Re: Curiosity Kills V2
I am with everyone who is disappointed that this one isn't doing better. I think it is a fantastic design, and it is awful that it isn't AT LEAST fogging. (Should print too!!)
Re: Made of carbon
Aside from the debate as to whether this is on theme or not, I can't get behind this shirt. It appears to me to be constructed from various stock vectors and brushes, which means it's less art, and more compilation. Doesn't really float my boat.

"he could prove that he had actually done the measurements that supported his hypothesis." See how that works there? ;^)

Lol! Our cousins have a cat named Toby, who routinely mauls anyone and everyone. Every time I hear anyonen speak of him, I picture the 'cat next door' from Peanuts - usually just a blur of motion, random claws, stars, exclamation points... I wanted to do something like that, but just couldn't pull it together.

You're kidding, rite? I may not be great at discerning these things, but I certainly thought some of your stuff (Sullen) was hand-done and scanned. Which is not a bad thing by any stretch.
By contrast, I can do a nice sketchy style on paper, but can't get it to translate to digital very well. I mess with Threshold, etc., but my lines still look weeny.

Hey, take a look at my crappy cat - not a prayer of placing anywhere in the top 20! I agree on the memes and stuff, but be a tetch more selective in your 'rant'. Sometimes, the 'cat' is right, sometimes trite and boring. Like a rabbit. Or a penguin. Or a dinosaur. Not every sub will be brilliant. Not every print will be brilliant.

I like this shirt a lot. Very aesthetically pleasing for one, and I dig the color scheme. I can see where people are coming from saying that it is "not on theme", but I get it-- butterflies and plants (and all living things) are made of carbon. Artistic and subtle, I love it.

This modeling of an atom is used because while it might not be as technically accurate it is easier to describe bonding from this point of view.
I am inspired to vote for this shirt by your dedication to chemistry. I may not be a chem major as well, but I am the crazy cousin from engineering.
Also, this shirt is very good. I hope it prints, and that all the equations turn out all right (if anything, that is my only reservation with this shirt).

There were 3 main points i noticed right away.
Speed: Step on it and im like " WHOAHHH", this thing is fucking fast. A little more riding reveals that this thing is really fast, actually so fast i had a hard time controlling it. Makes every flat spot on sunshine seem like a blue run's. The wax absorption is good, at least for me. I did wax it as soon as i got it and then right before the trip. Soooo, yeah. TBT is fast as fuck. Moving on....
Edge: First run was a black run and never been rode the TBT, its was sketchy to say the least. Non the less, the edge was there on run down ice patches and edge to edge was amazing. So smooth and so fast. Carving blacks became fun again. I think the camber and stiffness helped with that alot. So, there is edge grip on TBT unlike some people say. Took 3 turns to familiarizes myself with it and then it was on to the races. Super fun.....
TBT: I have to say that majority of things TBT does for you, listed on Bataleon website, is true. Turn initiation is easy, hard to catch an edge, though not impossible , spins on jumps are easier and loads more. One in particular was how it felt on pow. Damn, is all i have to say. Actually, holy shit. Feels like when you step on a boat on water. Unlike anything i have ever rode before. Feels weird but confident at the same time. Kinda like surfing but softer and more fluid. Hard to explain, anyways. I need to take it to deep stuff, then im going to cry. So good.
Overall, im super stoked on it. I love it. Snowboarding is fun again without having to push myself. Love cruising on it and id love to take it on a long run with beautiful scenery. TBT won my heart, and next year im planning on the camel toe. have a good night.
I didn't like the Attack Banana. With respect to the PYL, I moved the front binding back a slot yesterday, increased the forward lean on the IPO highbacks a bit and whammo.....a board that I really enjoy riding. Whether I absolutely "love it" has yet to be determined. I am still getting used to it.
You won't get enough for the lobster to buy a Proto. This is why I am recommending selling the Goat as well. You need 600 bones in your hands asap. You can probably get 280 for the Goat and 325 for the lobster. Problem solved. Go get your Proto and don't look back.

I was looking at a Cobra there and they didn't have my size in stock.
Idea: Keep the goat first because its a good board second, my dad loved the graphics and thats the first board he liked, which means a ton for me and last because i can use it when it gets deep. Also sell the lobster and buy a proto. i have 2 bindings i love to death and im keeping those.
All over the place, i know.

Eh, i figured that i dont like TBT, wait who called it out? Dont get me wrong, its insane for pow but sunshine doesn't get that much anyways. If i can find a person that would pay 400 for the board im only like 150 away from proto. that's not too bad... Im just looking at something light, good pop and edge hold. The billy is such a work out even for me at 162 and the 157 lobster doesn't feel right on groomers. Ill stick to flat boards from now on. But if i keep the billy i can use it for pow as its bigger and stiffer. I was debating about me turning the goat into a swallow tail. that would rock.
Yeah, i read one review or comparison about the proto vs evil twin and i found everything to be true about the et. Stiff, heavy and not damp at all. Edge hold is mediocre at best and the TBT is only good for pow. If i cant sell any boards ill lover the price. I do have two bindings i totally love...
If you don't blow them out and take a quick loss (just wait until you start trading stocks on the market) you will quickly learn that by the end of January nobody wants your boards and you will spend the rest of the limited season wishing you had taken the advice. Your going to have to take a hit.
At least it is not $50,000.00 in Research In Motion stock.
You're boards are priced way too high... 450.00 for a Lobster? they're like 430.00 brand new... that board is now worth maybe 300.00 if you find a sucker on Kijiji. Anything used is going to depreciate by 50% as soon as you walk out of the shop with it.
Arsenal is right, blow them out cheap, suck up your loss and buy a Proto... then post a review about how it edges so well and how much you love it, then wait a few days and post again about how it can't hold an edge and how you're selling it cause you don't like it.
Thats funny. I was just checking Kijiji and thought "could this be the work of Blunt?"
In my humble opinion, I would blow out both boards fairly cheap to cover the cost of 1 Proto and perhaps some IPOs to go along with them. Forget the Hovercraft as Sunshine doesn't get enuff powder. The Proto seems to have your name all over it. You only need 1 good board. Everybody on here likes the Proto.
I would seriously consider the Yes Greats board as well. BA cannot say enuff about it, and you wouldn't need another stick.
Little update. Rode it again. This board is heavy. Feels like you have to drag it. I also don't like the way it sits on jump's when setting up. Edge hold sucks and i slipped on icy scratching my face... Bottom line? TBT for pow, non-tbt for all mtn freestyle. What am i doing now? trying to sell my billy goat and my lobster, then buying a hovercraft and Proto.
goat is getting replace with something more pow specific
Lobster is getting replace with something better.
I definitively did not think about my purchases this year. Now im getting something proven.
And if i cant sell them.... Ill keep em. they are still sick boards.
|yeah, TBT should come with a warning. When my boards were new, there were a couple times when TBT accelerated on me kind out of the blue and scared the shit out of me...but I'd rather that than the opposite. Love it on traverses and mogul-y type areas, too, because the edges don't get stuck in the transitions.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. - Junior forward Kealia Ohai's overtime goal in the 105th minute Friday night lifted 14th-ranked North Carolina into the 2012 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament championship game as the Tar Heels knocked off top-ranked Stanford 1-0 in double overtime in the national semifinals. The game was played before 7,289 fans at Torero Stadium on the campus of the University of San Diego.
Carolina will play in its 24th NCAA championship game in the 31-year history of the tournament on Sunday when it meets sixth-ranked Penn State Sunday at 1 p.m. PST (4 p.m. EST) at Torero Stadium. The Nittany Lions advanced to their first-ever NCAA final by defeating fellow No. 1 seed Florida State 2-1 in overtime in the first semifinal game Friday night.
Friday night's semifinal game was a hard fought game throughout the 90 minutes of regulation. Both teams had good chances to score although the Tar Heels might have had an edge in possession. Through regulation UNC had outshot the Cardinal 14-13 and had a 3-2 edge in corner kicks. UNC was on frame through most of that time with Stanford's Emily Oliver making seven saves in regulation and UNC's Adelaide Gay making four.
But the overtime was a different story as the Tar Heels took over the game and plowed through for the eventual game-winner in the 105th minute. UNC outshot the Cardinal 6-0 in the two overtime periods and were it not for three extra sessions saves by Oliver the Tar Heels might have prevailed earlier. Carolina also benefitted in overtime from having fresher legs as UNC head coach Anson Dorrance used six substitutes during the game to only three for Stanford.
The winning goal was set up on a run down the middle of the pitch by New Zealand National Team player and Carolina freshman midfielder Katie Bowen. Bowen fed a ball to the feet of Crystal Dunn, who has been all-everything for UNC in the NCAA Tournament. Dunn gathered the ball in and despite having a defender on her hip she kept her balance and sprung Ohai free on the right side of the penalty area. Ohai never hesitated, used her speed to get behind everyone and from 12 yards out on the right she lasered a shot across the frame. The ball struck the left stanchion but was hit with such pace that it bounced across the goal and into the right side netting.
It was Ohai's team-leading eighth goal of the season and her second game-winner of the campaign.
Carolina has been making history in the NCAA Tournament in many forms after finishing the regular season 10-5-2 overall. The Tar Heels have now advanced in three successive overtime games. Prior to this year Carolina had never played more than one overtime game in any single NCAA Tournament. After wins over Radford and Illinois, the Tar Heels got by #9 Baylor 4-2 on penalty kicks after playing to a 1-1 double overtime tie. Last Friday in the quarterfinals, UNC prevailed 2-1 over #3 BYU on a golden goal by Dunn in the 107th minute of play off an assist by Ohai. On Friday, it was the combination of juniors Ohai and Dunn that again produced overtime magic for the Tar Heels.
Both teams felt each other out in the first half with the Tar Heels posting seven shots to five for Stanford. Oliver had four first half saves for Stanford and Gay had three for Carolina. UNC had good opportunities from distance in the first half but was not able to get anything past Oliver. Meanwhile, the UNC defense and Gay rose up to deny the Cardinal. In the 13th minute, Stanford earned a corner kick by Courtney Verloo leading to a header from the six-yard line by Mariah Nogueira that was calmly played off the goal line at the last second by UNC sophomore defender Caitlin Ball. Then in the 37th minute, Stanford's Lo'eau LaBonta tried to catch Gay off her line after a clearance by the UNC goalkeeper, launching a 45-yard shot that was destined for the back of the net before Gay hustled back and made a remarkable save on the ball.
In the second half, Stanford was vexed by its inability to put its best chances on frame. A shot by Chioma Ubogagu rolled tantalizingly across the crease in the and wide in the 48th minute. Two minutes later, after a Cardinal corner kick was redirected back into the penalty area, LoBonta got behind the Tar Heel defense and sent a shot from six yards that popped just over the bar.
At the 52:56 mark, UNC appeared to be ready to take the lead as senior Maria Lubrano fired a shot from 18 yards out on the left side that was headed with pace into the upper right 90 before being tipped away at the last second by Oliver. In the 83rd minute, Sydney Payne of Stanford had a look from the left side of the box from 15 yards that went just wide right.
That set up overtime where it was all Carolina. In the 94th minute, Oliver made an amazing save on a shot by Amber Brooks from the 15-yard line, just tipping over the rocket off the foot of Brooks from point blank range. In the second overtime, Oliver came up big on an excellent chance by Ohai in the 102nd minute and stopped a shot from Dunn in the 103rd. Eventually the Tar Heels broke through and improved their record in NCAA semifinal matches to 24-2.
North Carolina (14-5-3) defeated Stanford (21-2-1) for the second time in the last four years in the NCAA Tournament. The Tar Heels also beat the Cardinal 1-0 in the 2009 NCAA championship game in College Station, Texas. The Tar Heels are now 9-0-3 all-time against the Cardinal.Carolina has now defeated four teams (in five games) in the NCAA Tournament who had not lost a game since the weekend of August 25-26. Radford, Baylor, BYU and Stanford were all one-loss teams on the 2012 seasons before being eliminated by the Tar Heels.

Company's philosophy is to listen to customers. With your input and our efforts we have a winning combination. We look forward to continuing development of instrumentation to benefit the field of astronomy and science education.
SBIG (Santa Barbara Instrument Group) has brought together a group of unique individuals, each with years of experience in his or her particular discipline. People with this much expertise can accomplish a great deal when they share a common goal. The goal of SBIG is to design and manufacture the best astronomical instrumentation in the world, professional quality equipment at a price an amateur can afford.
SBIG's company's philosophy is to listen to their customers. With your input and our efforts, they have a winning combination. SBIG's is looking forward to continuing development of instrumentation to benefit the field of astronomy and scientific imaging.
In most high technology markets there are "pioneers", companies who have the technology and dedication to influence the direction of an entire industry. In the past 10 years SBIG has been that pioneer in the electronic imaging industry. SBIG has a reputation for outstanding quality products. They were the first company to introduce CCD autoguiding with the Model ST-4, Track and Accumulate (TRACCUM) with the Model ST-6, and dual CCD self-guiding with the Models ST-7 and ST-8. SBIG pioneered tricolor imaging with both hardware and software and are pushing the technology forward again with the introduction of Adaptive Optics and a stand-alone video camera and autoguider. Along the way they were granted two U.S. Patents, one for Track and Accumulate and the other for Self-Guiding.
Of more significance to customers reading this catalog for the first time is that SBIG has brought back to life the long forgotten practice of offering quality "technical support". The company philosophy, as published in the ads is based on ".. .basic values, good products, strong technical support and honesty". They can help you take photographic quality CCD images, measure the surface brightness of a spiral galaxy, image a comet, or obtain high resolution densitometry images of x-ray plates. They can help you obtain long, uninterrupted autoguided astrophotographs. As stated in SBIG's ads, "We understand how our products work and we want you to consider us a part of your technical staff". If you want to deal with a company that understands CCD imaging and will take the time to help you, contact SBIG.
The introduction of Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) has dramatically changed the methods astronomers use to view objects. The remarkable sensitivity and dynamic range of CCDs has made them the detector of choice. A CCD is an array of photosites (pixels) on a silicon substrate. The pixels are arranged in rows and columns. Light falling on the CCD is recorded as an electrical signal by converting the photons to electrons. The sensitivity of a CCD is ten times faster than the fastest films and is linear in response (which films are not). The number of photons converted to electrons, referred to as Quantum Efficiency, is in the order of 50%. These advantages as well as the digital nature of the data make CCD devices ideal for astronomical imaging.

With the Mitertite system, mitered door and window casings can be screwed together as a unit, allowing trim carpenters to install pre-assembled casings. Once you get used to this technique, it can improve the quality of your work and save time.
Overall I'm impressed with the Mitertite, but it does have a few drawbacks. The learning curve is steeper and setup takes longer than starting out with most new tools. You have to be patient, and you really do have to read the instructions. It also helps to use Mitertite with a large work surface – a sheet of plywood set out on sawhorses, at the very least.
The basic tool is an "assembly plate," a unique pocket-hole jig that holds two pieces of mitered casing together for drilling and assembly with a pocket-hole screw. The rocker clamp on the assembly plate holds both pieces of casing together for drilling and assembly. The rocker clamp feet can dent casing if you're not careful, so you might want to protect the work. I also found it helpful to use another clamp on the outside of the miter; I borrowed a clamp from my Kreg jig.
Over time, mitered casings usually open in the inside corner of the miter. The Mitertite system addresses this with a micro fence that you fit to your saw and set to overcut the miters by 1/10 degree (this splays out the legs of a door casing by 1/5 degree on each side). Having miters cut that are 1/5 degree wider than 90 degrees would not seem to matter much, but the reveal at the bottom of a doorway will be doubled. As a door casing set is installed, the splayed legs are pulled in, compressing the inside of the miter. This works because the screw holding the outside of the miter together forces the inside of the miter together without opening the outside.
The micro fence has a set screw, which allows the side of the auxiliary fence closest to the blade to be pushed away from the saw's fence just a few thousandths of an inch. This provides for the miters to be overcut by 1/10 degree. Once the micro fences are calibrated and their mounting blocks are attached to fit your saw's fence, the micro fences are set for dedicated use with that saw only. This presents a problem for carpenters who, like me, use a variety of miter saws. I would need several sets of custom-calibrated micro fences. The micro fence could use some refinement; better provision for attachment and adaptability for use on multiple saws would be nice, in my opinion.
Stretch clamps are provided to help pull the miter together and keep the two members making the joint from rotating around the single pocket screw. The stretch clamps are a great product all by themselves and will find other uses apart from the Mitertite application.
Mitertite claims to be "fast, tight, and permanent." It certainly is capable of making tight joints that can be expected to fare well over time – but the "fast" claim must be qualified. Initial setup aside, the tool still requires setting up a Mitertite workstation with an assembly table on the job site. However, this system then allows efficient pre-assembly of casing sets, which can be installed quickly as units. This is great if everything goes right the first time. Disassembly and recutting are to be avoided; one mistake and time gains are wiped out. So measure carefully and check openings for squareness.
Another time-consuming step is cutting plugs and installing them for situations where the holes drilled in the head casings are visible from above. A plug-cutter is provided for this. Fortunately this is not an overly common task, and if back-banding is part of the casing style, the holes are covered by molding.
The verdict
Mitertite is an innovative product that will be appeal to serious trim carpenters. It's a tool that asks the user to adopt a casing pre-assembly system that can be a paradigm shift. If you already use pocket-hole jigs to pre-assemble flat 1-by casing sets, or if you like using clam or spring miter clamps, this system is a logical extension and is worth considering. It has a few rough edges, but the resulting tight joints and long-term stability of the miter – plus the assembly-line efficiency possible with the system – seem well worth the $297 price.

1. Must use trap w/ metal bait pedal. Plastic is too trigger happy and you get tripped traps w/ no mouse and they are too difficult to place into tight spaces w/o tripping them. Keepfingers way from these. Dont even buy 'em. Won't use poisons or sticky traps either as first is too indiscriminate and the latter just cruel. As for catching them alive. WHY? Unless you have a snake or mouse eating lizard, which at the moment I don't.
2. Must use very stinky type of meat. I like stinky Italian salami, pepperoni or lox. Yes lox, the best. Oily and stinky and it can be wedged into the bait petal. I never miss a mouse if you really wedge the bait into the petal. These meats can all be wedged in nicely and as they dry it sticks even tighter to the petal.
3. Never use traps a second time if they killed. The mice smell the fear and death on a used trap if it killed before and avoid it.
4. Place them right where they have left their trail of feces or whatever they have gotten into.
5 Repeat as needed

WASHINGTON -- President Obama signed into law a measure that eliminates the requirement for two notifications of fees at ATMs. The redundant regulation removed by the enacted legislation had become a source of frivolous lawsuits aimed at ATM operators because it required them to physically post transaction fee signs on or near their ATMs, even though their machines clearly display fees on equipment screens.
Previously, under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, a consumer using an ATM without the redundant notices could bring an action against the ATM operator and recover statutory damages between $100 and $1,000 for each transaction. Rep. Blaine Luetkmeyer (R-MO) introduced legislation to eliminate the superfluous signage requirement after a Missourian successfully sued five ATM operators for more than $100,000 in settlements. Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE) pushed similar legislation through the Senate, paving the way for enactment by the President.
The legislation (H.R.4367) was supported by the American Bankers Association, American Gaming Association, ATM Industry Association and Credit Union National Association, along with the Electronic Funds Transfer Association, Independent Community Bankers Association and National Association of Convenience Stores.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Chris Head was added to the lineup in 1997 and two years later bassist Chris #2 joined on as well to complete the four-piece. Their System Doesn't Work for You, a reissue of their out of print EP North America Sucks along with additional previously unreleased songs, followed in 1998 on the band's newly founded A-F Records. They released A New Kind of Army in 1999 on Go Kart Records, hoping not only to push their beliefs to a wider audience but, more importantly, just to play out around the world while flipping two fingers in the air to everyone they're against. A summer stint on the Warped Tour brought an expanded audience and new friends, including NOFX's Fat Mike over at Fat Wreck Chords. The label put out 2001's Underground Network, recorded with the help of Mass Girorgini (Screeching Weasel, Common Rider). Half of the tracks for their next effort, Mobilize, were recorded live in their hometown in December 2001; the disc came out in February 2002, and it fittingly also contained many songs, most explicitly "911 for Peace," that reflected the World Trade Center terrorist attacks.
In early 2002, Sane released a solo record entitled Life, Love and the Pursuit of Justice via A-F, and it mostly contained a sonically stripped-down version of his main band's political agenda. Anti-Flag's contribution to the BYO Split Series came out in fall 2002 with their split with the Bouncing Souls, and a year later they issued their next full-length, The Terror State, on Fat Wreck. The four-song EP Live at Fireside Bowl also appeared on Liberation. Released in 2004, the live Death of a Nation DVD chronicled the band's U.S. tour in support of The Terror State, and that same year, A-F reissued A New Kind of Army. Not surprisingly, the band also became involved with Punk Voter, a coalition of punk bands and artists who worked to raise voter awareness and participation -- namely against George W. Bush -- for the 2004 election, and headlined the Rock Against Bush tour. In a somewhat unexpected move, Anti-Flag next signed to RCA in April 2005; they issued For Blood and Empire the following March. In October 2007 the band released A Benefit for Victims of Violent Crime on their own A-F label, an EP (with a combination of both new songs and live tracks) whose proceeds went to the Center for Victims of Violence and Crime, a decision made after Chris #2 lost his sister to homicide earlier that year. In 2008, the band released The Bright Lights of America, and the Tony Visconti-produced album would be their last for RCA as Anti-Flag made the jump to SideOneDummy. Back on an independent label and now recording in their own studio, the band wasted no time in putting out their eighth studio album, The People or the Gun, in 2009. As always, Anti-Flag continued to stay politically active, donating profits from the album to Amnesty International, as well as attending a G-20 protest in their home town. Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement, the band followed up in 2012 with the politically charged The General Strike. ~ Mike DaRonco

I havent had the money to get a controller . Working on getting one soon though hopefully Right now i am runnin the V&H 2n2 Their a good bit shorter than the stockers. But i am assumeing that would qualify as short pipes ? Either one i get . Its going to have an auto tune with it. Cobra or the Dynojet.
You can tune those with computer too cant you? Is their an adpter that can change that wide band to fit into the stock hole ?Right now mine pops a little on decel but its fine with me. I think i had bought bad plugs. Old plugs were tanish good color Changed them road maybe 200 miles had awful mileage (stock pipe still) . Just put on the v&h the other day. Checked the plugs b4 i started it up with th new pipes to check see if they may be bad and they were black as chracol. I am guessin their bad.
this is why a little less "flexibility" as one would put it is much easier on my wallet then having to shell out $XXX amount of money to "retune" whenever i put on, new intake/pipes or performance mods.those that stand to lose money by not having the customer base of power commander retunes wont push or mention something that will lose them money.to each their own. I save money everytime i do a performance mod and i have almost the same performance as others. Pay more or ride more? you choose.

Video: The historical case for the Resurrection
posted at 5:47 pm on April 2, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
It's about a year and a half old and it's also over 90 minutes, so you'd better prepare yourself for a very long scholarly presentation on why the historical record lends itself to conclude that Jesus returned from the dead as Christianity attests. It's timely not only because of Easter, but tangentially because of the New York Times' ignorance of it. Dr. William Lane Craig offered this presentation alone to a British audience during a sponsored tour. Craig teaches at Talbot School of Theology in my birthplace, La Mirada, California, and has written a number of books on the topic. He has also held a series of debates with a number of theologians and atheists, including the late Christopher Hitchens, but Richard Dawkins refused an invitation, accusing Craig of "self-promotion" … which for Dawkins is quite an accusation.
Hat tip to my friend Ted Balaker:
If you don't want to go through a long presentation and a Q&A session, you can jump right into one of those debates, this one with Dr. James Crossley, over the historical record. It's longer than the first video. Fortunately, this has a comprehensive summary of both arguments and all the rebuttals in outline form, written and published by Wintery Knight on Sunday:
Briefly, Craig's argument is structured thus:
Contention 1 of 2:
Fact 1: The burial
- The burial is multiply attested
- The burial is based on the early source material that Mark used for his gospel
- Scholars date this Markan source to within 10 years of the crucifixion
- The burial is also in the early passage in 1 Cor 15:3-8
- So you have 5 sources, some of which are very early
- The burial is credited to a member of the Sanhedrin
- the burial is probable because shows an enemy of the church doing right
- this makes it unlikely to to be an invention
Fact 2: The empty tomb
- The burial story supports the empty tomb
- the site of Jesus' grave was known
- the disciples could not proclaim a resurrection if the body were still in it
- the antagonists to the early Christians could have produced the body
- The empty tomb is multiple attested
- it's mentioned explicitly in Mark
- it's in the separate sources used by Matthew and John
- it's in the early sermons documented in Acts
- it's implied by 1 Cor 15:3-8, because resurrection requires that the body is missing
- The empty tomb was discovered by women
- the testimony of women of women was not normally allowed in courts of law
- if this story was being made up, they would have chosen male disciples
- The empty tomb discover lacks legendary embellishment
- there is no theological or apologetical reflection on the meaning of the tomb
- The early Jewish response implies that the tomb was empty
- the response was that the disciples stole the body
- that requires that the tomb was found empty
Fact 3: The appearances to individuals and groups, some of the them hostile
- The list of appearances is in 1 Cor 15:3-8
- this material is extremely early, withing 1-3 years after the cross
- James, the brother of Jesus, was not a believer when he got his appearance
- Paul was hostile to the early church when he got his appearance
- Specific appearances are multiply attested
- Peter: attested by Luke and Paul
- The twelve: attested by Luke, John and Paul
- The women: attested by Matthew and John
Fact 4: The early belief in the resurrection emerged in a hostile environment
- There was no background belief in a dying Messiah
- There was no background belief in a single person resurrecting before the general resurrection of all of the righteous at the end of the age
- The disciples were willing to die for their belief in the resurrection of Jesus
- The resurrection is the best explanation for the transformation of the disciples from frightened to reckless of death
Contention 2 of 2:
- The resurrection is the best explanation because it passes C.B. McCullough's six tests for historical explanations
- None of the naturalistic explanations accounts for the minimal facts as well as the resurrection
Be sure to read it all, even if you don't want to watch it all.

More from Zak Billmeier
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.
Canon's EOS 7D is a powerful, versatile digital SLR. In this video, Julie and Zak talk about their favorite features.
Video Transcript
Zak: Hi, I'm Zak and I'm with Julie today in the Crutchfield studio to talk about the Canon EOS7D digital camera. Now we got a chance to take this home, and there's really tons to talk about. We'll just cover the highlights today.
Julie: Right. So one of the first things I noticed when I started using it was the autofocus. Canon took the 9-point autofocus system that was on previous models and they overhauled it big time so you get a very smart, very fast 19-point autofocus system in this camera. And honestly, when I was using it felt like the camera was reading my mind about what I wanted to focus on. It was that fast.
Zak: Now one of the 7D's main improvements is that it now has two processors inside, which makes the whole operation of the camera that much more snappy. But it's really important when you're shooting in the burst mode at 8-frames per second — great for when you're shooting sports, wildlife, or just a wiggly kid out in the backyard.
Julie: Right. Another thing that I liked about the EOS 7D is that they've given it a better viewfinder. Now previous models had a 95% coverage viewfinder, which might sound pretty good. But it does mean that as you're taking a picture you're having to remind yourself, "I need to allow for some margin around the edges." This viewfinder is a 100% coverage viewfinder. That means that what you see is exactly what you get.
Zak: Here's something I really like, and I know Canon shooters have been waiting around for a while: If you have a Speedlite at home, the pop up flash can now trigger that Speedlite from across the room, so you can set up the perfect lighting for portrait shots. It's really nice to have.
Julie: So one last thing to mention about the EOS 7D is its HD movie mode. I like to see that built into an SLR because it gives you a great back up option for capturing footage. It doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to be tossing your video camera out any time soon. Another thing that's kind of fun about this is you get to play with some of the shooting modes of the camera, any lenses you might have and manual focus. And the results are pretty fun, and they look really good.
Zak: Yeah, I had a great time playing with that. And as you can see this is a very powerful camera. You get a lot of control over your picture taking and it's built like a rock. We've really just scratched the surface of what it can do here today. If you want to see what it does in real world conditions check out my blog post at crutchfield.com/EOS7Dblog
Julie: Right. You can also get full specs online at crutchfield.com/CanonEOS7D or you could give us a call with any questions you have.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Multnomah University has responded to students' academic and holistic needs with new programs designed to support students during their time at school. These tutoring, counseling, and wellness programs have been in formation over the past two years.
The academic support center, under Dean of Student Services Matt Rygg, has hired five tutors to provide instruction on Bible/theology, math, and writing. Rygg supervises the program and Professor Domani Pothen devotes time outside of teaching to coach the five tutors. Rygg said he wants to expand the academic services to include study skills and test-taking seminars.
Multnomah Student Services has restructured its department to better provide counseling and medical care for students. Kerrin Houser, manager of the counseling center, is focusing on helping students develop spiritually. One of the events she has planned to accomplish this is a body image small group for women students.
Academic and Holistic Goals for Students
"It was really a stewardship issue that we find a way to support students academically," Matt Rygg said. "The Academic Support Center has been created to support students as an institution."
"There's a great privilege that God has entrusted to us: to walk with people while they are preparing for ministry during one of the most formative times of their lives," Dean of Spiritual Formation and Wellness Karen Fancher said. "And we're really honored and excited to do so and we want to give them the support that we can."
For more information about the Student Health and Wellness programs, please contact Karen Fancher, Dean of Spiritual Formation and Wellness at 503.251.5312 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hey guys! Do any of you know any good in-takes to put in the '13 WRX?
This is a discussion on What is a good in-take for '13 WRX? within the Engine Modifications forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; Hey guys! Do any of you know any good in-takes to put in the '13 WRX?...
Hey guys! Do any of you know any good in-takes to put in the '13 WRX?
They're are plenty of good options. However, you are aware that they all require a tune to use them right?
Yes. but i just want ideas of a good in-take. cause i hear good and bad or intakes. some say K&N are cheaper and is decent compared to Injen which some say is expensive for what is as good as them. so... i am just looking for ideas. after all it is my first WRX.
I hate this response but, ask the tuner you think you might work with or the company you'll be buying your AP map from. Also, some intakes aren't compatible with FMIC's if you decide to go that way later on.
AEM and K&N are pretty popular. I hear the Cobb runs a bit lean and harder to tune...just hearsay, no personal experience. I have the K&N and its not compatible with a front mount intercooler but that's not in my plans and I love the whooshing abounds it makes.
Good luck, dig around a bit. Lots of success with lots of different intakes depending on your wants/needs/budget.
Mucho work done by me, TP Tuned
My first wrx as well. I would say the cobb sf intake is the most common as well as AEM. If you are going to use a cobb ap for your engine management you have to be careful because not intakes are compatible with their tunes.
ohh really??. I have a blue WRX too. I hear some good reviews on COBBs too. I can't seem to decide. lol
I was thinking about Cobb, myself. I like how it uses the stock ram intake to suck in cool air, yet it's still a short ram intake, so the sound is great.
I'm concerned about the tuning issues, though...
I'm sure people will also bring up if you live in a flood area you may want to stay away from cold air due to possibility of hydro lock (though I think you would have to drive through a good foot of water). Do you ever plan on going to a Front Mount Intercooler? If so you may want to go with an cold air instead of a short ram like the cobb since the piping needs to be routed through the stock airbox location.

CFS has the excellent TNW billet uppers on sale for $49 for black friday.
now i didn't plan on getting any more ar-15 goodies-- but i couldn't pass up getting a couple of these.
now i haven't built on a TNW billet upper --a couple years ago i got an email from CFS with the TNW billet lowers on sale for $79 and i grabbed up a couple of them.
i have to say they were well worth the money, well built and fit perfectly --no slack-slop whatsoever. :nanabang::nanabang:
if you need an upper these are far better than the hard to find blems---that normally go for at least this much.
if you buy more than $69.99 you get free shipping so toss in a mag or two!
it is a hell of a deal till they run out--:notworthy

Scoring the first nine goals of the contest, the Canisius College women's lacrosse team dominated St. Bonaventure by the score of 18-3 on Monday afternoon at the Demske Sports Complex. The Golden Griffins improved to 6-3 on the season, winning sixth of their last seven contests.
"We got off to a great start in both halves," said head coach Scott Teeter. "We minimized our mistakes offenseively and we were able to play our own style of defense for a full 60 minutes."
Sophomore Tori Quinn led the Griffs' offensive attack with six points off five goals and an assist. Senior Morgan Leonard and junior Maria Kotas tallied five points each with Leonard scoring four goals and Kotas adding three to the Griffs' total.
The Griffs dominated play throughout the contest, taking control from the start. With 23 seconds ticked off the clock, Leonard gave the Griffs a 1-0 lead. The senior scored four of the Griffs' first eight goals of the contest with three unassisted.
After nine straight goals in the first half by Canisius, St. Bonaventure (5-3) found the back of the net with less than 40 seconds remaining. The Bonnies' Jenna Schalgenhauf individually beat the Griffs for the team's first and only goal of the first half. Schalgenhauf contributed to all three of the Bonnies' tallies including two goals and an assist.
Holding a 9-1 lead to open the second half, Quinn scored the Griffs' first goal with an unassisted tally. Parked at the right side of the net, Quinn added a man-up goal on a feed pass from Leonard at 13:23 of the second half to extend the Griffs' lead to 14-2. On the next play, Quinn added an assist on Kotas' second goal of the contest.
In the closing seconds of the contest, freshman Kali Baird scored her first career goal with only 0.2 seconds remaining to give the Griffs an 18-3 win.
Sophomore Kayla Scully and freshman Claudia Coleates evenly split time in net. Picking up the win, Scully recorded five saves in the first half. The sophomore kept the Bonnies off the scoresheet until the final minute of play in the first half. Coleates stopped three shots in her fourth appearance.
Bonnies' goalkeeper Karly Kocis posted 15 saves, recording her first loss of the season.
Converting on half their shots, the Griffs held a 36-15 shot advantage over the Bonnies.
The Blue and Gold will open Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) action against Iona on Saturday afternoon at the Demske Sports Complex at 2 p.m.

The 25 Best Companies in America
Public companies traditionally receive acclaim for delivering rapid earnings growth along with a rising stock price. Wall Street and the financial media encourage executives to "beat earnings targets," and boards pay them astronomical sums for doing so.
But a preoccupation with how investors are doing in the present can result in unfortunate outcomes. For example, Countrywide delighted its shareholders with huge profits from 2003 to 2006. Alas, the nation's largest mortgage lender all but drove itself into bankruptcy by mistreating its employees, homeowners, and mortgage investors. On a more mundane level, anyone who's ever had to deal with a surly checkout clerk can tell you that failing to look after employees and customers can result in lost future business for a retailer.
Several studies suggest that companies that focus on multiple stakeholders tend to achieve better financial performance over the long term. Intuitively, this makes sense, too, because, as professor Ed Freeman of the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia puts it, "business is about how customers, suppliers, employees, financiers, communities, and managers interact and create value."
We strongly believe that the greatest and most successful companies are those that are able to benefit all of the various groups.
For the past several months, we have been compiling data and analyzing more than 1,700 public companies to discover the 25 best public companies in America, measured by their success in serving investors, customers, employees, and the world at large. We're delighted to finally be able to share our findings. You can read more about all 25 of them below.

For instance : the word " Practice " both Noun and Verb form in the U.S the "Practice" will remain without any change . In the U.K there's a difference between the Noun - "Practice" to the Verb form which is "Practise" .
Please submit more like I just did above , thanks in advance , Shuki.

Craigslist? Practical Machinist website, put a want to buy ad up.

Craigslist? Practical Machinist website, put a want to buy ad up.
+1 on Craigslist, I see a lot of them in this area but people think machinery are made of gold around here
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Hello HC,
Southbend lathes are nice and always popular. Early machines tend to have small headstock bores so they will need a longer bed and a steadyrest to deal with gun barrels. I prefer a lathe with a 12 inch or larger swing, 36 inches or more between centers, and a 1.5 inch bore headstock.
Check the highschool property auctions as more schools close out their shop/industrial arts programs and replace them with crap.
There are also used machinery dealers to check out. Be prepared to have some shipping challenges. The used manual machinery market varies greatly from one region to another. Outside the rustbelt things dry up quickly though the east coast is yet a target rich environment. Look for a lathe that has tooling !!! Buying tooling after the fact can cost as much (or more) than the lathe !!!!
Shopping patience is needed. Have fun.

Hello HC,
Here is a nice-looking 10" swing Southbend lathe with tooling available in Tenafly, NJ. It has a QCGB, QCTP, collets, a 3-jaw chuck, and runs on 120v single phase juice. It's a cabinet model too !!! It ain't mine...
10" South Bend Lathe
Looks to be plug-and-play useful to me though I like the larger lathes.
VD in AZ
Thanks for those links! Been a bit distracted by other things but a barrel lathe is still on my radar. Looking around Ebay alone it seems there are "plenty" of lathes to go around. After all my experience with my Chinese Mini Lathe (and Mini Mill!) I am definitely interested in a larger lathe... too much horsepower is actually "just enough" horsepower.
What really appeals to me is that the older name lathes have TONS of parts and accessories available for them. That is appealing when you start to consider possible upgrades. I am thinking I can get an older one for $500-1000 since around here they do tend to be proud of them.

Hello hc,
Southbend lathes have achieved almost a cult status among the manual lathe crowd and retired old guys. Early versions (pre-1960's) do not typically have hardened bedways and often have seen wartime service especially in the size for adequate gun-smithing and barrel turning.
What all that really means is that the pricing will be rather spendy. One option is to buy a rebuildable machine but... that requires some serious machinery expertise and possible expense. Lots of interesting resto-threads on the Southbend sub-forum at Practical Machinist - Largest Manufacturing Technology Forum on the Web . Fun reading and cool pics too !!!

Bidspotter auction sight has great deals on used equipment. A lot of the machines you find on ebay are being resold by dealers that got them from a bidspotter auction.

WARP F2013 - training and testing with Marco Lang
NorthSails team rider Marco Lang is currently training and testing the new WARP F2013 in Croatia. His statement:
"I spent some days in the Adriatic sea to the test the new Warp F2013. Loving to be back on the water with the new salom stuff after one month without slalom sailing.
After few minutes i was super stoked, because the 8,6 felt simaler to the 7,8 from last year, which was an incredible slalom sail! The sail sail is super balanced, whether in strong or light condtions. In the light conditions the 8,6 felt better than the old one. The sail is softer, therefore much better to pump and to get planing after the jibes! If you are powerd up, the sail stays really stable and you have good control as in the last years. I am super happy with the new WARP F2013, and I can´t wait to race with them!!
Cheers, Marco"

Forget the P2P/sub only option.
3 years average $540 + 60 on boxes/expansion, at least you'll be spending $600 on a single game.
The only time I would see myself spending $600-1,000 on a single game is if the game is truly something on a whole different level, which is not in 99% of the MMO's.
Any F2P or MMORPG that requires $50 top per year to fully enjoy its content/features is the only option for me.
Sadly, there aren't many F2P MMORPG's out there that are fun to be played in first place for free. Maeby by 2020 that will change.
Market is overflooded with card/battleground type MOBA/FPS/RTS repetitive/deathmatch/shoot em up games that I remember playing back 20 years ago with my friends on the Nintendo. Only difference now is they are 3D and better 3D graphics than 10+ years ago.

"This was my first time using tinyprints.com. I was very happy with the ease of personalization of the card, the quality of the card stock, the option to have a designer review the card, and the speed of delivery. The ability to have different shapes for the edge of the card is such a nice touch. My cards came out just as pictured on the screen. Very pleased and would order again in the future."
"I purchased these birth announcements on the arrival of my second daughter and my only disappointment is that I didn't use Tiny Prints for my first daughter! The quality was excellent, I wanted the pink background on the cards but asked if the white swirl could be added to the pink background and this was accommodated with no trouble. The photos look great, the layout was easy to personalize and the order arrived several days earlier than expected. Overall I could not be happier with the end product and can't wait to give them to our family and friends!"
"I have received lots of compliments for this pretty, feminine card. It is really beautiful and displays the photos perfectly. The paper quality was very high and the print quality also."
"Our family and friends absolutely loved this announcement. We got calls and texts as soon as they arrived in their mailboxes. Would definitely recommend tiny prints to anyone!"
"This is our second birth announcement, and first time using Tiny Prints. I was very satisfied when I reveived them. My husband was so impressed with the quality and couldn't believe they cost the same price as the previous lesser quality cards. I will be using Tiny Prints again."

Posted by Nigel Fenwick on May 13, 2011
I'm going to date myself here, but in the early 90's when I was working in IT, I created a new role: "IT Marketing and Services." In defining the role, I was quite deliberate about my choice of words -- especially in the use of "marketing." This role was responsible for all customer-facing aspects of IT -- that included IT business relationship managers (yes we had them back in the early 90's), help desk, training, communications (of the PR kind), demand management and planning. I chose the word "marketing" deliberately to reflect the fact that this was a customer-facing responsibility (both internal IT customers and end-customers of the business from a technology perspective).
Twenty years on, and the number of IT professionals who really understand marketing and recognize the importance of marketing as a key component of IT operating strategy has, if anything, declined. Why?
Often when I ask CIOs today about the role of marketing in IT they are overcome with concern about using the term "marketing" in the context of IT. They believe people across the organization will think there is no role for marketing in IT, and that having anyone with a "marketing" title will suggest IT has too much money. Why does this fundamental misunderstanding of marketing perpetuate throughout organizations? So many otherwise knowledgeable executives think marketing is simply advertising or worse "spin." Do "marketing" job titles in IT really suggest that CIOs are trying to "sell" IT to the rest of the business? I wonder if this is a problem for IT or if it is an issue created by the perception of others outside of IT.

TEMPE, Ariz. - Carolina opened play 2-0 at the Wilson/DeMarini tournament, taking down No. 20 Baylor in game one and following with a 5-4 win over East Carolina Friday at Arizona State's Farrington Stadium.
In game one, Lori Spingola gave up only one hit to help lift the Tar Heels over the Bears, while Megan Morrison had a big game against ECU, hitting a three-run homer for Carolina. Haleigh Dickey hit her first homer of the season against Baylor, and Constance Orr added her fourth against the Pirates.
After three quick innings, Erin Satterfield led of the fourth with a double to left center. Amber Parrish drew a walk before Constance Orr singled to right and advanced to second on a Baylor error. Aquilla Mateen advanced to second on the play while pinch running for Parrish, and Satterfield came home to put the first run on the board. Kristen Brown followed with a sacrifice fly to drive in Mateen to give Carolina the 2-0 lead.
In the sixth, Haleigh Dickey hit a solo shot to center for her first homerun of the season to make it 3-0.
Behind a strong pitching performance by Lori Spingola and solid defense, the Tar Heels kept Baylor scoreless in their remaining two at-bats to take the win.
Spingola (8-3) pitched a complete game, striking out six while giving up just one hit.
East Carolina's Kristi Oshiro singled and then scored on a double to right center by Alex Fieldhouse to give the Pirates a 1-0 lead in the first.
In the second, Kristen Brown singled and Amy Nece drew a walk before Megan Morrison responded with a homerun of her own, putting the Tar Heels up 3-1.
Fieldhouse hit the Pirates' second homerun of the game in the third, driving in Kristi Oshiro, who had reached base on a fielder's choice and evening the score at 3-3.
Two pitching changes later for the Tar Heels, ECU went long again as Jordan Lewis hit one out over left center to take the 4-3 lead in the top of the fifth.
Amber Parrish singled in the bottom frame before Constance Orr homered over center as Carolina took back the lead for good, 5-4.
Sara Buchholz earned the win for the Tar Heels, giving up two hits in one inning. Spingola got the save, pitching two innings and giving up two hits and one walk.
Carolina plays two games Saturday, facing North Dakota at 1:30 pm (EST) and No. 3 Arizona State at 9 pm (EST). The Tar Heels close out play at the Wilson/DeMarini tournament Sunday with a game against Binghamton at 11:30 am (EST).

It's a black kitteh pillow! Meow! I don't know why black cats are still considered creepy and bringers-of-bad-luck in the era of science, but it would feel wrong to have a Halloween without some sort of black cat decoration. The inspiration came from this Woman's Day tutorial for an even easier pillow. I complicated it a little bit because I wanted to make it from scratch. And I wanted whiskers that you could play with!
You can curl this kitteh's whiskers and it won't shred your face with those pointy claws. Unless the pillow is haunted. Which is possible. OK let's make one! You will need two 9 by 12 inches felt rectangles, buttons for the eyes, chenille stems for the whiskery whiskers, a button for the nose, some floss, thread, and some sort of batting/stuffing. Please excuse the following disgraceful pictures.
I used three chenille stems for this kitteh's whiskers
Arrange the chenille stems and sew them to one of the felt pieces with a thick thread or floss:
Several stitches in the middle, right where the stems meet will keep them in place
Sew a little nosey button in the middle to cover the whiskery stitches. For the eyes, I went with two large white buttons and then two smaller green buttons on top. Sew them to the felt just above the nosey button.
Now it looked like it needed a little something extra, so I backstitched a vertical line from the nose down:
Crooked - I did this with only one eye open, the other one was down for maintenance
The face is all done, now it's time to make the pillow. Place the felt rectangle you've been working on face down on top of the other felty rectangle. Sew along three of the sides, leaving one side open.
I folded in the whiskers to avoid a sewing machine disaster
When you're done with that, flip the pillow inside out and stuff it with the batting material.
Sew along the open side to close the pillow and you're done! I also made a little ghosty pillow:
Same method as the cat pillow, except there are no stems or buttons, and the eyes and mouth are also made with black felt. Here's a quick ghostly design - print, cut, trace on felt, cut, sew black eyes and mouths to one white felt cut-out, finish making the pillow just like the cat pillow.
More Halloweegan craftiness coming up next week! More food too, but right now I'm feeling more crafty than bakey.
Have you made any Halloween crafts? The Halloweegan Flickr group is hungry for creepy treats and spooky craftiness! :)
EDIT to add that I'm an airhead and forgot to mention that this is an official entry to Shellyfish's W.I.P Wednesday... on a Friday. Check out Shelly's too cute black cat craftiness! *SQUEE!*
