A Review Essay of Katherine Sonderegger, Systematic Theology Vol. 1: The Doctrine of God, Fortress Press, 2015, xxvi + 539pp. (Link to purchase here).
Reading (and I assume writing!) a multi-volume systematic theology is a quite taxing endeavor. For one, readers must choose wisely which theologians are worth their time, and then must stick through the often cumbersome – even in the best of books – sections of the series to reach the end. There, one hopes, a full picture of an individual's thinking about many of the major topics of the Christian faith will become clear. Katherine Sonderegger's first volume, The Doctrine of God, offers readers a foray into the most basic of theological questions – both the investigations of "what?" God is, and "who?" God is. Her written style is unique among modern systematicians in that I found it to be quite enjoyable in and of itself, regardless of content. Sonderegger simply knows how to write almost poetically, yet she always remains within a rigorous academic treatment of her subject matter. The uniqueness of her style foreshadows, in particular, a few of her own constructive contributions to the doctrine of God that, while being illuminating, a modern theological student might struggle to buy into.
In fact, Sonderegger wastes no time delivering her admittedly peculiar sentiments to the reader. She begins with a sort of justification of her entire project while trying to avoid the normal course of declaring a specific theological methodology (For a peak at her qualms with method – "Doctrine governs and generates method, not the converse!" xx, and "Method is a fatal disease in dogmatics," 377). Since the mid-20th century, at least, theologians by and large have decided to stress the Trinitarian nature of God, and have begun their theology from that starting point rather than the oneness of God. Similarly, it is often the case that theologians ground their doctrines in Christology as the ultimate revelation of God's nature (a sometimes burdensome refrain is scattered throughout this book: "Not all is Christology!"). Sonderegger rejects these two common moves, for "nothing is more fundamental to the Reality of God than this utter unicity" (xiv). It's not necessarily clear as day why she begins that way, but I sense it has a lot to do with how much her theology attempts to embed itself within the order given in scripture. She understands the Christian faith to be deeply rooted with the tradition of ancient Israel along with a corresponding stress upon the relative value given to the Torah. She writes, "The Bible rests upon its own foundation, the law given to Moses, and inscribed in the Pentateuch, the five books of Moses" (13).
Underpinning this turn to the Hebrew Bible lies her understanding of theological reading of the text. Unfortunately, she waits until the very end of her book to explicitly disclose her method of reading scripture. The core of this method is that she believes scripture, even when not obviously instructive in genre, has the ability to teach doctrine, to teach metaphysics even. This allows her to give extraordinarily profound readings of familiar texts like the burning bush of Exodus, Elisha and his servant of 2 Kings, the structure of the Book of Numbers, and the first creation account of Genesis. These readings (more on these later) are one of the strongest, yet at times controversial, aspects of Sonderegger's work.
Enough of my own throat-clearing; let's dive into the main discussions in this text. Besides a few intro and concluding remarks, this first volume of systematics is largely framed around three classical attributes of God: omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience. In this first section then, Sonderegger's overarching argument is that the one God's omnipresence is God's hiddenness. Of course, on the face of it, presence and hiddenness seem just the type of features we would consider polar opposites, but Sonderegger offers reasons why in a doctrine of God they should go together. Succinctly, "The presence of the One God takes place in the Mode and form of invisibility: when He is disclosed, He is not seen" (74). In this argument, her readings of the burning bush and 2 Kings 6 come into play. In the story of Elisha's servant, we realize that God surrounds us with an infinite, yet hidden, presence. Again, while the text may not explicitly be instructive in genre, Sonderegger argues that this text is one of the foundational stories upon which to learn the metaphysical reality of God's spiritual nature and invisibility. With the burning bush (an episode which she oddly claims is the "bedrock of all theological reasoning," 80), a similar truth about God's very nature is taught: God is clearly revealed in the bush as the One Moses encounters, but God remains unseen and hidden even when "revealed" in that way. Moreover, this story teaches about the compatibility between God and creatures – the bush is not consumed. God can be ever-present to creatures without their diminishment.
Along the way, Sonderegger remarks that God's nature, in these instances, reveals itself as naturally communicable. In other words, it is the self-communication of God that teaches us the hidden nature of God's omnipresence. This would be opposed to an apophatic type approach which arrives at a theology of hiddenness due not to the disclosure of God, but rather the lack thereof! Perhaps most strikingly, Sonderegger even cites atheism as testifying, albeit in a non-straightforward way, the hidden nature of God. While these moves are certainly clever, and quite illuminating at times, for the same reasons it is difficult to get fully onboard her project. Hiddenness and invisibility may certainly be a divine attribute based on God's spiritual nature, but it is hard to see how Sonderegger's approach is not at least a partial whitewashing of profound problems in certain Christian understandings of God. Sonderegger turns hiddenness into quite the virtue, indeed it even reveals the holy humility of the Lord in easing into our ways of knowing. I fear, however, that such a swift theological gesture to remove divine hiddenness from the deepest anxieties of human life discredits the profoundness of trying to make do with an often hidden God. Sonderegger is clear that the "hiddenness of God… emerges not from absence but rather from divine presence," (68) with a stress on presence, but I'm not convinced that hiddenness should be so quickly put to positive use.
In the middle portion of the book, Sonderegger addresses the issue of divine omnipotence, or rather, as she puts it, the Lord's holy humility. She is well aware of contemporary problems of divine power, i.e. the classical problem of evil, abuse, and basic definitions. Along the way, she makes interesting use of the identity of essence and existence of God according to scholastic theology; power is not a capacity that God has, but is God's reality – God just is power (e.g., "God does not wield power, does not own it, or exercise it, but rather simply is this," 188). Perhaps controversially, especially to those students of the tradition of omnipotence, Sonderegger does "not define power as to do as one wills" (176). Even further, "we must say that Divine Omnipotence, the Lord's Holy Humility, must be removed from the category cause altogether" (177). Adding to the, now long, list of popular positions she rejects, Sonderegger refuses to think of God as either will (certainly not a deliberative will) or intellect, both positions favored by some of the more influential figures in Christian history. At this point, she tests the waters of her theory against Schleiermacher's conception of God as absolute cause, favoring her own account of divine power in relation with creatures.
Delving into a theological reading of Jeremiah and the Book of Numbers, Sonderegger argues for a vision of a "dangerous" God, completely free over creation. With Jeremiah, she wonders whether the Israelite pattern of exile and return should not rather simply be called abuse. While foreshadowing elements of her later Christology, she proclaims that the cycle of exile and return has an ending (and it is not that we deserve our own suffering or trials), ultimate redemption, brought about by our relation to Christ – again, the real form of divine power. But perhaps more interesting is Sonderegger's reading of Numbers as a whole. Through all of its rampant disorder and confusion, Numbers, for her, represents the general character of our human lives that are often difficult to put into a meaningful narrative. Strikingly, God seems rather strange in this book: jealous, changing moods, etc. Moses instead looks like the God Christians know; he intercedes for Israel, is patient, and embodies humility. She takes this to be a sort of (metaphorical?) fusion of divine and human in Moses and the Lord of Numbers whereby Moses displays many of the divine attributes we have been discussing thus far. Sonderegger writes, "The daring distribution of subjectivity we find in Numbers, the deification of Moses (!), speaks in its own idiom, of Christ's personal life, His Hypostatic Union with the Word" (293). Apart from some often times odd remarks concerning Moses' relation with the latter revelation of Christ, the point is driven home that God's power lies within God's relation.
This God, working through the human Moses and Jeremiah combines a sort of mutability in immutability. The relation to creatures that Sonderegger reads from these familiar narratives is the expression of omnipotence: holy humility, to descend and engage with creation. The creation accounts of Genesis come to her aid regarding the fusion of humility and power with Sonderegger's account of the jussive "let there be…" of Genesis 1. This, according to Sonderegger, is God's invitation to life demarcated from the notion of command. However, "the initiative in any relation ad extra lies with Almighty God: He makes a relation possible" (301). In summarizing all of these points, it is difficult to see just how Sonderegger imagines how the relation of the divine nature to creation results in what we would normally consider power. While rejecting any concept that identifies omnipotence with an all-powerful will, act, or causation altogether, the reader is hard-pressed to understand just what the divine relation ad extra is. Perhaps her forthcoming volumes will address this issue in its requisite depth when dealing with Christology – a unique salvific relation (utilizing Schleiermacher) she hints at in a few places in the present work.
Moving lastly toward divine omniscience, Sonderegger again highlights the identity of essence and existence in God. Knowledge, here, is not a faculty, nor the result of a filled divine mind. Connecting knowledge with the divine perfection of eternity (which for her, "is not the absence of time," 343), Sonderegger makes a quite clever argument for God's knowledge apart from any creation. God's knowledge is not what is learned from observing the events of the world, in other words. Omniscience, like power and presence from above, is the way the Lord relates to creatures. In short, Lady Wisdom, for Sonderegger, is God personified – wise in all her ways. Omniscience, then, is independent of creatures, and is, in my mind, better placed alongside traditional notions of what it means to be wise – a feature of how one lives their life. Rejecting ideas of God filled with anxiety and fear, Sonderegger is adamant to argue that God as wisdom itself does not mean that God is a relentless inquisitor always ready to attack the human conscience. Humility, as in the other attributes, plays a central role; God's knowing is humble, giving creatures their privacy and space to be themselves.
I'll admit Sonderegger's argument for divine omniscience was complex and took many detours along the way. It'll take much closer study to arrive at the full ramifications of her thesis here, and to learn from her theological acumen. Sandwiched between her conclusions regarding divine omniscience proper is a brief roundabout treatment of human knowledge of God and the world. She calls these the problems of grounding and representation. Our knowledge is not "grounded" in an archetype in God's mind, say, nor is God properly known through mental representation – this would violate the fundamental axiom that God is uncircumscribable and spiritual, without form. A nuanced form of representation is true though, especially regarding Christ (again with odd remarks regarding Moses – Christ is "the one who represents Moses perfectly," 409), known in loving faith by humanity, and as a representative (rather than a representation) of God.
As was admitted in the beginning of my review, readers heavily influenced or convinced by a Christological grounding of theological epistemology may be confused why Sonderegger just doesn't take that next step, particularly here when the potential seems most alluring. Readers on this point may just have to leave it at a fundamental theological disagreement, yet this should not be reason to ignore Sonderegger's poking and prodding on this subject matter. Moving on now, Sonderegger concludes the section on divine omniscience with a heavily Augustine-influenced doctrine of divine illumination. God is not seen, but is that which we see by. God provides the basis for our own ability to know things.
Readers who have traveled this far, both in my review and deep into the last pages of Sonderegger's book, will be graced with a discussion of divine love as the "keystone of divine perfections" (perhaps another nod to the structure of Schleiermacher's The Christian Faith). Theology, for her, should evoke love, not burden the reader with dull 'castle in the sky' remarks. Once again returning to her favorite theological position, Sonderegger tries to explore what it means for God to be love, not just have it. This immediately raises the question of whether or not God as love itself is inherently in need of an object for that love, after all, what is love without an object? Many theologians, Barth and Augustine included, have run full speed with this metaphor to posit the necessity of eternal distinctions within God to account for the seemingly necessary character of an object for divine love. But Sonderegger, as is par for the course by this point, wants to say that God is love irrespective of an object of that love. She likens divine love to a disposition that is a fact regarding God's nature. Here, "The Lord God is Love as a metaphysical Disposition and Truth, a Substance that carries this Property, a Nature that is defined in just this way" (488). In the end, this God is passionate, but not in the same way as some liberation theologians would have it; God does not suffer in love, nor does emotion entail embodiment as some might worry.
That wraps up the first volume of Katherine Sonderegger's Systematic Theology. While there are many points where readers and I may disagree on quite fundamental levels, others may find her account of God nearly flawless in its unique ability to illuminate our subject matter as theologians. Regardless of one's perspective on the specifics, her book is at the same time thoroughly enjoyable to read, think through, and devote time to as it is a stark challenge to much late 20th century theology. I can wholeheartedly recommend this work to anyone with an interest in theology, content in my own experience of assurance that Sonderegger will challenge, and ultimately strengthen, the reader's own understanding of God.

As promised, more Summer Prescott books! It looks like this series was written in between the Frosted Love books, and there are 8 in the set. A few characters cross over from other series, notably "creepy neighbor" Tim.
The first book is A Lime to Kill.
Book #8 is Live and Lime Die.
Of course the plots center around murder and Key Lime pie (one of my favorite pie flavors). The books are fun to read, and fill the daily cozy requirement. As usual, I like Summer's books and recommend them, especially if you are 1.) a murder mystery fan, 2.) a cozy fan, or 3.) a pie fan.
Key Lime forever!

Depreciation, Deterioration and Obsolescence when there is Embodied or Disembodied Technical Change
The paper considers how to measure capital in a model where technical progress is either embodied in new units of capital or it is "disembodied" and simply causes the price of capital services to fall. The disembodied case is considered in sections 2-4. Sections 2 and 3 set out standard vintage capital aggregation models when there is no embodied technical progress. Section 4 discusses disembodied obsolescence in more detail. Section 5 introduces new (more efficient) models of the capital good so that technical progress is embodied in the new models. Section 6 shows how the parameters in the Jorgenson model of capital services could be estimated by statistical agencies if their investment surveys covered sales and retirements of used assets as well as purchases of new assets. Section 7 concludes.

Pax Christi USA, the Catholic peace organization, has hailed President Obama's nuclear disarmament call.
"This is an exciting moment, a new moment in the long struggle to bring fundamental change to U.S. nuclear weapons policies and an important first step," said Dave Robinson, Executive Director of Pax Christi USA, the national Catholic peace movement.
"As people of faith, we are particularly heartened by the President's admission that as the only nation to use nuclear weapons we bear a special moral burden. As we move forward, Pax Christi USA is dedicated to ensuring that this moral commitment is translated into concrete changes in Pentagon strategies and spending priorities."
"President Obama's commitments to seek Senate ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, negotiate an end to the production of nuclear materials for weapons, and negotiate deep cuts in the Russian and U.S. arsenals offer real hope that we have turned the corner on the dangerous and destabilizing polices of the past 8 years," said Robinson.
"Now we all need to support this commitment and convince the U.S. Senate to support the Treaty. In addition, we urge the Administration to seek the proposed immediate, deep cuts in the U.S. and Russian arsenals within a specified framework that binds both nations to engage the international community in establishing a timetable for global, verifiable elimination of all nations' nuclear weapons."
President Obama's speech echoed positions consistently taken by the Vatican. In October 2008, Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, Holy See Secretary for Relations with States, told the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency that "global security must not rely on nuclear weapons. The Holy See considers the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty an important tool to achieve this aim."
We say: Charlottesville reveals the weeping wound of racism. What do we, the American Catholic faith community, do next? Read the editorial.
Last month, in a major address at the University of Great Falls, Montana, Bishop Gabino Zavala, President of Pax Christi USA called for many of the steps outlined today by President Obama: "So I stand here today with great hope that a very new moment for dramatic and fundamental changes in U.S. nuclear weapons policies is within our reach.
In addition to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, long-sought goals of taking deployed nuclear weapons off hair-trigger alert status, negotiating a fissile materials cut-off treaty, and amending the Moscow Treaty to make its proposed cuts in U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals real and irreversible—are all within reach of the new Administration and Senate. Each of these important and achievable steps will build the momentum needed to move further toward an international treaty to outlaw nuclear weapons once and for all."
Pax Christi USA's national campaign, A New Moment for Nuclear Disarmament," works to engage Catholics and all people of faith and conscience to educate, engage and mobilize their communities to support fundamental changes in U.S. nuclear weapons policies and the establishment of a global verifiable treaty to outlaw all nuclear weapons.

SF Startup Copious Is A Social Marketplace
A San Francisco startup called Copious has built an online marketplace that allows all buyers and sellers to link their Facebook identities. The idea is to make the online marketplace feel safer and allowing buyers and sellers to see how many degrees of separation the other party is in their network.
The user will also be able to see if anyone in their networks has purchased, shared, or commented on an item from the seller. Not only can Facebook identities be linked, but also Twitter accounts and blogs too, giving you a fairly well drawn picture that you aren't dealing with a Nigerian scammer.
The beta is being launched today, and the website will focus on selling handbags, and will open up more categories in the coming days. Copious has no listing fees but do take a 10% commission on each transaction. Fortunately, the discount launch price is only a 3.5% commission, to get the ball rolling on sales.
The company hopes that consumers and sellers will take advantage of the low commission price that Copious takes and begin selling right away. Once the marketplace begins to fill with listings, the company will have a better chance of improving and expanding its operations and who knows, maybe eBay will buy them in the future?

The U.S. and Regional Economies: A Monetary Policymaker's Perspective 1 Presentation to St. Mary's College Annual Economic Conference St. Mary's College, Moraga, California By Robert T. Parry, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco For delivery April 14, 2004, 4:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time, 7:00 PM Eastern The U.S. and Regional Economies: A Monetary Policymaker's Perspective I. Good afternoon. It's a pleasure to be with you. A. In my remarks, I'm going to focus mainly on the national economy and its implications for monetary policy B. But I also want to say a few words about the economy here in the Bay Area. II. Let me start with the national picture. A. One of the hallmarks of the U.S. economy for quite some time now has been its remarkable productivity performance. 1. After more than two decades of growing at only about a one and a half percent rate, a. the pace of productivity growth (1) picked up around the end of 1995 (2) and averaged a rapid two and a half percent for the next five years. 2. After that, it really took off— a. —over the past three years, the rate has averaged an extraordinary four and a quarter percent! B. This performance has been a fundamental force in the economy's growth. 1. It bodes well for a continuation of the current upswing in economic activity, a. because faster productivity growth creates business opportunities that stimulate spending. 2 2. It also bodes well for long-run increases in living standards in the U.S. C. Of course, the strong productivity performance is only one of the fundamental forces stimulating the economy's growth at this point. Let me mention two other important fundamentals. 1. There's the stimulus in the pipeline from fiscal policy. a. This includes the pickup in defense spending to support the action in Iraq b. and a series of sizable tax packages.

"The first power cord was made for my sister," Nguyen says."When I first started knitting, I would knit everyone gifts, and it was hard coming up with something for my sister because she isn't very girly.
"The idea for the power cord came to me when I was drifting off to sleep one night. I keep an idea book next to my bed, and it just hit me--genius idea! And I scrawled a drawing of a power cord in my book and wrote 'knit' next to it."

Nanotechnology prt.2
There are cons to nanotechnology. One of these cons is that jobs and employments will be lost at a very alarming rate since nanorobots can do a lot of work much faster and more efficiently as compared to a human. Another con is that the nanorobots are almost untraceable and could be used as a weapon of mass destruction. Or that this new technology will be very hard to make laws for and govern these rules.

Just though id post this.... I bought this bike for $25 the other day. Im actually pretty stoked on it. It was hanging in the garage, and is still dusty with original tires... They even had the manual from 1996. Pumped up the tires and rode it around for a bit, but never really took it anywhere. Any ideas on a possible suspension fork? Does anybody here ride a complete rigid bike?

In my culture it is basically the same so please be specific.
What's the difference between asking someone out and going to a date?
What Girls Said 1
asking someone out is officially asking them to be yours. "will you be my girlfriend?"
going on a date is just 2 people getting to know each other without any particular kind of set bond.
that's how it works in my view anyway.00|00|0
I thought it was the other way around! So dating is more casual than going out?
in my opinion, yes.
What Guys Said 2
asking someone out is more like saying hey be my gf/bf, the young kids way. Going out on a date ia physically taking that person somewhere to get to know each other better, and is a lot more effective!00|00|0
Honestly I am not really sure if there is any difference. I don't know.00|00|0

Are you a new homeowner? Did you recently purchase your first home? After years of renting, it is so much fun to finally have a place to call your own. If you want to play your music late at night, your downstairs neighbor won't be pounding on your door. You can paint your bedroom green and your kitchen red if you want and hang pictures wherever you desire. However, if you end up having problems with plumbing in Jersey City, there is no building maintenance person to come fix it for you. Don't sweat it though. You can call on Roto-Rooter to help you anytime plumbing trouble rears its ugly head.
List Maintenance Tasks
There are a lot of jobs that need to be done regularly when you own a home. Staying on top of them is tricky at first, but if you make a schedule of all the things that need maintenance, it will definitely be easier to keep track of it all. When you spread the tasks out over the year, they become much more manageable. You are going to need to make a list of everything that needs attention. Walk around your home with a pen and paper to write down everything that comes to mind.
Make a Schedule
Don't forget the main systems in your home like your furnace, air conditioner, and water heater. These need regular servicing by professionals if you want them to last a long time. You can clean and change the filters in your heating and cooling system yourself to save money. It is not difficult and, when done regularly, will help keep allergens out of the air in your home. Be sure to schedule maintenance at the appropriate times of the year to avoid having a major break down. You want your heater up and running when the weather turns frosty. Coordinating the maintenance schedule with your work and family calendars is vital to avoiding confusion.
Emergencies Take Priority
There are always going to be emergencies that come up. These obviously will take priority over staining the fence, sealing the concrete, or mowing the grass. Those jobs can easily be rescheduled for another week. When you find water on your basement floor, do not hesitate to call the experts in plumbing in Jersey City at Roto-Rooter anytime night or day, weekends, holidays, or whenever you need them.

Thanks for letting me know when I can and cannot respond.
First few games I could say it was our defense, but Theo has not been nearly at the same level that he was last year.
Signs of greatness then back to struggling. He doesn't fight puck anywhere near the way Clemmer does, but he's struggling.
I'm sorry but a 3.41 GAA and .890 save% are absolutely terrible stats, especially for a team who NEEDS great goaltending to stay relevant. Guys he's 37 this year. He played much better than anyone could have expected last season, but he's pushing 40. I don't know if he can continue playing at that pace ala Ed Belfour.
Can we really afford to sit around and wait for one of our goalies to "find their rhythm"? We're 1/4th of the way into the season.
We can stick with Theo and hope he turns it around, but if his GAA continues to hover above 3, this team is picking top-3 this season because we do not have the offence to make up for it.

We are in an interesting situation. We have a massive organization,1/3 of which has a CAL for MOSS, while the others only have the windowsserver CAL. We are looking for a tool that will automate thepublishing of content housed in various MOSS sites, to simple WSS v3sites, where the general population can be given access. Does anybodyknow of such a tool, or method that makes this a reasonableundertaking?
CorasWorks software provides a data publishing web part that will pushdata from one site to another. You can contact them for a trial of theirsoftware. I am new to CorasWorks and have only used this twice, but itseems to work ok.
we actually do own CorasWorks, and I am intimatelyfamiliar with their stuff (use it all the time, they are great andhave a great product). Coicidentally enough, I just submitted a helprequest to them about the capabilities of the data publisher. I havea bad feeling that it can only move data between sites on the samevirtual server, which would not meet my requirements, but I'll postback if I find out otherwise. Thanks for the tip though and goodluck working with Corasworks, if you use it right, the benefits arehuge.

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
Review by Snow Dragon
"Ear-bitingly good!"
Mike Tyson may not be quite as bright as a halogen bulb, and his English might not be on par with, say, the Queen Mother's, but he is a definite lock for the position of pioneer when it comes to licensing products he'll never even look at again. Well, here it is more than a decade after this title was released, and it turns out it's still a classic as far as the Public Gaming Domain is concerned. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! was, yes, a bit of a farce to be sure. The characters were so diversified that their personalities were almost as hard-hitting as their furious punches. To be sure, the only boxing game that's ever come close to the magic of Punch-Out! is Ready 2 Rumble, and that's still a distant second. Still, in light of the recent release of a Mike Tyson title for Game Boy Advance that isn't nearly as good as this NES ring rocker, we are here to look back and indulge in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!
In this, the greatest boxing game ever devised for any system despite its many comical overtones, you play as the diminutive Little Mac, a smalltime amateur who's out to prove something and is on a mission to slowly work his way up to the top. His first adversary is Glass Joe, an ugly Frenchman with moves so standard Paula Jones could have beaten him in Celebrity Boxing. From there it only gets more intense. You'll face the Japanese powerhouse Piston Honda, tall muscleman Soda Popinski, and of course King Hippo, the morbidly obese tub of lard who later found fame as one of the Mother Brain's dumber-than-a-box-of-rocks henchmen on the Captain N series. Each boxer, all the way up to the man Tyson himself (whose portrayal in 8-bit pixel mode is disturbingly accurate), has a system that has to be studied and studied and studied again to master and overcome. Between-round banter and training sessions with your enthusiastic trainer are interspersed among the rough brawls, and a password is used to monitor your progress through the ranks. I'm not sure if there's ever been a better boxing game made. I really doubt another one will ever be made. It takes a toughened spirit to beat this game and know everybody and their moves inside and out, sideways and backwards. Plus, enough is incorporated into it that it's just pure, unadulterated fun.
The graphics in this game are very well done. I'm surprised by the amount of detail put into demeanor and facial expression, both in making sure they make Little Mac feel like dirt with nothing more than a look and in their grimaces and winces when they've been sufficiently floored. I am totally astounded by the isometric view this game employs. It's good for the action and a landmark for the time that it came out. If someone was going to do a boxing game first, it's good that they got it right, since one of my beliefs is that the first game of a genre should be good so that it can be a primer for the others like it. Boxers in this game run the gamut from skinny and weak to the buffest buff guy in the world. From Glass Joe to Tyson, this whole game is a knockout in the looks department. But why does Little Mac wear a pink jogging suit? Another unsolved mystery is upon us. One cool thing, though: Mario cameos as the referee! Happy happy joy joy.
I like the sound in the game about as much as I like the graphics, but it doesn't quite match up somehow. Usually, a theme song related to the boxer will play when the two of you get ready to exchange fists. For example, when you face Glass Joe, you get a little ditty of the French national anthem, among others. Sounds like the biff of a boxing glove seem a bit muffled, but it is of little concern to most people who are avid fans of this game. Heck, a lot of the sounds in this game don't make sense. Wait until your opponents are sent reeling by your gloves of fury! Oh man, good times, good times. This is classic NES action at its best, let me tell you. I really don't care how unrealistic the sound is - this game provides a rush and a thrill that few other fighters, or even games period, can rival.
As for controls, you couldn't ask for them to be any more responsive than they already are. The bulk of your time will be spent evading the many types of punches flying at you courtesy of your myriad antagonists. Little Mac will obediently hop left or right to dodge a wallop in the jaw at the hand of someone three times taller and stronger than him. You can also punch rapidly or strategically as your method allows. Build up enough stars to deliver a smack that your opponent will be feeling next Wednesday - all with only eight buttons (counting the D-pad directions individually) at your disposal. You couldn't ask for a better companion than your NES controller to put Little Mac on top and make him the toast of the town. It's no walk in the park though: as you go along, you'll have to tap that D-pad faster and faster and make more use of the super punches and the El Cheapo A button to rise through the ranks. Little Mac can be one heck of a boxer if you're a master of the controls. Are you?
In retrospect, I wonder how much Mike Tyson actually had to do with this project. Does he play it today even? Did he know what was going on and did he oversee the entire testing and play control process or what? Or is this just some product he voluntarily slapped his name on in a heartless attempt to come by some more cold, hard cash? It doesn't matter. Mike Tyson's contractual obligations don't stop this from being a great game at all. It's so full of characters so farcical they could have hopped straight from the pages of a comic book (or, considering some of the other things he's come up with, the mind of Shigeru Miyamoto). Their qualities give them personalities not often reflected upon, but clearly seen in both their break time banter and the way they fight. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! is a rampant success - nay, a masterpiece, I dare say.
Considering this, it's no wonder this is a cartridge heralded and hoarded to this day. I'm lucky to have a friend who owns this game still. Surprisingly old-school in his tastes for his tender age, he knows what he has and has clung to it wisely. Few games have the vim and vigor of this early NES release, and few probably ever will again. Even if you're not a boxing fan, you shouldn't look on this as strictly a boxing game. It's so much more. Play it and play it and play it and play it again. It has everlasting appeal with influences still seen today. Sure, Ready 2 Rumble was a boxing game - or was it? It makes you think. Not in a Matrixy way, but you know. You know what I'm talking about. Play this and soak it up. Love it. Hold it. Cherish it. Praise it. Play it again.
POW! Right in the Kisser
--Vibrant graphics and personalities to match
--Controls actually keep Little Mac from getting battered to a mushy pulp
--It's maintained an appeal that is still in full force to this day
Down For the Count
--Funky sounds are a bit off occasionally
--Hmm ... is there anything else? I guess not

Kern Valley CBCs
Expand Messages
- Hi Birders
Both the South Fork and Kern River Valley CBCs were held in beautiful
weather. So, many wonderful birders came up to help. The bird counts held no
records for number of species but the quality was first rate.
On the South Fork CBC, Sandra Wieser and I found Red-naped, Red-breasted and
Williamson's Sapsuckers along with White-headed, Downy and Nuttall's
Woodpeckers at Scodie Park in Onyx. During the day we also found Acorn
Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker and Northern Flicker. Another party found
Ladder-backed Woodpecker in the Joshua Tree forest.
So a very good woodpecker day on Saturday...
On Sunday the owling team of Gary File and Michael McQuerrey rounded out an
8 owl CBC. All that was missed of the wintering owls was Short-eared. The
work of Michael and Gary is most appreciated as they discovered the very
hard to find Spotted Owl. Bob Barnes was able to get a Long-eared Owl at
Prince Pond on the Kern River Preserve. These birds rarely call in winter so
it was a thrill to hear it.
A new bird was added to the count with John Schmitt's - White-throated
Sparrow. This species was also seen on Saturday by the team of Frank Gibson,
Don Storm and David Chilton at a private residence in Weldon.
A rare to the valley American Avocet was seen at Kissack Cove along with a
yet unconfirmed dark mantled gull (teams are out today trying to verify if
this gull is in fact something rare to the county).
So, with all but two counts left in Kern County, this has been an exciting
CBC season. Join the Tehachapi Mountain Birding Club for the final two CBCs
of the season and start your New Year off right.
Good birding and I wish everyone at least one county bird this year.

Glock 1911
1 Attachment(s)
Not sure if this has ever been posted here before....but if Glock did ever make this, would you buy it?
Depends on the price. Not bad looking at all though. I'd probably buy the gen2 1911 since they never made a 1911, I'm sure there would be issues with their first line out. Ya know.
Yes it has been posted in the glock forum, it was later determined to be a photoshop of another 1911 that is not a glock.
As been said- Depends on price of course but if i was able I'd dearly love to try one out if it ever exsists :rolleyes:

GAZA, Oct 12 (Reuters) As Muslims marked the Eid el-Fitr holiday with gifts and feasts today, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip felt the tightening grip of an Israeli embargo and mourned the dead from factional fighting.
Fluttering banners showed up the division: yellow in a few areas for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction, many more green flags for the Hamas Islamist movement, whose forces routed Fatah in June.
Although there were no reports of trouble as people gathered to mark what should be one of the happiest days of the year, the fear was never far from the surface in the coastal enclave of 1.5 million.
''It's a sad Eid,'' said Abu Ali, 60, as he walked to his mosque.
''It comes with the brothers far apart, as enemies.'' Fatah this week rejected a new call for dialogue from Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was dismissed as prime minister by Abbas in June following what the president described as a ''coup'' in Gaza. Over 160 people were killed in the June battles.
Haniyeh renewed his message to thousands of worshippers assembled for prayers, telling them: ''There are wounds in every house but we need to rise above the pain. Let's shake hands and let love and harmony prevail.'' But there is little sign Abbas is ready to listen.
His moves to isolate Hamas have won him the promise of talks on a peace deal with Israel and an end to international sanctions in the West Bank that were imposed on Palestinian areas after Hamas won a parliamentary election last year.
In the West Bank, Palestinians were more upbeat as people got together for family celebrations.
But Gaza's borders have been virtually sealed to all but essential supplies, casting a shadow over the holiday.
SHORTAGES New clothes, a traditional purchase at this time of year, were hard to find in Gaza this week and prices for old stock had also risen sharply.
''People are poor, they are virtually dead. Parents can hardly feed their children,'' said mother-of-five Umm Mohammad as she hunted bargains yesterday. ''Sometimes you have to choose between food and new clothes.'' One shoe salesman told customers to be grateful for what they could still find: ''The situation is tragic,'' he said. ''But I'll be happy if things stay this bad -- it could get worse.'' Though Eid is traditionally a day of joy, many Palestinians also choose to visit family graves, especially those of ''martyrs'' killed in the conflict with Israel.
This year, many of the freshest memorials in Gaza are to those killed by their neighbours during the bloodshed in June.
One woman whose son died fighting Israeli troops in 2000 said his death had made her proud -- unlike that of another relative who had died during the June battles: ''I am happy my son was killed by the Jews and not by Palestinians.
''How could a Muslim kill a Muslim? How could a brother kill his brother?'' she asked. ''It is against our religion.'' Nayef Kali mourned his daughter, a mother of six, who was also caught up in the clashes: ''I am sad she was killed by Arab arms, arms that should be aimed at the Jews, not each other.
''I hope my daughter's blood is the last to be shed.'' REUTERS PD BD1811

When a CMP instance is created there are two callbacks setEntityContext (the entity now exists) and activate (the entity now has a primary key). Both of these callbacks are allowed to lookup stuff in JNDI like EJBs and JDBC connections. Some applications cache lots of data and some even cache data from databases. So it could be very expensive. For most apps, these callbacks are empty. > How are you coding the interaction between the (oh-so-wonderfully- > named) > commit options and the JPA data cache? I'm not because my implementation didn't work. I tried to implement them by keeping cache of instances. Then when an instance if fetched, I would check the global cache, and if there was an instance available, I would call merge. Then if commit option B, I would do a refresh (reload?). The problem was that merge returned a new instance making my global cache useless. -dain

Apple's unveiling of the iPhone 4 may have gotten a lot of people excited already over the new hardware, however, those a bit on the frugal side will be glad to see that the current 3GS models are getting a much needed price chop. Apple announced that all of the current versions of the iPhone 3GS are being dropped in price with your signing of a 2-year agreement – the 16GB will sell for $149 while 32GB one is priced at $199. However, Apple will also be making an 8GB version of the iPhone 3GS which will be priced at $99 and naturally replaces the 8GB iPhone 3G. Needless to say that the price point will make it extremely difficult for customers to pass up – especially when iOS 4 will be in full swing on the handset. As much as some would like to see the iPhone start to be sold for free on-contract, we'll see how this move will shake up the industry now that a capable smartphone can be purchased for very little.

The University of Minnesota women's gymnastics team put together a true team effort Saturday night in Denver, Colo. as they tallied a 196.225 without claiming one individual crown. The Golden Gophers score was enough to trump host No. 17 Denver, No. 25 Arizona State and Iowa for the overall team victory.
As Minnesota entered the final rotation, they were down to Denver by .025, but thanks to a season-best vault set, the Gophers pulled out the narrow victory. The Maroon and Gold had five gymnasts score a 9.825 or over to help clinch the title.
The Gophers started off the quad meet hot by tallying their best bars score of the season. Janell Campbell, Lucy Ennis and Cierra Tomson guided the team on the apparatus with each scoring a 9.850. The impressive mark was enough for the trio to share fourth place.
Shannon Golich led the team in the next rotation, which was beam. Golich garnered second place with a 9.850 while the Amber Hammerschmidt and Dusti Russell posted a 9.800, respectively. All together, the team notched a 48.850, giving them a score of 97.925 at the halfway point. The Gophers score on beam tied with Arizona State for the top team score.
For the third rotation, Minnesota headed to its strongest event in the floor exercise. The Gophers didn't disappoint as they had five gymnasts score a 9.800 or better. Tomson was the top scorer on the team as she tied for fourth with a 9.825. Campbell, Golich, Kylie Schermann and Kayla Slechta each tallied a 9.800 to help the Gophers post the second-best team score on floor of the night.
Everything came down to the final rotation as Minnesota trailed Denver by .025 at the turn, but the Gophers tallied a season-best score of 49.275 to claim victory. Slechta and Ennis provided the spark as they each earned a 9.875 to tie for second. All in all, five Gopher gymnasts scored a 9.825 or better.
Tomson was the lone all around for Minnesota as she claimed third with a career-high score of 39.250.
The Gophers now turn all their attention to the Big Ten Championships next weekend in Iowa City, Iowa. The conference meet is slated to have two different four-team sessions next Saturday.

Logan Hayes was barely old enough to walk when he first set foot on a surfboard. Inspired by a father and big brother that loved surfing, Logan was a prodigy if there ever was one. By his tenth year, he'd won a major surf championship twice, and secured a sponsorship from arguably the biggest company in surfing. Logan has lived a life that would be a dream come true for even the most seasoned surfers, and he continues to move forward, honing his elite skills, and inspiring those who see him in his element.
"Eyes are put in the front of your head to look forward not back."
Like Father, Like Sons
Very often, when a parent is passionate about something, they expose their children in hopes that they'll share that passion. Numerous photos exist of the young brothers, Logan and Hunter, surfing the beaches of Florida with their father, himself a surfer of admirable skill. Logan's father must be glad he taught them to surf, because after exposing his sons to surfing in 1999, it was off to the races. Tournament wins soon followed, and before Logan was even a teen, it was clear that he had the potential to compete with the best surfers in the world.
Teamed Up With Ron Jon
There are athletes who excel at their sport from an early age, and then there is Logan Hayes. Sponsored by the world's most renowned surf shop by age 10, the sponsorship was a major catalyst for Logan's career. The decision to sign the ten year old surfer came after a major victory, specifically his win at the 2007 Hurley Rip My Shred Stick; a 16 and under competition at Sebastian Inlet that he won twice in a row. While age 10 may seem young to be a pro-surfer, Logan Hayes already had nine years of surfing experience under his belt, since he began at the ripe age of one.
Ron Jon Surf Celebrity
As a highly talented surf prodigy, Logan Hayes lived the experience of growing up as a Ron Jon surf celebrity. He mentions that he didn't know what it meant at first to be sponsored by Ron Jon, until he was picked up from school and taken to go shoot a commercial. The Ron Jon rep explained, "Here's your script, memorize it, we're going to the inlet", and that began the television commercial career of Logan Hayes. After almost a decade of traveling the world surfing in tournaments and exhibition videos for the famous Ron Jon brand, it's clear that the partnership is a win/win for both Logan and Ron Jon.
The Beaches of Florida
As one might expect, the beaches of Florida are a popular haven for surfers and skimboarders. While the waves don't get as crazy as Teahupoo, beaches like Vero, Cocoa, New Smyrna and others attract hundreds of surfers on any of the numerous hot days in Florida. Locals know that each of the beaches has its own distinct traits that set it apart, as some beaches allow cars, have bigger waves, and attract more people than others. While known for being typically sunny and tropical in terms of weather, Florida can get dark and windy really quick during hurricane season, which means bigger waves for ballsy surfers.
New Smyrna Beach
Near the world famous Daytona Beach is a lesser-known beach that was recently voted one of the top ten surf spots in the world by Surfer Magazine. Located on what's known as the "Fun Coast" because the 386 area code spells "FUN" on a touch phone, New Smyrna is more for surfers and hikers rather than tourists. This is evidenced by its surfing accolades and by the 2.4 miles of boardwalk that surrounds Smyrna Dunes Park. It's no surprise that some of Logan's most epic videos were filmed at New Smyrna Beach.
Logan at Cocoa Beach
Sixty-seven miles south of New Smyrna along the Florida coastline is another legendary beach that Logan knows well. Cocoa Beach is home to Kennedy Space Center, Ron Jon Surf Shop, and numerous high-profile surf events. Among these, the 51st Annual Easter Surf Fest is arguably the largest. Featuring nine categories, Logan Hayes found himself placing second, with a first place finish among 18 year olds. Tournaments like that and surf exhibition videos are commonly filmed at Cocoa Beach, which has become a popular location for East Coast surfers like Logan Hayes.
Ron Jon Trip to Puerto Rico
One advantage of being a team surfer for Ron Jon is that Logan gets to travel to some of the greatest surfing destinations in the world. A 2014 trip to Puerto Rico included more than just stellar surf sessions, as Logan is seen using a translator to purchase candy at a local store, cliff diving with friends off a massive waterfall, and having a fun time overall. Featuring high jumps, tough tricks, and masterful control, Logan's Puerto Rico video is a fast-paced showcase of his elite surf skills.
Logan's Surf Film, "Borders"
Showing the world that he's on top of his game, Logan Hayes closed out 2015 with the release of his film, Borders. Filmed by director Dalton Smith and produced by Ron Jon Surf Shop, Borders shows Logan's adventures as he travels around Florida, California, and Nicaragua catching waves, engaging with locals, and living the sweet life. Set to the backdrop of stylish music, the film splices images of tropical locales, aerial surf shots, and Logan in action that creates a sick surf video. Logan's fun-loving personality is on full-display in the film Borders, as he's seen masterfully riding the wave machine at Wavehouse in San Diego, hunting bugs with his buddies, and handing out hats to local kids.

Style: 37679479 Colour:
Made from our semi-sheer Beach jersey, this effortless wrap dress features on-seam pockets and a waist tie. Throw on top of a bikini or layer over one of our seamless styles for an effortless look.
Comfortable and versatile
Love this dress, very comfortable to wear as a dress and I also wear it without the tie over other dresses as a cardi. I am 5 foot and 110 pounds, fits well through the shoulders and arms, drapes well over the hips once it is tied. It is a wrap dress and looks exactly like it does in the picture once it is on.
I rarely make impulse purchases, but when I saw this dress I bought it immediately because it has all the elements that I love (color, shape, versatility, machine washable, etc...). However, when I got the item, I was disappointed. The purple color is not as rich as is shown in the picture. The sleeves are super tight at the forearm and then flare out at the top (not flattering). There is nothing holding the dress together inside, so you better tie the sash that comes with it tight. Overall, it looked like one of those jersey fabric bath robes. Shame since it looks so good in the picture.

Wedding Budget Savings
You're engaged! Congratulations! Already worried about the B-word ? B is for BRIDE, right? But until that day comes, for most couples, B is for BUDGET. Here are some ideas for starting yours off right.
After you have considered your date carefully (read more about selecting your wedding date HERE), your next thought might be "I don't want to spend more than $X". If you want it all and can afford it all—awesome! Go for it! Otherwise, WAIT! Set your wedding day priorities first. Reception venue selection will be covered in the next four parts of this series—that's a biggie. After your reception venue, rank your other purchases like Ovation Images photography, DJ or Band, Videographer, food, cake, liquor, photo booth, ice sculptures, and…..your dress (why the dress is last on OUR list is explained in Part 10!). Re-rank your list until you have it in the priority order that fits your vision of your wedding day. Then comes the hard part—keeping your priorities straight as the amount left in the budget dwindles!
At one of Ovation Images weddings last year, the bride's family was from the old country and the groom's family were just Pittsburgh folks. The bride wanted an exciting and fun reception for both families. So one of her top priorities was TWO bands—one to play classic old country ethnic songs in the best tradition, and another to rock the house. Her other priorities? To her the dress was not as important as her families, and she got a relatively inexpensive gown from David's. She looked gorgeous. THAT is the bride knowing her priorities and sticking to them. And her wedding day? To die for! That is what prioritization can do for you. You can see our video of how her wedding turned out here: http://ovationimages.com/2011/05/16/engagement-and-wedding-at-fox-chapel-golf-club/.
Serious about your budget? The two absolute best ways to save wedding dollars and still have the wedding of your dreams are 1) schedule your wedding on a day other than a Saturday and/or during the local wedding "off-season" (that would be winter in the northeastern USA), and 2) lovingly but firmly limit the total number of guests. No one said it would be easy. But it can be done!

I would like to go from VB4 to XF but I've obviously, a few questions
1 - Since here there's not a Blog what happens to all the blog entries? Do you plan to have a blog in XF?
2 - I've some mod installed but nothing vital. One of them is vital though, and it's the calendar. We use tha calendar to fix some events and I've installed a mod so that the users can subscribe to these events. This mod is, as said, vital, so I would need the calendar and the possibility for the members to subscribe.
Can you tell me something about these issues?

Publisher's Description▼▲
In this four-session video-based small group Bible study, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas will help you discover the major themes of Dietrich Bonhoeffers writing and speaking and how he not only helped transform an entire faith community in Germany during World War II, but how his beliefs continue to impact the Christian faith of people throughout the world today.
Filmed on location in Germany, Metaxas will take you on a religious journey of Bonhoeffers faith and why it has captured so many peoples imaginations and how it has inspired the Christian faith of so many today. Pulling themes from all of his major books, Metaxas helps us understand why these spiritual truths meant so much to Bonhoeffer and how they can be an inspiration and challenge to our faith.
This companion study guide will lead you and your group deeper into the video content (sold separately) with session-by-session discussion topics, personal reflection, and between-session studies to enhance the group experience.
Sessions include:
- What is the Church?
- Living in Christian Community
- Religionless Christianity
- Come and Die
Each pack contains one softcover study guide and one DVD.

Deb T5 Stars Out Of 5A powerful, compelling studyApril 7, 2014Deb TMeets Expectations: 5I was not expecting to be so impacted by this study. Bonhoeffer's writing is remarkable-- insightful, honest, inspiring and convicting. The DVD segments (approx. 20 min. each) are well-done, combining period footage and photographs of Nazi Germany, an actor's voice reading excerpts from Bonhoeffer's writing, and modern footage of significant locations in Germany with author Eric Metaxis telling the story of Bonhoeffer's journey of faith.
Since the sessions are designed for a 90 minute time slot, I edited the suggested list of discussion questions and activities to fit our 1 hour meeting time. The content has yielded good, thoughtful discussion. Few in our group already knew Bonhoeffer's story, so I chose not to explain in advance that he was martyred, so there has been an element of suspense as we have followed Bonhoeffer's story.
We have one DVD segment left, and then may take an extra session to complete some activities we haven't had time for in our regular sessions to go deeper and actually practice some of what we've discussed.
Our group has used several different DVD study series over the past few years, but God has used this to engage people like none that we have used before. I'll be sorry for this series to end.

Your Mazda dealership isn't the only place to buy the best replacement parts for your B1800. Make no mistake, you bought your B1800 because you wanted to buy Japanese engineering and youthfulness both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. When your Mazda B1800 was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values economical pricing in their automobile. It's not all the time that you find yourself in need of a replacement Catalytic Converter for your vehicle.
Achieving maximum fuel efficiency while reducing emissions on your car or truck depends on how well you maintain your engine and exhaust parts. Your Mazda B1800 catalytic converter has been installed thanks to a federal mandate that is decades old. Inside every catalytic converter are cells made from platinum and/or rhodium arranged in a honeycomb pattern that change the harmful emissions of your Mazda B1800 from carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water. Thanks to this chemical reaction, automakers could now curb their contribution to air pollution, which is why every vehicle made today has a catalytic converter.
Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. When your Mazda requires a top quality replacement Catalytic Converter, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Mazda B1800 Catalytic Converter for your 1978, 1977 model.
