Get ready for one apocalyptic detention. These misfits are going to save the world!
Meet Rev, Billie, the Ape, Johnson, GG, Carrie, the Moth and Lucas, a motley crew of bickering teens who find themselves totally alone in the world after a strange power surge hits their classroom during detention. With no answers as to why or how the rest of the world has disappeared, the mismatched group is soon facing a bigger nightmare than they could ever imagine… Standing between them and the only way home are lethal duplicate versions of themselves, super powered teenagers who will kill anyone who gets in their way. Our unlikely heroes must somehow work together to save themselves… or they'll never see home again.
Shift is the first in a fast-paced, page turner of a series, filled with action, adventure and humour. Perfect for fans of Michael Grant, Charlie Higson and Antony Horowitz and for anyone who loves Misfits or Shaun of the Dead.
I love, love, loved Shift. I took me by complete surprise and had lots of great little qualities that I really enjoyed!
There is a lot of dialogue in Shift, which is actually one of it's big positives. With 8 teens guiding the storyline, it was important that each had their own voice and you could tell them apart. Every character rocked in the individuality department and could very easily be picked out from the crowd. They are truly the biggest bunch of misfits and I found something I loved in each one.
My favourite character has to be the Ape! OMG, he is a frustrating knuckle head! He's slow on the uptake and is just a big…ape! But, you can see little hints of something deeper in him and I think he just wants to fit in. He is also fierce and will protect his group at all costs. There was a heartbreaking moment for me in the book and it was because of him.
The storyline itself is one that has been worked and reworked quite a bit, but Jeff Povey makes it his own. The characters, emotion, danger, mystery and laugh-out-loud funny moments sets it apart from the crowd. I loved seeing our bunch of unlikely hero's battle for survival after what looks like a power surge hits their detention class. They end up being the only ones left in what looks like the world…until they stumble upon their other selves that is!
The pacing is very fast and I just flew along for the ride, flipping those pages like a maniac – anyone who reads it will be compelled to do so.
Shift is one hell of a memorable first book from Jeff Povey, who I think writes fantastically. The cast of stand out characters make Shift the big winning read that it is. I really can't wait to go on the next action filled adventure…I miss my Ape already! Just wait till you guys meet him…..
4.5 / 5 Stars
Outrageously camp aren't usually the words you'd use to describe a fictional hero. I think, and this is only surmising, that there probably aren't that many bona fide never-say-die heroes who paint their nails yellow and worry about their look like GG does.
I have many gay and lesbian friends and I looked to them for inspiration for this character. I found that for the most part they have all reached a stage in their lives where they have been through the angst that their sexuality has either inhibited them with or brought to their door in the shape of non-acceptance. They have come out of the other side of that and walked as tall as anyone. I think those initial struggles will always be a part of who they are but because I haven't lived through that I didn't honestly know how to write a character who was in the midst of that struggle, at least one that would be convincing. I was hoping that GG had accelerated through any dark crisis he may have faced and what we are seeing now is his total delight in just being himself.
GG stands for Gay Gay, and it's a direct reflection of his happy contented self and his sexuality. For me he is the character with the funniest lines and the most positive disposition and he is vital in keeping these books fresh and funny.
In a world of potential doom and death he reveals that for all his campness GG is no Fairy Queen fluttering and flapping on the sidelines, he gets stuck in with the best of them. His dad's a train driver and has taught GG (illegally) how to drive a train which is a skill that saves the gang. I'm not trying to idealise or skate over homosexuality for the sake of presenting a happy clappy gay character, I just felt that GG was so alive and so wonderful that I couldn't and wouldn't bring him down.
I'm also not saying for a minute that GG's homosexuality is a walk in the park for him. The Ape is uncouth towards him and his stream of one liners don't always hit the mark, but GG has the ability to rise above everything, and it is this ability that forms the true heart of his character. He is a survivor and a fighter and when the chips are down you'll be glad he's not only there to keep your spirits high but he can also advise you on your wardrobe. He's also the best BFF you
could ever wish for. He has a soft spot for the Ape and deep down in the Ape's burly psyche you'd probably find that he is touched by that. Not that he would ever admit to such a thing. "No homo" would be the Ape's response.
I obviously love all of the characters but I think GG is the one who made me realise that you can mix heart-stopping danger with humour. It comes from a naturally amusing boy and here are a few of his funnier moments:
"Stop the train GG."
"I'm not stopping for that thing. It hasn't bought a ticket."
"They can use phones?" Billie says.
"With those talons? That's touchscreen hell."
GG sits up in the giant bath. "Jump in. There's room for a football team. With any luck."
"I think our original world gave birth to this one." "Who's the father?" GG asks.
To sum GG up, I'd say the books wouldn't be half as much fun without him. I hope you love him as much as I do.

I would surely have fallen, if not for my aunt's hands:
However, frightened that he was losing time, the reanimator opened his mouth to the girl and, typing full lungs of air, pressing his mouth to her icy lips, exhaled with a force. Her breasts rose upward. The broker folded his hands under his left nipple, and carefully, not to break his chest, pressed four times. Then he again clung to her mouth.
Etim letom ya ot shkoly poyekhala otdykhat' v Odessu. Gruppa sostoyala iz 20 chelovek. Kak i vo vsekh lageryakh, vsyudu khodili stroyem. Na ves' otryad bylo 6 patsanov, kotorym bylo po 14 let. No ikh libo priroda krasotoy obdelila, libo papa s mamoy ne staralis'. Tak chto mysl' potselovat'sya s kem-to iz nikh byla otvratitel'na. A pro seks i dumat' ne khotelos'. Nedavno ya zametila, chto mne nachali nravit'sya devchonki. Mne nravilos' rassmatrivat' ikh grud', figuru. V etom lagere ya podruzhilas' s privlekatel'noy devchonkoy. Yeye zvali Sveta. Yey bylo 16 let. I posle lagerya my poyekhali k ney v selo. S etogo i nachinayetsya vsya intimnaya istoriya. Poskol'ku krovatey v dome bylo malo, nas ulozhili na odin divan. Pervuyu noch' my vsyu progovorili. Zato vo 2 noch', ot razgovorov pro patsanov i lesbiyanok ya nastol'ko vozbudilas', chto zalezla na Svetu i nachala lezt' k ney tselovat'sya. Vnachale ona mne skazala, chto my mozhem potselovat'sya s ney vzasos, no bez yazyka. Kogda nashi guby soprikosnulis', ya ostorozhno pronikla svoim yazykom v yeye usta, nezhnymi dvizheniyami ya nachala yeye vozbuzhdat'. Ona perestala soprotivlyat'sya, a tol'ko izdavala zvuki, ochen' pokhozhiye na murlykan'ye. Eti chuvstva dlya menya khot' i byli privychnymi, no i neobyknovennymi. My tselovalis' vsyu noch' i byli schastlivy.
When her kisses and caresses a little calmed him, she spread her hips and told him to lie between them. He complied, pleased that he had a mentor. They were enveloped in the thick smell of her musk.
"Then that's what ..." Slowly, and still doubting the correctness of her deed, Svetlana said, "I deceived you."

But Cynthia's thin arms swept over my neck, pulled at myself. I got up. Cynthia opened her mouth with her lips and dug into her tongue. Our kiss was at first unilateral, I was very embarrassed, but then the wet mouth of my friend, who fell to me, began to like me. I began to quietly vibrate. Cynthia's tongue snapped in my mouth, examining the most secret places. He spun that with frenzied energy, then slowed down, gently touching my palate, the inside of my cheeks. Our saliva mixed, especially since it was released in large quantities at both points. Gradually, I lost all sense of what was happening. I could hear the noise of footsteps around the rug on which we stood, voices were heard, but in fact I forgot about everything. In the eyes that I previously screwed up, the flashes of an incipient passion flashed. Cynthia's hand went down my hip and groped for the vagina. Her fingers softly parted my outer labia and penetrated inside. From that moment on, I was doomed. Completely giving myself to unusual feelings for me, I forgot that there is a game, a fight, that I should try to excite Cynthia herself. My vagina quickly began to get wet, the hand of her friend again in it quickly and methodically. The second hand Cynthia caressed, or rather, fingered the nipple of my right breast, which made me moan and cry out softly. A minute later I bent on the rug in an arc, making a "bridge" and stormily finished.
The next morning, or rather the day, because I woke up at 2 o'clock, I reached for Svetlana, but she turned sharply aside.
"Very nice, Irina," I answered without looking at her, and did not respond to the handshake. Natasha was not offended. I glanced at her from the corner of my eye. She turned the glass in her hands and watched the champagne flowing in it. On her maiden face played the easiest smile, and a thin little snub-nosed nose even more emphasized the impression of the guilty fifth-grader. With nothing to do, I turned around and saw Marinka standing in the doorway. She smiled enigmatically, nodded at the "fifth grader," and left. Ah well! So this is Marinka I slipped it! Is the girl rosy? This is the anniversary of the channel! Okay, dear girlfriend, play, so play! It seems that tonight has begun to make sense ...
"Yes, but your position, it does not allow you ..." she covered my mouth with hers, just as I did a few hours ago
- It's boring here, right? She asked, "Natasha's name is me." She held out her hand for a shake.

∆░Indian State Andhra Pradesh░∆
Andhra Pradesh is the third largest state in India with an area of 275,000 sq. km. A state in the southern region of India, Andhra Pradesh is bordered on the south by Tamil Nadu, on the west by Karnataka, on the north and northwest by Maharashtra, on the northeast by Madhya Pradesh and Orissa, and on the east by the Bay of Bengal.
The northern area of Andhra Pradesh is mountainous. The highest peak Mahendragiri rises 1500 m above the sea level. The climate is generally hot and humid. Annual rainfall: 125 cm. The Krishna and Godavari are the major rivers in the state. Andhra Pradesh has a single-chamber Legislative Assembly of 295 seats. The state sends 60 members to the Indian national parliament: 18 to the Rajya Sabha (upper house) and 42 to the Lok Sabha (lower house). It has 23 local government administrative districts.
Centuries ago, Andhra Pradesh was a major Buddhist centre and part of Emperor Ashoka's sprawling kingdom. Not surprisingly, traces of early Buddhist influence are still visible in several places in and around the state. After the death of Emperor Ashoka, the Satavahanas established their kingdom in this region. During the 7th century, the Chalukyas held sway over Andhra Pradesh until the 10th century, when the Cholas seized power. In the 14th century, Muslim power reached this southern state and for centuries ruled over this princely state and finally was taken over by a General of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1713.

From the IB
The focus of this perspective is the interaction between the physiological and psychological factors that contribute to behaviour. Changes in behaviour can arise from an interaction of dispositional and environmental factors. Research has frequently, but not exclusively, used the experimental method. Key issues that are relevant to the biological perspective include criticisms that it often involves a reductionist approach and that behaviour exhibited by non-human animals is not always relevant to humans. In this unit students will evaluate the relevance of this perspective to modern psychology.
Objectives of the Unit:
• Describe and evaluate the cultural context and development, the conceptual framework, the methodology, and the application of the biomedical model.
• Describe and evaluate theories and empirical studies within this perspective.
• Explain how cultural, ethical, gender, and methodological considerations affect the interpretation of behaviour from a biological perspective.
• Compare theories, empirical studies and the conceptual framework of this model with the other perspectives.
• Identify and explain the strengths and limitations of biological explanations of behaviour.
• Explain the extent to which free will and determinism are integral in this perspective.
• Explain and evaluate claims that correlates exist between physiological and psychological behaviour.
• Discuss controversies surrounding a reductionist approach, as adopted by many biological psychologists

Through intelligent camera work and interesting if occasionally simple effects, Mark Duffield's gothic fantasy Demon belies its low budget status to generate more chills and intrigue than the majority of mainstream horror films. A persistent, uncomfortable tone set against growing unease that something sinister is about to happen engages the viewer, but sadly the film ultimately fails to carry its unsettling premise through to a finale that is slightly disappointing.
Visiting London to attend a clinic that specialises in blood disorders, Lorcan (Andrew Mullan) falls in love with attentive nurse Amy (Clare Langford). As his affliction becomes increasingly dominant, resulting in a transformation into the titular Demon, he struggles with his feelings for Amy while attempting to supress his bloodthirsty nature.
There are hints throughout Demon as to what the film could have been with a little more investment. It's clear that Duffield has done everything he possibly can with what he had, and the film never feels cheap or guilty of poor production values, but there is a sense that it could have been so much more. Inventive camera work hides the modern day paraphernalia of London, allowing a believable Victorian setting to be realised. The limited yet creatively creepy indoor sets confirm that considerable thought and planning took place in order to maximise the available resources. Where Demon is weak is in some of the scenes of exposition, when characters are prone to explain everything relevant in order to advance the stumbling narrative. When that narrative becomes even more stifled in the second half, these dialogue-heavy exchanges slow the film down to a weary, plodding pace and diminish much of the previous strong work.
According to the IMDb, writer, producer, cinematographer and director Duffield has no credits to his name following 2012's Demon, and this is a shame. Taking the film as a whole, he has captured the gothic style so reminiscent of the atmosphere evident in many of Hammer Studios films, with a soundtrack clearly influenced by that period. The story slips into melodrama a little too easily towards the end, and the film feels very much like an elongated short, but it is interesting enough to warrant seeking out. The love story at the centre of Demon may not carry much dramatic depth, and draws comparison with Coppola's love-struck Dracula, but this is a decent film. Keep your expectations reasonable and Demon may even surprise.

2009 Subaru Forester
gopher13 Posts: 3Is the AWD of a Forester really all that great? I live in Denver have a Liberty 4x4 and make frequent trips into the mountains skiing and hiking. My lease is up in the next couple weeks and I'm sick of driving my gas guzzling Jeep. I really don't do any serious off-roading, just the occasional washed out logging trail or horrible rocky gravel road, and the treacherous interstate I-70 to go skiing. I'm intrigued by the redesigned Forester, but unsure whether its AWD system can really handle plowing through 12-18in of snow or scaling an ice snow covered mountain road. I've been spoiled by the Jeep, but I'm ready to move up to something more efficient.
I'm recently married and my wife has driven Outbacks for 10 years and we just got her a new 08. She swears by it, but she never leaves the paved roads of the city in her car.
I'm just having a tough time deciding whether I can move on to a Forester or not.
They have about 9" of clearance, about the best you'll find in a compact crossover.
Let's be realistic, though, in 18" of snow any vehicle could high center and get stuck. If it's 18" packed, at least.
This video shows a lot of promise, if you think 9" of clearance is enough for you:
Long term quality control was not professionally performed and this is a serious punch to the prestige of Subaru America
No it's not. In the same way I would buy a Honda after the tranny issues and a Toyota (and have) after the sludge issues, and an Explorer after the ignition fire issues, etc.
In the scheme of things this means zippo. That does not mean I wouldn't be upset if I had the issue, but I have confidence Subaru will do the right thing.
You are right. And Subaru Forester is still best in class and that is what I would buy. The total package is above average. Yeah some manufacturers may do some things better, but none have the better total package.
The CR-V is the segment leader in every condition except deep snow. Clearly the interior is more refined than the Forester Prem. However, the XT will leave the CR-V in the dust and the Foresters drivetrain is superior. So while the CR-V does somethings better than the Forester, the two things the Forester does better is why I bought the vehicle.
saedave Chicago, ILPosts: 694The CR-V is the segment leader in every condition except deep snow. Clearly the interior is more refined than the Forester Prem.
But the exterior looks like the front was crashed before delivery and the rear vision is terrible. I have friends who just bought a Forester because of those shortcomings of the CRV.
kurtamaxxxguy Posts: 1,798Sadly, at this point my '09 Forester dash, upper roof console, and dash trim are now merrilly chirping away over virtually every small bump I go over.
Not encouraging.
Drive before you buy and listen carefully. If it chirps, beware. :surprise: It will get worse.
I was initially a little disappointed when I heard about the end of the LL Bean partnership, but then I thought about not having the logo stuck everywhere and I think I'd actually be happier in an "X Limited" I don't need "LL Bean" embossed on the seats & floormats, and with the "PZEV" low-emissions emblem added to the rear hatch (in some states, incl. mine), it was looking a little cluttered w/the LL Bean logo added as well. As long as the content stays as good, I'm fine w/out the brand caché.
"The CR-V is the segment leader in every condition except deep snow."
Comparing a Premium w/an EX:
Forester has more horsepower, more torque, lower emissions, equal fuel economy, 40-mile-greater range, an inch-and-a-half more ground clearance, nearly 1,000 lbs more towing capacity, more headroom (front & rear), 1.3" more total legroom (1.8" more in front, 1/2" less rear) and a $400 lower invoice.
CRV has 2 c.f. greater cargo capacity.
Hey mods, Edmunds says the 2009 Forester has 8 consumer reviews and an overall rating of 8.6, but if you view the reviews, there are not 8 but 3, and the scores are 8.9, 9.5 and 10. That's a 9.5 average. What gives? :confuse:
With all the major automobile manufacturers involved in some sort of Hybrid Tech. Wondering if Subaru is involved any sort of research in this system?
chelentano is in charge of calculating the Forester's average score.
I wouldn't mind having a PZEV logo on the back on mine, not at all. In a way I wish MD was a PZEV state. I'd get that model and then enjoy a 150,000 mile warranty on all emissions related items.
Plus it's just cool to be green. :shades:
They just launched a diesel boxer in Europe, so we'll probably get that before we see a hybrid.
Toyota just upped their share of ownership of FHI, so they may want to hedge their bets a bit. Pushing HSD on Toyotas while offering diesels on Subarus allows them to spread the risk a bit.
I bet we'll see a 2010 Outback diesel in the USA.
I don't think diesel engines are a bargain $ 4.21 gallon. Do they get that much better MPG?
samiam_68 Posts: 775It would be a bargain if Subaru builds a diesel hybrid :surprise:
I hear you, in fact I've been complaining about diesel prices. I saw diesel at one station for 90 cents more than gas.
The response from most people is that this is a seasonal effect due to demand for heating oil that should cool off (pardon the pun).
I certainly hope so. That extra cost would offset any efficiency gains, for the most part.
I've currently placed a pre-order for a 09 Forester X, M/T with Touring Package. Wooo, wooo!. I'm based on Toronto, Canada. Dealer indicated they are expecting to receive their first shipment week after next. Very excited. Also, it's my first Subaru. I've done a lot of research at it seems like the right vehicle for us.

There are the other 5 reviews, they are linked on the editors review page.
Is there such an animal? It sounds very intriguing..
You bought in Canada? Do you have any information about pricing for the 2009 canadian forester? Dealers around here say they have no info at all.
In any case, I was under the impression that it would be cheaper to buy in the US...
All right, so it says there are 8 total consumer reviews, but...
3 consumer reviews are shown at the "2009 Subaru Forester Consumer Reviews" page and 5 consumer reviews are shown on the "2009 Subaru Forester Editors' Review". There is no editors' review on the Editors' Review page. Somebody needs to do a bit of re-organizing. :P
Thanks for solving the mystery for me, caliberchic.
The U.S. dollars has tanked.I do think the Canadian dollar is rated a little higher,and the Euro much higher. It will take many more U.S. $$$ to buy a Canadian Subie. Plus the fact you will have to pay a tax to bring it here.(I think!)
Sorry I was not clear. I am in Canada, as I assumed skeleton is. In Qc, the 2009 Forester in not out yet. But I was planning on buying in the US, as last model was priced about 8000 more here. I was hoping to get 2009 pricing info from Canada before I confirm my decision.
Sorry, my mistake. Better go have my 2nd. cup of coffee.(ay)Would be curious to know your pricing,as opposed to ours.. There is probably the same type of tax for you buying here,and taking it back home.?
We'll see about pricing. For the 2008, the difference for the LL Bean equivalent (not identical) was about 8,000. Destination is about 700 more here, so total difference is 8,700. Now taxes for fed and provincial amount to 12.5%, vs 0-6% in most states. In short, total difference is price is near 10,000. We are really being gouged!
Good points about buying in the US for us is that we are not paying state tax if we import directly and warranty is convered. Bad point is you have to pay cash, no financing possible.
All thing considered, I will probably save 7,000-8,000 if I buy in the US.
I've not officially "purchased" but have put some money down to reserve one (in case Subaru decides to get aggressive on prices and they become harder to get).
Dealer mentioned that he expects them to be about $1500 less than last years which would make sense given the price drop in the US. I'm hoping Subaru Canada decides to stop playing the rebate/low-interest incentive games with the new Forester model given that it's pretty much an entirely new model and can get away with being more aggressive in their prices, i.e. drop the list price by $3K-$5K. (I wouldn't be surprised if they did this. With the conflict in the oil-rich countries not ending any time soon, oil prices will stay high and the strength of the Canadian dollar will be strong for the foreseeable future.) If they do decide to significantly lower their prices, I would expect them to not last too long at the dealers. With the crazy amount of snow we've had this winter, Subie's should have solid spring sales numbers.
Subaru is offering 1.9% financing but it's not going to make up the 7000-8000 difference. They should lower their prices by about $5K in my opinion and still offer the 1.9% financing to really discourage Canadians from buying from the US.
Btw, there are brokers out there now that will do all the paperwork for you for a nominal fee. Subaru better start doing something otherwise it'll become a real big problem. (Basically, they need to figure out away to charge us less money on new units without eroding the residual values of the units they have out on lease.)
I agree that 5K less and 1.9% financing would be acceptable, but I don't set my hopes up.
Some US dealerships are doing the paperwork for 'free'. I got a quote 1000 under US MSRP including paperwork for a LL Bean. (which is PZEV, a big selling point for me, not offered in Canada)
I guess I'll encourage US economy until Cad car manufacturer's stop gouging us!
tntmyth Posts: 70I read somebody's post here that at higher speeds, the 2009 Subaru Forester really runs at 90/10 split AWD with FWD bias? Except for in 1st or 2nd gear which is 50/50? Wouldn't that make the AWD less effective in rain and snow at higher speeds? It seems that AWD would be more effective if it ran at 60/40 or 50/50 all the time, but I am not an engineer.
Is the 2008 Forester AWD configured the same?
How does the Subaru AWD compare with other AWD systems like Audi Quattro?
Eventually something's gotta give and at this rate anyone who's purchased a vehicle in 2007 or 2008 will be left making up the difference as those vehicles' current market value will be affected.
So I'm watching this very carefully and will cancel my order if Subaru Canada doesn't do something with the new Foresters.

After a woman married the man who had allegedly raped her, the Bombay High Court on Tuesday quashed the rape complaint the woman had earlier filed. HT Correspondent reports.mumbai Updated: Jan 20, 2010 01:05 IST
After a woman married the man who had allegedly raped her, the Bombay High Court on Tuesday quashed the rape complaint the woman had earlier filed.
Reena (name changed), a former constable, had filed a first information report (FIR) in Solapur on June 6, 2008, alleging that Suyog alias Bunty Rathod had raped her repeatedly over few years. Last time he raped her was on May 5, 2008, she had alleged.
On Tuesday, however, Reena's lawyer V Purvant informed the court that the two are married and Reena is pregnant.
Justice S.C. Dharmadhikari quashed Reena's complaint observing that there was no logic in continuing the case. "The complaint is quashed without setting precedent for any other case," Justice Dharmadhikari said.
Reena had in 2009 written to the commissioner of police stating that she did not wish to pursue the case.
She also filed an affidavit in the high court, stating that she and Rathod were in love.
Her affidavit stated that she filed an FIR against Rathod due to a misunderstanding and that they had decided to get married. She pleaded that the complaint should be quashed.
Women's rights lawyer Veena Gowda said cases of victims marrying the rapists were "disturbing".
"There is a notion in society that sexual encounters, be it forced or voluntary, can be resolved only by the institution of marriage," said Gowda.
"A girl can't come out and say she is in physical relationship with a man. Equally, she cannot say she is raped. And marriage is seen as the only solution, which is questionable."

In this edition of StrateGEMS, Rich contrasts religious behavior modification, the breakdown of morality and the abundant life found in Christ.
John 10:10 (Message Bible) – "A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of."
There is a big difference between religion and the Kingdom of God. By and large, religion is nothing more than man's feeble attempt to connect with God through a prescribed set of rules and ordinances. The basic premise is that God is Holy and good, but man's behavior is bad. Man must therefore change his behavior if he is to gain access to God. Religion becomes a means of controlling bad behavior, or at least behavior that is deemed to be bad by those who write the rules.
There are a couple of problems with this idea. First is the notion that man is willing to have his behavior controlled in order to appease God. It seems like it's easier and much more fun to merely deny that God exists and keep on living my life as I please. Second, we see that man is pretty creative when it comes to making up rules for other people to follow, but not so good at following them himself. All we have to do is look at Washington DC as exhibit A.
Yet, it is true that man has a behavior problem. We are naturally prone to do things that hurt others and ourselves. In the heat of anger or passion, I'd guess that most all of us have the capacity to destroy a life.
So, we are left with a problem. For any society to be healthy, bad behavior must be controlled, and this is why we have laws. However, the question is, who decides what is lawful and unlawful? Whose sets the standards of right and wrong? Are these decisions based on popular opinion or are there moral absolutes?
Not many years ago in this country, we had a commonly accepted standard of morality. Marriage was defined as one man and one woman who pledged to be faithful to one another. It was wrong for one person to take another person's stuff. Your word was your bond, and when you made a promise to someone, you kept it because lying and cheating were universally frowned upon. This is the code of moral conduct that we find in the Bible.
Today there is a move in the court system to re-define marriage to include two people of the same sex. Over the past couple of years, financial institutions have robbed people of billions of dollars, but nobody is going to jail. Lying and cheating happen every single day at the highest levels of government because apparently it's just part of what it takes to get elected and stay in power so they can continue to advance their personal agendas.
Truth is, everybody wants to be happy and enjoy a life filled with peace and joy, and this is what God wants for our lives as well. Since He created us, he knows what brings us the most joy. And He blessed us with His Word, which is filled with wisdom on how to live a joy-filled life.
God's standards of morality were not given to us for any other reason but to bring life to a world that is overflowing with death and corruption. Prov. 19:7 says, "The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul." This isn't speaking about some kind of dead religious activity. It's about honoring one another, not living selfishly, but looking out for one another. It's about loving God and loving others in the same way we want and need to be loved.
We hope you'll join us again next time, right here on StrateGEMS.

I have a G2 250HO and need to remove my propeller in order to get to some fishing line which got wrapped behind the prop. I tried a 1 1/16 and found that to be to small. I dont have any other sockets so I need to buy one, I just want to make sure I get the correct size. I tried looking it up online but couldn't find anything and the manuel doesn't give the nut size . Thanks in advance for the help.
07-27-2016 08:48
The prop nut for a G2 is the same size that has been in use on the V6 Evinrudes for years. It also uses the same cotter pin and stainless steel retainer. It is 1-1/16"

Advice needed:((12 Posts)
Never thought I'd be writing something like this , never thought I'd be in this position but here we go! Can't talk to family and friends but just want some opinions so low and confused and scared about everything but I'm not sure if I'm overreacting.
My boyfriend has an anger problem I've not been aware of until recently, he works longish hours although some weeks he only works a few days because of the amount of hours the previous week. Anyway. He cannot deal with tiredness and for months now has left me feeling so low even before our baby was born. I'm doing everything in the house, preparing everything, decorating everything in our new house, I've done it all, he does nothing because he works. So many times he has been borderline violent never hitting me but even when pregnant, he's even recently been kicking off and reacting completely out of order while our son has been in the house. The other day he even slammed and cracked the bathroom door whilst holding our baby, he was asleep and fine but it makes me feel sick to my stomach. He has never punched me and the occasions are few and far between but I keep saying I'm going to leave because I can't live like this I don't deserve this and then something happens again.
He always starts in an argument (usually about how little he helps or even just respects/appreciates me ) and knowing what he's like I just try to get away to cool off but he always blocks door ways etc off so I can't get past him and he's 6 ft 3 so it's intimidating and I'm trying to push past him and can't and get panicky and that's when he starts grabbing me back or pulling me or even sort of hitting me because he's saying I'm doing it first but I'm just trying to get away and he's not letting me and being in my face. Anyway I forgive and forgive although j say forgive he's never showed any emotion he's never begged me to stay or said he understands why I feel the way I do he just comes home and ignores the situation and in the end I move on too because it's easier to be stuck in the house with him then. He's mean. He's lazy, whenever we argue he just starts acting like he doesn't care or even says horrible things to me as the mother of his baby it breaks my heart. He says a few days or weeks later whenever it is that he only says things in an argument to 'hurt me' like that's ok ...but I would never do that to him or anyone I cared about or even somwone I didn't ?
Tonight he once again left me doing everything round the house after a nice day together, I'm just clearing all the shit he's left and tidying and finishing the jobs he's started in between looking after and bathing our baby and feeding our kitten. I got angry once again tonight while I was doing everything and he was just sat in the living room on his phone and then he started saying why am I stomping around why am I not talking etc etc, all I was doing was all the housework he left me to do, it's almost like he probes me because he knows he's wrong , I dunno. So I said to him how I find it a bit upsetting or hurtful that in running round doing everything mainly the shit he's left while he just sits there looking at things on his phone, and that was it he started on me saying how i just 'go on' all the time and that he's not going to do anything at all any more. I came upstairs out of his way and he came storming about and took the phone charger from me and went to the other bedroom to sleep, I went to get the charger off him since he has his own in there anyway and he threw it at me so hard that I have 3 marks on my arm from the plug. From this I started shouting and getting upset because only the other day he was saying how he'd seen the light and realised what he was going to lose and how things are going to be different from now on and less than a week later he's acting this way, he didn't say sorry I thought him doing that would have made him then snap out of it and realise and beg for forgiveness or something but he couldn't care less, he could see I was in physical pain and just said 'I didn't mean to' but didn't say sorry. He then went to bed and just the fact after being the way he is he can just go to bed and sleep after hurting me just makes me sick that he's not cut up or making the effort. He's just acting like he doesn't care. I have started to pack up my things because I think I need to go home to my parents or something with my baby and even the cat as I don't want to leave her here, but even that couldn't spark a reaction from him he's just started ripping light bulbs out and they're breaking in his hand, he's saying I'm inconsiderate for having lights on when I'm packing my things because he has work in the morning, and now he's just gone to bed and couldn't care less. Is this abuse? I know to some it might seem a dumb question but he just says I'm sensitive or I'm always going on or whatever, all he's said tonight is that I've caused all this but I don't think I have. He's told me if I leave tomorrow I will never see him again Because he's going to kill himself apparently. I said he's just trying to scare me but he said he's been thinking about it for a while because his life is so shit. Now I'm laid here crying worried about everything including my baby and thinking how can he say his life's shit when it's me dealing with all this on my own, it's me away from my family and friends and basically living a life (if you could call it that) being his scivvy because he doesn't respect me or the house, and bringing up our son basically alone because he's selfish and never ever deals with him unless we're getting on really well again and he has a few days off, in which case hell feed him a few times, but other than that I'm completely alone.
Am I being dramatic as he's making out? The way he's so aggressive and nasty and then cold and doesn't even care at the thought of losing us makes me think not but I just need advice I never want to tell anyone this stuff because I always believe when he says he'll change and I therefore never want everyone's opinions of him to have changed and my life be even more tense with everyone I love being aware of how I feel or how things sometimes can be at home. Someone help please I'm so gutted its come to this again because I believed his lies like always and forgave him like always, but then the way he makes me feel saying I cause everything makes me wonder if I am just I dunno sensitive or inconsiderate?
To add, he's not been at work today or yesterday so it's not like I started nagging him once he got home from a long day or something,
Please don't blame yourself for this. He clearly has problems that pre-date his meeting you.
Do you think you're safe tonight? If you don't, you can call the police and ask them to remove him.
Don't worry about him saying he'll kill himself - it's something that's said to keep partners in line. He won't do anything - he'd rather take it out on someone else.
Do you think you could put the light out and get into bed with your baby in the room with you? Put your phone under your pillow. Is he in another room?
Hey Yeah I'm in the spare room with him my boyfriend is upstairs I'm very certain that I'm safe I know he won't come down to go near me he has his little blow outs and then just goes to sleep because that's all he cares about , i won't hear a peep from him tonight now, won't hear anything until tomorrow night if he comes back or if I'm still here should I say
You are in an abusive relationship. Please phone Women's Aid when away from your house and garden for information and practical support 0808 2000 247, available round the clock. They are quieter at this time of day.
You need to break free from this awful situation and protect your DC. There is someone out there who will respect and value you, unlike this excuse for a man. Keep strong and keep posting - there is support here for you on Mumsnet if you want it.
Just read your full post. He assaulted you, throwing the charger. Please report it to the police on 101 tomorrow during office hours and ask to speak to the domestic violence team. Or if you feel in immediate danger, including intimidation, don't hesitate to phone 999.
Please stop making excuses for your boyfriend. He has an anger problem because he can, because no-one has ever told him it's not ok. He can control it if he wants, I don't imagine he gets angry with other people, just you. It's because he chooses to treat you this way.
Make no mistake, his aggression will escalate into violence. I am shocked he slammed the bathroom door so hard it cracked - while holding your baby. This behaviour will PERMANENTLY affect your baby's brain development causing him to feel stressed and anxious all his life.
Trust your gut feeling. You are right, you and your baby are at high risk of harm. When BF is not around make that phone call as soon as you can. There is lots of support out there. Start with the police and Women's Aid, they will signpost you to people who can help you. Or tell your health visitor or GP.
It's not your fault and you are not over-sensitive.
He won't kill himself. They always say that.
Phone 101 for the police now if you are worried about trouble kicking off when you try to leave tomorrow. The time around leaving is statistically very risky for women in dangerous relationships.
Women's Aid can also advise on how to get out safely.
Oh, Jess. I feel for you. You're right. You're in a crap relationship with a man who bullies you and is borderline violent. He hasn't punched you. Yet. Would you bet any money that he never will? Because I wouldn't. You're describing a man with big anger issues.
The business with your baby is very worrying. A big bloke can kill or injure a baby very easily indeed, and if there's shoving going on, anything could happen.
I think going home to your parents with the baby and the kitten is the best thing you can do. Sort it out quietly - don't have a row with him, just basically sneak off while he's out or asleep. Then just go. Good luck.
People who really want to kill themselves are much more likely to attempt it without telling anyone, than to go round telling people they want to do it.
People who tell their partners they want to kill themselves to make you stay with them are just trying to manipulate you.
I agree with the previous posters here. He more than likely will NOT kill himself and is very likely using it as a means of getting you to stay. But, the real and main question to ask yourself here is: Do you feel safe around him? Do you feel safe having him around your children? If you answer no right away, then you need to get away immediately. If not permanently, at least for the mean time.
You and your children's safety and health are #1 priority here. If you have even the slightest bit of fear, you need to do EVERYTHING in YOUR power to protect you and your children. Please have someone their to support you. Whether that be a close friend, close-trusted relative, coworker, or even law enforcement...Do not do it alone.
I also highly recommend looking into getting some counseling here as you do not want this type of dysfunction to pass down to your children as they will eventually see it for themselves.
I'm sorry you're going through this, but please know that you and your children deserve much better. Your boyfriend may need to seek some serious help if he truly loves you, but do not stay in the relationship just because he's the father. At times, especially in cases where there's this type of violent anger involved, risking safety is not worth it.
Keeping you in my thoughts and be brave! Stand up and get the support you need to get through this.
I also think you should leave quietly. Don't pack in front of him. No arguing. I wouldn't trust him. That smashing the light bulbs is very odd and worrying behaviour coupled with him pushing you around. Protect your baby and go.

Estate Planning And Probate Law Lawyers In Shasta California
What is estate planning and probate law?
Estate planning is the process of anticipating and arranging for the disposal of an estate. Estate planning typically attempts to eliminate uncertainties over the administration of a probate and maximize the value of the estate by reducing taxes and other expenses. Estate planning attorneys advise clients on their options for disposition of real and personal property after death, and create any number of necessary documents pertaining to the estate and finances of the client -- including wills and trusts. Estate planning law attorneys also assist clients in setting out their end-of-life health care wishes through living wills and health care powers of attorney.

Conscious Capitalism: Leaders and Organizations with a World View
Conscious Capitalism: Leaders and Organizations with a World View
Marie Legault
This article focuses on the development of conscious and world-centric leaders and businesses and, ultimately, conscious capitalism. In order for leaders to transform society and organizational cultures, they must first develop their own capabilities. The global context of business now requires leaders to think, feel, and act at world-centric stages of development in order to deal with the complexity of the global economic environment and create opportunities for a sustainable future. Research suggests that only a minority of our organizational leaders has evolved to a world-centric perspective. This raises a critical question: How can leaders develop themselves and their organizations toward a worldcentric perspective? This article seeks to address this question and provides recommendations.
Corporations are probably the most influential institutions in the world today, yet people do not believe that they can be trusted, seeing them as only interested in maximizing profits. The recent protests on Wall Street and in cities around the world attest to this. In fact, investors are losing confidence in the ethics and values of executives, CEOs, and boards of directors. Study results from the Gallup Organization suggest that only Marie Legault 15% of the American public believe that business executives are honest and ethical (Gallup Organization). It is reported that organizations lose an estimated 5% of annual revenues to fraud, which translates into a potential global fraud loss of more than $2.9 trillion per year (Association of Certified Fraud Examiners "2010 Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse"). In addition, occupational frauds, the most costly form of fraud, are most often committed by executives and upper management. Regulations, guidelines, and corporate governance practices have been put in place to restore corporate credibility and public confidence in capital markets (Brooks and Selley). Yet corporate misconduct has often occurred within the system implemented to prevent such misconduct (Association of Certified Fraud Examiners "2008 Report to the Nation on Occupational Fraud & Abuse"; Waldman and Siegel). Ethical behavior is now recognized as indispensable for long-term corporate success and effectiveness and a sustainable global economy. In fact, global CEOs identify integrity as the second most important leadership quality in the new economic environment (IBM).
New Kind of Leadership
The leadership literature offers several definitions of leadership (Rost), although Ciulla argues that leadership definitions are often "theories about how people lead (or how people should lead) and the relationship of leaders and those who are led" (Ciulla 11). A search for the answer to the question "What is leadership?" led Hunt to conclude that one's perspective on leadership depends on one's ontological assumptions (how one chooses to define the phenomenon) and epistemological assumptions (how one forms knowledge about the phenomenon) about the definition and purpose of leadership (J. Hunt, G.).
Most leadership theories provide an outer perspective or focus on a leader's visible actions and behaviors. A limited number of theories feature an inner perspective or focus on a leader's development. Few theories make the link between the inner and outer perspectives, and fewer still consider the impact of a leader's environment on his or her development and behaviors. The development and focus of leadership theory and research has reached the point where it needs to integrate all of the elements that constitute leadership, including "the relevant actors, context (immediate, direct, indirect, etc.), time, history, and how all these interact with each other to create what is eventually labeled leadership" (Avolio 25).
Growing global competitive pressures, uncertain economic times, a questionable ethical climate, and growing environmental issues are challenging leaders at all levels and in all types of organizations. The problems facing organizations today call for a new kind of leadership. Recent leadership literature proposes new leadership approaches to better meet today's global challenges. Here follows a discussion of five of the emergent leadership approaches: advanced leadership, leadership agility, integral leadership, conscious leadership, and ethicful leadership.
Advanced leadership suggests that advanced leaders work in complex systems and are aware of and recognize the multiple stakeholders and their divergent interests and needs. Advanced leaders break mental boundaries and challenge established patterns to effect real change (Moss-Kanter). Leadership agility focuses on a leader's ability to lead effectively under conditions of rapid change, higher levels of complexity, and growing interdependence. Agile leaders are skilled in four mutually reinforcing leadership agility competencies – context-setting agility, stakeholder agility, creative agility, and self-leadership agility (Joiner and Josephs). Integral leadership is an approach that offers a comprehensive framework for taking into account recognized dimensions of the individual and the organization. Integral leaders have the ability to look at complex situations through the various "AQAL lenses" in order to better view and effectively deal with the situation and its challenges (Thomas and Volckmann;
Thomas). Conscious leadership is essential to creating conscious businesses. Conscious leaders are driven primarily by a desire to serve the organization's purpose while file:///C|/clients/Legault%20Marie/Conscious%20Capitalism%20Leaders%20and%20Organizations%20with%20a%20World%20View.htm[3/27/2012 3:45:01 PM] Conscious Capitalism: Leaders and Organizations with a World View simultaneously delivering value to all stakeholders. They view their organizations as part of a complex, interdependent, and evolving system with multiple stakeholders (Sisodia, Wolfe and Seth; Strong). Ethicful leadership suggests that a leader's ethical life is an expression of his or her overall development as a human being, and attaining the full ethical potential of one's life involves living in harmony with the universe as a whole. Ethicful leaders are individuals who have raised their consciousness and integrate inner and outer worlds in all that they do– including establishing ethical cultures – to contribute to the better good of others or all living things (Legault).
Although these theories and approaches explore leadership in its various dimensions, what they have in common is leaders with the capacity to take on different and expanded perspectives. We need leaders who have expanded their perspectives to a world-centric view and who purposefully create value in order to face the uncertainty of our changing world and address global challenges.
Conscious Capitalism
Conscious capitalism is an emerging philosophy based on the belief that businesses can enhance corporate performance while simultaneously improving the quality of life for all stakeholders. Conscious capitalism goes beyond corporate social responsibility by placing societal needs and their challenges at the core of the company's existence (Porter and Kramer). Efforts are driven naturally and internally rather than being reactive, externally prompted attempts to be socially responsible, which may have little to do with the core functions and culture of the organization. Table 1 compares corporate social responsibility principles to conscious business principles.
Conscious capitalism transforms the existing notion about capitalism by changing the either/or paradigm to a both/and mentality by simultaneously creating financial and societal wealth. A study found that investments in companies that adhere to conscious business principles outperformed the market by a 9-to-1 ratio over a ten-year period.
These companies also outperformed the companies described in the book Good to Great (Collins) by a 3-to-1 ratio over a ten-year period. Beyond financial wealth, these companies also create many other kinds of societal wealth, such as more fulfilled employees, happy and loyal customers, innovative and profitable suppliers, and thriving and environmentally healthy communities (Sisodia, Wolfe and Seth). Conscious capitalism results when conscious leaders create conscious businesses. Let us explore these two determinants of conscious capitalism.
Conscious Business
Conscious business is driven by the company's "raison d'être" or higher purpose. Higher purpose, one of the four characteristics of conscious business, transcends profit maximization and engages all stakeholders – customers, employees, investors, suppliers, and the larger communities – in which the business participates. Whole Foods Market's higher purpose is described as "whole foods, whole people, whole planet." The term "whole foods" guides the company to offer the highest quality, least processed, most flavorful, and natural foods; "whole people" represents employees who are passionate about healthy foods and a healthy planet; and "whole planet" is the company's commitment to helping take care of the communities and the planet.
Conscious business is also driven to create value, in various and often different ways, for all stakeholders. A stakeholder orientation, another characteristic of conscious business, suggests that businesses are part of a complex, interdependent, and evolving system. Efforts are focused on generating synergistic win-win situations that advance the whole system. Desso, a Netherlands-based manufacturer of commercial and domestic carpets and artificial grass for sports, is a good example of an organization that embraces the stakeholder orientation. Desso has moved away from the cradle-to-grave practices and adopted the cradle-to-cradle approach. The cradleto-cradle approach goes beyond sustainability because it focuses on full-circle processes that seek to enrich the earth and benefit all stakeholders. These creative and cost-effective ecologically innovative business efforts create profitable and ethical manufacturing processes and corporate practices (McDonough and Braungart).
file:///C|/clients/Legault%20Marie/Conscious%20Capitalism%20Leaders%20and%20Organizations%20with%20a%20World%20View.htm[3/27/2012 3:45:01 PM] Conscious Capitalism: Leaders and Organizations with a World View Another characteristic of a conscious business is its culture, which can be felt yet is difficult to describe. The Conscious Capitalism organization suggests that the acronym TACTILE best captures a conscious culture (Conscious Capitalism). TACTILE integrates elements of trust, authenticity, caring, transparency, integrity, learning, and empowerment. Southwest Airline and The Container Store are examples of organizations that incorporate the elements of a conscious culture.
Conscious Leadership Conscious leadership is also a characteristic of conscious business and foundational to conscious capitalism. Because the public neither believes nor trusts organizations and their leaders, one can wonder – who are these conscious leaders who work from a place of higher purpose, take on an expanded view to deliver value for all stakeholders, and create conscious cultures? To answer this question, we turn to adult and leader development theories.
There are two dimensional aspects to development: horizontal and vertical growth (Cook-Greuter "Making the Case for a Developmental Perspective"). Horizontal growth occurs through exposure to life and its many learning processes, such as schooling, training, and self-directed and life-long learning. Horizontal development is the most common dimension since most of the learning, training, and development practices in organizations and society are focused on expanding, deepening, and enriching one's current way of making sense of the world. Vertical growth, on the other hand, does not occur as often, and is more powerful than horizontal growth because it transforms a person's way of making sense toward taking a broader perspective and, as such, develops new ways for adults to think, feel, and act.
There is evidence that the developmental process that transforms one's sense-making toward taking a broader perspective occurs in successive stages or levels, each of which integrates learning from the prior stages into a more complex structure (Richards and Commons; Cook-Greuter "Making the Case for a Developmental Perspective";
Rooke and Torbert; Kegan; Fisher, Kenny and Pipp; Cook-Greuter "Postautonomous Ego Development: A Study of Its Nature and Measurement"). The stages form a tiered system. At the first tier, leaders at the pre-conventional level are guided by their needs, which results in ego-centric behavior. At the second tier, conventional leaders take on a socio-centric or ethno-centric view, where concern for others is limited to their immediate circle – their work group, family, company, or nation. At the last tier, postconventional leaders take a world-centric view that encompasses the entire planet.
Findings from a recent study suggest that leaders with a world-centric view are ethicful and conscious about the way they think, feel, and act.
The study highlights how world-centric leaders have a desire to be of service and experience ethics as heartfelt. Such individuals have a heightened self-awareness and a broader perspective, an innate desire for and commitment to continuous development, and a spiritual core.
In addition, world-centric leaders look for organizations that are congruent with their guiding values and seek formal and informal support and trusting relationships to enhance their development (Legault).
