these in different colors. Absolutely one of my favorite UA shorts
I bought this a month ago the fit is comfortable, the material is of good quality. I would definitely continue to buy from these guys.
I am a keen cyclist, but have never liked the feel of shorts that I have seen. This was the first time I saw a pair of genuine cycling shorts made predominantly of cotton (92%). I have so far been on 3 fairly long rides (25, 40 and 75 miles) wearing the shorts, and find them comfortable and functional. I think that 'wicking' is over-rated...as long as humidity is not completely oppressive, the shorts stay reasonably dry. Four stars instead of five only because there is no pocket, which I think ... would be a useful addition.
I bought the shorts for a gift. Glad I did, my brother was very pleased. He liked the style and the comfort. Thanks again !
These shorts fit comfortably just as good of the expensive name brands. I'm very glad I tried 2 but bought 2 more
Very comfortable cut, true to size, plenty of room in the pockets
Great shorts and for the price, you can beat the quality!
I only like the shorts with lining and was pleased with all colors!
These are amazing shorts and worth every penny, they will not disappoint.
Utsually a product line doesn't last but one, maybe two seasons. I'm very pleased to see that Academy continues to carry these shorts. I've already worn six pair of these until they are frayed at the leg hem, and I just bought six more pair. I'm retired, so I wear them literally every day. They are the coolest, most comfortable shorts that I can remember owning. I wear them at my lake house so they sometimes get wet, but the material dries very quickly. I certainly hope Academy continues to carry them.
My son loves these shorts. They're not super long so perfect for allowing him to be mobile at recess. Loves quick dri feature and elastic inset in waistband make very comfortable. Like gym shorts but khakis. Has belt loops so no issues wearing belt and tucking shirt in for dress code. He is 56" tall and 130lbs--husky build--and wears a 30".
Purchased the shorts for my husband and son-in-law and they love them . They were exactly as described
I purchased the first pair of these in the store. My son loved these so much that I'm online to order more. I was surprised to see that they had reviewed poorly before. My son is 14, and husky and already we are buying men's sizes to fit him. He is thick through the torso and bottom and thighs and these fit him well. He is also particular about shorts being long enough, and I was pleasantly surprised that these passed muster with him. They look really nice, wash well, (and he has really put them ... through the ringer so far) and he says they are super comfortable. Buying several more pair today!
i got two pair of these because they are so comfy. i also like the bright colors they come in.
Great running shorts. Light weight. Water resistant.
Purchased for my husband who has an athletic build and the length was great (he's 6'3''). However, the fit wasn't as comfortable because the shorts don't have much stretch in them.
Long inseam keeps everything in place, cup pocket for your jock cup works great, keeps mine in place very well. Love the neon green color. Glad I bought this.
The sales Girl that worked with me went out of her way to get me what I wanted she should be a manager she's great
Love these shorts. Fabric is lightweight and cool and wicks away moisture just as advertised. There is a liner in the shorts which some people find annoying but I actually appreciate it in this pair. Fits well, comes just above the knee. I have not had problems with items falling out of the pockets but this seems to be a common complaint.
I almost always buy Nike, once I did venture away and tried another brand. Very disappointed in the fit and the baby zippered pocket. Other than a key holder it's worthless. Nike has quality, fit and if you catch a sale decent prices.

BOAO, CHINA – Former Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda said he briefly met Chinese President Xi Jinping on Sunday while chairing an international conference but did not speak with him about bilateral tensions.
Fukuda is chairing the Boao Forum for Asia, which has been touted as an Asian version of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The annual meeting is held on the southern Chinese island of Hainan.
Fukuda told reporters that he and other executives of the forum attended a meeting with Xi that lasted about 20 minutes and focused largely on conference issues.
"It's not the kind of place to talk just about Japan and Japan-China relations," Fukuda noted.
Still, the meeting offered a rare chance for high-level contact at a time when Sino-Japanese ties are being strained by the ongoing sovereignty dispute over the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea.
Japan, which has administered the unoccupied islands for decades, inflamed the dispute by effectively nationalizing the chain last September by purchasing the islets it did not already own. China and Taiwan, which claim them as Diaoyu and Tiaoyutai, respectively, began making their claims after researchers later hinted the surrounding area might be rich in natural resources.
After their meeting, Fukuda praised a speech Xi made to the forum's participants in which he called for settling disputes through dialogue.
Fukuda said that the two sides now need to step up diplomacy.
"I think it's a matter of how to increase trust between leaders," he said.
Asked if his attendance at the forum could contribute to such diplomatic efforts, Fukuda said it was hard to say.
"But in general I feel that both sides are of the mind that something needs to be done," he said.
Fukuda, the son of a former prime minister, served in the post for a year starting in September 2007 and has been an influential figure in Japanese politics.

Gov. Peter Shumlin on Tuesday signed into law a program to regulate toxic chemicals in children's products.
"It enables parents of all Vermonters, to make informed choices when buying products for their children," Shumlin said at a bill signing outside Seventh Generation's Burlington headquarters.
Shumlin pointed to Seventh Generation, the manufacturer of environmentally safe household products, as an example of "toxic-free" business practices the law hopes to encourage by requiring manufacturers to report toxic chemicals in their products.
"This is a basic consumer right to know bill," he said.
The Vermont Department of Health will list potentially harmful chemicals on its website starting July 1, 2016. The department will have full authority to regulate these chemicals, including requiring manufacturers to label or remove them from their products for children.
Exposure to certain toxic chemicals can cause cancer, developmental disorders, brain damage and respiratory problems. Tens of thousands of these chemicals in consumer products are untested and unregulated.
"I am still appalled at how many toxic chemicals we still allow manufactures to put into everyday products," said Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group. VPIRG was one of several public health groups pushing lawmakers to take action on the issue this year.
"These are products that we buy on store shelves day after day," he said. "And they include products that are targeted specifically to children, even toys."
Lauren Hierl, political director for the Vermont Conservation Voters, has been pushing for years for the regulatation of toxic chemicals in consumer products.
"As a parent, for the first time, I'll be able to go on the Department of Health's website and figure out does this product contain harmful chemicals that I don't want my children exposed to," she said. "And ultimately we're on the path to getting the chemicals out of our products all together."
Other states, such as Maine, Washington state and California, are starting similar programs. Vermont's law is modeled on Washington's reporting program, but further regulates chemicals.
Shumlin, who is the head of the Democratic Governors Association, said it is important that other governors pass similar laws. He said states should not wait for a Congress that has "trouble doing anything" to reform the federal Toxic Substances Control Act, a largely ineffective toxic chemical regulatory program.
Sen. Ginny Lyons, D-Chittenden, the law's lead sponsor, said Maine has spent $644 million to treat health issues related to toxic chemical exposure.
"This bill sets us in a new direction," she said. "It sets us in a direction for health care savings. And its sets us in a direction for saving our next generation."
The regulation is an incentive to move toward a more sustainable economy, some businesses say.
"Regulating the use of toxic chemicals in consumer products will create a stronger, healthier and more sustainable economy," said Andrea Cohen, executive director of the trade group Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility, in a statement.
"Giving consumers more information about dangerous chemicals found in products they purchase will expand the market in Vermont for clean, green and safe products."
Only manufacturers that intentionally add these chemicals to their products will be required to comply with the law. They will have to report a list of chemicals used in their products to the state starting July 1, 2016. The state will increase the number of chemical requiring manufacturers to report every two years.
Children's products are defined as "any consumer product, marketed for use by, marketed to, sold, offered for sale, or distributed to children" in the state, such as toys, cosmetics, jewelry, products used for sucking or teething, clothing, and child car seats.
The are several exemptions in the law for snow sport equipment, secondhand products, and electronics. Manufactures can request a waiver.
A panel of appointed representatives from the scientific, business and public health communities will make recommendations to the health commissioner on which chemicals should be regulated.
It remains unclear how much it will cost the state to administer the program. Businesses will pay a biannual reporting fee for each chemical in their product that the health department finds may be harmful.
The health department will report back to lawmakers next session with an estimated cost of the program.
Health Commissioner Harry Chen was not at the bill signing but said in a statement his department is ready to implement the law.
"Using good science to inform Vermonters of, and protect them from, toxic chemicals is the right thing to do," he said in a statement.

The Australian Taxation Office is taking a Crocodile Dundee-style tough line in its handling of the
The ATO grounded Mr Hogan in Australia over a tax debt that could be as much as $150 million after the actor flew into the country for his mother's funeral.
The Tax Office issued the departure prohibition order on the grounds Mr Hogan presented a risk of not returning to Australia to pay his tax bill.
Mr Hogan's lawyers were to meet ATO officials on Friday to try to secure permission for him to leave. If he wants to return to California to see his wife, children and grandchildren he can either cut a deal with the ATO – which is likely to involve security and assets – or fight the order in court.
"They're probably trying to look for another high-profile case, much like
In 2007, music entrepreneur Wheatley became the first high-profile scalp claimed by the multi-agency tax haven inquiry, Project Wickenby. He served 15 months of a 2½-year jail sentence over a $318,000 offshore tax fraud.
"Anybody else who had a $300,000 tax debt, they probably wouldn't have pursued as aggressively," Mr Paoliello said.
The ATO's approach in the Hogan case appears similarly tough. "I think it's being used for political gain," he said.
Mr Hogan, artistic collaborator
No charges have been laid, but on Monday the three will take on the Tax Office in the Federal Court, fighting over documents that were used to issue them with amended tax bills.
The departure prohibition on Mr Hogan during his visit is the latest chapter in a long saga.
Mr Paoliello says the orders are designed for cases in which a person is a "flight risk", which sits uncomfortably with the apparent facts of this case.
"My understanding [is that] actually he'd come to the country willingly," Mr Paoliello said. "It seems unreasonable and illogical."
Mr Hogan has maintained he is not a flight risk.
Michael Dirkis, a professor of taxation law at the University of Sydney, said use of the orders had "increased in recent years with Project Wickenby". He could see why they were necessary because most countries have a prohibition on collecting foreign debts. The only country where the ATO may pursue debt is New Zealand, Professor Dirkis said.
John Passant, a former ATO assistant commissioner and a senior lecturer in the University of Canberra's law faculty, said that, in general, such orders were an appropriate response to flight risks.
Some tax advisers are less convinced. Balazs Lazanas & Welch partner John Balasz said the orders were usually appropriate but in this case seemed "a bit over the top".
The director of SBN Lawyers, Ken Schurgott, said he believed the orders were sometimes used when not warranted.
PKF partner Stephen Bladwell said: "It doesn't make sense to issue [an order] in respect of a person like Paul Hogan."
Adrian Raftery, chief executive of accountants Rus, said the Tax Office was being even-handed. "If it was someone else, that is exactly how they would be applying the law," he said. "The fact that he's a celebrity shouldn't come into the equation at all."
Mr Hogan's lawyers said the actor would not have enough money to meet the tax debt.
HLB Mann Judd Sydney managing partner Tony Fittler said the ATO imposed a departure prohibition order on Christopher Skase in 1992, but a court overturned it because he had been declared bankrupt. "There was no chance of recovering the debt," Mr Fittler said.
"A departure prohibition order can only be issued to assist the ATO in recovering a debt, and not for any other reason."

It grew after 1900 when a power canal linking the St. Lawrence and Grass rivers was dug and attracted industry, notably the Aluminum Company of America. Main power project structures (completed in 1959) are the Robert Moses-Robert H.

Eisenhower and Snell locks and the Seaway International Bridge (across the Seaway Channel to Cornwall Island, Ontario) are part of the seaway operations.
