"More people have access to scripture than at any other time in history," Bob Creson, president and CEO of Wycliffe Bible Translators USA, told The Christian Post in an interview on Friday. On Thursday, Wycliffe announced that 4.9 billion people can now read the Bible in their native language. Creson declared that by 2025, there will be "translation occurring in every community that needs it." Only 1,919 language groups still lack access to the Bible, and Creson expects that to drop below 1,900 soon. ...
They should also know about The Timing of the Rapture, Part 1 and The Timing of the Rapture, Part 2.
No, Penny, John Y., and SteveR, the Romish Church supports Amillennialism and many Protestants support that and Postmillennialism, but The Unscriptural Theology of Amillennialism and Postmillennialism shows that is wrong.
No, Penny, very few pre-tribs (and I do mean few!) use the Tribulation as an excuse to evangelize, except it is coming soon, but they can't effect the date of the Rapture by any of their actions.
the reason we would translate bibles and hand them out is because of our love for Christ and our lost neighbor... simple as that.
if we have other motives, be it the pretrib rapture to get us out of the bed we made, then perhaps we need to be out of the evangelism business.
Christ is still building His Kingdom.

Google and Bing are the top search engines in world of internet. Although without any doubt Google is number one search engine and Google Maps are best mapping feature but Bing Maps are also making their impression. Following is the comparison between Google Maps and Bing Maps or we can say Google vs Bing.
Google Maps Free Download
Bing Maps Free Download
Easy Usage/Ease of Use
Both Google Maps and Bing Maps are flexible enough to perform all manner of mapping searches, from postcodes to precise geographic co-ordinates. However, for getting directions and finding nearby facilities, Google Maps is the better option. The problem with Bing is that the interface's design doesn't clearly distinguish between the different areas of the page or group its options sensibly: some controls are in the bottom-left of the page, others in the middle or above the map itself.
To be fair, Google Maps is far from perfect on this score – sometimes displaying nothing but a drop-down menu when there's an acre of white space floating below – but the links, controls and icons are generally easier to pick out, so Google wins this first round. Hence in this respect Google Maps are better than Bing Maps.
Comparison of features between Google Maps and Bing Maps
In terms of basic cartography, there's not a lot between the two services. Bing Maps offers a broader variety of map types and employs more intelligence in applying them. When displaying London, a colourful A-Z-style street map is used; for countryside excursions, you can view Ordnance Survey maps. Its Bird's Eye view provides a raised-level perspective as captured by low-flying aircraft, so you can 'fly' around buildings and scenery.
Bing's transitions between the various view types are handled more smoothly than with Google Maps, yet the latter trumps all this with Street View. Drag the little orange
pegman onto the map and where roads or locations turn blue, you get eye-level panoramic photography. This includes almost all UK roads and many other countries and cities. Bing Maps is testing a similar service, called Street side (www.microsoft.com/maps/ streetside.aspx), but this remains in beta and has only a fraction of the imagery that's available in Street View. Hence Google Maps are again better than Bing Maps.
Presentation of Google Maps and Bing Maps
Bing Maps is consistently more attractive than Google Maps, with the latter exhibiting the search giant's minimal, if familiar and functional, interface. Bing's 'What's new?' panel, for instance, brightens up the homepage no end. But being consistently more attractive does not equate to a consistent interface. And here, despite a recent overhaul, Bing Maps falls down. The mix of drop-downs, buttons and links is just confusing, with the compass dial being particularly hard to pick out from the background. Indeed, we'd go so far as to say that Bing's new interface is actually worse than the one it replaced – not a good sign. Hence Bing Maps are better than Google Maps.
Information: Comparison between Google Maps and Bing Maps
Google has access to so much information that it would be strange if its Maps service didn't secure victory in this round – and so it does. Type a postcode into Google Maps, for example, and you'll find information layers to show geographically relevant user-submitted photos, worldwide webcams, YouTube videos, Wikipedia articles, properties for sale and even traffic conditions on most major roads around the world. It also offers turn-by-turn navigation for GPS devices.
Save for route directions – where it's on a par – Bing Maps is sadly lacking: there's a layer for the London Tube map, which is useful, but traffic information is only available in a few locations. Where possible or relevant, Bing Maps will plot search results on the map (but this is the least we expect from an online map). In short, this round is a hands-down win for Google Maps and Bing Maps has a very long way to go to before it has any chance of catching up. Hence Google Maps are better than Bing Maps.
Extras: Comparison between Google Maps and Bing Maps
As ever with Google, some of the best Google Maps extras are to be found by clicking the little green Labs phial at the top-right of the screen. These include a measuring tool and the ability to navigate maps by popular locations. Google Maps is also widely available for mobile devices. As well as being integrated into Apple iOS devices such as the iPad and iPhone, it has an app for BlackBerry, Android, Symbian and Windows Phone handsets.
For its part, Bing Maps is available as a web app for use on most handsets, but this mobile browser-based version of the tool isn't a patch on Google Maps' various platform-specific apps. That said, the Bing Maps app for Microsoft's own Windows Phone platformis very good. To its credit, Bing is adding new features all the time but Google Maps' current line-up of functions and tools is simply better. Again Google Maps are better than Bing Maps.
Overall we can easily say that Google Maps are much better than Bing Maps in all respect.

Antonio Valencia is poised to return from a long-term foot injury for Manchester United's Europa League first leg tie at Liverpool.
The 30-year-old Ecuador international could be named as a substitute for ThursdayÂ's round of 16 match at Anfield after recovering from an operation on his foot which has sidelined him for five months.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, who has not played since the FA Cup victory against Sheffield United in January, is also closing in on a return but is likely to miss the game on Merseyside.
Marouane Fellaini was on the bench in the defeat at West Brom on Sunday and is in contention to feature in the game.
Boss Louis van Gaal said: "I don't think (any new players shall be available), but Valencia is of course fit enough to be on the bench. But to play 90 minutes, I don't think so.
"Valencia is coming back, (Bastian) Schweinsteiger is coming back.
"I think a lot shall come back in March but when they come back it is not so easy to decide if they can cope with the rhythm of a match because they are fit to train with us.
"But, for example, Schweinsteiger only one has one training session with us behind him.
"Valencia has a week so he is much closer to be on the bench, for example, but not to play in the (entire) match. That is different."
Winger Jesse Lingard will miss the first leg through suspension after he was booked in both legs of the previous round against FC Midtjylland
Adnan Januzaj is cup-tied, while Wayne Rooney, Ashley Young, Will Keane and Luke Shaw remain absent.

Today, I am 41 weeks. Suppose to be induced today but the hospital said they are really busy at the moment and will call me when there is a free bed.
1-2 weeks ago, I lost my mucus plug... I don't have any doubts that it wasn't my plug. Over the last 3-4 days, I have been losing a LOT more of my plug- tons of thick/stringy mucus.
Well today, my pelvis has been VERY sore and my lower back. I am losing so much more of my plug that its coming out in clumps/just dripping out (mucus, not my water).
WELL... the last hour or so the mucus has had some blood in it. I would imagine this is the start of my 'bloody show'?
In your experience(s)... how much longer til you went into labor? All the info..... last week I was about 3-4cm dilated, 50-75% effaced, and stage 0.

Bob Hartley's phone apparently started to ring not long after Wade Belak accused him last month of sending out players to fight back in the days when they together in Hershey.
"I got maybe six or seven calls from former teammates of his saying, 'Hey, that's awful. He doesn't remember the extra hours you spent with him after practice, teaching him how to skate, how to shoot and stuff like that,' " Hartley said after the morning skate yesterday.
After the Maple Leafs and Atlanta Thrashers brawled on Oct. 14, the Leafs said Hartley, the Thrashers coach, deliberately sent out players to cause mayhem. A week afterward, when Eric Boulton elbowed Paul Ranger of the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Leafs resumed their charges.
Belak said at the time Hartley would send out players to fight, no matter the score.
But when told yesterday of Hartley's comments regarding their time in Hershey -- Belak was on the Calder Cup-winning team in 1997 with Hartley behind the bench -- Belak said he never thought Hartley was a bad coach.
"As far as teaching young guys the systems and how to play a position, and teach you basically how to do your job, he had that ability," Belak said. "He wanted everybody to be a better player, but there was the other side (of sending players out)."
Hartley yesterday was asked what he thought of the Leafs' accusations.
"My only answer on this is you don't win championships by being stupid," said Hartley, who coached Hershey's parent club, the Colorado Avalanche, to a Stanley Cup title in 2001. "You just have to look at my track record and I think it speaks by itself.
"You can't control what other people will say. The league has done so many great things, improving scoring, making sure clutching and grabbing are gone. Look at the dressing rooms right now (of the Leafs and Thrashers). You have (Mats) Sundin, (Bryan) McCabe, (Tomas) Kaberle, (Ed) Belfour. On our side, you have (Ilya) Kovalchuk, (Peter) Bondra and company. Our priority should be on those guys."
Last night, Belak and Boulton became the focus when they fought at 7:31 of the first period, but Hartley was right.
Despite all the negativity since the night of incidents, Hartley said he sympathized with league disciplinarian Colin Campbell and his staff.
"They have the toughest job in hockey," Hartley said. "I would not want that job."

* Turkey to send frigates, submarine and support ship
* Vessels will help enforce U.N. arms embargo on Libya
(Adds details, previous ISTANBUL)
BRUSSELS, March 23 (Reuters) - Turkey has offered four frigates, a submarine and a support ship to help enforce a NATO mission to enforce a U.N. arms embargo on Libya, the Western military alliance said on Wednesday.
The alliance had offers of 16 ships to implement a decision to launch the mission taken by NATO this week, NATO military officer Brigadier Pierre St Amand told a news briefing.
He said the ships included a command-and-control ship from Italy; 10 frigates -- including four from Turkey and one each from Britain, Spain, Greece, Italy, Canada and the United States; submarines from Spain, Italy and Turkey; and auxiliary ships from Italy and Turkey.
St Amand said the NATO mission was authorised to use armed force to enforce the embargo.
While agreeing to enforce the arms embargo, NATO nations have yet to agree to take part in a no-fly zone over Libya and whether the alliance should have a leading role in the international mission.
Turkey, a Muslim state and a NATO member, says the air campaign over Libya led by France, the United States and Britain has already gone beyond the scope of last week's U.N. Security Council resolution. There was no immediate word of whether Ankara would accept a compromise at NATO on Wednesday.

EXCLUSIVE: Sept. 16, 2013 – The report of the UN chemical weapons investigators due to be released Monday morning in New York will confirm that sarin gas was used in the August 21st attack on the Damascus suburb of Ghouta.
The report will say that that there is "clear and convincing evidence" that the nerve agent sarin was fired from rockets into the area.
On Sunday evening in New York, the UN photo Twitter feed released an image that showed the first page of the report that was handed to Ban Ki-moon by the head of the UN investigation team, Swedish scientist Ake Sellstrom.
A close-up of the photo reveals that the inspectors' report that "the environmental and medical samples we have collected, provide clear and convincing evidence that…rockets containing the nerve agent sarin were used."
Cropped pic of relevant text from page one of #UN chemical weapons report on #Syria confirming sarin gas was used pic.twitter.com/2h0CA60HGj— Denis Fitzgerald (@denisfitz)
The report will be presented to the UN Security Council as well as the UN General Assembly on Monday. While the US and Russia has agreed on a deal to put Syria's chemical weapons under international control, the admission by Syria that it possesses these weapons and the report of their use is bound to further calls for the Security Council to refer the situation to the International Criminal Court.
A 1988 resolution following confirmation that chemical weapons were used by Iraq in its war against Iran compels the Security Council to act if there was any future confirmation of the use of these weapons 'wherever and by whomever committed.'

Hello, Kay.
I'm not surea about a URL for a website that will tell you the
However, from my understanding, you take the lowest number of generations,
which is the grandfather relationship. Now, a father's sibling's child,
would make a relation your first cousin. A grandfather's sibling's
grandchild, would make a relation your second cousin. A difference of a
generation, between your link to one of the siblings, and, your relative's
link to one of the siblings, would make you once removed.
So, my understanding, is that you are second cousins, once removed.
By the way, where is the place named Confused, in NZ? I was raised in NZ,
and, I don't remember a place by that name.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Cortney W.
Review for World Animal Protection , New York City, NY, USA
I am 'friends' with WSPA on facebook, and I really love reading their updates about animals who need help, or those who have been rescued. My favorite stories so far are about the bears who were rescued from bear baiting and brought to a sanctuary. WSPA is an inspiration of mine to help animals in my future. I am attending school for wildlife conservation and I hope to have my own large animal rescue for rehabilitation and refuge some day. The work by WSPA inspires me everyday and also reassures me that my dreams are attainable.

When the camera cut to Dez Bryant throwing a childish tantrum on the bench during the Thanksgiving Day loss, it wasn't hard to think back to another recent Cowboys receiver who made headlines for the way he conducted himself off the field.
Drew Pearsonmade the connection for anyone who had successfully blocked Terrell Owens from their minds, although we imagine only those engaged in heavy therapy have been able to achieve that blissful state of mind. Pearson called out Bryant for engaging in T.O.-style behavior and slammed the rookie for putting himself before the rest of the team.
Hard to argue with that second point, but there seem to be some serious differences between what happened with Bryant and what used to happen with Owens. First and foremost, the thing that set Bryant off appeared to be a holding call that wiped out a big Marion Barber run. That doesn't make it okay to lose control of your emotions, but it is far different than pitching a fit on the sideline because the entire offense isn't running through you.
For the sake of argument, let's say that Bryant was peeved about the fact that he was on his way to getting shut out for the first time as a pro. You might not like the way he handled it, but can you really argue with the sentiment? Bryant was targeted a handful of times during the game and Jon Kitna never threw a ball that could be reasonably described as catchable. On a day when a major reason the Cowboys lost was their inability to make big plays on offense, it seems reasonable that Bryant, a man capable of making those big plays, would find the lack of productivity to be a problem.
Not enough of a problem to stop blocking downfield, as evidenced by the penalty, or stop playing hard, however. That's a pretty significant difference from the way Owens used to do things. Bryant didn't quit on his team and he didn't stop giving maximum effort because things weren't playing out just the way he hoped.
He also didn't rush to the nearest microphone after the game to accuse his teammates of conspiring against him or lob grenades at his quarterback. He didn't say a thing to reporters at all, which might indicate he had some negative thoughts but at least it says that he was smart enough to avoid letting everyone know that he was feeling down in the dumps. Someone solely focused on the individual, someone like T.O. in other words, isn't capable of making that kind of decision.
For the two weeks before the Saints game, everyone was falling all over themselves to praise the Cowboys for showing so much emotion and passion during their two wins. The thing about flashing those things is that there's another side that reared its head when Bryant went off on the sideline. It is incredibly hard to have one without the other, and fire is certainly preferable to the kind of apathy we witnessed for the first half of this season.
Things happen in the heat of battle and sometimes those things are ugly. They only become a problem when they are allowed to linger or are expanded when cooler heads mean that any negativity is calculated instead of being a result of frustration. That, and not the kind of sideline fireworks we also saw from Michael Irvin, is why T.O. became such a problematic figure.
Don't put that on Dez unless he deserves it.

Itching, inflammation, and irritation from eczema can be so intense it takes over your life. But there is help, Chinese medicine physicians have long used acupuncture and herbal medicine to treat eczema which is supported not only by thousands of years of clinical experience but also a number of recent clinical studies.
What is Eczema?
Eczema is best understood as a group of skin conditions that have similar types of inflammation including dry skin, redness, scale, and blisters. Eczema develops because of an interaction between the person and the environment: someone has a genetic propensity for dry skin and allergies when contact with soaps and irritants trigger the development of eczema (1). For many people the itch precedes the rash and inflammation. This is why it is said that eczema is the "the itch that rashes." Scratching the skin leads to inflammation.
Eczema has existed for many generations, however it's frequency is rising rapidly within the last century. No one knows the exact cause of the increase in eczema, but factors include irritants, harsh soaps, over bathing, allergies, environmental pollutants, and diet. While the exact cause is unknown, eczema skin has distinct characteristics: dry skin, increased IgE production, a tendency for the overgrowth of staphylococcus aureus, higher skin pH, and a deficiency in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) (2).
Before I saw Dr. Alban my eczema was out of control and getting worse every year. I tried all western forms of therapy including steroid cream after steroid cream. But after one month of visits with Dr. Alban, between the acupuncture therapy and the supplemental herbs he suggested the eczema not only cleared up but has since yet to return.

Eczema in Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine refers to eczema as the "wind of four crooks" referring to the eczema rashes on the inside of the elbows and knees which are the common locations of the condition (3).
Chinese Medicine understands eczema as an imbalance of body's energy which allows external pathogenic factors to attack causing itch, inflammation, as well as dry and red skin. The acupuncture and herbal therapy are customized to address the underlying imbalances. Heat, wind, dampness, toxins, or others are the most common for eczema. The determination of the underlying imbalance is important because it will govern which specific herbs therapy and acupuncture points are used.
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Treatment for Eczema
Chinese medicine can bring about profound and lasting results. This is thought to be due to the immuno-regulatory effect of Chinese herbs, acupuncture, and topical emolliants. Rather than suppressing the immune function acupuncture and Chinese herbs help to bring it back into a healthy state. Research has shown that Chinese herbal medicine is linked to a reduction in corticosteroid use in children (4).
To be effective the acupuncture and herbs must be customized to each individual's condition. The right Chinese herbs and acupuncture help to relieve the inflammation causing the eczema.
Chinese herbs are prescribed in combination of 8-12 herbs called a formula. Each formula is tailored to address the cause of the eczema. Each type of eczema requires the use of different herbs which is why getting the correct diagnosis is very important. Topical herbal creams are important to nourish and balance the skin.
Types of eczema
There are many types of eczema which we often treat with acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
Atopic eczema is a very common condition affecting up to 20% of people in developed nations. Unfortunately, atopic eczema numbers are on the rise. Atopic skin is also be sensitive to infection, stress, changes in the weather, particular foods, or irritant substances which may cause a flare in the condition (5). Atopic eczema is treated most often with topical steroids that suppress the inflammatory response. Unfortunately, steroids also have many side effects. Research has shown that Chinese herbal medicine is linked to a reduction in corticosteroid use in children (4)
Chinese medicine treats atopic eczema not by suppressing the immune response, but rather correcting the imbalances that are causing the eczema. By correcting these imbalances your body is able to heal on its own. Heat and dampness are the most common causes of eczema. This is a very important differentiation because the treatment for each type of eczema is very different. Each type of eczema requires the use of different herbs which is why getting the correct diagnosis is very important. Eczema from dry-heat requires herbs that are cold but not drying which may include sheng di huang (rehmannia) and jin yin hua (honey suckle). If damp heat is present herbs that are cold and drying, such as long dan cao, are effective.
Pompholyx eczema is a type of eczema of the hands and feet that causes vesicle eruptions, itching, and fissures which can be quite painful. Sometimes called dyshidrosis eczema because it is thought to be caused by sweating on the palms and feet. Pompholyx eczema generally cycles in periods of flare ups with vesicles and resolves with the formation of scales. Pompholyx eczema can be a very difficult conditions because it affects your ability with common daily functioning.
The most common imbalances which cause pompholyx eczema are damp heat and toxins. The skin will reflect characteristics that provide information as to the nature of the imbalance. For example, redness in the skin and yellow crusting are signs of heat toxicity. While vesicles and swelling are a reflection of damp heat. The level of itching shows how intense the signs of dampness are.
Stasis Eczema:
Stasis Eczema occurs on the lower legs in some patients with poor circulation and swelling of the legs. After a number of attacks of inflammation the condition may become chronic and recurrent. In Chinese medicine this is most often related to lack of circulation of blood, called blood stagnation, and damp heat.
Nummular eczema:
Nummular eczema is a common type of eczema that affects primarily middle aged and elderly persons. It's characterized by a coin shaped red and itchy eczematous lesion which often occur on the arms and legs. Small blisters called vesicles are common and it is easy to become infected. In Chinese medicine, Nummular eczema is most often related to damp heat and heat toxins.
Fingertip Eczema:
Fingertip eczema may begin as an allergic reaction or it may develops from unknown causes. If often becomes chronic and very irritating as it impedes on daily activities. The skin of the fingertips can become very dry, cracked and scaly. Fingertip eczema can be treated with Chinese herbs very successfully helping to avoid and reduce the use of topical steroids.
Lichen Simplex:
Lichen simplex is a chronic eczematous like reaction caused by scratching. This can often be brought upon by a stressful situation in one's life. Long term scratching of an area leads to thickening of the skin. The Chinese medicine treatment aims and reducing itch and calming the mind through acupuncture and herbs.
Clinical Research
A number of studies have shown that a Chinese herbal formula is effective in treating eczema. One double blind randomized crossover study treated 40 adults with chronic eczema with an herbal formula (in later studies, this formula is entitled Zemaphyte). This study concluded that the herbal formula was effective for reducing skin lesions, redness, itching, and helped the patients sleep better. This same formula later showed to have immune system regulatory effects.

They sold these in the 1990's with an included caliber conversion for like 3 different calibers. I still wish I had picked one up.
Glock, H&K, Sig, Beretta... You know them, you use them, you love them. And why shouldn't you? They're some of the best pistols available today. I however took a little different approach and bought a Jericho 941 (also known as the Baby Eagle) mainly because I wanted a pistol that felt comfortable, I knew the design had been based on the CZ-75, and I also have small hands which the Jericho seemed to fit. I wanted a new pistol that was cheaper than a Sig or H&K but I'm not fond of Glock or Beretta. The Jericho was my answer. I know there's been a few reviews of the Jericho 941 before but those are about previous models and of polymer furniture.
**I own the Jericho 941 R steel frame mid-size model in .40 S&W so all information provided below pertains to this particular handgun. Just because I own a Jericho 941 doesn't mean I think it's the best pistol. It has it's flaws and I feel that anyone who's thinking about laying the cash on the table should know what they're buying.**
1) The Good: The pistol is very, very comfortable to hold and that's an understatement. Anyone who holds the Jericho will instantly fall in love with the way it fits the hand. There is also no slide movement or shaking like there is on some firearms. The pistol is very solid. It's also very thin for a firearm that holds 12 rounds (plus another in the chamber) of .40 S&W. IWI (formerly IMI) has a history and reputation of building sturdy firearms and the Jericho is no exception. The newer models like mine come with tactical rails for those people who like adding goodies under their pistols. The trigger is also amazing and feels great to pull. The pistol is also very accurate.
2) The Bad: The Jericho is quite heavy (again, I have the steel frame). The polymer model I held didn't sit as well in my hand so it felt like I had the choice of a heavy pistol that fit in my hands or a lighter pistol that didn't feel comfortable. I've yet to find a holster that fits my Jericho and even if i do, the pistol is still heavy which makes it a little more uncomfortable. This pistol (the steel model) isn't a concealed carry model, that's for sure. Magazines are also pretty expensive so prepare to dish out the money if you want a few spare ones.
3) The Ugly: The Jericho isn't a pretty pistol like the 1911's or Sig's. It looks fearsome and tactical. It's been designed to survive in a harsh environment and it doesn't have the appealing qualities some collectors or shooters desire. But this area doesn't determine the quality of the firearm of course.
Summary: I'm satisfied with my Jericho but it isn't suitable for carry if you can even find a proper holster for it. It's a solid, comfortable, accurate, and reliable firearm.
Take care and stay safe and I hope this information was useful to anyone thinking about purchasing a Jericho 941.
They sold these in the 1990's with an included caliber conversion for like 3 different calibers. I still wish I had picked one up.
An associate of mine carried the full metal 9mm Jericho for a while and it has since been sold to another friend. It reminds me of the Beretta 92 in fit and feel, but I think finding a holster for it is the biggest set back. They complained about the size for carry, but that is subjective. The more I think about it, the more I think it's just a cousin of the 92.

I'll be putting pics up if you'd like (probably later tonight). Thanks guys!.
Sounds like a good gun. The weight issue can most likely be handled with a good holster. Crossbreed or Raven Concealment are my favorites but I don't know about that model.
Have you considered getting the polymer and haveing the grip done by Robar, I have a couple of them and like them a lot.
I don't like the feel of the polymer models. For some reason the grips don't agree with my hands and they feel a little uncomfortable. But i'm sure they make an excellent carry gun. It's too bad the Jericho isn't more popular.
Thanks for the review. I own a fullsize steel 9mm Jericho. Magnum Research doesn't import them anymore. Charles Daly does now.
Jericho 941
I have the Polymer version in Semi-Compact 9mm. Not the new ones with the finger grooves as I don't like those. As he said, you will fall in love with the grip and how it feels in your hands. That's what drew me to it. It's very accurate, more so than am I. Mine also has the rail, but at the time the Semi-Compact was the only one that did.
I disagree with the opinion of the looks from the OP. I think they are MUCH more sexy than the SIGs, but not the 1911's. Those are just sexy! Definately much more sexy than the GLOCKS! While the Polymer version is heavier than other pistols, it's much lighter than a 1911 and maybe a little lighter than some Sigs. I held a Steel version today at Bradis and I agree it's NOT a carry gun for how heavy it is. I do carry my Polymer Jericho as an EDC.
I had some failures in mine in the first 450 rounds fired, but have not had a failure since. I've fired about 1000 rounds through her and like I said before, she's VERY accurate.
Here is my Baby Eagle. I carry it in a Kydex custom holster OC, and an Uncle Mike's knockoff CC....

Harbor College hires Dowty
There's no place to go but up for new Harbor College football coach Dean Dowty, who officially begins work July 1 and has a lot of work to do before the team's season opener on Sept. 5 against Golden West at Orange Coast College.
Health issues led Reuben Ale to step down after one year on the job, but Dowty hopes to retain Ale as defensive coordinator.
"He said he wants to do it and I believe everything is better with his health, so it looks good," Dowty said.
Harbor went 0-10 last year after former coach Brett Peabody left for Long Beach City and took players and assistant coaches with him.
Dowty, College of the Desert head coach for the last eight years and a former L.A. Avengers assistant coach under Ed Hodgkiss (Bishop Montgomery), has a small window for recruiting with the timing of the hire, but Harbor was a freshman-laden team last year and has a lot of returnees.
"It's difficult coming in this late, but the good thing is we have a strong core coming back," Dowty said. "I'll recruit hard the next couple of months, but I'm happy to see a good, core group and we'll build on that."
He went to three bowl games at Desert, was an interim athletic coordinator and an instructor in the HPER (Health, Physical Education and Recreation) department.
"I was wearing a lot of hats over there. It will be nice to focus on football," Dowty said. "Harbor has had good coaches, but they have not stayed long. Now they've made it a full-time position, which provides some stability."
Dowty also will be offensive coordinator and run a no-huddle, multi-set offense that will be tailored to his talent.
"You have to look at the personnel every year at this level and cater the offense to fit the talent, but you'll see the spread and multiple sets," Dowty said.
He is busy forming his coaching staff and recruiting. He said he'll probably retain three or four of the current assistants and bring some coaches in. He said he's excited about a recruiting base that is better than that of Desert.
"My biggest goal is to establish the program," Dowty said. "Obviously we want to win as many games as we can, but that is a by-product of building a program, doing the right things academically, helping the kids move on and being a mentor to the students. Winning comes from that. But first things first. We'll get in there and establish ourselves."
Dowty is looking forward to the challenge at Harbor.
"I'm really excited to be a part of Harbor College, and I look forward to a long future here," Dowty said.

Steve King
Representing Iowa's Fifth Congressional District, King may even produce more horrifying statements than better-known colleagues like Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Allen West (R-FL) combined. He was the sole member of Congress willing to go on record to voice what countless xenophobes across America were likely thinking in 2008: "When you think about the optics of a Barack Obama potentially getting elected President of the United States — I mean, what does this look like to the rest of the world?" King asked. "What does it look like to the world of Islam? I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they will declare victory in this War on Terror. "
King led the effort to replace the judges who voted to legalize gay marriage in Iowa and is a consistent voice for what he imagines is the most persecuted group in America: straight white males. That's probably why was one of the few Republicans to voice support for Todd Akin as he echoed many of the statements that got the candidate from Missouri in so much trouble.
What's the scariest thing about Steve King? He claims that if Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are elected he'll have the vice-president's ear. "Paul listens to me," King recently said. Which leads us to…

Forsyth Central Library's Past Evokes Fallout-Era Memories
After years of delay, Forsyth County Commissioners this year took up the task of finding the site for a new library. They've taken one informal and one formal vote that would designate the library's current site at Fifth and Spring streets as the location for the new library. But it's not a done deal yet and some are still hoping to sway commissioners to move the library to the old sheriff's office on Third Street.
Regardless of the library's final destination, commissioners have promised a state-of-the art new facility, with new spaces and new technologies. Yet even if the library stays in its current location, there is at least on part of its historical past that won't be coming with it.
(Audio of air raid siren)
If you're old enough, you may recognize that sound as an old civil defense siren. That's right - for years, the library served as a fallout shelter for downtown residents. It was one of more than 120 local buildings so designated, and among the most public. Winston-Salem was believed to be a high-priority Soviet target because a Western Electric plant that made defense applications was here, and also at the time the city was a major industrial base.
Fam Brownlee is a historian in the North Carolina Room at the Central Library.
"We're on the ground floor of the original Central Library, which was built in 1953," he said. "The entire ground floor was designated as a fallout shelter."
You can still here the hum from the heating and cooling system in the basement where the luckiest survivors would have hunkered down. The library's sub-basement was stocked with necessities for waiting out the fallout, including basic medical supplies, water, and the fallout shelter rations - graham-cracker-like wafers known as "survival biscuits." At the height of the cold war, visitors to the library would see the black-and-yellow signs alerting them that if there were ever a nuclear attack, they could seek shelter in the bowels of the building.
Brownlee, a Winston-Salem native, said he remembers the paradox of preparing to survive a nuclear strike that, in their hearts, many people understood was not survivable.
"I mean it was kind of a scary comedy," he said. "We were in one sense afraid that it was gonna happen - in fact it almost seemed inevitable. On the other side though, at least some of us knew that the measures were being taken to so-call protect us, were not going to work."
In the 1970s, more and more people came to understand what Brownlee and his peers already knew about the dim prospects of living through a nuclear attack. As a result, public sentiment about the shelters began to shift. There was a growing recognition that should a nuclear attack occur, the shelters would provide minimal protection, most of us would be doomed anyway, and the ruined world that would remain for the survivors was hardly worth emerging from the shelter for. Over the years, the shelters were decommissioned, supplies were sold as scrap, and the survival biscuits were discarded or used for livestock feed.
The Civil Defense offices transitioned into what we now call Emergency Management. Mel Sadler is director of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County emergency management agency, located at Smith Reynolds Airport. Sadler said the shelters are part of such a bygone era that there's no record in his office of where the old shelters were. And yet relics of that old era still exist in plain view. Some of the old black-and-yellow signs are still left on the walls of buildings whose shelters were long ago decommissioned. They hang there, faded and forgotten, as if to say "In the event of a nuclear attack….eh, don't bother." Sadler said the nuclear threat – while perhaps diminished for this area - is still real. But it's a different kind of threat now and is treated in a different way.
"We're talking now about terrorism as opposed to one government attacking another government," he said. "One of the big problems with that is the amount of time and notification - we will not have an advanced notice, we don't believe, for a nuclear attack now as opposed to what we would have had should international tensions build up and some of the other things that would have happened in the old days. So it's going to be quick, it's going to be dirty and it's going to require a quick response."
Sadler said that although some of the old thinking may be ridiculed today, good things did come out of the fallout-shelter era. For example, the emergency alert system we use today descended from a radio alert system used during the Cold War. Sadler said the biggest change has been one of mindset, that things aren't the same now as they were in the age of the air raid siren.

Practical and economical, very fast and hugely tunable car. Basically an Audi S3, for a fraction of the money. With a few mods it is an all round star car. Looks mean and handles very well. The cabin is roomy and well equipped. The turbo is very reliable and the torque rating is great even from stock. The cars potential is staggering when given a little after market attention. Many, many modifications are available that can turn it into a very fast car. AWESOME PERFORMANCE! Practical… Read Full Review

Was in the market for something more sporty after my Toyota Corolla diesel got written off. Was looking for a Cupra R version, but found that decent examples were hard to get hold of and they tended to be overpriced. I spotted a mint 03 plate Cupra 180 on a private sale in my village. It was in black as well which in my opinion is the best colour for these, though is a nightmare trying to keep it clean. Looks great when it's been polished. This example was totally standard apart from the 18… Read Full Review

Hi, i recently bought a Seat Leon Cupra (180) couldn't find the Cupra R i wanted. I have just recenlty had revo on my ecu and has made an amazing amount of difference. I have gone from 180 bhp to 210 bhp and 173 lb/ft tourqe to 232 lb/ft tourqe. More tourqe than the standard Cupra R. The car feels so smooth to drive and pulls hard in every gear, especially 4th. i must admit though you do have to be very careful in wet and greasy conditions as its prone to spinning in 1st 2nd and has even in… Read Full Review

Had Revo put on it two weeks ago. It makes so much difference to the car, especially the torque. Have to be careful when putting foot down as the front wheels can only manage so much; initially that is.

Based upon the MkIV Golf, but with greater emphasis on looking and feeling like a true sports proposition, the Seat Leon Cupra R 1.8 20V Biturbo is a VW group bargain. The Audi TT uses this engine yet costs £27,000. It's an easier car to drive, quicker than the Honda Civic Type-R or Ford Focus RS and it is also comes loaded with equipment. If you want a lot of car for your money that works well every day, then the Cupra R is for you. Very quick and very well equipped. Top Spec, A/C, PAS, Sports… Read Full Review

Little I have driven comes close in terms of performance to the Seat Leon Cupra. Putting the power down from rest can be a struggle through the two front wheels, so a little restraint is required to over come this. Turbo's generally appreciate some gentle lead in and give earlier response whilst overcoming the lag, which in this beast just hits you in the back ! Clutch is on the heavy side. Worst point is SEAT's build quality and it's dealers. Mine develops rattle after rattle and still needs… Read Full Review

I have a Seat Leon Cupra R 1.8 20V Biturbo Sports Car and have modified it to 269 BHP.
Now, to be honest, it does break down more often because of the mods, but this is because I cant afford to upgrade the intercoolers yet.
Now modded it is an absolute animal.
I have raced a lot of different cars from lights up to about 60 or 70 Mph. The cupra has killed off a Golf VR6, Focus RS, M3, Escort RS, Clio 172, Celica GT4 and the best feeling of all - beating a Civic Type R - the car I nearly bought… Read Full Review

Where did you attach the second turbo?

SEAT only made a Leon Cupra R with a single turbo (KKK K04 hybrid turbo) and standard would either be 210bhp or 225bhp, depending upon when you bought it.

ECU remap will indeed push power up to around 260-280bhp (dependent upon boost level) and this shouldn't cause increased 'breakdowns', if it does then take it back to the place who modified it as the remap is dodgy.

The original coil packs installed under the bonnet were known to be prone to failure (as on most of the VAG range) and this was recognised and rectified by warranty replacement of all coils with a new type that doesn't fail quite so often, if you haven't had your old ones replaced, this could be the reason for your breakdowns.

If you are having problems of the car resorting to 'limp mode' (5psi), then the ECU remap is overboosting and needs to be sorted by reducing the boost spike.

Improving intercooling is indeed beneficial but standard equipment will not make the car breakdown.

If you have fitted a second turbo (you quote 'biturbo'), I would be interested to know 'where' and 'how'. I would also suggest that you would be getting better performance figures than you suggest if you are running a remapped ECU and biturbo.

The Leon Cupra R is a very nice vehicle and indeed quick. I personally own a modified Ibiza Cupra, pushing 215bhp and it is very rapid due to its power:weight ratio.

You don't specify which generation of M3, but if it was an E36 (newest one) that you beat then he wasn't trying! 400BHP through the rear wheels beat 268BHP through the front!!!

This car looks superb,possibly even better than the CTR & Focus RS, I saw one in black and the understated looks with big 18" alloys looks cool.

I have driven the CTR and it is brilliant, especially the gearbox. But I think if I was buying I would go for the Leon R- is you'rs 212 0r 225 bhp?

It has far more usable power than the type R and may seem slower to 60 on paper but I doubt it is slower with 30-50 or 50-70.

It has a turbo and is therefore far more tuneable than the CTR. My only concern is there is a MK2 CTR out now which is even better than the mark one and I'm not sure if the Leon R has as good a handling. Have you driven the Clio cup? as I am considering buying this too.

I have just bought a Seat Leon Cupra R 210 about 2 months ago. And as an overall package including running, maintenance, looks and goodies etc, I think it is my best buy so far. I drove a few before I bought this one, but one in particular had the optional Recaro interior (which is better than the standard trim, but very rare). That was a 210, but way faster than a 225 (I drove a couple). It spun in first 3 gears - rapid in the dry. It looked standard, but it must have been played with. My advise is, go to a few dealers, act interested and test drive a few cars.

P.S the 210 and 225 Cupra R, if chipped with a Revo chip, are both identical power at 265BHP.

Only the engine-management is different. And I can asure you that the both of them are doing fine with it. I drive a LEON Cupra R daily, it's my companycar for my work as SEAT-salesman.

As a Seat Sales Rep, what can you tell us about the quality problems with the Leon?
I will sum up a couple:
ignition coils, paint flaking, door leaks, rear lock, front lights leak, rear lights leak, rear brake light leak, poor fittings, brake failures in winter conditions, remote central locking failure, front and rear whipers don't fit, turbo problems, ecu braking down, poor service by dealers, poor service by Seat UK.
These are just a couple of things I found on the Internet, what leon owners experienced on a regular basis.

I can't comment on the Cupra R but the standard Cupra is a steaming dog poop. As the poster above points out nearly every bit on it breaks. If VW put a their badge on it no-one would know as it would probably fall off about 10 feet out of the dealers.

A truly awful car. Even Fords are better built, and that is saying something.
Written on: 23/06/2003
First of all the Leon Cupra R is not Bi-turbo, it has a single turbo. However, one of the main difference's over the standard Cupra model is that it's twin-intercooled.

I have only had my '03 Cupra R a short while but previously owned a Cupra, havong sold a Golf GTi turbo in-between because the Golf was smaller, slower, didn't handle as well and was no better built.

I bought an Imported Cupra R for £15,995 and at this money it simply has no competition (Honda type-R's + air con are more money and only three door).

If it had a VW badge on the back they would have sold 7500 to date not the 750 (official Uk cars) that are on the roads. Don't know if the optional recaro seats are worth the money though???

I believe there's a demo in Manchester UK, - Lookers Seat. Look on the seat.co.uk website.

Leather seat's _are_ an option on the standard Cupra. Most people don't seem to take it though, so it isn't that common for the second hand market. The Leather seats are also electrically motorised. On the older models (2000), they had a memory assosiated, but that was dropped because "nobody could work out what nods and handshakes were required to get the system to work".

Completely agree - brilliant car. Only the S3 comes close to topping it as a hot-hatch in that size bracket.

I have driven a Cupra R at a freindly dealer in Stoke on Trent. I currently drive a Mondeo 2.0 Zetec although its a tweaked repmobile its a fine drive previously had a RGT Turbo - the Cupra R did not feel good by comparison - dreadful heavy wooden steering spoilt the car v fast but not enjoyable. The Octavia RS drives better - driven 2 of them and you can chip it to 210hp. Std Cupra OK. Re the Honda not tried it for me it would probably be tiresome on the motorway. My choice would be - wait a couple of months and buy an ex demo Impreza WRX 3 for 17K driven one - nothing else comes close.

Day-of-the-week effects in emerging stock markets
This study uses both unconditional and conditional risk analysis to investigate the day-of-the-week effect in 21 emerging stock markets. In addition, risk is allowed to vary across the days of the week. Different models produce different results but overall day-of-the-week effects are present for the Philippines, Pakistan and Taiwan even after adjusting for market risk. The results in this study show that while the day-of-the-week effect is not present in the majority of emerging stock markets studied, some emerging stock markets do exhibit strong day-of-the-week effects even after accounting for conditional market risk.

An invitation to view new homes in Norfolk
Home-hunters looking for their dream property in Norfolk are invited to the launch of a stunning portfolio of brand new houses at Taylor Wimpey's Beaufort Park development in Carbrooke.
A fresh collection of stylish two and three-bedroom houses goes on sale at this thriving new community of properties in Norfolk on Thursday 2nd February, when home-buyers will receive their first opportunity to secure their pick of the plots.
Interest in this development of new houses for sale in Norfolk is already running high – but there are plenty of opportunities to find the perfect property at the development, where stylish two and three-bedroom houses are priced from as little as £111,995, and impressive four-bedroom properties from just £143,995.
Stacy Dornan, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: "This latest release of high-quality new build homes in Norfolk will offer a wealth of choice for first-time buyers, professional couples, growing families and downsizers alike.
"We've already received a number of enquiries from would-be buyers looking for new properties for sale in Norfolk, so I would urge anybody interested to attend the launch day, to ensure they have the best chance of securing their ideal plot."
One of the homes which will be available for reservation from Thursday 2nd February is the three-bedroom 'Weston' terraced house, priced from as little as £122,995.
This impressive home boasts a spacious living/dining room opening through French doors to the private rear garden plus a contemporary fitted kitchen and guest cloakroom off the entrance hallway.
Upstairs, the landing leads to an en-suite master bedroom, two further bedrooms and a main bathroom, while two allocated parking spaces can be found outside.
Like all new homes at Beaufort Park, the 'Weston' will be completed to a high standard specification, including energy efficient central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven, hob and hood.
And to make choosing one of these high-quality homes even more appealing, Taylor Wimpey offers a range of helpful homebuyer incentives for first-time buyers and those with a property to sell.
For instance, selected homes are available through FirstBuy, a Government-backed scheme which means qualifying first-time buyers can step on the property ladder at Beaufort Park with just a 75% mortgage and a 5% deposit, subject to status.

text: The X-Men Classic wiki last edited by boshuda on 10/24/14 05:37AM View full history Continues from Classic X-Men 45.This series reprints one issue from The X-Men (X-Men Classic #46 - Rage!) and reprints The Uncanny X-Men until The Uncanny X-Men #206 - Freedom is a Four Letter Word, with the exception of the Days of Future Past issues from The X-Men #141 - Days of Future Past and The Uncanny X-Men #142 - Mind Out of Time!. They would fall in between X-Men Classic #46 - Rage! and X-Men Classic #47 - Demon. This is also the point in the original series where it renamed from The X-Men to The Uncanny X-Men.With the renaming of this title there was also a format change. The backup stories, internal story edits, and additional editorial notes are dropped. They are now straight reprints of the source material, with the obvious exception of the advertisements. Advertisements, which were absent from Classic X-Men, are also introduced beginning with X-Men Classic #48 - Even In Death.

Bath too strong for Exiles
Bath made it six wins from as many games in all competitions with a 40-16 bonus-point victory against London Irish in the Aviva Premiership.
Looking a far more fluent outfit than the side that stuttered through the first half of the season, they saw off the Irish challenge with two tries in the last five minutes, the last coming in the final play of the game from prop Anthony Perenise.
Replacement fly-half Tom Heathcote converted all four tries and also kicked three penalties. The other Bath scores were a Stephen Donald penalty, a penalty try and touchdowns by Nick Abendanon and Nathan Catt.
It was quite a comedown for the Exiles after their victory over Saracens last weekend but they were undermined by a penalty count of 18-5 - and three yellow cards.
The only bright moment was a thrilling breakaway try by replacement scrum-half Jack Moates, but the defeat leaves them back in the relegation dogfight.
