Hello everyone,
Thank you for all of your prayers for the News Channel 3 piece and the Discovery Health's "Mystery Diagnosis". It has been so amazing to watch God work through each of these venues and to see what only He could do!
The News Channel 3 piece was only slotted to be a 2 to 3 minute segment, primarily promoting the "Mystery Diagnosis" show. However, it turned out to be a 6 minute segment and so much more than we could have ever hoped for! Tara Hitchcock did the interview and she was wonderful! She allowed me a lot of time to share information as well as our story of prayer! Noah, Alexis and I had such a peace about us, what an answer to prayer! Alexis and Noah were a bit nervous at first as we had to sit on the set very quietly for about 10 minutes while they did a few other pieces, but once they were involved in the interview they lit up! God was present and working in every detail….thank you SO much for all of your prayers!
The "Mystery Diagnosis" piece was done really well. They did edit out our faith, but included Joe saying at the end that it was a miracle. I know that God has a purpose for every opportunity He has given us to share His story and He is working through every detail. Proverbs 3:5& 6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." We trust God completely and know that He will continue to direct our paths, we just need to keep our eyes and our hearts focused on Him every step of the way.

Alexandria police say they are looking to fill in the gaps of the two-day timeline leading up to the disappearance of 15-year-old Jasmine Block early on the morning of Aug. 9.
Specifically, police are trying to locate or identify a small group of people Block was with about 1 p.m. Aug. 7 near the Burger King and Super America at 3rd Avenue and Nokomis Street in Alexandria.
Friends of Block's interviewed by police said they saw her with two teenagers and a man in his 30s that was balding or had closely-shaven hair, according to a news release from Police Chief Richard Wyffels. The four were reported to be riding bikes, and police believe that the people Block was with were from out of town.
Block was reported missing Aug. 9. She was last seen at 10:30 the previous night at her home. Police describe her as a white female with a tan complexion, about 5 feet 1 inch tall, weighing 110 pounds and with curly brown hair. She was last seen wearing black and red pajama pants.

FREDERICK, Maryland—Hood College will present the first humanities colloquium of the spring semester Jan. 18 when Harvard University lecturer Alex W. Corey, Ph.D., discusses the music of American R&B artist Frank Ocean at 7 p.m. in the Marx Center.
In this talk, Corey will explore how Frank Ocean's "Blond/e" and "Endless" albums convey a historical consciousness in strikingly personal terms. These albums emerged in August 2016, a summer marked by attempts to ban trans folks from public bathrooms, police brutality, and the Pulse nightclub massacre. Ocean's albums meditate on the pleasures and pains of life. Deeply personal stories take shape as the albums blend straightforward narrative with opaque lyricism and juxtapose energetic beats against atmospheric textures. Corey considers how these stories engage with their historical circumstances and why these historical implications matter today.
Corey is a lecturer on history and literature, teaching about American literature, musical culture and social movements. Corey is currently working on a book, "Beyond the Blues: Music, Gender, and Black Modernisms," which explores how the gendering of sound led into and emerged out of the racial dynamics of 20th-century musical culture.
Funded in part by a National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant, this event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Aaron Angello at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit humanities.hood.edu.

Lionheart Creations F100. WHAT IF??/
FSX/P3D. I am not sure how serious this project is. I know Bill Ortis does a lot of contract work so it's unclear if this is just a preview of a model in development for another developer or non flight simulation entitiy or if he is really moving up into regional jets and commercial aircraft. We really need a proper Fokker F70/100. Many of us are still left holding the bag from the vairant Digital Aviation developed eon's ago. I will be watching with much interest to see what this project if true, pans out to be. And quite naturally, if it is the next big thing from Lionheart to the FS community, I can hear the comments rolling in already... systems... systems... systems... Again, watching with interest.

I tend to get bored with my haircuts and then all of a sudden decide that I want longer hair again. My hair did not develop very fast over the winter season. Remember those dolls that we had when we had been little that we could give haircuts to and then just simply pull the hair long once more? There was a bunch of extra hair encased in the doll's head to make this feasible. Unfortunately, and as much as I want it were true, we are not produced that way.
Fashion publications, the catwalk as well as the crimson carpet showcase the most popular pattern for the locks of ladies these days – hair extensions clips. This gorgeous alternative can enable any lady to have long, flowing hair in just a couple of hours and at a cost of some bucks. They understand it as an investment so they can usually have the option to either wear their brief or step out searching like a goddess with their flowing tresses.
Start by collecting your hair into a ponytail. Utilizing a rat tail comb, divide a segment of hair at the back again of your head about an inch from the foundation of your neck. This base most section of hair will be your initial layer, so clip the rest of your hair out the way.
The natural searching hair extensions arrive in many colors, size and textures. These extensions are merely clipped in close to the scalp. They come in both artificial and human hair extension types. Each types can be reduce, styled or colored in accordance to the person necessity. You may boldly use the thermal resources for your hair. The extensions completely augment your stunning hair and can give you lengthy natural straight hair, lengthy free curls, or a wavy look in an instant.
My extensions had been dark blonde which is the closest match to my hair. It was a small as well light compared to my hair, sadly, they were a nightmare to color. I took the hair to a hair expert in Paris, who dyed them for me, and to my surprise the hair would not maintain any color as it turned grayish, and developed strands of highlights.
The greater than talked about choices for the Indian Remy Human Hair have led to the rise in their demand. They'll be the free curl, slight body wave and also the checklist keeps on increasing. In different words, it might be stated that there are large choice of selections when it entails the choice.

The overall goal of this project is to provide a summary description, assessment, and understanding of ecological conditions within nearshore rocky reef and kelp forest habitats both inside and outside of MPAs in the region. Researchers will document size, abundance, and distribution of fishes, invertebrates, and algae, as well as characterize substrate and reef rugosity (i.e., surface roughness). This project also aims to provide data on ecologically and economically important invertebrates found in nearshore rocky reef habitats of the North Coast, including red abalone and red sea urchins. These data will provide a benchmark against which future MPA performance can be measured. To document initial ecological changes, trends of species densities and community composition will be mapped over time, incorporating both new data collected as part of this project and also past data collected by scientists at Humboldt State University. This project is a collaboration among academic scientists and commercial urchin divers.
Researchers described their findings from this project in a technical report, released in July 2017. Click below to read the report.
FINAL REPORT: Baseline Characterization of Nearshore Rocky Reefs and Kelp Forests
Data from this project are coming soon! You will be able access the data through the OceanSpaces map tool and data archive to learn more about each data package.

So I wrote this not yet being a contributor on the webpage, and now that I am I felt like I should reblog. Unfortunately this is a nuts and bolts breakdown of the race and doesn't highlight the teamwork and camaraderie that comes with the Corn Fed name
Welcome Home
Hello everyone, I felt it was time to tell you a little bit about myself and my story of how I came to be a Corn Fed Spartan and a Spartan race finisher. When my family and I lived in Iowa, my boyfriend came to me with suggestion of going to a Spartan race, of course I had never even heard of it before. He and our daughter signed up and as time passed and we got closer to race day the excitement in the family was reaching high levels. When we arrived in Indiana I was asked to drive by the location of the race site, little did I know that this preview drive by would become a ritual for us. The following day Rick began to introduce us to some of the members of Corn Fed. During this race everyone began the race as a group, my daughter & I ran after the group taking as many pictures of everyone as possible, My daughter ran her very first JR Spartan race and received a beautiful medal. Rick finished just in time to watch her run the second lap and finish the race. Watching my family finish these races and I just felt such a pride, one that I had never felt before.
Once we got home and the excitement began to fade I later joined the facebook page of Corn Fed. This way I was be able to upload the many pictures I took at the event. I honestly can say that I did not understand the passion everyone had and the dedication they had to one another. In addition, I thought that the mobile pictures of logs and huge tires was insane. Who keeps a huge log in the car to run around with? This event and those mobile uploads were my initial introduction to both Spartan Race & Corn Fed Spartan – and I absolutely did not get it. As months and events have passed I found myself feeling that I made a mistake and misjudged what I once thought was insanity. I have been to Spartan races in Indiana, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois and Massachusetts… and that is just the beginning. With time, the names on Facebook have turned into faces, which turned into long conversations.I have found myself coming more to the family I have meet through Corn Fed than my life long friends. Our friendships have grown and I feel very lucky that my crazy boyfriend dragged me into this family. Now, I couldn't imagine my life without them.
I decided along with my boyfriend that we would conquer my first race and his 7th race. Joining us were 4 of our very own Corn Fed Spartans, little did I know they would play such a huge role on this day. On November 17th, 2012 six of us were standing side by side at the starting line at a 100 year old iconic stadium: Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts. The race started off with 10 burpees followed by a Corn Fed special of 50 jumping jacks. Seconds into the race I realized I was already tired and because of that I did not want to stop. We continued to duck and dodge and jump throughout the stadium. Some of the obstacles I felt were easy , jumping over walls was one of the funnest parts of the race. I am sure I wasn't graceful but it was one of the few obstacles I was able to do confidently. Some of the other parts of the race were far more difficult then I thought they would be. I was carrying a huge jug of water and very slowly and I made it down the stairs, I placed the water jug down for a moment to take a break. The next thing I knew my teammates were coming back for me cheering me on and a goddess came and grabbed the water jug and walked with me. At that moment, for the very first time I realized what it truly meant to be Corn Fed.
We continued on, as a group and after a stadium of stairs and many obstacles we made it to the sand bag carry. A fellow Spartan helped me put the sand bag on my shoulders and I began the climb up the never ending stairs as I reached the top I felt that I could not go on, I dropped the sand bag and after Rick picked up my sand bag and began walking towards to the bottom I continued to walk, empty handed. Somewhere in the middle my goddess once again appeared, I could barely lift a sand bag onto her shoulders. Somehow we managed and she helped me complete yet another obstacle. We once again continued on, as a group and approached the finish line. My beautiful JR Spartans were waving posters at the finish line reading Corn Fed Cuties! One by one we crossed the finish line & what amazing feeling. The race was pure inspiration, I was supported and cheered on the entire time. Filled with hugs and high fives and my three Jr Spartans cheering us on in the distance with their beautiful posters. This race was pure and honest and it told me everything that I needed to know. First of all, if I want to continue doing spartan races I am going to need to work and work hard. Secondly, with my team – everything is possible.
We gathered to take pictures, first just the ladies, then the six of us. The very next thing I knew my boyfriend was down and one knee holding with a beautiful engagement ring. I was numb and shaking uncontrollably, I saw nothing beyond us both, heard nothing but his voice saying will you marry me? I could not get a sound out yet some how managed to say yes. Never in my life did I ever think I would be proposed to behind home plate in Fenway Park. Never once did I think I would do these insane challenges for fun and it would consume my life. Never did I think I would enjoy the mud, bruises and extreme challenges and crave another after another. This has become a part of our life – we have become Corn Fed and everything it represents and I could never ask for a better, inspirational, insane, honest, dedicated family. Thank you for welcoming us with open arms….
We are home!!!
Spartan Race Fenway Park Timed Trial by: Candie Bobick
Soooo… it's been awhile since I've written. What better way to bring me back than one of the most amazing days I've had the joy of living so far this life. After a long, long drive… 16ish hours and very little sleep… 4ish hours, so many memories were made.
A group of Cornfed Spartans decided it would be an awesome idea to drive to Boston and run the 1st ever Spartan Race Timed Trial INSIDE Fenway Park. Cool right? You have no idea! At about 6:30am we were able to hear music from the park, which was right across the street from our hotel. As we crowded in the window we could see Spartans running along the walkways and stopping just long enough to pick up huge water jugs to then carry down and back up stairs. I was so excited I could barely contain myself! We met up with the rest of our team and made our way over to Fenway Park. Registration was awesome, gear was killer, the air was alive with excitement. First of all to be able to run a Spartan Race inside a 100 year old Stadium was Epic enough, but to be able to it with some of the greatest people I have ever known brought it to an entirely new level.
Pictures, laughter, anxiety… is my bib on straight? I hate when my bibs not straight! Everyone ready? Wait! I have to pee! In line before we know it and ready to go! No one had any idea what to expect, we were just ready to kill it! At the start… first obstacle? 10 burpees! I love burpees! We got this! I almost lost my teeth at one point during the over / under stretchy cord obstacles that seemed to go on forever! Leave it to me to get my ankle twisted up in 2 of them! We may or may not have mooned each other at one point too. Yup, full moon! There was a water jug carry and of course in Cornfed Style those that finished early went to get their teammate's jugs to help. We had 6, 7, and 8 foot walls. We ALL made it over. There was running up and down stairs, in between rows, ball slams, hand release pushups, 500 meter row, more burpees, rope climb, herculean hoist, ladders, cargo nets, spear throw, traverse wall, ball throw, 20 pound rope jump rope- yea, that sucked, 60 pound sandbag carry up and down the aisles…which of course no sandbag was left behind, lift and carry heavy shit, more burpees, box jumps… I live for this stuff!!! We had a pretty major injury on a 6 foot wall, but the determination was so fierce to finish and get that Trifecta that there was no stopping! The finish is right around the corner, but first… The Gladiator Pit! I was talking shit and then charged them! Of course, they ignored me and went after my friends. I was hoping they were going to take me out and let my teammates go… wrong!
As we hugged and smiled and posed for pictures we had no idea what was still waiting at the end. We lost a teammate and we were all yelling at him to "Get over here for pictures!" He finally came over and before anyone even realized what happened, he was on one knee, holding up the most beautiful ring to the most beautiful woman, while our Junior Cornfed Spartans stood behind us with the signs that read, "Maribel, Will You Marry Me?" TEARS! I looked up and caught my teammate mirroring my happy tears and it was like time stopped! Of course, she said yes as the announcer yelled out, " We have a Cornfed proposal!" Words truly cannot capture how perfect everything was at this exact moment!!!!
I have had many pretty cool life experiences, I have made many friends, I have traveled all over the place, I have experienced good and bad… Nothing compares to the love I have for my Cornfed Spartan Family and the experiences we have shared and the memories we have made. The best part? This is just the beginning! Missy, Laura, Sarah, Maribel and Rick… thank you so much for making this race the best one so far! I only hope I have encouraged and motivated you even half as much that you all have me! The rest of my Cornfed Family…. please know, not a day goes by that I don't realize how lucky I am and how truly grateful I am to have each and every one of you in my life! Thank you for welcoming me into your family and running with me, pulling me, pushing me, guiding me and loving me! I can't wait to see what 2013 holds for us!

What was your first OCR?
Mudstash 2011
What is your next OCR?
Indiana Spartan Sprint 2013
Kathy, please tell us more about yourself.
I have spent most of my life overweight and out of shape. I have dealt with ridicule and name calling, low self-esteem and depression. I battled fear regularly. Fear of failure, fear of ridicule, fear of injury and anything else that would offer me an excuse to avoid activity and doing new things.
Watching my mom slowly die over the last 10+ years of her life, caused me to open my eyes to my own health. On November 19, 2010, I quit smoking. That was step 1 but I had also developed Hypothyroidism, Type II diabetes, high cholesterol and was headed down a very dangerous road. With encouragement and support from my husband, I joined Anytime Fitness and signed on with a trainer. Thus my journey to health began.
I must admit that in the beginning my training was only half-hearted. I wanted to succeed but I was still dealing with fears. Many times tears would roll and I worried about people watching me. I wanted to quit more times than I can count but thankfully letting me quit was not an option for my trainer or my husband.
I walked my first 5k in September 2011. The very next month, my husband decided to run his first OCR, the Mudstash at Perfect North Slopes. Neither of us had ever heard of them before. It sounded like it would be very physically demanding. I assumed it was a "military type" thing so I decided to not try. I was no where near in shape enough to do anything like that. I wasn't even running 5ks yet, only walking. However, secretly I longed to be able to do it. This longing left me a bit grouchy that morning but I went as the picture taker and support for my husband. He ran first wave and as he approached the finish line, something inside me said that I needed to be on that course with him.
He kicked back on a grassy hill while I went to get his shower gear. I dropped the bag at his feet, pointed my finger at him and said, "You will never do that alone again! I was afraid but I am not gonna let fear stop me anymore." OOOPS! Boy did I open a can of worms! His reply, "They are running races all day. I will even run it a second time to run it with you." Then after running out of excuses, I ran my first OCR that afternoon. Actually, I walked the majority of it but I finished and I had a blast doing it! I was hooked!
Since then I have completed the Georgia Spartan Sprint (with a sprained ankle), the Indiana Founders Spartan Sprint, the Colorado Military Sprint, Warrior Dash, 2 additional Mudstashes and several 5ks. I am currently on an OCR break while hubby is deployed and I am pursuing surgery. I am registered and hope to be cleared by doctor to run the Indiana Spartan Sprint 2013 with Corn Fed AND my Maneating Mamajamas!
I began by telling you how I have spent most of my life being overweight and out of shape. I will end by telling you how that picture is changing. My highest weight was 330 lbs and I am now down to 261 lbs. I am stronger and have more endurance now than I have ever had. I have changed what I eat, how much I eat, when I eat, my workouts and much about my life style. If you want to know more about my journey to health you can check out my blog at muddyspartanprincess.com.
I am very proud of the woman I have become by learning to "Never Let Fear Stop Me." I am the Muddy Spartan Princess!
Next time you see Kathy on the obstacle course be sure to say hi! We would like to thank Kathy for her time and for sharing a little piece of her story with the rest of us. Keep up the amazing work, Kathy! We'll see you in Laurel at the next Indiana Spartan Sprint!
Corn Fed Spartans Meet Legend of the Death Race 2012 Part II
I was the first to enter the chapel, half expecting something to jump out and scare us. Fortunately, that did not happen. What was there in its place was John Shue taking a cat nap with our rucks. Hopefully he was not able to sleep comfortably!! He was there to ask six questions, each having to do with a date that was on the sign at the bottom of the hill. At the time, we did not know the consequences for getting one wrong. I got 5 of the 6 wrong…..350 burpees were my penalty. As each one of us entered and exited the chapel, the most anyone got right were 2 by Stefanie. This would have been a great time to give up our tokens, which were earned weeks before by doing challenges. T.J. and Rodrigo did and I might have IF I would not have lost them! 350 burpees later, which may have been an hour or so, I sat down to eat my first Meal Ready to Eat (MRE). I believe all the Burpees caused my stomach to be upset which really made the MRE taste nasty!
T.J. got his burpees done pretty quickly and was off to a huge lead over the rest of us, maybe 30-45 minutes. The rest of us got done and headed down a "bush-whacking" path I can only assume was thought up from Spartan Race's Ultra Beast. With the leaves littered all over the "path", it became apparent this was not to be messed with as each step we took always led to us slipping and rocks getting loose under our weight. Finally, a fence to grab a hold of……SHIT, barb wire fence! Not only that, but if you did not have a tetanus shot in the past 10 years, now was a great time to do it! I get a little foggy on where we came out but when we did, we started following trails, at one time passing by T.J., most likely on the next task that we were coming upon. It seemed like the rolling hills got a little higher with a couple steep ones as we came up on the cabin. We had lost Stefanie and Ryan again but were sure they were right behind us.
Richard was there waiting for us with the next task. This time, we were to go back out following a different path up and around till we come back out on the same path we came in on and follow the markers. Our goal was to bring back 15 pounds of orange spray painted rocks and have them weighed. If we did not have the proper weight, we would have to back and do it again. The loop was at least a few miles. With that knowledge in hand, Rodrigo and I headed out to gain some ground on T.J. We were making great time along the trail when all of a sudden it veered off into the woods. They must have thought we loved making our own trails!! As we hit the first raven, we both looked up to see a cluster of fallen trees in OUR raven! So, after a bunch of overs and unders, with all our gear minus the axe, we are at the top of the raven looking around for the markers. This probably frustrated the two of us the most because had we looked around at all, we would have seen the markers shoot off to the left halfway up. Back down, to the right and continue on to the second raven. This time, our eyes were only looking for those damn evasive markers! After doing a few figure eights around some evergreen trees, we arrived at the stones….finally! Since we had our 20 pound sand pill, we used that to judge how many pounds of rocks we needed.
Heading back down, we picked up the pace a little bit so we could try and make up ground on T.J. once again. Arriving back to the cabin, we each took our turns weighing our rocks. Both of us not only got the 15 pounds, but more than doubled what we needed. This is where we learned that Stefanie and Ryan had dropped, with Stef having an IT band issue. I feel I know Stefanie pretty well and Ryan not so much, but they showed what they were made of. Out of 12 that signed up, they were 2 of the 5 that showed up.
Hitting the 15+ pounds of rocks earned us our axe back, which we started using right away. Mine was new until Michael Sandercock decided to pop its wood cherry! Thanks Michael!! We were told to chop 4 logs total, 3 of them however many pieces we wanted, but the 4th into 6 pieces. Those 6 pieces we needed to carry back to the farm along with all of our gear, including axe this time. I shot through the wood chopping pretty quickly and headed out while Rodrigo was still chopping. I walked with Stefanie and Ryan for a little while but knew that I needed to pick up the pace in order to make up for lost time and keep what little lead over Rodrigo that I had.
Making it back to the farm was a welcome relief, at least from walking! As I walked up, I saw T.J. chopping a log roughly 4 foot in length in half. We didn't know this at the time, but this was Stage 2 which consisted of chopping 3 of those logs in half and splitting them to get at least 12 logs per log. This stage is where I really caught up to T.J. I've done some wood splitting in my day all starting when I was in middle school and helped my uncle split wood for his shop. Obviously, the lead didn't really matter much except for how much rest time we were able to get out of it but I did complete the task only 5-10 minutes behind him. Rodrigo had a tough go, partly because the first log he picked was a nasty one! Rodrigo, I bet you can chop some firewood now! Second MRE eaten and refilled water, ready for anything!
Stage 3 consisted of a team effort, two slosh pipes duct taped together and the three of us had to touch it the entire time. Off we headed, unsure of where or how far we had to go. It was rough going for a while as we were getting used to each other and the height difference made it harder than it needed to be. All of a sudden, we were off the road and going through a field. Not too bad, oh shit, spoke to soon. Up a long hill which didn't seem to end even though that may have been the slosh pipe talking. We make one last turn to a nice fire with Chad waiting for us. As we get there, put down the pipe, and take our packs off, turn around to Tony giving us a 103 question test…..really!?! And the questions, most of them must have come from a priest or Harvard professor, or maybe it was the brain just malfunctioning… Between nodding off and rubbing my eyes, the test could have accidentally flown into the fire and I would have not minded one bit. With the test done and the fire out, packs on and slosh pipe back in hand, this time with a rope contraption Rodrigo came up with that took a lot of pressure off of the rest of us and stabilized it quite a bit. We made great time back knowing how far we had to go and it was a very uplifting and rewarding stage for us as a team!
Stage 4 was by far my strongest just because of what was involved. At the beginning of the Camp, we were told to line up 9 rocks by size, then 3 sets of 2 tires by size, and 2 75 lb. railroad ties with handles in them not knowing what they would be used for. This, we found out, was the reason. For time, we had to lift the first 4 rocks above our head, the next 3 to our chest, and the last one just a squat. From there, 10 tire flips out and back for the first 2 tires, 5 tire flips out and back for the next 4 tires. Finally, with one railroad tie in each hand, walk down, around a chem light roughly 25 yards out and back to finish our times. T.J. was up first, and I noticed he started quick and was burning out halfway through but still finished with a time of 4:45 (somewhere around there). I was up second and kept a pretty good pace making sure at the tire flips to control how much it wanted to wobble after each flip, which is the reason I think I got 4:15. Rodrigo was flying pretty quickly through until the tire flips when he slowed because of the way the tire flips wobbled so much and ended with a time of 5:21.
In my training, I have included a lot of hill running, which was evident how I was better able to catch people and leave people behind for at least a short while all throughout this camp. So, when stage 5 was revealed to us that it was a 2 mile run, I felt very confident about my abilities. Out to the road we went, waiting for Tony to give us the word, and we were off. T.J. took off and Rodrigo and I pretty much kept up with each other pacing T.J. by about 25 yards or so. My thinking the whole time was at the turnaround, I would turn it up and take care of business. With us getting closer, I see T.J. got there and turned around. Here is the turn, if there was a time, now was the time to do what I need to do…..

While the money trail to the Nicaraguan Contras certainly is fascinating, it has distracted attention from what should be the real focus of congressional investigations:
How could the U.S. government justify selling arms to Iran while at the same time saying that`s illegal?
A corollary question emerges: How could the Reagan administration expect to keep such a step secret? And, further: How can the administration expect to be believed on other important matters, given its duplicity on this one?
Even further: Why did the Reagan administration break its pledge, or at least seem to, of not dealing with terrorists or those who support them?
As special committees in both houses of Congress prepare for hearings early next year, it`s vital to get the focus right. Iran should be the principal focus. Related to that will be Israel, the Contras and various public and private people in the United States.
But the secondary issues shouldn`t override or obscure the main point about selling arms to Iran.
The most accurate name, therefore, for this scandal is ``Payatollah,`` which was suggested by a caller to a Maryland radio station. For it is unmistakably clear that the United States government has sold millions of dollars worth of military arms to the government headed by the Ayatollah Khomeini.
Although Khomeini`s world impact has diminished, and he has been replaced as Dangerous Crazy No. 1 by Moammar Gadhafi of Libya, surely the memory of Americans can`t be so short as to have forgotten the ayatollah`s murderous behavior. This nation`s government is rewarding Khomeini`s bloodshed by selling arms to him so he can continue to wage war against Iraq.
The congressional investigations into Payatollah could easily be diverted into endless questions about when and how the arms money reached the Contras` hands. Uncovering that trail, and finding out who organized it and participated in it, surely is worthwhile. Yet the illegality of helping the Contras was a sometime thing; sometimes Congress prohibited such aid and sometimes payments and help of various kinds were approved.

"Hard work" may consider one of the finest qualities we will find in a person. It is what leads success to our lives, our communities and our nation. Good, hard workers are always concerned about the quantity and quality of their work. They become valuable to any organization or company, because they are productive and finish what they begin. The mindset of a hard worker concentrates on the GOAL; they look for ways to get it done faster and better. Hard workers consider their job as an opportunity to learn more and increase their abilities not just for a salary.
Those who work only for money will never be completely satisfied, since a check will never be enough.
Hard work is a personal quality and it will flow through us to impact our communities and our nation. It is in direct relationship to efficiency, quality and intelligence.
In order to change yourself, take this principle and make it a habit to add value and develop your character. If you want a good future, be a hard worker.

Show Mercy Like Jesus Did
Mercy Requires Mercy
As a Christian woman, there isn't much wiggle room when it comes to giving mercy. Yeah, I've tried to find those loopholes in real life and it's not working for me. Apparently, God meant what He said, when the Holy Spirit inspired Luke to write in 6:36 – Be merciful just as your Father is merciful.
Since we are having an honest conversation here…I'll go first…sometimes I don't always feel like dishing out mercy. Nope. I'd rather dish up a hot plate of "who wronged me" with a side of "my rights"…how about you? Thought so. It's in these times, that we need to take a breath, and remember the mercy God has showed us. We read in scripture time and time again, how Jesus met with sinners (like you and me) and extended a scandalous mercy, compassion and grace upon them. It's scandalous because it wasn't merited. Nope, not even a little. None of it. And yet there Jesus was passing out mercy and compassion.
To be honest, God has met me in some pretty dark spaces and extended his hand of mercy with such beautiful covering. I deserved full disclosure of my sin and He dealt with me privately and covered it. That's mercy. That's how I need to be dealing with others in my life.
When I set my gaze on the Mercy Giver instead of my rights, it's easy to heap buckets, and buckets of mercy on those who have sinned against me, offended me or just plain cut me off in traffic. One tip that I'll leave you with that has made a HUGE difference in this area for me. I'm determined to always think the best about people. I have found when I do that…it helps keep the small stuff, the small stuff. Try it, it may help you too!

'Once Upon a Time' season 4, episode 2 review: Anna, Charming's past helps Anna's future
The story of "Frozen" continued on "Once Upon a Time" Sunday night, but not without us asking this pertinent question: Is there almost too much of the Disney franchise on the show?
After seeing the monster ratings for the season 4 premiere, we understand the appeal. These characters are hugely popular, and that is probably why Maleficent is going to be one of the Big Bads of the second half of the season. Still, you cannot help but wonder if some of the other recurring roles are being marginalized. Where is Red, Archie, Dr. Whale, Granny, Tinker Bell, Mulan, Aurora, or someone else in Storybrooke? Heck, where was Regina tonight save for the last three minutes? Given her role, it felt weird to have her off somewhere moping for the entire hour while Mary Margaret took on the de facto Mayor duties.
Charming played a huge role tonight, as his past connection to Anna, who he knew as Joan, was integral in saving Emma from a spell that caused her to be trapped in ice. She taught him how to fight the ruthless Bo Peep and her army of men. We have to say that it is entirely unbelievable that Charming was able to be a complete champ with a sword one day after Anna started to teach her about it. Still, he managed to do it anyway.
Elsa, meanwhile, was scared, and did not know if she could help Emma, at least until a #CharmAttack (sorry, we had to) came and saved the day.
As a result of all this, we did have some pretty nice moments with Hook and Emma, and we continued to be thrown off by how much Henry has grown the past few years. Charming vowed to further assist Elsa in her search for her sister.
The big reveal in the past was that Anna was eventually guiding to Rumpelstiltskin by Charming's mother; in the present, David used Bo Peep's staff, and at least figured out that she was still alive. Also, Elizabeth Mitchell! She is already in Storybrooke, and has her own powers of ice and snow.
In the end, this episode was somewhat fun, but also fluffy and forgettable. For the first 55 minutes or so, we really didn't make that much progress, and even in the past, we weren't chomping at the bit to know who taught David his sword-fighting skills. However, the ending was pretty awesome. Grade: B-.

Branding meets entertainment.
A Cognac Brand Just Made a John Malkovich Film That No One Will See for 100 Years.
The film is called 100 Years, was bank rolled by French cognac maker Louis XIII (pronounced "Louie Trez"), whose marketers conceived this unusual, ingenious idea.
Louis XIII, officially known as Louis XIII de Remy Martin, is a brand that prides itself on craftsmanship. Its cognac is made from wine grapes grown in the Grande Champagne territory of Cognac, France. It is blended from 1,200 eaux-de-vie (brandy) that takes 100 years to craft. Fred & Farid in New York produced the film under head of production Karim Naceur, in conjunction with Moonwalk Films and executive producer Gaspard Chevance.
Ludovic du Plessis, the brand's global executive director, noted at a press conference with Rodriguez and Malkovich on Wednesday that it takes a century for each bottle of Louis XIII to age. So, why not do the same with a film?
"Our cellar master is crafting Louis XIII today that will be ready in 2115," he noted. "He will never see his baby. He is working on something for people who haven't been born yet.
This is impressive, and this is our source of inspiration. This was the creative source of inspiration for the movie 100 Years."
Similarly, the cast and crew of 100 Years will never see the final cut of the film, not even Rodriguez, who sent his rough edit out for visual effects to be added and never saw the final cut before it went in the vault.A few stills from three futuristic teasers for the film were leaked on entertainment websites earlier this month, but the news that the actual film was to be held for release for another century was only revealed Wednesday. Though specifics about 100 Years were not disclosed, the filmmakers describe it as set in the current world.
Malkovich plays the hero, Chinese actress Shuya Chang (Revenge of the Green Dragons, the upcoming Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend) plays the heroine, and Chilean actor Marko Zaror, who appeared in Rodriguez's Machete Kills, plays the villain. Though few details about the plot are known, du Plessis described it as Malkovich's vision of the next 100 years. "It's the delicate relationship between the past, the present and the future," he said. "It's really, for us, a tribute to the mastery of time."
He would not disclose the genre of the film or its budget, although when pressed, he said it was in "the seven figures."
"It's not a drama; it's not a comedy," he added. "It's in between these two. Some moments are more drama, and some are more comedy. We do not put it in a certain category." Du Plessis said choosing Malkovich to write and star in the film was an easy decision. "He is the best actor of his generation" and "a creative genius," du Plessis said. He joked that the two-time Oscar nominee (Places in the Heart, In the Line of Fire) speaks better French than he (a native of France) does. "I've watched him work, and I've seen the creativity in his eyes," he said. The completed film was to be placed in a safe specially designed by Fichet-Bauche, a two-centuries-old French security company, at the Sheats Goldstein Mansion in Hollywood. The safe, fitted with bulletproof glass and a state-of-the-art timer that records the time and date and will mark the countdown, is slated to travel around the world under high security for an international tour beginning in Hong Kong on Dec. 11, before it reaches its final destination at the House of Louis XIII in Cognac, where it will remain until it will automatically open in the 22nd century. Louis XIII is giving 1,000 silver-plated movie tickets to certain "influencers" around the world so their descendants can one day view the film.
Asked whether there is product placement of Louis XIII in the film, Rodriguez responded, "Yes, there is a bottle there. But it's about John's vision of the future."Quipped Malkovich, nattily dressed in one of his own designer suits, "I thought it was a little fantastic idea; I wish it would have happened to some of my other films." He went on to say, "I liked the idea. … When they showed me the plans Robert had, it seemed exciting to imagine."
Photographed by renowned director of photography Claudio Miranda, whose credits include Tomorrowland and Life of Pi, the film is one of Rodriguez's proud achievements. He is best known for action films including From Dusk Till Dawn and Sin City, as well as the family friendly Spy Kids movies. He said working with Malkovich and the Louis XIII team has been a creative and exciting experience. "I've worked with John before, and the idea to work with him again was great," he added.
Of his association with Louis XIII, he complimented the brand's ambition, although he admits he didn't initially realize the film would be locked away for 100 years when he signed on.
"It speaks to the product," he said. "It's about craftsmanship and about doing something sight unseen for future generations. The more I thought about this project, the more I couldn't say no. I want to make something that's going to open in 100 years."
Rodriguez says he is looking forward to his great-grandchildren seeing the film one day, along with his clone.
As for his thoughts about the future, Malkovich was philosophical.
"I don't think about it so much," he said. "I try to fill the time I have left with things that interest me. As I'm not an inventor or scientist, I don't know how much I can contribute to the future."
For those who can't wait a century to see 100 Years, you can still get a sneak peek—an exclusive trailer and three teasers can be viewed at on YouTube. Viewers are invited to join the conversation on social media with #notcomingsoon and follow Louis XIII on

Good afternoon,
I need to know the code for a Grundig radio aura of a Seat Leon, the reference radio SEZ2Z6B1790731
Posted on Jan 11, 2011
If you leave the stereo on for 1 hour, the "safe" lock will disappear & you can try & enter the code twice before it locks you out again.
You can turn the radio on with no key in the ignition, leave it on & lock the car with no problems - just remember to go back to it later, or you'll end up with a flat battery !

The military has released 182 suspects detained in connection with Boko Haram activities in Borno State.
Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. General Kenneth Minimah, who handed over the released suspects to the sate Governor, Kashim Shettima at the Maimalari Cantonment yesterday in Maiduguri, the state capital, said the suspects had been investigated and found not to have any link with Boko Haram or terror activities.
"We have over 100 detainees who were suspected to have link with Boko Haram. They include 100 men, 40 underaged boys, 24 women and 18 children. They have been thoroughly investigated and acquitted of any involvement in the activities of Boko Haram or connected with the group, We have decided to hand them over to the Borno State Government," Minimah said.
He said the release of the suspects was part of the activities lined up for the Army Day celebration that started in Abuja last week. He said the army decided to round up the event in Maiduguri, where its troops were currently engaged in counter-insurgency operations codenamed: Operation Zaman Lafia.
He pledged that the military would not abdicate in its responsibility to protect Nigerian territory against terrorists and end Boko Haram.
The army chief, who arrived Maiduguri yesterday with the military hierarchy, said the Army Day celebration was to project achievements, capabilities and prospects of the Nigerian Army while boosting the morale of men and officers fighting to restore peace in the North-East.
He said the army was holding some of the activities in Borno State being the worst hit by Boko Haram insurgency among the affected three North-East states.
The decision, according to him, was to show the world that Borno State was secured with social and economic activities going on.
Minimah had earlier paid a courtesy visit to Governor Shettima and the Shehu of Borno, Alhaji Abubakar Umar El-Kanemi, after which the trio laid wreath for the fallen soldiers at the military cemetery near the Headquarters of the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army.
The Chief of Army Staff also addressed and decorated officers and troops in counter-insurgency operations with medals at 212 Battalion Parade Ground, Maimalari Cantonment.
Shettima, who commended the military for adhering to the rule of law in handling of the cases of the suspects, urged the media to be fair and just in their reportage of the Nigerian military.

From the Incredible Hercules comic
Again, I got this image from a forum. After, all forum's are the best place to keep up to date on the latest news. To give all credit to the guy who scanned this image, I'll just quote him directly.
"At the old hobo center writiers stick Aunt May in because they have nothing else to do with her, she is serving food with Herc's ex wife(I forgot her name, but she's a God of some form and she's pretty damn crazy). Anyway, May wants her to forget about her ex and go out with someone new. You see where I'm going with this? " -UltSpidey Fan, from Spiderman crawlspace
Personal thoughts:
I hope Peter doesn't end up falling for this goddess. That 'line' has sentimental value. It belongs to Mary Jane.
In should only be used in the context where there is something important or big. For eg. MJ's first appearance, and the end of OMD.

Emotional investing – the road to ruin
It's a fact: Emotional investing doesn't pay, it costs. Market study after market study has clearly proved that when investors are driven by emotions – jumping into and out of stocks looking for the next winner, pouring money into mutual funds following a period of strong market growth, and then moving to the next 'hot' asset class during market troughs – they often lose, and sometimes lose big.
Here's an example: In 1999, the Canadian equities market jumped a spectacular 31.7 per cent, prompting a lot of investors to hop on board in the year 2000. Over the next two years, the market went negative, declining by over 12% in each of those two years and many of those 'heat seeking' investors bailed out. So, not only did they miss the big jump of 1999, they also absorbed large losses when they cashed out. However, had those investors stayed invested for the entire 1999-2007 period they would have enjoyed overall returns of close to 30 per cent.
And that brings us to one of the prime rules for investing success: Trying to time the market or a stock almost never works. But time in the market does by delivering better overall returns – especially when you couple your long-term stay the course strategy with:
When you invest with reason instead of emotion and wrap other effective strategies around the ones introduced here – such as investing according to your tolerance for risk, achieving instant diversification through a portfolio mutual fund, and dollar cost averaging to eliminate any concerns you may have as to when the right time to invest is – you will be well on the road to financial success, regardless of short-term market or economic downturns. Your professional advisor can make sure your investing strategies are right for your personal needs, expectations and goals.

Everyone should post more often.
That is the point of this thread.
I think Coleo should post more often.
The views and information expressed here are randomly generated computer giberish and in no way reflect my own, Thank You.
Everyone should post more often.
That is the point of this thread.
Go fuck yourself thales. That is not at all what happened on beyond. You spammed the board with threads and would talk down to anyone who thought different. Took it as far as insults and veiled threats. Then you got banned after 6 months of making the current events section a total mess.
If this site is dying it's likely cause you killed it. Please don't take this post as a sign to come back. But this is my first post here, so you are generating traffic way to go.
Still living in a basement? Anyone in touch with Elchoppahead? Now that would be an interesting return if he was bored enough!
In the past I have said a lot of things that have upset people here. People don't want to deal with reality if it might effect their pocket book.
Here is a recap of the warnings I gave in the past. These warnings mad some people furious.
1. The PC's are overheating the economy, oil prices cannot possibly stay this high and a dip will cause a crash.
2. The PC's will be voted out in the next election.
3. The Americans handling of the middle east will cause the rise of something worse than the Taliban.
4. Unless we clean up the tarsands, European countries will stop buying our oil.
5. Alberta should be building refineries so that we are not constantly abused with artificially inflated gasoline prices.
6. Climate change is going to cause drought in Canada's west. Crops will be badly hurt.
For some of the comments I made, people would respond with discrimination by comparing my invisible disability to people with visual disabilities.
Banning me from sites has never had anything to do with my conduct, but rather my message and my unwillingness to bow down to bullies and stupid people.
I come to the site because racecar
I come to this site so I can see what everyone is building and buy parts,sell parts. read messages from people whom need to go to the garage and work on their stuff and not clutter up the messages with mindless crap.
Global warming is real, damn rights cant wait for it to speed its shit up minus 45 is too damn cold.
As for the government, I may just run for office. The red neck party where, loud exhaust, drinkin and carrying on is praised. Where we give more money to teachers and nurses instead of stupid hockey or football goofs.
There you even got me on a rant.
I have a problem I see Mustangs and I think "Hello there".
How the hell do people think crap like this is funny.
Sometimes I think the death penalty isnt a half bad idea.
Still waiting for you to 'come by and see me' like you promised a few years ago. Anytime fucktard.

- Belgian Dark Strong
Belgian Dark Strong
Flavor Notes
Large notes of figs and stone fruits are present in the nose, with a hint of alcohol. The draw is smooth with spice at the end. Figs, plums, and rye are very prominent flavors that are followed by a slight heat from the alcohol content. The hop bitterness supports the large malt bill by clipping the maltiness of the beer and allowing for a cleaner draw.
Malts Used
Pilsner, Caramunich I, Aromatic, Weyermann Special W, Chocolate Rye,
Hops Used
Motueka, Pacifica
Yeast Used
Food Pairings
Barbecued and jerked meats. Emily's Lebanese foods featuring raisins, figs, or plums.
Belgian Dark Strongs are an enigma of a style. They share certain characteristics with Belgian Quadruples while in many peoples minds they have a distinct separation. Traditional Trappist beer designations were based on initial gravity readings, for example, a gravity of 1.060 would be designated as 6, and a gravity of 1.080 would be designated as an 8. We can see these designations still with La Trappe Brewery's beers. This helped to designate the stylings of Single, Dubbel, Tripel, and Quadruple. A Dubbel is twice the gravity of a single as, whereas a Triple is three times the gravity of a single. These days, a mix of secular and trappist breweries use these designations as well as their own, creating dynamic process of naming conventions.
American craft brewers have taken these styles and continued to expand their definitions. Belgian breweries tend to get locked into style and product and maintain those brew standards for the life of the brewery, changing only out of financial necessity. American breweries find themselves with a bit more freedom with their product, and regularly have seasonal varieties, one-offs, and generally special brews allowing them to play with flavor profiles and recipes. Designations such as Dubbel, Dark Strong, Tripels, etc. are often thrown into the mix and stretch the definitions of styles already set in place. This "stretching" then streches customer and expert expectations of styles creating the dynamic definition process beer is constantly undergoing. One very popular product tends to change defined styles, which is something that can often be seen in the beer world.
The Belgian Dark Strong style generally indicates that it is stronger in alcohol content than Tripels and is darker than the typical golden color. It is definitely a sibling with the Belgian Golden Strong, both of which are very similar to their counterparts, the Tripel and the Quadrupel. The alcohol content of Belgian Dark Strongs are generally over 8% and they have large fig, plum, and dried cherry fruit notes. Spicey phenols from the Belgian yeasts compliment the sweeter malt flavors. A slight alcohol warmth should be present, but generally blends into the malt bill.
Dangerous Man's Belgian Dark Strong is dark russet in color, and has pleasant toffee, caramel, and rye spice on the nose. It's draw is a little over medium-bodied and the sweet malt tones are clipped by the bittering hop presence. Notes of toffee, caramel, plums, and figs are present in this beer, as well as a dry, spicey note. As the beer warms, new flavors emerge for a increasingly complex beer.

By Dave Brody
Nearly eight years have passed since a young Democrat named Barack Obama captured the White House. Now, another up-and-coming politician has a chance to take a similar path.
This time it's a Republican and his name is Marco Rubio.
The Florida senator sees Iowa as the first stop on his road to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It's the ultimate American dream, and for this 43-year-old, the future is now.
"I've been told, 'Why don't you wait? You could be the candidate of the future.' And I say, 'Well that's good news because this election is in the future,'" Rubio told a hundred gatherers at a local house party in Iowa.
That philosophy of the future will be the centerpiece of his presidential run. His campaign theme is "A New American Century." While on the road in Iowa, Rubio told CBN News his overall plan.
"We have to have policies, tax policies, regulatory policies, debt policies, healthcare policies that make us globally competitive," he explained.
"We are engaged in a massive global competition for investment and for innovation and we are falling behind because our government has policies that are holding us back," he charged.
An American Success Story
Rubio supporters see him as American success story. Raised in a Spanish-speaking home to Cuban-born parents, he grew up in a working class family. After arriving in America, both parents worked hard.
Their rich family spirit made up for any financial shortcomings. It's a lesson that sticks with the young senator to this day.
"The family is the original cell of society," Rubio told CBN News. "It is the first and most important government. It is the first church. The family is the singular most important institution in society. It existed before government. It existed before laws."
A strong faith is also key. He grew up Roman Catholic, though at one point the family tried Mormonism. Rubio says that didn't feel right.
"As I got more theologically aware and more engaged and learning about Catholicism, I wanted to go back and so we did," Rubio recalled. "I did first communion on Christmas Day in 1984. That was probably in 7th or 8th grade."
As a young adult, Rubio admits he fell away from his faith so his wife started attending a Baptist church. They went there for a number of years, but eventually Rubio felt a tug back to his Catholic roots.
"In an ironic way, the more I learned about the written Word, the more I fell in love with the Roman Catholic teachings and we ended up going back to that church," he told CBN News.
"And so today we're in a place where we are Roman Catholics, fully aligned with the theology and the Magisterium, the teaching authority of the Church – but also with a tremendous appreciate for, and often interaction with our brothers and sisters in Christ who attend other denominations," he said.
Christianity's 'Real and Present Danger'
Today, his deep faith drives public policy positions on social issues such as traditional marriage.
"If you think about it, we are at the water's edge of the argument that mainstream Christian teaching is hate speech," Rubio told CBN News. "Because today we've reached the point in our society where if you do not support same-sex marriage you are labeled a homophobe and a hater."
"So what's the next step after that?" he asked.
"After they are done going after individuals, the next step is to argue that the teachings of mainstream Christianity, the catechism of the Catholic Church is hate speech and there's a real and present danger," he warned.
Rubio said he's ready to face danger, here and around the world.
"You don't want to be engaged in every conflict on the planet. We're not the world's policemen," he said. "But I question – what would happen in the alternative? If America doesn't lead, what happens? Well, what happens is chaos."
A Bumpy Road Ahead
His positions and early standing in the polls put Rubio in a good position even this early in the race. His backers like a General Election scenario of a young Marco Rubio vs. Hillary Clinton, who's been around awhile.
He does face some challenges with the base though – specifically his work with Democrats on comprehensive immigration reform, something that he knew could hurt his chances of becoming president when he discussed this issue with CBN News two years ago.
Keeping Priorities Straight
That moment crystalized the importance of family in Rubio's life.
"I believe that at home my most important job is to be a husband to my wife and a father to my children. If I can't do that right, I can't lead a nation," he told CBN News.
"One day I will no longer be in politics. One day I will no longer be a senator or a president or anything else. But I will always be a father and I will always be a husband," he said.
As for president, he'll leave that up to the American people and almighty God.
"Ultimately my view of it is you go out and do the very best you can and ultimately it's going to turn out the way voters and God decide," he said.
