Through the now forty-five previous editions of the "USPlabs Iron Day" we have been able to provide our readers a broad array of training regimes to reflect their goals. Whether interest lay in strength and bodybuilding pursuits, weight loss, needs of the military and law enforcement community or athletics, these training guides can serve as a tremendous blueprint towards goal achievement.
This effort came about due to radically improved technology that allows us to communicate with readers to which we are ability to quickly respond to their needs. With an open line of communication via Twitter, Google+ and Facebook we have been able to provide up-to-date information on efficient exercise approaches and ensure all readers utilize USPlabs products just as I have to their utmost.
Tammy Bravomalo discusses her supplement stack.
This commitment to providing information has taken a tremendous leap forward with the very recent release of the USPlabs | Ultra Premium Supplements educational library which houses considerable videos on proper exercise technique and suitable for virtually every method of training. As we push forward with the USPlabs Iron Day we will be making great use of these videos and I invite you to share with your friends.
As per our original intent of the USPlabs Iron Day, each Friday we will provide a daily training program (per reader choice), with a follow up supplement protocol on Facebook. Readers would cast their vote via Twitter (through either direct message or the "@" function) or Facebook and decide the topic.

Besides a PSD and Vector version there should also be a favicon (16x16 and 64x64) that works well with the logo icon/signet
The icon signet may have a color dependent from the object (green leaves, blue water, whatever) but should also work in other colors or even with grayscale.
Please ask if you have any questions. I'll do my best to respond quickly. I'll also do my best to give quick feedback to submissions.

Anton Kusters is a Belgium-based photographer specializing in long-term projects. In 2011, he published his first photobook on the Yakuza, the Japanese organized crime families, that he photographed for two years.
Tell us about your Yakuza project.
'YAKUZA is a personal visual account of the life inside an inaccessible subculture: A traditional Japanese crime family that controls the streets of Kabukicho, in the heart of Tokyo, Japan. Through 10 months of negotiations with the Shinseikai, my brother Malik and I became one of the only Westerners ever to be granted this kind of access to the closed world of Japanese organized crime.
'With a mix of photography, film, writing and graphic design, I try to share not only their complex relationship to Japanese society, but also the personal struggle of being forced to live in two different worlds at the same time; worlds that often have conflicting morals and values. It turns out not to be a simple black versus white relationship, but most definitely one with many, many, many shades of grey.'
How were you granted this rare access and why were you drawn to the Yakuza?
'We were granted access after negotiating with them for about 10 months. My brother, who lives in Tokyo, and our fixer, Taka-san, led the negotiations as the three of us talked about what my intentions were, the way I wanted to tackle the project, and that what I wanted to create was an art project, not journalistic in any way. After those 10 months, they were sure we could be trusted and agreed to me publishing a photo book, and so we were granted access to photograph them for two years.'
You work primarily on long-term projects. How do you go about conceiving, organizing and executing a long-term project?
'Pretty much the same as any other project … with the difference that you have to keep a keen eye on expenses along the way and be stricter with your budget as to not let it get out of control.
'For me, having several long-term projects going on at the same time is like freedom … I can choose which project I feel like doing on any given day, and regularly switch from one to the other without immediate effect on the other. They key is to have more than one long-term project at the same time, and to regularly have short-term projects as well, to keep your mind sharp.'
How does a longer time commitment influence the story being told?
'I think time makes you understand more, and it gives you the chance to make mistakes and correct them along the way. Because making mistakes is necessary, and accepting them and being able to correct them and move on is important.
'I'm kind of a slow learner, everything has to seep in, so maybe, in a way, this is me safeguarding myself against my mistakes, and giving me time to understand things better, to the point that I am happy.'
Where do other mediums like writing and film fit into your work? Do they inspire your work?
'Of course. … As usual all things NOT photography inspire me most: writing, music, film and design are all important things that help me grow in finding a way to use this visual language called photography to express myself.
'As for me using writing and film, it is about the story I want to tell. Everything and anything that can help me get my point across in the way that I want to get it across is important. If I could draw or paint, I would probably do that too.'
What role does symbolism play in your photography?
'I hope it plays a large role, but I feel very much like I am at the beginning of learning photography. Yakuza was literally my first large project and book. I already see that more and more with the new projects I am tackling, that what is actually happening in the photograph is less and less important, but that the meaning of it is becoming crucial.
'In a way, Yakuza was a very difficult project because nobody can look past the real part of it, because they are so mythical and famous.'
Are you currently working on a new long-term project?
Yes, there are three new long-term projects that I am working on.
Heavens takes symbolism in photography to its extreme, to the point where it actually becomes abstract, installation. It will take three years to complete and it involves me trying to conceptualize the weight that the Holocaust had and still has on mankind.
'With Dislocate, I try to photograph what the cities/places where people that I love live in, mean to me, while struggling to find my own home, my own place.
'Finally, I am deeply collaborating with a close friend of mine on a project he has recently photographed called a little glow in the dark. I'll be helping him bring his photographs to life by developing, editing, creating and publishing two books. This last thing is an illustration of the fact that I'm always looking for interesting collaborations with other people.
This post was contributed by photographer Greta Rybus.

Got two great bottles for xmas. A Laphroig quarter cask which is very rich and complex, also higher proof than standard due to the smaller batches. And a Knob Creek Rye which is really awesome. Been enjoying both all month (Brrr!). Anyone got some new spirits for the holidays? Oh, and Mrs. Durzo made me a DIY bar cart, which is beyond cool.

Post subject: Heart Monitor for Windsurfing?
Any experience out there with heart monitors? I would like to get as close to a traditional EKG as possible, worn in the surf using a wetsuit.
I talked to a couple of guys about this during rigging the other day -- one was on his second brand -- the first one wasn't really waterproof. They were wearing wristwatch receivers connected wirelessly to a chest strap worn under the wetsuit.
Any recommendations?

Just curious, why are you interested in wearing a heart monitor while windsurfing? Do you need to be readily aware of your heart's performance for health reasons?

I've considered that, just out of curiosity. Under a drysuit, I'd think the transmitter would work, but you'd need a waterproof or recording receiver. I finally ditched the idea after learning to guesstimate my heart rate by perception on a cardio machine (and reading that perceived level of effort is a pretty darned good measure of exertion and heart rate). I know from interval training with heart rate monitoring that my max heart rate is in the upper 160s; at 68, I'm oxygen-limited to about that level in a sprint, more like 160 sustained.
I sometimes feel the same in an all-out, whole-body, max-exertion run across big terrain in hammering conditions. Past of the cause is all the $#!+ I wear hampering my deepest breathing, but nevertheless I'm fairly sure my heart rate is maxing out briefly in my most intense and longer whole-body (slashing as hard and often as I can on a wave board) sustained efforts. If, however, I'm not using my legs and core and upper torso and arms at full effort pretty much full time, my heart rate stays a more comfortable 130-140 in rough terrain or even <130 if I'm not working pretty hard. It's gotta be more like 120 if I'm just blasting across the water on cruise control.
My bottom line is that until you find a waterproof AND reliable widget, some gym experimentation and baselines may help. And since interval training is FAR more beneficial than that long slow distance "cardio" training everybody else in the gym is doing, WSing can be a great workout if we frequently max out our heart and lungs. "Any exertion that doesn't kill us helps us live longer" isn't a joke.

Just a average no frills Polar HRM is waterproof, reliable and will last for atleast a couple of years before you neeed to do a battery replacement. I have one mounted on my MTB that I use everytime I ride. It is a great tool as it has a watch, timer and a HRM. So since I do alot of the same rides over and over I have waypoints, personal records to those waypoints and keep my pace in check by trying to keep a good time and keep my HR within my personal comfort zone. I am older and have ridden MTB's for twenty years and ride around 3-4 times a week during the non snow season. Not sure what exactly my max HR is but around mid 160's. I like to ride between 125 and 135 for 1-2 hr rides and can stay pretty comfortable in that range. Interestingly, my wife who rides with me a lot and just a few years younger can ride comfortably 140-150. I think if one is in good shape and is skilled at what ever activity they are doing like biking, running or just doing cardio at the gym they can do big workloads at lower HR's. I know I can. Anyway, windsurfing is alot of anarobic work so I would expect pretty high HR's but HR would be a lot of up and down. However, I have never tried my monitor windsurfing or even skiing for that matter. Probably just more working on skill level than maxing out my cardio.

That, explicitly and physiologically, is a major part of the reason interval exercise, in both training and play, is so superior to LSD. Learning that is one reason I lost interest in a HRM for WSing; it will neither tell me anything I don't know nor help me achieve any goals. It's obvious to me that my heart rate is all over the map on a good windy day, which tells me I'm maximizing my aerobic and anaerobic benefits ... at least for WSing ("cardiovascular" conditioning resides in our muscles at the cellular level; we can aerobically train our left bicep all by itself, for example, and champion distance runners and swimmers prove useless in the opposite sport because they use different muscles.)

I've used a Garmin Forerunner 310 XT to see how fast I was going. I plan on wearing a chest strap a couple of times to compare HR versus when I'm cycling. If I do it soon I will post, but so far the Garmin unit has performed well windsurfing.

Don't need real-time awareness -- want to be able to look at the data after a session.
Thanks for the responses so far.

Using a Garmin 310 while windsurfing my max heart rate recorded this summer was 97, for surfing this morning in Santa Cruz 93, highest number for running has been 154, and for cycling 180. In cycling I push myself harder than the other sports, in the other sports I try to keep my heart rate under control to help lengthen the time spent in that activity. But the Forerunner 310 has worked pretty well I think.

Post subject: Heart Monitor for Windsurfing
I wrote an article in 2010 "
GPS for Windsurfing
" about a GPS with heart monitor that I used for windsurfing and biking.
I use a
Garmin 310XT
and like it but it seems to read too high and too low after I miss a jibe. My guess is I wear keys around my neck under my wet suit that interfere with the signal from the strap after it gets wet.
Here is a recent trace
You can see my HR looked accurate until I missed a jibe after sailing 24 minutes and fell in.... then it soared to over 21o... which I doubt...
I will have to find a better place for my keys, but I also keep spare line on the loop around my neck so I like to have it handy...
I really like it otherwise.
Best Regards
Kirk Out

text: I've been busting my tail on my thesis lately and not doing much else, so when a friend invited me out to Tyler SP on Sunday with the Morning Glory Yoga Run Club, I had to come. Most of the group was there to do a 16mi trail run in training for the Tyler Marathon. The longest run I've done has been just over 4mi (partially on trails, I might add) so I wasn't up to that. But the time would give me the opportunity to do the whole ABCD loop.

Decanted approximately 1 hour before serving. Reasonable amount of sediment thrown off.
Color: Inky purple.
Nose: More tame than I had expected. Dark fruit, some earth and a hint of coffee.
Taste: Very tart on the tongue initially. Undifferentiated fruit in the background. Some tannins, but not overpowering. Some earth and anise lurking in the background. Less spicy and a bit more flat than I had hoped for.
Not a bad wine, but I had expected more "umph" from it. Perhaps the structure was never very tight, or at age eight it is starting a down hill slide. Probably would not buy the "Asinone" version again at the price I paid, but will seek out more VNdM to expand my experience base.

When USMC General John Allen's retirement was announced in February, our friend Hugh Hewitt called on Victor Davis Hanson to answer the question whether such a drain of military talent — the retirements of Generals McChrystal, Petraeus, Mattis and Allen, in that order — had ever previously occurred in our country's history over so short a period of time (30 months) because of retirement. "That they occurred during wartime," Hugh wrote, made "the loss of expertise even more shocking." Hanson stated there was no parallel. He added that it was a sort of reverse of General George Marshall's fabled "little black book of talent," wherein the great American was said to have kept track of the best talents in the military.
In the featured essay of this month's Commentary, Max Boot explains the misfortune. Commentary has placed Boot's essay online and I want to draw it to your attention: "How America lost its four great generals." Boot knows what he is talking about and it is an important essay. Boot concludes:
We do not have such a surplus of brilliant commanders that we can afford to wave away those like Petraeus and McChrystal and Allen and Mattis, who have demonstrated a mastery of the modern battlefield. We can only hope that President Obama's cavalier attitude toward the loss of their institutional knowledge, their leadership abilities, and their complex understanding of a dangerous world does not prove to be a tragedy for the nation.

Its will be good statistic tool, who will check all maps,to see how many games are waiting,active,finished, how many games are speed,freestule,manual, tournament.
Also will be good to get list of all maps, finished total,finished in one day games, active in day,waiting in day,all possible gameplay option calculated in one statistic list.
I dont know how to give example, but concept will be similar with map rank,instead to write player name,you write map name. I think that these will be great statistic tool.
qwert wrote:So its possibile.
I know that its possibile from site,but its very slow,and every gameplay option,need to do manualy.
For example,when i work on Map table,its take some time to check all 160 maps for finished games, and when you look how many gameplay option you have,its take very huge ammount of time to check all 160 maps.
Only few maps have over milion finished games, and all other have belove 100000 games
qwert wrote:well if classic have to many games,then this map can check manualy, its will be good if all other maps can check automaticaly.
Waiting games its not importan to much.
Do you all ready have some script who check all these gameplay options?

With Boulder Creek is at its highest level since the county began seeing widespread flooding, officials have ordered evacuations for the city at the mouth of Boulder Canyon.
The evacuation order is for all residents along Boulder Creek from the mouth of Boulder Canyon east to Broadway between Marine and Pearl streets.
City officials said that includes about 4,000 residents.
Around 2 a.m., officials said they did not have a timetable for lifting the evacuation order. Boulder Creek at that point was moving at 3,400 cubic feet per second, down from nearly 5,000 cubic feet per second at the time the evacuations were ordered.
All residents are warned to go to higher ground immediately due to the potential for flash flooding along the creek.
Boulder emergency officials, however, say evacuees should leave on foot and not drive as many city streets are impassable.
Residents north of Boulder Creek should move at least to Spruce Street, if not further. Residents south of Boulder Creek should move past Euclid Street.
Another 4,000 residents near Boulder Creek east of Broadway to 75th Street are urged to "shelter in place" on high ground.
Flood sirens have been activated throughout downtown Boulder.
Officials say there are mudslides at the mouth of Boulder Canyon 400 feet long and 4 feet deep as the sides of the canyon give way due to the saturation from the days long rain.
Boulder County emergency officials are worried that the mud and rock slides will clog Boulder Creek, causing water to collect upstream and then release, causing a sudden surge in water volume downstream.

Nothing. Yesterday Michele Bachmann was talking about her Iowa upbringing and uttered these completely unobjectionable lines:
"John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa," Mrs. Bachmann told Carl Cameron of Fox News in an interview. "That's the kind of spirit that I have, too."
My Lord, you would think she had said something really stupid, like that Franklin Roosevelt talked to our enemies, or had misquoted Churchill, or claimed that John Kennedy's Vienna summit was a marvelous success, or that Texas has always been a Republican state. But no: Wayne actually was from Winterset, Iowa, 100 miles or so from Waterloo. So, who cares? Did this in any way invalidate the comparison she drew? Not at all.
But Democratic Party news outlets immediately started going crazy. MinnPost, a Democratic web site here in Minnesota, got the ball rolling by writing that "Bachmann apparently confuses actor John Wayne with serial killer John Wayne Gacy." The site helpfully posted a YouTube video with the title "Michele Bachmann on John Wayne Gacy."
What on earth does serial killer John Gacy have to do with Bachmann's launch of her candidacy in Waterloo, Iowa? Nothing, except that some liberal figured out that he once lived there, before murdering 33 people in Chicago. Was Bachmann talking about him, or did she "confuse" John Wayne with a serial killer? Of course not. The whole thing was completely stupid.
But this is where it gets interesting. Because, no matter how dumb the John Wayne=John Gacy theme may have been, it wasn't too stupid for the national Democratic Party press, as my friend Brian Ward pointed out at Fraters Libertas. The New York Times picked up the irrelevant talking point:
The actor was actually born in Winterset, Iowa, which is about 150 miles southwest of Waterloo. It was John Wayne Gacy, known as the killer clown who raped and murdered 33 teenage boys in the 1970s, who lived in Waterloo.
The Los Angeles Times joined in, as did CBS News, which got the story wrong:
As the Washington Times first noted, however, the actor John Wayne was born nearly 150 miles away in Winterset, Iowa. John Wayne Gacy, Jr. — the serial killer — was born in Waterloo.
Gacy wasn't born in Waterloo, nor did the Washington Times say that he was. The Associated Press found significance in the story as part of a pattern of Bachmann getting things wrong:
And, on a less substantive note, she flubbed her hometown history when declaring "John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa," and "that's the kind of spirit that I have, too," in running for president.
The actor was born nearly 150 miles away. It was the serial killer John Wayne Gacy Jr. who lived, for a time, in Waterloo.
All of these Democratic Party news outlets gratuitously dragged serial killer John Gacy into the story even though he had nothing whatsoever to do with it, on the flimsy pretext that his middle name apparently was "Wayne." What in the world is going on here?
We are now seeing on a national level the same phenomenon that we have witnessed in Minnesota for some years. Democrats are convinced that Michele Bachmann is "crazy." Yet, in fact, she never does anything crazy, so they have to make stuff up. Their strategy is to find ways to introduce weird elements into their stories about Michele–here, a nearly-forgotten serial killer with the middle name "Wayne" who briefly lived in the town where Michele was born. They think that if they do this repeatedly, people will begin to associate Bachmann with weirdness, since it seems that whenever they hear about her, there is something wacky going on. But the craziness doesn't come from Michele, it comes from her Democratic Party critics.
Will the strategy work? It is too early to say, but it is perhaps worth noting that in Minnesota, it was a partial success. Michele has never lost an election, so the Democrats failed in their principal object. At the same time, they tarred her sufficiently with their ginned-up controversies that she could never win a state-wide election. So apparently the national Democratic news outlets think the strategy is worth replicating.

The World Trade Organization should be given the opportunity to finalize a new trade agreement before Congress begins the arduous task of writing the next farm bill, the president of the American Farm Bureau Federation said today.
Bob Stallman, a rice and cattle producer from Texas when he's not speaking for Farm Bureau, said that because Congress should know the outcome of the Doha Round of world trade talks before beginning a new farm bill, it should first extend the current legislation.
"This approach provides U.S. trade representatives the strongest negotiating leverage," Stallman told members of the House Agriculture Committee. He was one of several farm organization leaders who testified at a hearing on the new farm bill.
"The outcome of the negotiations, particularly as they relate to domestic support commitments, must be known and taken into account before we begin crafting a new farm bill," Stallman said in remarks prepared for delivery to the committee.
If Congress reduces domestic supports – as the Bush administration has proposed – "we have less leverage to use to convince other countries to reduce their tariffs and export subsidies," he said. "Our strongest negotiating leverage is to maintain our current programs until we agree to a WTO round that is beneficial for agriculture."
Referring to the dispute over tariffs – the issue which led to the collapse of the Doha Round in July – Stallman noted that U.S. agricultural exports face an average foreign tariff of 62 percent in the world's markets. The figure is more than five times higher than the average U.S. imposed agriculture tariff of 12 percent.
Additionally, the European Union uses 87 percent of the world's export subsidies, which severely disadvantages U.S. exports. The U.S. utilizes only 3 percent and the rest of the world uses the remaining 10 percent.
"Farmers and ranchers are willing to lower farm program payments via WTO negotiations if—and only if—they can secure increased opportunities to sell their products overseas," said Stallman. "However, we are not willing to unilaterally disarm."
Beyond the international trade implications and the loss of negotiating leverage, Stallman said farmers have other reasons to seek an extension of the current farm bill.
"The 2002 farm bill was carefully constructed to provide support for commodity, conservation, nutrition and export promotion programs. Congress struck a balance in funding each of those programs and it works," he said.
He also noted that the farm bill provides an adequate safety net to farmers and ranchers when commodity prices are low, and it continues to address the goal of producing a safe, abundant, domestic food supply.
Stallman encouraged Ag Committee members to take into account production expenses, such as fuel and fertilizer, which are expected to be much higher for the upcoming farm bill period. "With a significantly higher cost structure, and at a time when farmers are making investments to help secure our nation's energy future, changing the farm bill would be detrimental," he said.
"There is no question the existing farm bill is popular with farmers and ranchers throughout the country," said Stallman. "Continued maintenance of its structure and funding is a high priority for Farm Bureau."

Is this any way to run a city?
New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio's shocking announcement Monday that the city does not have the money to meet its $1.7 million payroll at the end of the week and will need the state to speed up payment of education cost-sharing funds so it doesn't go broke is another sad installment in a seemingly endless saga of municipal dysfunction.
Just last week the mayor appeared to be preparing to take painful but necessary steps toward repairing New London's badly damaged financial house, but the roof may have fallen in on this reasonable approach when the told the City Council in a special meeting, "I'm not here tonight to warn you that the sky is falling. I'm here tonight to tell you that it fell. It fell last week."
This newspaper finds such a doomsday warning particularly troubling. Why didn't Mr. Finizio or Finance Director Jeff Smith realize that potential calamity was so close at hand? Worse, what if they did know all along and weren't letting on? Or worst still, what if the situation really isn't that bad and the mayor and his administrators are manipulating an emergency to advance a misguided agenda?
These are questions residents must be asking, and judging from past performance the public may not expect a clear answer soon.
Without delving into the complexities of the city's messy finances, it is safe to say they reflect failed leadership and poor communication that unfortunately have become a New London hallmark.
This newspaper supported Mr. Finizio in his 2011 bid to become the city's first strong mayor in nearly a century, joining a chorus of followers who believed in his determination to do away with old, flawed political practices in favor of a vision that would inspire a New London renaissance. We refuse to give up on this goal but have growing concerns over his ability to carry the flag.
Such doubts also stem from an ongoing, unrelated drama involving Mr. Finizio's police chief, Margaret Ackley.
The Day reported last week that Chief Ackley has in recent months used extensive sick leave and compensation time, in addition to the previous work she missed following an October 2012 incident during Superstorm Sandy when wind blew out a window at the city's emergency operations center and hit her in the head. The chief has taken off at least 38 days and has not put in a full work week so far this year.
Workers hurt on the job are contractually entitled to time off, and this newspaper is not in a position to question the legitimacy or seriousness of Chief Ackley's injuries, but we do know that her absence has been part of a continuing distraction and disruption in the department.
The chief, a onetime ally of Mr. Finizio, now is suing him, the city and attorney Brian Estep for reneging on a contract she signed in 2012 that would have paid her outright for accumulated compensation time amounting to about $60,000. With her case pending in New London Superior Court, the chief has to use some 30 weeks of compensation time by June 30 or lose it. In the meantime, her repeated absences have created a vacuum in a department that has had to deal with a series of challenges.
Like the city's failing finances, the situation with Chief Ackley must be fixed expeditiously or else it will continue to deteriorate - just as the leaky steam pipes at New London City Hall continued to cause damage under Mr. Finizio's watch.
All leaders face problems. Effective ones find solutions instead of blaming past managers or counting on others to bail - or throw - them out.
At the very least both the mayor and police chief should consider their legacies as well as the fortunes of the city they have pledged to serve.

An early morning crime spree in the Northgate area woke Haouaoui Mohammed in the middle of the night.
"I heard some loud sounds I thought someone was moving something so I didn't wake up to see what was happening," Haouaoui Mohammed said. "But a police officer came to my apartment knocked on the door and told me some cars were hit."
When Mohammed walked outside he found his car and others hit in several places.
Police say 16 cars were damaged all in the same area, but none were broken into.
Only one person caught a glimpse of the person responsible.
"When the person that reported the crime went outside and said something the individual ran off and he couldn't tell what area," College Station Police Chief Michael Clancey said.
The witness did tell police he thought the person was a Hispanic male, medium build, and wearing a brown flannel jacket. However, police say because it was dark the description could be a little off.
As for the reason, Mohammed and other residents believe someone could be targeting international students.
"I would think this is a hate crime because there is known to be mainly international students here and this is the reason that came to mind," Mohammed said.
But police say that is only a possibility.
"You have to look at every angle," Chief Clancey said. "I mean this could be anything from someone furious at the world or targeting one individual or a group of individuals. Right now we have nothing concrete that says that at this time."
So now police are asking for your help. If you have any information you are asked to call the College Station Police Department at 764-3600.

Jesus goes into the town of Nain and as He goes in with His disciples and a crowd around Him, another crowd comes out carrying the dead body of a young man, the only son of his mother, a widow, crying along. Jesus sees this crowd at the gate of the town, is moved with compassion, touches the coffin and raises this dead man back to life! Death met Life and that which was dead was raised back to life! This is what we read in Luke 7:7-11,
God is with us and He fights our enemies, who rise up against us, and keeps us safe. But when we do not obey His voice and do what is evil in His sight, He will take His protective hand away from our lives and will deliver us into the hand of the enemies, so that we come back to him, and do all that He wants us to. Certain things are not evil in our own sight or in the sight of others, but if it does not please God and if something is not right in His eyes, then He will judge us that we may repent and turn back to Him. In Judges 6:1-10 we read,
We all look for someone to really love us, for someone to accept us as we are, to understand us, to care for us. No matter how much some of us may deny it, deep inside that's what we all long for – love, acceptance, understanding, care. But very often it just remains a dream, a desire. And in a world with seven billion people you find yourself alone and lonely.
No one seems to have the time for you. No one seems to notice you. People just pass you by as though you do not exist. Sometimes even the closest people – your parents, your husband / wife, your children – are so busy with everyday life and work that they seem to be ignoring you. And you have this question in your heart, 'Do they really love me, do they really care?' May be you've walked such a lonely journey through this life that life itself seems uninteresting to you.
There are things in the past in almost all of our lives that we wish never happened or things that we wish we never had done; things that we would like to change and re-write if we had a chance to go back to our past. There are many things that leave a hurt, a wound or an unpleasant memory inside our hearts and minds that keeps coming back to haunt us as if it had just happened yesterday. Some things that leave a bad memory could be our own doing – wrongdoing, failures, wrong decisions - while some other things could be someone else's doing – abuse, insults, hurts; but either way it leaves a trail of guilt, shame and a sense of defeat. And thinking of those events might leave us sad and depressed. It might also cause us to live in unforgiveness: towards ourselves, towards others or towards both.
He (JESUS) was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed'. (Isaiah 53:5)
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (Rom 8:31-32)
Jesus loves you, wants to bless you abundantly and wants to make you a blessing!
Your life on the earth is not a mere accident, a mistake or by chance. God has a plan and purpose for your life on the earth and He desires to have a personal relationship with you! When you come to know God personally and experience His love, when you start focusing on eternal truths and seek His plan and go about fulfilling the purpose for which He created you, then you will have a peace, joy and satisfaction that you would never have otherwise and enjoy His abundant blessings in your everyday life… you will find meaning and purpose in life and start experiencing the FULLNESS of LIFE that Jesus promised.
El Shaddai Tabernacle is our Church based in Bangalore, India, where we focus on glorifying Jesus Christ through our lives, making ready a people prepared for the Lord and help each one receive the life in fullness that the bible promises by growing in Christ Jesus.

As the undisputed stars of American cardom, the Scottsdale auctions always bring a rich harvest of Duesenbergery, and at least four are already consigned, with even more on deck for auctions later in winter and spring 2011. It's a rare Duesenberg indeed that doesn't have extended stories attached, for good or ill, but I'll start with one of the shortest, Gooding & Co.'s offering.

It's a tautology, but true, to say that any Duesenberg at auction has been sold before. I don't mean when new; rather, there are almost two distinct populations of cars. There's a non-circulating group of cars owned by people who want those particular cars. They tend to stay in the same ownership for many years. Then there are the cars in constant circulation. They seem to be bought and sold as investments, sometimes more than once in the same year. For reasons I don't quite understand, they don't seem to end up in the hands of the first group. Perhaps in all that trading hands, their stories become muddy, and condition certainly suffers. Either way, J-243 belongs in the latter group.
Update, Dec. 6: Gooding & Co. wishes to point out that the three previous owners of J-243, mentioned below, owned the car for an average of at least 15 years each, and as I wrote, this particular car's history is in no way obscure.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with J-243, a Le Baron-bodied 1930 Model J DCP. In fact, this barrel-side phaeton has its original engine, transmission and bodywork. It's just that there has been a string of recent have been several owners, albeit very reputable ones, including Dan Williams, Rick Carroll and General Lyon. I believe it was sold in 2005, and definitely traded hands in 2008, when it made $1,760,000 in Monterey.
J-116. Photo by Shooterz.biz ©2010 Courtesy of RM Auctions
RM has three, and counting, consigned for Friday in Scottsdale. First is J-116, which, along with an Auburn speedster, comes from the Timothy Durham collection. It is, or was, a Derham-bodied 1929 Model J phaeton. The history is extremely complex, but includes extensive reconstruction of a mostly-destroyed body; a turn (ha) in Elvis's Spinout; and a sale at Hershey in 2004 (at, I believe, $594,000).
J-187. Photo by Darin Schnabel ©2010 Courtesy of RM Auctions
J-187′s history is much clearer (ha). The 1929 Murphy Clear Vision sedan has been through plenty of owners, for sure, including Dean Kruse, who made it part of his epic 33 Duesenberg acquisition in 1999. It later turned up in the collection of the late John O'Quinn, who purchased it at Amelia Island in 2006 for $693,000. Subsequent to O'Quinn's demise, Gooding turned it over in Scottsdale in 2009 for a tidy $836,000. J-187 has the all-important ACD Certification, backing up its claim of holding onto the original chassis, engine and body.
1926 Duesenberg Model A Dual Windshield Phaeton. Photo by Darin Schnabel ©2010 Courtesy of RM Auctions
All I've dug up on this car is what the excellent Chris Summers, ACD Club Duesenberg Historian, mentioned on the excellent ACD forums, that chassis 1451 is a 1926 Model A dual-windshield phaeton, in the Jerry Moore collection until 2004. And even then, we probably don't have the right car, because that was known as a red automobile, and this is not.
This car not appear to have been sold at auction before recently; there was a single Model A sold at auction in the USA in all of 2004, a 1925 at Kruse in Tulsa, for $91,800. They had another Model A 1924 tourer at Hershey in 2005, no sale at $150,000. RM sold what was probably the actual, red Moore/Kruse 1925 car, again from John O'Quinn, at Amelia Island this year, for $104,500. They'll have two more ex-O'Quinn Duesenbergs there, J-237 (maybe; there's some confusion over the identity) and J-331 for 2011, incidentally, along with at least one more.
The Model A is a wonderful car and far rarer than younger brother Model J – it's a rare year that sees more than one at auction. It'd be wonderful to see them find more recognition.

Sampler quilts have, historically, been a way for quilters to practice and display their skills with a range of different block styles. Today, we're featuring Elizabeth Dackson's beautiful Summer Sampler Plus quilt.
Elizabeth blogs at Don't Call Me Betsy. Her blog post about this quilt can be found here.
We loved the crisp and focused color scheme and the variety of piecing skills on display in this quilt! We also asked Elizabeth a couple of questions.
MQG: What do you think makes your quilt modern?
Elizabeth: There's a lot of things about this quilt that read modern to me, but the one that jumps to the front of my mind is the quilting. I feel that stretching yourself to try different things is a big part of modern quilting. I chose to quilt this quilt in a style that was new to me, inspired by the geometric feel of this quilt, using an interconnected maze boxes. I also think the mix of styles and techniques in the blocks gives the quilt a fresh feel, the mix of classic blocks mixed with more geometric paper-pieced blocks.
MQG: What is your all-time favorite block pattern?
Elizabeth: My personal favorite block at the moment would have to be the Sawtooth Star. Stars are one of my favorite recurring shapes in quilting, and it's the first traditional block I really mastered, so it holds a special place in my heart as a result. It's such a simple block, and yet with the right fabric choices, it can be made in a fun, modern kind of way.
