What is a Christian?
You can read the great explanation below or if you would like to talk to someone, please contact us.
Taken from Journey into Life by Norman Warren
is a
Are you a Christian?
I was brought up in a Christian home.
That doesn't make you a Christian.
My mother always went to church.
That doesn't make you a Christian.
I believe in doing good, helping others.
Quite right too, but so do most people. That doesn't make you a Christian.
I was baptised and confirmed.
So are thousands who care little about Christ. That doesn't make you a Christian.
I believe in God.
Most people say this, but that doesn't make you a Christian. Many people think they are Christians but rarely bother about Jesus Christ.
Well, what is a Christian, then?
Let's begin at the very beginning………..
In the beginning:
In the beginning when God made human beings, he made them perfect and good and sinless. He wanted us to be his friends and look after the earth. God did not make people robots or machines. He gave us a precious gift, free will, to choose between right and wrong, good and bad. He did not want to force us to love him. He wanted us to love him freely. But people chose to disobey God; they chose wrong. They preferred to please themselves rather than God. They sinned. And so sin entered into the world. It is a disease we all have, because "all have sinned" (Romans 3.23).
What sin is.. Evil, wrong and sin are there in the life of everyone born into the world. We see this in all the hatred and violence, greed and selfishness in the world. We see it as we look at our own lives, if we are really honest with ourselves. It is a part of our very nature. I sin when I come short of God's standard. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
You may think you are not so bad, better than most, but that's not the point, for not one of us has come anywhere near God's perfect standard - Jesus Christ. We can't even come up to our own standards. We may not have done anything especially wicked. We are sinners because we are just not good enough.
I sin when I do what I want. The Bible says, "Each of us has turned to his own way" (Isaiah 53:6).
Doing what I want; this is the cause of our trouble, unhappiness and quarrels.
Sin is not just killing, stealing, or telling lies. I sin when I live to please myself rather than God.
I sin when I can't be bothered with God or with other people; when I say, 'I'm my own boss; it's my life; I can do what I like with it' - this is SIN - I in the middle - me first.
I sin when I do not love God with all my heart. Jesus said, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment' (Matthew 22:37-38).
Not one of us has loved God like this. We have all broken the great commandment. We are all self-centred rather than God-centred.
What sin does
Sin spoils
Sin is like an ugly blot on a clean page. Being selfish, lazy, thoughtless, telling lies cheating, stealing, etc. ruins our character. Sin destroys the happiness of a home and friendship.
Sin spreads
Sin is like weeds in a garden; if not rooted out, they will soon overrun it. Little acts of dishonesty and disobedience soon become habits we cannot break.
Sin separates
Sin is like a thick cloud which blots out the sun. That is why God seems miles away. He is pure and holy. He hates sin. It blocks the way to him. Sin cuts you off from God in this life and in the life to come, Eternity.
What are you going to do about it? You cannot remove the barrier and you cannot save yourself. Trying to help others and doing good cannot remove this barrier either. If sin results in our being cut off from God, is there no hope for us? Has God washed his hands of us?
Why Christ Died
God is love. He proved his love for us, by sending Jesus into our world - fully human and fully God. 'God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life' (John 3:16). Jesus did not come just to show us what God is like and live a perfect life. He came to remove the barrier between us and God.
God's character is like a coin with two sides: justice and love. His justice rightly condemns us, for sin must be punished. His love makes him long for us to become his friends again. On the cross, his justice and his love were perfectly satisfied. Sin had to be punished, so God in his love sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place, bearing the death penalty we deserved.
That is why he cried from the cross, "My God, my God why have you forsaken me". The full punishment for our sin was taken by Jesus. As a man once put it, 'He carried the can for everybody.' Jesus suffered the agony of being filled up with our sin and being cut off from his Father for us.
Just before he died, Jesus said, 'It is finished!' This was not a cry of defeat, 'I've had it!' No, it was a cry of victory, 'I've done it! The debt of man's sin is paid.' The way back to God is now open.
His work, which can today save us from hell and eternal destruction was finished. The barrier of sin has been blasted away. Jesus died for us, his body was put in the tomb and a great stone pushed across the entrance. But he rose from the grave - he is alive. He won the victory over sin and death.
The way to God is now wide open.
Do you want to live an easy-going, 'do-as-you-like' life? Do you want to remain dissatisfied and only know the empty, passing pleasures of the world? Then don't read any further. Carry on just as you are; don't bother about Christ.
But please remember this: one day you will realise too late that you have missed the best in life, wasted your life and lost your own soul. To live without Christ is to die without him. To die without him is to spend eternity without him. But if you want a life that satisfies, that has purpose and meaning, a life that demands the very best in you (John 10:10) and, above all, a life that is pleasing to God - this is what God requires of you. Forgiveness and eternal life are not automatic; there is your part.
Your Part
Something to admit
That you have sinned in the sight of God. Be deeply sorry for your sin. Hate it and be willing (God give us the power) to turn from every thought, word, action and habit that you know to be wrong.
Something to believe
That Jesus Christ died on the cross bearing all the guilt and penalty of your sin.
Something to consider
That Jesus never promised it would be easy to follow him. Expect opposition, sneers and misunderstanding. Every part of your life, work, friendships, time, money, must all come under his control.
Something to do
Accept Jesus Christ into your life to be your Lord to control you, your Saviour to cleanse you, your Friend to guide and be with you.
So many miss this last step and thus never come to know Jesus Christ. Perhaps no verse in the Bible makes this last step clearer than Revelation 3:20. Jesus is speaking,
'Behold I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him....'
Jesus Christ waits outside the door of your life. He will not force his way in. He wants to be asked in. The handle is on the inside; only you can open the door. You become a true Christian when you open the door of your life to Jesus Christ and let him come in and live in your heart and life.
Have you ever taken this step? Perhaps you have never realised before that there was anything for you to do. You can be baptised, go to church, yes, even read the Bible and pray, and still leave Jesus Christ outside the door of your life. Face this question honestly.
Is Christ outside your life or inside? Will you let him in or keep him out? You cannot ignore Christ's invitation for ever. Time is fast running out.
Jesus once said; "What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul" Matt 16:26
So if you are ready thoughtfully to open the door of your life to Jesus Christ, then find a place where you can be quiet and alone.
Think of Christ's love for you: the cross, the shame and pain, his body nailed to the cross, his blood shed, all for you. Think of what he saves you from: eternal destruction, separation from God for ever, which is what hell is. Think of the shortness of this life: after death there will be no more opportunity to turn to Christ. It will be too late.
Think of Jesus Christ knocking now, asking to come into your life. You want him to come into your life, or perhaps you want to make sure he has come into your life. It might help you to say this prayer, phrase by phrase, quietly, thought- fully, thinking carefully what you are saying, and what you are doing.
Lord Jesus Christ, I know that I have sinned in my thoughts words and actions
There are so many good things I have not done. There are so many sinful things I have done.
I am sorry for my sins and turn from everything I know to be wrong.
You gave your life upon the cross for me.
Gratefully I give my life back to you.
Now I ask you to come into my life.
Come in as my Saviour to cleanse me.
Come in as my Lord to control me.
And I will serve and follow you all the remaining years of my life.
Christ in you
You have said this prayer and meant it. What you have said is a fact. You have asked Jesus Christ to come into your life and he has come. He now lives in your heart by his Holy Spirit.
Don't rely on your feelings; you may not feel a different at the moment. Trust his sure promises.
'If any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him....' (Revelation 3:20)
'He who believes has eternal life.' (John 6:47)
'I am with you always, to the close of the age.' (Matthew 28:20)
You are now a member of God's Kingdom, a child of God's family, part of his Body the Church - all who trust in Jesus, whatever their colour, background, or intellect.
The way ahead
You have begun the journey into life. You are now at the start of a new life. You have in Jesus Christ an all-powerful, ever present Friend and Captain, but in Satan a cunning and strong enemy. So you need to grow strong as a Christian. You need food, air and exercise.
The Bible is the Christian's food. It is a living book and through it God will speak to you. Read it every day if you can.
Prayer is the Christian's air. Talk to Jesus Christ naturally as to a close friend, yet respectfully remembering who he is. Spend time alone with him daily.
Join a local vibrant church as soon as you can.
Tell one other person within the next 24 hours what you have done, that you have surrendered your life to Christ. Don't be ashamed to be known as a Christian at work and at home.

There are several different types of compressor fittings in both National Pipe Taper (NPT) and metric sizes. There are also different styles of compressor fittings from straight and tee to elbow types. NPT compressor fittings are not sized according to the diameter of the fitting's opening. The sizing of these fittings refers instead to the taper rate of the threads. The sizes are based on an inch scale, with the size being represented as a fraction of an inch. There is no metric equivalent in this sizing style.
A few of the most common compressor fittings consist of the straight and elbow-type connectors. These compressor fittings are used in a variety of manners, from connecting an air hose to the compressor itself to attaching an air tool to an air line. Many times, the compressor fittings are a quick-release design, which allows an air hose to be connected to and disconnected from an air line in a matter of seconds. By utilizing a quick-detach style of compressor fitting, the air supply stored inside of the compressor's air tank can be saved rather than depleted whenever the air hose is removed from the air tank.
Some fittings are classified as high-flow fittings. These fittings are best when an activity, such as sanding a vehicle, is going to require a large quantity of air delivered at a steady rate of flow. Some fittings are known as swivel-type fittings and are used on air tools and other air attachments that might require the air feed line to be manipulated. Other fittings are designed specifically to attach water filters and oil separators to the output side of the air supply. These make it possible to spray paint without forcing water vapor or oil into the paint job.
On an air compressor that will not be used for painting, an automatic oilier can be a desirable attachment. This device mounts to a special fitting on the compressor and supplies a constant mist of oil into the airstream. This is used to extend the life of the air tools used with the air compressor. This also eliminates the requirement of oiling the air tools before and during each use. One of the most useful compressor fittings is a rotating fitting that allows an air hose to be wound up on a hose reel to be pulled out for use and rewound when not in use.

Lark Voorhies needs Zack Morris to step in and call a "time out," because her life is getting hectic, or continues to get hectic. The former Saved by the Bell star has admitted to a bout of clinical depression in the past and her mother has claimed that the actress is bipolar -a diagnosis that Lark has denied.
Last month Lark was facing threats of a sex-tape release by her ex-husband, and ex-gang member, Jimmy Green. Bossip reports there is no sex tape after Marky Hutt, a friend of the couple, admitted he came up with the plan to help Green get some money.
Earlier this week, Lark slammed her ex-husband on Instagram with this message:
"To whom this may concern. I am single! Jimmy couldn't fork up a dime for our divorce. There's an active restraining order that he continues to violate," she began her lengthy caption. "No sex tape even physically exists. Do you really think he could afford a camera? I gave him money multiple times and put minutes on his Obama phone."
She continued, "You better take a U-Turn on that bus. Everyone in Pasadena knows you're a joke. Gang Member? You lost your job at Taco Bell."

Time travel is possible—or at least a lot of serious physicists say so. It's probably not possible to pull it off in a souped-up Delorean, but there are wormholes, Tipler cylinders, and other Einstein-inspired theories for how it could work. Which raises the question: Why haven't we met any visitors from another time?
It sounds like a silly question, but it's one that many scientists actually take very seriously. Meeting someone from the future would, of course, serve as definitive proof that we can indeed travel through time, and that would be a quite a simple way to solve a huge scientific riddle. So it's no surprise that a handful of enthusiasts and experts have staged experiments in order to attract the time travelers that could be hiding among us.
One of them is Stephen Hawking. The renowned physicist totally believes time travel is a scientific possibility, and even says he knows how to build a time machine. He also famously wondered, "If time travel is possible, where are the tourists from the future?" It's a good question. Here's how we've tried to answer it.
Why we think time travel is possible
Time travel's been one of man's wildest fantasies for centuries. But in the last century scientists came up with theories that suggested it was indeed plausible to take a leap into the future. Going back in time, unfortunately, is much more complicated.
According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, a wormhole could act like a bridge through space-time by connecting two distant points with a shortcut. Certain types of wormholes, it's theorized, could allow for time travel in either direction, but there are several major caveats of traveling back in time. Mainly, the simple fact that we'd need a method for creating wormholes, and once created, the wormhole would only allow us to travel as far back as the point in time when it was created.
Another option for time travel involves a phenomenon called time dilation, also based on Einstein's theories of relativity. It refers to the idea that time passes more slowly for a moving clock than it does for a stationary clock. The force of gravity also effects the difference in elapsed time. Thanks to the space program, we've actually been dealing with this effect for many years. This is why the clocks on the International Space Station tick just a little bit more slowly than clocks on Earth do.
The implications of this are huge. What if you took this to the extreme? If you jumped in a spaceship that flew super fast, time would pass more quickly for people on Earth. You could do a lap around the galaxy and return to Earth in the future. The question is, how far can we take it? And is it possible to go backwards through time, too?
Once again, we don't really know. And we won't really know exactly how that works until we try it, and at the moment, we don't really have the means to do that. One easy way to find out is simply to search for time travelers walking amongst us. No laboratory required! And that's exactly what several zany scientists have done.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Walmart (Ravenna, OH (US)) in October 2011.
They called me asking me when I could come in for an interview and I came in and they asked me a bunch of work related situations and what I would do (very much like the questions on the online application) and why I think I would be a good fit at Walmart. Then they told me my tasks and if I could do them. After that there was a panel Interview were I was asked the same questions. after all that I was asked to have a background check and drug test to be performed.
Interview Questions
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walmart (Hugo, OK (US)) in June 2008.
It was a pretty typical interview with a Departmental Supervisor - questions about strengths and weaknesses, situational questions, etc. It wasn't real long - maybe 20-30 min. Afterwards, she left me in a waiting room for a few minutes and then told me that she would call me soon. Th next day, I had a phone call saying that I was hired as long as I passed my drug test.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Walmart (Margate, FL (US)).
You submit and application and assessment (a little tricky), you will be called for an interview.
Try to put as wide a radius in terms of what location you can work. Also put availability as always available.
Interview Questions
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Walmart (Redding, CA (US)).
I was a temp cashier. I was quickly rushed into connection center due to my experience with electronics and sales. The decision seemed made ahead of time. Other long-time electronics associates were kind of upset that this newbie was given the position they wanted. Despite this, it was part time with zero chance of ever becoming full time, regardless of what management says.
Interview Questions
No negotiation. Wage is determined by some kind of internal algorithm based on previous experience.

Listen to the broadcast below and then scroll down the page as we post updates to this page above the active links. Please suggest that your local radio stations either air this broadcast or contact Prof. Makhijani for further information and updates on the dangers from radioactivity at the Japanese nuclear plants. Arjun Makhijani is present of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research. He has a Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley, where he specialized in nuclear fusion. (Listen to part one of this series here, Michael Mariotte, Executive Director of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, Japan Goes Critical, Is it a Meltdown? What to do? What should we know?)

Dr. Arjun Makhijani, President of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research, and an engineer specializing in nuclear fusion. Arjun Makhijani is author of a study on energy conservation potential in the US economy. He is co author of the book, Carbon-Free and Nuclear-Free: A Roadmap for U.S. Energy Policy, where he discusses a US economy based on renewable energy without fossil fuels or nuclear power, and principle editor and author of Nuclear Wastelands, and Mending the Ozone Hole published by MIT Press. Arjun Makhijani: 301-270-5500 (office) or 301-509-6843 (cell) Tell stations to look for his information online at Post-Tsunami Situation at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan: Facts, Analysis, and Some Potential Outcomes
URGENT, PLEASE SHARE: Arjun Makhijani suggests America learn an immediate lesson from events in Japan. At all US nuclear sites, the storage polls should be moved. See below:Dr. Makhijani has called on Japanese authorities to tell the world if the spent fuel pool structure is intact at unit 1 OF THE Fukushima power plant. "While Japanese authorities have stated that the reactor vessel is still intact, there has been no word regarding the status of the spent fuel pool structure, except indirectly (see below) Is it still intact? This is a critical question as to the range of potential consequences of the reactor accident."
Update from Dr. Makhijani from early Mon. 3-14-2011: Post-Tsunami Situation at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan: Facts, Analysis, and Some Potential Outcomes: Unit 3, which also appears to have had similar problems as Unit 1, whose fuel includes mixed plutonium oxide uranium oxide fuel ("MOX fuel") first went critical in 1976. Both reactors are of the Mark 1 Boiling Water Design. They do not have the sturdy secondary containment buildings of concrete that is several feet thick typical of later reactor designs. (March 14, 6:30 a.m. note: Unit 3 has also experienced an explosion and Unit 2 appears to have lost cooling. The problems described here would likely apply to Unit 3; Unit 2 may be headed to similar problems.)
Updating concerns about the containment pool that were expressed in this broadcast, On 3-14-2011 he writes: An explosion associated with Unit 1 occurred on March 12, at 3:36 p.m. (TEPCO press release, March 13, 2011 of 9pm Japan time.) At first the authorities stated that this was in the turbine building next to the reactor building. However, it is the reactor building rook and part of the walls near the roof that were completely blown off leaving only a steel skeleton at the top of the building. This indicates an explosion inside the reactor building – probably a hydrogen explosion, since hydrogen is much lighter than air, it would accumulate near the top of the building. The explosion therefore seems to have occurred near the level where the spent fuel pool would be located in a Mark 1 reactor.
3-13-2011: 1:30 PM: Dr. Arjun Makhijani updates his concerns: "I am very concerned about the damage that the explosion did to the spent fuel pool where all of this highly radioactive used fuel is stored. And if that is uncovered and if there is steam around that, that can also generate hydrogen and that can in extreme circumstances also catch fire. So it's not clear to me that the radioactivity after the explosion was coming only from the reactor. I think it may have been coming from the spent fuel pool, and or, from the reactor. But because we can't inspect the insides now it's really impossible to tell and whether the spent fuel pool has been damaged, and whether there are cracks in the reactor, although the vessel is more or less intact, it's very hard to tell".
URGENT PLEASE SHARE WIDELY: The United States should move as much spent fuel out of the pools as possible into hardened and secure dry storage. The tragedy in Japan is also a reminder that making plutonium and fission products just to boil water
(which is what a nuclear reactor does) is not a prudent approach to electricity generation. While existing reactors will be needed to maintain the stability of electricity supply for some time (as is also evident from the earthquake-tsunami catastrophe in Japan), new reactor projects should be halted and existing reactors should be phased out along with coal and oil. It is possible to do so economically in the next few decades, while maintaining the reliability of the electricity system and greatly improving its security, as I have shown in my book Carbon-Free and Nuclear Free: A Roadmap for U.S. Energy Policy published in 2007, and in subsequent work that can be found on the IEER website, www.ieer.org. Carbon-Free and Nuclear-Free can be downloaded free here.

IAEA launches facebook page here
Workers have been scrambling to cool three reactors and there have been reports that one or more was semi critical or under going meltdown at various times during the weekend. A high alert is in place still for plants 1 and 3 but plant 2 is said to now be more stable. Workers are trying to find the source of radioactivity being detected there however, and Japanese are officials calling the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear plant instability, the worst crisis for Japan since WWII. We hear about the configurations of the plants, the kind of radioactivity they have, i.e., specifics of Plutonium and the dangers to people of Japan and other countries.

Core exposed, www.nirs.org FACT SHEET ON FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
UPDATE 2:30 pm, Sunday, March 13, 2011. Tokyo Electric Power is reporting that some six feet of the core of Unit-3 remains uncovered and has been for some time despite efforts to pump water into the core. Tepco speculates there may be leaking pipes and water is not remaining in the core. A translation of part of the statement from our Japanese colleagues: "The fuel's integrity has been considerably compromised. We are assessing a considerably serious situation." UPDATE, 1 pm, Sunday, March 13, 2011. The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that a first-level (lowest-level) emergency has been declared at the three-unit Onagawa nuclear station north of Fukushima. Immediately after Friday's earthquake a fire broke out at this facility, but it was said to have been extinguished fairly quickly. However, on Saturday, elevated radiation levels were measured at the Onagawa site (about 10 microSievert/hour or about 1 millirem/hour) for a few
hours. The emergency was declared due to these elevated levels, but utility officials say the reactors there are under control.

Together is finally getting a single release and to promote it, a stunningly beautiful video has been released (stunning except for the dead animals as clothing accessories bit which in all actuality just grosses us out). Together will be Patrick Wolf's fourth single taken from his Lupercalia album. We had recently featured an excellent remix by the always amazing Garcon Garcon, and have decided to include it here too. There's a lushness to Together and its video, with its vivid saturated pallet, kaleidiscope effects and message of hope, which remind us of James Bidgood by way of Sound of Arrows. Of course we are left simply mesmerized by it.

Golden Filter – Mother (Remixes)November 29, 2011
We featured Mother, one of 6 new songs from The Golden Filter that are in conjuction with Syndromes, a short feature by Norwegian director, Kristoffer Borgli a couple months back. Some great new remixes have surfaced in support of this song. We are particularly taken by the Cosmonaut remix. Also included are the Au Palais remix and original. It is worth revisiting.

Goldfrapp – Melancholy Sky (Live Performance)November 27, 2011
For those of us eagerly awaiting what direction the new Goldfrapp will sound like (their music changes dramatically with each album), we may have a preview of what's to come with Melancholy Sky, a new song the band recently performed at the Mencap Noise Session, in London. Melancholy Sky is a beautiful ballad that is miles away from the in-your-face, poptastic, Head First album and sees a return to the subtleties of previous album, Seventh Tree (It may be no coincidence that they have changed their profile pic to their Facebook Band Page to this album cover). It will be interesting to see what else they have in store since parting with EMI.
Space March – Space CowboyNovember 27, 2011
Space March is the indie-synthpop project of Australian songwriter and producer, Craig Simmons. The single, Space Cowboy is mixed by legendary producer Mark Saunders. This trippy video was shot in Mungo National Park in Australia by Alex Harris. We are totally taken in by Space March's insanely clever melodies and barebones synth hooks that seem so authentic, you may actually think it actually came from the 80s. We have also included the James Bond theme-sounding, Eye For An Eye and American Girl, both ripe for single releases.
Julian & Marina – Moon and the StarsNovember 27, 2011
Swedish synthpop artist Julian Brandt has teamed up with another chanteuse, this time with BWO member, Anna Marina Schiptjenko for Moon and the Stars, a kitschy synthpop track that is scheduled to be the lead single off of Brandt's sophomore release, News Travels Fast in Stockholm. Each of the ten tracks taken from this album will feature a guest vocalist. Julian Brandt is no stranger to duets, having worked with the likes of Paulinda Crescentini and Kitty on previous releases. We like to think of his dramatic and campy flaire as a Swedish counterpart to Marc Almond.
Starlings – Dark Arts (Video)November 27, 2011
We are so excited that after months of anticipation, Starlings, one of our favorite new bands, has released a video for Dark Arts. We are not sure what the video is all about, but we think it has something to do with the pain and emptiness that comes from the ending of a relationship with lead singer Justin Robson as some kind of ghost, watching over it. Confusing, but nonetheless, good stuff. We have also included the amazing remix by The Sanfernando Sound.
Freezepop – DoppelgangerNovember 27, 2011
Although Doppleganger, taken from the Freezepop album, Imaginary Friends, was released a year ago, a video has just been released to support it. This may have something to do with their recent win for best electronic artist at the Boston Music Awards. It's a fun video from a great band. Better late than never.

Wii U 'effectively' an Xbox 360, says Microsoft
Studios boss Phil Spencer says Nintendo's upcoming console is on-par with graphical capability of current gen, believes Pro Controller will lead to more Xbox 360 ports.
This holiday season, Nintendo will be the first of the Big Three to release next-generation hardware in the form of the Wii U. But according to comments from Microsoft's Phil Spencer to GamesIndustry International, the Wii U is only on par with current-generation consoles, like the Xbox 360.
"I think their Pro Controller makes a lot of sense with the platform they've built," he said. They are building a platform that is effectively a 360 when you think of graphical capability."
Nintendo announced the Wii U Pro Controller during a pre-E3 media event last month. This controller is similar in form factor to the Xbox 360's, which Spencer believes will make the Wii U a hotspot for Xbox 360 ports.
"Now they are really making an on-ramp for the back catalog of games that are on 360. It is easy for those games to move over to the Wii U. They've moved the buttons around, and they've made a controller that feels familiar for 360 gamers, so I get why they are putting those pieces together," he said.
This is not the first time it has been suggested that the Wii U will lag behind future consoles from Microsoft and Sony. Last month, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida said the Wii U was in a generation of its own. And before that, a GameSpot survey found that the next Xbox and PlayStation 4 already have a leg up on the Wii U.
The Wii U is due out worldwide this holiday season, but Nintendo has yet to announce a price or a release date for the console. Speculation regarding the platform's release window has ranged from November to December, and Nintendo has promised a "reasonable" price for the console.

Have you let public opinions steal your next big thing? Have you let fear of_____________rob you of the next step?
Listen you will never escape the opinions of others. When I was growing up the elders would say "opinions are like ***holes………EVERYONE HAS ONE" and the look on their face, was one that drove that message HOME! If you want to accomplish anything in LIFE you'll have to get over folks and what they think about WHATEVER. Please realize sometimes people only talk because they lack the COURAGE to do what you are doing or going to do.
I believe sometimes we share our dreams to fast and sometimes with the wrong people. We want them to give us permission to do those things that WE KNOW WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE DOING. We don't want to risk looking stupid and God forbid we FAIL, so we just sit still.
The problem with sitting still and not trying to go for your DREAM is you become bitter and critical of others Pursuing their DREAM.
You may be referred to as a HATER! Uh-Oh Side note: You are not hating on them, you are REALLY HATING YOU because you lack the courage to do what's in your heart.
Don't let the bigness of someone else's dream stop you, remember they to had to BEGIN. If fact you need to find someone near or far, up-close or untouchable and search the "how" they did it………you'll be surprised by what they had to go thru………..TO GET IT DONE………..PLEASE TAKE ON STEP. WRITE DOWN ONE DREAM. PURSUE ONE PERSON THAT WILL BRING YOU CLOSER TO GIVING BIRTH TO THAT DREAM.
IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS GROWING ON THE INSIDE OF YOU AND YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE WHISPERS OF IT CALLING YOU ……………….DO IT! Don't let anything or anyone stop you…….DO IT! GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY……….DO IT! START WHERE YOU ARE……DO IT!
Because you my friend just may be OVERDUE!!

Let's face it, this is no longer a game for men only.
Bold women step out everyday into the world of entrepreneurship. The likes of Kathy Ireland. Sara Blakely. Arianna Huffington.
And Joy Taylor, Kelsey Ramsden and Lisa Williams are three such woman.
As members of the 2013 EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women, they collectively run companies banking over $70M in annual revenue.
Interviewed in front of the startup entrepreneurs of Mighty Wise Academy, they provide valuable tips on how they did it:
1. Entrepreneurship Equals Freedom
First, why step out? Why leave cushy jobs to pursue the unknown? Because deep inside entrepreneurs want more. A bigger life. More fulfillment. Freedom. Academy member Edelweiss Harrison asked Taylor, Co-Founder and CEO of Taygan Point Consulting Group, what was most satisfying about entrepreneurship: "The freedom. At 3:55pm Mon, Wed and Friday I change into my workout clothes with my team and go workout. I attend every parent-teacher conference. I do these things because I can. I'm an entrepreneur."
2. Fear Kills Opportunities
Richard Branson said: "Opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming." But the flipside problem is entrepreneurs firmly planted with their butts on the bus bench never making a move. Resources wasted. Connections lost. All due to fear. Williams, Founder and CEO of World of EPI, says: "My friends and family thought I lost my mind. But what drives me is the fear of living small. If I allow fear to hold me back, then I'm living small." Taylor adds: "Entrepreneurs miss out on so many opportunities because they are afraid it will fail. That it will embarrass. That it will look awkward. But what's the worst thing that can happen? You may have a fear of snakes, but the truth is they're more afraid of you."
3. Value Of Mentorship
Like a loud clanging cymbal are the plethora of articles touting the benefits of advisors, mentors and coaches. But ask ten struggling entrepreneurs whether they have an advisory network in place -- eight will tell you no. When entrepreneurs struggle with loneliness and uncertainty, Ramsden, Founder of four businesses, feels the structure of mentorship is of "paramount importance." Williams says "building an advisor network is a must." And Taylor calls mentorship "life changing." And she should know. She failed in her first attempt in business at age 21 because she "did not do the research, seek guidance or ask for assistance." Mentorship is key. Do you have it?
4. You Cannot Do Everything
One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make deals with their attempt to do everything. Giving away too much free help. Tackling too many projects. Akin to chasing rabbits or cats in circles, you don't end up with much accomplished. Taylor calls it knowing the 'size of your plate'. "Most entrepreneurs are comfortable operating with a dinner or salad size plate. Sadly, those same people overcommit into a serving platter of things to do. Being overwhelmed means many things are getting done poorly, so it's really important to put some boundaries in place because you cannot do everything, nor should you."
5. The Dark Side Of Entrepreneurship
CEO and Co-Founder of Infusionsoft Clate Mask calls it the dark side of entrepreneurship. Loneliness. Isolation. Depression. Any entrepreneur who tells you they've never felt any of these is lying to you. It's just part of the gig. Comes with the territory. Williams shared what it was like after plunging her company four years ago into bankruptcy: "I fell into a depression. I didn't know what I was doing. I had a good job. I had income. But I gave it all up to try this. And now I've failed. I am not an entrepreneur. I can't do it. I'm a failure. Life is over." So how to deal with the dark side? Taylor suggests this: "Because being alone as an entrepreneur is a very daunting task, you need to reach out to other entrepreneur friends. Invite them to lunch. Call them on the phone. Ask for help. Ask to talk over coffee. Do you need motivation? Do you need an idea? Are you struggling to find the right word? Ask."
Five bold tips you can act on today to move forward in your business.

With 1 flight in 65 secs, Mumbai busiest single-runway airport
he GVK group-run Mumbai airport has become the world's busiest amongst the single-runway facilities by handling 837 flights a day or one in 65 seconds on an average in fiscal 2017, taking over London's Gatwick airport that had 757 flights a day. In terms of the number of passengers also, the city airport tops with 45.2 million people flying in and out in fiscal 2017 as against 44 million at Gatwick airport. Notably, no other large city in the world is served by one airport, that too with a single-runway. Besides, illegal squatters occupy nearly one-third of the airport land. The second airport proposed in Navi Mumbai is yet to come up. All the leading cities like New York, London, Dubai, and Singapore have more than one airports with multiple runways. The New Delhi airport has three parallel runways in use at any given time. As against this, Mumbai has to make do with a single runway (09/27) for all passenger and cargo aircraft and when it is shut for repairs, it uses the secondary runway (1432). In terms of aircraft movement in a day, the city airport had one plane take-off or landing in 65 seconds, which means it handled on an average 48 flights, peaking at even 52 movements at times, making it the busiest in the world on both the counts, an airport spokesperson said. There are days when the number crosses even 900 movements a day, she said. "Currently, work is on to connect the taxiway to runway 27 which can provide the much-required additional holding area for aircraft ready to take off on the main runway," the spokesperson added.

Police have issued a stark warning over giving toy guns to children - after the discovery of a highly realistic fake in bushes.
The discovery was made in Lurgan last week but moved police to post images of a real gun and a fake with the question: "Someone points one of these at you. It's decision time. Tick tock. By the time you've read this far that time is up. Which one's real? Which one's fake?"
They went on to point out: "If you worked in a shop, and either of these were pointed at you, what would you do? Take a risk? Hand money over?
"What if you were a responding police officer? Would you even let it get to the stage of it being pointed at you or not? I know I wouldn't.
"This is why children's toy guns should NEVER be realistic looking. If they fall into the wrong hands their use can be - and indeed frequently is - criminal. "The results of that can be deadly."
In question to the public they said: "One of the weapons in this picture was found in bushes in Clara Street, Lurgan on Friday. It's fake. The other is real.
"Can you tell which side on picture and which barrel picture is real?
"Parents, get rid of any realistic gun 'toys'. The toy here was left lying. It could have ended in so many worse ways. It's never worth the risk."
Answer to the question is the left side photos are of the fake one police found. The right is a real weapon.

In 2013, coastal saltmarsh was recognised as a nationally-threatened vegetation community under the federal Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999). Northern Tasmania boasts significant areas of coastal saltmarsh, often associated with estuaries and coastal wetlands and ranging in size from less than 1 hectare to over 60 hectares. The plant species within coastal saltmarsh vary greatly and include herbland, rushes, sedges and grasses, and characteristic chenopod shrubs. Although important for stimulating the productivity of estuaries and wetlands through nutrient cycling, and being better at sequestering carbon than equivalent forested areas, saltmarshes are often overlooked for their value and contribution to commercial, recreational and biodiversity outcomes.
Threats to saltmarsh include:
- direct damage (stock trampling, vehicles),
- altered hydrology (drainage, barrages),
- sea level rise (combined with limited retreat options),
- inappropriate fire regimes,
- pollution (including nutrients),
- weeds and
- soil disturbance (especially acid sulfate soils and spoil dumping).
NRM North has partnered with UTAS to undertake the following as part of the coastal saltmarsh protection project:
- Coastal saltmarsh mapping
- A mapping report accompanying the mapped layer explaining characteristics attributed to each saltmarsh location
- 'An Atlas of Coastal Saltmarsh Wetlands in Northern Tasmania'
- A number of interpretive panels designed for communication materials, including signage
- A community-based saltmarsh monitoring guide
- 'A Guide to the Plants of Tasmanian Saltmarsh Wetlands'
- A Tasmanian Saltmarsh Wetland Plants Checklist
- A Tasmanian Saltmarsh Wetland Birds Checklist
- A Tasmanian Saltmarsh Human Impacts Checklist
- A Tasmanian Saltmarsh Wetland Birds Poster
- Saltmarsh App
Some of these materials are yet to be released.
How you can get involved:
NRM North coordinates saltmarsh surveys at several locations across northern Tasmania and is seeking individuals and community groups keen to be involved. These surveys are part of an ongoing project to map and monitor Tasmanian saltmarsh habitats and their bird and plant inhabitants. No expertise is required and all training and survey materials are provided. Contact us if you would like to find out more or become involved.
In addition to this, NRM North is seeking to undertake on-ground works to directly protect and rehabilitate coastal saltmarsh within the Northern Region, on both private and public land. If you think you have coastal saltmarsh on your property, or are concerned about your local saltmarsh, please contact NRM North to discuss what options may be available.

Soup. It's magical, isn't it? While it bubbles and simmers and infuses with any of a host of lovely flavours, the anticipation has the power to transform a stressed out heart into one that is pretty darned psyched about what's to come. I know it isn't just me. How could anyone remain unmoved in the presence of so many tasty options?
In the wide, wonderful soup world, I tend to gravitate toward the ones filled with goodies… I want some interest, some texture, something on which to chew proverbially and literally. I have quite a few great, last-minute recipes (see here, here, and here, or my recipe index) , but from time to time, I want an old-school, all-day, boy-was-that-worth-it soup. Mexican Chicken Soup {Caldo de Pollo} is just such a soup.
I'm going to tell you straight up; this is going to take a commitment of time. It's not difficult, it's not complicated, it isn't fraught with timing issues, and it doesn't require babysitting; it's just slow. Isn't that nice somehow, though? You toss goodies in a pot and let it simmer and develop itself into something that transcends all of its individual components. It's the culinary equivalent of your mom shoving you into a chair, pulling a blanket up under your chin, and telling you to relax while she takes care of things. It'snot that you napped or your mom washed your dishes or walked the baby or swept your floor or put away your laundry, it's that you had room to breathe and a better place in which to stand up after resting. Not that I'm advocating standing in soup. Lousy analogy for a mom who's helping their kid study for the SATs, but do you see what I mean? It's all love!
The beauty of Mexican Chicken Soup -much like my beloved Pho- shines in the melt-in-your-mouth tender vegetables and chicken falling apart in flavourful, hot broth, and the fresh crunch and vibrant flavours of the herb and jalapeno garnishes. It manages to be hot and comforting and fresh and WOW all at the same time. There aren't a lot of foods that can hit those notes all at the same time.
Mexican Chicken Soup is made in two stages. Making the broth is Stage 1 and the soup is Stage 2.
Cook's Notes
- You can use a stockpot, countertop roaster pan, or slow-cooker to make the broth in Stage 1. I often use my countertop roaster because I can do a double batch and we love this soup enough to want a double batch!
- Some things from Stage 1 don't make it into the final soup. For example, carrots, onions, and jalapenos cook in the broth -imparting depth of flavour and colour to it- but they're not much good for nibbling on after simmering for a few hours. The dogs, chickens, ducks, and guinea fowl benefit from the super soft simmered vegetables. No critters hanging around your home? No problem! Compost that veg!
- Skimming fat from the broth is easiest when you let it sit, covered, in the refrigerator overnight. The fat rises to the top and solidifies making it FAR easier to remove. If you're in a hurry, though, you can let the broth sit, undisturbed, in a large bowl or pitcher for a half an hour or so and use a spoon or ladle to remove as much fat as possible.
- Let the chicken cool in a bowl while you begin Stage 2; the amount of time it takes the second addition of vegetables to become tender in the broth should give you more than enough time to pull the cooked chicken from the bones and shred or chop as necessary. In that time, you'll also be able to prepare the various fresh garnishes.
- Speaking of garnishes, I feel obliged to mention that squeezing the lime juice over the chopped onion has a dual purpose. 1) It lends flavour, but just as importantly, we have the fact that 2) the acidity of the lime diminishes the raw bite of the onion. I don't advise skipping this step!
- Avocados are strictly optional, but undeniably tasty as a garnish. Go Team Avocado!
- Yes, there is lime in the cilantro and onion garnish, but I wouldn't leave off the extra wedges of lime for all the world. A wedge of lime in each bowl of soup really makes all of the flavours you worked so hard to develop POP!
- Also optional but lovely are the slices of fresh jalapeno. This is a non-negotiable addition when our household is passing around head colds like politicians do with blame.
- Some folks like to serve this over hot, cooked rice and I certainly wouldn't push away a bowl of it on rice, but I like this particular soup just like it is!

- Optional but tasty: 2 dried chile peppers guajillo or ancho, preferably, wiped clean with a damp cloth
For the Soup:
- 1 batch of the broth strained of the solids
- 3 Yukon gold potatoes scrubbed and diced into 1/4-inch cubes
- 2 or 3 carrots scrubbed and diced into 1/4-inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- meat from the chicken that simmered in the broth
- additional kosher salt to taste
For the Garnish:
- 1 large sweet onion or mild white onion peeled and diced into 1/8 to 1/4-inch cubes
- 3 limes separated: 2 juiced and one sliced into wedges
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 handful cilantro leaves coarsely chopped
- 1 fresh jalapeno scrubbed and thinly sliced into rounds
- 1 ripe avocado halved, pitted, and cubed
To Make the Broth:
- Add all of the broth ingredients to a large stockpot, countertop roaster oven, or slow-cooker. Cover by 1-inch of water. Cook over a low heat for 8 hours, or until the chicken is so tender it falls apart easily. Use a slotted spoon and tongs to fish out all of the solids and put them in a bowl. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve or a cheesecloth lined colander. Let the broth rest in a pitcher or bowl in an ice bath long enough for the fat to separate. At that point, you can skim off the fat and proceed to making the soup, or cover the broth and refrigerate overnight, making the fat solidify for easier removal. Discard the vegetables that simmered in the stock and reserve the chicken.
To Make the Soup:
- Add the broth, diced potatoes and carrots, and salt to a large stockpot or soup pan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until the potatoes and carrots are tender, about 20 minutes. While the vegetables simmer, pull the broth chicken from the bones, discarding the skin and bones. Shred or chop the chicken into bite sized pieces and add it to the broth to heat through. Taste the mixture all together and add more salt to taste. I often add another 2 teaspoons.
To Make the Cilantro Onion Garnish:
- Toss the juice of two limes and the teaspoon of kosher salt with the chopped onion. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then toss in the chopped cilantro leaves.
To Serve the Soup:
- Ladle the finished soup into individual serving bowls. Pass the garnishes at the table. We serve each bowl with a scoop of the Cilantro Onion Garnish, two or three jalapeno rings, a lime wedge, and a few cubes of avocado.

Almost 17 million Brits have less than £100 stashed away in savings, according to This is Money. For a lot of us, it's getting started with saving up and sticking to it, as opposed to having no money to save. It does also depend on where you are in life – a huge 3.5 million of us have no assets and little to no savings. Even if you are one of the 3.5 million, you might experience an unexpected windfall in cash whether it's from prize money or an inherited sum. No matter whether you're just starting out on the road to saving or you have a significant amount of cash, here are some of the best options for your savings.
Bank and building society savings
Ideal for short-term savings and long-term savings, banks and building society savings accounts give easy access to your savings and are great for saving up for holidays, Christmas, birthdays and the deposit for a mortgage. Interest rates are usually pretty good, but vary bank to bank (from 2.5% to a huge 5% per annum). If you fancy a change from your regular bank, you can nip down to your local Post Office and open up a National Savings and Investment account.
Individual Savings Account (ISA)
You've most probably heard of an ISA – a tax-free place to keep your savings. At the moment, the tax-free allowance is £15,240 but it's set to increase to £20,000 after April this year! Almost anyone can get an ISA – as long as you're over 16 and a UK resident. Junior ISAs are also available for anyone under 18. An ISA is better for mid or long-term savings of a year or more to get the full advantage out of it. It's not one for those of you who fancy a high-interest rate – ISAs have an interest rate varying anywhere between 0.8% and 1.65%.
Lifetime ISA
First-time buyer? You've probably heard of a regular Individual Savings Account (ISA), which is open to people from all walks of life. But the Lifetime ISA is a new initiative for savers aged under 40 looking to get onto the property ladder or build up retirement savings. The government will give you £1 for every £4 saved, up to £1000 per tax year. But there's just one catch – if you withdraw the money before you turn 60 and you don't use it for your first home, you'll have to pay a 5% penalty and pay back the government bonus and interest earned on the bonus. This is a great opportunity for first-time buyers, but one to avoid for short-term savers.
Personal Savings Allowance
Those of you looking to save in the long-term should look for a high-interest rate for your savings. The Personal Savings Allowance (PSA) launched last year is perfect for regular taxpayers to start saving aside a small nest egg. You can earn up to £1,000 tax-free interest and it really does add up no matter whether you're saving long-term or short-term.
Peer-to-peer lending
Did you know? You can invest your savings in peer-to-peer lending companies. It's called an Innovative Finance ISA and can reap fantastic interest rates, but also comes with a risk of losing your money. It's a novel way to keep your savings locked away, but it's probably not one for the faint-hearted.
Credit Unions
Credit unions are one of the best options for your savings if you can only afford a small amount per month. It's a fantastic first step for those of you who haven't saved properly before. They're run by cooperatives made up of local people, so there's a real individual community spirit around saving. Find your local Credit Union here!
Stocks and shares
Stock markets are, of course, very risky but it can give you huge rewards if you're feeling daring. Some people use it as a long-term savings tool. Your money isn't as accessible so it isn't great for people who want to use their savings as an emergency fund. But if you feel stocks and shares are the way to go for your savings, then you'll want to take a look at the FTSE100 (a list of the UK's top 100 companies) and buy shares. The company uses your share as an investment and, if it does well, you'll get generous profits.
Hiding it under your mattress
Under the mattress, in the freezer, in fake baked beans can – some people really do stash their cash at home. But it's highly prone to theft, fire, water damage and a lot more. So don't literally sleep on your money – start taking advantage of savings accounts and investments!

24 June (Part 9) - Definitely not saved by the BELL
Before the BELL story began to get really interesting
anonymous emails were arriving from what I thought might be a family member and someone else, maybe a worker at the home where
Mrs. Baker lived - or should I say died?
Then came the first email that required no guesswork. It is reproduced below because it sheds light on the problems an important witness alleges he faced. The more that is known about the case, the easier it may be to understand it.
I am concerned that the death of a Bexley Emergency Linkline customer due to her emergency call being unanswered because only one member of staff was on duty at the time, seems to have been forgotten.
It has not made the press despite being of high public interest. Mrs. Barbara Baker died 6/4/2012 and there followed a police investigation. All BELL staff were told by managers to keep it quiet. All questions about it were met with "we can't comment due to a Police investigation".
I worked at BELL for about seven years before I was sacked for swearing after being abused and sworn at over those years.
When I started at BELL there were insufficient records of where in the field alarm units were, how old the units were and whether they were due for renewal. I discovered that Bexley BELL was installing units already out of date, the existing staff did not understand the need for renewing the standby batteries and when I explained the seriousness of the situation I was disciplined.
Every time I brought something up about failures and shortcomings in the system I was disciplined. After Mrs. Baker's death I reminded management that I had previously warned A.M. [name deleted] that we should have two on duty at all times in case someone was indisposed when a call came in.
After this I was constantly baited and provoked and abused by some of the more senior staff. It was during a verbal bombardment by a colleague that I let the swear word out that I eventually got sacked for. I believe there was a cover up and the true reason for my dismissal was because I knew too much and didn't want to turn a blind eye.
The report bore uncanny similarities to another email received about the same time…
There are so many outrageous reports of Bexley council's scandalous behaviour towards residents and their own staff. I know and have known so many people who [work] for Bexley who are disgusted at some of these scandals. I know there is a lot of talk and unrest in some depts.
And today I have been to see the concerned ex-BELL employee.
He makes a good case and has retained a lot of documents but as he said in his email, he was on the face of it, not sacked for reasons directly connected to the neglect of Mrs. Baker. That would have been altogether too blatant. However the documents which I have on loan do not confirm the sacking was for uttering a single swear word - despite "arsehole" appearing in the documents - but for something very different.
Maybe I should leave this until I have more time - which probably won't be tomorrow. Tuesdays are not my favourite day for blogging. Other things must be done.

The bad news first for the Boston Bruins: Their goaltender has played two horrid games. The good news? The boys from Beantown lost only one of those contests.
The bad news first for the Tampa Bay Lightning: They lost Tuesday night in New England, failing to get a 2-0 series lead and come home to the Sunshine State with a hammer-lock grip on a playoff series. The good news? This very much looks like the Bolts' series to lose.
A distinct mélange of interlocking tensions and competing factors is at work after the first two games of the Eastern Conference finals. Boston scored a must-have victory over Tampa Bay at TD Garden, but this was not the kind of convincing conquest which suggests that the winning team owns a full head of steam heading to Florida for Games 3 and 4. In many ways, the most outstanding feature of this game was not Boston's five-goal second period, which just barely held up, but the way Tampa Bay controlled the third period and very nearly forced overtime in a game that had a 1980s feel to it.
Yes, when Boston's Michael Ryder scored two goals in the final four minutes of the second period, with the back end of that 1-2 punch coming with 19 seconds left before the intermission, it seemed that the Lightning were done and dusted. Down 6-3, the Lightning only had 20 minutes to make up their deficit, not 40. Considering the urgency on the Boston bench and the fact that this was a road game for the fifth-seeded Lightning, the prospects of forcing overtime were slim to none.
Yet, the Bolts almost caught… well… Lightning in a bottle.

As the third period unfolded, every loose puck seemingly went to a white-shirted Tampa Bay player, and even on the few occasions when a black-shirted Bruin gained the puck, the Lightning were able to poke-check the frozen rubber into open ice and reclaim it for a counter-rush. Several times, the Bruins should have been able to clear their own zone while the Lightning exerted pressure, but Boston simply couldn't maintain control of the puck for the extra two or three seconds needed to extricate the puck from a dangerous position. Tampa Bay's continuous ability to harass Boston's puckhandlers gained the Lightning at least seven extra shots in the third period. The visitors peppered Boston goalie Tim Thomas, and the 37-year-old sagged under the assault. Thomas, who was awful in Game 1 on Saturday, wasn't much better in this game. He allowed two third-period goals to Tampa, one from Steven Stamkos at 3:47 and the other to Dominic Moore at 13:15. Boston, once in control, was knocked off its heels for all of the last 20 minutes, and it was only because Thomas regrouped at crunch time that the Bs made their six-goal outpouring stand up.
Tyler Seguin scored two goals and assisted on two more for the Bruins, who discovered ways to outfox Tampa Bay goalie Dwayne Roloson, who was pulled after the second period on Tuesday. Boston's superior performance in the middle period was enough to overcome a wobbly first period (in which Tampa Bay outscored the Bs by a 2-1 count) and that lifeless third period in which the Bolts almost pulled off a tying three-goal rally.
It's on to Game 3. Will Tampa restore order, or can Boston finally get the quality goaltending that's been missing through the first two games of the Eastern Conference finals?

India presents many views. Some see a nation of diverse people born out of the crucible of colonialism. To others, India is the largest democracy in the world and the greatest friend America has, a natural barrier to the dominance of Islam in South Asia. Scholars and poets see a civilization rich in history, culture and architecture. A true melding of East and West with an educated and skilled populace. Waves of invaders have clashed across its northern borders. The most recent one was China seeking to expand southward in the 1960s. I was in New Delhi when the Indian Army fought the invasion to a border stalemate in the mountain passes.
I had just finished my master's degree in South Asian Studies at Duke University and was fortunate to win a grant to study in India. Although I attended The Indian School of International Studies at Sapru House on Barakumba Road in New Delhi. I did not enroll in any program of studies. My program was to see India, the people and the land. My master's thesis was entitled, The Congress Party, Linguistic Policies, and Indian Unity. (Through the decades it has gathered the dust of neglect.)
We, my wife and two-year-old son, spent a few weeks in the Jan Path Hotel before renting a small bungalow in Defence Colony in New Delhi. The next two years were happily spent traveling around Northern India from Jaipur to Lucknow, to the Taj Mahal, Dharmsala, and Srinagar. With the exception of Srinagar, the trips were all made in our Hindustani, the car that wouldn't give up. Though I didn't know it at the time I was picking up the knowledge and experience to write novels. Fifty years later, my first novel, Justice Beyond Law, was published. Much of this book features action in New Delhi and Kathmandu. I think some of the best scenes were describing a boat trip up the Narayani River to the Trisuli River and the overland trek up the Trisuli to Kathmandu. During a long drive down the Grand Trunk Road on the trip from Raxaul Bazaar to New Delhi, the musing of my female heroine about her feelings as the night and aura of previous travelers of the Grand Trunk wafted around the car … (Oops almost too much. I don't want to spoil the story.) There is an allure and beauty to India that you will never find in China.

The Runecrafting staff is an item sold at the Runecrafting Guild by Wizard Elriss for 10,000 Runecrafting guild tokens. Its primary use is to be combined with any talisman to be made into their respective Talisman staves (i.e. Fire talisman staff for Fire talisman).
These talisman staves may be used to access the particular altars they represent. These talisman staves have similar characteristics to tiaras and talismans as they allow access to Runecrafting altars. Jagex also said that the staff can also be used for "distracting the eyes in the Abyss Altar to help you sneak past".
Practically, this staff (Runecrafting staff) is only useful for members, as it can be combined with an Omni-talisman to create a Omni-talisman staff. The Omni-talisman staff allows access to all of the altars besides the Law altar. For non-members, access to this feature may be replaced by using tiaras, which are much easier to obtain and are tradeable.
Some members choose not to buy this staff because of its high cost. With the same amount of tokens, members can get 10,000 Pure essence which are worth 126 coins each. Therefore, the market price of the Runecrafting staff is equivalent to a whopping 1,260,000 coins plus the cost of the attached talisman.
