Guide part 2
The Basics
Do yourself a big favour and read the manual. Prior to every game session, you should always go into the Options Menu and re-center your gunnery stick so that you insure that your reticle can reach every allowed angle on the HUD. Once that is done, you should probably do some set up with where you place the controller. Your choice of furniture is crucial since you want the foor unit placed in a position almost directly under the larger console. The best object for this is a cheap folding card table and similar chair.
One of the primary reasons for placing the foot unit in such a position is to reduce wear and tear on it. By pressing directly down on the pedals instead of forwards and down like the accelerator in your automobile, you can extend the life of the foot unit by a considerable margin. The same attention should be given to the larger console - the joysticks should not be twisted, banged, or knocked around - even if you are losing in the game - spending another $200 on replacements will not do your wallet or your gaming library any service. Keep the eject button open and uncovered so you can skip fooling with the plastic cover; that split second may be all that's needed to save your butt in Campaign Mode. Now let's take a quick look at what controls govern what on your controller.
The Controller - Foot Unit
The foot unit governs forward motion in conjunction with the gear shift on the left console. The right pedal is the accelerator; depressing it fully will yield more power, up to an effective maximum for that particular gear for that particular Vertical Tank (VT) model.
The left pedal is the dodge pedal. The dodge is more of a "jump" than a dodge in Steel Battalion. Your VT will quickly "dodge" forwards in any gear except reverse (in which case, it goes backwards) and if the left stick is neutral. The left stick on the left console (which governs the VT's horizontal yaw) will allow the VT to strafe-dodge left or right depending if the stick is held left or right when the dodge pedal is pressed - it does not matter if your VT is in gear when the stick is used in conjunction with the dodge pedal.
The middle pedal is the least used, but for all intents, it is the braking and deceleration function. Most of the time, you will simply dodge (resets your ground speed to zero) to stop instead of simply braking, although braking may sometimes save your life (i.e., you're about to fall off the dock and into the sea in Mission 4). If you are very clever, you can even salvage the braking pedal's springs to be used on the accelerator pedal when the original springs give out, although it may be such a hassle you may as well contact Sammy of America for suitable replacements.
The Controller - Left Console
The left console has the all important gear shifter and left joystick (with sight change). Without them, your VT cannot move or steer! The gear shifter is rather stiff - if you prefer, you should always use your palm/finger or a finger/thumb combination to push the shifter up or down by using the top and bottom edges of the left console as leverage. Unless you are consistently playing Line of Contact, you can probably learn to leave your gear shifter in forward gear 2 or 3 (depending on your VT) and simply accelerate to your desired speed. We mention Line of Contact since that game uses a different method of acceleration than the first game (LOC VTs act more like 5-speed manual in a car, with a required engine RPM).
The left stick is vital since it serves as your VT's steering wheel. While moving forwards or backwards, the stick will steer your VT in that heading. Note that the left stick does not depress forwards or backwards (it would've been nice to allow for such customisation). The smaller thumbstick (here on referred to as Sight Change) directs your view in such a way as torso turning did in previous versions of Mechwarrior. In short, Sight Change adjusts your pilot's view (since the guns can be moved independently of Sight Change) and can allow you to see in a direction that is not along your VT's direction of movement. Pressing in on the Sight Change will immediately center your view to the direction your VT is pointing, so keep that in mind if you get disoriented (that will happen many times - even after you are accustomed to the game).
The left console also has the five flip switches that are needed to start up your VT. You can leave them in the OFF position (unless you are playing Line Of Contact, in which case, leave them ON) in order to let you start up faster when you die or restart a mission. The mission start-up sequence will be one thing you will not particularly savour after doing it 65 Billion times. To preserve your flip switches, you may want to gently nudge them ON then OFF so that they emit a gentle cluck instead of a hard click. Currently, there are no solutions to fixing a broken flip switch, unless you are good with a soldering iron and have a discount at Radio Shack.
The Controller - Center Console
The center console is impressive if only because the majority of the functions for managing weapons and other systems on your VT are housed there. The communication buttons across the top of the console each hold specific functions as detailed in the manual. In general, if it's glowing and lit it can be pushed to achieve a result. The first button is for confirmation and for initiating a communique, whereas the second is for request for a repetition of the transmission. Unless you are totally into ham radio, always press the first button to finish off a communication from HQ (Argus). The third and fourth buttons are for Supply Request and Request Back-up (2080) respectively. These depend on who is available at the time, and whether or not if you have Supply Points for supplies or Oscar-1 for back up in the 2080 missions. The radio tuner works in conjunction with the virtual radio band in your VT's cockpit. Each channel is detailed on the mission preparation screen, so you should do well to remember them before deploying the mission.
The various green buttons on the right side of the center console are for the various functions of your VT - the nightscope, detaching external fuel slugs, enabling the manipulator arm, activating override, etc. Depending on the technology and capabilities available on your VT, some, none, or all of these functions may be available. The F3 key has no function in Steel Battalion except for Mission 16. Of important note is the Line Colour Change button - you will need to use it often to change the colours on the HUD so that you can make out the various information on your HUD, depending on the background the HUD is placed against.
The elongated buttons on the bottom of the center console are self exlpanatory. The fire extinguisher, chaff, and wash are to deal with cockpit issues; you have unlimited use of all three except for Chaff, which is determined by your VT. Chaff is used primarily against guide missile weapons, many of which can kill most VTs in one or two hits. The main and sub buttons are for selecting your armaments - again, self explanatory. The magazine change is for the main weapon. Only main weapons have extra magazines that can be used to refresh a depleted one. Be sure to note your shots, or you may wind up ammo-less in a battle.
The Controller - Right Console
The right console is the gunnery and submonitor console. The right stick is the most important key there since it allows you to aim and fire your weapons! Note that the right stick does not auto center, since the position it is depressed off center is the position where the gun will aim in relation to the direction the VT is facing. The three main buttons on the right stick are lock-on, fire main weapon, and fire secondary weapon. Get used to the fact the main weapon is on the thumb button and not the trigger - the trigger is a relatively dicey deal, with occasional contact bugs. Be sure to test out the controls in the control verification menu before each game session!
The monitor and radar controls are at the bottom of the right console. The submonitor can be your best friend or your worst enemy. If left to the Front View, it can serve as a picture-in-picture view of what's in front of your VT and where you're going. It can also be used for the Back View, Gun View, or Sky View. Experiment with each to see which view you prefer. The radar can be open and closed (more HUD area) and adjusted to display various data about the mission. The range is easily adjusted for far and near enemies and can be used with the zoom in and zoom out keys to spot enemies. The short draw distance of enemies though (the pop-up) is dangerously horrible so the zoom function won't be used often.
Finally, the start up and eject (abort mission) buttons are on the very right. Apart from the start-up sequences, the cockpit, ignition, and start buttons are not used (except for cheats). The cover for the eject button should be left open as discussed before to allow you the ability to escape alive without fumbling for the key. That split second may keep your profile alive for the next try.
Your HUD And You - What's On Screen Number One?
Various facts on your VT can be spotted in the cockpit view and accompanying HUD. Armour is estimated in gross increments of 25% (usually on the bottom left). Fuel levels, both internal and external, can be viewed on the bottom left, as well as weapons, radar, chaff canisters remaining, and the current radio communication band. Locking onto an enemy VT will also yield its make and distance from your VT.
A compass heading is displayed on screen, with accompanying markers for the cardinal points. Unless it is absolutely necessary, directions (north, south, east, west) won't be used in the guide since each stage is generally so distinct in its feel and in its features that compass headings are not needed.
The gunnery reticles will show where both weapons (main and sub) are aiming, and when locked onto a target, it will give a "in-range" notice as well (using the green, blue, and orange line colours - not black or white). When a weapon is out of its effective range, the corresponding circle (main is the inner circle, sub is the outer circle) will turn from red to yellow. When a weapon is in the range where it may fire, it's corresponding circle will be red. Take notice of this and you will never waste ammo to "range your shots" again.

Smelting Recipes
Meteoric Iron ore has a 1 in 5 chance of dropping when you break a fallen meteor with a diamond pickaxe
NASA Workbench
The NASA Workbench is used to craft all spaceships (currently only one type), and other space vehicles such as Moon Buggys. Upon right-clicking the NASA workbench you will see the following interface:
All parts required for the vehicles can be found below.
Since 0.0.10, Rocket NASA Workbenches have a new model. They also need a 3x3 square of free space to place.
Launch Pad
The launch pad is required for the launch of any spacecraft. To allow a spaceship to be placed, there must be a 3 x 3 launch pad, as shown in the image below:
Space Stations
Space Stations is a new feature added in 0.1.23 that allows a player to create their own personal space station! Customize and make yours unique! To allow friends to join your space station, use the /ssinvite [player] command or change the config value for "Space Stations Require Permission" to false.
Space Stations require 16 Tin, 8 Steel and 12 Iron ingots to create.
Tin Canister
Copper Canister
Air Vent
Oxygen Concentrator
Air Fan
Portable Oxygen System
Since 0.1.26, crafted oxygen tanks will be empty and have to be filled:
Oxygen Tanks are a player's source of oxygen when exploring a planet. After pressing the Galacticraft Player inventory key (default "R"), a GUI appears with new slots for oxygen gear. The tanks are placed like so:
You can fill/refill tanks using the Oxygen Compressor, as seen below.
Here is a fully functioning Portable Oxygen System:
Rocket Fuel
Rocket Fuel is required for the launch of all spacecraft.
Since 0.0.10, rocket fuel has undergone an overhaul.
To get a filled fuel canister, first you need to craft an empty liquid canister.
You then need to create a Portable Oil Extractor
To fill the liquid canister, you will need to mine between level 20 and level 30 until you find an oil deposit. You can then use your extractor to fill the empty liquid canister. Please leave feedback on oil spawning rate (too high or too low).
To process the crude oil into usable Rocket Fuel, you need to make a refinery.
After connecting your refinery to a power source, you can then use your refinery to process the oil by connecting an electrical source.
Loading Rocket Fuel
Crafting a Fuel Loader:
To setup a launch station, place a Fuel Loader beside the launch pad and connect a power source to the Fuel Loader.
After creating this or a similar setup, add a fuel tank into the fuel loader and it will pump fuel into the spaceship on the launch pad.
Oxygen Distribution
Just like the Oxygen Tank system, there is also more permenant ways of breathing on other planets. This is the recommended system of staying alive for homes and bases throughout the Galaxy.
All oxygen distribution blocks (except for the oxygen pipe) require a power input and an oxygen input/output.
The Oxygen Collector is used to collect oxygen from nearby leaves (from trees). Once a Collector has been placed in the vacinity of enough leaves, it will blow fresh oxygen through adjacent Oxygen Pipes.
Oxygen pipes are used to connect various Oxygen Distribution and Manipulation devices.
The Oxygen Distributor, once connected to an Oxygen Pipe with sufficient oxygen flowing through it, will distribute the oxygen into a sphere of breathable oxygen blocks.
The Oxygen Compressor, once connected to an Oxygen Pipe with sufficient oxygen flowing through it, will refill depleted oxygen tanks that are placed inside.
Sensor Lens
Sensor Goggles
While wearing Sensor Goggles, the following interface will appear. Any mobs (not including other players) will appear a bright blue, which helps with sight of mobs on dark planets.
Sensor Goggles allow you to find ore blocks in a nearby radius, without being too overpowered.
With Advanced Mode off, as shown below, the interface will display where ore blocks ore located relative to player head rotation. Only ore within 3 blocks of the player will be displayed.
With Advanced Mode on, as shown below, the indicator also checks distance from player on the y-axis aswell. This is more useful, but will take a bit more getting used to.
Air Lock
To set up an Air Lock, place two Air Lock Frames on each side, and two on the top and bottom. Connect a redstone wire to the side frames and power the wires to enable the lock. More functionality will be added for this feature in the near future.
Rocket Fin
Nose Cone
Rocket Engine
Heavy Plating
Decoration Blocks
Flag Pole
Parachutes are used to make safe landings on Planets and Moons. Coloring your parachute is purely aesthetic.
Claim your territory with a flag with your face on it! Flags are dyeable with all vanilla minecraft dyes.

In 1996, Allan Weisbecker sold his home and his possessions, loaded his dog and surfboards into his truck, and set off in search of his longtime friend and surfing companion, Christopher, who had vanished into the depths of Central America.In this rollicking memoir of his quest from Mexico to Costa Rica to unravel the circumstances of Christopher's disappearance, Weisbecker intimately describes the people he befriended, the bandits he evaded, and the waves he caught and lost en route to finding his friend. Along the way, he shares hilarious stories of his adventures with Christopher in their carefree youth as globetrotting, pot-dealing beach bums.A tale of lost innocence and enduring friendship, In Search of Captain Zero is a trip unlike any other.More
"[E]nchanting....[Weisbecker's] adventures are as thrilling and as entertaining as any fictional road trip could ever hope to be....This memoir is, like any good autobiography, a journey to the place where memories live, an adventure of the mind." (Booklist)
"[A] lovely personal reflection that mixes the right amount of dreamy meditation with page-turning allure....Weisbecker clearly delights in storytelling as much as he enjoys language itself." (Publishers Weekly)

Great Surf Adventure Story
The narrator does a wonderful job. If I didn't check I would be sure it was the actual author narrating. Pronounced all the slang and spanish well. Also sounds like a white guy in the 50 year old range.
The end of the search is emotional. Some surprises, and then some mid-life crisis/soul-searching stuff that you can either leave or take depending in your own feelings and views on life.
Definitely recommended for anyone who likes surf, travel, or central america. I like all, so it was a great book. Especially for surfing, which is pretty limited on good books. In the world there are lots of magazine articles, movies and pictures on surfing. Even some good biographies, but not all that many great surf adventure tales in book form.

Tye Rock Porthleven
See our spectacular Clifftop House in Porthleven
Tye Rock Porthleven was commissioned in May 1883 by John Peverel Rodgers of Penrose and built by a team of Irish labourers and was originally known as Rockville.
Prior to the Normandy landings Rockville was requisitioned by the American Army and the 29th Infantry Division 1st Platoon.
The house was renamed Tye Rock Hotel and became a favourite holiday location for regular guests, artists and writers with The Times newspaper describing the house in 1913 as 'the best seaside house in Cornwall... an ideal place for those returning from hot countries or requiring a mild winter climate.'
Due to its southerly view of only the Atlantic, the property has often appeared on the front pages of National Newspapers and on Television to illustrate the enormous breakers and spray in extreme weather conditions. However on sunny days the turquoise water and empty white sandy beach below is comparable to anywhere in the world with Loe Bar, the mysterious sand barrier, separating Cornwall's largest freshwater lake, Loe Pool, from the sea. King Arthur's sword Excalibur was reputedly thrown into Loe Pool.
Tye Rock Hotel was eventually restored to a private residence and then for the last six years it has been a popular family seaside holiday home loved by all ages and known as Tye Rock Manor.

It may be a bank holiday in the UK, but the Bordelais are keeping up the momentum. With so many public holidays in May, it would seem that the need to 'get-on-with-it' has finally been heeded. The ever popular Chateau Talbot has released at £290 per dozen. With most physical vintages trading at £400 per case or more this solid St Julien is a pretty safe bet. Next we have one of our 'best value' picks, Chateau Chasse Spleen. Along with Cantemerle this was the class act of the Haut Medoc, Moulis, Listrac tasting. It is a surprisingly sophisticated and classy glass of wine for £175 per case! Something that is less likely to be found in our glass is Troplong Mondot. This bruising St Emilion is never short of alcohol, tannin and extract. It's not our cup of tea – but each to their own (£280/6).
The wines of Pauline Calvet are perennial favourites of ours. Made from his estate close to the Rocade, and not far from Haut Brion, the wines of Picque Caillou are classy and very affordable Pessac Leognans. The Blanc is made in minute quantities and is often a match for the big names in the commune. At £140 per dozen, this zesty, mineral, racy number is an absolute bargain! Pauline's red is less consistent, but when it is good it's very good indeed. The 2014 is spot on with lots of ripe berry fruit and nothing too forced or aggressive - a very honest and well-priced Pessac (£120/dozen).
Finally we have Olivier Bernard's Chateau Guiraud from Sauternes (£150 per 6). This has received some stunning scores from the critics:
'A juicy, engaging core of apricot, nectarine and green fig is backed by ginger and spiced apple accents. Orange zest notes enliven the finish even more. Shows solid length, power and precision. 94–97/100' - J.M. The Wine Spectator
'The Château Guiraud 2014 has a perfumed bouquet with clear honey, beeswax and honeysuckle aromas that are well defined. The palate is fresh and taut on the entry: good tension and focus here, very harmonious with a gently build in the mouth towards a satisfying marmalade and quince-driven finish. This is a finely crafted Guiraud that will be a class act. 93-95/100' – Neal Martin, erobertparker.com
We are very proud to be agents for the Guinaudeau wines in the UK. Jacques, Sylvie, Baptiste, Julie and their team are meticulous vignerons who constantly strive to improve all their wines. Chateau Lafleur, recently described as "one of the world's greatest red wines" by the Wall Street Journal's Will Lyons, quite rightly takes most of the plaudits. This magnificent terroir produces one of the most unique and mesmerising wines from anywhere in the world. However, the same painstaking level of detail goes into their other cuvees: Grand Village Blanc, Grand Village Rouge, Les Champs Libres and "G", making them not only some of the most interesting wines from the region, but also some of the best value.
Having located the perfect "St Emilion" terroir in the appellation of Fronsac, the Guinaudeaus planted the vineyard using a massale selection of vines from Lafleur. The 2014 "G" Acte 6 is perhaps the breakthrough vintage for this wine. Previous efforts have all been wonderful wines, but they perhaps lacked the sense of identity we found in the 2014. Acte 6 is a staggeringly beautiful example of Cabernet Franc, with a nobility that bears more than a passing resemblance to Lafleur, albeit in a slightly less grand and intellectual fashion. The family are clearly very pleased that their vision and hard work has reaped such glorious results.
At Jacques and Sylvie's home estate of Grand Village, the wines go from strength to strength. Again, the regal Cabernet Franc aromatics give this a class and presence above and beyond its humble price tag. This may only be 'Bordeaux AOC', but this is a Guinaudeau wine, produced with exceptional skill and all the resources at their disposal. This is very real and vital; a proper wine with beautifully delineated flavours that will delight drinkers for years to come. The Grand Village Blanc is a most refreshing antidote to the ubiquitous style of Sauvignon Blanc – it is perhaps the most mineral and refined example we can remember tasting.
Things appear to be moving a bit today. Other notable releases include, Jonathan Maltus' Le Dome and Teyssier as well as Calon Segur's sister property, Chateau Capbern (formally Capbern Gasqueton).

IB stands for In Bond. Wines that are stored In Bond have not had UK Duty and VAT paid on them.
Most of our wines are available for purchase under bond, as fine wines often need to be laid down in order to allow them to mature. Many clients choose therefore to store them in our bonded warehouse and pay the tax as and when they wish to get the wines delivered. Please note that Wines purchased In Bond can be exported to non-EU countries without the need for Duty and VAT to be paid.
DP stands for duty paid. If you wish to get wines delivered for drinking, the duty and VAT will need to be paid as it leaves its bonded state in the warehouse. The wine is then said to be duty paid.
All taxes must be paid in order for us to be authorised to ship or deliver wine (unless the wine is bonded and being moved to another bonded warehouse or being shipped directly outside of the EU.)
EP stands for En Primeur. These wines are currently held with the Estate and Domaine's we work with and will be shipped in due course.

We have posted a Korean-language essay by Dr. Sun Gun Lee, the Director of the Korean Language Center of New York (which is affiliated with the Korean Culture Research, Inc.). He is also the Executive Director of the Korean Language Association, and the former President of the National Association for Korean Schools, Northeast Chapter. He received his B.A. and M.A. in Korean literature at Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea, and he received his Ph.D. in linguistics from Ankara University in Turkey in 1973.
After he came to the United States in 1975, Dr. Lee has worked tirelessly to teach the Korean language to U.S.-born Korean Americans and to non-Korean Americans. In particular, he has taught Korean language and customs to many Korean adoptees and U.S.-born Korean adults who have faced discrimination from fellow Koreans because of their lack of mother-tongue fluency. He has been able to do this with little monetary compensation for nearly forty years because of his strong love and affinity towards the Korean language. Among his many contributions to Korean language education, he has worked hard to promote the Korean language in American high schools and has participated in making Korean textbooks. In 2004, he also established the Korean Heritage School of Adoptees. As the name of the school suggests, it focuses on expanding Korean language and cultural education for young Korean adoptees. In this essay, Dr. Lee describes these experiences as a Korean language teacher in great detail.
Below is a short excerpt from Dr. Sun Gun Lee's essay:
"한국어반이 개설되고 3년 후, 두 학교로부터 한국어반이 성공적으로 운영되고 있다는 기쁜 소식을 전해 들었다. 첫 학기에 26명이었던 팰리사이드 파크 고등학교의 한국어반 수강생은 2년 후 115명으로 증가하였고, 릿지필드 메모리얼 고등학교의 한국어반 수강생은 첫 학기 36명에서 2년 후 80명으로 늘어났고 초등학교 4,5학년 전 학생 240명도 1주일에 한 시간씩 한국어 수업을 받고 있었다. 이는 기적과 같은 놀라운 발전이었다. 동포들의 도움으로 한국어정규과목채택 추진회가 후원금을 모금하고, 한국정부에서도 지원금을 보내준 결과, 우리 한인 2세들뿐만 아니라 미국 학생들도 한국어를 배울 수 있게 된 것이다."

Almost every week there seems to be another trendy diet plan circulating around the press and internet. Some diets may have a useful application, for example if you are intolerant of some foods or need to lose weight quickly for health reasons. Others, however, seem to have no basis in fact at all.
Take a look below for our take on the four diet myths you should definitely stop believing.
Perhaps the golden rule: Never trust a 'quick fix' diet. They might work, yes, but the results are almost never going to last. The problem with most of them is that they rely on a very simple purge of certain foods. Cut out meat and bread and feel the effects in days – even someone who is healthy and already happy with their weight can shed pounds with these types of diets, the problem is though, that they're impossible to maintain for any length of time. Low carb diets are popular but your body needs carbs for energy, and as soon as you start eating them again you are likely to pile the weight back on.
One of the biggest and most common diet myths is that cutting out fat is good for you. It isn't. Your body needs fat just like it needs every other type of nutrient, and cutting fat out completely is not the right way to improve your overall health. Of course if you are someone who eats too much fat normally, then you may be right to cut some out, but most nutrition experts agree that about a third of your daily calories should come from fat in a balanced diet. Your body needs fat for energy, tissue repair and to transport vitamins around the body, so cutting it out completely can be as bad for you as eliminating any other type of food.
Wrong. A lot of people cite athletes like Michael Phelps when they talk about eating a lot to support their training regime; the Olympic swimmer reportedly takes in 12,000 calories a day when training in order to support his regime. But unless you're a professional athlete, the same isn't going to apply to you. The best way to gauge how many calories you should eat in a day is to speak with a nutritionist or personal trainer so that you can work out a fitness strategy. You can do this on your own, but working with someone who understands how the body gains and loses fat is the best way to ensure the right results.
A lot of modern diets are based on the way you look, indeed, some of them rely on it. But sometimes you will not notice results immediately and some studies show that, unfortunately, not noticing results fast enough is one of the biggest reasons that people give up on diets. For a lot of people, weight loss is about making themselves look better, and very often it takes a long time to notice differences in your physical appearance. It can be disheartening when you've lost a few pounds but can't see it in the mirror, but that is when you most need to keep going, because you'll feel amazing when you do.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - French insurer AXA (AXAF.PA) has no plans to merge with large rivals, its chief executive told a German newspaper, responding to recent speculation about a possible takeover of Italian peer Generali (GASI.MI).
"That makes no sense at all," Thomas Buberl told Sueddeutsche Zeitung, adding that taking over large rivals would require too much capital and resources, keeping Axa from taking on what he said will be future rivals such as Google (GOOGL.O), Apple (AAPL.O) and Facebook (FB.O).
Speculation about a merger between the AXA and Generali has re-emerged in recent months.
"We are big enough," Buberl, who took over as AXA's CEO in September, was quoted as saying, chiming with recent comments from Philippe Donnet, CEO of Generali, who said the company was not planning to merge with AXA or with any other group.

An Argument Against Posting
the Ten Commandments
Rev. David O. Jones
It has become a popular element of ministry these days to promote the display of the Ten Commandments in various public settings. Nearly every County Commission and City Council in Tennessee has been urged to have the Commandments printed, engraved and/or displayed in Court Houses, City Halls, and schools.
Tens of thousands of dollars are being raised and spent in the pursuit of this cause. Christians of every doctrine and denomination have asserted their support of the cause. But it is a cause which is doomed to failure. The public display of the Ten Commandments does not change anything. Rather their posting in a government supported institution, especially a school, is akin to hanging a Channel No 5 label on a skunk and calling it "fragrant" or advising a heroin addict to "Just say no" and presuming him clean. If the substance is not changed, what purpose is served?
Displaying the Ten Commandments in a government school, is nothing more than affixing a "Christian Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" upon corruption. The conduct within the buildings will not change. Government schools might look good on the outside, but they would continue to be the habitation of death—perfect examples of what Christ called whitewashed tombs.
Every word of the Commandments speaks against the foundations and practices within the walls of the government schools. Having administrators posting them in a government school is the height of contradiction and hypocrisy.
#1.You shall have no other gods before Me.
#2. You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
#3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
#4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy
The first four Commandments contain our duty toward God, but the government schools declare that there is no God. They then systematically begin to invent their own god—the state. God is the one we look to for truth, for rule, for order, for provision, for nurture. Students in the government school are given an alternative to the Lord God Almighty, the Government Almighty. Where should we desire that our children look for the solution to all problems?
Within the government schools no word rules, no entity provides outside the State. Thanksgiving is not a holiday to celebrate God's provision, but rather a love-feast between European intruder and Native American victim. Christmas is Santa's day and Easter is a holiday for the spring equinox. But within every government school, Halloween is a joyous celebration of evil and death.
What we used to call locker-room language has not remained there. Now it is the common language of student and teacher, administrator and janitor. It is published in the textbooks. In the government school only one can determine right or wrong, what is good or bad, what leads to life or death, and that one is not the Holy One of Israel.
To call attention to our duty toward God is just not the purpose of the government school, it is entirely opposed to their purpose. Their caretakers will resist any such notion.
#5. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.
#6. You shall not murder.
#7. You shall not commit adultery.
#8. You shall not steal.
#9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
#10. You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.
The remaining six Commandments contain our duty toward man. They expose the corruption within the government schools to an even greater degree. The 5th Commandment is called "the first commandment with promise." It provides an assurance of continuity within society when the young "honor" their parents. Yet those within government schools are—with increasing frequency—advising students not to tell their parents what happened that day in class. An elementary class researches witchcraft on the internet. High schoolers are versed that the only way to achieve self-realization is suicide. But don't tell mom and dad!
While the Commandments promote obedience to, respect of, learning from and care for parents, children within the government schools are taught to recognize their superiority over their parents.
The 6th and 7th Commandments address a person's responsibility toward the life and person of others, but the government school promotes self over all. They teach by word and example that each person must live for themselves and for the fulfillment of their own desires. While the faculty extol the virtue of a woman's "right to choose," the government school's nurse advises troubled teens where to go for "helpful advice."
Promiscuity may not reign supreme, but not because of a lack of promotion within the government schools. From questionable reading assignments, to classroom "non-critical" discussion of "alternative" lifestyles, to readily available condoms, the student is encouraged to explore their sexuality at the expense of others (and eventually of themselves).
In order to create the great utopian society envisioned within the government school, private property must be denied. Excessive taxation must be promoted. (Taxation is excessive when the combined levy of all levels of civil government exceeds the 10% allowed in Scripture. Most would argue for no taxation without the consent of the governed, but not even the governed can approve of what God Himself denies.) So the 8th Commandment exposes the government school's promotion of theft.
To teach human origin as being evolutionary fact is a lie. To teach that the moral character of public figures has no relevance is a lie. To teach that history has no meaning for today is a lie. To teach that mediocrity is acceptable is a lie. To teach that any socio-economic group of men is evil is a lie. The 9th Commandment exposes the government school's commitment to the perversion of and denial of truth.
The political and social reforms promoted by the government school are directed toward equality of result rather than equality of opportunity. The desire is that everyone should be able to enjoy the same lifestyle without earning it.
Reason dictates that if a student is told they should have the same things as Johnny, but is not given the tools or opportunity to earn those things, the unmet expectations will result in covetousness. And covetousness will result in theft, whether personally or by force through taxation. Note that the 10th Commandment prohibits covetousness in four areas—possessions, family and employees, as well as means of production. The government schools practice the "politics of envy."
After reviewing the Ten Commandments, it becomes apparent that every one of the ten speak to a false belief and practice within the government school. In several places of the New Testament, we are told that salvation is not possible through the Law. They were given to reveal our sin to us. They do not draw us to the Saviour, they only confirm our guilt.
Posting the Ten Commandments in government schools is an act of futility. The cause is birthed in an admirable desire to present a standard of morality which would result in a higher ethical performance among our citizens. But the Commandments will not improve anything or restore anything. Only our Lord Jesus Christ can save. Only He can improve and restore. It is easy to get caught up in what seems to be a worthwhile cause, but this one will not provide positive results. Let us set our labour on real results. Let Christians concentrate on teaching children truth and virtue in their own homes and their own schools and let the pagans have the government schools to themselves.

I used paper mart last time and they were great. The smallest one they have is a 3x3x3" cube.
This time I'm looking for a sample box that is a bit flatter:
2 1/2" x 2 1/2"x 1"
Anyone have another source?
I use uline.ca (or uline.com) for most of my boxing and shelving etc needs. they have tonnes of awesomely handy stuff...at the very least, request a catalog.
heres some i found, but they arent your EXACT measurments..
and heres some more..these would be cute with colored tissue paper (if possible) but i am not sure if they are what you are looking for.
Thanks, That one is smaller than the one I have but I'd realy like a flatter box. I'm thinkin git would be easier to package cake samples.
Anyone else??? I know they are out there somewhere.
Maybe you could try the box they use at weddings to put the cake in for guests. They have some which are plain.
I think truffle boxes would work..

Welcome to Carrollton Elementary's Counselor Corner.
This website has been created to keep students, teachers, and parents informed about the various programs, test dates, and services offered by the counselor.
Various counseling programs and services offered:
Classroom Guidance – These are counseling sessions given to large groups to enrich students' lives and assist them with social skills in the areas of following rules, responsibility, drug awareness, friendship, gun safety, and violence.
* Food 4 Kids Backpack – Provides snack food for the weekend to kids who, for whatever reason, have little access to food outside of the school environment. The kids receive a bag with two days worth of snack food, juice, and shelf-stable milk. The bag is in a back back. Students take the backpack home on Friday afternoon and return it the following week. It is refilled every Friday. None of the food is unhealthy, and none of it needs to be cooked. It is the North Texas Food Bank and Carrollton Elementary's teamwork together that provide this program for our qualifying students.
* Angel Food Network – This is a program that is available to everyone. Menus are provided each month to every Carrollton Elementary family. The families can choose what to order from the menu and how they wish to pay. Payment is also accessible online. Carrollton Elementary menus are printed from the Carrollton First Baptist Church's website primarily because they are the closest provider that offers the most options for payment.
* Power Club – a social group for Carrollton kids in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades to get together once a week with a different staff member while practicing manners, being polite, and working in groups. These groups are supervised by a different teacher each week: Coach Erickson – Physical Education; Mrs. Payne – Music. The kids had a wonderful time last year and hope they will do so again this year.
* Long-Term Counseling – is offered at the Family Tree Program at (940) 387-7517 or (888) 837-0666 and is free.
* Gifted and Talented – State testing takes place every year for grades K-2. Students may also be recommended for testing by parents and teachers. Each child is served in this way, and the results of all testing will be sent home. Should your child be considered for this program, we will automatically notify you for permission to conduct further testing in this exciting area.

Just Be (#justbein2015)
What does that mean? Well, after allllllll of the crap that went on in the last year, I've decided I need time to just be...happy, sad, excited, hopeful, upset, faithful, forgiving, and so much more.
I want to take time this year to really be in the moment, to be present with the kids, to get excited about my job again, and to find out who I am at 31.
I've already obtained a Master's degree, but I want to go back to school. I always have. However, I can decide if I go for a second master's, my PhD, or (and the one I'm really leaning towards these days) become an interpreter (ASL) so that I can interpret on the side and teach ASL at the high school level.
I taught myself to crochet in December, try new fruits in January, and I'm hoping to continue this journey all year. I want to learn things, try things, make mistakes, but enjoy everything I do.
I want to just be in 2015.
How about you? What do you resolve to do this year?

Supermarket brands lead the way in customer satisfaction
London, U.K., Tuesday, 30 July 2015 – Sainsbury's has become the UK's preferred petrol retailer with 52 per cent of those surveyed choosing it for its exceptional service and experience, according to an independent study by worldwide leader in consumer intelligence solutions, Market Force Information. A survey of 5,900 consumers in June 2015 asked participants to evaluate petrol-retailers on the experience delivered, including price, service, brand image, and value added services such as food and coffee shops.
For the rankings, Market Force Information asked participants to rate their satisfaction with their most recent petrol retailer and their likelihood to refer that petrol retailer to others. The results were averaged to rank each brand on a Composite Loyalty Index. (see chart 1)

Their response was not really informative at all and was worded (not quoting here) "we're not really going to tell you what parts are MIM however, we can assure you that every part is of the highest quality". OK so.....what the heck does that mean?!! I know when they first started producing 1911's there were absolutely no MIM parts. Now I've heard different. The only thing I've read in other forums were maybe the slide stop and ambi safety, quite possibly the grip safety. Does anyone know or know how to find out? I'd like to replace them. I have switched out my slide stop for an ed brown, wanted to anyway b/c of the color combo I wanted for the sig. Well thanks if you can help me out!
I can't help you with identifying which are MIM parts, but speaking for myself, I wouldn't be overly concerned with it. I'm relatively new to pistols, but my experience in the pump world was that there are mim parts & then there are MIM parts. I've seen them that were a piece of junk & I've had experience with those that were just as serviceable & dependable as machined parts.
I've read a lot about them, in regard to pistols, & concensus has been that if used/made by a reputable manufacturer, they are fine. Personally, I'd include Sig in that group, along with Colt, Kimber & Springfield.
Of course, it does seem a shame that the 1911 world has come to that point, but that is the way of the world, sadly. One thing that has struck me is that other pistol platforms are full of MIM parts & no one questions it. It's just in the 1911 platform that I read complaints.
Anyway, I hope you get your answer resolved.
I know that there were many & various reported problems and issues with the MIM process when it was new. However, MIM produced parts today are reportedly very high quality. This is probably why that once the guns you speak of were produced with no MIM parts and now there are. And also why they make the statement "we're not really going to tell you what parts are MIM however, we can assure you that every part is of the highest quality".
They are trying to get around the question by not getting into the whole MIM debate because (in their eyes, at least) it is now a non-issue.
All that said, it is an ongoing debate and many choose to replace all non-bar stock parts. I have no idea how you could find out which parts are and which are not based on their answer - if I were you and this was important to me, I would err on the side of caution and assume that everything except the frame, slide & barrel are MIM (and thus replace everything).
One alternative, assuming you will be doing the replacement yourself, is detail strip it & order the ones you want to replace. Of course, means your pistol will be out of service longer since you'll be waiting for parts or having to reassemble it & a second tear down when you get them.:(
the big myth about metal injection molding is its weak.
this is a total myth. mim can be stronger in critical stress ways than steel. it all depends on the composition and what stresses the mim formula is created to endure.
steel parts can be cheap and easily broken just like mim parts can be.
personally i wouldnt worry about it. just swaping it out to swap is no gauruntee the new part wont break sooner than the original mim.
if a block of steel is turned to molten metal and injected into a mold that is MIM. ruger 1911s are 100% mim as they are investment casted which is a form of metal injecion molding.
I agree with this completely...
My Springer Loaded is chock full of MIM parts & I have over 1500 rounds through it with absolutey no problems whatsoever. I would not hesitate to carry this gun.
Thanks for replying you guys! I was worried that no one had any insight to offer! The question I was surprised that didn't get asked is why I didn't just go with an ed brown or Wesson, Wilson combat etc etc....to answer that question..I wanted my first 1911 to be of production class instead of semi-custom/custom solely b/c if I got a ed brown/Wesson/Wilson then I would probably never shoot another 1911. I'm new in the 1911 field and wanted to get a nice one then go up to an even better one to have something to compare too. I'm not totally against MIM, hell I'm sure almost every other firearm I have is all MIM parts, and the stuff that I want to change out in the future would be common stuff that would be MIM on other 1911's (only from what I've been told) safety, slide stop, firing pin, grip safety. I'm not worried about the grip safety, honestly more concerned with the ambi safety, slide stop, firing pin? (I dunno if firing pin would be a big deal or not, would it?) I've changed out the slide stop first since it was the most simple.
Before you go to a custom, you show read the sticky above about choosing a 1911. Mainly the part about getting a 1911 & shooting the snot out of it to help you decide what features, etc. that you want.
Another idea would be to get a good name brand starter pistol & when you're sure about the changes you want, send it to Wilson, or someone, to have it customized & reliability work done on it.

MIM has improved.
If you do not need to replace a part, then leave it alone. Change the springs, check the disconnector and ejector as time goes on.
Shoot the heck out of it.

The blood-pressure drug Azor contains olmesartan, an ingredient that has been linked to rare but serious cases of sprue-like enteropathy. This disease, which mimics symptoms of Celiac disease, causes chronic diarrhea and severe weight-loss.
Need a Texas Azor Lawyer? Collen A. Clark is a true advocate for his clients and is passionate about helping Texans that have been injured or wronged. If you or a loved one was injured by enteropathy, you should contact our lawyers immediately. You may be entitled to compensation by filing a lawsuit in Texas.
Azor Class Action Lawsuit
Many lawsuits have been filed by individuals who suffered for years before they were correctly diagnosed, resulting in permanent intestinal damage and malnutrition. Plaintiffs are seeking damages for physical and emotional pain and suffering, as well as medical expenses.
If you were injured by Azor, Benicar, or Tribenzor, you may be eligible to join this litigation. However, lawsuits are not centralized in an Azor class action. Instead, they are individual legal claims filed by plaintiffs with severe injuries who have hired their own attorney.
What is the problem?
The Clark Firm, LLP is nationally recognized as a class action law firm, but our defective drug attorneys are not filing a class action for Azor injuries. We are currently investigating legal claims involving serious side effects, such as:
- Sprue-like enteropathy
- Chronic diarrhea
- Weight-loss
- Malnutrition
- Misdiagnosis of Celiac disease
- Kidney disease
- And more
About Class Actions
Class actions are popular when a lot of people have a relatively minor injury — for example, purchasing a product based on false or misleading advertisements about its health benefits. It would be financially impractical for every person to file a lawsuit alone. By joining together, plaintiffs can hire a lawyer to fight for compensation on behalf of the entire group. Typically, the lawyer is paid a percentage of the financial recovery and the plaintiffs share the rest.
Why Our Law Firm is Filing Individual Lawsuits as Opposed to an Azor Class Action
For individual plaintiffs with serious injuries, class actions can have disadvantages. Some plaintiffs must accept high attorneys' fees and a "low-ball settlement." We believe individual lawsuits are the best way to help our clients seek justice from the manufacturers of defective drugs.
Our trial attorneys understand that many of our clients are suffering devastating losses. This is why we always review cases for free. We also work on contingency-fee agreements in most cases, which means you pay nothing unless we achieve a favorable outcome in your case.

The Swimmers (Fak Wai Nai Kai Ther) 2014 DVD VOB
Thailand's GTH studio again aims for the eyeballs of the country's most lucrative movie-going demographic – upper- and middle-class urban teens – with their latest thriller The Swimmers (ฝากไว้..ในกายเธอ, Fak Wai Nai Kai Ther), in which a pregnant girl commits suicide in her school's swimming pool. Her ghost then haunts the guy who knocked her up.
Juthawut Pattarakamphon and Thonphop Lirattanakhachon star as the lads who have been going to the gym and minding what they eat. They are named Perth and Tan, and are rivals on the school's swim team. Supatsara Thanachart is Ice, the troubled young woman who is Tan's girlfriend but attracts the attentions of Perth.
The writer-director is Sophon Sakdaphisit, who has been behind GTH's string of hit thrillers, penning the early 2000s hits Shutter and Alone before making his directorial debut with 2008's Coming Soon. He followed that up in 2011 with Laddaland, a mature psychological drama.
Critical buzz so far places The Swimmer somewhere below Laddaland but perhaps a bit above Coming Soon. Rated 18+

house was great, location is perfect for ski weekend at baker
We held our annual family reunion and the home was absolutely perfect. It was large, comfortable and very clean. No complaints. The major disappointment is that after all payments were made and personal travel plans finalized, only then did we receive the community rules which stated we could not use the swimming pool, tennis courts, etc. Knowing what amenities were in the gated community, and having read a previous renter's review about how enjoyable it was to have access to the pool, my grandchildren were particularly excited about swimming. Needless to say we had to improvise new activities during our stay. We should have been informed prior to our booking or it should be noted in the posting that community amenities are not included in the rental price. Apart from that the home was ideal and picking up keys, accessing the property, etc. went smoothly.
Great views and nice accommodations. Would recommend to anyone with a larger group headed to Baker.
The home was advertised as four bedroom, sleeping 12; however, two bedrooms had to be accessed by going outside (in the rain) to another outside door accessing the ground level basement. The house has been divided into two potential rentals - one per floor. Had we known that there was not an inside access, we would not have chosen this house. While the basement floor had a kitchen, it offered only plastic utensils. There were no amenities in either kitchen such as foil or plastic wrap for food nor storage containers for temporary food storage, left-overs, etc.
The house was clean, well maintained, and the property manager was extremely helpful. However, I would not recommend this property to friends or relatives without a full explanation of the house division.
The pictures have it right, this is a gorgeous accommodation. We fully enjoyed the comfortable setting,
the well-equipped kitchen, and the gorgeous mountains. We only had time to choose one of the nearby
hikes, but it kept us in awe of the beautiful scenery. The kids really enjoyed playing at the playground
and the pool afterwards, and choosing a movie from the collection at the house. Thanks for providing this great setting for making some wonderful family memories.
P.S. Thanks also for having the terrain maps of the surrounding area available. They helped us in our
We had a great time staying here. The atmosphere was warm and spacious. It was extremely clean and had a great kitchen. The community and area around it was full of possibilities. Not only winter sports and hiking, but you could spend allot of time just exploring around the neighborhood, with it's streams, playground and vast natural beauty. We drove in, in the evening as the sun was setting. The mountainous views took our breath away. I will look forward to visiting again. We were there around Mother's Day in 2009.

Canned salmon is a nutritious food packed with omega-3s. Pink salmon has slightly lower levels of omega-3s, but it is also less expensive than the darker and stronger flavored red (Sockeye) salmon. Although many people prefer to remove the bones, they are in fact completely cooked, very soft and safe to eat. They are also a terrific source of calcium so, if you are grinding up the salmon to make patties or a salmon loaf, you may want to try leaving them in the patty.
Things You'll Need
- Can of pink salmon
- Can opener
- Bowl
- Cutting board or plate
- Tweezers (if you don't want to use your fingers)
Open the can of salmon. Using the lid to hold the salmon in the can, drain the liquid over the sink or over a bowl.
Tip the salmon out onto a cutting board or plate. Gently pry apart the center of the fish where the cartilage or spine is located. This will help you to remove it in fewer pieces. Use tweezers or your fingers to gently remove the large and small bones from the fish. You may need to pull apart the salmon to access all the bones. Discard all bones.
Remove the skin if you like. This can be safely chopped up and given to a cat.
Flake remaining salmon. The salmon is now ready to serve or to use as the basis for a recipe.
Tips & Warnings
- When you are removing the bones, try not to squeeze too hard as this will break them and make them harder to remove. The drained liquid from the can of salmon is a tasty treat for cats, especially when you add the chopped skin.
- Although the bones are soft enough to break up and serve to humans, it is safest not to feed them to pets.

The use of charge-coupled devices (CCD's) for pattern recognition applications is discussed. In particular, it is suggested that the new CCD technology may satisfy the large memory, fast processing speed, low cost, small size, and low power requirements which could make practical many pattern processing systems which until now have not been feasible. Specific implementations are suggested along with estimates of processing times.

Now Chrysler must decide if it can take that affordable, aspirational theme one step further, and the Imperial Concept is a bid to measure reaction from the public and the press. Introduced at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, the Imperial Concept rolled onto the stage with actress Eva Longoria riding in the spacious rear seat, adding a bit of star power to a vehicle already infused with presence. As with the 300 sedan, which unabashedly borrows styling cues from Bentley, Chrysler looked to British motorcar heritage as well as its own in creating the Imperial. The result looks much better in person than in pictures, especially when its lustrous Imperial Bronze paint is bathed in warm Southern California sunlight.
Chrysler invited us to drive the Imperial Concept near San Bernardino, but this is not a driving impressions story. concept cars might look terrific, but they drive like homemade kit cars. Chrysler reps asked us to keep speeds at 20 mph or less, and though the Imperial Concept has a stock 5.7-liter Hemi V8 under its long, V-shaped prow, the powertrain was locked in limp-home mode, the transmission running in our choice of first gear or reverse. The suspension rattled over the slightest bumps, and the dashboard was just for show – no operating gauges, no climate control, and only power front windows available to vent the interior, which suffocated under the Imperial's bronze-tinted glass roof in the searing desert sun.
We did learn a few things from the brief drive, however. First, if Chrysler produced the Imperial and sold it for $55,000, it would impart the look and feel of an automobile four times that price. The view over the long hood, the appearance of the retro-styled dash, the sheer size of the thing reminded us of a variety of classic Rolls-Royce models, from the Silver Cloud of the 1950s to today's Phantom. The car has presence, it has heft, and in production trim it would exude luxury – all it needs is a big honkin' hood ornament glittering in the sun. Based on our impressions of the Imperial, if Chrysler is wondering if it can compete in the luxury car class with something bigger and more opulent than the successful 300, the answer is yes.

|Re: Asynchronous indexing consistency
|Wed, 29 May 2013 21:18:34 GMT
Hi, I've been watching this thread, and the situation sounds quite simular to issues I was seeing in pre production load testing a bit over a year ago. I started with Solr and switched to elastic search. ElasticSearch uses a write ahead log on every instance in its cluster to address this issue. I have not heard of or had problems with instances being randomly reprovisioned/lost/trashed/gone AWOL for a time, except where over 60% of the instances have been lost in the same incident. The wal enables acceptance of update operations far sooner than would otherwise be possible, and the lack of binary replication via segments greatly reduces the requirement for hard commits, which in turn greatly reduces the latency from the update triggering event, to the item being available in the index. Because of all that, provided tokenising large content bodies is excluded from the main indexing pathway, I found that the journal to record update events prior to acceptance by elastic search, and I was able to place that acceptance inside a transaction boundary. I am not certain if you can use the same technique in Solr, as IIUC it replicates on segment fragments, after insertion, although I think one of the commercial Lucene companies might have done something along these lines. IIRC there is some form of wal in the last Solr 4 release. One last point, if you are cońsidering using an observation journal, please make it distributed. IMHO the shared central journal in JR2 was alway a bottleneck in any cluster, and although a custom version using timestamps partially eliminated cluster wide synchronisation it never broke free of the resolution of time synchronisation. HTH, if not ignore.
