Blizzard Entertainment is proud to announce the 2012 Battle.net World Championship, a major global eSports event featuring some of the best pro-gaming competition in the world. Slated to take place in Asia toward the end of 2012, the Battle.net World Championship will host this year's StarCraft II and World of Warcraft Arena World Championship tournaments. Blizzard gamers and eSports fans from around the world will be invited to attend and witness some of the most skilled pro players on the planet battle it out for cash and glory.
We're excited to be showcasing Blizzard eSports on a truly global stage this year. We're also heavily focused on getting Diablo III, Mists of Pandaria, and Heart of the Swarm into players' hands as soon as possible. In light of our jam-packed schedule, we've decided to hold the next BlizzCon in 2013.
More details about the 2012 Battle.net World Championship and BlizzCon 2013, including specific dates and locations, will be coming in the months ahead.
World of Warcraft fans have one final chance to take part in this auction, and get a piece of Blizzard Entertainment history. Recent changes to the hardware running the various World of Warcraft realms in Europe have made a unique opportunity available to players. The old hardware has been carefully decommissioned and lovingly preserved in presentation cases (see attached pictures), and the final batch of retired EU server blades are now available for bidding on eBay; this is the very final step in the charity auction that began in October. Net proceeds will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
St. Jude is a pediatric hospital and research facility where patients from Europe and around the world are cared for. European medical professionals benefit from the discoveries made at St. Jude in their treatment of children with cancer and other serious illnesses. Partner clinics across the globe are aided by the hospital's valuable research.
If you thought your chance had gone… think again! You can go place your bids now.
For more details, and to view the auction schedule for this final batch of server blades, please visit this blog post on our World of Warcraft community site. More information on St. Jude is also available on their website.
Great news for all Blizzard fans! From today, our latest games are available at retail and on the Blizzard Store at new, permanently low prices. You can now get Wrath of the Lich King for a mere €19.99, Cataclysm for €29.99 or StarCraft II for just €39.99! There's never been a better time to grab the games you might have missed out on before. Just click here and celebrate the New Year by taking advantage of our new, permanently low prices! Still don´t have World of Warcraft? Now you can get the full game and both expansions for only €54.99!
It's a rare occasion when we're able to mark the 15-year anniversary of not only a game, but an entire universe. In 1996, the original Diablo® introduced gamers to the cursed town of Tristram… and the twisted, ancient evil that dwelled beneath it. Diablo II and its expansion, Lord of Destruction®, transformed a claustrophobic dungeon-crawler into a sprawling adventure that drew players into the wider world of Sanctuary. Today, with Diablo III on the horizon, we'd like to celebrate all of the memorable moments that have marked the last decade and a half of Diablo history.
Please join us in celebrating Diablo's 15-year anniversary -- and we invite you to share your own Diablo memories with us by using the Twitter hashtag #Diablo15.

He was working on a Tobbi Dala build, and used some quality parts, including the GMH helmet (#29), of which he filled in the dent with plumber's putty (and drilled three holes to help seat the putty). In the future, if I ever decide to convert Tobbi Dala back to Boba Fett, is it possible to remove the plumber's putty and maintain the integrity of the GMH? Or, is the GMH "ruined" (for lack of a better term...the guy did a great job on the Dala build).

Wise Reflection:
The Importance of
Wise Reflection in Meditation
The purpose of this essay is to explain the value of wise reflection, yoniso manasikara, and to encourage readers to use their own thought processes for the growth of wisdom in their formal meditation practice. The majority of experienced Buddhist meditators whom I have met during thirty years of meditation and eighteen years of teaching were unfamiliar with formal reflective meditation. By way of this essay I hope to correct this lack of understanding.
The Buddha himself greatly stressed the importance of wise reflection. In an important discourse on the topic of wise reflection, the Sabbasava Sutta (MN 2), the Buddha says:
"I say that the getting rid of anxieties and troubles is possible for one who knows and sees, not for one who does not know and see. What must one know and see in order to get rid of anxieties and troubles? Wise reflection and unwise reflection.
For one who reflects unwisely, there arise anxieties and troubles that have not yet arisen, and those that have already arisen increase. But for one who reflects wisely, anxieties and troubles that have not yet arisen do not arise, and those already arisen disappear."
What is yoniso manasikara? Yoniso manasikara is a Pali term that can be translated as wise reflection. This includes systematic attention, careful attention, reasoned attention, having thorough method in one's thought, proper consideration, wise consideration, critical reflection, analytical reflection, or thinking in terms of causal relations or by way of problem solving. Yoniso manasikara is a significant factor leading to the arising of insight or wisdom.
What causes our mental suffering? Simply stated, it is wrong thinking that produces our mental dukkha (suffering). Right thinking will end our mental dukkha. Thus, it is important to use formal reflective meditation in order to develop right thinking.
In helping the reader to understand the importance of reflective meditation, much of this booklet is devoted to trying to correct meditation "myths." By "myths" I mean certain misunderstandings that many Buddhists have acquired. These misunderstandings are widespread, and as a result, many meditators do not realise the importance of reflective meditation and may even doubt some of the things written here. To support my understanding, I have included several relevant teachings from the scriptures that emphasize the importance of wise reflection.
For any of you who may experience doubts concerning what is written here, I ask you to follow the Buddha's advice to all of us, to seek the truth in order to dispel ignorance. If you are going to follow the Buddha in this way, then it is important that you stay open to what is presented. If you stay open, yet after reading find that you still have remaining doubts, feel free to contact me at the address at the end of this booklet. I welcome any wise discussion on anything presented here. I do believe, though, that if you are seriously interested in ending your mental dukkha, then what is written here will help you greatly.

Requiem for a Dream [Blu-ray] [Unrated]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
Theatrical Release: October 6, 2000 (NY) October 20, 2000 (LA) October 27, 2000 (General Release) According to Variety, Artisan originally appealed to the MPAA asking for an NC-17 rating on this film. That appeal was refused, the MPAA would not give the film a rating, so it was given unrated status, which greatly limited its theatrical release. According to Variety, the reason for the rating is a scene in which Jennifer Connelly's character has lesbian sex while a group of fully clothed men watch. However, other sources (such as New York magazine) attribute the rating to the film's devastating depiction of drug addiction. Ellen Burstyn performed much of the movie in a 40-pound body suit. Jared Leto shed a fifth of his normal body weight for his role in the film. After completing the intense film shoot, the actor shaved his head and checked himself into a monastery in Portugal. Novelist Hubert Selby Jr. worked with Aronofsky to adapt his novel to the big screen. REQUIEM FOR A DREAM contains more than 2,000 cuts. Sean Gullette, who played the lead in Aronofsky's debut film, PI, has a minor role as a psychologist in this film The haunting score for REQUIEM FOR A DREAM was composed by Clint Mansell, who also composed the music for director Darren Aronofsky's first movie, PI. Mansell is a member of the industrial music group Pop Will Eat Itself. The Online Film Critics Society named Mansell's work Best Original Score. The American Film Institute named the film among the 10 best of the year. The jurors include David Ansen, Bill Duke, Michael Nesmith, Steven Zaillian, Saul Zaentz, and Anne Thompson. Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly chose REQUIEM FOR A DREAM as the second best film of 2000; John Anderson of Newsday named it fifth best. Rober Ebert (EBERT AND ROEPER AT THE MOVIES), Peter Travers of Rolling Stone, Elvis Mitchell of the New York Times, and Jack Matthews of the New York Daily News named REQUIEM FOR A DREAM one of the 10 best films of 2000. Ellen Burstyn was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her outstanding performance. She was also voted Best Actress by the Las Vegas Film Critics Society, the Boston Society of Film Critics, the Florida Film Critics Circle, and the Online Film Critics Society. She also won a Career Achievement Award from the National Board of Review. The Online Film Critics Society named Darren Aronofsky Best Director; it also awarded the Best Editing prize to Jay Rabinowitz. Matt Zoller Seitz and Godfrey Cheshire of the New York Press named REQUIEM FOR A DREAM one of the 10 best films of 2000. Ellen Burstyn received the Career Achievement award from Al Pacino at the National Board of Review movie awards in January 2001.

The entire list
A9 TV - Kahramanmaraş Aksu TV ve Kackar TV, 14 July 2011
Adnan Oktar: These people [the Kurdish Workers' Party members] reveal their attitude very clearly. It is impossible to feign ignorance about it. About this issue, AS A SUPPORT TO THE STATE, OTHER PARTIES MUST ALSO REMOVE THEIR OPPOSITION. MHP (THE NATIONALIST MOVEMENT PARTY), AK PARTY (JUSTICE AND DEVELOPMENT PARTY), THE FELICITY PARTY, BBP (GREAT UNION PARTY) MUST, AS A SINGLE BODY, PRESENT A DECLARATION AND REVEAL THEIR ATTITUDE. This would be a great blow. Then a scientific struggle must follow, Insha'Allah.
Adana CRT TV, 30 September 2008
Adnan Oktar: Rightist-Leftist, Alawite, Kurds, Lazs, Circassians, Sunnis; it does not matter. We are all brothers. We are all servants of Allah.Allah has showed usa path,and we will all show respect to everyone's ideas but solidarity and untiy are essential. Those who love Allah, those who act in Allah's path are struggling for the betterment of this country and they will do so in the future. Turkey will, Insha'Allah, continue its efforts for the Turkish-Islamic Union.
Zaman, 16 October 2011
Kemal Kılıcdaroglu, the Chiarman of the Republican People's Party, said that terror hurts everyone. Kılıcdaroglu said, "The terror is no longer a matter of the party in power but of the all Turkey. All parties must take joint action to put an end to terror. We also have our solutions. The government remains deaf to our solutions whereas we are not acknowledged of their soultions. The process is not administered well."

Well it has come to that time & I thought I'd never see it! Due to the success of my business I am back to working half days, & I get to pick if it's the first half or last half .
In all seriousness, I am forced to cut back on my contributions to this hobby (80hr work weeks & a two year old will do that to you). I have a couple of small orders that are still pending that are taking me way too long to get out so I have decided to temporarily call it quits. What does this mean? I'm not going into retirement or disappearing but I am going to take a much needed break. I don't know when I'll be available again but I will continue to check in on the board (it's a great temporary distraction).
My last two orders are in the molds & I am trying to get them finished up this week. Aluminum RF posts will still be available for the Sgt Fang Mystery Helmet & I will answer these pms only. Thankyou everyone for your friendship.
See you around.

WOW this summer sure went by fast. 40 days to upland opining. Turkey , Dove, grouse, and partridge. Just as the fishing gets good it's time to hunt. I've tried to combine the two ,it doesn't work, I do a crappy job on both.
I'm thinking I'll start with a Sage grouse/ sharptail hunt, Maybe a dove or two if I can find any trees. Turkey here is kind of hit or miss here We would be IN turkey country but I have yet found numbers to be able to hunt them. I'll have my tag , Just in case. As luck would have it we would go to the same area I have tags for antelope, you bet I'll be looking around.

Rain and snow was sweeping across parts of the thirsty West for a third day Sunday, but experts say it will take much more wet weather for the region to catch up after months of drought.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport recorded 2.9 inches of snow Saturday night, shattering the record for the date set in 1957. The airport averages only 6.8 inches of snow annually, AccuWeather reported. Parts of Washington state have faced mild drought conditions.
Parts of Oregon and California also saw snow and rain. However, AccuWeather long-range forcaster Mark Paquette said the latest storms have hung a little north of the prime drought areas that stretch from San Francisco and northwestern Nevada down to Los Angeles.
"The good news is that the snow in the Sierra Nevadas the last few days has been measured in feet, not inches," Paquette said. "Since Los Angeles gets so much of its water from those mountains, the snow is big news."
In Willits, one of 17 rural communities that California's Department of Public Health recently described as dangerously low on water, City Councilman Bruce Burton said water levels in a local reservoir and his backyard pond are creeping up and small streams are flowing.
The city in the heart of redwood country usually sees about 50 inches of rain a year and was expected to get about 4 inches by Sunday.
"It's guarded optimism. We are a long ways from where we need to be, but we have to start with some sort of a raindrop," Burton said.
The area is trying to recover from one of the worst droughts in memory. Los Angeles, which averages about 20 inches of rain a year, got 3.6 inches of rain in 2013. Very little of the rain in the last few days reached much below San Francisco, Pacquette said. The region will need several storm systems spread out over months to resolve the drought issues, he said.
There are positives. Pacquette said a change in weather pattern is setting up that will improve the chance of rain and snow in the worst drought-stricken areas through February and into early March.
"Los Angeles and San Diego finally should see some rain," he said. "It's good news, for sure."

Treatments for eating disorders include counseling, education and medication. Find out what works.
Eating disorder treatment depends on your particular disorder and your symptoms. It typically includes a combination of psychological counseling (psychotherapy), nutrition education, medical monitoring and sometimes medications.
Eating disorder treatment also involves addressing other health problems caused by an eating disorder, which can be serious or even life-threatening if they go untreated for long enough. If an eating disorder doesn't improve with standard treatment or causes health problems, you may need hospitalization or another type of inpatient program.
Having an organized approach to eating disorder treatment can help you manage symptoms, regain a healthy weight, and maintain your physical and mental health.
You may start by seeing your family doctor or mental health counselor, such as a psychologist. You may also need to see other health professionals who specialize in eating disorder treatment. Other members of your treatment team may include:
It's best if everyone involved in your treatment communicates about your progress so that adjustments can be made to your treatment as needed.
Managing an eating disorder can be a long-term challenge. You may need to continue to see your doctor, psychologist or other members of your treatment team on a regular basis, even if your eating disorder and related health problems are under control.
You and your treatment team will determine what your needs are and come up with goals and guidelines. This will include a plan for treating your eating disorder and setting up treatment goals. It will also make it clear what to do if you're not able to stick with your plan or if you're having health problems related to your eating disorder.
Your treatment team can also:
Psychological counseling is generally the most important eating disorder treatment. It involves seeing a psychologist, a psychiatrist who specializes in psychotherapy or another mental health counselor on a regular basis.
Counseling may last from a few months to years. It can help you to:
Treatment may involve a combination of different types of counseling, such as:
Your psychologist or counselor may ask you to do homework, such as keep a food journal to review in counseling sessions, and identify triggers that cause you to binge, purge or do other unhealthy eating behaviors.
Registered dietitians and other professionals involved in your treatment can help you better understand your eating disorder and help you develop a plan to maintain healthy eating habits. Goals of nutrition education generally include:
Medications can't cure an eating disorder, but they may help you follow your treatment plan. They're most effective when combined with psychological counseling. Antidepressants are the most common medications used to treat eating disorders that involve binge-eating or purging behaviors, but depending on the situation, other medications are sometimes prescribed.
Taking an antidepressant may be especially helpful if you have bulimia or binge-eating disorder. Antidepressants can also help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder, which frequently occur along with eating disorders.
You may also need to take medications for physical health problems caused by your eating disorder.

- General Puppy Stuff (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-puppy-stuff/)
- - Help! What to do after surgery?! (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-puppy-stuff/483801-help-what-do-after-surgery.html)
Help! What to do after surgery?!
So Sandor (our 4 month old white GSD) started throwing up on Tuesday afternoon, kept throwing up through the night and into the morning. He also had a nasty bought of diarrhea.
We took him into the vet on Wednesday morning and they said he had a fever and wanted to do x-rays for a possible bowel obstruction. They gave him antibiotics and fluids, did the x-rays and saw strange gas patterns and were concerned about the placement of his stomach.
They kept him for the day and x-rayed him 2 more times throughout the day/evening. We met the vet at 7:20 pm last night and she went over everything and sent us home with him with instructions to bring him back in the morning for another x-ray to see if surgery was needed.
Brought him back this morning and the new vet on duty does the x-ray says he's still concerned and is 90% sure there is something that needs to be removed. He says he can do a barium test, but that it isn't really necessary since he's 90% sure and then we'd have to wait until tomorrow to do the surgery. He says that if we wait Sandor could get worse, especially if there is an obstruction.
They do the surgery and there is NOTHING there. NOTHING. Not a gosh darn thing. So upset right now that they did an unnecessary surgery on my poor puppy.
So now to my question- We are going to follow up with a new vet, but in the mean time, when we bring him home tonight is there anything I should do to make it easier on him/us?? I was thinking of getting Puppy pads to keep him from having to go down the elevator and outside (we live in a condo). What do I do with him tomorrow, I'll be home with him all day. How do I keep him comfortable??
Please any advice is SO welcome, I'm a new puppy Mom and terrified!!
I would never do a surgery without being 100% sure about something. Poor pup, I'm sorry you're going through this.
I think if you're careful and go slow, you can take him to the elevator and outside, but be careful of stairs.
So if they didn't find anything obstructing, did they figure out what was causing the sickness?
Fingers crossed for a smooth recovery. Just try to keep him quiet and he should heal up ok! :)
Do you have any animal specialty hospitals in the area, when I don't
like a diagnosis I take my dog to Animal Specialty Group in Los Angeles, they are the absolute best.
I work with board certified specialists - who have NEGATIVE foreign body surgeries! unless it's a linear fb (something hard your can obviously see on xrays) then you can never be 100%. Even if you get an ultrasound done, sometimes it will STILL look like a foreign body but the surgery could be negative (thinking of a cat we cut. Xrays looked like a foreign body. Internal medicine doctor came in and said it looked like a foreign body on ultrasound. We cut, no foreign body. I would guess it was a hairball that was finally pushed through with iv fluids)
I had a great doctor once say "if you don't have negative foreign bodies, you're not cutting enough".
What he meant was - it's dangerous to wait too long. Intestine starts to died. Then it will eventually leak. The dog will then go septic. Then the dog dies. If you wait until the intestine is dead, then instead of a simple incision into the intestine you actually have to cut out entire sections. Much higher risk of suture failure, sepsis.
As I said above many times you can never be 100%. You have to go off clinical signs and what the diagnostics look like. If you wait too long your dog could easily be dead. Sometimes it is just safer to go in and cut
I honestly would have rather they cut open and found nothing, then to wait and have my puppy possibly die..
Sure we never want unnecessary surgeries but vets aren't gods either..

Your poor puppy!!!
I am with the others. With foreign bodies, you don't wait. If you are relatively sure, you cut. Barium studies, while useful, can be falsely negative and positive. I have been a part of many negative exploratories. They happen. It's not uncommon and does not mean your vet did anything wrong. Most foreign bodies do not show up on X-ray.
Try to keep your pup as quiet as possible. Walks on leash for potty and that it, for a week or so.

Thanks for all of the replies. Sandor is doing great. He's back at full energy and feeling wonderful (which is making us crazy because he's still on restricted activity!). We've gotten lots of new toys/mental stimulation toys and we've been doing lots of free shaping to keep him busy. He also loves Himalayan Yak Chews, so we grabbed a couple of those to keep him quiet. He's been napping a lot as the pain meds keep him pretty drowsy.
(Can't get the photo to upload the right direction, but he's still super cute in his t-shirt)

A Mistake with Repercussions
Today, Science published an important comment pointing out that there were serious errors in a climate research article that it published in October 2004. The article concerned (Von Storch et al. 2004) was no ordinary paper: it has gone through a most unusual career. Not only did it make many newspaper headlines [New Research Questions Uniqueness of Recent Warming, Past Climate Change Questioned etc.] when it first appeared, it also was raised in the US Senate as a reason for the US not to join the global climate protection efforts. It furthermore formed a part of the basis for the highly controversial enquiry by a Congressional committee into the work of scientists, which elicited sharp protests last year by the AAAS, the National Academy, the EGU and other organisations. It now turns out that the main results of the paper were simply wrong.
Von Storch et al. claimed to have tested the climate reconstruction method of Mann et al. (1998) in model simulations, and found it performed very poorly. Now, Eugene Wahl, David Ritson and Caspar Amman show that the main reason for the alleged poor performance is that Von Storch et al. implemented the method incorrectly. What Von Storch et al. did, without mentioning it in their paper, was to remove the trend before calibrating the method against observational data – a step that severely degrades the performance of Climate Field Reconstruction (CFR) methods such as the Mann et al. method (unfortunately this erroneous procedure has already been propagated in a paper by Burger and Cubasch (GRL, 2005) where the authors refer to a personal communication with Von Storch to justify the use of the procedure). Another more recent analysis has shown that CFR methods perform well when used correctly. (See our addendum for a less technical description of what this is all about).
How big a difference does this all make? The calibration error in the temperature minimum around 1820, where one of the largest errors occurs, is shown as 0.6ºC in the standard case of 75% variance in the Von Storch et al analysis. This error reduces to 0.3ºC even in the seriously drift-affected ECHO-G run when the erroneous detrending step is left out. In the more realistic HadCM3 simulation, this error is just above 0.1ºC. The error margins (2 sigma) provided by Mann et al. and pictured in the IPCC report are ±0.17ºC (Fig. 2.21, the curves are reproduced in our addendum). It is therefore clear that the model test of Von Storch et al, had it been implemented correctly, would have shown a small but undramatic underestimation of variance and would have barely ruffled a feather.
Error made, error corrected, and all is well? Unfortunately not. A number of questions remain, which need to be resolved before the climate science community can put this affair to rest.
The first is: why did it take so long to correct this error, and why did the authors of the original paper not correct it themselves? The error is reasonably easy to spot, even for non-specialists (see addendum). And it was in fact spotted very soon after publication. In January 2005, a comment was submitted to Science which correctly pointed out that Von Storch et al. had calibrated with detrended data and had therefore not tested the Mann et al. method. As such comments are routinely passed to the original authors for a response, Von Storch et al. must have become aware of their mistake at this point at the latest. However, the comment was rejected by Science in May 2005.

6 Ways to Waste Your College Education
It's halfway through another semester of college, and the excitement of beginning a new year is winding down, and winter break is looking better and better. Each academic year starts with the best of intentions, but by the end of it many of you, even the ones who get good grades, will have become terrible students. Some of you, after graduation, will realize you threw away your entire academic careers.
You're going to meet more people who are different from you than who are like you. You might even become friends with these people. And you will be better for it.
Wasting your education is easier than you might think, and doesn't just happen by forgetting to study. Here's a list of six surefire ways you can sabotage your next four years.
1. Fail to become a student of culture, by isolating yourself from anything new or uncomfortable.
We've all heard it: College is a "dark place." It's full of liberals, postmoderns, party-goers, religious fanatics, environmentalists and other "dangers" to your faith. You've been told to avoid these people, hole up in a nice Christian community and work on that law degree. This is your only hope for escaping higher education. But it needn't be so. College is a blend of cultures, races, religions and political views. You're going to meet more people who are different from you than who are like you. You might even become friends with these people. And you will be better for it. The best decision I ever made in college was to move in with a Jewish roommate; Some of my best friends from college are Iraqi Shia Muslims. My relationships with those people have not only given me a broader view of the world, but they have stretched and strengthened my faith in ways that it wouldn't have been otherwise.
2. Accept "sexy" new worldviews without critically examining them.
According to a recent study, more than half of you will experience religious decline during your college years. As hard as your youth pastor tried, you may not be prepared to defend your faith in the marketplace of ideas that is college. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. You will be introduced to some compelling arguments that combat the philosophies you grew up with, and some arguments that seem more compelling than they really are. You will learn that responding with a simple, "You just have to believe" or "It's something you just feel," won't cut it; it actually belittles your skeptical friends by assuming they are emotionally inferior. College is a great chance for you to get a good, long look at some competing philosophies. Study them, respect them, savor their complexity. But don't buy into them if you haven't given Christian apologists an opportunity to respond. The Bible is full of complex issues, and Christian history is full of thoughtful people who have wrestled with them, if you care to look. In most cases, Ecclesiastes 1:9 is applicable: "There is nothing new under the sun."
3. Don't have a crisis of faith.
During your four years or more in academia, you will probably challenge the intellectual foundations of your long-held beliefs, and you may even have doubts. This is a good thing. In fact, a crisis of faith in early adulthood is probably the best thing for your faith. Earnest soul searching leads to a deeper, more genuine faith. By searching for solutions to your unanswered philosophical questions you'll learn a great deal not just about your religion, but about yourself. While the pursuit of truth is important, remember that it is a means to an end. Don't get caught in "seeker" mode. Many self-proclaimed "truth seekers" unintentionally assume that they are more intellectually sincere than firm believers. As G.K. Chesterton pointed out in his book, Orthodoxy: "Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid."
4. Believe that your studies don't matter to God as much as "ministry" or "spiritual things."
If you went to youth group in high school, you'll probably spend your first few weeks of college searching for the right campus ministry. Eventually, you'll find one that meets your needs, with people you like. Good for you. You'll have a great freshman year. Come sophomore year, things might get more challenging. You'll lead Bible studies, organize outreaches, run charity drives or all three. By junior year you may notice a widening disparity between the amount of time you spend doing "spiritual things" and all the rest: your studies, your classmates, your extracurricular activities. By senior year, you may look around and realize that you don't have any close non-Christian friends. Without knowing it, you've made mistake #1. Again, it needn't be so. All of your college experience is spiritual, not just the Christianity-related activities. Bible studies and prayer meetings are not the only acts of worship you can do in college. The use of your God-given mind in diligent study is an act of worship, even if you're just memorizing vectors. The use of your body in athletics is a recognition of God's good creation of the human body. The very act of using words to convey an idea (in an essay, or a story) displays the image of God, who created the universe through words.
All of these things are immensely spiritual before any "spiritual" element is attached to them. Your education's spiritual significance is not measured by the amount of formal ministry that accompanies it, because it is already spiritual by nature.
The Bible is full of complex issues, and Christian history is full of thoughtful people who have wrestled with them, if you care to look.
5. Isolate yourself from other Christians.
All of this information about "spiritual" and "non-spiritual" things might make you think you don't need to bother with all that formal ministry stuff. You might be thinking, I can get all the spiritual exercise I need by writing research papers and without a stuffy Bible study, thank you very much. And you would be wrong. Even if you can write very spiritual research papers, how do you expect to hear God's voice in college if you're not regularly interacting with His people? Most of Jesus' commands simply can't be done in the singular, but require participation in a group. These groups are often messy, disorganized, uncool or even flawed. And they are certainly full of flawed people. But the alternative—going through college on your own—is far worse.
6. Fail to let your faith inform your craft.
How does a Christian civil engineer design a bridge? Answering this question as it relates to your field is the heart of your education. The Gospel is applicable to all parts of life, including your profession. It should make your work look different from the status quo. This doesn't mean that your bridge has "John 3:16" painted across its side, or that non-Christians make bad bridges. I don't know what it looks like to build a bridge in a Christian way. But If you're a civil engineer who is allowing your faith to inform your life, it's your job to figure that out. The gospel gives us a compelling means, over time and with many mistakes, to become the ethical professionals the world needs us to be. That's adulthood. And that's what college is all about.

The more we learn about our craft while simultaneously learning about God makes us see that God does indeed care about our craft. This helps us feel at peace while doing "secular" things like studying formulas or writing essays. Academics and spiritual things go hand-in-hand because God not only cares about both, but also receives glory from both. As the author said, everything is spiritual!
I wish I could of read this going into my freshmen year of college. As I wrap up my junior year of college I can say that each of these are so true. I love that I started talking and better yet becoming friends to people in my department. I've learned so much not just about life, but more about Jesus and what he meant about following him with my life.

Yes, and we need to be careful with the fourth point, as true as it is. Everything we do - sinners who are lost OR sinners who are saved - is a result of God's sovereignty. But if we start thinking everything we do is spiritual then we could get complacent about things that should be very natural outflows of being saved by Christ.
Since Jesus is our king, and he is good to us, we really should tell people how good he is. Believers, nonbelievers, who cares? If a country were to have a good president, the people would love to talk about him to fellow citizens and people abroad too, celebrating with neighbours and inviting foreigners to enjoy the country the president has shaped so well. We are the same - Jesus has made a great life for us, right? A king who died for his people, gives them hope, joy and love, and will reign forever above all other kings?
Everything is spiritual but there is only one Spirit, and he's a Spirit who pushes us towards loving our Father and telling others that Jesus is Lord.
This a very realistic article. Questioning is a good thing.
Dustin - 'everything we do is a result of God's sovereignty' ?
The last time I swore at a pushy driver was a result of God's sovereignty?

There is a function called airplane mode where you could entirely disable all wireless communications or, better yet, turning it off. That, however, fills teens with dread and paranoia. Lol

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sylvia, Apr 3, 2013.
Enjoyed it all!
I love all the three dancers' routine plus Oksana's. Very empressed by Oksana and her partner, so smooth and she was so elegant, those beautiful lines are still OGM worthy. I hardly remember her but gosh she's good.
Shae-Lynne has been my favorite for all those seasons and I personally believe she should have won.
I had debated if I'm going to watch because one of the judges, and I have my finger fixed on the "mute " button. It turned out not that bad, except that "how about winning, oh, wait, you know nothing about it", where is class or respect, oh, wait, maybe never there.
Anyway, a good start of a great show, although I'm confused by some of the music selections too, nowhere near rock&roll, especially Oksana and Jessica's.
I'm sorry for the American girl, not Amenda, the other one. I guess she will be the first one to leave again. Sorry, but it is still a competition, however entertaining it is.
Violetta needs to work on her facial expression, not very appealing to me.
Team Marie-France, got the lion's share of my votes cuz they esp him demonstrated a good variety of skating skills, steps, etc., not just tricks... plus their charities also struck a chord, then surprisingly I also voted for Team Jessica (they really created a mood on the ice), Team Sinead (most fun and flashy esp with the gender bender lift but skating was a little wild and rough not quite in sync yet), and of course I voted for Team Shae too, (a good first effort but confess I expected bit more from them as a team, it can't always be Shae skating round her hockey guy), and Oksana (some very nice shapes being created, but a little introverted still, however I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed their performance) got the rest of my votes this week. Every team was good though, no team really tanked, I found all the performances were pretty entertaining and all the guys stood up for the first week, still some teams have to be in the bottom. This year's cast looks quite promising, I am looking forward to next week.
jamies comment to pj about "wining" was
pj brings a great persepctive to the pannel-
I agree about the dancers .. Shae should win this season How do you rate the couples to earn more votes?
I liked Jess and Brian and SHe and anson wow shae still brings it!!!!
I'm so upset I missed this tonight! My VCR (yes my VCR ) is messed up....is it available on youtube or anywhere online?
I just clicked on the rate the skaters link on the home page, but I think you can only do it right after the show because that page is not there anymore (or maybe I don't see it because I already did the rating..)
Review of the first show
You can do it for each of the couples right after they skate, while the show is on.
Great recap! And Shae is "amazeballs"! Thanks again, Alvyne; you're finding the good stuff.
I can't vote for my favourite couple because the screen is blank on the right side, after the word Leaderboard. Two couples photos are missing in the voting area. And I can't find where to get extra votes (where is it?) so I only get to vote once. Is something wrong with my computer or the site?
thanks for the info Alvyne and victorskidm Otherwise my one vote won't go too far LOL
I am not certain what you mean by "the screen is blank on the right side." It sounds as if the right side of your display has been truncated.
After the word "Leaderboards", there should be "Extras" and "Help". Within "Extras", there are various link buttons. One is "Challenges". That is where you complete the puzzles and trivia quizzes to get extra points.
Thanks for responding rvi5.
My screen is truncated on the side and the words Extras and Help are missing, as are the photos of two couples, including the one I wanted to vote for.
I guess I'll be getting one vote. Oh well!
Sheesh, what does Jamie have to do to get a break from people? That was a humorous comment made to make the audience laugh. I thought her comments were thoughtful and constructive - clearly an indication that she'd studied the skaters in advance. Let's give credit where credit is due.
I expect the world from Shae by now, but I didn't feel she and Anson came up short. HE impressed me - a hockey fan mentioned to me he wasn't a great skater in the NHL, so I was relieved to see him keep up. I think they'll be an interesting team.
LOVED Oksana & Partner. Simple, but effective. Sinead and Grant, too. Everyone else save Marie France just kind of fell on the meh spectrum for me.
Her comment was meant as humourous and to try to build a chemistry with PJ like Sandra had with JR-- I get that-- But it fell like a brick. She was so hot and cold as a judge. She'd have great comments, but by the end of the show I figured out a drinking game where you take a shot every time she made it about her, her experience, etc. That being said, she wasn't nearly as bad as I thought she would be.
Everything PJ said referred back to himself and his own experience in hockey - so is it all about him? Kurt does the same thing - at least when he's not sick. That's why they're there - to use their experience to make the judging sound at least somewhat professional. The entire show did feel a bit forced, but I actually thought Ron and Jamie carried it. And for the record, I thought that remark was funny.
Well, let's just agree that we have different funny bones
I think Jessie and Brian are going to do really well.. Nice to see Bryce on her team helping coach them..
The winning comment was ment to be funny but it came across as rude I totally agree with you in her other points , she gave good info about the lift ( backwards - I never noticed!) and about cross overs and such - I found apt hat she was reaching sometimes to give positives likely as these are her friends!!! I find Kurt the judge I don't really want to hear, I just want to see him skate!!!! The opening was amazing!!
I will leave all the snark about Jamie to the rest of you.....I just want that hair of hers!
No kidding - her hair looked fab.
I thought Jamie was fine as a judge, and her winning comment was funny. PJ wasn't offended, why should anyone else be?
Speaking of Jamie, interview about her role as a judge
I didn't think her comment to PJ was offensive. It just didn't land well and came across as un-funny, like a few other moments of hers. All the judges ran into that more than I recall Sandra and JR did, but it's the first show with a whole new panel. It just takes time.
She looked really good in general, especially after having a baby. I wanted her shirt/dress/thing.
I wonder if Mr. Button feels slighted that he is not back on the judging panel?
The judges were as expected. Kurt did some nice skating at the beginning in hockey skates. Missed the first part of that as I did not know he was skating. Wonder if that will be every week? I wonder if he left the "Scruff" on his face to show that he was too sick to shave, or if he rested till the last minute then found that nobody there in the make-up dept. had a razor for him to shave before he had to be on camera.
In both the preview/look back show and this first show, I thought they showed way too many ridiculous hockey fights to call this "Family Entertainment". We get the idea they are "Manly Men" and really didn't need the fights emphasized. We are trying to reduce the amount of violence among our young men, so I'd rather they used that time to show something else.
On a positive note it was nice during the preview show to hear some additional info on the previous skaters. I imagine they will show more behind the scenes trainings and all of that when time permits as skaters are eliminated. I felt a bit sorry for the hockey players who had sad packages played right before they had to perform.
I am glad the show is back! Didn't they used a rotating guest judge in a previous season?
Anyone found it on youtube yet
I thought it was funny too, blueglass. PJ has joked about not winning in the past (he said that he wasn't used to raisng his arms up over his head because he didn't score often). And the other players teased him about not winning in the reunion show, so it was funny because i know he was open to that kind of ribbing. And i totally agree with you about her comments as well (and i say this as someone who has taken issue with what she said in the past). So far, i like her as a judge. And he looked gorgeous!
I was so excited for this season when they announced that my lovely Shae was coming back and that Oksana Kazakova had joined the cast (i felt she and her partner were undermarked, btw). All the couples impressed me. Looks to be an exciting season!
And thanks so much for the links, Alvyne!
Just checked on my ipad verion of youtube, which is limited, and could only fnd behind the scenes stuff posted by CBC. I will post if i find any of the performances.

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:15pm
WORCESTER, Mass. – Senior Edison Parzanese (Edgartown, Mass.) recorded seven points with one goal and a career-best six assists, while sophomore Colin McGeehin (Newtown Square, Pa.) scored a career-best five goals and junior Douglas Broussard (Floral Park, N.Y.) picked up a career-best 10 ground balls as the Holy Cross men's lacrosse team defeated Quinnipiac, 17-10, in non-conference action on Saturday afternoon on Senior Day at the new Holy Cross Field. The 17 goals are the most Holy Cross has scored since its 18-11 victory over Siena on April 4, 2001. With the win, the Crusaders improve to 4-9 overall, while the Bobcats fall to 5-5 overall.
"The team played great," said Holy Cross head coach Adam Pascal. "McGeehin and Broussard really had outstanding performances along with Parzanese. But it was also a well rounded team victory. It was great for the seniors to play so well after being honored before the game."
Parzanese's six assists tied for fifth all-time at Holy Cross for a single-game performance. Senior Kenny Minor (South Hadley, Mass.) recorded three goals and one assist for four points, while senior Chris Smirti (Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.) scored three goals and freshman James Kennedy (Summit, N.J.) posted two goals and one assist. Minor has recorded at least one point in all 13 games this season. Sophomore Brent Ferraro (Islip, N.Y.), sophomore Andrew Morici (Manhasset, N.Y.) and freshman Myles Gillespie (Rye, N.Y.) each scored one goal, while junior Colin Flood (Bay Shore, N.Y.) posted one assist. Sophomore A.J. Guarente (Gaithersburg, Md.) won 15 of 26 face-offs, while sophomore David Henry (Davidsonville, Md.) led all players with four caused turnovers.
Quinnipiac was led by Jack Oppenheimer as he recorded three goals and one assist for four points.
The Crusaders outscored the Bobcats by a 10-1 margin in the first half. McGeehin, Minor and Smirti and each scored two goals in the half, while Morici, Kennedy, Gillespie and Ferraro each found the back of the net once. Parzanese has three assists in the half.
Quinnipiac outscored Holy Cross, 9-7, in the second half as the Crusaders earned the 17-10 win. McGeehin netted three goals in the half, while Parzanese recorded one goal and three assists. Kennedy, Minor and Smirti each posted one goal.
Senior goalie Connor Sweeney (South Salem, N.Y.) stopped 14 of 23 shots for a .609 save percentage to earn the victory, while freshman Ian Garrahy (East Greenwich, R.I.) made his first collegiate save. Kevin Benzing made five saves for Quinnipiac and Jamie Prudden stopped four shots. The Bobcats outshot the Crusaders, 50-33, while Holy Cross went 2-7 on extra-man opportunities and Quinnipiac went 1-6. The Crusaders picked up 49 ground balls and Quinnipiac earned 28, while Holy Cross caused 10 turnovers and Quinnipiac caused eight.
The Crusaders return to action on Tuesday, April 20, when they play their last home game of the season when they meet Bryant in non-conference action at 7:00 p.m., at the new Holy Cross Field.

My husband is currently working as a scaffolder in the Uk and he would like a change of career, so is thinking of looking into doing a TEFL course.
The problem is that he doesn't have a degree, I know that this is a problem is some places for visa purposes but would he find it really hard to find work in Europe generally? Specifically we would love to be in Portugal as well.....would this be a huge problem?
Many thanks for any help

I just received my FettPride helmet (FPH, not GMH), after Fett 4 Real spent a bit of time assembling and painting it for me, and I can't express how fantastic the workmanship of both guys is. The helmet and paint work both exceed what I'd imagined they'd look like. They were both great guys to deal with, communicative, and I'll definitely be hitting both of you up again.
Thanks again guys!

Hello & Welcome to the forum.
A lot of the info for these is hard to come by, I don't understand why since so many were built already.
I'm not going to completely answer your questions but will give what info I can for now. I'm starting a build and was going to try to document it.
1) The semi parts from Project Guns (also a member here, Pirate) is either $125 or 150, it is based on the Wise Lite Arms design but I've heard there were some minor changes made to better the reliability. I don't think it comes with directions, unless that changed recently.
2) I never heard of any complaints about the shorties, you should be good to go.

Jevon Tarantino
Jan. 15, 2005
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The No. 11 Tennessee men's swimming team picked up a big SEC win over LSU 127-105 while fighting to the end in a loss to ACC-power Virginia 135-103 Saturday at the UT Student Aquatic Center.
"Despite a fast start in the 200 I.M., we were unable to waver Virginia," UT head coach John Trembley said. "LSU showed great spirit and they are a young team that will get better quickly."
Sophomore Jevon Tarantino returned to the pool Saturday in his first action in over a month with two wins on the 1-meter and 3-meter springboards. On the 1-meter board, Tarantino (345.10) defeated Niko Dalman (287.75) of LSU who finished second while fellow Vol Ryan Rincon (262.45) finished fourth. On 3-meter, Tarantino (370.50) again topped Dalman (276.55), who finished second while Rincon (269.50) finished third. Both scores were season highs for Tarantino.
"I'm really pleased to have Jevon back on the boards," UT diving coach Dave Parrington said. "He scored season highs on both boards."
"Jevon Tarantino's return was outstanding today. He dove extremely well under less than ideal physical conditions," Trembley added.
Junior Bryan Goldberg won the 200-yard freestyle in 1:39.50. Fran Crippen of Virginia finished second in 1:40.09, edging Vol Jason Thomas who finished third in 1:40.52.
"Bryan Goldberg raced hard in his win in the 200 free," Trembley said.
The 200-yard medley relay team of Josh Fulton, Kiel Huston, Andrew Engle and Tyler Gustafson won in 1:30.78 with Gustafson anchoring the team.
Gustafson finished second in the 100-yard freestyle in 45.29. Michael Raab of Virginia won in 44.68. Goldberg finished fourth in 46.28 with freshman Octavio Alesi following in fifth in 46.61.
Freshman Michael Wolfe finished second in the 200-yard backstroke in 1:49.28. Cavalier Bo Greenwood finished first in 1:48.87.
The Vols return to action next Saturday against SEC rival Georgia at the UT Student Aquatic Center at 11 a.m.
