The 2013 American Library Association Conference is in full swing and genealogy is a hot topic among reference librarians who want to improve their ability to help library patrons. Proof of this can be seen in one of the pre-conferences being offered on Friday, "Behind the Genealogy Reference Desk: Chicago Style Genealogy"
The program features a terrific line-up of topics and speakers (including Matt Rutherford, MLIS, Curator of Genealogy and Local History at the Newberry):
"ChicagoAncestors.org - Discover the Past by Address," by Matt Rutherford, MLIS. ChicagoAncestors.org is a Newberry project which uses Google Maps to help genealogists and local historians discover and share historical information about Chicago.
"And the Rockets' Red Glare: Sources for War of 1812 Research," Curt B. Witcher, FUGA, FIGS. This presentation will cover both popular and lesser known sources for War of 1812 research, including a close-up look at the War of 1812 pensions being digitized through the FGS Preserve the Pensions initiative.
"Genealogical Education Opportunities," Elissa Scalise Powell, CG, CGL. Genealogy patron questions are rising. Educate yourself through this interactive workshop to evaluate which learning opportunities are best for your own needs and budget.
"OCLC WorldCat and FamilySearch," Chip Nilges and Michael J. Hall. Learn how the recent partnership can enhance the research experience from the beginner to the expert.
"Beginning African American Research," Sandy Joseph. Discover the many African American resources that are available to you and your patrons.
This is an exciting opportunity for librarians from all over to share their passion for genealogy and for assisting other researchers.

Heather Dubrow says her husband has performed surgery on her
. Do you think a doctor should perform surgery on family members?
I don't see a problem with it. I work in healthcare, fwiw.ReplyCancel
why not?
murder or "botched" surgery. a family member would be too invested emoionally.ReplyCancel
Uh, NO. Reputable hospitals do not allow family members to perform procedures on other family members.
But it's Hollyweird, where the Sweet 16 birthday gift is either a new nose or new boobs. I'm just glad I got the down payment for used Mustang.ReplyCancel
theoretically, they care the most to do the best jobReplyCancel
Cosmetic surgeons often perform procedures in their own office/medical suites. I don't think repairing your child's mitral valve is a great idea, but I don't have a problem with cosmetic procedures. There's a huge difference.ReplyCancel
im talking simple plastic surgery… not brain surgery or suchReplyCancel
what if a doctor is "kinda" "tired" of his wife?
thats what im talking about. too close.ReplyCancel
yeah,what Kno Won Uno says, that's what I meanReplyCancel
No reputable doctor would do that. If something goes wrong during surgery, you're not thinking clearly.ReplyCancel
Unless it's a life or death situation I would say no. There's a reason why you aren't suppose to do it now. If it's something that can be done in the office (like Botox or setting a broken bone that probably would be cool. That's a slippery slope but I can see the pros and cons.ReplyCancel
I wish I was married to a plastic surgeon! I'd never have to wait months in between my filler appts and Botox ain't cheap! LolReplyCancel
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! It is completely WRONG and usually there are rules strictly banning it in practices and hospitals.ReplyCancel
If it's an outpatient minor surgery I don't see a problem with it. If it's something serious like a heart surgery, brain surgery, ect.. then no. That should be done by someone who's not emotionally invested in the patient. They wouldn't be able to concentrate enough to get the job done right and safely.
As long as you and your SO are in good shape emotionally I don't see anything wrong with them doing plastic surgery. If you're fighting stay the hell away because revenge is a bitch and that surgery could get botched on "accident".ReplyCancel
It's probably been minor in office things he's done on her.ReplyCancel
I assume operating on family members probably cuts down on malpractice suits/claims.ReplyCancel
I'm stunned at how many of you would have no problem with this. No…just no!!ReplyCancel
I hope that ban on family members doing their job for another family members gets extended. I'm tired of doing the same to my family as in the job I hate that much (I'm not an MD, btw).ReplyCancel
I was always fairly certain that this was always 100% illegal due to common ethics codes, the Hypocratic Oath and malpractice insurance regulations.
I mean, imagine how emotional it must be to treat a family member medically. That added pressure alone would make things increasingly more dangerous for the patient and put the practitioner at an increased risk for making errors. Then add to that increased possibility that something DOES goes wrong what would happen in the aftermath: I mean, a wife/husband can't exactly sue her doctor spouse for malpractice while they are still married. And think of the possibilities for insurance scams that could come out of that very circumstance!
But then, maybe the rules are different for elective surgery versus say, oncology. But idk; I'd sincerely hope this would be a common major "no no" across the board.ReplyCancel
Wasn't there a lb about actress busted at airport with syringes / Botox ??
What about those women that have gone to people's homes of suppoed Drs and later find TBEY were filled with some kind of tire filler. Lol. ( who goes there anyway?)
Or for 17th birthday u get a cake shaped like a dong.
That's Klass!
My initial reaction is is has to be unethical or a potential minefield of the family relations kind but what if your relative is one of the best in a particular field of medicine and both parties are otherwise OK with it?
What if the relative only does the surgery itself but the pre op and post op has to be another doctor involved and really if the relative is a surgeon other people are doing the pre op and post op.ReplyCancel

My week at Kamp Kiwanis was great! My friends and I enjoyed so many fun activities like arts and crafts, boating, nature, archery, swimming, singing camp songs, and banana boating. My favorite activities were probably boating, archery, and banana boating. It's hard to choose which activities were my favorites because I enjoyed them all.
The session I signed up for at camp was called Night Owls. We got to stay up later than all of the other campers doing fun night activities. We went night swimming, hiking in the dark, and stargazing. I really liked going night swimming. It was great!
While at camp, my group completed some badge work. We worked on the Cadette Girl Scout Way badge. One of the requirements was to throw a party for an adult Girl Scout volunteer. We worked hard to throw a surprise party for Bossy, the camp director. It was really fun! We planned activities for all of the other girls to do and even baked cookies. The party was awesome!
Overall, my stay at Kamp Kiwanis was great! I made new friends while doing some of my favorite outdoor activities. We all had so much fun and I can't wait to go back next year!

Cisco User Registration Tool (URT) is a dynamic authorization and policy control framework that manages access to the LAN by partitioning user traffic through VLANs.It provides organizations with increased LAN security by actively identifying and authenticating users as they access the network. Cisco URT associates users to the specific network resources they are authorized to use by dynamically assigning them to their appropriate VLAN, independent of their network port connection. Cisco URT also intelligently monitors and manages user identification, locations, and network access times and allows users to move throughout the campus and securely access their resources and services from any available LAN port. As a result, LAN user traffic is partitioned through VLAN port assignments based on a user's identity. With Cisco URT, RJ-45 wall jacks are no longer penetration threats to corporate networks.

Not too long ago we posted information on reading different types of old handwriting and scripts. But whether the handwriting is old or new, the ability to do accurate transcriptions is another essential skill for genealogists. (Note that transcriptions and abstracts are not the same thing - transcriptions are exact copies and must follow certain conventions.)
Think your transcription skills are rusty or are you a transcription pro? Try the sample exercises on the Board for Certification of Genealogists website. Be sure to read Skillbuilding: Transcribing Source Materials first.

They really are serving poker for dinner at the Bizcaya restaurant
at the Ritz-Carlton in Coconut Grove, Miami. Promoting their "Wine
is Fun. Period!" dinner series, they are adding a game of poker to
the more traditional benefits of fine dining, such as a chat with
the chef (chef de cuisine, please) and sommelier.
The relaxed and informal five course dinners, which are limited
to 14 guests, will see a card being dealt with each course. At the
very end of the meal, the person holding the best five card hand
will win a prize.
It's a tribute to the psychological realism of poker that its
analogies are used all the time in business and political
journalism, as well as sprinkled in the conversation of devoted
fans. Even sports events, like baseball are often described in
terms of poker, but what I'd really like to see is a poker

Road Trip : Mission No.1
Tadaaa.....Penang!! The last time i stepped on this island was about 5 years ago, whereby i just got to know i am preggy! Puke along the way to north and down to the south....that was an eerie nightmare...Sad thing was, i didnt get to enjoy the foodie over there but definetely not this time...ahahhahah. We gathered at my friend's house at 8am, and went for a breakie session. Then we started our journey about 9am++.
We reached there about 12pm++ and it started to rain. We were darn hungry and looking for some hawker stalls. Didnt really spot any since we are not that familiar with the routes.
Round and round the clock, we spotted an old coffee shop. The shop is not only in heritage style but the patrons who dine in the shop mostly are elderly. Leaving us with no choice, we just hopped into the shop to settle for a bowl of noodle. I had a bowl of soup noodle which cost RM2.70.
After feeding our stomach, there go our first mission. Our first mission was to buy the Him Heang Tambun Biscuits (Tau Sar Peah). Thanks to Kathy who search the address for us.
Being not familiar to the rules, we didnt know we have to pay for the biscuits before we queue up to collect it...Darn!! They should have put a notice in front of the cashier counter to alert the first timer like us who do not know the rules..So, in the half way of queue, my friend noticed customers were holding a receipt and she asked a lady if we supposed to pay before collecting the biscuits..Darn!! We need to get out from the queue and head over to the cashier to pay first..then back to the square one.
Seems like not easy to get this...which took quite sometime for us to wait in the queue.
But is definetely worth for the long queue..hahhaha.Yummmm!!!
*First mission was accomplished! Stay tuned for our next mission....ehheheheh

1) For leveling a Raw page, is it the same value each time or does it depend on the raw?
2) Any links to legally download photoshop in the long run without paying for it?
1) it can change depending on the RAW.
2) no, you can get i think a 30 day trial. If you are a student you can purchase it for $350 CND last i checked.

Question question.
I think blud changed his style of editing. Blud's scan looking so much more nicer now (especially the gray). What did you use?
Give me an example of a chapter with nicer grays and I'll be able to tell you what I did, I've been experimenting a lot lately, but mostly using the same techniques. I've also been doing some manual touching up while waiting for translations.
Thanks for the great tutorial
But could you fix the images in tutorial? (I see some bear instead of examples)

By LOU SANSEVEROFerron
I recently heard a rumor that several of the RS 2477 roads in the county (the one that immediately comes to mind is the road to Copper Globe) are being closed to ATV traffic because no one has come forward who can document that they personally used them 75 years ago... come on 75 years ago? Who the heck are the environmentalists trying to fool, 75 years was probably picked because they know darn well that anyone who has personal knowledge of using those roads 75 years ago is, most likely, dead.
With this I think I'm about at the end of my string...we are living in a nation where our elected officials, the President and the Congress inclusive, are shredding the Constitution, violating the law, and openly bribing each other for votes. Where irrational political correctness is endangering every American by refusing to recognize radical Islam is the enemy and as a result all Muslims need to be viewed with suspicion and deserve extra screenings at airport not old ladies with walkers nor little girls dolls nor non-Muslims wielding nail clippers. We are a nation where we have been forced, by idiotic energy policies, into virtual servitude to people who hate us, have been driven to the edge of economic collapse, and which have caused the death, at least indirectly, of thousands of American citizens and service men and women because of irrational environmentalism that has made it impossible for us to rationally and conscientiously exploit our own natural resources for our national energy independence.
Finally we are a nation where the will and well being of the majority of the American people are ignored by a government that has become more and more divorced from the goals and ideals of the founding fathers and the Constitution.
I think it's time that the American people begin to show their righteous and well founded outrage. I for one intend to show mine by writing each of my representatives and telling them, in no uncertain terms, that if they don't immediately draft, submit, loudly and very publicly support, and get passed legislation to (1) require strict compliance, not re-interpreted compliance, to the Constitution especially with respect to the enumerated powers of the federal government found in Article 1 Section 8, (2) put an end to "legalized" bribery and "earmarks", that the contents of bills be strictly limited only to the primary stated purpose of the bill, and that the language of the bill be such that it can be understood, without explanation, by the average high school student, (3) require that profiling, during this time of war, of Muslims be immediately instituted as our national prime screening tool, and lastly (4) that energy independence be immediately made the primary consideration in all decisions regarding land use and that there be an immediate reversal of the idiotic, anti-energy independence policies of the past 60 years or I will, no matter who it is, no matter what their platform, nor what party they represent, vote for whomever is running against them in November or whenever they next run for office. I also intend to contact everyone I know and ask them to join me in writing similar letters/emails to their representatives. The only way that I see to restore sanity to our government is to get rid of the bums, who for the past 60 years, have brought us to where we are now through their greed, their drive for personal power, and their incompetency. This November may very well be the last real opportunity the American people have to regain control over their government and return it to a republic based on a constitution.
All my life I've been a law-abiding citizen but, when it comes to laws closing these roads and irrationally restricting access to our communally owned land to satisfy the delusional demands of a small group of wacko gaian-ist I think the only recourse left to the people of Emery County, or like minded citizens anywhere else, is to nullify these laws by violating them on a pre-determined date in-mass. I know this is a radical statement that may very well get me branded a "wacko" myself but before you do you might want to reflect on the fact that civil disobedience was successfully used by Ghandi to achieve Indian independence, by African-Americans to successfully achieve equality, and is currently being used by disparate groups throughout the world to achieve their goal and I truly think that radical, non-violent action is the only method that has been left to us to get the attention of the gang of incompetents and crooks that are laughably called our "leaders" and reach the goal of regaining sovereignty over our own public lands.

AVAILABILITY: Unavailable for immediate shipment.
Metal Geometric Statement Necklace 6 6
I love the style and color I really love this necklace but I was very disappointed because I was not able to wear right away. We I opened the package the necklace was broken but its pretty and different. June 14, 2013
Must have I actually purchased this same necklace last summer in black and gold and, like the previous reviewer said, got the matching bracelet. It brings life to so many different outfits and converts to various styles. Go ahead and get it -- you won't regret it! May 25, 2013
edgy I love it. It's light and not too big. I'm not a statement necklace person either. I like small and simple but this itme caught my attention. I'm planning on wearing this with a mint color sheath dress from jcrew and nude heels. To keep it from looking matronly the necklace adds edgy style. I recommend it. February 20, 2013
Cute & Stylish! Gorgeous necklace a bit too long in length. Would like it to be maybe shorter to accentuate necks of all sizes. Especially petite ones such as mine. But as a whole I love it! December 13, 2012
classy necklace I purchased the necklace to complete the jumpsuit that I got earlier. It look fabulous and really classy, its not heavy it is just the right length for Bustiers as well. Thanks again BeBe November 22, 2012
Cutting Edge (Almost literally) "One of my favorite Statement Necklaces to come out this season. By far. I've never considered myself a "Statement Necklace Girl" until now. It just has that "something" and goes with just about everything in every color. Bebe also has a matching bracelet. If I were you, I'd treat myself to the set. The price is just right, and so is the style. Rock on...and with this necklace, you will!" August 25, 2012

Early release:
Awesomeness chapter!
Who was the bunshin? Obito? Naruto? That I didnt catch.
At the very final page, Madara resembled Nagato. White hair from what I could tell. Possible side effects, either from use of Gedou Mazou, or perhaps just old age? The amount of badassery oozing from this guy is other worldly.
Im assuming they met in a world between life and death? As when Kakashi met his father? Did Madaras grudge keep him alive in that space?
1 chapter is never enough to satisfy my needs. But still an awesome one at that.
Hopefully in the next chapters to come, we'll get more info about Obito, and his meetings with Madara!
Maybe he just injected him with wisdom matrix-style? Would explain Obitos "sudden" raise in skillset.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to Rinnegan so it would seem. If it can control life/death, then it would seemingly be a small matter to empower Obito with knowledge, combatskills, memories.
So many questions! Aaaaaah!
Last edited by Stefano-kun; 09-11-2012 at 08:32 AM.
Oh Wow! Kishimoto took a page out of Kubo's notes on how to treat women. Naruto's been pumping out some good chapters as of late.
I Love You!
epic epic chapter!! I'm glad we got a taste of Madara vs the 9, 8 tails combo before the flashbacks start.
what's everyone's ideas on what the Hokage is upto? is it just healing them or is there something more going on?
I think Madara meant that Naruto was a kage bunshin. That was a surprise to me atleast. Then where is the real Naruto?
Other thoughts, the old Madara on the last page did resemble Nagato a lot.. There's got to be a connection there somehow. Perhaps Madara also synced with Gedo Mazou and was drained because of that. It's pretty obvious that we're now going to see what we wanted chapter 600 to be about The backstory of Madara and Obito
I'm interested in Madara's weapon. Seems pretty damn imba. Perhaps another of the SoSP's weapon.
Really good one to read. Well Naruto is my favorite manga character so I enjoyed reading the chapter.
As i read the manga as an art reader and this one makes me more delighted to create an art of the characters.
Indeed great post !
I guess Tsunade's only half the woman she used to be now, but It was nice to see Madara put the Uchiha war fan to use. Unfortunately seeing Madara in old age (or perhaps Geddou Mazou synced) only further raises the question of why if through Edo Tensei Kabuto could restore his soldiers to their prime did not do the same for Nagato, Chiyo, and a number of others. Also since when has Obito had time to formulate all of these plans that Madara acknowledges him for? While he was recovering from being terminally crippled Obito suddenly became a master strategist? I don't know if I like the direction that I think this is heading in.
http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/601/16. Which leaves us with the question, when Naruto replaced himself with a clone. I don't think it was a clone that had the talk with the Bijuus, and I don't think he would leave this fight to a Kage Bunshin. Be that as it may, Naruto's power boost is quite heavy, everyone but Madara would be blown to hell after that attack. And it seems Madara's Fan is able to absorb chakra and to send it back right away.
But what bothers me is: Since when is it possible to recognize clones, whatever the eyes? The Byakugan can't (http://www.mangapanda.com/93-105-6/n...apter-100.html), the Rinnegan can't (http://www.mangapanda.com/93-428-1/n...apter-423.html), and the sharingan can't neither (http://www.mangapanda.com/93-365-17/...apter-360.html). Maybe it's an EMS-thing.
And now it's clear it's Obito: No Izuna body, no copy, it's clearly the original. The question remains:
Anyway, what Obito and Madara were saying seems to confirm my theory that the Gedou Rinne Tensei no Jutsu is a once in a lifetime technique (http://www.mangashare.com/forums/thr...time-technique). Apparently, it is possible to revive bodies that are long dead, as Madara was. Then again, why didn't he revive Yahiko?
I am curious whether Tsunade is going to survive. I think she might, because if not, the whole encounter with Dan would be pointless. And if she saves the Kages including herself, don't you dare tell me the is weak or her existence is futile.
I think it's kinda ironic that Kabuto's trumph card ended up backfiring that bad. Reviving Madara to his prime.. Damn, he should have seen that one coming.

the databook 2 has a whole bunch of information on the characters that i only wish I could be able to read, most importantly it has the "power/ability charts"
You know the big circle indicating the strengths of the characters.
what exactly do they mean? i want to be able to tell what's what to have an idea of how they compare.
The 3rd Hokage's data kind of disappointed me, he has the whole right side of the circle full which is impressive but why is he missing so much on the left? what the heck are the left side things?
for those interested, you can check out the character data's here

At your own risk– Boardwalk Empire star and notorious naughty girl Paz de la Huerta (who we're pretty much in love with) appears in Joe's Jeans Fall 2011 ad campaign, which celebrates the brand's 10th anniversary. The campaign, photographed by Tao Ruspoli, puts the the actress in an old time circus where she rides a vintage merry-go-round, dangles from an aerial hoop suspended 14 feet in the air, is strapped to a spinning wheel in front of a knife thrower, and other carnival-esque antics. It's a good thing this beauty's wearing jeans built to handle all of these crazy tricks. Don't try this at home!

Kazu Namise is the Founder and CEO of Phylia de M., which is based on the philosophy, science and life's work of scientist, and her godfather, Dr. Dick Miyayama.
There was a time when I felt my hair was irreparable. By researching and using Dr. Miyayama's discoveries, I learned that I could heal my own hair in a natural and effective way. The result is a remarkable feeling of independence, confidence, and strength – as I finally took charge of my own health and beauty. By freeing myself from the fear and helplessness that can result from the modern world overload of misinformation and false claims, I was able to take the first steps toward healing. I want to share Phylia de M. so that everyone can gain the renewed hope and confidence… and discover their own true beauty.Kazu Namise
Over 35 years ago Dr. Dick Miyayama became disenchanted with Western pharmaceutical trends & decided to travel the world on a search for natural alternatives. He eventually settled in Mexico, where he embarked on the study of the herbal pharmacology of the ancient Aztecs & Mayans.
Through his newfound knowledge of herbal & natural remedies, Dr. Miyayama began to believe that hair damage &hair loss were not caused by an inescapable genetic predisposition. Instead, he deduced that it was stress, & internal imbalance, which impaired one's natural ability to grow & maintain new, healthy hair.
After careful study, he determined that the key to reverse hair, skin, & nail dysfunction, was literally at the root. He discovered that the nerves that supply vital keratin to hair, skin & nails became disconnected from the hair follicle overtime. Utilizing his experience in science & medicine & the ancient herbal secrets of his new home in Mexico, Dr. Miyayama created a revelatory recipe for cell & nerve regeneration. This proprietary blend of aloe, tannic & fulvic acids forms the base of all Phylia de M. products.

A system that addresses competency gaps, particularly in mission-critical occupations, by implementing and maintaining programs to attract, acquire, develop, promote, and retain quality talent.
The agency has closed skills, knowledge, and competency gaps/deficiencies in mission-critical occupations, and has made meaningful progress toward closing skills, knowledge, and competency gaps/deficiencies in all occupations used in the agency.

Mainline Denominations Can Have a Bright Future If They Want One

Excellent post, Frank. Check out our radio program/website Day1 at http://day1.org. We are trying to communicate the positive, accepting, intelligent message of the mainline churches, and are starting to get some good traction among the kinds of people you're talking about.

Frank, great thoughts! I work with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) -- one of those mainline Protestant denominations you're talking about (the first one founded on U.S. soil, BTW) -- and I just want to say to all those former evangelicals (like myself): Hey, I'd love to meet and talk with you!
I'd love to meet and talk with evangelicals too, and liberals/progressives (and ... and ... the list goes on). But, as a former evangelical myself, I can definitely relate to what you're talking about here. I'm fortunate to have found a home within the Disciples of Christ tribe, and I love being able to introduce others to the exciting openness and opportunity there is within this denominational network and space. And we'll be at Wild Goose Festival again this year for anyone who wants to meetup and hang out there!

As someone who has shared a tiny bit of this same journey, I have to say that what I find refreshing about my new spiritual home--an Episcopal church--is that it doesn't have an effort to "reach" new recruits, at least not in the way that evangelical churches do. My church rings the bells in the bell tower, letting the town know know we are worshipping. Whether or not anyone joins us is completely up to the individual. The families of the church-supported daycare are invited to participate, etc. A few do. Those who are led to us will find us easily.
There are many mainline churches out there doing meaningful work in subtle ways that may not seem like evangelism, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. When I hear talk of "reaching out" I get very nervous. Whether it's true or not, the idea of Jewish rabbis turning away converts three times before accepting them is appealing to me at this point in my life.

Thanks for your encouragement, Frank. I pastor a small, gentle flock of Presbyterians in Eastern North Carolina, where mainliners are in the minority. This congregation has the potential to be a wonderful place of healing for others who have been hurt by the church or who simply long for grace. We are struggling to find ways to meet them and connect with them and point them to the God who loves them more than words can express. This God delights to be loved with the mind and heart together. Hope to see you at Wild Goose. Blessings, Mary Harris Todd

You all make a good point. I'd like to add this: I think that the aggressive "evangelism" by right wing politicized evangelicals and fundamentalists has turned off so many people that reasonable progressive and kind people who are religious have become scared of even talking about faith honestly. That is too bad. I think that needs to change. Progressive inclusive faith has much to offer at this time, in fact may be the only way to save religion from the dustbin of history. It is time to speak up and not just about the positive but to draw sharp distinctions between actual faith and the hate politics that -- for instance -- wants to deny women the medical coverage they need or deny gay men and women their rights. We have to say what we are NOT not just what we are. A hard edge to progressive faith sounds counter-intuitive. But when it comes to denouncing the evil (yes that's the word) of the hijacking of the teaching of Jesus by the hard right we need to speak clearly then bind the wounds of those who stagger damaged for life from the Evangelical/fundamentalist/conservative right wing "Catholic" holocaust of the spirit.

Thanks for this great post. Unless the mainline denominations (and the rest of American Christianity for that matter)finds a way to attract the young folks you're talking about, then they're doomed to extinction. We no longer qualify as young (early 50's), but we are fundagelical refugees of sorts. We've found a safe comfortable place in a house church where most of the folks are 20-30 years younger than us.
Looking forward to seeing you again this year at Wild Goose.

I think what is most attractive about it is that it is a safe place to have dangerous conversations(to borrow a WG tagline). We put no emphasis on "conversions." Instead we're hoping to become better disciples. There is no overhead, so 100% of whatever we collect in donations goes directly to serve the poor in our community. Once a week we have dinner together and the doors are open to all. Over half of those who come to eat are homeless or near homeless. Here's something I wrote a few months ago after we discovered the group: http://practicingresurrection.wordpress.com/2011/12/10/grace-and-main/
This is such an important conversation to be having. Thanks for putting it out there.

AAV's are a local issue. We are also under the UPC but some cities have elected to allow AAV's.
: : Problem is, you mentioned UPC on trap arm length and then AAV's. These are not allowed under UPC but if you would have used the IPC which allows longer runs AND aav's, no problem with what he want's to do.
: Good catch. If his code allows AAVs it may also allows a longer trap arm. A longer trap arm to a real vent would be preferable to using an AAV if he can swing it under local code.
: Being in Illinois I tend to forget about the more lenient codes! The code here is basically UPC so AAVs are prohibited, but I've noticed that the local home centers sell them anyway...go figure.

Why Sellers Need to be More Skeptical
by Sharon Day
posted Jan 14 2013 9:36AM
You're sales team is probably not struggling with prospecting. But, if you've ever been frustrated by inaccurate projections, insufficient new business or being shopped for price, this article may be of help.
The main prospecting issues are:
Spending time with people who won't do business with you.
People who say they're interested and would like to see your presentation.
Those that give you a projected start date, then can't be found.
Over the years, I've witnessed that sellers too quickly accept their prospect's response at face value. The rippling effect of this is countless hours of wasted time spent in leaving messages, sending e-mails, creating presentations, incorrect reporting, and revised projections, all of which make business owners and sales managers cringe.
If more sellers practiced skeptical curiosity in all selling activities, there would be more productivity and less meaningless activity. Let me explain. Adopting the following beliefs will help you understand the power of skepticism and help you to qualify and disqualify more quickly.
Belief 1: Prospects should never be taken too seriously, especially when they're overly positive.
Belief 2: Prospects deliberately don't divulge all the information so they can keep you guessing and them in control.
Belief 3: Most times they have no intention of switching from their current supplier, even though they've asked for quotes, they are just shopping you for price, etc.
Belief 4: They feign interest because their goal is to gather as much information from you as possible at no charge.
Belief 5: They want you to make a presentation and leave a hard copy with them when you leave. This way they're armed with facts for negotiating with others.
Belief 6: They want your pricing because once they get that from you, they have all the leverage.
Belief 7: The start date they share with you is fictional. Always.
Once you internalize these beliefs and approach your prospects with a healthy dose of skepticism, you'll better understand the importance of asking more questions to get to the truth. So, let's review the above three issues and how approaching them skeptically would help. A sampling of questions is included with each for your consideration.
First, only spend time with people who match your ideal target account profile. Then realize that it's likely they really won't have a pressing need. That way you'll be prepared to ask them questions to uncover what they're struggling with, whether that's just an irritant or actually costing them money; how important it is for them to fix; what they've already done about the issue; whether it's worked, or if they intend to keep trying on their own. If they're losing money and they've tried everything they can think of to no avail, they need help. How much help depends on the amount they're losing. Ask for an appointment. Otherwise they don't have a real need right now, so move on, staying in touch periodically for a pre-determined amount of time.
When prospects say they're interested in your product/service, don't get excited. Rather, ask them why? What precisely are they interested in? What's happened to put them in the market to buy? Who else are they contacting? Who are they currently working with? Why would they switch? Ask them when they'll make a decision. Why then? Ask them about their key buying factors, price, delivery, etc. If they'll only buy from the low bidder, your company's policy will dictate whether you continue. If their request is simply part of an annual bid process, you should know some history. How often have they changed suppliers after bids were submitted? If bids enable them to get better pricing from a current vendor without making a change, that's precisely what they'll do and you want to know that upfront. I suggest you not play that game. However, if they're experiencing issues with a supplier, discovering exactly what those are will help you determine your next steps.
When they give you a start date and ask you to let them think about it for a while, I hate to say it, but they now hold all the cards. Once you've given them pricing, they have all they need to leverage your information against others; and, can take their sweet time in making the decision. So, now what do you do? Apologize, saying that you obviously misunderstood they would be making a decision that day. Ask what information you've left out because it's clear they still have concerns or questions. If they say everything's fine, ask for the order. If they still won't give it to you, it's a glaring sign that they aren't serious buyers. State when your current offer expires and be clear that if a decision hasn't been made by then you'll have to resubmit. If they're the decision maker and are really in the market to buy, they'll have a date, a budget and be able to decide. If not, they'll string you along.
So, if you're tired of spinning your wheels and would like greater success with prospecting and generating new business, become skeptically curious. Do so sooner rather than later.

By EUGENE SWALBERG
The Lady Pirates traded the balmy weather of Green River and traveled to seemingly always cold, Duchesne for a girls basketball game. The Pirates were short their starting guards due to sickness but the girls stepped it up and battled hard despite having nearly as many turnovers as points.
Michaela Hughes was the only Pirate in double figures as she went six for 11 from the field and added five points from the free throw line for a total of 17 points and led the team in offensive rebounds with four. To top off a great night, 'Mike' also added two blocks and two steals.
Five other Lady Pirates contributed offensively with Melissa Antillon dropping in her first three pointer of the season, Cassi Mecham adding two points at the line and older sister Cady going two for two at the line but grabbed six defensive rebounds and dished out four assists.
The real story in this game was having a few younger players 'step up to the plate' to fill the vacant spots on the roster. There were times when the girls all jelled and despite a turn over or two, the flow of the game was quick and you could see that things were working; then there were times when the wheels kind of fell off and it was chaos. But this is basketball and the only thing better than playing ball is playing more ball. Duchesne-56 and Green River-40.
Green River vs Navajo Mountain on Feb. 5
Though Kelsee Robertson, Cady Mecham, Melissa Antillon and Sarah Swalberg were all honored at half time because this was their last home game while in a lady Pirate basketball uniform, there was business to handle first. The Navajo Mountain lady Jaguars were in town and someone forgot to tell them that they weren't suppose to challenge the Pirates. Sarah Swalberg made her first career tip off successful with a tip to her team mate, but it was the lady Jaguars who scored first with a three ball and it was game on.
The Lady Pirates traded baskets with the Jaguars but they weren't able to shake them. Coach Parsons called an early first quarter time out to shake things up and to knock a few cobwebs loose. At the end of eight minutes the score was knotted at 13.
That's all it took.
With just 40 ticks off the clock in the second quarter, Sarah Swalberg drained a long three ball and the rout was on. The Lady Pirates began pounding it inside to Cady Mecham who finished the night with 11, to Jamie Johnson who finished with six and to Michaela Hughes for a game high 16 points.
Nine Lady Pirates dressed down for the game and nine Pirates scored. Kelsee Robertson a first year senior scored her first varsity points as each player contributed both offensively and defensively. The Lady Pirates only scored 13 in the first quarter but scored 21 points in each of the next three to go away with a home win by a score of 76 to 35.

What's the OPC's take on dinosaurs? Are behemoths, dragons and dinosaurs the same animal? Did Adam and Eve walk among them? What are some good reformed theology resources on these topics? I skimmed over the creation report and that didn't help me much.
Thank you for your enquiry.
Regarding dinosaurs and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church's "take" on them I offer the following.
We know that dinosaurs and man co-existed before and after the flood because:
1. The Bible says that both were created on the sixth day (Gen. 1:24-31).
2. The Bible describes dinosaurs very graphically in Job 40:1:15: "Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass like an ox." Behemoth is simply a transliteration of the Hebrew. Its description implies it was very large and powerful. According to Job 40:17, it had a tail like a cedar tree. And the only animal that matches that description is a sauropod dinosaur, such as a brachiosaur. This could therefore indicate that brachiosaur dinosaurs were alive in Job's day, less than 4,000 years ago.
3. More evidence comes from the rock carvings (petroglyphs) in the Natural Bridges National Monument in the southeast corner of Utah. These carvings, made by the Anasazi Indians 500 to 1,500 years ago, depict various animals, humans, and human hand prints. Some of these carvings indisputably depict brachiosaur dinosaurs.
4. There is a stone carving in the temple at Angkor Wat, Cambodia, dated about 900 years ago, which depicts a stegosaurus dinosaur.
5. Another piece of evidence that dinosaurs were living recently comes from a tomb in Carlisle Cathedral in northwest England. In the floor of the cathedral lies the tombstone of Bishop Richard Bell, who lived from 1410-1496. Around the edge of the tomb are brass carvings of different animals. Among these animals is a creature that looks like a brachiosaurus dinosaur.
We of the OPC do not subordinate Scripture to science. We do not study what science says about these matters and evolution and interpret Scripture according to science. Yet, it is amazing how science, when not interpreted wholly naturalistically, again and again supports the teaching of Scripture.
I hope that this is of some help to you.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by email. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.
