Lord of the Dance (3 of 4) by Kerry Shook
This content is part of a series.Lord of the Dance (3 of 4)
Series: The No-Regrets Challenge
Pastor Kerry Shook
This sermon includes the sermon outline and the full sermon transcript. Below you will see a preview of the outline and a portion of the full sermon.
• John 13:1 (NIV)
Principle #1: Live Passionately
• Psalm 90:12 (LB)
• Waiting for perfect circumstances
• Luke 7:31, 32 (NIV)
• Wondering what people will think
• 2 Sam. 6:21, 22 (GN/NIV)
During this Lent season, we're embarking upon one of the most exciting journeys we've ever been on as a church. We're calling it the No-Regrets Challenge, and you, Woodlands Church, are leading churches all over the nation and really all over the world in this No-Regrets Challenge. In fact, I just heard there's a city in Canada that's doing the challenge. About ten churches are coming together to try to really impact their city and so I'm just so proud of you because God's using you in a great way. I really believe that the greatest regrets we'll have at the end of our lives are not the things that we did that we wished we hadn't of done, but the things that we didn't do, those opportunities we let slip through our grasp.
When my daughter, Megan, was four or five years old, we went to a restaurant that had a live band and after dinner I looked up and I saw Megan dancing her heart out right next to the band. She was the only one in the whole place dancing. There she was spinning around in reckless abandonment with this huge smile on her face, completely unconcerned about what anyone else in the restaurant was thinking about her. It's an image that will never leave my heart. It was a picture of pure joy. It was a beautiful picture of someone being in that moment fully alive. It was a little girl showing us what the divine dance of life is really all about because the divine dance is not done for the approval of the judges, and the divine dance is not done for the applause of the crowd. The divine dance comes out of a complete abandonment to the pure and sacred joy of just being fully alive and what the world needs is to see Christ followers who are fully alive, passionately living for God, passionately loving others and making a difference in this world. It seems though as we go through life and we get older, that we start letting those opportunities to step onto the divine dance floor slip away. So, I want us to look at the ultimate divine dancer Jesus Christ because in Christ's life we glean the four principles on how to live a life with no regrets.
So, I want you to open your Bibles to John Chapter 13 and would you stand in honor of God's Word? And if you're worshiping with us online or you're at one of our satellite campuses or you're here at the Fellowship Campus or you're watching on television, we want you to read this with us because we read God's Word together. We're one church.

Explaining the reason why director Christopher Nolan decided not to take the principal photography of the Batman movie among the New York mass movement, Modine says, 'We didn't want to trivialize it.'
Back in October, Warner Bros. Pictures stated that Christopher Nolan would not film "The Dark Knight Rises" at Occupy Wall Street protests as it had been reported before. While the reason of Nolan's decision is still unclear, one of the film's star, Matthew Modine, has spilled the beans on why the director decided not to involve the mass movement in his movie.
Speaking to indieWIRE, Modine explained, "The wisdom of Christopher Nolan and his incredible team was that, while it seemed like a good idea to give [the protesters] an opportunity to work, to give them money, it would send a terrible message." He added, "At the end of the day, we're making a movie. What's happening down there is more important than that."
"To co-opt what's happening there and around the country... we didn't want to trivialize it," so the 52-year-old actor insisted. "It was more important to respect what they're doing than to do anything that could potentially trivialize the political situation downtown."
During the chat, Modine was also asked about his role, Nixon, in the highly anticipated Batman movie. Declining to unleash more details of his character, the California-born thespian said, "I'm not allowed to talk about [the film], but there's a lot of misinformation. I don't know who created it, but it's kind of fun to have everybody speculating about it."
After shooting in Jodhpur, India as well as Pittsburgh and Los Angeles, "The Dark Knight Rises" has reportedly wrapped the filming in New York City earlier this week. Since it started shooting in the Big Apple a few weeks ago, the movie was said to cause public anger for generating major traffic delays on the city streets.
The upcoming Caped Crusader movie is due to arrive in U.S. theaters on July 20, 2012. It stars Christian Bale as the lead protagonist, Tom Hardy as villainous Bane, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate, Morgan Freeman as Lucious Fox, Gary Oldman as James Gordon, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake, and Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth.

We believe that combining all three modalities we can offer you the most up to date treatments to assist with your specific health conditions:
With our Chiropractic treatments the aim is to restore correct function and balance and to optimise your health and ability. Often Chiropractic treatments are only considered when someone is experiencing acute pain. It is much more beneficial to address issues associated with pain in the early stages to avoid pain exacerbating to levels that become debilitating.
It is well researched that tight muscles can have an impact on functional health. Often the causes of excessively tight muscles can relate to stresses imposed on the body due to a busy lifestyle. At Mullumbimby Integral Health we suggest that a regular massage will help prevent stress related muscle tightness and help decrease related ongoing symptoms.
Most conditions are caused by muscle imbalances which relates to either a weakness of tightness in the opposing muscle structure. At Mullumbimby Integral Health we suggest that you have an assessment to develop an exercise programme to address these issues which will help to correct these imbalances. The exercise prescription will often incorporate a strong pilates focus and tailored for your specific needs.
Muscular skeletal alignment through Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue muscle release work, soft tissue Massages to decrease muscular tension and improve flexibility, and Private or Group Personal Training to increase strength, stamina and mobility.
This combined approach, referred to as integral health, improves the quality and efficiency of the care we provide. The added benefit of Mullum fitness is that your new structure stays at its optimal alignment due to increased stability.
We abide by a strong sense of professional ethics. Our practitioners are experienced, well qualified, insured and members of their relevant associations (such as the Chiropractic Association of Australia, Australian Association of Massage Therapists, Fitness Australia and Exercise & Sports Science Australia).
We aim to get the best result for you in the minimum number of visits. You will not receive un-welcome follow-up calls or be pressured regarding your personal choices.
To make an appointment with Brent (Chiropractor), Max (Personal Trainer) or Sherri (Massage Therapist) please phone us on 66841028. You can find us at 110 Dalley Street in Mullumbimby.

Been there, done that. I even tried to test the wheel sensors using a write up I found for an E46 (I think). It wasn't good for Z3s, but I did get similar reading on all 4 wheels, so I thought the wheel sensors were most likely OK. I couldn't find any way to check the steering angel sensor or to recalibrate it, so no choice but to go to the dealer.
At least I got to sit in a 1 series. It looked nice. I'll bet they go fast once they get some in they can actually sell (they said this one was demo only and they can't sell any until after the announcement in about a week).

Recall for Boston Scientific Implantable DefibrillatorsMar 16, 2010 | Parker Waichman LLP
A massive recall is being issued for seven brands of Boston Scientific implantable heart defibrillators. The recall is being issued because Boston Scientific has determined that it did not get approval from federal regulators for changes to its manufacturing processes.
According to a Boston Scientific press release, the company is halting sales and retrieving field inventory of all its implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) because it did not get approval from federal regulators for changes to its manufacturing processes. The seven brands affected are: COGNIS®, CONFIENT™, LIVIAN™, PRIZM™, RENEWAL®, TELIGEN® and VITALITY™. The Company's pacemakers and other products are not affected by the is action.
All of the devices in the recall were acquired by Boston Scientific in 2006 when it purchased medical device manufacturer Guidant Corp., of St. Paul, Minn., for $28.4 billion.
Boston Scientific informed the FDA on Sunday that it hadn't filed for approval and would withdraw its devices. While Boston Scientific did not use the word "recall" in its press release, The Wall Street Journal said the FDA has characterized the action as such.
The recall is expected to take a heavy toll on the company's bottom line. According to The Wall Street Journal, Boston Scientific will lose about $5 million in sales each day it can't sell the devices.

Trying to find a breeder - Soon to be first time GSD Owner
Hello everyone!
I am looking for a reputable GSD breeder in Southern California. I want a companion dog and am not looking to compete in any shows or competitions. I just want a healthy, obedient, and loyal companion. The only breeder I have come across is West Cost German Shepherds, but only via the website.
Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :)
I don't know the site you posted, but if your open to options, have you considered rescue, here is the link to one in southern California
Coastal German Shepherd Rescue, Adopt puppies in Orange County and All of Southern California I do know people that have dealt with them and say they are fantastic.
Adler Stein kennels.
if Oregon isn't too far for you I recommend TeMar shepherds in Canby. they have a facebook and website you should check out. some gorgeous animals from impeccable bloodlines. her male Zeager is used as a stud for kennels all over the PNW.
I have considered adopting from a rescue but I have decided to go with a breeder, I would rather not get into rescue vs breeder in this thread.
I would like a breeder in Southern California, I am located in Los Angeles and am willing to drive up to 150 miles.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Sorry Pasta, it was just a suggestion I wasn't getting into one vs the other. Good luck on your search
Does anyone have any experience with West Cost German Shepherds?

"Nymphomaniac" Star Shia LaBeouf to Bar Customer: "I Can Get You Killed"
Posted Tuesday December 10, 2013 9:30 AM GMT
His forthcoming film "Nymphomanic" is causing all kinds of controversy, and Shia LaBeouf is featured in a new promotional poster that's bound to raise eyebrows.
In the shot, the "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" star appears shirtless as he places his face in between Charlotte Gainsbourg's legs.
In related sketchiness, Shia reportedly got into a bar fight in London's Covent Garden on Saturday night (December 7) after a man approached him to defend his girlfriend, whom LaBeouf had insulted.
An eyewitness explained, "Shia went for this guy after he upset his girlfriend. It was shocking. He looked out of control. He shouted, 'I can get you killed.'" Thankfully a bouncer escorted him out of the establishment.

"I am so proud of all the Feed Your Hunger contestants,"
As the winner, Helena Duzenski received a free VIP ticket to the Beyond the Glass Ceiling Awards Gala, a signed copy of Dr. Robin Smith's book, a free ticket to an upcoming event with Aldonna Ambler in March, and one-on-one time with an expert to help her feed her hunger.

Everyone was so compassionate and generous, many confiding to me that they, too, have felt similarly. I want to thank NAWBO for holding this contest and challenging me to speak my truth to the community. It has been a truly rewarding and freeing experience."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/4/2013 (1544 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The pilot of a small plane was treated for minor injuries after he was forced down in white-out conditions in north-eastern Manitoba.
Search crews — including vehicles, snowmobiles and a helicopter — fanned out to search for the plane after Island Lake RCMP were notified that an aircraft emergency locator transmitter had been activated in the area, just after 3 p.m. on Wednesday.
The commercial aircraft, a 1973 Cessna 207 operated out of Sandy Lake, Ont., was found by Mounties on snowmobile about half an hour later on Island Lake, about two miles off the winter road.
There were no passengers on the plane which had taken off from Island Lake and had only been in the air for a few minutes before crashing.
The pilot, a 26-year-old man from Red Deer, Alta., was taken to the Garden Hill Nursing Station for treatment of minor injuries.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has been notified. Authorities continue to investigate.

Despite Congress having a 17 percent approval rating nationwide, 4th District Rep. Scott DesJarlais welcomed the second-ranking member of the House, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, to a Chattanooga fundraiser early Friday morning.
Aides for DesJarlais would not confirm the amount raised during the $500-per-plate breakfast at the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club, but approximately 35 people attended. Cantor was scheduled to participate in a $1,000-per-person fundraiser for Rep. Chuck Fleischmann in Knoxville later in the day.
Among those in the room was Sen. Bob Corker, who spoke before both DesJarlais and Cantor and said he "happened" to be in town that morning.
When asked if he would attend a similar event in support of Fleischmann, Corker never gave a conclusive answer.
"I'm basically not involved in the 3rd District race right now, and haven't been," Corker said. "We tried to coordinate doing something [last summer], but we had numbers of votes—actually we had two different events set up that were [last] summer as a matter of fact—but we were not able to put them together because of House or Senate votes."
Although speculation had been forming, neither of Fleischmann's most serious challengers Scottie Mayfield or Weston Wamp, the son of former 3rd District Rep. Zach Wamp, had declared their candidacies in the summer of 2011.
When a reporter asked Corker if he thought Fleischmann was a better candidate than either of his opponents, he declined to comment.
"You know, y'all are doing a great job," he added.
DesJarlais said he was happy to have the support of Tennessee's junior senator.
"Sen. Corker is a man that is very principled; he's not in politics because he wants to be a politician," DesJarlais said. "He's got a tremendous economic background, and he's a great asset to the Senate."
Following the fundraiser, Cantor praised both DesJarlais and Fleischmann, calling them "principled conservatives" who were working hard every day to address the challengers of Tennessee's working families. When asked for his thoughts on Fleischmann's battle against Wamp, the son of one of his former colleagues, Cantor said he didn't know Weston Wamp.
"I am strongly behind Chuck Fleischmann in this race," Cantor said. "Chuck Fleischmann is the kind of new face that I think this area needs to represent the views of the people here, and he's an effective leader."
Although Fleischmann faces serious challengers in the Aug. 2 Republican primary, DesJarlais is campaigning hard against state Sen. Eric Stewart, a Democrat, in the 4th District.

Documentation and support
METIS wiki - GSIM v0v1.80
Building on, and similarly to the GSBPM, GSIM can be described as providing a basis for statistical organizations to agree on common terminology and definitions to aid their discussion on developing metadata systems and information management frameworks. More specifically, it is anticipated that GSIM will fulfill GSIM has an essential role as a reference model that can be operationalized on a consistent basis when defining the information required to drive statistical production processes as well as when defining the outputs (eg statistical data) and outcomes (eg process metrics) from those processes.
The latest version of the model is presented here. The documentation is layered to address the needs of different audiences, from general readers who want a broad understanding of GSIM to developers who want to ensure an implementation. GSIM v0.8 is the fourth version of the model. The changes from version 0.4 include the addition of the Specification document which is necessary for implementations based on GSIM and more detailed relationships between GSIM and other standards.
METIS wiki - Old versions of GSIM
Earlier intermediary versions are presented in this webpage. From the background to GSIM, to GSIM v0.1, v0.2 and , v0.3, v0.4 and v0.8. In particular, the documents for GSIM v0.4 and v0.3 are also available in Russian.
METIS wiki - Previous GSIM workshops
In order to accelerate the development of GSIM two Sprint sessions were held in 2012. Sprint 1 took place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, from the 20th February to 2nd March 2012. A proposed broad structure for GSIM and a Common Reference Model were produced. The documents produced on these topics can be found in this page together with the program of the workshop and a daily blog on the progress of the sprint.

Red Apple is not just another grocery store - its a way of life for Africans in the Washington Metropolitan area. Its situated at Langley Crossing shopping center in Maryland, an area that is heavily populated by immigrants.
Red Apple is owned by Asians - Chinese immigrants with a mostly minority work force from third world nations of North, Central and South America and Africa. This is a place where Africans, especially Sierra Leoneans, come to shop, hangout and gossip. Here, one can give and take updates on past, present and future events.
One can hardly see inside the store from outside because its dirty windows are papered with posters and flyers of announcements of past and future events. Many, in fact, are several years old. Inside, shoppers, mostly Africans, crisscross its busy aisles, to buy oggirii and kaendaii, to buy maggiiii and peppeiv.
The checkout clerks at the cash registers are all Chinese. Immigrants from Africa, the Caribbean and South America make up the rest of the stores work force - mostly stock clerks and meat cutters. Tall poles are welded onto the store carts to prevent shoppers from taking, riding and abandoning them in the parking lot of a huge apartment complex, a block down the road, nicknamed Little Freetown but known officially as New Hampshire Towers. Its rear balconies are lined with rusted railings caused by years of residents hanging their laundry out to dry. In response, the complexs management sent a strongly worded letter to its mostly Sierra Leonean residents banning this practice, and continues to send reminders, especially to the "jos camv" residents. In and around the lobbies and parking lots of Little Freetown, the tones and inflections of Kriovi abound.
Claudia Johnson, a long time resident of Little Freetown, stood by the door of the south tower looking for Rugi, her friend who lives in the north tower. Rugi is slender in shape, but when dressed in a burgundy mini skirt she is fond of, her waist and belly look like half a portion of red apple. It was a hot summer day, and Claudia watched her walk on the sun-lit side-walk across the towers.
Claudia was dressed in a docket-and-lapa, an African outfit that is made of a garavii cotton blouse and a wrap-around. She is slightly heavy with over-sized buttocks that attract her to African apparel because they fit her better. Claudia and Rugi used to be dark in complexion, but are much lighter now having bleached their skin. Traces of their former complexion could only be seen on their knuckles, which are resistant to bleaching. Rugi pushed open the door and beckoned Claudia outside.
"Mi sister Kusheh ohviii!" Claudia greeted Rugi in crystal Krio. A Latino woman stared as she walked by the two women. Swoop! Swoop! The red apple like and over-sized buttocks swapped left-and-right and up-and-down up the street to Red Apple to do their weekend grocery shopping.
The most striking thing at Red Apple is the meat counter. A glimpse over the counter reveals cuts of steak and tenderloin perishing, drying out and turning black. Thats because Red Apple patrons - Sierra Leoneans and others from West Africa - buy enormous amounts of ox-tails, portions of cow-gut, cow skin and pig feet. Claudia and Rugi walked straight to the meat counter and stood in line.
"Na you de take da kine nonsense. If na me, ah de go right na di nursing home en cherr eeix.," Rugi encouraged Claudia to deal with her husband, Safia Johnson, a Registered Nurse and also the Nurse-in-Charge at Jerusalem Home, a senior assisted living facility a few miles down the road from Little Freetown. Rugi revealed that Safia Johnson had slept with many of the women who work for Jerusalem Home, but she did not tell her friend that her vehemence stemmed from being dumped by Safia Johnson for a younger, more buxom worker who had just arrived from Sierra Leone.
"Nex! Nex! Nexx !" the Jamaican meat cutter yelled, repeatedly in a deep Jamaican accent, at Rugi who was busy giving a run-down of a previous episode at Jerusalem Home.
"Na complete dog yu de sleep with soxi ," she pounded on Claudia.
"How for do - ah no say na player, but if ah bin don pass mi board so now, ah no go suffer lekeh so boxii " Claudia consoled herself.
Unlike the many female co-workers Safia Johnson fools around with, he had managed to acquire an associate degree in nursing at one of the community colleges around the beltway. Most of his victims are Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). Because, all these nursing facilities need to function are two or three Registered Nurses to meet states certification demands and a pool of CNAs completed the nursing staff. In these circles of nursing home work staff, someone like Safia Johnson is considered a one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind. He had been kicked out of several nursing homes for causing fights amongst his CNA lovers.
Well, Rugi was not quite satisfied with Claudias response. She wanted to see her give Safia Johnson the boot, "Mi sister mek ah tell you waitin you nor no; three days ago somebody see Safia Johnson de kiss da rusty pickin way jus start the wokexiii "
These women are vulnerable to Safia Johnsons abuse of power at Jerusalem Home because they have two jobs and are always running late in between the jobs. Ironically, Safia Johnson prepares the schedules. They also like to call off whenever there is a party to attend on weekends. Safia Johnson had also stopped seeing the CNA who had seen him with the new girlfriend. But such incident doesnt go by without the gossiping and mocking now being manifested. She was speaking very loudly, slapping the sides of her buttocks in vogue, throwing her hands in the air, rolling her eyes, occasionally furrowing her brow in disgust that Claudia has been too patient taking "dis nonsensexiv !" But the noise didnt matter to anyone in Red Apple because everyone here is loud, and the meat cutter only cared about keeping the line moving.
Besides the gossip at Red Apple, it brings to life many memories - The butcher was busy weighing chicken necks for the next customer, but the sights of actual chicken heads on the far side of the counter ready to be sold made Claudia ignore Rugi and giggled. It reminded her of a story Safia Johnson had told her many years ago. Claudia had worked hard between two jobs to sponsor his coming to the United States. When he arrived, he had a hard time finding a job, and Claudia tirelessly took care of all the bills. "Ah! Dis Safia, if ah bin noxv ," she sighed. The chicken heads had ignited old memories and she smiled as she reminisced:
"He went to a Kentucky Fried Chicken, a fast food chain, to find a job just when he had been in the country for only two months.
He told the manager on the job interview; I am an experienced cook.
The manager asked him to share his cooking experience with him. Very shy then, but encouraged by the managers curiosity, Tell me more, how do you cook a chicken?
He cleared his throat, took a deep breath and started, First, you chase the chicken.
What! Did you just say chase the chicken? Hmmm, carry on. tell me more, the manager further encouraged him.
Yes, and you cut its neck with a knife, usually following some ritual for expiation for the life you are about to take, he said, now developing confidence from the managers show of curiosity.
The manager pulled his chair closer, held his chin in his hand, looking enthralled. What else? He asked.
Now that his confidence had been further bolstered by the thought that the manager was impressed with his experience, he continued; You then boil the chicken in a large pot to soften its feathers before plucking them off-it is easy to pluck chicken feathers after you boil it. Now is the time to cut it up into small pieces to be cooked into a delectable soup in palm-oil or groundnut-oil. He concluded.
I tell you what Mr. Johnson; you have too much experience for this job. Ill call you, the manager had said and dismissed him."
Approaching the cash registers were Marie, Kumba and Yei-Yei. Their topic was a weekend party occurrence three weeks ago at 25th Place. Like many Sierra Leoneans in the Washington Metropolitan area who come to Red Apple, Claudia, Rugi, Marie, Kumba and Yei-Yei came to the US from Sierra Leone straight to Sierra Leonean households or apartments. From the time they arrived to the time they meet at Red Apple as independent members of the community, they know no place other than Little Freetown, Red Apple and their work places, mostly senior living facilities. Their lives rotate in a triangle as follows; five days of work at nursing homes mostly run by Sierra Leoneans, off days at Red Apple and nights at 25th Place party hall. Very seldom they find themselves outside this triangle for picnics or parties at different locations. But if they do for business reasons, their body language show panic and paranoia. Many came direct to Little Freetown through sponsorship by family members, husbands or wives and friends, including Claudia and Rugi, thereby making it the largest Sierra Leonean community in the area. In fact, before Claudia came, Little Freetown was part of Silver Spring. Several years ago, the counties did redistricting and Little Freetown became Tacoma Park. When Claudia was in Sierra Leone she thought that Silver Spring is the capital city of the United States. Before she arrived, many addresses she saw or addressed letters were Silver Spring, Maryland addresses. It wasnt surprising to her, one evening, when the CNN Headline News read, "Sierra Leoneans make the largest population of Africans living in Maryland." But Red Apple isnt just popular among Sierra Leoneans in Maryland. Its a popular destination for almost all Sierra Leoneans in the Metro area of Maryland, Washington and Virginia.
Marie, Kumba and Yei-Yei were busy discussing a fight that broke out that night between rivals over Safia Johnson. The sight of Claudia in the store had prompted the discussion. Safia Johnson had told Claudia that he was going to New York on a nurses conference only to really go on a date at the popular 25th Place with a new girlfriend he had met at work that week. The party was on a Saturday, but Safia had left home on a Friday. He had booked a room at a Days Inn not too far from 25th Place. He had also put on his best party clothes and slapped on some cologne that teased Claudia.
"A no say nor to no meeting yu de goxvi ," Claudia said, but Safia Johnson didnt pay any attention to her. Instead, he was busy preparing himself to leave as quickly as he could before the argument turned into a fistfight.
"Safia na to yu ah de talk nor make lek yu nor yeri mexvii ," she insisted.
"Yu beteh sidom safful. Yu di talk lek say way de rent time cam na yu de pay amxviii ," he warned her.
"If na da party yu de go, dis tem wi go mittop dexix ," Claudia promised.
But Safia Johnson still did not pay any attention to her. He knew that Claudia would not dare to go to a party without him. It didnt really matter whether she was aware or not of his plan. The important thing was for him to leave, and whatever happened after, he would deal with later.
"Im not going to tolerate this any more," she sucked her teeth and slapped the side of her buttocks.
"I am tired with you treating me like I am your child. You want to know everything that I do... and even when I tell you, you dont believe me," Safia Johnson snapped.
"Why should I, when I am being confronted by many other women on a daily basis?" Claudia rebutted.
"Well, you will find out soon who will pay the rent when I dont return to you. If you cannot give me the chance to do what I do to pay the bills, someone else would without the drama you create everyday." Safia Johnson threatened.
At this point, Claudia gave in to Safia Johnsons intimidation. He is the breadwinner of the house and that gave him the upper hand. Claudias situation is even worse than the other females in the triangle. She had completed six months CNA training, and had taken the board exam many times but failed. She works living-inxx for old folks as a domestic servant through out the weekdays only to return home on weekends and that gives Safia Johnson time to do his fooling around with the women in the triangle. Lo and behold, Rugi had told Claudia that Safia Johnson was seeing a new girl he was intending to take to the party. Marie explained the story compounded by uncontainable giggles creating catcalls and laughter in the store:
"She found help among her friends and cousins, Binta, Sarah and Mabinti to catch him in the act. She was provoked into action when Mabinti confirmed what Rugi had also told her about Safia Johnsons plan for the party.
Once at the party hall, Binta and Sarah went inside to locate Safia Johnson and the girlfriends position. The two were dancing to a very popular Jamaican dancehall track. The girlfriend was in a crouching position, rocking her behind on Safia Johnsons crotch as he held her shoulder blades as if he was massaging her when Claudia, Binta, Sarah and Mabinti bustled in on them. Before they could fully understand what was going on, pieces of the girlfriends underwear were having a dance of their own in the sound filled hall clearly visible under neon and florescent lights. She was severely flogged by Claudia and her helpers to the extent that she urinated on herself. By then, Safia Johnson was long gone."
The three of them broke into raucous laughter so distracting that Rugi noticed and used it to further provoke Claudia, "Na yu den pikin den de laf so fulumunkuxxi ."
Rugis persistent mocking unnerved Claudia. Both women walked straight to Marie and her friends in an exchange of cursing so severe both parties were asked to leave the store by the county police.
This is a day in the Red Apple, the meeting tangent in a triangle of shopping, hanging-out and gossiping.

vacuum advance causes engine to die
Need help with this one. 62 Ford 352. Starts and runs fine for about 20 seconds then runs really bad and feels like timing is out. Disconnected and plugged vacuum advance. After warming up it smooths out on its own and the engine runs fine. Timing is dead on and running smooth when warm. When I plug vacuum line back in it kills the engine and wont start with the line plugged in. Any suggestions?
Sounds more like a choke issue. The vacuum advance does not come into play if the engine is not started yet. The only thing may be if there are bare wires in the distributor and when you are plugging in the vacuum advance you are somehow shorting something.
I agree, sounds more like the advance can is shot and its causing a vacuum leak when you plug it in.
Turns out the advance mechanism was stuck and wasn't advancing. I loosened it and now its working, started and ran fine. Only problem now is that it wants to die on slight acceleration, runs fine at idle and more acceleration or full throttle. But easing out of a stop wants to back fire and die. Timing is still good.
Any clues?
Is the accelerator pump shooting fuel the moment you move the throttle? It should be giving a shot instantly.
Do you have the original single diaphragm vacuum advance and points distributor? Is the vacuum advance retracting when vacuum is applied. Does it HOLD the vacuum? Be sure the vacuum advance is moving the advance plate in the distributor when vacuum is applied. They can stick same as the mechanical advance. Try switching the vacuum advance hose from whatever it's on now (ported or manifold).

MIPI RFFE Protocol Decode, Fixed Perpetual Licence
Manufacturer's part number :
Description :
The MIPI Alliance Specification for RF Front-End Control Interface (RFFE) was developed to offer a common and widespread method for controlling RF front-end devices. There are a variety of front-end devices, including Power Amplifiers (PA), Low-Noise Amplifiers (LNA), filters, switches, power management modules, antenna tuners and sensors. RFFE is mainly an RF front-end-dedicated control interface. RFFE supports point-to-multipoint connectivity RF front-end control. RFFE utilizes a relatively high bus clock frequency of 26 MHz, and by the introduction of time-accurate triggering mechanisms, allows control of timing-critical functions in multiple devices.
Keysight 9000A, 9000 H-, 90000A, 90000 X-, and 90000 Q-Series oscilloscopes offer protocol decode for RFFE designs. The RFFE protocol decoder enables faster and better development of wireless mobile products that employ the RFFE technology. The protocol analysis application lets teams quickly move from physical layer to protocol layer measurements and includes software-based triggering.

Kernels get last comeback to beat Rattlers
Borenstein's big night leads Cedar Rapids to 12-11 win
By Wisconsin Timber Rattlers | July 6, 2012 7:34 PM ET
The Kernels (37-48 overall, 5-10 second half) got the first run of the game. Eric Stamets was hit by a pitch to start the inning. Alex Yarbrough followed with a double to put runners on the corners with no outs. An RBI grounder to second by Frazier Hall scored Stamets for a 1-0 lead.
Wisconsin (51-33, 7-8) broke out in front with a pair of runs in the fifth inning. Cameron Garfield was hit by a pitch and Yadiel Rivera doubled to put runners at second and third with no outs. The double by Rivera was the first Wisconsin hit off Kernels starting pitcher Michael Johnson. It was also the last. Johnson left the game after the double by Rivera with a blister on his pitching hand.
Reliever Logan Odom could not hold the lead for the Kernels. Max Walla got the tying run home with a RBI grounder to first. Chadwin Stang sent Rivera home with a single for a 2-1 Rattlers lead.
Cedar Rapids tied the game in the bottom of the inning. Borenstein, who had doubled to lead off the frame, scored from third on a two-out wild pitch by Thompson.
Nick Ramirez pushed the Rattlers back in front in the top of the sixth inning with a long home run to right-center. The homer, his eighth of the season, was a solo shot to start the frame and make the score 3-2.
The Kernels answered with a two-out rally in the bottom of the sixth inning against reliever Jacob Barnes. Barnes walked the leadoff batter, but struck out the next two hitters was on the verge of getting out of the frame. But, Zach Wright tied the game by blooping a double down the right field line. Borenstein was next and he blooped a double down the left field line to send Wright home with the go ahead run. Trevor Hairgrove capped the inning with a single through the middle of the diamond to score Borenstein with a run for a 5-3.
The Kernels appeared to put the game away with five runs in the bottom of the seventh. Yarbrough doubled with two runners on base to knock in both runners. Later in the inning Borenstein welcomed reliever Stosh Wawrzasek with a three-run home run. That put the Kernels up 10-3 heading to the eighth inning.
Wisconsin loaded the bases with one out against Joe Melioris and Walla, a lefty, was due to hit. The Kernels went to get a lefty out of the bullpen, Stephen Tromblee. Walla worked the count to 3-1 and pulled a pitch past the first base bag. The ball rolled into the right field corner for a three-run triple to cut the Kernels lead to 10-6.
Adrian Williams kept the inning going with a walk. Stang followed with a bunt single to get Walla home and the score was 10-7.
Lance Roenicke loaded the bases with an infield single. Then, Brandon Macias dropped a single into center to score a single run. The score was 10-8 with the bases loaded again, one out, and Ben McMahan due to hit.
McMahan had already batted with the bases loaded once in the game. In the fifth inning, he flew out to right. In the eighth, McMahan drove a flyball to the wall in right field for another three-run triple and the Rattlers took the lead 11-10.
Closer Tommy Toledo came on to pitch the eighth inning and he worked around a two out single. In the ninth, he could not work around Borenstein. Andy Workman doubled with one out and took third base on a grounder to short for the second out of the inning.
Borenstein lined the first pitch he saw from Toledo over the wall in right for the game-winning home run.
Wisconsin returns home to begin a brief three game homestand against the Kane County Cougars. Game one of the set is Saturday night at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium. The Timber Rattlers have Matt Miller (7-5, 3.95) as their scheduled starting pitcher. Kane County plans to send Angel Baez (3-2, 2.52) to the mound as their starter. Game time is 6:35pm.
The Timber Rattlers and Fox River Mall invited Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, and Tiana to our castle for the game and they look forward to greeting fans under the first base picnic pavilion during the game as part of Storybook Princess Night.
The first 500 fans to attend the game will receive coupon packets, bracelets and feather boas compliments of Fox River Mall and the first 500 kids will also receive a princess toothbrush provided by Dental Associates. Exhibitors from the mall (Things Remembered, Great American Cookie Company, Pandora, and more) will be on the main concourse of the stadium with services and prizes like hand massages, beauty kits, and bracelets. Little princess fans may register to win Fox River Mall gift cards and Club Sassafras Princess Parties, too.
Plus, it's a Fly Away Saturday. One lucky fan will win charter airfare for two from Funjet Vacations and Fox World Travel at this game.

Watch on YouTube: Photography Techniques: Using a Tripod for Video
The secret behind shooting great iPhone (or any) video starts by using sound photography techniques which include: using a tripod, shot composition, lighting, exposure, and focusing.
There is only one thing you will have if you don't start applying these principles: poor iPhone video, and we don't want that. We want you to shoot professional looking video.
Shooting appealing visuals can be challenging if you don't pay close attention to all aspects of the image, and the smallest thing will affect your video quality… especially unnecessary shake.
You should always try to shoot video like a pro and use a tripod.
Using a tripod will make your productions easier. It will insure that your shot is perfectly still, and your video won't jar your viewers. A tripod will save your shoulder, arm, or wrist if you are shooting a lengthy speech or presentation. A tripod will also allow you to self-shoot, if you want to record yourself speaking on camera.
Shooting iPhone Video with a Tripod
Here is the basic recipe for using a tripod:
1. Extend the legs to the desired height (make sure legs are locked)
2. Attach the camera to the tripod via the quick release plate
3. Loosen tilt and pan locks and frame the shot using rule of thirds
4. Once desired shot is framed, lock tilt and pan locks
Basic Movement
Pan: Horizontal movement
Tilt: Verticle movement
Make sure all movement is smooth, with a clear start and end to the move.
Camera: A smarphone, DSLR, camcorder or prosumer camera.
Fluid Tripod
Budget – $60 Promaster 7100 (good for smartphones and cameras up to 11 lbs)
Modest Budget – $140 Ravelli Fluid Head Tripod (DSLRs and cameras up to 27lbs)-
Professional/Prosumer – $600 Manfrotto 501 This tripod is the standard for professionals who shoot on DSLRs and any video camera that weighs up to 18 lbs. If you're serious about your videography this is the one to get.
Tripod Adapter $12

hi! My name is Kat. I live on the IL side of St Louis. I have been cooking for years and really enjoy it. Between my husband, toddler, and another on the way, I am having a hard time making it to the kitchen lately. Hoping to make some friends and gain some inspiration here!

If you love or make music, and you love or loved radio (as we did, have, and still do to a degree), you must watch this video. This is very well done, and especially chilling that it appears to be a decade or more old. Frank Zappa (God rest his soul) hasn't looked like he does in this video since the late 80s we'd guess.
SO, assuming this was made in the late 90s, it's shocking how much farther down the slope it's gone for the mega-corporate-controlled radio and music industries than even the bleak picture painted by this video.
However…thanks to technology, things are looking up for independents. Like us.
Your phone. Is your "new" radio.
You hold the power in your hands (literally). You can choose now more than at any other time in history. Corporate force-fed homogenized pablum? You can have it if you like. OR, you can align with new thinkers embarking on new paths.
2012 is going to be an exciting year for Q101 and our friends. Are you coming along for the ride? If not, it's ok. We'll miss you. After all, the more the merrier.
If you are comin' along, we want and need you involved. Stay tuned (in a matter of speaking), get mobilized, and get active with us.
Now then, watch this video. Thanks!
Thanks to http://www.antiquiet.com/ and http://www.youtube.com/user/waftv for this vid!
OH, THEN CHECK THIS OUT: Former Q101'er Kevin Manno talks about corporate radio on this podcast.

The UK, however, did sign up to the ICC, but has so far refused to investigate the possibility of war crimes having been committed by its own forces. It was for this reason that I and a number of others petitioned the ICC earlier this year to undertake this task. The situation now is far more serious and cannot be left to the political accountability of the ballot box. While an investigation by the Ministry of Defence and the Royal Military Police of individual allegations is extremely important, it is the question of "coalition government" responsibility that looms larger.
The Red Cross completed its work in 2003. It appears that when it presented its report to the coalition forces, respective governments must have been made aware of these outrages. Who within the British government knew about this? What action was taken? If they claim they did not know, how was this possible? Let's skip another Hutton-style inquiry and get some answers in court. The ICC statute expressly provides for the situation uncovered by the Red Cross. Such activities are categorised as "crimes against humanity" under article 7. What has happened in Iraq cannot have been perpetrated without organisational approval or connivance. Indeed, the excuse being peddled so far is that this was an accepted culture of violence.
Bearing in mind a background of illegality of the war itself, war crimes committed in its execution, the initial occupation, subsequent atrocities, continuing detentions in Guantánamo Bay, it is now time for the British government to sever its links with the Bush administration, to announce a staged withdrawal from Iraq and to initiate a thorough investigation pursuant to article 7. If there is a continuing refusal to do this, it's difficult to say why Britain bothered to sign up the ICC in the first place.
Michael Mansfield QC
Your leader (May 8), sadly, missed the point. The 1989 "Thornburgh doctrine" and the case of Saltany v Reagan ensure that a US president enjoys sovereign immunity for the actions of his officials or armed forces, in war or peace, and whether performed within the US or in any other nation. The doctrine accompanied America's rejection of the international court of justice and all international forums in which US citizens or soldiers may be indicted for crimes of any kind, including war crimes.

In a separate trial this week, Kanawha County prosecutors attempted to prove that Murray had a criminal history and was in violation of state recidivism laws, which call for harsher sentences for defendants with repeat, usually violent, criminal histories.On Tuesday, a jury found that Murray was convicted of robbery in 1998 and firearm possession and wanton endangerment charges in 2003.The recidivism statute holds that Murray will be eligible for parole after 15 years on the kidnapping charge. If Kanawha Circuit Judge Charles King decides to run the kidnapping and murder sentences consecutively, Murray will spend a minimum of 30 years in prison before he is able to appear before a parole board, according to prosecutors.

Apple ipad versus other versions (application wise)
Started by DontKnowDontCare , Nov 19 2012 01:17 PM
1 reply to this topic
Posted 19 November 2012 - 01:17 PM
A friend of mine is looking to get an ipad for her children (no special needs issues, to my knowledge) but is a little horrified by the cost involved.
She is aware of other versions out there, but knows nothing about any of them. I have heard of various tablets, and am aware they are cheaper, but we got the apple ipad as it was the most beneficial for our son's autism (more variety of application in apple)
She's interested in some of the learning applications for her boys. I don't know much about the other versions, but don't want to recommend she get the Apple, if there is something cheaper that would suit her needs.
Can anyone help? TIA

I have a tablet running android and think there are plenty of great kids apps available. In fact the kids probably use if more than I do! DS 1 often comes home talking about an app that he has seen on a friends iPad and we are easily able to find it on Google market place. We love
Reading eggs/ Eggy words
Angry birds
Fish farts
Cut the rope
Kapu forest.
I would be more thinking about how robust the case or glass is as I imagine that might change a bit depending on price.
