The original Vosper drawings state that the deck was finished in a special anti-slip finish called 'Cerrux' and according to some well-respected contributors to this site the best way to achieve this finish is to apply a coat of a textured paint on the areas required and then overspray with the desired finish colour.
Others have used a Rustoleum product but that proved difficult to obtain but I found a product from Halfords that looked promising.
As always I did a test piece using this to see what the results would be like and after the finish colour was applied the effect looked very consistent in texture.
At model shows I had previously seen some lifeboat decks that had been 'texture finished' and noted that non-textured areas had been carefully masked off. This seems like a great idea and would serve to emphasise the textured effect and also to distinguish it from a very bad spray job!
I applied a low tack masking tape to the deck areas and features where I wanted a smooth finish and very carefully trimmed the tape to leave a narrow border, I also masked the positions of the metal deck fittings.
Everything else was masked off and the textured spray applied in two very light coats and left to dry.
When the masking was removed it revealed a very neat defined border around the foot rails, cabin sides and deck fittings.
The deck and cabin sides will be over-sprayed with a couple of light coats of the 'BS631 RAF Light Grey' that I have had custom mixed and will be, hopefully, accurate to the prototype. 😁

Because of the curvature of the wheelhouse roof the searchlight, mast, aerial and other fittings need some shaped wedges to sit on so that they sit vertically, this is particularly important for the searchlight as it is designed to rotate.
I cut and shaped some plasticard for these and when I was happy with the angles I superglued them in place on the roof and used a small amount of filler to blend them into the roof profile.
Similar spacers were made for the anchor where it sits on the forward cabin roof as well.
After masking off the surrounding areas I sprayed a coat of Halfords white primer on the roofs and immediately noticed that the paint 'crazed' very badly for some unknown reason.
I had used panel wipe to clean the roof before painting and was spraying over previous coats of the same primer so this was really disappointing to see 😭
I had to leave the paint to harden for a couple of days and set about stripping it back to the base coats as much as possible and then re-masked and sprayed again….only for the same thing to happen again 😡
This was despite pre-warming the can and shaking it thoroughly for the prescribed two minutes.
To cut a long story short I discovered that the new can of white primer that I had recently purchased was faulty and it was spraying considerably more solvent/carrier than pigment and this heavy overload of solvent was the cause of the problem.
Halfords replaced the paint without argument but I had to wait another couple of days before I could remove the paint and start over again for the third time.
Happily the replacement paint was OK, the re-spray was successful and the final gloss coat is to a reasonable finish but the whole process set me back a couple of weekends and was a very frustrating experience 😞
An isolated case I'm sure but after previously stating that Halfords paint was OK, I now reserve my judgement and remain cautious with their paint, and I now do more test sprays just in case…..

The paint on the hull has sufficiently hardened and needs a couple of coats of clear lacquer to protect it but before that happens I need to apply the hull markings.
The waterslide decal set that was supplied with my kit was probably at least 5 years old when I bought the kit on eBay and they had deteriorated so badly that when I put the large 'FIRE' lettering panel in some warm water it fragmented and clearly was not usable.
I called Mike Cummings at vintage Model works and explained my dilemma and he very generously agreed to supply me with a replacement set, and in addition a set of the recently available printed vinyl letters and markings that they now produce.
I decided to use the vinyl set as a quick test piece with the waterslide set revealed that the white ink is not solid and therefore not completely opaque. Furthermore I could not eliminate the 'silvering' effect that happens on waterslide decals despite using various lotions and potions such as Humbrol Decalfix and Microsol/Microset solutions. A test piece with the vinyl lettering sheet was far more successful and when over-lacquered on the test piece the results were very acceptable.
Starting with the large FIRE lettering I cut a paper template the same size as the complete word and fixed this with low tack masking tape on the hull, this paper was then outlined in more masking tape to form a window and the vertical spacing of the letters transferred to this to keep the correct spacing.
Vertical strips of tape were then used as positioning guides for the letters which were individually cut and placed so that I could eliminate all but the solid white letters and give them a hard edge.
Feeling very pleased with myself I removed the masking tape guides and realised to my horror that I had set the baseline of the letters far too close to the waterline and the vertical proportions were completely wrong ….disaster 😱
Feeling ashamed that I could make such a basic error I abandoned the lettering and called Mike at VMW and described my foolish error, no problem he said, I'll send you another vinyl sheet and also some additional drawing that were missing from my kit that would help with detail finishing.
My second attempt with the new vinyl sheet employed the same process but I was careful to measure, mark and check the positions (several times!) before starting.
The roundel and numerals positions at the bow and the stern were carefully measured and marked using the supplied drawings and masking tape 'guides' used to fix their positions before application.
Lastly the roman numerals that span the waterline at the bow and stern were marked, cut and individually applied.
I also took the opportunity to fix in place a couple of modified 6mm portholes to replicate the aft cockpit drain outlets, in the photo is the '94' waterslide decal which I later removed and replaced with vinyl when I could not eliminate the 'silvering' problem.
A big Thank You to Mike Cummings at Vintage Model works for replacing the lettering sheets TWICE! and for the extra drawings, I call that exceptional after sales service !.
Cheers Mike 👍👍 .

The white metal life rings supplied in the fittings kit not only look flat and uninteresting but more than that they weigh in at 57 grams individually and along with the rest of the metal fittings above deck will raise the centre of gravity quite a lot and may affect the roll of the hull on turns. Well that's my theory anyway and I'm using it to justify replacing them with something lighter and more pleasing to the eye.
I found some plastic ones on eBay that were roughly the same diameter for a couple of pounds each that looked ideal.
The rope detail needed to be added to them to replicate the originals and this was done with some nylon cord that I superglued into slots filed into the circumference. I then wound seven turns to form the quadrants, securing each turn with a spot of glue and ensuring that the ends all arrived on what will be the underside of the rings.
They were then sprayed with a couple of coats of white acrylic and the red bands brush painted.
The weight of the new life ring is 19 grams, exactly one third of the metal one and it looks, to my eye, a million times better 😁
To locate them on the engine room roof I cut some 3mm plasticard wedges and superglued them in place, the actual fixing will be two small screws from the underside of the roof.
The white metal ones will make ideal ballast weights if I need to make any adjustments 😉

I have used a vinyl tape made by Trimline rather than trying to paint one. Starting at the stern the tape conceals the join between the red oxide anti fouling and the black gloss sides.
This is then continued to the bow but it has to cross the spray rail and this part gave me the most trouble. I ended up masking and painting the line at this point as I could not get the tape to conform to the multiple angles involved 😠 Visually it looks a bit odd and It's far from perfect but I can't afford to waste too much on it. Perhaps after some flatting down it will look better.
If anyone has a quick, simple and accurate method of doing this I'd love to know the secret 😞

The reflector that I originally used for testing came from Maplins and was not a particularly good fit and it also produced a broad diffused light, but I found another lens from the same supplier that could be adapted to fit and would produce a much narrower 10° beam. The lens body was too long to fit into the searchlight body so I 'ground down' the lens on some abrasive to a size that would fit using progressively finer grades of wet & dry paper.
The lens was then polished with some cutting/polishing compound to restore the optical clarity.🤓
The original and modified lenses are shown in the 'photos.
The lens now fits perfectly into the searchlight body and produces a much narrower and focussed beam of light.
I cut and shaped a piece of 1mm clear perspex to form a protective cover over the lens to hold it in the searchlight body and make it waterproof.
The searchlight on the real boat has a 'tri-form' protective cage with a centre boss (my description, there's probably a proper name for it ), this part is not supplied in the white metal kit so I constructed one from some 22mm copper plumbing pipe, some brass pins and a hand turned and drilled brass rod for the centre boss.
These parts were 'soft soldered' together as silver soldering would be quite difficult because of the different heat gradients.
Before final assembly I will paint the parts gloss grey and secure the optical and protective lens with some canopy glue which will form a flexible seal and won't 'fog' the lens as superglue would, and then epoxy the 'tri-form' cage to the front.
Hopefully the end result will be well worth the effort and do justice to my brother's lathe skills!😎

Having decided to make the searchlight a working feature I needed to make a sturdier base for it as the supplied white metal item is far too weak and not up to the job.
This is another job for the man with the lathe......😜
I want the new piece to replicate the original as much as possible so I took measurements of the white metal part and produced a dimensional drawing which I e-mailed to my brother.
A short while later the item arrived in the post with another as a spare in case I messed up the first! 😓
I annealed some 'D' profile brass rod and formed it to the dimensions of the original cradle and set this into a slot filed into the top of the turned searchlight base.
Before silver soldering the cradle into place I spun the part in a drill and rounded off the base with some abrasive to a profile more like the original. I also filed flats at the cradle ends and drilled them, and the searchlight body, to accept some 2mm brass screws to join the two parts together.
The base has a 2mm diameter hole bored through to accept the drive shaft from the servo and a very small grub screw secures the base onto this shaft.
The 3 watt LED is already epoxy into the searchlight body but I will replace the wire with something thinner and bring it out through the back in some heat shrink tubing.
I'm hoping that this will be flexible enough to allow free rotation of the searchlight.😊

The fire monitors are supplied in three pieces that need to be assembled, there is the pedestal, the main body & handles and the discharge nozzle (my descriptions, they may have a proper technical term!) 🤔
Before assembly all the parts were filed smooth, and cleaned with my 'suede shoe brush' to remove flash and blemishes and to give a key for subsequent paint.
I felt that just glueing the main body and discharge nozzle together would not be sufficiently strong so I bored out the centre of each and inserted a 4mm threaded stud to pull them together, some threadlock on the stud and then some filler at the join produced a good result. The hole at the end of the discharge nozzle also looks more authentic.
The pedestal was also bored out at both ends, the lower end for a 3mm stud and for a 2mm threaded stud at the upper end.
The arms need to be carefully bent to the correct angle, you only really get one attempt at this as the white metal will not stand repeated bending and will probably fracture quite easily.
I also added a small 'lever arm' feature to the bottom of the pedestal that appears in some photographs of the real item, this was finished with a hand turned brass knob.
The finished parts were sprayed with one coat of grey etch primer, a coat of white primer and finally two coats of Halfords 'Toolbox Red' acrylic gloss.
I assembled the two pieces when the paint had hardened and put a dab of red paint on the top fixing nut. The handle ends will also be detailed with some black paint or perhaps some black heat shrink.

In between coats of black paint there's time to prepare more of the white metal deck fittings.
They all require a bit of a clean up to remove casting lines and flash, and this is easy to do with an assortment of small files, blades and a small suede shoe brush with brass wire 'bristles'.
After a quick clean up with panel wipe I fixed them all to a piece of card with small strips of double sided foam tape to stop them getting blown around by the pressure of the spay can and gave them a couple of light coats of etch primer.
To assemble the anchor I used some 2mm brass rod with some brass ends made from some larger diameter brass rod, drilled and filed to a pleasing profile, a bit of plasticard was added to neaten the pivot point and the assembly was also given a coat of etch primer.
The cooling water outlet tube and flange and the dummy exhaust ports (adapted portholes) were primed also.
They'll get a coat of black gloss before they are fixed to the stern.
I'll tackle the fire monitors next…

Now that the red oxide has dried and hardened it's time to mask it off in preparation of spraying the upper hull black.
First I had to very carefully flat back the ridge in the red oxide paint left by the edge of the masking tape that might prevent the new masking tape laying flat.
I chose two types of Tamiya tape, the first is the very thin and flexible type to get the sharp edge and this was then overlaid with the wider flexible variety.
Once this initial masking edge was established all round the hull and at deck level I could mask up the rest fully.
As an experiment and to prevent any possible bleed through of solvents through regular newspaper onto my lovely red oxide anti-fouling I chose to mask with some 'Bacofoil' which actually works very well for this purpose as it is quite strong and easily folded and formed to the hull shape.
I didn't use too much of this from the roll, and my wife never noticed it's absence from the kitchen whilst I was nicking it …result !
The hull was thoroughly wiped over with a tack cloth and panel wipe to remove any traces of contaminants that could spoil the paint finish and then it went into the booth.
The pre-warmed paint went on very easily but at one point I noticed a bit of blooming on the surface in a few places but much to my relief this soon disappeared. Even after only one coat the finish looked very smooth and glossy.
I left this first coat for a day or two to fully harden before wet flatting it down with an 800 grade abrasive.
The second and third coats were applied in the same way, each left to harden for a day or more before flatting with a yet finer grades wet & dry paper.
With the final coat on the finish greatly exceeded my expectations 😎
The masking tape and foil was very carefully removed to reveal a very sharp line where black meets red although this will be covered with the white 'Trimline' tape I bought from SHG Model Supplies at the Bristol model show in the summer.
After a further couple of days drying and hardening I gave the black paint a bit of a polish with some Halfords cutting/polishing compound.
I'm extremely pleased with this finish and at the same time frightened to death that I'll ruin it in some way with a clumsy knock or in the lettering and lacquering stages 😓 …

For those New Orleanians whove been fighting for a citywide curbside recycling program, one small victory has been gained. The City of New Orleans Department of Sanitation has finally decided to take the matter a little more seriously and begin conducting a survey to determine interest in participating in a potential curbside recycling program. The survey has been available online and has now also appeared as an insert with the most recent billing statements sent out from the sewage and water board. The surveys may be returned with the sewage and water board payment or can be completed online at the citys Web page.

Perhaps the better question is what the fans are going to do tomorrow.
This is a couple of days late, but it was lost in all the news surrounding the Hornets Game 1 victory. Deservedly so, because the game is played on the court and all credit and blame for its outcome falls on the players and coaches participating. But say the game was played in the seats and teams judged solely on their fans, can you guess where the New Orleans Hornets would be?
Dead last.
Here are the attendance numbers of all eight first-round openers (UPDATE: Because I wasn't familiar with the NBA's nonsensical seeding system, I had put down the numbers for Utah's arena when the series is being played in Houston. Apologies):

Although his legislation is still in the developmental phase, Baton Rouge Rep. Erich E. Ponti is working on a policy change that would exclude certain petrochemical workers from mandatory employment-related drug tests. House Bill 514 aims to remove workers in the construction, maintenance or manufacturing of any refining or petrochemical facility from required drug tests. Ponti, a Republican, says knee-jerk reaction to his bill, which consists of only half a page, might be adverse because its easily misunderstood. Thats among the many reasons the bill is being repackaged and investigated further by a group of interested parties. In theory, this would allow employers to place these people in a database so they can easily be tracked from one plant to another, Ponti says. The legislation could allow workers to stay on the job and be monitored more closely. While it sounds like a radical idea, its nothing new. Louisiana already has a similar statute on the books for employees of oil and gas exploration, drilling and production companies. Such employees are expressly excluded from mandatory testing for the presence of marijuana, opioids, cocaine, amphetamines and phencyclidine, according to the law. A comparable provision exists in Wisconsin, where commercial pilots are allowed to fly up to four sightseeing flights a year for charity without being tested for drugs. Texas likewise has testing exclusions for certain industries. The bill is on the shelf for now while lawmakers and special interests kick the idea around. It has been assigned to the House Labor and Industrial Relations Committee, but no hearing date has been set.

The Louisiana Board of Ethics has dropped a $1,000 late free against state Supreme Court Associate Justice Jeff Victory for a tardy campaign finance disclosure report. Two surgeries earlier this year rendered the 62-year-old justice medically unable to file a supplemental report to his 2004 re-election campaign, the panel stated in an April 17 letter sent last week to Victory campaign treasurer Robert G. Pugh Jr., a Shreveport lawyer. The board granted Pughs request for a waiver at the regular public meeting on April 10 in Baton Rouge. The Justice did not appear, says Richard Sherburne, the newly appointed administrator of the ethics board. The boards 11-member Supervisory Committee for Campaign Finance includes four lawyers one more than required by a new state law. They are board chair Henry C. Hank Perret of Lafayette; vice chair John W. Greene of Covington, a retired judge; Clayton Davis of Lake Charles; and Michael T. Johnson of Pineville. Because of a family emergency, Johnson was absent from the meeting at which Victorys appeal was discussed, Sherburne said.

The chairman of the Legislative Black Caucus wants the House and Senate judiciary committees to study potential racial disparities in sentencing guidelines. More specifically, Rep. Juan LaFonta, D-New Orleans, wants to know if theres a difference in the length and harshness of sentences imposed by judges for similar crimes committed by Caucasians and African Americans. LaFonta argues that the Louisiana Supreme Court has not effectively addressed, nor made any effective progress, to change the unequal justice manifested upon the poor and economically disadvantaged, particularly minorities. Problems may exist on the local prosecutorial level as well, according to the resolution. It states: The prosecution of crimes in district court is totally at the discretion of a district attorney who may have more bias against some accused defendants than other accused defendants, and it is totally within his prerogative whom he prosecutes and for what crime he accuses the person of committing, except when there is an indictment by the grand jury. If LaFontas House Concurrent Study Resolution 1 gains favor with lawmakers, the joint judiciary committee would have to report its findings to the Legislature prior to Feb. 28, 2009 just in time for next years regular session.

During budget debates in recent years, average citizens, editorial writers and good government groups have cringed at the notion of public funding via earmarks for pet projects and programs such as hot air balloon races and high school alumni groups. Why? Because its your money thats supporting such questionable activities and groups. Earmarks are traditionally included in the state operating budget without explanations as to how the tax dollars will be spent or who will benefit. Many earmarks support nonprofit organizations, some of which receive virtually all of their revenue from state government grants sponsored by individual legislators. The question isnt whether or not these organizations do some good in our state, its how efficient is the job they are doing, says state Treasurer John Kennedy. If the state is going to continue to give money to these nonprofit organizations, at the very least, taxpayers statewide deserve full disclosure about these projects. State Sen. Dan Blade Morrish, a Jennings Republican, has filed Senate Bill 106 to force lawmakers to reveal every detail about their earmarks. Each funding request would have to include budget information, project goals, objectives and information about possible connections to elected officials. Kennedy is among the bills supporters and says he plans to testify for it when the Senate Finance Committee takes up the measure.

State Sen. Cheryl Gray met with Uptown constituents last week to discuss proposed legislation that would put their neighborhoods on one of the fastest growing trends in government nationwide special taxing districts. Neighborhoods love them, says Jim Brandt, president of the nonpartisan Public Affairs Research Council (PAR). There are three types security districts, in which neighborhood residents tax themselves for extra police protection; improvement districts, in which residents pay additional fees for security, beautification, and other purposes; and development districts, which have no taxing authority but can enter into contracts and accept contributions. Orleans Parish currently has 23 special neighborhood taxing districts. Eleven are security districts, nine are improvement districts, and three are development districts, according to Gray legislative aide Cheryl Napoli. Gray is asking the Legislature to authorize the creation of four more special districts all in her Senate district. Critics say special taxing districts contribute to the Balkanization of city services, raise questions about the deployment of off-duty cops, and widen gaps between haves and have-nots. Grays bills need both legislative passage and citywide voter approval on Oct. 4.

so i've looked at this rootR.cpk from demo, and there should be 2109 files in there, at least from demo. i have made the proper folders for the files to extract, if someone is interested (you can view the proper toc with cpk_view.exe on offset 2064)...
the only way to extract these new cpks seems some generic extractor based on offsets or manual extraction, but with these lot files no fun. maybe someone who is able to update this quickbms script?
i've noticed quickbms can extract about 696 files and other cpk tools only 669, whereas all these seem to be broken and not correct, but i am not sure.
but i have repacked the map cpk and it worked fine on demo, so repacking with the free tool should work.
best and easiest would be some leak...and then there is still the jap eboot. in the end it will be a tb only

I've been able to edit and translate some things in the eboot, from what i can see, most menu related stuff is in the eboot, such as item names/descriptions and skills.
Also, rergarding the .cpk, from what i can see, the quickbms script i have extracts everything properly, all of the folders are correct and the total file number is 2111, i just haven't been able to make a .cpk that this game can read.
03-19-2012 #25shinintendo Guest
I think to actually make a progress here you should pm Tidusnake666 and he will arrange short of a meeting place like mirc/messenger type of communication. everyone working alone or multi-teams leads to a wasted effort for all.
you can find a workaround much faster this way, just saying.
03-19-2012 #26Abcool Guest
Dimkaua, I know nothing about writing codes or indepth hacking, but since i am a Wii owner an i be on the Project M boards a lot i can answer this question. The Wii runs a progress called Riivolution in which you can replace in game sounds, textures, fix glitches just about anything with no limited number of spaces for coding.
It's just not completely RAM depended and redirecting everything to the SD card. This is how that Tales team was able to even consider translating the entire game without need of burning the data to a new disc. I saw they was using the same type of app for the ps3 called Revolution. Since they were both Translating the Wii and PS3 versions of the game at the same time before they dropped the project.
In other words the data it self can be bigger than the full version of the game, because it doesn't need the memory from the disc to be able to access the coding since it is being redirected to some other source with unlimited space to write as much coding as possible or big enough to translate the whole game.
Idk, though all of this may make no sense since i only know about Brawl hacking and translation hacking might be completely different. So if i am completely wrong just ignore this post.
03-19-2012 #27arktos Guest
AndreTrek, would you mind to share that script? i have searched the whole day yesterday, but not found any good
03-19-2012 #28Tidusnake666 Guest
I've managed to port Wii translation to PS3, but somewhere I made a mistake and a game refuses to run.
I'm forced to drop this project, I have literally no time for it, have a lot of pressure on the work.
I'll pass everything I know/have made to dimkaua.
AndreTrek, if you've managed to port this translation by yourself and have it running - you can also share your work.
03-19-2012 #29arktos Guest
i think, if the repacked cpk does not work, then there must be hardcoded offsets in elf file which needs to be corrected.
edit my mistake. it seems the demo is not complete with all files in the cpk file, thus the script not working. i should be quiet and let you guys work...
about repacking, do you select 64 data alignment and no compression?
03-19-2012 #30Tidusnake666 Guest
Okay, I've found an error myself, pretty much a lot of my work is useless now.
I have to share some info. Below are 2 files made as a diff of Wii translation (one of them is a string diff - usefull for manual translations, other - binary diff, usefull for automatic translations.)
We have to write a program to parse binary diff on the eboot and then correct some things manually. It shouldn't be much of a problem to someone averagely-knowing C/Pascal/Java, but as I sai, I have no time.
I have asked the original author of translation for the permission, he isn't against using his work, so these 2 files infiringe no copyrights.

Hi there,
I am shopping around for filigree cupcake wrappers for my wedding cupcake tower. I need about 200 of them and I am looking into paying 50 to 75 cents per wrap. Any suggestions?
Only way I see you can get them that cheap is to make them yourself.
Good Luck
for a cheap cupcake wrapper I use a small doillie. cut the doillie to the centre.. cut out the small circle, measure your cupcake using the cut doillie, and tape in place to fit your cupcake.. I hope I did not confuse you... If search for cupcake wrapper made from a doillie, you should be able to find it here on CC.. hope this helps...
Have you checked www.PaperOrchid.com? They have a sale right now for $10 off your purchase of $100 or more.
Good luck!
You can get white doilies at the Dollar tree. There's a pattern in the galleries to make your own wrappers, or you can just cut one and figure out the size that way. Then use double sticky tape to stick them together. It sounds like it's really time-consuming but it's actually not that bad.
if you want to go the diy route try these
unfortunatly these things are just expensive to buy. i think if you have things like the cricut machine you could make them fancier, like with filigree, im sure that has been discussed on here before.... maybe!
Are the doilies made of plastic?

Post subject: Atheist
For the sake of determining the viability of the Biblical God, I would like to introduce the word eternal. The Websters American College Dictionary defines eternal [without beginning or end; lasting forever; always existing; perpetual; ceaseless]. If, as scientists say, we exist in the space/time dimension, then eternal objects extend beyond space and time and are infinite in existence.
The Bible declares God to be eternal!
· Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
· John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
· Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
· Malachi 3:6 For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Practical understanding recognizes that tangible objects do not materialize from nothingness. By tangible, I mean objects recognizable with our five physical senses. Lets think together, all things that are physically comprehended have an origin (a beginning), nothing that is physically observed willed itself into existence. Clearly, the source of the physical realm must be eternal.
The Bible outlines an intelligent eternal someone (God) exists free from the bonds of space and time and is responsible for the existence of this physical realm.
I propose that an eternal some-one/thing, free from the confines of space and time, is essential in any explanation of the existence of this physical reality.
What do you say the eternal-something is?
If the eternal is a thing, then it cannot be intelligent and the events, which constitute its existence, must be random.
So an eternal thing can only be eternal in existence. It occupies a given amount of space over an infinite time. If time and the material universe have always been, then given infinite opportunity, one could imagine the random formation of our current existence. But if you look further is it possible?
What do we observe?
Certainly the Universe is in an ongoing state of change.
Uniqueness (one-time events) occurs.
Is it possible for a one time event to occur in a random environment of infinite opportunity?
Consider a deck of cards, a card (10 of Spades) is drawn from the deck and replaced. The drawing of the 10 of spades is a random one-time event in a finite environment (the deck). If cards were drawn and replaced back into the deck an infinite number of times, is it possible that the 10 of spades would never be drawn again? Of course not, it would be drawn an infinite number of times. In conclusion, one-time events cannot exist in a random environment of infinite opportunity. Clearly, we witness uniqueness (one time events), thus the physical universe cannot be eternal.
Thing About It!
Why is there Something instead of Nothing?
If there was only Nothing, then Something could never be! While Something may produce Nothing, Nothing cannot produce Something. So Something must have always been!
If Something has always been, then Something is eternal. Is the eternal, Something or Someone?
How can Something be eternal?

Practical atheism can take various forms:
1) Absence of religious motivationbelief in gods does not motivate moral action, religious action, or any other form of action;
2) Active exclusion of the problem of gods and religion from intellectual pursuit and practical action;
3) Indifferencethe absence of any interest in the problems of gods and religion; or
4) Ignorancelacking any idea of gods.
To me, atheists who have not taken time to truly study and grasp their reasoning for their belief are no different than people who become a vegetarian "just to take a stand." I think that any belief or any lifestyle should be truly studied before full-on pursuit--Christianity included. I feel that most people who call themselves atheists might fall into category 3, Indifference.
When there comes a time to throw blame around for a bad or negative life experience, these folks wouldn't hesitate to blame a God in whom they do not believe. When there is a time of success in life, these folks will pat themselves on the back for their efforts--not attributing this success to anything besides themselves in the grand scheme of their existence.
If there is no god of any kind, then there is no reason to understand ourselves or our purpose. A life without purpose is as physcially meaningful as dirt or a rock. A life without purpose is as emotionally meaningful as the indifference one human feels when someone of a different race, color, creed etc. is killed in a car-bombing incident 3000 miles away.
If all we are is "dust in the wind," why do some have the need to get ahead financially, or why do some feel the need to help others less fortunate? If you are just inhaling oxygen for the purpose of breathing, and not pursuing a greater goal than what that oxygen has allowed us to pursue, what are we really doing here? Following atheist logic--Mankind is no more superior or entitled than a dried up starfish on a beach, dead leaves in the fall, or displaced gravel on a country road. Life, without purpose, is meaningless.
Unless an atheist is a category 4, Ignorant, there is usually some socialization that has occurred in his or her formative years bringing about a disdain for a god of some kind. It's all too likely that a church provided this soul with a bad experience, an uncomfortably restricted viewpoint, or some negative action that this soul hasn't forgotten about.
I'm guessing that 40%-50% of atheists take a stand as an atheist in an attempt to coerce a spiritual experience that will help them believe in something. They've simply lost their faith in a feeling similar to losing a parent at a young age, or some other lingering abandonment they have suffered. Deeply they want to "experience" God, their Creator. They seek physical proof beyond a shadow of a doubt, like a jury ready to find a guilty murderer "not guilty" because they simply lack physical evidence. Inside, they know the murderer committed the crime, but due to a lack of evidence, they just won't convict.
Why should I pray for an atheist? Why do they deserve a spiritual physical experience to obtain the proof they need? Simple history should suffice for their proof. A simple human was murdered. That human then was alive again. None of my deceased grandparents have come back to spend Christmas with me? This simple human who was murdered in public for his belief, then became alive again is all the proof I need. I believe, if this human was dead then alive again, that whatever this man says is truth. Need more evidence?
I'll pray for you...
Dear Lord, I pray for your unexplainable perfect will to occur in every human's life on this earth. I pray that one day, when we least expect it, those who are lacking in faith will have that faith restoring experience they are seeking. In a world of spiritual distraction and daily battles of good and evil, I pray for those souls whom you created that have forgotten that you are there in that room with them. You are on that walk to their car with them. You are there everywhere all the time. If I can help in this spiritual battle, I pray that you will make me a fighter willing to die for you, Lord.
In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

You bring up some very good points.
Like you I also believe indifference is the predominant attitude most atheists hold toward God. Horatius Bonar is one of my favorite old authors and he said, If God is worth anything then He is worth everything. The sad thing is indifference also exists in the church today.
Unlike many today, I do not believe hate is the opposite of love, but rather indifference. I would always prefer being told-off to being ignored. To often we ignore God.
Your right it is comical when atheist blame a god that they dont even believe exists. Also, claiming to have a purpose without a creator is equally difficult to reconcile. Atheist and agnostics that blame bad Church experiences for their lack of faith is equally difficult to swallow, because faith should never be placed in the church, but rather God.
Your paragraph referring to those that take a stand in order to coerce a spiritual experience is most interesting to me. I came to a spiritual crossroad during a family crisis. I faced God and confronted Him with all my doubts. It was at that moment I quit propping up God and genuinely faced Him. It was at that moment that He began revealing His truth to me.
Many today deny God because they don't want to be held accountable. If we are created then we must attempt to understand the intentions of our Creator. If there is no God then I am not liable to anyone. Under those circumstances I like you lose direction.
Expecting physical proof of an eternal being is irrational. Only temporal things can be physically discerned. Eternal (Infinite) things must be comprehended by faith.
Finally, we do need to pray for one another. We also need to anxiously anticipate opportunities to discuss the reasons for our faith with unbelievers.

In this life, I often wonder if I am missing something elementary that everyone else understands, or I have simply overlooked. As in most of my writings, I have had very little feedback as to their veracity and relevance. Most of my writings are original and seldom reference other texts than the Bible. When a personal thought, or insight, is confirmed by an outside source, it is affirming to me.
What follows is a writing that perhaps only I was unaware of by Thomas Aquinas. Thomas Aquinas wrote about Five Ways, or Five Proofs, regarding the existence of God. He summarized them in his book, Summa Theologica.
What follows is copied from Wikipedia.
The Argument of the Unmoved Mover:
"The first and more manifest way is the argument from motion. It is certain, and evident to our senses, that in the world some things are in motion. Now whatever is in motion is put in motion by another, for nothing can be in motion except it is in potentiality to that towards which it is in motion; whereas a thing moves inasmuch as it is in act. For motion is nothing else than the reduction of something from potentiality to actuality. But nothing can be reduced from potentiality to actuality, except by something in a state of actuality. Thus that which is actually hot, as fire, makes wood, which is potentially hot, to be actually hot, and thereby moves and changes it. Now it is not possible that the same thing should be at once in actuality and potentiality in the same respect, but only in different respects. For what is actually hot cannot simultaneously be potentially hot; but it is simultaneously potentially cold. It is therefore impossible that in the same respect and in the same way a thing should be both mover and moved, i.e. that it should move itself. Therefore, whatever is in motion must be put in motion by another. If that by which it is put in motion be itself put in motion, then this also must needs be put in motion by another, and that by another again. But this cannot go on to infinity, because then there would be no first mover, and, consequently, no other mover; seeing that subsequent movers move only inasmuch as they are put in motion by the first mover; as the staff moves only because it is put in motion by the hand. Therefore it is necessary to arrive at a first mover, put in motion by no other; and this everyone understands to be God."
The Argument of the First Cause:
"The second way is from the nature of the efficient cause. In the world of sense we find there is an order of efficient causes. There is no case known (neither is it, indeed, possible) in which a thing is found to be the efficient cause of itself; for so it would be prior to itself, which is impossible. Now in efficient causes it is not possible to go on to infinity, because in all efficient causes following in order, the first is the cause of the intermediate cause, and the intermediate is the cause of the ultimate cause, whether the intermediate cause be several, or only one. Now to take away the cause is to take away the effect. Therefore, if there be no first cause among efficient causes, there will be no ultimate, nor any intermediate cause. But if in efficient causes it is possible to go on to infinity, there will be no first efficient cause, neither will there be an ultimate effect, nor any intermediate efficient causes; all of which is plainly false. Therefore it is necessary to admit a first efficient cause, to which everyone gives the name of God."
The Argument from Contingency:
"The third way is taken from possibility and necessity, and runs thus. We find in nature things that are possible to be and not to be, since they are found to be generated, and to corrupt, and consequently, they are possible to be and not to be. But it is impossible for these always to exist, for that which is possible not to be at some time is not. Therefore, if everything is possible not to be, then at one time there could have been nothing in existence. Now if this were true, even now there would be nothing in existence, because that which does not exist only begins to exist by something already existing. Therefore, if at one time nothing was in existence, it would have been impossible for anything to have begun to exist; and thus even now nothing would be in existence which is absurd. Therefore, not all beings are merely possible, but there must exist something the existence of which is necessary. But every necessary thing either has its necessity caused by another, or not. Now it is impossible to go on to infinity in necessary things which have their necessity caused by another, as has been already proved in regard to efficient causes. Therefore we cannot but postulate the existence of some being having of itself its own necessity, and not receiving it from another, but rather causing in others their necessity. This all men speak of as God."
The Argument from Degree:
"The fourth way is taken from the gradation to be found in things. Among beings there are some more and some less good, true, noble and the like. But 'more' and 'less' are predicated of different things, according as they resemble in their different ways something which is the maximum, as a thing is said to be hotter according as it more nearly resembles that which is hottest; so that there is something which is truest, something best, something noblest and, consequently, something which is uttermost being; for those things that are greatest in truth are greatest in being, as it is written in Metaph. ii. Now the maximum in any genus is the cause of all in that genus; as fire, which is the maximum heat, is the cause of all hot things. Therefore there must also be something which is to all beings the cause of their being, goodness, and every other perfection; and this we call God."
The Teleological Argument:
"The fifth way is taken from the governance of the world. We see that things which lack intelligence, such as natural bodies, act for an end, and this is evident from their acting always, or nearly always, in the same way, so as to obtain the best result. Hence it is plain that not fortuitously, but designedly, do they achieve their end. Now whatever lacks intelligence cannot move towards an end, unless it be directed by some being endowed with knowledge and intelligence; as the arrow is shot to its mark by the archer. Therefore some intelligent being exists by whom all natural things are directed to their end; and this being we call God."

Agency: (Beta)
Client: Iceland(Beta) is launching its first campaign for Iceland with a Moulin Rouge inspired extravaganza, featuring real Iceland mums, can-canning alongside Jason Donovan, to celebrate the Christmas season. (Beta)'s brief was to create high impact advertising that would raise consideration of Iceland amongst its existing customer base, to counter the weight of competitor activity in the lead up to Christmas. Having identified the untapped potential of the "That's why mums go to Iceland" line and a need to get real mums back into the heart of the campaign, (Beta) re-cast some of the Iceland customers who had been auditioned earlier this year, following Iceland's strategic decision to adopt a customer as the Face of Iceland. The ads centre on an elaborate Christmas party - surrounded by family and friends as the Mums dance their way through Iceland's new and classic seasonal product ranges. Jason Donovan performs his role of ringmaster/compere with gusto, enthusiastically embracing high heels and suspenders for the show's grand climax.The TV will be supported by PR and in-store activity. Customers will get to find out more about the mums featured in the ad via the Iceland Christmas magazine, News of World X Factor sponsorship ads, Iceland's own website and their fast-growing Facebook community.

Compliment-friendly pants!
I recently took these pants on a ski trip to Colorado and LOVED them! Very warm, ultra comfy, and I got lots of compliments! Pants looked more red online, but they're more of a salmon/coral on the bottom - cuter than the picture. Held up great on the slopes. Will be wearing these for a long time!
- How accurate was the sizing? Perfect, almost loose
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very high quality!
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes!

Feature Request - Display Star Rating in Form ResultsAsked by rodrigooliveirah on August 13, 2014 at 03:31 PM
Oi, quero abrir de novo essa discussão.
Pretendo que o resultado desse formulário seja aparente instantaneamente, sem ir para outra página.
Quando você visita uma página do facebook aparece a opção para você votar de 1 a 5 estrelas naquela página. Gostaria que ficassem exatamente daquela forma.
Na hora que eu estou criando o formulário, aparece para mim como eu gostaria que ficasse (veja tela imagem).Porém ao publicar, fica diferente, aparecendo números e depois que votar vai para outra página para mostrar o resultado em gráficos. Me ajude =) Veja a outra imagem.
So if I am understanding you correctly you are saying that the Star Rating Field is changing to a Numbered Rating Field somehow?
I checked your form here http://www.jotformz.com/form/42244177467661 but I am only seeing the Star Rating Field displayed as you mentioned.
Can you please explain more about where and how it turned into a Number Rating Field so that we can investigate this problem more?
Então. Na hora que eu estou editando a forma, ela está correta. Dai quando eu incorporo no site, ela transforma em numero, como vê.
So. By the time I am editing the form, it is correct. Dai when I enter the site, it turns into number, as you see.
Agora está correto. Mas o resultado está sendo enviado e não mostra na hora. Aparece a mensagem de agradecimento e não mostra a quantidade de votos. Entende?
Veja ~~> http://www.comprandoemorando.com/2014/08/cyrela-construtora-bom-ou-mau-negocio.html
Now is correct. But the result is being sent and shows no time. A thank you message does not show the amount of votes and appears. You see?
See ~~> http://www.comprandoemorando.com/2014/08/cyrela-builder-good-or-bad-negocio.html
Thank you for clarifying this more and I see what you mean now. As far as I know that is actually how the star rating comes through on the email notification to display this at a glance.
I believe this was done so that you can see how many stars were given out of how many were available instead of trying to count them visually.
Would you like to request that as a feature improvement then?
So, I would like to stay visible at the time, for all to see, not only for me in my email. Is it possible?
Look at another site, an example - POLL left ~~> http://www.midianews.com.br/
Quickly, enter and vote and see what happens.
JotForm Support
We do not have a direct feature that would accomplish the same, so a workaround would be to create a Visual Report: https://www.jotform.com/help/187-How-to-create-a-Visual-Report-with-your-Form-Submissions
... then make the report URL as your form thank you URL: https://www.jotform.com/help/38-Redirecting-Users-to-a-Different-Page
For example: http://form.jotformpro.com/form/42247377486970?
Thank you!
I thank all of you effort. They are super attentive.
I saw. It was good.
I guess what I want is beyond JotForm functions, which are actually forms. And it's a little different what I want for the moment. I would like to poll, not form. Type this here ~~> http://www.criarenquete.com.br/crie-your-enquete/passo-1
Thank you very much. You saved my life on my site. Not sure what it would be without the forms =)
You are most welcome.
Also, I've gone ahead and opened up a feature request for this on your behalf anyway. Our developers will look into it more for consideration and if it is added we'll update you here.
Additionally, since you mentioned polls I would like to also point out that we have a polling app called "JotPoll" which you might also find of use or interest for the time being.

Susan January 18 to 24
Weekly Log – Jan 18 to 24
Monday, Jan 18
AM: Opted out of practice. Very sore from yesterday's 9 hour swim. I slept most of the night which is fantastic as I usually don't sleep after big swims. I did have bad dreams though.
I took magsmart, dream release, Tylenol, my herbal tea and vitamineral earth before going to bed.
PM: I was very hungry all day.
Managed a solid 1 hour spin. My legs were quite sore but I kept at it.
2.5 kilometer swim. Lots of 50s and kick. There was also a 4 x 75 fly @ 2:00. My goal was no one arms. I was quite pleased I was able to do it.
45 minutes of weights. Lightened the load from the previous week.
Tuesday, Jan 19
PM: Coached Special O. They always motivate me. Cindy, one of the swimmers works so hard. She is determined to swim 200 fly.
Wednesday, Jan 20
AM: Tyee Masters workout. Very crowded lanes. Navy Masters is swimming with us for a bit as their pool gets sorted out. They jumped in and took over the lanes leaving all of the Tyee swimmers at the end of the lanes. Didn't talk to any of us. I felt like an outsider.
Coach modified the workout to try to accommodate us all. Ended up doing 8 minutes of sprints, 8 minutes continuous and 8 minutes on land. By the end I had swum 1.5km. It was one of those workouts where sleep may have been the better option. Frustrating.
PM: Nose was acting up again. It wouldn't stop running all day. I went home hoping to get better.
Thursday, Jan 21
PM: I did not go to work today. Feeling run down.
Did the Vic Masters workout as I was already at the pool for Special O and thought it might feel good to get in the water. Swam about 2km. Fly sprits to help prep for the meet on the weekend. I need to get my legs and hips up more. I have developed a bit of a submarine style of swimming hoping that if I am dead tired during the 200 I can still make it through. It may not have been the wisest of choices.
Friday, Jan 22
AM: Sick. Stayed home from work. Went to the doctor for blood tests to make sure that what ever I have is not major. Turns out it is likely allergies. My white blood cell count is a bit elevated.
Spent the afternoon catching up on stuff I haven't had time to do the past few weeks. I also started reading Ultra Performance: The Psychology Of Endurance Sports. I am trying to do more reading this year to help me prepare for the swim.
At some point during the day I realized I would not be able to make it to the meet on the weekend. I was quite disappointed but also knew that going would not help me bet better faster, nor would I perform well. I will have to wait for the next meet.
Saturday, Jan 23
AM: Stayed home. Read Ultra Performance: The Psychology Of Endurance Sports
Sunday, Jan 24
AM: Stayed home. Read Ultra Performance: The Psychology Of Endurance Sports
A few other bits
It was a tough week. I don't like being sick. But on the positive side it is better it's now then later on in the season. I am worried about the sinus issue. Although I found things to manage it I really need to get rid of the problem.
Surprisingly no MS worries. I often find that when I am sick my MS flares up too. I am glad to report that I did not this time.

So I was in a relationship for the past year, and we recently broke up. Things have been kinda meh on my end seeing as we spent all our time together so I really didn't go out much or anything. I was hoping you guys and girls could help. Its just been a bit weird and I don't know where to start again ya know?
Most Helpful Girl
You sound exactly like my ex. We broke up last week and I swear to god you could be him. The way you talk and everything sounds just like him XD I don't really know what advice to give you since I have the other end of the stick where I was completely crazy about him. Just try and get back to doing what you do I guess. Go see friends and catch up on things you missed.00|00|0
Haha, it's just that we spent literally every second together so for the last year all I knew was her. Everyone else was crossed off, and it's weird trying to find myself again. I know it may seem really soon, since the two of us have recently split up, but I know no matter what her and I won't be getting back together anytime soon.. so I just want to get back on my feet.
- Show AllShow Less
I'm pretty sure I am not him haha. My ex said the same thing though. She doesn't think I'm the right guy for her, and that even if we met again in the future that she wouldn't date me again. I also feel the same, she asked me to be friends still, but she's been distancing herself a lot. What hurts the most is that I lost my best friend. She texted me yesterday saying that it was hard to find a guy like me, and that she wasn't treated like a princess anymore.
Things are a bit different with us. We have the same friends and we're still spending a lot of time together. I miss him like crazy and would actually do anything to get him back. I really didn't want to lose my best friend so I'm just pretending I can cope but it's making it really hard. We still have a laugh and we're close. Things actually seem better than they were but only because I really really want him back and I'm being super nice to him.

Key findings about the American workforce and the changing job market
The employment landscape in the U.S. has undergone profound changes, and the public is adapting to the new realities of the workplace and rethinking the skills they need to compete. A new Pew Research Center survey, conducted in association with the Markle Foundation, and analysis of government data finds that employment in occupations requiring more education and training is on the rise, and many workers are realizing that retraining and upgrading their skills needs to be a lifetime commitment.
Here are six key takeaways on the state of American jobs:
1Employment has been rising faster in occupations requiring more preparation. As of 2015, some 83 million people worked in jobs that require an average or above average level of preparation (including education, experience and job training), up from 49 million in 1980 – a 68% increase. This was more than double the 31% rise in employment in positions requiring a below average level of job preparation. Employment in these jobs increased from 50 million to 65 million over the same time period.
2Employment and wages have increased most in occupations that require higher social or analytical skills. While employment grew by 50% over all occupations from 1980 to 2015, this growth was much higher among jobs that require average or above average social skills (83%), such as interpersonal, management and communication skills, and those that require higher levels of analytical skills (77%), such as critical thinking and computer skills. Meanwhile, employment is up by only 18% in occupations depending more on physical skills such as manual labor, machinery operation or tool manipulation.
Wages have also increased more among jobs requiring higher social or analytical skills. From 1990 to 2015, the average hourly wage for occupations requiring higher levels of analytical skills rose from $23 to $27. Similarly, the mean wage for occupations requiring higher levels of social skills rose from $22 to $26 per hour. By contrast, the mean hourly wage for jobs requiring average or above average physical skills only rose from $16 to $18.
3The majority of American workers say they will need continuous training to keep up with changes in the workplace, and many say they do not have the skills they need to get ahead. Some 54% of adults in the labor force say that it will be essential for them to get training and develop new skills throughout their work life in order to keep up with changes in the workplace. An additional one-third say this would be important but not essential. Those with the highest levels of education are the most likely to say this will be essential.
About a third of workers (35%) say they do not currently have the education and training they need to get ahead. Yet many are trying to do something about it: 45% of employed adults report they have pursued extra training to maintain or improve their job skills in the past year.
4The public has mixed views on the value of higher education in preparing people for the workplace. Many of those with associate or bachelor's degrees say their own college experience was very useful for helping them grow personally and intellectually (62%), opening up job opportunities (53%) and providing them with useful job-related skills and knowledge (49%).
But more generally, Americans are somewhat skeptical about the value of a college degree in the job market: Only 16% of all U.S. adults – including 13% of those with at least a four-year college degree – say that a bachelor's degree prepares students "very well" for a well-paying job in today's economy, while an additional 51% say it prepares students somewhat well. And 12% say a two-year associate degree prepares students very well (with 46% saying it prepares them somewhat well). About a quarter of Americans (26%) say that certification programs in a professional, technical or vocational field prepares students very well (52% say somewhat well).
5Most Americans think the responsibility for making sure the workforce has the right skills and education to be successful in today's economy lies with individuals themselves. About three-quarters of U.S. adults (72%) say that individuals should bear "a lot" of responsibility for making sure they have the right skills and education to be successful in today's economy. A somewhat smaller share (60%) says that public K-12 schools should have a lot of responsibility, and still smaller shares say a lot of responsibility should fall on colleges and universities (52%), employers (49%), state governments (40%) or the federal government (35%). Republicans and independents who lean toward the Republican Party are particularly likely to place the emphasis on individuals, while Democrats and Democratic leaners are more likely to place the responsibility on public schools, colleges and the government.
6Americans say job security is on the decline, but most workers feel secure in their own jobs. About six-in-ten adults (63%) say the average working person in the U.S. has less job security now than they did 20 or 30 years ago. An additional 19% say job security is about the same as it was then and 16% say there is more job security now. Yet most workers are confident that their own jobs are secure: 88% say they are not too or not at all likely to lose their jobs in the next 12 months.
The public sees threats to workers from multiple fronts. For example, most Americans say that increased outsourcing of jobs to other countries (80%) and more foreign-made products being sold in the U.S. (77%) hurt American workers. Workers see automation as less of a threat. Large majorities see increased use of the internet and other technology in the workplace (70%) and more U.S.-made products being sold abroad (68%) as helping American workers.

In the book Fault Lines by Raghauram G. Rajan, an economist, he speaks to just what your study reveals; the average educational level in the US has not increased above 12th grade over more than the last 20 years. We used to have one of the best educated work forces in the world. That is in large part why we were doing so well in manufacturing. This last recession wiped out many of the high paying high school jobs that were paying as well as many college graduates. They will not be coming back. The jobs that are returning to the US are automated jobs where it is cheaper to hire a robot. These jobs that are returning are requiring more skills and that includes interpersonal skills. The WIOA (The Work Force Innovation and Opportunity Act) speaks directly to how adult educational programs need to interact with businesses to train adult workers that want to upgrade their skill sets.
You might consider comparing our work force with Germany's. They are having to import workers!
Working people need continuity of basic social services such as health care as well as paid leave for childcare and family care in addition to paid leave for educational upgrades not provide through employers. Employers should not have to provide health insurance at all. A stable sociowork environment south make the kind of constant reeducation of workers a powerful economic engine for positive, creative future growth. Yes, this will require taxes paid not avoided. There is no such thing as a free lunch or a free eager qualified employee.
Great article!

Luke Ridnour collected 11 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Sonics, who outscored the Suns, 14-4, in the final 3:15 of a tight contest throughout.
Earl Watson, who netted 10 points, sparked the run with a 3-pointer and Lewis' 3-pointer with 2:01 remaining gave Seattle the lead for good, 102-100.
First-round pick Saer Sene did not attempt a shot in five minutes for the Sonics, who survived 20 turnovers.
Kurt Thomas scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Shawn Marion added 17 and 10 for the Suns, who made just 8-of-29 shots from long distance.
Raja Bell had 14 points, Amare Stoudemire added 13 in 20 minutes and two-time reigning MVP Steve Nash chipped in 12 points and 11 assists but committed seven turnovers for Phoenix, which dropped its second game in a row.
