How to Know the Holy Spirit?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church # 688 says: "The Church, a communion living in the faith of the apostles which she transmits, is the place where we know the Holy Spirit:
-- in the Scriptures he inspired;
-- in the Tradition, to which the Church Fathers are always timely witnesses;
-- in the Church's Magisterium, which he assists;
-- in the sacramental liturgy, through its words and symbols, in which the Holy Spirit puts us into com-munion with Christ;
-- in prayer, wherein he intercedes for us;
-- in the charisms and ministries by which the Church is built up;
-- in the signs of apostolic and missionary life;
-- in the witness of saints through whom he manifests his holiness and continues the work of salvation."
"It is clear therefore that, in the supremely wise arrangement of God, sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church are so connected and associated that one of them cannot stand without the others. Working together, each in its own way, under the action of the one Holy Spirit, they all contribute effectively to the salvation of souls." Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraph #95

Spiritual Reading
The above quote with emphasis added in italics, expresses the attitude and goal of this website, to remain faithful to the truth and spiritual guidance handed down and explained through the centuries through the official teachings of the Catholic Church, which was founded on Peter and the apostles by Jesus Christ himself to teach and preach the truth about God and our salvation.
God has an individual plan for each of our lives which varies from person to person and, at the same time, He also created general laws and principles which apply to all people in all ages. God and his ways are eternal, true and relevant regardless of the latest throughts of the modern culture.
In spiritual direction the goal is to seek discernment of how the Holy Spirit is leading in one's own particular life. At the same time we can recognize that God has already revealed much of what we need to know in the Bible and the official teachings of the Church. It is important for us to study and meditate upon the truths that God has publicly revealed as an ongoing part of seeking God's guidance for our own life. Some links to Church teachings and the writings of the Saints are here. Also, click here if interested in information on a personal online spiritual formation course called "Seeking Union with God", which gives an overview of developing the spiritual life.

CatholicSpiritualDirection.org facilitates personal spiritual direction in the (Roman) Catholic tradition through the internet, by e-mail and by telephone, in order to provide this ministry to those who are unable (by reason of job, family situation, or location) to have the benefit of direction face-to-face. CSD enlists the help of trained, practicing Catholic spiritual directors who have formally committed to remain faithful to the Magisterium of the Church and to abide by an established written code of ethics for spiritual directors. CSD also provides internet-based resources on topics related to spiritual direction (including links to books and articles, the Vatican website, and official Church teachings), a free monthly e-mail newsletter, and online classes on spiritual formation and the Catholic faith.
Spiritual Direction over the Internet
By Father Ambrose
"I think it's quite possible to provide spiritual direction via the net, and I know of many who give and receive direction in this way. But it helps to actually know each other first, and a telephone call from time to time helps, too. It's hard to find directors these days, and so the internet can be a tremendous tool. Someone else suggested to me that one of the positive aspects of having to commit thoughts to written words (whether one is the director or the directee) is that one becomes very careful and more precise about how words are used. One thinks things through in a much more thorough way, too, than might happen in a conversation. Or at least it SHOULD happen that way. We live in a time of very careless use of language.
Except for the spiritual letters of direction by Fenelon, I'm not familiar with the Roman Catholic tradition in this regard, but there are fine examples of spiritual direction via regular snail-mail correspondence in the Orthodox Church. Some have even been published. Perhaps others will point out examples from the Western tradition. Anyway, my point is that if spiritual direction could be given by regular correspondence, then it can surely be done via email, too."
CatholicSpiritualDirection.org is not officially affiliated with the Catholic Church, and we make no claim to speak or teach on behalf of the Catholic Church, but our intention is to be faithful to Jesus Christ and the magisterium of the Catholic Church. The purpose of this website is to point others to the authentic teachings of the Catholic Church, the Bible and the Saints in order to help others learn and practice the Catholic faith and progress in the spiritual life.

"I have made this several times, and I varied it a little bit each time, such as using zucchini and sometimes tomatoes. I also have used a whole cut-up chicken instead of just the drumsticks and thighs. I have varied the seasonings, too, such as using turmeric and cumin. It is a versatile recipe and always pleases my family when I serve it."

I own a place at the coast where it would be easy to take many buffle heads and scaups. I would never let my son shoot anything we were not going to eat (unless a opposum or starling). Does anybody have some advice on these birds? Are they good to eat if prepared the same as more common (green heads/pintail...etc)?
My plan is to take my son out on the marsh rat and get him into some ducks soon.

Forget Black Friday & Cyber Monday
Thanksgiving kicks off a busy season. The sales of Black Friday have been an American tradition for many, many years. Recently, the addition of Cyber Monday has added to the consumerism mindset - only with an online shopping flavor. Maybe this year we could make a difference by trying something different when Tuesday, November 27th rolls around?
All too often we find ourselves caught up in the frenzy—plotting what to buy, wondering how to decorate, and calculating how much we must work out so that we can indulge in all those delicious seasonal treats. It's exhausting! And, when we allow ourselves to be convicted, we will realize just how far we've strayed from the true reason for the season.
Consider Multnomah Student Aid
We invite you to join with us in creating a counter-cultural #GivingTuesday on November 27th. Start the giving season off right with a gift to Multnomah University—a gift that equips students to share the Christmas story all year long.
The Video
Join us in preparing the heart and mind to keep Christ in focus all season long by consciously choosing to reflect the light of Christ. To participate in our MU Giving Tuesday options please feel free to visit our website.

Adnan Oktar's work is described in these terms on the web site www.harunyahya.com:
0000-00-00 00:00:00
"… The fossil record is perhaps the most important evidence that demolishes the theory of evolution"s claims. Fossils reveal that life forms on Earth have never undergone even the slightest change and have never developed into one another. Examining the fossil record, we see that living things are exactly the same today as they were hundreds of millions of years ago—in other words, that they never underwent evolution. Even during the most ancient periods, life forms emerged suddenly with all their complex structures–with the perfect and superior features, just as do their counterparts today.
This demonstrates one indisputable fact: Living things did not come into being through the imaginary processes of evolution. All the living things that have ever existed on Earth were created by God. This fact of creation is once again revealed in the traces left behind them by flawless living things.
This book will provide you with not only such information as what fossils are and where and how they are found, but also a closer examination of a variety of fossil specimens, millions of years old, that are still able to declare, "We never underwent evolution; we were created." The fossils discussed and illustrated in this book are just a few examples of the hundreds of millions of specimens that prove the fact of creation. And even these few are enough to prove that the theory of evolution is a major hoax and deception in the history of science."
The author points to fern, salamander and insect fossils that lived millions of years ago and to specimens living today as "evidence." One example states: "Ferns have kept their same structure since the day they were created. Ferns that have remained the same for approximately 300 million years are one piece of evidence verifying the invalidity of the evolution theory." …

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Apr 2, 2009.
PLEASE change irregardless to regardless. Thanks :-)
Ok, you asked nicely.
Joe will fire Michael Curry. I don't think Joe's ego is bigger than his desire for success. He's proven that through his past mistakes (Darko, Nazmo, Flip, etc.). Joe Dumars has proven himself to be a winner.
They are friends. However, I cannot see Joe keeping him if they do not make the playoffs. That will test the friendship, but I think he will be fired.
Can't see it happening, especially if Joe signs a decent FA. Curry messed up teaching Stuckey how to play point. He never earned the respect of the team. And his lineups are scatter shot. Hopefully, this is the year Joe finally gives Big Bill his shot.
Where is your vote?
I like to vote late or not at all on polls, even though my opinion is usually set. I'm not sure it is ethical for the pollster to participate in his own poll, I am quite sure it is not ethical for him to be a front runner in the poll. It could skew the results.
I completely agree. Okay, we've got 42 votes, so go ahead and vote.
Done. I don't like it, I don't agree with it, but ...
Yea, here is one poll where we hope we were wrong. Have a nice day.
The reason is simple, from my point of view but 2009 is the seasson of defeats and reconstruction over victories.In this scenario, Curry can lead a few months until January / February if the team does not meet expectations now that Curyy know more detroit roster,meanwhile Joe can take the medium-term reconstruction decissions this summer.At mid-season, with a defined project for 2010 Joe can offer a coach for players to ask for your style, explaining his style of play and see the players at the end of the 2009 season to get started with the project approach in 2010.That's why I think Curry will continue a few months to test whether you can do better, and especially to complete the transition to the new project, maybe winning team in 2010.
Curry will stay. Some players like Max, AA and Amir will be traded during summer thinking they were the main reason why this season failed (no quality players/bench). Then halfway through the next season all of the traded players have emerged with their current teams and are playing as quality (bench)players. Detroit is still playing crap basketball at that time and Joe realises it wasn't the players but the coach(ing staff) and fires Curry.
- Yeah cause you wouldn't want to hurt any bodies feelings. Or confuse their empty heads with and in-doctored opinion.
I don't expect AI for the playoffs now. Allen Iverson, Pistons didn't blend well, Curry says | detnews.com | The Detroit News
They already said he will miss the playoffs. Pistons send Allen Iverson home for rest of season | detnews.com | The Detroit News
and if the Pistons lose today, then you might say the same for his team mates if they have not already quit on Curry and show no passion in the next four games...
I lol'd. I can see MC coming back for next year.
Will Bynum wants to save Curry's Job......Curry to start Bynum rest of the season...
It won't happen man... Curry isn't smart enough to realize it. His job is probably safe anyways, much to my chagrin.

My fiance is wanting to cosplay with me at the next con we go to, or just for a costume party we go to. She wants a Leia Gold bikini. Which is fine by me lol. But we live in Canada and it gets cold come October. So i suggested a Twi lek. I know that's not much better for clothing. But if its a cold night she can change the style of cloths for her twi lek costume to suit the weather.
I've looked all over the web and can't find anything good on how to make the lekku or what a good body paint is. If anyone has any good leads that would be great. I would like to stay away for the pantie hose idea some people have had as it looks to fluffy and out of shape.

Okay, so I figured I should ask the experts about this.
I've been searching hi and lo for the shirt in the below pic. The one the fan is wearing, not Daniel Logan. It is an 'I Am A Hunter' T-Shirt.
I always find one on eBay, but it's bright orange with green logo & print. I want one exactly like the one in the picture as it is my absolute favorite color combination.
Anybody have a lead or suggestions?

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks (IJDSN) is a JCR ranked, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on applied research and applications of sensor networks. A large number of important applications depend on sensor networks interfacing with the real world. These applications include medical, military, manufacturing, transportation, safety and environmental planning systems. Many have been difficult to realize because of problems involved with inputting data from sensors directly in to automated systems. Sensor fusion in the context of distributed sensor networks has emerged as the method of choice for resolving these problems.
This journal also acts as a medium for exchanging ideas and thoughts about impacts of sensor networks research. More importantly the goal of this journal is to provide a forum for the publication of important research contributions in developing high performance computing solutions to problems arising from the complexities of these sensor network systems.

- Further information
International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks is an Open Access, peer-reviewed journal. Each article accepted by peer review is made freely available online immediately upon publication, is published under a Creative Commons license and will be hosted online in perpetuity. Publication costs of the journal are covered by the collection of article processing charges which are paid by the funder, institution or author of each manuscript upon acceptance. There is no charge for submitting a paper to the journal.
For general information on Open Access at SAGE please visit the Open Access page or view our Open Access FAQs.
2. Article processing charge (APC)
If, after peer review, your manuscript is accepted for publication, a one-time article processing charge (APC) is payable. This APC covers the cost of publication and ensures that your article will be freely available online in perpetuity under a Creative Commons licence.
The article processing charge (APC) is $2000 (+ VAT where applicable*).
*If the paying party is based in the European Union, to comply with European law, value added tax (VAT) must be added to the APC. Providing a VAT registration number will allow an institution to be exempt from paying this tax, except for UK institutions.
Research Article: Describes a piece of complete or substantially complete research, or some aspect of design development, or engineering education
Review Article: A critical review of the state-of-the-art with examples of applications in design and profitable manufacture without extensive analysis
Special Issue Article: This may be a Research Article or a Review Article that is appropriate for the subject matter of the Special Issue. Any article deemed not to be appropriate for the subject matter of a Special Issue will be considered for standard publication
4.1 Peer review policy and Workflow
Once a manuscript is submitted for publication, the manuscript is checked by the journal's editorial office to ensure that it is suitable to go through the normal peer review process. Once this is done, the manuscript is sent to an appropriate Editor based on the subject of the manuscript and the availability of the Editors. All manuscripts shall be handled by an Editor who does not have any potential conflict of interest with any of the manuscript's authors.
If the Editor finds that the manuscript may not be of sufficient quality to go through the normal peer review process, or that the subject of the manuscript may not be appropriate for the journal's scope, the manuscript shall be rejected with no further processing.
If the Editor finds that the submitted manuscript is of sufficient quality and falls within the scope of the journal, they should assign the manuscript to at least two external reviewers for peer-review, provided that no conflict of interests exists between these reviewers and the manuscript's authors. The reviewers will then submit their reports on the manuscript along with their recommendation to the Editor.
When all reviewers have submitted their reports, the Editor can make one of the following editorial recommendations:
- Accept
- Minor Revision
- Major Revision
- Reject
If the Editor recommends "Accept," the manuscript will undergo a final check by the journal's editorial office in order to ensure that the manuscript and its review process adhere to the journal's guidelines and policies. Once this is done, the authors will be notified of the manuscript's acceptance.
If the Editor recommends "Minor Revision" or "Major Revision", the authors are requested to revise their manuscript in accordance with the changes recommended by the reviewers and to submit their revised manuscript in a timely manner. Authors are requested to upload a detailed reply to the reviewer comments along with the revised version of their manuscript. The Editor reviews the revised manuscript after the revisions have been made by the authors. Once the Editor is satisfied with the final manuscript, the manuscript can be accepted.
If the Editor recommends rejecting the manuscript, the rejection is immediate. Also, if the majority of the reviewers recommend rejecting the manuscript, the rejection is immediate.
The editorial workflow gives the Editors the authority to reject any manuscript because of inappropriateness of its subject, lack of quality, or incorrectness of its results. The Editor cannot assign himself/herself as an external reviewer of the manuscript. This is to ensure a high-quality, fair, and unbiased peer-review process of every manuscript submitted to the journal, since any manuscript must be recommended by two or more external reviewers along with the Editor in charge of the manuscript in order for it to be accepted for publication in the journal.
We are committed to providing timely assessment of articles and authors are informed of the publication decision as soon as possible.
The name of the Editor recommending the manuscript for publication is published with the manuscript to indicate and acknowledge their invaluable contribution to the peer-review process and the indispensability of their contributions to the running of the journals.
It should be noted that our refereeing process, common to many other publishers, is single-blind, that is, the referees remain anonymous and their identities are not released to authors. The referees, however, are informed of the authors' names and affiliations.
In order to ensure sufficient diversity within the authorship of the journal, authors will be limited to having two manuscripts under review at any point in time. If an author already has two manuscripts under review in the journal, he or she will need to wait until the review process of at least one of these manuscripts is complete before submitting another manuscript for consideration. This policy does not apply to Editorials.
Papers should only be submitted for consideration once consent is given by all contributing authors. Those submitting papers should carefully check that all those whose work contributed to the paper are acknowledged as contributing authors.
The list of authors should include all those who can legitimately claim authorship. This is all those who:
(i) Made a substantial contribution to the concept and design, acquisition of data or analysis and interpretation of data,
(ii) Drafted the article or revised it critically for important intellectual content,
(iii) Approved the version to be published.
Authors should meet the conditions of all of the points above. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content.
When a large, multicentre group has conducted the work, the group should identify the individuals who accept direct responsibility for the manuscript. These individuals should fully meet the criteria for authorship.
Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group alone does not constitute authorship, although all contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in the Acknowledgments section. Please refer to the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) authorship guidelines for more information on authorship.
4.4 Acknowledgements
All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an Acknowledgements section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, or a department chair who provided only general support.
4.4.1 Writing assistance
Individuals who provided writing assistance, e.g. from a specialist communications company, do not qualify as authors and so should be included in the Acknowledgements section. Authors must disclose any writing assistance – including the individual's name, company and level of input – and identify the entity that paid for this assistance).
It is not necessary to disclose use of language polishing services.
Any acknowledgements should appear first at the end of your article prior to your Declaration of Conflicting Interests (if applicable), any notes and your References.
International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks requires all authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading. Please visit the Funding Acknowledgements page on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway to confirm the format of the acknowledgment text in the event of funding, or state that: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
4.6 Declaration of conflicting interests
It is the policy of International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks to require a declaration of conflicting interests from all authors enabling a statement to be carried within the paginated pages of all published articles.
Please ensure that a 'Declaration of Conflicting Interests' statement is included at the end of your manuscript, after any acknowledgements and prior to the references. If no conflict exists, please state that 'The Author(s) declare(s) that there is no conflict of interest'.
For guidance on conflict of interest statements, please see the ICMJE recommendations.
Authors should use only citations that are relevant to their manuscripts and which directly and significantly contribute to the scholarly content of the paper. Addition of citations, including those suggested by reviewers, which are not relevant to the work is strongly discouraged. Any citation(s) added to your manuscript at the revision stage should be accompanied by an explanation of why these are the most relevant to the submitted manuscript. Authors should not include citations to their own (or their associates') work merely to increase their (or their associates') citation count or to enhance the visibility of their or their associates' work.
SAGE is committed to upholding the integrity of the academic record. We encourage authors to refer to the Committee on Publication Ethics' International Standards for Authors and view the Publication Ethics page on the SAGE Author Gateway.

Hello there. Here are a few tips to reduce weight. 1. Drink lots of water. 2. High protein, low carbohydrate diet must be followed. 3. Intake of calories should be less than the daily requirement, and you should get most of the calories from fruits and vegetables. 4. Avoid rice and rice products. Green tea twice a day. 5. Burn more calories than you have taken. Cardio workout must be followed. Any form of excercise which keeps your heart rate raised to a level of 140-150 burns fat effectively. 6. If you are very dedicated and follow all these sincerely you would be able to lose 7kgs in 2-3 months. All the best. Regards

The subject is a bit melodramatic, but the more I have researched the more I believe we could have done this on our own. Got a hunting trip in Brocket later this year, late Oct/beginning Nov. Hunting with a few older guys who don't get around as well as they used to so we went with a guide.
I know, I know...but not having been to ND, it made sense for this group at the time. But having read the forums, done some more research, talked to a few guys, it appears freelance is the way to go and I now see the error of my ways (so to speak).
A few of us (not the old men) have decided to go early and put in the work, scout, hopefully get permission, and do some all-American hunting. I am not looking for places or tips or hints on where to hunt. However, for those that have done something like this before a "must have" list is what I need help with. We are looking to freelance 3-4 days before everyone else joins up.
here is what I have so far and this is at a minimum - feel free to hit me with feedback!
-phones and batteries
-2 way radio
-recovery straps, shovels, etc
-binoculars and range finder
-plot books, maps, etc (got a book that is a few years old from another guy who used to freelance in ND)
-extra diesel tanks (don't want to run out of fuel)
-assortment of decoys (FBs and floaters of all kinds) and hunting gear for various hunting situations
-enclosed trailer to haul it all around in
-sleeping bags (just in case)
I have a list for misc stuff and I am sure I am missing some things. Any help is appreciated. Layouts? 4wheeler?

Hello~ I am using Windows 7 Ultimate on my Lenovo T500. My microphone suddenly stopped working. Why is that? It is not detecting any sound at all in the microphone setup screen or on skype even though it is the only device and it is selected. I have Conexant 20561 Smartaudio HD and drivers 126.96.36.199 released on 10/6/2009. It just recently stopped working. No sound is detected. Help! Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello There,
I also facing the same problems, I will just add more into that as follow:
System: W700
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit)
Audio: Conexant 20561 SmartAudio HD (Version 18.104.22.168 Dated: 10/6/2009)
When I restart computer and loginto Skype first call is ok than second call mic volume is dramatically decreases and finally no mic.
I when to windows control panel to further investigate the issue, and chose to setup microphone in speech recognition, it does not listen (it does detect the microphone but can't listen) after few tries it works.
Than i googled my problem and got this answer from Lenovo ( http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen
Where it says:
Conexant Audio Driver for Windows Vista (32-bit, 64-bit)
|Release Date:
And it states the fixes about following:
Version 22.214.171.124 (Vista) / 220.127.116.11 (XP)
Now i think Lenovo should do some thing about it.
OMG, that 's exactly what happened to me. I have tried with older drivers and everything works!! But the only problem is not WQHL certified. My windows 7 has problem to load it. So definitely it is the driver problem. LENOVO, DO SOMETHING!!
i was able to fix this problem by going to the skype ( tools->options->audio settings ) menu
and then unmarked the "automatically adjust microphone settings" mark box.
Afterwards i re-adjusted the microphone sensitivity
by: ( going to sound in the control panel -> recording -> i then double clicked the internal mic -> levels )
and here you can adjust the boost and sensitivity
I had the same problem.
My steps:
Control Panel > Speech Recognition > Advanced speech options > Microphone > Advanced...
And checked real Conexant 20561 SmartAudio.
After that action my microphone will start working properly.
It seems that the Conexant 20561 drive doesn't work well in windows 7.
The only way I could fix it was to unistall the driver then reboot. Windows 7 put a generic driver in that works fine.
I recently had the same problem with my Lenovo G560 notebook running windows 7. I think the driver had become disabled and I could not enable it or detect the microphone until I did the following
Go to Control Panel
Systen and Security
Action Center
Trouble Shoot common computer problems
Hardware and Sound
Trouble shoot audio recording
Page then says 'Recording audio'
Click next
Page then says 'Detecting Problems'....
follow on from this
I have a thinkpad x201i, but the same Conexant 20585 SmartAudio HD.
The microphone is activated, both volumes are at max, I disabled the audio enhancement as adviced here and also tried the "action center" trick. But none of these worked.
I use to skype a lot with it, sometimes I wouldn't work and then during the conversation work again. I also changed skype's settings as adviced here :
disabled the "windows detects communication" option too.
I've downloaded the latest driver from lenovo
uninstalled the material, earased the .inf files form windows/inf folder so I can install the driver I want (couldn't get the default windows driver though..maybe a hint but I don't know how to do this)
none of the above worked.
The sound indicator next to the microphone in the recording device tab reacts when I clap my hand very hard, the level seems to be very very low, but I can't find how it's possible.
Thank you for your help,
Hi everyone
I have the same problem. I'm using a lenovo T400 with Conexant 20561 and Windows 7. My micro isn't working at all, although windows doesn't recognise any problems (device working properly), it don't record anything. I tried all proposed changes, clicked everything on and off (automatic volume adjustion etc.), no effect. I'm a little bit lost here, no idea what else I could do. Is there anyone who could help me??
How do I know if it's a software (driver for example) or a hardware problem?
Thanks to everyone in advance!

I'm looking for someone who writes in poetry/poetric prose style to join my little team of collaborators. We're 3 illustrators and 2 writers right now, with a couple other people contributing inspiration.
Message me if you're interested in joining us and I'll fill you in on the details and such :)
I have some copies of Vapour Trails #1. It's $2 if you're in Montreal, $3 if you're not. Definitely down for trades. You can message me here or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com and we can figure out the stuff.
Here's the intro:
"Issue #1 of Vapour Trails was written between the years 2009 & 2011, during the dying & death of an eight year long romantic relationship. Considering the backdrop for a lot of this writing, themes that crop up tend to revolve around loneliness, loss, nostalgia, awakening, and various introspections."
Includes some poetry and poetic-type rants, lots of drawings, lots of emotions.
thanks a lot!
Hi Zena,
Check Concordia Co-op Bookstore and Monastiraki. Do you know St-Emilie Skillshare? Many zinesters work/hang out there. Don't miss Expozine in November. For indie magazines, Drawn & Quarterly and Librerie Formats.
hello group... this doesn't look too active but i thought i'd give it a shot. i just moved to montreal a few months ago. i'm pretty new here and don't know much about the city or know many people. i was wondering where it is in montreal you can go to find 'zines or even a lot of indie established magazines?
Anybody know when Expo zine is this year?? I am planning on booking a table.
howdy montreal folks... hoping you'll be able to assist:) trying to track down shelley forget who created the awesome zine 'mixtape'. i think she put out 5 copies between 2005-2007? i reside in canberra, australia and came across her zines at the national library archive. thought they were super awesome, and would like to get some copies myself. if anyone has any contact details, please pm me:) cheers, nat
Hi all. I'm in charge of The Original Universe, a zine about comicbooks made here in Montreal. I won an Aurora award for it in 2009.
Unfortunately Expozine isn't accessible to me (stairs) so I can't attend. :(

I don't think it's a bit secret that I'm a very big fan of the '11+ Mustangs. However, when they came out, I owned a crossfire that I was reasonably happy with and didn't see any point in getting rid of the car at that point. Well, ffwd to about March of 2011, where, courtesy of the incompetent a-holes at D'Ambrosio Chrysler in Downingtown, PA said crossfire visits the repair shop every 2 week up until two days ago. That includes about 2 weeks where they had the car. And let's not forget the driver of a flatbed who backed into the car AT THE DEALER causing $8200 in damage (tech was partially at fault here IMO, as he parked the car in the middle of the parking lot!). So to say I quickly soured on the c-fire is an understatement. So low and behold, I test drive a current model Mustang GT and fall in love. However, I wanted a base model car and there were none available in a 3 state radius. So I ended up ordering the car and after 2 months and 2 weeks (those 2 weeks were due to having to wait for parts for the crossfire, getting the part installed, and then going back again because the repair wasn't done right! ).
So anyway today was delivery day for the Mustang.
I traded this in:
For this:
At the dealer:
Random places:
I love this car! It's so fun to drive and as a result put about 100 miles on it today. The car just screams when you get up in the RPMs (though I didn't go past 4500 rpms yet) and the shifter is currently in excellent working order. Super smooth and easy to use. I can use 1 finger to move between the gears.
Base car
Brembo package
Security package
3.55 rear end
I'd write a bit more, but I'm going back out to drive it. But if anyone has any questions, let me know.
Flame away!

This magnificent Vintage "Juliette" Emerald Necklace and Earrings was inspired by Marjorie Merriweather Post's spectacular Columbian emerald necklace.

Courts are government institutions that administer justice in criminal and civil matters. They're mediated by one or more judges, magistrates or justices who have been appointed or elected.
Courts rely on an adversarial system of justice, which is intended to resolve disputes with fair and impartial outcomes. Their primary purpose is to decide questions of law and determine facts. Attorneys for each side present arguments and introduce evidence to support their arguments.
In some court cases, the final judgment is handed down by a jury of citizens chosen through a selection process. In other cases, a judge makes the final ruling. Cases may be heard in criminal court, civil court, or appellate court.

Yeah, that guy has been very motivational for me. For awhile, I pretty much dropped my cartoony style because I didn't see any future with it. He inspired me to bring it back (well, he wasn't the only reason, but he had a major impact- actually, these woot derbies had a huge impact on that too). This looks like something straight out of my old sketch books (the original inked version... before I scanned it and added color), and I am glad I have taken steps back because drawing this kind of stuff is really fun!

It could work on light blue, for sure. I didn't want to use too much color tho, mostly just for my own tastes. Really wanted the black to pop and nothing makes black stand out as much as white.
I wanna add that the first time I saw this (on Threadless), I was absolutely blown away. This is seriuosly a fantastic piece of work. I really really hope that the voters rally around this, because it's a piece truly deserving to be made real.

From AragoWiki
Q: Why do some image recipes require MACHINE definition?
For example
$ bitbake x11-image
results in this error
| ============================================================================ | Arago is a virtual machine for multiple platforms and it can't have a kernel | Please specify MACHINE=... on the command line with the actual machine name | for which to build the kernel, e.g. MACHINE=omap3evm bitbake virtual/kernel | ============================================================================
- A: The reason is because upstream images (e.g. x11-image and opie-image) depend on kernel modules.
This brings in the whole kernel in to the build. But in Arago the default machine is "arago", which is a unified OMAP/DaVinci virtual machine and has a protection against building an unknown kernel. Specific kernels are supposed to be built with proper machine specified through the MACHINE= variable. That also prevents kernel images from getting into /boot directory of the filesystem.
One way for you would be to build a machine-specific filesystem image by setting MACHINE= to something meaningful, like davinci-dvevm:
$ MACHINE=davinci-dvevm bitbake x11-image
Q: Is there a mailing list or IRC channel?


text:
First off, let me say that I tend to be an optimistic fan. I usually try to see the bright side of things and I think we'll field a team with great talent and chemistry this season. However, there are a few things that our very disconcerting about this team.
First, the positive:
I think Steve McNair is going to be a great quarterback for us. He brings intangibles to the table that are rare in this league; he's a field general with ice water running through his veins. Any physical shortcomings that he may or may not currently possess are fairly irrelevant. He's accurate enough and has enough arm strength. Boller WILL prove to be a very viable option at back-up and should lead us to at least a .500 record if/when he plays this season.
To run through the other encouraging things about our team, I'd say that our skill positions on offense are locked down. Mason, Clayton, Heap, Jamal, MA, and Musa CAN provide much needed offensive production given the opportunity. Demetrius Williams and Devard Darling are exciting, and Justin Green should prove to be a good and versatile fullback.
The defense can be great this season with a much improved D-line, a solid linebacking core with a plethora of tweener guys, and one of the best STARTING secondaries in professional football. Depth at LB is good and the depth on the D-line is fantastic. I have more faith in the secondary's depth than I did last year. Corey Ivy, Ronnie Prude, David Pittman, and Gerome Sapp should do the trick just fine.
Now, the bad:
The offensive line, the offensive line, and the offensive line. Chris Forrester has the track record of being one of the worst offensive line coaches in the NFL. In Miami his O-line was second-to-last in sacks allowed and dead-last in rush yards per game (thanks 24x7). Our running game last season was practically non-existent and we still couldn't pass protect worth a damn. We can HOPE that his system is better understood between the players this year, but I'm doubtful.
Next, as so many of us have expressed, the starters on the line are very questionable to say the least. Ogden is the least of our worries but he's aging; he's still a top 10 tackle, but not for long. Mulitalo doesn't get a free pass from me because he played so poorly last year. Hopefully his weight-loss and improved physique will allow him to return to old form, but I'm skeptical. Both of these guys will need to be replaced in the near future.
Mike Flynn could quite possibly be the WORST starting center in the NFL. Physical incompetence is his problem. He is unable to compete with the good-to-great defensive lineman in this league. But for some obscure reason, Brian Billick continues to be blindly loyal to him.
Keydrick Vincent is also a below-average guard. He's been given another chance to start this season, probably because there was no action taken in the offseason to improve the weakest link of this team. I don't buy that Chris Chester or Jason Brown could not take his job. In fact, I think Brian Rimpf is better suited than Keydrick Vincent to start at RG.
Tony Pashos will get his chance with me and I'm hoping for the best. He's young and I think he or Adam Terry should start at RT, though I wouldn't have been opposed to nabbing a ready-to-go RT in the draft, or Mike Williams from the Bills.
Once we realized the offensive line would NOT be overhauled this offseason (which it should have been), we look for reasons why. I came to the conclusion that our coaches would be confident in our young guys to start: Jason Brown, Chris Chester, and Adam Terry. After all, we drafted two of them in the second round and one of them was a 1st team All-American with incredible strength numbers and top-notch credentials. I figured there was no way they would keep the same players on the field as last year. Welp, I was wrong.
The fact of the matter is that Ozzie has not been drafting enough lineman, and too many "projects" at that. There have been no significant FA signings for the line and I'm afraid the RIGHT lineman aren't being drafted. We have been employing one of the worst OL coaches in the NFL and we have inexplicably taken no initiative to adjust one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL. It seems that there has been absolutely NO effort in fixing this brewing problem.
I TRUELY hope I'm wrong about this. I think this current line (unless Terry, Brown, and/or Chester start), will be responsible for a lack of offensive production this season. And if Terry, Brown, and Chester actually aren't good enough to start, I'd venture to say that we truely aren't drafting that right guys for our OL. Furthermore, I'd like to know what it will take for this organization to take notice.
I'm open to opposing viewpoints on this issue. I hope someone can prove me wrong and show me the light because this current starting lineup looks like shit right now.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
here is a video of the reverse camber whoa man in action. not me.
Review: 2011 Zion Whoa Man
Looking for a different company I stumbled upon Zion snowboards. After talking to him about possibly repping his company here in the Midwest he sent me a board to try. So here is my review. I want to say i have only ridden probably 5 boards overall so dont call me an expert.
What they say: The WHOA! MAN SERIES is designed to be a forgiving and super fun Jib/Park board and all around buttery funstick. This board is designed to work well with guys and girls, we call it our unisex line. It is built with a no-nonsense, no-gimmick attitude, using solid materials that are durable, yet forgiving. This series uses our HD22 Glass System which is a heavy duty yet light weight glass to better handle all the jibs you can throw. If you are looking for an all around fun board that won't beat you up when you make mistakes, this is the board for you. The graphics that you see on this board come straight from the mind of the one and only Tad Carpenter. Tad is an amazing artist and friend of our lead designer. We are very stoked to be working with him. This series is available in 142, 147, 152, 155, 157 and 159 in regular camber and 148, 151 and 154 in rockered camber.
Retail Price: $325
Rider info: Weight: 180lbs Height: 6'3" Boot size: 13 Angles: -15/15 Type of rider: Park rat Bindings: ride contraband
Board specs: Size: 155 / WAIST 25.6 / NOSE AND TAIL 30.3 / EFFECTIVE EDGE 120.0 / SIDECUT 760 / STANCE 20-25 INCHES
Where i rode it at: Ive put probably more than 10 days on this board and ive ridden at keystone, breckenridge and perfect north slopes
On snow photo:
My preconceived notions: He didnt have a bigger size for me and i was worried about the waist width on this 155. It was the smallest board I had ever ridden and it being small for me i figured it would be a noodle since it is a park board anyway. Also i love reverse camber but they didnt have any left.
Flex: felt softer than my parkstar but that didnt seem to have an effect on charging down the hill.
Pop: This was either me just coming off a reverse camber board or it could have just been the board, but it felt like this board had alot of pop for a board i thought was going to be a noodle. I had ridden a k2 parkstar the year before and i felt like i was able to get more pop off this board. It also seem like this board had a ton of camber just from looking at its profile.
Butterability: This board was pretty easy to butter for a cambered board could hold tail butters pretty easily. I didnt detune the edges enough the first couple weeks so i did catch a bunch of edges getting myself used to being back on a cambered deck.
Edge to edge: Once again it might just be me coming off a wide model but this board was very quick side to side. Probably because its width was only 25.6 but still it was very quick and i loved it. I also felt it easier on hand rails because i felt like i could center the board on rail much easier. Also Id like to note I dont think ive washed out much on this board even in the midwest. The edges came pretty sharp and I didnt think to detune them untill part way through the year.
Pressing: Its probably just me not knowing how to press right but this board was harder for me to get a press than my parkstar. I think i would have been happier on a reverse camber board.
Rail riding: I had forgotten to detune my edges and at first was unhappy with how catchy the board was on rail. I then remembered to detune it and I haven't had a problem since then.
Stability: I keep hearing the talk about park boards not being able to charge. Maybe it was just me but I havent had any problem charging on this thing. Ive gotten it up to around 35 mph without much problems, but it could be that im just used to park boards but I also have found my parkstar feels more lose than this board and the parkstar is suppose to be pretty stable. Not to mention that all zion boards are built to handle the whole mountian.
My thoughts: I really like this board for a camber board. It seems pretty durable too. I ride alot of rails and so far this board has held up better than my delaming parkstar. I feel live given this board a pretty good beating with how many falls ive taken in the park and it still looks fine, no delaming that I can see. One word of advice for this board for those who are hitting rails: detune your edges!!!! Personally I think i would be happier with one of their reverse camber board but for a cambered board i like this thing. One of my favorite parts of the board is the graphics, i get tons of complements on the top sheet and i have to admit it looks awesome.
I'd recommend this board to a park rat who wants to have a board that can do other stuff too. Because so far this board seems like it can take a beating
hopefully i should be getting their ryan paul model by next year so hopefully i can review that too
