Series: The Mysteries of the Kingdom: A Study of the Parables of Jesus
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Matthew 7
If you have your Bible today, turn to Matthew chapter 7. We're in a series on the parables. Today, we want to look at the Parable of the Builders.
Now, when my kids were little, still in grade school, if I remember correctly, I took Amy and Sarah, my second and third. Jill didn't go with us. But I went to a friend's house. Mark Holifield lived in Houston. And I had to get something from him, or I was talking to him about something. I just had the kids come along. He didn't live that far away from where we lived. And Mark had a huge backyard, just a giant backyard. And so we were in his backyard and talking. And in his backyard he had the coolest playhouse that was connected to a big swing set, and it was all made out of wood, and it was just so elaborate and massive. And, wow! My kids were freaking out. They're like, "This is so cool." And they were running around his backyard. And I was like, "Mark, how did you get that?" He goes, "Well, I built it." He took me into his garage. It was like a showroom for DeWalt Power Tools. I mean, he just had them all over the place. Mark was like Bob Villa, you know. He just had all this stuff. I was like, you know, in my garage I have a hammer, duct tape, and WD40, that's about it, you know. If you can't fix it with those three things, call the technician because we're not going to be able to do it. But Mark was just awesome at all that stuff. And I still remember Amy, after we got through at Mark's house, she goes, "Dad, this is so cool. When can we get some stuff like that?" I said, "I don't know. You'll have to talk to Mark, whenever he can come over. I'm not going to be able to do it." We had a, a swing set that I had put together from Sears. And it wasn't the cheapest one they've got. It was the next to the cheapest one. And I put it together. It took me all day and I came th ...

Best Electric Smokers Reviews 2017 *UPDATED
Masterbuilt 20078715
- Easy to use. If you are new to smoking, you can jump right into it with this model. The 20078715 Electric Digital Smoker allows you to set the internal temperature to the exact degree, and the smoker will do the work of maintaining it.
- Size. This particular model is about the size of a mini refrigerator, which makes mobility easier. Even though it's small, there are four racks inside the smoker, so you can cook a good amount of food.
- Wood Chip Loader. The Masterbuilt Electric Digital Smoker has a wood chip loader that, as the name implies, lets you add wood chips to the smoker without opening the door. Leaving the door closed keeps the temperature stable and uses less power.
- Effectiveness. Customers who have purchased this product rave about how well it's insulated. Heat does not leak out during cooking, and the internal temperature can be maintained even in cold weather. Overall, the Masterbuilt 20078715 Electric Digital Smoker is an excellent model for newbies and those who want convenience.
- Temperature Limitations. The biggest issue customers have with this particular model is that it only heats to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're aiming to get some crispy skin on the poultry you're smoking, then this model is not for you.
- No Window. This smoker does not have a viewing window. You won't be able to watch your food cook without opening the door. However, the lack of a window allows the smoker to retain heat better than a model with a window, so for some, this feature may be positive.
- Low Power. Customers have reported that the heat seems to be much less powerful when cooking large quantities of meat all at once. It seems this model does not have adequate power to cook lots of food evenly and promptly.
- Limited Warranty. While Masterbuild is known for its excellent customer service, their warranties leave something to be desired. This Smoker comes with a 90-day warranty, but you have to pay additional fees if you want an extended warranty.
Bradley Digital 4-Rack Smoker
- Set and Forget. This smoker feeds wood chips to the internal chamber automatically, so you can set your desired temperature and time, and relax until it's ready.
- Overall composition. The Bradley Digital 4-Rack is primarily stainless steel, which has an aesthetic appeal. The stainless steel is also incredibly easy to clean, and resistant to smudges.
- Smoke control. You can program your Bradley smoker to cook with a certain level of smoke. It will modify the rate in which the wood chips burn to accommodate to your setting.
- Cold smoke option. If you want to smoke cheeses or various other delicate foods, it must be done at a relatively low temperature. This particular Bradley model can achieve and maintain just that.
- Finicky with temperatures. The meat you use must be warmed a bit before smoking. Do not put frozen meat in this smoker, or it will plunge the internal temperature. Also, is you open the door to this smoker during cooking, it may take a while to get back up to the set temperature.
- Low power. With the heating element only using 125 watts of power, this smoker may take some time to heat up before it is ready for use. This also means that you will need to keep an eye on temperature fluctuations when cooking large amounts of food.
- Wastes wood chips. The Bradley Digital 4-Rack requires 3 wood bisquettes to be in the chamber at all times, or else it stops "feeding" itself. This is simply its design and cannot be modified, which means that some of your wood chips will inevitably not get used.
- Difficult to use in cold environments. Customers have complained about the digital elements of this smoker (controls for temperature, time, and smoke) ceasing to function if the external temperature gets too cold.
Char-Broil Vertical Electric Smoker
- Price. The Char-Broil Vertical Electric Smoker is one of the less expensive models in this list. If you are looking for the most economical option, then you may want to look into this smoker.
- Size. This particular smoker is about ten inches larger than the previous two models we have listed. The advantage here is obviously smoking more food at once! This will be convenient for hosting parties, etc.
- Assembly. Customers love the easy assembly of the Char-Broil. It takes roughly twenty minutes to set up, so you can get right to seasoning your smoker shortly after unpacking it.
- Not enough smoke. The heating element in this smoker does not keep chips hot enough to produce smoke constantly. It will take some work on your part to keep the internal temperature hot enough to generate smoke from the chips. Some trial and error will be involved to figure out the ideal set-up.
- Preheating. This smoker requires an overcompensation, if you will, to acquire the desired temperature. You must set the smoker to a higher degree than what you need, then back it down until you reach the right temperature. This can use up more time than other models.
- Leaks. Customers have collectively complained about the door on the Char-Broil. It does not latch perfectly, which leads to some smoke being lost through the door.
Bradley Smokers Original Smoker
- Versatile. The Bradley Smokers Original Smoker offers the flexibility of either hot-smoking or cold-smoking, with no separate attachment required.
- Flavor. Users of this model rave about the delicious smoky flavor that saturates whatever food you cook inside of it. It is comparable to that of a traditional charcoal smoker.
- Automatic Chip Feeder. There is no need to continuously feed wood chips into the Bradley Original Smoker. It is automated to give itself the required amount of fuel to maintain whatever temperature you have specified.
- Information. The Bradley Smokers Original Smoker comes with a recipe book with all kinds of ideas for your new smoker. Customers have given positive feedback about the recipes, having used them to try new things.
- Temperature. This Bradley model has a maximum temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that if you decide to cook poultry or fish in this smoker, you may end up finishing some of those meats in your oven to cook them thoroughly.
- Chrome racks. The interior walls of this unit are made of stainless steel, but the actual racks are made of chrome. Chrome has a greater potential to rust than other metals, so you must maintain the racks perfectly.
- Power. This smoker has a lower wattage than other models, which translates into more time to heat up for you. This could also be problematic in cold environments, as the heating element may not be powerful enough to maintain its heat.
- Maintenance. This Bradley Smoker is not truly "set and forget" way to cook your food. Even though an automatic wood chip feeder is included, you still must check the water dish periodically, making sure the water is clean, and the dish is full.
Smokehouse Products Little Chief Front Load Smoker
- Price. The Smokehouse Products Little Chief Front Load Smoker is very inexpensive for what you get. This is one of the most affordable smokers on this list.
- Warranty. This smoker comes with a two-year warranty. Many other companies only offer a 90-day warranty or even require additional money to get a warranty. You have more protection from defects with the Little Chief.
- Simplicity. This is a very basic, beginner's smoker. It has standard options without the "fancier" options that are available on electric smokers today. This is an excellent option for casual or first- time smokers.
- Longevity. The Smokehouse Little Chief has the potential to last fifteen to twenty years with proper care. Many customers have boasted about the long lifespan of this particular smoker.
- Temperature. The Little Chief only has one temperature setting-165 degrees Fahrenheit. You will not be able to raise or lower this, so the type of food you cook in this smoker will need to be planned around the temperature restrictions.
- Size. As the name implies, the Little Chief is one of the smaller models on our list. While this may prove very convenient for some, many people would not be able to cook for the whole family using the smoker alone.
- Power. This smoker is not robust enough to maintain a high temperature in cold weather. This could be problematic depending on your geographical location.
- Complete Cooking. This unit is designed to add a smoky flavor to food, but it cannot always cook the food to completion. Many people finish cooking whatever they were smoking in their oven, so anticipate an extra step in your preparation if you purchase this smoker.
Char-Broil Deluxe Digital Electric Smoker
- Window. The Char-Broil Deluxe Digital Electric Smoker has a window on its front panel, so you can view your food while it's cooking.
- Mobility. Unlike some other models on this list, the Char-Broil Deluxe Includes wheels and a handle. This makes it much easier to move because you do not necessarily have to wait for it to cool completely before you relocate it.
- Temperature Gauge. The Char-Broil Deluxe model includes a removable temperature gauge. The advantage of having a removable temperature gauge means that you can place it in different areas of the smoker, and it would also be easy to replace if you needed to.
- Remote Control. This smoker comes with a remote control that allows you to change some settings without actually being right next to the unit. You can increase or decrease the smoker's temperature from inside your house, which is quite useful in colder seasons.
- Maximum Temperature. The Char-Broil Deluxe Digital Electric Smoker has can only heat to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. This is fine for most beef and pork but could be potentially problematic when cooking poultry.
- Smoke Flavor. Customers have complained that this smoker does not make the food you cook in it very smoky tasting. You may have to experiment with different "flavors" of wood chips, or even the amount of chips to increase the smoke.
- Problematic Heating Element. Some customers have complained that the heating element of this unit are failing after only a few uses, and needing to be fully replaced.
- Clean up. Another issue customers had with this model is that it 's hard to clean. While the racks do come out, it takes a lot of effort to get the smoke residue off of the internal chamber.
Masterbuilt 20070213
- Temperature Maintenance. The Masterbuilt 20070213 is reportedly very good at maintaining whatever temperature you set it to, even in extremely cold weather.
- Material. This smoker is made of powdered steel. Powdered steel is very durable and long lasting. This means your smoker will be able to withstand long-term use.
- Replaceable parts. This Masterbuilt smoker has replaceable parts, so if something breaks down, you can replace the individual component instead of buying a whole new unit.
- Timer controlled temperature. The heat in the smoker automatically shuts off when the timer reaches zero. Also, it will not begin to warm up until the timer is set. This means you have to set a certain amount of time for the unit even to preheat.
- No cold smoking. This Masterbuilt does not produce any smoke under 185 degrees Fahrenheit which means cold smoking is not an option. You have to purchase a separate attachment if you want lower heat smoke.
- Mobility. This model does not include any wheels or handles, which makes it tough to move. You will need to choose its location with that in mind.
Masterbuilt 20077615
- Built-in meat probe thermometer. This Masterbuilt has a built-in meat probe thermometer, which is very convenient for monitoring your food.
- Flavor. This digital electric smoker reportedly has some of the best smoky flavors that you can get without using a traditional charcoal smoker.
- Easy to use. This particular model is very simple, so even beginning smokers can use it with ease. Most aspects of it are self-explanatory.
- Front window. There is a window in the front panel of the smoker so you can watch your food while it is cooking. This is another way you can monitor your meats, along with the built in meat-probe thermometer, without opening the smoker's door.
- Price. This is one of the most expensive smokers on this list be prepared to spend a good amount of money on it.
- Remote. There are several reports of the remote for this unit working poorly. Customers say that the battery loses contact with the conductors easily, and the remote past to be modified for it to work.
- Supervision. This Masterbuilt smoker requires you to continuously add wood chips to it, so it's not quite something where you can set it and forget it. You will need to monitor the cooking process.
- Vague directions. Even though this model is relatively easy to use, it is still recommended that you research smoking before you use it for the first time, as the directions included do not give you all the background information you need to know.
Masterbuilt 20075315
- Size. At 40 inches, this is one of the largest models on our list. This is convenient for times when you want to cook multiple meals at once or cook for multiple people at one time.
- Clean up. Most parts in the smoker are removable and fit in your dishwasher. People have praised Masterbuilt for how easy this smoker is to clean because of that.
- Smoke ring. A smoke ring is achievable using the 20075315 model, which, in many cases, cannot happen in electric smokers.
- Warranty. There is no extended warranty available, even by purchase. This could be concerning to some consumers who are very hard on their products.
- Internal light. This smoker does have a window, but there is no light inside the chamber. Once the smoke gets going, you won't be able to see your food.
- Maximum temperature. The smoker only heats to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. While that is a bit higher than other models in this list, you may still find yourself having to finish certain foods in your oven.
Old Smokey Electric Smoker
- Temperature. At 300 degrees, this unit has the capability to cook poultry and fish thoroughly. You can achieve crispy skin on chicken and turkey in the smoker.
- Extreme simplicity. This is a very basic model with no unnecessary bells or whistles. Because it is so basic, it is incredibly simple to use.
- Longevity. Customers love how long this model lasts. It has the potential for several years of working perfectly.
- Quick smoke. This smoker is ideal for a quick smoked meal. It can smoke several different types of meat in only a few hours.
- Top Loader. With only two racks, gauging the internal temperature of your meat is somewhat difficult. Since you cannot open up the sides of this model at all, you may have to remove the top rack to check something on the bottom, which is not suitable for maintaining temperature.
- Potential Hazard. The outside of the smoker gets extremely hot, so you will need to be careful that children are not around this unit while it's on, and no one makes skin contact with it while it's hot. Severe burns are possible, so use caution.
- Internal design. Some screws are inside the main chamber which are used to hang the racks. When you do anything with the racks, or even clean the inside, many people have complained of getting scratched by the screws. The screws may also get in the way during cooking.
- Chip maintenance. The wood chips burn at the bottom of the unit underneath the two racks. The smoker does not have an automatic chip feeder, so when you manually add chips to the unit you will have to remove both racks to get to the chip chamber. This model is not ideal for a slow smoke because of that.
Smoke Hollow 30162E
- Assembly. From the time you get the Smoke Hollow Electric Smoker out of its box to the time when it's ready to be used is only 15 to 20 minutes, making it one of the easiest models on this list to assemble.
- Novice appeal. The Smoke Hollow is very easy to use, making it ideal for someone who is just beginning to learn how to smoke.
- Flavor. Customers have reported that this unit delivers a great smoky flavor.
- Manual power. There is no digital temperature control on this smoker, so to change the amount of heat, you will have to read the temperature gauge and then manually adjust the power knob.
- No automatic wood feeder. To add chips while cooking, you will have to open the door to the smoker, which will cause some heat loss every time.
- Leaky Door. Customers have complained that this door leaks smoke. This will cause you to have a less smoky flavor overall, and may also result in longer cooking times if heat is being lost through the door.
- Small drip pan. Another complaint was the size of the Smoke Hollow drip pan. Several people have had to fashion their own larger drip pans to catch the grease that leaks out of this smoker.
Southern Country Smokers 2 in 1 Electric Water Smoker
- Side access door. While this smoker does not have an automatic chip feeder, it does have an access door on its side, so you can put wood chips into the internal chamber without losing very much heat.
- Steam and smoke. This smoker steams water while simultaneously smoking chips, which allows a deeper penetration of flavor into food.
- Wooden handles. The wooden handles are heat resistant, so this unit is relatively easy to move. The lid also has a wooden handle, which will make it simpler to manipulate during cooking.
- Flexibility. You are able, with this smoker, to convert your unit into a charcoal grill. However, a separate purchase is necessary to do so.
- Only two racks. This smoker will not hold a large amount of food. Also, food on the bottom rack can only be checked if you remove the top rack first, which can cause your top rack of food to you have inconsistent heat.
- Temperature. Consumers have reported problems with this model achieving a high enough temperature to cook things over a long period. It is not recommended to use this unit for long, full-day smokes.
- Material. There have also been several complaints of these smokers arriving damaged or dented right out of the package. The metal is very thin, which is potentially problematic.
- Duration. This smoker will only last about a year.
Masterbuilt 20076716 4-Rack
- Leg stand. This unit includes 10-inch leg stands which many people have found to be quite helpful. It also comes with heat-resistant gloves and a cover.
- Remote. The Masterbuilt Digital Electric Smoker with Leg Kit Cover and Gloves also comes with a temperature remote that gives you control from the inside of your house.
- Consistent Temperature. This smoker maintains its internal temp well, with minimal effort on your part.
- Appearance. This model is available in several different colors, so if you're looking for a bright accent to your outdoor space, this could be for you.
- Damage. It seems a lot of these models are damaged in the shipping phase. This could indicate a less-resilient material, so be prepared for potentially having to deal with returns or exchanges.
- Instructions. The instructions included in the package are a bit lacking. New smokers will have to do their own research before attempting their first smoke.
- Useless Window. This smoker does have a window, but it will become opaque after the smoke fills up the unit, so it's somewhat of a pointless addition.
Jim Beam BTDS76JB Bradley Smoker
- Automatic chip feeder. This unit gives itself some chips that it needs to fuel the Heat and smoke. You will not have to worry about opening the door to maintain the chips.
- Safety. This smoker does not get hot on the outside, so you won't need to worry about extra caution when touching its surface.
- Simple initial set-up. The assembly for this model is relatively easy and will not consume much time or energy.
- To work or not to work? It is somewhat of a toss-up with whether or not you will receive a working unit. Many of these smokers seem to arrive damaged, or break after a couple of uses. Many customers have complained about having to exchange their smokers.
- Long preheating time. This smoker takes a long time initially to reach your desired temperature. Allow a couple of hours for it to warm up before you put food in to cook.
- Uneven cooking. The lower racks in the Jim Beam Bradley Smoker cook faster than upper racks so that some monitoring will be required. You may even have to rotate food on the racks so that they get an equal amount of heat.
However, smoking food is hard work that takes time and a lot of effort. You must continually monitor your smoker to make sure that its internal temperature stays consistent throughout the cooking process. Smoked meat tastes incredible, but there's got to be an easier way to get that smoky flavor, right?
Yes, there is a way! Presenting: the Electric Smoker. Contrary to conventional smokers, an electric smoker plugs into a power source and controls its temperature by responding to the settings that you choose. This means that now when you want that tasty smoked brisket, instead of spending hours laboring over maintaining a specific temperature, you can simply set your electric smoker to your desired setting and walk away. Imagine having free time to do other things while your meat is smoking! Imagine not having to carve out fifteen hours of your day to get that smoky dinner. This is the future of smoking.
Now that you have a list of the good and bad of the best-selling smokers, it's time to make a decision on what to get! Good luck in your smoking endeavors, and may your food always be flavorful.

The Politics of Twisted Tongues and Loopy Lingo
Click on the audio player above to hear this interview.
On Wednesday night, 10 Republican presidential candidates will gather on the stage of the Coors Events Center at the University of Colorado in Boulder in the third GOP debate of the 2016 election. The event will be titled "Your Money, Your Vote."
Ahead of the debates, we're not just thinking about what the candidates are saying. We're thinking about how they're saying it. The GOP lineup features a wide range of accents, from Donald Trump's New York honk to Ted Cruz's Texas twang.
During the debate, they might feel pressure to soften their twangs, drawls and cadences to please a national audience. But Kara Becker, assistant professor of Linguistics at Reed College, says when it comes to electability, politicians are better off sticking their roots.
What you'll learn from this segment:
- How speech patterns from some regions benefit some candidates more than others.
- Why political accents have changed overtime.
- How a regional accent impacts a politician's chances for success and their ability to communicate.

I don't have a path, yet. I just started exploring and I'm getting interested in the Left Path(Black magick or whatever people call Freedom,Love, and Power). I don't follow religion, I have an open mind. My family is Catholic, but I am slowly breaking away from that as you can see(I'm not really suppose to be on this site). I guess I follow the commandments, but that's what keeps me out of trouble and isn't a bad thing. Don't know if you heard of the saying, "God is a jealous man." I guess he wants to in prison his followers and everyone has the free will to not give into God.

The hair cycle normally consists of growing, resting and falling hairs and there is a delicate balance between these stages of hair cycle. Normally hair should regrow but if its not happening, you should consider seeing a dematologist. Further information is in the following weblink https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/hair-and-scalp-problems/hair-loss The treatment typically consists of usage of oral medication (Finasteride) and topical lotion (Minoxidil ). The dosage and duration is decided by your dermatologist. You need to be patient with the treatment protocol as it takes months to see initial improvement. Certain dermatologists supplement biotin, hair serum and advice procedures like PRP therapy which may accelerate the rate of hair growth. PRP needs multiple sessions roughly at 6 weeks intervals.

"Nobody else is talking to me anymore," Adams said. "I'm only focused on Georgia Tech."
That simple statement says a lot about Will Adams, who has been spending weekends on the Flats as often as possible as he prepares to enroll at Georgia Tech in 2012. He is still fully focused on finishing his high school career on a high note at Sandy Creek High School, but he's beginning to think about his college career as well.
"I love being up there (at Georgia Tech) – it's such a great atmosphere," Adams said. "I'll transition more to college life in my second semester of the year, though."
As he focuses on the stretch run of his final regular season of high school football, Adams will have one last playoff run at Sandy Creek. But he said the coaches at Georgia Tech have been in contact with him the entire way, and he's really pleased with the group of coaches that he'll play for starting in 2012.
Up next on the schedule for Adams is a trip to Atlanta next weekend for the Yellow Jackets' game against Clemson. He said he'll be bringing a few friends with him, and expressed excitement to get back on campus again.
Adams has been happy with the bowl-eligible Yellow Jackets in 2011 so far, but he added that he definitely didn't take Tech's loss to Virginia well.
"Man, that hit me really hard," Adams said.

Kent has always been considered a "people person." His special attribute came in handy professionally and landed him a job at MSA. He discovered MSA after a chance meeting with Dr. Kuehn.
At first, Kent never thought he would be in the business development industry or at MSA because, "it was hard to imagine not being directly in the 'people business'." Kent has been working at MSA for over seven years, particularly on education and gaming projects. His favorite and most successful project was the, "creation of a newsletter for the gaming industry," he says. "We coordinate with other divisions to collect data from 26 states, to analyze and distribute five monthly editions, and provide help-services for subscribers."
Outside of work, Kent loves to spoil his grandchildren, travel, fish and cook. He is even bold enough to sometimes partake in all of his hobbies on weekends without wearing a watch.

NEW! Zareba® Revolutionary Sectional Copper Ground Kit
Proper grounding is vital to the effectiveness of your electric fence system.
Our NEW! Zareba® Copper Sectional Ground Rod Kit comes with four-2 ft copper coated ground rod sections that screw into one another, a hardened steel tip that breaks through rock while it is being driven into the ground, an anvil and a ground clamp.
You know that an electric fence is a great way to protect your property, and to keep your livestock safe and secure. But, did you also know that any electric fence is only as good as its grounding system? In fact, in most cases, when a fence is not working, the problem can be traced back to improper grounding. Professional fence builders know that there are challenges when buying and installing conventional grounding rods. That is because typical grounding rods are usually 6 to 8 feet long - making them difficult to transport and difficult to install.
How it Works: The grounding circuit is a critical component of your electric fence and is essential for it to function properly. The charger, or energizer, is designed to alter the electric charge into a power that is safe for animals and people.
If the animal and the ground terminal of the charger are not sufficiently grounded, the path of electric current cannot be completed and the animal will not feel the shock. Since earth provides half of the electric field circuit, it is crucial to have a properly installed ground circuit.
Technology: When an animal touches the electrically charged fence wire, the animal feels the electric current as the charge passes through its body. The charge then continues the circuit through the earth to the ground rod and then up the ground wire to the ground terminal of the charger.
Simple Setup:
- Step 1: Insert the male end of the ground rod into the pointed tip.
- Step 2: Place the black anvil into the female end of the ground rod.
- Step 3: With a rubber mallet, hammer bottom piece of the ground rod into earth.
- Step 4: Place 2nd part of ground rod on top of the rod that is in the earth (should stand 8 ft tall).
- Step 5: With a wrench, attach the clamp to the ground rod
- Step 6: Attach wire to the ground rod clamp.
- Step 7: Tighten wire to the clamp with wrench.
TIP: While pounding in your ground rods, apply a steady stream of water at the entry point. This helps soften the ground for easier installation.
How to Install Ground Rods for your Electric Fence
Zareba® is the largest manufacturer of electric fence systems offering durable, reliable electric fence products for all of your animal fencing needs.

Expert Tips
Follow the instructions in the owners manual, they will guide you through the process. One terminal of the charger will connect to the fence while the other terminal will connect to earth ground wire. Click on image at right to enlarge.
Sandy, dry and rocky soils may require a ground-wire return system or "Two Wire System".
Make sure you have connected the grounding rod properly: It must go to the ground terminal on the charger. Do not make the mistake of connecting it to the fence wire or fence terminal!
Longer fences or areas where the soil is dry rocky or sandy may require more grounding rods. Multiple rods should be 10 feet apart and 50 feet from any other grounding system. Each rod will then need to be connected using insulated wire.
Grounding rods may be copper or galvanized. The benefit of copper is that it transports the electrical charge more efficiently than the galvanized rod; however, it is more expensive than a galvanized rod.
- FAQs
Answers to the FAQs
Q: How does a ground system work?
A: An animal touching the fence wire and the earth simultaneously provides a path for electricity to follow.
The electricity passes through the animal into the soil and back to the ground rods, which are connected to the ground terminal of the fence charger. Only then is the circuit complete and the animal receives an electrical shock.
Q: What type of hook-up wire should I use?
A: We recommend an 8-foot ground rod/clamp/20,000 volt insulated hook-up wire in most cases.
Q: Besides the charger, posts and fence wire, what else do I need for properly grounding my fence?
A: You'll need several other items to properly ground your electric fence. Here's what we recommend:
- (Three) 6-foot or 8-foot copper or galvanized 5/8" ground rods (A-7, A-21 or A-22)
- (One) insulated hookup wire, 12 ½ or 14 gauge
- (Three) Heavy Duty galvanized ground rod clamps
- Line clamps to connect insulated hookup wire to the fence line. The type of clamp used will vary with the type of fence line you are using.
Q: How do you check your grounding system?
A: Check your ground system by placing a metal rod (12-18 inches) into the ground at a distance of about 3 feet from the ground rod(s).Attach one voltmeter lead to the metal rod and connect the other lead to the ground rod. If the voltmeter shows more than 500 volts (0.5 kilovolts), it will be necessary to replace the existing ground rod by a longer one, or to add more ground rods. The distance between any two ground rods should be at least 10 feet.

Kilfenora Céilí Band, Singers and dancers to wow audiences with high-spirited choreographed show.
On Friday August 19th 2016, 8pm one of the oldest céilí bands in the world, the Kilfenora Céilí Band from Co. Clare will be joined by singer Edel Vaughan, former Riverdance lead Michael Donnellan , Deirdra Kiely, Laura Minogue, and Michael Gardiner plus the Energetic Clare Set Dancers to perform an exciting and energetic show to wow Irish and International audiences. This expertly choreographed show of high-spirited traditional music features energetic and athletic dancing, melodious song and witty story-telling from guest artists that is not only engaging and uplifting but utterly enjoyable.
Acknowledged as one of the world's most renowned traditional bands, the Kilfenora Céilí Band are constantly finding new ways to bring their age old traditions to new audiences with tours to Glastonbury (headline concerts on their acoustic stage) and concerts in New York's prestigious Lincoln Center as well as tours around Ireland and Europe.
Their concert performances and recent recordings, including Now is The Hour (2015) point to a broadening of the perceived boundaries of their genre. Collaborations with a diverse range of song and dance artists, experimentation with repertoire outside of the dance domain and complex harmonic arrangements speak to an ensemble that is pioneering new and exciting performance contexts for the céilí band genre. While acknowledging and incorporating the past, the Kilfenora thrives on creativity and innovation.
Seán Keane from County Galway is described as the 'greatest musical find of the 90s' by The London Independent. Traditional Irish, folk and even country and blues songs all lend themselves to his unique style and unforgettable voice. Growing up in a family of singers and musicians, Seán learned the sean-nós style of singing from his mother and his aunts. Singing was his life, even in early childhood; by the time Seán reached his teens, he had collected thirteen All-Ireland medals in Fleadh Ceoil competitions. He was by then an accomplished whistle and flute player as well and had taken up the uilleann pipes and bodhrán.
When he joined his first group, 'Shegui', he had already served a long apprenticeship; after travelling throughout Europe with the band, he left to join 'Reel Union', a group which also featured sister Dolores and accordion player Máirtín O`Connor. Later, he was part of 'Arcady', with such well known names as Johnny 'Ringo' McDonagh, Sharon Shannon and Frances Black. After a short flirtation with the theatre when he played in the Druid production of the `Midnight Court` and the Abbey Theatre's 'Sheep's Milk on the Boil', Seán embarked on his solo career in 1993. 'All Heart , No Roses' received rave reviews and was chosen as 'Debut Folk Album of the Year' by Q Magazine.
In the years following, success continued with Meteor Award nominations, 'Best Male Folk Performer' from Irish Music Magazine (three times) ,a similar award from the London 'Irish World', as well as numerous Irish accolades. 'A Portrait', a collection of Seán`s songs, is a multi-platinum Irish seller. All of his solo albums are platinum sellers and remain in constant demand.
Six solo albums later, Seán Keane continues to delight audiences all over the world with his live performances and recorded work. He tours regularly with his band in Ireland, Austria, Germany, the US and Canada as well as appearing at major festivals world-wide.

All hail the Queen and Princess!
Princess Charlotte made her first public appearance on Saturday during Queen Elizabeth's official 90th birthday bash at the Trooping the Colour parade in London, England.
WATCH: Kate Middleton Shares Sweetest Photos of Princess Charlotte on Eve of Daughter's First Birthday
The royal family came together to celebrate the Queen – who's birthday is actually April 21 -- but it was little Charlotte who stole the show. The 1-year-old wore a smocked dress and shoes in pale pink, and her hair was swept to the side by a matching pink clip. But most importantly, she waved to the crowd, just like her big brother did during his Buckingham Palace balcony debut during last year's annual military parade.
The Queen looked just as smashing, marking her milestone birthday in a vibrant green coat and dress by Stewart Parvin and matching hat by Rachel Trevor Morgan, which was decorated with cerise colored flowers.

The streets of London were filled with more than 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and approximately 400 musicians. The parade route extended from Buckingham Palace along The Mall to Horse Guards Parade, Whitehall and circled back.

Queen Elizabeth has enjoyed several celebrations, including an opulent horse show with many members of her family and a recent visit from Barack and Michelle Obama.
In honor of the Queen's birthday, Twitter also created a purple crown emoji that pops up when you write #Queenat90 or #HappyBirthdayYourMajesty.

|[ISSUE] - bin/activemq.bat for Windows users
|Wed, 13 Nov 2013 12:21:40 GMT
Hi I was looking at ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3101 I wonder why starting ActiveMQ on windows and unix is different, according to http://activemq.apache.org/version-5-getting-started.html#Version5GettingStarted-StartingActiveMQ On windows we tell users to do bin\activemq And on unix bin/activemq start eg on unix you pass in the start command. I would prefer that on Windows you should pass on the command as well such as bin\activemq start Otherwise you cannot get the help syntax by just using bin/activemq Usage: Main [--extdir <dir>] [task] [task-options] [task data] Tasks: browse - Display selected messages in a specified destination. bstat - Performs a predefined query that displays useful statistics regarding the specified broker create - Creates a runnable broker instance in the specified path. decrypt - Decrypts given text dstat - Performs a predefined query that displays useful tabular statistics regarding the specified destination type encrypt - Encrypts given text export - Exports a stopped brokers data files to an archive file list - Lists all available brokers in the specified JMX context purge - Delete selected destination's messages that matches the message selector query - Display selected broker component's attributes and statistics. start - Creates and starts a broker using a configuration file, or a broker URI. stop - Stops a running broker specified by the broker name. So I would if we should change this for Windows in the activemq.bat file, to not have the "start" command in there. So its consistent with unix. And also fixes AMQ-3101 Anyone know any reason about the "start" in the bin/activemq.bat file? -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- Red Hat, Inc.

Despite research that demonstrates the bottom-line benefits of gender equity, employers' efforts to meet gender diversity goals in talent acquisition and succession planning are falling short, according to an online survey by The Executive Search Group LLC.
Approximately 80 percent of the 600 respondents to the "Women in Leadership Roles 2010 Survey" reported their employers view a gender-diverse talent pool as an advantage, and nearly that many (78 percent) ranked their current employer as either a good or excellent gender-diverse workplace compared to other places they have worked.
Nearly half of the female executives surveyed, however, said a lack of advancement opportunities had driven them to consider leaving their jobs. The two most common reasons: Women felt their contributions were not being valued, and they believed they were being excluded from informal executive networks.
"Striving for a level playing field requires effort," the Executive Search Group's report concluded. "Someone must actively mange an executive search to ensure that female executives are adequately represented in the pool of candidates to be interviewed. If only one woman is among a half dozen or more to be interviewed, that's not a level playing field."

Fun in one!
Sail Date: October 03, 2016
Reviewed: 8 months ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Oceanview
Taking this cruise to Catalina and Ensenada seemed short, but in that short time, there was plenty of fun-packed activities and entertainment on board! We filled our tummies with delicious food made by the chefs served all meals of the day (and then some!). I was a bit disappointed with the trip to Ensenada. Some of the excursions were not close by the port. The museum compensated though. Anyway, time spent in each place seemed short. I would stay overnight next time we visit (not through cruising). It's a great way to discover each place too, to see what they offer and what's to see around town. The whole cruise was a great experience... even won some extra $$ from the casino! It's a moving vegas hotel and as long as you don't mind ship rocking (not too bad), it's very worth it! 4 stars (came short on lunch entrees, though I know it's ship food).

Proven Leaders (12 of 20) by Roger Thomas
This content is part of a series.Proven Leaders (12 of 20)
Series: Forever Living in a Whatever World
Roger Thomas
Philippians 2:19-24
Introduction: I am often asked by youngsters and older new comers to our church, "what's with the pictures on the wall" in the lower foyer. People who are unfamiliar with the terminology ask, "What's a Timothy?" I generally give the simple answer first. "Those are pictures of men who grew up in this church and are now in the ministry." A few will inquire further, "Why are they called Timothies?"
The answer to that of course requires some Bible background. A part of the answer is found in our text.
Timothy was the offspring of a mixed marriage. His mother was Jewish (Eunice); his father was Greek. He grew up in a part of what is now known as Turkey (Lystra). It is altogether possible that his father had died or left his family. At any rate, Timothy grew up under the influence of his mother and grandmother (Lois). Timothy becomes a Christian during one of Paul's missionary trips to his home town. Paul would later refer to him as his "son in the faith."
When Paul passes through Lystra later, he invites Timothy to join his mission team. For the next several years, he traveled with Paul and company. Timothy sometimes served as his scribe, writing letters that Paul dictated to his churches. More than that, Timothy became Paul's go to guy. He sent him as a messenger and his representative to some of the most troublesome situations. The two letters that bear his name (1 and 2 Timothy) carried instructions for his ministry in Ephesus where he was sent to help organize the church, guide in the selection of leaders, and instruct the church on dealing with false teachers who threatened their well-being.
When this letter was written, Paul is in jail (most likely under house arrest in Rome) for preaching the message of Jesus. After a messenger arrives from one of his closest churches (Philippi) with a financial gift and some queries abo ...

Sign up now to join the NC State community.
Free 7-day trial!
NC State last season: 24-13 overall, 9-7 in ACC, lost to Kansas in Sweet 16 of NCAA tournament.
Scout.com class rank: 5
Full recruiting class: Rodney Purvis, SG; T.J. Warren, SF; Tyler Lewis, PG
Best player of the class: Ranked No. 18 overall in the 2012 class, Purvis is the top rated recruit in North Carolina State's class. At 6-foot-5, Purvis is a strong, physical guard that is at his best attacking the rim basket in transition. He should help Mark Gottfried's bunch out of the gate with his ability to put up points.
The one that got away: Amile Jefferson, PF. In a battle with Duke, North Carolina State was close with Jefferson, a five-star prospect, but in the end couldn't seal the deal. Jefferson ended up at Duke after a long, drawn-out recruiting process.
|Click on the photos to learn more about NC State's commits.
What to expect from them next year: With the addition of Purvis and Warren, North Carolina State is adding a pair of prospects that can put up points in a hurry. While Purvis is great in transition and going to the rim, Warren is a well-balanced scorer that can pump in points from all three levels. Lewis, a 5-foot-11 lead guard, will find a role as Lorenzo Brown's back-up next season.
Will live up to the hype because ...: Based on North Carolina State's roster they have a serious need for wing scorers. Well, Purvis and Warren fit that billing and should have an opportunity to help right away.
Won't live up to the hype because ...: Will there be enough shots to go around? The need for points from the wing is there, but will they be split between Purvis and Warren? Can they coexist?
In their words ...: "They were at every single one of my games. That stood out to me. If coach Gottfried couldn't be there he would have two guys from the staff there. That right there let me know how much they wanted me." -- Rodney Purvis
"I feel like they are on the come-up. I just want to go in there and help bring the excitement back to Raleigh, N.C." -- T.J. Warren
"I felt like they wanted me there, and that was big. Coach Gottfried said he likes my basketball IQ, how I can lead a team, my passing ability, things like that. Overall I just got a good feel for what they expect of me." -- Tyler Lewis

More information
I wouldn't have found this product, however it was recommended to me by my beauty therapist. It is pricey, for a toner, I appreciate that, but I do feel like it really works.
Toner's generally just give my face a tight feeling & confirm that my face is super clean but this toner leaves my skin feeling refreshed & hydrated.
I think it's a bit early to tell (just 2 weeks) but I do feel like my skin tone is starting to even out due to acne scarring being minimised.
I would definitely give this a shot if your suffering from breakouts & want an effective but non-drying toner.

In a nondescript building in the industrial area between Sarasota and Bradenton, a small group of scientists are already doing the kind of work that Jackson Lab hopes to do at a personalized medicine institute in Sarasota County.
Within its modest concrete block walls, the Roskamp Institute team of 50 has $30 million worth of equipment for identifying proteins that pop up during illnesses including Alzheimer's, proteins they hope to use to design new drugs.
Founded with money from Sarasota's assisted-living magnate Robert Roskamp, the institute started in 1998 in affiliation with the University of South Florida, then broke off as a separate nonprofit in Manatee County in 2003.
The Roskamp team is involved in three spinoff businesses. For one, a wing of the institute's building will be converted into a drug-manufacturing plant by the end of the summer.
So far, Roskamp is doing all this on relatively paltry budget by biotechnology standards: $6 million to $10 million per year.
The institute is bulging at the seams. It plans to hire both scientists and production-line employees as drug production nears, says Dr. Michael Mullan, Roskamp's director.
Now ensconced in roughly 50,000 square feet, Mullan figures he needs 150,000 square feet to accommodate the next few years of growth.
That would put Roskamp's space needs roughly on par with Jackson's proposed personalized medicine institute, which is seeking more than $300 million in funding from the state, Sarasota County and private donors.
That gives Mullan an interesting perspective on bringing Jackson to Southwest Florida.
"Our region has a solid base in the life sciences," Mullan says. He supports Jackson's proposed institute, but he also wants to raise Roskamp's profile in the community — and get the same kind of local philanthropic funding that is a major drawing card for the Maine-based lab.
Two Jackson Lab officials recently toured the Roskamp labs.
"I was impressed," said Mike Hyde, Jackson's vice president-advancement and part of the advance team working in Florida. "I think it is an innovative and forward-looking institution, and there is a lot of interesting work going on there."
Ken Shelin, a former Sarasota city commissioner who had a long career as a federal regulatory compliance manager involved in drug approvals, said he too has been impressed.
"You don't have to be huge. What you need is brain power," Shelin said.
Promising discoveries
Roskamp's team, supported by private donations and funding from the National Institutes of Health, has made important discoveries aimed at treating Alzheimer's disease, and those discoveries have so far spawned three spinoff ventures. They are not big yet, but each has promising potential.
One of them — still mostly under wraps — involves turning a wing of the institute's 50,000-square-foot building used for storage into a clean room pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.
To be operational by August, this small drug factory, operating under strict federal guidelines, will produce the active pharmaceutical agent for a new drug.
Roskamp officials said they were bound by confidentiality agreements not to disclose the company that they are working with or the name of the drug.
After this pharmaceutical agent is produced in Southwest Florida, it will be shipped elsewhere for packaging into the finished drug product.
More out in the open is the company's discovery and commercialization plans for Nilvadipine, a drug that is already approved in Europe and in Japan for treatment of hypertension.
Starting with an elaborate three-dimensional computer modeling system that shows the interaction of known chemical compounds with proteins produced by the human body, Roskamp's science team discovered that this existing drug can stop the accumulation of amyloid proteins, implicated in Alzheimer's disease.
To commercialize the use of that drug and to develop follow-up drugs built on the way this existing drug interacts in the brain, Roskamp created a separate for-profit company called Archer Pharmaceuticals.
Mullan admits he is a shareholder in that Archer spinoff.
Spinoff ventures
The whole idea at Roskamp, he said, is that once the nonprofit lab's workers get to the point where they have what they think is a drug, it is time to spin it off, because running the multiple clinical trials costs tens of millions of dollars and requires its own highly focused effort.
Archer Pharmaceuticals pays Roskamp for work done on its behalf. Archer has licensed the use of Nilvadipine in the United States for the treatment of Alzheimer's.
Archer's second-generation drug, which will slow the growth of the amyloid proteins in the brain but not affect blood pressure, will provide even larger potential profits for Archer and, through royalties, for the Roskamp Institute.
Because Nilvadipine is an existing drug, it has been quicker to move into the all-important phase three clinical trials, which are now getting underway in Europe. The drug already has been tested for safety with existing Alzheimers' patients. The next tests will measure its efficacy.
In a separate venture also aimed at improving the lives of Alzheimers' patients, Roskamp is investigating the use of an existing nutraceutical derived from tobacco on behalf of Star Scientific, a publicly held company based in Glen Allen, Va.
In March, the Food and Drug Administration gave Star's efforts a huge boost by stating that Star's two existing tobacco-based products Ariva and Stonewall are not subject to regulation as drugs. In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing in March, Star also revealed that Roskamp, which already had invested $1 million in Star stock a year earlier at $1.50 per share, had invested another $1 million in Star at $4.
'They don't want to leave'
All along, Mullan says, his model has been "to create a kind of mini-Scripps," meaning an applied research organization with as little bureaucracy as possible.
There are no classes to teach, staff meetings are kept within reason, and there is very little sense of hierarchy within the lab.
While the Roskamp scientists have been widely published in scientific journals, that is not their primary mission either.
Because of this atmosphere and the results the small institute has achieved, Mullan said he has no difficulty attracting scientists.
"Typically when we ask for high-quality scientists in a particular area, they come in droves," Mullan said. "And generally speaking, when people come, they don't want to leave."
Jackson Lab model already exists here
In a nondescript building in the industrial area between Sarasota and Bradenton, a small group of scientists are already doing the kind of work that Jackson Lab hopes to do at a personalized medicine institute in Sarasota County.

CHICAGO -- Greg Maddux got shoved out of the dugout for a curtain call after a rare home run, a strange sight for sure at Wrigley Field.
But this was not like any other regular-season game, even though it was. It was the Cubs meeting the Red Sox for the first time since the 1918 World Series, and there was an electricity all day.
Everyone could feel it. Even the 39-year-old Maddux, known for his no-big-deal shoulder shrugs, was soaking it up.
"It's always fun. There's not a lot of history between these two teams and I think that's what made it a little bit special today," Maddux said after the Cubs erupted for 20 hits -- four homers -- to rout the World Series champions 14-6 Friday in Red Sox's first visit ever to Wrigley.
"The Red Sox were our rival in Atlanta for a couple of years, so you are lucky enough to pitch in Fenway and face them," said Maddux, now 5-0 against Boston.
"They're the best team in baseball until somebody beats them and nobody's done it yet. So just going up against last year's champions, that's special enough."
Maddux (5-3) got career win No. 310, allowing seven hits and three runs in 6 2/3 innings, including David Ortiz's sixth-inning homer. Ortiz also homered in the ninth for Boston.
An electric crowd of 39,215, including a noisy contingent of red-clad Red Sox fans, withstood a sweltering 89-degree day of high humidity.
"It had sort of a playoff atmosphere," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. "Other than the Cardinals series rarely do you see as many fans on their side as our side."
Jeromy Burnitz hit two of the Cubs' homers.
"It was nice and loud. I loved when Maddux got his curtain call and after he was done. A lot of noise and a lot of energy," Burnitz said.
The 39-year-old Maddux connected off reliever John Halama in the sixth inning.
"I hit it high enough for the wind to blow it far enough," Maddux said of his fifth career homer and first in six years.
Burnitz added a two-run homer in the sixth to make it 11-2.
Burnitz hit a solo homer, and Todd Hollandsworth had a two-run shot in the second. And the Cubs added four more runs in the third off Bronson Arroyo (4-3), using five hits, including Michael Barrett's two-run double off Johnny Damon's glove in center. Jason Varitek's throwing error allowed another run to score and Aramis Ramirez had an RBI single.
"Playing here in Wrigley I think our outfielders got a chance to see how the ball can carry and it did," Damon said. "That ball Barrett hit came off my glove and, of course, I wish I could have caught it but it just kept going and going."
Chicago scored three more in the seventh, with Hollandsworth and Barrett hitting RBI doubles.
"It's a worst case scenario. Going out there against a guy like Greg Maddux, to give him seven runs early, it's putting us in a hole that's almost impossible to get out of most of the time," Arroyo said.
"You never want to go out there and get embarrassed, like I did today. That's enough to get you going, but it's definitely fun to pitch in a ballpark where the atmosphere is upbeat."
Former Cub Bill Mueller doubled and scored on Edgar Renteria's hot-shot RBI single off Neifi Perez's glove in the third.
Boston scored three runs in ninth on Mark Bellhorn's leadoff homer and Ortiz's two-run shot -- his 16th of the season.
The Red Sox enjoyed the atmosphere, if not the result.
"I thought it was great. We know the Cubs have some great fans and we had a lot of fans that traveled here to see us," Damon said.
The teams, known more for their curses than their postseason success until the Red Sox broke through and won the World Series last season, were meeting in the regular season for the first time.
The last time they faced off, Babe Ruth was pitching the Red Sox to the world title in six games. Boston didn't win another one until last season, so one of the teams with a so-called curse is off the hook.
The Cubs still haven't won a World Series since 1908 or been in once since 1945 when, according to legend, a local bar owner put a hex on the team because his goat was barred from Game 4.
The agony for long-suffering Red Sox fans may have ended, the "The Curse of the Bambino" over with a victory over the Yankees and then the Cardinals last fall.
In Chicago, it continues.
"Now half of it's over and the other half of it is to be completed by us," Baker said before the game. "Then what? I'm anxious to get there and find out the 'then what."'
- Maddux's last homer came on May 30, 1999, with Atlanta against the Dodgers. He hit it off Kevin Brown.
- When the Cubs and Red Sox met in the 1918 World Series, three games were played at Comiskey Park.
- Through the 2004 season, 152 players had played for both the Cubs and the Red Sox.
- Despite the rare meeting, only four members of Boston's 25-man roster Friday had never played at Wrigley Field.

The effect of air drag on satellite orbits of small eccentricity, $e < 0.2$, is considered. A model of the atmosphere that allows for oblateness is adopted, in which the density behaviour approximates to the observed diurnal variation. The equations governing the changes due to drag in the semi-major axis $a$, and in $x = ae$, during one revolution of the satellite are integrated, the density scale-height $H$ being assumed constant. The resulting expressions for $\Delta a$ and $\Delta x$ are presented to third order in $e$. Compact expressions for the gradient $da/dx$, and for the mean air density at perigee altitude $\rho_1$ are obtained, when $H$ is allowed to vary with altitude. An equivalence between the variable-$H$ and the constant-$H$ equations is demonstrated, provided that the value of $H$ used in the latter is chosen appropriately.

UPDATE 2-Brazil, banks to finalize electricity fund loan in late April -source
(Recast with possible loan disbursement and context)
By Alonso Soto and Guillermo Parra-Bernal
BRASILIA/SAO PAULO, April 7 (Reuters) - A syndicated loan aimed at helping struggling Brazilian electricity distributors cope with the impact of dry weather could be finalized by the end of April, a source with knowledge of the plan told Reuters on Monday.
The government and banks are discussing the terms of the possible loan worth 8 billion reais ($3.6 billion) to electricity industry clearinghouse CCEE, a senior executive at Banco Bradesco SA said earlier on Monday.
The plan, aimed at shoring up the finances of ailing power distributors, will likely take the form of loan rather than a bond sale, said Sergio Figueiredo, Bradesco's senior vice president for wholesale and private banking, at an event in Sao Paulo.
Private banks are expected to have an "important participation" in the loan, said the source, who declined to say how much money those banks are willing to disburse. The source added that any contribution from state-run banks will not have an impact on the budget since the National Treasury does not intend to finance them.
Rating agencies have voiced worries about the involvement of public funds in the operation after a sharp erosion of the country's fiscal accounts prompted Standard & Poor's to cut Brazil's rating closer to junk territory in March.
Three sources with knowledge of the situation told Reuters in March that state-controlled lenders Banco do Brasil SA and Caixa Econômica Federal SA have discussed terms of the transaction with the government, as well as Bradesco. Caixa and Banco do Brasil repeatedly declined to comment. Continuación...

Trainee at Stamford Bridge
Born in Ealing, west London, and reputedly supported Queen's Park Rangers as a boy. Signed by Chelsea as a trainee and was a contemporary of Carlton Cole, but was released at 19. Began playing part-time for Wealdstone in the Ryman League where his modest form initially led them to loan him to Uxbridge. He has known hard times. "I've had £40 to last the month and I was only in the second week," he recalls on the fan website jermainebeckford.co.uk. "I've had to scrimp and scrape. I've worked for the RAC [fitting tyres], in sports shops, in supermarkets, in an office, fitting windscreens, all sorts."
Early promise
Began scoring prolifically for Wealdstone, attracting an offer of a trial from Crystal Palace, who played him against Arsenal reserves. This forced the hand of Leeds' then manager Kevin Blackwell, who paid £45,000 to sign him in 2006. "I always knew it would be a tough period of my life," he later told the Leeds programme. "I'd jumped up six leagues and the quality was a totally different level. The pace was quicker, the players more aware. I tried to embrace it and wait for my chance."
Goal of the season
Early in 2007, Leeds' new manager Dennis Wise farmed him out to Scunthorpe on loan. He scored eight goals to help Nigel Adkins' side gain promotion, including the Football League's Goal of the Season for League One. Adkins tried to buy him during the summer but Leeds having passed Scunthorpe on the way down, brought him back to Elland Road.
Scoring touch
Statistically speaking, his 78 goals in 129 appearances for Leeds – 24 of them already this season – put him in the company of celebrated forwards such as the late John Charles, Peter Lorimer, Mick Jones and Lee Chapman, albeit at a lower level. Last season he netted 34 times in 37 appearances, five of which came as substitute, which was the fourth highest aggregate in Leeds' 91-year history and only the sixth occasion one of their players had passed the 30 mark.
The complete package?
Quick off the mark and adept at timing his runs, as he showed before converting Jonathan Howson's long pass for the winner at Manchester United in the FA Cup third round. Can finish with either foot, and at 6ft 2in, is strong in the air. Lack of goals in Leeds' play-off final defeat to Doncaster at Wembley (2008), a missed penalty against Millwall in last year's semi-final and chances spurned against Liverpool in the Carling Cup led many to argue that he did not have the composure to score in big games. Three goals at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane, the last a nerveless stoppage-time spot-kick to take the fourth-round tie to tonight's replay at Elland Road, seem to have answered the critics.
Doubts over his attitude
There have been question marks over his disciplinary record and team ethic. Last season he was sent off twice, once for elbowing Millwall keeper David Forde, which resulted in a three-game ban for violent conduct. This season he has picked up just three bookings. Submitting a transfer request before an FA Cup tie at Manchester United revived doubts about his attitude. It was later withdrawn although he is expected to sign for Everton when his contract ends this summer.
Public image
Wary of reporters, saying he prefers to focus exclusively on football, he did not do TV interviews even after scoring twice at Tottenham. Has been portrayed as surly and cocksure, although colleagues say he is actually shy. Has tattoos on his neck and arms but less has been seen of his ear-piercings.
What they say about him
"He's a goalscorer, pure and simple. He still has a bit to learn in his all-round play, but inside the box he's very dangerous." (Jimmy Armfield, ex-Leeds manager).
"I know enough about this game to spot a born goalscorer, but there has to be a question mark about whether he can do it in the Premier League." (Allan Clarke, former Leeds and England striker).
