The Oregon Department of Justice leads law enforcement sweep, arresting 21 parents with outstanding arrest warrants for unpaid child support
Oregon Attorney General John Kroger today announced a successful statewide sweep of delinquent parents who have the financial ability to make court-ordered child support payments but have intentionally refused to do so.
"Being a single parent is the toughest job in the world," Attorney General Kroger said. "This arrest sweep sends a strong message: parents must take responsibility for their kids. I want to thank our law enforcement partners for their help in this important law enforcement operation."
The sweep targeted the most egregious cases of parents who are able but unwilling to pay court-ordered child support. The 21 parents arrested Wednesday owed a total of $531,206 in delinquent child support.
The enforcement action highlights the Child Support Program's commitment to improving child support collections as part of August's "Child Support Awareness Month." The mission of the Division of Child Support (DCS) is to enhance the well-being of children by providing child support services to families. Oregon's Child Support Program collected $344 million in child support in 2008 for nearly 250,000 Oregon children. Most child support payments are made voluntarily by parents.
"These arrests underscore the importance society places on our obligations to our children," said DCS Director Jean Fogarty. "You can't go to jail for failing to make your car payment but you can go to jail for failing to pay your child support. The sad truth is that some parents don't prioritize their children until we force them to do so. The good news is that an arrest can be a wake up call for some people who do learn how to become responsible parents."
The sweep was conducted by a Department of Justice directed task force that included district attorneys and law enforcement agencies across the state. All of the arrestees are the subjects of contempt complaints for willful failure to pay court-ordered child support and face maximum sentences of up to six months in jail plus full payment of their overdue obligations to their children. Authorities are still actively pursuing other delinquents for whom arrest warrants or summonses were issued as part of enforcement action.
Nearly 30 law enforcement agencies around Oregon participated in Wednesday's sweep.
While the Child Support Program continues to pursue delinquent parents, it also is committed to working with parents who want to support their children. For example, the Department of Justice gained legislative approval in 2009 to temporarily modify child support orders for parents who are out of work as a result of the current recession and unable to pay.
The Child Support Taskforce participants included: the Oregon Department of Justice, Marion County District Attorney's Office, Multnomah County District Attorney's Office, Washington County District Attorney's Office, Clackamas County District Attorney's Office, Union County District Attorney's Office and Yamhill County District Attorney's Office.
Cooperating law enforcement agencies in Wednesday's sweep included: Oregon State Police (coordinated and led taskforces in Marion, Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington Counties), Oregon Department of Justice Criminal Division, Mount Angel Police Department, Keizer Police Department, Salem Police Department, Aumsville Police Department, Silverton Police Department, Stayton Police Department, Woodburn Police Department, Eugene Police Department, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, Hood River County Sheriff's Office, Florence Police Department, Coos County Sheriff's Office, Douglas County Sheriff's Office, Crook County Sheriff's Office, Linn County Sheriff's Office, Yamhill County Sheriff's Office, Benton County Sheriff's Office, Deschutes County Sheriff's Office, Lane County Sheriff's Office, Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, Polk County Sheriff's Office, Baker County Sheriff's Office, Union County Sheriff's Office, U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force – Portland, Washington County Sheriff's Office, Multnomah County Sheriff's Office and the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
Attorney General John Kroger leads the Oregon Department of Justice. The Department's mission is to fight crime and fraud, protect the environment, improve child welfare, and defend the rights of all Oregonians.

Re: The story of the game:
"Well the abbreviated version is they were really good and we weren't – which is a bad combination when you're playing a team of that talent level. I think they're hitting their stride a little bit as I've watched them over the last couple of weeks. It's a different team than I watched on film in January that we were getting ready to play, even though they had come off of some of those wins on the East I thought that their depth on their bench probably wasn't quite as good as it is now. And they're really rolling and playing at a high level. Sometimes when you blow a team out, you don't play as well the next game, whereas you hit a last-second shot you kind of ride the wave. And they just looked like they were going to ride that wave all the way through tonight, right out of the gate. And we didn't match that. It was a struggle for us; they got into us, they were more aggressive, they were louder, they were better every which way. I'd like to find something that I could say we were better in, but there wasn't anything."
Re: If the difference was effort-related:
"Well, I did not think our energy was an A+. Let's put it that way. But I thought that they were, obviously, they have excellent skilled basketball players. And, you know, what hurt us more than maybe anything were the turnovers in the first half that led to the dunks that get those guys going. And once you get a team a couple of easy baskets that has that kind of talent, it's downhill from there because those guys start seeing the ball go in the hole, the hole gets bigger and bigger and bigger, and then you're in trouble. So I didn't think our effort was great; but I've always kind of – after I've said that before, I'll go back and watch the film and I kind of kick myself if I generalize too much because, you know, out of 10 guys you probably had a few or more than a few that was really good. So I hate to generalize like that, but we didn't have a great performance by our basketball team tonight, obviously."
Re: The silver lining of his younger players getting minutes:
"It's good. I mean, I think (Chris) Babb is – one of the things about Babb that I think you notice is he's physically tough. So he comes down with some traffic rebounds and the other thing is they tried to iso him with Harrison Barnes, they tried to iso him I believe with Klay (Thompson). I'm not sure if that's the case, but bottom line is he held his own, held his ground, made them take really hard shots. Tried to go at them right when he came in the game and made them miss. I think both times they iso'd. So I think he's a really good defender; when he makes shots, obviously that increases his abilities on the court, and he's a good shooter. So you know it's funny, I think some guys can put up heaps and heaps of numbers in college or in the D-League and it doesn't translate, and other guys put up reasonable numbers like he has, and it probably translates because most of his shots are the shots that he'd get here that he's taking there."
Re: Kelly Olynyk's performance:
"I wasn't surprised. First of all, a lot of them (19 points) came late in the game when the game was out of reach, so it's hard to really know that that would've been the case had it been a tight game. But everything seems to run very fluidly when he's in the game, whether it be – I think he's still learning and growing on the defensive end of the floor and the offensive end of the floor, but he's getting a little more aggressive offensively, shooting the ball, which is good, and he's really starting to – and we talked about this – playing with other guys, especially in the pick and rolls."/>/>/>
Brandon Bass
Re: What the Warriors did to win the game:
"I thought they got out and ran. They went out and made some shots and we turned the ball over. They got some easy baskets and ended up getting the win tonight."
Re: What attributed to the large amount of Boston turnovers:
"I've got to watch the film. I really cannot put my finger on it right now. We turned the ball over and we have to be better on Friday, and I hope we get the win on Friday."/>
Jeff Green
Re: If it's hard to keep a "never-say-die" mentality:
"It's our pride, we don't want to keep embarrassing ourselves and that is the mentality we are going to have. I don't think this group, you know, wants to continue to have games like this. We just got to keep fighting and just do the best we can to finish off."
Re: Giving his shoes to Louis Corbett (a youth who is losing his sight and wished to see a Celtics game before losing his vision):
"It's tough to meet a kid going through what he is going through. Overall sprit, really, despite of the game he put a smile on my face because he is going through something that is going to be with him for life. Going blind with the surgery he is going to have, his sprit, he is smiling and he is enjoying life. we can get down over the little things and then you have a kid who is about to have a surgery in a couple of weeks who is going to be blind and right now he is enjoying a day at a time. Sometimes it puts life in perspective when I, myself is going through something that is not as big and he is sitting there smiling, so for me I look up to kids like that. Even though he is younger than me he is inspires me to get better each day. I just wish the best for him and I'll pray for him everyday."/>

Re: Ending the Warriors' road trip on a high note:
"I thought we did a great job against a team that, in all honesty, we are better than. It was a type of game where you can overlook them. They compete, they are well-coached but fortunately we came in here and took care of business, we took care of the basketball, we defended again at a high level and I thought our bench was very good once again. A big-time win for us and now it's about going home and taking care of business at home."
Re: If the last two wins punctuate the road trip:
"I read where if we lost this game then that takes away (the win) in Indiana. No, you cannot forget how tough it is to win games in this league and you can look and say this is one you should win. We're looking at games right now where teams are getting drilled. Fortunately we did not fall in love with what we did in Indy and we came in and we took care of business."
Re: Golden State's defense on the road:
"Yes again, for the 22nd time we've held a team under 40 percent. That's getting it done defensively and that's collectively getting it done. That's what allows us to be an effective road team because the pride we take on the defensive end and the habits that we've established."
Re: The Warriors' ability to get to the rim tonight:
"I thought they did a great job of attacking on the offensive end, not settling. We played the first time in a while, we've done it in spurts, but we played at the pace we wanted to play at."
Re: If Rajon Rondo's presence affected his game plan:
"I mean Rondo's a great player and he's certainly a guy that you got to highlight when putting together a game plan, but fortunately for us we've got different looks to throw at him, we got different individuals that can defend him and we took care of business."/>/>/>/>
Klay Thompson
Re: His team not letting up:
"Yeah, this win validates last night and we wanted to finish strong and we had a lot of reasons not to, as far as back-to-back playing a hard fought game last night, but we responded the best way we could. Especially on the defensive end."
Re: Heading home after a winning road trip:
"It was huge, especially coming into these (last) twenty games. If you want to climb up the rankings in the playoff seeding, you have to treat every game like it's your last. The West is a dogfight and going into Atlanta feels great."/>
David Lee
Re: Having a good road trip:
"Yeah no question, we were sitting at 2-2 after the Toronto loss, which is one we wanted back. We knew we had two games left against Indiana, one of the best home teams, and also against Boston, who has been playing people really tough in this building, so we were lucky to get these two and I'm very happy for our team for putting up two great wins."
Re: Starting the game strong:
"It was big for us. The starters really wanted to come out and set the tone tonight and not give the Celtics team any life. They're a team that if they can gain confidence early it can be a tough team. Guys like Jeff Green and (Brandon) Bass can really get going, we were able to keep them from doing that."/>

So I was playing around on EBAY last night and found this for sale.
Now I have no intention of buying this item and the price seems rediculous anyway.
But how hard could it be to make one?
For those of us without a dog this could be a viable alternative. Yes I have used a fishing lure before but this seems like iike it is simpler and less likely to snag up on a missed cast.
A chunk of wood dowel tapered on the end. A piece of coat hanger or tig welding wire. A screw in eyelet.
I make my own decoy weights fishing weights and jigs so if needed drilling a hole and adding lead where needed might help and is easy to do.
It might also be useful if the area your hunting is closed to fishing or somthing like that as it is obviously not a fishing lure.
Any thoughts?

Thanks, Jim, for sending me this cartridge. I really helps to get a chance to trial these things directly.
The 304 is very smooth but without the verve of the 103 or 160. The top end is very present and some events shoot out at you.
Starting with Ricky Lee Jones ~ Pirates, the drums sounded nice with a sound of skin. Attention getting. Her voice was followed easily by the 304, not as easily done on the 160, and then 304 didn't miss a beat. Can't remember how it sounded with the 103 but I wasn't paying that type of attention with the 103. BUT by the third song it was tiring. It became bloodless.
Maybe I was wrong so I put on Benny Carter ~ Additions to Further Definitions. That is a very sweet record and the 304 didn't capture the soiund nor the spirit. the sound was too light. The 103 brought the weight of the event previously but the 304 couldn't swing it.
In comparison the 103 was weighty and toe tapping but utlimately, for me, too heavy and missed out on excitement factor. The 304 was bloodless, events did not hold together like the 103 did. There is something scattered about the 304. I kept listening 'at' it. I kept the 304 on the arm for days trying to tweek it into a better sound, it had drawinging power. The 304 had to come off after one side and less than one song.
Now with the 160 back on and it can be seen how grainy it is in comparison to the 304 but who cares? When I put Benny Carter back on it was like "Yeah, that's it!" It swung.
I think that the 160 is a very 'musical' cartridge, now. Detailed and I thought it was smooth until I heard the 304. (I can do without the detail that the 304 brought out because who could care if the spirit is not there?) It renders everything with enough weight and agility and with an eveness of range. It has a big sound and dynamic but it is not congested or peaky. It is thin in comparison to the 103, but airy and open in a way that the 103 was not. It doesn't throw things out at you like the 304 and it is not laid back like the 103. It is the baby bear mush.
When I read descriptions of the Dyna 20X it sounds a lot like the 160 but better... so maybe that's the next cart. I will keep looking, but not for a while. I think I can be happy with this 160 for years.
Big thanks again, Jim. The loan made me appreciate what I already have.
Follow Ups:
i dunno omalley--
judging by the aforementioned descriptions of what y' like-- that dyna might sound WAY too reedy and thin for ya... it's got those crazy nuances.. but it seemed to me, overly hi rez and not too fleshy.. very much an xray cart.. black & white.
granted.. i like 'em really gooey.. but the 20x was just not my flavor at all.. coulda been loaded funny though- that i don't know- heard it at my local shop, and i believe they were giving it a go on an AN 'table.
obviously- yer mileage may vary..
The OMalley
Is it true that you are running a 0.18mV output cartridge into
a souped-up MM phonostage with only 50dB of gain?
DL-304 needs lots more. DL-103 too, but less so.
I fondly remember a stock GyroDec with RB-300 and DL-304 into a Michell ISO with 65dB gain. One of the best LP sounds I've heard at that price point.
I am using the Denon AU300LC sut going into the Bugle w/ combined 70dB gain. Loading might be high for the 304, though, at 470ohms.
There is no accounting for taste.
I think you've hit the proverbial nail on the head, O'Malley. 470 Ohms is WAY high for the 304. 47 Ohms would be far more suitable. Even 100 would be much better.
that if I load the cart down i will lose too much gain. ... Now you've done it!! Damn.
Now I have to get some resistors and the connectors and give it a shot. I can tell you that there is no charm in the purstuit. The capture is the only things that means anything.
My preamp has a set of switches that by whick I can change the load.
We need to sort this out. I am glad that I have a removable arm on my III.
thanks. ok, I will get the resistors, etc. My Bugle is not switchable on the fly. I have to manually load those resistors via RCAs 'tween SUT & Bugle.
"hat if I load the cart down i will lose too much gain. ."
How that? The generator impedance of the 304 is low enough to allow driving 100 Ohms straight.
i misinterpreted some esoteric loading stuff that someone told me. I will load it at 100ohms.
That we can help each other get to where we want to be, without making huge monitary mistakes....
i know where some of my money went. - just joking.
I do know where some of your money went ;=)
I have been comparing my two idlers against my two belt drives.....and in classical the ROK N-33H is a clear winner.
For Rock and Roll I prefer the Idlers.
I am set to receive a tranformer isolation unit soon. I hope this cures some of the speed inaccuracy I hear in my tables. I miss the Kenwood and Technics DD in terms of their speed accuracy.
Well, I am not getting rid of my NAD. I have to cut out a small bit of the armboard to accomodate the rb250. that will be ok because i can build it back up for the sme.
maybe i will fetch the hardware this weekend ...
that with the money you saved can be spent on more LP's.
More LPs is definitely what I need.
It was a valuable experience, doing that evaluation. The one nervy part was putting those cartridges on and off and on and off.. what a tedious bunch of nervous activity. Those screws are small.
Half of it is the satisfaction of knowing I don't have to take any cartridges on and off again. ;-)

Hedge Fund Manager Paulson made $3700 Million in 2007 and $5000 Million in 2010.He had bet om Mortgage Defaults. AIG covered some of his large bets. They lost. We bailed them outof gambling losses. His Tax Rate 15%. Union workers pay 28% Tax Rate. Wall Street is involved in high speed gambling. The type that almost put us in a Great Depression.When will Congress show courage and tax such gambling activities. UK has taxed them for decades with no ill effect. We need the revenue. Better to do that than cut entitlements. A few rich are involved versus 50 million. Will we ever learn?
That was an excellent depiction of where we stand today politically between the two parties…and those that subscribe to each of them. Pretty astute.
I wonder why it is that there can't be a blend between the two beliefs. It shouldn't be an "either/or" kind of thing for us in America. There just HAS to be a way for the two belief systems to come together. I mean, I am pretty damn conservative and KNOW that we're in the shape we're in fiscally in this country NOT because we don't tax the rich enough but because we spend just absoutely too much. I'm pretty sure most democrats that AREN'T receiving government assistance from one source or another believes this as well. I also believe that we have an enormous amount of tax loopholes that have been created along the way by our more wealthy legislators and their backers that should be done away with…and, I'm pretty sure most republicans that AREN'T able to take advantage of these loopholes believes this as well. I'd bet that if you were to put it to a vote, we "regular" folks down here in mainstream America would be all for reducing our excessive spending by the fed…getting waste and abuses out of our spending…and would also be for doing away with all of those "richie" tax loopholes INCLUDING being able to put money in areas outside the country to avoid taxes on money they made here in the U.S.
But, the two sides go just WAY too far when they start to regulate and to control and enact policy. They try to go to the extreme that is mostly something that helps the very few…the supporters of their particular party.
Not sure how we can change it…but, I'm betting both Gary and Carter here agree with what I've just said. Problem is…neither of them know what to do about it either and so, just accept what we have, what we've always done and try to change that for the betterment of their own party and beliefs.
I'm not all that "religious"….but, sometimes I think the only thing that will save our country now is Divine Intervention.

Tomorrow, Jan. 15, Pacific Gas and Electric Company will officially apply to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for further reductions to required water releases from Lake Pillsbury and Van Arsdale Reservoir, as well as extensions to the timeframe of the variance.
The power company received its first variance of release requirements on Dec. 12, 2013 because of extremely low water conditions in Lake Pillsbury in the upper Eel River, but only to the end of January, with provision for review and application for an extension, including a public comment period.
The 30-day comment period began in mid-December and ends this Thursday, Jan. 16.
Early in December, with historic low rainfall in Northern California and no relief in sight, the water level in Lake Pillsbury was dropping at the rate of 250 acre-feet a day (an acre-foot is equal to approximately 326,000 gallons) - until FERC approved the variance on Dec. 12, PG&E environmental scientist Paul Kubicek told the Redwood Times in a phone interview.
Up to that time PG&E was required to release water from Scott Dam at Lake Pillsbury into the Eel River at 100 cubic feet per second (cfs). Twelve miles downstream, at Cape Horn Dam below the smaller Van Arsdale Reservoir, PG&E was required to divert enough water to operate its hydroelectric plant in Potter Valley and release a flow of 35 cfs into the East Branch of the Russian River.
PG&E also was required to release at least 100 cfs into the Eel River below Cape Horn Dam.
According to the Reasonable and Prudent Alternative (RPA), a 2004 agreement among several key stakeholders to set protocols for water releases under varying conditions, 2013 was a "normal" water year, probably because of heavy rain and snowfall in December, 2012.
PG&E asked FERC for a variance to reduce minimum releases to those allowed in a "critically dry" year: 20 cfs from Scott Damn, 5 cfs to the East Branch Russian River, and 25 cfs to the Eel River below Cape Horn Dam.
But even with these greatly reduced releases, Lake Pillsbury has been dropping at the rate of 50 acre-feet a day, Kubicek said, so PG&E is hoping to further lower the minimum releases in the hope of stabilizing the water level in the lake.
A number of tributaries continue to feed water into Lake Pillsbury but they, too, are shrinking from lack of precipitation.
"Our intent is to conserve critical resources for beneficial use over the long term," said Kubicek.
"The licensee [PG&E] states that it can no longer sustain the minimum flow requirements and needs to reduce flow releases to conserve water in Lake Pillsbury, provide for the continued release of water for the long-term protection of chinook salmon and steelhead, and to eliminate the risk of vertical bed collapse in the Lake Pillsbury reservoir," states FERC's Order Granting Temporary Variance of Minimum Flow Requirements.
Asked about "vertical bed collapse," Kubicek explained that erosion in the upper Eel has deposited a heavy layer of sediment on the bed of Lake Pillsbury. The water level has now dropped so far that it is cutting into the sediment bed.
PG&E staff at Lake Pillsbury have observed "sloughing," sediment falling into the water as it flows toward the outlet. Sediment that passes through the dam into the Eel River can leave a fine silt deposit on the salmon nests, or redds, reducing the chances of hatching and survival of the fry.
Salmon have spawned and redds have been observed in the deepest parts of the river, called thalwegs, below both Scott and Van Arsdale dams. "Project biologists believe that the majority of early salmon redds would remain within the wetted channel..." at the reduced flow amounts, PG&E stated in its request for variance.
Power production at PG&E's hydroelectric plant in Potter Valley has been limited by reduction in the amount of water. "We're taking a small hit but we have no other choice," Kubicek said.
PG&E also has an agreement with the Potter Valley Irrigation District (PVID) that allows PVID to withdraw water from the East Branch of the Russian River below the hydroelectric plant, according to protocols also established by the RPA.
In a normal winter, PVID can use up to 5 cfs, but they have agreed to reduce that amount to 2 cfs, Kubicek said.
In addition to the allocation to PVID, PG&E is required to release enough water to the East Branch Russian River for fisheries as required by the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS), and a "buffer" amount to account for temporary fluctuations in daily flow due to natural conditions or problems with infrastructure at the hydroelectric plant.
Below Potter Valley, the East Branch flows into Lake Mendocino, a reservoir behind Coyote Dam that is owned and managed by the Army Corps of Engineers. From there water is released into the main stem Russian River.
PG&E consulted with several agencies, including NMFS, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and the Round Valley Indian Tribes of Covelo, to determine acceptable minimum flows in their application.
The Round Valley Tribes, major participants in drafting the RPA, agreed to support PG&E's request in an email dated Dec. 6, 2013, stating, "We support the reduction now to preserve water in Pillsbury that will be released over coming weeks to ensure enough of a wet river channel that spawners and redds have a decent chance of survival.
"We take exception to the proposed flow variance to the extent that it authorizes any releases at all to the Russian River. Given the critically dry circumstances combined with active spawning in the Eel River by chinook salmon, diversions in any amount from the Eel River during this period will only increase the risks to the fisheries and cannot, therefore, be justified."
In the variance order, FERC responded, "the Tribes' petition for a cessation of flow releases to the East Branch Russian River altogether is not prudent, given the existing fishery and the consumptive water uses downstream."
"We're trying to balance all the issues," Kubicek said.
In the most extreme circumstances, if the level of Lake Pillsbury dropped so low none of the release protocol scenarios could be maintained, "We would have to go to a flow-through system," Kubicek said. "How much [water] goes where - I can't say."
FERC will accept comments on PG&E's current request for an extension of the variance and further reductions through Thursday, Jan. 16. The agency prefers emailed comments. The public notice, dated Dec. 16, 2013, advises the public to submit "brief comments up to 6,000 characters, without prior registration," using the eComment system at http://ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp.
To make longer statements, commenters must be registered at FERC's eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp.
For assistance, FERC suggests calling 866-208-3676 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Alternatively, go to www.wildcalifornia.org, the Environmental Protection Information Center (EPIC) website, and click on the Action Alert dated Dec. 19, 2013. Instructions for making comments can be found at the end of the article, which also includes a summary of events.
The website states: "EPIC is gravely concerned about the precedent being established by this management decision. Though there are several elements of the justification for this decision that could support a temporary reduction of releases below the agreed upon Reasonable and Prudent Alternative of 100 cfs for this time of year, we are very concerned about the manner in which this decision was made, as well as the ramifications of a severely reduced flow regime on the health of aquatic systems in the Eel River."

Dolman Updated
Interweave SKU: EP1152
From the magazine:
This easy-fit pullover is worked in four almost identical sections. The sleeves are knitted as extensions of the front and back pieces and are seamed along the top from neck to cuff. Lynn Gates suggests other design possibilities: work each section in a different pattern stitch or different color. In this sweater, inside-out seams quietly call attention to the sweater's construction. A simple garter stitch collar finishes the neck. Worked in a wool-cotton-silk blend, the dolman shape drapes becomingly and is soft and comfortable to wear.
Finished Size: 39 (43, 46, 50, 53)" (99 (109, 117, 127, 134.5) cm) bust/chest circumference. Sweater shown measures 46" (117 cm).

There is a sense in which I, for my part, am not concerned about the terminology with regard to sealing with the Spirit or baptism with the Spirit. To me it is very regrettable that many are so much concerned about the terminology, and especially about the word baptism, that they fail to face the real question. That question is, Do we know that we have been sealed with the Holy Spirit? The question that should be uppermost in our minds is not the question of terminology but the question of whether we have the Spirit of adoption, whether we really are crying Abba, Father from the depths of our hearts. Terminology has its place and it is important that we should have ideas clearly in our minds; but it is the experience itself that matters most. So we continue with our description of this blessing in order to bring truth out yet more clearly.
He then reminds us of several things which result from what he calls the sealing of the Spirit:
The first result . . . is the immediate, direct, blessed assurance that we are the children of God, "heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. That is what the Apostle is concerned about chiefly here . . . [Paul] is writing about an inheritance which Jews and Gentiles have received together in Christ.
Second, in Romans 5:5 we read: Experience worketh hope, and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given to us.
Note the expression, "the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts. It is comparable to the term used in the second chapter of Acts about the Holy Ghost being poured forth. It is the same idea exactly; not something vague and indefinite, but the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts so that we are filled to overflowing with this love of God. The sealing of the Spirit leads to that shedding abroad of God's love in our hearts.
The third result of the sealing is found in 1 Peter 1:8:
The relationship of these people to the Lord Jesus Christ is that they love Him and rejoice in Him with joy unspeakable and full of glory.
The Doctor now addresses the question of spiritual gifts. His comments will be uncomfortable both to the typical charismatic and to the typical cessationist. Rather than pointing out the areas where I agree and disagree with the Doctor in this post, I have decided to simply let him speak for himself:
Every time a person is sealed with the Spirit, is he given some of these particular gifts?
. . . it is clear from the second chapter of the book of Acts that those who were at that time baptized by the Spirit received certain gifts; they spoke with other tongues, and there were clearly other manifestations. It is clear that on the day of Pentecost and subsequently, this sealing with the Spirit was accompanied by gifts. This has emerged in the various Scriptures which we have examined. So it is right that the question should be asked as to whether it therefore follows that, every time a person is sealed with the Spirit, of necessity he has some of these particular gifts. Fortunately we are given an answer to that question [in 1 Cor. 12] where the teaching is that the Holy Spirit is the Lord of these gifts, and that He dispenses them and distributes them as He sees fit. To this man He gives one gift, to that man another gift. They do not all have the same gifts, they do not all have any one particular gift. Paul asks the question Do all speak in tongues ? Do all interpret ? Do all work miracles ? And clearly they do not. There are many gifts, and the Apostle gives a list of them wisdom, "helps, "understanding, and so on.
There was trouble in the church of Corinth because of this, for the whole church of Corinth had become divided into groups and factions over the possession of particular gifts. Some were more spectacular than others, and the men who had the spectacular gifts despised those with the lesser ones. So Paul gives his teaching concerning the church as a body ; but his main emphasis is that the bestowal of gifts is the prerogative of the Holy Ghost. He can give gifts, He can withhold gifts, as He chooses and as He pleases.
It is interesting to observe that when we read the history of the Christian Church, and especially in terms of this doctrine of the sealing with the Holy Ghost, we find that many of these gifts given at the beginning do not seem to have been given in subsequent ages of the Christian Church. This becomes quite clear as we recall the experiences of the great men to whom we have referred, and who lived in different centuries and places and who were so varied in their natural gifts. Not one of them ever spoke with tongues ; but they had other striking gifts. Some had the gift of understanding, others the gift of teaching. Wesley had his amazing gift of administration, and organization. But none of them seems to have had the gift of miracles. But they clearly had the sealing with the Spirit.
So it is important that we should differentiate between the sealing itself and the gifts that may or may not accompany it. The central truth concerning the sealing with the Spirit is that it seals the inheritance to us, that it gives the assurance of sonship, and the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba, Father. Unfortunately many have become confused over this question of the sealing because of their confusion about the whole question of gifts. Many are even afraid to consider it merely because they know people who claim t
o have had this sealing with the Spirit, but who insist upon some particular gift as evidence. But Scripture . . . does not give us the right to postulate any particular gifts in connection with the sealing of the Spirit. There may be gifts, there may not be gifts . . . Therefore, I do not ask whether you have spoken in tongues or not; what I ask once more is whether the love of God has been shed abroad in your heart? Are you rejoicing in Jesus Christ with a joy unspeakable and full of glory ?
What is the relationship of the conversion experience to this sealing with the Spirit?
Being justified by faith we have peace with God (Romans 5:1). Now what is the difference, someone may ask, between that and the sealing with the Spirit? . . . When a man has this rest of justification he knows that his sins are forgiven, and he is given a sense of peace and quiet. Is that therefore not the same thing? The answer is that the sealing with the Spirit goes well beyond what is experienced at conversion.
. . . this is God, if I may so express it, endearing us and showering His love upon us, overwhelming us . . . There is always an overwhelming element . . . Such is the difference between the two experiences.
What is the relationship of sanctification to the sealing with the Spirit?
Lloyd-Jones compares the relationship between sealing and sanctification to the relationship between rain showers and sunshine to a seed that's been planted in the ground. Weeks of cold, dry weather pass without any evidence of growth. But when rain finally falls, followed by a burst of warm sunshine, the seed sprouts. From the moment the seed was sowed, the process of growth had begun. In the same way, the moment a man is born again, the process of sanctification has begun.
Sanctification is not an experience to be received, it is the working out of the life of God in the soul, and it starts from the moment of re-birth. This must be so, because you cannot have the life of God in you without the activity of that life. But while that is true, the process may appear to be quiescent for some time. But then this blessed experience of sealing is given, and like the shower and the sunshine on the earth it has a marked effect upon one's sanctification. It is not sanctification, but it has an inevitable effect upon it. The rain and the shower do not contain life; the life is in the seed; but the rain and sunshine greatly promote and stimulate the growth of the seed; similarly with this experience.
Is it correct to say that we have not been sealed with the Spirit until we have had some overwhelming experience?
The answer is that . . . the experience itself is unmistakable, but the intensity varies even as the intensity of any experience varies . . . it is always certain and unmistakable; there is no question about that! If you have to persuade yourself concerning it, you do not know it. It is of the essence of sealing that it is unmistakable when it is given, for it is God's action.
What is the place of emotion in this experience?
Modern Christians seem to be more frightened of emotion than of anything else. This is due to their failure to draw the distinction between emotion and emotionalism . . .There is a real difference . . . But . . . what about the excesses, the fanaticism, and the various phenomena . . . are you not tending to encourage disorder? . . . In reply we must emphasize that for God to visit a soul is the most overwhelming experience one can ever know; and it is not surprising therefore that sometimes the physical frame cannot stand it . . . it is not surprising if, sometimes, when the Spirit of God enters into people with great power, they should lose their self-control for a while. This should not trouble us. But should it still do so, the best course to adopt is to read a great book by Jonathan Edwards entitled On the Nature of the Religious Affections . . . The essence of his argument is to demonstrate that it is not at all surprising if when the Spirit of God enters into a man's soul in power, unusual things should happen, and that his normal balance should be upset temporarily. This does not justify excesses, but helps to explain them . . . We must remember also that at such a time of revival the devil is anxious to produce counterfeits and cause confusion. He turns people's attention to the phenomena, to the experiences, to the excitement; and there are always people who look only for such things.
How can we tell the difference between the true and the counterfeit?
There are certain tests which can always be applied. True emotion produced by the Holy Ghost ALWAYS leads to humility, to reverence, to a holy love of God. A man may sing, or may dance for a while; but that does not persist . . . what is permanent, and what proves genuineness, is that the man is filled with a sense of awe. He has been near the Majesty of God and is of necessity humbled. This emerged clearly in the accounts of the experiences of several of the great men of God which I have quoted. They very rarely spoke about it; there was no boastfulness.
No man ever knew more about these matters than the Apostle Paul . . . with all his burning passionate love there is always reverence. The two elements are always present in the same man.
In closing, Lloyd-Jones warns us:
Let us then be careful lest in our fear of excitability and emotionalism and strange enthusiasm and some odd phenomena, we may become guilty of quenching the Spirit and thereby robbing ourselves and others of these wonderful blessings that God has for all His people. The question for each of us is: Is the love of God shed abroad in my heart? Do I know, beyond argument, beyond having to convince myself, that I am a child of God, and a joint-heir with Jesus Christ? Such is the result to which the sealing of the Spirit leads.
All emphasis is mine. Excerpts from this post were taken from: D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, God's Ultimate Purpose An Exposition of Ephesians 1, Baker Books, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1978, chapter 24, pp. 279-288.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum
She never seems to look anything other than flawless, and Jenna Dewan-Tatum's front page pose for Women's Health's July 2016 issue is picture perfect.
The 35-year-old actress took to her social media realm to tell her adoring fans about her flirty cover- "So excited to share this with you guys! One of my favorite shoots!"
Her "Anna Faris Is Unqualified" podcast is exploding in popularity and Anna Faris just invited Jenna Dewan-Tatum for her latest episode in hopes of learning how to dance seductively.
The "Step Up" babe posted photos of the whole thing via Instagram and noted, "Things definitely get a little silly when Anna and I get together."
She's always been an avid (and amazing) dancer, so when Jenna Dewan-Tatum dropped by "The Late Late Show with James Corden" she was ready to show off some moves.
Set to the tune of "Alive" by Sia, the "Step Up" starlet and the talk show host hit the dance studio to receive some instruction from toddlers.
Looking to gain the upper hand against his wife Jenna Dewan, Channing Tatum pulled out the big guns during "Lip Sync Battle" last night (January 7).
The "Magic Mike" hunk showed off his own dance moves before bringing out Beyoncé Knowles in an effort to secure the highest score.
They're both master performers and when Channing Tatum takes on his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum on "Lip Sync Battle," it's going to be insane.
In a new extended preview of the upcoming season, the "Magic Mike XXL" hunk gets all gussied up as Elsa from Disney's "Frozen," while Jenna appears to poke fun at her hubby's past as a stripper during her own routine.
Taking things to the next level, the forthcoming season of "Lip Sync Battle" promises to be nothing short of incredible.
The newly-released trailer features Channing Tatum getting all gussied up as Beyoncé, causing quite a reaction from LL Cool J - "This is crazy!"
Kicking off the week with some promotional duties, the cast of "The Hateful Eight" showed up at the ArcLight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood on Monday evening (December 7).
"Magic Mike" hunk Channing Tatum brought his lovely wife Jenna Dewan to the swanky shindig, joined by Zendaya, Bella Thorne, Kurt Russell and Samuel L. Jackson.
The Beverly Hilton Hotel was replete with celebrities on Sunday night (November 1) as the 19th Annual Hollywood Film Awards took over the place.
Hosted by James Corden, the shindig boasted famous folks like Amy Schumer, Will Smith, Carey Mulligan, Reese Witherspoon, Robert De Niro, Alicia Vikander, Channing Tatum and his wife Jenna Dewan.
The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills was chock full of star power on Monday night (October 19) as the 2015 ELLE Women in Hollywood Awards took over the scene.
New mommy Carey Mulligan was perfect in periwinkle as she rubbed shoulders with the likes of Kate Winslet, Salma Hayek, Nina Dobrev, Nikki Reed, Shailene Woodley and Julianne Hough.
Kicking off the month with a star-studded shindig, the A List 15th Anniversary Party welcomed beautiful babes like Minka Kelly and Mandy Moore last night (September 1) in Beverly Hills.
Joined by Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Vanessa Hudgens, the "Friday Night Lights" starlet and the "All Good Things" songstress were all smiles as they mingled with their fellow famous guests.

Ageless Product Overview
Ageless is an anti-aging serum that is manufactured by the international company Rejuvenate. There is a good amount of information available regarding this company on their very attractive and 'state of the art' website, which, among other details, outlines the history of the company and their commitment to environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.
Each of the company's products has their own section on the site which includes customer testimonials but no FAQ's. All products have a 15-day money-back guarantee, but by ordering from the website the consumer is enrolled into the 'preferred customer' program whereby they receive the product every month. The prices for the products are not clearly shown, and only disclosed in the 'terms and conditions' section.
Ageless The Product Details
As the name of the company suggests, the main aim of their products is to slow down and even reverse the signs of aging, which can include not only lines and wrinkles but dull, sagging skin, blemishes, age spots and under eye circles.
Ageless Anti-aging serum is a scientifically formulated blend of moisturizers, proteins and anti-oxidants that can be used on most parts of the body and even treat certain conditions such as stretch marks, acne, and razor burn. The website explains thoroughly how the Ageless serum works and what it contains, although no actual product label is shown, and the amounts of ingredients are unknown.
The key active ingredients in the blend are Aloe Vera gel and Citrus Aurantum to moisturize, soothe and renew cell production, Hydrolyzed Elastin and soluble collagen to strengthen connective skin tissue, Co Q10 to increase cell renewal, Glycosaminoglycans, Panthenol and Allantoin to attract and maintain moisture. Ageless serum also contains 12 anti-oxidants including Acai berry, Blueberry, Red cabbage and Goji berry which are helpful in fighting free-radicals in the body and have proved successful in preventing certain diseases.
Despite the good ingredients and claims that Ageless helps the user 'look up to 10 years younger on the first application', Rejuvenate does no supply any form of clinical test results for any of their products.
Strengths Of Ageless
- The instructions for use are very detailed
- The key active ingredients are listed
- Ageless contains 12 important anti-oxidants
- Ageless can be used on all body parts
- The products have a 15-day money back guarantee
- The Rejuvenate website is user-friendly
- Information regarding the company is provided
- Customer testimonials are shown
Weaknesses Of Ageless
- No full ingredient list is provided
- No ingredient amounts are shown
- The company makes some exaggerated claims for the product
- No FAQ's are provided
- The price of the products are not clearly shown
Ageless The Bottom Line
It would be helpful for the consumer to know the exact amounts of each ingredient contained in the Ageless serum, in order for them to know how potent it might be. Whatever the amounts are, it is questionable as to whether the product would have such a huge effect from the first application; it is more likely to have a cumulative effect over time.
Although the price of Ageless is not as much as similar creams ($49.95 for a one-month supply), the consumer should be aware that 15 days is not really adequate time to properly judge the effectiveness and, if the order is not cancelled promptly, they will be enrolled into the monthly shipping program.
Aging is a completely natural process that happens to everyone at one time or another. Fortunately, there are several choices when it comes to quality anti-wrinkle creams that allow you to keep your youthful complexion and glow for years to come. To help you delay this as long as possible, you have to choose a wrinkle cream very carefully, since most creams are not really effective. To make it easy for you to choose the best anti-wrinkle cream, we have evaluated the top products on the market. Below are the best products on the market rated according to the effectiveness and safety of the ingredients.

|Thatched cottages at Warter
|Junction with Cobdale Lane
Not long after the road joins up with Cobdale Lane that goes up to Huggate I was thinking what a great place for views - to the west you could see down in to the Vale of York and to the east across to the coast. This probably represented a view of sixty miles or more. I saw that someone else had had the same idea as a car was parked at the side of the road and a man was taking pictures. As I passed I remarked about it being a great place for pictures and we and the man's wife started talking. As it turned out the gentleman had, what must have been quite a number of years ago, lived in York and used to cycle across the Wolds to Bridlington. They were navigating using a dog-eared RAC atlas that must have been at least 50 years old that the man had used, pinned to his handlebars, to navigate around the wolds many years ago. As it turned out the couple now lived in Italy and had visited York to see their son graduate the day before and were taking a one day trip down memory lane. They knew of David Hockney's work in painting Yorkshire Wolds landscapes and being not far from Warter I showed them the location where he had painted his "Bigger Trees near Warter" (My Bigger Trees Near Warter). We then bade each other farewell and went on our way.

As I crossed the lane I noticed the car from earlier parked further up the road and more photos being taken. I waited and after a short while the couple drove up to me. They'd not managed to find the location of the picture so I gave them some more directions and advised them that the trees aren't that near Warter and they'd need to go a little further out of the village to find them than they'd previously tried. They turned round and headed back to Warter. I really hope that they found the site of the picture.

I reckoned that I'd done somewhere around 9 miles across this fantastic piece of countryside and I'd really enjoyed this part of my day off.

Readers have shown an unswerving loyalty, achieved against unprecedented competition in the current account market as it responds to government initiatives to shake up the banking sector.
First Direct scored particularly well in friendliness of staff, quality of literature, account flexibility and efficiency. After three years of dire conditions in world stock markets, share dealing firms have found the going tough and some of the biggest names in the business have pulled out of Britain or retrenched.
In this sort of climate, customers will not suffer poor service and First Direct has moved up the rankings to win the best share dealing category, knocking last year's winner, Hargreaves Lansdown, off the top spot. An example of First Direct shining in another area of diversification.
The range of ethical financial services now spans stock market funds to bank accounts and mortgages. Sorting out the ethical credentials of the various companies courting business in this area is a challenge that has been met by Ethical Investments Co-operative, which has been voted best independent financial adviser for the fourth consecutive year, beating the Co-op, Frizzell, Countrywide and Charcol on the way. Readers say they're willing to recommend Ethical and that they receive clear details of charges and commission.

Slept in this morning and awoke to 6 inches of fluffy new snow, which was a real surprise because the weatherman never said much about snow. While I was out shoveling snow, a group of 80 snow geese flew over my house really low. We NEVER see snow geese up here. At about 11:00 the sky started to clear, and the geese and some ducks came pouring in from the north, mostly geese. Got a call from friend that found a field with about 3000 mallards, and was fortunate to go because the guy who owns it doesnt let many people on. Needless to say 5 of us shot 34 mallards and 1 pintail. Forgot my camera, will try to get a pic from a friend.
Good hutin,

- What is Cryogenic? - The Process
Cryogenic freezing is an upcoming food processing technology that is gaining popularity because of the lower setup costs and improved food quality when compared to mechanical freezing.
Cryogenic food freezing differs widely from mechanical ammonia of Freon freezing systems. Thus, it requires a different procedure in determining the final exit temperature of a certain food product. Cryogenic freezing involves freezing the outer layers of the food beyond its actual freezing point, while the inner part of the product remains warm. The product's final temperature is not its temperature as it exits the cryogenic tunnel. . Only after full equilibration or equalization is its final temperature known. This usually occurs after up to 15 minutes later, Innovative cryogenic freezing technologies can be used to produce high quality frozen foods.
To obtain the maximum refrigeration benefit, a typical CO2 system will inject CO2 throughout the length of the freezer. In N2 systems, the N2 is sprayed into the freezer and separates as liquid and vapor. As droplets touch the product surface, the liquid changes to vapor, and in the process, extracts latent heat from the food surface. The vapor distribution through the freezer creates convective currents that increase the freezing rate. In this case, about 50% of the refrigeration effect is supplied by the N2 phase change from liquid to vapor. The remaining heat is removed by the N2 vapor flowing through the freezer. It should be noted that heat removal would not induce phase change by itself: additional factors such as the rate of formation of ice crystals and the propagation of these in the food structure are involved.
The freezing of food materials is more complex than the freezing of pure water. All food materials contain solutes such as carbohydrates, salts, colorants and other compounds which affect their freezing behavior. Most food products contain animal and/or vegetable cells forming biological tissues. The water content of these tissues is either inside the cells (intracellular fluid) or surrounding these (extra cellular fluid). Since the lowest concentration of solutes is found in the extra cellular fluids, the first ice crystals are formed there. During a slow freezing, there will be time for the cell to lose water by diffusion and the water will freeze on the surface of the crystals already formed. As the cells keep losing water, the cell shrinks more and more until it collapses. The large ice crystals will exert pressure on the cellular walls, causing drip loss during thawing. A rapid freezing promotes a large number of small ice crystals distributed uniformly throughout the tissue, both inside and outside the cells .Hence, products frozen with cryogenic technologies show a matrix of small ice crystals and a better texture than products frozen using slower heat transfer processes.

Slab, footer, block, insulation, vapor barrier & me!
HELP would be so appreciated. I'm building a 12x20 art studio/office in central WV. I want it to be warm and dry, and, I only want to do it once, so I want to do it right. The location ground is solid and not damp. The Amish will build this - they have put up two cabins for us, but they built them on concrete blocks set on the ground, raised up about a foot from the ground. I don't think this is a good idea for my studio, as the floor won't be warm (you can't get under there to insulate) and I will have a heavy floor load with books and stained glass.
I am weighing price & benefits of a low footer/foundation wall or a footer w/a course or two of cinderblock or concrete piers set on foundation concrete tubes or a slab floor.
I am weighing the insulation issues as well. The Amish come and build in one day over your previously prepared foundation (whatever type you choose). You do not have the opportunity to have them stop while you somehow crawl under the joists to do any work.
I do not want a mold problem. I do not want a moisture problem.
I am thinking of a low poured footer/foundation, insulated on the outside with rigid insulation (1"?), dampproofing the footer, laying down a polyethylene vapor barrier on the ground and up the sides, and then letting the Amish construct the floor (2x4s w/OSB) on top of this. I can install vents through the foundation wall, if needed, but from what I've researched, it's best to leave it all sealed up. This will be 1' - 2' high and inaccessible once finished.
What do you guys say? Nothing has been done or purchased yet, but I'm anxious to move forward?
Many thanks in advance, Tina
My preference would be a slab, poured over 3" XPS insulation!
When I built my attached garage and laundry room in 1978, I used this method and have been very satisfied!
No worry about varmits getting underneath! And the insulation has already been taken care of!
You could even consider putting in heating cable, while you are at it!
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, if I do a slab I'll do radiant heating - we have that in one of our other buildings and it's WONDERFUL!! But, the contractor said I'd need a 6" slab if I was putting radiant in. Do you believe so? Of course, that adds to the price! What thickness slab is needed for a small (12' x 20') building if radiant heating is going in?? And, what is XPS insulation?? Is it rigid styrofoam?
I would agree with Wildie that a poured slab with insulation and a vapour barrier is the best way to go. This is the most common type of floor here.
If underfloor heating is required, a 4 inch slab is laid first, and then a 3 inch sand/cement screed is put over the top of the pipework.
Now you're confusing me. A 4" slab with the radiant tubing ON TOP of it? My understanding is the radiant tubing is IN the slab, along with the wire "fencing". Please explain a bit more and why you'd do it in two slab pours. Thanks for answering!

Concrete floors here have traditionally been done with a 4 inch slab and then a sand cement screed here. You can better a better finish like that and also if there is a problem with the pipework it is much easier to break up the screed.
Attachment 19779
Thanks so much for that picture - it really helps. So this type is poured in two pours? How many days apart? I doubt if our forms guy here in rural West Virginia has ever poured 2 layers for something like this, but I'll find out. Now, what is this "sand cement screed mixture?"
Could this top layer be my finished floor? If not, what do you (or anyone else reading this) recommend for a floor finish? I'd be happy with wood planks (over firring strips?)
The mix is 3 flooring sand 1 portland cement. The screed can be put on a week later. It is the finished floor, although normally carpeted or tiled.
Thanks again. IF our guy never did this, and insists on one pour, what thickness floor would be needed, without overbuilding?
I would guess about 6 inches.
Many thanks again. I'd like to hear what anyone else may suggest to my original post regarding slab vs. low foundation wall vs. cement block piers.
Ithink that if you are installing hot water lines in the floor, it is done with two pours, but I believe electric heating cable can be done with one pour!
I have no experience with this, so perhaps others will advise you!

Having brake issues since day one.
Ok First post here so Hello to everyone.
A little information on what I'm working with here. The car I am working with in my Grandfathers. He's got the money, I get to drive it and show it. I have been taking the car to shows for about a year now. Its a 1956 Crown Victoria, powered buy a modular 4.6 blown by Kenne Bell, Fatman Fabrications Mustang II stage 3 Front end, Ford 8.8 rear. The car has been fully restored/customized for about 3 years now. Since day one the Brakes have never been right. We have a disk/disk setup on it and the car barely wants to stop with your foot pressing as hard as possible. Between him and I we have put 570 miles on it in the past 3 years, and as stated above the brakes have never been right. Friday I pulled the system apart making sure everything was setup right, as far as the brake pedal, linkage, booster pin, brake line hookup and routing, etc. was all OK. Everything seams to be in correct order.
One thing I did notice was when I pulled the master cylinder off and pressed the brake pedal the booster pin would come out just over an inch or so, when I put the MC back on the booster and press the pedal it will only go in about half the distance like it was bottoming out. I have come to the conclusion there is nothing wrong from the pedal to the Booster. So I figure there has to be something wrong with the MC or the combination valve.
Saturday I pulled the MC to check it, The fluid looked pretty rough, the piston seamed to hang up a bit when pressing it in, after I dumped out the fluid there was quite a bit of rust crud in the bottom of the MC so I ran to the store and got one. By the way it is a dual diaphram booster with a C3 GM master cylinder. I bench bleed the new MC install it and bleed the brakes. Take it for a run, and nothing seams any different. My Grandad came down and told me that when he bought that conversion kit, the car was to be set up with a disk/drum setup. By the time the car was finished it had disk/disk because they ended up using the 8.8 rear end out of the donor mustang.
Now after doing some research I see there are Disk/drum and disk/disk combination valves. since he ordered that kit as disk/drum I am assuming it may have the wrong combination valve in it. Would having the wrong combination valve cause extremely poor braking? Any suggestions? He's getting irritated. And I'm the one to fix it. Here are a few pics for you guys. Thanks in advance

Re: FindFit and NormFunction (to find a best fit by medians)
When I am trying one problem with FindFit, I found your note.
Here I have one similar question: Here I have TWO methods to constrain
the fitting process, one is the normal least-squares method, another
is made by me. And now I want to use these two methods at the same
You have given one method to use your own function, but how to write
the codes to add the normal least-squares into the program?
I have searched this for a long time, but have not found this kind of
examples, please help me.
Many thanks

It's that time of year again, Winter is right around the corner. One of the joys of hiking/backpacking is that you really can do it all year long. One piece of essential gear however are Snowshoes. Snowshoes allow you to go to places in the snow that normally you wouldn't be able to get to and snowshoes also allow you to climb steep hills and mountains. There are many snowshoe features to consider when choosing snowshoes and all the options available are important.
I have put together the top 5 snowshoe manufactures to consider when choosing this essential piece of gear. I considered Weight, Cost, and Reviews. Normally there are 3 different categories, Recreational, Backpacking, and Fitness. For this list, I'll stick with Backpacking.
Depending on your weight and the weight of anything carried (such as a backpack, etc.), the snowshoe must be the correct length to keep you from sinking in the powdered snow. If you are only going to be snowshoeing in packed powder, possibly choose a smaller length snowshoe.
* under 70 pounds – children
* 70 – 155 pounds – 8×21
* 90 – 170 pounds – 8×25
* 170 – 220 pounds – 9×30
* Over 220 pounds – 10×36
Make sure you know your pack weight.
The MSR Denali Evo Ascent
The MSR Denali Snowshoe is incredibly efficient for snowshoeing in steep terrain thanks to its Televator heel lifter. When the going gets steep, just pull up this heel lifter, and your foot will remain flat even when you're walking straight up a steep incline. Keeping your feet flat also reduces the stress on your calves, so you can travel further. Available tail attachments increase flotation in deep snow. These snoweshoes retail for around $200.00 Trailspace.com gives it a 5 star rating
Atlas line
As the flagship of the the 12 Series Snowshoe handles the steepest, roughest, deepest and iciest terrain that snowshoers get into. These snowshoes feature top-notch materials like a burly, lightweight ReactiV 7075 aluminum frame, Duratek deck fabric which sheds snow like crazy, and stainless steel crampons to handle icy conditions with ease. Of course, they also feature Atlas' V Frame design, which lets you walk naturally. Retails for $140 – $200. Trailspace has it a 5 Star Rating
Tubbs Mountain Series Snowshoe
Base of binding system adjusts to accommodate various boot widths. Binding system maximizes support for the boot and optimizes heel retention; uses Rigid Control Wings and secure toe and heel straps to center boot. Flexible polyurethane straps with fast ratchet-buckle system prevent undue constriction, improving blood circulation to the toes. Lateral heel crampon delivers additional traction on a traverse and during the descent. Puncture- and abrasion-resistant ArcTec Plus decking withstands extreme weather and use down to -40 F. Razor-sharp climbing, traversing and braking teeth ensure stability on packed snow. Rotating Toe Cord pivot point allows a natural walking gait while still ensuring maximum crampon grip in steep terrain. Strong, anodized 7000-series aluminum frames feature a streamlined, ergonomic shape for medial clearance and improved stability. Retails from $170 – $200 Trailspace gives this a 4 Star Rating
Northern Lites Snow Shoes
Founder Russell Post is such a fanatic for a lightweight construction, he's drilled holes in his toothbrush to lighten his load while camping. Originally an engineer, the avid snow-shoer and outdoorsman founded Northern Lites with the mission to improve and lighten existing snow shoe design. Over 15 years later, Northern Lites remains a leader in light-weight, high-performance snow shoes, trusted by backcountry enthusiasts and mountaineers for their fine construction and unparalleled lightness. For the experienced, die-hard snow-shoer who thinks nothing of a hike in the Canadian Rockies in January, the Northern Lites Elites provide aggressive crampons and the same ultra-light construction that helped snow-shoe racer Mark Macy win the Iditarod 100-mile Snow Shoe race three times. Retails for $249.00 You can buy this directly from Norther Lights. (This is the snowshoe I use) They are light and work great.
Redfeather Guide Snowshoe
Engineered for winter backcountry getaways, the Redfeather series has a wide high-floatation profile and a rugged construction that gets you there and back while hiking, backpacking and climbing. The rounded Western Tail configuration helps keep you above the snow even when you're loaded down with a heavy backpack (keep in mind that the 230-lb. rating for this size includes you and your pack weight). Rugged 7/8-in. diameter tubing and burly Hypalon II decking help ensure that the Guide Snowshoe holds up to trail wear and tear miles from the trailhead. Redfeather's new Pilot Binding System has a free-sliding base plate that secures the front and back of the binding with one fastening closure, making it easy to find your size and keep it throughout your adventure." Retails for $200. Rating 4 Stars
Don't let a little snow stop you from exploring Nature. See you on the Trail.

Replacing A 3way Electrical Switch.
I was changing out old switches in an old apartment when I came across this enigma. Switches in the kitchen and hall both operate the hall light. The switch in the kitchen was a regular 3way switch job with a red, a black and a white wire. The switch in the hall had four wires, 2 black and 2 white. I replaced this with a 4way which my husband said was incorrect. In the mean time until we find the correct type of switch (which I'm open to suggestions) we put the old ones back on but must have messed something up because now the kitchen switch only works when the hall one is positioned "down". I have multiple questions. What is the red wire hooked to? None of the wires in the 4-wire box read 110v so which one is the power coming in from? I'll stop here for now. Thanks.
1 Attachment(s)
Cant tell you what wire go where just by color. Find out what wire at the kitchen switch is your ALWAYS HOT WIRE
3 Attachment(s)
Following are three common setups for 3-way switch configuration. Depending on whether the ALWAYS HOT wire is coming into a switch box or the load(light) box:
Diagram 3 is where incoming power(ALWAYS HOT WIRE) comes into the load box.
Diagram 1 is where incoming power(ALWAYS HOT WIRE) comes into one of the 3-way switch boxes box and the other 3-way switch is AFTER the load.
Diagram 2 is where incoming power(ALWAYS HOT WIRE) comes into one of the 3-way switch boxes box and the other 3-way switch is before the LOAD
when you put the 'old switches' back, you got the common wire of the hall switch on a traveller screw
Is there a third switch that also controls this fixture? If the one switch was a four way then there should be a third switch that is a three way.
Have you answered Joed's question? There has to be a third switch somewhere. To simplify three ways, I like to think as input power goes to the common of one switch, and the load goes to the common of the other 3 way switch.
Four way's go in the middle, and there can be as many as you want.
Can you check at the kitchen switch location to see what wire is the ALWAYS HOT wire? Are there any other wires in the kitchen switch box? If you have a red wire at the kitchen switch and no red wire at either the other switch or no red wire at the light, then there is another junction point somewhere.
It was asked before by joed...are the switch in the kitchen and the switch in the hall THE ONLY 2 that control the light in question
Are you renting?
You need a multi tester to check the wires in each box and the light box to find the source or always hot wire...then follow one of the diagrams provided in the replies here..the idea is this: the source HOT wire goes to the common conductor on one 3 way (even if it enters thru the light box it has to continue to one of the switches first) and then you run travellers from the other two terminals on the switch to the corrsponding two terminals on the other 3 way then the common of that second 3 way goes to the light which completes the circuit...the other terminal of the light gets the neutral of course ...what seems odd is one three way had a red whire indicated a 3 conductor cable but this wire didnt show up in the second switch box normally the red and white wires are from 3 cable and are the travellers...the black wires are either the source wire or the switch wire to the light...sounds like someone is using two 14-2 cables in place of 14-3 cable for part of the run..I did this myself when I had plenty of 14-2 and didnt want to waste it and go buy 14-3 I just snipped off one of the white wires (not connected to anything)
the diagrams that I posted are simplistic in nature because there is only one device at each box and all cables incoming to each box are being used by either a switch or the light.
With only two switches both switches should only have three wires connected to them + possibly a ground.
Can you tell us all the cables and wire connections in the two switch boxes.
I think it may save you a lot of time on here if you just take the time to take some pictures and post them, so we can all see exactly whats going on.

Current version: 0.2.0 (for Scala 2.8.x and higher) Download Manual (PDF)
Older Versions
Scala Pages 0.1.1 (Scala 2.7.7)
Scala Pages 0.1.2
What are Scala Pages?
Scala Pages (SCP) is a lightweight framework for creating Scala web applications. It is itself written in Scala and released under the Apache 2 license. SCP provides an API that is familiar to Java programmers, as it is built on and closely aligned to the Servlet API. It can be learned quickly by anyone familiar with Java web development. The SCP Scala web framework is build around a text-oriented template engine and facilitates an MVC application architecture. Templates can be HTML-templates, XML-templates or any other text format, such as CSV, JSON, etc. SCP is designed to be fast, efficient, and scalable with moderate CPU and memory requirements.
Target Audience
Scala Pages likely appeals to web programmers who come from a Java background and want to program web applications in Scala.
- Adheres to model-view-controller (MVC) paradigm
- Text-based template engine
- Simple syntax: $variable and <?scp-instruction?>
- Encoding/content detection, able to handle international text encodings
- Template processing instructions are extensible with snippet classes
- URL Rewriting
- Template Caching
Code Sample
The following example contains a response class (= page controller) that picks a random colour and a template that displays the chosen colour. The resulting page will look different upon each refresh:
import scala.util.Random import scp.core._ class WebPage(request: Request) extends TemplateResponse(request) { override def controller: Unit = { val colours = List( ("greenish", "#33cc66"), ("blueish", "#3399ff"), ("redish", "#cc3300"), ("shocking pink", "#ff00cc"), ("light purple", "#996699"), ("baby blue", "#66ffcc"), ("yellowish", "#fff33") ) val pick = colours(Random.nextInt(6)) request.vars += "nameOfColour" -> pick._1 request.vars += "colour" -> pick._2 } <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">   <title>Colour Example</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
This ought to be $nameOfColour

I've been lurking on this forum for a while and I have decided to come to you guys for help. I'm planning a bachelor party for mid-Jan and need some ideas. I'm looking for the trifecta-duck hunting, steelhead (I've got some non-duck hunters to appease)and casino. I want to stay at/near the casino but have the hunting and fishing close. This guy has been my best friend for 15 years and deserves to go out in style. I've got two ideas so far but am looking for more.
1) Skagit- they have a wicked trifecta, but I've never hunted up there. I don't know if i'd feel comfortable leading a hunting party up there.
2) Ocean Shores-Hoh, and Chehalis area and Quinalt Casino.
We're looking to stay on the wet-side.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.

natural light, 3 coats
The formulation on this was pretty easy to work with, however it was just a touch sheer. I really needed a third coat to make sure every nail was opaque. As far as deep blue nail colors go, I don't think this is a revolutionary shade, but it is fun and looks great paired with an edgy outfit (I chose all black, with silver accessories and a smoky eye!).
Would you wear it?

I got a collar. It is pink with flowers and rhinestones and it has a BELL!
I like the color, I like the sparkly flowers, but I hate that BELL!
The Lady loves it, she says that now she can hear me no matter where I am in the house and that she will be able to find me better if I get out again :(
So, no more sneaking around for me :(
If I do get out again, the first thing I am doing is losing this collar! Then I can sneak around the house again-undetected!
I did it! I finally got out of that house!
I saw my chance when The Man opened the door.
Both him and The Lady had their hands full and so I darted out as fast as I could!
I raced across the back porch and down the driveway!
I heard The Lady calling for me so I snuck around the side of the house and into the back yard and sniffed around the flower garden.
The Man spotted me, so I put on my scared kitty act and went up to him and meowed. But before he could grab me, I ran back onto the porch! The Lady opened up the door and I went inside.
It was fun! I will have to do it again sometime!
I went into heat this weekend and the Lady loved it!
I know she was only pretending that I was driving her crazy...I know that my yowling and meowing was music to her ears!
She even took me in today for something she called a "tummy tuck" which is cool because after having kittens, it will be nice to have my girlish figure back. :)

By Zahir Shah Sherazi
PESHAWAR, (Dawn) : Three people were killed and two others were injured when militants attacked three Nato containers in Shagai area of Jamrud tehsil of the Khyber tribal region on Monday.
Security forces were engaged in a firefight with the militants who attacked the containers and set them on fire.
As a result, the drivers of the containers were killed, whereas two others were in a critical condition.
Khyber is among Pakistan's seven semi-autonomous tribal districts near the Afghan border, rife with homegrown insurgents and home to a number of militant organisations.
The tribal region also links several agencies to each other, serving as a north-south route within Fata.
Moreover, the bulk of supplies and equipment required by foreign troops in Afghanistan is shipped through the Khyber region, although US troops increasingly use alternative routes through central Asia.

ITER Nuclear Fusion Project Approved
Tuan Nguyen

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
World nations inject $12.8-billion USD into the project
The Globe and Mail reports this week that the
ITER nuclear fusion project has been approved for $12.8-billion USD
. Although the
International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) has been in the planning and development stages for more than ten years, it is well supported by most of the world's leading countries that include the U.S., China, India, Russia, Japan, South Korea and the European Union.
previously reported that
the ITER project last met in Belgium
, where the project was discussed for international support and funding. The main goal of the ITER project is to counter the effects of global warming and other environmentally harmful waste products that result from using fossil fuels. According to the ITER group, a nuclear fusion reactor will be able to produce energy by harnessing the same source of power that gives life to the sun.
The approval of the ITER project was accomplished at the Elysee Palace in Paris, where French president Jacques Chirac noted that "the growing shortage of resources and the battle against global warming demand a revolution in our ways of production and consumption." Many of the world leaders and leading scientists believe that nuclear fusion will be one of the primary sources of energy by the end of the century.
The first ITER reactor will be built in Cadarache, Provence. According to the report, the European Union will be funding 50-percent of the project while the remaining countries will each fund roughly 10-percent. The reactor is expected to create some 10,000 new jobs and take roughly eight years to build. 400 scientists around the world will manage the reactor and a demonstration power plant using nuclear fusion will be up and running by 2040.
"If they're going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else." -- Microsoft Business Group President Jeff Raikes
