For the next stage of the project I used my favorite carving tool... an air powered die grinder. I have a variety of bits for the powerful little tool. For this project I chucked up the biggest one. Although 30 lb Precision Board is tough it grinds up in a hurry with the right tools.
It didn't take long to go over the edges of the sign, removing the glue lines, evening things out and adding texture at the same time. As always the bottom edge was the most tedious so I got that out of the way first. I timed the back just for fun and it only tool a few seconds over seven minutes to pull off the entire back face. I know if I had wanted it perfectly flat I would have spent a lot longer on the project! Even then there's always a small imperfection or ding that seems to drive me crazy. In my opinion the sign looks even more massive because it appears to be hand hewn from a solid piece of wood. The textures set our work apart from what everyone else does too.
I went over the screws to make sure they were countersunk a little more and then I filled the holes with a bit of sculpting epoxy... no sanding necessary on this project because of the texture. Then it was time to break out the welder once more to form up the structure for the base. I used 1/4" pencil rod. A simple grid was welded up. We use this same technique to form all manners of wild creations. In this case it was a simple box, slightly tapered to be wider at the bottom. It's pretty simple stuff.
Next time I'll show how I get the base ready for the rock work... stay tuned.

May 2, 2016:
Sooo I talked to President on Saturday and I will be returning June 21st.. So I know you received the email for returning travel and everyone, but I am not sure when they are going to be able to purchase
my ticket or to reserve my seats with the other missionaries seeing as it should be a few weeks earlier than previewed. But now that we have the date we can move forward with planning out the surgery and plan out everything else that we will need to do over the summer to get everything situated and ready to go for the up coming school year. I would really like to live out of home, whether that be on campus in another housing or in a little house with some other roommates or whatever but I really feel like I need to move forward and get ready for life. That being said I will need a job. So if we could start looking around or asking around that would be awesome!
President Giles has probably just been very busy getting settled in but this coming week or maybe the week after I think it would be OK to contact him. His name is Jarom Giles and his wife is Isabelle. They live right across the street from the church right off of 45th behind Albertsons. So you can find out what you want to do about that or with that information.
So this past week we spent a lot of time focusing on Sihem and her progression to baptism. We had a calendar with all the lessons we needed to teach and on what days and what engagements we needed her to follow to make sure that she had made all the progression needed to be baptized. The only problem that we met this week was that she comes from a strong Muslim background and is living among a lot of people who potentially could become hostile towards her des soon to be baptized. She has accepted the fact that it is somethings she knows she needs to do and hasn't looked back! It's amazing to see her faith and trust that everything will be ok! But we were still a little uneasy with letting her just go straight to baptism so we called president to get some advice and ask him who he would like to interview her and he himself will be coming down from Lyon to give her, her baptismal interview and see the situation for himself. It's such a nice thing for him to do! I can't believe he offered to come down but he did and so tomorrow around 12 he will be interviewing her for her baptism. So everyone pray for her! And he is also going to talk to me more about the surgery and what we are going to do for that to make sure I can go home on June 21st and that my surgeries will all be taken care of.
So this week we had a funny/awkward missionary situation. So basically we didn't have anything to do until 4 or 4:30 so we called Sihem to see if we could see her and she didn't answer, so we went and were passing people and we didn't find anyone so we decided to go to the church and get some things done that we had to do for our ward list and updating it so we walked over there and got there a little late and right before one of our rdv's and as we turn the corner there is this old ami named Freddy waiting at the door.. So we let him in and there is a member there to clean the church and so he introduced himself and thought like we had a lesson set up with him, so we went with the flow and like sit down and as soon as we sit down Sihem just shows up to the door of the church! So we let her in and the member gets more confused and so we go and sit back down and then Maddelana (who we were actually waiting for) shows up and comes in and so we were all just there super awkwardly like trying to figure out what to do haha we had two Amis, a recent convert and a member all in the
church just confused as a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off. We ended up teaching everyone together and then let Freddy go home, asked Sihem to go wait for us upstairs while we talked to Maddelana and then ended up teaching Sihem afterwards haha so we are pretty efficient I guess.
We also went on exchange this past week, I was with elder Kahn who is in Valance. He is from Utah and in his second transfer. We met up and went to play basketball with a member who ended up not being able to come so we balled with a couple kids who were there, and while we were playing we left our ball on the side of the court where two little girls were playing. And they grabbed our ball to play with and I didn't think anything about it. So we finish balling and walk over to our stuff to grab our ball and our bags and low and behold.... No ball... We got ripped off by some little girls!! Haha the ball wasn't very good anyway though.
We are all good for the FaceTime at 3:30 I think. And I never got the package! I think it is because on our mailbox it is written "les missionnaires" not "les elders" so they probably saw 'elder Schettler' and had no idea where it was supposed to go. Sorry I forgot to tell you that before! But yeah I will have my new and last transfer assignment by then! I will let you know all about it, I think I should probably be staying here and probably will be getting a new companion.
Elder Schettler
May 9, 2016:
Yeah so I got my new companion yesterday and he is super sick! His name is Elder Tyndale-Biscoe. He was born in London but he has spent basically all of his life in Malaga Spain. He has actually been out for like 7 and a half months now so he isn't super old but he has a lot of stuff already figured out. We are gonna have a bunch of fun I feel like! He is super cool!
Our baptism was super cool though., I know a member has the pictures we took so once I get those I will send those as well to you! But as for now I only have super blurry ones that a member took on a different elders iPad... The older generations just can't seems to figure out how to take pictures on electronics or anything. Haha bless their hearts though for willing to do it for us. But everything went
pretty well, we had to wake up at 5 and be the the church at around 6:30 to print programs, print music sheets, make copies of papers, fill the font and just make sure everything would be ready right after church for her baptism. She came to church as normal and had a great time! Then just as soon as everything was done we started to realize (as every thing we do as missionaries something wasn't correct) the person who was supposed to be presiding had to change cause one of them is a police officer and got called in on emergency and the bishop couldn't stay so we were frantically searching for someone to replace him. We finally found the second counselor in a interview with someone like five minutes before it started and the DMP (who baptized her) had to conduct as well because the person who was supposed to conduct wasn't there either... Haha but after that things went smooth until we realized that there were more people than music sheets by a large number so Elder Warner had to rush out to print some more off and when he was gone we had to do the opening prayer without him (he was supposed to offer it) but everything with the baptism went great actually! No hitch there and when we waited we sang a compilation of songs that Sihem had picked for us to sing. We sang "I'm a Child of God", the day of my baptism and a few more. Then when she was done she
walked straight to the pulpit and started giving a testimony haha the bishop just looks at us and like shrugs and just let her finish, she gave a super good testimony though! She was so excited and you could tell she was like the happiest person ever at that moment! But afterwards we just had some cake a cookies and other little things people brought and everyone gave her the warmest welcome ever! It was a really good baptism though! Everything ended up ok haha but that's about it for this week.
May 23, 2016:
Hey everyone., sorry I didn't have time to write at all last week! We had a bunch of stuff to do! I was in Lyon to go to missionary leadership council. It was a good time, I got to see all the people who I will be going home with this coming transfer. We talked a lot about what we need to do to help our mission and ourselves reach out to obtain our former goal of 91 baptisms! It was a really fun and good experience. But the week before that was my first week with Elder Tyndale from Spain, he is super cool! He is from Malaga and he loves to have fun like I do. We get along super well!
The first week we were together we went to lunch with a kid in the ward who was preparing to go on a mission to Canada! His name is Ryan and he is super awesome, he left last week and I am not sure how he is doing yet cause I haven't heard anything but I'm sure he is going to kill it out there in Montreal! We also had a rdv with a couple new Amis named Nowella and Pamela who are both from Congo, they came to a rdv together (we only knew Nowella) and we were able to teach them with a member and we had such a good lesson and invited them both to be baptized. Nowella said yes right away and Pamela asked a little more questions and said she would think about it. We were able to see
them again during the week and she said that she would prepare herself as best as she could for baptism on the 18th June!
This past week we were able to do a bunch of stuff as well, we got to do some service for a member and we got to teach a bunch of lessons to our Amis as well as zone training! So we started the week off with a lesson with Nowella and Pamela where we taught them both a bunch of the gospel and commandments which went super well. We also got to see Nell our 16 year old aim who is getting baptized soon and taught her like almost all the commandments in one lesson which was very
difficult believe it or not haha we did it super fast and got through the lesson in under 45 minutes... With little kids and everything! Nell is super cool and understands everything very well. I am excited
for her and hope she will be able to be baptized before I leave., there are a bunch of things that will be happening the following weekends and so it might be pushed until the week after I leave. 😔
But good news from this past week is that we have started to see our amie Marie-France again! She is like 22 and super awesome! So this is super good news for us. We are going to see her with the Baret Family this week when we teach Nell. So I guess we will be doing a double lesson thingy. This week we also got to help someone move a washer and pulled it down two stories and dumped it at a dump and then picked up the new one and dragged it up two flights again which wouldn't have been that bad if I didn't cut my hand carrying the first washer. I had blood just like running down my finger by the time we were done. Haha I hid it from the member so he wouldn't freak out but yeah I got
rocked. The rest of the week was sort of just normal passes and looking for less actives and new Amis. Nothing too interesting to talk about.
Happy birthday to dad and to Brittany., it looks like both of them got little trips to go do what they wanted! I am super jealous of Brittany going to Mexico on a cruise! A cruise sounds so much fun! I want to either go on a cruise or go to Newport Beach or somewhere in Cali in general. I miss the waves and just seeing the ocean and being able to go in. 🏊🏼🏊🏼
Elder Schettler
Letter to Mom- May 30, 2016:
So our Amis this week were pretty on fire! They were showing up for rdv's and keeping engagements like it was their business! I was so pleased to see our Amis who had struggles to find time to see us, end up being able to find a little bit of time and coming to us and learning about wheat we had for them that day. We also hadn't seen Sihem the week before so this week we tried to see her a few times and finish off some of our new convert lessons! She loves talking about gospel stuff and having a good time. She has really come out of her shell since we have met her, at first she was pretty soft spoken and didn't want to interrupt or be loud. And now she will just butt in and testify to others and it is the coolest/funniest thing ever! She even got up this past week to give her testimony in fast and testimony meeting! She did such a good job too, I was so proud of her! It is amazing to see her progression from week to week. And we also had our Amie Pamella show up to church, she normally shows up in normal clothes but this past week they asked what they needed to wear so I explained that normally woman wear skirts to church, but it wasn't something that is required to come to church, but she went out of her way and got all dressed up and showed up all by herself (she normally comes with her friend, but her friend couldn't come). We also went to see Louise Eyraud who is 79 and will be getting baptized at the end of this transfer. They are super cool, all of our Amis are doing pretty well and we are excited for them all! We should be having some success at the end of this transfer and at the beginning of next transfer so let's hope that everything goes as planned and there are no speed bumps or anything that make it so things don't roll out as planned!
As for how I feel at the end of my mission, I would say that for sure my confidence has gone up, mostly in the fact that the language isn't really a barrier anymore and the fact that it has become somewhat normal to just talk to people that you don't know and try to get to know them. There are a lot of things you learn on a mission that give you a certain confidence that you aren't really aware of either. Like most of the changes in myself have been very slow forming and ruling over these two years and it would be hard for me to pick them out, as I have been watching them grow little by little everyday. The beginning of my mission it was obviously a challenge to speak with people and to get along with people because of the language but now that I am coming to the end I have found that no matter what language you speak or how well you speak all that matters is that the people know that you care about them and you want what is best for them. They can feel your love and that will take you a long way. At the beginning of my mission I feel like I was good at telling people the words I loved them but now as it has progressed I have learned how to show people I love them. It is something that comes naturally when you serve them. I think that is something that will help me throughout my life, and something I want to continue to develop cause I'm still not perfect, or even close. But I am getting better at it, and that's all that matters right?

Letter to Dad-
Letter to Dad-
This week was a pretty good week, we did our usual things we went to see Louise Eyraud who is 79 and will be getting baptized at the end of this transfer, we went and saw our other Amies who are doing great, we had great lessons with them and were able to get a bunch of questions cleared up like what they need to wear to church they both were wondering why everyone wears skirts and all the men wear suits haha so we got to explain that to them and when they came to church they had skirts on! Haha it was so cool to see, cause the first few times they just came in like pants and stuff, which is fine, but they made the extra effort this week to look really good and it showed! We should be having some success at the end of this transfer and at the beginning of next transfer so let's hope that everything goes as planned and there are no speed bumps or anything that make it so things don't roll out as planned! I will be able to explain all of this more in depth when I see you guys in a few weeks., this coming week will probably be my last real update on what's going down out here, then the week after that will mostly just be a coming home email haha so let's make this coming week an email to remember? Ya! It has been a long time that I have been waiting for success like this and it is finally coming,mot is awesome to see what happens when people wait and keep pushing forward through the tough things and the hard times, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. It's just for some of us the tunnels are longer.
I love and appreciate everyone you do for me! Let me know if you have any questions or anything you need to know from me before I get home. We should have a lot of stuff to do that first week I get back.. Ha so let's maybe start planning out what our priorities are and then we can attack those things first.
Elder Schettler
June 7, 2016:
Wow, I would just like to start this letter with my condolences to
Mathew Sneiders family and friends. I never got to know him too well,
but to have your life end early in such a manner is tragic for anyone
and for any family. I am glad that we have the knowledge that there is
a life after this life. That can bring so much comfort especially in
moment of difficulty such as that.
So to reply to your questions for this week related to my return
1. The day I get back I would love to go out to eat with you guys, go
be release preferably as soon as schedule would permit and then to end
the night we could go home and maybe play some family games or just
spend some time together... (And now that we have a hot tub, I already
told some people they could come hot tub that night) haha so I might
have some people coming over later that night for a bit to hot tub..
Haha I hope that is ok! But I really really want to hot tub. I think
the temple might be a little too time consuming and if we are going
the next day that will work for me. (We could maybe just go to the
temple grounds as the whole family?)
2. I think I answered that in number one. Haha
3. Things before surgery that I wrote down were, cell phone, boating,
shopping for clothes, a movie night, go to breakfast, I wanted to also
go on a hike, I want to go see my friends (norm, the Dunn family, Jake
Flynn etc.) but aside from those few things we should be pretty free.
I would be ok with doing maybe some day trips to place like park city
or something with the fam. I will unpack when I find time haha I
shouldn't have too much cause I just sent a box home full of books and
stuff, 7kg to be exact.
4. I always preferred the food to be right after Sacrament Meeting
back at our place, and I would love some crêpes or maybe some
Baguettes and cheese with fruit. Just good old French stuff haha those
are just some ideas, if you can think of anything else I would love to
hear them! Or croissants maybe?? Mostly stuff we could buy ready to
This week was a good week though, we had a bunch of stuff that we got
done. We were able to see a bunch of our Amis and even got one of them
over to a members house to have dinner with us all! It was so much
fun. Tuesday night we had a rdv with our Amie Marie-France who is 22
years old and super awesome! She is studying pharmacy, so she is
pretty smart. The second councilor in the bishopric asked us to invite
her to his house to eat and have a little lesson so that is exactly
what we did! It went sooo well. He is the coolest guy everM his name
is Élie Baret and he is legit like a comedian. He is a gendarme which
is basically the equivalent to SWAT in America so you would hunk he is
super serious, but no. Haha we had fajitas and they were super good!
We also had lessons with Pamella and Mmd. Eyraud who are both too
cool! Pamella was sick most of the week, and so we offered to give her
a blessing and she wanted us to so we did and it was a cool experience
to be able to bless her and see her thankfulness for the blessing. She
is making good progress and we are happy with how she is doing and
everything. Then Mmd Eyraud our old lady amie, is still going strong.
Haha she comes every week and is just counting down the days till her
baptism! It is down to 12 days! She will be in the water soon enough,
she is so excited! We are going to do her baptismal interview tomorrow
so pray that everything goes well. Siham our recent convert, is doing
super well as well! She comes every week and to like almost every
activities there is to come to at the church every week. She is at
English class, family home evenings and institute every week. It is
crazy! I do t know how she does it. She is at the church more than we
are some days haha. We are in the process of helping her commence her
genealogy so she can take family names to the temple this coming
temple trip in a few months!
Grenoble is a beautiful place, my favorite thing is the mountains for
sure,mi love just looking around at the mountains and it makes me feel
like I am at home a little bit. Something I will never get over is the
beauty of mountains and the forests. I love the beach and sun, but
something about the mountains makes me feel right at home. And aside
from that I really like the city itself, it is super cool looking with
a bunch of old buildings but it is still a more modern French city
than Marseille for example. So it has the best of both worlds,
classique French style and modern art flares. Haha but my comp is such
a cool kid, this transfer he has really been teaching me the
importance of family. He loves his family more than anything else and
it is just s good example that I have to learn how a man should treat
his family. I thought I treated you guys pretty good but I can always
do better. Ha but as for things I have developed on the mission is
probably the habit of waking up early. That was not me at all before
the mission especially during summer! But now I can't sleep in even if
I try! I woke up at 5:30 this morning and I don't even know why, I
guess my body thought that I had had enough sleep for the night...
Cause I def could not go back to sleep. That and I can sort of grow a
small beard now. Haha but aside from that it is just personality
traits I feel like I have developed, but I don't even know what they
are. You'll have to wait and then tell me what you see.
Anyway, I love you guys so much! I will write you next week with my
final email and everything. Hope all is well and stays well!

June 13, 2016
So this past week seriously flew by! We had a bunch of stuff we had to
do, we had to do two exchanges before the transfer was over and we
barely squeezed them in this past week haha. Things on the mission
seem to just get busier and busier as you are here longer, I swear at
the beginning I would have never imagined how fast time would be going
and how much stuff you do at the end. It is crazy! That being said I
am trying to appreciate the moments, take in everything and as we say
in French "j'en profite" which means I'm just trying to make every
moment worth it. I was able to be in Lyon twice this week and I also
go to spend a bit in valance. It is always a good time to return to
cities where you have already been and know some of the people there.
When I go back to Lyon it is funny to see which people still remember
me even though i haven't seen them in over a year! It is such a good
So this week we started it off with an exchange with the Ecully elders
so one of them could come interview our amie to be baptized. So we
decided to take advantage of the moment we had and do an exchange
cause we both had pretty busy days. So I show up in Lyon and we call
the Amis who they were going to see and only one of them confirms...
Classique.. Haha I swear this happens every exchange. It's become sort
of the norm that things never ever ever go as planned on exchanges. So
we went and saw the ami we had to see and ate lunch with him and
taught him. He is from Mexico and is getting baptized is next week!
Elder spoors is borrowing my white pants for his baptism( I won't need
those anymore...) so that is going to be awesome! And afterwards we
just went out and found some old Amis and talked to some people cause
no one else could see us. It was a good fun day though, elder spoors
is from London area so we got to talk a little about his home and what
England is like. Sounds like a pretty cool place. We might have to go
out there! Haha but now Madame Eyraud our amie is for sure getting
baptized this coming week! I will send you pictures of it! She is
super cool and counting down the days till her baptism. We are
currently at 5.
Aside from that we also had an exchange in valance this week where we
went and did a big move, so we brought all four missionaries and tried
to just get it done as fast as possible, it took us about half an hour
to get everything out of their apartment and maybe another half hour
to get everything back in the new one! Seriously one of the fastest
moves I've ever been a part of. French people normally are not up to
par with their moving skills, but this one was well organized and we
got it done in a jiffy! Such a change of pace from the four hour five
hour moves I've seen my whole mission! But we then went out to find
some people at a park (look at pics) which is probably the only cool
thing in valance to be honest.. But we just chatted with people and
stuff. I also got to see some members I knew when I was in valance for
a couple weeks and so we caught up and got to chat a bit. That was
super cool!
The highlight of the week though was stake conference in Lyon. So I
was there Saturday and Sunday for conference and it was a blast! We
got to see a bunch of missionaries and tons of members I knew in
Confluence. There is a member Frère Girard, who saw me and just came
over and gave me the biggest hug! He has since my depart, been married
and sealed in the temple! He told me that with the biggest smile ever
on his face and I could help but smile right back at him. I also got
to talk to the always awesome Leporé family! Seriously my favorite
members in all of France. Roland is the stake president now and he did
a great job, he gave a talk on examples of faith in history and how we
should do the same. His wife as well have a talk in French which was
pretty dang good considering she's American. It was all around a great
conference in Lyon.
Ok now for like my last email type stuff... I guess I should maybe
explain a little bit of what I have learned and what not during my
mission and how I have grown personally, spiritually and in all areas
of my life. I am not positive however exactly how to explain it. It
took me two years to learn and I guarantee that it is not all there
yet, but what I would like to express is my love to each and everyone
of you who have been there with my the whole way. It has meant a lot
to me to hear your support and love no matter how consistent or
profound our contact, I appreciate it. I also know that no matter what
we sacrifice for the lord he will give us back ten fold what we have
offered unto him. And I feel as though I have come to appreciate the
small things in life deeper and to be able to experience things with a
more clear vision of who I am and what role I play. I have come to
understand the gospel on a deeper more personal level and it has
become something real for me, something worth sharing with everyone.
So if you want to get to know more about the changes in my life I
would like to invite you to spend time with me, and see for yourself
what has changed. Cause frankly I have no idea, there are too many
things for me to notice.
I will tell you all about my week when I get home 😊 I am unbelievably
excited to see, hug and talk to each one of you!
As for my questions
1. What time will we be going to the temple?
2. How many times can we go boating before surgery? And can I bring friends..?
3. Any requests of things you want me to bring back?? Chocolat? Haha
4. What is the topic of my homecoming talk? 😬

That isn't to say that a week isn't needed. We have covered quite a bit but there is still more to go over. I never realized fully how much Halliburton pays attention to safety and detail. We have a few more safety courses to take before things will be wrapping up. They really do try to take care of their people.
The crazy thing is that none of the stuff we are going over this week is even remotely related to the job I will be doing. I will start to cover that next week when I get back to the camp or 'location' I will be working out of. Things are shaping up pretty interesting.
I know I am missing everyone back at home quite a bit and I can't wait to get back there when I finally leave here Friday.
The weather has been pretty nice and I am really enjoying this nice fall weather. I hope it continues like this as the heat was getting a little old lol.
Well I have some homework to finish that they sent home with us so I better get busy. Later!!

Hard to believe we've not only made it through the second trimester but two-thirds of this whole pregnancy. 12 weeks left! wow! As of our big appointment monday he is 2.5lbs and 15 inches, about the 50th percentile--exactly on target to keep our June 9th due date. 3 months. I'm starting to get what I'm sure is the beginning of nesting. It is driving me nuts not to be able to start getting his bedroom together. Here's the short list of what we have to do for his nursery:
- Order his furniture & matress
- Deliver the double bed in the room to Coach's parents house
- Remove the DVDs from their current location on the floor of the nursery
- Replace the curtain rod
- Get blinds put in his room
- Put the furniture together
- Arrange the furniture
- Hang his mobiles (one above the crib, another above the changing pad)
- Decorate the walls--I have a general idea for one wall but no idea for most of it
- Clean out and organize his closet
- Wash all his bedding and hand-me-down clothes and gifts
Crib mattresses are stumping me. I registered for an organic one because I've read about the nasty chemicals they coat regular crib matresses with and how they may be related to various asthma triggers and maybe even SIDS. They are extremely expensive, but organic ones are the only ones not to use these chemical "treatments". Or do I just buy the $99 one and put an organic mattress pad on it? UGH! What to do! I need to decide fairly soon! Ugh. This is my only remaining baby delema.
Random pregnancy note: When he is low (even lower than usual) I pee every 15 minutes almost because he's basically camped on my bladder. The next day if he moves I could go hours like a normal person, it's totally a sign of what is to come when he gets REALLY big and drops. Usually after about 36 weeks. Today I've peed like 12 times, never more than a teaspoon. But I am clenching all day because it feels like you are constantly about to pee on yourself. It's such an annoying feeling.
In case you missed it, here are all 27 weeks of my Baby Diary. :)

Infection with Plasmodium berghei ANKA induces cerebral malaria in susceptible mice. Brain-sequestered CD8(+) T cells are responsible for this pathology. We have evaluated the role of CCR2, a chemokine receptor expressed on CD8(+) T cells. Infected CCR2-deficient mice were as susceptible to cerebral malaria as wild-type mice were, and CD8(+) T-cell migration to the brain was not abolished.

At Ulpanit Darca Kiryat Shmona, they marked the Sigad holiday, one of the holidays of Beta Israel (daughters of Israel). The special activity took place while connecting to the significant meanings of the day of purification and renewal, which are anticipation and longing for the Land of Israel, and the goal of giving a platform for the student leaders who are immigrants from Ethiopia.
On Friday, during the school's welcoming of the Sabbath, the Ulpanit's rabbi, Rabbi Yehuda Ochion, taught about the important significance of this day and the new month prayers for the Hebrew month of Kislev were dedicated to the holiday. The girls taught their friends a song in Amharic about the longing for Jerusalem as well as a special dance, all of which created a happy atmosphere of true acceptance and sharing. The school principal, Naphtali Krauss, emphasized: "I feel that this is a special privilege for us at the Ulpanit to take part in this important mission of immigrant absorption. True connections are created here between the Israeli girls and the immigrant girls, and we all benefit."

After a few months of pulling my hair out, I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction (especially since I build DAW's for a business).
I'm having a problem on my personal DAW. I'm not able to get either of the PMI libraries to play properly in Kontakt 2.0.2 (either in Nuendo 3.2 or standalone). I'm getting occassional pops, clicks, and dropouts (also a wierd sustain pedal won't release issue when using the biggest patch in Emperor). The strange thing is that neither the CPU or disk meter ever maxes out. It got to the point that i completly wiped my PC and started over again. The PC is an Athalon XP 3200 with 1.5 GB of RAM. The samples were loaded to a 10,000 RPM Raptop drive where the were the first thing loaded onto the HD for the best performance possible (defragging after each library was loaded). The system is completely optimized for audio work and i don't have any problems with anything else i'm using.
So does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

"Thanksgiving" is upon us. But what exactly is this holiday all about?
Think back to what you remember learning from grade school about the Thanksgiving holiday. Likely, you'll conjure up warm fuzzy feelings about the early settlers and the Native Americans helping each other out by sharing food and declaring peace among themselves, eating turkey and maize, blah, blah, blah... yadda, yadda, yadda...
But our textbooks conveniently left out the dark side of what really happened.
Besides from all the brutal massacres and other attempts of the English settlers to wipe out the indigenous people from the land we now call the United States, another grim part of the story is the devastating effects of socialism when practiced by the settlers.
My question is, if the powers-that-be in this country have been deceiving the American public about this small part of our history through teaching lies in the schoolroom, what else are they hiding from us? Trust the government? Sure, ask an Indian.
Read on to learn the facts about the real "Thanksgiving" story. Article by Richard J. Maybury:
Each year at this time school children all over America are taught the official Thanksgiving story, and newspapers, radio, TV, and magazines devote vast amounts of time and space to it. It is all very colorful and fascinating.
It is also very deceiving. This official story is nothing like what really happened. It is a fairy tale, a whitewashed and sanitized collection of half-truths which divert attention away from Thanksgiving's real meaning.
The official story has the pilgrims boarding the Mayflower, coming to America and establishing the Plymouth colony in the winter of 1620-21. This first winter is hard, and half the colonists die. But the survivors are hard working and tenacious, and they learn new farming techniques from the Indians. The harvest of 1621 is bountiful. The Pilgrims hold a celebration, and give thanks to God. They are grateful for the wonderful new abundant land He has given them.
The official story then has the Pilgrims living more or less happily ever after, each year repeating the first Thanksgiving. Other early colonies also have hard times at first, but they soon prosper and adopt the annual tradition of giving thanks for this prosperous new land called America.
The problem with this official story is that the harvest of 1621 was not bountiful, nor were the colonists hardworking or tenacious. 1621 was a famine year and many of the colonists were lazy thieves.
In his 'History of Plymouth Plantation,' the governor of the colony, William Bradford, reported that the colonists went hungry for years, because they refused to work in the fields. They preferred instead to steal food. He says the colony was riddled with "corruption," and with "confusion and discontent." The crops were small because "much was stolen both by night and day, before it became scarce eatable."
In the harvest feasts of 1621 and 1622, "all had their hungry bellies filled," but only briefly. The prevailing condition during those years was not the abundance the official story claims, it was famine and death. The first "Thanksgiving" was not so much a celebration as it was the last meal of condemned men.
But in subsequent years something changes. The harvest of 1623 was different. Suddenly, "instead of famine now God gave them plenty," Bradford wrote, "and the face of things was changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many, for which they blessed God."
Thereafter, he wrote, "any general want or famine hath not been amongst them since to this day." In fact, in 1624, so much food was produced that the colonists were able to begin exporting corn.
What happened?
After the poor harvest of 1622, writes Bradford, "they began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop." They began to question their form of economic organization.
This had required that "all profits & benefits that are got by trade, working, fishing, or any other means" were to be placed in the common stock of the colony, and that, "all such persons as are of this colony, are to have their meat, drink, apparel, and all provisions out of the common stock." A person was to put into the common stock all he could, and take out only what he needed.
This "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" was an early form of socialism, and it is why the Pilgrims were starving. Bradford writes that "young men that are most able and fit for labor and service" complained about being forced to "spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children." Also, "the strong, or man of parts, had no more in division of victuals and clothes, than he that was weak." So the young and strong refused to work and the total amount of food produced was never adequate.
To rectify this situation, in 1623 Bradford abolished socialism. He gave each household a parcel of land and told them they could keep what they produced, or trade it away as they saw fit. In other words, he replaced socialism with a free market, and that was the end of famines.
Many early groups of colonists set up socialist states, all with the same terrible results. At Jamestown, established in 1607, out of every shipload of settlers that arrived, less than half would survive their first twelve months in America. Most of the work was being done by only one-fifth of the men, the other four-fifths choosing to be parasites. In the winter of 1609-10, called "The Starving Time," the population fell from five-hundred to sixty.
Then the Jamestown colony was converted to a free market, and the results were every bit as dramatic as those at Plymouth. In 1614, Colony Secretary Ralph Hamor wrote that after the switch there was "plenty of food, which every man by his own industry may easily and doth procure."
He said that when the socialist system had prevailed, "we reaped not so much corn from the labors of thirty men as three men have done for themselves now." Before these free markets were established, the colonists had nothing for which to be thankful. They were in the same situation as Ethiopians are today, and for the same reasons.
But after free markets were established, the resulting abundance was so dramatic that the annual Thanksgiving celebrations became common throughout the colonies, and in 1863, Thanksgiving became a national holiday.
Thus the real reason for Thanksgiving, deleted from the official story, is: Socialism does not work; the one and only source of abundance is free markets, and we thank God we live in a country where we can have them.
This nugget if information has been brought to you by NC SILENCER, a great place to buy guns and silencers and other stocking stuffers for your loved ones this holiday season.

I'm wondering what "lie about the teaching of Rome" had come up when you first piped up on post #8? The original thread was about praising the Lord in song.
The loons and liars I was referring to were Luther and Calvin.
The thread is an open thread, boatbums. Besides, if you read #8, it pretty much answers your question, so what's the point of it?
Even Gnostics and Mormons praise Jesus. Does that mean, one can not raise objections to that on an open thread? Change the thread to a reformed Caucus and pat each other on the back without interference. Ask RnMomof7 why she made it an open thread.


text: My system is telling me to check the salt cell. So, I figured out where the salt cell is (bahahaha). And, I need some more instructions. I know there is a service option on the board. If I put it in service mode, do I still need to cut off the breakers? (I found a youtube video) I don't want to have to re-program everything. I just got this pool this summer. I didn't realize how complicated it would be. I'm guessing if I flip the breakers (of course I have no idea which one is for what, so I would have to flip them all) that I would have to do that. At the same time, I'm not in the mood for a good shock today either.

The town of Ajo is ideally located as a base from which to explore Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, 30 miles south, and offers a number of attractions in its own right, including the mile-wide New Cornelia copper mine. If you're looking to stay the night, La Siesta offers the choice of traditional motel rooms at the front, and charming cabins - and a small pool - to the rear. It's nothing fancy but the rooms are clean and the welcome - like the weather - is warm!

Chocolate Cake anyone? Okay, I know it's January. The excitement of Christmas is over for another year, the 'New Year, New Me' resolutions have started, the diets are still being fought and the general 'beginning of a new year' blues are still in full swing…
But have no fear- I have good news! Today, the 27th January, is National Chocolate Cake Day! This is the perfect excuse for everyone to eat as much Chocolate cake as possible- obviously. So drop the diet for the day and get baking or buying!
We opted for the baking this year as we were sent some lovely Chocolate Cake making goodies along with a pack of the brand new Series 4 Num Noms!
You may have seen some of our previous posts, Num Noms Mini Chef Creations or Crazy Creations, where Violet has created some wacky creations using some inspiration from her favourite Num Noms. So this time, to join in celebrating National Chocolate Cake Day, we baked some chocolate cakes and Violet went wild decorating them!
This Series 4 pack is super colourful and Violet love's opening each one and sniffing (they're scented!) them to see if she can guess which kind they are. She even got a glittery lip gloss and nail polish this time- now she's 4 this is an absolute must for her!
Obviously every chocolate cake needs ridiculously gooey fudge icing, well according to Violet it does anyway! So that's where she started. She then decided that the decoration had to be as colourful as possible- just like her favourite Num Nom BDay Sprinkled!
As you can see, she went a bit wild with the decorations and I'm sure you'll agree that they certainly are as colourful as the Num Noms!
Now, let's all eat Chocolate Cake!

"The retreat gave me a wonderful opportunity to connect with other blokes, all good men, to address some needs that perhaps I don't allow to surface too often. It was just good to share personally and to do so in the context of my Catholic faith."
"For me, Menalive was not therapy or theology, pious preaching or evangelical enthusiasm, all of which would probably have turned me off. It was simply the power of brotherhood, ordinary blokes getting together in a spirit of solidarity, comradeship and care. We were sharing our common humanity as men, sharing our common responsibilities, interests and values: respect, honesty, concern and care. Barriers broke down when we came together and we became more alive."
I've never heard of this before - what is MAX18NZ?
This is the first event of its kind to be run in New Zealand so you can be excused for not having heard of it before. MAX18NZ is a fully Catholic weekend event for men. It will provide the opportunity to step aside from the busyness of the world for a brief time so as to try and listen, learn and grow in what God is saying to us. It's a chance to deepen our understanding of God's call and challenge within our lives in the company of other like-minded men of faith. Men will be travelling to this event from all over New Zealand. We are even expecting some to travel over from Australia for this.
2. Does this event have the approval and blessing of the Catholic Church?
Yes. Bishop Pat Dunn of Auckland is fully supportive of this event as is the National Chaplain of Joshua Catholic Men's Fellowship, Emeritus Bishop Denis Browne. Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane has been very supportive of this type of event in Australia over a number of years.
What is the meaning behind the name for this event, MAX18NZ?
The name has 3 parts to it. menALIVE over the last 10 years or so have run many parish based events for men across Australia, and in recent years, a small number of similar events here in New Zealand as well. Over the years, menALIVE Australia have also hosted an annual national Catholic men's event in Queensland which they call menALIVE to the MAX. They differ from the parish based weekends as they are live-in weekends, running from Friday night through to Sunday lunchtime, and offer a more comprehensive program than what would be presented at a parish based weekend – so a maxed-out weekend event if you like. These annual weekends are known as MAX weekends, MAX standing for
Men Alive for Christ
. MAX is followed by the year of the event, e.g. MAX16, MAX17 and so on. To distinguish our New Zealand event it has been called MAX18NZ.
What is the significance of the word "UNLESS" with regard to this event?
The word "UNLESS" appears a number of times in the scriptures. An example of one of these is a verse we know well, John 12:24 "UNLESS a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." UNLESS can be a challenging word and throughout the weekend, we will be encouraged to try and discover the "UNLESS" in our lives that God wants to bring to our attention. This short video clip helps to underscore this theme:
Who are the organisers behind this event?
MAX18NZ is a joint venture between Joshua Catholic Men's Fellowship here in New Zealand and menALIVE who are based in Australia but have two New Zealand regional representatives, Jim Gribble and Mike Conroy.
What is Joshua Catholic Men's Fellowship?
Joshua Catholic Men's Fellowship has been around in New Zealand for more than 30 years since the time a small group of men felt that they were being called by God to form a group for men to come together for worship, prayer, teaching and fellowship. It operates with the approval and blessing of the NZ Catholic Bishop's conference and currently has Emeritus Bishop Denis Browne as its National Chaplain. Since its inception in Auckland in 1986, Joshua has spread to most regions in NZ in one form or another. Some branches hold regular monthly meetings that are open for anyone to attend. Other smaller groups tend to meet less formally as home based prayer groups. Over the years, Joshua Catholic Men's Fellowship has organised and run many live-in weekend retreats for Catholic men. It is with great excitement that they have collaborated with menALIVE Australia to present this weekend. For further information about Joshua you can go to
What is menALIVE?
menALIVE is a national Catholic ministry to men in Australia. It was founded in Brisbane in 2003 to reach out and bring Catholic men together, to renew their faith in God and to encourage them to become an active force in the life of the church. The flagship event that menALIVE fosters is the menALIVE parish based weekends where men of all ages and walks of life find the opportunity to share their faith and review what matters most in their lives, whilst enjoying the company of other Catholic men. Over the last 12 years, teams of lay men have run more than 350 events for over 20,000 men mostly in Australia as well as several parish based weekends here in New Zealand. As well as parish based weekends, the ministry has grown to also present programs such as Growing Good Men father and son events, Catholic Man Breakfast Series, Renaissance of Marriage seminars and several more. For further information about menALIVE you can go to
What are the accommodation facilities like at Kings College?
Kings College is a well-known boarding school in Auckland. Situated on a large sprawling campus, it boasts well-maintained single room accommodation houses, a great cafeteria and other excellent facilities for hosting weekend events such and MAX18NZ.
How much is this going to cost?
The organising team is working hard to keep the cost of the weekend affordable. The registration cost has not yet been finalised but with the sponsorship that is being sought for this event, we are expecting the figure to be no more than $250.00 per man.
What can I expect at MAX18NZ
The program will commence on the Friday evening and runs through to Sunday around midday when it will conclude with Mass and lunch. There is a great line up of speakers who will cover key topics around growing and revitalising our faith as men in the church today, plenty of opportunity for discussion in small groups, workshop options, some free time and a whole lot of new friendships to make. And of course one of the most important components of any great men's weekend event, food…man food will be served in abundance.
Will there be Mass and the Sacrament of Reconciliation available there?
Yes, of course. A Catholic men's event would not be complete without both. Mass will be celebrated on both the Saturday and the Sunday.

Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success.
At the exact halfway point in the year, I find it useful to look back to see what I have accomplished—and look forward to see what I hope to accomplish before the year runs its course.
In a way, this turning-point is a critical juncture in reaffirming that what I say I want, is indeed what I intend to spend my working days pursuing—and if I have the power necessary to transform my hopes into tangible results.
A thought on your climb to the top…
Take a moment to reflect back on the last 5 years of your life.
You spent your time. Did you get what you hoped for in return?
In other words, was the climb worth the effort?
The Imagination Connection
When we were creating The Power of TQ and 10 Choices of Intentional Excellence, we asked a simple question, "Why do some people succeed brilliantly, where others fail dismally?"
The correct answer, supported by millions of data points, is that people who succeed EXPECT to succeed, where failures fail, simply because they do not EXPECT to succeed in the first place.
Your Wealth Turbocharger
Theodore Levitt, Publisher of the Harvard Business Review and numerous books on marketing and business management, observed that there are 2 key ingredients to world changing success: Innovation and Marketing.
Both are driven by your imagination and an unshakeable belief in what is possible.
What are your top 3, most critical activities?
All last week we talked about passion, purpose and mission. Yes, it is essential that you KNOW your purpose in life. Yes, it is essential that you LIVE your purpose.
Until you do, you are spending the one life you have to live on things that simply don't matter.
Once you understand this… once you commit to this… once you make the determination that you WILL live your purpose… the question becomes "HOW?" Just how in the world am I going to make this happen?
Are you just living in a dream or living your dreams?
This week, we will be doing a "refresher" course on dreams and dreaming. Your dreams are critically important in the grand scheme of things—because without them, your life has no future.
Finding Vision
So much of our lives revolve around people with outstanding vision. The founders of Apple, Amazon, Starbucks, Google, Facebook and Twitter immediately come to mind as men and woman who built companies who changed the very fabric of the future. Who would have ever thought that Bill Gate's vision of "making the PC more important than the mainframe…" or Larry Page's vision of "indexing all the knowledge…
These three thieves, Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, will rob you of your future.
This week, I want to cover a topic that is a big stopper of BOTH dreaming and doing: FEAR. If you let them, these three thieves, Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, will rob you of your future. They put a big damper on each of the 10 Colors within your Time Prism… which causes you an enormous reduction in your personal POWER.
The Journey to Destiny…
Our prime Mission at TQ… every waking moment… every thought we think… every product or service we develop… is designed to make it easier for ordinary people to produce extraordinary results over time.
With hundreds of millions of data points, we have found that the vast majority of people find themselves locked in a constant battle between success and survival.
Are you prepared for the inevitable economic storm ahead?
Charles Darwin opined that "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change."
You know that the global economy teeters on a precipice — both candidates for US President agree that big changes are needed and coming…
What Is Your Time Quotient? Why Should You Care?
Last week we discussed the difference between hopes and wishes vs. crystal-clear EXPECTATIONS. As I pointed out all week, what you have the RIGHT to expect is based on four Colors within your personal Time Prism: Your sense of purpose and MISSION… your ATTITUDE… your ability to set Smart GOALS… and your ability to establish […]

"And Georgia painted flowers!
Bird of paradise and philodendron, foot-long heliconia and fragrant plumeria, torch ginger and silver cup, lotus and hibiscus. She painted a nana honua that she'd picked by the side of the road. It reminded Georgia of her favorite desert flower, the jimsonweed."

"And for one hour every afternoon, while the boys napped, Imogen focused on her flowers, including a common magnolia blossom she shot close up. . . .Then, under the soft glow of a red bulb, her five-year-old son beside her, Imogen watched as the images she'd captured--her boys, her blossoms--slowly emerged on paper. She knew she had something special.
Her magnolia, with its luminous petals and jeweled stamen, was magnificent."

"In Kauai, her last stop, Georgia visited with local artists. She stayed at the seaside home of a former Hawaiian queen near Koloa, a small mill town surrounded by fields of wild sugar cane. Soon she was used to the scent of burning sugar in the air.
Georgia was even starting to look like an island girl."

"That night, Frida painted something great: a colorful wedding portrait of herself and Diego. She painted Diego big, and she painted herself small, just as the world saw them.
But Frida knew she was more than this. And she put herself first. In the beak of a pink bird, she wrote a tiny note on violet ribbon: 'Here you see us, me, Frida Kahlo, with my adored husband Diego Rivera. I painted these portraits in the beautiful city of San Francisco, California, in April of 1931.'"
"On the night of the big show, the concert hall glowed. At midnight the houselights dimmed and a spotlight as full as the moon appeared.

Student or Learner
If you have, please help me.
I know Matilda's families are very uneducated and mean.
Was this 'enlightened household' used as sarcasm? (to show how
Matilda hankers after books and the house is not appropriate for such child
to grow up?)
"At the age of four, she could read fast and well and she naturally began to enjoy books. The only book in the whole of this enlightened
household was something called 'Easy Cooking' belonging to her mother, and when she had read this from cover to cover and had learnt all the
recipes by heart, she decided she wanted something more interesting."
Orelse could you please explain the second sentence?
not a teacher
I haven't read "Matilda", but from the information you have given us and a quick look at a synopsis online, I'm prepared to say that "enlightened" is used here sarcastically, as you suggest.

The glut of Christmas catalogues this year includes a pleasant surprise: the Richard Nixon Presidential Library & Birthplace Gift Catalogue. This modest publication -- it's actually more of a leaflet -- offers the standard autographed curios, videos and coffee-table books.
But there are also more creative offerings. The best by far is a T-shirt with the famous Oval Office photo of the strait-laced Mr. Nixon -- shaking hands with an obviously stoned-to-the-gills Elvis. The caption reads: "The President and the King." Another T-shirt features a beaming Mr. Nixon giving his trademark thumbs-up, with the words: "Nixon in '96 -- Tan, Rested & Ready!"
The Nixon library claims to be the only Presidential library that gets no government funding. It may also be the only one with a sense of humor.Continue reading the main story

iii) In other randomness, I think a s/he said (I think this is a snazzy way of changing up the title) post on 80's fashion could be funny. Have a nice day! --Kim
Look at this picture:
Yes, that guy in the middle with the big glasses (Christian Dior) and the white, um, Izod jacket is me. I'm smiling because my button-fly Levi's 501 blue jeans are tight-rolled at the ankles and I was wearing argyle socks.
I was so cool.
The guy just to the right of me is Keith. You can't see it very well in the pic, but he has, um, hair that, um, a porcupine would envy.
And the guy leaning into the pic from the front left (as you look at it) is my friend Jeff. He was my partner on the school's, um, debate team. When we went to debate tournaments he wore a yellow or red bow-tie and loaned me his sport jacket that was a Don Johnson knock-off from Mr. Johnson's Miami Vice days.
My favorite store in those days was Chess Mate. I bought a bright red shirt there once that had black ziggy lines on it. Folks fainted if they looked at it too long. Or else they saw 3-D pictures pop out of it. I buttoned it up all the way to the top and had two small gold crosses pinned to the right and left collars.
And did I mention my Christian Dior glasses had tiger stripes down the sides? And I wore Ocean Pacific t-shirts and shorts? And I had a Newport Blue t-shirt that wasn't blue and wasn't from Newport.
I miss those days.
My brain is hurting right now having to think of something to say about 80's fashion. I'm not sure how valid my comments are considering that I lived outside the United States until 1988. But I'll take a stab at it.
One of the things that I remember from the 80's were "prairie skirts", which were full skirts often worn over a "petticoat" that peeked out from underneath. One of our supporters (who had expensive taste and the money to go with it!) brought me a plum colored corduroy skirt with a plaid top that matched. It had puffed long sleeves, and a ruffled yoke that buttoned to one side, and a white eyelet petticoat for underneath. I was stylin'!
Most of the time, though, I don't think what I wore was typically in fashion. Fashion in Ecuador didn't necessarily keep up with what was going on in the US.
Fads that came and went at my school included "jelly" shoes and bracelets (which you wore as many at a time as you had colors to go with your outfit) wearing your polo shirt collars turned up, short boots with socks on the outside of your jeans, Ocean Pacific T-shirts, etc. etc. etc.
I was very tempted to post photos from high school days so you could get a good laugh. But considering many of my good friends are from high school, I thought I would refrain. That's all I got! But oh joy, I found a photo with the afore-mentioned shirt. It's a black and white though, bummer!

What is your Fox 2.0 Valving on stock springs?
I have searched and searched but most end up discussing Sulastic, aftermarket leafs, tire psi, etc. wanting to stick strictly to valving please.
I have an F-350 CCLB Dually(yes) air bags in the rear, stock springs and Fox 2.0 performance with reservoir on all corners. That I use to tow a 16k fifth wheel with. Valve code on the dust cap is T/90, which from what Ive gathered is something like a (flutter compression)30/90(rebound). The issue I have is the truck will dip in slight hole and the compression is not fast enough on the coming out so it bounces out. Yes Im aware its a truck but I believe I can make it better with a few changes. So Im gonna re-valve, which any body that has tried will say its tough to get it right on the first try.
So of course call Fox and see what they say....... the piston I have is a single bleed .070 and code was last updated in 2009. I should add .070 bleed to all pistons and change the compression side to #50 in the rear(to work in conjunction with the bags and change compression to #70 in the front......i could be wrong(hence why Im here but)I would think increasing the stack thickness from the .008 to .012 would have the opposite effect of what Im trying to achieve. Making compression stiffer. Hoping somebody has a similar setup(stock springs/aftermarket bags and 2in shocks) that wouldnt mind taking a peak at their dust cap(where the shaft goes in and giving me some idea of what I should be going for.

I've been told more than once you want to allow compression and control the rebound. Make the spring work. I know it's all about personal preferences. Not to mention what PSI are your tires.
Thanks for the reply, Ive tried dropping tire psi to 30, with the same results.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No one? Well I guess Ill do some experimenting. I talked to Fox again today and there actually was a misunderstanding of what I was after. Said Adding 2nd bleed port would allow a lot of low speed, we want to use compression to control it. So use a #50 stack(0.010) and keep the same flutter pivoting on a 0.008. I have riden in the truck and know how it feels and what I believe it should feel like, cant help but think increasing to a #50 stack would yield a similar performance to what Ive got now...Being that it takes all of 15 mins to rebuild a shock I figured why not just toy around, see what I can come up with.
Got a few things to do tomorrow so want to leave this here in the hopes someone that knows will tell me hey youre screwing up or yea looks legit
Heres what Ive got so far.
Move my thinnest 1.42x.006 to front to allow more flex and flow
Move my 1.35x.008 to the second position for support
Leave the .8x.010 for pivot
Move my 1.6 to the 4th position to give the flow leverage in the high speed as well as support for the front line so to speak.

For 15 mins of work even if it's not right sounds like an easy fix. Go at it Bro. You are blazing the trail.
