Háry János
In the village of Nagyabony, the regulars gather at the inn to hear the aged veteran János Háry tell his stories. The judge, the student and a few farmers sit down to sip wine and listen to the old man's stories, which many of them take with more than one pinch of salt.
Adventure I: Háry stands guard on the Austrian frontier. The Austrian border guard refuses to allow anyone to cross over from the other side, including Marie Louise, the daughter of Emperor Franz, and her retinue – with Baron Ebelasztin among them, as well as the coachman Marci, driver of the imperial coach. Háry, together with the other Hungarians, pushes the guardhouse into Austrian territory.
Adventure II: In Vienna's Burghof, Háry succeeds in taming Lucifer, the most unbreakable steed in the imperial stables. As a reward, Marie Louise gives him a violet. Baron Ebelasztin, stricken with jealousy, exercises the authority given to him by Napoleon to present the Emperor of Austria with a declaration of war.
Adventure III: Hussars are encamped below Milan castle. Napoleon attacks, but his forces fall before a single wave of Háry's sword. Napoleon himself is taken prisoner. Marie Louise arrives: she wants Háry for her husband instead of Napoleon. Örzse appears, and is unwilling to part with her betrothed.
Adventure IV: In the Viennese court, Háry and Marie Louise are getting ready for their wedding. The little princes tell Háry what they've learned in school. The court marches in. Háry doesn't want Marie Louise's hand or a princely title. Instead he wants to return to Nagyabony, the village of his birth, together with Örzse.
Epilogue: in the inn at Nagyabony, Háry reaches the end of his story, which relates how the lovers held a big wedding and lived happily together until poor Örzse passed away. This meant that no witness remained who could verify Háry's tale. But none was needed, either, for "no one on earth is as valiant/as our Uncle Háry was!"

NHL Game Night: 12-31-11 Hurricanes at Lightning
.500 to end 2011. Now the real climb begins.
Mathieu Garon allowed 2 goals on 26 shots for the win. I can't emphasize enough how impressed I am with the way he shrugged off the soft goal in Colorado. I hate to keep bringing that up, but it speaks to the fact Garon is a veteran and knows how to handle adversity, and that's critical for a team in the situation the Lightning is in.
First Period
TB Stamkos (24), (St. Louis, Downie), 3:22
CAR Faulk (2), (Bowman, Staal)(PP), 16:12
Second Period
CAR Harrison (3), (Staal, McBain)(PP), 4:29
TB Stamkos (25), (St. Louis, Downie), 8:17
Third Period
TB Stamkos (26), (St. Louis, Malone)(PP), 0:43
TB Purcell (7), (Malone, Clark), 1:05
TB Downie (6), (Malone, Pyatt), 6:51
Steven Stamkos, Martin St. Louis, and Steve Downie were the game's three stars. Not much of a surprise to see two great players like St. Louis and Downie step up and do what they do best. Congrats to St. Louis on his 500th assist, too. But, the straw that has stirred the drink these past two games has been Downie. I speculated most of the first half of the season whether he was hurt because he's looked a bit stiff and a step slow, but he's been my #1 star of the past two nights. Yeah, he looks like Charlie Manson, but he has an amazing skill set as a playmaker and as a finisher, too. He and Purcell coming to life in the second half are prerequisites for making the playoffs.
Dominic Moore was robbed of a goal that would've made it 6-2. He so clearly did not interfere with Cam Ward and then Ward proceeded to mount him like a rodeo bull? I sat there in amazement at how Moore and Lecavalier possibly could get calls on that play because they did NOTHING illegal. It looked like a case of the refs taking pity on Carolina, I think. Kudos to Bobby Taylor for correctly pointing out those calls threw into question whether that referee crew has the intelligence to organize a one car parade. After tonight, I would cast my vote with the nays.
What the Lightning need to understand is that tonight's win was just the prelims. This road trip through Canada is the real challenge for this team, and they cannot afford to fall flat on the road. So they need to have swagger and confidence, but recognize they need to work hard to back it up, or this home stand was for naught.
J.T. Wyman had 2 hits in 10:31. Solid game.
Blair Jones Had 1 hit in 10:04, but was slightly more effective in some shifts with Tyrell and Pyatt where he got some puck retrieval help.

Cluster, Installation 2014
paper, perlon threads, sinus tones, electronics | The installation consists of paper sheets of various sizes suspended on perlon threads. They form a cluster that both condenses and disperses in the exhibition space. Pure tones are transmitted to the objects through tactile transducers attached in the mounting of the objects. The resonations become visible as standing waves in the perlon threads, which lead to the individual objects. Because the objects are hung at varying heights, they resonate at different pitches. The tones form quiet acoustic spaces around the individual objects. In approaching the objects and investigating them with the ears, an intimate situation arises. The sounds around the objects become almost corporeal, and the borders between internal and external spatial perception become blurred.

2 Euro coins
Each country may issue two commemorative coins per year. These coins have the same features and properties and the same common side as normal €2 coins. What makes them different is their commemorative design on the national side. Only the €2 denomination can be used for commemorative coins.
They are legal tender throughout the euro area. That means they can be used – and must be accepted – just like any other euro coin.
Most of these coins commemorate the anniversaries of historical events or draw attention to current events of historic importance. The very first €2 commemorative coin was issued by Greece to commemorate the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004.
Designing and issuing the coins is the competence of the individual euro countries. The ECB's role regarding the commemorative but also all other coins is to approve the maximum volumes of coins that the individual countries may issue.

Wauwatosa students have different perspective on Supreme Court arguments
A group of Milwaukee-area high school students has been keeping a close eye on the U.S. Supreme Court arguments this week.
The students are looking at these cases from a different perspective than most young people. They've been studying the Supreme Court and its rulings for months.
They are about to represent Wisconsin in a national constitution competition, and they're soaking in all they can about these historic cases, not only because of their interest, but also because it may give them a competitive edge.
"I think we have been waiting for this moment to happen in our country," Wauwatosa West High School student Sarah Henson said.
The Wauwatosa West juniors are part of Chad Mateske's American Public Policy class. The state champions in the "We the People" constitution competition said they are not surprised to see the same-sex marriage debate on center stage.
"Especially since Obama became the first executive to publicly support gay marriage, it's kind of been leading up to it," student Kaitlyn Hembrook said.
The students and their classmates will compete on the national level next month in Washington, and are following every detail of the arguments.
"The government aspect of it is a states-versus-federalism issue, and I think that's the approach the Supreme Court is going to have to take, taking the emotional aspect out of it," student Emily Schaefer said.
"Is this a fundamental right that can be enjoyed by all, or can we say who can enjoy this fundamental right?" student Maggie Fuhrman asked.
"I feel like some people who are not in favor of gay marriage might see it as judicial activism because nowhere in the Constitution does it really discuss this, and they may see it as the justices kind of molding it to fit their viewpoints," student Grace Gabriel said.
"Also in the case of Loving vs. Virginia, they said that interracial marriage was constitutional, so I think that sets a precedent for gay marriage too," Henson said.
And in the end, what these students expect from the court?
"They won't even hear it. They'll throw it out of court," Hembrook said.
"You can't just say the Supreme Court's going to go a certain way because that's what the people want. We'll see what happens; I mean, I don't know," Schaefer said,
Millions of Americans will be waiting to see what happens.
The students plan to visit the Supreme Court during their national competition next month.

(Phoenix, Ariz. – September 20, 2005) Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced a 285-count indictment against 51 members of the Mendivil-Vega Drug Trafficking Organization responsible for importing large quantities of methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and heroin from Mexico into metro Phoenix for local and national distribution.
Local Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents and detectives from the Mesa Police Department today executed a takedown of this criminal organization, arresting seven members living in the Valley. Five other members were served State grand jury summons, and 11 were already in custody and were served summons.
"This organization distributed drugs throughout the U.S. and left a trail of shattered lives in its wake," Goddard said. "This joint investigation will make our community safer and take a high amount of dangerous drugs off our streets. This drug ring moved an estimated 20 pounds of meth, 20 kilos of cocaine and 500 pounds of marijuana each month out of Arizona to other parts of the country."
The investigation began in December 2003 when DEA Phoenix was asked by DEA Cleveland for assistance in identifying unknown Arizona residents supplying high-grade methamphetamine to multiple targets in the Cleveland investigation.
Mesa Police Department initiated an investigation in February 2004 involving a violent drug distribution organization made up of gang members tied to several Mexican criminal street gangs operating in Mesa. The Chicago-based Latin King gang recruited gang members in Mesa and established a distribution network.
Information sharing between the two agencies indicated that both investigations were targeting the same organization. In March 2004, DEA Phoenix and the Mesa Police Department joined forces. The joint investigation uncovered distribution of methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and heroin with day-to-day distribution throughout the Phoenix metro area and stash houses located in Mesa, Phoenix and the West Valley. The organization made routine distributions to several other cities and states and routinely imported drugs from Mexico into U.S. This organization is responsible for several drug-related shootings, gang-related acts of violence and stolen vehicles in the Mesa/Phoenix area.
"This investigation is a prime example of the positive outcome of a well-planned and coordinated team effort," said Mesa Police Chief Dennis Donna. "Through this continued partnership with the DEA, I am confident we will take even more violent criminals off the streets, deter drug trafficking and greatly reduce the number of crimes associated with illegal drugs."
"This cooperative investigation between the Mesa Police Department and the DEA is an example of a federal and local agency working to make our neighborhoods safer for all," said Mesa Police Chief Dennis Donna. "Taking violent people off the street and disrupting the flow of illicit drugs, especially methamphetamine, will help with the identity theft problem, burglaries and violent crime caseloads."
DEA Phoenix and Mesa PD worked with the Arizona Attorney General's Office to secure the 285-count indictment for the following crimes: trafficking in stolen property, participating in an illegal enterprise, fraudulent schemes, money laundering, use of a minor in a drug offense and additional drug trafficking charges.
"It does not matter how hard gangs and other drug distributors try – our team of law enforcement officials will always try harder," said DEA Special Agent in Charge Timothy J. Landrum. "The Mendivil-Vega Drug Trafficking Organization was responsible for the national distribution of dangerous drugs from Mexico. DEA, along with its state and local counterparts, is responsible for the disruption of their deadly network. Working with local police and the Attorney General's Office has, once again, ensured the safety of American citizens nationwide."
Assistant Attorneys General Laura Reckart and Desi Rubalcaba are prosecuting this case. Attached is a list of those arrested today with the charges filed against them and their birth dates.

Larson Electronics reveals their newly designed WAL-SL-5 work area LED string lights. The 10 watt LED lamps on this
work site light set provides higher quality light than 50 wattage incandescent lights while creating less heat and using less power. The string lights consists of five industrial grade LED lamps with 10 feet of 14/3 SJTW cable between each lamp. This system is connected to power via an integrated 3' cable terminated with a standard 5-15 straight blade plug. Each globe light is equipped with a high output LED bub which delivers more light output than a 100 watt incandescent. The 10 watt LED bulb draws 10% of the electrical power of a standard 100 watt bulb, making it suitable for standard voltage and low voltage applications. Each LED light screws into a molded E26 lamp socket and the bulb is enclosed in a bird cage style plastic guard.

The factory settings for most of the notebook HDs are very aggressive and tend to turn off the drive too early and too often for maximum energy saving, so it's usually the operating system to manage this task. Ubuntu (for various and valid reasons) does not change the default factory settings on the disk, but fortunately it's easy to solve this problem.
Open the file /etc/default/acpi-support in your favourite editor and change the line
Code: Select all
Now the energy saving is managed properly.
Code: Select all
If you want, you can change the default laptop-mode settings in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf.
Since the NC10 has a 6-cell battery that lasts for a very long time, I preferred to change the lines
Code: Select all
in order to have better disk performance when working with the battery, sacrificing a little of the power saving.
Code: Select all
The TIMEOUT options set to 300 seconds (5 minutes) the standby timeout for the disk.
The POWERMGMT option sets the disk power management, and it can have a value between 1 and 255. A low value results in a better energy saving but less disk performance, an high value results in disk performance but less energy saving.

It only took $15,000 for an Israeli-born video game designer with no formal film experience to make "Paranormal Activity." But a unique twist separates this film in the dime-a-dozen low budget horror genre: In American Idol fashion, the audience will decide the movie's fate. Will it be a blockbuster success, showing at theaters across the country, or a quickly forgotten also-ran with a limited release and more limited buzz?
Oh, and it even scared Steven Spielberg.
The film follows the story of a young, middle class couple that moves into a typical suburban home but becomes increasingly disturbed by an unusual presence that haunts them in the middle of the night. Especially when they sleep.
U.S. & World
Director Oren Peli shot the film in a week using a cast of unknowns and a hand-held camera, using his house as the set. Looking for a way to get noticed, Peli ran the film in 2007's Screamfest film festival.
In 2008, DreamWorks studio was debating whether it wanted to be a part of the no-budget thriller. An assistant convinced her bosses to have Spielberg take a look. He brought a copy home. Not long after Spielberg watched the film, a door to his bedroom "inexplicably locked" from the inside, the LA Times reported. He had to call a locksmith.
Spielberg was so disturbed by the experience -- and by the film -- that he brought it back the next day in a trash bag… with another bag full of enthusiasm.
It took time for the film to get legs. A deal by Paramount to buy DreamWorks collapsed, leaving the movie stuck on a shelf. Executives believed in the project's potential but were wary of its budget.
"When you hear it's a $10,000 movie, the longer you've been doing this, the quicker you shut down," producer Jason Blum told the New York Times.
In keeping with it's origins, the studio decided to market it guerilla-style. It would go out to a handful of theaters, but if movie goers created enough buzz, executives would green-light a nationwide release.
It opened with limited midnight screenings in 13 college towns. Viewers were encouraged to go to the film's website and "demand it" in their local theater. 200,000 people responded.
The buzz grew and execs see a national release sometime in October.
"It's what you don't see that scares you," DreamWorks exec Adam Goodman told the LA Times. "What's really scary in the movie is a door closing half an inch."

Supported by a volunteer network, the charity organises free monthly Sunday afternoon tea parties for small groups of older people in the homes of volunteers in local communities across England, Scotland and Wales.
Following a seven-way pitch shootout, Stand has been tasked with raising awareness, generating sponsorship and strategy development.
Laura Oliphant, founder of the agency, will be leading the work. She said the plans included generating media coverage through reports created by the charity, which focuses on the threat of loneliness and isolation for the elderly: 'We want to highlight the difference that three hours volunteering a month makes, and this could include celebrity endorsement and bringing what the charity does to life.'
Oliphant added that work would be likely to include bringing the tea parties out of homes and into the public arena 'and opening up doors of amazing venues' to host the events.

We took a road trip last month from NJ to Florida with some stops along the way. We've become fans of road trips in recent years simply because it gives us so much more flexibility. There are so many little places or things that we miss when we fly and we never have to worry about packing too much or too little. We just throw what we want in the car and take off. Of course flying is a necessity for some trips but when you have the time, driving is a great alternative.
Our first stop was in Charleston which is so beautiful and rich in history. There are so many stories that make up the city but it's a place you have to see and walk to really appreciate it. Just not in the summer..:)
Here are a few photos of the landscape and Magnolia Plantation located about 20 minutes from downtown.
I found this in a rest stop just outside the city. I'm guessing they've had some problems in the past..:)
You have to love a hotel who provides you with cider, different kinds of M&M's all day long and three different kinds of chocolate chip cookies at night.
Magnolia Plantation
Photos never do beauty justice but it gives you sense. Hope you enjoyed them.

"DSW Zorgverzekeraar conducted a comprehensive process to select the best software solution for Solvency II. They were looking for a solution that could get them running quickly with the starter kits and for a team of excellent people to work with," adds Marco van der Kooij, General Manager at Tagetik The Netherlands. "Tagetik outperformed the competition leveraging rich, built–in functionality to support a global consolidation and reporting process as well as strong commitment from the management team to go for the extra mile and make this project a great success."

"Tagetik leverages both the software and the industry experience to streamline financial reporting and disclosure processes as part of a complete, fast-to-implement Solvency II pre-packaged solution. This way, insurance companies can ensure 100% compliance with both current and future EIOPA requirements according to the principals of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, consistency, and traceability."For more information on Tagetik's Solvency II pre-packaged application, replay this on-demand webinar

Director George C. Wolfe (Nights in Rodanthe) is reportedly set to direct Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby) in You're Not You. The film centers on a woman (Swank) suffering from a fatal illness and her relationship with a young caregiver. We previously reported that Jeremy Renner was the top choice to star opposite Swank, but there has been no update on that front. The drama is based on the first novel by Michelle Wildgen, which was first adapted by Shana Feste (Country Strong) and then by Jordan Roberts, who worked on Dolphin Tale. Hit the jump for more on You're Not You.
Variety reports that Wolfe will sit the director's chair for You're Not You, his first such assignment since 2008's Nights in Rodanthe. The article also goes on to say that producers are currently searching for actresses to play the part of the 23-year-old caregiver. Check out the description from the Wildgen book below (via Amazon):
Bec is adrift. It's the summer before her junior year in college. She's sleeping with a married professor, losing interest in her classes, and equivocating about her career. She takes a job caring for Kate, a thirty-six-year-old woman who has been immobilized by ALS.
As it turns out, before the disease Kate was a stylish and commanding woman, an advertising executive and an accomplished chef. Now, as she and Bec spend long days together, Bec begins to absorb Kate's sophistication and her sensuality, cooking for her, sharing her secrets, and gradually beginning to live her own life with a boldness informed by Kate's influence. The more intense her commitment to Kate, the further Bec strays from the complacency of her college life. And when Kate's marriage veers into dangerous territory, Bec will have to choose between the values of her old life and the allure of an entirely new one.

With its first size bump in five years, iPhone 5 will add about a half-inch -- exactly 176 pixels -- to its length but nothing to its width. At 7.6 millimeters thick, it will be 18 percent thinner than the 4S. And at 3.95 ounces (112 grams), it's 20 percent lighter than its 4.9-ounce predecessor.
What's significant about this size? For starters, it will allow playback of HD video at native resolution and then some. The new resolution will be 640 x 1,136, compared with iPhone 4S's 640 x 960. The new size offers the ability to display video content in a 16:9 aspect ratio. And like the 4S, the iPhone 5's display also is a Retina, and its pixel density is the same 326 ppi. The extra pixels also will afford more space for apps and an extra row of icons. Also included will be iOS 6.0 and new versions of all pre-installed apps that are aware of the larger screen size. Apple says that apps not updated for the larger screen will run in their old size on iOS 6; they will not be scaled or stretched.

United States Courthouse, Suite 9200:

Boston, Massachusetts 02210
Sallie Mae Pays $3.4 Million to Settle Civil False Claims Act Allegations
Boston, MA - United States Attorney Donald K. Stern today announced that Sallie Mae Servicing Corporation of Reston, Virginia ("Sallie Mae") has agreed to pay S3.4 million to the United States to settle civil False Claims Act allegations. The settlement stems from Sallie Mae's submission of claims for federal payments on hundreds of federally insured student loans, before Sallie Mae had taken the legally required steps to collect the loans.
Sallie Mae is the nation's largest services of federally insured student loans under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Its activities include collecting loan payments and pursuing delinquent borrowers. Federal law requires that loan services like Sallie Mae make a certain number of "diligent efforts" to contact the borrower by telephone and mail prior to making a claim on the federal guaranty, and that an accurate collection history reflecting these diligent efforts be submitted with each claim to collect on the guaranty.
The United States alleges that, for the period July, 1994 through November. 1995, a Sallie Mae employee at its Loan Servicing Center in Waltham, Massachusetts made false call records on collection histories for thousands of delinquent loans he was responsible for pursuing. These records consisted of false reports that the employee had communicated with or attempted to communicate with delinquent borrowers. Sallie Mae then submitted claims for guaranty payments to various guaranty agencies on hundreds of loans on which its employee had made false call records. Alter the guaranty agencies reimbursed Sallie Man for the delinquent loans, the guaranty agencies then obtained reimbursement from the Department of Education.
The Settlement Agreement requires Sallie Mae to pay $3.4 million to the United States in multiple damages and penalties for the claims for federal payments which Sallie Mae has already submitted on loans affected by its employee's misconduct. In addition, it prohibits Sallie Mae from making any claims in the future on federal guarantees on $9.5 million in additional affected loans.
When it learned of the misconduct, Sallie Mae promptly terminated the employee at issue, reported the misconduct to the Department of Education, and has cooperated in this investigation. Sallie Mae has also taken corrective steps to ensure that similar misconduct cannot occur in the future.
U.S. Attorney Stern stated; "Misconduct like this threatens the integrity of the federally insured student loan program. The Department of Education was, in effect, making guarantee payments to Sallie Mae even though Sallie Mae had failed to take the legally required steps to collect from the borrower. We commend Sallie Mae for reporting this serious misconduct to federal authorities, and for accepting responsibility for the losses suffered by the Department of Education."
The case was investigated by agents from the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Education, and handled by First Assistant U.S. Attorney David S. Mackey and Assistant U.S. Attorney Susan M. Poswistilo.

As well as the rotation of the Standard format, we are pleased to announce that the separation of the Standard and Extended formats in the Daily Tournaments has been achieved!
See below for further details of what this change involves:
- The two tournaments will be separated in your history according to their deck format. You can find your tournament history at the following address: /game/tournaments/history/
- A lottery for players ranked in the first 150 in a daily tournament will now be held for each of the two formats (Standard DT and Extended DT). Each tournament format will have its own prize of 5 CRs that will be distributed according to current lottery game rules. 10 CRs will therefore be distributed every day.
- There will also be a jackpot for each tournament.
- However, for technical reasons the two tournaments will take place at the same time (at even hours of the day)
Happy gaming to you all!

There is 2 DT rooms Standard and Extended, can someone explain to if there is penalties for certain characters used in Starndard why also in Extended? Type 2 DT room was fine as it was .. It's cool to have new Standard room and its rules should only apply to that room

All I ask is that they have a regular Type2 room and Type1 room where I can earn my one credit in DT and I am able to use the cards of my choosing with out penalties or bans I payed good money for them and now I can't use them in DTs it is getting harder to earn that one free credit. U can do mission to earn credits but that means buying the right cards for those mission and if u can't earn ur free credit then u have to buy them... Now I see what they are doing
(((-))) - Saturday 10/11/2012, 18:33
Colossus - Open Casket
I figured it out ... The reason it is so hard to win the free credit in DT is because it forces players to use real cash if they want to buy packs.. I used to make 5 credits a day and in 2 weeks I could buy New Blood packs not I make 3 free credits a day... We need a regular DT room without any bans or penalties so some of us can use the cards we payed good money for and still get our free credit.. Even when u use real cash to get these badass cards u encounter bans and penalties for using them that's not fair ....

A deeply rooted right-wing stance is still on the opposition, though once again challenged after a Washington Post-ABC News poll showed a steady increase for support of same-sex marriage rights last week.
According to the poll, opposition has declined from 55 percent in 2004 to 36 percent this year, while roughly 58 percent say gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to wed.
And while it has been a widely accepted stance within the Democratic Party, even as moderate Senators Mark Warner (Virginia) and Claire McCaskill (Montana) have since joined the ranks and Bill Clinton has changed his tone since signing the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, Republicans are still holding to their notoriously conservative roots.
In 2013, nine states including the District of Columbia have allowed gay marriage.
Republican Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. and Ohio Sen. Robert Portman are now in full support of gay marriage rights, and just this week, Republican policy advisor Karl Rove broke some ground saying he could imagine the next GOP presidential nominee backing its legalization.
As Rove released a statement backpedaling from his remarks, the question is raised, on yet another issue, on whether the conservative view is swaying toward the current predominant stance, or whether the right wing is simply refuting anything out of the Democratic gates.
If the Republican Party wants a chance at the 2016 presidential election, they should take a Freudian hint from policy advisor Rove and recognize that now is the time to support a change.
Maybe this is the debate that will begin a more moderate view, and form some common ground in Congress.

Recently, condensing criticism about an article I had written made me question my skills. Just for a second, self-doubt crept in. I am pretty sure that no matter how much you have achieved, everyone questions themselves from time to time.
None of us want to appear insecure at work which is why I loved the section of Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In when she talks about how women on occasion feel like impostors. Sheryl actually calls it impostor syndrome, and defines it as the shameful feeling that if they try to do something a man normally does, they're likely to be exposed as frauds.
In a recent article in The New York Times Magazine titled Why Are There Still So Few Women in Science? I learned that young women in science and math are teased by teachers and made to feel insecure. It actually deters them from raising their hand because they start to doubt themselves. This quote from Professor Nancy Hopkins stood out: "I have found that when women win the nobel prize, someone is bound to tell me they did not deserve it, or the discovery was really made by a man…or that the woman really isn't that smart."
Regardless of gender, it makes the world of difference when you recognize you are being undervalued or unfairly criticized, brush off your self doubt and move confidently past it.
My friend Alexa Sherr Hartley of Premier Leadership Coaching sent me an email this morning and wrote: With the onset of the new year, we are all presented with yet another opportunity to see just how far we can go. However, as T.S. Eliot recognized, not all of us will act on this opportunity…not everyone is willing to take the risk required.
Yes, some of us let self doubt hold us back from taking risks and overshadow our chance to make our mark.
I happened upon an article in Women's Health Magazine written by Caroline Ghosn of Levo League who offers these 4 tips for getting past self doubt and trusting in your ability to achieve.
1. Embrace moments of doubt: When you have moments of doubt, reach out to a person you trust for advice and then move forward.
2. See beyond the setback: When faced with an uncertainty in your abilities, use it as an opportunty to grow your talents. Shift your mindset from "I can't do this" to "I can figure this out."
3. Find a mentor: Mentors build confidence and confidence kills self doubt. You can't expect someone to come to you so just ask. Remove all expectations of what this person looks like or what position he or she holds and and just look for someone with magnetic leadership qualities.
4. Never aim for perfect: Everyone makes mistakes. Cut yourself some slack by knowing which errors to let go of and which to make an effort to fix. Stay focused on what you do well and on whether you are reaching your overarching goals.
As for me, I brushed off the criticism of my article, reworked it and made it better. All of us need to feel safe in the knowledge that a weak moment does not equal a blow to our career or abilities as a professional, spouse, parent or friend.
Send off insecurities in 2014 and it could be your best year yet!

It's simply not possible. I don't believe it. Nonetheless it is being reported as fact. Rafi's blog, Life in Israel, has linked to the Hebrew language website B'Chadrei Charedim that quotes Rav Chaim Kanievsky's response to a question about smart-phones.
There is a Gemarah in Brachos that tells us that a man will lose his portion in Olam HaBah if he walks regularly behind a woman down a river. Rav Kanievsky was asked if this applies to someone who has in his possession an I-phone or the internet. His one word answer according to Chadrei was ' B'Vadai' – absolutely! Anyone who uses an I-phone or the internet is in a category of losing his Olam HaBah – his heavenly reward in the world to come!
If this is true, then yet again, I think we all ought to all just go over to MacDonald's and have a cheeseburger… or violate any other Miztvah in the Torah we want to violate. Why bother observing Halacha if you've lost your Olam Habah?
I happen to know Gedolei Torah and Roshei Yeshiva who use I-phones and the internet. Are they all doomed?
Once again we have what appears to be a huge dis-connect between what a great Torah sage supposedly said – and reality. Either Rav Kanievsky does not know the extent of internet use among a great number of devoutly observant Jews, or this is a gross distortion or mischaracterization of his views. I think that both things are true. I don't believe he said it and meant it to be interpreted as simply as that one word answer indicates.
I would not be surprised if this is yet another instance of Kanoim – religious zealots twisting the views of a elderly rabbinic leader to fit their agenda. I'm sure his position is far more nuanced than the one word answer (B'Vadai) he supposedly gave to a simple question.
The Agenda is obvious. There are people who are eager to destroy other Jews in a fit of self righteousness. They do not have these devices and do not want anyone else to have them either. So they make sure to twist the words of Gedolei Yisroel to assure it.
They may think they are doing the right thing. But they are by far doing far much more harm than good. They may in fact be responsible for pushing more religious Jews out of observance than saving them from using the internet.
By putting people who have smart-phones into a category of losing their Olam Habah, it is not too difficult to see many frustrated Frum people who have so often been put upon with comments like this say, 'the heck with it!' I may as well live a life of ease and not worry about violating Halacha. I won't make to Olam HaBah anyway.
The Gemarah upon which this one word response attributed to Rav Kanievsky was based upon does not forbid the incidental following of a woman down a river. The loss of Olam Habah that the Gemarah speaks of is only to those who purposely do so with lascivious thoughts and the intent to sin in that regard. And even then only if it is done on a regular basis.
I would add that even if someone regularly does things like that and has some sort of sexual addiction, he can get help… and do Teshuva. I find it very difficult to believe that the Gemarah's intent is that someone loses his Olam HaBah permanently if he does that. It is also known that the Gemarah sometimes exaggerates to make a point. Which may be the case here.
If there is any comparison to be made between following a woman down a river and the world of the 21st century and the internet – it is in the area of purposely viewing pornography on it. The problem is not the internet. It is the websites one frequents… if those websites are pornographic. That is the comparison that Rav Kanievsky no doubt meant – if he said anything at all. Accidentally accessing a pornographic website is not a cause for losing one's Olam Habah.
But the Kanoim who publish stories like this do not want to be confused with the nuances of truth. They want convey the message that I-phones and any other device that can access the internet is so evil that one should not even touch it! For if they do, their Olam HaBah is at stake.

Lesson 1
June 24-30
Witnessing: A Christian Fundamental
"SDA SHOE MAKER." So reads the sign by the road in the town of Agusan del Sur, Philippines. At Washington Dulles International Airport, a businesswoman, delayed for more than an hour, shares religious tracts along with her business cards to other waiting passengers. A photographer in Zacateculoca, El Salvador, consistently leads tens, and sometimes more than a hundred people, to Jesus every year. Some of the youth in your church go with their Sabbath School leader to conduct a branch Sabbath School at an orphanage on Sabbath afternoons.
Their circumstances vary greatly. But what one thing do all these people have in common? They love their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and are serving as His witnesses. As you study this week's lesson, pray that God will help you to be aware of that special witnessing place He has designated just for you!
I. What Is a Witness? (Acts 9:1-22; 22:15, 16, 20).
II. The Goal of Witnessing (Matt. 28:18-20).
III. Reasons for Witnessing (Acts 8:26-31; 2 Pet. 3:9; 2 Cor. 5:14).
IV. Three Basic Approaches to Witnessing (Daniel 1; Matt. 5-7; Acts 18:4).
V. Witnessing as a Matter of Obedience (Acts 5:17-42).
MEMORY TEXT: "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I [Jesus] have commanded you" (Matthew 28:18-20, NIV).
What charge did Paul receive on the day of his baptism? Acts 22:15, 16. Based on his conversion experience in Acts 9:1-22, list at least three principles of witnessing. What phrases attract your attention?
|DEFINITION: A witness is a person who can give a first-hand account of something. "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us" (1 John 1:3).
Witnessing is not something we do because it is a "program" of our local church. It is a natural result of our conversion and commitment to Jesus. We witness because we are in love with Him. One reason for a lack of real witnessing among some of us is that we know little of Jesus and His power in our own lives. We cannot witness if we have nothing to share. "No sooner does one come to Christ than there is born in his heart a desire to make known to others what a precious friend he has found in Jesus.... If we have tasted and seen that the Lord is good we shall have something to tell."Steps to Christ, p. 78.
The apostles had seen and heard events about which they were eager to tell others. Death might silence them. But they could not deny their experience. We become powerful witnesses when the joy and the assurance of salvation work wonders in our life.
What word did Paul use to describe Stephen? What is the importance of that word? Acts 22:20.
The Greek word for "witness" is martus. Martus is also the root for the English term martyr. "Now, a martyr is one who is convinced of truth, and manifests it in life and death. The fires of persecution do not make martyrs; they simply reveal them. The man who is not already a martyr never lays down his life for the truth. The martyrs died, not that they might become martyrs, but because they were martyrs."LeRoy B. Froom, The Coming of the Comforter, rev. ed. (Hagerstown, Md.:Review and Herald, 1956), pp. 106, 107.
What would happen if church members sacrificed not only time and money but life itself in order to share Jesus and communicate the gospel? Should we wait until the latter rain fails to develop that attitude? Why, or why not? How can you serve Jesus as a witness now?
According to Matthew 28:18-20, what is the goal of witnessing?
Identify the action words (verbs) of Christ's great commission. Matt. 28:19,20.
The first verb, "go," could be translated to mean "as you go" or "while going." "Baptizing" and "teaching" also are action verbs. They indicate how we are to make disciples. The one command is "make disciples."
What is a disciple?
|DEFINITION: The word disciple means "followers of a master," "people who follow the discipline taught by a teacher." The term is equal to Christian. In the book of Acts, it refers to those who confess Jesus as the Christ. Discipleship suggests the idea of total attachment to someone. Disciples are people who are committed to making Jesus the Lord of their life.
Disciples are eager to use their spiritual gifts to advance God's kingdom because Christ's love motivates them to do so. They have been born again by the Holy Spirit. Because they are new creatures in Christ, they will have characteristics that the world will recognize as different from their own. They will not be perfect. But they are part of God's family. For example, Peter was among the disciples. He was not perfect after Pentecost, but he was committed to Jesus, and he was willing to obey Him.
Discipleship also implies a continuing work toward maturity, a growing to new stages where the disciple will bring others to a saving relationship with Jesus.
Is it possible to be a "church member" and not be a "disciple"? Explain. How willing are you to make the goal of the Great Commission one of your personal goals? Examine your life carefully.
Do you feel you are committed to making Jesus the Lord of your life? If not, how can you make such a commitment?
Read each text in the chart below. Then tell what reason it suggests for witnessing.
|Acts 8:26-31
|2 Pet. 3:9
|2 Cor. 5:14
Read Acts 26:15-18. Provide at least four of Paul's tasks as he witnessed among unbelievers.
1. _________________________________________________________________
2. _________________________________________________________________
3. _________________________________________________________________
4. __________________________________________________________
Witnessing is necessary from two points of view: the Christian's and the non-Christian's. Christians need to witness, because there is something inside them that wants to tell others about Jesus. Non-Christians need someone to witness to them because only by learning about Jesus and accepting His sacrifice can they know the way of salvation.
Philip's experience with the Ethiopian teaches us that for our witness to be meaningful, we should be aware of the concerns and needs of the people to whom we direct our witness. Ask them questions. Listen to their answers. Let their focus be your starting point in sharing Jesus' love. In so doing, they will learn over time that Jesus is indeed the way, the truth, and the light.
|Witnessing also brings spiritual power: "Strength to resist evil is best gained by aggressive service."The Acts of the Apostles, p. 105. List other reasons for witnessing.
In what office did Philip serve the church? Acts 21:8.
|DEFINITION: Evangelism is the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ. It is the presentation of Jesuswho He is, what He has done and is doing, and what He has taught. Evangelism presents biblical teachings through the power of the Holy Spirit in such a way that people will be persuaded to accept Jesus as their Savior and serve Him in the fellowship of the church. An evangelist is one who announces the Good News.
The three basic approaches to evangelism are:
1. Presence evangelism. This deals with the impact of the Christian lifestyle. We evangelize by living the gospel. This involves a positive testimony. In the mission field, presence evangelism may take the form of medical or agricultural work. By meeting people's needs, the evangelist opens their hearts to the preaching of God's Word.
2. Proclamation evangelism. The emphasis of this approach is on the explanation of Scripture. Most Sabbath morning sermons take this approach. Preachers help people to understand the gospel. But they do not know whether anyone in the audience has made a commitment.
3. Persuasion evangelism. This method illustrates the traditional understanding of evangelism. The emphasis of this approach is on doctrine. It persuades people to make a decision for Jesus and His truth. A preacher who, during Sabbath morning services, invites the congregation to respond under the power of the Holy Spirit through an appeal or an altar call is utilizing persuasion evangelism.
Which method of evangelism does each text below describe? Why do you think so?
Acts 18:4 ___________________________________________________________
Daniel 1 ____________________________________________________________
Matt. 5-7 __________________________________________________
|Review the definition of evangelism in the box above. Explain how each of the evangelistic methods described below it fits this definition. Why do we need all three methods? Which method does your local church use the most? Which one are you actively participating in?
The Sanhedrin, called "the council" in the book of Acts, exercised its control in civil and political, as well as in religious, affairs. Composed of seventy men, it was the main governing body of the Hebrew people. The high priest presided over the council. When the apostles were brought before the council, the high priest denounced them, declaring, "'We gave you strict orders not to teach in this [Jesus'] name ... yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's s blood' "(Acts 5:27, 28, NIV).
To what higher command did the apostles refer? Acts 5:29.
In Acts, we find the church heavily involved in witnessing. Another term for what the church did is "evangelizing," even though this word does not appear in Acts very often. The apostles risked their own lives in order to obey God. They could not deny what had happened in their lives and what they had seen with their own eyes. "In the history of prophets and apostles, are many noble examples of loyalty to God. Christ's witnesses have endured imprisonment, torture, and death itself, rather than break God's commands."The Acts of the Apostles, p. 81.
The apostles "never asked, 'Is this course of action safe?' They asked, 'Is this what God wants me to do?' "William Barclay, The Acts of the Apostles, rev. ed. (Philadelphia, Penn.: The Westminster Press, 1976), p. 48.
How did the apostles react to the instructions of the council? Acts 5:40-42.
In such behavior lies the solution to many problems. People respond differently to opposition. Some, preferring peace, are easily scared into silence. Others will make sure that the world knows how unjustly they have been treated. But few souls do not flinch at suffering for Christ's sake. Jesus Himself declared such persons "blessed" (Matt. 5:10-12). The ability of the church to withstand opposition excited the people. And "the number of the disciples was multiplied" (Acts 6:1).
|If the lawmakers of your country or city were to declare witnessing a crimes would you be found guilty or be ignored for lack of evidence? In what circumstances should Christians risk disobeying civil laws that restrict their obligation to witness?
FURTHER STUDY: What activities in Jesus' ministry may be considered as witnessing, and why? What witnessing events do you recall from the Old Testament? Under what method would you classify Jesus' witnessing activities and those you recall from the Old Testament? (see Wednesday's lesson). What principles about witnessing can we learn from both Jesus' ministry and the witnessing events of the Old Testament?
Read Ellen G. White, Christian Service, "A Call to the Individual" pp. 9-13. What activities are described as "the highest missionary work" in Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, p. 41?
"The church of Christ on earth was organized for missionary purposes, and the Lord desires to see the entire church devising ways and means whereby high and low, rich and poor, may hear the message of truth."Testimonies for the Church, vol. 6, p. 29.
"Our work has been marked out for us by our heavenly Father. We are to take our Bibles and go forth to warn the world. We are to be God's helping hands in saving souls channels through which His love is day by day to flow to the perishing."Testimonies for the Church, vol. 9, p. 150.
SUMMARIZE in your own words the following concepts from this week's lesson: (1) What is a witness? (Acts 9:1-22; 22:15, 16, 20). (2) What is the goal of witnessing? (Matt. 28:19, 20). (3) What are some reasons for witnessing? (Acts 8:26-31; 2 Pet. 3:9; 2 Cor. 5:14). (4) List and explain the three basic approaches to witnessing (Daniel 1; Matt. 5-7; Acts 18:4). (5) Why is witnessing a matter of obedience? (Acts 5:17-42).
How has this week's lesson made you feel about witnessing? What will you do differently because of what you have learned?
J. H. Zachary
For many months a gang of "rascals," ruthless criminals, terrorized a section of the Eastern Highlands Mission in Papua New Guinea. Two hundred violent youth robbed and raped travelers between the cities of Goroka and Lae.
Midway between these cities the highway passes between two hills. Gang members would watch for traffic from the north. When a lone vehicle approached, they signaled their companions on the hill overlooking the narrow passage, who alerted a third group of rascals, who stopped the vehicle and carried out their criminal and often violent deeds.
Several Adventist churches serve the communities in this area of Papua New Guinea. Members were deeply concerned over the increasingly violent nature of crimes being committed by these gangs. They took their concern to the Lord in earnest prayer and discussed possible solutions. Finally, the members agreed on a solution to make their community safe once again. Carefully they laid their plans.
Nearly everyone who lives in the region knows which youth are gang members or sympathizers. Pairs of Adventists visited the homes of these people and challenged the gang members to come to a meeting at the church. "Surely you do not want to spend the rest of your life as a rascal. God wants something better for you. He loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. We have prepared a special seminar for all the rascals in this community. Please come."
And many of the rascals came to the meeting and continued to attend the evangelistic meetings prepared just for them. Before the meetings ended, 107 of the rascals came forward to express their desire to begin a new life with Jesus. In just over a year that number reached 200.
As the pastor in this region and I passed through this once-dangerous spot on the highway between Goroka and Lae, the pastor told me, "It is safe to travel here now."
Praise God for the transforming power of the gospel that changes lives and gives each person hope for the future and a better life today.

Knoxville Tenn. – The University of Tennessee football program announced today that former Vol offensive lineman Anthony Parker and Derrick Lett have been added to the football staff. Parker will serve as the offensive graduate assistant, while Lett will be an offensive administrative intern.
Parker previously coached as a graduate assistant at Mississippi State (2011-12) and Morgan State (2009-10) and was a four-year letterman for the Vols from 2005-08. He played in 44 career games on the offensive line for Tennessee, including 38 starts, predominantly as an offensive guard. Parker started all 14 games of the 2007 season, including the 2007 SEC Championship Game, and also started 12 games in 2006 and 2008 as well as one as a freshman at center in 2005.
A native of Jonesboro, Ga., Parker was named a second team All-American by the Associated Press in 2007. He also earned first team All-SEC honors from both the AP and league coaches in 2007 as well as second team All-SEC accolades in 2008, also from both the AP and league coaches.
Lett joins the Vols after spending the last four seasons at Bowling Green High School in Ohio, most recently as the passing game coordinator. He began his coaching career there as the quarterbacks and receivers coach. Lett played at Bowling Green State University from 2001-05 and was part of two bowl game wins with the Falcons as well as a 2004 receiving corps that was ranked third-best in the nation by Athlon, under the direction of current UT receivers coach and recruiting coordinator Zach Azzanni.
Both Parker and Lett have begun their work with the Tennessee football program.

For those of you having Do Soo withdrawals (like me!) , enjoy ~
Mrowr. This is an Lee-Jung-jin-looking-mighty-pretty post, so I may just run out of brainpower halfway through it. Something about this man just makes my brain shut off, leaving me with just enough energy to drool. Um, figuratively speaking.
So here we have a photo shoot for High Cut magazine, in which Lee Jung-jin is lounging around, cavorting on a bed, baring chest and belly and boxer shorts. Also looking mighty carefree and happy, which is like a cheap shot to get us to Awww over him given how tortured and hurty he was in his last drama, Runaway Plan B. There there, Mr. Hot Scruffy Cop, Rain will make it better.
(Seriously, their bromance is a thing of beauty, though altogether WAY too short-lived in the drama, and underdeveloped. The Runaway special was pretty hilarious, though, with the entire first fifteen minutes basically acting as Lee Jung-jin's love letter to Rain. It was awesome.)
These days, Lee Jung-jin can be seen in the KBS2 reality show Qualifications of a Man… which I'll have to get to watching right away. (Is it any good, variety watchers out there?)
And here my brain shuts off so I'll have to sign off and go stare some more

Overall a smooth, quick transaction
" Fair price on a vehicle in good condition. Promised windshield replacement, and it was done at my convenience a few days after purchase. No high pressure sales tactics. Did not start negotiations with some high price with lots of added options. Extended warranty was offered but there was not a lot of pressure to purchase. Overall a smooth, quick transaction without the typically dealer runaround and games. "
One of the best experiences at a used car lot
" One of the best experiences at a used car lot in a long time. Salesman Dave helped me get into a vehicle i could afford without leaving me broke and with a monthly payment i could afford look him up when you go there did everything right there on site including helping me get insurance.would recommend this company to anyone looking for a used car "
I wouldn't hesitate to buy off their lot again. 5 stars!!
" I recently bought a Toyota 4runner from this dealership and it was one of the best experiences at any lot that i have been too. The staff is friendly and the financing is very competitive. They don't sell you a car unless it is in top notch running condition and if its not they will make sure your satisfied with it before you sign on the dotted line. I highly recommend this dealership and if i ever need a car and they have what im looking for. I wouldn't hesitate to buy off their lot again. 5 stars!! Thanks to Dana for putting the deal together! "
This was one of the better experiences
" This was one of the better experiences I have had ever! These guys really come through for you. Once we decided on what exactly we were after they found it in two days! They found me the EXACT car I wanted and made the actual buying process somehow not terrifying! 8 days later I got hit and run by a semi truck and new car was totaled. AGAIN Dana went above and beyond and a month later found me another perfect car! Would definitely recommend and will go here if I am ever in the market agai "
They were so awesome
" Seriously the best car dealership I have EVER bought a car from. They were so awesome I bought two cars from them in less than month! The salesman Keith is such a nice friendly guy and Alesha in finance is the most HONEST and resourceful finance person I have ever dealt with...absolutely AMAZING! "

Thanks Again
" Place to get you a car or truck they take good care of you well recommended i bought a 97 Toyota 4 runner and we put over 300.000 miles on it and and still running good and I'm on my third car purchase from this people very happy thanks guys "
Above and beyond to help
" I came down from Flagstaff knowing David would help me get my daughter and son n law into a new car. First time buyers, David was able to approve my kids for a 2012 Ford Explorer. I also wanted a new car and David was able to approve me. He got me into a 2012 BMW. Both cars are a beauty. Within just a few hours we were on our way back home in 3 cars. David and his crew will go above and beyond to help you get into a reliable car. With low money down he's always willing to help in every way he can. Bad credit, no credit he'll help you get into something. Go see David at Liberty Cars and Trucks on Bell Road.. Awesome guy! "
Very Helpful
" The employees at this location were very helpful. My daughter was a first time buyer/no credit and while learning life experiences this place made it possible for her to get her a car. I would recommend anyone with no credit and a job to contact them. We will definitely be back for future purchases. "
Easy Car Buying Experience
" Great experience buying a clean used Toyota 4Runner. Worked with Dana and David. Great guys who are down to earth, straight forward, no gimmicks etc. They offer good vehicles at great prices. Don't go to a huge corporate car lot and get treated like another number, this smaller friendly operation is the way too go if looking for a clean used car/truck. No sales pressure at all, they know good vehicles sell themselves. Had me in and out in record time, I was impressed. Thanks very much for an easy car buying experience! "
I had a great experience here!
" I had a great experience here! Everyone was really nice and patient. As a first time buyer, everything was explained to me and every question was answered to make sure I felt comfortable. I was referred here and I would definitely recommend this place as well! "
recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a vehicle.
" I don't like driving in cities. Liberty Cars & Truck went the extra mile so I wouldn't have to go to Phoenix. The car was exactly as described. I would recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a vehicle "
So Nice and Professional!
" Wow this place is great. My fiancé and I had a pleasure of working with David, Keith and the finance manager Dana! They were all so nice and professional. We told them what we could afford and they got us the best deal ever! We love our new 2014 Nissan Altima ! Thank you liberty cars and trucks ! "
" I was at Liberty Cars and Truck yesterday (05/13/2019) to buy a Lexus SUV. I was pleasantly surprised by the good people I met at this place. There is no pressure or typical car salesman gimmicks, Keith and Dylan were honest and told the facts about the car I was planning to buy. Very impressed with this place, I strongly recommend considering Liberty cars if you are in the market for a used car. "
Quick Responders
" I requested info online and they responded really quickly. The first car I thought I wanted wasn't really a good fit for me so I told them I would keep an eye on the website and when I see something I'll give them a call. I found a 2012 with low miles and sent them an email, it took 3 hours from the moment I emailed them to doing all the paperwork and picking up the car. I had a small issue with a mass air flow sensor and they took care of it! They have followed up with me multiple times to make sure I was happy and to check up on the car. The dealership looked like all the other small used dealerships but they will take care of you. Was very pleased with the level of customer service. I would recommend them. "
David Was Super Friendly!
" David was super friendly and super helpful when helping me find my perfect vehicle. I was very pleased how stressfree me purchasing my vehicle was. I am very thankful for the staff for being very understandable with my situation in getting into a vehicle. I am very happy with my 2014 Nissan Altima. Thank You guys "
Took All of my Interests to Heart
" This Company took all of my interests to heart when matching me with the vehicle that I purchased. They where quick efficient, meet and exceeded my requirements for payments and overall price. From the moment i walked on the lot to the moment i signed the last page they where courteous and only had my family's best interest at heart. Me and my wife have a 9 week old baby and i no longer have to worry about the vehicle i drive thanks to Liberty Cars and Trucks. I will recommend that you go check them out before buying a car from anyone else. Thank you to the whole Staff there, everyone helped from the first point of contact Michael who matched me with my vehicle to Dana who helped finding someone to take our loan. Liberty Cars and Trucks is an honest, reliable, trustworthy company and i can tell they will help many more people find the right car for them "
Treat You Like Family
" These guys are great and treat you like family, I really enjoyed buying my truck from them. They also had a great selection of trucks to choose from. I highly recommend them and will be back to get another vehicle within the year. Thank you Liberty! "
Great Service and No Pressure
" Great service, no pressure and fun environment. Reminded me of Carmax with how easy the process was. Good inventory and there are some hidden gems on the lot. David will let you take your time and make sure you are picking what you want. At least check them out before you go somewhere else. UPDATE--- i went to drop the remainder of the down payment off this morning and they told me that my loan changed after I left last night. Dana, their finance guru, found a deal better than the one I was happy with when I originally signed. Awesome to have someone working for you after the deal was done. They could have just gone on to the next customer. One thing you can be certain of if you work with them is that they will take care of you. Thanks again to David and Dana! "
Best Used Car Dealership
" Hands down, the BEST used car dealership compared to all the others on this side of town. Larry took care of my brother and I, and got him into a lexus with flexible down payment terms and a comfortable monthly payment. He put my brother into the car he wanted, did not try and stick him into something that would "meet the loan amount". I myself was reluctant to take my brother to this dealership at first because I had a TERRIBLE experience with one located on the corner of 32nd street and greenway, but Larry treated us like family and built a lasting relationship. I recommend anyone to visit Liberty Cars and Trucks. You won't be disappointed. "

Dear All,
I am having some problems with my Lumina LSC-400 and Psychopy (1.84.1) on Windows 7.
The Lumina box is working fine with Presentation, E-prime and PsychToolBox.
It is connected to a Sunix serial interface card, with the serial port assigned to be COM1.
If I follow the pyxid examples I cannot get Psychopy to recognise the Lumina (it moans about serial_blah.py returning {} instead of a integer or string). Sorry I don't have the exact error. On the Lumina box I have tried selecting both Lumina and Cedrus RB mode (and a range of baud rates), nothing works.
I have also tried calling get_xid_devices() multiple times, again no joy.
Does anyone have any tips on how to troubleshoot this?
Best wishes,

Powershell 2.0 Get-Member Enhancements
The other day I blogged on a cool way to alter database file properties. And I promised I would film the solution for you. Well, I got home that night and started filming but when I pulled up sqlps I was stopped dead in my tracks by something I couldn't explain. The methods to get and set were missing. I checked my other box and they were there, so what happened? The only difference was that the box I wrote the blog from was XP and the box I was filming from was Win7.
So I pinged a couple really smart guys as MS (and I cc'd Buck). So after a couple of days we have an answer. There's a new feature in powershell 2.0 that hides the getter and setter methods from you by default in get-member. They're officially calling it an enhancement.
There are 2 new parameters that get-member supports that allow you to control what you see. You can now use –view and –force.
-view takes the parameters Extended, Adapted, Base, All
-force doesn't take any additional parameters.
However if you're looking specifically for getter and setter methods, you'll have to use –force because –view doesn't display them. Here's what that'll look like:
dir | gm –force
Now you can see everything. It's interesting though is that by defalt, PS loads all the methods, it just doesn't show them to you.
Here's the MSDN blog that explains this and so much more.
And I'd like to give a special thanks to Robert Hutchinson at MS for chasing this down for me while Buck and I sat on the sidelines helpless.
