If the pet travels with you, it will retain a sense of identity. However, pets can become frightened and bolt away from you out of open doors and windows. Keep your pet on a leash when outside your car or hotel.
Occasionally traveling can upset your pet's stomach. Take along ice cubes, which are easier on your pet than large amounts of water. It is recommended that you keep feeding to a minimum during travel. If you are traveling by car, a light meal for your pet two to three hours before you leave is advised. If you are traveling by air, a light meal four to six hours before departure is recommended. Allow small amounts of water periodically in the hours before the trip.
Whether your pet travels with you or by another means it should wear a special identification tag in addition to its regular one. Write the pet's name, your name, the person to contact at the destination, their phone number, a destination address, or that of a friend or relative, in case you want to be reached.
Rabies vaccinations are a must for all travel abroad. Many airlines also require vaccinations. Check with your vet for the complete range of vaccinations required, and of course, check with the airline and country to which you're heading.
Check the airline's requirements to see if your pet can travel in a carrier that can be kept under a seat in the cabin or must travel by air freight.
Get the pet to the air terminal in time. Get there 45 minutes in advance if the pet is accompanying you. If shipping the pet, get to the flight terminal two hours in advance of your flight.
Medium pets allowed. $50.00 Non refundable free. Max weight - 75lbs.

|jmdns questions
|Sat, 05 Apr 2008 07:47:42 GMT
While reviewing the legal files (LICENSE and NOTICE) for activemq 4.1- SNAPSHOT I discovered that the build depends on and the assembly distributes a jar activemq:jmdns:1.0-RC2:jar. I'm having some trouble figuring out exactly where this came from and what license it might be under. I found that at one point the codehaus activemq project had something related to this... http://fisheye.codehaus.org/browse/maven/repository/activemq/jmdns/ 1.0-RC2 but it doesn't appear to be there now. I found a sourceforge jmdns project http://jmdns.sourceforge.net/ which claims to be lgpl licensed. There's a jmdns:jmdnds:1.0:jar in maven which might be from this project: the class names appear to match. Now if you look at the cvs view of this sourceforge project, there's an apache license and notice file checked into the root. Furthermore the javax.jmdns.* classes indicate in headers that they are apache 2 licensed. However there are some com.strangeberry classes and samples classes that have only a LGPL licence header. The com.strangeberry classes are included in both jars I've found. Furthermore I can't find any evidence that the javax.jmdns classes are part of a java jsr, so I have a hard time believing their use of the javax namespace is, um, legal. So, I see two problems 1. inclusion of lgpl classes in an apache distribution 2. javax namespace with no apparent permission from sun. With this understanding of the situation I'd have a hard time voting anything other than -1 on any release that included one of the existing jmdns jars. Unless there is more to the story than I've found out so far I see two ways to proceed: 1. work with the jmdns project to release a jar that is clearly apache 2 licensed and is ok sun-wise 2. produce our own jar with only the apache licensed jmdns classes under a sun-friendly package name (such as org.apache.activemq.jmdns). I'm interested in getting a 4.1.2 release out ASAP so I'd be happy to set up a module in activemq to do (2) and modify the use of the jmdns classes as appropriate. I could work on (1) as well but think it isn't likely to happen in the next day or so. Thoughts on how to proceed? thanks david jencks

The Measure of One Man
29 December 2006, 16h00 EST (GMT-5)
After an epic struggle with procrastination, I have finally wrestled the last remaining section of my web site into submission. The Projects pages are now fully online, and describe my more committed efforts to give practical application to the ideals I discuss in my blog. Like Gaul, the section is divided into three parts.
The Diplomacy sub-section deals with my undertakings in the international arena, particularly in breaking the Westphalian paradox, where democratic institutions are not powerful and powerful institutions are not democratic.
The Democracy sub-section gives an overview of the high drama (or, perhaps more frequently, the low comedy) of my involvement in Liberal politics in Canada and abroad.
The Diversions sub-section describes some of my sporting and leisure pursuits, which may very well be the most eccentric area of my already discombobulated life
As an adherent of practical idealism, it is my conviction that the measure of a person is not simply his beliefs, but the extent to which his beliefs inspire him to action. I hope that my projects will, howsoever imperfectly, prove worthy of the principles to which I aspire.
Black Pete and the Colours of Christmas
24 December 2006, 11h10 EST (GMT-5)
The Toronto I remember from my childhood seems a radically different place from the metropolis of cosmopolitan society and temperate climate that exists today: the city was almost as uniformly monochromatic as the snowdrifts enveloping it each Christmas. Yet even then, the city was aware of the transformative changes hurrying to it, and to general credit, the vast majority of Torontonians turned towards change with optimism, rather than away from it in fear.
The Christmas season is for me an emblem of Toronto's evolution. Public displays in the staunchly Protestant city first accommodated the subtly differing shades of Roman Catholicism, then exhibited the more variegated hues of Orthodox Catholicism, eventually embraced the contrasting tones of Hanukkah, and ultimately came into the riot of colours of every faith (or lack thereof) imaginable.
Nevertheless, I was recently taken aback when I encountered in Toronto one Dutch Christmas tradition. In the Netherlands, Sinterklaas hails from Spain, travels by steamboat and horseback, and is accompanied by the sidekick Zwarte Piet (Black Pete). To Canadian eyes, it is difficult to look upon typical representations of Black Pete without seeing southern American minstrel shows and British golliwog dolls. Indeed, the character is invariably portrayed by white men and women in blackface.
Dutch culture enjoys a reputation for liberalism, and I suspect that the similarities between Black Pete and Al Jolson are merely cosmetic and implies no consanguinity of attitudes. Still, this is one cultural tradition from which I expect Toronto to shy away.
In a particularly Canadian twist, twenty-first century Toronto will not tolerate even a whiff of intolerance.
Christmas is very much part of my family traditions and culture, as is the desire to share the happiness, fellowship, and hope of the season with others. Whether you celebrate the day or not, I hope it brings you much joy today and for the entire new year.
The Little Campaign that Could
05 December 2006, 04h15 EST (GMT-5)
I am still overwhelmed by the results of the Liberal leadership convention this past weekend. The election of Stéphane Dion has done much to re-animate my faith in the democratic process. Ours was "the little campaign that could," in the kind words of a friend who worked on Michael Ignatieff's bid. It was a quixotic but relentless effort to prove that idealism still has a place in practical politics.
Earlier today, I sent subscribers to my web site a letter of thanks for their participation in the election, following-up my letter of endorsement of last week.
This letter is meant equally for those who supported Stéphane from the first ballot, and those who did not do so even on the last. Stéphane's victory is a victory for the entire Liberal Party because he takes office after a campaign crowded with talent, because the other candidates greeted the results with faultless grace, and because Stéphane can only recognise the political and ethical imperative to rage against any impulse in the campaign team to exercise victor's justice.
I discussed the campaign yesterday on CBC Radio One's Here & Now, and I will do so again on CTS Television's Michael Coren Show today at 18h00 (EST). Please do tune in if you have a moment, and let me know what you think.
02 December 2006, 23h05 EST (GMT-5)
Against all conventional wisdom, Stéphane Dion has won the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada. This is, in my view, a victory not only for him, but also for the politics of principle.
The Liberal Party's enthusiasm for Stéphane Dion struck a blow for those who hold to the ideal of the nobility of public service. It strengthened my faith in democracy's creed, that wisdom lies with the many and not the few. Most importantly, it marked the day the Liberal Party reclaimed its soul.
To those who slur our Party with the unworthy accusation that it is interested in power to the exclusion of principle, Liberals can riposte, with our heads held high, that we are the Party that elected Stéphane Dion.
Now, I am leaving the Palais des congrès in Montréal to return to Toronto, to sleep for a few days!
Dion Surges, Others Stall
02 December 2006, 01h10 EST (GMT-5)
With the first round of voting complete, Stéphane Dion has edged past Gerard Kennedy by the slimmest of margins. Michael Ignatieff remains the clear front runner, but has seen his support slip below the psychological threshold of 30%.
The results at 00h30 on Saturday 02 December are:
Michael Ignatieff: 1412 (29.33%)
Bob Rae: 977 (20.29%)
Stéphane Dion: 856 (17.78%)
Gerard Kennedy: 854 (17.74%)
Ken Dryden: 238 (4.94%)
Scott Brison: 192 (3.99%)
Joe Volpe: 156 (3.24%)
Martha Hall Findlay: 130 (2.70%)
As she occupies last place on the first ballot results, Martha Hall Findlay will be compelled to retire from the field before the second ballot. Joe Volpe has apparently volunteered to withdraw, to urge his delegates to support Bob Rae. A further 127 registered delegates abstained in the first ballot.
In total, some 413 delegates will therefore be in play for the second ballot, in addition to any delegates who may choose to switch their allegiances.
This represents a telling shift in the balance of power at the convention. Ignatieff's lower than expected results, despite a significantly higher than expected turnout of his committed delegates, suggests that his support is softer and his lead more vulnerable than anticipated. By contrast, Dion's ability to surpass Kennedy, by however modest a margin, suggests that he is the only candidate, thus far, with momentum.
I gave Stéphane Dion my support in the conviction that he is the best person to lead the Liberal Party and the country, notwithstanding what I believed to be his slim chances of victory in the leadership race. It seems I underestimated the extent to which a good person is all one really needs to mount a good campaign.
Let Slip the Political Dogs of War
01 December 2006, 12h43 EST (GMT-5)
Thursday was my first full day at the Liberal Party leadership convention in Montreal, and as I collapsed in the evening exhausted, I was struck by the remarkable level of goodwill surrounding this election.
Conventional wisdom holds that contested leadership elections divide, whereas acclamations unite. In my experience, the truth is quite the reverse.
The 2003 Toronto convention was notable for the bile attendant upon Paul Martin's coronation. There was an undeniable animus in the air, presaging the Party purge that Paul's inner circle was preparing for anyone who had maintained an independent mind or who had otherwise, in their view, not supported them with sufficient fervour. Their near-unanimous victory convinced them that they were so powerful that they needed no one, and that they could tyrannise over others without consequence or accountability.
In this convention, with every candidate likely to poll less than 35% on the first ballot, each team is keenly aware that it can not win the election unless it is willing and able to reach out to others, to form a genuinely national coalition built around shared values. The result is an atmosphere of camaraderie and mutual respect. Moreover, with such a wide field, it is not at all unusual for families to have spouses and children all supporting different candidates, and therefore acting as engines of reconciliation within the Party.
The last formal element to the day's agenda (before the serious business of hospitality suites), was the tribute through which the Liberal Party officially bade farewell to Paul Martin. It was a cheerful goodbye to a leader who had arrived with so much potential, tinged by sadness at the knowledge that he was leaving with that potential almost entirely unrealised. TV Ontario's The Agenda kindly invited me to record my thoughts on Paul's farewell as a guest blogger at their web site.
The all-important candidates' speeches will be held tonight, and then we will truly let slip the political dogs of war.

During a recent breakfast with my aunt, Anne Cooper, I learned of one of my mother's favorite movies, "Top Hat," starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers with music and lyrics by Irving Berlin.
One day during its movie debut, 1935, my mother, Elizabeth Ferguson, returned home with a girl friend simply roaring with laughter about one of Astaire's lyrics. They saw him in top hat, white tie and tails before an entourage of over twenty similarly attired men, all sporting the walking cane dancing and singing about "dudein up" his shirt front, "puttin' in the shirt studs, polishin [his] nails." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fizrfcAI13A)
But, according to my aunt, one line sent my mother and her girlfriend, both probably twenty years old and in college, into gales of laughter was the following: "I'm steppin' out, my dear To breath an atmosphere that simply reeks with class. . . "
My mother loved that line about breathing in an "atmosphere that simply reeks with class."
What did it mean to her, I wondered? What represented "class" to her in 1935?
Surely, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. FDR? Her father, the famous scientist? Her mother? Douglas Fairbanks?
Nancy and I wondered what we meant by that word and she offered this definition: "Some one with class has a personal style, is self-confident and performs with humility and without arrogance." Others have noted that to have class means to be very respectful of all others and to have "an innate sense of appropriateness" in social situations.
I usually think of someone with class, like Astaire and Rogers, as performers on the grand stage of life, but surely one doesn't need to be famous to have class.
We then considered who amongst us, past and present had class.
Here's a brief list:
Cary Grant
Jean Arthur in any of her splendid movies
Audrey Hepburn
Admiral Richard E. Byrd treated me upon first meeting him when I was a young teen-ager and in awe of him as a member of his family. He definitely had class. See Quest for Antarctica.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Anne Frank
Abraham Lincoln
Former Senator from Nebraska Chuck Hagel
Former Senator from New Jersey, Bill Bradley
Former Congressman from Bridgeport, CT, Christopher Shays
Senator from Illinois Richard Lugar
President Barack Obama
Physicists Isidore I. Rabi and Richard Feynman
Astronomer Carl Sagan
All the Tuskegee Airmen
Marion Anderson
Joe DiMaggio, even on that one occasion when he kicked up some dirt at missing a home run. And, of course, Yogi.
Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics
Walt "Clyde" Frazier of the NY Knicks
Connecticut women's basketball team (of 90 straight victories) coach Gino Auriemma after recently losing to Stanford, "I think they played an unbelievably good game." Had to.
Detroit pitcher Armando Galarraga who, on 3 June 2010, pitched a perfect game only to have the last out nullified by umpire Jim Joyce, who admitted he blew the call. Galarraga treated this terrible disappointment with class, no thumping around ranting and raving about "I was robbed." A true gentleman and sportsman.
And who doesn't have class, you ask? Any of the sports figures who feels it important to "hot dog" after making a routine play on the field—sacking the quarterback, scoring a touchdown or hitting a home run. Strutting around pointing to themselves, thumping their manly chests, all to their own greater glory.
Of course, I would also nominate Elizabeth Ferguson Barell, for courage during the darker days of her life. Simply reeked with class.
Whom do you nominate as a person who has or had class?

Some of you may remember about a year ago when I was trying to repair the broken straps on my Barcelona like chair…well recently I was emailed by Jane from RegencyShop.com. Jane found my blog post and was impressed by my clever chair strap fix. She wanted to let me know that Regency Shop just started carrying replacement chair straps.
They sell a Barcelona-like chair called the Ibiza Chair. Both the chair and the replacement straps come in black or white. I have had several people email me asking for a source for white replacement straps, so I thought it would be worthwhile letting you all know about Regency Shop.
I did have a few questions for Jane, who answered them to the best of her ability:
Q: How do the pins work? Do they attach the leather to itself or screw into the chair frame? Are they only able to be used on your model (Ibiza Chair) or will they work on any barcelona or barcelona-like chair?
Jane's Answer: The pins are real easy to install, I have attached a picture of the pin. I went into the warehouse and took this picture for your blog.
The actual pin looks like a sword! You squish the handle-part of the sword-pin into the frame of the chair. Then, squish the edge (the thin part) of the pin into the frame. This essentially locks the pin into the frame. People can also use tiny screws or old pins if they prefer.
Q: Thanks for getting the picture of the pins and explaining them more. From your description it seems like you have to have holes in your chair frame in order to use the pins. This method may not work for every type of Barcelona-like chair then (I am guessing). On my particular chair, the original straps were riveted to the frame and are not able to be unscrewed to expose a hole, however I did notice that the pins are a separate cost, so if someone was just looking for straps they could opt out of the pins and attach the straps with Chicago screws as I did in my tutorial.
Jane's Answer: I double checked for you and the new pins are actually riveted pins, one can use a rivet gun to extract and insert new rivets. So, the straps/pins combo should work on all chairs. But like you said, they can also buy just the straps and use Chicago screws like your tutorial.
Q: It looks like you only sell the straps in complete sets. Would there be any time in the future you might sell them one at a time in case someone only wanted to replace one broken strap? (and perhaps the shipping cost would be less if they only ordered 1 strap as $45 seems like a lot!)
Jane's Answer: I agree, some people may want just a few straps, I will check this with the manager. I know right now we have box-sets of 20 straps. But I will check. (I just heard from Jane. She says: "Unfortunately we will not be able to ship single straps at this time. Perhaps, in the future.")
Q: Is there a difference between seat straps and back straps? (Measurements? Finishing?)
Jane's Answer: The back and the seat straps are the same, I have seen the original chair and also many reproductions, the straps are essentially the same for back and seat. (Dimensions listed on website are 26.5 inches long and 1.5 inches wide)
So there you have it, another option for purchasing replacement straps for a Barcelona chair. While this fix is more expensive than the other method I blogged about (especially if you need to buy a rivet gun), it is a good option for someone who is looking for white straps or who may not want to cut, punch and assemble their own chair straps.
Note: I was not paid or perked in any way to write this post. I simply wanted to share another source for replacement Barcelona chair straps. I do not endorse or have any experience with any of the products on RegencyShop.com.

Zone or Man for a smaller team?
Eyes_Above_Water15 posted a topic in Youth Flag Football DefenseIm coaching an 11-12 yo team in a league with a 7 yd rush but the QB cannot run and has 8 seconds to throw. I have a smaller team ( most likely the smallest team in the division) but i do have some fast and quick guys. Would it be better to play man or zone? which would hide our lack of size better? This is my 1st time coaching 5 on 5, but have coached 7 on 7 and have generally run zone.
Defending Run, Pitch And Pass
aquint posted a topic in Youth Flag Football Defense4 seasons coaching 5 on 5 youth flag. 2nd straight season returning to the championship game. I am coaching 3rd/4th graders, no QB run and players can blitz if 7yards deep. We have been running a 2/1/2 zone (all staying home). 2 DE's, 1 MLB (5 yards deep) and 2 safeties (7 yards deep) - we don't blitz. We are playing a pass heavy opponent. They love to pitch and pass. They have a hard time passing when pressured. QB's can throw a 20-25yard deep ball on their team. I want to change my defense to 2/3. 2 DE's and 3 safeties. With a couple wrinkles with the safeties: > 1 blitzing up the middle and 2 playing 8-10yards back > 2 blitzing on the L and R and 1 playing center 8-10yards back. > no blitzing, will have DE defend the pitch by crossing the LOS on their side at the time of the pitch. Also, has anyone seen this: (imagine a triangle) - 1 NT 2 LB's (5yards deep) 2 Safeties (8 yards deep) I am asking for any advice to my proposed 2/3: pros, cons, ideas, comments. And I am curious to see if anyone has seen the triangle defense. Thanks!!!!

Criminal Trials
The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.Article III, Section 2, Clause 3
The American right to a trial by a jury of one's peers traces its lineage back to 1297 and the Magna Carta. By the mid-sixteenth century, the jury had already taken on the form it retains to this day in federal courts and some state courts—twelve citizens were summoned to sit in sworn judgment of the criminal allegations against one of their peers.
The English practice of using juries continued in America from the very first settlements. The Charter of the Virginia Company in 1606 declared that the colonists who were to settle there would enjoy all the rights of Englishmen, which included the right to jury trial. Juries played a vital role in the mid-eighteenth century in resisting English authority in the contest that ultimately led up to the American Revolution. The most noted of the colonial cases was the trial of John Peter Zenger, a New York printer whom the jury acquitted on charges of seditious libel, forty-one years before the drafting of the Declaration of Independence.
King George III responded to such jury nullification of English laws by expanding the jurisdiction of non-jury courts, such as the Admiralty courts, and increasingly using those courts as the vehicles for enforcement. Thus it was that in 1776 the Declaration of Independence listed as a grievance against George III his "depriving us...of the benefits of trial by jury." As a consequence, Article III—the portion of the Constitution governing the role of the judiciary—makes clear that judges are not the only judicial actors of constitutional significance. It provides a crucial role for the jury.
There was little debate about this portion of the Constitution, because the need for the criminal jury was one of the few subjects of agreement between Federalists and Anti-Federalists. Alexander Hamilton observed in The Federalist No. 83 that "[t]he friends and adversaries of the plan of the convention, if they agree in nothing else, concur at least in the value they set upon the trial by jury." The only distinction to be drawn, in his view, was between the Federalist view that it is "a valuable safeguard to liberty" and the Anti-Federalist view that it is "the very palladium of free government."
Indeed, Thomas Jefferson believed so strongly in the jury that he noted, "[w]ere I called upon to decide whether the people had best be omitted in the Legislative or Judiciary department, I would say it is better to leave them out of the Legislative." John Adams shared Jefferson's praise of the jury, observing that "the common people...should have as complete a control, as decisive a negative, in every judgment of a court of judicature" as they have in the legislature.
Because judges themselves were part of the government, many Framers feared they would not be an adequate check on government abuse of the criminal process. The jury, therefore, was made part of the original structure of government in order to provide a mechanism for ensuring that individuals would not lose their liberty under a criminal law until the people themselves concurred.
In many criminal cases in the nation's early history, the jury not only applied the law to the facts it found, but decided questions of law themselves. Thus, many judges refused to tell jurors that they were obliged to accept the judge's view of the law, and lawyers argued questions of law before the jury in some cases.
Over time, however, this power eroded. In 1895, the Supreme Court concluded in Sparf and Hansen v. United States that the jury did not have the "right" to decide legal questions. As a result, today judges can—and do—instruct juries that they must accept the judge's view of the law, and lawyers are no longer allowed to argue the merits of the law to the jury. Because the jury possesses authority to issue an unreviewable general verdict of acquittal, the jury nevertheless retains the raw power to check general laws with which it disagrees in individual cases. But because the trial judge does not instruct the jury that it has this authority, the jurors may not know that they have it. In addition, even if the jurors are aware of this power, they must exercise it knowing it is contrary to the judge's instructions. Hence, there will be cases in which the jury does not exercise that power and instead follows the judge's instructions, even when the jury itself disagrees with the law in question, with the judge's interpretation of the law, or with the law's application in the case before it.
The jury's power has eroded in a second respect. Prior to 1930, jury trials in federal court, like jurisdictional provisions, could not be waived, reflecting the mandatory language in Article III that the trial of all crimes "shall" be by jury. In Patton v. United States (1930), however, the Supreme Court concluded that a defendant could waive a jury trial in favor of a bench trial. Nonetheless, the prosecutor may still insist upon, and the court must grant, a jury trial.
There are two additional trends in criminal justice that have further diminished the jury's ability to check the government in criminal cases. First, the vast majority of cases never reaches the jury because of the increase in the number of cases resolved by plea bargain.
The second major trend involves the changing nature of sentencing. Congress and many state legislatures have shifted from a model that vested broad sentencing discretion with judges to a regime in which the legislature (or a sentencing commission) specifies in generally applicable laws how particular findings of fact must affect the defendant's sentence. Thus, these laws are indistinguishable from other criminal laws: they identify blameworthy behavior and specify the criminal punishment for that behavior. But there is a crucial exception: the legislature insists that judges, not juries, apply these laws.
In Apprendi v. New Jersey (2000), the Supreme Court held that the legislature does not have unbounded authority to label criminally blameworthy facts as sentencing factors instead of offense elements, because such authority could undercut the jury's constitutional role. The Court in Apprendi therefore held that it is unconstitutional for the legislature to remove from the jury the assessment of facts (other than recidivism) that increase the statutorily prescribed range of penalties to which a defendant is exposed. The Court has not yet extended this rule to apply to the penalties prescribed by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
Article III (and the Sixth Amendment) also contain provisions relating to venue, the place where a case is to be tried, and vicinage, the place from which the members of the jury pool trying the case are to be drawn. The Declaration of Independence condemned the English practice of transporting colonial defendants overseas to England for trial by juries of Englishmen. In response, the Constitution guarantees a criminal defendant both the right to be tried in the state where his alleged crime was committed and by a jury drawn from the population of the state and district where the alleged crime occurred.

Annual ELCD meeting
What's it like to be church in the city? That was a central theme at this year's ELCD meeting
The annual ELCD meeting was held recently in Aarhus. It is a large national meeting arranged by different organisations within the Danish Church. It is set up as an informal meeting where everybody can walk straight in and attend. The meeting is meant as a space for inspiration and dialogue, and constitutes a possibility for lay people, NGO's and employees in the church from all parts of the country to meet and interact with each other.
Last year baptism was a main theme. Since the numbers are decreasing the question was especially how to inspire more people to let their children be baptised. This year one of the main themes was how to be church in the city. Different representatives from the church presented what it is like to be church in cities such as Aarhus and Copenhagen and they pointed out different experiences, possibilities and obstacles in the city space.
It was said throughout the meeting that the church must be alive in the city space. Esben Thusgaard who is Dean in Aarhus thinks that the ELCD has not yet arrived in the new millennium and should be inspired by the municipalities that are in the middle of a paradigm shift. Rather than perceiving themselves as exclusive service providers, the church must think in ways that are more network-oriented and co-creative.
Per Buchholdt Andreasen, chairman of the National Association of Pastors, says "the meeting is not a forum where you take decisions but is a place where we can exchange experience and afterwards take the input with us and present it in our local parish to continue the discussions there."

Is there Ro-mentum, or is it faux-mentum?
A debate has been raging among polling analysts and commentators about whether Mitt Romney is still gaining ground, as he did after the first debate, or if his bounce has slowed or stalled. But while some Republicans say that they still have the wind at their backs, several polling analysts weighed in recently to argue that the data suggests there is no longer a Romney surge.
Mark Blumenthal, the senior polling editor of the Huffington Post and the founding editor of Pollster.com, wrote a piece this morning with the headline: "Presidential Polls Counter Romney Surge Myth."
"While Romney gained significantly in the wake of the first presidential debate in early October,'' he wrote, "the lack of a continuing trend over the past two weeks helps counter a theme in some campaign coverage that Romney's support continues to 'surge' nationwide."
Sam Wang, who analyzes state polls at the Princeton Election Consortium, wrote this week that the Mr. Obama's plunge after the first debate had stopped with him still ahead, and delivered the following verdict: "Indeed the race is close, but it seems stable. For the last week, there is no evidence that conditions have been moving toward Romney. There is always the chance that I may have to eat my words — but that will require movement that is not yet apparent in polls."
Nate Silver, who writes the FiveThirtyEight blog in The New York Times, wrote Thursday: "Mr. Romney clearly gained ground in the polls in the week or two after the Denver debate, putting himself in a much stronger overall position in the race. However, it seems that he is no longer doing so."
With the race so close in so many places, it can be difficult to assess the true state of play.
Most major national polls, with the exception of a few tracking polls, have shown the race to be essentially tied for months. Some polls in crucial swing states where Mr. Obama has been leading have tightened between the two candidates since the first debate, including Ohio, which is closer than it was a month ago. And now is the point where many voters pay more attention to the election, which can move the polls. But even with the proliferation of polls and the increased reliance on aggregated polls — lumping or averaging many polls together — it can be difficult to get a realistic picture on any given day in the closing weeks, given that some polls do not reach voters who use only cellphones, and many polls have struggled in an environment where fewer people want to respond to questions.
There is no question that Mr. Romney tightened the race considerably after the first debate, when his aggressive performance was received much better than President Obama's low-energy one. But is he still gaining ground, or has that bounce peaked? Politico reported Monday that "Obama is currently on the ugly end of Big Mo."
Jonathan Chait countered in New York magazine that "Romney is carefully attempting to project an atmosphere of momentum, in the hopes of winning positive media coverage and, thus, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy."
But many Republicans still say that the Romney campaign is picking up steam. Karl Rove wrote of Mr. Romney's "growing momentum," and William J. Bennett, the conservative commentator, wrote on CNN's website that "Mitt Romney now carries the momentum into the home stretch."
Over at The Washington Post, The Fix asked the question "Is Mitt Romney's momentum real or fake?"
"What we do know is that Romney and Obama are in a dead heat nationally and the once-clear edge the incumbent held in a series of swing states has narrowed considerably," Chris Cillizza and Aaron Blake wrote this morning. "What we don't is whether Romney has peaked or not. But it's tough to argue that there hasn't been real movement toward him in the past three weeks."

When you take on a new project, you take on a very specific per-hour rate – either an agreed upon rate ($40/hr, and I told the client it should take about 10 hours) or a per project rate ($400, but I think it will take 10 hours, so that's $40/hr). But for far too many freelancers, that rate is never, ever achieved. In fact, most will face the reality that they make far less than their intended rate. Why so? Because a) they fail to estimate the scope of the project correctly, and b) they don't get honest with how long things really take.
The Accidental Lies We Tell Ourselves
Take web design for an example.
- You think back to the last site you made and think, "Hell, I did that in 10 hours. Easy peasy!"
- You tell Mr. Client it'll be $400.
- You get to work.
Then reality sets in.
- Mr. Client's site was a little more complicated than yours was, so it takes longer to code.
- Mr. Client isn't living in your head like you are, so you have a lot of back and forth email / phone calls / web conferences to get clarity on stuff.
- Your computer keeps crashing for no good reason. It didn't do that last time.
Suddenly 10 hours comes and goes. So does 15. Soon, your rate-per-hour has taken a huge turn for the worse.
The Easy Way To Make Sure This Never Happens
You want an easy way? Get a magic wand. There is no easy way – delays, setbacks and unforeseen events are just a fact of life. But they don't have to affect your profits if you learn to become a better estimator of how long things really take.
And the way to figure out how long things really take is to track how long things really take.
That means when you sit down to work on a project, keep a daily log and track how long you expect things to take and how long they really do take. Most people will never do this because it's (gasp!) work. Then they moan and complain because they are working too hard to make a living. Don't be one of these people.
Tracking Time Is Your Way To Stress-Free Profits
Keeping a daily log is a magically delicious way to make sure you don't water down your rates on upcoming projects, because of the power of awareness:
- You promise a project for $400, thinking it should take 10 hours (yay, $40/hr!)
- Harsh reality comes a knockin'; the project takes 15 (and you track this)
- You smack yourself, realizing you only made $27/hr after all.
- Next project comes around – but this time your wiser, wants to make $40/hr self says "That'll be $600,bub."
- The project takes 15 hours, though you tried to do it in 10. But you still win!
It's not always this cut and dry, but the more you track how long things really take, the more you realize that a certain amount of wiggle room has to be factored into all projects. And by tracking your results, that estimate becomes more accurate over time.
Which means you know to adjust your project details/rates so you're getting the pay you want, and you win. Huzzah.
Now start trackin', boss. Your rates depend on it.
(For more rockin' good tips, head over to Dave's productivity blog and enjoy.)

Do you have proof of the bold part? I think if there is definitive proof, many that dropped their 4th bar right after 60k miles could show this proof and the car would actually be under 60k miles and qualify for a new battery.
I compared both my GPS and Google Maps against my '15 Leaf S odometer, and it was 2.3% too many miles. This has now changed after we got a software update down a bit.
We used winter tires that are a larger diameter basically the same as the stock 17" tires, and then it was only 0.5% too high.

SociClicks Review and Bonus by Daniel Adetunji – How to make clickable image in Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest & Tumblr
SociClicks REVIEW
If you really need to increase traffic, engagement and conversions, either on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google+ and Tumblr, without the need for expensive ads, SociClicks is exactly what you need. There's no tool like this available in the market. Though there're social automation apps, and a few that borrow this idea, but none is as close—or can help you drive traffic to your links—which will in turn drive huge, TARGETED traffic to your website.
The first thing you'll notice here is that the Reach of photo posts is the lowest of the 3 post types. And the reason is this. Most images aren't clickable. They're mostly clicks to view the photo. The clicks won't drive traffic to your website — which is the top priority for your business. This is where SociClicks comes in. The beautiful thing is this: SociClicks doesn't just work for Facebook groups, profile or pages, it helps drive traffic to your links—whether they be your own site or an offer you're pushing across 5 major social networks!

SociClicks REVIEW
Here's a recent study by the Director of Social Media at Salem Web Network. That's 82% more pageviews by posting pure links instead of posting photos with links in the caption! Just imagine if that was an affiliate offer. I'm very sure he probably would have generated over 6 figures. This shows that, engaging images and Memes are good, but they can't drive traffic to your sites. Which is our end goal. But Sociclicks solve all that. Before now, you can't post your image with any link in all social network directly. For example, you can't post your image with any link on Facebook profile, Twitter or LinkedIn or Tumblr directly. Yes. I mean you can. But you can only post links, and the social network will grab an image from your site and display it. But it's not effective. You need to use your own custom image for your link. That will interact your user and attract more users, to click on your image. And with our tool you can do it. Only you can post custom image with your link in Facebook pages directly. But not with any tools right now because of Facebook's recent change. But then again, we found the solution to post it and with our tool, you can achieve this, and make it more automated. Moreover, with SociClicks, users are given the power to monitor (with full statistics), their link clicks, can insert their pixel code for tracking visitors for FB retargeting ads, they're given a preview of each social media posts before posting, can edit , and clone each link campaign, and above all? This works across 5 major social networks!
To make money online, you need to make sales. But to achieve this, you need traffic to your website. MASSIVE traffic; and social media is the best to quickly garner customers. Posting attractive images and memes can attract potential clients, and of course, they will click on your images. But when your images are clickable, they'll be redirected to either your website or choice of destination—which is traffic with no extra cost. Imagine as an affiliate marketer, using SociClicks: All you need do is post your aff. Links across 5 social networks with custom image, (which will get you a lot of clicks and sales), without paying for ads or doing any extra work. Sales…And a STORM of traffic to your websites.

Cinque Terre is a chain of five coastal villages along the Italian Riviera. These beautiful gems, dotting terraced hillsides and rugged hills, are popular for hiking and vacationing. The entire area is designated as a UNESCO world heritage.
The villages are well preserved to reflect the traditional way of life. They each have only a few thousand residents, and are connected to each other by a coastal train route. Each village has a distinct character and unique layout.
Cinque Terre has many different hiking trails that link the different towns, both along the coast and in the mountains. They are at all levels of difficulty, and contain short hikes as well as day-long hikes. Sometimes the trails are closed off, so it is good to check with the local tourist information center.
We stayed in Riomaggiore, the southernmost of the five villages, next to the larger town of La Spezia. It was built in the thirteenth century.
Riomaggiore has one long main street called Via Colombo, with many alleys branching off to homes and wine terraces in the hillsides. It starts near the harbor and meanders up into the hills beyond. There are a few inns and shops owned by locals, though everything closed early in the evening. Like most traditional towns, internet access is limited and the streets are not conducive to anything but pedestrian traffic, but I think most people come here to retreat from the chaos of modern life.
Each of the towns is stunning, with vivid and colorful buildings, surrounded by green mountains in the background and brilliant blue seas at the coast. I am especially partial to the village of Riomaggiore, perhaps because we stayed here for three nights. It's a good size - there are a few restaurants and two small grocers. The harbor at the bottom of the village is gorgeous both in the daytime and sunset.
We were lucky to be here in the off season, so there were only a few other tourists in the town, lending a peaceful and tranquil air to village life.
One early evening, after a day of hiking, we decided to go down to the wharf to enjoy the sunset. The sun rays striking the buildings at dusk is a really marvelous sight.
There was another visitor who bravely ventured out onto the rocks with a big camera and tripod to get some good shoots of the setting sun.
Right before the sun sank beneath the horizon, it gave off deep red and golden rays that burned the sky. Though it was rather chilly, we were content to sit on the stone steps of the wharf to watch this stunning display of nature.
Over our three days in Cinque Terre, we visited each of the five towns and tried out a few of the recommended hiking trails, so I'll be writing about those next!

Mixed and Threshold Contrast Charts
A contrast sensitivity test is important in determining an individual's ability to perform activities of daily living, since most everyday objects have less than black-on-white contrast, are larger than the smallest letters seen on a letter chart, and are seen at various intermediate distances. The contrast sensitivity charts and mixed contrast eye charts from Precision Vision are specifically engineered for optimal contrast sensitivity testing. We offer a number of mixed contrast eye charts in variable languages and for variable distances, so you have many options to choose from.

It's all about what you like/prefer. For me the 3.9 uf was the best solution.

Sorry for jumping in here but what's the target crossover frequency?
From what I am reading here it seems you are all using the cap value as a attenuator?
The Heil AMT is very efficient above about 2kHz.
I don't use a series crossover. I mate my Heil to a JBL 2118J in a ported box that's about 97db
I pad down the Heil by about 5.2db using a 3 ohms series resistor to get the amplitude of the Heil to match the JBL.
This means that, to my ears, the un-attenuated Heil is about 102.2 db.
3.7 ohms (the impedance of the Heil) in series with a 3 ohm resistor gives me a 6.7 ohm driver that is crossed with a
9.1uf cap giving me a 6db per octave crossover at 2600Hz.
I don't know what the efficiency of the horn loaded 126 is but I would guess it is less efficient than the Heil.
BTW a 4.7uf cap will cross the Heil at about 9kHz and the 0.91mH coil will cross the 126 at about 1400Hz (but it won't really without a Zobel in place because of the rising impedance of the 126 caused by the self inductance)

Hey Tre, here's a schematic of Ed's v2 crossover in case you haven't seen it. Also, I'm reposting it to make it easier for me to find.

Here is my pseudo-scientific attempt at showing differences between cap values using this series crossover on a graph
My microphone isn't very well suited for this, but still I think it gives a fair idea of what I'm talking about:
2.7uf vs 4.7uf @ 1 meter from middle of heil and horn. Feel free to comment.

Jesus, man, don't give it all away! And just maybe the coil value compliments that?
The Horns were measured to be 94 db in free space by John Atkinson for the Stereophile review. Add at least 3 db for corner loading. The series xover as I'm using it is "asymetrical". You'll not find those values with "math". Your assumptions on the sensitivity are 10 db higher than the manufacturer claims. They are at most 93 db from 1k past 20K and almost ruler flat in my room I think CaptZ was here one day when we measured them. My daughter could hear 20K from them at a measured 90db in room while she was at the other end of the house.
Your statement about the rising inductance of the 126 is exactly why textbook formulas and math seldom give the desired results. I really don't care about such things....you see in 40 years of doing this I've not yet heard a "zoebel" actually "fix" anything except in theory and I've always thought the
suffered every time they were used in my speakers. I understand the theory completely and have nothing to offer as to why they simply have "stole the life" from every speaker I tried them on over the years.
When I first added the Heils I did use a 12db parallel xover with a xover freq. of about 1k and the values were about textbook. Circumstances got me to try the series. The values were derived from what worked and I will admit they did not end up where I thought they would.
Hey Charles, the cap value should not have affected the very top, I don't think. I also think the roll off above 10k is either your software or microphone. They absolutely have flat response from 1-2K past 20K. That rolloff in your graphs is not real unless your Heils are defective! And that is just another example of measurements' ability to lead us astray.
There is nothing about the series xover values I'm using that makes any sense. I see no need to worry about it, I'm pretty darn happy with the sound with any amp and all sources!

Hey Ed,
The roll-off you see is my microphone's frequency response (which I included in the graph). My only goal was to compare both crossovers in a relative manner, nothing is meant to be flat here. Sorry if it was not clear.
Oh and by the way I'm not trying to say the original cap value is not good or anything. I'm just trying to understand the impact of the value change on the whole sound, and why I prefer lower value.

Hey Charles, yea, I figured but some reading may not and think that is an actual freq. response. I appreciate the input and please keep it up. I HATE taking measurements! I would encourage any and everyone to experiment with both coil and cap values if they wish.
One thing that bothers me and I do not understand is that when
the component values for either a series or parallel xover the values are the same. When I built a series using the calculated values that worked fine with the parallel xover it sucked.

"They are at most 93 db from 1k past 20K and almost ruler flat ..."
ED, if they are only 93db then why do I have to pad them down 5.2db to get them to match up with my 97db JBL 2118J?
Life is full of mysteries.
BTW With a 4.7 cap the Heil will be about 9db down at 4500Hz. If it's only 93db to start with and the horn is 94db, how does that work?
More mysteries!!!

Tre', you are going to
this. I spoke with Rico today the CEO of ESS while he was at CES. He said the official number is 93 but guys have "measured" them to be from 93 to 106 db efficient. So, pick your number
93 is correct. Your JBL's are not "97 db" most likely
And that number means nothing in reality, do you mean "efficient" or "sensitive" ? Efficiency and sensitivity are different things. The total moving mass of the Horn/Heil combo is under 4 grams. It is both sensitive and efficient. Your JBL's will not be both. The mms is a "problem". You will not have a speaker that is both sensitive and efficient if it has a very high moving mass regardless of the motor. This is why you have to pad the Heil. You have a "sensitive" driver mated to it that is not "efficient". The exact same problem the original ESS speakers had, IMO.
From the Stereophile review of my speaker, and it applies the the GHH.
Briefly, sensitivity describes how loudly a speaker will play given a certain voltage; efficiency describes how well the loudspeaker converts electrical power into acoustical power. In other words, efficiency is how easy it is or isn't for an amp to develop and maintain that voltage across the speaker, as a load. Sensitivity is measured in decibels relative to a given voltage and measuring distance (typically 2.83V and 1m, respectively), and efficiency can be assessed by looking, not only at sensitivity but also at a speaker's nominal impedance, in ohms. Efficiency can therefore be gleaned from a graph that plots a speaker's impedance, in ohms, vs frequency, in hertz.
My guess is that you are padding them down to get them to sound right to you. No big deal.
The cap value and how does it work? I have no idea.

J series JBL drivers are 16 Ohm devices. The Heil is a 4 Ohm. JBL measures their units in half space; the Heils, who knows.
When I ran GHH's, I padded the Heils down just a tiny bit. I suspect that the 126en and the Heil match up very closely in efficiency.
The moving mass of the JBL is 17 gr which is typical of well designed pro mid woofers that size.
I have used several brands of mid woofers, and played them in my room with the Heils. They were less efficient (guessing 1-3 Db), even though they were rated 94-97 Db. Of course they were able to play at volumes that would melt the GHH's, but your ears would melt too.
When I was building those other designs, I found several tweeters, dome, planar, ribbon that were efficiency matches for the Heils. They were literally plug and play, and all rated about 93 Db.
Just my experience.

"J series JBL drivers are 16 Ohm devices. The Heil is a 4 Ohm."
With a 3 ohms series resistor the Heil presents 6.7 ohms to the amp. My Heils measure 3.7 ohms.
The JBL is 13 ohms so some of this is attributable to power distribution.
"When I was building those other designs, I found several tweeters, dome, planar, ribbon that were efficiency matches for the Heils. They were literally plug and play, and all rated about 93 Db. "
The Morel is rated at 92.5db and is not even close to the Heil.
If you are using a 4.7uf cap on the Heil everything below 9kHz is attenuated.
Try crossing them closer to the frequency the 126 is crossed at.
I'm not trying to bust anyone's balls here but I ran the Morel with the JBL and it doesn't keep up.
With 2 Morels in parallel (now we're talking about some power distribution being part of the picture but that ends up being in favor of my position, the Morels are 7 ohms each so 3.5 ohms vs 13 ohms) they almost keep up.
The Heil more than keeps up and had to be attenuated 5.2db to sit where I want it, that is, a little hotter than the 2 morels were.
To me this speaks of the numbers being pretty close unless both JBL and Morel are off by the same amount, in the same direction. JBL 96-97db depending on which data sheet to look at and 92.5db for one Morel, 95.5 for 2.
Please, cross the Heil at the same frequency that the 126 is crossed at. I'm not saying that would sound good but if you (or Ed or whoever) does that, I think you/they will see that the Heil is louder than the 126. Could someone please try this for me? It wouldn't be very hard.
Again, with a 4.7uf crossover cap for the Heil, the Heil is -3db at 9100Hz, 9db down at 4550Hz and -15db at 2275Hz so if that's a good match (with the 126) to you're ear then doesn't that prove my point?
Please don't take any of this as some kind of attack. I'm really just trying to help.
To me, the Heil crossed at the same frequency as the 126 and padded it to match the 126 in output SPL just might sound better than crossing the Heil at 9100Hz and not, otherwise, padding it. I could be wrong but I think it's worth a try.
With all the best intentions, Tre'

When I ran the Heils, I found them to be a good matchup for the Horns. My Heils were first series, not current production. I don't know what the current ones are like and have lost interest in them. In my rather live room, I padded the Heils down a bit, but not a whole lot. I started playing around with other drivers out of curiosity. I have a few too many hf drivers around, and I wanted to learn more about directivity.
I have heard your JBL driver because the factory dumped a bunch of them in a "tent sale" a few years ago. A buddy of mine got a couple pair. He used them in a humongous system design he found on the internet, and if memory serves me correctly, also published in The Audio Critic. The design might still be available. At least it would be a good read.
I doubt anyone is going to take offense at your comments. You are just reporting your experiences. We all learn new things from each other.
Edit: I ran my tweeter experiments with one of my crossovers, not one of Ed's.

Tre', do not worry at all about your posts/opinions! You will not upset anyone, especially me. That is my job, apparently
. This is a discussion forum, after all and that is what we're doing! I appreciate your posts, you set me straight on the Heil bi/dipole thing and the actual
of the series xover! Understanding it still did not make the values change
I don't have much time now but will finish this later and explain the choices that I made.
The parallel xover values were "conventional". The values should be the same for both types according to "theory"......too bad that did not work! More later!

Damn you Sonic........you made me spit out beer when I read your post
Very funny. Hell yea, you are still here and we hope for a long time. I think it's obvious this forum is about as "wide open" as any and that all opinions and comments are always welcome.
I had a crash on my Gas Gas this evening while looking around the clear cut. I knew better than ride through it but did anyway. My "plan" of trying to "skim over it" almost worked. Almost. What looks like a "road" is not really one, it's just where they have been dragging the trees and is very treacherous. You can not see all the little stumps....it looks smooth but it's not!
Video (oh yea!) and pics in the other section (guns and motorcycles) tomorrow and hopefully more info on the xover in this thread if I get a few spare minutes

After some break because of the birth of our daughter, i`m back. I don`t know how much i will keep this blog updated, but it feels wrong to play and study again without blogging again, i think it just became a habit.
Here a game with relativ detailed comments in it, hope you will enjoy and if you find any mistakes, or if you have other views, opinions etc. please let me know.
I`m also planing to review some pro games in the future, not to teach somebody, just to share my studies! The focus here is of course totally different than for example at gogameguru, where you get professional reviews ... i`m just a kyu player and if you read my comments you should not see them as absolute but just as thoughts of a kyu player, not a teacher - but actually that goes without saying.
Maybe together we can develop a better understanding of the game, that would be nice!
Ah, and for those who don`t know me at all allready, please excuse me if i will sometimes write strange english, i`m not a native speaker.
And in case you did not see it allready, i started a second twitter account, i use it just 100% as a study journal (= @badukJournal ) ... maybe it inspires you, i hope so, for me it is a good way to track my progress and to develop motivation.
Mhmm, nothing much more to say... maybe just a few go related random things:
- Still waiting (sometimes praying) for the mac version of Smartgo
- When i have time to study i do tsumego 90% of the time, i start to love tsumego, even sometimes when i`m too tired to even solve the easy ones :-)
- I bought a fan with a Go Seigen calligraphy from the hebsacker verlag.
Here is a picture:
John Fairbarn writes at 19x19 that the meaning is this:
"Dark, yet clear as day". This is from the Confucian "Doctrine of the Golden Mean", and it is a metaphorical description of the perfect gentleman: dark on the surface, bright inside: "a gentleman has no adornment outside but is cultivated inside".
and i wonder if that maybe is in this case not (only) about the gentlemens qualities but about the qualities of Go Seigens moves?! ... not many people were able to understand them immediately, but he saw the possible variations "clear as day"
- i sadly recognised that "Go World" has published it`s last issue
- this Lee Sedol - Gu Li Jubango is amazing... i would like to see Lee Sedol win :-D Have nice game ... and day ;-)
