I'm young, new to it, but i want to buy a bus and be a LIFER!
July 16, 2007, 04:18:33 PM »
i've read the entire stringing of "newbie" advice posted back there, i've been researching all the differant kinds of busses, their structure's, buildabilities, motors and the fuel options, the options (water-heaters, appliances, gensets, etc.)...all i can do in about 6 months of dreaming!!
is this a rich mans sport, or am i crazy to think that i can take my little $40k a year (in california) and get as far off the grid as i can by getting a bus and converting it into my contemperary dream house!! aside from the obsticles of finding land to live on....i'm mechanically inclide, and crafty as all get out. encourage me, or discourage? should i wait until i have a bit more an income before living in a giant rolling construction zone?? the price of the bus is one thing.....the pieces of the puzzle though....

Get the best bus you can. The rest you can do a little at a time.

No, it's not a rich mans sport!
But it helps..... a lot.
I've converted 6 buses in the last 35 years and it just seems to get more and more expensive.
Right now we are converting a 1952 PD4103 and have been for the last 4 or 5 years. I'm partially disabled so can't can't keep a job and we live on what my wife makes. We buy a little bit here, a little there, some at flea markets and some on eBay, some by trading this or that.
We live full time in ours and although it's not really set up for off grid life, we can get by for a few days without a power pole.
Depending on the type of bus you want, and it's condition, you can do a lot with very little. Used buses are really a buyers market right now, since the price of fuel has gone up. The only real thing keeping the prices up on them is the price that China is paying for scrap metal.
I had a friend that sold a H8H4905A body last fall without engine or transmission. It brought $3500 as dirty scrap. Much more than he could have sold it for as a parts bus.
Look around, I'm sure you'll find something.
Just remember, the bus is just a big hole in the road where you pour vast quantities of cash, never to be seen again.

I would encourage you to go for it, with only one concern. In California, especially middle or southern, if you get out away from things, it is hot. Hot usually means 2 large or 3 standard air conditioners. That takes a lot of power. If you get "off the grid", the power has to be generated somehow. Generators burn expensive fuel. Very large solar arrays involve huge up front investment. I'm not even sure you could fit enough solar panels on a bus roof to power three air conditioners.
Beyond that, I say: go for it!

Walk up to an older gentleman who you respect and admire. Ask him the following question: Looking back on your life, which do you regret more: The things you did that you shouldn't have, or the things you didn't do but wanted to. I think you'll find you answer.
If you're going to be dumb, you gotta be tough.

California is a good state to find deals. That is where I got mine and have seen several since then that would also make good starter busses for those who are on a budget. Start on the low end if you have to, and as life and money permits, sell and upgrade. I also do not have a lot of disposable income, but I am having a good time. I think that the GM busses are the easiest and least expensive to start out on. I am sure you have already been following bus prices online. Exercise patience, do not let the horror stories scare you into paralysis, and educate yourself the best you can.
Good Luck,

Find a bus you think you can afford, buy it, get to work and enjoy. Go into it knowing that it will take lots of work and I mean lots. It will be back breaking, dirty, exciting, fun, irritating, expensive, challenging, and worth every minute. Dallas and I live in ours full time. The only problem we have is that we are living in it, with our 3 cats, while we are doing the remodel. Since we full time, everything we own is also in the bus. We have had to learn to cut down on the things that we own. After a while you realize that you don't truly need everything that you thought you couldn't live without before.
Go for it, enjoy it and know that the frustrations that you will encounter will definitely be overshadowed by the fun you will have in owning a bus. I bet before you get half way through, you will be saying "in my next bus I'm gonna do_____________ differently! Welcome to the world of bus nuts! Cat

I am in the same boat. I realistically can't afford a bus. But, I am going to have one. The last few months of my fathers life taught me a bit.. I will not look back with the regret I never tried. If it doesn't work out I will be a little bit poorer but will know that I was not afraid to try.
There are some on the board who will give you many reasons why you should not get into busing if you don't have a certain amount of cash and reserves and..... and......
If a few years from now I have to abandon this project it will still have been a positive event for me. I will have learned a lot and met some of the best people in the world. I will have spent time with my son and grand daughters sharing hardships and working towards a common goal.
I hope they will get as much from the bus as I do, no matter what.
Only you can make the final decision, do what is right for you........and enjoy it.

I've always wanted a bus. Traveled on them all my life in the music business. But never really thought of owning one until a few years ago. Did a lot of research, looked at lots of buses, and finally bought mine about 5 months ago. I have a family and I also build street rods and stuff so I have lots of projects. So far on the bus I have been collecting parts and disassembling the stuff from the bus that I won't need in the conversion. But man, I am loving the planning and know that it is going to be great when we ever get it done!
I will add that I found out that CA has changed the process for registering an ex-commercial bus as a motorhome. It used to be that you just had to pull a number of seats out and that was all it took. A recent law change says that you must have completed your motorhome conversion before you can register it as an RV in CA. You must have a bathroom, kitchen, sleep quarters, A/C other than the road air, and a power supply... I told the woman at DMV that a lot of people who are going to just frequent campgrounds may not even add a generator.. She couldn't be swayed and said it was the law... Therefore, my bus is still registered commercial.
Being that this is CA, there is always a reason behind a change of law - MONEY! They now ask you the price you paid for the bus AND how much you spent on the conversion, and that is what you pay tax on. That's why they want it completed first. The good news is that they don't require an inspection. They take your word on it that your conversion is done. But the lady informed me that the fines are pretty stiff if you get pulled over and your bus is registered as a motorhome without the conversion being done. That would have to be a pretty bored cop to worry about that...
Just thought I would throw this into this thread since you live in CA... But as everyone else, my advice is GO FOR IT!

Wanna be lifer,
I had a very good busnut friend kick me in the pants today to get me remotivated again, I can assure you all will not be roses but---- depending on your age, motivation and possiblity to do most things yourself you can sure get in here and meet great friends and those that will also motivate you when you get down like I was.
My personal advise, get the newest bus you can financially afford to purchase, get it inspected to see what really needs to make your bus roadworthy and safe, and can you do the repairs yourself or have friends that will possibly help you if needed. Don't expect big fast results to any converting if done right. Take your time, be safe always and enjoy your new project that if done right will be something to always be proud of the rest of your life. Having strong support from a mate, (Wife, girlfriend or boyfriend) could sure help on bad days especially.
Good luck, when you get down on a bad day, send me your email address and I will get you in contact with one couple I just know can motivate you again with their positive can & will do attitude.

Decorating A Whipped Cream Frosted Cake
Decorating By floral1210 Updated 23 Sep 2009 , 2:46am by JGMB
I will be doing a bridal shower cake which the bride has requested to be lemon cake, raspberry filling, and Whipped Cream frosting. I was going to do a 12 inch square cake, buttercream iced, and planned to do a cornelli lace in pink over pale green. Now with the switch to whipped cream frosting, I am not sure if that is possible. Is it? What do I use for the lace? If not possible, are there any suggestions on what to do? Thanks in advance...
Just trying to bump this..Does anyone have any ideas?
You can color whipped cream. Ice the cake in the whipped cream frosting and use your fav buttercream for the deco. There will be so little of it in comparison to the whipped cream that the difference in taste won't be very noticable.
I've used bettercream (not buttercream) a whipped topping mix and used it to decorate. I've made roses, shells, wrote with it etc. Works great...
I did my first cake with whipped cream frosting on Saturday. It was fine to pipe with. The biggest problem I found was that I couldn't smooth the frosting the way I normally do -- either with a paint roller or a Viva towel. So, I refused to post a photo of it LOL!!

RANDOLPH TWP. - Residents will join local church and civic groups to walk at various sites beginning at 1:30 p.m., Sunday, April 28, rain or shine, to raise money to feed the hungry.
For the past three years, Resurrection Parish, The Kiwanis Club, St. Matthew's Church and the Mt. Freedom Presbyterian Church, as well as other community groups and churches, have sponsored the CROP WALK (Communities Reaching Out To People).
The walk is held to respond to the needs of the poor and hungry in Morris County and around the world, said a CROP statement.
Last year, 195 CROP WALK participants raised almost $16,000. Twenty-five percent of the monies raised were donated to organizations in Morris County that serve the needs of the poor.
Building upon last year's success, there will now be four different walks to choose from. There is the three- mile walk which begins at St. Matthew's Church and continues on Calais Road, Morris Turnpike, Leslie Avenue, Tucker Avenue and finishes at the Brundage Park Pavilion via a gentle woodland slope and a scenic trail.
Walkers who choose this route will be on paved surfaces.
There are three trail-choices.First there's a 2.5 mile walk that begins at the municipal building, then passes through James Andrews Park and on through Freedom Park before finishing at the Brundage Park Pavilion.
It is a walk through the woods with one gentle slope to climb.
Another trail is the 3.75 mile walk which begins at Shongum School and proceeds through James Andrews Park, Freedom Park and will also finish at the Brundage Park Pavilion. Walkers make their way up one steep ascent to the ridge
A memorial to local victims of the Sept. 11 bombings is located near the ridge's summit.
Then there is the 5.25 mile walk. It also begins at Shongum School, then turns down Rickland to Beaver Dam then goes through James Andrews Park on to Hidden Valley Park, Freedom Park and finishes once again at the Brundage Park Pavilion.
For those who want to join in the day but don't feel like walking any of the distances, there will be a .75 mile and a l.25 mile Fun Walk in Brundage Park.
Refreshments will be available at the pavilion for the walkers when they finish.
Members of churches can register through their church or Resurrection Parish. Members of the West Morris YMCA can register at the YMCA or call 366-1120.
All Randolph residents interested in participating who are not affiliated with any of the participating groups can call Arlene Stoller at the health department, 989-7050.
Participants must collect sponsorship money before the walk. The money will be turned in at registration.

ITF, the global technology facilitator, together with subsea and pipeline engineering and project management company Subsea Engineering Associates (SEA) Pty Ltd in Perth, Australia, has recently launched a Joint Industry Project (JIP) that will explore and demonstrate a new approach to assessing pipeline span issues on the seabed.
Phase I of the JIP is expected to run for six months and cost in the region of $250,000 AUD and involve four regional oil and gas operators.
Due to an uneven seabed, tidal currents or scouring, some pipelines may develop free spans. A free span on a pipeline is where the seabed sediments have been eroded or scoured away and the pipeline is no longer supported on the seabed.
Pipeline free spans have been studied extensively over the last two decades. Though the extreme limit states of the pipeline are understood and defined in DNV guidelines, traditional analyses fall short during the pipeline's operational phase on mobile seabeds, where free spans form, move and often disappear between pipeline surveys.

Good morning :)
Am new here, wanted to ask you all about cookie stencils
can I use normal plastic to make the stencils or it should only be "food grade plastic" and why?
I will cut mine in a lazer cutting machine in the shop hence I don't own a cutting machine
Thank u in advance
if you can get food grade plastic why not use it -- but i don't think it matters that much so long as they are nice & clean & not made out of lead or something toxic -- a lot of people use tools from the hardware store for caking -- you just gotta use your head with it -- i'm sure i have some normal plastic stencils -- not especially food safe --
for example why use a putty knife to smooth your icing if you can get a dough cutter that you know is food safe where the putty knife might be made with mystery metals y'know?

Beef Stroganoff with Buttered Noodles
Serving Size: 4
Prep Time:
Total Time:
For this version, I really wanted to show that you could make it with a less expensive cut of beef, boneless chuck roast. I cut it into 1-inch pieces. Since it's not your regular stovetop stroganoff, I decided to prep it on the stove and then put it in the oven for at least an hour.
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a large French oven with olive oil on medium heat, for about 2 to 3 minutes. Pat the meat dry with a clean paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Add to French oven and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove meat and place on a clean plate and set aside.
- Add 5 tablespoons butter to the French oven and melt, at the same time scraping the bottom of the pot. Add mushrooms, onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook for 5 minutes, while stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste and mix well, cook for 2 minutes. Add flour and mix well, cook for another 2 minutes, stirring pretty consistently so that the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Add beef broth and mix. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat.
- Add cooked beef back to the French oven, cover and place in the oven for 1.25 to 1.5 hours at 375 degrees F, until beef is tender.
- Cook the No Yolks Extra Broad Noodles according to the package instructions. Add 3 tablespoons butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a dash of pepper, mix thoroughly and set aside.
- Remove French oven from the oven. Being careful with the lid because it will be extremely hot, use a regular large spoon, skim any fat off of the top of the sauce. Add the following ingredients one at a time and mixing thoroughly after each addition: Dijon mustard, sour cream and Italian parsley. Add noodles to bowls or dishes and add strogranoff on top.

The view of earnest Bible Students that I have adopted is They didn't know (who was appointed by God). But they did quite well, most of the time. It was faith with an understanding of the past and the Word that was handed down to them. I believe it was the person of Jesus, in his pre-human existence that helped them.

[QUOTE=Bug;212560]The hebrew word is reh-ame' apparently from raw-am' which means "to rise", "be lifted up".
The literal translation is "reem". No-one knows what it is actually referring to. Some translations use buffalo, goat or rhinoceros.
The point of my second post was for everyone to have a look at where THEIR denomination came from. Someone back in the past must have decided they would follow what THEY believed to be the REAL way.
[QUOTE=Nancy?;335437]Ok. In Jesus Name does not mean saying it. It means accomplishing the will of Jehovah. The problem I see with the meeting is this: You believe You have found Jehovah, HE, through Jesus through the Governing Body is THERE. But then why does Zephaniah 2:3 say "seek Jehovah"? Seek meekness. You are proud, not personally, but proud of your organization. And why would someone come to the meetings to be saved regardless of what Jesus said at Matthew 16:25? Jesus

Pot roast is a classic homemade favorite. The slow cooking process creates moist bites of savory beef, and the vegetables cooked with the meat only enhance the meal. Many pot roast recipes call for beef stock, but there are plenty of substitutes for a broth base. A favorite used by chefs worldwide combines red wine with seasonings and uses an ultra-slow cooking process to bring out the roast's natural juices.
Things You'll Need
- Paper towels
- Dutch oven
- Meat fork
- 3 or 4 lb. pot roast
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Italian seasoning
- 1 large onion
- 2 tbsp. minced garlic
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 5 carrots
How to Make Pot Roast with No Beef Stock
Blot the pot roast with paper towels until it is dry and rub several pinches of salt, pepper and Italian seasoning over the meat. Pat the seasoning into the roast. Put a dutch oven over the stove top and heat 1 tbsp. of olive oil over medium-high heat until the oil starts smoking.
Insert the pot roast into the pot of hot oil to sear. Brown the pot roast for 5 minutes on each side, making sure not to move the roast and disturb the searing process. While the roast browns, slice a large onion. After the roast is seared on each side, lift it out with a meat fork and scatter the sliced onions and 2 tbsp. garlic on the bottom of the pan. Place the roast on top of the onions and garlic.
Pour 1/2 cup red wine into the pot and switch the heat to low. Cover the pan and cook for 3 hours. During this time, the meat will release a lot of juice because of the slow cooking process, creating a wonderful and delicious broth that will combine with the wine for a savory flavor.
Chop up 5 carrots and add them to the pot. Replace the cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the carrots are tender.

Grandfather to 12
On-X Aortic Valve Recipient
"I did my research and On-X seemed to be the best valve for me, so I requested my surgeon use the On-X valve."
Diagnosed as a teenager
Ron was diagnosed with aortic stenosis at the beginning of 8th grade. Aortic stenosis is when the aortic valve doesn't open fully. In high school, he excelled at many sports and was named All-State in baseball. Coincidentally, one of Ron's school mates was Clyde Baker, a very good high school varsity basketball player who later became the CEO of On-X Life Technologies. It was four decades later when they met again, this time pulling for Ron's life.
Ron has a family history of heart valve problems; both his brother and an uncle previously had valve replacement surgery. In late 2009, Ron was feeling increasingly fatigued during everyday activities. At his annual checkup, his cardiologist informed him that his heart was beginning to enlarge because of the additional burden of the faulty valve. It was time to consider a valve replacement.
"I wanted a valve that would last my entire lifetime without another surgery. When faced with the decision of taking a warfarin daily OR going through heart surgery again, I quickly decided the little inconvenience of taking a daily pill was preferable to going through heart surgery a second time."
"My cardiologist asked if I wanted a tissue valve, which worked well but would only last 10-15 years, or a mechanical valve, which would last a lifetime but would require me to be on a blood thinning drug for the rest of my life," he recalls. "Because I planned on living more than 15 years and didn't want to have another heart valve surgery," he says, "I decided on a mechanical valve."
"I read everything. I listened to the surgeons, reviewed the clinical results online, and became acquainted with different valves' features and benefits. I learned about the On-X valve's lower complications rates, lowered drug levels and that no reoperation would be required in the future. The information made sense. I was completely at ease and felt peace with my decision to get an On-X valve, and had no fears whatsoever going into surgery."
"My surgeon replaced my aortic valve with a minimally invasive surgery technique, making my recovery much easier and faster."
Ron was up and walking without assistance the day after surgery, and – ever the avid golfer – was putting in the hospital hallway the day after that. He was back to work in less than two weeks, and just a few weeks later, shot a 75 in his first round of golf after surgery.
"I'm very active… I go to the gym regularly and chase my 12 grandkids!"
Since receiving his On-X Aortic Heart Valve, Ron says, "I've been able to do anything I wanted. I cut my lawn and work in my garden, chase my grandkids, exercise regularly, play golf and live an active and fulfilling life." Ron holds the distinction of being the oldest qualifier for the Utah State Amateur Golf Competition. And to complete his recovery, Ron golfed in Scotland, where he walked 36 holes carrying his own golf bag and playing both Kingsbarn and the world-famous St. Andrews golf courses.
"I want to thank Dr. Jack Bokros and the entire team at On-X for your knowledge and dedication to the development of devices that have made my life better, and the lives of people around the world," Ron says. "The world needs people like you. Keep up the good work."

Hope Cove Lifeboat brings the three kings to Inner Hope for Epiphany
By Sam Acourt in Events
HOPE Cove saw the three kings arrive at the slipway last Sunday as part of the Epiphany celebrations.
Members of the congregation from the Salcombe Benefice, including Hope Cove, Galmpton and Malborough gathered to celebrate the Epiphany and the baptism of Christ with a communion service packed into a full Methodist Chapel at Inner Hope Cove.
Following the service, members of the Benefice choir led the singing of 'We Three Kings' as everyone followed Father Daniel French, and the Rev Ruth Frampton down to the beach.
The Hope Cove lifeboat, including four crew members fully kitted out in case of a shout, transported three elegantly dressed kings - local 'wise men' Trevor Rendle, Graham Phillips and Clive Higgs.
Following the clergy depositing crosses fashioned from the top section of discarded Christmas trees, into the surf to bless the sea, they boarded the lifeboat joining the kings and crew.
The boat was then towed back up the slipway to the awaiting crowd where the three kings distributed gold and silver - well chocolate versions! - from their caskets to the onlookers.
Everyone then followed the lifeboat and returned to the Reading Room where coffee, tea and biscuits were served.
Father Daniel French said: 'This was the second year we have celebrated Epiphany in this way and again were amazed at the amount of people who turned up. There was not a spare seat in the chapel.
'We will certainly try and make this an annual event and we already have thoughts on next year's service.'
The Rev Ruth Frampton added: 'This was an absolutely great event on the nearest Sunday to January 6 and everyone had a really good time. The weather was again very kind to us and a drizzly shower only when people had left.'
The Epiphany is an ancient Christian feast day and is significant in a number of ways. In the East, where it originated, the Epiphany celebrates the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist in the River Jordan. It also celebrates Jesus' birth.
The Western Church began celebrating the Epiphany in the 4th century where it was, and still is, associated with the visit of the magi or wise men to the infant Jesus when God revealed himself to the world through the incarnation of Jesus.

Carlos Pena
December 8, 2010 by staff
Carlos Pena, Average sub-Mendoza, Carlos Pena in 2010 did not prevent the Chicago Cubs and to commit about U.S. $ 10 million for the first player.
The 32-year-old hit .196 with 28 homers and 84 RBIs with Tampa Bay last season signed a night with the Cubs.
At one point, the Blue Jays have been reported to be in Pena, even if it does not seem to have much substance.
However, signature does affect the rest of the market by taking the first base opening to other players.
The choice options on the level behind Peña stars Paul Konerko are Adam LaRoche and Derrek Lee.
However, Toronto does not absolutely need to sign a player starting first base that there is some interest in seeing what Adam Lind may be in position.
Another option would be to find a player to sign an agreement for the minor leagues with an invitation to training camp could be insurance if not Lind market.
Someone like Casey Kotchman or Willy Aybar could fit into this category.
This seems to be the Blue Jays plan to the recipient where they continue to explore options for joining the team.
As the Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos said Tuesday he is a "priority" to give Triple-A MVP JP Arencibia a chance to win a big league job.
"JP was in Las Vegas two years away, it was a year huge, he has 25 years, we need to know about him," said Anthopoulos. "And there are many things he needs to learn the major league level and the only way to learn is to read or at least around him. This does not mean it should be the starter."
In the same breath, GM talked about the insurance position with a veteran, perhaps along the lines of Miguel Olivo. So if Arencibia is not ready to start in spring, the career backup Jose Molina is not the only option in Toronto.
But it does not seem that Montreal Russ Martin, the former Dodger loose cut after a season blighted by a broken hip.
Martin is commissioning would offer, but with the Yankees and the Red Sox two kicking the tires, it might be too costly for the Blue Jays.
As a former all-star who wants to prove he can catch again, 27 years is not likely to be an insurance policy for a 25-years.
In other news, the Angels seem to be blowing up the lead pack for Carl Crawford, but there are reports New York Yankees could be looking at whether they really think Cliff Lee will spin.
Obviously the best case for the Blue Jays would not face their enemy 18 times each year, if this could be the case if the Yankees Lee.
It could be a kind of pick your poison situation.
Camp Lee continues stringing along the talks, trying to make the most of suitors offering said to include the Yankees, Angels and Rangers.

Guys and Girls:
In today's world, we seem to use written communication so much more than we do face-to-face, or even phone calls. So much is lost by the written word, or can easily be misinterpreted.
I'm just looking for people's personal experiences (if you're willing to share them) about things you might have said over text or email that ruined a relationship or dating opportunity that was going well before the text. Did you say something that was misinterpreted? Was it a bad time? Did you send something hastily or more harsh than you intended because you didn't have to see the other persons face of hear their voice?
Is there something the rest of us can learn not to do when texting with our significant other, or someone that we hope will be our significant other?
Have you ever ruined a relationship over text/email? Do you have a story that others can learn from?
Guys and Girls:
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 2
I think the main problem is to be able to formulate exactly what you mean when you write something. And even when it is well-written, there are problems of understanding.
Having 900 words for a vocabulary is just not enough, and that's what the majority of people have.
So many people seem to just be unable to use/understand all the subtelties of language.
In a mail, you can have more opportinities to express ideas or feelings, but most people have a TL;DR approach with texts and anyway, I am not sure they would understand the logical implications suggested.
I reserve SMS to organizing meetings or very light talk. In 200 characters, what can you say ? Nothing.
Anyway, recently I wrote a poem to a woman I was dating. It took me several hours to express what I meant, given the rime constraints, and the syllabic construction of a sonnet, and the choice of the exact words to use.
I was enchanted to discover that had made me become a literary curiosity, that she hadn't understood a single word, and that she blamed me over it. The joys of dating the illiterate 99%.
That's a good thing to limit communications with dates or potential dates.00|00|0
@Update : Guys don't like texting much, but in itself, it's not a valid reason for ruining a relationship.
This is why I don't like texting. There's just so much room for misinterpretation, and you don't get to hear the others' person's tone of voice.
Anyway, to answer your question, I've gotten in some sticky situations in texts. When something like that happens I like to just call the girl and figure it out that way. So much easier.00|00|0

Author | Noor Fathima Warsia | Friday, Oct 01,2004 8:05 AM
Print industry titans Hindustan Times and The Times of India – both have thrown up some interesting points in the IRS 2003-04 Round 2 results. Observing the readership figures for the all-India market, where in terms of numbers, TOI has a larger figure to boast of; in some cases HT has registered growth.
While the readership figure that all editions of HT recorded in the Round 1 of IRS 2003-04 was 29.47 lac, Round 2 puts it at 31.54 lac – reflecting an increase of 2.07 lac. In contrast to this, from the 72.35-lac readership that TOI recorded in Round 1, the latest round of research brings it down to 70.98 lac.
Sunday issue of both papers, however, don't represent a markedly different trend. HT again records an increase in numbers by about 2.36 lac, taking the readership to 34.19 lac from 31.83 lac, recorded in Round 1. As for The Sunday Times, on the other hand, a marginal slip in readership, dipping to 75.06 lac from 75.81 lac.
When the Hindi counterparts of the media majors are seen, Hindustan has increased to 79.4 lac from the 73.87 lac that it managed in Round 1, while Navbharat Times has gone down to 27.48 lac in Round 2 from 28.21 lac.
Sunday edition of Hindustan also registers an increase. The issue garners 87.26 lac, indicating an increase of 8.57 lac. Sunday's Navbharat Times again falls to 30.31 lac from 30.55 lac.
In Delhi – the hottest battleground for both the publications, TOI posts an increase. The daily has grown from 16.47 lac to 18.05 lac. HT too registers an increase here, rising from 15.42 lac to 16.73 lac. Even the Sunday issues witness an increase. While HT grows to 16.86 lac from 15.63 lac, TOI makes it to 17.95 lac – up from the previous 16.52 lac.
However, the positive graphs are not seen for the Hindi editions in the Delhi market. Hindustan and Navbharat Times both register decrease. Where Hindustan falls to 9.48 lac from 9.70 lac, Navbharat Times comes down to 17.73 lac from 18 lac. Sundays too maintain the trend. Hindustan observes a marginal fall, dipping to 10.36 lac from 10.43 lac and Navbharat Times falls to 19.1 lac from 19.65 lac.
If the larger picture is observed, the latest IRS figures suggest that TOI hasn't been able to throw a strong growth graph. Though, this is not the case with all the publications from the Times' stable.
Economic Times on weekdays records a positive skew – though marginal, it is up by 32,000 (from 10.12 lac in Round 1 to 10.44 lac in Round 2). The Sunday issue, however, effects a cumulative fall for the financial daily – from 10.4 lac to 10.12 lac. Nonetheless, Maharashtra Times registers a substantial increase. The daily grows to 13.51 lac from 12.46 lac, giving it an increase of 1.05 lac. Sunday issues of the Marathi publication too records growth, moving from 11.79 lac to 13.57 lac.
Coming to the magazines, both Femina and Filmfare indicate a fall vis-à-vis the previous IRS. Femina readership has remarkably gone down by 1.57 lac – recording 9.52 lac as opposed to 11.09 lac of the Round 1. In case of Filmfare, the downtrend registers 83,000 dips to 2,459 from 2,542.

Can't help but to notice that most immigration is non white mirgrants into majority white nations. Weather it be the US Csnada Austraila New Zealand or Europe, all have immagration. What do you think about this fact do you think it will destroy the white european culture while leaving the non white cultures the same. Do you think this is good or bad.
- I believe in totally open boarders without any checkpoints world wide.Vote A
- I believe we need more diversity but not open boarders.Vote B
- I believe we need immigrants who can fit in our culture. A european immigrant to a western nation like the US for exampleVote C
- No immagration at all.Vote D
Most Helpful Guy
Throughout human history humans have migrated to the safest and most livable areas of the planet at the time. That's what's happening now and is what has always happened. The western majority white countries have the best standards of living and its regrettable to say this but the reason for that is the white culture.
The more non white Muslims, wild mexicans and weird Chinese people we let in, the more it will eat away at the good white culture and the whole world will just become a cesspit of 3rd world shit just like it is where the immigrants come from.61|51|4

how the fuck is this most helpful lmao? you seem to be well established through a couple generations in the usa, doesn't mean other people aren't allowed to seek the same sort of comfort.

For all their eclecticism and all their mixmanship, electronic duo Paul de Jong and Nick Zammuto, a.k.a. the Books, elude the label 'DJs'. The schizophrenic sonic adventure of their new album The Way Out evokes images of dusty crates of forgotten media and mad sound engineers doing experiments on inscrutable metal interfaces, but neither looks so familiar as they do emanating from contemporary hip hop classics like J Dilla's Donuts or DJ Shadow's Endtroducing… The samples feel different. They often land in the mix with a strange intensity, as though they carry the weight of their history a bit more conspicuously. And why shouldn't they? The Way Out includes sounds and voices from sources as mundane as weight loss and self-help tapes.
Something more, however, than the stamp of unmitigated obscurity makes the Books' samples distinctive, a quality magnified, though far from originated, on the new album. They are more assertive than the subjugated, ambient sounds of albums like the KLF's Chill Out, more cohesive than the disruptive noises of outrageous producers like Lee Perry, and more purposeful than the exotic experiments of dissonant noise groups. They don't contribute to a pastiche of styles or lend a flavoring of genre. Nor are they meant solely to illustrate a point or explain a lyric. The Books' samples, which include everything from bits and pieces of everyday noise to extended recordings of Hebrew stenography, are somehow more essential and more secondary at the same time—used for their own sake to create something utterly unrelated.

Australian Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt believes Nick Kyrgios is playing the sort of tennis that will allow him to push deep into the second week of the 2017 Australian Open.
Kyrgios won the biggest title of his career on Sunday when he defeated Belgian David Goffin to claim the Japan Open in Tokyo.
The win lifted Kyrgios to No.14 in the world, with Hewitt confident he is poised to challenge the elite group of players at the top of men's tennis, including world No.1 Novak Djokovic.

March Madness is underway and I have a few Android apps that I will no longer use and a few that have proven to be useful. All apps have ads which I am fine with, but a few of the apps, I tried more time was spent closing pop ups than getting the info i wanted. Here are a few apps that have worked out pretty well for me so far. Yes you will still have some ads to contend with but not horrible.

I was driving quite a bit yesterday, and I did catch myself just asking Google for updates on games and it worked out better than expected. Enjoy March Madness

The Achievement Network Receives Up to $5MM in Investing in Innovation Grant
Jeff Odell
The United States Department of Education today named The Achievement Network (ANet) as one of the highest –rated applicants for the Investing in Innovation (i3) competition. The i3 fund was established under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to provide competitive grants to applicants with a record of improving student achievement and attainment. ANet is one of only 30 i3 competition winners in the Development category; overall the competition received nearly 1,700 applications. Pending Department of Education verification, the i3 grant to ANet will be up to $5MM.
"We are honored that our organization, committed to using data to identify and close gaps in student achievement, was selected as a highest-rated applicant for the i3 program among a highly-competitive field of recognized innovators in education," said Ted Preston, ANet's Chief Executive Officer. "The i3 grant will allow us to expand our programs to serve the teachers and students of additional high-need schools committed to closing the achievement gap, as well as design and conduct a study to validate our approach."
ANet applied for the i3 competition's Absolute Priority around the Use of Data. ANet's i3 proposal, entitled "Improving the Use of Data in Schools: Expanding the Achievement Network Model," proposes to expand ANet's data-driven model over four years to additional schools in our Networks in Massachusetts, Washington, DC, Louisiana and Illinois. The proposal also details a formal evaluation by an external party to further validate the impact of ANet on student achievement; augment the body of research on interim assessment programs and support; and share the ANet model for implementation in additional schools.
"While there is widespread belief in using data to identify and address gaps in student learning to improve academic achievement, there is a lack of solid research to explain why this approach is effective," commented John Maycock, ANet's founder and Chief Program Officer. "This grant provides the resources to conduct a well-designed evaluation to validate the impact of ANet's program, and further refine our approach, allowing us to expand while continuously improving our program."
About the Investing in Innovation Program
According to the Department of Education, the Investing in Innovation (i3) program was established under section 14007 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to provide competitive grants to local educational agencies and nonprofit organizations in partnership with them that have a record of improving student achievement. The grants are meant to expand these groups' innovative practices that are "increasing student achievement or student growth, closing achievement gaps, decreasing dropout rates, increasing high school graduation rates, or increasing college enrollment and completion rates." More information can be found at www.2.ed.gov/programs/innovation/index.html.
About the Achievement Network
ANet is a nonprofit organization, founded in 2005, that works to close the achievement gap and help all students attain academic excellence. ANet provides schools that serve high-need students in grades 3-8 with effective data-driven strategies to identify and close gaps in student learning and embed these strategies into schools' everyday routines. ANet enables schools to use data to increase high-need student achievement by combining high-quality standards-aligned assessments in English and Math for grades 3-8; educator coaching in how to analyze assessment results, identify gaps in student learning, and create action plans to address these gaps; and peer Networks of schools that collaborate to improve their use of data.

History of the House of Deputies
- Details
- By the Rev. Dr. Gregory Straub
Separate Colonies, Separate Churches
It is impossible to overstate the difficulties in which the Anglican Church found itself in the mainland North American colonies during and after the Revolutionary War. Before the war the church was established by law in several colonies (often against the wishes of the population), and newly empowered state legislative assemblies deprived the church of property, and vestries of civil power, as they viewed the Church of England (with justification) as an extension of the English crown. Many clergy in the colonies chose not to break their vow of loyalty to the king made at ordination and, instead, emigrated to England, Canada or the Caribbean islands. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts and other missionary societies ceased support of the clergy. With few clergy (and no way to secure more, as ordination was controlled by the English bishops), leadership of the church fell to the church's lay members. (Vestries in the colonies already exercised authority undreamt of in England.) Beginning in 1780, statewide conventions organized for the purpose of reclaiming churches and continuing the worship and discipline of the Church of England. In 1784, the Rev. William White, Rector of Christ and St. Peter's Churches in Philadelphia, and a patriot of unchallenged loyalties—he had served as Chaplain to the Continental Congress—wrote a pamphlet urging the reorganization of the Church of England in the colonies, changing only those disciplines that the reality of independence dictated.
One Nation, One Church
White proposed governing the former Church of England in independent North America by council, replacing Parliament with a convention. (In the 18th century all members of the House of Commons were required to sign an oath of conformity to the Church of England, so all members were, at least nominally, Anglicans. English bishops sat in the House of Lords. Parliament, which governed the Church of England, was, therefore, a body limited to Anglicans.) He proposed uniting the conventions of the former colonies into a national church, governed by a convention comprised of lay persons and priests. The first conventions met under White's leadership to work out a constitution and a first Book of Common Prayer.
Equal Representation
The first General Convention under its new constitution met in 1789. Equality of representation between lay persons and priests was enshrined from the beginning, as was the equal representation of states. (The argument for equal representation of states was the same as the one leading to the adoption of the Constitution of the United States. Without protection for the small states—e.g., equal representation in the Senate and ratification of amendments to the Constitution by states—they would not have joined the Union.) To protect the rights of states with fewer church members the constitution made provision for votes by states—the words "state" and "diocese" were synonymous in the church's early years—for major issues. This provision was the ancestor of our votes by orders in which each diocese casts one clerical and one lay vote on amendments to the constitution, revisions of the Book of Common Prayer and other weighty matters.
A House of Bishops
To encourage the church in New England to join the General Convention, provision was made in the church's first constitution for a House of Bishops at such time in the future as there would be at least three bishops. Because the organizing conventions and the first General Convention under its constitution did not include bishops, the House of Deputies is sometimes referred to as the senior house (by date of establishment). After the passage of the constitution the election of bishops required the consent of both houses of the General Convention, and consecrations could take place only during a meeting of the convention. When this proved unworkable, the convention voted in 1799 to allow diocesan standing committees to vote consent in place of the House of Deputies, except when the election fell within a reasonable time before a meeting of the General Convention.
Even after the population of the House of Bishops, the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies could override a "no" vote in the House of Bishops by a 4/5's vote. This provision was amended in 1808, allowing the bishops to veto legislation passed by deputies, but only if they did so within three days of passage. (The House of Bishops did not get parity with the House of Deputies until 1901, when the "three days clause" was deleted from a revision of the constitution.) Since then, for legislation to be enacted, it must be passed in identical language by both houses. If either house fails to concur, the resolution does not pass.
Changes Throughout the Ages
The House has undergone many changes in its history. For one thing, it has grown from 44 potential deputies in 1789 to today's house of 888, if all jurisdictions entitled to representation were to send full deputations. Yet, even at this size, it would not be its largest, which was in 1985, when the dioceses of Mexico, Central America and the Philippines were still represented, but before the erection of the Dioceses of Ecuador Litoral and Eastern Michigan and the admission of the Diocese of Venezuela.
The President of the House of Deputies was always a priest until the election of the first lay president, the Hon. Owen J. Roberts, retired Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, who was elected in 1946. Likewise, the President was also a male deputy until the election of Dr Pamela Chinnis in 1991. Although there has never been a provision specifying the order of ministry of the secretary, there has been only one lay Secretary of the House of Deputies, the Hon. Francis Hopkinson, signer of the Declaration of Independence, who served as Secretary of the Convention of 1786, before adoption of the church's constitution.
Questions to Consider
Question 1: The equal involvement of clergy and laity in the governance of the church dates to its independence. What message does this cooperation between clergy and laity convey to the world outside the church? Does this icon of church governance further the mission of the church, or does it hinder it?
Question 2: The vote by orders, which acts as a conservative bias in the church's voting life, is as old as the church's independence, yet some have questioned its continuance, favoring instead a super majority (say 2/3's of the House) for those votes now requiring a vote by orders, as it would be less time consuming. What do you think?
Question 3: The House of Deputies is a diverse body. Is there any danger to that diversity, if the house were to be downsized by decreasing the size of deputations?
Question 4: It is one of the House of Deputies' oldest rights to consent to the consecration of bishops (if the election occurs within a window of 120 to 30 days before convention convenes). In 2009, the convention passed a first reading, surrendering this right. What are the pros and cons of the House giving up this right?
Question 5: What do you think are the absolute essentials of the House without which the House would no longer be itself?

We have over 2000 pieces of software reported by Spiceworks. For licensing issues we want to cut that down and find out which we need and which we don't. So we want to run a report which tells us, for EACH application Spiceworks has detected, both HOW MANY user's the application is installed on and WHO those users are. Is this possible? I would HATE to have to go through and generate a report for EACH single piece of software. Please let me know!!! Thank you.

for starters, may I suggest that you go through that list (and it will include everything) and put in number of licences that you have for an item - if you don't have any then put 0 in the list. Things like acrobat reader leave blank
This will then give you a list of all the software that you have licences for and ones which are out of compliance. Then you can build a report telling you what is in or out of compliance
This doesn't fill all of the things that you want but it will get you started - custom reports will help you get this job done!
