Rarely do moments like this occur. Last week, while watching the evening news (yes, I still watch news), I was horrified by the continued coverage of the cruise ship disaster in Italy. But, while watching the coverage, I was wading through my mail and opened a direct mail piece (also a rare event) that I had just received. To my horror, I found an offer from American Express to sign up for the Costa Concordia cruise. Worse still, it offered to "immerse" me in a truly European experience. To make things even worse, notice the typo in the headline?
While marketers strive to achieve messaging relevance that would make you stop what you're doing and take notice, this execution in particular was a case of bad timing and lack of foresight into the implications of marketing campaigns already in flight.
What lessons does this highlight for customer intelligence (CI)?

Car is a 20th, 1.8t 6-speed.
I noticed something the other day that is happening occasionally on acceleration. At partial throttle, usually pulling away from a light or stop sign, I get this weird hesitation. It only happens at partial throttle and usually only in first, sometimes in second. As the RPMs increase up to around 3k, it's as if I lose power for a second. You can feel the car stop accelerating for a second, then it begins to pull again.
If it's under heavy acceleration it never happens. It doesn't feel like the clutch slipping, more like the motor hesitating, but there's no noises or missing or anything like that. The RPMs don't jump up or anything. It's like for a second it's making no power, then it comes back.
Anyone experience anything like this. Anything I should check? Thanks for any help.

Best Of :: People & Places
It's not easy getting an audience for Shakespeare in this town. And no one knows that better than Actors' Renaissance Theatre. This truly local troupe started (and still exists) on a shoestring but is held together by strong performances, well-planned seasons, and the passion of its founders, husband-and-wife team James and Ashley Barnard. ART offers up the classics of Austen, Wilde and Shakespeare, stages an annual Valley of the Sun Shakespeare Festival, and debuts original works, like its recent world première adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. None of these things is exactly known for selling hordes of tickets, but ART still manages to put on good, affordable theater without going under, and without the help of underwriting or grants. In our book, that deserves recognition.

How could one guy hurt so many people and maintain the highest approval rating of any elected official in the county? We've gotta hand it to you, Sheriff Joe: You are one fine politician. We'd like to bottle the sheriff's elixir and sell it for those interested in doing good, rather than evil, but for now we'll applaud Arpaio for making the decision not to run for governor this fall. The mark of a good politician is not just knowing when to run, it's knowing when not to run -- and somewhere beneath all that hair grease, Arpaio must have had some self-awareness (or some political consultant) telling him his record in office just wouldn't have held up in the shadow of the governor's race.
Joe Arpaio's not going to win any awards for promoting human rights, and like others we've elected, he's dangerous. But as a politician, he's got all the rest of you losers beat.
Really, we're not making this one up. Court Rich is a first-year associate at Nearhood Law Offices in Scottsdale, and a recent graduate of Arizona State University's law school. Since he'll be specializing in business litigation, he may even see the inside of a courtroom -- a rarity for a lawyer these days. But will he be rich? Remains to be seen, although he does have a head start in the public relations department. Turns out Court Rich is the brother of Jordan, who's married to Jason Rose, who runs a PR firm in Scottsdale. And Rose can already see the ad on the back of the phone book: "Need to go to court? Want to get rich? Call Court Rich. 1-800-COURT-RICH."
So often, people in our (un)fair city use their power for evil. We're happy to celebrate a couple of powerful Phoenicians who, as far as we can tell, do nothing but good.
Instead of building skyscrapers, Cindy Dach and Greg Esser are busy constructing culture. Dach is director of events for Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe. Esser runs the public art program for the City of Phoenix. Thank Dach for bringing Amy Tan, David Sedaris, T.C. Boyle and Dr. Andrew Weil to town for readings. Expect Garrison Keillor this fall. Esser gets credit for that cool mountain-like bridge over the 51 and the public art coin project along Central Avenue.
On the side, Dach writes fiction and Esser paints. In their spare time this year, they created two of the city's most vibrant art spaces.
Dismayed by the lack of artist-run galleries in the Valley, earlier this year Dach and Esser opened eye lounge, in a building they bought and refurbished. The space -- at 419 East Roosevelt, next to Modified Arts and across from the Paisley Violin -- quickly became a favorite stop on First Fridays, and, in September, Esser opened 515, a spin-off gallery just a few doors down from eye lounge.
We can't wait to see what Dach and Esser do next. We're exhausted just thinking about it.
A few blocks north of Phoenix's business district sits Trinity Cathedral, the 82-year-old Episcopalian church that houses the perfect getaway for those looking for some artistic time off. Between the cathedral itself (surprisingly modern and warm inside) and Bishop Atwood Hall you'll find the Cathedral Center for the Arts show space, a light, narrow gallery that makes for the perfect aesthetic refuge. CCA hangs art there regularly, oftentimes the work of lesser-known artists, and the quality of the shows is consistent.
But it also offers a kind of cathedral-like quiet that many downtowners seem to crave; the gallery's guest book is salted with thanks from midday visitors for providing an oasis where they can sit, look and ponder. Now the secret's out.
And another tip: The brickwork labyrinth in the courtyard -- modeled after one at the medieval Chartres Cathedral -- makes for another neat diversion, especially for the kids.

During our Chevy Volt media day, myself and other journalists were given a whirlwind tour of the E-Flex battery lab. Hybrid Director Mickey Bly briefed us on the current mule (test car) status.
First, there have been four mules operational for the past 6 months. We actually got to see one on a lift, with an A123/Conti battery pack sitting on a smaller lift below the vehicle ready to ride up into the T-shaped space within the floorboard.
This mule which has been running constantly for these past 6 months has a fully-operational comprehensive E-Flex powertrain, and all of the Volt-specific components within it, per Bly. Thus far it has been running on a daily basis using small NiMh packs which allow it a 1 to 2 mile pure EV range, but has allowed testing of the electric drive, range extender, and controls. The skin of the car is that of a late model 2005 Malibu.
Mickey told us that the first lithium-ion pack (he wouldn't say which pack-maker first) will be placed into the first mule this month, and that GM plans a fleet of about a dozen to soon be off and running.
This month marks a strong and decisive landmark or turning point in the development process, for these prototypes, although not in finish, will be for all intents and purposes, Chevy Volts.
The engineers will from these be able to learn the real-world driving characteristics of the battery packs and allow them to prove the models are valid and the car will behave as intended.They will also learn how to optimize the control mechanisms.
Volt executive Frank Weber noted that true Volts both in appearance and form will appear in mid-2009.

Lingfield Park Racecourse
|Lingfield Park
|Official website
|Lingfield, Surrey
|Owned by
|Arena Leisure Plc
|Screened on
|At The Races
|Course type
| Flat
National Hunt
Lingfield Park Racecourse (commonly referred to as Lingfield) is a horse racing course at Lingfield in Surrey, United Kingdom. It is owned by Arena Leisure Plc.
Lingfield is best known as a winter all-weather flat-racing course; the track is Polytrack based, rather than the usual turf found in the UK. There are only four other all weather courses in the UK, the others being at Southwell, Kempton, Wolverhampton and Great Leighs. Lingfield stages flat racing on turf in the summer and National Hunt races are also run on turf.
Lingfield railway station adjoins the course, served by trains from London to East Grinstead via Oxted.
The racecourse is located in a 450 acre estate and was opened in 1890 by the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII), who also agreed to let Lingfield incorporate the Prince of Wales feathers into its official heading. The course initially held jumps racing only, but in 1894 the Jockey Club granted permission for flat racing to be held. Racing has been held continuously ever since, with the only exception being during World War II when the War Office requisitioned the course. Ladbrokes sold the course in 1982 and the new owners installed flood defences on the estate to alleviate the flooding that had become a major problem in the years immediately after the war. A golf course was developed and this opened in June 1987. Arena Leisure purchased the course in 1991, and in 2001 made the decision to replace the Equitrack all weather surface with Polytrack, opening in November 2001. Other recent developments have been the re-laying of the back straight on the turf course in 2002/2003 and the construction of a £5.5 million grandstand in 2004. In early 2009 the course had another record broken as Matsunosuke became the highest rated horse to win on the all weather surface rated 112 or 117 by RPR Racing Post This was dubbed as the greatest all weather horse of all time in the UK.

Dec 16, 2013 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterSome federal officials disagree with Riverton leaders who say questions about the boundary of the Wind River Indian Reservation need to be resolved in court.
In a document released Dec. 6, administrators with the Environmental Protection Agency said the federal group is responsible for determining the reservation's boundaries as part of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
"Certain commenters appear to assert that EPA lacks authority to determine the reservation's boundaries and that questions regarding the boundary are reserved solely to courts," the document states. "EPA disagrees."
Years in the making
The Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone tribes applied several years ago for Treatment as a State, or TAS, through the Clean Air Act. Last week, the EPA granted the tribes' request, defining the reservation's boundary as part of its decision.
Specifically, the EPA said that a 1905 Congressional Act, which opened certain reservation lands north of the Wind River to homesteading, did not "diminish" the boundaries of the reservation.
The land in question includes the City of Riverton.
The EPA opinion runs contrary to numerous federal court rulings which repeatedly have determined that Riverton is not part of the reservation.
'Ceded' land
Land for the original Riverton townsite was "ceded," or removed, from the reservation in 1905 and has been considered separate from the reservation since then -- until the unexpected EPA announcement last week. Other lands in the interior of the reservation have been sold to private parties through the years.
Officials from the City of Riverton, Fremont County government and Wyoming state government have challenged the EPA's interpretation.
Court challenge?
Gov. Matt Mead said the ruling will be contested in court, and State Sen. Eli Bebout of Riverton said the Wyoming Legislature will be asked to appropriate additional money to fund the legal battle. The Legislature convenes in February.
Agency officials said the TAS approval, including the boundary definition, became effective on Dec. 6, but a 60-day period associated with the approval sets a time frame for challenging the EPA's action, not for public comments. The EPA previously solicited and reviewed public comments on the tribes' application for TAS.
The officials also clarified that the boundary definition currently in question does not affect the land referred to as the "1953 Act area," which encompasses property from Morton to Boysen Reservoir including the town of Pavillion. Riverton is not located within the 1935 Act area.
The EPA document asserts that the agency is required to determine the boundaries of the reservation as part of the TAS request.
Local government officials expressed concern that the tribes would use this unprecedented federal opinion to press for further jurisdictional rights, particularly in Riverton.
Tribal officials, for example, last week immediately discussed "cross-deputizing" tribal police and Riverton police officers for law enforcement purposes in the city.
However, federal officials said their decision "does not affect the jurisdiction of federal courts to adjudicate issues properly raised for their consideration."
In addition, the decision does not give tribal leaders the authority to implement any CAA regulatory programs or to "otherwise implement tribal regulatory authority under the act.
"Several commenters raised concerns that EPA would approve a 50-mile buffer zone around the reservation in which the tribes would assert CAA regulatory authority.
"This function, however, does not entail the exercise of regulatory authority under the CAA. ... This provision provides eligible Indian tribes with certain notice and comment opportunities on nearby permitting actions that may affect their air quality," the document states.
Permitting authorities would not be required to modify their actions in response to comments from the tribes, but "(the tribes) would not exercise any regulatory authority under the act, nor would they implement any CAA function or program outside the exterior boundaries of the reservation," the document states.
The EPA called upon the U.S. Department of the Interior to analyze questions about the reservation boundary and whether the reservation was diminished by the 1905 Congressional Act. A solicitor with the DOI provided a written opinion in October 2011 concluding that the act did not "diminish" the reservation.
In his legal analysis, the solicitor said the 1905 Act does not include language that would "convey" or "surrender" "forever and absolutely" the tribes' right, title and interest in the land in question.
"The 1905 Act does not include express language to 'change the southern limit of said reservation' or to establish a new 'southern line of the Shoshone reservation,'" the analysis continues. "Rather, the 1905 Act refers to the lands at issue as 'embraced within the said reservation.'"
The Act also doesn't include language designating the opened lands as "public domain," nor does it express a clear intent to change the boundary of the reservation.
"The grant of right, title and interest to the United States was necessary for the U.S. to be able to transfer clear title to prospective homesteaders," the document states. "However, to achieve the purpose of opening the lands to settlement, it was not necessary, nor did the express language of the Act indicate intent, to alter the exterior boundaries of the reservation."
In a section discussing additional judicial references, the analysis includes arguments in support of the position that the 1905 Act diminished the exterior boundaries of the reservation. In the 1930s, several cases addressed a suit filed by the Eastern Shoshone Tribe for damages arising from the government's act of settling the Northern Arapaho Tribe on the Wind River Indian Reservation. The U.S. Court of Claims and the Supreme Court, in granting the parties' cross-petitions for certiorari at the time, referred to the area not opened to homesteading by the 1905 Act as the "diminished reservation."
The court of claims decision also included a map depicting the area north of the Big Wind River as "ceded by agreement of April 21, 1904," and the unopened area as the "present Wind River or Shoshone Indian Reservation."

Found the below link on your website.
but what is considered a "portable" tree stand?
Reason I ask is there has been a metal tree stand on Idaho Dept. of Lands for two years now, and I wonder if it's legal to leave it there year after year. I can send you a picture of it, but it was foggy that morning. Location via maps.google.com and paste in N46 51 48, W115 52 42. Look for the Green arrow.
Idaho Dep't of Lands would be the agency that has jurisdiction and may have an issue with tree stands left on lands they manage.
Idaho Fish and Game only regulates tree stands on property IDFG owns or manages (our Wildlife Management Areas). The Idaho Fish and Game Commission has a rule that prohibits:
construction of blinds, pits, platforms, or tree stands where the soil is disturbed, trees are cut or altered, and artificial fasteners, such as wire, rope, or nails are used. All blinds shall be available to the public on a "first-come - first-served" basis. Portable manufactured blinds and tree stands are allowed but may not be left overnight.
In reference your question asking the definition of Portable the rule is speaking to those commercially built type blinds or tree stands that are easily moved instead of a blind or tree stand you would construct from materials on site.
Again, this rule is specific on to land owned or managed by Idaho Fish and Game and does not apply to lands owned privately, or by any other public agency, such as Idaho Dept. of Lands, US Forest Service, Idaho Parks and Recreation, BLM, etc.

/// 2013 U.S. Agency of the Year: 72andSunny
The long wood table that 72andSunny partners John Boiler, Glenn Cole, Robert Nakata and Matt Jarvis share as a desk inside their Playa Vista, Calif., office says a lot about the agency and its recent success. You see, the desk is made of slats from the old floor of Pauley Pavilion, home court of UCLA's basketball team, another perennial Southern California winner. This desk doesn't symbolize winning, though—but rather, how you play the game. "One of our big inspirations is John Wooden," explains Jarvis, the agency's chief strategy officer, referring to UCLA's legendary head coach. "He never talked about winning or losing—he talked about performing at the highest level you're capable of. And so, that has been a huge influence on how we look at channeling our competitive spirit in a way that's productive, long term and sustainable." And though Wooden didn't fixate on winning, he still won more than 80 percent of the games he coached—a fact that makes him an extraordinary and appropriate role model for an agency completing its most successful year ever. In 2013, 72andSunny not only expanded relationships with core clients Samsung and Target, but it also landed coveted slots on the creative rosters of world-class brands ESPN, Google and Starbucks. In addition, the shop dethroned JWT as lead global agency on Smirnoff , the biggest selling spirits brand in the world. In the process, U.S. revenue soared 81 percent to an estimated $85 million. Creatively, the MDC Partners shop with the quirky name took big swings, particularly with Samsung and Activision Publishing, producing high-profile ads that blended celebrities with brands in unexpected ways. One long-form Samsung ad captured Jay-Z in the studio with producer Rick Rubin working on Jay-Z's latest release, Magna Carta Holy Grail —of which 1 million Galaxy owners got an exclusive early download. Another Samsung ad made great use of LeBron James in a warm family setting, with his wife using a Galaxy phone to film father and son at play. Finally, for Activision's Call of Duty: Ghosts, 72andSunny partnered with Eminem , who supplied music for the game and a video that teased the November launch.

Brian Hall has a clear message for the officials of the future – become students of the game.
Hall, perhaps one of the most recognised soccer referees from the United States, was appointed as the Professional Referee Organization's Match Official Development Manager at the end of 2013, charged with the responsibility of identifying and developing a group of top-level officials for the future.
But despite what he says has been fantastic development during his five months in the role, the 52-year-old wants to see the next generation submerge themselves in soccer and become masters of the sport.
"We are well on our way to starting to identify the second-teamers of officials who have the ability to referee at the elite level and be part of a crew that will take MLS games," Hall told proreferees.com.
"I think there is definitely progress. However, the size of America is probably the biggest challenge. You don't have the ability to see these guys on a regular basis. I'm based in New York and our officials are all over.
"When you see them, you give top-level instruction and advice but then they go home and after a short period of time they return to old habits.
"It's important we have as much time with them as possible, because the more time you spend with people the better they become. To Peter's [Walton, PRO General Manager] credit we've got plans in place.
"When you can't see these referees on a regular basis, they must be studying soccer, regularly watching MLS games and seeing what our top level referees are doing.
"They need to take the best bits and incorporate that into their own style. They also need to be looking at the teams, the players, and seeing how they can cope at this level.
"You can be successful at NASL and USL PRO level, but if you look at any country, when you get to the top the speed is completely different.
"Their development needs to include new ways to challenge themselves, find mentors to help them, reading books, and increasing the number of tools in their toolbox."
Another challenge, according to Hall, is how officials bounce back from mistakes, not just in the early stages of their development but throughout their lifetime.
Despite being on the FIFA list for 15 years at the time, Hall reflected on a moment in his career from 2006 that he uses to coach the future generation into understanding what is at stake in modern soccer, but also to teach them that misjudging a call here or there is part of the learning curve.
"I was refereeing the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League Final," he recalled.
"It was America against Toluca, two teams from Mexico, in one of the most storied stadiums in the world, the Azteca Stadium.
"I'm there, with my crew, and for 100 minutes I had a fantastic game. Then, a minute later, America scored and we award a goal. Upon review, we find out that in reality the player was offside and it should never have been a goal.
"The rest of the game was then a nightmare. I had to send players off, send technical staff off for coming onto the pitch - it was an absolute disaster.
"America won the game and I cost Toluca because they didn't win and didn't qualify for the World Club Championships. For two weeks I didn't sleep. I just kept thinking 'how will I solve this'.
"I was the leader of the crew and it was my responsibility we all got the decision correct. I was on cloud nine and then made that decision which changed everyone's perception of Brian Hall, the American referee.
"These days, there is even more financial risk associated with soccer teams - what they win in prize money, what they qualify for.
"This summer we are going to watch the World Cup with the top 25 referee crews in the world and we will see mistakes. It's part of the game and, in a way, what makes it so beautiful.
"What we are communicating to these officials is that it is OK to make mistakes but the key is doing something with them. You develop a solution and when you next go on the field you don't repeat the same error.
"With hard work and dedication, and I hope helpful training from myself and PRO, we can develop these talented individuals into a new batch of referees at the elite level of North American soccer."

Twenty years ago, many public commentators believed that religion was dead, or at least 'on the way out'. How wrong that proved. Simon Barrow looks at how the conversation about faith is deepening and broadening in the face of growing religious and non-religious diversity.
The lines in the John Lennon song are famous by now: "Imagine there's no religion... it's easy if you try..." But is it, and what would it mean?
A new report highlights the sometimes extreme limitations on freedom of thought for the non-religious in over 60 countries across the world.
Festival of Spirituality and Peace in Edinburgh (3-27 August 2012) is an Interfaith and intercultural event; there are Jewish, Islamic, Christian and Daoist events, for example, as well as artists from every contintent but Antarctica, reports Katie MacFadyen. But what is the relationship between 'interfaith' and 'no faith'? Where do Secular Humanists fall in this atmosphere of inclusivity?
A recent press comment from Mennonite World Conference acts as a helpful reminder of an important declaration inviting belief communities - faith-based and otherwise - to commit to peace in the midst of a world still riven with conflict and religiously- or ideologically-sanctioned violence.
The chair of Equality and Human Rights Commission has been asked to apologise to non-religious people for comments he made in a recent interview.
Humanists in the USA are launching a national multimedia ad campaign directly challenging fundamentalist Christianity and its misuse of the Bible.
Accord, a new coalition promoting inclusive education and seeking the reform of faith schools policy, has expressed reservations over the opening of the Krishna-Avanti School in Edgware, the first publicly-funded Hindu school in Britain.
Atheists are often criticising the ethics of religious belief, says Giles Fraser. But do they base their own moral practice too much on what they are against?

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens opened
and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove;
and a voice came from heaven,
"Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."
Gospel of Mark 1:9-11
Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High,
and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end."
But Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?"
And the angel said to her in reply, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.
Gospel of Luke 1:30-35
About eight days after he said this,
he took Peter, John, and James and went up the mountain to pray.
While he was praying his face changed in appearance and his clothing became dazzling white.
And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah,
who appeared in glory and spoke of his exodus that he was going to accomplish in Jerusalem.
Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but becoming fully awake,
they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him.
As they were about to part from him, Peter said to Jesus,
"Master, it is good that we are here; let us make three tents,
one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." But he did not know what he was saying.
While he was still speaking, a cloud came and cast a shadow over them,
and they became frightened when they entered the cloud.
Then from the cloud came a voice that said,
"This is my beloved Son; listen to him."
Gospel of Luke 9:28-35
"The Father and I are one." Gospel of John 10:30
Jesus said to him,
"Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip?
He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative,
but the Father abiding in Me does His works.
Gospel of John 14:9-10
"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you;
not as the world gives do I give to you."
Gospel of John 14:26-27
In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach,
until the day when he was taken up,
after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
To them he presented himself alive after his passion by many proofs,
appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.
And while staying with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem,
but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, "you heard from me,
for John baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
Acts of the Apostles 1:1-5
For to us God revealed them through the Spirit;
for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
For who among men knows the thoughts of a man
except the spirit of the man which is in him?
Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world,
but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,
which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom,
but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God,
for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them,
because they are spiritually appraised.
But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.
For who has known the mind of the LORD, that he will instruct him?
But we have the mind of Christ.
First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 2:10-16
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
Second Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 13:13
Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts,
the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father."
St. Paul to the Galatians 4:6
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to God's elect,
exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,
who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
through the sanctifying work of the Spirit,
to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: grace and peace be yours in abundance.
First Letter of St. Peter 1:1-2

While I was going for the whole "non-sticked/one piece vest" look, I am also limited on tools. The only real sewing machine I have access to (and I can't afford a half-decent one with my income) I don't have much of an advantage. It is an older singer, but it has a lot off issues. While working (and trying to sew, the result was a disaster from the machine) the bobin mechanism at the bottom went wonky and has already snapped 4 needles in half in the process. It's an older electric one (60? 50's?) that is portable, but it has run it's course. Unfortunately, the only person I technically know as a friend has one is sorta difficult to work with. She herself is new in anything sewing, but she acts as an expert (despite me seeing some of her work) and only work with her as long as I can bare the put-downs she does about "her way is best/ etc.." so when I have an idea I want to try, instead of letting me try it, she automatically shoots it down and belittles how bad an idea it is.
That's pretty much the only access I have to for sewing machines. I need to save some money first, but finances come first, and with Anime Nebraskon coming up, I still need to make sure I have money when I walk in that door, and on my limited income while going to school, it's gonna be an issue to just run out and buy one. Even locally they start at $300 for a decent one low-end. Not that I am in the middle of nowhere, but the only people who sell them here are fabric shops (Hancock, walmart doesnt' carry them here) and ones that I see for less than $70 online are going for well over $500 at the local hancock.
Ordering online will be an issue since timing till the convention is getting closer.
I will be able to get one some day so I can learn the techniques, but I work with what I got. Unfortunately, this is what I got.
I did the area around the arms great. I was suggested a sewing glue adhesive for tucking the corners. I have not been able to run out and get that yet, but I will. And it will be a small dab just to keep it down.
The adhesive itself can be ironed over. The look of the unironed treatment was after it was done. I had to leave where I was making it quickly and had a lot of stuff to carry, so I sorta (and I know, bad!) stuffed it in my carrying bag and left. That caused the wrinkles. It was pre-washed and ironed before I started.
Still waiting on the buttons to come in. I already got the sandals/shoes. The jeans are already ready to go. I will do a bit more combing over and seeing through research what I can do to work with the vest better, but it does look good. It looks like a clean edge, I took my time. I just apologize that I didn't have the best light and/or area to take the pics.

At a meeting with NGOs in Moscow, he said the Kremlin had responded to the criticism from some NGOs by amending the law, without elaborating further.
Human rights groups have criticised the bill signed by Mr Putin in January, saying it will stifle civil society.
It gives Moscow broad powers to monitor the activities and finances of NGOs.
The new powers include the right to suspend NGOs, should they threaten Russia's sovereignty or independence.
'Amendments included'
Mr Putin told the Civil G-8 conference that Russia had reacted to the sharp criticism from some NGOs and Western governments by sending Russian officials to discuss the new law with the Council of Europe.
"I included all of these suggestions in the president's amendments to the bill," he said, without giving any further details.
Mr Putin also urged NGOs to submit their own proposals to modify the law.
However, he again stressed that Moscow would not allow foreign governments to "finance any political activities" in Russia.
Russia's FSB security service - the main successor to the Soviet KGB - has accused Western intelligence agents of using NGOs to foment revolution in the former Soviet Union.
At one point, Russian anti-nuclear campaigners tried to disrupt Mr Putin's speech.
Wearing T-shirts that spelled out "No To Nuclear Power Stations" in a Russian abbreviation, six people stood up to attract the audience's attention.
However, Mr Putin reacted calmly. "Let them be, they came here to express themselves," he told security guards.
The two-day Civil G-8 conference brought together some 700 from Russian and international NGOs and human rights groups.
It is being held ahead of a G-8 summit later this month.

Featuring everything from intense horror shooter titles like Dead Space for iPad to casual classics like Angry Birds Rio, we've compiled a comprehensive updated list of over 20 of the greatest video games available for the Apple iPad.
Although it's not technically the full-fledged sequel to Rovio's monstrously popular piggie-maulting simulator, Angry Birds Rio is just enough of an improvement over the original game to warrant stealing a slot on this list from its predecessor. The game, which is a tie-in with Fox's recently-released animated feature film Rio, follows the Angry Birds across several of the locales from the movie. A few nifty improvements like the introduction of parallax scrolling backgrounds makes this entry in the Angry Birds series feel particularly polished, but it's ultimately the same great tower-toppling gameplay you've known and loved for over a year.
Carcassonne is an award-winning German board game that has begun to gain popularity around the world in recent years thanks in no small part to the release of numerous digital versions of the game. The game is a combination cooperative-competitive title in which you and up to up to four other players take turns laying down tiles which make up pieces of structures like roads or cities. Winning requires a blend of luck and strategy. It's a really enjoyable multiplayer experience, and this beautifully-crafted iPad version of the game is easily the best and quickest way to set up a game with a few friends.
In Cut the Rope, your goal is to do whatever it takes to get a lone piece of candy into the gaping maw of an adorable green dinosaur-looking bugger named "Om Nom." The game is broken up into short, single-screen puzzles in which you'll use your fingers to pop bubbles, control cannons, slide around platforms, and (of course) cut some ropes, all with the ultimate goal of flinging the candy from the level's starting point to the awaiting Om Nom. The game's biggest strength is that it sports an intuitive three-star scoring system that encourages players to take on extra challenges within levels, which really adds some replay value to what's already a content-rich game.
This iOS-exclusive entry in the Dead Space saga takes place three years after the events of the original console game. Despite maintaining all the complexity of the series' console entries, the game controls beautifully without resulting to the use of clunky virtual analogue sticks. Simply swiping up and down on your character controls movement, and other actions like aiming and shooting is as simple as swiping and tapping. It's an incredibly beautiful game even by console standards, and fans of 3D action games could not do better than this on the iPad.
Flight Control is one of those games that has become synonymous with iPhone gaming, so it was no surprise to see an HD iPad version ready to go for launch day. The game requires players to think quickly to draw out flight paths for numerous planes to help guide them to a safe landing. Directing planes into one another has disastrous results, so it's important to manage time and space effectively to get a high score. The iPad version features a 3D glasses mode, numerous multiplayer options including split-screen, and even a co-op mode. You won't think it from having played the iPhone version, but Flight Control makes a pretty solid multiplayer tabletop game when playable on the right hardware.
Take Pac-Man, hand him a machine gun, and toss him into a faux-retro rouge-like, and what you'll end up with is something pretty similar to Forget-Me-Not. The swipe-controlled game has you zipping through randomly generated mazes collecting flowers and keys that allow you to delve ever deeper into a high-score chase from another era. There are a bunch of little mechanics like the ability to grind against walls and build up speed or the fact that you can also build up massive point multipliers by collecting flowers in an unbroken chain. It all makes for a game that's deceptively deep and ultimately really addicting. Don't be put off by the '80s arcade art style; it's one of the best new things on the App Store.
Fruit Ninja has undeniable mass appeal; We've seen people from age 2 to 52 play and love this messy game on the iPhone , so the iPad's two-player modes are going to make a lot of families happy. Support for eight-finger multitouch dicing and pretty HD graphics easily make this the best way to take out your anger on nature's juiciest denizens, but the best thing about this release is the continued support from Halfbrick, who always do an excellent job updating the game with free added content. Just admit it: going all kung-fu on some fruit is fun, so if you own an iPad, don't skip out on this HD re-release.
Although it might not be the prettiest game on the App Store, Halcyon is one of my favorite go-to examples of a game that could only work on an iPad. Dozens of musical little arrows zoom towards each other on set paths, and your goal is to get rid of them by drawing lines that connect like-colored arrows to one another. It's an incredibly simple concept, so it's more about fast reflexes than strategy, but that doesn't make it any less fun. If you're into simple games that exploit the line-drawing mechanic from Flight Control in a really interesting way, be sure to add Halcyon to your home screen.
As the poster child for Epic's Unreal Engine 3 technology on iOS devices, Infinity Blade will blow you away with its unbelievable, near-console-quality graphics. The game has since been matched in the graphics department like EA's Dead Space and Firemint's Real Racing 2, but it's worth mentioning that it's also an incredible, Punch-Out style RPG experience worth playing for its merits as a game. The game doesn't offer much in the way in exploration; rather it's more of a series of fights in which your goal is to dodge attacks and quickly strike back using well-aimed swipes with your sword. There are plenty of items and upgrades to be unlocked, and the game has been updated several times since launch with extra content. If you want a game to show off what your iPad is really capable of, this is a great choice.
Remember those barrel levels in the old Donkey Kong Country games? Well, Land-a Panda is essentially that concept fleshed out into an entire game. You're trying to reunite a boy and girl panda, and each stage introduces new barrel types like spinning barrels, sliding barrels, automatically-launching barrels, etc. Like the collectable stars in Cut the Rope, each level of Land-a Panda has three optional coins which you can get if you're brave enough to take extra-difficult secondary routes to the level exit. It's consistently inventive, ridiculously adorable, and a heck of a lot of fun.
Unlike the first-person console version of EA's free-running game, the iPad edition of Mirror's Edge takes place from a side-view perspective. All of the environments are in 3D, and the sense of speed that fans of the original game loved so much is intact. There is a new single-player story to play through, but it's the split-screen head-to-head multiplayer race mode that should get a lot of people excited. We found the story mode to be disappointingly short, but the game offers an experience easily on par with what you'd normally pay $10 for an XBLA game, so it's worth checking out.
The multi-platform indie hit Osmos has received a myriad of awards for its calm, zen-like gameplay, and the new iPad edition matches its PC counterpart in quality. The game's concept is simple: you control a "mote," a planet-like orb with the ability to absorb other motes to gradually increase in size. Touching the screen will cause your mote to eject a bit of its mass in any given direction, giving it the slightest bit of momentum in the opposite direction. Your goal is to absorb as many smaller motes as possible while avoiding ones bigger than yourself, as they'll end your planetary romp in an instant. A fantastic ambient soundtrack makes the game an inherently relaxing experience, and it's one we had trouble putting down.
This classic sequel is widely considered to be an all-time greats in the point-n-click adventure genre. This special edition remake comes packed with extras including high-definition graphics that can be switched on or off at any point, a remastered soundtrack, and audio commentary from creators Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, and Dave Grossman. Fans of the original will appreciate not having to switch between 11 floppy disks, and newcomers will find a funny, endearing tale that could seriously turn them onto adventure games as a whole.
It seems that nearly everybody loves PopCap and the games they make, and Plants Vs. Zombies is no exception to the rule. The game itself is a sort of side-scrolling tower defense game with a funky personality. You'll set up crazy plants who'll spit speeds at incoming zombies of varying types, and you'll have to use strategy to determine exactly what types of plants you'll need to fend off the undead hordes. There isn't too much of a difference between this version and others, although the iPad release does feature an exclusive minigame, "Buttered Popcorn." The game also supports up to 11 simultaneous touch points, which brings nothing but horrific images to mind.
The delightful "Bejeweled-meets-RPG" formula that made the original Puzzle Quest incredibly popular is back with an almost Diablo-esque overworld exploration system, a more complex and interesting battle system, and far more ways to customize your constantly-developing character. Although we weren't very happy with the iPhone version of Puzzle Quest 2 in our review, the iPad version is beautifully crafted, with an interface that was clearly designed with the device in mind. We'd argue that this is the definitive version of Puzzle Quest 2, so if you haven't picked the game up on one of the numerous platforms on which it's readily available, now's your chance.
Although Id's highly-anticipated FPS has yet to be released on consoles, Rage HD has been shaking things up on the iPad for quite some time now. This gorgeous-looking on-rails shooter sees you participating in a brutal game show/shooting gallery in which you're trying to survive a gauntlet of mutants while also shooting randomly placed targets that earn you extra points. The game is all about ammo management, well-timed dodges, and well-placed headshots. It relies a little too heavily on virtual buttons to be called elegant in its design, but offers a lot of fun nonetheless.
Racing on iOS devices just got a heck of a lot better with Real Racing 2, the console-quality sequel to the first truly great racing simulator on the App Store. The game takes cues from heavy hitters like Forza and Gran Turismo, offering a realistic racing experience complete with 16-car races, fantastic online multiplayer integration, and a career mode that takes you through beautifully-rendered versions of some of the biggest racetracks in the world. The game controls like a dream, and even people who are new to racing sims will have an easy time getting into the action thanks to user-friendly options like auto-braking. If you're after a solid racing title for your favorite super-sized touchscreen device, there is no substitute for Real Racing 2.
Soosiz for iPhone set a precendent for platformers on iOS devices that has still not yet been surpassed, and this HD edition delivers that exact experience to the iPad's bigger screen. The simple three button controls (left and right directional movement buttons and a jump button) and Mario Galaxy-inspired gameplay makes this the best side-scroller on the App Store. Whether you're blazing through blue coin levels or fighting enormous bosses on tiny worlds, Soosiz delivers all the charm and level of quality you've come to expect from a Nintendo title.
We loved Sparkle on the iPhone (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/spark...354123737?mt=8), and although the controls worked extremely well on that small screen, they're even better on the iPad. For the uninitiated, Sparkle is more or less a clone of PopCap's Zuma; Long strings of multicolored orbs snake their way along a set path, and you'll have to use a cannon to launch your own orbs into the mix. By matching orbs in sets of three, you'll remove them from the play field and prevent the string of orbs from reaching the end of the path. With some fun power-ups and a lengthy campaign mode, it's a game that's hard to put down, and we've put a ridiculous number of hours into it.
This Zelda-inspired point-and-click adventure is one of the most impressive iPad-only games available now. As a female warrior known only as "the Scythian," you and your dog companion are tasked with restoring peace to a small but lush village and its few inhabitants. Dialogue is cleverly-written, and despite the somewhat cliched nature of the story, something about the game sucks you in––perhaps because of the soundtrack, which almost makes the game worth the price by itself. The action is a little slow-paced (like the classic adventure games it's modeled after), but the incredible audio-visual experience the game is packaged in makes it an experience you'll want to savor.
Originally called Super Stick Golf, this game's developer had to change the name after a controversial trademark claim on the word "stick." Super Stickman Golf is technically a golf game, although it's in no way targeted to fans of realistic golfing simulators. Instead, this is more like a fantastic 2D platformer which happens to use golf as a backdrop. You'll use power-ups like the sticky ball, air brake, and ice ball as you compete either in one of several single player campaigns or the online multiplayer mode, which was recently added in an update. It's goofy and surprisingly challenging, and we wouldn't hesitate to call it the best puzzle-platforming game on the iPad.
"Tetris for iPad," perhaps the most self explanatory name for a game ever. Not that that's a bad thing. EA might be going for the record of "most platforms one game has appeared on" but that doesn't change the fact that Tetris remains to be one of the most satisfying classic puzzle games ever created. And the iPad's large screen also lends itself to the game, making it easier than ever to guide blocks into empty spaces at high speed. Make sure you've got a comfortable place to sit while playing this edition of the Russian classic, because we've found that otherwise it can be a real strain on the wrists.
If there's one thing that Netherlands-based developers Two Tribes know how to do, it's make Toki Tori games. Ever since the release of the first Toki Tori game for Game Boy Color, these indie devs have been pumping out ports and remakes for just about every game platform known to man. That's not to say that this is a bad thing; no, Toki Tori is an absolutely fantastic 2D puzzle game, and it's recently-released iPad port may be the best version yet. For the uninitiated, Toki Tori sees you as an adorable yellow penguin waddling around colorful 2D maps in search of eggs. You have tools like bridges and an ice gun to neutralize enemies at your disposal, and often you'll have to do lots of pre-game planning to successfully make it through a map. If you haven't already bought this game for four other platforms, this is your chance.
Ah, Words With Friends. The asynchronous online Scrabble clone has become more ubiquitous than ever since its release on Android devices earlier this year, and the inclusion of cross-platform play in every version (that includes iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and every Android device known to man) means that there's a great chance that you can get a good game of WWF going with a friend. It's an incredibly engaging way to stay in touch with friends and family, even if you use it as a chance to lay down a lexical smackdown on loved ones.
2D Boy's oft-pirated physics puzzler impressed critics and delighted gamers when it debuted on the PC and WiiWare in 2008, so its release on the oh-so-suitable iPad made many an Apple fan squeal with joy. The game revolves around the concept of building web-like constructions out of little blots of "goo," living creatures who stretch and squirm to form bridges, towers, and gigantic balls at your command. Half the fun lies in discovery the limits of the game's unique physics system, and you'll constantly be introduced to new types of goo and other mechanics that keep you thinking. World of Goo plays like it was always meant for the iPad, easily earning it a spot on this list.

هذي وبسIt seems that nearly everybody loves PopCap and the games they make, and Plants Vs. Zombies is no exception to the rule. The game itself is a sort of side-scrolling tower defense game with a funky personality. You'll set up crazy plants who'll spit speeds at incoming zombies of varying types, and you'll have to use strategy to determine exactly what types of plants you'll need to fend off the undead hordes. There isn't too much of a difference between this version and others, although the iPad release does feature an exclusive minigame, "Buttered Popcorn." The game also supports up to 11 simultaneous touch points, which brings nothing but horrific images to mind. لعبة خطيرة

Need help with power brakes and P2187
Hello, I am new here and just purchased a 2004 X5 4.4 I love the car and it looks like new. I got it cheap from a wholesaler because it has a few issues I am working through. A couple of days ago, the check engine light came on with P2187 (left bank lean) and at the same time the brakes got scary. The brakes at first feel fine but lose power assist before coming to a complete stop which means you really have to stand on the pedal to get it to come to a complete stop. I am checking out the obvious but wanted to see if anyone has ever experienced this and what the fault was. Thank you!
Sounds like you have a vacuum problem at the intake manifold or booster. Check all the hoses for cracks.
Hi there, did You solve the problem changing the pump, or did You change the booster aswell??? Many thanks

We are happy to report that Marty is doing just fine. Marty and his foster mother have been taking long walks in the evening which he seems to enjoy. He started a new habit – howling! It is very funny to hear Marty howl like a hound dog. Often when his foster brother, dog Rolfie, barks then Marty starts to howl. Their foster mother wants to capture them barking and howling on video so that she can submit it to the show, America's Funniest Home Videos. She is sure she'll have a good chance of winning! All is well in the house and Marty is happy and enjoying life.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Blair Stover notes that an increasingly computerized automobile has ushered in a new variety of car thief. While on board computers have made many car monitoring tasks easier, the electronic nature of modern vehicles has also facilitated high tech auto theft. Blair Stover sheds lights on hackers cracking into electronic systems to easily unlock car doors or perform foul play that includes disabling the braking system altogether.
The electronic systems found in new cars communicate mostly on open computer networks. While this technology helps control gas mileage and other subtleties, concerns over the hijacking of acceleration and crash prep systems have auto makers scrambling to narrow cyber security gaps, according to reports from Blair Stover.
He points to the consulting work of hacker extraordinaire Charlie Miller and his partner Chris Velasek as part of the efforts to bolster car safety in an electronic age. The pair is helping car manufacturers better understand the implications of a computer operated automobile.
To fund their research, Miller and Velasek received a grant from the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA). Blair Stoverpoints to the grant as indicative of the priority that car makers and agencies are placing on addressing existing gaps in network security.
As consultants, the duo now works with auto engineers to hack into car computers for identifying shortcomings and designing solutions. Their work has shown startling examples of hackers being able to jerk steering wheels at high speeds or clone remote keyless entry systems with little difficulty.
Mounting concerns over the vulnerability of on board diagnostics are affirmed in a July 8, 2012 article from privacy site Network World. The article cites the relative ease with which a security consultant was able to hack into the alarm system of a luxury BMW. A simple text message was then sent to the car's on board computer that started the vehicle. Perhaps even more alarming was the mere 3 minutes that elapsed to complete the process.
The role of on board computers in automobiles will continue to grow unabated. Recent advancements such as hands free parallel parking and alerts to potential accident risks may become largely standard in the near future. Blair Stover notes that a freshly minted industry of car security experts will rise accordingly.
