I don't think anyone was talking about saving oneself. We were talking about holding on....
Quote from: Molly on July 03, 2009, 07:07:00 AMI don't think anyone was talking about saving oneself. We were talking about holding on....IMO, it's good to clarify, as many either teach that if they can't find some way within themselves to "hold on to the end" they're lost, and/or use language that can sound that way if not clarified. It's possible if one hasn't seen that extreme side of churchianity and/or experienced it themselves, they may not realize the confusion and carnage left along the roadside of such beliefs.I was sharing personal experience, as that's where I've spent the last 20 years coming from.
Amen! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! HIS strong and mighty hand.That's interesting, how we (many) have such different experiences. I'd be afraid to try to number the percentage of what I've needed to unlearn and relearn in my walk with Yesu. Religion is a powerful teacher and shaper. Then the Potter takes over...Glory to His name!
If Paul's not really talking about himself, that's one thing. I'd want some really good proof that's not the case, never heard that before.Also, it sure doesn't sound like he's saying he's perfect or will be made perfect in this life. Sounds to me like he's looking forward to the resurrection, while continuing to struggle in this life. Though He sees God's grace as being "sufficient", therefor, no condemnation.

Zeiss LWZ.2 Lightweight 15.5-45mm T2.6 Zoom EF Mount
- Product Details
Notes: This manual focus only lens is intended for Super 35mm sensor cameras and will vignette on Full Frame sensors. We strongly encourage the use of a complete rail support system with 15mm rods (like the Cinema Bundle or eyeSpy) with this lens as the EF mount is not intended to support such a large lens without additional support.
Rental Includes:
The Zeiss LWZ.2 Lightweight 15.5-45mm T2.6 Zoom EF Mount cinema lens combines the sharp resolution, high contrast, low distortion, and perfect color rendition of Zeiss lenses with the cinematic features of professional video lenses. The lens is protected with T* XP coating that prevents flare and the glass is color matched with all Zeiss cine lenses to deliver a consistent, superb, optical image. It covers a wide range of focal lengths, making it ideal for shooting in tight spaces or when swapping out lenses is not an option. This lens is 8" long and comes equipped with 15mm rail support. The use of a support rig with 15mm rods (not included) is highly recommended.

Car crashes into gift store, leaves sticky, runny messBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | December 15,2013MARLBORO A gift shop sustained extensive damage when a car crashed into it Friday evening.
Vermont State Police said Frederick Bump, 67, of Brattleboro was driving a 2013 Subaru XV east on Route 9 around 9:45 p.m. when he lost control in the slush.
Bump crashed into the exterior wall of the Hogback Mountain Gift Shop at an angle, according to Trooper Ryan Wood. The car knocked down a 15-foot section of the stores exterior wall and destroyed a large amount of merchandise inside the store.
Bump was not injured but the car was destroyed, Wood said.
Store owner Ed Metcalfe said Saturday he was dealing with a sticky, runny mess of jams, wines, maple syrup and pancake mix.
The most damage was done to a wall where Vermont wines were displayed, Metcalfe said, along with 200 to 300 jars of jams and jellies. The crash knocked those items into a display of maple syrup, he said.
Metcalfe said the crash didnt close the store, but he might close on Sunday because of the expected storm.
The area of Route 9 where the gift shop is located has a bad curve so vehicle crashes arent unusual, Metcalfe said. He said his building has been hit about three times since he became involved with the business in 2002.
Because the accident happened at night, when the store was closed, no employees or customers were hurt, Metcalfe said.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

Mayday, indeed.
You know those new Apple ads that began running during the Olympics, featuring an Apple "genius" helping out clueless Apple users in completely contrived situations? Gone. Eliminated. Expelled.
Mashable reports that Apple's ad agency, TBWA\Media Arts Lab, says that short run the first weekend of the Olympics was the intention all along. But it's hard not to think that the storm of negative reaction had a lot to do with the ads getting tossed almost as fast as those slacker badminton teams.
By many viewers' estimation, the ads, including the "Mayday" spot above, made Apple users look like idiots, something that clearly didn't fit Apple's brand. That ad, for instance, got 241 "likes" and 1,867 "dislikes" on YouTube.
Still, regardless of whatever face-saving excuse is being offered today–who can really believe a multi-spot campaign with a new recurring character was planned to run only a few days?–it's to Apple's credit that it spiked the campaign before it did any more damage. The twin themes of Macs being easier to use and Apple offering great customer service are fine fodder for ad campaigns–but separate ad campaigns, not mashed up into one frenetic, unrealistic set of spots.
One set of bad ads won't hurt Apple much, but like few other companies, Apple must maintain its image as the elegant and cool alternative. It's pretty clear execs decided these ads didn't do the job.

I didn't really catch it with the first batch. I thought that I had just forgot to roll them in sugar. So, next batch, I rolled. Then I realized that wasn't the only problem. They were heavy. As in, really heavy. Checked out the recipe. Whoops... I used baking powder. Not baking soda. And it was a really big whoops. Cause I had doubled the recipe.
When you don't succeed, try, try again. And so I did. And they turned out exactly as they should. (It wasn't my first go around with these. We love them around here.)
Over the last few times I have made them, I decided I like them a little smaller. They pack up nicely to give to friends.
I did finish a little knit. Made for a special friend. I had this yarn in my stash for some time. I turned to one of my favorite books, Pipsqueaks. Over the years, I have made my children several sweaters out of this book. It really is a great one to add to your collection. You may even be able to find it in one of your used book stores. Speaking of used books... I recently stumbled upon the Moosewood Cookbook. Where have I been? And how did I ever live without it?

Secondly, this joke represents the "all cards on the table" openly degrading attitude that some classicists have about this style of music. As if to say, even a parrot can produce this style of music. Tsk, tsk, I say.
We cannot fast forward 50 years and I could say, "I told you so!," but I am firm in my convictions that history will realize the value of this music, even if some listeners do not share that opinion now. I am right and I know it.
Composers of a new style are always (without exception) met with hostility. Here are some real examples (Slonimsky's Lexicon of Musical Invective):
Anton Bruckner
"We recoil in horror before this rotting odor which rushes into our nostrils from the disharmonies of this putrefactive counterpoint. Bruckner composes like a drunkard!"
Claude Debussy
"Debussy's music is the dreariest kind of rubbish.
Richard Wagner
"Heartless sterility, obliteration of all melody, all tonal charm, all music... T
Even poor Ludwig takes one on the chin-
And as to the topic of "long-haired" music, I leave you with this picture of a young Franz Liszt. Should we exclude him?
Francesca will be transmitted to 1900 theaters in 64 countries. Opera lovers in West Virginia at the Cinemark Theater at the Huntington Mall in Barboursville; Regal Nitro Stadium 12; Hollywood Stadium 12 in Granville/Morgantown and Greenbrier Valley Theatre in Lewisburg as well as Cinemark Theater in Ashland, Kentucky. Cinemark will show the encore performance on Wednesday, April 3, at 6:30 pm.
The Holy Grail, the cup that Christ used at the Last Supper, and the
spear used to pierce the side of Christ at Crucifixion are prominent symbols in
Parsifal, libretto and music by
Richard Wagner (1813-1883).
Parsifal, Wagner's final opera (1882),
is the Live in High Definition simulcast from the stage of the Metropolitan
Opera in New York this Saturday, March 2.
Because the opera simulcast has an approximate running time of five
hours and forty minutes, the opera will begin at twelve o'clock noon.
The outstanding
vocal cast includes Wagnerian (large voices) luminaries of today's opera
world. Munich native heldentenor Jonas
Kaufmann sings the title role of Parsifal, the "innocent fool" who will find
wisdom and bring redemption.
Dresden native
bass Rene Pape will sing the role of Gurnemanz, a noble Knight of the Holy
Grail and Swedish baritone Peter Mattei will sing the role of Amfortas, leader
of the Knights, who suffers from an incurable spear wound.
The role of Kundry,
cursed to be a seductress for laughing at Christ on the cross in a former life,
will be sung by Swedish soprano Katarina Dalayman. "The thing I like best about Kundry is that
she is such a complicated character with a wide range of expressions both vocally
and scenically." (Dalayman in Opera News).
bass-baritone Evgeny Nikitin sings the role of the vengeful magician Klingson,
who has now joined the dark side after being rejected as a Knight.
Wagner called Parsifal a "festival play for the consecration
of a stage." It was premiered at
Wagner's own theater in Bayreuth Bavaria, Germany. To blend text, music and action into one
artistic whole was a lifelong goal of Wagner.
Do not expect a
string of memorable melodies, but do expect wonderfully dramatic orchestral
music played by the excellent musicians of the Metropolitan Opera orchestra
under the baton of Daniele Gatti. I dare
you to count the number of times Wagner uses the "Dresden Amen." (Check your hymnbook.)
Anthony Tommasini
in his review for the New York Times writes "the Met debut for French Canadian
director Francois Girard presents Parsifal
in a post-apocalyptic setting…two barren sun-baked dirt-gray mounds are divided
by a river bed with just a trickle of flowing water, sometimes thick with
Not for newbies,
neophytes or the faint of heart because of the length, Parsifal also makes a lasting impression on the audience as well on
cast members. My first experience with Parsifal was when as a freshman I was
conscripted to be a Knight in a production in the Indiana University Auditorium
on Palm Sunday. IU faculty members
Charles Kullman, Ralph Appelman, Roy Samuelsen and Margaret Harshaw sang the
major roles, Tibor Kozma conducted and Hans Busch was the stage director. We started in the afternoon, took a dinner
break and finished the opera in the evening.
Wagner lovers in
West Virginia can see the Met Live in HD simulcast of Parsifal this Saturday, March 2, at twelve noon at the Cinemark
Theater at the Huntington Mall in Barboursville; Regal Nitro Stadium 12;
Hollywood Stadium 12 in Granville/Morgantown; and Greenbrier Valley theatre in
Lewisburg, as well as Cinemark Theater in Ashland, Kentucky. The opera in three acts will be sung in German
with English subtitles. Cinemark will show the encore performance on Wednesday,
March 20 at 6:30 pm.

Reading articles from the past and using the photos and maps and the internet to compare changes over the years keep me occupied for hours on end.Also, love to read all the old advertisements and even look up the companies to see if they are still in business and how they have changed.I installed the product to my hard drive and it took a very long time, but I would load a DVD and then check back later and then enter the next when indicated. It probably took about 8 hours total.

Nat Geo Complete Historical Review so-so
By Walter the Adventurer
from Decatur, IL
I probably wouldn't buy this again as I have not opened it since the day I got it. But mother-in-law might take to it as she loves Nat Geo. And this historical data is a million times easier to store than the magazines themselves. One thing I found out is it will not work will unless opened all the way up. I will check it out again and see if I like it better.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I am incredibly impressed with this product. First time I saw it I wanted to buy it. I love that all the magazine issues are so readily available in such a compact and comprehensible way. I love how much paper this product saves and allows for an organized and minimal storage. No more piles of dusty magazines laying around!

I have been approached about writing a book on Joe and his time with Bomber Command. I'd love to hear your feedback about this. Please use the comments box to give me your thoughts. Novel, or non-fiction? Do you think it would make a good read?
A bit of background for newcomers
Joe (aka 'Mac' to his RAF comrades) was my Uncle, but we never met. His precious letters have come into my possession some near-70 years after they were written. It is my honour to transcribe them, and the poignancy of hindsight about what happened to Joe makes this all the more difficult to write, but all the more important that I do. One letter will be posted to this Blog each and every Friday.
Please see below for a link to Joe's full story and the other letters in this series so far.
In this letter, Joe is now stationed at Stranraer in Scotland, where his Air Gunnery School training (phase 4 of his training) has commenced and he will finally get up in the air….
Letter 30 – 21st April 1944
Dear Mom and kids,
I am writing this in doubt as to whether you received my second letter. I have not had any mail from you since last Wednesday or Thursday and I have been worried, I hope everything is O.K. at home?
We had our first day off today, the weather has been terrible the last few days, it rains terrific hard here the wrost rain I've ever seen. I don't know whether I told before but our hut site is in a pine wood something like the 'Lickeys'*. As you can imagine the ground is in a terrible state and our overcoats and boots are wet through.
We spent our day off in Stranraer, it is a dump with a crowd of pubs and only two cinemas but by now as you'll realise we are getting used to making the best of things!
The weather here has stopped the flying and so we are all 'cheesed off' with having to sit in the classrooms all day. Sometimes when we have had our tea (about 7) we go to the billet and start re-writing our day's notes and cleaning up for the next day. By then it's 9 or half past and after that we try to write letters but it is hard. I can honestly say that I'm dog tired at the end of the day and am always sleepy, but I promise you I'll write you as often as possible.

Joe sounding a bit weary this week. The relentless Scottish weather can be enough to get anyone down, but when it has confined you to the classroom instead allowing you to be in the air, it must have been even worse.
Joe's full story is beautiful and tragic. He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories. I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

CRESTVIEW — Mac Kramer's grin stretched ear to ear as he exited the Home Party Expo that the Crestview Public Library hosted Saturday. The 2-year-old, gripping a Santa key his mom, Dorothy Kramer, just bought for him, had assurance of a visit from the jolly old elf this Christmas.
Usually, Mac's mom would have to take him to a Longaberger home shopping party to buy the pewter key, which provides Santa Claus access to homes lacking chimneys. However, at this event, nearly a dozen local home party hosts brought their shopping experiences to the library.
Library clerk Audrey Milcarek, an event organizer, said it allowed patrons to get a jumpstart on their holiday shopping without the need to battle shopping center traffic.
"This is thinking outside 'the box,'" Milcarek said, gesturing air-quotes in reference to a big-box store or mall.
Extra income
Home shopping parties' benefits were evident on both sides of tables that lined the library's main meeting room, Milcarek said. The representatives were as local as the shoppers were.
"These are great career opportunities for women who already have careers and are busy with families," she said. "They either want to make a little extra money on the side, or want some extra income while taking care of families."
Tastefully Simple home party host Beth Bryant — a consultant selling the gourmet food line for 10 years — said she appreciated the work-from-home flexibility.
"I tutor in school during the day," she said. "This is my fun job."
Some home parties feature demonstrations of the merchandise. Serena McCabe was displaying Pink Zebra home fragrance products to Crestview resident Lisa Garrison.
"We've only been in business a year," McCabe said. "Our signature product is our Sprinkles" scented pellets. "Because it's brand new, people are always interested. Instead of a show at someone's house, we do a candle party and everybody makes a mini candle instead of me doing a demonstration. Everybody loves it. It's a hobby as well as a little income here and there."
Garrison hadn't made up her mind whether to buy anything.
"I'm just out enjoying my Saturday," she said. "But I might buy something. There's a lot of interesting things here."
Building business, community
Within the first 45 minutes, the Home Party Expo had attracted more than 40 library patrons who sniffed candles, admired cosmetics, browsed housewares, popped Tupperware lids and tried out Miche handbags with changeable "skins" and handles.
Though mostly women were visitors, several men came, too.
"I was getting some Christmas present ideas," an unidentified man said as he hastily exited the room. "There's too many womenfolk in there for me, though."
Attendance, which included regular library patrons who stopped by out of curiosity and people who went to the library for the expo, made Milcarek optimistic.
"Hopefully, we can go bigger and better, get more representatives and maybe move it to the Community Center," she said. "We want to show the library is involved with our community and with our local businesses."

It took a Brazos County jury a little more than two hours to find Stanley Robertson guilty of capital murder Thursday.
At 10:40 a.m. Thursday, the jury began deliberating in the trial of the 45-year-old.
Both legal teams made their closing arguments Thursday morning. The jury -- seven men and five women -- told Judge J.D. Langley they had a decision at 12:56 p.m.
Robertson will now face either life in prison without possibility of parole or the death penalty. The State of Texas will seek death. Opening arguments in the punishment phase are set for 9:00 a.m. Friday.
On August 13, 2010, Robertson went with Toliver and her son, Curtis, to the College Station Walmart. Robertson had reportedly told them he wanted to get money for Tammy Toliver, Annie's daughter and Robertson's ex-girlfriend. Instead, Robertson ditched Curtis in the store, then attacked Annie with a knife as she waited in a vehicle in the parking lot.
Robertson would proceed to drive to Fort Worth, dump Annie's body in a parking lot, then lead police on a chase that ended with him intentionally crashing his SUV into a patrol car.
In its closing arguments, the defense told jurors that if there were any reasonable doubts in their mind as to whether, by the letter of the law, a kidnapping occurred or that Robertson intended to kill his victim, then they should find him guilty of a lesser crime.
The jury had the option to find Robertson guilty of capital murder, murder, felony murder or manslaughter.
In phone conversations made while he was driving with a dying Annie Toliver, Robertson tells others he was doing this because Tammy had not visited him in jail after a July 2010 domestic violence incident that ended their two-year relationship. He was upset that she was no longer part of his life and not returning his calls.
The prosecution said Robertson's intent was clear by virtue of the places he stabbed Toliver -- the head, neck and back among them -- and the statements he made to police and Tammy while he drove to Fort Worth. They said it was a clear kidnapping of Annie, that she was taken against her will after being attacked in Brazos County.
In its opening arguments, the defense conceded that Robertson had caused the death of Annie Toliver.
For the jury to convict Robertson of capital murder, they had to believe the kidnapping took place along with the murder. Otherwise, they would have had to choose a lesser-included charge. Only capital murder carries the possibility of the death penalty.
The prosecution called witnesses from Monday morning until Wednesday morning. The defense chose to call no witnesses.

All will have similar scale, ambition and design complexity, and students will be required to demonstrate, through their design production, the integration and application of all the skills, capacities and knowledge learnt in previous design units, as well as the integration of knowledge gained in all other units of the course.
Projects will emphasise the integration of the five major topics that have characterised the design studios in the course: meaning and the human dimension of Architecture, Architectural resolution and tectonics, environmental relevance and the responsibilities of the built environment, the public role of Architecture, and hybridization and the use of technology as a tool to explore design alternatives.
Students will have the opportunity to select their main field of interest in Architecture Design (Thought, Matter, Earth, Public, Hybrid). Through the integration within their project of the remaining design inputs in their proposal, students will demonstrate the application of their individual approach to architectural design.

I know AJ probably outweights him by close to 100pounds, and they dont fight in the same division at the time... but who you would take in this fight... Should AJ move down to MW
I know AJ probably outweights him by close to 100pounds, and they dont fight in the same division at the time... but who you would take in this fight... Should AJ move down to MW
IMO, Rumble will only have the potential to be a legitimate threat if he moves down to 185. I see too many plusses to it and see too many variables that don't favour him at 205. His current state just gives off the impression that he doesn't really have too much regard for training at the highest level. If he applied himself, I think he could be scary at MW, but I'm not seeing that presently, even with the Imperial Athletics jump etc.
The problem with Rumble against Weidman is that while Rumble's a good wrestler, he isn't THAT good and much like in say, the Kos fight, I think Weidman gets him down and grinds on him, being smart to avoid the striking advantage Rumble will have on the feet. For me, Rumble can outstrike the grapplers and outwrestle the strikers, but hasn't put the pieces together yet to be the superior overall fighter.
I'd take Weidman via UD or maybe even a late 3rd RNC.
AJ has always had good wrestling and TDD, but like you said Weidman is an elite wrestler...
We would have to see how his TDD has come along... Training with someone like Evans every day who is superior to Weidman in the wrestling game... along with power, and speed should help him out a lot.
If it does stay standing, AJ probably puts him out.
IDK that I would say Rashad is a better wrestler than Weidman...and as far as top control, Weidman's top control is just sick...he is so quick to slap on that darce any time an opponent rolls to the sprawl position, and when you try to just stand up he is just fucking right on you like glue, much like Fitch but a bit more technical IMO.
I have to take Weidman. We also have to remember the dude hasn't had that many fights yet and has had a couple of them on very short notice. Before long he could have insanely good grappling for mma, and his stand up is getting better as well.
I hope this isn't too big, because it's awesome.
I choose AJ, simply because his standup is much better and I believe his TDd is good enough to keep it on the feet long enough for him to put Chris away. Koscheck is similar to Fitch in that his cardio is top notch. I don't consider either AJ or Chris to have top notch cardio
Evans isnt the same old predictable wrestler you may have come to know... He credited his time training with GSP to his Evolution into his wrestling game.
But yes... AJ has good TDD... but to assume he would easily stop an eilte wrestler like Weidman's takedowns would be foolish...
He does have the speed and power to give Chris fits as well, as well as a decent wrestling game himself.
if johnson wouldnt gas, id give him the nod, but he has a cardio problem

Free admission to Coal Scrip Show
The National Scrip Collectors Association, a not for profit group, will be holding its semi-annual show and meeting in Beckley on April 19, 2013, starting at 8 a.m. and ending at noon on the 20th. The meeting will be at the Country Inn & Suites at 2120 Harper Road in Beckley. Admission is free to the public.
Coal Scrip was the private currency of coal companies in over 612 towns in just West Virginia alone. In the mid-1950s scrip had all but disappeared as a method of labor payment. Coal scrip, like other obsolete currency, has survived and today is thriving in the hands of collectors.
At this show, there will be vendors, dealers and collectors that would offer their opinions as to the value of any scrip and maybe where to sell it, if desired.
Other mining memorabilia, artifacts, coal scrip books and catalogues usually have dealers too at the show.
Part of the purpose of the NSCA is to encourage the study and research of the history of coal mining companies as it relates to the usage of scrip tokens and the families that used it.

WKA Mazda / Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup - National 2-cycle sprint racing at its finest
The WKA Manufacturers Cup Series open of the most competitive 2-cycle sprint karting series in the United States.
Over the past several seasons Manufacturers Cup nationals have averaged over 500 entries per event. The traditional season opener, annually held Dec. 27-30 at the Daytona Int'l Speedway Sprint Track, regularly boasts over 600 entrants with a record of 690 in 2010.
With nearly every racer running multiple classes on a Man Cup weekend, 500 to 600 entries means approximately 250 to 300 drivers.
The six-race tour features events throughout the eastern half of the country and teams based throughout the country and Ontario, Canada, including the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest and West Coast.
In 2013, the series travels to Daytona; Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, S.C.; Pittsburgh International Race Complex in Wampum, Pa.; JET Karting at Michiana in South Bend, Ind.; New Castle Motorsports Park in New Castle, Ind.; and GoPro Motorplex in Mooresville, N.C.
While Daytona is the premier Manufacturers Cup national event of the year, each season a different track hosts the WKA Man Cup Grand Nationals, where prestigious WKA Eagle trophies are award to main event winners. In 2013 the Grand National is June 28-30 at JET Karting in South Bend, Ind.
Event schedule
A typical Manufacturers Cup weekend consists of four days. Thursday is parking and registration; Friday is practice; and Saturday and Sunday are devoted to one round of morning practice, qualifying, pre-finals and finals for each class.
The only deviation is Daytona, which consists of the same daily schedule, but the days of the week vary from year to year and always fall on Dec. 27-30.
In 2013, 11 classes run each race day. A regular race day begins with gates opening at 7 a.m., practice opening at approximately 8 a.m., and the final main event normally concluding around 6 p.m.
Class structure
Five age categories make up the WKA Man Cup class structure.
Yamaha Rookie Sportsman (age 7 to 10) offers more inexperienced youngsters a chance to hone their skills before advancing to the Junior Sportsman categories (age 7 to 12), which offer three divisions – Cadet, Yamaha and Komet (KPV) Sportsman.
Racers between the ages of 12 and 15 have four divisions in which to compete – Yamaha Junior Lite and Heavy and Komet (KPV engine) Junior Lite and Heavy.
The fourth age category is "senior," which is for karters 15 years old and up. Seven divisions make up the Man Cup's senior class structure – TaG, Parilla, Komet Pro and Yamaha. Each senior class runs one program Saturday and Sunday.
The fifth category is "masters," which is reserved for drivers age 35 and up. TaG Masters is the only class in this category and it runs both Saturday and Sunday on a Man Cup weekend for one class championship.
Click here for more information on the Man Cup Series class structure.
Fans will see a number of karting engines raced at a Manufacturers Cup national. The Yamaha KT100 is the most prominent with Yamaha Rookie, Yamaha Sportsman, Yamaha Junior and Yamaha Senior. The KT100 is one of the most traditional engines in karting. It has been in the sport since the 1970s and remains one of the most popular engine packages in sprint and enduro road course karting.
TaG engines continue to gain popularity in sprint karting, and a Manufacturers Cup Series offers a program for nearly every water-cooled TaG engine on the market.
Man Cup's premier TaG classes are TaG Senior and Parilla Senior. Parilla is open only to the Parilla Leopard and the Parilla X30. The Leopard is the most predominant engine in the series as many drivers race it in Parilla Senior and TaG Senior.
The Leopard and X30 may also be run in TaG Senior and TaG Masters, however, they are only two of 10 engines allowed. Other engines you'll normally see at Man Cup nationals in TaG Senior are the Rotax, Motori Seven and Vortex Rok TT. The Cheetah SQ, Easykart IAME and BMB, Sonik and PRD Fireball are also legal.
TaG engines have different minimum kart weights to balance the competition and speed between engine packages.
The other popular engine in Man Cup is the 100cc Komet Piston Valve, which is slightly faster than the Yamaha, and offers classes in Sportsman, Junior and Senior.
The Cadet Sportsman class runs the Comer K80 engine.
A rich history
WKA's Manufacturers Cup Series has long history of gifted racers who've gone on to successful careers in the highest forms of American motorsports. These include IndyCar and NASCAR stars Danica Patrick and Sam Hornish Jr., the late Dan Wheldon, IndyCar racer turned team owner Sarah Fisher and NASCAR up-and-comer Paulie Harraka.
NASCAR Sprint Cup standouts Jamie McMurray and A.J. Allmendinger continue to compete in the Man Cup Series when their schedules allow. The two have competed in the TaG divisions for several consecutive years at WKA Daytona KartWeek's Margay Sprint Championships and both attended the Zoom Zoom Nationals at Carolina Motorsports Park in March 2011 on an off-Cup weekend.

A Beech Island man wanted in Aiken for allegedy shooting his ex-wife is now in police custody.
Frank Muns, 48, of Beard Road, was arrested Saturday around 6:30 p.m. at the America's Best Inn & Suites on Gordon Highway in Augusta. Muns was wanted for attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
According to an Aiken County Sheriff's report, Muns allegedly shot his ex-wife during a confrontation just before noon on April 6. The victim told officers she was returning home when she was approached by Muns. Police say he shot the victim twice in the abdomen as she was sitting in her car.
She was transported to Georgia Regents Medical Centers.
Police say they were led to Muns through an anonymous call. Muns was taken to the Richmond County Detention Center for holding, pending an extradition hearing.
Deputies from the Aiken County Sheriff's Office, assisted by the U.S. Marshall's South East Regional Task Force and Richmond County Sheriff's Office, assisted in the arrest.

The Elkin Police Department and with Yadkin Riverkeeper on March 23 conducted Operation Medicine Drop at Walgreens in Elkin.
The event, along with collections received in the Elkin Police Departments medicine box totaled 14,238 doses.
Elkin Police Chief Monroe Wagoner said, "The department has collected a total of approximately 47,000 doses in the past two years."
The collection of prescription pills has always been a focus of Wagoner's, he said.
"The Elkin Police Department conducts three Operation Medicine Drop events a year. The drop box located in the lobby of the Elkin Police Department is accessible to anyone 27/7 to deposit unwanted medications," said Wagoner.
Wagoner stated that he works in collaboration with other law enforcement and community-based organizations to help combat prescription drug abuse.
Also last week, more than 12 million doses of old prescription and over-the-counter drugs were collected across North Carolina last week during Operation Medicine Drop, breaking previous records, Attorney General Roy Cooper announced.
"North Carolinians cleaned out their medicine cabinets and turned in more unused prescription drugs than ever before," Cooper said. "This is a great way to help keep potentially dangerous prescription drugs away from those who could abuse them."
Wagoner said Operation Medicine Drop is a partnership of Safe Kids North Carolina, the Riverkeepers of North Carolina, Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of North Carolina and local law enforcement agencies working together to encourage the public to safely dispose of unused and unwanted medication.
"By providing safe and secure ways for people to get rid of unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medications, Operation Medicine Drop helps prevent accidental poisonings and drug abuse while protecting our waters," said Chief Wagoner.
Safely disposing of old medications through Operation Medicine Drop events keeps the drugs from being misused or abused with potentially deadly consequences. Nationwide, fatal drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death due to unintentional injury, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Prescription and over-the-counter medications cause more than three-fourths of all unintentional poisonings in North Carolina, according to the N.C. Division of Public Health, and approximately 1,000 people died in North Carolina last year from overdosing on prescription drugs.

Great apps! But no love for Readdle :(
Best paid iPhone apps
The App Store is flooded with apps, both good and bad, so it can be overwhelming to decided which apps you're going to spend your hard earned cash (or gift cards) on. Stress no more! We've gathered up some of our all time favorite apps that we believe to be worth every penny.
1Password 4
1Password is not only one of the best apps for your iPhone, but one of the best for your iPad, Mac, and PC as well. With 1Password, you can say goodbye to using the same, insecure password for all your logins all over the internet and instead give each login its own individual secure password yet only need to remember one password to gain access to them all.
1Password is not just extremely useful and practical, but it's extremely well designed that gives the perfect combination of functionality and beauty.
Apple's built-in Calendar app is great and all, but if you want a superb calendar, take a look at Fantastical for iPhone. This awesome little calendar app lets you simply type your meetings in normal language and it translates them into an appointment for you. For example "meeting with Rene Ritchie next friday at noon" will automatically fill in the appropriate fields to schedule this event. If you're a quick typer, this is typically much faster than adding all the information yourself. Fantastical will make you wish you had more things to add to your calendar so that you can use it more. Seriously.

The iPhone's is, without question, an excellent camera, but the iPhone isn't exactly equipped with all the tools to make the most use out of it -- but Camera+ is! Camera+ is a photography app that is useful for both taking photos and editing them. With features ranging from separate exposure and focus points, stabilizer, dozens of effects and borders, different scene modes, and more, Camera+ is sure to help you grow to become the awesome iPhone photographer you desire to be!

The still camera isn't the only great camera in the iPhone -- the video camera is also pretty great! But with the restrictions of simply shooting video and trimming clips, the built-in Camera app doesn't allow you to actually make movies, but iMovie does! iMovie is a fantastic video editor because it's super easy to make fun videos in just a matter of minutes. Videographers may yearn for more, but for everyone else, iMove is an excellent video editor for the iPhone.

Clear is a task list app for those who don't like task list apps -- a new, gesture-based approach that's manages to be simple without being simplistic. It takes an almost Windows Phone Metro-style approach. It's not a task app for those who want power features or a more traditional interface. But for anyone new to todos, who wants something fresh and fun, who just has a few lists of a few items and finds Reminders far too much of a chore, Clear might be the perfect place to start.

Solar : Weather
Sure, the built-in Weather app on the iPhone gets you basic weather information in a somewhat appealing packages, but it's nothing compared to Solar : Weather. This little gem is a unique weather app for the iPhone that offers a one-of-a-kind interactive UI and experience. Instead of simply displaying the weather forecast for you, Solar: Weather will display different information based on gestures. For example, swiping up with scroll through the 24-hr forecast, swiping down will display the 3 day forecast, and swiping left/right will switch between locations. It's actually very fun to use.

Launch Center Pro
Tap an app icon on your Home screen and what happens? The app opens up, that's it. Tap an app icon in Launch Center Pro and what happens? Messages are ready to write. Events are ready to be added. Movie times are there for you to see. And much, much more. That's because Launch Center Pro doesn't just launch apps, it launches actions. Sure, iOS doesn't allow real app-to-app communication yet, but App Cubby, the makers of Launch Center Pro, have toiled away taking what Apple does allow -- the URL schemes that let apps send and receive small amounts of information in links -- and made something not only wonderful, but wonderfully productive.

I have Fantastical just for the event data entry portion. For it to be my primary calendar it needs two features that other "high end" PIM apps have: 1) Integrated iOS Tasks/Reminders and 2) Current date badge. For now, I'll stick with Pocket Informant as my primary as I do enjoy having a readable event month view.
Yeah, I'll often times use a different app, or my Mac, to make changes to my Calendar if I need to, but for data entry, it's alllll about Fantastical. I use it on my Mac too.
Hourly News is great for news junkies
Although Pocket is better than Instapaper, I've switched to Evernote for saving articles (it also has a browser clipper on the Mac version) because it does so much more, of course.
And Zite is a must-have for a blog aggregator app!
I just don't get all the excitement for Fantastical: until it and other calendar apps add the visual/spatial "Day" view that the native iOS calendar does so well, there's no reason to switch. I mean, who the heck wants to view their daily schedule by looking at a bunch of dots?! No, no, no--takes too much time to figure out what your day looks like and the relative time of each appointments. Hardly intuitive....
That's when using Fantastical for entry and another app for viewing make a great combo. Nothing beats Fantastical for quick entry. Turn off notifications and notification center for Fantastical and use the built-in Calendar for your day-to-day glancing needs. Perfect combination for you :)
I guess it is true. iOS users are really "dumb" with their spending habits.
I expected some stellar apps to be listed here, instead I see silly apps like Weather and Movie editing apps. The latter costing quite a bit. Aside from the calendar app which I can see useful for some hard core event planners and the password keeper, all the other apps have similar no cost ad versions. Why spend your hard earned money needless? I just have to smfh after reading this article.
Fantastical is great. I use roboform for a password generator/filler app, comes with a web browser.Movie360 is great for videos because I can 'pause' and 'resume'. Recorder pro allows me to use icloud for my recordings, nightcap is pretty good for taking low light pictures, flare is great for low light videos, slowpro works well of the 4s that I have, and foldify is great fun on the ipad- I've made a project and I do hope they eventually allow me to import my own picture from the camera roll. Thanks imore humans, I read this site everyday! Dale
Scanner Pro from Readdle is a perfect app with an UI close to Apple's iOS Human Interface Guidelines and functionalities suitable for business use.
I used Camera+ all the time in the past, but I don´t think they made any progress on their app (can´t film with it, no Picasa support
So, I have put it on "page 4" in one of my Photography folders, and now I use the excellent app called KitCam. I highly recommend you check it out. It´s quite new, so there´s a few things they need to tweak and include, and it will rule over all my other Photog apps.
I am a newbie to iOS and iMore. My favorite apps are Tapatalk, Camera+, Downcast, Clear, GroceryIQ, Living Earth, Due, Evernote, Dropbox, GasBuddy, TV Guide, and 1Password [yes, I knwo some of these are free]. My wife and I share the same eaddress so GroceryIQ, Dropbox, and 1Password work wonders for us. Thanks iMore!
Unlock your iphone at extremely cheap prices from unlockiphones.info . Such a great service they offer along with refund ! 100% satisfied !
You can either try these apps available on the App Store:
1. Future Scheduler
2. Location Alerts
3. Photo effects Plus

Hawks Add Another Win Before Break
- Release Date:

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
HAMBURG, NY – Exploding for a season-high 45 second-half points, the Hilbert College men's basketball team sprinted to a 78-51 non-conference win over visiting Cazenovia College (1-2) November 20. With only a four-point half time hold, the Hawks turned up the heat, picked up their defense and scored in transition the last twenty minutes of the night. Anthony Hodge's 7-8 from the foul line lifted him to game-high honors of 18 points. Cazenovia's Matt Perry carried his Wildcats in the first half and finished with 16 tallies by the final horn.
Hilbert forced 12 turnovers and picked up nine steals, held the rebounding, shooting percentage and made foul shots advantage over Cazenovia during the first half. But the Wildcats' were five of nine from long distance while the Hawks made only one of ten attempts. Perry, himself, was unstoppable shooting from well downtown making four of five.
After a brief intermission, both teams still were feeling each out until 14:29 when Nick Nadeau hit his three-pointer to start the 33-13 run for Hilbert. The Hawk played tougher defense on the perimeter forcing bad Wildcat shots that led to long rebounds and fast breaks; Hilbert held a 12-0 lead in fast break points for the second half only.
Firing on all cylinders was Trevor Stark {in photo to right} who had an almost perfect game. He went six for six from the floor (1-1 long distance), four rebounds, five assists and six steals to finish with 13 points. Dan McFarland's 12 points lifted him into the sixth place (1,219) in the Hilbert All-Time scoring list jumping ahead of Hall of Famer, Sam Gioia '05. Mike Jones was active on the boards, pulling down eight for Hilbert.
Cazenovia's Daniel Cunningham chipped in 12 points and dished four assists and Robert Rohrig was credited with game-high nine rebounds in the losing effort.
Hilbert (2-1) has a few days off before they come back together for their next game at Alfred November 24 with a 4 pm tip.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition.

The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.
