I have to say I am very impressed with those who attended the various hearings throughout the state! You definitely made a difference in educating those at these meetings about four wheel driving and the need for trails and a park in Wisconsin! Also, on the reverse many of us also got educated on the DNR's thoughts and suggestions!!
For those who have not as of yet submitted input on the last two regions please do soon!! The info must be submitted by January 2!! There is a quick survey that you can do and please as before send on to friends and whomever may be interested and that includes those out of state! Also, you can make copies of the questionnaire hard copy and you can take to your club meeting and hand them out for them to fill out and even send them all in one envelope! Below you will find the link to access the site.
Also, it is time to for you to recap your thoughts regarding access around the whole state and a park to Cameron Bump whose e-mail you will also find in the link below.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Master Trail Builders Certification – Bridge Brown can set up training and she can work on grants. Alex suggests that W4WDA have someone get certified. Brian Much on STC can help with class info.
Rich Wise suggested that we start a committee to search for land. Sam thinks this should be done by region. Should we give info from private people to DNR or take care of it ourselves. Region VPs should do the research and report to Sam and DNR.
It was suggested that we invite a DNR person to go on trail rides so that they can better understand our needs.
Trail Specifications – See Directors report
MW4WDA – Butch Chapin mentioned that there is less than $2,300 in the bank, the insurance premium is more than the clubs are paying. 3 clubs have land owners listed, cost is $103 per club.

The cost would be $40 per truck, $5 per passenger and camping is $25 per unit with power. Tent camping is free. There is a 15 vehicle minimum. W4WDA would be responsible for the cost if they do not get to the 15 minimum. It was agreed that we would move forward with scheduling this event. We can arrive Friday at 4 and have the park until Sunday noon. W4WDA could charge a little more than the requested fee with the extra going back to W4WDA to cover expense. There would be no trail guides and we could have a bonfire. Joel will help with the trail ride, we should come up with a charity for the event.

Energy and the Environment
For this, our fourth series of British Academy Debates, the Academy focused on one of the world's most complex and divisive issues: energy and the environment. Held in the run-up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris (COP21) in late 2015, our purpose was to explore the momentous changes in the way we generate and use energy. Across the world, there is growing concern over the impact of energy systems on human health and the environment. There is now an urgent need for discussions about how we can increase standards of living and tackle poverty, at a time when there is strong growth in the world economy, an increasing population and intense urbanisation. Globally, there is an increasing awareness of the risks posed by fossil fuels, and particularly of their contribution to climate change and local air pollution. There is also a need for a rapid transition to alternative sources of energy. But concerns about managing radical change, including who might win or lose from such a shift, and the practical challenges of abandoning the traditional consumption of oil, coal and gas, have made energy one of the most contentious areas of public policy in many countries. For this reason, the British Academy teamed up with the Royal Society, with support from the Climate Change Collaboration and Prospect, to allow audiences in England, Wales and Scotland to listen to experts' views and have their say about one of the most important issues facing our generation.

Bishop David Every Konstant Eighth Bishop of Leeds
18TH October 2016
On Monday, 17 October Bishop David Konstant's body was received into Leeds Cathedral, followed by Sung Vespers with the Canons of the Cathedral Chapter. At 7.30pm there was a Sung Requiem Mass for Bishop David, at which Mgr Andrew Summersgill preached the homily.
The following day (Tuesday, 18th October at 12 noon) a Solemn Funeral Mass for Bishop David was celebrated by Bishop Marcus Stock at Leeds Cathedral. In attendance were family and friends of Bishop David, priests of the diocese, and many of his fellow bishops. Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor preached, and the Eulogy was given by long-standing family friend, Tim Morgan.
Homily by Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor
A number of my good friends have died this summer and among them, particularly, Bishop David. We were ordained bishops in the same year, 1977. In the same year, also ordained was someone then called Professor Ratzinger who had a very high regard for Bishop David. David and I were very good friends. If at any time I wanted good counsel on a particular issue I would ring David. He was wise, practical, decisive and very intelligent. It is no wonder that my predecessor, Cardinal Basil Hume, wanted him to be his Auxiliary Bishop in Westminster where he was a great help to him, especially in the field of education.
"Old men forget", said Shakespeare. Oh no they don't! They remember the past and times together. Bishop David came many times to my home in Storrington in Sussex. We walked on the South Downs, chewed the cud on Church affairs and, back at the house, he would search out the nearest computer and use his technological skills in a way that was unknown to me at that time. I should also mention the great influence David had at meetings of the Bishops' Conference. He was full of sanity, wisdom and a great help in our various deliberations.
I went on two foreign visits with David. The first was to South Africa and to Kenya. There, together with the Bishop of Ngong, an Englishman – a Mill Hill Missionary – who was showing us around, we got totally lost in the Masai district of that lovely country. This was in the midst of a huge storm. It was dark, a huge herd of elephants came towards us – it was really quite frightening. I remember the bishop stopped the car, kept the lights on and said quietly, "Let's say the rosary", which we did and eventually all was well.
The other visit with David was to Tours in France. David had been chosen to assist in the composition of the new Catechism and his section was that on morals of which the Archbishop of Tours, Archbishop Honore was the chair. David wanted to improve his French and the Archbishop invited him to come and stay. David wanted a companion and I was happy to go with him. We had a most enjoyable few days, seeing the wonderful Chateau of the Loire Valley and, above all, the generous hospitality of the Archbishop. He was a great host and the food was delicious; as for the wine, I don't want to exaggerate but with every glass our French became more and more fluent. It was because of his work with the new Catholic Catechism that the then Cardinal Ratzinger got to know Bishop David and had a high esteem for him personally and for his contribution to that important project.
Your diocese will have many memories of Bishop David. He was, if I may say so, 'a safe pair of hands' – a really good diocesan bishop who cared deeply for his priests and for his people. He was what I think all bishops would want to be, a good shepherd. I wonder what he would say if he were here today? A few years ago he sent me his excellent booklet called, Post Scripts, with the inscription to me, Just some light-hearted reflections to help you go to sleep. Affectionately, David. But there is one piece when he is talking about Jubilees and he says that, "when priests gather together, it is a lovely family occasion, not devoted to reminiscences but simply to celebrate Mass together and sharing a meal with each other. Such gatherings are important for a variety of reasons, to say thank you to each other, to enjoy each other's company, to encourage one another – or, in short, to rejoice and be glad" I think he would want all of us here in this great Cathedral – clergy and laity – to rejoice and be glad as we remember and give thanks for his long life of service in the Church where Bishop David fought the good fight and kept the faith. I will miss him as will all of you here.
The readings today are all about the conquering of death. Isaiah has that well-known phrase of the mountain with succulent food and rich wines – which I must admit would not go amiss with most of us. But really the passage also reads that the Lord will wipe away the tears from every cheek and will destroy death forever. Somehow the paradise we long for is the full flowering of the seed sown here on earth.
I would like to end by quoting from Pope Emeritus Benedict who admired Bishop David so much and who spoke of the often forgotten virtue of hope. He said this, "We need the greater and lesser hopes that keep us going day by day. But these are not enough without the great hope which must surpass everything else. That great hope can only be God who encompasses the whole of reality – not any God but the God who has a human face and loves us to the very end. (Spe Salvi). That great hope was Bishop David's and it is ours "Eye has not seen nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love him". (1.Cor.2:9).
So, farewell, Bishop David and we pray for you with utter confidence in the love and mercy of God whom you served so devotedly in your life upon earth. Eternal rest give unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him, may he rest in peace. Amen.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor

"To succeed on this front, India must ensure that as many citizens as possible have employable skills, are healthy and actively participate in the nation's mainstream economy as income earners and consumers," said the study titled 'Demographics, digitalization and development: India's path to inclusive growth'.
"India must put education, healthcare and agriculture at the forefront of its inclusive growth agenda," it said.
"Development programs aimed at making improvements in these sectors must start demonstrating better performance-in terms of ability to scale, speed of value delivered to beneficiaries and sustainability of impact."
Failure to reach intended beneficiaries in a time-bound manner and unfulfilled promises are the critical shortfalls in project design and deployment that are preventing development programmes from delivering, it highlighted.
Greater project awareness combined with improved accessibility can help overcome the scale shortfall. Similarly, accessibility coupled with affordability can greatly improve the chances that a project will remain economically viable over a sustained period.
"Only programmes that can deliver maximum impact at minimum cost (including funding and time) will survive the test of India's vast population and the daunting nature of its demographic transition," said the ASSOCHAM-Accenture study.
Digital technologies can help program leaders improve performance attributes of awareness, accessibility and affordability so vital to the success of these initiatives, it added.
"Digital technologies can radically improve performance of development-related programs, leading to faster delivery of greater value to more beneficiaries," further said the ASSOCHAM-Accenture study.
"Determining strategic focus to align with India's growth priorities, building digital capabilities across the value chain to improve project awareness and accessibility, and nurturing an inclusive culture characterised by compassion," is a three-step process for using digitalisation to support inclusive growth and set the stage for companies to build and launch successful development programs.

I meant to blog about this last year when I first came upon this sign posted in a Chicago "L" train, but for some reason it got away from me. Jennifer and I were headed up to the North Side for a friend's Bible study when we came across the advert:
At face value, there is nothing inherently wrong or even bad about the sentiment expressed here: No one should live on the margins! This is a commitment to combatting poverty, and the problems of the economically marginalized — the very poor — who lack resources and skills and who are constantly preyed upon by those seeking fairly easy profits and who possess far more resources and skills than they do.
The Catholic Campaign for Human Development has a long history of this kind of work (it is what the US Conference of Catholic Bishops created the campaign for), and I suspect it has had its measure of success. Based on some public service announcements from the early 1970s, I suspect the campaign has also understood that dealing with poverty is more than simply a matter of economics — it is also a matter of community, belonging, and the meaning of human existence.
So far as it goes, I'm okay with the sentiment expressed here.
But there's also something that bothers me about this sentiment — No one should live on the margins. It feels … authoritarian, if not downright totalitarian. As a command, and a cultural aspiration, it means no one is allowed to not conform to cultural or social norms. No one should be allowed to live on the margins… Again, that sounds compassionate. After all, marginal lives are vulnerable ones, vulnerable to predators and abuse and the personal and institutional callousness that is all-too-often life in community for those who fall on either tail of the gaussian distribution of conformity or ability or identity. The law is rarely a shield to protect those who live marginal lives. Most of the time, it is a club. One that falls fast, and furious, and is often merciless.
I suppose, then, wanting to make sure there are no margins — and no people living in them — by expanding notions of acceptable conformity is humane. Even laudable.
Except I find frequently it is not. Progressives are limited simply by the way they think of people, as members of classes or groups defined by race/gender/sexual orientation. Personality and ability don't count as difference, as least not as acceptable or tolerable difference, in the progressive worldview. Progressives have expanded the center — and the number of people who can now inhabit that center — and further squeezed the margins. But the progressive view, at this point, seems to be: "We're a great deal more inclusive of difference so now it really is your fault if you cannot conform." In a society inclusive of diversity, it's actually harder to live on the social or cultural margin.
The diverse society that progressives are creating is actually more conformist and less tolerant. As Nicholas Kristof wrote recently:
We're fine with people who don't look like us, as long as they think like us.
Any community or society held together by a shared ideology is going to be inherently intolerant. Because it will assume anyone can and should embrace the ideology (and all good people will), and it will insist that the ideology — the right ideas — be the only thing that holds the community together.
So, there can be no margins in an ideologically constructed society. Anyone who lives on a margin is simply a victim of misfortune or discrimination who needs to be either elevated or educated. And anyone who persists in living there is a criminal and a threat to the community and they deserve what they have coming.
The reality is some human lives are inherently marginal. This is just a truth of being human that no ideology of inclusion or diversity can change. Going back to that gaussian distribution, there's a large and well-inhabited center and increasingly thinner tails the farther you get from that center. This also includes non-conformists and dissidents from culture, depending upon how the majority (or plurality) of the community or society is constructed.
There is a truth that gets forgotten — the center needs the margin and the margins need the center. You cannot have one without the other. The margins are where creative energy resides, where the ability to regenerate a complacent center arises, where the art and literature of a people really comes from, where real liberty exists in all its rough and messy ways. The center is where order and stability lie, where the measure of what is marginal originates, and where the resources to sustain that margin come from. The center atrophies and collapses without the margin, and the margin sinks into a desperate and deeply uncreative hedonism without the center.
The center needs a creative margin (which is always poised on the edge of dissolute self-destruction) and the margin needs a confident center to both provide order (which is always poised to try and destroy what it sees as a deeply disorderly and frightening margin) but also to be the order to organize and identify against.
Our ideological world, however, wants a center without margins, or margins without a center. These end up being the same thing, though — a world in which conformity is so valued, so expected, so demanded, that no one is allowed to acceptably non-conform. In which the authority to compel is run amok, unchecked, and uncheckable.
It is also a world in which no one is really allowed to be human.

"No one rivals Doom! NO ONE! Doom is supreme! There is no power on Earth, no intellect in all creation to equal mine!" — Doctor Doom, FF #258
When people think of the Fantastic Four's arch-villain, Doctor Doom is the only logical choice. (Assuming they can only have one, that is.) So, why did I wait until my second FF villains post to cast him? Simply put, I had Puppet Master written up and was finishing Mole Man, when I realized that I had plenty for one post. Plus, there was no reason I had to stress out over trying to get a third done in time, so… I held off 'til this week. Please forgive me. I hope it was worth the wait….
Victor von Doom was born & raised among the much-maligned and persecuted Zefiro gypsies in the small Eastern European country of Latveria. He lost his mother (a practitioner of sorcery) when he was four and his father (a healer) when he was eleven, both indirectly due to conflicts with the King and his soldiers. He spent his youth applying his amazing intellect to mastering both science and sorcery and even then vowed to use his knowledge to rule the world.
Doom's early scientific feats brought him to the attention of both the U.S. military and the scientific establishment. He accepted a full scholarship to State University, where he met Reed Richards and Ben Grimm. The arrogant and reclusive Doom became intellectual rivals with Richards, their competition being quite tense yet productive. (Doom's work in robotics and time travel were financed by the U.S. military.) Meanwhile, he also continued with his study of the mystic arts, and his experiments in this area sometimes included scientific apparatus. During one of these experiments, Richards happened by and noticed a calculation that was off. Doom refused to listen, and the experiment failed, scarring Doom's face. He blamed Richards, and thus their rivalry became even more serious and, at times, deadly.
Going into hiding, Doom continued his scientific and sorcerous efforts, including a working prototype of his Time-Platform. A soul-searching trek in the Himalayas led him to a secret order of monks who saved his life. The monks were masters of both technology and mysticism, and he spent the next 5 years mastering all they knew and then some. He became their leader and insisted they call him "Doctor Doom". When he heard about Richards' experimental space ship, he became enraged. Then he designed his iconic armor, built by the monks, which serves to cut him off both physically and emotionally from the world. His impatience caused him to don the mask before it finished cooling, thereby grafting it to his face and causing incredible pain.
From there, Doom reunited with the Zefiro tribe and managed to liberate Latveria from King Vladimir's harsh rule. However, Doom's rule has been at least as harsh on his subjects, if not more so. He demands absolute loyalty, immediate and unquestioning obedience, and will maim or kill anyone who disobeys or even annoys him. Doom went on to challenge and attack Reed Richards and the rest of the Fantastic Four multiple times over the years. In addition, Doom has fought many other superheroes and villains alike, often personally but also using his Doombots and/or via Machiavellian machinations behind the scenes. There have been occasions when Doom has allied himself with "good guys" to meet a mutual threat. (Current comics even have him forsaking his old ways and taking on the mantle of Iron Man in a quest for redemption and meaning!) But, Doom is at his megalomaniacal best as the incredibly cunning and powerful arch-villain with one of the most brilliant minds (and matching ego) in the world.
Historically, perhaps the three passions that most drive Doctor Doom are 1) his loyalty to Latveria and his Zefiro gypsy clan in particular; 2) his mission to retrieve the soul of his deceased mother from Mephisto; and, of course, 3) his all-consuming hatred for Reed Richards and the desire to prove himself Richards' intellectual superior.
It has been said that Doom's greatest weapon is his super-genius intellect, with which he has designed various versions of his amazing, nuclear-powered, titanium armor, which gives him superstrength, invulnerability, and several offensive and defensive weapons. With a knowledge-base that covered a wide breadth of scientific disciplines, he has also built many other weapons, a time machine, advanced robots (aka Doombots and the Latverian Servo-Guard), and other technological wonders. He is an accomplished martial artist, athlete, swordsman, painter and pianist. His will is so great that he has resisted psychic assaults and attempts at mind-control, though this may have been at least partially a side-effect of his mystical endeavors. Beginning with the mystic artifacts and affinity for sorcery inherited from his mother, Doom has at various times taught himself and been tutored by Dr. Strange and Morgan Le Fay. But, it was his diabolical pact with a trio of demons called the Hazareth Three that, for a time, granted him magical powers that put him on par with the greatest sorcerers. (At another time, he even acquired the Beyonder's god-like powers. Yikes!)
We already know that Doom's personality is that of an elitist, self-righteous tyrant. So, let's move on to his physical appearance. Marvel's wiki lists Doom as 6'2″ (6'7″ armored), 225 lbs. (415 lbs. armored), with brown hair and eyes. For many years he had facial scars, which were generally hidden beneath his mask. Aside from the scars, he is an attractive man, well-built and in excellent physical shape. The hair can always be dyed, of course, and muscle can always be added. I would prefer to keep our Doom over 6′ tall but probably not over 6'4″ — just enough to be imposing, especially when in full armor. Speaking of which, I have not been impressed with the two big-screen versions of Doom, and part of that was the attempt to merge him with his armor is some way, making him some sort of cyborg/mutant. (Don't care for the early Ultimate version, either.) No, he needs to be a man in heavy armor — deceptively high-tech armor, but armor nonetheless — and it should look very close to the classic version seen in these pics. As for Doom's age, I decided to go with a slightly older version (as I did for my FF casting), so somewhere in his mid-30s to mid-40s. Oh, and a nice baritone voice would be ideal, preferably with an accent that sounds like he is from Eastern Europe.
So, who might possibly play this iconic character?
First up is Goran Visnjic (6'4″,b.1972), the Croatian-born actor who became a TV heartthrob during his many years on the U.S. TV series "ER". He has also appeared in The Peacemaker, Practical Magic, Spartacus (TV movie), Elektra, "The Deep", "Leverage", "Extant", and is currently co-starring in "Timeless". He has the Eastern European look, general build, and accent we want. Assuming he packs on a few pounds, I think he could be a great Doom.
Next we have Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (6'1.5″or2″,b.1970), a square-jawed native of Denmark best known for his portrayal of Jaime Lannister, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, in "Game of Thrones". His other genre credits include Black Hawk Down, My Name Is Modesty: A Modesty Blaise Adventure, Kingdom of Heaven, "New Amsterdam", Blackthorn, Oblivion, A Second Chance, and Gods of Egypt. Denmark isn't Eastern Europe, but having lived & worked in Europe, he could probably come up with a satisfactory accent. He's not my fave pick, but he could do a good job.
Finally, I found another Eastern European candidate in Michal Zebrowski (6'2″,b.1972). I'm not familiar with this actor's work, since most of it is in Polish, but he does have a few relevant credits. He was in With Fire and Sword, The Hexer (see pic), The Pianist, Army of Valhalla, and The Vulture (aka Sep). With dark hair and a few pounds of muscle, Zebrowski could be an excellent Doctor Doom!
Comments? Critiques? Not sure when I'll get around to a "Part 3″, but I'm sure I will eventually. Which FF villains should I cast next?
P.S. Last minute idea: For a 30-something Doom, what do you think of Superman himself, Henry Cavill (6'1",b.1983)? Inspired casting or stupid?

Storm in a tea-cup, or tea leaves that can predict an Ofsted visit?
A story has appeared in the Observer 19/10/14, that looks into the claims that three schools had prior warning of an Ofsted visit. The information was given in the form of whistleblowing. The schools in question were Ormison Victory Academy, Thetford Academy and Great Yarmouth Primary academy. Rachel DeSouza, 'Superhead' and now Chief Exec of Inspiration Trust, was previously Head at Ormiston, both Thetford and Great Yarmouth Primary Academy are schools run by Inspiration. Rachel DeSouza also during this time was working part-time as an Ofsted Inspector. Following the claims, Ofsted appointed Sir Robin Bosher to conduct an investigation. He was the Head who previously worked for Harris, and was one of the IEB members at Downhills who conducted a consultation about academy conversion, which despite massive opposition by all stakeholders, became a Harris academy. Ofsted investigating its own potential leaks was criticised by many who called for a independent scrutiny. The report uncovers emails that suggest that DeSouza had prior knowledge of the inspection.
The observer has also uncovered expenses spent by the trust which includes a teaset by designer Vera Wang at a cost of £420, and 'Boss' furniture costing over £10 ,000. For full story read: http://www.theguardian.com/education/2014/oct/18/emails-academies-ofsted-inspectors-rachel-de-souza
The Trust is run by 5 trustees, four of whom have only experience in the world of finance, insurance, outsourcing and making millions. Only 1, Rachel DeSouza, has any tangible link to the world of education. Two of these 5 have links to the Tory party: one a former MP and the other a party donor. In addition Agnew is a trustee of the Policy Exchange and a non-executive director of the DFE.
When we looked at their record for school improvement, we were underwhelmed. They have 7 schools, only two have had full inspections since being taken over by Inspiration. One of those was good as community school and remains good and the other has improved from satisfactory to good after a three year partnership.
One of their free schools, Sir Isaac Newton Free school has lost a principal after just one year. http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/education/founding_principal_of_sir_isaac_newton_sixth_form_free_school_quits_just_a_year_after_it_opened_1_3757094
Now that further emails have been revealed, surely this casts doubt on the Ofsted internal investigation, and we would suggest that questions have to be asked about the legitimacy of the latest Ofsted visits, all of which gave positive reviews.

2019 Ford Focus RS Custom Release Date – The prolonged expected and intensely vaunted Ford Focus RS is now bought in the U.S. There's also a Stealth Gray Focus RS being put into my yard for the full seven days. Yeah, it 's hard fighting away from the enticement of all-day time pushes and sideways drifting actions as I gaze at its lavish style by way of my business office residence windowpane. Not surprisingly, the car is incredibly exciting to drive. The torque-wealthy engine and 6-acceleration guide supply more than satisfactory exhilaration, even though obtaining groceries. But there is a single traveling a vehicle characteristic I see as a twice-edged sword – the insanely nevertheless revocation.
2019 Ford Focus RS Custom Redesign
Natural highways, broken pavement, washboard concrete in proximity to an intersection – there is no escaping the messages instructed rattling making use of the Focus RS's cabin right lower and into my your-your bones. The Ford Focus RS Custom made rides like Ford overlooked to set up springs and shocks. Each imperfection in road transformed into the people inside of. In reality, Ford paid for much awareness of the Focus RS' revocation and the encircling development.
The average bystander may assume Ford just slapped some great bodywork to a typical Ford Focus RS Customized when developing the RS. Quite the reverse is actual, and that is not making up the powertrain upgrades. "The Ford Focus RS Customized adores a unibody building that's been intensely recognized and is 25 percentage a lot more torsionally rigid than the regular hatchback." The Focus RS likes a unibody framework that is substantially strengthened and is 25 percent more torsionally rigid than the ordinary hatchback. The rear jolt towers are substantially a lot more durable, as is the RS-certain rear subframe that attributes the RS-unique differential. The subframe has new works together with that connect it to the body, and triangular meat items maintain flexing to a bare minimum. Ford is then mounting bolts on two-stage jolt absorbers and more stiff coil springs for all some corners. The entrance springs are 33 pct a lot more rigid although the rear coils are 38 percentage firmer – nonetheless, not these on the typical Focus. No, more rigorous than the others on the sporty Focus Saint! The dampers are vehicle driver-selectable among standard and sports options. The Focus RS loves a unibody platform that is considerably strengthened and is 25 percent a whole lot more torsionally stiff than the regular hatchback. The rear big surprise towers are substantially a lot more robust, as is the RS-specific rear subframe that homes the RS-distinctive differential. The subframe has new facilitates that connect it to the body and triangular meat sections remember to keep flexing to a minimum. Ford was then mounting bolts on two-stage shock absorbers and more firm coil springs for many several sides. The front side springs are 33 pct stiffer when the rear coils are 38 Percent more firm – however, not these on the typical Focus.
No, stiffer as against individuals on the sporty Focus Saint! The dampers are vehicle driver-selectable among standard and sports styles. As the title signifies, an all-natural setting is for everyday driving a car. Continue to; the Focus RS believes every single imperfection in the street. The twitchy ride is the trade away from for magnificent dealing with. The Focus RS remains sleek insides and looks strongly planted at greater charges of speed. For optimum keep and firmness, sports technique brings the toughness percentage to 40. Sports mode's proposal (done by an option on the finish of the turn indicate stalk) generates a noticeable and fast variation in high drive top quality. The car quickly appears as if it's bicycling on wood stops. Protrusions encounter like level costs in a WWII-era submarine. The plastic-type material sections within the comparatively peaceful cabin get started rattling, together with any loosened items drifting about. Transform the FM radio from, and you might also notice the gasket between the driver's entrance and B-pillar squeaking from motion. This is not some knock on Ford's construction, but a sign of precisely how tightly sprung sports functionality is. But once the performance is grasped, the hard vacation is a little tiny problem.
2019 Ford Focus RS Custom Engine
Powertrain smart, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost 4-pipe and its two-view turbocharger produce 350 Hewlett Packard and 325 lb-ft of torque. When the quick-existed above footwear method kicks in, torque soars to 350 pound-foot. The go to 60 miles per hour only will take 4.5 secs thanks to introducing work. And irrespective of leading horsepower taking place at 6,000 rpm, the EcoBoost lays downward gobs of torque in the course of the rev range with maximum amounts arriving at 3,200 rpm. For that reason, downshifts aren't crucial as considerably. This clutch system is in the lot more large region, but the shifter feels superb. It's no Mazda Miata one half a dozen rate, but the losses are brief, and changes are rewarding. The directing offers plenty of opinions without needing the torque steer you would anticipate with 350 lb-feet . on contact. Unquestionably, the AWD program will help reduce the unwelcome twisting. The tire even dances a tiny bit when braking on irregular areas, supplying unusual reactions on which the 235/35R-19 Michelin Aviator Extremely Sports car tires are doing.
2019 Ford Focus RS Custom Price and Release Date
We are sad to bring up this is an additional of these Traditional western stories that eventually ends up being summarized with a few terms: not for all of us. Or, at the very the very least, not for the current time. Ford said it continues to the discussion should they should provide the Mountune package for many other markets, which include the United States, but it is currently limited to Europe. In the You.K., it charges £900 ($1100 at current industry costs) well just before installment at a Ford Focus RS Customized dealership. That is a razor-sharp price to cover in comparison to some of the more affordable ECU reflashes, several of that offers greater explained vitality boosts.

choose love
And I pause to think about that. About the busyness of life.
I think about my recent trip to New York on a mission trip with the youth group. We went to the Ground Zero memorial and we had been walking so long and I was so tired that the enormity of it all may have slipped through my tired body.
But then as we walked to an open spot at the memorial to take the seemingly ritual photo, I saw it, our last name. The place we just happened to walk up to had the name of a person who shared our last name. And it sunk in a little more. But then I got home and looked up that name, and I read about this fireman's life, loves and family. I turned the corner and there was another who shared our last name.
It wasn't until today that I felt the pain for those lives lost like it was the day it happened.
And I thought about a friends post on her blog about her four children growing up so fast and I think about my four. Yes, time is going by way too fast.
We truly don't know the number of our days and our children really will be leaving the nest before we know it. I don't want to agree to that. I may be to tired or busy to reconcile and accept the fact that time and life are fleeting. But reality moves on without me because I am not the captain.
But the one thing I do have power over..is love.
I can chose to love.
I can chose to forgive.
I can chose to be patient.
I can chose to let God be in control and not worry about tomorrow.
I can chose to be the kind of friend I want to have.
God help me to make the right choices and teach my children the same.

First of all, thank you.
Thank you for investing in parents by blogging about your experiences on I'm in over my head but I'm under His grace, and sharing your faith openly.
Please know how incredible this is. And be encouraged to keep going.
I hope and pray that even more Christian parents (as well as non-Christian parents looking for answers) will find your blog and will be inspired by your experiences, solutions and struggles.
We recognize that these are incredible times to live in, where technology allows parents around the world to encourage each other. As for ourselves, we use technology to reach out to children globally.
We're developing the world's first videogame that takes kids through the Bible from beginning to end. Our hope is to increase the love for God's Word amongst kids.
We dream to see fathers and sons going through the Bible together, having fun as they become part of David's army, spend time in the fish as Jonah, and play level after level, leading up to Jesus' death and resurrection.
Our prayer is that after kids finish the game, they will have an awe of God, and a deep love of the Bible; eager to read it for themselves. We believe that kids can read the Bible, no matter their age (as long as the translation fits their reading level, of course :D ).
In order to steward this immense project well, we're building relationships with parents like you. We like to ask your input by allowing you to look behind the scenes, have your kids play demo game levels before they go public, etc. You may also recommend a few people you think would be of interest.
Additionally, we can provide you with plenty of interesting "blog-food" (concept art, images, etc) if you feel that this could benefit your subscribers.
If you'd like more information, shoot me a quick reply to the email address below.

The first thing you should do is find one of the major banks in Rome. There are plenty of major banks and you'll find even more local banks around. However, these local banks aren't your best bet because they may charge more than those of major banks.
If you brought US dollars and are looking to exchange, Unicredit is a good bank that charges just 5 euros per exchange while the rate of exchange is only a few cents higher than the conversion rate. For instance, if the rate of exchange is 1.12, the conversion rate at Unicredit should be around 1.15 when exchanging US dollars to Euros. Because the rates of exchange fluctuate constantly, this could lower or higher depending on what changes in the future. It's important to add that it may take awhile to find one that actually exchanges money. That's why Unicredit is highly recommended because it's a major bank and one that also that exchanges for relatively cheap, especially when compared to airports!
If you're planning on going to another, here below is a list of more major banks that could have a cheaper exchange rate or may just be one that's more convenient for you to access.
1. ABI - Associazione Bancaria Italiana
2. Banca Credito Italiano - Unicredit Group
3. Banca d'Italia
4. Banca Monte Dei Paschi Di Siena
5. Gruppo Bancario Banco Di Napoli
6. Banca Nazionale Del lavoro - BNP Paribas
7. Banca Popolare Di Bergamo
8. Banca Di Roma - Unicredit Group
9. Mediocredito
10. Mediobanca
11. Gruppo Bancario Banco Di Napoli
12. SanPaolo IMI
UniCredit banks to EXCHANGE money:
1. Ostiense – Via Ostiense, 105, Roma
a. Phone number: 06-8782-5300
2. Prati – Via Lepanto, 4, Roma
a. Phone number: 06-8782-4804
3. Trastevere – Viale di Trastevere, 95, 00153 Roma
a. Phone number: 06-8782-0306
Most banks are only open during the weekdays anywhere from 8 to 1:30 pm and then from 2:30 to 4:30 pm. Be wary of public holidays for these days drastically change the hours from being open earlier or later depending on which holiday occurs.
In Italy, ATMs are known as Bancomats. Bancomats operate the same as ATMs in America so they should be easy to follow. There's usually a language choice at the very beginning to change to English for those that don't know any Italian!
Please contact your bank and/or credit card company to see which banks in Rome if any are compatible and if there are any foreign transaction fees. For example, American Express can be used as credit at major places in Rome for no extra fee of charge. On the contrary, Bank of America charges a 3% international fee whenever used, regardless of withdrawing or paying for something.
This 3% charge Bank of America has is obviously super high, so call your bank and ask them what you can do and if there is any "correspondent bank" that could potentially waive the fee or reduce it. For example, Bank of America's is BNL.
If pulling out of a Bancomat (ATM), Barclays is a great one because it's literally the price of the euro with no additional fee. Other Bancomats could be free charge as well so scope around or look up these Bancomats online.
SAVE YOUR MONEY!! Remember not all debit cards are compatible, so make sure to contact your bank and possible ask of ATMs that work with your card.

Debrisoft Cleaning Compress
With Debrisoft, surface wounds are quickly and effectively cleaned without hindering the healing process. The skewed fibre tips not only remove debris and exudate from the wound, but also flakes and keratoses from the surrounding wound area.
Bandage Material for Wound Bandages, Compression Bandages and Supportive Wraps
The term bandage material includes various types of compresses, wraps, plasters, swabs and tamponades. Bandage material can be used for wound bandages, as well as supportive wraps, conforming bandages, compression bandages and functional wraps, and even underpadding for casts and plaster casts.
One differentiates Bandage Material amongst the following Subcategories:
Sterile and non-sterile compresses typically serve as a wound cover and should protect the wound surface from outside influences. They can also be used as carriers for ointments and creams. In addition to common gauze and fleece compresses, there are also special compresses for catching wound secretion e.g. absorbent compresses.
Gauze Bandages/Conforming Bandages
With the help of gauze or conforming bandages, wound covers can be quickly and simply fastened. Particularly when it comes to conical body parts and joints, fastening wound covers with conforming bandages offers an advantage over fastening with plasters. Another possible use for conforming bandages is for setting functional wraps, fastening splints and applying both support and relief wraps. One can also basically differentiate between gauze bandages, crepe bandages, conforming bandages and plaster bandages.
Net and Tubular Bandages
Whether for fastening wound covers, as a skin-friendly underlay for orthopaedic wrap or for fasting padding material–net and tubular bandages have diverse applications and are easy to manipulate.
In addition to classic wound plasters for covering all types of wounds, there is also a wide array of plasters that are needed for other purposes. Conforming plasters are great for fastening wound covers or wraps, while adhesive tapes are needed for applying functional wraps and, with help of cannula plasters, can fasten venous catheters to the patient's arm.
Padding always comes into use when additional protection or pressure relief is required. For example, padding protects pressure points from rigid wraps or may even be needed for applying padded shoes to patients with diabetes.
Tamponades are placed in natural or artificial bodily orifices and provide haemostasis, carry medicine or secure a slow granulation of deeper wounds.
Swabs are equally bandage material as they are medical consumables, as they are not only used for cleaning wounds, but are also often used for carrying skin and wound disinfectants. One differentiates between gauze swabs and cellulose swabs.
In our Bandage Material category, you will find a wide selection of all bandage material from name brand manufacturers, such as MaiMed, Hartmann, BSN and Lohmann-Rauscher, at affordable prices.

After many months of close collaboration with Chloe O'Connor (click for her website) – journalist, editor, and layout artist extraordinaire – we have drawn up a post-production prospectus that both recounts our journey to-date and looks ahead, detailing our hopes and dreams for The Sheol Express. We're asking people like you – yes, YOU – to get involved!
A slew of challenges lies just around the corner, from pickup shoots to many hours of painstaking visual effects work to sound design and the final score. Bringing all of these elements together will be no easy task, and we need people to partner with us in raising completion funds. Check out the prospectus below to learn more about the steps ahead, and discover how you can join the team and help complete this special film.
If you yourself are not in a position to support The Sheol Express but know of someone else who is and may be interested, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or just forward this prospectus to them directly. Thanks!
Our inspiration for the presentation came from the look and feel of the books from the original MYST video game, released in 1993 by brothers Robyn and Rand Miller. Both Ryan and I have played through it and its successors. A worthwhile venture, especially for us, since their detailed worlds and designs have really informed the aesthetic of our films, The Sheol Express very much included.

I could't wait much more before publishing the beauty of my nation. Venice is an inspirational trip for any artists. Michael Gerber has his own version with stunning photos that I truly loved since the first minute. I have been too but in the other life with no blog, so it is like I have never been and I have to go back. Thank you Michael and keep traveling. Follow his blog www.mscgerber.com
Everybody knows Venice – almost everybody loves it. This applies even more for a photographer. I have been to Venice twice and saw it from both perspectives: The pure tourist and the photographer. With its endless charm and beautiful sights around every corner it offers something unique for every visitor. Not only is Venice a delight for your eyes but also full of history, interesting museums and places you can't find somewhere else. Built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea it combines its incredible beauty with an inimitable character. But what makes it so special as a photographer? It is hard to describe; however, I can give you an example: Whilst I stayed there for a short weekend I kept taking photographs for over 16 hours straight. The only thing that stopped me was the charge of my camera that was completely empty. Especially at night Venice will impress you with its dazzling views and architecture that basically force you to take picture after picture.

Anglo-American Ambitions behind the Assassination of Benazir Bhutto and the Destabilization of Pakistan
This was Pakistan's 9/11; Pakistan's JFK assassination, and its impact will resonate for years.
Contrary to mainstream corporate news reporting, chaos benefits Bush-Cheney's "war on terrorism". Calls for "increased worldwide security" will pave the way for a muscular US reaction, US-led force and other forms of "crack down" from Bush-Cheney across the region. In other words, the assassination helps ensure that the US will not only never leave, but also increase its presence.
The Pakistani election, if it takes place at all, is a simpler two-way choice: pro-US Musharraf or pro-US Sharif.

This morning i was jerked out of bed by a series of doorbells . Leaping out of bed I rushed with one eye still shut – just a minute did I mention that my one eye juz refused to open . Okay so theres this me taking in the world around me with one eye. Not bad I thought ….i didn't think I missed out on anything . Splashing water onto my face I slowly opened both eyes and looked around. I pretty much saw the same things ; but the image was richer and more beautiful.
I have to write about this I thought – life with both eyes open.
One can walk through life for ages with a narrow vision of the world; believing in our fixed ways of thinking until one day – Voila …the lens through which you viewed the world has beautifully widened. It's an amazing feeling . Suddenly there is so much more to life.
Some of us get our eureka breakthrough during everyday mundane tasks . while others fall hard before they figure things out.
But then there is this tricky thing about breakthroughs : u just cant go on living the way you have been doing – your thoughts change ; life around you gets different . What mattered before does not matter anymore… there is an internal pressure that gently but surely spurs you towards change.
But this change – it isn't easy . You need to let go of what you have been holding onto , the familiar , the one that's already won approval of others.
And so for now I will soak in this revelation; remind myself of it everyday . I have to keep it alive , Sustain it ; I need to steadily eliminate all the things that cloud this new vision.
Here i am , embracing this new quantum leap my mind has made.
Now that I have seen a whole new dimension to the things I thought were meant to be in a certain fashion………. I am living in a new world…A world that will bring me deeper fulfillment.

iPad's Entrance into Enterprise Is a Warning Sign For SaaS Companies
Thus far there have been a handful of notable deployments of iPad in enterprise, with companies like Audi and GE embracing the tablet paradigm, but not quite enough to roundly declare iPad an enterprise winner. Which is why it was surprising when Forrester's latest report showed iPad sales in enterprise increasing by 68% in the next year.
So if we aren't reading about massive enterprise deployments of iPad, then where exactly is this 68% percent growth coming from?
Adoption will be led by users, not companies
Apple's biggest iPad sales team are the users themselves. As Forrester points out, the company has made only small amount of formal effort to sell in the enterprise space, so the people driving this major adoption aren't Apple sales people, but rather the employees of major companies.
In the past, companies handed down devices to their employees and employees were forced to adopt them. However, the change to an "always connected" work environment has meant that more employees are using their own devices for their jobs and this is leading to a consumerization of IT. Whether they like it or not, "iEmployees", as Unisys calls them, are forcing IT departments to bend to the adoption of their devices of choice, and enthusiastic senior staff members are championing the adoption of iPad.
This isn't just happening within large companies either. Another one of Forresters insights was that many small business owners are also adopting iPad because they can use it for both personal and business use, and startups like Square have responded with tools to help them make their iPads into business tools.
But will other software companies and service providers be ready when iEmployees become the norm?
Mobile will become a deciding factor in vendor evaluation
The "consumerization of IT" doesn't just affect the IT departments of large companies – It affects every software and service provider in the enterprise space. As companies move to these mobile devices, they are going to expect the service providers they work with to meet them there, and this will become an increasingly large differentiator when companies are evaluating vendors.
Particularly in the field enablement space, SaaS companies are under pressure to take their product that has been trapped in desktop work stations and get it out into the warehouses, sales floors, distributions trucks and travel routes where it can be most useful.
When Markley Enterprises took their existing warehouse management system and starting using it on iPads rather than from a central work station, they found they were able to reduce the number of steps warehouse employees had to take by 30% and saved them a 1,000 hours a year in order entry time.
Old mobile vs. new mobile
Mobile isn't an entirely new concept for many of these enterprise SaaS companies – they've long used specialty rugged equipment, but industry surveys are showing that companies are increasingly unhappy with these devices. 22% of businesses in a 2011 IDC study that the present generation of tablets defined by Apple iPad, are more suitable to their needs rather than their present equipment, such as traditional tablet devices or vertical application devices.
Although the study doesn't dive deeply into why, a one reason may be the large ecosystem of apps that exist for these devices means that they can be used for multiple different purposes, including word processing or employee training.
The senior CEOs and VPs that are driving the adoption of iPad within their companies are the same one who will be making the company's purchasing decisions for software vendors – something important for SaaS companies to remember as they plan their 2012 mobile strategy.

Tops that suit: Ok, so being as your bottom is going to have some very loose fabric around it, if you want to retain your feminity and not look overweight - you need to make sure you wear the right top. Opt for more of a figure hugging top or at least something that shows your true shape. Longer tops are a definite NO NO. Sheer, fabrics are great too. If you're going for an edgy, funky look, you can wear a shirt tucked in, with a few of the top buttons undone. Crop tops are also HUGE this summer, it's all about the 80's influence, but if you don't want your stomach on full view, you can still get the stylish look by wearing a contrasting vest underneath or opting for high waisted trousers. Bustier/Boob-tube tops are also great with Hareems, they're undoubtedly figure flattering and feminine, so they will create a street chic look. Put a little waistcoat on to make it more interesting, or wear a pretty necklace if it looks bare. A tucked in Cami looks effortlessly chic and is great for work if the fabric is elegant. A plain ribbed vest is also fantastic for a neat, comfy daytime 'Jennifer Aniston' look.
On your feet: For a funky stye you can team your hareems up with a pair of brogues. Comfy daytime, go with pretty plimsoles or a pair of ballet flats. If you want to glam it up and turn a few heads, you can mix it up with a gorgeous pair of heels or wedges. If you're all about comfort and effortless style - wear a pair of flip-flops or sandals!
Here are a few little looks for inspiration but do search them out on the net to find your own:

Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Phase Diagrams And Transitions
Distillation requires which of the following?
Vaporization only
Either vaporization or condensation
Vaporization and condensation
Neither vaporization nor condensation
Condensation only
Vaporization and condensation
Distillation is the process by which liquids are purified of impurities. Distillation first requires vaporization of liquids to become pure gases. The gases are then cooled and turned back into pure liquids via condensation into a separate container. A good distillation will remove all impurities from the liquid. This is why distilled water is used for chemical solutions; it does not contain ions or other impurities that could interfere with reaction.
Example Question #1 : Help With Condensation And Vaporization
Which of the following occurs during vaporization?
Atoms get closer together and form a more rigid shape
Atoms disappear and are destroyed
Atoms become spaced further away from each other
Atoms become highly organized in patterns
Atoms become spaced further away from each other
Vaporization refers to the phase change from liquid to gas, also known as evaporation. When becoming a gas, atoms spread out and expand to fill whatever container they are in. Conservation of mass hold that atoms are never created nor destroyed. Atoms becoming more organized and forming a more rigid shape describes a phase change toward becoming solid.
