How are the Scriptures to be Viewed? – Part 1E.W. Bullinger
How shall I describe to you what l found in that New Testament? l had not read it for many years and was prejudiced against it before I took it in hand. The light which struck Paul with blindness on his way to Damascus was not more strange, more surprising to him than it was to me when l suddenly found the fulfillment of all hopes, the highest perfection of philosophy, the explanation of all revelation, the key to all the seeming contradictions of the physical and moral world. lf the Bible is not divine, I know nothing at all." Max Muller, Historian
The Greatest Quest
The greatest quest to which one can give himself is the PURSUANCE OF TRUTH. The Lord Jesus Christ stated in John 18:37, "To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth." He likewise stated that God's Word is Truth in John 17:17.
The Hebrew word "Yetseh," translated "truth" (there are several others) has the thought of a laid plan, certainty; while the Greek word (N) "alethia" signifies the reality underlying an appearance as, for instance, when Christ is spoken of as "The Truth" (John 14:6) He was the perfect expression of truth. He embodied the truth of God; of the Father; of obedience to the demands of redemption in His death , etc. The Christian is pictured as being armored (Ephesians 6: 14) and the loins were to be girt about with truth. This was the girding belt upon and to which all other sections of armor were attached; thus truth holds all together. The truth of the word is by divine revelation, not human reasoning, or, as it is so well put in 2 Peter 1: 19-21, "knowing this first, that any prophecy of scripture never came (come to be, originate) of its own unfolding (Greek: sending forth): for not by the will of man was prophecy at any time brought, but being moved by the "pneuma hagion"' (Spirit, Holy), men spake from God. "'
2 Timothy 3: l 6 defines all scriptures as "God-breathed" He spake "by the mouth" of His holy prophets. The mouth and/or pen were theirs; the words were His. They were borne along and, though the calligraphy remained theirs, the Heavenly Breath, the Power of Inspiration was His. Thus we have a divine library called the Bible. It is a varied book dealing with origins, with nations, with a select people meant to be His agency midst world-wide idolatry, with redemption and the Redeemer, with the present revelation of pure grace, with foreboding judgments to come. lt is an interesting book and the only one, the knowledge of which, will go beyond the grave.Imitate the Noble Bereans
In the pursuance of truth, a simple pattern is set forth in Acts 17:11-
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
I . These noble Bereans received the Word with all readiness of mind.
2. They searched the Scriptures daily.
3. They tested whether the doctrines taught of men were agreeable thereto.
God's noblemen and women are those who hear and receive truth with readiness of mind: who search the Scriptures daily and who test all they hear (see or read) by the touchstone of the Holy Book.Obey God's Commandment
In searching the Scriptures, one naturally desires to read with understanding. This Book was given to ordinary people with ordinary minds; it is profound, but not impossible; it is difficult in parts, and yet sublimely simple in others; it does not gloss over sin as with David, nor does it neglect to mention his heart-rending prayer for forgiveness (Psalm 51); it is boId, yet gentle; it shows the faithfulness of God, the frailty of man, the grace of God, and the judgements to come, held back only by the present grand amnesty.
To understand this book, a few simple principles are set forth in the book itself. 2Timothy 2: 15 commands us to:
1 . Study, study, study, There is no "easy" way of learning anything well.
2. Study to SHOW (present) thyself approved (examined, tested) unto God. Since this book is one that deals with the issues and fibers of life, and since all we will be taught from it will mold our hearts and minds, we should then study to present ourselves as those to be examined by God Himself. This awareness would again bring forth men and women of the Book of God.
3. A workman, a craftsman (laborer) in the Word of God, unashamed. "The Bible is to be a workshop. God wants craftsmen (workers) in the Word.
4. Unashamed – giving and having no cause for shame.
Rightly dividing – to divide rightly. In Proverbs 3:6, in the LXX, it is used of wisdom rightly dividing the paths of those who allow it. The latter part of this compound word, "otho-temeo" is still retained in anatomy: tracheotomy and phlebotomy, each retaining the idea to cut. " It is the Word of Truth that is to be rightly divided if we are to study with understanding.
This concept of "right division"' does not imply the casting aside, counting as unimportant, or discrediting or rejecting any portion of the Scriptures. It does mean that the student of the Scriptures is to "distinguish the things that differ" (Phil 1:10 Greek Text). He is to distinguish between Jew and Gentile, between what was old covenant and passing with Israel (Hebrews 8:13) and a new covenant that would re-instate Israel with all her glory as God's covenant people (Hebrews 8:8-12)., a covenant provided for and ratified in the death of Christ (Hebrews 10:16). This is to be distinquished from God's present dictum of grace to Gentiles for salvation; for righteousness; for a dispensation (Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 2: 1-14; 3:7, Ephesians 3:2).
The principle of rightly dividing (may be easily seen by comparing the terms of the Gospel preached in Luke 9:l –6; l8:31-34, with the terms of the Gospel in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. In the former, the death, burial and resurrection of Christ had not part as it was hid from the disciples and they did not understand it, nor did they preach it. In the latter, the death for sin, the burial and resurrection of Christ is the very heart of the Gospel of salvation. lf one does not "rightly divide"these passages, there is confusion instead of "instruction."
All Scripture
The Scriptures were meant to be studied in whole and in part; they are given for the complete furnishing of the man of God unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16, 2: I7). As H.B. Bunce so well said. "ln our ignorance, we need teaching; in our wrong thinking, we need conviction; in our wrong doing, we need correction; in our self-willfulness, we need chastisement."
In studying and teaching the Word of God, we must find room for ALL Scripture. While loving the Prison Epistles of Paul, and rightfully stressing the truth for the present time, we cannot neglect the rest of the Scriptures without irreparable loss. To stress grace and neglect a holy walk; to stress privilege and neglect personal responsibility; to stress head knowledge when the heart remains cold; to stress what we have received and not balance it with what we call give of ourselves – love, time, and money, would add up to an unbalanced Christian and, need we add, this movement had been unbalanced in this area!
In a recent letter, Charles Welch wrote, "I feel I must look again into the book of Job. " This the spirit that would keep us in balance – a spirit that lets all Scripture speak and teach us its truths. With Isaiah we need reminding that "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty and with Paul's Prison ministry of grace, we need to know that the first part of Ephesians 3 is balanced in the last section by the love of Christ; and that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith. " Christ over and in the believer . . . how this simple truth needs realization in this movement to keep us from spiritual pride and intellectual prudity.

A family fun weekend in Kimberley and was said to be a great success.
Kimberley Town Council decided to organise the event for the first time this year after scaling back the town's annual pram race, and said it was something it wants to continue with every year
The weekend had a 'fun at the seaside' theme and there were pony rides, a sand pit, Punch and Judy, face painting, a stilt walker and various stalls.
Mary McGuckin, the chair of the events committee said: "The weather was beautiful and families had lots of fun. We are looking forward to the next year."
The pram race has been scaled back to a morning parade and will take place on September 8.

LOL, I hate it too..
Primary tabs
I like Copperplate Gothic, since I fondly remember it from the letter bricks to spell out your own words in LEGO from my childhood.
But, yes, its range of applicability is limited.
I hate wood screws when they puncture my tyre.
I love wood screws when joining two bits of wood.
But in what proportion do they end up doing each?
Contrast wood screws with cockroaches.
Copperplate without the serifs is actually a nice Sign Painters Gothic.
Recently more tyre than wood.
If it wasn't for bad luck,
I wouldn't have no luck at all.
It's the execution of the "ticks" that rubs people the wrong way.
Had it been done differently, the face might have some of the "agate for display" cachet of Bell Centennial, for instance.
I agree Nick. Its funny because a lot of people hate Papyrus and Copper Plate but I think they are nice typefaces myself.

Vibration training for upper body: Transmission of platform vibrations through cables. J Strength Cond Res 28(4): 1065–1071, 2014—The aim of the present study was to evaluate the vibration transmission from a vibration platform through Vectran cables to the upper body and its relationship to induced muscular activation. Fifteen clinically healthy participants performed 3 different arm exercises—biceps curl, triceps curl, and lateral raise. Vibration transmission to the upper body was assessed over a wide range of accelerations (from 1.90 to 5.98g) and frequencies (from 25 to 40 Hz). To assess the vibration transmission, 7 triaxial accelerometers were attached from the hand up to the head, and the root-mean-square of acceleration signal of each site-specific body point was calculated. Muscular activity of biceps brachii, triceps brachii, deltoid, and upper trapezius was recorded. The results showed a significant attenuation of the platform accelerations transmitted through the Vectran cables to the upper body. Handle vibration ranged between 27 and 44% of the acceleration delivered by the platform depending on platform vibration parameters (acceleration/frequency). Vibration increased the muscle activity of biceps brachii, triceps brachii, deltoid, and upper trapezius muscles significantly only during biceps curl exercises. No frequency or acceleration effect was found on the size of the muscle response. The results of the present study suggest that a cable-pulley resistance system on a vibration platform channels the vibration safely from the platform to the arms and induces additional muscle activation in some arm muscles when biceps curl exercises are performed. 1KU Leuven—University of Leuven, Department of Rehabilitation Science, Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Research Center; 2KU Leuven—University of Leuven, UZ Leuven, Department of Experimental Medicine; 3KU Leuven—University of Leuven, Department of Biomedical Kinesiology, Exercise and Health Research Center; and 4Custom8 NV—Biomechanics Department, Leuven, Belgium Address correspondence to Sabine M.P.

Choosing The Perfect Wedding Venue
Have you pictured exchanging vows when you watched William and Kate in Westminster Abbey? Dreamed of feeling the sand between your toes like the final scene of 27 Dresses? Imagined an tent outdoors during My Best Friends Wedding and yet still don't know what you will do?
Picking your ceremony and reception venues can be more overwhelming than you ever thought! Here are some things we recommend if you're needing some help.
Step 1: How many guests will be attending your wedding? Do you have a rough idea of your guest list? If not this is a good time to sit down with your fiance and go over who will be invited. This will determine which venues will be able to hold your total number of guests. Some venues won't take more than 30 guests, while other venues require a minimum of 120 guests. We recommend, if you can, come into The Wedding Cafe store and look through all our venues. Ask anyone working here to help narrow down your choices based on numbers. Alternatively look through the venues on our site, call or email us anytime!
Step 2: Do you want your ceremony and reception to be at the same venue, separate or does it not matter to you? This will help determine which venues do both, only one and which are close to each other if you're going to be travelling in between.
Step 3: What is the typical weather for the time of year you're getting married? Consider rain, snow, wind and extreme heat (especially in the Okanagan)! Would you be ok if it started to rain during the ceremony? Are you protected from wind? Consider the 'mother nature' elements.
Step 4: Do you need any special requests for mobility impared guests, room for kids, hotel rooms, etc?
Step 5: What is your budget? Consider food, beverage, table rentals, glasware, cuttlery, staffing etc. Many times people think that if you go with a hall it will be less to rent therefore less all around... but make sure you do the math. Some caterers don't include all the plates and glasses, so that will be an extra expense for you. When in doubt ask us!
Step 6: Many times you can save on the cost of your ceremony site when you have your reception there as well. Make sure you look at this as an option to cut the cost.
Step 7: Where do you want your wedding party and family pictures taken? Is your venue close and accessible to those special spots? This isn't the biggest factor when picking your venue, but make sure you allow enough time either before/after the ceremony for pictures and potential travel time.
Step 8: How much decor do you need to do/want- consider the walls, ceiling, chairs, tables and lighting. These are all things which can add some creative fun, yet also increase your costs. Take a look at the venue as many places are beautiful and don't need lots of extra stuff.
If you need help at all- you know we're always there to help you find your ideal venue which fits your style, guests, budget and vibe!
Happy Planning!
xoxo Jenn

BEIRUT — Syria's vice president has acknowledged that the army cannot defeat the rebel forces trying to topple the regime and called for a negotiated settlement to save the country from ruin.
The rare, candid comments by Farouk al-Sharaa, a longtime close aide to President Bashar Assad's family, suggested his embattled regime may be contemplating an exit strategy as rebel forces move closer to the capital Damascus. He spoke in an interview published Monday by Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar.
"I don't see that what the security forces and army units are doing will lead to a definitive victory," al-Sharaa was quoted as saying in the interview conducted in Damascus.
"All these opposition forces can only conclude the battle to topple the regime if their goal is to push the country into chaos and a cycle of violence that has no end," he added.
Al-Sharaa pushed for a negotiated political settlement that includes the formation of a national unity government with wide jurisdiction.
His comments coincided with a step-by-step peace plan for Syria outlined by Iranian officials on Sunday. It would be capped by Syrian elections that presumably could usher in a new leader in Damascus.
Tehran is Assad's closest and perhaps only remaining regional ally, and the initiative suggests its embrace of the Syrian president could be cooling.
The initiative — while almost certain to be rejected by rebel factions — marks one of the clearest signals yet that Iran's leadership is looking to hedge bets and remain a player in Syrian affairs if Assad is toppled.
"Despite his rhetoric, Bashar Assad may now be contemplating an exit strategy — one which would allow him to seek refuge abroad with his neck intact," said British analyst Anthony Skinner.

What every couple should understand about erectile issues
For many men, erectile issues are an every day stress. Whether it's medical or mental, the inability to achieve or maintain an erection, as well as premature ejaculation, can be utterly devastating. It can have heavy impacts on self esteem, on relationships and on life in general. Don't get too down though. Although it can be very frustrating it is actually far more common than you think (over 50% of men will experience some form of erectile dysfunction throughout their life) and it can often be fixed and/or manageable with certain techniques, medications and accessories.
We've put together a few different things that both men and women can do to help the situation and hopefully offer some relief, and release!
For Him
The medical side
It really is important to go and see your doctor. Especially if it's becoming a regular occurrence. Erectile issues can be an underlying symptom of other medical factors such as prostate problems and blood pressure. It's important to get regular prostate exams and check ups, and your doctor can also talk to you about medications such as Viagra and Cialis. Adult shops also stock a variety of herbal erection tablets and, although I have never taken one (I do not have a penis), I do sell them to customers who come into my shop and the repeat business and positive feedback we get from them is enough to warrant a suggestion here.
Edging and other Masturbation Techniques
Sometimes, in the cases of premature ejaculation, and even in maintaining an erection, a really good way to help the situation is by training the body and penis. This can be done in a few different ways. Edging is the practice of masturbating until just before climax, stopping and letting your body (and erection) calm down, and then doing it again, and repeat. The act of stopping the body from ejaculating can help train the body into holding on a little bit longer. Certain sex toys, such as the Fleshlight Stamina Training Unit, can be used to help aid this practice and, according to the manufacturers of the Fleshlight, if you can train your body to last ten minutes with that, it will help you last double that time in the bedroom.
Toys and Accessories
Like the Fleshlight, there are a few different products on the market that can help in strengthening and maintaining your erection. Cock rings are the cheapest, and often very effective, of these products. They are (most commonly) a silicone or rubber ring that is rolled down to the base of the erect penis, and restricts blood flow back down. This can help in not only keeping your penis nice and hard, but when you do come, it can often be quite intense. You can also buy rings with a double loop for restricting the testicles too. This creates even more restriction and even more powerful orgasms. Penis pumps can be a really good way to draw blood into the penis to get it erect, and a cock ring slipped down to the base after you've used the pump can help it stay nice and hard. There are also vibrating masturbation sleeves that can help stimulate the penis, but probably the most innovative and new product out on the market for men these days is a sex toy called The Pulse. This is a product that can stimulate the penis without need for the penis to even be erect (and it also works without you having to hold it, so for people with mobility issues it is an amazing product). It works by using oscillating balls on the frenulum and can stimulate the penis to ejaculation in people who cannot achieve or maintain an erection at all. It's truly remarkable and comes in a solo toy or one you can incorporate into sex with your partner.
For Her
No Blame or Guilt
As frustrating as it can be for you to have a partner who has trouble performing, just remember it's going to be doubly, if not triply, frustrating for them. The two most important things to remember is 1. It is not your fault and 2. It is not their fault. Erectile issues can come from all sorts of factors from stress in their daily life, to medical problems, to other distracting factors. Them not being able to perform with you almost certainly has nothing to do with you. They want to fuck you. They think you're gorgeous and sexy and everything. So do not take these things personally. Sometimes just the want and need to satisfy you can be the stressful factor that makes it all disappear. The key in these situations is to be cool. Try other things. Have a massage and a cuddle. Watch some porn together. Don't get cross or angry. Don't humiliate or tease. Don't get self conscious and think it's because you're ugly or whatever. It's already going to be a stressful and possibly upsetting moment for them, so try not to make it worse.
Change Your Definition Of Sex
As we so often say in these Adult Match Maker blogs, sex is never just about penis in vagina penetration. Sex and sexual contact is everything from kissing and stroking to playing with sex toys, to dirty stories and everything fun and sexy in between. If your partner has regular issues with erections, change up your sex play. Sex doesn't always have to end in orgasm. Just the act of being together, touching and talking can be a satisfyingly sexy time.
Be Involved
Talk about it with your partner. Let him know you are supportive and there for him. Let him know that you want to help him and that it's a journey to solution you want to do together. Go with him to the doctors, or to the adult shop. Talk to professionals together and see if you can come up with techniques and methods to help. Go through the process with him. Because a lot of the time erectile issues are caused by mental stresses, just the knowledge that you are there, and that you are there for him, can do wonders to help make the situation less stressful.
14 Comments
I myself enjoy skin on skin, kissing, nibbling, rubbing, squeezing, and whatever my partners desire, then seeing them climax even before penetration.
But then again, depends on their needs, you have to know/feel the vibes and go with the flow.
I have hit 70 and had to change my approach owing to erectile "problems" but there are ways around it if your open to researching the "problem"
guess you don't think of the other people here who have issues!
Boldpromise, you might not have erectile dysfunction, but I think you have other areas of dysfunction.


text: I know I may have gotten off to a rocky start with some of you, but I have a few questions. Saw several reports today at the center. One was about "multiple tracking numbers". Had drivers names on it. My ame was on it with 2. Is this from scanning the smae package twice? The other report was about Trace. I think this is when you follow EDD. The other day the added a new developement to my route. It is between 2 developments that I am already doing, but yet it was at the Bottom of EDD on the 8,000 shelf. My trace was 89.4%. Is that good, bad or something I willnot have to worry about later on in my career. I know I am going back to part time, but the more I know now the better it will be when I am brought back, Thanks KOC

Ban Auto RacingSaturday, November 22nd, 2008
Banning car racing may seem like a crazy, unspeakable idea to a lot of Americans. They might be surprised to know that there was just such a ban in several countries back in 1955. The ban followed a horrific accident that killed 80 fans. Switzerland didn't reverse their ban for 52 years.
These days, you have to wonder whether worshiping guys that drive around in circles burning up a fair bit of fossil fuels makes much sense. Thoughts?

I Am 20 percent Sure That These Companies Were High When They Printed These:
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (Too late!)
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." (As night follows day . . .)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (But wouldn't this save me more time?)
On Boot's Children Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (One would hope.)
On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (As opposed to what?)
On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." (I gotta admit, I'm curious.)
On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (Talk about a news flash.)
How to tell if a FanFic should be Avoided:
>If the story says SonFic (usually these are mostly songs and have little to no creative writing)
>If one of the characters have suddenly become a famous singer.
>If FanFic has a summary including "This summary sucks!"...Or worse..."This summary sux!"
>Any summaries with multiple grammatical or spelling errors.
these are just opinions so chillax...

A Crime Fit For The Big Screen
God love the New York Post…my favorite trashy mag to read. This week tells of an heiress who owned a "42-room Fifth Avenue apartment, palatial estates in Connecticut and California, fabled jewels, Impressionist art, and a priceless collection of antique dolls."
Huguette Clark who lived to be 104 and seemed to be positively senile or in some kind of fantasy world. According to all claims she spent just about every waking minute either playing with or talking about dolls. So her nurse, financial adviser and other employees just start dividing her fortune up amongst themselves. We're talking one guy getting millions of dollars and five homes from his boss. By the time the old gal dies, there's nothing left for her relatives who are now sewing for some kind of mishandling, though I think cops should be prosecuting for flat out stealing. How can you determine the mental state of a dead lady? How come her family didn't force them to get her some kind of mental testing when the money started disappearing? Did they really hide it from everybody?
Reminds me of the film "A New Leaf" with Elaine May and Walter Matthau. Her servants and lawyer are all just stealing her money and living off of her and Walter Matthau comes in and cleans house. It's actually an extremely enjoyable film if you ever get the chance to rent it. I think this one could easily be a big screen comedic tragedy or at least a Lifetime movie.
Do yourself a favor go to YouTube and watch this: http://youtu.be/wW2qpcNKCy4 it's a scene from "A New Leaf," the scene that reminds me of this crime. Watch it from 9 minutes and 10 seconds in, until the end. That is exactly what happened here.

(Masterpieces of Fiction, Detective and Mystery Edition)
The ten novels that constitute the Martin Beck series represent a remarkable achievement in the realm of mystery and detective fiction. Begun in 1965 and completed in 1975, the year of Per Wahlöö's death, the books chronicle a decade in the lives of the members of the Stockholm Police homicide squad, focusing primarily on detective Martin Beck, who becomes the head of the squad by the end of the series. The nationalization of the Swedish police force in the early 1960's—an event to which Sjöwall and Wahlöö refer in Polismordaren (1974; Cop Killer, 1975) as the creation of a state within the state—led the couple to plan a series of ten books that would reflect the changes taking place in Swedish society. Using crime as the basis for their examination, they planned the books as one continuous story told in ten segments, each of which constitutes a separate novel, with characters who recur throughout the series and whose lives change as it progresses.
In choosing the crime novel as the setting for their study, Sjöwall and Wahlöö selected a medium that would allow their characters to interact with all strata of Swedish society, and the cases in the Martin Beck books involve criminals and victims who are drug addicts, sex murderers, industrialists, tourists, welfare recipients, members of the bourgeoisie, and—in a plot that eerily foreshadowed subsequent events—the Swedish prime minister. The police force in most countries, perhaps more than any other group, deals directly with the end result of social problems, both as they affect the social mainstream and as they relate to those who fall through society's cracks, and the crimes that form the plots of the Beck novels are often a direct outgrowth of existing sociological conditions.
Roseanna and The Terrorists
The arc that the series follows moves from fairly straightforward, although horrifying, murders and sex crimes to cases that increasingly reflect the growing violence in most Western societies throughout the 1960's and early 1970's. The first book in the series, Roseanna, details the squad's efforts to track down the lone, disturbed murderer of a young American tourist, and the final entry, Terroristema (1975; The Terrorists, 1976), finds the detectives attempting to thwart the plans of an international assassin during the visit of a right-wing American senator. (The fact that both characters are Americans is almost certainly intentional, as the books often make mention of the level of crime and the availability of guns in the United States, which is seen as a cautionary model of an excessively violent society.)
The decaying relationship between the police and Swedish society is depicted in the series as an outgrowth of the role the nationalized police force came to play in Sweden's bureaucratic welfare society. This position is outlined in the final pages of The Terrorists by Martin Beck's closest friend, Lennart Kollberg, who has left the force: "They made a terrible mistake back then. Putting the police in the vanguard of violence is like putting the cart before the horse." Kollberg's comment puts into words the implied criticism throughout the series of the use of police violence to combat rising social violence.
Murder at the Savoy
The source of that violence is seen by Sjöwall and Wahlöö as a by-product of Western economic systems. In the same book, another character remarks, "For as long as I can remember, large and powerful nations within the capitalist bloc have been ruled by people who according to accepted legal norms are simply criminals." In the series' sixth book Polis, polis, potatismos! (1970; Murder at the Savoy, 1971), the murder of a wealthy business executive and arms trafficker is traced to a former employee who lost his job, his home, and his family as a result of the executive's ruthless policies. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the crime has removed a despicable man from the world, although his "work" will be carried on by his equally unsavory associates. The book ends with Martin Beck unhappy in the knowledge that the man he has caught will spend years in prison for murdering a corrupt man whose callousness Beck despises. As Kollberg notes near the end of The Terrorists, "Violence has rushed like an avalanche throughout the whole of the Western world over the last ten years." The book ends with the former police detective playing the letter X in a game of Scrabble and declaring, "Then I say X—X as in Marx."
The Laughing Policeman and The Locked Room
The climate of the 1960's, with its antiwar protests and generation-based schisms, also fuels the negative view of the police. In The Laughing Policeman, Beck's teenage daughter, Ingrid, tells him that she had once boasted to her friends that her father was a police officer, but she now rarely admits it. The general mood of the 1960's, combined with the easy availability of drugs and the growing number of citizens living on social welfare rolls, places the...

In my opinion, the Riverwalk will never get fully finished. Nor will it be done in the extent that Iorio wants it to be. Since day one, I've always thought of the Riverwalk to be one of Iorio's prime pet projects. I can understand her vision of making Tampa a vital arts district, but let's face it. The Tampa Museum of Art has had countless problems, getting around downtown Tampa itself is horrendous, and Iorio's vision for a light rail system will never happen. I think that it is time that these politicians cut away the pet projects and pork spending and focus on something more productive.

Just to add, I cannot forget that Iorio and the rest of the city was "englufed" in San Antonio's (as in Texas) riverwalk, which happens to be situated along a canal-like river that is well below street level. What Iorio is trying to do is build something very similar along a river that is at street level. In my opinion, trying to build this riverwalk in an environment that is totally different than another city's is not going to work.
Say what you please, but this is just my opinion on the riverwalk. Please don't take it too personally. Thanks...

I'm all for the Riverwalk, and the money spent to build it. If we want a vital urban downtown, the Riverwalk is a must.

Yea I feel that this riverwalk is a very integral part of the whole look of DT, the whole new sense of the ever-improving DT and channelside district. Having this riverwalk will greatly increase the property values around it, as well as increase the value of the location of UT, which is another vital resource of $$$ spending in DT when these small restaurants and shops begin to pop-up. Im very surprised a private developer has not gotten together with the city and created some plan where they will fund the construction of the riverwalk, and have first dibs on the retail/shops/entertainment/restaurants in the area, possibly creating little small booths and kiosks or smaller buildings around the riverwalk and then lesseing the space??just an idea that could help finance it faster

I'm for the riverwalk if it is done well and they don't choke all hte access to DT and make it a playground for a few.
Do I contradict myself?

City May Take Riverwalk Segment Into Its Own Hands
By LINDSAY WILKES-EDRINGTON The Tampa Tribune
Published: Jun 27, 2007
TAMPA - With the future of Trump Tower Tampa uncertain, Mayor Pam Iorio has asked the Parks and Recreation Department to explore the possibility of buying the land and turning it into a park as part of the Riverwalk project.
"We want to make sure that part of the Riverwalk gets built in a timely manner," Iorio said. "The owners first have to be willing to sell and it has to be a reasonable price, but this could be a continuation of what we've already done, so it makes sense."
The city has yet to figure out how much the land on Ashley Drive would cost, Riverwalk manager Lee Hoffman said. No talks have taken place with the owner, SimDag LLC.
According to county property records, SimDag bought the land - less than a half-acre - for $16 million in 2004.
After plans for Trump Tower Tampa were announced in January 2005, developers encountered problems with the land's soil and construction costs. Now the project faces a lawsuit from Donald Trump, who seeks more than $1 million in unpaid developer fees and says he wants his name off the deal.
A SimDag spokesman could not be reached for comment, but the company issued a statement this month that says it intends to move forward with the 52-story condominium. As part of the project, SimDag promised to dedicate a 450-foot strip of land along the Hillsborough River for Riverwalk.
Even if obtaining the Trump Tower property is a long shot, Hoffman said he's excited by the possibility.
Right now, he said, there are few opportunities to add green space along the Riverwalk route, which is planned to stretch 2.4 miles along the east side of the Hillsborough River from the Channel District to Tampa Heights.
Rather than purchase the entire SimDag parcel, the city might consider buying a portion, Hoffman said.
"It's got to be enough to be worth your while, but my position would be that any green space you can get in there would be good," he said.
Parks and Recreation spokeswoman Linda Carlo said her department is exploring the possibility of getting a grant from Florida Communities Trust, which helps cities buy urban land for conservation and recreation. Those grants still would require the city to match part of the funding.
The Florida Community Trust program partially funded three other Riverwalk parks: MacDill, Fort Brooke and USF parks. Each project received grants that required the city to match 50 percent of the costs.
The maximum amount of funding the program might provide is $6.6 million.
The Riverwalk project is expected to cost about $40 million. About $16 million of that will come from public sources, and $24 million will come from private donations.
To date, five of Riverwalk's 21 segments have been completed, making up about six-tenths of a mile. It is set to be completed by October 2010.
Hoffman said he understands that because of the city's budget cuts, buying the Trump land doesn't seem like the top priority. However, if the opportunity arises and the city doesn't act, he said, similar prospects may not become available again for years.
"It's important to have a long-range view and philosophy with this," he said. "If you look at what's on the waterfront now, it changes all the time. You rarely get a chance to change it."

This is exactly what I have been expecting. The city most likely will have to build that segment on their own since the Trump Tower is dead. I'm sure this does NOT please Iorio and other riverwalk supporters.

Raining On The Riverwalk
By ELLEN GEDALIUS The Tampa Tribune
Published: Jul 13, 2007
Work continues on the Riverwalk portion at Platt Street in Tampa. While other mayors have failed to complete the project, which dates to the mid-1970s, Pam Iorio is determined to finish it.
JAY NOLAN / Tribune
Mayor Pam Iorio: Make Tampa A City Of Possibilities
Riverwalk Dream To Finally Step Out
Be Prepared To Open Your Wallets For Riverwalk
to skate, for tourists to find a neat restaurant.
That is Mayor Pam Iorio's vision of the Riverwalk, a project she embraces as an economic engine that could help transform Tampa's drab downtown into a destination point.
But lately, as the city announces layoffs and service cuts, the Riverwalk has become a lightning rod for criticism. People wanting potholes filled, laid off workers and government watchdogs question why the city is spending money on a project they perceive as a luxury, especially as they open their wallets wider to pay property taxes and insurance bills.
"Financially, there are a lot more things the city can use than that," said south Tampa resident Patty Flanagan. "That money can go to other things that can benefit the city of Tampa as a whole, not just a select group that lives near the Riverwalk and the bums at night."
That's a sentiment Councilman Charlie Miranda said he hears from his West Tampa constituents, and one shared by homeowners in east Tampa who speak with activist and former council member Frank Reddick.
"People are concerned about property taxes and insurance. In my neighborhood, it's not a priority," Reddick said.
Iorio says she hears a different message. The public wants the Riverwalk, she says, so much so that they wish it were already complete. She says the excitement is palpable, and uses this as an example: After she gave a speech recently, someone, without solicitation, handed her a check for $300.
"I can tell you I have received so much positive [feedback] about the Riverwalk," Iorio said. "I have heard complaints about every major project that is funded, but I really received very few complaints about the Riverwalk."
Piecemeal Plan
In government circles, there's a joke: What do former mayors Bill Poe, Bob Martinez, Sandy Freedman and Dick Greco, as well as Iorio, have in common?
They all tried to build the Riverwalk.
The effort started in the mid-1970s when wooden planks were used to build a walkway across the river from Plant Park. The planks eventually were removed.
In the 1980s and 1990s, mayors started assembling land for the Riverwalk. When Iorio was elected in 2003, she made the Riverwalk a priority, chose Lee Hoffman to be her point man, and hired a consultant to design a master plan. She hopes by 2010 to connect the Channel District and Tampa Heights with 2.2 miles of green parks and waterfront walkways.
A bond could have been floated to pay for the project in full, leaving taxpayers to pay off the note. But Iorio chose to build it piecemeal, as money is available. That way, she says, taxpayers won't be on the hook for the project for years to come.
In recent years the city has built a couple of Riverwalk segments, including USF Park and MacDill Park, both along the southern edge of Ashley Drive. This year, work began on the Platt Street bridge segment at a cost of $2.6 million.
Funding Formula
There's a misconception that property tax dollars are funding the Riverwalk. In actuality, no property tax money is being used. But that doesn't mean public tax money is being spared.
The city set a goal of raising $40 million, the estimated cost to complete the Riverwalk.
About $24 million of that total is to come from private donations, not tax dollars. So far, about $7.6 million in private donations have been pledged, including about $600,000 already collected. A significant portion - about $5million to $6 million - of the private sector contributions will be from private developers building along the Hillsborough River.
Public money will be used to finance the remaining $16 million, most of it coming from gas taxes. To date, about $7.5million in public money has been put toward the project, including $2 million from Gov. Charlie Crist this year.
In Hillsborough County, motorists spend about 48.5 cents per gallon on gas taxes, generating more than $11 million for the city. That money generally goes to street lighting, traffic engineering and other transportation-related projects.
In all, Iorio says, the city plans to spend about $5.6 million in gas tax money on the Riverwalk.
"For a relatively small amount of money, that's a huge return," Iorio said.
'Are You Crazy?'
But to some taxpayers, the source of the money doesn't make a difference.
Lee Campbell, who lives near Carrollwood and works downtown, is vocal about her distaste for the project.
"I don't think with the things facing the city's economy, it should be a priority," she said. "It may be nice, but it's not an imperative."
Brian Thompson, a city surveyor for four years, mentioned Riverwalk last month after learning he'd been laid off. "I feel like priorities are not in order," he said this week. "It's nice for the city to move forward, but if you have a city full of jobless and homeless, what's the point?"
Not a week goes by that Miranda doesn't hear from his West Tampa constituents about the Riverwalk. The message: "Are you crazy building a Riverwalk? I have no drainage. I have potholes."
Reddick, who is active in east Tampa neighborhood groups, fields similar complaints.
"They've shown no interest in east Tampa," Reddick said. "Most residents would like to see improved street lighting, improved sidewalks."
Supporters: Now Is The Time
Beth Leytham, the marketing coordinator for Friends of the Riverwalk, has heard the talk.
"It's a project right now that seems to be an extra," she said. "It's hard for folks to understand why it's still important to wisely invest in our future."
But she is confident the timing is right, and that the Riverwalk will pay off big in the long run.
The economic benefits will be great, with restaurants and small retail shops along the riverfront. And residents and tourists alike will be able to enjoy the Riverwalk's low-cost entertainment by renting boat slips, going for walks or enjoying open-air concerts.
Sherry Genovar-Simons, an activist in southeast Seminole Heights, also supports the project.
"You bring a lot of people into town for events," she said. "If you do not have things for them to do when they come, it makes it less attractive."
Bringing the public's attention to the river is good for the city, said Rich Brown, an environmentalist on the board of the Friends of the River.
"I definitely would think the idea of using our natural resources as a focal point of building our city's identity is a great idea," Brown said. "It's a good use of tax dollars."
But he knows not everyone is so supportive.
"Just the luck of the draw, it's happening as the state of Florida is readjusting itself after a couple of decades of living large," Brown said. "It's one of the few things that acts as a lightning rod. It used to be the art museum, and now it's being replaced by the Riverwalk.
"For most people, the river just isn't part of their lives. Why waste money downtown?"
Hoffman, the city's Riverwalk manager, occasionally gives boat tours along the Riverwalk's future path. He said his passengers often board the boat with skepticism.
"When it's this fuzzy plan - Riverwalk - it doesn't mean anything. It's putting a sidewalk in downtown," he said.
"But once you tell them the big plan, they get excited about it."
Big-Ticket Projects
Of course, the Riverwalk isn't the first and won't be the last big-ticket government project that draws a reaction from weary taxpayers.
Former Councilman Bob Buckhorn, now a political analyst, reflected on the opposition decades ago to the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. That was followed by the Florida Aquarium and the new football stadium.
Now it's the Riverwalk.
"Big projects like the Riverwalk are looked upon as unnecessary, are easy targets," Buckhorn said.
"As a result of that, it really takes politicians with guts to go out there and put the muscle behind the rhetoric, and I'm not sure that's being done."
Buckhorn wonders if the city should sell bonds to finance the project and build it all at once, rather than step-by-step.
"You've got to excite people," Buckhorn said, "and I'm not sure they've done that. Part of it is a communication problem, part of it is, it's not a priority."
The $40 million Riverwalk project is being funded in large part by private donations. On the public side, no property taxes are being used. Instead, several million dollars of gas tax money will help pay for the 2.2-mile walkway. Gas taxes can be spent on transportation-related projects that include:
Public transportation operations and maintenance
Street drainage
Street lighting
Traffic signs, traffic engineering, signals and pavement markings
Bridge maintenance and operation
Debt service on transportation capital projects, including constructing roads and sidewalks

If the Riverwalk does get finished it will bring in way more jobs than could be "saved" in the short term. We'll be down one surveyor but be able to get more conventions, sporting events, movies, public art displays, hotels, restaurants, etc.

I believe this is one of the most "responsible" acts (cutting property taxes) from a state legislature in a long time. We spend an ungodly amount of money in the local, state, and federal governments. It has gotten to the point that we spend so much, much of it is not monitored and frankly goes to waste. I say continue cutting taxes. With more money in people's pockets, I believe you will see an increase from private donors to projects such as the Riverwalk and the Art Museum, and people from "Carrollwood" will stop bitching about where their tax money is going.
Oh, by the way, I teach high school here in Tampa, so I am not a rich American trying to get out of paying my taxes.

People in Carrollwood - of whom I know a lot - don't pay for city projects. They are in the county and many of them support the downtown development.

Also, something that needs to be remembered about this particular project, though, is that people form outside the city likely won't make the trip downtown just to walk the riverwalk. They will likely go for something they will pay for while they are down there, thus in a way they are paying for it.
Especially if they gas up while in the city limits in this case, since gas tax is a major source of funding.

Currencies Market Hosts 'Lobagola' Party
Non-believers have long doubted the significance of technical strategy—the dark art of predicting movements in financial markets based on chart patterns. It's easy to see why.
Tuesday, Citigroup reported that the euro's shifts against sterling definitely looked like a "huge bearish Marabuzo" and indeed might even be a "Lobagola." It sounds like a party at Berlusconi's house. But it's not. Apparently a Marabuzo becomes a Lobagola when a rapid decline becomes a really rapid decline.
Traders at Citi's New York office get particularly excited about a nice Lobagola, we hear.
Even Francis Bray, Dow Jones' chief European technical strategist, has never heard this one. Ichimoku clouds and Fibonnacci retracements are par for the course, but Lobagolas are on a whole new level of technical nerdiness.

The case against non-topdown strategy games?
Bill_H replied to lerno's topic in Game Design and TheoryIf it's a real time strategy game (or anything not turn based, really) you could sort of cheat by adopting a 3/4s straight on view, like the old Legend of Zelda or Pokemon games. The player moves at the same speed no matter which way they are going, but objects and people are drawn from the side. Not strictly realistic if you really think about, but it looks good and seems like a possible compromise between top down and isometric.

Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Kershaw Country Club -- Moderate Course, Great Layout
|Review by: Paul Perry
|Great course, can't believe the low green fees, there are a few rough spots and 4 or so greens could use some work, but not bad at all. Fun long holes with moderate greens, and easily save yourself from certain doom when in rough or bunker. Fun course would reccomend to any Amature Golfer ( 1-4 yrs experience) but may not pose much challenge to an experienced golfer.

Emergency animal shelter workshop is Sunday
BRATTLEBORO-- The Vermont Disaster Animal Response Team will hold a special workshop in Brattleboro Sunday to train Windham County residents to be volunteers in case an emergency animal shelter has to be set up in the event of a natural or human-made emergency.
The all-day workshop will begin at 9:15 a.m. at Yankee Dog Training and Day Care at 94 Vernon St., and will be led by VDART staff. It is funded from a grant from the Department of Public Safety. The workshop is one of two that VDART is holding across the state to help better coordinate the emergency response to assist animals in the case of a disaster.
"If there is a disaster we want to make sure we have volunteers who are skilled to deal with animals during a stressful situation," said Humane Society of the United States Northeast Regional Director Joanne Bourbeau. "It is important to be trained and to have a plan in place to be able to better serve the animals."
The Vermont Disaster Animal Response Team is a team of volunteers that is working to train others in helping animals and better coordinate the state wide response to a disaster. Bourbeau said the trainers Sunday will have live animals to help volunteers understand the challenges in handling and behavior. And there will also be a focus on the steps that need to be taken to set up and emergency shelter that is safe and clean.
Bourbeau said trainers will also talk about the need to follow incident command protocol to make sure the lines of communication between the emergency shelter remains open with municipal officials, pet owners and emergency responders.
Bourbeau said The Humane Society had been addressing the need to establish a strong volunteer network to deal with animals in the event of a disaster even before Tropical Storm Irene.
But she said Irene highlighted the need for there to be trained volunteers and a robust communication network.
"It is important to have the same command structure everywhere in the state," said Bourbeau . "Local planning is an integral part of this. When local volunteers are trained they own their centers and that affects how a local community can respond."
She said the names of the people who complete the training Sunday will be entered in a state data base so that the right people can be contacted in the event of an emergency. Bourbeau also said a strong local volunteer-led animal rescue shelter can help make sure that more humans are safe during a disaster.
Pet owners will sometimes refuse to leave their animals behind, she said, but when they can be assumed that an animal shelter is available it might lead all pet owners to make the right choice when confronting an emergency.
"The bottom line is that if there is a call to set up an emergency shelter, we want to make sure we have people trained," she said. "It's important to have people who understand all the issues and know how a shelter should operate."

Portfolio ▼
The project involves a complete redesign of the site's format and color palette to give an unified and refreshing user experience. Product graphics are tailor-made to fit integrated with the website's design.
The simple grid design is used to give a sense of unity and order that the viewers are expected from a calendar. Event entries are placed on a slope to show progression of dates. The contrast of color strips are inspired from the black and white piano keys, which helps presenting information in an energetic yet official way.
Intrigued by this static, I wanted to create an ironic message to warn viewers on conserve water usage and avoid drought. A rubber duck is used to symbolize heavy water usage from bathing, while the duck is leaving behind disastrous consequences.
Powerpoint slides were used to present the raffle prizes. The same graphical theme was carried over from the posters to illustrate the revealing of winners.
The content of this journal documented several design projects I have worked on.

Best Teeth Whitening Products 2016 – Review & Guide
A beautiful smile with pearly white teeth is a goal for many people. Daily brushing and flossing, as well as regular dentist visits, will prevent gingivitis, cavities and more. To protect your teeth from discoloring and unwanted stains, there're whitening kits and products available.
To remove stains on your teeth, whitening products use bleaching chemicals. There're different teeth whitening systems that you can choose, including toothpastes, strips, trays, rinses and gels, or other products that can be obtained through your dentist. Each of the products will provide different results.
So what is the best teeth whitening product? We have reviewed the most popular and best teeth whitening products to provide you with information in your search of one that will fit your needs.
Best Teeth Whitening Systems' Reviews
GLO Science Brilliant Personal Teeth Whitening Device
GLO claims that their Brilliant teeth whitening system will make your teeth up to 5 shades whiter in just 5 days. They use an innovative technology for providing professional and long-lasting results. It was invented by a dentist Dr. Jonathan B. Levine, and it's clinically proven to deliver whitening results.
To reach the results, you need to have 4 sessions daily with 8 minutes each. Unlike many other whiteners, it will not cause you any sensitivity problems. The unique technology Guided Light Optics uses light and heat for accelerating and stabilizing whitening.
The system is really easy to use. First you need to apply the lip balm and whitening gel, which are included in the kit, onto the front of your teeth. The lip balm will keep the gel from damaging your lips. After activating the GLO controller and when it lights up, insert the attached mouthpiece, which is lightweight and relatively comfortable. Keep it on for 8 minutes, during which you can freely do whatever you like.
The whitening gel has hydrogen peroxide and is alcohol-free.
This product is a bit expensive but it has many good user's teeth whitening reviews, with the users being happy with their results.
Whiter Smile Labs Gel
Whiter Smile Labs kit is one of the top teeth whitening products among gels. It includes a whitening gel and custom-made tray kits. It's a 38% carbamide peroxide high intensity gel. For use you will need just half the amount than of other regular whitening gels. The gel also doesn't cause any gum irritation or sensitivity. The gel is thick, so it will stay on your teeth and tray, and not on your gums.
The kit also includes 2 custom lab-made trays, a box for storing them, and 5 large syringes.
It's an American made product that is FDA approved and recommended by many dentists, providing high quality and good whitening results. Within one week you will see effective results of your teeth getting around 6 shades whiter.
Crest 3D Whitestrips
Another great product for delivering teeth whitening results on a professional level are Crest 3D Whitestrips. These bleaching strips are designed for removing stains and producing whiter teeth that professional bleaching could achieve. This product is considered to be the best at home teeth whitening system by many users as it gives really good results and does so quite fast. It's one of the most effective teeth whitening systems, the results of which you can see just after a couple of treatments.
The key ingredient in these Whitestrips is hydrogen peroxide, which is the essential ingredient in all teeth whitening products.
The strips look like clear tape, but don't have any unpleasant taste. They're easily applied and comes off cleanly. They feature the Advanced Seal Technology, so they mold to the shape of the teeth.
To see the results you need to use it every day for 30 minutes and in a matter of days you can see your teeth brighten.
Rembrandt Deeply White + Peroxide
Rembrandt whitening system contains peroxide-based gel that removes stains from both on top and below the teeth surface. The kit also includes Comfytray applicators providing a more comfortable experience.
To use this whitening system first shape the applicators to fit your teeth. Then apply some gel to the bottom of the tray, and apply it to your teeth. After 20 minutes you can take it off and rinse your mouth and tray. Rest for 10 minutes then repeat the same session 3 more times. The total recommended treatment time is 2 hours. For more whitening of teeth you can repeat the treatment in a week or month.
When using the gel, it should be avoided from contact with your lips and gums, as it can cause temporary irritation.
GO SMILE Go Discover Kit
Go Smile Go Discover kit provides plenty of extras for teeth whitening. It includes 12 products for up to 2 days of treatment and products for maintaining the results.
Instead of trays this kit uses speed whitening system, toothpaste and whitening ampoules. It only provides two days of treatment but it's enough to see some results in color.
First you need the complete its speed whitening system, then use the touchup ampoules that work as erasers to give the teeth a polished look. Then to maintain the white smile you can use the AM toothpaste and lip treatment.
The toothpaste will freshen your breath and prevent cavities and stains. The lip balm will not just moisturize your lips, but also its unique tint will make your teeth look whiter.
Arm & Hammer Whitening Booster
This is one of the best whitening products of Arm & Hammer. It provides you with a solution with an easier and faster way for whitening your teeth and removing stains and blemishes.
This toothpaste is enamel-safe and also available in peroxide formula.
To use it you need to apply the Whitening Booster over your regular toothpaste and continue with normal teeth brushing.
In just a week you can see whitening results. It's convenient to use and comes at an affordable price.
Supersmile Professional Whitening System
Supersmile whitening system features a blend of Calprox, fluoride and baking soda ingredients that are really effective for teeth whitening. This system is safe and easy to use.
Calprox is the Supersmile's form of calcium peroxide. It works by dissolving the protein pellicle, which forms on the surface of the tooth and adheres bacteria, plaque and stains. The baking soda will re-mineralize the enamel and give a fresher breath.
To use apply a small amount of toothpaste and an equally small amount of whitening accelerator and brush as regular for two minutes. It's recommended to do twice a day.
A beautiful smile is important for a first impression and brilliant white teeth will do that. There're different products available and finding the best over the counter teeth whitening product can be quite difficult. But reading teeth whitening product reviews and comparing the products can help with the choice of the best teeth whitening method that would suit your needs and preference. Some of them are more effective than others. We hope that in our review of best teeth whitening products you will find the useful information for your search. You can also check our other articles on such categories of whitening products as whitening toothpaste and whitening strips or such products as Opalescence that also give effective results..

What is a PEO?
A professional employer organization (PEO), provides human resources to small businesses and their employees. These services include:
- Payroll, medical benefits and benefits administration
- Risk management consulting and compliance assistance
- Expert guidance for HR policy development and employee relations
- Recruiting and retention strategies
When you partner with a PEO, you enter what is called a co-employment agreement. Co-employment is a tri-dimensional relationship among a PEO, an employer and its employees. The PEO becomes the employer of record for tax and insurance purposes, while your company retains control of business operations and worksite employees.
Outsourcing your HR functions to a PEO like CoAdvantage helps ensure your business resources are focused on growth-oriented activities. Added HR support means you can offer a better benefits package to attract and retain valued employees. With HR experts on your side, you will more easily navigate employee and healthcare laws, reducing your risk of liability exposure.
Contact us today to find out more about how partnering with a PEO like CoAdvantage adds value to your small business and keeps you moving forward.

text: So DJI appears to have agreed to repair or replace my defective battery under warranty. They have sent me a shipping label, but it is not a hazmat label. As I understand it, the shipper (in this case me) is responsible for labeling hazmat correctly, and declaring the nature of the shipped material. Not doing so subjects one to substantial penalties, and even more massive liabilities should there be an incident. The battery in question is the TB47 that came with my Inspire and I bought it locally from a dealer, so I picked it up in person. Later I bought some TB48 batteries, over the internet, and they were shipped to me as declared hazmat. Has anyone shipped their battery to DJI using the DJI label and admitted to FedEx that the package contained a lithium battery, and had it accepted into their system? FedEx battery shipping info I am reading is here: Shipping Lithium Batteries & Dangerous Goods | FedEx Indonesia
