The Matthes Report: Foxborough
Matthes on Trey Canard.
We're getting near the end of the Monster Energy Supercross series with just two races left and then it's onto the outdoors. It's been a bit of a predictable series, with Red Bull KTM's Ryan Dungey on his way to a third 450SX championship and rather easily at that. The series has been fortunate, also, in that we haven't had too many injuries so it's been a pretty full field from week to week. Monster Energy Kawasaki's Eli Tomac hasn't been as good as we thought he'd be, Soaring Eagle Suzuki's Kenny Roczen started slower than we thought he would and Honda's Trey Canard has yet to register a single podium in thirteen races (he's missed two with injury).
It's been a tough year for the former winner with crashes and bad starts being the main culprits for the results. It seemed for a while no matter what Canard did, the proverbial anvil fell on him and it wasn't always his doing. Usually it was the starts but, if he did get a good one, a rider would go down in front of him. Sometimes he just crashed early and spent the rest of the race trying to make up time.
There's a bit of light at the end of the tunnel for the #41 with four top fives in a row. Yes, that's still not what he or Honda thought he would get coming into the series, but it's a hell of a lot better than it's been.
After his latest finish (5th) in Foxborough, Canard admitted that he was happy with his race "I feel bad saying that (that he was happy)" Canard told me. "I would really like to do a lot better. I expect to do better, and I think I should expect to do better. Hopefully I can get on the box these last two rounds."
It's a contract year for Trey and his teammate Cole Seely. With Roczen likely moving to Honda, there seems to be room for just one more red rider. Lots of moving parts around the paddock with Canard talking to Monster Kawasaki and RCH for a spot along with I'm sure some others.
Two races left and the grueling outdoors await, where Trey's won plenty of races as well as a 250MX title. For now though, Canard's looking to try and end his supercross season on somewhat of a high note.
"Things are moving the right direction. But I'll be content. Fifth's better than last, better than what I was doing. There's a lot of shines of things that are good as far as the riding. So I just got to pull from that and keep moving forward."
Whether the long-time Honda rider is in his last twelve races with a red front fender or not is yet to be seen but somehow I think the motocross series is going to be better for 41. The 2016 450SX series has not been one to remember for the Okie.
This past weekend we had our second daytime supercross in a row with the new Foxborough round joining St Louis as rounds where the track walk was at 7:30am. If you're a rider who lives on the west coast that means your body was telling you that you needed to figure out what rhythms to do at 4:30am! The reason for this was because the early starts allowed the folks at Feld Motorsports (the promoters) to get onto FOX TV channel as opposed to Fox Sports 1. The difference? The main FOX Network is part of your basic cable package that pretty much everyone gets (one hundred and sixteen million homes with a TV) when they get a TV while FS1 is in eighty-four million homes.
Fox isn't going to give supercross a Saturday night, spot but apparently Saturday morning's all right for racing! Hence we all head to the track early. In my opinion the crowd's definitely affected by the daytime racing and the atmosphere isn't as great, but if the early shows attract more people to TV to watch what this great sport is about, then awesome. Traditionally Saturday night isn't very good for TV ratings either, so it's a chance for some new eyeballs to see our athletes jump their motorcycles around.
We're in a new era of racing where TV and the sport itself are interconnected to make sure the people at home are getting everything they can. The live three hour shows in HD are done well and the sport's come a long way from its roots, as just a few years ago we had to wait to watch a race where we already knew what happened. We have to make some sacrifices here or there along the way in an attempt to get to where we all want to be.

text: Posting for a mate because he's too lazy... He's set up his gmail and work mail on the phone just fine, but his hotmail is playing silly buggers. The gmail is through that app, the work and hotmail through the desire mail app. Anyway - he cannot get any hotmail emails into the inbox. When you first set up the account, he gets two 'welcome' mails - the kind you get when you set up the mail account online, welcoming you to your inbox. No other emails ever come through. However - he can send from it. And it appears in his outbox online. I looked in the syncing sections and under the exchange active sync - which works for his work - there is no hotmail. Except somehow it must sync somehow as it's sending his hotmail fine... :S halp?


text: My day got off to a crappy start but the show must go on right So I swing by the BSS because I was planning on relaxing my hair today. I picked up the Mizani regular since they didn't have the Mizani mild. I was about to check out and go but I stopped to look at some no mix no lye relaxers. I have been researching them for a while now and basically the no mix no-lye relaxers are made with lithium hydroxide. Gentle treatment, cream of nature, revlon, Cantu, Hawaiian silky, they all make one. In terms of professional brands, Vitale Pro has a lithium hydroxide relaxer that I wanted to try as does Epitome. Lithium Hydroxide give the straightening of sodium hydroxide but it isn't as hard on the scalp. It also doesn't give you the same degree of mineral residue like Calcium hydroxide does. According to Vitale pro "Lithium hydroxide is the most reactive (speed of penetration) and has the lowest molecular weight as compared to the other chemicals. Molecular weight is also related to the size of the molecule. The small size of the lithium hydroxide molecule means that it penetrates hair the easiest. The advantage is that a smaller quantity at a lower pH is needed to react efficiently with the hair. A low pH offers a low irritation/no burning effect, however the higher reactivity (penetration) nature of lithium means that it should not be used on hair that is over-porous such as damaged, weak or bleached hair. " I decided to try it out because my scalp has been easily irritated lately and I didn't want to be burning easily and be underprocessed again. I choose the Hawaiian silky one. So I based my scalp as usual with ampro base for sensitive scalp, set my timer and went to work with my sprush. I processed for a total of 15 minutes. I had to do a little corrective work today so I used more relaxer than normal but I still have enough for another touch up. First off it doesn't stink (atleast not this formula). I also didn't get any scalp irritation. I only had one tingle and I didn't get that until I started rinsing. My felt like silk. Very smooth and soft. I also only got 3 shed hairs while rinsing. It straightens quickly and easily. I only smoothed one time. I followed with my usual relaxer steps and I am VERY VERY happy right now. I think I found something that I want to test out a little longer now. I want to go to a stylist for my next relaxer and I will probably take this relaxer with me or see if they will order the Vitale Pro Tenderheaded Relaxer which is their lithium hydroxide formula. One of the concerns that has been raised before about lithium hydroxide relaxers is if the molecule can penetrate the scalp too much but I haven't found any research that supports that. If you are satisfied with your relaxer then cool, I am not posting this to discourage people from using something that works but I will say that if you are one of those sensitive scalp ladies that is having problems with irritation from lye relaxers or is missing the smoothness and silky feeling that regular no lye can sometimes lack, then you might want to look into this as a possible alternative. If I find anymore info about lithium hydroxide, I will add it here.

Here we are!
We are a family of six who, by the Blessing and Mercy of Allah, moved to Madinah Munawwarah on October 19th, 2009. Here we are, 5 months later, finding our feet and just starting to get around a bit.
We struggled to find information on life here prior to coming. In fact, it was through a few blogs and some friends that we managed to get what limited information we had when we arrived. No question, it would have been a huge help and preparation if we had known more before coming. So, here it is...the blog on living in Madinah to assist anyone who is trying to find out more specific details. We had to find an apartment, we had to buy a vehicle, we had to seek out healthy foods, clothes, household items, etc. This has put us in a position to inform others of the reality of this blessed place.
If you have questions, please don't hesistate to ask and we will do our best to answer. I will say that we are not immigration specialists. We went through a messy procedure to get our visas and had to sweat and struggle at Jeddah airport to enter the country and transfer flights to get to Madinah. We do not know all the ins and outs of visit visas or how different companies do things, etc. However, if you want to know about housing, cost of living, what to expect, and other things pertaining to moving and living here, then ask away.

assalamualakum sister, i can't beleive i found your wonderful blog, by the mercy of allah for sure. the last couple of days me and my family have been discussing movind to saudi arabia, but my dear sister i don't even know where to start finding out! so i start with you inshallah! what king of qualification would we need if any? to enter the country? how do we go about finding what kind of visa i need? and how long do they give you visa for?ReplyDelete
Wa alaykum as salaam wa Rahmat Allah wa Barakatuh.ReplyDelete
Subhaan Allah! I have been totally neglectful of this blog and I just happened to notice that you posted a comment! In fact, I think I must change my settings so I am notified of what happens here, LOL!
Okay, what I will do is write a post to answer your questions about qualifications to get work here, etc. Give me this day to put it together inshaa'Allah, as I'm homeschooling and juggling a load of other things at the same time... typical!

Asalamu alaikum Warahmatullahi WabarakatuhReplyDelete
I'm very happy to find your useful blog.
May Allah reward you with Paradise... Ameen
I would like to consult with you.. if you could advise me where to start.
I live with my husband and we have a child... we would like to migrate to Madinah and live in there in order to increase our iman and also to seek islamic knowledge. But what it is, we don't know if the givernment would let us in to the country for living or does they ask you for any high certificates or not? could you please give me some information on migrating to Madinah.

December Home Sales Rebound, End Year Strong
RE/MAX National Housing Report on MLS Data from 53 Metro Areas
DENVER, Jan. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- After two consecutive months with falling home sales, December roared back with 6.1% more sales than one year ago. On a month-over-month basis, December sales were much higher than expected at 22.5%. In all of 2015, nine months saw home sales higher than the same month one year ago. December appeared to continue the trend of moderating home prices, with a year-over year gain of 5.3% while the 2015 average was 7.6%. The median price of all homes sold in December was $206,000. The inventory of homes for sale remains very tight in many metros across the country, at a level that is 14.2% lower than December 2014. At the rate of home sales in December, the national Months Supply of Inventory was 4.9, down from 5.7 one year ago. For this month's housing report infographic, visit http://rem.ax/1nwwSQW.
"It's possible that the TRID closing rule implementation caused November transactions to dip lower than normal, but now we see December bouncing back much stronger than the seasonal average. Perhaps many closings were simply pushed forward a month. But it's nice to see the year end on an upbeat note, with sales significantly greater than the previous year. Overall, 2015 goes into the record books as a very good year for residential real estate," said Dave Liniger, RE/MAX CEO, Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder.
"2015 bookends with the same story we've heard throughout the year - a housing supply that trails the demand, continuing to push values higher," added Quicken Loans Chief Economist Bob Walters. "The market could benefit from homeowners taking advantage of the equity they are building, and make their home available to the many eager buyers. This could give buyers a chance to find the home they have been waiting for."
Closed Transactions – Year-over-year change
In the 53 metro areas surveyed in December, the average number of home sales increased 22.5% from sales in November, and were also 6.1% higher than the number of sales one year ago. Since January, year-over-year sales have increased an average of 4.8% each month. For the last eight years, the average seasonal increase in sales from November to December has been 6.9%. This December's month-over month increase was nearly four times that amount. In December, 43 of the 53 metro areas surveyed reported higher sales on a year-over-year basis with 14 experiencing double-digit increases, such as Boise, ID +23.8%, Manchester, NH +22.9%, Las Vegas, NV +18.7%, Albuquerque, NM +18.3%, St. Louis, MO +14.3% and Portland, OR +13.9%.
Median Sales Price
The Median Sales Price for all homes sold in the month of December was $206,000, up 2.0% from November.
On a year-over-year basis, the Median Sales Price has now risen for 47 consecutive months, but December's increase of 5.3% is less than the average of 7.6% for each month in 2015. Even though prices have been moderating, a low inventory supply continues to pressure prices. Among the 53 metro areas surveyed in November, 47 reported higher prices than last year with 12 rising by double-digit percentages. Metropolitan areas with the highest percentage increases are Des Moines, IA +19.7%, Fargo, ND +19.3%, Nashville, TN +14.6%, San Francisco, CA +14.4%, Orlando, FL +12.2% and Omaha, NE +11.8%.
Days on Market – Average of 53 metro areas
In December, the average Days on Market for all homes sold was 67, up 2 days from the average in November, but 6 days lower than the average in December 2014. December becomes the 33rd consecutive month with a Days on Market average of 80 or less. In the two markets with the lowest inventory supply, San Francisco and Denver, Days on Market was 32 and 35 respectively. Only three metro areas had a Days on Market average of 100 or greater, Des Moines, IA 101, Chicago, IL 110 and Augusta, ME with a 145-day average. Days on Market is the number of days between when a home is first listed in an MLS and a sales contract is signed.
Months Supply of Inventory – Average of 53 metro areas
The number of homes for sale in December was 12.5% less than in November and 14.2% less than in December last year. The average loss of inventory on a year-over-year basis for 2015 was 12.2%. Based on the rate of home sales in December, the Months Supply of Inventory was 4.9, about the same as the 5.0 average in November, but lower than the 5.7 average in December of 2014. A 6.0 Months Supply indicates a market balanced equally between buyers and sellers. The highest month supply was seen in Augusta, ME at 14.1. Three metros had a supply less than 2 months, San Francisco with 1.1, Denver, CO 1.8 and Seattle at 1.9.

The RE/MAX National Housing Report is distributed each month on or about the 15th. The first Report was distributed in August 2008. The Report is based on MLS data in approximately 53 metropolitan areas, includes all residential property types, and is not annualized. For maximum representation, many of the largest metro areas in the country are represented, and an attempt is made to include at least one metro from each state. Metro area definitions include the specific counties established by the U.S. Government's Office of Management and Budget, with some exceptions.
Transactions are the total number of closed residential transactions during the given month. Month's Supply of Inventory is the total number of residential properties listed for sale at the end of the month (current inventory) divided by the number of sales contracts signed (pended) during the month. Where "pended" data is unavailable, this calculation is made using closed transactions. Days on Market is the number of days that pass from the time a property is listed until the property goes under contract for all residential properties sold during the month. Median Sales Price is the median price of all residential properties sold during the month.
MLS data is provided by contracted data aggregators, RE/MAX brokerages and regional offices. While MLS data is believed to be accurate, it cannot be guaranteed. MLS data is constantly being updated, making any analysis a snapshot at a particular time. Every month the RE/MAX National Housing Report re-calculates the previous period's data to ensure accuracy over time. All raw data remains the intellectual property of each local MLS organization.

|Quoting FlyAA757 (Thread starter):
based on DL flight schedules, this seems to becoming a reality
|Quoting FlyAA757 (Thread starter):
Look @ 12/7/12 as a date...there are 16 aircraft in the fleet. Here's what I can find in the schedule...this can be done with 3 aircraft.
ATL-LAX 1 r/t
ATL-SFO 1 r/t
DTW-LAX 2 r/t
MSP-LAX 1 r/t
|Quoting DeltAirlines (Reply 3):
You're not looking at the schedule enough.
|Quoting AeroWesty (Reply 2):
This is August, and DL often loads equipment changes much closer to actual flight dates.
|Quoting FlyAA757 (Reply 5):
I am...I am getting this from the latest version of the DL electronic schedule, downloaded this am.
Forget December...look at January. There are nearly zero 763A flights loaded...most days this spring/summer has had 5x/day 76A on ATL-LAX, 2-3 on ATL-SFO, 3-4 on ATL-SLC.
|Quoting FlyAA757 (Thread starter):
ATL-SLC-HNL 763A is turning into a 76ER
|Quoting FlyAA757 (Thread starter):
ATL-LAX 1 r/t
|Quoting FlyAA757 (Thread starter):
763As are disappearing from SAN, SJU, SEA
|Quoting FlyASAGuy2005 (Reply 9):
Quoting FlyAA757 (Thread starter):
ATL-SLC-HNL 763A is turning into a 76ER
Reverts back to a 76Q on 12/15...
|Quoting FlyASAGuy2005 (Reply 9):
Quoting FlyAA757 (Thread starter):
ATL-LAX 1 r/t
-HOWVER, LAX-ATL on the same day is 3x 76Qs... DL 1754/1454/1254
-On 12/15 (DL's next big schedule change) LAX-ATL goes to 4x 76Qs... DL 1765/1654/1354/1254
|Quoting DeltAirlines (Reply 8):
Ok...SEA: SEA-ATL 1x 76Q on 12/7 DL 1962. On 12/15 the 76Q moves to DL 968.
MSP-LAX only gets one way 76Q service (like SEA-ATL).
|Quoting FlyASAGuy2005 (Reply 9):
Coupled with the fact that the TATL schedule takes a huge blow during the winter, there are more ERs than DL know what to do with and thus they're a little more flexible with putting them on domestic turns where they'd idle anyway. Some, especially out of ATL would sit for up to 3 days between flights. The Delta North ramp is usually a parking lot for widebodies in the winter.
|Quoting FlyASAGuy2005 (Reply 9):
Some will say how is this possible ("not even finalized until a little over a month out"). Domestic sales usually spike and finalize 2-3 weeks before departure date. It's about a 20 day window. Here's an example. For 8/27, DTW-LAX is sitting at about 40% booked for the 6 departures. DTW-LAX on a Monday?? Please. By the 22nd, I guarantee you that it'll be at least 80% if not scraping 90 as it always is every single Monday. My point is that close-in schedule updates is not uncommon because it really doesn't affect bookings that much.
|Quoting FlyAA757 (Reply 10):
Actually, I think the schedule is just jacked up. ATL-SLC still shows as a 76ER, with SLC-HNL showing 76A. They aren't going to leave a ER in SLC on the ground for 22 hours.
|Quoting FlyAA757 (Reply 10):
Where are the birds coming from?
|Quoting FlyAA757 (Thread starter):
SFO, SEA, SLC all seeing 76ERs from ATL.
|Quoting nwa757boy (Reply 12):
The slack in the 76A schedule also provides flexibility in the schedule. I have worked the last ATL-JFK flight many times and a handful of times it is upgauged from a 757 to a 76Q
|Quoting FlyASAGuy2005 (Reply 13):
|Quoting seabosdca (Reply 7):
The 763As will be replaced by 739ERs, which will happen gradually over the next few years.
|Quoting B757forever (Reply 16):
|Quoting B757forever (Reply 16):
|Quoting FlyAA757 (Reply 15):
Just checked the timings - SLCHNL arrives into HNL too late to do anything but turn back around to SLC.
All 3 other departures(LAX/NGO/FUK) leave before the inbound arrives. Same goes for the occasional ER to NRT.
|Quoting B757forever (Reply 16):
The direct 767A replacement will be the 757-300 aircraft which are planned for a cabin upgrade and winglets before being moved into that role. The 737-900ER will provide the additional capacity to free up the 757-300 to make that move. We will see this start happening in the 2014-2015 time frame
|Quoting B757forever (Reply 16):
The direct 767A replacement will be the 757-300 aircraft which are planned for a cabin upgrade and winglets before being moved into that role.
|Quoting FlyASAGuy2005 (Reply 14):
They can easily sneak in some turns to BOS/LGA/MCO/FLL/TPA/PHX if they wanted to but they dont.
|Quoting FlyASAGuy2005 (Reply 9):
Reverts back to a 76Q on 12/15...
|Quoting seabosdca (Reply 20):
I suspect this is only partly true. If they pull the 757-300s currently doing Hawaii off the Hawaii routes (or at least off enough of them so they are only replacing the four ETOPS 763As), they won't have a suitable replacement. The 739ER is range-challenged on many of those routes and there are not many extra ETOPS 752s, or any ETOPS 738s.
|Quoting DeltaL1011man (Reply 22):
I wouldn't expect the 4 ETOPS 76As to be parked anytime soon. They are only 10-14 years old.
|Quoting DeltaL1011man (Reply 22):
shouldn't the HNL turn be a 76P?
|Quoting DeltaL1011man (Reply 22):
I wouldn't expect the 4 ETOPS 76As to be parked anytime soon. They are only 10-14 years old.
|Quoting FlyASAGuy2005 (Reply 26):
And the only ones that they actually own.
|Quoting 1337Delta764 (Reply 27):
Actually, DL bought all the currently active 763As from the lessors.
|Quoting 1337Delta764 (Reply 19):
So, is AVOD planned for the 753 fleet?
|Quoting B757forever (Reply 29):
It is my understanding they will get a fresh interior and a seat density mod to include the standard DL colors, slim-line seats and AVOD. The current total seating capacity of 224 will increase to either 230 or 236.
|Quoting FlyASAGuy2005 (Reply 30):
If they move forward with what was announced almost 2 years ago for the 57s, the front cabin should be able to increase to 28 and I guess Y will get the extra seats through the slim-line layout.
|Quoting B757forever (Reply 25):
Correct. Not only are they younger but they are PW4000 powered aircraft (common to roughly half the ER fleet) and the other much older 767A aircraft have GE CF6-80A engines. DL is wanting to get out of the CF6-80A as it is getting expensive to maintain this small group of engines.
|Quoting xdlx (Reply 23):
|Quoting PSU.DTW.SCE (Reply 24):
|Quoting DeltaL1011man (Reply 31):
and I think(being to lazy to look it up) are the same engine (ie PW4060)
|Quoting seabosdca (Reply 20):
The 739ER is range-challenged on many of those routes and there are not many extra ETOPS 752s, or any ETOPS 738s.
|Quoting 1337Delta764 (Reply 27):
Actually, DL bought all the currently active 763As from the lessors.
|Quoting FlyASAGuy2005 (Reply 32):
Only real challenge being SLC-HNL. ATL-HNL will continue to be flown on a widebody. SEA-HNL, LAX-HNL, LAX-OGG/KOA (currently on 75Vs).
|Quoting seabosdca (Reply 35):
That was not CO/UA's experience. They tried to use 739ERs from LAX and repeatedly ran into restrictions and range issues. SFO is marginally shorter, but SEA is longer. UA is now using 738s instead. I'm not sure why DL would have different results, but DL doesn't have ETOPS 738s to substitute.

What is the design style of The Inn of the Five Graces?
Answers from Our Experts (1)
The Inn of the Five Graces has a decidedly eclectic style, combining Persian, Indian, Tibetan, Uzbek and other Eastern architectural elements and antiques with classic Santa Fe adobe construction. The effect is organic, warm and luxurious, and almost every inch of the Inn's 25 rooms has been handmade in some way. Embroidered silk covers flat-screen TVs when not in use so they don't distract from the art that surrounds them. Wooden doors and trim are hand-carved, and owner Sylvia Seret has created intricate tile mosaics in every bathroom. Each room has a fireplace stocked with fragrant piñon wood. Outside, hidden courtyards are favorite respites to enjoy the mild Santa Fe evenings.

The mall culture has become a big business, as they have become multi-story structures that house a large number of shops selling various products and services. They are a collection of shops and restaurants, adjacent to the pedestrian zone or an exclusive pedestrian street. In 1928, The Arcade in Providence, Rhode Island was the first to introduce the concept of a shopping center in the United States. However, the concept was not new, if one takes into account the cover, multi-vendor commercial Isfahan, Iran Grand Bazaar in the 10th century.
In this article, we will be talking about the advantages and disadvantages of shopping centers/malls as from visitors perspective and a business perspective. We will also leave a link to the continuation of the article to help you to understand deeply. So here are Advantages & Disadvantages of Shopping Centers:
Availability of parking
Parking is one of the main problems of the people who go to the city to buy. Buying in malls eliminates this problem because parking is offered for free or for a nominal fee. Shopping malls incorporate ample parking in its design and construction. This makes it advantageous for people who choose to shop there instead of a single store. Families who decide to visit a shopping mall on the weekend or on a holiday for a family outing is because it is a more convenient option especially because parking is provided.
A stop at the shopping and entertainment
Visiting a mall is advantageous because the shops are housed in a complex. Groceries, clothes, shoes, reading material, food courts, cinemas, and entertainment are available in one place. You can spend a whole day at the mall, shop, dine, watch a movie or play games. They are great meeting places for friends to catch up over coffee or a meal in the food court. Families arrive for their weekly shopping, collecting junk and keep the kids entertained at the mall.
Disadvantages mall
One of the main disadvantages of the malls is drawbacks. These include overcrowding, especially on weekends and holidays. Sometimes it seems that everyone has the same idea and go to the mall. The corridors and crowded stores make shopping very difficult, people often end up forgetting the items they need to buy. Older people with mobility problems may have difficulty passing through the shopping center, due to the breadth of the place. Parking can also be a problem when the mall is very busy.
Shopping malls are a waste of resources
The malls have a large number of products and services. It is not always easy to go to a mall and leave with only what you came to buy. The temptation to see is always present and often leads to buying things that are not necessary. Keeping a monthly budget is becoming increasingly difficult to go to the mall. With all sales and specials designed to tempt buyers, say "no" becomes very difficult.
We invite you to leave a comment and share your thoughts on this subject.

The story of First Baptist Church in Augusta is a story that is seen in thousands of faces and heard in thousands of voices. Over the course of two hundred years, people have served, given, sacrificed, prayed, laughed, cried, worshiped, ministered, hoped, forgiven, blessed, comforted, and formed Christian community together as the people of God known as First Baptist Church. What a story! What a legacy that is left to us from those who have come before us!
One way to hear this story is through the voice of the pastors who have served this church. From the pioneering voice of William Theophilus Brantly, who served as the first pastor of the church, to the yet-unnamed voice of a new pastor, First Baptist Church has been blessed by the ministry of outstanding pastors. Their voices make up a part of the story of the church.
Four of these former pastors are still living, and this Sunday you have a chance to hear from each one in both worship services. Jack Robinson (Pastor from 1953-1974) and Chuck Bugg (Pastor from 1982-1989) will speak to us through video. Tim Owings (Pastor from 1990-2003) and Greg DeLoach (2005-2015) will be present in worship to speak to us. Through the voices of these four men the church can hear again the story of ministry through the life of First Baptist Church. It promises to be a most exciting day of worship. I hope that you will be present this Sunday at 8:30 or at 11:00.
I count each one of these men as friends. I have known Chuck Bugg the longest, going back to my days in elementary school when he was a seminary student coaching YMCA ball at my school. Tim Owings and I became friends during our days together in seminary. Over the past decade, Greg and I have grown in friendship through various connections in the network of Baptist pastoral ministry. And Jack Robinson is my newest friend, whom I met on my first day of preaching in August. I have been grateful for his faithful attendance in worship each week and his continued support of my ministry among you. My life has been enriched because I have known these four pastors as friends.
They have a story to tell. I hope that you will be in worship this Sunday to hear them as our Bicentennial celebration continues.

Burges Salmon has reported a £5m increase in net funds for the 2012/13 financial year, with profit and turnover both rising despite the cost of new London offices.
The firm's LLP accounts showed an increase in net funds from £13m in 2011/12 to £18.2m last year, as well as confirming the firm's 3.8 per cent turnover rise from £71m to £73.7m (26 July 2013). Net profit for the LLP rose by 6.4 per cent, from £24.9m to £26.5m.
Burges Salmon increased its provision for the reinstatement of fixed assets by £400,000 during the year, due to the unwinding of a discount on existing provisions and the creation of a new provision for its New Street Square office in London. The firm has no bank borrowings.
The accounts also show that the highest profit share paid to a partner last year was £510,000, up 2.6 per cent from £497,000 the previous year. However the average profit per member dropped by 2.2 per cent, from £371,000 in 2011/12 to £363,000 last year.
There was a bigger fall in the average pay for salaried LLP members. Their pay dropped from £323,000 in 2011/12 to £267,000 in 2012/13, a fall of 17.7 per cent. Information provided by Burges Salmon for The Lawyer UK200 2013 shows that the number of salaried partners at the firm rose from 13 in 2011/12 to 19 last year, while the number of equity partners increased from 54 to 56.
Overall, staff numbers at Burges Salmon rose by six in 2012/13 compared to the previous year, nudging above 500 people to 503. Staff costs went up by 3 per cent, from £25.1m to £25.9m. s

Dang..you are not going to believe this, but I meant Steel Magnolias....I really did!!! I guess I got the title wrong because Bette Midler plays in both of them, right. Yep, Steel Magnolias takes place in Natchitoches...here in Louisiana. It is a beautiful place. They really do have a lot of gatherings right in downtown on that hill like they did at the end of the movie....right by the bridge that the coupe drove over on the motorcycle at the end of the movie.
No, mine isn't "You've Got Mail". It is more recent than that. It actually seems like a low budget movie that for some reason MADE IT. There are a lot of 80's references...just a classic. However, you either LOVE it or HATE it. I happen to l love it. I knew from the beginning of the movie when the main character got on the schoolbus with the awful music playing and tied his action figure to a string and threw it out the bus window to watch it drag all the way to school that I was going to like it.

LTE Radios in 'Next-Gen' Devices will come with VoLTE and Reduce Power Consumption by 50%
When it comes to our smartphones our biggest complaint is that the battery life is not enough for some of our needs. If only manufacturers could master the battery and make it last longer our lives would be better, right? Well ST-Ericsson may have a solution!
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
Yesterday, they released details through a PDF on VoLTE with "Next-Generation" device radios and how it could save our power consumption. The new VoLTE technology is "targeted toward CDMA+LTE carriers." For those of you who may not know what carriers those are, it would be MetroPCS, Verizon, and Sprint.
One of the biggest issues with LTE currently is the fact the radio doesn't do what is called a "dual-mode operation" where the both the "1X Voice and LTE data" connect. Instead they must go back and "forth between CDMA 1X and LTE" and the end result is that it drains the battery in the process. Why does this happen? CDMA2000 networks aren't provided with "simultaneous voice and data (SV-LTE and SV-DO), and this in the end strains our battery performance
What are ST-Ericsson's plans on improving this issue? Since most devices have to "run separate hardware and software systems" Ericsson would like to implement VoLTE to be "entirely" dealt within the "application processing realm." This means there wouldn't be an "application processor" and then a "modem processor" which is used for the radio processes, and "multimedia encoding/decoding."
VoLTE and WCDMA is a technology that was introduced to us last year by Qualcomm and Ericsson in February, with a video a month later by LG showing off "Video calling over LTE using the same system that uses voice over LTE uses." MetroPCS followed suite by deploying VoLTE technology in Dallas, Texas and has started to incorporate their devices with the needed hardware for VoLTE.
Ericsson goes on to explain this process even further, but we will leave this for the real device gurus to look into and read for themselves in the PDF provided below, since there are a lot of things involved in this that many may not understand. In the end VoLTE is said to improve our power consumption by 50%, which would be a significant save on the battery.
Soon VoLTE will be the next 'big thing.' The main contenders for this technology will be MectroPCS who have already started deploying VoLTE, and then Verizon Wireless because they realize soon that devices in the future with LTE may not be able to use the CDMA2000 network. Another big suggestion made was that those who are not able to get 3G network will have a great opportunity here to make the switch "to LTE completely."
Now I know this may be a lot to take in, and if you don't understand please don't try as it can be some complicated stuff if you do not understand the mobile technology area. Being an IT graduate, I can understand this, but I will say from experience, that it wasn't something I got right away. It took some time to understand with lots of research and reading and I still only understand the basics.
What I can tell you is this could be a great technology, but that is what they said about LTE, so I am slightly skeptical.
Has anyone heard of the VoLTE technology? Is there anyone excited to see this switch to help improve battery life? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

State Panel Recommends Single Board to Oversee Louisiana Colleges
Louisiana has a committee that is studying the future of higher education in the state. But as that panel is just beginning its work, another state commission is weighing in, reviving the long-debated idea of having all public colleges in the state overseen by one governing board, The Advocate of Baton Rouge reported. The recommendation came Monday from a group advising the state's Commission on Streamlining Government, which is studying ways to make the state's operations more cost effective and efficient given a certain decline in state revenues through 2012. The panel was generally supposed to focus on areas other than higher education, given the work being done at the same time by the Postsecondary Education Review Committee established by Gov. Bobby Jindal. But that didn't stop members of the streamlining panel's advisory group on efficiency and benchmarking, including former Gov. Buddy Roemer, to propose that all colleges in the state report to the Louisiana Board of Regents, which now coordinates the work of public colleges but does not govern them. Louisiana's colleges are governed by Louisiana State University Board of Supervisors, the Southern University Board of Supervisors, the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System, and the Louisiana Community and Technical College Board.

There's a party in the rear, and it's a real blowout! In 'The Ass Party 6,' over at veteran director Joey Silvera's place, his gorgeous cast eagerly performs twisted acts of lustful anal depravity in six outrageously perverted vignettes. First, all-natural brunette Savannah Fox takes Billy Glide's massive member up her tight butt while buzzing her pussy with a vibrating wand. She sucks cock ass-to-mouth and opens wide for a messy cum shot. Young European knockout Valentina Nappi enjoys a three-way session of nasty anal therapy courtesy of lovely Doctor of Assology Sarah Shevon and her male assistant. Sexy brunette Alana Rains seductively puffs on a cigarillo until Dana DeArmond takes charge, probing and stretching Alana's sphincter. Muscular Jordan Ash ravages both ladies, and after Dana's wrecked her own rectum with a baseball bat (!), she and Alana share a messy load of cum. Alana even gives the director a smoking, POV-style knob job!

How do you know there are gaps? If you are doing something like this:
SELECT myseq.NEXTVAL FROM dual;
to find out what "the next value" will be, you are actually incrementing the sequence.

Re: sequence
Sequences deliberately allow gaps, because in a multi-user database attempting to avoid gaps in numbering is:
a) a performance killer,
b) effectively impossible
Imagine a simple system with just 2 users, with a "guaranteed gap-free" sequence (if such existed) that currently stands at value 123.
User1> get and use next sequence value - 124
User2> get and use next sequence value - 125
User1> rollback
User2> commit
Now there is a gap, because User1 obtained value 124 but then "wasted" it. OK, so maybe we should "lock" the sequence to prevent that happening?
User1> get and use next sequence value - 124
User2> ask for next sequence value - WAIT....
User1> rollback - unused number 124 "returned to sequence"
User2> ...get and use next sequence value - 124
Now we have no gap, but we have "serialized" the sequence - while one user is using it, everyone else waits and waits...
Given that for these reasons sequences are definitely not gap-free anyway, further advantage is then taken of this to improve performance by caching sequence values. Typically, when user1 gets a sequence number for the first time, he is actually allocated a cache of say 20 numbers e.g. 101-120 to use or not. User 2 will then get 121-140 and so on. Of course, User1 may only use 1 of these numbers, leaving a gap of 19 values.Tony Andrews

Tony is correct.
Expecting gapless sequences is unrealistic.
Just consider that oracle caches sequences
(so they are ready to be used when you need them).
You will lose the cached sequences as a gap every time the db is shutdown.- The_Duck
you can lead someone to something but they will never learn anything ...

This Tatra T600 looks a little bit rough around the edges (and it is a little bit rough around the edges), but we don't think it's anywhere near too far gone.
Buy this Tatra T600 Tatraplan for cancer research
February 3, 2014
The rear-boxer engine-powered Tatra T600 Tatraplan was a highly influential, undeniably cool car, but as a luxury vehicle designed and built behind the Iron Curtain, it didn't really see large-scale production. Just 6,342 are reported to have been produced; few have survived to the present.
That doesn't mean the oddball streamliners don't pop up for sale from time to time: recently, a pair showed up on Bring a Trailer, and RM Auctions sold a restored example a few years back for a tidy sum.
The 1950 T600 seen here isn't anywhere near as nice as the RM lot, but it has the distinct advantage, for American collectors, at least, of not being in Poland (as that more recent duo was). And if that wasn't enough, it was donated through the American Cancer Society Cars for a Cure vehicle donation program, so proceeds from the sale are going to a worthy cause.
That rear fin would never get old, and rear visibility is for people who aren't always driving forward -- for people would aren't Tatra T600 drivers.
Sure, the T600 isn't much to look at right now, but we're thinking that this might be a case where first glances are deceiving. While a casual observer might see a stripped-out hulk bound for the scrap heap, we're seeing remarkably solid sheetmetal both inside and out. Trim is absent, which is troubling (though the car's shape really shines through when stripped of adornments). It might all be there, though -- there's an unexplained pile of parts that seems to include headlight surrounds and other shiny bits.
Surprisingly, Tatra part's aren't as unavailable as you might expect.
On top of all that, the bleak, wintry backdrop doesn't help sell the package. We're guessing the Tatra hasn't spent much of its life outside; its current owner/donor reportedly stored it in a garage, and there'd be telltale rust on every surface (as opposed to the mild surface oxidation seen here) if he were lying. Assume that everything needs a complete teardown, including that engine -- and don't look at us when it comes time to find parts.
Still, you can get anything on the Internet, so it's no surprise that getting a T600 oil cooler is a snap.
These aren't just scraps -- they're <i>Tatra T600 scraps</i>.
So look beyond the muddy parking lot and see what could be a very rewarding, if extremely challenging, restoration project involving a very unique classic. Imagine cruising around in an increasingly desirable, increasingly valuable art deco oddity; that should help pull you through the inevitable rough patches and make dealing with the customs officials holding up the delivery of your T600 mudflaps bearable. Worst case scenario, you end up with an interesting conversation piece in your garage -- a conversation piece you could probably sell, for a profit, to some Tatra-head in a few years. And you'll have supported the American Cancer Society either way.
Get more information on the car here, and head to the auction site to bid. The virtual hammer falls on Feb. 7.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: what is causing my battery to drain if i don't drive it? on 1997 Mazda Miata MX-5
i've replaced the battery at least 4 times since 2007. if i don't drive the car for at least a week the battery is dead, and can't be recharged. i've been told it is not the alternator but a short somewhere. what is causing a short and how do you isolate it and fix it.
The easiest way to check for a "battery drain" is to disconnect the negative battery terminal and connect a test light between the terminal and the cable. Do this with the key off. If the light lights you have a drain. To isolate you start taking one fuse out at a time .When the light goes out that is the circuit that is causing the drain. You will have to refer to a wiring diagram to see what is in that circuit to isolate the cause
The term 'short' is very general. It can be many different things causing a power drain. The best way to find what is causing it is to have an ampmeter and correct wiring diagrams. It could be as simple as the trunk light staying on , or a faulty relay stuck on. Proper circuit info (including description of how the circuit operates) is key , to avoid a lot of guessing and extra work.

Then we moved on to 6.0 for Windows (strange), and 2.1 (I think it was 2.1, unless it was 2.2; things are getting fuzzy) for the Mac--that was my first Mac version.

a middle class lifestyle?

EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION! Stop expecting those who can't even afford to educate themselves to be able to turn into thriving middle class. Education is a MUST! Education has been proven time and time again to reduce dependency on welfare and other government funded programs.
Education is by far not an end all type fix, but it would certainly put a dent in the problem. It's also amazing for teaching self responsibility.

The staff is always friendly and helpful, the store is always clean, the layout is very easy to navigate, and the selection is great.
Frequently introduces new items as well, and the salad bar is the best! (that is, of all the Whole Food Markets in the Philadelphia area...)
The only reason I did not rate them as being excellent is because I favor the locations on South St. and the Art Museum a little more due to their atmospheres and youthful vibes, and the South St. location has a much wider selection of baked vegan goods.
Overall, still one of the best locations in the Philly area!

Product Description
Latex gloves: they're a pain aren't they? Why is it every time you need to wear them, they suddenly become more impossible than a Rubik's cube? Take the fuss out of foreplay with these individual latex finger cots that cover each digit with glorious ease.
We've all been there; that brain-hurting, finger-mashing (and somewhat embarrassing) moment when you simply CANNOT get a glove on your hand. You're SURE it had 5 fingers, and last time you checked so did you, so what. is. happening?!
Unlike fiddly gloves these singular latex finger covers roll on with ease and measure 3 inches in length and 1.2 inches in width (when un-stretched flat on a table) and stretch to accommodate most finger sizes.
Once on, they provide a medical-grade barrier that won't leave you with clammy hands (or questioning how many fingers you have!) that's safe with water-based lube and perfect for all sorts of intimate exploration.
Key Features:
- Pack of 144 (approx) latex finger cots for safe, intimate exploration
- Large size and stretchy latex fits most fingers (like a glove?)
- Blue latex is perfect for enhancing medical role play fantasies
- Can also be used to cover bullets and smaller toys
- Easy to slip on and off (and won't leave you with clammy hands!)

Calapro Latex Finger Cots (144 Pack)
Very useful to have on your hands
Reviewed: 15 August 2017 by Hands All Over, a Bisexual Single Female
The first time I experimented with putting a finger up my butt it honestly did feel really good but afterwards, I had a hard time trying to wash the smell of my finger and so I never did it again. Fast forward a few years later to where I wanted to try a butt plug and bought one only to then realize that I would, of course, have to prepare myself first using, yep, my fingers. Luckily for me, this all happened right when Lovehoney started stocking these finger cots so of course, I ordered a pack with the next purchase I made. Finally, I was ready to start trying anal play again!
I'll be honest with you: these finger cots are truly the best thing since sliced bread! They are extremely easy to roll on and not only do they keep your fingers clean, you also do not risk damaging any tissue with your finger nails when you use them. Take note though that these cots are slightly powdered and do not have any lube of their own so you do need to lube them up. I personally like to use them in combination with my Sassy Sliquid lube but you can of course also use a different brand of water-based lube. When you're done using them simply grab them by the base and then you can pull them off inside-out. Easy peasy!
Not interested in anal play? You can also use these finger cots in other ways, such as covering a bullet vibrator with them. Or if you want to switch things up a bit then you could also use them as an accessory for a medical themed role play. I find that the blue colour of the finger cots is actually very fitting for this. Just grab yourself a doctor and/or nurse uniform and you're good to go! Or maybe you're more into some sci-fi alien probing? Whatever it is that floats your boat, I'm sure you can put these finger cots to good use!
With approximately 144 finger cots in one pack I won't need to buy another pack very soon but once my pack is empty then I will surely order another one! My only leftover wish for these fingers cots would be that Lovehoney could start stocking these in a smaller size as well as my hands are quite tiny which means that if I use them myself then I do always worry a bit that they'll slip off. Still, they are a great product and I am glad that they exist!
- Pros
- Easy to use and one pack can last a long time.
- Cons
- They are a bit too big for my tiny fingers.
- Bottom line
- If you want to do anal play then these finger cots are your absolute friend!

So many uses
Reviewed: 1 July 2017 by Peggy3rdleg
The box is simple and I look forward to knowing I can recycle it when it's empty.
They fit my fingers well, loose with a gently snug ring. Room to spare for larger hands (mine fit a small-medium rubber glove). I got them for play as well as practical use. I like that they cover a finger without needing to waste an entire glove. I have some in my first aid kit, more in my larger bandage box and more in the bedroom for playtime. We used to have similar at a workplace for to cover a bandage so I am planning to send some to work with my roommate in case anyone cuts themselves.
I like to keep my fingernails long and natural and they tend to get sharp. These help protect others from my nails as I like to get my fingers inside a tight hole. Another thing to note on that topic, they do block some sensation like you'd expect but I am still able to feel to some degree.
- Pros
- Fit without being too big or small.
- Cons
- A bit of dust cloud upon opening, nothing major.
- Bottom line
- Great thing for so many uses.

Essential for Anal
Reviewed: 4 May 2017 by StHubbins, a Straight Married Male
Having a latex covering over your fingers is essential for anal play. Even if there doesn't appear to be anything on your fingers, there are germs that must not end up in a vagina. There's also the advantage that the latex smooths everything out, so no sharp nail problems.
Before we discovered these we used latex gloves. The gloves worked okay but were a bit tricky to get on, never fitted quite right and most of the glove wasn't necessary.
The finger cots have all of the advantages of gloves, but none of the disadvantages. They're really easy to roll on your finger (or fingers), they fit really well (I have large hands, but I imagine these would fit almost anyone), they're easy to take off, and you get enough to last years and years.
A pack of these and some anal lube and you're ready to go.
- Pros
- Fit, cost and ease of use.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Essential for anal play.

Does Shopping Make You More Orgasmic?
Studies show that getting a fantastic deal or buying something special makes people happy; especially women. It tends to release endorphins, increase your moods and put an extra skip in your step. This leads me to wonder if it also has any correlation to making you horny, baby. What do you think?

Research Institution
AbstractNASA is committed to measuring precipitation on a global scale. In 1997, NASA launched the Tropical Rain Measuring Mission which carried the first spaceborne precipitation radar (PR). Operating at 13.8 GHz, the PR demonstrated the potential of spaceborne radars to map global precipitation. To improve rainfall estimates, the next generation system being proposed for the NASA Global Precipitation Mission is a dual-wavelength (Ku/Ka-band) precipitation radar (DPR). Operating at Ku and Ka-band, it will yield additional information on the drop size distribution (DSD). Advanced ground-based Ku/Ka-band DPR systems are needed to develop and validate the retrieval algorithms that will be used by GPM. This proposed Phase I effort will investigate the required innovations to design and construct a novel, low-cost, scanning, dual-polarized DPR senor and sensor network. The focus will be on developing a low-cost ruggedized compact antenna, transceiver, power amplifier and real-time processing and communication subsystems. This advanced DPR sensor network will provide unprecedented spatial/temporal sampling and coverage and multiple methods to determine DSD: polarization, differential extinction, multi-look radar measurements of extinction. As a sensor network, limitations due to earth curvature, topography and ground clutter that affect the existing weather radar infrastructure can be overcome.
