VOICE OVER: Team CeeLo Faces Off Against Team Blake as the Fab Four Become Three
After the last two weeks' eliminations on NBC's The Voice, I really I didn't know what to believe in anymore. Two weeks ago, an extremely talented fan favorite, Dez Duron, was sent home, and last week Adam Levine's last two mentees, including powerhouse rocker Amanda Brown, left as well. It's times like those when you just have to wonder what all of the voters in America were thinking. So tonight, the Fab Four became only three, and I was bracing myself for another one of my favorites to leave. At the start of tonight's show, the only contestants left were from Teams CeeLo Green and Blake Shelton. So don that more than adequate pessimism and let the nerve-wracking evening begin!
Miss any of the previous weeks? Make sure to check the past recaps on BWW.com!
It was the consensus that the members of Team Blake were the stars of last night, and Scotsman Terry McDermott was "musical perfection" according to his coach. Performances from The Voice were reportedly #1 on the rock and pop charts this week, and all four of the contestants' songs were in the top purchased songs on iTunes as well. Blake and CeeLo bragged on the two from their teams, and Adam and Christina contributed profusely kind words as well. Adam said, ""All the people in top four are-I'm so proud of them! We share the same pride as their coaches with these incredible singers. It was a relief last night, because I wasn't stressed, just enjoying it. I'm proud and thrilled for these four and all they've accomplished." Christina could not say enough about how important song choices were and how both CeeLo and Blake have gotten that right all along, "What's interesting is how CeeLo was able to tune in to Nicholas in such a great way to work with the song choices. And Blake going country with Cassadee has been a strong point because she can deliver them beautifully. They're all so talented, and they've grown leaps and bounds."
Then the coaches of the current contestants got to brag on their couples a little bit. "There's a lot of work that still needs to be done until next week," Blake admitted. "You can get in danger if you overthink a performance. You have to find the balance. This crap's hard! It's freakin' hard! Gosh dangit!" Of last night's performances, CeeLo told The Voice host Carson Daly that he was proud of his mentees for being so genuine, "I think it was received with the utmost respect. I appreciate the courage it takes to get up there under these circumstances and be honest and vulnerable."
After so many warm and fuzzy remarks, Blake's Terry McDermott and Cassadee Pope sang "Little Talks" by Of Monsters and Men. Cassadee had beautiful, almost-1980s curly hair and actually bore a strong resemblance to Ariel (the heroine in Disney's The Little Mermaid), because she was in a cute sparkly dress that was green on the bottom and purple on the top. They sounded great, though Cassadee definitely delivered a more confident performance, which did not seem to completely go with the broken flavor of the lyrics.
The Voice Season 2 finalist Juliet Simms returned to the stage after that beautiful duet and performed her new single "Wild Child," and she gave Carson Daly some insight into what the current contestants were thinking at that moment. To ask her to address that in the first place was definitely in the category of inane questions, and her answer was expected, "They're thinking 'Am I going home? Am I going to win? So many questions. Keep calm, know that you're amazing that you've made it that far.'" So true.
Carson also asked the contestants about what it was like to be this far. Cassadee, whose performance was #1 on iTunes last night, marveled, "People actually like us enough to vote! I feel like we've already won. But when you're this far, it's hard to not want to win." Trevin admitted that he really wanted to win because, "I want to be a voice for people who don't have a voice." With that in mind, Carson announced the first safe singer for this week: from Team Blake... Terry McDermott will advance!
Another former The Voice singer, country girl Rae Lynn sang her single, "I Want Your Boyfriend" which she wrote with some other people from The Voice.
To keep the human interest angle going, Carson asked the singers, "Who would you take on a desert island?" Their responses were hilarious and varied, but very thought through. Adam concluded, "If I brought CeeLo, he'd be constantly entertaining. If I brought Christina, the two of us would have some kind of super baby that could sing amazingly." And still in the desert island theme, Carson asked, "Who would survive best on a desert island?" Terry chose the safest bet, himself, saying, "I would do best on a desert island because I have no problem talking to myself."
The third returner of the night, opera-trained Chris Mann, sang his debut single "Roads," which was a beautiful song that sounded like a "You Raise Me Up" type of inspirational song. After his performance, he managed to tell all of his recent accomplishments in about the space of two minutes or less: He sang for the President recently, he released a Christmas album, which has a song featuring Christina Aguilera. Carson even commented on Chris's self-advertising skills, "He's a plugging machine. He got all those mentions in on live TV!"

A month before his deployment to Iraq, Matt Gallagher began a blog which he called, "Kaboom: A Soldier's War Blog." In June, Gallagher announced he had been ordered to cease offering his blog comments to the world. Someone was upset at his May 28 post which was entitled: "The Only Difference Between Suicide and Martyrdom is Press Coverage." The post which detailed Gallagher turning down a promotion so he could stay with his platoon was not approved by his commander before being published. In his last post, he wrote: "It's totally on me, as it was too much unfiltered truth. I'm a soldier first, and orders are orders. So it is." Gallagher was was promoted to the rank of captain believes the important thing is getting Americans involved in thinking about the war regardless of whether they support it or not.
Captain Gallagher began the blog as a way of expressing his feelings and communicating with his family. During World War II, great war correspondents like Ernie Pyle were with the men in the front lines and wrote about their lives without glossing over the situation.(Pyle died in the front lines). Bill Mauldin used his wit and cartoons to lambast the military and its officers. When, a general wanted to shut him down, General Eisenhower forbid the action saying American troops needed someone who expressed their feelings. It is unfortunate in the 21st century we lack officers like Dwight Eisenhower who understood the importance of allowing men on the front line to express their emotions without fear of censorship.

New details Lorain murder-suicide
Lorain, (AP) - Police in northeast Ohio have released more information about an apparent weekend murder-suicide that left three people dead.
Police in Lorain say they believe 31-year-old Shone Whitney entered through a bathroom window to confront his 29-year-old estranged wife, Halyna Whitney, and her 33-year-old boyfriend, William Everett Jr.
Investigators believe Shone Whitney fatally shot the other two before turning the gun on himself sometime early Sunday.
Police said Halyna Whitney's two children - a 7-year old girl and 1-year-old boy - were in the house at the time of the shootings but weren't hurt.
The (Lorain) Morning Journal reports that investigators are examining four guns found at the scene.

I'll bite. What did that prove except he was a moron?
On Guns & Ammo TV tonite they previewed a guy swinging a baseball bat at a Mark III.
I'll bite. What did that prove except he was a moron?
They bent the barrel and the trigger guard. After straightening the barrel they were able to fire off one round. They sure did trash a nice looking gun.
Well thats good info to know,I mean someone is ALWAYS coming up behind me and trying to hit my pistol with a baseball bat so I cant defend myself with it.
LOL, I thought it was a waste of a perfectly good Ruger. No all metal pistol can take a beating like that.
The same program also determined not long ago that after wetting and burying a Ruger 10/22 in kitty litter that it will still function.
So... if you are in a kitty litter desert and your are using your Ruger rimfires to parry baseball bats, you're good to go. That's useful info there.
I wonder if they just do it for the shock factor.

As Barack Obama took the oath of office, thousands of Jakartans poured through the streets of their city celebrating the new president whom they considered to be one of their own due to the years he spent in Indonesia as a boy in elementary school. Students at St. Fransiskus ASISI elementary school went wild with joy as their eyes witnessed a boy who had attended their school become the new president of the United States. Aisya Nadine, a student said she hoped "he will come visit us" and wanted her nation and the United States to work together to "change the world." Numerous celebration were taking place in Jakarta involving members of the business community and Americans who work in the area.
The principal of the school will replay the tape of the inauguration several times in order to make certain all students have seen it. There is a joy in Indonesia, the most populous Muslim nation in the world, since from their perspective one of their own has become president of the United States.

Hi All,
Does anyone know if Chuck (ruffkintoy) is alright or still around? I tried sending him several PM's but to no avail. Chuck, if your PM box is full please email me at email@example.com. I hope things are doing well with you.
I used to talk to him on AIM quite a bit, he's online now actually. What do you need from him?
Hi Andy, PM sent dude!
I think you would have best bet emailing him. I caught him online a few days ago and he IMed me back promptly. I'm actually expecting some things from him soon.
I know of some people who are waiting for their Gauntlets. they have sent him PM's but have not gotten a response and are quite worried.
Thanks Matt, I actually got his email...I'll try to contact him that way.
Thanks Ben, I can be patient when need be, but no contact for about a month even after several PM's can be cause for alarm. So hopefully we'll all hear from him soon.
your not the only one Gene :lol a couple of other people PM'd me saying the same thing. I'm sure he's busy and will get those out soon.
Ben. :thumbsup
Yeah that's not a problem, I can understand being busy with real life and being swamped with orders but at least let your customers know what is going on. He doesn't have to contact every single one of us, but instead he can post a thread that he is busy, or sick etc. so that we know what's going on and in turn can be extra patient.
I just got a bunch of missiles from him, and I had the best luck through his e-mail.I don't think he has been around here for a bit.
The best way to contact him is through email. He is probably just a little backed up right now. Just be persitant with the email, and he will get back to you. He is a great guy to deal with. He will come through for you.
i am in the same boat, so thanks mrgr for letting us know that!! getting kind of skeered of not getting my stuff!! =)
Anyone else need his e-mail?
Chuck is a stand-up guy give him time, he'll come through for you.;)
I just sent him an email so hopefully I'll hear from Chuck soon! Thank you guys for all your help! :)
Update: I just received an email from Chuck and he said my order should be going out tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. He has been very busy lately and he apologized for not being in touch.
My experience with him was outstanding. I needed a set of gauntlets for a present to me from my wife by a certain time (very quickly actually) and I got them with plent of time, faster than expected actually. Chuck's a stand up guy as has been said already. Don't worry, he'll come through.
got your pm, td! i am glad to hear the great ref's on chuck...been waiting for my order as well...hate to rush the man when so busy, just disconcerting when you dont hear from someone whom you have paid lots of money too! :)
Ive been waiting for a set of esb gauntlets from chuck for over 8 weeks now. Got an email from him to say his sending them out today. Hes sorry its been so long but hes delayed on other things. So all please be understanding. Chuck is a top chap and his prop work is fantastic.
Trust in Chuck was not really the issue it's more of not "being in the know" that concerned me.
Chuck is a cool guy. He came through when I needed his emergency assistance. Way to go Chuck!:thumbsup
I also understand your concern TD2253 and you are probably right.
Had many dealings with Chuck, and I agree with Fett Officer. Also, please remember where Chuck lives is very subject and affected by all of this cold, bad, freezing weather we have had recently. Fiberglass resin won't cure correctly unless the temp's are correct and I know Chuck won't do these unless he gets the shop warmed up to the correct temp to cure. Yes, sometimes you must be extremely patient if you want it done correct and by one of the best. So please, watch the weather as it warms up Chuck will start turning this stuff out quickly.
My 2 cents
Hey all,
Sorry I haven't been on here in a little while due to being busy so thats why I haven't got your PM's. Email is always best firstname.lastname@example.com
I should also be on here more often now as well so I will be able to reply to pm's.
Gauntlets received! Thanks again Chuck!:thumbsup:)

It would take a .454 to move the slide.
I don't know if this is the correct place to post this topic. But, just out of curiousity this semi-automatic handgun is to supposively be 390mm in total length and in the anime Alucard says it fires 13mm (but actualy its fires .454 casull rounds) armor piercing bullets.
Is this handgun a heavily modified Colt 1911 A1?
I'm also curious to hear anyone's comment/opinion on the handgun because even though its very impractical to wield, I think it looks pretty cool!
Its easier to just click on the link to look at the model of the handgun. http://translate.google.com/translat...Bgun%26hl%3Den

I just have one thing to say ........
It sort of does look like a chopped up 1911. The back strap and frame looks like it. Until you get to the trigger guard then its like they started cutting away. Which is weird because it looks like the frame is way to short and would crack something fierce with that kind of hard ware.
It seems to be inspired by the Coonan.
It's along the lines of a gas-operated pistol(Coonan, Wildley, Desert Eagle, etc.).

Ozuru's faith leads to 10-month internship in Africa
Release Date: 4/23/2013
University of the Ozarks junior Patience Ozuru has a calling. She feels compelled to change the world in whatever small way she can. Now, thanks to funding by the Academic Enrichment Fund, she is getting the chance to spend 10 months in Uganda working with children as part of Africa Renewal Ministries (ARM).
Starting in July, Ozarks junior Patience Ozuru will spend 10 months in Uganda working with children as part of an internship with Africa Renewal Ministries.
ARM is a non-profit organization working throughout Africa to provide child development centers focused on Christian foundations. Ozuru, a political science and international relations major from Little Rock, Ark., knew this organization represented the perfect opportunity for her to offer her help and learn more about her own future.
"After graduation, I want to work for a non-profit organization that puts political pressure on corrupt governments. This internship will allow me to get a feel for how non-profit organizations work," Ozuru said. "I'll be in Uganda for 10 months. Six months will be spent in Gaba, then another four months in Soroti."
Ozuru will be working in two different sectors of ARM's child development centers.
"In Gaba, I'll be working in the early childhood development program. I'll be assisting the social workers to get the infants and toddlers adopted. In Soroti, I'll be working with older kids, teenagers, as sort of a mentor. It will be my job to build relationships with these kids to make sure they are receiving the education and care at home they should be getting," Ozuru explained.
Ozuru's internship has been funded by the Academic Enrichment Fund, a university award that was established to help qualified Ozarks students fund enriching educational opportunities.
"Funding from the Academic Enrichment Fund has been super helpful," Ozuru said. "It motivated me and inspired me to carry through with this. Once I was funded, I thought 'Wow, I can actually do this.' "
Ozuru will have to delay graduation for one year as a result of the internship, but she is committed to following through with this opportunity.
"I love interacting with people, and I love learning by interacting with different people. I feel like this will remind me of what I'm working for, why I'm spending so much time in college trying to figure out the best way to help people. This is the perfect opportunity for me to experience how a non-profit organization operates in a country like Uganda," she said.
Ozuru always knew she wanted to change lives for the better, and coming to Ozarks has helped her narrow that focus.
"Before I came am to Ozarks, I knew I wanted to help others, but I didn't know how I wanted to do that. I realized that studying politics could give me the edge to understand and hopefully change political policies that are negatively affecting people all around the world," she explained.
Another influential part of Ozuru's time at Ozarks has been her spiritual growth.
"I've grown so much in my faith since I've been at Ozarks," she said. "I've developed a personal relationship with God. I've been plugged into a community of believers that has guided me into realizing what I'm meant to do. When I researched a little about ARM, I was so moved by their mission. This organization is striving to educate these kids about how they can help change their country for the better. They are also giving them a Christian foundation to make them not only leaders, but leaders for God. That's really beautiful to me."
Ozuru plans to leave for Uganda in early July 2013 and will return the following spring. She plans to keep a detailed journal of her experience, which she hopes to turn into a book when she returns to the States.

Bird Conservation
Georgia Partners in Flight
Partners in Flight is an international bird conservation effort. Initiated in 1990 in response to declines in numerous species of Neotropical migratory birds, PIF seeks to reverse these declines and ensure healthy populations of songbirds and other birds for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations.
Many familiar songbirds such as warblers, vireos, orioles and tanagers are among those referred to as Neotropical migrants. These birds breed in North America and migrate to Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean to spend the winter. Loss of habitat needed for wintering, breeding and as stopovers during migration has caused significant declines in numerous species of our favorite and most colorful songsters.
In Georgia, over 90 species of Neotropical migrants depend on the forests, thickets and fields of our state as areas to rest and refuel during their long migrations. Many -- 54 species -- also nest and raise their young in our habitats. Although declining, most of these birds are still relatively common, and Georgia Partners in Flight seeks to address and meet the needs of these and other land birds through effective partnerships with state and federal agencies, private conservation and education organizations, corporations, colleges and universities, and concerned citizens and bird enthusiasts.

Not just ice albedo
Positive feed-back processes taking place on a local scale, may give rise to larger local variations. In addition to the effect of wind-driven sea-ice, such feed-backs may explain the large local temperature anomalies and large natural variations in the Arctic. Another aspect, that sometimes also gets neglected, is the fact that the polar regions represent fairly 'small' regions in terms of degrees of freedom. Furthermore, temperature fluctuations tend to be fairly coherent over large parts (there is an anti-correlation in the see-saw structure associated with the NAO, however). Thus, profiles of zonal mean values (the mean values of the measurements taken at a constant latitude ring around the planet) involves comparing long stretched areas near the equator to broad short regions near the poles (if the surface area is compensated for), but due to spatial correlation, this implies that the bands near the equator involve many more degrees of freedom than those near the poles. Such latitudinal profiles of zonal means are analogous to comparing mean values of different sample sizes (a bit like comparing daily values to monthly and annual means). The implication is that events such as the early century warming are not as significant as when the a warming of similar magnitude is seen in the zonal mean profile at lower latitudes.

A couple of things:
For #1: once it is already home and the buyer advertises what kennel it is from, we cannot per board rules say anything negative about the breeder in public. If you remember, nobody said anything negative about the breeder and in fact, most said the breeder was quite clear with the quality of dog being sold as video was provided. At that point, it also isn't worth (most times) to point that out to the buyer. I have in the past pointed out to the buyer that I would not personally stand for how they were being treated for example. The board is restrictive in what we can say in terms of being negative so when someone asks for suggestions, you PM them and tell them the negative. When they announce they already got it, what is the point?
For #2: Nobody that we would call a "good" breeder will ask for the board's permission on if they should breed their dog or not. They do the breeding and every so often post a cute litter picture or two. Most people who ask for advice on breeding or studding usually are not even at the point where that should be an option for them. Most people that breed ethically have a good mentor or two that they get guidance from. They don't really need to reach out to this forum of (this is not derogatory) made up for people that are not breeders or active competitors for the most part. It's basically the idea that if you have to ask a bunch of strangers if your dog is worth breeding, it probably isn't worth breeding.
Interesting Observation...timing
So has anyone noticed how the timing of the post really affects what people either post, or what people post without being called out for being "negative" or "rude"?
I've noticed two of these situations:
1) Buying a dog...if the dog is purchased, its already home and the person posts "look how cool my dog is!" No one ask where it came from, and even if the OP posts where they got the dog from, no one attacks the breeder or bothers to comment on the "sub-par" breeding or the questionable decision to go with a breeder. But if the person asks about a breeder, its usually a free for all for everyone to look for any minor "red flag" and call the breeder out for whatever that poster doesn't believe is a good practice.
2) Breeding your dog...someone asks about possibly studding/having a litter with their female. They get ripped apart, and I think we all expect that at this point as the first post after the OP is usually . But...if that person says, breeding has happened, people are more than willing to help this person learn everything there is to know about whelping a litter. Once in a while someone chimes in with a, please neuter/spay after this, but in reality it probably doesn't happen.
To tell the truth...it was the recent post from the guy that imported what everyone considered a "green dog" from Germany. I'm not attacking that OP, or the people that posted there, but there is at least 1 post on every page about how people are "being negative." I kept thinking...well its because the dog is already ordered/paid for and the decision has been made that they believe that. If the OP had posted for advice before the purchase was made, no one would've cared that those things are said about that dog. It would've been the same "truth" but because of when it comes out, it is kind of looked down on and looked at as "taboo" on the forum.
Anyone else notice these "timing" issues. Why is it that we're not really allowed to speak the truth or tell the facts after certain things happen?

you wake up. it's dark. there's a sharp, acrid smell in the air. yr not sure if you hear the echoes of a cry in the air or if that was part of yr dream. either way, it woke you up.
you fumble for yr phone, in the dark, and turn yr face away for a few moments to adjust to the bright light in the dark.
3:12 am.
now that yr a bit more awake, you recognise the smell. something's burning. no fire alarm's gone off in the residence, though, so maybe it's outside.
at that moment, you hear the sound of breaking glass, and you're out of bed in a moment. you peer out yr window, trying awkwardly to be seen without maybe being seen if anyone's looking. there's a car on fire. in the pool of light by the main entrance you see a bunch of people standing around. off to the side you can sort of see a body lying on the ground. its feet and the jeans on its lower legs, anyway. the angle of the building prevents you seeing more.

changing defaults under Mma 2.2.2 for Windows????
I'd like to change some of the defaults Mma uses. For example, I'd much
prefer that the defaults for ListPlot[] be PlotJoined-> True and PlotRange ->

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Rick Springfield
In the meantime, Springfield had begun taking acting classes; he signed a contract with Universal Studios in 1980 and appeared on several television programs. Although Universal dropped him shortly thereafter, he was able to secure a recording contract with RCA on the strength of his demos; in the midst of recording his debut for the label, he was signed to play the young, eligible Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital in 1981. Springfield's popularity skyrocketed, setting the stage for the release of Working Class Dog later that year. Powered by the classic single "Jessie's Girl," which eventually hit the top of the charts, and the Top Ten follow-up "I've Done Everything for You," Working Class Dog was a smash success, and Springfield eventually returned to his first love of music when concerts conflicted with his television career. The follow-up, Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet, was released in 1982, spawning the Top Ten smash "Don't Talk to Strangers"; 1983's Living in Oz offered more of the same, including the Top Ten "Affair of the Heart," although it betrayed signs that the gears were beginning to wear down on the Springfield machine.
Springfield made the leap to the big screen in 1984 with Hard to Hold, which was much more successful at the box office than with critics; the soundtrack spawned his last Top Ten hit to date, "Love Somebody." His career seemed to bottom out afterward, although he recorded several more albums over the rest of the '80s, and continued to land television roles into the '90s. In 1999, Springfield returned with a new album, Karma. Shock/Denial/Anger/Acceptance and Day After Yesterday followed in 2004 and 2005, respectively. In 2007, Springfield released the holiday-themed Christmas with You, along with the Early Sound City Sessions collection. The following year, a live DVD documenting his ultra-popular '80s concerts (Beat of the Live Drum) was issued, as well as an album of all new material, Venus in Overdrive. A year later, he released the children's album My Precious Little One: Lullabies for a New Generation. In 2012, he returned to major labels, signing with Universal's Hip-O for a new album called Songs for the End of the World.
In early 2013, Springfield's profile got a boost when he appeared in Dave Grohl's documentary Sound City, in which Springfield spoke of his experiences recording at the California studio that gave the film its name. Springfield also appeared on the film's companion album, Sound City: Real to Reel, performing the song "The Man That Never Was" with members of Grohl's band the Foo Fighters. Springfield took a look back at his career on an album of songs and stories, 2015's Stripped Down but the record was overshadowed by his acclaimed performances in the second season of True Detective and, especially, his role in Jonathan Demme's Ricki & the Flash, where he held his own with Meryl Streep. Next up was the February 2016 release of Rocket Science, a studio album that featured songwriting collaborations with Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts and Tad Kubler of the Hold Steady. ~ Steve Huey

Ciara Grant believes the new Women's Super League will improve the standard of the women's game in England.
Arsenal have dominated the domestic scene in recent years and have been crowned Premier League champions an incredible seven times in succession.
But with the introduction of a new eight-team format, Grant expects a much tougher test this season.
"I think it is going to be more competitive," she told Arsenal.com "Some clubs have made some big signings and every game is going to be a lot harder this year.
"Hopefully it will get people watching the games and seeing the standard of women's football. There are a lot of people who have never watched a women's game before and when they do they really enjoy it.
"Hopefully it will make women's football a lot bigger in this country."

- keeping good players in this country
- attracting fans to the women's game
- playing across the summer
- the strength of the league

Last week, I released an update to a very popular report titled "The State Of Customer Experience, 2012." The research is based on a survey of customer experience pros about their plans for this year. The data mirrored what we hear anecdotally when talking with clients every day and should help you answer the perennial question, "What's everyone else doing?" But beyond that, here are my big takeaways:

When you have a such winter, why dont you take into use styrofoam insulated boxes for brood chambers. They are light to move everywhere.
When hives are warm, they develope early and catch a good yield from orchards. Winters shelters are important to bees at winter.
I wonder if mice did not destroyed your bees when you put hay balls over them.
Well first of all, I don't think i need insulated styrofoam, because A-I don't have to move them at all during the winter
They are light to move everywhere.
QuoteThey are light to move everywhere. Um...could you describe this statement then?...(I don't mean to start an arguement)

It's a new season, a new beginning and Anthony Jeffrey could not wait for the campaign to start.
"We have done a lot of work in pre-season. A lot of running and double sessions at first and that took a bit of getting used to," he said. "My brother Marcus, who was once with Luton, warned me that the double sessions were tough. I kept saying to him that they can't be that hard - he was right!
"At the beginning I would get home after a double session and want to go straight to sleep. Because we did not train every day before, it took some getting used to, but after a couple of weeks it was OK."
Pre-season was not all about running. Anthony believes that he has already improved and that is coming from a high level start point too - the youngster secured 20 goals from midfield last season in the Under-16s:
"Steve Bould is a very, very good coach," said Jeffrey. "We have all learned a lot already. It has not all been about fitness, we have done a lot of work on technique and I feel that my ability levels have risen in just a few weeks.
"I am really enjoying training and I just could wait for the season to begin. I think we have a special group this season. I believe that we were too inconsistent last year. As an Under-18s side last season we were a touch complacent at times but this year I can feel that there is a real focus and steel to this team in addition to the quality players in the squad."
Anthony was among the lads who impressed last season when playing for the Under-18s while still a schoolboy. It was not just his goals, but his overall play was so mature and inventive. There was hardly a post-match interview when he didn't get praised by Bould, but the level-headed youngster knows the hard work begins now.
"Playing for the Under-18s last season was really good for me," he said. "I started playing quite early on in the season which was a bit of a surprise. Once I played and got selected week after week, I realised I was considered good enough and that gave me a big confidence boost because I felt I was there on merit and not just trying out."
Right-footed Anthony played mainly on the left flank, but his quick brain and lightning-fast feet got him into some great positions to score goals and help the team: "Playing on the left as a right footer meant that I tended to cut inside a lot," he said. "I am working a lot more on my left foot and crossing to improve other aspects of my responsibilities in that position. I have always understood the defensive role too but even that has improved this season because of the work we do in training."
The youngster is also composed in front of goal and uses his obvious intelligence well on and off the pitch. "I know what I put in on the training pitch will improve my game and help me get to my target of playing for the first team. I have belief in my ability, but I know it will not just come to me.
"I come from Mill Hill and have always been an Arsenal fan, even before I joined the Club when I was nine. I played for the Under-16s at the Emirates at the end of last season when I scored in a 3-3 draw with Aston Villa. It was like a dream. There were 3,000 or so people watching and although that is way short of capacity, there was a good atmosphere and it gave me a taste of the dream that I want to make happen."
Anthony is very aware of how dreams can be shattered though: "My brother Marcus was a promising youngster at Luton, but he had to give up the game after he broke his leg as a 17 year-old. He was so unlucky but while I am aware of the dangers, you have to take risks in life to achieve your goals, especially in sport.
"I am so looking forward to this season. My targets are to keep improving and if I do well I hope to cement my place in the Under-18s and earn a spot in the FA Youth Cup team."

|A+ thread, I know it's old but I'll be doing this to my car soon.
I will try and get some pics this weekend, by the time I get off work it's dark out now.
Really want to redo mine, was a lot of trial and error sadly.
For your remote wire the easiest thing is to get one of these fuse taps:
You plug that into a fuse that will be on when the car is like the radio, I believe that is what mine it connected to. You put it in place of the original fuse, plug the fuse you took out in and you need another fuse the same amp rating for the new circuit.
If you want you can add a switch, the wire running from the add-a-circuit goes to the power terminal on the switch (prob says 12v or something) and one to ground (there's a screw on the left of the fuse box) and then other terminal back to the amp.
Also, I didn't cut or solder any of the factory wires (did cut one by accident when I wasn't paying attention) I just used wire tap-ins and from the taps ran speaker wire to a plug in adapter that came with my amp. If you can, solder it like A7x did it looks a lot cleaner.
|What did you hook your REm wire to? just spent 2 hours in the cold trying to hook everything up... check everything along the way... line out in in trunk with both sets of speaker wire... but i cant get any power from my amp... lights wont come on... power cable is run with fuse and it is grounded to trunk... wehn i had power on and was grounded it the bare ground wire was getting some sparks so i know it had power... also i mounted my remote wire in to the insturment cluster but nothing... any9one have any idea?
It works, I have to buy an add-a-fuse and hook up the REM wire. I have it all run, just gotta hook it up!
Cool. I was just curious because a line converter isn't necessary if the amp has high level inputs. You can just run the speaker wires directly to the amp.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G
My amp just connects to my sub
It has
And the other side has the settings (bass, crossover, input level etc)
I am not into spending a ton of money on car audio, I hardly have it high enough to hear over the music. It's basically just filler so my speakers don't have to put out any bass but it gives the drums and bass more oomph
I think my amp was like $55, it's only 300w. It does what I want and I hardly have the bass up at all. It can rattle my car apart but I have no use for it.
|Does your amp not have high/speaker level inputs?
08-11 Subwoofer Install Guide with Line out converter
Hey guys, it's been 4 months since I got my car, and it's been 4 months since I have listened to music with bass!
The split display and head unit shot my hopes down when I got the car. I actually thought it had a factory sub because the speakers bump so much, but sadly not.
So the last few days I have been looking at how to do it and I found everything I needed on the forum to do it myself, BUT every single piece of information was on a different thread. So I will compile it here with some pictures.
The whole point of this is to
1. Keep the stock head unit
2. Avoid ripping the dash apart, since you don't have to
3. Install a Line Out Converter to the back speakers
4. Install a subwoofer CLEANLY
Alright so here we go! I did one side at a time, but the directions are exactly the same.
You will begin by removing the pieces shown below. They pull straight up or out and are held in by clips. Easy enough, don't break them!
Then, where the wires run from the back door into the car, you will push on the 4 spots on the grommet that say "press" then you will pull the whole connector out. Then disconnect it and pull it through the inside like this
Cut through the electric tape, careful of the wires and peel it back a few inches to give you enough room. You will then cut the following wires
Right side
+ (brown/white)
- (brown/blue)
Left side
+ (white/green)
- (brown/yellow)
Then take speaker wire which is usually silver on one side and copper colored on the other and attach it to the speaker wires. I attached the silver to the positive and the copper to the negative.
I solder all my connections. If you want to fool around with quick connects or whatever, go for it. But to me they are just a pain, are likely to fail and you'll have to find the cause of your problem later down the road. I find solder and heat shrink tube easy and quick if you already have the materials.
Once you are connected it will look like this
Then you will re-tape everything back up and it will look like this:
Now put the plug back through the pillar and connect it to the other connector and pop the grommet back in the door.
Then run your speaker wire back to your trunk. Run it under the back seat molding you took off, fold your seats down and run it to the side and into the trunk.
Leave your molding off, as you will be running your sub wire here using a 90% hidden method I figured out.
Alright so here is the speaker wire run to the back of the trunk. I ran it behind the panel on the side and up to the top.
I ran the wire on the back of the seat frame and connected my Line out converter and mounted it with 3M tape in the middle of the seat frame.
Then I pulled the extra cord back through the seat and tucked it to the side right by the edge of the back door where you first put it through the seat.
Then I electrical taped the wire against the back of the seat frame just so wires weren't dangling all over.
Now here is where I took my sub out of my old car (still sitting in driveway) and decided to clean up after my younger self. All my sub connections were like 14-16 gauge wire crimps on my 8 and 10 guage wires.
So I got the proper connectors, but instead of crimping them on, I stripped the wires, soldered the ends and then stuck them through and soldered them to the connectors. No pics of this, but I wanted to start fresh and have it look cleaner.
Connect your amp to your box
ground the amp, I put a screw through one of the metal pieces of the seat frame hanging down.
connect your newly mounted red and white rca
Connect your REM wire to whatever you want (I put it in #37 the power window/sunroof circuit breaker) Most other things left the amp on when car was off.
Now we will move onto the amp power cable.I found a rather simple way to do this, and like I said. It is 90% clean, meaning you see wire almost nowhere.
Start at the hood, leave enough room for your wire to connect to your battery. Luckily my wire is blue and my car is blue so it is easy to hide.
Then I ran it through the driver fender, right past the windshield, through the door (above all the hinges) and I found a little cap on the side which is connected to a cylinder that goes into the cab of the car. Sorry, no pics of it out but I popped that out, put my wire through it. Then you fish the wire down through the hole and it comes out right under the dash. Look in and towards the fender, behind all the modules and plugs down there you will see it has a hole to the fender. (I did this at night so I found it with a flashlight shining through the hole).
When you finally fish it through, it will be right there by the trunk button. You can see it pulled through in the picture above.
Once you get it down there, slide the cylinder you put over your wire, back into it's hole. It has a little flip cap on it like a container of M&M minis. I cut the cap off. Cut a part of it out, and put a piece of 3M tape on the inside of the cap. Then I popped it back on, so it stuck (once you cut it you disable its ability to click onto the cylinder) and ran my wire through the hole I cut and now it looks like this
Now run the power wire left above the trunk button between the two panels and shove it behind the rubber whether stripped that follows the front panel you took out in step 1. Then run it all the way back the same way you did your speaker wires.
Pop all your panels from step 1 back in. Fold your back seats up and move to the trunk and complete installation.
Btw, I get just as much signal and power as when I had it hooked straight to my head unit in my older car, it's just that much easier cause it's one less wire to run all the way.
It's kind of pointless to do it right off the radio and take your whole dash apart, when you can do the same thing from the middle of the car with less work.
What do you guys think? Seem easy enough without changing out a head unit?

Did any of you guys happen to see at the GM dealerships how they have this stuff to check for antifreeze leaks? I think they make this same stuff for engine oil, gear lube, and for transmission fluid. It's just a pill bottle size liquid that will glow in the light of a blacklight. Follow the trail to wherever it starts. If they make it for transmission fluid anyhow. Just a thought anyway.
In a while, Chet.
I will be trying the talc trick tonight then I think I'm going to try a little right stuff around the dip stick shaft. I can't find the bolt that hold it in place so I'll try it the easy way for now.
I will try to clean up the other areas and see if I can see anything there as well.
I'm convinced now that it is not the pan. It takes awhile before I notice the leak after I clean everything off. I thought I had it with the last repair but by morning no luck.
Are you checking the shift shaft seal , the detent cable seal , tail housing to case, vacuum modulator?
The oil can travel around the edge of the case / tranny pan and drop off to the floor in a different loction than the actual leak
|After that many pan gaskets, I'd be looking elsewhere. Trans dipstick is a big one if its the old style "O"-ring. Front pump seal or front pump mounting 0-ring leak too.
I bought an aluminum pan so that I know it is straight and that I get a good mating surface. I roughed up the surfaces on both the trans and the pan and did not use any sealant. I torqued the bolt to 12 ft/lbs. I still have a leak. So I checked the dip stick tube and there does not appear to ba a leak out of it. It is pretty well encrusted with grease and dirt. I wiped some of the dirt and stuff off where it would show a leak.
I can the car and heated things up. I went back under and tighted the bolts to 15 ft/lbs. I figured the lock washer might have an effect on the torque readings. I checked the dip stick tube for leaks. I ran the car while under it and cleaned off all the old leak residue. I check the dip stick again. I ran it for awhile and did not see anything. I parted it with a piece of white cardboard under the pan. I checked it periodically during the evening and it looked like I had the problem solved. I checked it again this morning and found some trans fuild on the edge of the paper. I don't htink it is a porous body issue because the body seems to be dry and is pretty well packed with dirt. I don't think it is the modulator either.
I will get under it again this evening. I used a rubber gasket that came with the pan. As much as I don't want to change it again. That would teh 4th time. Should I use a different gasket material such as cork or fiber. It had a cork one on it when I bought it. I changed it because I thought that was the cause of teh leak.
alot of TH-350s
Leak from base of the dipstick
I have had three leak on me
and it does look like a pan leak
clean whole area of trans
and use some talc powder on area
then drive
your leak will show
Have you tried the fiber gaskets?
I checked the pan and it was flat. Tightened to 12 ftlbs
I am going to check the dip stick. The leak was mainly in that area when I started.
oil leak
First make sure the pan rails are flat. Overtightening will cause the bolt holes to buckle upwards causing a bad seal. Felpro and Mr Gasket both sell one piece rubber gaskets. They have grommets so you can't overtighten it. I have used both and found the Felpro to be better. Do not use RTV on it or it will leak. They work great. I never use cork anymore.
350 Leak
I have a turbo 350 in my 72 Chevy Pickup and it had a cork pan gasket when I bought it that leaked badly. I replace the filter and put in a new thin rubber gasket that came with the kit. This one leaked as bad. I asked the guy at NAPA why it would be leaking and he said it was because I use RTV sealant with it. I thought Bull! I went to my local speed shop and he recommended a product called Right Stuff. I comes in a can and sprays out a bead like a caulking gun. I used it and let the car sit until the material hardened. I started it up and it looked good until I drove it around for awhile. The pan is still leaking but not as bad but in more places.
In each case I torqued the bolts down to 12 ft pounds per the specs in the kit. I went back and tightened them to 15 with the rubber gasket with no help. I hand tightened the Right Stuff gasket a little more with no help. The pan is in good shape. I dimpled the bolt holes a little before using the Right Stuff and put sealer around them.
Any suggestions on how to get this thing to stop leaking? Fluid is getting all over my new exhaust and burning on. Any suggestions on how to get that cleaned off?
Thanks for the help

WPIAL finalists have chance to make history
Like the rivers that lead to the stadium sitting on the banks of the Ohio, a confluence has led Clairton's return to Heinz Field.
The Bears are back in the WPIAL Class A championship game for the fifth consecutive year amid a nation's-best 59-game winning streak.
With a victory over Sto-Rox (11-1) Friday, Clairton (12-0) will make history in two ways: The Bears can join Braddock (1954-59) as the only WPIAL schools to win five consecutive league titles, as well as break a tie with Central Bucks West (1997-2000) for the state's longest winning streak.
"It's brought a lot of positive attention to our little city," Clairton coach Tom Nola said. "That's always welcomed. We're so proud of what the players have accomplished, and everyone in the community feels the same way.
"We tell them that all the time, that they're doing something special and historic that they'll remember for the rest of their lives."
Clairton's record run will be the start of what promises to be a historic day at Heinz Field.
Not only can Clairton claim a first, but North Allegheny (12-0) can become the first to win three consecutive WPIAL Class AAAA championships since the classification was formed in 1984. It would also assure Tigers coach Art Walker of tying his father, Art Sr., by winning his fifth Quad-A crown.
Standing in their way is Woodland Hills (10-2) and George Novak, who can become the first coach to win six Quad-A titles and would join New Castle's Phil Bridenbaugh in winning seven — Novak led Steel Valley to the 1982 Class AAA title.
"Just playing at Heinz is special," Novak said, "and that adds a lot more to the mystique of being at Heinz Field for the WPIAL."
Aliquippa (12-0) can extend its record of WPIAL titles to 15 with a victory over Washington (12-0) in Class AA, which would give Quips coach Mike Zmijanac his fifth league title.
If West Allegheny (11-1) beats West Mifflin (11-1) in Class AAA, Bob Palko would win his sixth WPIAL title in as many tries and join Bridenbaugh, Braddock's Chuck Klausing, Novak and, possibly, Nola as the only coaches in league history to achieve that feat.
The parade of accolades isn't limited to teams and their coaches.
Washington junior Shai McKenzie needs 85 yards to break the WPIAL single-season rushing record of 2,740 yards, set by Hopewell's Rushel Shell in 2009. McKenzie was held to zero yards against Aliquippa in the quarterfinals last year.
Clairton senior Tyler Boyd also can break Shell's WPIAL career touchdown record with four against Sto-Rox. Boyd, who has 41 this season, scored three times in a 42-6 victory over the Vikings in the Class A final last year.
WPIAL executive director Tim O'Malley sees the WPIAL finals at Heinz Field as the perfect place to have a record-setting day.
"We've always felt that it's a significant event, and the people that advanced to play there have accomplished one of their major goals," O'Malley said. "Being there is an accomplishment in itself. That it is tied to the records, speaks volumes about the tradition of the schools and the capability of those directing the programs. The records that are on the line can be directly attributed to the people that lead their programs. I think they have to be given their due for what they've done."

I use it and like it.
I came across a post on the USCCA board about this lube.Has anyone used this stuff It sounds great if it works. http://www.militec.com/
i use it, but i lost my bottle of it. i love it for one reason. you put it on and with it on the pistol, heat up the metal to llow the oil to 'bed in' into the metal and then wipe the metal clean. this allows the oil to protect the metal, but without attracting alot of dirt. I love it. its expensive though!
They sent me a sample of it ages ago and I'm still using it on my slide rails. Good stuff. If I ever use it all up, I'd get more.
it's the best
Outstanding lube! Remember that it will do nothing for the prevention of rust, but for simply reducing friction it's one of the, if not the, best.
My son was sponsored by them when he was in competitive sporting. We still use it on our modern guns to this day. It's great stuff for semis. The grease form is also good for it's intended uses.

LAKELAND, FL (January 30, 2012) -- Lakeland City Manager Doug Thomas names Alan Shaffer Deputy General Manager of Lakeland Electric to work closely with General Manager Jim Stanfield over the next two months leading up to Stanfield's retirement on March 30, 2012.
Following Stanfield's retirement, Shaffer will serve as Interim General Manager pending appointment of the head of the utility. Shaffer has most recently held the position as Assistant General Manager Delivery and he has served in that capacity since May 2003. He has 33 years experience with Lakeland Electric and started work with the utility in 1979 as an Engineer. He is 55 years old and he will be paid $160,000 as Deputy General Manager and Interim General Manager following Stanfield's retirement.
The City of Lakeland is conducting a national search for a permanent General Manager of Lakeland Electric. The search is expected to be a 60-90 day process from the start with advertising and recruitment until the applicant pool is narrowed down to a select group of candidates who will be invited to participate in final interviews. Depending upon the candidate that is ultimately selected, it could take an additional two months to have the new General Manager in place.
City Manager Doug Thomas said, "Alan is the senior Assistant General Manager for the utility and I have great confidence in his abilities to maintain operations during the transition. He is well respected within Lakeland Electric and is also well known and widely regarded among his peers in the Florida municipal electric utility sector." He added, "I truly appreciate his willingness to take on the additional leadership responsibilities on behalf of the utility as we transition from Jim's leadership until the successor is on board."
Shaffer is currently responsible for all aspects of the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of Lakeland Electric's transmission, distribution, substation, and lighting facilities. His career experience includes electric transmission and delivery planning, system protection, substation engineering and the management of operations. He has a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Florida, a MS in Engineering Management from the University of South Florida and is a registered Professional Engineer.
Lakeland Electric is the third largest public power utility in the State of Florida. The utility is also one of the first utilities established in Florida having started operation in 1889. Today, power is generated at Lakeland Electric's two primary base load plant sites, the 785-megawatt McIntosh Power Plants and the 93-megawatt Larsen Power Plant.
LAKELAND, FL (January 20, 2012) -- The City of Lakeland is offering its 11th Annual Citizens Academy to area residents with the first session starting February 23, 2012. The Citizens Academy is a free, hands-on, interactive public information program that familiarizes citizens with City services and the functions of City Departments. The Lakeland Citizens Academy allows residents to get a behind the scenes look of how City government operates and it provides an outlet for citizen input. The program consists of six (6), two (2) hour evening sessions, one session per month.
2012 Session Dates
February 23 History & Finance
March 22 Police Department
April 26 Fire Department
May 24 Public Works & Planning
June 28 Utility Services
July 26 Parks & Recreation
The program is limited to 25 citizens aged 16 or older. Enrollment in the class is based on a first-come-first-served basis. All participants interested in the Citizens Academy are encouraged to attend all of the sessions in order to get the most from the program.
All sessions, unless otherwise noted, are from 6-8 p.m. and the first session will meet in the City Commission Chambers at City Hall, 228 South Massachusetts Avenue. A light dinner is served at 5:45 p.m. during all sessions. At least three sessions will meet away from City Hall and directions will be given for each City building or facility that houses a Citizen Academy session.
The class will graduate with a certificate in "Governmentology" at the end of the last session. Those interested in participating should contact Kevin Cook at 863/834-6264 or firstname.lastname@example.com to secure a spot on the roster.
Members of Lakeland Police Department's DUI Enforcement Unit and Traffic Unit will be conducting a Saturation Patrol and Checkpoint in the city on January 18, 2012. There will be a checkpoint conducted in the 900 block of North Lincoln Avenue from 11:30 pm until 2:30 am. Saturation patrols will take place throughout the city prior to the checkpoint in an effort to reduce impaired driving and traffic fatalities in Lakeland.
These efforts are part of the sustained Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest program sponsored by the Florida Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Likewise, the goal of announcing these Saturation Patrols is to make people think twice about drinking and then driving.
The Lakeland Police Department asks you to use a designated driver, public transportation, a taxi or call a friend that has not been drinking to take you home. There is nothing wrong with having a few drinks with friends, the problem is when your judgment becomes impaired and you make the choice to drink and drive. Impaired driving by alcohol and drugs kills and injures thousands of innocent people a year and is a totally preventable crime.
Remember, if you are Over the Limit, you will be Under Arrest.

51: Malaria
Title text: The malaria party was David's idea.
According to Wikipedia: "Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by protists (a type of microorganism) of the genus Plasmodium. It begins with a bite from an infected female mosquito, which introduces the protists via its saliva into the circulatory system, and ultimately to the liver where they mature and reproduce. The disease causes symptoms that typically include fever and headache, which in severe cases can progress to coma or death."
It plays on the idea of a Pox party which adults bring their children to in order to deliberately exposed to a virus to promote immunity. This is commonly done for childhood diseases like measles and chicken pox. Some of these illnesses are more serious for adults than children. It seems unlikely that you would risk contracting malaria as a way of gaining immunity against it, and unlikely to be much fun either.

This entire thing is off. Does anyone else notice that there is no vaccine against Malaria? Thus, the entire discussion about vaccines is pointless. Time for me to do some editing! 18.104.22.168 15:22, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

The last time I actively participated in organized sports was nearly 50 years ago, when I played extreme right field for the Park Lane Lions.
I only lasted half a season, but that was long enough for me to learn everything I would ever need to know about sports.
First was that I lacked the necessary coordination to run and catch at the same time. Hell, I could barely put the uniform on by myself. It took me the better part of a week to learn how to walk in cleats.
Second and this was the most important there was no element of any sport ever invented that I considered worth being yelled at by some angry guy in a coach's hat. These two facts were destined to collide.
One hot afternoon after being reduced to tears by Coach Hardlich's insulting criticism, I suggested something to him that would have required a disturbing amount of coordination on his part.
Fortunately I could run faster than Coach Hardlich. I was a block away before he recovered his wits. Fat lot of good it did me because he knew where I lived. The ensuing drama cost me an apology, a month of TV and soured me forever on team sports.
The lesson stayed with me, though. I would never understand what was so important about a game that it was worth that kind of behavior. Short answer: nothing
This isn't entirely about sports or even the recent stupidity that resulted in the death of a soccer referee at the hands of an angry player. It's about human behavior essentially the penchant human beings have to wind ourselves up over relatively trivial things.
Most of us are wondering what could have been running through a 17-year-old kid's head when he decided throwing a punch was the appropriate response to a call he didn't like.
Long answer: The same thing that was running through your head the last time you responded to a situation in such a way that it made things worse.
The punch wasn't intended to kill Ricardo Portillo but rather to furiously make a point that in retrospect no longer matters. In the extremity of setting things right, human beings frequently lash out in other regrettable ways.
I've done it. There are at a dozen such things that instantly come to mind, things I wish I hadn't said or done that seemed perfectly justified at the time, things I'll pay for the rest of my life.
Note: What I said to Coach Hardlich that day isn't one of them.
It can be something really trivial like who can kick or throw a ball better than someone else, It can even be something far more important like whether you agree with your spouse about church, or your friend about politics.
Maybe you said something in the heat of the moment that poisoned a relationship. Yeah, you sure put your son or daughter in their place about the church. But was that worth never being able to see your grandkids?
Was being right about who paid for lunch last time so important that you allowed it to destroy a friendship that would have enriched the rest of your days?
You can't be human and not have responded in such a way that seemed necessary at the time but made things worse. If you're lucky, you get a chance to learn from your mistakes.
Part of that is knowing yourself well enough to recognize the situations that put you at risk, and then staying away from them.
It means being smart enough to take another breath when your ego is telling you otherwise. There aren't many things in life worth the punches we think we have a right to throw.

This Thanksgiving, as Americans join with family and friends to share a meal and give thanks to God for our many blessings, let us not forget the needs of those less fortu RECEIVE EVERY DAY nate than us. During times of joy as well aJOHN HAFROM THE s during times of suffering and pain, the BibE MINISTRY GIle instructs us to turn our minds and our hearts towards God in prayer. Join with Christians and Jews around the world in heartfelt prayer for the peace and well-being of Israel, America, and the world.
Praise God as we celebrate Thanksgiving and give thanks for the many blessings He has bestowed. You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you (Nehemiah 9:6).
Pray for Fellowship friends struggling with unemployment. Pray that God will give them strength and perseverance and direct them towards resources that will help them find meaningful work.

Pray for elderly Holocaust survivors in the former Soviet Union, who struggle to live on meager pensions.

(Isaiah 58:10)
Pray for Fellowship-supported schools and orphanages in Israel and the former Soviet Union, that they will receive the funding they need to save desperate orphaned and abandoned children from a bleak future. For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death (Psalm 72:12-13).
Pray for an end to terror, and for the establishment of a true and lasting peace in Israel. "May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels. For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, 'Peace be within you'" (Psalm 122:7-8).
