Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13 He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.
Peter Cameron Scott founded the African Inland Mission. He was born in 1867 in Scotland and went out as a missionary to Africa as a young man. Like so many in that generation, he got malaria and had to come back to Britain.
His second attempt was especially joyful because he was joined by his brother John. But the joy evaporated as John fell victim to the fever. Scott buried his brother by himself and at the grave rededicated himself to preach the gospel. But again his health broke, and he had to return to Britain utterly discouraged. Some of you may be precisely at this point in your efforts to serve the Lord.
"Other Sheep I Have"
In London, something remarkable happened. He visited Westminster Abbey and stood at the tomb of David Livingstone and read the words of our sermon text for today written on the gravestone: "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; Them also I must bring." God used these words to give him the confidence to return to Africa for the rest of his life. And the fruit of his life still exists today.
The double point I want to make from John 10:16 today is that it is one of the greatest biblical foundations for two kinds of confidence in your life. And you need both of these to live a joyful and fruitful Christian life.
• First, John 10:16 gives a great foundation for confidence that you will make it heaven—and I when I say "you," I mean those who receive Jesus as Savior and Lord and Treasure of their lives. You absolutely will make it to heaven.
• And second, John 10:16 gives a great foundation for confidence that God's worldwide saving purpose, and your part in it, will be successful.
Confident Enough to Not Waste Your Life
Peter Cameron Scott was restored to an invincible confidence that he would make it to heaven and that his life would be fruitful as a missionary because of what Jesus said in John 10:16. And I pray it has a similar effect on you. Unshakeable confidence that you cannot be lost, but will persevere to the end and enter the joy of your Master. And unshakeable confidence that your part in God's saving purposes will be successful. You will not waste your life.
Let's take these one at a time.
I. The Foundation of Our Confidence of Making It to Heaven
First, John 10:16 as the foundation for your confidence that you—you who have given your life to Christ (Romans 6:13; 12:1)—will make it to heaven, will not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16). (And, of course, my prayer is that those of you who have not given your lives to Christ will listen and be drawn to do so. If you want this, the gift is free.)
John 10:16: "And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd."
Let each of these four statements in verse 16 sink in. And in this first section, focus on how you, one of Christ's sheep, came to him and received life—abundant life (verse 10) that can never end.
1. "I have other sheep"
Focus for now on the word "have." Jesus "has" sheep. And he has them before they come to him. Otherwise, he would not say, "I must bring them also" (verse 16).
Look at verses 3 and 4: "To him [the "shepherd of the sheep," verse 2] the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice." (See also verse 14.)
Notice the words "his own." Verse 3: "He calls his own sheep." Before he calls them, they are his own. Jesus has come to Israel as her Messiah, and he is calling out his own sheep. He is creating a new people, a new flock. But these sheep are "his own"—he "has" them. As verse 16 says, before he calls them some are his and some are not. "I have other sheep. . . . I must bring them also." That's the first thing to see: In some sense, Jesus "has" his sheep—they are "his own"—before he brings them.
How Can Jesus Already Have Them?
Before we look at the next statement in verse 16, we should ask, "How can Jesus have his own sheep before he calls them and they hear his voice and they respond in faith and come to him?
The answer is they already belong to God the Father, and he gives these sheep to his Son. You can see this in several other places in John. For example, in John 17:6 Jesus prays to his Father, "I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me." God had chosen these sheep for himself ("Yours they were") and he gave them to the Son ("and you gave them to me").
The Father's Election
And we can see it in John 6:37: "All that the Father gives me will come to me." The Father has them before they come to Jesus. So Jesus can say in verse 16, "I have other sheep . . . and I must bring them," because they first belonged to the Father before they come to Jesus. The Father had chosen them for himself. And he gives them to the Son.
This is one of Jesus' ways of talking about the great truth of divine election that Paul speaks about in Ephesians 1:4: "God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world." "Yours they were, Father from before the foundation of the world, and you have given them to me." (See also John 6:39, 44, 65; 17:9, 24; 18:9)
So Jesus says, "I have sheep that I must bring." So let's focus on that second statement in verse 16.
2. "I must bring them also"
The word "must" here is crucial. Your salvation was included in this "must." "I must bring my sheep." This the "must" of divine necessity. The Father has chosen them. I will lay down my life for them. I must bring them. In other words, there is no question: They will be brought. It is not possible that the Father would choose a flock for the Son, and give them to the Son, and yet the Son not bring them. The salvation of Christ's sheep must take place.
How does he bring them? How did he bring you? He brings them by his word. He calls them. Look at verse 3: "To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out." He brings them to himself by calling them.
And if we ask how he does that today, he gives the answer in John 20:21 and 17:20. He says to his disciples, "As the Father has sent me [to call my own], even so I am sending you" (John 20:21). And how is his voice heard when he sends them? Jesus prays in John 17:20, "I do not [pray, Father] for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word" (John 17:20). Jesus brings his sheep to himself then and now by his word. My preaching and your witness are that word.
3. "They will listen to my voice"
"I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice" (John 10:16).
Lest we miss the point of saying, "I must bring them,"—lest we fail to hear the certainty in the word "must"—Jesus says with absolute authority, "They will listen to my voice." And that means they will respond. They will come.
Verse 4: "When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice." Verse 27: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."
How to Know If You're a Sheep
This is how you know if you are one of his sheep. You don't ask to read the Book of Life (Revelation 13:8; 17:8; 20:12). You don't pry into God's eternal decrees. You listen. And if, when Jesus speaks, you hear the voice of God and come, you are his. And what if you don't come? What if you don't believe? What would that mean?
The answer is in verse 26: "But you do not believe because you are not part of my flock." Believing doesn't make you part of his flock. Being part of his eternal flock enables you to believe. Believing shows that you are his from before the foundation of the world.
And if someone should say, "Well, if I am part of his flock before I believe, then I don't need to believe in order to be saved," he would be denying the words of Jesus. Because Jesus says in verse 27, "My sheep hear my voice . . . and they follow me." If you never follow him, you were never one of his sheep. If you do follow him, you always were one of his sheep.
4. "So there will be one flock, one shepherd"
"I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd" (John 10:16).
Focus on the words "will be." "There will be one flock." How long will he have a flock? How absolute is this promise?
The answer is given in verses 28–30. Start at verse 27: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one" (John 10:28–30).
A Chain of Security
This flock is forever. And that means you, believer. You will make it to heaven forever. Mark this chain of security:
• Those whom the Father chose for himself, he also gave to the Son.
• And for those who belong to the Son, he also laid down his life.
• And those for whom he laid down his life, he also called to himself.
• And those whom he called heard his voice and followed him.
• And to those who followed him, he gave eternal life.
• And those to whom he gave eternal life can never be taken from his hand.
• And there will be one flock and one shepherd forever.
This is how secure you are. This is how solid your salvation is. This is the foundation of your unshakeable confidence that you will make it heaven. It is the work of God (1 Corinthians 1:30). Let him who boasts boast in the Lord! (1 Corinthians 1:31).
II. The Foundation of Our Confidence That God's Worldwide Saving Purpose—And Our Part in It — Will Be Successful
You might say, and you'd be right, that we've already seen this foundation. If Jesus infallibly saves his own, then his worldwide saving purpose will succeed. And if I have a part in calling any of this sheep, that will succeed too. That's true.
So all I mean to do here is make sure we feel the thrust of the words "not of this fold" and "one flock, one shepherd." Verse 16: "And I have other sheep that are not of this fold [that is, this ethnic Jewish fold]. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock [from all these other ethnic groups around the world with the Jewish sheep], one shepherd" (John 10:16).
What we have spent this whole sermon showing so far is the magnificent, sovereign salvation that God is working to save his sheep. He chose them before creation, and he sent his Son into the world to lay down his life for them, and bring them to himself and to the Father.
The Danger of Becoming Ingrown and Indifferent
It would seem that this salvation should produce the greatest humility and the greatest gratitude possible. God did not choose us or call us because we were anything special. If there is any specialness, it is owing totally to his free and unconditional election and calling.
But because we are sinners still, it has proved often in history that the church has become ingrown and indifferent to the world; and that her chosen standing has been wickedly woven into the fabric of ethnocentrism and racism and nationalism. And the church has become comfortable with its own kind—this "fold."
Jesus saw it in his day, and he saw it coming. And therefore, right here in the middle of the one of the most glorious statements of election and sovereign grace he says, with razor sharp warning: "I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd" (John 10:16).
Sheep Scattered Abroad
These other sheep are scattered all over the world, and all throughout our Cities in the thousands of ethnic groups that God means to save. Consider two passages that John wrote.
In John 11:51–52, John records a prophecy of the High Priest, Caiaphas about Jesus: "He prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad." This is the same as saying, He died for the sheep in this Jewish fold and not only for them but for other sheep that are not of this fold. John says Jesus died "to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad." I have other sheep; I must bring them also.
How widely are they scattered? Where are they? John saw a vision in Revelation 5:9–10 where he gives the answer. The voices in heaven sang,
Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.
When the Great Shepherd laid down his life for the sheep, he purchased his sheep from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. Therefore, whatever ethnic group you are among, there are sheep there to be found (Acts 18:10). They need to hear the voice of Jesus. There are brothers and sisters to be found there. We dare not look on any racial or ethnic group with disdain. We dare not hold back the treasure of the gospel, as though we were worthy of it and they are not.
Waking Up to Other Sheep
God has been gracious to his church and to the world over and over again to waken us from the slumbers of ingrown, self-satisfied, this-fold-and-no-more attitudes.
In the early 1600s, John Eliot in Boston woke up from the Puritan fold and saw that there were "other sheep" among the Algonquin. A century later David Brainerd woke up from the New England Congregational fold and saw that there were "other sheep" among the Housatonic and the Delaware. At the end of the 18th century, William Carey woke up from the British Baptist fold and saw that there were "other sheep" in India.
And just when the mission agencies and churches were growing content with the coastland successes around the world, Hudson Taylor woke up to the peoples of the vast inland stretches of China, and Peter Cameron Scott to the inland peoples of Africa.
And just when all of Western Christendom began to feel content in the 20th century that every country of the world had been penetrated with the gospel, Cameron Townsend and Ralph Winter woke up to the reality of 17,000 unreached peoples and thousands of languages with no Bible. God has been so merciful and patient with us.
God Will Triumph
"I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd"—John 10:16 is the foundation for our confidence that we will make it to heaven, and it is the foundation for our confidence that God's worldwide purpose will succeed in bring his sheep from every race, every tribe, every language, every people group into one flock with one Great Shepherd.
Therefore, Bethlehem, we will resist all ethnic arrogance; and we will pursue gospel-based, ethnic diversity, and Christ-exalting racial harmony; and we will pray that the strife-transcending voice of Jesus be heard wherever ethnic hostilities are feeding riots; and we will send missionaries to the unreached peoples of the world until Jesus comes.
And we will do this with great confidence that whatever happens to us, we will make it to heaven and God's plan will triumph.

The Obligatory GOP Debate Overhype Post
posted at 12:50 pm on September 7, 2011 by Karl
The Week neatly rounds up all the conventional wisdom you need about tonight's GOP presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California. Viewers will get their first real look at the putative frontrunner, Rick Perry, an infrequent but reportedly solid debater. Perry will come under rhetorical fire from chief rival Mitt Romney, as well as those who want the NotRomney slot, e.g., Michelle Bachmann and Ron Paul. After all, these candidates will not want to "pull a Pawlenty' by backing away from their offstage critiques of Perry. Jon Huntsman will likely target Romney also, although any buzz he got from his tax plan may evaporate with the news that he has a touch of laryngitis. All concerned will have nice things to say about Reagan while at his library.
However, if no one pulls a Pawlenty, folks ought to watch solely for the entertainment value, if any. As political scientitsts John Sides and Brendan Nyhan will tell you, a presidential candidate who hopes to change the dynamic of a campaign in a debate is likely to fail. Candidates will spin their performances and those of their rivals. Much of the establsihment media — and the blogosphere — will pretend it matters, because they have space to fill. Absent the unforeseen, I will have a difficult time getting worked up over it. This is why I am a bad blogger.

Arsène Wenger wants to draw a line under the defeat at Stoke on Saturday but, at the same time, he remains defiant in his views about the tackling at the Britannia Stadium.
The Arsenal manager has courted controversy this week with his response to suggestions his side lacked courage at the weekend in the 2-1 defeat in the Potteries.
The issue enveloped the Champions League tie with Fenerbache on Wednesday. It hogged the headlines in the build-up and was also high on the agenda with journalists at the post-match press conference.
"We have to end that story," commented the Frenchman after the 0-0 draw with the Turkish side. "But I maintain what I said.
"I know what I said and [my views] have not been transformed into bitterness after the defeat. It is an answer to a statement made by a player from Stoke about my players.
"I congratulated Stoke on their victory from after the game. But I was not happy with some tackles and I just wanted to say that you don't need to be brave to tackle a guy from behind. The brave one is the guy who tries to play football. I maintain that strongly.
"Sometimes in England you can say 'oh you didn't fancy that'. Of course we don't fancy that because that is not football.
"You can look at the Fair Play table, who is top? Arsenal Football Club. So first of all we have no lessons to learn from anybody on that front. Look at the team with the least fouls in the Premier League - it is Arsenal Football Club.
"I am responsible for the behaviour of my team and when you look at the Fair Play table, you see that Arsenal are top. And that [includes] the behaviour of the manager on the touchline and the players on the field. I do not make that table.
"Instead of having a go at us you should look somewhere else."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

text: I thought this would be a cool topic, which Cowboy have you met. Explain the whole scenario, and no bullshatters. I will kick it off by giving my experience. It was preseason as the Cowboys came to Fl to play the Jags, I took my Mom(skins fan) with me to Jax. There was a lot of media for a preseason game as Emmitt was going to break the rushing record this year, barring nothing(we all knew it). Anywho the game was great Cowboys win in a competitive game. So, I decided after the game to walk around the stadium, get some pictures. As I was leaving my Mom had noticed the players were coming out, so anyhow ended up meeting T.Ham and asked him are you guys going to beat the skins (to piss mom off) and he said"We are going to whoop the Redskins ***".

These past two weeks all he's done is make great athletic plays which we know he's capable of and has done before. But what is Dez doing other than being the physical freak we drafted him for? He's not showing me anything that points to him taking the next step to a veteran receiver in this league.

Atlanta • Kyle Korver and Devin Harris didn't play together in Utah. They were separated by nearly a year, a head coaching change, and one moody superstar point guard.
But the two former Jazz players, who started for the Hawks against the Jazz on Friday at Philips Arena, still have a fair bit in common.
"They still run the same offense," Korver said, "and today we were going through the plays and we're kind of looking at each other like, yeah he's going to cut this way, they're going to run this play, it's still called the same thing and all of that stuff."
The connections between the Jazz and Hawks run deep, with two Utah natives on the Jazz roster, a former Hawk on the Jazz roster and two on the coaching staff. In addition to Korver and Harris, the former Jazz first-round draft pick DeShawn Stevenson plays for the Hawks.
Korver helped the Jazz to the Western Conference finals in 2008 before leaving for Chicago as a free agent in 2010. The next winter, the Jazz traded All-Star Deron Williams to New Jersey in exchange for a haul of players that included Harris, a former All-Star point guard.
"The teams are totally different when he was there," Korver said, "and I was there in a short period of time."
Only Paul Millsap remains from Korver's two-and-a-half-year stint. Harris is considerably more familiar with the Jazz roster, since he was traded for Marvin Williams just last summer.
Despite leading the Jazz to the playoffs last season, Harris said he knew his time was up when the Jazz made a trade for Mo Williams, who is out for a minimum of six weeks following right thumb surgery.
"It was a writing on the wall when Mo came with expiring contract," Harris said
In some ways, after a tenure with the Jazz that Harris conceded "didn't last very long," his connection is easy to overlook.
He didn't win over the fans as did Korver, who continues to operate his charitable foundation in Salt Lake City. He didn't build a life in Utah the way Marvin Williams did in Atlanta.
But he holds a notable role in Jazz history: He was the point guard who replaced Deron Williams.
"It was a fun time while I was there," Harris said. "Fans embraced me, enjoyed spending time there. Didn't last very long, with expiring contracts and all that other stuff."
No hard feelings
Marvin Williams didn't get to play Friday in his first game back at Philips Center, where he played his home games for the first seven years of his career. An inflamed right knee will keep him out at least through Saturday.
But the second pick in the 2005 draft made it clear he was disappointed not to get to play against his longtime teammates, including Josh Smith, Al Horford and Zaza Pachulia.
"I've looked at it more as a fun game," he said, "as opposed to a game where I've got to show them what they're missing out on."
He was still the most popular interview, though, at the Jazz's morning shootaround, where he credited the Hawks for giving him a chance to start his career and thanked the Jazz for allowing him to continue it.
"They gave me an opportunity to live out my dream," he said, "so I'll be forever grateful to the Atlanta Hawks for doing that. I'm a member of the Utah Jazz now, and I like where I'm out. I'm really enjoying my time out there, so hopefully I can stay out there as long as [I was] here."
The Hawks selected Williams No. 2 overall out of North Carolina. He never grew into the player they envisioned and never averaged more than 14.8 points per game. With the Jazz, however, he is enduring one of the worst seasons of his career. His 8.9 points per game is the lowest since his rookie year, when he scored 8.5 points as a 19-year-old.

Really, what kinds of learning occurs in the routine experiences of the typical nonprofit board?
The 'big news' of last week's post applying the 70:20:10 model to board learning was that most of what we adults learn comes from experience, not formal training events. I offered up some general thoughts about what experiential learning in a nonprofit boardroom might look like in that post, but the adult educator in me is feeling the need to dig a little deeper on the question you may be asking:
What IS experiential learning?
To give myself a frame for responding, I turned to one of my favorite thinkers on the topic, Tara Fenwick, who offers six types of experience where learning occurs.*
Direct embodied experience - The right now, right before us experiences that make up our daily lives. Fenwick reminds us that those experiences can impact us physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally, etc. As I reflected on this one, I couldn't help thinking that so much of board work - and our approach to it - is treated as an intellectual endeavor. The fact is, as human beings, our experiences involve more than our heads - even/especially in the meaning-driven nature of the visionary work of governance. Those of us who come to boards because we care deeply about the issues do not treat future-focused discussions as essentially academic exercises. We engage our hearts, spirits and minds.
Vicarious experience - What happens when we hear others describe their experiences; the ways in which their stories impact us, inform us, and resonate with us personally. I often struggle with how to provide board members with real connections to the mission of the organization when direct experience might result in one of two very inappropriate responses: wandering into micromanagement territory or breaking client confidentiality. Providing them with ample opportunity for vicarious experience brings them to that mission while respecting boundaries. Board members need to hear stories from front-line staff and volunteers. They need to hear client stories - delivered in appropriate and sensitive ways. They need to listen to what the senior executive shares as a co-leader and as the day-to-day manager. Boards can learn, and derive their own meaning, from the stories that others tell about your mission.
Simulated experience - Set up to resemble real-life scenarios, but provided in an artificial and controlled environment. I'll admit, I'm stretching for a good example of what this might look like in a board setting (I'm hoping one or more readers might be able to share one with us.). It does summon to mind my first board assignments, for agencies providing crisis intervention services to victims of family violence and sexual assault. I often was appalled by my peers' lack of understanding of victims' experiences and fears, and the challenges crisis line volunteers and staff face in addressing their urgent needs. In that setting, role playing - taking a hypothetical (but typical) crisis call or simulating a shelter intake process - might have gone a long way to clarifying those issues for my board friends.
Relived experience - Recalling previous experiences, with the benefit of having time and perspective to assist with assessing and learning from them. There is value in organizational history. Not only does it help boards avoid reinventing the wheel, but it also fosters reflection that creates the chance to learn something new/different from our experiences. Boards benefit when they revisit their successes and their failures - especially the former. Why were we successful? What were the conditions that facilitated that success? What conditions are in place today, and how can we leverage those conditions in this situation?
Collaborative experience - Working together, experiencing something together. Collective experience includes both discussion and action. Governance is the ultimate collective experience. Conversation makes up a significant percentage of that experience, but boards can/should/do learn when they act together. In fact, getting out of their seats (and their heads) more often would be a healthy thing for our boards.
Introspective experience - Engaging the quiet voice within. Boards need to reflect. They need space to sit back, collectively and individually, and listen to what their hearts tell them, just as they listen to their heads. Resisting the urge to act quickly and decisively is a practice that would benefit more boards. If they need time to reflect on an important decision, they need to take it.
How is your board already learning through experience? Which of these experience sources surprised you? Which has the potential to expand your board's capacity if it acknowledged and focused on its value in its practice? What kinds of examples could you share with fellow readers, to help them expand their understanding of how boards learn?
* from Fenwick's 2003 book, Learning through Experience: Troubling Orthodoxies and Interesting Questions, p. 13.

So, what do boards experience?

Great overview, DB! As for the simulated experience, this is often useful when brushing up a skill such as "making the ask" of a donor, or doing legislative education or lobbying. Role-plays can feel hokey to adult learners, but we all can use some practice now and again!

Excellent example, Liz! Role play can be incredibly powerful (even though, as you note, they aren't always an adult learner favorite). Their value comes, not only for the participants, but for those who are observing and learning in the process. Thanks!

Video: Parrot MINIKIT Neo Universal Bluetooth Kit
Robert Ferency-Viars is the managing editor for the Crutchfield car A/V learning content, and has been with the company since 1999. A Virginia native from the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, he loves spending time with his wonderful wife and sons, listening to music, writing, and playing games with friends. Robert's love for car audio began at 16 when he installed his first car stereo.
More from Robert Ferency-Viars
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Parrot's MINIKIT Neo universal Bluetooth car kit clips on your visor, then links up with your compatible phone to give you hands-free calling and much, much more. Once you mount the MINIKIT Neo on your visor, it syncs up with your phonebook instantly. You can speak commands to initiate, accept, or reject calls, all without taking your hands off the wheel.
Video Transcript
Robert: Hi. It's me, Robert, and we're sitting here in my car today with the Parrot MINIKIT Neo, their newest hands-free Bluetooth device for the car. The Neo is really easy to use. It uses a series of what they call "magic words" and all you have to do is say its name and and it pops to life. "MINIKIT"
MINIKIT: Who do you want to call?
Robert: Tara.
MINIKIT: Tara. Cell phone call in progress.
Robert: In addition to hands-free calling, the Neo is also compatible with Bluetooth A2DP Profile. That means you can stream music from your phone or iPod through the device. And you know, for such a tiny little speaker it doesn't sound that bad. If you have nothing else, such as a car stereo to listen to, it's a good alternative. But more importantly if you're running GPS on your phone the turn-by-turn directions get beamed to the device, and so that makes it that much easier for you to use your phone as a GPS unit.
I made a few calls with the MiniKit over the weekend and everyone I called said they could hear me fine, that my call was coming through fairly clear, and that's because of the noise-canceling microphone built in on top of the device. Meanwhile, calls coming in, as you've heard, are also really clear because there's a big speaker built in right here, and it's right next to my head. In a noisy car environment that really helps make sure you can hear.
So if you're interested in learning more about this, check out our website, and if you have any questions about it, give us a call.

Gopher Frog Restoration
2010 marked a banner year for a multi-year project aimed at establishing a self-sustaining breeding population of gopher frogs at Williams Bluffs Preserve in Early County. State-listed as rare, gopher frogs depend on intact sandhill habitats where adults survive within the burrows of their namesake host, the gopher tortoise. However, these frogs also require nearby fishless wetlands where they breed and their tadpoles develop. Because of widespread upland and wetland habitat alteration throughout their range, gopher frogs are now limited to fewer than 10 sites in Georgia.
In 2007, DNR's Nongame Conservation Section began a project involving the collection of gopher frog eggs from two healthy populations, rearing these to late-stage tadpoles or post-metamorphic froglets, and releasing them at an unoccupied but high quality and protected site within their historical range. This past year, in partnership with Atlanta Botanical Garden, University of Georgia, The Nature Conservancy and the Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center, 1,518 juvenile gopher frogs were released, far more than had been released in any of the three previous years. Gopher frogs reach breeding maturity in two to three years. Next season should give biologists the first opportunity to document successful breeding at a repatriated site, which would be a range-wide first for this imperiled amphibian.

Man I hope you stayed up 3 overtimes what a game
This is going to end up going 7
I guess we will have to wait around for another 4 months to beat up on each other, then again we have College Football GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
absent injury they will return.
Need better defnese. Wings were so forceful on defense.
I also want the league to review there rules about goalteneder interferance, which is bogus.
Lot less expensive than my brothers flyers season tickets.
Quoteabsent injury they will return. Absolutely :)QuoteNeed better defnese. Wings were so forceful on defense.Yes and no. , I don't think they were that forceful. I think their efficiency on offense made it seem that way. QuoteI also want the league to review there rules about goalteneder interferance, which is bogus.Just look at shots on goal! Whether its fore checking or defense or buzz saw offense doesn't matter. Pens were dominated most of the time. I am amzed at how few shots pens got and how many went in. They are skilled shooters, but need defense. Fleury played awesome and needs to in the future as well.[I met Vince Papale at our most recent profit sharing. Good guy.

At the National Museum of Funeral History, Shelley Ott-Bellopede sees everyday as just another day above ground. A recent history graduate from the University of St. Thomas, Ott-Bellopede had the unique opportunity to work as a historian intern on an exhibit about papal funerals at the only national funeral museum in the United States.
"I have a heart for the culture surrounding death," Ott-Bellopede said. "I've enjoyed interning at the museum, and I see that death is about celebrating life."
Genevieve Keeney, Ott-Bellopede's supervisor and president of the museum, is working to remove the negative connation associated with death and funerals. She said she wants people to understand and accept the many physiological and psychological effects death has on a person.
"We resort back to our faith in death," Keeney said. "Faith tells us where our next journey is, and we want to help people embrace death in a healthy way. A funeral is like your final party. What would that party say about you? Even though it's a sad event, this ceremony is universal. It is like a rite of passage. Why not have a better understanding of your final party?"
A permanent exhibit called "Celebrating the Lives and Deaths of the Popes" is the largest collection of artifacts supplied by the Vatican outside of Rome. Since 2008, the 5,000 square-foot exhibit includes a full-scale replica of Pope John Paul II's crypt and a reproduction of the coffin used in the funerals of three previous popes.
"The papal exhibit is full of tradition and customs that haven't changed for 2,000 years," Keeney said.
"We wanted to display all the popes back to St. Peter," Ott-Bellopede said. "We want non-Catholics to have an appreciation for the popes. The dignity of their sacred nature and how these artifacts are presented is just fascinating. It speaks to the nature of the Catholic Church and how this faith expresses man's relationship to God."
Through attending St. Thomas and working on the exhibit, Ott-Bellopede developed a deep appreciation and respect for the Catholic faith even though she is not Catholic.
"UST has a strong passion for students and mutual support," Ott-Bellopede said. "I believe in the value of education and the core values of a Catholic institution. I can't say enough good things about St. Thomas."
Keeney said the museum can be used as an educational resource for Houston students and the community.
"The museum is an educational experience that breaks the taboo surrounding death," Keeney said.
The museum is located at 415 Barren Springs Drive in Houston and open seven days a week. For more information, call 281-876-3063.

Streaming online radio, other changes coming to KUOZ
Release Date: 1/26/2012
Since it first went on the air in 2003, U of O's FM radio station KUOZ has brought hundreds of hours of listening pleasure to the campus and surrounding community, featuring a wide variety of music genres and news shows created by U of O students. Now the station has moved solidly into the 21st century. Starting this semester, listeners in any corner of the globe can enjoy KUOZ online.
Starting this semester, listeners in any corner of the globe can now enjoy KUOZ through live online streaming.
"This is a project that's been in the works for awhile," said KUOZ Director of Broadcasting Susan Edens. "It took awhile to set up. We didn't really have a manual for 'If you want to go online streaming, here's how you do that,' so we had to figure out all the technology. After some trial and error we put it together and it worked. It was a collaborative effort between me, our Director of Information Technology Rick Otto, and University Webmaster. So we're running now and have our audio signal out. Eventually we'll also have a data feed so people can see what's coming up and what they're listening to. That's coming a little later."
Edens added exciting developments are underway at KUOZ. "Right now we're getting stuff ready for my video production class," she said. "We're going to try to do something with the athletic department. We want to do an ESPN game day kind of thing. It would involve multiple cameras. We'd take our news desk out there, put it on a platform. I believe tennis coach Shaun Wiseman is going to be our talent, plus a couple of students, and we want not only to webcast that, but also to set it all up closed circuit, so we can send the signal to big monitors on the field, then later we'll broadcast it on Channel 6."
The TV station is in the process of acquiring a portable field video switcher. "Our current switcher is good but 20 years old, and somewhat outdated," Edens said. "This new one, in addition to being extremely portable in comparison to the old one, would allow us to control up to six cameras, and then have a 22-inch monitor where we can see all the output, control the shots, and even put green screen and titles on it."
She has also been in contact with Ozarks Outdoors to discuss the possibility of inviting local musicians to come to campus and play at BaseCamp, Outdoors' headquarters. "The idea would be for them to perform at the cabin and shoot it for television," Edens said. "Think Austin City Limits, though much much smaller and more intimate. It wouldn't be difficult to produce. We did a similar project at the old coffee house downtown." The radio station also has a remote radio setup so the shows could be broadcast on the radio live for the community.
Edens also mentioned an ongoing KUOZ effort, the Audio Time Capsule Project. "It's based on shows like 'Story Corps,' 'Radio Diaries,' and 'This I Believe,'" she said. "We'll take people coming in to do a story about someone in their family, or an essay on something they've experienced. It can be about almost anything. Right now the two stories we have up there are one by Katrina Mariswamy about living in Malaysia and the things she misses about home, and Julia Frost about adopting a child."
She added that in addition to recording the stories and making podcasts of them, KUOZ also makes digital copies for the storyteller to take home. "You have to capture these histories while you can," she said.
"So we're gearing up for these different projects," Edens said. "Students are always excited about radio, but with the streaming I can tell they're even more into it. We're adding more music. We want people to come in and be on the radio. It's a regular thing, you know -- students and staff. The more familiar voices we have, the better. Since the streaming radio went online only recently, we've already heard from old students and listeners everywhere: Texas, Malaysia yesterday, Costa Rica the day before."
Edens encourages those interested in doing a radio show to contact her. "Just give us a call," she said. "Don't be shy. They can call me at (479) 979-1450, or send me an email at email@example.com."

text: Given that Opel and Buick are now connected at the hip, could the Adam become a Buick? Buick already is driving down the average age of its buyers with current models and that should continue next year with the launch Encore crossover. After the engine/transmission upgrades, the Adam car could be the fashion statement Buick needs, but Opel will build the Adam only in Germany. Production would have to move to a more cost-effective assembly plant to make a Buick version profitable.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|The 1.6 Zetec is not an interference motor. But that still doens't mean that damage can't happen from a belt snapping. The idea is to avoid it all together. If you are unsure of the service records for this car you can either drive it until the belt snaps and leaves you stranded in the middle of no where or you can actually take the time to have it changed now so you won't have to worry about it. If you do it yourself it is a simple job that shouldn't take more than a few hours even if you're inexperienced. Invite some friends over(one's that have automotive experience preferably) to help you with the job. Just be sure to offer free pizza and beer. You would be quite shocked as to how well that works actually lol. There are plenty of How-Tos out there and even one on here for the 2.0L Zetec which is similar to the 1.6L. Just print out what you would need to use as a reference guide, get your tools and friends and make a party of it. Also moving this to "General Technical Chat"
Mmmmm excuse my dumbness but where abouts are they ?
ThZnks for the replies , I am new to cars so not sure where abouts is it ?
Kind regards
look at your belts, if they are cracked or ripped or anything, you're going to need to change them out soon, if not you have some time.
belts should be changed out like every 7-8 years anyways,
Thank you for your replies
Hello ,
Thanks for your replies , something to look at getting done just for peace of mind I think , do you think it would be ok until feb when the mot is due ? Not planning on doing more than 5000 miles at very most . Also is the ford zetec 1.6 16v 2001 a non interference engine ? Been reading that it is and then reading its not , anyway never thought I would have ended up in firs focus but after taking lessons in one I feel in love lol . Have a great day.
Kind regards
|just jake
|the timming belts are very common to break if it dose it will send the valves thought the block (engine fed) ford says to replace the belt at 150,000 K in canadain so what ever that is in miles. you would be realy stuiped not to and its not a fun job to do by your self.
|A few things here. You may want to check with a dealer for confirmation. I would change the timing belt at around 100k. thats when iv always changed mine with NO issues. Also, I was told that the focus Ztec(DOHC...U.S. model anyway) was a non-interference engine, meaning that if the belt brakes the internal components will not hit each other.
New Driver. New focus owner , timing belt advice ?
Hello ,
Thankyou for taking the time to read this , I have brought my first car , a ford focus 1.6 zetec 2001 . It has 83,000 miles on the clock very good condition exterior , normal wear and tear inside . The engine sounds so quiet and drives lovely.
Being a first time driver I am eager to learn more about how I service the car . I think the only reason anything will go wrong with it is if I fail the car .
So I been reading lots and noticed that it says about this timing belt needing replacing because if that goes wrong the engine will be damaged .
So onto my main question ? Should I replace the belt ? If I do can it wAit as we just paid out for the car so in a couple of months be better , but don't want to damage the car , are there any symptoms I should keep an eye out for ? Just want to treat her right so she keeps driving so well . MOT had no adversaries on it and is due in feb . I look forward to meeting everyone on here .
Thank you for reading , have a great day.
I love the focus was my car of choice :)
Kind regards

I saw this "game" on another forum and it turned out to be rather fun and creative. If it works, great, if it fizzles here, oh well. Here's how it's played:
1) A challenge is created, which involves finding a picture on the internet that matches the description.
2) Upon successfully completeing the challenge, whoever meets the challenge gets to post their own challenge of a new topic.
(Find a picture of a car on railroad tracks)
someone posts:
Then that person gets to post a new topic!
ta da!
So then, to start off, the first challenge is...
Find a picture of a car with only one tire touching the ground

In today's newspaper, we looked at Lucas Giolito, the Nationals' top prospect, 2012 first-round pick hard-throwing right-hander who is ready for his first full minor league season after Tommy John surgery. Those who know Giolito or have come across him all speak highly of his immense potential and work ethic. Here are some leftover observations that didn't make the story:
>>> Much will be made of his immense size for a 19-year-old — 6 feet 6, 255 pounds — and it should be. He met with reporters on Tuesday morning and, even though he said he hadn't grown in height, appeared taller than in the past. Giolito said he added between 10 and 15 pounds of good weight in the offseason. Because he is so tall, Giolito still looked lean at 255 pounds with room to add more. "A prototypical power pitcher's body," Nationals farm director Mark Scialabba said.
And, in the 11 months in between the operation and returning to a mound in a game, Giolito echoed the same sentiment as other pitchers who underwent Tommy John surgery: he felt stronger after working out more extensively during rehab.
"The Tommy John process allowed me to strengthen a lot of muscles in my arm and become a stronger pitcher and a stronger player mentally, too," he said. "So I feel like I came back stronger than before, definitely."
>>> Here's is a sampling of what baseball publications had to say about Giolito. Baseball America ranked Giolito as the 21st best prospect in baseball. Baseball Prospectus had him as high as No. 13. MLB.com slotted him at No. 44. Giolito is aware of the attention surrounding his potential but has tried to tune it out.
"That stuff's always there," he said. "It's in the background. You see it here and there. It's not something you focus on, because you really have to focus on the important things which are your pitching and where you want to be as an athlete. So it's always there, but it's not a main focus."
Baseball America was optimistic about Giolito's potential: "No one in the minors "just needs innings" more than Giolito, whose pure stuff may be the best on this list but who has just 39 professional innings after being a 2012 first-round pick. A healthy campaign in a full-season rotation is first and foremost."
MLB wrote this: "Giolito throws his fastball in the mid- to upper-90s, often reaching 100 mph. He throws a hard, 12-to-6 curveball that is almost as good as his fastball. His changeup isn't as well developed as his other two pitches, but it has the potential to be a third above-average Major League offering. He has good command and an advanced feel for pitching. If he can stay healthy, Giolito has as much potential as any pitcher in the Minor Leagues."
But Baseball Prospectus, which pointed out some command issues, was the most laudatory of Giolito's potential: "On paper, Giolito has the highest ceiling of any arm in the minors, and that list includes Taijuan Walker and Archie Bradley. It's an almost irresponsible combination of size and stuff, a 6'6'' power righty who can sit in the mid-upper-90s with a lively fastball and back it up with an unhittable hard curveball that can show intense vertical depth.
"He's not far removed from Tommy John surgery and the command profile needs refinement, but the 19-year-old arm should dominate at the A-ball level in 2014, and when the Nationals take the governor off the semi in 2015, Giolito should erupt into the premier arm in baseball, if he doesn't already have claim on that distinction after his full-season debut. This is what it looks like, folks. This is a future no. 1 starter at the major-league level."
>>> Giolito said he spoke often with Taylor Jordan, another hard-throwing right-hander who underwent Tommy John surgery and overlapped with him in the instructional league in 2012. From talking to Jordan, and from charting pitches and pitch sequences while he rehabbed early last season, Giolito said that he made good use of time away from the mound.
>>> Innings are Giolito's biggest weakness. He has thrown only 38 2/3 in his professional career, and only 36 2/3 since surgery. Even though he will be capped this season per team policy, a full and healthy year in a minor league rotation is a must for Giolito. His first uncapped season would then likely be in 2015. For all his potential, Giolito still needs the repetitions and consistency to fulfill them.
"We've got a lot of work to do and he's got a lot of work to do," Scialabba said. "And, potential is one thing but going out there and performing and doing it consistently and building the arm strength is going to take some time."
The Nationals are bullish on Lucas Giolito, their 19-year-old 2012 first-round pick and top prospect who is ready for his first full professional season after Tommy John surgery.

Last Sunday we roadtripped over to Milwaukee to check out the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory (The Domes) for some horticultural excitement. I hadn't been in years, but remember not being impressed the last time I was there. Built in the mid 60′s, The Domes were recently upgraded with new lighting and tons of great plants. Read all about it in a recent WSJ article. They did a great job! I think it may be only conservatory I've been to that offers alcoholic beverages at all times. There are was a little cooler full of beers and single serve white wine for $4.00 a piece. Welcome to Wisconsin!
I'm not 100% sure that this is Ceiba pentandra… I was lazy and didn't take pics of plant tags. Then I spent twenty minutes googling around to figure out what type of Ceiba I took a pic of.
Thanks to Jason the main man of The Palm Broker at Flora Grubb for helping me out in the ID department for these two.
A ginormous relative to the bird-of-paradise, Ravenala madagascariensis has freaky blue seeds with edible appendages.
They have a big Amorphophallus titanum (corpse flower) hanging out next to a bunch of ephiphytes.
The Domes are definitely worth a visit. Zoe slept the entire time we were there. You can check out all our pics on flickr.

'The Flyers saw a vision yesterday of their pending playoff opponent, and it looked a lot like the ghosts of playoffs past. If a 2-1 conquest of Buffalo was a preview of their first-round playoff series with the Sabres, the Flyers have every reason to feel as secure as they did prior to their just-passed seven-game slide, and as confident as any team would be that beat the Sabres in three of four playoff meetings over the prior six years.'

Londre Grabs Another Singles Win in Phoenix Home Loss
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Sophomore Stephanie Londre (Burington, Wis.) earned another victory at No. 1 singles, but the Green Bay women's tennis team wrapped up its six-match homestand with a 6-1 loss to Bradley on Sunday at Western Racquet and Fitness Club.
The Phoenix also dropped a 7-0 decision to IPFW on Saturday.
After falling in the first set (6-3) against Bradley's Adele Henke, Londre charged back with a 6-2 win in the second to force a third-set tiebreaker. Londre continued her strong play, toughing out a 10-7 victory to give her team the point.
Londre now has three singles wins in Green Bay's last four matches.
The Braves started the match by sweeping the doubles point, and won each of the other five singles contests in straight sets.
IPFW won each of the three doubles matches and all six singles matches in Saturday's contest.
Green Bay is next in action with what is technically a road contest against crosstown foe St. Norbert College on Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Green Bay Tennis Center. The Phoenix then hosts Valparaiso later that same day at 6:30 p.m. at Western Racquet. The weekend wraps up with a 2 p.m. contest against UIC on Sunday.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers

I can see that you printed on the "back" as well. I was going to put a second set of images on the back of the sheet so the zine could be "reversible." Alas, I was nervous that the folds would not line up correctly, so I put one large image on the back, sort of a fold out "free" poster, albeit with a slit cut in the center.
What did you do? Did the folds work out for you?


text: Has anyone here retreated at the International Dhamma Hermitage - Wat Suan Mokkh in Chaiya, Thailand? If so, I"m curious what your experience was with the center. I'm fine with squat toilets, pot bathing, sleeping on the floor, sleeping outside, etc...but I'm no spring chicken anymore - I prefer clean water and reasonably sanitary food preparation facilities, and a well-managed retreat schedule. From the pics on the website, it looks downright swank, but any feedback would be helpful. thanks.

Though it's another undead/zombie/evil monster shooter, it's great to see another (what seems to be) co-op centric game coming.
Seems the trailers I've watched had misleading titles. Each one had only PS4/Xbone as the consoles for this game.
Well looks like it's being made by former Darksiders people.

Overall it's something to keep an eye out for. I'm a bit concerned though about it being F2P, but I'm not about to automatically dismiss it if they do make the co-op and gameplay look fun and the random gen stuff interesting.
Messing around.

Wow.. this looks suuuper slow-paced. o.O
Reminds me heavily of Haunted Hell's Reach but much more customizable. Definitely something I want to try out.

"We used this design for our daughter's 16th movie/dinner birthday party invite. Pink, bright colors aren't her style so this card suited her perfectly. The pearl finish gave the card a nice sheen that added a feeling of girly, glamour. Thanks Tiny!"
"I used this as my wedding announcement/invitation to our reception held at an art museum & received rave reviews! I love the lower case text & easy personalization. I added a picture of us on the back (which people loved) along with registry info. So many compliments!"
"We personalized the text to make this an invitation for my father's retirement party. The envelopes that come with the card are either white or brown. It would have been nice to have an off-white that matches the cardstock color, or a lined envelope. Overall, a very unique design and swift delivery."
"I received so many compliments on my party invitation. As I received rsvp's, people would add, "and that invitation was adorable!!" I will definitely order again. Also, customer service was great. They even helped me with the wording on the invite."
"This was an invite to a book party for a group of authors. We got good reviews of the invite itself from several of the invitees. The design was really nice, and your customer service was terrific. Thanks."
