Anyone know if any companies that are selling FAL receivers yet?
DSA make the best in my opinion, since they got the blueprints from Steyr and FN and are forged, differencially heat treated and really well made.
Coonan used to make some nice cast ones for Federal Arms but when Fed Arms went Tango Uniform they kept the rights to the receiver/machinery and so Coonan is now having to redo all the work. Hopefully they'll have some out this year.
Imbel, very hard to get right now, made to FN spec in Brazil. Some of the later ones might need a little more tweaking to get to fit right.
My experiences with Enterprise have been entirely negative. The L1A1 receiver they sent me a while ago made some of the crap that the angry gun monkeys at Century make look good.
That's about it.
Thanks Templar. I had a DSA stg58 and loved it. I'm gonna try build'n a para. I don't mind paying extra for DSA quality, do they still sell receivers to the public? I thought I had heard they quit, maybe it was someone else.
The DSA receivers might be hard to get, but yes, they still sell to the public.
Templar hit it on the head.....
if you need any help in the build or refinish Tony just let me know
i noticed dc industerys are working on one i e-mailed them and said its a type 1 but they don't have a date yet when they will be avalible
TDW has 5 Imbel receivers on Gunbroker right now.
Auctions 51948915 through 51948920
Right now the bids on them range from $355 to $375
I won this one last night
Here's another one. Current bid $355 with 7 hours left.
These Imbels are expensive, but from all reports I've seen they are the best receiver available and are no longer being imported.
I did pretty good on this getting it for $370Quote:

Having bought 2 32GB Touchpads back in the fire sale last year, I can say money is better spent on the newer tablets that are true android devices. The touchpad was cheaply made, mine has been in a case since day one and babied, it still cracked around every opening such as the power/headphone and speaker openings. The glass is raised a bit and very flimsy. Google touchpad issues and it seems the refurbished units are even worse with many people regretting they sent theirs in for warranty work since the refurbished units were in much worse condition.
As to usability, it works "just" ok as a android device. I do use it for streaming netflix and surfing the web, but I have issues with it shutting down or taking forever to charge.
Great price but a Nexus 7 or Nexus 10 is a FAR BETTER tablet that just works out of the box. I would not buy a new touchpad for $99, if given the choice again.
Woot does not state if this is a factory refurb or not. Or, at least I have not found where it is stated. So, if it is a refurb from another and unknown vendor, your argument as to the factory going over it again goes out the window. For example I posted a comparison today on refurbs, two from ebay. One was a seller refurb and the other was a factory refurb.

I agree, I got my camera to work, and with most apps, it is rotated 90 degrees, but for some reason, the Mirror app works properly for the camera, no rotated 90 degrees. This was using Dorregaray's programming code with Preview 3 and Preview 6.
Now, he has come out with Preview 7 and Preview 8 that fixes these issues.
I've also taken memory from the "SD Card" and increased internal memory from 1.5GB to 5.5GB on CM9 by using jcsullins code, allowing for more apps to be installed on internal storage:
Haven't had any issues whatsoever, bought mine back in May and does everything I want it to do.
I am still not impressed at this price. You can get Toshiba Thrives, Acer A200, A500, Asus Transformers for between 180 and 220 refurbed now. They all get manufacturer updates to ice cream sandwich, everything works on them. I can't see where this is a good deal.
cpone wrote:Hey man, I had the same issue with it not charging up. You are completely right that the wifi sucks the battery right up. But you need to try trickle charging again. Connect the USB to your PC, the start doing the hustle with the power and home button reset. It will eventually come back on. Took a few hours in my case of doing the slow trickle power and the button hustle. GL.
Otherwise everyone, this is a GREAT value for something that has the exact specs as the iPad for a fraction of the cost.
That "fraction" is really small. A 1st gen iPad can be had for only $20 to $40 more. I got a 16GB iPad for $204 including tax/delivery and have seen the 32GB for $229.

I installed one of the nightly CM9 releases a week or two ago...it's not the latest though. The nightly I installed did not fix the camera. Do you know if the latest nightly release has the camera fix or do you have to fix that separately somehow with a patch? If it's a separate patch, do you know if there are any plans to merge those changes into the regular nightlies?
For the amount of work you have to put in to make this a (mostly) usable Android tablet, you are likely better off paying a little more for either a used last-gen Android tablet or a newer one. Build quality on these things are notoriously hit or miss (wait til it cracks near the speaker), so unless you really crave webOS, I'd pass this one up if I were you.
But I'm not you, and you'll see an under-$200 tablet and buy it anyway. I tried!

I installed the nightly CM9 dated 10/21, I believe, but then I also ran the patches, so I don't know whether or not the nightly fixed the issue. I know for a fact the patches definitely fixes the issues. For the camera, you only need to install Preview 7 and Preview 8 (don't need to install Previews 1 through 6).
For someone like me who is a real techie, I love the Touchpad, but I agree, if you can find another 9.7" 32GB tablet at a comparable price tag, I would go for that instead of the Touchpad, unless you are up for the challenge and really want a dual-boot device.
We were very happy to get one of these at Best Buy when they came down in price. It has a beautiful display and was a lot of fun to play with. However, we have had bad luck with the charging adapter, however. We've replaced it twice and once again it has died. So now we have a device that can't be reliably charged and we are more than a little frustrated. I think this may be a known issue, but I don't have time at the moment to research it. Be warned!
I got one of these a while back from Woot, paid a bit more. I'm not sure what people use tablets for, it was mostly just to goof around for me. I like it okay, BUT: battery life for me (with WebOS) is not that great (maybe 8 hours straight). I make sure I turn on airplane mode when not in use. It's all right to check email on, or look up stuff briefly on the web. I take it on trips instead of having to have a laptop. And I have the Kindle app to read books with.
But, really, it's a toy. Don't expect to do any real work with it. It's kind of slow, the camera is crappy and just for Skype, which, since it's kind of slow, doesn't work that well (drops out all the time). And since it's only WiFi, you have to always find some place willing to give you WiFi. I had a hard time finding videos that it would run, it's kind of picky here, and at only 32 GB total (no add-on SD card or USB port for storage) it isn't going to be a great movie-watching device (although I did watch a couple TV shows once and they looked okay, for the small screen).
Just my two cents.
I have a 16GB refurb at work and a 32GB that I bought new at home. I've had and used the 32GB for well over a year now, probably averaging about 2 hours a day and a little more on weekends. I've had the 16GB for about 6-8 months and use it almost every day for about an hour or so. Both have Touchstone chargers, HP cases and are running the newest nightlies.
I've never had charging problems, cracks in the case or serious battery life problems. I read comics and ebooks, play games, edit documents, read pdf schematics and manuals for work, watch video and surf the net. I would definitely buy one again if I were to do it again.
[quote postid="5230302" user="diemlinh7"]Thanks very much! (Now I just need to find a kid who's willing to install it for me for $20!)
Listen, if I could do it myself, you probably can. The online instructions are pretty clear, and I was startled by how smoothly it went. OTOH, if I knew a kid who would do it for $20, I probably would have too.
Oh does it? That's great. I've been happy with the build I'm running so I haven't updated in a while.
I got a 16GB off Craigslist from a nice guy who asked a reasonable price and had already installed CM9 on it.
WebOS is pretty fantastic - there's really no way around that. The card interface is really cool for easily switching apps, and the preinstalled apps are amazing for a 10" tablet - much better than anything else out there, including what's in iOS.
I would absolutely love to see more WebOS apps come out, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
All that said, I think we'll be skipping this one. There are much better Android tablets out there now. The TouchPad is heavy and uses previous-generation hardware at this point. If Woot offers a 16GB for $99 shipped or less, that might be worth it...
I've had mine for over a year now, been running CM9 on it for a while. It's not a bad little tablet, but for the money it was a better deal last year than this year. There have been a number of other tablets that have come out in the past year that are available refurbed in this price point that would probably be a better deal.
Short version - I don't regret my purchase last year, but wouldn't pay the same this year.

I saw the 10" 32 GB Asus Transformers on sale for $220 the other day on another 1-item a day sale site. It was manufacturer refurbished and seemed like a great price. But I would not buy from that site because they have no forum or any way to leave any kind of feedback or comments. That is one of the most important things about Woot.
canton44 wrote:haha I remember the fire sale..I abused it big time.
Bought 4 x 16gb $99 and 2 x 32gb $149 from bestbuy order online to pick up at store. Used 3 different cards. Then bought 2 x 16gb from barns and noble. I made a killing on eBay.
That's kind of reform. I'm sure there were plenty of people (such as students) that could have used one of those at that price but the hoarders rushed in to make a quick buck on ebay.
I did buy a couple of these a while back. Nice chunk of hardware. But, every time I look to buying another piece of HP consumer-level equipment, I look at their recent lack of commitment to support of those customers that can least afford to be abandoned.
The operating system on the TouchPad is really dated; HP has officially declined to release an update to it. Current builds of Android are 'iffy' and require a great deal of user commitment.
But, if you have a precocious teenager in the house who really is into operating systems, then this is the machine to buy.
I got a 32gb at Costco during fire sale for 129.
I use it every day bone stock.
like everyone else posts webOS is amazing. I have 3 gripes with the tablet.
1. Speakers get tinny intermittent (known) problem. A quick reboot fixes this so it is software related.
2. Needs current adobe Flash and reader!
If it gets adobe flash updates then amazon prime instant will work again. If adobe reader stays current then added functions will work. I have around 100 technical manuals loaded use it everyday.
3. Needs Netflix as a native app.
Hoping above problems will be addressed if the open sourcing ever gets going. Worth the money at under 150 not so much above that
in my opinion.

I have bought from 1saleaday before with no regrets, also Redtag, secondipity. It takes some trust, one time I had to send something back (defective) to 1saleaday- but they gave me no issues, and I have bought plenty from them that I did not need to send back. As long as there is a decent return policy - I'll take the chance. I do prefer woot, sometimes they don't have the price/selections I'm looking for though.
Can Windows 8 or RT be installed on this?
aea414 wrote:A slight word of warning regarding dual booting.
If you dual booth WebOS and Android(in my case CyanogenMOD) there was some issues with the wi-fi driver using more power when booted in to Android vs WebOS. It eventually caused my 16GB model to never power up again dual to not accepting a charge, even after more than a week of "trickle" charging.(Google "HP Touchpad won't charge" or "won't power up") They might have fixed it by now, but figured I would let people know.
With that said I am still contemplating buy this since it was a great tablet otherwise.
I have had that happen too, I solved it my using the OEM charger (I would imagine any other 2 amp charger would work) and let it charge for a good 2 days. then hold the power AND home button for 30 seconds, it should turn on.
It seems that on android, if the wifi goes power hungry, the device uses more amperage than standard usb can provide so it trickle-dies instead of charge.
CptnJrah wrote:Can Windows 8 or RT be installed on this?
Since the Touchpad has an ARM CPU, it would have to be RT, and since Microsoft isn't selling the RT version directly to consumers, it would require an installer we don't (yet) have.
swootton wrote:It has one major flaw if you're a Amazon Prime person. You cannot stream movies in WebOS or Android. It sort of works in Android but not well. I've had mine since the last $199 deal and it's a great tablet for everything except that.
BTW, mine does not charge on the touchstone I bought. Been back to HP twice and works for 3-5 days then stops. I gave up and just plug the cable in. HP support sucks for warranty repairs. I had to argue and provide proof that the Woot website said HP warranty. They insisted that HP doesn't reman/warranty this item any more.
I just checked; mine does amazon prime video just fine on both WebOS and Android. I think it looks a bit better and smoother on WebOS, but that may just be my cheap old router.
I got one back in March, I think and liked it so much that I got another one for my sister when Woot had the refurbs on sale a few months later.
Now that I've got them both dual booting; it's like the best of both worlds.
Don't expect any support from HP and just use it for a fun media device and it's fine.
Sadly, all the new models of android and ipads do make this show it's age; but for the price it's worth it to learn on if you aren't sure if you'll like tablets.
No way. RT will never have the drivers to run this device (this thing is obsolete), even if it was available and possible to put the OS on via loader. Even if they did, this tablet is too under powered for that OS.
I have 2 32GB touchpads I got during firesale, one stock and one has CM10. They are nice tablets compared to the acers and asus's that were $400+ at the time.
As it stands, I would tell someone to buy an older asus or Acer a500 for around the same money.
I just got my parents an acer a500 for $180 open box. It has similar specs to the touchpad but is native android ICS which is good for my parents who don't want to tweak roms, and having full size usb for flash drives and hdmi for tv out is awesome.
If these were $99, it would be a different story, but I don't see the value in these touchpads compared to other offerings our there.
My issue with the dual boot was the amount of memory it used up, granted i had the 16gig from woot. With web-os and its apps, and then android and those apps I was down 10gigs. I also found it real hard to connect to new wi-fi networks if I wasn't on top of the router. I just sold mine on e-Bay and picked up a 32gig Moto Xoom for $199, added 32gig Sd card, also connected to Verizon 4g-lte for $30, posting this on my laptop using the Xooms built in hot-spot.
Bought mine a little over a year ago and have been happy ever since. It does take a little technical knowledge (or a friend with some) to get it going but the latest CM10 nightly builds have been great. I'm actually typing this comment on it now with my bluetooth keyboard (accessories are pretty easy to find on sale cheap since it is no longer being produced).
If you are considering an Android tablet, I would highly recommend the touchpad from my experience and for the price.
Oh, and I get great battery life with the nightly build of CM10 which was not the case with several other builds so maybe that's why people are sharing negative battery life experiences.
I got one of these the last time the deal was going. This has got to be my best purchase off woot! I added the cyanogenmod fairly easily and on my first try! From one wooter to another..this deal can't be beat!
Aren't these the same ones no one wanted brand new for $100?
mike11212 wrote:Aren't these the same ones no one wanted brand new for $100?
This one (32Gb) was 150 new, the 16gb was 100.
As far as no one wanting them, I remember it somewhat differently, as the described term was a "firesale".
I use mine, which still has WEB OS for streaming HBO GO. I am watching a movie right now!
Still using mine daily after a year.
Dual-booting with CM9 and latest build. Other than a few hang-ups requiring a reboot, I've had zero probs! Such a bargain.
MKV videos run great with Dice Player.
I use this Black TPU case to protect the device:
It's compatible with the must-have TouchStone charger sitting on my nightstand. Cable-free charging is awesome. Just set it down and walk away:
I carry it around using a "Speck iPad Pixelsleeve Plus":
I love that it loads from the side making it easily accessible when placed into the seat pocket on planes. Plus, it has a handle!
Not to rain on the parade by this thing's fans, but I had one for a month, purchased from Woot and thoroughly hated it.
I didn't care for the WebOS one bit and its implementation on this tablet was one big reason why it worked so poorly. Buggy, hard to consistently connect to web pages, etc and etc.
I got rid of it and replaced it with a Toshiba Thrive and then loaded the latest (4.0 or whatever) version of Android's OS. MUCH MUCH MUCH better!
Actually the specs of the TouchPad blow the iPad 1 out of the water. It is more comparable to the iPad 2
Kick ass tablet! I bought mine a year ago and jailbroke mine with cyanogen mod and I'm now running a kick ass droid tablet! I spent $150 on mine but if I needed another one I would so get one!
acer Iconia a200 $190
Only has a front camera and 8gb, but you can add memory and has full size USB port. ICS from the manufacturer download. Just a much better solution at this price point.
Cyanogen woke this baby up, my son got it on the firesale. I got it as a gift from him when he got a newer something. Love the display really fast with good internet connection.
Come on HP step into the nineties!!
Darksoul13 wrote:Why aren't there any 64GB on these things?
They were only made in 16GB or 32GB models.
I had a deep-discharge problem like that for a bit, it wouldn't charge up either on the cradle or with the cord enough to boot up for a bit. I left it on overnight and it finally booted. I was scared it would be dead or I would have to crack the case. Still have yet to get Android on it; is Netflix working yet?

Whats your experience level?
I have a XD40SC. I would not recommend it (in .40 S&W) as a first pistol. It's small with a fairly heavy recoil for it's size. Not a recipe for a happy novice. That said, it is accurate and reliable.
In 9 mm it's very likely much more manageable.
Of course, if you're an old hand with pistols, get whatever floats your boat.

Minus these last couple federal government unemployment bailouts, it is the companies (corporations and small businesses) that pay unemployment insurance to take care of the unemployed (laid off). The rest of the kids still live at home and it is mom and dad that take care of these kids.

My generation had the greatest opportunity's available to us of any generation in the world. Through selfishness and greed we threw that away and are now leaving our children a bucket of crap.
government caused bad loans to be made.
acebird, you assume that because one person is rich, another is poor.
some banks were to blame and were greedy,
all banks did this risky lending.
No they did not. All the government did is dangle a carrot, make it easy for these banks to loan the money with incentives.The government can not even tell the banks what they can do even after the government bailed them out. These banks are still doing what they did before and they will continue to do it until us dang fools stop believing that they are TOO BIG TO FAIL bs.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
Katie Flaute was the only competitor in action Thursday night for the University of Tennessee women's track & field team. The freshman from Dayton, Ohio, made it a successful home debut, recording a career best and placing 10th in the Sea Ray Relays Invitational 5000 meters at a damp and chilly Tom Black Track.
Flaute finished in 17:36.13 and ranks third on the team this season behind redshirt freshman Brooke Novak (Kaukauna, Wis.) in 17:12.59 and fellow true freshman Felicia Guliford (Gallup, N.M.) in 17:24.89. Michigan's Rebecca Walter claimed the 2003 Sea Ray 5K title, covering the distance in a regional-qualifying 16:38.18. Casey Owens of Southwest Missouri State also met the regional standard, doing so in 16:56.97 on a night where temperatures dropped into the low 40s and a steady rain gave way to a light drizzle.
"I thought Katie ran well tonight," UT Head Coach J.J. Clark said. "She ran tough and outkicked people down the stretch, so I
think it was a pretty good start for her. She had a personal best tonight, and if you keep running PRs, sooner or later it is going to
mean something big.
"The regional qualifying mark is 17:00, and tonight she ran 17:36. She'll run the 5K again at Penn Relays and see how close she can get. You have to remember she is only a freshman, and she will just keep getting better."
In other events on day two, former Stephen F. Austin standout Jennifer Hoppe, competing unattached in the heptathlon, placed second in the long jump (19-6.25/5.95m) and javelin throw (119-8/36.47m) and won the 800 meters (2:23.97) to overcome day one leader Hyleas Fountain of Georgia. After scoring 3302 on the first day, Hoppe bounced back with 2204 Thursday to tally a victorious 5506.
Fountain led with 3396 points on Wednesday but managed only 1886 and wound up second at 5282. The 2003 Southeastern Conference indoor pentathlon champion started the second day of competition with a win in the long jump (19-8/5.99m). She finished up by taking fifth in the javelin (92-8/28.25m) and eighth in the 800m (2:38.03).
In the Invitational 3000 meters, Catherine Berry of Asics rolled to a six-second victory in 9:24.33. It marked the third-consecutive year the former East Tennessee State standout claimed the 3K title at the Sea Ray Relays. Briana Shook of Toledo and Lindsey Gallo of Michigan were second and third in 9:30.33 and 9:30.34, respectively.
Thursday's action was wrapped up by a victory in the 10,000 meters from Sara Vergote of Toledo. She circled the newly-resurfaced Tom Black oval in 35:54.46 to easily hold off unattached runner Karen Lutes, who was second in 36:36.84.
After having only one competitor during the first two days, the Lady Volunteers will be at full strength on Friday. Junior Janine Tessarzik (Altamont, N.Y.) will get the morning started with back-to-back entries in the hammer throw and discus at 9 a.m. and 12:15 p.m., respectively. Tessarzik produced the second-best throw in school history last weekend and met the NCAA regional qualifying standard with a heave of 169-3/51.58m.
Events to watch include the pole vault, where senior Christie Elwin (Adelaide, Australia) will attempt to improve her school record; the 200m dash, where sophomores Toyin Olupona (Orillia, Canada) and Dee Dee Trotter (Decatur, Ga.) should be among the favorites; and the 1500 meters, where Clark's wife, Jearl Miles-Clark, and his sister, Hazel Clark, will compete alongside Lady Vols Christy Baird (Knoxville, Tenn.), Elizabeth McCalley (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Jessica Southers (Ashland, Ky.).
Miles-Clark and Clark joined Joetta Clark (sister of J.J. and Hazel) to form the American 800m contingent at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Miles-Clark is also the defending U.S. outdoor champion in the 400 meters. She possesses Sea Ray titles in the 200m (1997), 400m (2001), 800m (2002), while Hazel claimed SR crowns in the 800m (1998, 2001).

I need some help with my RS voice amp. I have cut it apart down to this so far:
I want to put the control board in the helmet and the battry pack in my belt. Not sure where to put the speaker yet. I need to know what to reconnect the wires once I cut them. I know the red and black ones go to the speaker. I see the white one goes to the battery board but it's the blue, green and grey ones that I am unsure of and since the AC port is no longer needed what gets connected to what?

Also, are there any accreditations or special criteria that I should consider?

College Curriculum Committee By-Laws
Statement of Policy
The College Curriculum Committee (CCC) is responsible for implementation, assessment and oversight of the General Education plan of the College. It is also responsible for making recommendations to the provost on curricular issues that extend beyond the purview of any single school or unit. The CCC will also facilitate communication among the schools and the Academic Affairs Council (ACC) by assisting in addressing broad strategic issues related to curriculum development, emphasizing cross-school and unit collaboration, avoiding duplication, and integrating course and assessment-based approaches to address general education requirements and general education development.
The College Curriculum Committee is charged with three main tasks:
- To implement the General Education plan and to provide oversight for its continuous assessment and development.
- To establish guidelines that the Schools will use to review new general education assessment and course proposals, assessment and course modifications, and assessment and course deletions to ensure consistency with the General Education plan.
- Collaborate with the AAC, the Schools, the Office of Outcomes Assessment and Institutional Research, and the Center for Educational Measurement, to produce an annual report to the provost with recommendations on broad, College-wide curricular issues that extend beyond the purview of any single school or unit and that respond to the evolving needs of Excelsior College students.
Composition and Structure of the CCC:
The CCC is a standing committee within academic affairs composed of faculty and staff from within the College as well as representatives external to the College such as adjunct faculty members. The committee reports directly to the provost.
Appointment and Composition:
All members of the College Curriculum Committee are appointed by the provost for two-year terms. Members may be reappointed to an additional one-year term upon the provost's approval.
Membership in the College Curriculum Committee will consist of:
- Two representatives of academic advising selected from advisors, directors of advisement and evaluation, director of advising services, or academic evaluation specialists. Appointment of these two members will rotate among the schools.
- Four external faculty representatives.
- One representative from the Center for Educational Measurement.
- One representative from the Office of Outcomes Assessment and Institutional Research.
- Four program directors or Nursing faculty.
The chair of the committee will be selected by the committee. All members have equal voting privileges.
In addition to these members, the chair may invite representative(s) to sit on the committee for extended periods of time to advise on particular issues and to provide updates on task force initiatives.
Input from adjunct faculty and Excelsior College students will be gathered when needed by the committee via focus groups, surveys, and/or teleconferences.
Meeting frequency:
The CCC meets for two hours each month, but will meet more frequently if need arises.
Reporting duties of the chairperson:
The chair of the CCC will make quarterly reports to the provost. The CCC chairperson or other members of the committee will also share appropriate information with deans when necessary throughout the year and will make biannual reports to the Academic Affairs Council. Pertinent information will also be shared with Excelsior College faculty on a regular basis via the Faculty Newsletter.

The tragic death of Benazir Bhutto has left her nation in shambles as members of the Pakistan Peoples Party march through the streets shouting slogans about the "General Killer" who they blame for her assassination. The out pouring of sympathy and respect for the brave Pakistan leader has, unfortunately, transformed a flawed person into an heroic icon. Ms. Bhutto, as prime minister, supported formation of the Taliban and undoubtedly was well aware that nuclear knowledge was being conveyed to other parts of the world. But, she did possess the quality of bravery and this is something President Musharraf must now demonstrate during the long night his nation now confronts.
What can President Musharraf do in order to unite his grief stricken country? He must first recognize that a victory for his Pakistan Muslin League in next week's election will only further fracture Pakistan. Musharraf must rise above party concerns and reach out to the PPP and his opponent, Nawaz Shariff. A plea from the president to his countrymen to vote for PPP candidates and those of Shariff would resonate with people chanting hatred toward him. This approach would cast him as a statesman who has abandoned partisan party politics in order to unify his divided nation. He could appoint a bipartisan commission to thoroughly investigate and reform the notorious ISI which is believed by many to have had a role in the assassination. Regardless of whether the rumors are accurate, the leadership of the ISI must be thoroughly revamped in order to restore public confidence.
President Musharrf has never displayed statesmanlike qualities because in his heart there is a hunger for order and control. He may wind up selecting the road of authoritarianism or he can walk down the more precarious road to democracy. If PPP candidates and Shariff win control of Parliament, they can unite with the president and address issues of poverty and terrorism. The alternative is further division, further chaos, and further terrorism.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Try searching "SuperTrapp" muffler. Some configs. have a higher pitch sound.
chamber design. I'm stuck, please help!
my lonesome have been working on a set of mufflers that don't sound like fecal matter. I am having a difficult time finding just the mufflers (race mufflers). I DO NOT want an entire exhaust system. I do have the capability of fabing up mufflers, I have custom made equal length headers to an x pipe thus far. I DO NOT want the mufflers to have those two little connections keeping them together. I will be making this a side exit.
The motor is a carbed 5.5 lt small journal sbc. Should be able to make power to 7800 or so rpm.
I am looking for the highest frequency/note/tone/pitch I can get. I very much enjoy the higher, crisper, cleaner sound the european v8 makes. I hate with a passion the rumble of the harley/dumptruck American v8. I have heard flowmasters on these cars. I don't know if it was the particular flowmaster series or what. But that m3 was a dumptruck. I am trying to avoid that.
Sounds like a chevy small block doing a dyno pull to me...
amazing high frequency sound
Here is a cutaway of a corsa muffler.
I am rather sure that the chambers in the muffler can be designed as such to reflect frequencies to cancel out the unwanted frequencies. I just can't find the math anywhere to determine the dimensions of the chambers.
I am working with 17.9 inch long primary tubes that are 1 and 5/8 in diameter, they go into a 2.5 inch collector, that then goes into a 3 inch x pipe, that will then go directly to the side exit mufflers. I am keeping it as short as possible to help retain the sound I am after.
This is what I am avoiding.
Same motor different car different mufflers...
So does anyone know how to design the muffler to achieve this? Or designing a resonator to do this? Or simply the chambers inside the muffler to do this?
I am so stuck. Also I don't think a helmholts resonator of any kind will do the trick. that would only cancel out the freq. I think this is more like a musical instrument where the sound entering is not going to be the sound at the bell of the horn coming out.

I've been messing around with Hamster and Ferret lately and have gotten it to work on BT5R2 x64 to the extent that it will sniff packets and find targets and not kick back mon0 like it does out of the box (I used the fix on these forums that allows the apps to work on x64 opposed to simply x32) but now I am posed with several other issues:
-no matter what I seem to do with iwconfig or airmon-ng I am unable to have hamster/ferret sniff on any other channel than channel 6 of my wifi adapter (mon0), the app just seems to want to default to channel 6. how can this be addressed? has anyone else had this issue or found a fix.
-my second problem is that when I access the hamster / ferret web ui via firefox (I make sure to clear my cookies first) and when targets and database's start to populate the corresponding links to the target do not show up on the left side in the frame. my firefox uses noscript and I allow 127.0.0.1:1234 or whatever it is to the exceptions. has anyone else had this issue? is there something I am doing wrong here?
I know this program is long since unsupported but it still seems to work for some since it is still pre-installed on backtrack. as a backup plan I was debating running the 32bit version from a virtual machine within 64bit but I was hoping to avoid this since I love RAM
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Finding the Right Puppy (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/finding-right-puppy/)
- - Puppies and Color Patterns (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/finding-right-puppy/406162-puppies-color-patterns.html)
Puppies and Color Patterns
Hi, I'm new to these forums, first time posting :) I will be getting a new puppy later this year. My dog Rocky passed last month to old age (15 years). Ideally, I would like to get a dog that resembles him. My dog Rocky had identical colors and patterns like the dog in the video.
I been speaking with a breeder from Southern California. She has been a delight to talk to. More likely I will be going through her for my next pup. One question she never got around to answering was if it was possible to tell what a puppy will look like as an adult. My thing is I would like a dog to have a large black coat that covers all the back, shoulders, neck, head and it finishes in the upper leg like the dog in the video.
When I get a pup, it will be mine forever. When it grows up, I will like it whatever it looks like. I just want to know if it's possible to know/have a good idea what a pup will look like as an adult. In the past I never really cared much about colors and patterns. Now that my dog Rocky had passed, I'm interested in knowing more about colors and patterns.
Note: I'm trying to gain knowledge on this subject. My questions and assumptions might sound amateur because I'm one, lol. I appreciate all knowledge you folks are willing to share.
Hi GGb - welcome to the forum. Your question is quite sound, and is a common one for newbies interested in learning more.
The color pattern you are looking for is called a Blanket Back - the black of the black and tan covers most of the back going down the legs as you described, instead of just being the traditional saddle pattern.
This pattern is most often found in working lines, or American Show lines, and not very likely to be found in German Show lines.
If you are not familiar with the different lines of GSDs, this is a good article that describes the differences, and goes over how the different lines came about:
(Types of German Shepherds, by Wildhaus Kennels )
It is hard to tell how the puppies will end up. Black and Tan pups usually are born almost solid black with some tan on them, then lighten up as they get older. The first thing for you is to find out what lines of GSDs the breeder you talked to is breeding. If German Show lines, the probability of having a blanket back pup is extremely low, almost nada.
So that leaves American Show lines, and working lines - two very different type of dogs in looks and temperament, though a great pet and companion can be found in both lines. You may want to study more about the two lines, and go visit breeders and get a feel of the dogs, and decide which type you like best. Then to get a blanket back, see what the parents look like. Two saddle backs are not very likely to produce a blanket back, but two blanket backs, or dogs coming from lines that have a number of blanket backs in their pedigree will have a better chance of producing a blanket back.
Once again, thanks for the info. I will be looking into it.
This is my girl. The first picture is at about 12 weeks, and the second is at two years. I also didn't know about the different colors and patterns when I rescued her. It's interesting to see how she has changed over time. She may get more red as she gets older, but I'm hoping she will keep her blanket.
Hi LeoRose, The blanket did decrease a little over the two year span, it's still a decent size. Your girl at 12 weeks didn't have much black in her neck and face. Maybe that's an indicator of how the colors will be later on? Some of the puppies I'm seeing are 8-10 weeks and they're almost all black with tan only on the feet and small spots on opposite sides of the face.
I think the colors of your dog are Black and Red? Cute girl and props for rescuing her.
Leontine is considered black and red, yes. She has what is called a "reverse mask", which is why her face is so light. I just love her "eye-liner".
I'm wondering if the pups you're seeing are bi-colors.

Intermedia is a concept developed in the 1960s to describe art that combines elements of various disciplines. Examples of Intermedia include works of art involving both painting and theater, or sculpture and video. Hans Breder's Weisse Tasse, 2003, occupies the artistic space between still photography and film, where the image of the white cup is a screen for the film as well as a container for the woman.
The film projected onto the cup was made by Breder in 1972 at the University of Iowa where he founded the first program to offer a degree in Intermedia. Beginning in 1968, he directed the program for over 30 years.

Just found this on another forum...

Just found this on another forum...
Too bad - they've made some solid guns over the years.
On the upside, B&T took over manufacturing of the TMP pistol..
Good riddance.
There's nothing about it on their web site yet.
I hate to hear this. My M9 has been a good pistol, if the M9A1 gets cheap enough, might have to pick one up.
I might have seen this coming!!
Steyr's fatal troubles started when their original factory got yanked out from under them some years back.
That should have been the end, but they procured another facility and started up again, a very expensive undertaking. You have to remember, these European makers exist solely on Government contracts, being there is little or no civilian sales in their own back yard.
I understand Styer had a contract with Iran, which went over like a lead balloon. More than likely, their demise is tied to the UN sanctions placed on that horrid little sand pit and the lack of other government contracts!!
I told my friend about this, hes been wanting a Styer for sometime now....I told him its now or never, lol.
And at the prices they are now, I might have to snag one myself...
Wow! I didn't know that.
Had a Steyr M40. Didn't care for it at all. Traded it in for my PT100SS.
Actually thats not exactly true, they aren't out of business, just been sold to a new owner and under reorg.
CDNN purchased all existing distributor stock, but Steyr (in GA) will still be doing support/repair while the re-org is going on.
Lot's of info in Steyrclub.com
+1 above
this is like the fifth time I've heard Steyr is out of business since I researched and bought my first 1 about 4 years ago. Yet they have been making guns since the 1860's!!
Granted they did go through a few importers and warranty centers in the US before they built their own facilities in the US. And it was recently sold (much like S&W was a few years ago when it was teetering on bankruptcy).

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Slippy, Oct 11, 2007.
I got this information from a highly credible anonymous source within the organization.
Oh, OK.
Looks like a couple owners got caught with their pants down cuz of the early starts for MLK Day. Thanks Slippy ;) I needed a few of your guys out to help offset some under par performances by my guys.
I'd rather not think of Slippy with his pants down thank you very much... Hey, so how you doing in your league Det? PM me & fill me in.
hmmmm. I thought i set that for today. i suck. At any rate, good luck Det.
Good luck to you too Slip
Oh I can't believe it. The first time all season I have screwed up on setting my lineups! And of course out of 11 guys, the two I have benched from the previous day? Andris and Deron. AARGH!!!
Hey Slip...except for a couple cats, we had a tight race going. I already had gimpy Nelson, but now with Gordon & Melo out til who knows when, you should run away with it. Perhaps karmic justice has been served on me for reveling in your MLK day slippy-up...sigh
My team is also hobbling a bit. Who knows. it could go either way.
Mine's hobbled too. This thing is wide open.
Just make the playoffs. Its a whole 'nother ball game come april.
Maybe the Sprockets are starting to finally come around... Rondo 15 points, 5 boards, 5 assists, 6 steals Hinrich 13 and 5 Lee 13 boards ...all yesterday.
I lost like 10 or 11 games due to injury and still only lost 4-5. Having those guys (especially Melo & Gordon) out sucked, but I think I was pretty lucky.
Wow, you were lucky to take 4 points. Good thing you were playing Slippy.
I must have tossed out 4 games by not setting my line up :nerd2:
No. Only the two guys sitting on your bench Monday afternoon :D
This just keeps getting better. Gordon & Melo still out...and NOW Maggette goes down with the flu :P
I'm beating Laim's Lame-O's like a drum. I'm thundering and rumbling, crashing the boards, and throwing it down like a big man!
My top two guys (Garnett, Arenas) are getting DNPs this week. I would say that I'll get you back in the playoffs, but you probably won't qualify for the playoffs.
I'm always at my most boastful when I am on my knees. Let it not be said I went quietly into the night.
Separate names with a comma.

So what did we do last Saturday..We had a dinner "party" of 14 including myself and my girlfriend, having dinner with 12 virtually unknown people, some i met twice..but laugh and talk as if we known each other for years, others i know them by their online identity..So who are they?? Lets see, Jason, WMW, Sooyin, Mavis, Paprika and Hunky (Mikhail although i thought it was Mikel), Nigel and Allan, Meena and Bald Eagle, Boo and Splashie Boy and of course us.. Links? I am abit too lazy..there should be all under the exclusive list of blogs that i read..
So what else should i talk about given that i have 20 minutes before i start work at my client's office about a dinner that lasted from 8.00pm all the way to 11.30pm bearing in mind i was the first one to leave..? Tons of laugh and chatting..tons of cam whoring..for the food that is..I was suddenly intimately closer to everyone because of my infamous photo.. i am still waiting to get famous by the way.. One thing though, i went away knowing that i made a bunch of friends that i would love to keep for a very long time to come..and of course i was also brain washed and on the verge of being converted to a dslr camera user, took dummy lessons on photography and yes..finally lets talk about food..i think pictures says a thousand words..and i shall leave you with the long awaited pictures..
Unlimited flow of bread with reduced balsamic vingear and olive oil to stuff our mouths when we were resting it from laughing and talking
A beautiful portobello mushroom salad with okra and cherry tomatoes..
The Pepper Crust Rib Eye with mustard sauce..(RM50) tastes as good as it sounds..a virtually perfect combination that you just cant go wrong.. It was perfectly cooked as ordered..medium with no blood spilling out but still reddish inside..
The Two Ducks..Cooked two styles thus the name, we had a tangy and sweet one on the left..and the roasted one on the right..the left one stole the show although with only four thin slices it overpowered the more subtle roasted one on the right..perhaps i could it get it all done up in the style on the left? (RM40)
The champion dish that actually got me to go back to this place twice to order the same dish..The Wagyu Beef Cheeks..i could see WMW and Lyrical Lemongrass just about to tear as they close their eyes and had that "orgasmic" look before they cut another bite and let it melt in their mouths..its that wonderful..only for RM60
The White Chocolate Tart that Meena guarded with her life from cameras and spoons..Our Chocolate Souffle that felt abit heavy after being enlightened by some professionals..I feel so enlightened..
Another thing i learnt from these bunch of floggers is the appreciation for food, the taste for food instead of gobbling down everything because its easy on the throat and tastes good..The ratings and details? All in part 1..
I am just laughing alone in a meeting room as i upload all these pictures, the memories..hahaha..

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
a young woman who wants to be the wife or girlfriend of a famous professional football player
'But the wannabe WAGs, known on the scene as Wagabees, don't just spend their time trying to catch a footballer – they also make vicious attempts at destroying the chances of any other girl.'The Sun24th September 2010
It seems that there's a particular group of young women with a keen interest in football, but the 'match' they want to play a part in doesn't involve kicking a ball around. If she's young, beautiful and downright desperate to acquire the glamorous lifestyle of a WAG, then what does that make her? A Wagabee of course!
sociologists argue that the concept of the Wagabee reflects a shift towards the desire for fast fame and fortune
If a WAG is the wife or girlfriend of a famous footballer, then a wannabe WAG, or Wagabee, is a young woman who will go out of her way to date footballers, her sole aim to secure future WAG status. And it seems that 'going out of her way' means truly stopping at nothing, since being a Wagabee is a highly competitive business. In ruthless pursuit of a footballer to call her own, the Wagabee might resort to extreme measures in order to disadvantage her competitors, such as spreading unpleasant rumours about them, spiking their drinks with drugs or alcohol, or even fighting. Like any sporting professional, the Wagabee needs the appropriate 'kit', which often consists of hair extensions, and an outfit which exposes as much of her slim, voluptuous, fake-tanned figure as possible. The savvy Wagabee also doesn't leave anything to chance, signing up to be on the list of a so-called 'promoter' who keeps her informed of the places where footballers are planning to party.
Wagabees are thought to be inspired by the likes of Coleen McLoughlin and Alex Curran, 'ordinary' young women who married high-profile footballers Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard. Sociologists argue that the concept of the Wagabee reflects a shift towards the desire for fast fame and fortune, with young women valuing their bodies more than their brains as the asset most likely to make them rich and successful. Like WAG before it, the word Wagabee has rather derogatory overtones, showing a lack of respect for such women which borders on sexism.
Wagabee is a blend of WAG, an acronym of wife and girlfriend, which first hit the spotlight during the 2006 World Cup as an informal reference to the partners of famous footballers, and wannabe, an informal word for a person who wants to be famous or successful. Like WAG and Wagabee, wannabe is also rather derogatory, first appearing in the 1980s to represent an informal pronunciation of 'want to be'. Wagabee is spelt in various ways as shown above, but the most common form is with double e, forcing the pronunciation of a long vowel at the end. Though WAG still largely occurs in capitalized form, Wagabee doesn't seem to occur as WAGabee, though usually retains the initial capital 'W'.
The male counterpart to the WAG is the HAB, an acronym of husband and boyfriend, which is used to refer to the male partners of famous sportswomen (often tennis players) or female celebrities (especially the members of girl bands). Although there is still some evidence of use, HAB has been far less quick to establish itself, and there is, unsurprisingly, no evidence of a corresponding term Hababee. WAG on the other hand has earned itself a place in many established dictionaries, and been subject to various playful modifications, among them the term RAG, an acronym of royal and girlfriend, which was used in reference to Kate Middleton prior to her recent marriage to Prince William. Another acronym describing wives in a sporting context is WOW, short for Wives of Wimbledon, which refers to a wife or girlfriend of a professional tennis player competing at the Wimbledon tennis championships.

Kevin holds a B.A. in Theology and Biblical Studies from Eastern Mennonite University, an MA in Church Leadership from Eastern Mennonite Seminary, with concentrations in Pastoral Counseling and Christian Spiritual Formation and a D.Min in Spiritual Direction through Graduate Theological Foundation, South Bend, IN.
Kevin is a pastor at heart, ordained by the Virginia Mennonite Conference in 1996 and was recently the pastor of Big Spring Mennonite Church, Luray VA from 1996 to 2004. He has 21 years pastoral experience, serving within several Christian denominations. Kevin has been an adjunct instructor at Eastern Mennonite Seminary (1996-present) in the area of Christian Spiritual Formation. He is a spiritual director, retreat leader and board member of Blue Ridge Ministries, Inc. an interdenominational retreat ministry located in the Shenandoah Valley.
Kevin has participated with Dorothy Jean Weaver in the on-going personal connections and involvement in the Israel/Palestine. This includes a Seminary study tour program "Places, People, & Prayers and a Middle East work group through the Virginia Mennonite Board of Missions, – Partners in Mission program.
How might someone be truly helpful to another as they face the humdrum or the crisis of their life's journey? How is it that some of the most well-intentioned efforts at "help" turn out not to be helpful—even hurtful? How is it that a congregation of committed people can become so hurtful to each other? And, how is it that despite one's best efforts one behaves in ways that seem abhorrent when observed in others? Exploring these and similar questions have challenged and energized Kenton's journey as a member, pastor, chaplain, leader and pastoral educator—-and his students.
As Director of EMS's Mentored Ministry programs Kenton is dedicated to an experiential learning process whereby participants have opportunity through a cycle of practice and reflection to explore their questions and convictions regarding what it means to minister as a follower of Jesus Christ. This learning process is informed by the conviction that learning is established when new insight informs new behaviors practiced again and again—when "practice" establishes a "practice." My hope is that each student will be sufficiently challenged by some experience of ministry during their study at EMS that they will be thrust into new levels of theological reflection, self-examination and the experience of God's love and grace.
Kenton is the eleventh of twelve children born to Abram and Ruth Derstine, life-long members of Souderton Mennonite church in Southeastern Pennsylvania. He graduated from Eastern Mennonite College—after a stint at the U. of Colorado. Active in the anti-Vietman War movement through much of his college years Kenton reneged on his acceptance into graduate school to study political science after spending a semester in Europe studying Anabaptist origins. He came to share the conviction of these spiritual forebears that the meaning of history and societal transformation lay more in the church than in political processes. Therefore, he entered the Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary and with his wife joined the Fellowship of Hope Church and Community in Elkhart, IN. Commitment to the church as "community," as a "demonstration plot" of the Kingdom of God has energized and focused his teaching and has been a point of connection with current emergent forms of the church.
Following graduating seminary Kenton entered Clinical Pastoral Education and served Chaplain Internships and Residencies in three different hospitals, eventually gaining certification as a CPE Supervisor. Included in his experience was his service as chaplain on the Critical Care units of Methodist Hospital of Indiana, home of the treatment team for drivers injured on the IndyCar racing circuit. Kenton came to EMS after serving for seven years as CPE Supervisor and CPE Program Manager at St. Vincent Hospitals, Indianapolis. Kenton and Rhoda are the parents of three adult children. Kenton has been a beekeeper for over forty years and is intrigued by the message that the world-wide die-off of honeybees has posed to modern life.
In addition to his teaching role, David serves the seminary community as Director of Cross Cultural Programs.
David has worked in various ministry contexts. While living in Washington, DC, David was the Junior/Senior High Director of an out-of-school time program on Capitol Hill. Later he served as Community Development Resource coordinator with MCC East Coast. Most recently he was co-pastor of Boonton United Methodist Church in New Jersey. In concert with his teaching and scholarship, David practices a local "eco-lutionary" lifestyle that promotes a sustainable future for the diverse people of the Shenandoah Valley Watershed.
Nancy has worked as a teacher and an administrator first at Mennonite Central Committee and since 1999 at EMU. Her lifelong professional and churchly involvement with Mennonites and Brethren in Christ around the world, and her research interests in early Christianity, shape her reading and research into approaches to biblical interpretation. She enjoys singing, listening to birds, and long slow walks.
Growing up in a non-Christian home within a racist community, being encountered by Christ in a Baptist revival toward the end of high school, and being pastored by a WWII veteran—these would not seem to be the ingredients to produce a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War. But then the gospel of Jesus Christ is not predictable. It changes lives! In Mark's case, a radical conversion followed by reading the New Testament and hearing many sermons about God's love for the whole world convinced Mark that following Jesus included not killing one's enemies.
Several years later Mark discovered Christians within various traditions who, with Mark, saw peace and social justice as inherent in the gospel of Jesus Christ. But it was through reading The Politics of Jesus by John Howard Yoder that Mark began to find a theological home in the Anabaptist/ Mennonite tradition. Mark's subsequent studies with Yoder, followed by doctoral studies under Jim McClendon and Nancey Murphy, along with a co-editing friendship with Stanley Hauerwas deepened Mark's commitment to the centrality of Jesus for ministries of peace and justice, and led to the integration of theology and ethics that infuse his teaching and writing.
Mark's voracious reading in multiple disciplines is animated by his passion to help the church remain faithful to Christ. His current writing project with two former seminary students is focused on recapturing Dietrich Bonhoeffer's commitment to the centrality of Jesus Christ linked to faithful discipleship as the defining center of his life and work.
Mark's teaching at the seminary draws on his experiences within several early "emergent/new monastic" Christian communities, his brief stint as a child protective services social worker, his six years as the founding director of an ecumenical peace and justice organization, his pastorates in several denominations, and his 5 ½ years as director of the London Mennonite Centre, in London, England. He is currently on the leadership team of a Mennonite church organically connected to Our Community Place, a center devoted to serving the "least among us" in Harrisonburg. His preaching and teaching in that community coupled with his attentiveness to the vast needs and challenges within our larger cultural contexts serve to ground his life and teaching in the transforming work of Christ in the world through the church.
Acknowledged as one of the foremost authorities in the world on John Howard Yoder, Mark's interests are wide ranging. However, in a few words, his driving passion is to discern with others what it means to articulate afresh the holistic gospel of Jesus Christ for today or, in other words, to ask what it looks like to embody "the politics of Jesus" for our time.
Emily Peck-McClain is an ordained United Methodist pastor in the New York Annual Conference. She has served churches in Manhattan, Staten Island, and Fort Montgomery. She has a passion for ministry with youth. In her academic life, she has taught courses in Christian education, youth ministry, preaching, formation, and worship. Her scholarly work is interdisciplinary, looking at the writings of the apostle Paul as a resource for Christian formation.
Emily sees her teaching as ministry and seeks to partner with the Holy Spirit in transforming students as they journey into or continue in their own professional ministries. She is keenly aware of the formative nature of the classroom, of community living, and of worship.
Emily completed her Doctor of Theology degree in 2015 from Duke University Divinity School. Her dissertation was titled, "Revealing the Power: New Creation Epistemology for Adolescent Girls." During her final year writing her dissertation, Emily was honored to be chosen by the American Association of University Women (AAUW) as a Dissertation Fellow.
In her spare time, Emily enjoys hiking, camping, running, and spending time with her husband and two daughters.
Andrea's research stands within and contributes to the broadly ecumenical movement, theological interpretation of scripture. Her work particularly focuses on testing and demonstrating the continuing significance of early Christian interpretation for modern reading. Andrea is currently writing the Exodus volume for the T&T Clark International Theological Commentary.
To live life at the call of God is to encounter ongoing surprises, unexpected delights, and God's robust sense of humor. Dorothy Jean Weaver always knew that she would grow up to be a teacher. But she could never have imagined the life she now lives.
Years ago Dorothy Jean discovered, unexpectedly, a deep passion for studying the New Testament and a life vocation of opening the Scriptures for and with others in the seminary classroom and beyond. This calling eventually drew Dorothy Jean into New Testament Studies at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, where she earned a PhD in 1987.
Since 1984 Dorothy Jean has been teaching New Testament at EMS. Her courses include Elementary Greek, New Testament: Text in Context, and book studies across the New Testament canon. She anchors inter-disciplinary courses, "Women and Men in Scripture and Church" and "Creation Care in Scripture and Church." In the academic world she has served as Co-Chair of the Society of Biblical Literature Matthew Section; and she has published Matthew's Missionary Discourse: A Literary Critical Analysis (Sheffield, 1990) and numerous Matthean essays.
But there were still more surprises. Following a sabbatical at Tantur Ecumenical Institute, across the valley from Bethlehem, Dorothy Jean discovered a sturdy new sense of vocation, namely to introduce North American Christians to Israel/Palestine through study tours and work groups. Since 1998 Dorothy Jean has co-led more than 15 such tours through EMS ("Places, People, & Prayers") and Virginia Mennonite Missions ("Nazareth/Bethlehem Work Groups"). And Dorothy Jean has taught New Testament courses in Beirut, Lebanon, Bethlehem, Palestine, Cairo, Egypt, and Debre Zeit, Ethiopia.
"It's been the ride of a lifetime," Dorothy Jean notes. "I could never have planned such a life on my own. The call of God is simply astonishing. And God's sense of humor never ceases to amaze."
The church and seminary face a dizzying array of challenges and opportunities as we live into the 21st century. Dr. Lonnie Yoder is passionate about preparing leaders who are responding to their unique callings in life. He especially enjoys mentoring and counseling younger leaders who are discovering ways to share their gifts with both church and society. He is intrigued by the challenges of revisioning theological education, including the development of new delivery systems such as distance learning and hybrid courses.
Lonnie is excited about investing in the church in both its traditional and emergent forms. One practical expression of this commitment is his role as a consultant to over a dozen area congregations and pastors, four of which represent varying emergent forms of congregational life. He is also committed to cultivating a truly diverse church in which all of those who represent the rich diversity of our human community are given voice and place in Christian communities around the globe. Involvements in Jamaica, Trinidad, Haiti, Colombia, and other locations have both inspired and challenged Lonnie. Finally, Lonnie is committed to a lifelong journey of discovering the ordinary, but powerful, ways in which we care for one another in the church and beyond. Of special interest is the various ways in which technology can serve us as we strengthen our care and our communities.
A native of rural southeast Iowa, Lonnie served as youth minister and assistant pastor in his home congregation, East Union Mennonite Church, for twelve years before engaging doctoral studies in Religion and Personality at the University of Iowa. Married to Teresa Boshart, stewardship consultant for Everence, father to two young adult daughters, and grandfather of two, Lonnie enjoys family time, sports, genealogy, and gardening. A professor at Eastern Mennonite since 1991, from 2010-2016 he carried the role of associate dean at the seminary while continuing to teach in the areas of pastoral care/counseling and leadership.
Nate's book Together in the Work of the Lord studies the Conservative Mennonite Conference as a case study in Mennonite-evangelical relations, particularly in the latter part of the twentieth century.
Earlier, Nate focused his dissertation on Mennonite fundamentalists, including the founders of the Eastern Mennonite School in 1917. One way that Nate describes this project's contribution highlights grammatical construction. Previous scholarship portrayed fundamentalism as infiltrating Mennonitism, positioning the movement as subject. In pursuing an interpretation with more nuance, Nate focused on specific Mennonite leaders, describing them as actors rather than objects – and therefore the subjects of the sentence – who had chosen to engage the broader fundamentalist movement.
As EMU's University Archivist, Nate is resourcing Donald Kraybill, author of the centennial history to be released in 2017.
Adjunct Faculty
Beth Bergman enjoys helping students and faculty organize course schedules. She likes helping students find their way through the registration process at EMS. Along with advisors, she walks students through their seminary career and helps them make choices about courses that fit their schedule and their academic goals. In addition to her work at EMS she is the mother of two active teenage boys. When she's not at work or shuttling her boys to sports practice, she enjoys camping and biking together with her husband, Mark, and two boys.
Beverly is eager to tell folks she meets that she has the best job at the Seminary! She feels privileged to have the opportunity to interact with students, faculty, staff, and visitors on a daily basis. As Office Coordinator, Secretary to Seminary Admissions and the CPE program, her days are filled with lots of variety and detail.
In 2002, as she and her family were planning a move to VA, she prayed that God would lead her to the job He had in mind for her, and is grateful for His leading to the seminary community.
Prior to working at the seminary, Beverly held a variety of office jobs, including supporting and assisting her husband with an electrical contracting business.
She and her husband Laverne are the parents of three married children and the grandparents of four precious grandchildren!
Les comes to his work at EMU/EMS as a double alumnus. He graduated with a BS in Biology and Chemistry in 1986. After obtaining an MS in Polymer Science from Virginia Tech, he worked as a research chemist in Carlisle, PA for five years before returning to the Shenandoah Valley to begin studies at Eastern Mennonite Seminary. After receiving an MDiv in 1998, Les and his family sojourned in Richmond, VA where Les engaged in additional studies in Hebrew Bible at Union Theological Seminary, and served as interim pastor of First Mennonite Church of Richmond.
In 2005, Les and his family moved to Christiansburg, VA where he served as pastor of Christiansburg Mennonite Fellowship for seven years before returning to the Shenandoah Valley once again in 2012 to accept a position with EMU/EMS.
Les enjoys gardening, listening, driving his 30 year old pickup truck, and collecting reasons why he loves to work where he works.
Growing up in Cuba and Mexico as son of missionary parents, Michael A. King experienced multiple cultures and faith understandings. He learned to cherish the Anabaptist-Mennonite commitment to faithfully follow Jesus while wondering what alternate convictions another tradition might have shaped in him. Immersion in Christian thought and life at a time his Mennonite community forbade watching TV even as he gulped down secular books and novels made him wonder what was real and true and good amid competing perspectives. He also wrestled with the gap between Christians' talk and walk. As a result, into early adulthood King came to question the existence of God and the validity of Christianity even while craving the divine. Often feeling at the margins, unsure to which culture he fully belonged, bred in him compassion for others marginalized by life circumstances or unjust structures.
Although refined and chastened by life journeying, experience as pastor and publisher, academic training, and turning toward a faith in Christ enlarged by doubts and questions, lessons from King's background continue to nurture his passions at Eastern Mennonite Seminary. There he is articulating such themes as "treasures of not being sure," "transforming the shadows," and "using power for the less powerful."
King writes "Unseen Hands," a column for Mennonite World Review, and blogs at Kingsview & Co. He has long been an editor and publisher, first through Herald Press (Scottdale, PA, 1989-1997) and then more recently as owner and publisher, Cascadia Publishing House LLC (Telford, PA, 1997-). He has been pastor in congregational settings ranging from Germantown Mennonite Church (Philadelphia, PA, 1982-1989), Spring Mount (PA) Mennonite Church (1997-2008), and more.
King is married to Joan Kenerson King, of Olean, NY, a family therapist and an advanced practice nurse who consults nationwide with public behavioral health systems. They are parents of three adult daughters and have three grandchildren.
"You guys don't realize what you've got here," said a student who was only on campus one semester and who received most of her seminary training in another location. When asked to elaborate, she said that the feel of community on this campus is different than she experienced anywhere else. She was pleasantly surprised that seminary faculty, staff and students alike are encouraged to attend and participate regularly in chapel, community lunches, meetings, etc.
These comments helped clarify what Joanna already knows and experiences. As Administrative Assistant to the Seminary Dean, she coordinates an amazing office staff with varied gifts and abilities who exemplify servant leadership at its best. Comments such as "that's not my job," or "that's beneath my abilities," are not heard in the administrative suite. When there is a project to be completed, the staff works together to accomplish what they feel is best for the seminary community.
Prior to working at EMS, Joanna taught computer, accounting and keyboarding classes at Eastern Mennonite High School (EMHS) for five years and an additional 13 years at Massanutten Technical Center and EMU. For eight years she was the bookkeeper at Rockingham Eye Physicians. In 1999 she began as the Assistant for Seminary Development at Eastern Mennonite Seminary and in 2001 became the Administrative Assistant to the Seminary Dean.
She and her husband Duane are the parents of three adult children and grandparents of five.
Before picking up his current director responsibilities, Mark pastored for more than eighteen years in Pennsylvania and Virginia. Now he combines administrative and teaching responsibilities for the STEP Program (Study and Training for Effective Pastoral Ministry), and for Master of Divinity level seminary courses in southeastern Pennsylvania. His research and writing interests are in the areas of preaching and worship, particularly rites and ministries of healing. He and his wife Kathy attend Groffdale Mennonite Church; they have two young adult daughters Regina and Charlotte. He likes to sing, to talk politics and theology and do fix-up projects around the home. He writes a bi-monthly "Matters of Faith" column for the Lancaster (Pa.) Sunday News.

The Mets Find New Home at WOR
FLUSHING, N.Y., November 4, 2013 – The New York Mets and Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, the leading media company in America with a greater reach in the U.S. than any radio or television outlet, today announced the launch of a five-year landmark multimedia marketing partnership.
Clear Channel Media and Entertainment's 50,000-watt AM powerhouse 710 WOR will become the flagship radio station of the Mets, broadcasting Spring Training, regular season, and post season games as well as the team's pre- and post-game shows. Beyond broadcasting the games on WOR, the multifaceted strategic alliance includes Mets-related programming and promotion through all of Clear Channel's multi-platform media assets, including radio, digital, outdoor and music/entertainment events.
"This breakthrough partnership provides us with the ability to serve our loyal fans and attract a new generation of fans through Clear Channel's massive reach and ability to target key demographics across the New York market," said Mets COO Jeff Wilpon. "Our agreement delivers more promotion of the club to a broader audience than this franchise ever has had before with additional opportunities to advance our efforts to make Citi Field one of the leading sports and entertainment destinations in the country."
"WOR is a powerful, high potential complement to our existing New York brands, and it's an incredible opportunity for us to be able to bring the Mets programming to WOR's lineup and the rest of our New York cluster," said John Hogan, Chairman and CEO, Clear Channel and Entertainment. "We look at this investment not only as an opportunity to establish WOR as a destination to a broader audience, but to also to drive further awareness and growth of the Mets through our unique multiplatform capabilities and programming -- radio, digital, outdoor and live events."
