True Love Never Dies
Evisu and Puma joined forces once again to make a line of premium denim jeans called "True Love Never Dies" officially dropping on Valentine's day. The launch party is set for this coming Monday, 13 February at a party held in Puma's Soho store where they will be sold exclusively. The three washes range from distressed to a dark non-distressed, the priciest of which will set you back $180. Of note is the back pocket "formstripe" that with wear reveals the classic Puma band.

This guy I am friendly with said that we should take a vacation together while I'm single. We aren't like best friends or brother and sister close type of relationship. He probably wants to have sex with me then, am I right?
Most Helpful Guy
Not necessarily, he might just want to have a good shot at developing something between you two. You spent so much time together when you're on vocation that you get so many opportunities to make a move, and they don't have to be sexual. He definitely wants something out of it whether it be just sex or a relationship, no one really knows except him. If he has always been that "nice guy" then I think he just wants to have a relationship, but just doesn't know any other way to get you interested.10|10|0
Well it isn't platonic though, right?
- Show AllShow Less
A few months.
A few months is way too short for it to be platonic. 99% sure he wants a shot at you (again it doesn't have to be sexual). Are you going to go?

Special Data Dissemination Standard
Quick Links
|The Data: Coverage, Periodicity, and Timeliness
|Coverage characteristics
5.1.1 Statistical presentation
The main source for the employment and unemployment statistics is the European Labour Force Survey (EU LFS). This survey is a quarterly household sample survey carried out in the Member States of the European Union, Candidate Countries and EFTA countries (except Lichtenstein). Prior to 1998 the survey was carried out annually in the spring.
The survey's target population are all persons in private households aged 15 years or older.
The survey results refer to one reference week in the quarter. The survey is designed so that the sample is spread uniformly and randomly over all the weeks of the quarter.
During a transition period ending in 2005 some Member States apply the survey only in the spring or do not cover all weeks of the quarter.
The definitions of employment and unemployment, as well as other survey characteristics follow the definitions and recommendations of the International Labour Organisation (ILO). In addition, harmonisation is achieved through adherence of the Member States to common principles of questionnaire construction, unemployment definition and common definitions of main variables and reply categories.
The data are not seasonally adjusted.
Metadata in SDDS format are also available on Eurostat website at:
4.1.1 PeriodicityMonthly, quarterly, annual
4.1.2 Timeliness
Monthly data on seasonally adjusted unemployment rates are published approximately 34 days after the end of the month. Quarterly micro files are delivered to Eurostat 12 weeks after the end of the quarter. These data are available on the Eurostat's website immediately after being validated. Annual averages are published in the summer of the year after the reference year.

4.2.1 Internal consistency
The statistics on Employment and Unemployment are disseminated in the following data categories:
1. Main indicators
This section collects the main results related to the labour market. It is based on the EU LFS series adjusted in various ways according to the specificities of an indicator. In general, the LFS adjusted series is the result of correction of main breaks in series, estimation of missing values and reconciliations of the LFS data with other sources, mainly National Accounts and national statistics on monthly unemployment.
In particular, the section of Main Indicators consists of :
- Employment growth – National Accounts & LFS breakdowns
- Population, activity and inactivity indicators –LFS adjusted data (including also Average exit age and Population in jobless households)
- Employment – LFS adjusted data
- Unemployment – LFS adjusted data (including also Harmonised long-term unemployment)
- Education and training – LFS adjusted data (covering Youth education attainment level, Lifelong learning and Early school leavers)
2. LFS – Quarterly survey results
This is the series of unadjusted results from the quarterly Labour Force Survey.
3. LFS – Regional series
The regional series is based on the unadjusted EU LFS results down to NUTS level 2. The series on NUTS level 3 is adjusted.
Annual and quarterly main results are also published in a more condensed form in "Statistics in Focus", available on the web.
Often questions are asked concerning the comparability between the monthly unemployment rates (or their quarterly and annual averages) and the direct results of the EU-LFS. Some of the differences are due to the different nature of the two data sets, but some of the differences occur just because the transition period that uses the most recent quarterly data is not yet completed:
· The headline figures published in the monthly News Release are seasonally adjusted unemployment rates. This results in a natural difference from the EU-LFS seasonally non-adjusted data. In general, seasonally non-adjusted monthly data is consistent with the published EU-LFS data (with the condition that the EU-LFS is continuous covering all the weeks of the quarter);
· In the monthly application, the idea is to keep the time series as comparable in time as possible. It means that possible breaks in the EU-LFS data due to changes in the definitions or in the filtering of the micro data have been adjusted: in 1991/1992 there was general definition precision; the gradual implementation of the 'new' unemployment definition following the Regulation (EC) 1897/2000 still leads to backwards revisions and also a general improvement in the micro data filtering of the EU-LFS data from 2001 onwards caused breaks and backwards adjustments. While the original EU-LFS data consists of the raw series as they have been recorded at each point of time, the same series have been adjusted when they have been used as benchmarks for the monthly harmonised time series;
· Where pooled averages of the EU-LFS are/will be used either as a temporary or definitive solution, the monthly data naturally does not match the corresponding EU-LFS data unless correspondingly pooled;
· A specific case is France where the two data sets are not consistent for two reasons. First, the EU-LFS for the monthly calculations is complemented with the DOM data (départements d'outre-mer) while the original EU-LFS data alone only covers "France Métropolitaine". The second reason is the above mentioned pooling of the EU-LFS data; The second exception is Germany for which on a temporary basis (during 2005 and 2006), the complete monthly data comes from the national monthly survey which is independent from the EU-LFS;
· In the cases where only the Spring quarters of the EU-LFS data is used, quarterly and annual averages over the monthly unemployment data naturally differ from the corresponding EU-LFS. This situation gradually improves when the complete results of the EU-LFS become available and are applied.
4.2.2 Temporal consistency
Time coverage
Data collection relating to all 25 Member States is mostly from 1999 or 2000. Data relating the former EU-15 are available from 1995. Data relating to the former EU-12 are available from 1987. Prior to that data are only available in electronic format from 1983.

I am a bit of a sweetheart, but I am by no means a square...you can find out for yourself what I mean... ;) I love an adventure and I'm open-minded. I tend to be on the shy side, but if I find something interesting I'll have alot to say. I appreciate people with intelligence, a sense of humor, and a genuine/caring disposition. I don't find silence awkward, sometimes you don't need to say anything at all to feel connected. I like to be pleasing and I get upset if I feel like I've let someone down in some way.
I'd say I'm an interesting mix of nice girl with a wild streak, like to push myself, have fun and do things most people don't. I like to view the world in a different way and appreciate the beauty of things overlooked.
I'm curvy and I love my curves, so if you don't...don't message me!
If you create stuff or know stuff I don't, I'll probably like you.
Personality...character...a smattering of integrity...whoa! Huge ask, I know!
Really, I'd just like to get to know some awesome people. Friends are great, sometimes friends become more, who knows.
Maturity is a bonus, as long as you also know how to let go and not take everything seriously...silliness and spontaneity go a long way with me!
I have a preference for men of a dominant persuasion who can appreciate and look after my more vulnerable/trusting side.

Alumni Success Story
MFA Creative Writing Alumna Transitions from Poetry to Prose
Sandra Beasley, MFA creative writing '04, based her recently published memoir, Don't Kill the Birthday Girl: Tales from an Allergic Life, on her experiences having had severe and multiple food allergies since birth. "I can't have foods that people take for granted like dairy, egg, beef, shrimp, some tree nuts, mango, cucumber—it's a long list," she says.
Beasley has previously written two books of poetry, Theories of Falling and I Was the Jukebox, and credits her ability to transition into prose writing to American University's MFA creative writing program. "If I hadn't been allowed to workshop as a prose writer, I never would have been as prepared to become a full-time writer," she says.
She raves about the skill and breadth of experience of the creative writing faculty she was able to work with while at AU. "One of the great things for me was seeing teachers who had approached their writing careers in different ways," she says. "I was working with somebody who had won the Pulitzer, somebody who was very active on the writing colony and freelance writing circuit, and somebody who was dedicated to the altruistic things that writing can accomplish."
While she'd briefly talked about her allergies in a poetry sequence called "Allergy Girl," she wanted more space to expand upon her account. "In some ways, I really knew I hadn't gotten enough of the backstory, enough of the science. I didn't get everything on the page that I wanted to tell. Quite frankly, I didn't think I could fit it in the space of a poem," she says. "There was a part of me that knew that I needed to try writing in prose for the first time."
Beasley knew there was a need outside of her personal reasons for this kind of book about food allergies. "I thought it was strange that so much of the conversation about food allergies taking place in culture today is between doctors and families of those with allergies, but not the people with allergies themselves," she explains.
A recent study estimated that eight percent of children under the age of 18 have a food allergy, and Beasley recognized that she could serve as a voice for this younger generation. As a writer, she felt she could accurately describe in detail what an allergic reaction feels like, which could help parents better understand a child's symptoms. One woman "said that for years, her son, who was very young, had been trying to explain the pain of allergic reactions in terms of the esophageal irritation," Beasley says. "It wasn't until she read in my book the concept of bubbles—these expanding bubbles rising up inside the chest—that she got it."
In addition to her own story, she included research on food allergies and where the science is going, what is known about why allergies happen, and how allergies manifest themselves in the body. She interviewed young and old alike about their histories with food allergies. "One woman recalled growing up in an era when regular bread cost 16 cents a loaf, but her family paid a dollar for the 100 percent rye bread that she could eat. Her family was told they had to move if she wanted her food allergies to improve," Beasley says incredulously.
Hearing about how others have dealt with food allergies is what she's been most excited about since going on tour for the book. "One of the things that I've learned is my Q&A and the opportunities for book signings are really as much an opportunity for [the audience] to share their stories as for them to hear me yammer on about mine," she jokes.
While primarily a poet, Beasley has noticed a positive overlap between her different audiences. She's glad to reach more doctors and parents regarding this issue, but has found that these same people who come to see her talk about allergies often leave with a copy of one of her poetry collections. "That really excites me, because that says that people are just responding to my voice in general," she enthuses.
Beasley's primary goal for this book was to give others who live with food allergies the ability to focus on the rest of their lives. " I don't think that anybody needs to be defined by these allergies," she says. "I don't want it to be the title on anybody else's book. I want food allergies to just be a footnote to their story."

About the Book
An empty suitcase lent for a month each to a series of collaborators. Each one fills the suitcase with objects of their choice and according to the following terms:
Homeland Journey Arrival Destination
At the end of the month, the photographer's collaborators invite him to a location of their choice, where they are photographed and interviewed.
The idea for the project was sparked when the photographer's mother gave him his grandfather's monogrammed leather suitcase. For several months it sat empty by the photographer's desk, like an absent presence by his side.
The photographer knew that the suitcase had travelled around the world with his grandfather, who was a sea captain with the Greek merchant navy. Why should it not continue on its travels as a tribute to the memory of Captain John Perivolaris, whose birthday coincided with that of the photographer?
Left Luggage is a subjective exploration of migration. For one of the photographer's collaborators, Parvati Nair, the project is about 'reusing our memories, reusing the knowledge we carry with us, reusing the images we have.' In short, this a project about regenerating the past and projecting it into a future made meaningful in the transit. A large proportion of the collaborators join the photographer in representing the coming-of-age of a postcolonial generation of British artists, photographers, and intellectuals of immigrant origins. It is to a large extent they who have placed the exploration of migration and diaspora at the centre of contemporary art practice and academic research.
Left Luggage is the work of John Perivolaris, an independent documentarian.

Start warming your pan on medium low.2. With a pastry brush start paint one side of a slice of bread with melted butter3. Put this slice into your pan butter side down4. Quickly assemble your sliced cheese pieces (and any other fillings) onto the bread5. Top with other piece of bread and paint it with melted butter6. Cover (doesn't have to be air tight) to generate more heat to melt cheese7. Cook for about 2 minutes (if you're worried you can check the bottom to make sure it's not burning) until golden brown and cheese is melted. A medium low heat should prevent burning8. Flip and cook on the other side for no more than a minute until bread is golden brown9. Remove from pan and serveAdditional Notes: This will produce a soft sandwich (still with some crunch on the bread) like that you might get in a diner and what I've found many kids like. For an even crunchier texture don't use the cover. We kept it simple this time but suggested fillings include prosciutto or ham, apple slices or chutney. Note that we used a semi-hard extra sharp New York cheese here. American cheese will melt more quickly and, hence, need less time in the pan. #Recipes #Grilled-Cheese #Sandwitch #Cheese #Delicious

Kovacevic: NFL ultimate enabler on bounties
The NFL again has assumed its perpetually awkward position on a high horse, this time by exposing the New Orleans Saints for a bounty program that compromised "the integrity of our game."
That was Roger Goodell's characterization in the league's announcement Friday. He cited the single most important aspect of competition any commissioner is entrusted to protect.
For real.
In related news, Goodell was informed that interior linemen sometimes will say really mean things about each other's moms before a snap.
This crisis — and it's reaching that level, judging by the hyperbolic coast-to-coast coverage over the weekend — was so stunning, so jarring, that its unique impact could be felt ... for nearly an hour.
By late Friday afternoon, Tony Dungy told Pro Football Talk that the Tennessee Titans used to put up bounties on Peyton Manning.
Before dinner, the Washington Post broke that the 2004-07 Redskins — playing for the same defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams, being implicated in the New Orleans case — did exactly the same thing.
And by nightfall, current and former NFL players everywhere were nearly unified in their abject ambivalence to this qualifying as news. As Matt Bowen, a safety for those Washington teams, penned for a piece in the Chicago Tribune, "Bounties, cheap shots, whatever you want to call them, they're part of this game."
So, who in Goodell's NFL Security force got the Sherlock Award for this coup?
Was Seal Team 6 summoned?
Understand, please: I'm not making light of athletes putting bounties on competitors. Some of the cases described involving these Saints and Redskins can turn a stomach, not least of which was New Orleans specifically targeting Kurt Warner and Brett Favre for injury. It's an abhorrent practice, and the league is absolutely right to put an immediate and harsh stop to it.
But that shouldn't stop anyone from asking why exactly the NFL waited so long.
Or to question whether the league is serious this time.
You probably remember the league's best chance in recent years to address this, publicly and firmly, even if the league won't appreciate the reminder. Happened in October 2008, soon after a game between the Steelers and Ravens — naturally — when Baltimore loudmouth linebacker Terrell Suggs was part of this exchange on a radio show:
Host: "Did y'all put a bounty out on that young man?"
The reference was to the Steelers' Rashard Mendenhall.
Suggs: "Definitely. The bounty was out on him, and the bounty was out on Hines Ward. We just didn't get him between the whistles."
No, but the Ravens got to Mendenhall. Motivated by money or not, Ray Lewis hit Mendenhall hard enough to end his season with a shoulder injury.
This was NFL executive vice president Ray Anderson's response to Suggs' confession at the time: "That 'bounty' notion is completely against the rules. To the extent that someone is engaged in that activity, we will look into it and address it."
Right. There was no suspension, no fine, not even a finger-wag.
The Ravens' PR staff crafted a statement from Suggs denouncing bounties and — this is a beauty — former coach Brian Billick wrote the following on his blog: "This is standard operating procedure in virtually every locker room in the NFL. ... What is worth commenting on is how stupid it is to talk about it afterward. Locker room talk should be just that."
The NFL, in apparent harmony with Billick's thinking, never spoke of it again.
And now, with the issuing of a single press release, we're supposed to accept that the league — same people, with Goodell and Anderson still in place — suddenly are mortified by this and will come down hard on New Orleans. Multiple draft picks could be docked. The team, as well as individuals, could face huge fines and suspensions. Washington will be next.
Monday, the NFL takes its next step toward washing hands. The league Sunday night leaked word to ESPN that Williams will be summoned to New York on Monday to further discuss the case, even though it's essentially open and shut. The real reason is Williams will draw media attention akin to a perp walk, and we'll all get to put a face to the shame. One that isn't Goodell's.
Changing the culture will take a lot more than this.
The Steelers' Ryan Clark, a member of the Redskins for Williams' first two seasons there, tweeted this Friday: "Whoever is snitching on the Saints D should be ashamed of themselves. No one was talking about the 'bounty' when they got paid. ... I'm not saying 'bounties' are ethical or right but I am saying if you participate don't go back & tell on the people u did it with!"
Say what you will about Clark — who then expected to be taken seriously when claiming Sunday, "I've never been offered $ to put a player out of a game" — but be sure his mindset is richly representative.
What the league needs now is more players standing up to this practice, speaking out as boldly as Arizona's Jay Feely did, also on Twitter: "No place in NFL for bounties. Physical play is an attribute, but malicious intent should be removed."
He's the Cardinals' kicker.Additional Information:
All atwitter
Here is how some Steelers reacted on Twitter to the NFL bounty story:
Ryan Clark: 'I'm not saying 'bounties' are ethical or right but I am saying if you participate don't go back & tell on the people u did it with!'
Clark: 'Never in my career has a defensive coach singled out a player and put $ on his head. I've never been offered $ to put a player out of a game.'
LaMarr Woodley: 'Trust me RC the whole world kno u will do it for free'
James Harrison: 'We'll see how concerned the NFL is about player safety when they decide what the punishment for the saints is.'
Harrison: 'I'll just say this, if that was me I would have been kicked out of the NFL!!!'

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- James McAdoo can't wait to move on from high school.
North Carolina fans may be just as eager for his jump to the next level after his performance in Saturday night's Jordan Brand Classic.
McAdoo had 26 points and 14 rebounds and hit the clinching free throws with 1.6 seconds left to lead the East squad to a 113-109 victory over the West on Saturday night in his final basketball act before joining North Carolina's deep front line in the fall.
"High school kind of got boring. After a while it's just the same thing over and over," the 6-foot-8 Norfolk, Va., native said. "So just getting on campus there and kind of being put back at the bottom of the totem pole is just going to be get me to work harder and proving myself once again."
Duke product Austin Rivers added 16 points, six rebounds and four steals for the East, which held off a late West rally in the freewheeling high school All-Star game devoid of much defense.
Anthony Davis led Kentucky's impressive foursome of prospects with 29 points and 11 rebounds to pace the West. Tony Wroten Jr., who is headed to Washington, added 16 points and 10 assists.
After the West cut a 14-point deficit to two, McAdoo calmly sank both free throws and was voted co-MVP with Davis.
McAdoo and fellow future Tar Heel P.J. Hairston played stretches with Rivers, set to become a fierce rival in the fall. McAdoo would seem to demand playing time even with North Carolina definitely returning big men John Henson and Tyler Zeller.
Another North Carolina forward, Harrison Barnes, attended the game and said he remains undecided on whether he'll enter the NBA draft.
"I see myself fitting in very well," McAdoo said.
Kentucky dominated the game with four players, two more than any other school.
"We kind of bonded in these last couple of all-American games," Davis said. "It's going to be great next year."
The 6-10 Davis, who has grown seven inches in a year to shoot up recruiting charts, scored in a variety of ways. He hit a baseline jumper, dunked an alley-oop pass, scored inside and knocked down two free throws in a 2 minute stretch early in the second half as the West briefly took the lead.
After the East built a 14-point lead, he had another burst of three buckets inside to get the West within five before two future teammates stopped the rally.
Marquis Teague, brother of Atlanta Hawks guard Jeff Teague, responded with a thunderous dunk and Michael Gilchrist had his own driving dunk on consecutive possessions to put the East ahead 102-91.
Davis keyed another late spurt that came up short. He missed only two of 15 shots as he prepares to join Wildcats coach John Calipari's loaded program.
"The college level is way different level and the style of play is way different," Davis said. "I've got to find a way to adjust. So I'll get there and work out more this summer."
Rivers, son of Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers and the Naismith Foundation national player of the year, chose Duke instead of being McAdoo's teammate at rival North Carolina. With the game being played in Charlotte for the first time, Rivers expectedly got a mixture of boos and cheers from both teams' fans in pregame introductions.
Rivers split time between both guard positions. He struggled in hitting only 4 of 15 shots, but consistently teamed up with McAdoo on alley-oop dunks.
But even Michael Jordan's presence couldn't prevent the typical ragged All-Star game with little effort on defense, usually one pass and a shot and often 5-for-5 substitutions.
The game was littered with poor alley-oop passes, players not getting back after made baskets and showboating that sometimes turned embarrassing.
McAdoo clanged a 360-dunk attempt off the front rim, then missed a putback layup on the same possession as the East let an early 18-2 lead slip away. But it was one of the few mistakes for McAdoo, who hit 10 of 16 shots.
"I think what was important," McAdoo said, "was to come out here and put on a show for the people."

A Cabinet committee formed last December to consider the Mormon-sponsored Brigham Young University center under construction next to the Hebrew University campus on Mt. Scopus, convened Monday for what was to have been its final meeting. But the meeting adjourned without decision.
The committee deferred its vote for another week to allow Justice Minister Yitzhak Modai more time to consider the legality of the building license and the activities planned for the six acre campus.
The project was authorized several years ago, during the Likud administration headed by Premier Menachem Begin. All permits and licenses were approved by the government and the Jerusalem municipality. But the Orthodox religious establishment adamantly opposed the Mormon center on grounds that it would be used for missionary activities.
Modai sought to appease the opponents by proposing a law that would forbid any form of missionary activity. Proselytizing as such is not illegal in Israel but offering financial or other inducements to conversion is banned.

LOWER TOWNSHIP — A 24-year-old church youth group leader has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a teenage girl, the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office and Lower Township police said Monday.
Jonatan Nunez, of Heights Place in Vineland, was arrested and charged with the aggravated sexual assault of a 14-year-old female, police said.
Police said they learned of the alleged assault Wednesday and conducted an investigation that found Nunez had accompanied the victim to a youth function during the week of March 17.
After the event, he was reportedly alone with the victim when the sexual assault occurred, police said.
A warrant was issued for Nunez's arrest, and he was taken into custody Thursday. He is being held at the Cape May County jail in lieu of $150,000 bail.
Police did not say at which church Nunez worked.
The investigation was conducted by Detective First Class Michael Majane and Detective Brian McEwing of the Lower Township Police Department.

The Front Page
Welcome to a unique publishing adventure, EXPOSITORY
FILES. This electronic magazine will be compiled monthly
by Warren E. Berkley (McAllen, Texas), and Jon W. Quinn
(Bradley, Ill.). Our intent is to upload articles with
emphasis on the exposition of Scripture. Four or five
articles will appear in each issue. Journalistic efforts
often evolve in content and material, depending upon the
needs of the time. But this is a our starting point. We
want to offer articles which are simple, true to the
Scriptures, and easy to read.
The writers are members and preachers of churches of
Christ all across the country. We share a common concern,
that Biblical instruction should be followed. We believe,
in every dispensation there is the urgent need to follow
whatever instructions we have from God. Today, we have the
New Testament.
To send us your comments, you may reach the editors
through E-Mail (America Online) as follows: JWQuinn, or
Each issue will be numbered in computer syle, 1.1, 1.2,
etc. This first issue (Jan., '94) is 1.1 for example; the
last issue of this year will be 1.12, etc.
We are not entering into this project to make money, raise
money or to compete with print media. Both editors write
for other print publications. Our motive is to provide
Biblical teaching for on-line computer users.

Acts 2:38
Do Not Be Deceived!
By Warren E. Berkley
I recently received a sample/complimentary copy of a
new commentary on the New Testament. {Publishers often
send a single copy of a commentary series to preachers and
others who frequently purchase religious books, in the
hope our approval of the sample will lead to the purchase
of the whole set.}
This series of commentaries has some redeeming
qualities, and some excellent sections on moral and
practical topics which could serve as a good resource for
preachers and teachers. But in my initial evaluation of
the series, as I checked certain passages, I came to the
comments on Acts 2:38.
In the King James it reads ...
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every
one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
Now when you first read this, before anybody "explains
what it really means," it seems so plain. The apostle of
Christ, Peter, told these people they had rejected and
crucified Jesus of Nazareth, the Savior, the Messiah!
Then, he said to those who were convinced of this and
convicted, that they needed to do something: REPENT AND BE
BAPTIZED. Those who wanted to have their sins forgiven
(remitted), needed to express their faith in Christ by
repenting and being baptized. And, this makes a lot of
Once you become convinced that you have done something
wrong, what is your first reaction or impulse? If you
have a good and honest heart, you want to make things
right. Perhaps you decide to offer an apology to the
offended party; or, you give back what you shouldn't have
taken. If you have injured someone you do whatever you can
to help in their healing. The good and upright person
wants to "make amends," or be reconciled to an offended
THAT'S WHAT ACTS 2:38 IS ABOUT! One way to study this
verse is: These people who had crucified the Savior are
now being given an opportunity to be forgiven (based on
the blood of the One they crucified. What mercy!). Not
that repenting and being baptized would put everything
back the way it was before they killed the Christ, or undo
history. Not that their obedience was an equal exchange
for murder, by no means! But these murderers were now told
they could be forgiven. Their repentance and baptism was
their acceptance of that gracious offer of pardon!
There's another way to study the verse in question.
Peter preached to convince these people of two basic
things, their sin and God's solution in Christ. The
presence of sin in their lives was manifested by how they
treated the Christ. God's solution to the sin problem is
Jesus Christ, who gave His life a ransom for all. On the
basis of that, God offers to forgive us. We accept that
offer by repenting and being baptized.
Back to this new commentary series. I found it very
readable, with excellent material on moral and practical
topics, but the comments on Acts 2:38 are puzzling, to say
the least!
"The call to be baptized in Jesus' name is also bold.
'Name' means power and authority. Jesus Christ has that
authority through His cross and resurrection. As incarnate
Christ He said, "Your sins are forgiven." And as exalted,
glorified, reigning Lord of all, He has the power to
convince the repentant changed mind that it is
accomplished. Through the Holy Spirit He liberates people
to both repent and confess their sins. He clears the way
for Himself, creating the desire and the response.
Receiving His spirit, we find that being filled is the
natural result. He prepares a place for Himself and then
moves in. It may seem that the decision to receive the
Holy Spirit is our choice, but behind that choice is His
infused desire, making us willing to receive. Looking back
we say, "It was all the Lord from the start to finish. He
set me free to want what He wanted to give!" {page #72,
Acts, MASTERING THE NEW TESTAMENT, by Lloyd J. Ogilvie.}
He starts his comments by telling us that the call to
be baptized in Jesus' name is bold. But then he says
nothing else about baptism (must not be too bold)! The
rest of what he says sounds very much like you do nothing.
You are convinced, liberated to repent and confess, and
desire is created within you. He even says that "it may
seem" that you have made a decision or choice, but in
reality the desire was "infused" making you willing to
receive. You are just informed that "it is accomplished."
If this is so, it makes me wonder why Peter told them
to do anything. And if this commentator is right, I don't
know why I need to know or do anything about repentance
and baptism. If it is "all the Lord from the start to
finish," am I merely a passive recipient of salvation?
Ladies and gentlemen, as articulate and scriptural and
bold as "evangelicals" are on moral issues (like abortion
and pre-marital sex), they are still not saying what needs
to be said about Acts 2:38 and the commandments of the
Lord. There remains the influence of Calvinism, loyalty to
denominational creeds, and a sad reluctance to tell people
what the apostles said about being saved.
Peter was addressing believers, recently convicted of
sin. He told them to REPENT. Change your mind and your
life. Turn from sin and do it now. You crucified this
Jesus. Now crown Him in your hearts as Lord and Christ.
"And let each one of you be baptized." As you make
this complete and radical change in your attitude and life
(repentance), start obeying the Lord by being baptized, in
accordance with the command of Jesus Himself (Matt. 28:19;
Mrk. 16:16). The Holy Spirit is certainly an active and
involved party in this, since the gospel message was
delivered by Him (1 Pet. 1:12). But there is no evidence
or teaching that the Holy Spirit somehow "infuses" desire
into you, and causes you to want something you are not
willing to receive; or that the Spirit "prepares a place
for Himself" in your heart, "and then moves in" disengaged
from your will and initiative. You can have God, Jesus and
the Holy Spirit in your life, but only as you let them
abide in you (1 Jno. 4:15; Col.1:27; Eph. 5:18).
If you want the remission of sins, read Acts 2:38 again.
What do you think you need to do?
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every
one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
Relevant Questions: Why do so many "evangelicals" deny
that this verse teaches the necessity of baptism? Why do
some of the prominent evangelists and "crusade" preachers
tell people they must believe and repent, but say nothing
of baptism; Peter taught both repentance and baptism. The
convicted, broken-hearted believer is to repent and be
Prove The Spirits
{1 John 4:1}
Kevin Kay
The apostle John wrote his first epistle because: 1)
he wanted his readers to have fellowship with the Father
and the Son (1 Jn. 1:1-4); 2) he wanted to keep Christians
from sin (1 Jn. 2:1); 3) he wanted to warn his brethren
about those who would lead them astray (1 Jn. 2:26); and
4) he wanted to assure Christians that they have eternal
life (1 Jn. 5:13). All of these objectives are
interrelated. Eternal life is maintained by continued
fellowship with the Father and the Son (1 Jn. 5:11-12).
Fellowship with the Father and the Son is maintained by
avoiding sin (1 Jn. 1:6-7). And avoiding sin is
accomplished in a large part by recognizing those who
would lead us astray. John wanted his brethren (and he
wants us) to understand that false doctrine is an
ever-present threat to the salvation of God's people. He
provides us with a solution, however, in the first six
verses of the fourth chapter. In this brief passage, he
tells us WHAT to do WHY we must do it, and HOW.
The Command:
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the
spirits, whether they are of God" (1 Jn. 4:1a). John tells
us first of all that we must not automatically and
gullibly believe every thing that we hear. Just because
the teaching may seem right and sound good and be
presented in a forceful and an eloquent way from a teacher
that we love and respect, these things do not guarantee
its truthfulness. Before Aquila and Priscilla took Apollos
aside and "expounded unto him the way of God more
accurately" (Acts 18:26), all of these things
characterized his teaching; yet he was in error. Now, this
does not mean that we should be suspicious and begin to
see false teachers in every pulpit, but it does mean that
we must be cautious. If we are to avoid the
soul-destroying effects of false doctrine, we must take
heed how we hear (Lk. 8:18).
Then John tells us that we must "prove" the spirits.
Joseph Thayer says that the word "prove" (dokimazo) means
"to test, examine, prove, scrutinize (to see whether a
thing be genuine or not)" (A Greek-English lexicon of the
New Testament, p.154). It was used by the ancients to
describe the process whereby gold or coins were tested to
determine their genuineness (1 Pet. 1:7). W.E. Vine says
that it means "to test, prove, with the expectation of
approving" (The Expanded Vine's Expository Dictionary of
New Testament Words, p.898). This tells us of the kind of
attitude with which we should examine the teachings of
others. Unlike the Jewish leaders who "examined" (peirazo)
Jesus to "ensnare him in his talk" (cf. Mt. 16:1; 19:3;
22:15-18), we must test our teachers with an attitude that
will accept anything and everything from anyone that is
really truth.
John tells us that we must test "every spirit." We
cannot accept the words of our mate, our parents, our
children, the elders, our favorite preacher, the scholars,
our friends, our brethren -- we cannot accept the words of
anyone anywhere anytime without putting them to the test.
Jesus said, "And if the blind guide the blind, both shall
fall into a pit" (Mt. 15:15).
And furthermore, John gives this command, not just to
elders, deacons, preachers, or teachers, but to every
child of God. Every Christian, whether young or old, male
or female, experienced or inexperienced in the faith, has
the God-given responsibility to "prove all things [and]
hold fast that which is good" (1 Th. 5:21). And this
necessarily implies that we can distinguish between truth
and error. Truth is not so obscure and nebulous that we
cannot discover what it is (Eph. 5:17). Yes, there are
difficult questions. The apostle Peter acknowledged this
when he said of Paul's epistles "wherein are some things
hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast
wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their
own destruction" (2 Pet. 3:16). But please note that Peter
said SOME things, not ALL things; he said HARD to be
understood, not impossible to be understood; and he
indicated the IGNORANT and UNSTEDFAST, not the
KNOWLEDGEABLE and WELL-GROUNDED. There seems to be a
growing sentiment among some brethren which says because
we do not know EVERYTHING, we cannot know ANYTHING, and
this is patently false. The MAIN THINGS are the PLAIN
THINGS, and the PLAIN THINGS are the MAIN THINGS!
The Reason:
"Because many false prophets are gone out into the
world" (1 Jn. 4:1b). Testing must be the continual
practice of Christians, because false teaching abounds (2
Jn. 7). This has always been the case, and it always will
be. There were false prophets in Old Testament times (Jer.
23:16, 30-32). Jesus warned of false prophets who would
come in sheep's clothing (Mt. 7:15-20). Paul warned the
Ephesian elders that false teachers would arise from
within their own midst (Acts 20:38-31). Peter warned of
false teachers who would secretly bring in destructive
heresies and with feigned words make merchandise of the
flock (2 Pet. 2:1-3). Personal experience demonstrates
that there are false teachers today. Two people cannot
teach contradictory doctrines and both of them be from
The Means For Testing:
John provided his first-century readers with a
specific test: "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every
spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is of God: and every spirit that confesseth not
Jesus is not of God " (1 Jn. 4:2-3a). Acknowledgment of
the incarnation is a test of truth. John was writing to
combat incipient Gnosticism, which taught as one of its
fundamental tenants that spirit is wholly good and matter
is wholly evil. Therefore, the Gnostics denied the
possibility that God could be incarnate in a physical
body. While Gnosticism is no longer the threat to God's
people that it once was, this specific test is still
important for Christians today. Anyone who would deny that
Jesus was fully God and fully man while on earth does not
have God. Thus, Judaism, Islam, Mormonism, and the
doctrines of the Jehovah's Witnesses must be rejected,
because their "Jesus" is not the Jesus that we read about
in the Bible. But may I also say, as charitably as I know
how, that, at the very least, some of the trumpets among
us seem to be blowing an uncertain sound (1 Cor. 14:8)
with respect to the deity and the humanity of Jesus.
John also provided his first-century readers with a
generic test. "We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth
us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know
the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error" (1 Jn. 4:6).
John says that those who know God hear the apostles. Both
verbs "knoweth" and "heareth" are in the present tense
which denotes a continual practice. We cannot determine
truth by the personality, the character or the ability of
the teacher, by the "success" of his work, by praying to
God, by the "inner witness" of the Spirit, or by our own
feelings and impressions, etc. We distinguish between the
spirit of truth and the spirit of error based upon whether
or not a man preaches and practices the apostles' doctrine
(Gal. 1:6-10; 1 Jn. 2:24). Therefore, may we like the
Beroeans of old receive the word with a headiness of mind
and examine the scriptures daily to see whether the things
we are taught are so (Acts 17:11).
Do You Really Want To Know?
(John 7:14-17)
By Jon Quinn
But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went
up into the temple, and began to teach. The Jews therefore
were marveling, saying, "How has this man become learned,
having never been educated?" Jesus therefore answered
them, and said, "My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent
me. If any man is willing to do His will, he shall know of
the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak
from Myself." (JOHN 7:14-17).
I once was involved in a study of the Bible with a
young couple who were members of a denomination. We were
noticing what the Bible said about baptism and its role in
becoming a disciple of Jesus. The woman had talked to her
clergyman who had denied the very things she was reading
out of her Bible as I directed her from passage to
passage. She was becoming visibly alarmed at what she was
reading and finally in frustration said that her clergyman
had warned her that without attending a theological school
she couldn't possibly understand the Bible on baptism by
just reading it. She needed a professional guide to
interpret things for her. She expressed confidence that he
would not lie to her, so all he said about baptism as well
as about the inability of the common man to understand the
Scripture must be true.
But Jesus said that such was not the case. Isn't it
strange that Jesus found Himself at odds so often with the
clergy of His day? Is Jesus being simplistic when He says
that all one needs is the will to do God's will as he
approaches the things God teaches us in order to know
them? Notice with me some important points on
understanding the Bible from the text above.
"Now these were more noble-minded than those at
Thessalonica, for they received the word with great
eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether
these things were so." (ACTS 17:11).
They wondered how Jesus had "become learned".Though
Jesus was the Son of God, He grew in stature and wisdom as
a human being. Certainly Jesus is an exceptional case, but
the Bible suggests that the proper way to "become learned"
is by a personal, diligent study of the Scriptures. It
calls such an attitude "noblemindedness". In ACTS 17:11,
the Bereans are commended for such. In fact, if they had
gone to the religious leaders and clergymen of their day
with questions about Jesus, they would have received the
wrong answers! They instead went to the Scriptures and got
the right answers. Good for them! Good for us today as
well when we follow suit (EPH 3:4; II TIM 2:15).
"God, after He had spoke long ago to the fathers in
the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these
last days has spoken to us in His Son..." (HEB 1:1,2).
We are fortunate that the Scripture is adequate for
us and we are adequate for the Scripture. By the Scripture
being adequate for us we mean simply that it is a
sufficient guide for our lives. There is simply no need
for a conglomeration of human religious laws and creeds,
which can be quite confusing, especially when they are in
conflict with one another as well as with Scripture (II
By ourselves being adequate for the Scripture we
simply mean that God would not give us a document that we
could not understand and then tell us to understand and
live by it! Yes, we can understand the teachings of God.
Timothy did! Not because he went to a seminary either, but
as Paul told him, "You, however, continue in the things
you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from
whom you have learned them; that from childhood you have
know the sacred writings which are able to give you wisdom
that leads to salvation which is in Christ Jesus" (II TIM
3:14,15). Note two things here: first, that Timothy had
learned these things as a child; and second, He had been
taught them not by a theologian but by his mother and
grandmother (II TIM 1:5).
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free" (JOHN 8:32). Back in our text, Jesus said
that "If any man is willing to do His will, he shall know
of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak
from Myself." Notice some of the implications of the
"If any man..." shows the universality of the
statement. It includes you and your neighbor. The diplomas
and degrees on the wall, or lack of them, does not really
enter into it. A good education may well enhance someones
understanding of the Bible by informing him of how people
lived, dressed, talked and so forth, but it will not save
"...is willing to do His will..." shows the proper
attitude with which one approaches the Scripture. Jesus
mentioned people who did not understand His message, not
because they were intellectually incapable but because
they have "closed their eyes" (MATT 13:14-16, see also the
parable of the sower in the following verses 18-23). It is
not the mere hearer who understands, but the doer of the
word (JAMES 1:22-25).
"...he shall know the teaching..." show the results
of the proper attitude. It is not who you are that
determines how well you understand the teachings of the
Bible but how you approach it. Anyone can twist and
distort the Scriptures, but do so "to their own
destruction" (II PETER 3:16). On the other hand, anyone
can "understand what the will of the Lord is" (EPH 5:17).
"For My hand made all these things, Thus all things
came into being," Declares the Lord. "But to this one I
will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit,
and who trembles at My word." (ISA 66:2). It seems to be a
matter of attitude then. Why does one so readily grasp a
Bible truth while another complains of such difficulty?
Attitude. Why do some go only so far in their growth as
Christians and then stall? Attitude. It is not that the
truth cannot be known, its whether we really want to know
The New Covenant
(2 Cor. 3:6-18)
by Dan Petty
As Paul seeks to defend the integrity of his ministry
in the Second Corinthian epistle, he affirms this
sincerity and boldness in preaching the gospel (1:12;
2:17; 3:12). He affirms that his adequacy is from God, as
a minister of a New Covenant (3:4-5). He affirms that he
does not lose heart as a minister of Christ (4:1-2). What
was the secret of such confidence?
2 Corinthians 3:6-18 is a text full of comparisons as
Paul seeks to explain the superior nature of the New
Covenant, and thus of his ministry. The secret of Paul's
boldness as a minister is to be found in his concept of
the more glorious New Covenant and his opportunity to
preach it.
The New Covenant is more glorious because of its
superior function in God's redemptive purpose (vs. 6-10).
The Old Covenant, written in letters engraved on stones,
was a "ministry of death" (v.7) and a "ministry of
condemnation" (v.9). The New Covenant, by contrast, is a
"ministry of the Spirit" (v.8) and a "ministry of
righteousness" (v.9). The Old Law was a revelation of
God's glory, but it was not a full disclosure of God's
redemptive purposes. Human beings could never be justified
by the works of the Law (Galatians 2:16). It could only
bring condemnation. The Law of Moses was added because of
transgressions "until the seed should come" (Galatians
3:19). Christ, however, enacted a "better covenant" upon
"better promises" (Hebrews 8:6), the forgiveness of sins.
The Law pointed forward to something so superior, the
ministry of righteousness, that its own glory, however
brilliant, was surely to be exceeded.
The covenant of which Paul was a minister is also
more glorious because of its permanence. "For if what is
passing away was glorious, what remains is much more
glorious" (v.11). Paul appeals to an incident in the life
of Moses and uses it allegorically to demonstrate both the
reality and the transience of the glory of that occasion.
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, his face shone
because he had been speaking with God. After he finished
speaking, he put a veil over his face, to remain until his
next visit with Jehovah (Exodus 34:29-35). The veil hid
the fact that the brightness of his face was fading (vs.
7,13). The antitype, Paul argues, is that the glory of the
Old Covenant is now fading away, being superceded by a New
Covenant with greater glory, even as the brightness of the
moon fades before the splendor of the rising sun. The Old
Law was a tutor to lead us to Christ, "but after faith has
come, we are no longer under a tutor" (Galatians 3:24-25).
It was taken away and nailed to His cross (Colossians
2:14). The New Covenant is more glorious because it now
Third, the New Covenant is more glorious because of
the benefits it brings. "Therefore, since we have such
hope, we use great boldness of speech" (v.12). To Paul,
the New Covenant provided hope which the Old could not.
It provides revelation, or enlightenment (vs. 13-16).
Appealing again to the example of Moses, Paul declares
that there is a "veil" that lies over the hearts of those
who still cling to the Old Covenant. It is a veil of
hardness of heart and blindness to the truth, because they
refuse to see Jesus as the Christ who has fulfilled the
Law and its purpose. Satan uses every means to "blind the
minds of the unbelieving" so that the gospel remains
veiled to the perishing (2 Cor. 4:3-4). But through Christ
the veil is removed, and believers are able to see the
"light of the gospel" (cf. Acts 26:18).
The more glorious covenant offers liberation. "Where
the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (v.17). Paul
warned the Galatians to "Stand fast therefore in the
liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be
entangled again with a yoke of bondage" (Galatians 5:1).
The gospel offers man the opportunity to be free from the
Law, from sin, and from condemnation. Why cling to that
which is less glorious?
Finally, the more glorious covenant effects
transformation. He declared, "But we all, with unveiled
face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are
being transformed [from metamorphoo] into the same image
from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord"
(v.18). As we behold the Lord, His life, His teachings,
and His love for us, a "metamorphosis" takes place in us.
Our priorities, our values, and our characters take on a
new form as we focus our attention on the Christ revealed
in the gospel. We can become partakers of His divine
nature (2 Peter 1:3-4), conformed to the image of the Son
of God (Romans 8:29). And Paul says that is exceedingly
glorious -- "from glory to glory."
Thus Paul affirms his devotion to the more glorious
covenant of Christ. Like Paul, let us cling to that more
glorious covenant, so that we can say, "since we have this
ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart"
(2 Corinthians 4:1).

Another possible use would be to help dissipate the heat that is produced by the phone's processor. One quality of sapphire is its ability to spread heat, and using a sapphire-made mount for the processor would take advantage of this property. The patent's focus, however, is on how to securely fasten the material to the handset.
One method is to mix another material with a lower melting point, like metal, into an aperture formed in the sapphire substrate. When cooled and hardened, the metal can be used to connect to other parts by soldering, welding, or by other means. Another method uses a molding, like injection molding, to add a second material to the sapphire substrate. Using notches, steps or other designs, the sapphire part would be fastened to the device.
Last month, Apple received a patent for the use of sapphire on flexible displays. The month before, the Cupertino based firm signed a contract with GT Advanced Technologies for the long term supply of the sapphire material used in the production of Apple's devices. The sapphire material will be produced by GT using its equipment and operators situated in an Apple facility in Mesa.

Tea Party
We frequently receive questions about the relationship between the Libertarian Party and the Tea Party movement.
Below are some of our press releases and other messages that mention the Tea Party movement:
LP Monday Message: Flyer for Tea Parties and Tax Protests (4/5/10):
The April 15 tax filing deadline is right around the corner (a week from Thursday), and along with it, lots of tax day protests and Tea Party protests. In addition to other groups' events, your local Libertarian Party affiliate may have protest plans for that day.
Libertarians issue warning to Tea Partiers (9/10/10):
WASHINGTON - Looking toward the 9/12 Tea Party events in Washington, DC, Libertarian Party executive director Wes Benedict issued the following warning to Tea Partiers: "Republicans are trying to fool you again."
"There are two kinds of Tea Partiers," said Benedict. "One kind is so blinded by its hatred of Obama and Democrats that it cannot see fault with Republicans. It's the other kind the Libertarian Party is reaching out to."
Libertarians: Tea Party betrayed by tiny Republican budget cuts (2/3/11):
WASHINGTON - According to The Hill, House Republicans have just announced that they will seek appropriations for the rest of 2011 that are $32 billion below current spending levels.
LP Chair Mark Hinkle commented, "The Tea Party supporters have been betrayed. These cuts are so small, you need a microscope to find them."

YOU could almost taste the sugar in the air as thousands of cupcakes in every design under the sun arrived for Bournemouth Cupcake Camp.
Professional and amateur bakers who had spent hours in the kitchen shipped around 2,700 of the mini-masterpieces into the Pavilion for an eagerly-awaited competition.
Pints of Guinness, Red Arrows, a Spaghetti Bolognese, a tiny Mona Lisa, Olympic torches and a spread of ice-cream cone shaped cakes were among the saccharine offerings.
Following a stampede of sweet-toothed visitors to last year's inaugural camp in Poole, organisers spent months planning the free event in aid of the NSPCC.
ChildLine founder Esther Rantzen was enlisted to judge the competition's 13 categories. "I knew I was exactly the right person for this job," she said.
"I'm a hearty, expert cupcake eater. I may be a hopeless cupcake maker, but I'm a wonderful eater of cupcakes. I just haven't got this brilliant artistry."
As she browsed the array, Esther admitted her all-time favourite is carrot cake.
"I've just spotted a carrot cupcake over here so will definitely be trying one of those later," she drooled.
"These cakes are just making my mouth water. Anything with chocolate in the title is a good shout, and there's spiced cakes, and ones with secret fillings.
"I'm going to have to try that. I think I may be here some time, and leave two stone heavier than I arrived."
Fellow judge Ms Cupcake – aka Mellissa Morgan, who has a bakery in Brixton, London and an international publishing deal – said competition was fierce.
"People have spent days making these, I can tell they have been planning for a year and doing trials," she said.
"You start to eat before you even bite into a cupcake.
"Innovation, creativity and a flavour of the dramatic is always lovely. Love has to be baked into every single cake," she added.
Organisers Margaret Hitchman, from Cake Heaven, and Melanie Kiani, of Simply Events, laid on a stage show, a raffle for Diverse Abilities Plus, and a crèche.
"We've tried to make it bigger and more exciting, with reasons for people to stay for the whole three hours," Melanie, 36, said.
Maisie Costin, seven, entered Buckingham Palace cupcakes inspired by the Diamond Jubilee.
The young baker said: "They took me two or three hours.
"I made one, which went OK and then I had to make all six.
"The palace is made out of petal paste. I normally make cakes for home."

Dodge for Love
February 3, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The second annual Dodge for Love event will be held this Saturday, February 4 in the new gym to collect money for NDP's beloved Yeardley Love Reynolds turf field. Last year was the first year the fundraiser was held, and it was a huge success and a lot of fun. The tournament costs $10 a person, and there must be eight people on each team. Last year there was a total of twenty seven teams which means over two hundred people played dodge ball while around a hundred more paid $5 to watch the event. The total money raised last year was around $3,000, which was a great way to start off savings for the field. Yeardley Love t-shirts and stickers have also been wildly popular in the NDP community, which has raised another $3,000 towards the cause.
Although the Dodge for Love tournament was extremely popular last year, it is even more so in 2012. This year there are fifty-seven registered teams and over four hundred t-shirts have been ordered. There are over four hundred fifty people playing in the tournament and two hundred fifty watching. Altogether the amount of money that has been raised this year is around $7,000, making it almost a double amount of money from last year. The Dodge for Love dodge ball tournament is a fun way that the NDP community can come together while raising money for a great cause. This event will become one of the many traditions at NDP, and it will help to keep the spirit of Yeardley alive forever.

For Online Computer Support, Ask a Computer Technician
If you can connect your 430 to your machine using the parallell to USB adapter you should then be able to open control panel from the Start menu then choose add printer and when it prompts for a driver choose the HP 4L driver and see if it works for you.
The reason you use the 4L driver is that a little known fact is that Canon acually manufactured the LBP430 series and a couple of others for HP to rebadge and sell as their own.
Try that and let meknow if you have any issues
Do you have the HP 6 or HP6P driver available?
If so they should also work, If not let me know if you have an XP disk so I can show you how to get the drivers or give you a link to the driver.
There is no driver for HP 6(6P)
I have XP disk
First can you try the windows 7 version of the HP4 driver from here http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=15042&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=25487
Let me know if it will allow you to install using it or if not we can extract the XP driver from your disk
Let me know if you have any issues
It was helpfull tip
it's working now
Thank you very much
Glad that worked for you, If you need help with anything else just let me know
Thanks again

Four friends take a canoeing trip through a remote mountain area soon to be destroyed by a dam project. However, their trip turns nightmarish as inbred locals take two hostage, and seem determined to rid themselves of all four men.
On one level a boy's own adventure gone bad; on another a nightmarish vision of a land destroyed by civilisation (echoing the ecological message of James Dickey's original novel), John Boorman's odyssey of four men (Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty and Ronny Cox) on their fateful canoe trip resonates with a chilling power that far transcends its "Squeal like a pig!"/Duelling Banjos reputation.
Deeply haunting, right from the quartet's initial encounter with a foreboding albino boy, to a shock finale that lingers for what feels like an eternity.
The gorgeous backdrop of the film makes the violence and darkness even more disturbing - but this is more than just a horror film. There's real substance in themes, performances and John Boorman's superb direction.

How did we do? Week 12 Big Ten picks revisited
Before we turn our attention to Week 13, it's time to review how BTN.com fans, Tom Dienhart and yours truly did with our Week 12 predictions. It was a perfect showing for BTN.com fans, which means they jump Dienhart and move into sole possession of first place. Dienhart and I both went 5-1, as we incorrectly picked Michigan State to beat Northwestern. SEASON RECORDS BTN.com fans: 69-21; .767 Tom: 68-22; .755 Brent: 64-26; .711 Penn State 45, Indiana 22 Tom's pick: Penn State, 44-21 – Expect another big game from Nittany Lions running back Zach Zwinak, which will fuel play-action

SO first off I do like this pack.. while it does lack some things that I would prefer like a place to hold my bow or rifle it is still a decent rig... the reason I gave the two stars is because of the poor customer service I experienced when I had an issue arise with this pack and needed it taken care of by Sportsman's Warehouse since it is their brand. The hip buckle on this pack completely cracked on me while I was hunting and I called sportsmans to see about getting it replaced and they informed me since it was their brand they would swap out the bag for me with an identicle one and that they had 5 in stock, so I drove from east boise to meridian after work to swap the bag and when I got there a gentleman in camping informed me they did not have any of these bags in the store but he could swap out the buckle for me and I said okay sounds great... well he led me up the register and left me there to pay for a brand new buckle for a bag that was initially supposed to be replaced.. the buckle I purchased is less than amazing... the female end doesn't tighten down, only the male end does...im really not pleased with sportsmans on this one and don't feel taken care of. I've made it a habit to purchase the vast majority of my hunting and fishing supplies(including a $600 PSE compound bow this month) from you guys because I really do like you guys over the other companies in town and one of the major reasons was because you actually have great customer service.. I just have a sour taste in my mouth now though..
