Let me stay with that last point for a minute–the belief that only science can answer all of our questions.
Can the numinous collapsing of all empirical religious traditions into the word "religion" (equivalent to the equally mystical collapsing of all scientific inquiry into the word "science") be justified on the basis of a prior assumption–because that's what it is–that gods don't exist?
(D)oes "subject matter" mean a certain kind of theology? Or does it mean (I think is often does in new atheist harangues) apologetics–which is unknown in many religious traditions?
Predictably, I am going to say that the best theologians–those who still mistakenly think they have a "subject matter"–are aware of the sovereignty of science over theology in terms of explaining everything from the cosmos to human origins and nature. And they have seen it this way for a long time.
Atheists, as usual, weren't quite sure what to do (about the Iraq War) because while many hated George W. Bush they hated Islam more and so–like Christopher Hitchens–they backed the wars. They were, in a phrase, paralyzed and morally invisible.
Complacency is what killed European Christianity. The fruits and comforts of the industrial revolution killed it. Not education and science; not curiosity; not Darwin's dangerous idea. Just the creeping rot of not really giving a damn about anything.
And why, between this and his seeming Enlightenment-era gravitas, he is indeed a frenemy of modern secular humanism. And, why I hope that some of my online friends see that while he can be a useful A-list ally, he's not close to a fantastic one.
UPDATE: On his latest blog post, he spells "favoUrite" the British way, too. For a native American to do this is a bit of pretentiousness, in my book.
And, per this column, he appears to pull his punches on the question of the historicity of Jesus AND the worthiness of study of whether he existed and who he was, if he did.

Central Banking, Monetary Theory and Practice
Essays in Honour of Charles Goodhart, Volume One
Edited by Paul Mizen
Chapter 5: Six practical views of central bank transparency
Adam S. Posen
Adam S. Posen 1. INTRODUCTION In the span of fifteen years, central bank transparency has gone from being highly controversial to motherhood and apple pie (or knighthood and fish and chips for a British audience). It is now an accepted broad goal to which all central banks pay at least lip service. Both the Bank of England and Charles Goodhart personally have been at the forefront of this trend, in research and in practice. Yet, like many other broad concepts in economic policy, such as 'fiscal discipline' or 'price stability', what central bank transparency actually means remains rather open to debate. As we celebrate the work of Professor Charles A.E. Goodhart, work notable for its clarity and its relevance, it is worthwhile to try to apply a similar standard to this central banking concept du jour. Recent monetary theory has been unsuccessful in providing this clarity. The bulk of today's theoretical models applied to central bank transparency – including in the formal analysis of inflation targeting – have cast the issue as whether or not a representative agent of the public can discern the central bank's 'type', wet or dry, that is soft or hard on inflation, and therefore whether it is more or less 'credible'.1 This is simply the wrong question to frame, especially in the developed economies: no one really has any doubts about the commitment of any current central banks to low inflation, and any reasons for doubt that arise there would quickly become self-evident.2 Discerning...

Senior Pastor
Kilpatrick United Brethren Church
Woodland, Michigan, United States
Kilpatrick United Brethren Church in rural Woodland, Michigan, is searching for a new Lead Pastor. Our current Lead Pastor is leaving during the spring of 2016 to follow the Lord's calling in other ministry opportunities(with our blessing and support), and we're looking for the right person to lead Kilpatrick into the future. Kilpatrick exists in order for people to discover, develop and experience the fullness of the Christian (Christ centered) life.
We're looking for someone who can provide vision, direction, and strategic leadership for our future. This person will be a team-player, working collaboratively with our KLT(Kilpatrick Leadership Team), and staff to provide purpose and oversight.
As our Lead Pastor, you will need to be focused on the ministry opportunities and possibilities in our community and region, and exercise discernment in knowing how to best make and mature disciples.
As our primary communicator, you will have responsibility to preach/teach biblical Christ-centered and Spirit-led messages that are relevant and will encourage, inspire, and motivate the church to action. You'll need to be able to communicate meaning and insight from Scripture in a way that connects with our people.
You will work with a full ministry staff, including an Associate Pastor, Administrative Assistant, Worship Coordinator, Youth Ministries Coordinator, Children's Ministry Coordinator, and Tech Coordinator. We will want you to mentor, encourage, and set the example to them through your hard work and cultivation of personal relationships.
We are a church of all ages, particularly families with young children. We are a church of nearly 300 in a rural area servicing several small communities. We have a strong, mostly lay lead small group ministry. We don't take ourselves too seriously, and love to laugh.
Kilpatrick Church utilizes a Governance Board consisting of 4 members of the congregation and the lead Pastor to fulfill the mission, vision, and oversight of the church through established Ministry values, Boundary Principles, and Accountability Principles. The Governance model places an increased role of the pastor acting as the CEO of the church, making the day to day operational decisions with all staff reporting directly to the lead Pastor.
Compensation and benefits are based on experience and will follow the United Brethren Church Denomination's compensation guidelines.
You can find out more about our church at http://kilpatrickchurch.com/
Our current Pastor will be staying at Kilpatrick Church during the Pastoral transition period (no later than June 2016), to make himself available to the new pastor to become acclimated in the Church and Community.
To apply, please send a cover letter and resume to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail to:
Attn: Barry Vezino
Kilpatrick United Brethren Church
10005 E. Barnum Rd.
Woodland, MI 48897

Well well…what do you know.. NSW and Jay-Z have come together to release a pair of Uptowns (or several versions of it) called "All Black Everything". The pack consists of 5 different pairs, each paying homage to France, USA, China, Puerto Rico and Brazil. They all share the same design but differ in material and concepts. For the USA – safari, for France – luxurious materials, Puerto Rico – breathability and comfort, China – pony hair and Brazil – patent. Plus touches are added to the heel, insole and outsole which differ from each AF1. The proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund.
Personally i think its a really good thing that they are donating the proceeds towards Shawn Carter Scholarship funds to help kids get educated, but at the same time, they could have put in more time and energy in coming up with a more creative series of Uptowns. It is dope to see a simple pair of AF1′s that you can rock on the daily and definitely runs in perfect line with the "All Black Everything" theme, but i guess i was just expecting a little bit more from this release. Hit the jump to view all images of the series.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Samsung Electronics says it is stopping production of its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones, a day after it halted global sales of the star-crossed devices.
The South Korean company said in a regulatory filing Tuesday that it has made a final decision to stop production for the sake of consumer safety.
Samsung is struggling to regain consumer trust after a first round of recalls. The company stopped selling the device after finding that even the supposedly safer replacements it was providing for recalled Note 7 phones were catching fire.
South Korean media reported Monday that Samsung's factories stopped making the fire-prone phones but Samsung insisted it was making production adjustments to improve inspections and quality control.

Need Advice for Minimalist Kit
I have some friends I go backpacking with on a fairly regular basis. Generally, our style is a moderate level of comfort with approximately 30-pound packs for overnighters, including water and other consumables. But occasionally we do a themed trip, for instance we did one in which we set a pack weight limit of under 20 pounds (to try to stretch our skills), and we did one is which we brought an entire Mexican fiesta including a whole bag of charcoal, fixins for carne asada burritos, and margaritas (to try to stretch our bellies).
Now someone in the group has had the bright idea of doing a themed overnight or 2-night trip with minimalist type survival kits --- only what you can fit in your pockets and a fanny pack.
Does anyone have any advice for me on putting this kit together? Any advice on a strategy for this kind of trip?
Obviously, I am ditching the usual sleeping bag, pad, tent (I usually use a tarp), extra changes of clothes, water filter, and the stove I usually bring.
This will be a summer trip in California. The weather is likely to be warm, and it is not likely to rain. Often we backpack in areas where a fire and even wood gathering is prohibited, but for this trip I think we will try to find a location that allows fires.
Here is what I was planning on bringing so far.
* Hat
* Wicking Tee
* LS synthetic hiking shirt with cargo pockets
* Convertible nylon hiking pants with cargo pockets
* Wicking underwear
* Merino socks
* Hiking shoes
* Shades
Carried in fanny pack and pockets:
* Knife --- Could use advice on this. For backpacking I usually carry a small multi-tool, but I want something larger for this trip.
* Fire kit --- Ferro-rod flint and steel. Cotton balls. Mini bic.
* Emergency blanket --- The kind that is a 5x7 tarp with silver on one side, not the supper thin film.
* Water container --- Was thinking of my 32-ounce plastic Nalgene, and possibly a collapsible platypus bottle. Would like to be able to store more than 1 quart at a time. May consider a metal bottle to allow it to be used for boiling, but would have to purchase. Any suggestions are welcome.
* Para cord, 50 feet.
* Compass and map.
* Light --- Either my usual headlamp, space permitting, or possibly a mini coin light.
* Duct tape.
* Sunscreen.
* Deet.
* Water purification tabs or drops.
* RI Fleece --- If I can fit it in or attach it to the fanny pack.
* Bandana.
* Mini first aid --- Probably just gauze pads.
* Whistle.
* Big heavy-duty garbage bag.
* Gallon Ziploc or two.
* Imusa cup --- This would be only if space permitted and I didnt bring the metal bottle.
* Food --- If we go somewhere where fire is allowed, maybe a dehydrated meal. Otherwise I think Ill stick with trail mix, jerky, energy bars, or other options that do not require cooking.
My main concern is whether I will be comfortable at might. Im counting on the clothing for warmth in the absence of a sleeping bag. And I figure I can roll up in the emergency blanket. Anyone have any suggestions along those lines? Anyone ever slept in one of those things?
Also, any suggestions on a brand, model or style of fanny pack? Im thinking one with a large compartment, outside pockets for the water bottle, and a method for attaching other items to the outside if they dont fit inside. Since this is probably a one-off adventure, Id prefer not to spend much.
Any advice on any part of this topic would be helpful. Thanks!
I love your idea of packing trip "themes." An unusual and very interesting and creative approach. Your mexican theme made me hungry.
I'm tempted to suggest that the Margaritas could be considered survival gear, and that the tequila could be considered multi-use (medicinal purposes, etc.), but I won't!
Concerning other "beverages," however, I notice you are thinking of only 32oz of water. Different people have different hydration needs, but 32oz would never be enough to keep me hydrated (my hydration needs may be more than yours). I'd suggest a couple of platy bottles in addition to the nalgene, and keep them filled.
The other observation I'd make is that you're thinking of a multi-tool as a knife, and a separate fire kit. How important is the fire? There are a lot of different thoughts on survival knives, but I think if you want a fire - especially a "survival scenario" fire, a good knife for batoning would be best. (I tend to think of a batoning knife as part of the fire kit.) A multi-tool or a folder won't cut that. If it's middle of summer, you might not need a cold steel trail master or a ka-bar heavy bowie, but something with a fixed blade and long enough to baton the sides off fuel wood might be very welcome.
Great packing idea, and great thread topic. I hope you'll post a trip report when you finally go, and let us know what your gear choices were!
GGervin, thanks for the reply.
I agree that tequila is a survival necessity. I'll have to see how much room I have within the pockets and fanny pack limitations set by the group, or maybe I'll just ditch my food and bring tequila instead. You can survive a long time without food...
On the subject of hydration, I agree that a quart is too little. I'd like the ability to store at least 2 liters, if not more. But I'm not sure if I'll have a good way to carry more than a liter with the fanny pack and pockets limits. I will probably bring a platy bottle. If I have room in the pack, I'll fill the platy as well as the bottle. If not, I'll at least have the platy to fill up for water at camp. I'll have to think this through to see if I can carry more water.
I also agree that the multi-tool knife is not be adequate. When I go on a normal backpacking trip I carry only a small multi-tool, and that has always been fine. But I'm not processing wood with it or doing other heavy-duty tasks. What would you say is the minimum blade size for an appropriate knife? Any suggestions on some inexpensive options for an appropriate knife?

A buddy and I just did something similar in early May. I described it in the backpacker's health and safety, survival kits thread (if I remember correctly). The theme was no fire, build primitive shelter, see how cold we get. Water was available. We each slept in a 2 oz space blanket "bag", in our clothes, equivalent to your clothes. The gear list is described there as well as how it went.
Basically, the kit we took would be what our survival kit that we take in our backpack would have in it if we carried it on a dayhike. Weather was about 65 high and 45 low. We got cold due to inactivity after eating our evening "meal" (which for me was trail mix for 24 hours) and crawled into our "bags" around 8 pm. I was fine until around midnight, and gradually my discomfort involved goose bumps and shivering, but we stayed below stage 1 hypothermia.
Our theory was that if our survival packs had too much in them, they wouldn't be packed as often on day hikes.
I later equipped a fanny pack similarly that I keep in my car, for impromptu day hikes with my wife, with a 2 person emergency blanket (5x8, 3 oz). I plan to do a similar hike/overnighter with that, rather than my backpacking survival kit. The daypack has slightly smaller/lighter versions of some of the gear, like the knife and the flashlight and the windbreaker.
A deviation from the above "what I would normally take on a day hike" rule was that I took 16 oz of trail mix - I doubt I would have more that 4 oz normally, and would have gotten hungry on the 600 calories over the 24 hour period. We're thinking of limiting our food on the next experiment.
Specific gear differences:
1. I settled on a Mora 611 knife for the survival kit and a lockback folder for the fanny pack kit.
2. No cup
3. 32 oz Nalgen plus same size Platypus
4. No deet
5. No fleece
6. No garbage bag
7. different emergency blanket as described above
8. quart ziplock bag
9. no dehydrated meals - in a survival situation, cooking is a luxury that may not be possible
10. Comfort is also a luxury. Guaranteed comfort is in your regular backpack. Allow enough time to make yourself as comfy as possible. Insulation and padding from the ground is important as well as a windbreak between your emergency blanket and the elements - wind hitting the blanket will press it against your body and steal heat. the windbreak can be as little as a vertical rock or large tree trunk or pile of compacted brush. I like at least a lean-to.
11. I usually carry my water bottle in a water bag strapped to my pack - in this case it hung from my belt.
12. Don't worry about a pack. You will have so little it can go in a messenger bag or a large purse. The daypack in my car isn't very large, or it would be too bulky to want to take on most of my day hikes.
Sounds like a great time!
Your list looks pretty good. It also sounds like you're pretty experienced; posts like these concern me sometimes, though, as all-too-often, folks have a fun idea and want to go for it, but don't yet have the good experience necessary to make a minimalist trip successful (and fun). So, I won't assume that you're totally experienced, but if you are, forgive me - it is better to be safe than sorry, as they say!
Can you tell us the kind of environment in which you'll be doing your hiking? How far out will you be? The nearest good water source?
For a one or two nighter, water and shelter (warmth/protection from elements) should probably be the two biggest concerns. As you contemplate how you'll carry your water, take into consideration the wait time for pills/drops; sometimes two containers is prudent, as one is ready to drink and the other has the water and chemicals doing their thing together over a few minutes or over a few hours. I agree that if you're going to boil water, you'll need something appropriate - a stainless water bottle does well and is obviously multi-use, as you can also carry water in it (as opposed to a cook pot). I have one that I've painted with high-heat BBQ paint, which supposedly makes it absorb heat better, but definitely makes the fire-soot easier to clean off (the pliers on the multi-tool make a great pot grabber). If you'll be hiking several miles, two containers, at least, will be necessary - as suggested, that way you can drink from one,
If you're doing the camping in the Sierras, I'm sure you're aware that the weather can and does change quickly. I can't count how many times I've went to bed with wonderfully clear skies only to wake up to have to quickly get under my tarp, or put the rain-fly over my tent. Plenty of minimalists use a small tarp and IMO, it would not take away from your themed trip; indeed, it might make it a smarter trip to take. Even some of the
most extreme minimalist travelers went prepared. Outdoor Product's 5x7' tarp is only $10, holds up rather well, and packs quite small. If you don't need it, cool, even better. 'But,' if it rains, you'll be cold, wet, even with a trash bag. As you also know, I'm sure, a lean-to setup would not only keep the rain off, but will also help bounce back some heat from a fire. This is something to really keep in mind if you're not going to pack any more clothes or carry that fleece. Convertible pants and a poly wicking shirt will provide little insulation, especially if you get wet or the wind picks up. If you're bent on leaving behind the tarp/sleeping bag, at least consider packing another layer for your top and bottom. Personally, I'd only trust an space/emergency blanket as a ground cloth, but if you're confident in the durability of that tarp/blanket thing you have, then good enough.
Most of this, of course, is assuming you'll be significantly above sea level, in the mountains (or on/near the coast at any level). If you'll only be in the hills at a few-thousand feet, your emergency blanket should be enough if the weather holds; a tea-light candle between your legs with your blanket wrapped around you will keep you warmer, just in case (but don't set yourself afire!).
A decently built small-medium sized fixed blade should do OK for camp chores and minor wood processing. My go to knife is an Esee Izula. It's light, small, but is tough as nails. I can do fairly delicate work with it and process wood; for bigger pieces of wood that I 'must' process, I make a wedge with the Izula, then use the wedge to baton.
It's In The Bag Man
Here are some good options for light weight shelter.
Emergency Medical makes a line of very light weight "space blanket" products you should check out.
They aren't like the old mylar noise maker that ripped to shreds your dad used while grooving in the back country.
This new line of stuff is under the "heat sheet" moniker.
It' s made of a metalized polyethylene material that' s much more durable and less noisy than mylar.
Their emergency blanket that weighs 2.5 oz. is $4.
The survival blanket weighing 2.88 oz, about 20% larger, goes for $6.
There is also an emergency bivi sack that' s 3.8 oz at $16.
[By the way, I get no kick back for promoting their products]
They all come in Look At Me blaze orange so, it's not stealth camp friendly
but it does show black after dark.
Then your buddies can stumble over you in camp if they didn't bring their flashlights.
The good news is if your buddy's nightly prat fall does any damage to your sleeping gear it's easily patched with duct tape.
EM also makes the Thermal Bivi Sack that weighs a mere 6.5 oz.
It' s construction is more robust with a rip stop polyethylene material.
The bag is still very light weight and can be used repeatedly.
It packs into a small sil nylon stuff sack that takes up little space.
To help control condensation the bag has features the less expensive bag doesn' t. It has a screened foot vent, a slit up the side that closes with velcro fasteners and a slightly fuzzy texture on the inside that soaks up some moisture.
At $33 it' s high end for a cheap (read frugal) guy like me.
More info on these products can be found on the PB Podcast with Adventure Medical Kits #39.
I have the older version of the Thermal Bivi Sack that weighs about 1/3 more then the newer version and cost $25 eight years ago.
Over those eight years I've used the bivi many times every spring and fall as a compact, ultra light alternative to a heavier and bulkier sleeking bag.
When using the bag I wear a set of light long underwear, nylon hike pants, wool socks, wool shirt and fleece beanie comfortably in weather down to 40*.
Once, in April on the AT near mount Rogers, VA, the thermometer bottomed at 15*.
I was wearing the same clothing plus fleece pants and a fleece jacket.
It was the longest, chilliest night I ever spent in the woods and in the wee hours I woke to find frost on the bag.
A repeat of that night I never hope to see but I "survived" to boast about it.
It's vitally important when using these products to ABSOLUTELY NOT wrap yourself up tightly and cacoon in them.
You MUST "wear" them quite loose to get adequate venting or wake up with your clothing extremely damp.
Even with good venting there might be some surface moisture on your clothes when waking.
Body heat will dry surface dampness from synthetic clothing in about 20 minutes or less after getting out of the bag.
Here' s a tip for using a blanket type set up.
Your feet will stay much warmer sleeping in your shoes.
Be sure to change into dry socks or dry them by the fire before hitting the sack (so to speak).
If my shoes are clean I'll even wear them inside the bivi sack.
As far as the knife goes.
I' ve made plenty of fires under all kinds of conditions with nothing more than a standard " boy scout" type swiss army knife.
Check out my post (#18) under "Building a fire in cold, wet, weather without pre-made starters" to see how it's done.
Consider using a standard nylon poncho it does double duty as a shelter and rain gear.
For chord I use braided mason line.
Make sure you get the BRAIDED line as the twisted line unravels easily (unless you want thinner pieces of line).
It's incredibly strong, light weight, inexpensive and 50' takes up little space in your pocket or pack.
You can pick up 500' for about $8 at your nearest big box home improvement store.
Also, consider taking some sort of light jacket or sweater.
By my rules it's not cheating if it' s tied around your waist and not actually in your pack.
After all, it's still on your person...yah catch my drift.
But it occurred to me while thinking about your thread today that you should be careful about where you plan to go for fire building. A lot of land low enough for legal campfires will be dry enough to have a fire ban in effect throughout the summer. A ticket could put a real damper on the outing.
Richwads, thanks for the reply.
I was not present for the details when my buddies started planning this thing, but my understanding is that the idea is the same as your trip --- spend a night outside using only what would be in your survival kit for a dayhike. Most experienced hikers carry some variation of the "10 essentials," but what would it be like to actually have to rely on only that kit? My understanding is this trip is basically a way to test out the kit under controlled conditions.
Of course, I'm already trying to "game" the test a bit. First, I'm upgrading the emergency blanket --- I usually only carry the 2-ounce mylar kind, but for this I'm upgrading to the heavier tarp. I'm planning on carrying a larger knife than my usual multi-tool. I'm trying to figure out how to carry more water than I usually have for a dayhike. And there are a few other things that I've thought about bringing that are more than I usually carry on a dayhike.
I'll have to get details about the ground rules from my friends, but at this point, all I have heard is that your entire kit is supposed to fit in your pockets and a fanny pack. Today at a surplus store, I saw an Army fanny pack that was pretty large, and it would be possible to add 2 1-quart canteens to the belt and have a truly luxurious "survival kit." It even has a couple of compression straps, so I could sling a good amount of stuff outside the pack. I'll have to find out if that would be a gross violation of the spirit of the trip.
Thanks again for posting. It's good to know that other people who have perfectly good backpacking gear occasionally decide to intentionally leave it all behind and go for what is sure to be an uncomfortable night in the woods. I'll be able to explain to my wife that it is not just me and my friends.
Ha ha! Yes, I've seen posts like this that have concerned me too! I would say that I and the other guys are experienced backpackers, and we are fully capable and comfortable using our normal backpacking gear. This is a different kind of trip though, because the gear is not the same, and we are not necessarily experienced bushcrafters or survivalists. But I'm confident we won't do anything grossly stupid!
I don't think the location is settled yet. We always plan our trips to have decent water sources. I doubt we will plan to hike very far, just a few miles. The main point is to test the minimalist kit, not hike a long ways. Whenever I take a new backpacker out, I always plan on an easy bail-out option in case it is not going well, and I think we'll try to do the same for this trip.
I agree on the two-container strategy. If it seems like 1-liter would be enough to get from the trailhead to the camp site, I might just "camel up" before hitting the trail, bring one full container, and bring a second platy bottle rolled up in the pack. Then I'll have a 2-liter capacity at the camp. If l liter will not be enough for the trail, then I'll need to cary 2-liters from the trailhead.
The location is not settled yet, but I'm thinking it probably will not be a Sierra trip this time around. Outside of the Sierra, weather reports in CA are pretty reliable, and summers tend to be dry and warm. If it looks at all dodgy, we might postpone the minimalist experiment. Or if we do go for it and precipitation is possible, I do have a tarp that I could add in. I'm definitely bringing the fleece --- I will find a way to carry that within the rules of the trip.
I got an inexpensive Mora today. Don't actually know the model. I think it will be fine for this trip, but if I were getting into this kind of camping on a routine basis, I'd want something beefier.

I've seen the new "heat sheet" styles in the stores, but I've never seen one out of its packaging. Is it really more durable? I'm hoping they are. I went for the metalized tarp because I thought the old style space blanets were far too flimsy.
I am interested in seeing this bivy thing in action sometime. Its one of those things they never want you to unroll at the store, because it doesn't go back into its packaging as well as it came out. At 33 bucks, I'm a bit reluctant to buy it on spec. It's good to know you've had it 8 years and it is holding up.
I've heard that same report about basting in your own juices inside the oven bag. My plan was to wrap up in the blanket/tarp and vent it frequently. It also has grommets, so I would be able to loosely lace it into a kind of bag pretty easily --- but I'd have to bear in mind the need to vent it.
Good tip on wearing the shoes.
I'll check the post out. I usually have luck with the ferro rod (but not necessarily in cold, wet, weather...)
Thanks for all the info, Tonto.
Sounds like a fun challenge
Like what was asked already: Where in Cali are you planning this as it makes a big difference at the coast, the sierras, central valley, high or low desert and how often you will have water sources ???
I would take two platys both 2L and before you go take a 3 foot section of 2-3mm cord or para cord or even 1/4" flat cord and tie the two ends and attach it to the finger hole on the platy so you can carry them over your shoulder or around your neck.
I have used a survival blanket, they will help a ton but you tend to get clammy so don't wrap your self up like a burrito
Now if you can have a fire I would rather use a lean to tarp to hold the heat of the fire in so you will not need the mylar blanket, now this means being able to wake up every 0:30 to 1:00 to make sure the fire does not go out and keep some wood where you can reach it to keep the fire going.
Be Safe and have fun

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) September 11, 2009 -- "We are looking for some good trends to develop over the final third of 2009" said Phil Seaton Head of research and technical trading systems development at LS Trader. âOur research shows that markets tend to have 2 phases, trending and consolidating, and that after a prolonged period of one there is an increased likelihood of a prolonged period of the other to follow. Last year we had some huge trends across many markets but this year has been a very choppy and relatively trendless year so far. â
One of the best performing markets over the summer has been the stock markets, which have racked up huge gains since the March lows. However, a look at trading volume shows that although the markets may be rising, major fund money has not been involved much in the move as volume is light. If and when fund money does arrive, we may see this push the markets even higher or lead to a steep sell off. Either way, we are likley to see some movement.
Users of technical trading systems, especially trend following systems will likely have experienced a tough year so far due to the high volatility and brutal consolidations present in so many markets this year. This often leads to fakeout moves knows as whipsaws, which means a market briefly moves out of a trading range and attracts buyers, only to reverse as soon as the technical trader buys and the market falls back within the trading range, usually leading to the technical trader liquidating his position for a loss.
Phil Seaton added that âOver the summer we have seen light trading volume and low liquidity in several markets and we expect this may change from early September as the fund and money managers return to the markets after the summer. This may well lead to breakouts and strong trends from the current consolidating phase present in many marketsâ.

Dell Computer Essay, Research Paper
Company Summery
Dell Computer Corporation was established in 1984 and today ranks among the world s largest computer systems companies. Dell pioneered the concepts of selling personal computer systems directly to customers; offering build-to-order computer systems; and providing direct, toll-free technical support and next-day, on-site service. The company designs and customizes products and services to end-user requirements, and offers an extensive selection of peripherals and software.
Dell s complete range of high-performance computer systems include: Dell Dimension and OptiPlex desktop computers, Latitude notebook computers, and PowerEdge network servers. The company s products and services are sold in more than 140 countries and territories to customers extending from major corporations, government agencies and medical and educational institutions to small businesses and individuals. The company employs approximately 11,000 people. Headquarters are located in Round Rock, Texas, with manufacturing facilities in Austin, Texas; Limerick, Ireland; and Penang, Malaysia.
Dell Computer's business strategy is centered around its direct business model and customer-focused initiative aimed at delivering the best customer experience through direct, customer relationships, cooperative research and development with technology partners, custom-built computer systems and service and support programs tailored to customer needs. Dell believes that this approach provides it with several competitive advantages. The approach eliminates the need to support an extensive network of wholesale and retail dealers, thereby avoiding typical dealer mark-ups; avoids the higher inventory costs associated with the wholesale/retail channel and the competition for retail shelf space; and reduces the obsolescence risk associated with products in a rapidly changing technological market. In addition, direct customer contact allows the Dell Computer to maintain, monitor and update a database of information about customers and their current and future products and service needs, which can be used to shape future product offerings and post-sale service and support programs. This direct approach, combined with the company's efficient procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes, allows the company to bring relevant technology to its customers faster and more competitively priced than many of its competitors.
Company History
The company was plagued by management changes during the mid-1980s. Renamed Dell Computer, it added international sales offices in 1987. A year later it started selling to government agencies and added a sales-force to serve larger customers. That year Dell went public in a $34.2 million offering.
Dell tripped in 1990, reporting a 64% drop in profits. Sales were growing, but so were costs, mostly because of Dell's efforts to design a PC using proprietary components and RISC chips. Also, the company's warehouses were oversupplied. Within a year Dell turned itself around by cutting inventories and coming out with eight new products.
Dell entered the retail arena by letting Soft Warehouse Superstores (now CompUSA) in 1990 and office supply chain Staples in 1991 sell its PCs at mail-order prices. Also in 1991 Dell opened a plant in Limerick, Ireland.
In 1992 Xerox agreed to sell Dell machines in 19 Latin American countries. That year Dell sold a new line of PCs through Price Club (now Price/Costco). Dell opened subsidiaries in Japan and Austria in 1993 and began selling PCs through Best Buy stores in 16 US states.
The computer maker abandoned retail stores in 1994 to refocus on its mail-order origins. The company took a $40 million charge to retool its troubled notebook computer line and later that year released its Latitude notebook to general acclaim. The company also introduced a line of servers.
In 1995 the firm offered Pentium-based notebooks, and hastened the interest in its desktops by cutting prices and releasing a dual-processor PC. The following year Dell ramped up its efforts in the Asian computer market with new mail-order service in Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore; a new Asia/Pacific Customer Center in Malaysia; and direct-sales operations in South Korea and Taiwan.
In 1997 Dell and Toronto-based Newcourt Credit Group formed Dell Financial Services, a joint venture that will provide financing for Dell customers. That year Dell also announced plans to enter the market for engineering, analysis, and design computers called workstations. Dell built up its consumer business in 1997 by separating that operation from its small-business unit and beginning a leasing program for individuals.
The Dell Direct Model
Dell's award-winning customer service, industry-leading growth and financial performance continue to differentiate the company from competitors. At the heart of that performance is Dell's unique direct-to-customer business model. "Direct" refers to the company's relationships with its customers, from home-PC users to the world's largest corporations. There are no retailers or other resellers adding unnecessary time and cost, or diminishing Dell's understanding of customer expectations. Why are computer-systems customers and investors increasingly turning to Dell and its unique direct model? There are several reasons:
· Price for Performance. By eliminating resellers, retailers and other costly intermediary steps together with the industry's most efficient procurement, manufacturing and distribution process Dell offers its customers more powerful, more richly configured systems for the money than competitors.
· Customization. Every Dell system is built to order. Customers get exactly, and only, what they want.
· Service and Support. Dell uses knowledge gained from direct contact before and after the sale to provide award-winning, tailored customer service.
· Latest Technology. Dell's efficient model means the latest relevant technology is introduced in its product lines much more quickly than through slow-moving indirect distribution channels. Inventory is turned over every 10 or fewer days, on average, keeping related costs low.
· Superior Shareholder Value. During the last fiscal year, the value of Dell common stock more than doubled. In 1996 and 1997, Dell was the top-performing stock among the Standard & Poor's 500 and Nasdaq 100, and represented the top-performing U.S. stock on the Dow Jones World Stock Index.

Earlier in the week Drake fired off some lyrical shots on the track 'Charged Up' aimed at Meek Mill, who tired to diss stating Drizzy didn't write his own lyrics.
Drake returns with another murderous track titled 'Back To Back' going even harder at Meek Mill, who has yet to respond. Guarantee you will play this diss record back to back, I promise. Drake goes so far in, I don't even think Meek can recover. Have a listen below.

This cover is available as a limited-edition 18″ x 24″ print in the store!!
A very special "THANK YOU!!!" to Mr. R's class for letting me speak with you all today! I was impressed with your wonderful questions, talent, and enthusiasm! You made me feel so happy and honored to be there, and I feel very lucky to have met you all!!
I've been reading A Fine and Private Place by Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn. My psychologist recommended it after we spoke about my dead-but-kinda-not dreams, saying it had much the same feel. It's not the rhythm of books I usually read, and it's not a rip-roaring page-turner that I can't put down, but there's something very…whole…about it. Something that feels very empty and that makes it feel complete. Which is a very odd feeling to try to describe, and I've done a terrible job even here, but it has a good feel to me. Human. It feels very human.
It captures the oddities of behavior so well. How a stranger can say something that sets us off, but we don't know it, and it trying to get out of that bad mood we actually just keep trundling down the well-worn path of that pattern. How we can cling to what we know, and tell ourselves that we're mightier for it, and then later realize it was because we were scared all along and it was easy to feel big when we were somewhere comfortable. But the book doesn't pass judgement on that feeling. It observes it without malice, and I find myself developing a fondness for these characters in those moments that is a happy melancholy. "I can relate, brother," I think with a sad smile, "And it's okay. It's okay to be human. We both are."
It's a very simple book, but it has a lot to say, in such a gentle way that you don't realize until later that you'd learned something. The first day I started to read it, after I put it down I felt this rise of feeling, something a little like grief, like I was mourning something, but had forgotten what had been lost. And after that, I was able to figure out what my dead-but-kinda-not dreams had been about.
In a way, it's a healing book. I hope one day my own work can provide the same service. I'll get there. I know I will.
What stories have been healing ones for you?

How do I add users to my organization's account?
How do I post a comment to the Connexions Blog?
Where do I find my Social Media Reports?
How is ds-connex different from Donor Drive, Kintera or First Giving?
Exclusive Purpose
We are family not a vendor. We are a member of the Down syndrome community and the ds-connex strategy is far more than offering a fundraising solution. We developed our holistic strategy after nine months of research and working directly with NDSS. We believe that building a strong community through shared knowledge, creating national outreach through social media, and developing our own fundraising solution can lead to more awareness, acceptance, and advocacy of Down syndrome across the nation. We offer to assist every location across the country, no mater how large or small.
Our fundraising software Stride, was created exclusively for Buddy Walk® events based on its four year history with Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio. We took the time to visit Buddy Walk events in 2013 as well as solicit their input for creating the best fundraising tool that meets the needs of the Buddy Walk.
Extensive Year-Around Support
We have team members with experience as both walkers and team captains and can relate to your questions and provide clear, easy to understand advice. Fundraising tools provided by many vendors can be cumbersome and hard to understand because the terminology is generic for all and custom for no one.
We support Buddy Walk event coordinators with limited resources by offering to set up your Buddy Walk® event including uploading photos, creating banners, and customizing forms for your local event. We do not charge additional fees for this support.
We have develop extensive training materials in the form of online manuals and tutorials specifically designed for the Buddy Walk. We offer training to your team captains how to effectively use Stride.
No Buddy Walk Too Small
We want to work with all Buddy Walks regardless of size. We currently are working to bring on board a first year Buddy Walk® from Scottsboro, Alabama with a goal to raise $10,000. Under the FAQs on the Donor Drive website they say that the typical non-profit they can provide the most benefit is raising $150,000 or more per year.
More Effective Results
Our approach to fundraising involves more than just a great fundraising tool, we also provide Social Media advice to engage a larger audience of participants and donors. We will take the time to help you implement a customized plan and show you tips and techniques to manage the process.
Fees and Merchant Account
We don't charge a setup or annual fee for the use of Stride. Our system uses your merchant account allowing all donations to be deposited into your account immediately.
Community Driven Enhancements
Local Down syndrome offices no longer need to worry about expensive customization fees. Each year the community of Stride users are encouraged to submit ideas and features that will enhance the participant's experience. The cost of all enhancements are funded by the Wells Foundation.
What features of Stride are different?
Stride is an online fundraising solution originally developed for the Down Syndrome of Central Ohio by GroundWork group to assist with the Buddy Walk event. The Wells Foundation funded the expansion of the solution to be used by all Buddy Walk locations nationwide. The solution has been completely customized for the sole purpose of engaging participants and donors to support your local Buddy Walk. Stride is exclusively for our Down Syndrome community and not offered to any other nonprofits. Each year Stride will add more capabilities based on the feedback from users at no cost.
Unique features of STRIDE
Easy to customize Buddy Walk registration page including rotating pictures, banner, and sponsor logos.
Visually appealing supporting the culture of the Buddy Walk celebration.
Each feature such as registration fees can be activated or deactivated by the event coordinators based on local event policies.
Reduced time to configure your event since Stride is loaded with Buddy Walk default text for waivers, registration and donation receipts, team captain bio and other forms.
Cart System
Our unique Cart System allows participants to order hats, calendars, bandabouts etc. at time of registration check out. Up to twenty items including photos can be uploaded with pricing information. Stride reports will keep track of total amounts sold by each item.
Registration Process is Simple
Walkers can add multiple registrants, select from cart items and add a donation in one transaction. Walkers will appreciate the one time entry of their credit information to complete all these transactions.
Donation Process is Simple
An individual has the option to donate to multiple walkers, teams or make a general donation at one time. Those needing to make multiple donations will also appreciate the need to only enter their credit information one time.
Team Communications
Buddy Walk team captains have predefined emails to communicate with all or selected team members and donors. These emails will simplify the communication process, remind team members of the goal and team logistics.
Payment Processing by Team Captains
Buddy Walk team captains can reduce the efforts of event coordinators by entering their own cash and check donations. All entries are marked as pending until approved.
Processing Fees
Donors will have the option to pay for processing fees allowing 100% of the donation to be given to the Buddy Walk.

Do I deserve second life
I am mom of two beautiful kids who make me complete with out husband, we are are not formally separated. My husband is abusive person who does not connect with me emotionally , it all about money and each time me pulls be i feel i am being raped. 14 years of life is all wasted other than having lovely kids. I am considering separation, my husband visit India once in a year and never bothered to take us with him. I need to be excellent maid from cum wife for him. I am at witts end, he is not ready to give divorce. from last 14 years i am in touch with my close friend who proposed me for marriage before i could get married for husband, due to parental pressure we had to get married to different person and moved on( He liked me and never into any relationship), all this year he being married use to support me and help me emotionally. He too got separated from his wife and he is stays in USA and even now he is asking if he can ask my parents for marriage. I am scared , i have two kids and i cannot accept new relationship though i respect him a lot and i feel incomplete without him. These days i started thinking about him a lot, even though we talk everyday we have never crossed out limit then talking about various issue. I am scared to think if i deserve one more life. he will keep me happy and we have know each other more than 15 years. He promised to be good father to my kids and he is too has one girl child. even after getting married many time he asked why my parents rejected him and me too. there was silly misunderstanding from both the parents. I feel being mother of 2 kids is all stopping me for second chance in life. My husband wants me to return all the money he spend for me and kids in last 14 years in return for divorce. What should I do..totally lost

Re: Do I deserve second life
Hi @Diva1909,
Getting seperated from your husband and getting remarried are two different things.
From your description I am not able to make out how long you are living alone with kids, your husband being abroad. If its from the start of the marriage then its really a very long period and you better decide on next steps soon.
For issues with your husband, first discuss with your husband on what is his expectations on you? Why he has not taken you and kids with him? In case he is in a country where it is not advised to have family along, then ask him to relocate to India or other countries where you can all be together.
Tell him that you need his companionship to share your feeling/emotions and difficulties you face in bringing up kids alone.
Emphasise that, for kids it is important that they have both their parents with them. I believe your kids might be in their early teens or about to enter their teens, in that age they surely need fathers guidance along with mothers affection. Issues/rifts between parents with affect kids mindset.
If you all are together the problems with your husband might come down.
In case you have already discussed these with your husband and still you see no sign of positive change then proceed on the way which you think is better for you.
Its really good to know that your friend is ready to accept you and your kids in his life. But first decide about conitnuing on your married life or seperating from your husband. He asking for a financial settlement is just to put you off; if you can prove that he is abusive, he would end up having to pay alimony to you.
At last, every one deserves to lead a happy life and change their path at any point of life until it does not affect others without justice.
Best wishes for your future.

Re: Do I deserve second life
Hi @Diva1909
Along with the suggestions of Bhargavi in the above post, you may follow the below suggestions too.
If you had been talking about divorce for a longer time to your husband, then it is natural for him to avoid you . ie., this may be one of the reason for him not to visit you often or take you and children along with him, due to frustration.
Once you got married to someone else then you should never have any close contact (even the intimate talks, though it may be about your feelings and nothing else) with the person whom was about to marry you or the one who was in love with you.
This will surely create a rift in your current married life. You will start comparing between these two men, as it is in your case now.
No Judge or Court will never accept your husband's demand of you returning his money and will surely reject it. Instead, it is his duty to give money as Alimony for you and your(his) children for their future, whichever the case may be.
Now, coming to your current situation, you can ask your husband to live along with you and your children and forget the past happenings.
As you have said, You should now worry about your children only.
They must be in their teens now.
This is a very important stage in their life in which they may not accept a New father all of a sudden. This change may affect their coming years. Even if they do not tell you openly, they may be affected mentally.
So, my suggestion is take the help of your Parents and your In-laws to bring back your husband and live with you and children.
If there is elder's intervention, the situation will surely change.
If suppose (in the extreme case) you are able to find out that your husband is having another family in his place (this also might be one of the reason for him not to live with you) then you can immediately file for a divorce. For this please take the help of a suitable, good , preferably a Lady Lawyer. You can get the divorce through mutual consent and also in the Expartite method too. The lawyer may guide you suitably.
Then you can make your children understand the current situation and ask their opinion about your marriage with your friend.
We pray for your peaceful married life.

Re: Do I deserve second life
First you clear one issue. Do u really want the divorce? Than proceed with that. Approach the court and you do not have to pay him a dime , Instead he will give you remuneration if he is hold wrong.
Do not try to have two birds in vision, one in hand and one in the bush. Do not plan emotions. If I divorce then I have someone to be with funds is wrong. Sort out issues give priority. If u like u can still meet the other guy. But understand you are not a teenager to feel like this. Be firm and decide what is right
