Understanding the Bible—
What Are the keys?
The Bible itself provides many of the keys to understanding it. Regardless of your background, God's message in the Bible "is not too difficult for you, nor is it far away."—Deuteronomy 30:11.
is not too difficult for you, nor is it far away.
H***e the right attitude. Accept the Bible as God's Word. Be humble, since God opposes the proud. (1 Thessalonians 2:13;James 4:6) However, ***oid blind faith—God wants you to use your "power of reason."—Romans 12:1, 2.
power of reason.
Pray for wisdom. "Do not lean upon your own understanding," the Bible says at Proverbs 3:5. Instead, "keep on asking God" for wisdom in understanding the Bible.—James 1:5.
Do not lean upon your own understanding,
keep on asking God
Be consistent. You will benefit much more from Bible study if you do it regularly rather than sporadically.—Joshua 1:8.
Study by topic. A topical study, in which you analyze what the Bible says about a particular topic or subject, is an effective way to learn what the Scriptures teach. Start with "the beginning lessons," as it were, and then "go forward to more mature(advanced) teaching." (Hebrews 6:1, 2, Easy-to-Read Version) You'll find that you can compare scripture with scripture and learn that various parts of the Bible explain each other, even the parts that are "hard to understand."—2 Peter 3:16
the beginning lessons,
go forward to more mature(advanced) teaching.
hard to understand.
Get help from others. The Bible encourages us to accept help from others who understand the Bible. (Acts 8:30, 31) Jehovah's Witnesses offer a free Bible study program. Like the early Christians, they use Scriptural references to help others discern what the Bible really teaches.—Acts 17:2, 3.
High intellect or education. Jesus' 12 apostles understood the Scriptures and taught them to others, even though the apostles were considered by some to be "unlettered and ordinary."—Acts 4:13.
unlettered and ordinary.
Money. You can learn what the Bible teaches without cost. Jesus told his disciples: "You received free, give free."—Matthew 10:8.
You received free, give free.

Yeah, I've had a couple pm's with Grizzy. After having a non discussion, I agree that his idea is valid. There are those that want to wheel more hardcore & never get the opportunity.
Look at it this way: If you and all your pals have really just gotten into wheeling at a 35", dual locked level but don't know a lot about it or don't have anyone you hang with that has done it, for the most part you will be left out of the small groups that are heading out. So, how would you learn? And a GLFWDA type event is not really structured for this level either. So, you may be willing to pay someone to set up your reservations and spend the time to teach you. Many times the guys who are really experienced don't have the patience to wait for a newbie to struggle. So, Grizzy & company would go with the attitude that they aren't really there to wheel. They've been there, done that. They are there to entertain clients.
Quite frankly it works for me.
Now regarding a run up there, I have some commitments this spring but also have some open time.

Sorry to barge in here folks!
I'm a local in the Soo who has wheeled the area in question several times.
In my opinion the trails there are second to non as Griz stated,I have watched this guy wheel his jeep and to say he is skilled and his jeep works well would be an understatement. It also one of the smaller rigs and is amazing how well it tackles the terrain there.
One would be wise to go on a guided tour with Griz, Curly, Q and others that wheel there often as they were there almost from the beginning and know their shit! They'll make impossible look easy.
It is true that in the past some have indulged in many beverages and "tobaccoes" of sort but that is their business and not anyone elses. This isn't focused on one group or one person at any time.The owners and operaters are not idiots and would never allow anything to get outta hand. Moderation is key and if exceeded or the safety of others is compromised I'm sure Curly or Charlene would intervene! Adults should remain and act as adults.
The fact the terrain is insane should not discourage, if your tires are too small for something there then try harder or go around.
Beating your rigs is your choice and is never caused by the terrain or obstacles. If you think your in trouble stop ,rethink and make a decision to avoid , continue or choose to go around.
As Griz explained earlier this area is hardcore and not for the novice wheeler but I don't think he was saying anyones rigs were not capable or shooting down or questioning anybody's driving skills. If you choose to wheel there it will be an eye opener I guarantee, no-matter how much experience you may have.
Also! Congrats to legal ownership of the property. One would be wise to purchase the 257 acres around and behind for expansion. A call to A. Ross would work wonders. He is in a position to sell cheap right now.

If your still into wheelin', not sure on that part haven't seen ya online in a while.
|February 18th, 2008, 07:35 PM
Thought about it a bit but decided against it. I started a business a year or so ago and it really took off recently. Now I don't seem to have the time for much of anything fun at the moment. Outta town more than I like and I have lots of people to try to keep busy. Hiring 8-10 more people in the spring may help. But I still wheel around my own propertys every other day I can that I'm in town.
I'm swapping my old 61 scout 80 body onto a 2003 (lifted but stock) rubicon chassis that came with 44 boggers on it when I bought it. Someone stole it and rolled it to steal the tires but they got caught before finishing so I bid with insurance company and got it. Super low mileage and complete with all the rubicon options .
And tinkering with putting my little diesel into a VW Iltas with a custom lift kit to handle 38's. I don't think there is any of these lifted and few with a diesel. They are the little Canadian military shitboxes that look like an amphibious jeep of sorts. I bought six in a government auction so I figured I'd safety one for daily bomber and have a trail rig and parts for both.
fill me in on this rumor you speak of !!

Is the property landlocked? or is there access to Hwy 556?
Is the terrain much the same as Charlenes?
Would you know what A. Ross might be asking for the property. Is it actually up for sale?
P.S. Is your new business something we might be interested in?
|February 19th, 2008, 05:02 PM
Property is directly behind and also beside Charlenes. (actually two seperate lots sold as one unit). It has access to the hiway and is not land locked. The fellow selling is a good guy and presently he wants 60 or best for 257 acres that has been moderately logged off and kinda full of skidder trails and ruts. This lot is 1/2" off of Charlene's so I would say the terrain is close to the same.Actually part of the top trails are on this lot by mistake but Charlene knows the guy so I wouldn't think it's a problem! He is willing to make someone a deal. He also has connections to the other joining propertys.
The business is something lots of people are interested in.
Hey there Mr. M , Why not get GLFWDA to make a land purchase. I can set it up for way less than the realestate people here would. Let me know if you are interested and I can tell you what my plans were. Charlene purchased hers in july 07 and without that property it didn't make sense for me to act on my idea. She should buy all the land around and rezone it. There is mega potential there for lots of things including the 4x4n.

Any idea on taxes or zoning of the property? Would hate to get stuck with something the local gov't has objection to recreational usage on. That happened over here in the states and the owners are still in court over it.

Intermittent Problem
Hey Guys,
I bought a focus a year ago to get back and forth from school and it's giving me a problem(s). I'll try to be as detailed as possible.
It started sometime in the summer. The car will start fine and drive without issue for weeks at a time, but then it will stall; usually while idling at a stoplight or in a drive-thru. Once it stalls it's impossible to get it moving again though. I can turn the car over fine but before I get it in 'Drive' the engine will die again. Over and over... Eventually I resorted to starting the car from 'neutral' and revving the engine just right as I put it in drive to get it to move, then it'll buck and jerk like I'm slamming the throttle from fully open to fully closed, and as soon as I let my foot off the throttle it does stall again. But as soon as I park the car and let it cool off, it'll start again and drive with no issue. As you can imagine this has made it impossible for technicians to reproduce, being intermittent and completely unpredictable. I exhausted three separate shops and they're clueless. The dealer couldn't even replicate the problem after having it for a week. So I brought the car home and kind of 'deal with it'.
This last week however something new happened that I strongly believe is connected to the first issue. I went out on Saturday morning and turned the key. Nothing happened. No clicks, no squeel, nothing. My battery is good, I can play the radio fine. AAA guy can't start it so I waited to tow to the shop. Monday morning I call for a tow and the driver turns the key, and to my surprise the car starts fine. The driver hinted it may have been the cold weather or something and I should get a fuel cleaner thing. So I did. The car ran faithfully the rest of the day Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. When I got up Thursday morning the car wouldn't start, same issue. I called AAA and had them tow it to my local shop. Three days later they can't locate the problem. Might be the PCM, might be battery cables, might be the ignition, etc etc. The car started in the shop lot so I drove it home Saturday and parked. Sunday morning my car wouldn't start. Today my car wouldn't start in the morning, tried again in the evening with no success, then before I came here to type this I turned the key. Nothing. Held the throttle down and turned the key. Nothing. Released the throttle and turned the key and held it for a few seconds. "come on, come on" I'm saying to myself and after three seconds of nothing, it starts. So I turn it off, take the key out, put the key back in, turn it, and it starts right up. What's going on here? Any idea what this could be or has anybody experience the same issue?
Put the key in the ignition and rotate from off to run 3 times. You should hear an audible ding.
If you don't hear the ding repeat until you do.
What this will do is reprogram the key, or should.
With aging cars it seems to be becoming more common for the keys to get weak. There is a chip in the key and a RFID receiver around the ignition cylinder. Syncing the signals may help, one may be drifting out of range (frequency) of the other with time.
If that works, you're welcome. If not I'm sure I can come up with more ideas.
Hi Jerry and welcome to the forum.
The warm-engine stall is a very common problem on an older Focus. Two common topics on this forum are IAC valve and cracked PCV hose. Use the forum search box to peruse those topics; you'll see far more verbiage than you have time to read.
@iminhell When I went out this morning the car started up just fine. Next time it won't start I'll try this and post the results here. Thanks
@my_beautious_ZX3 that's actually great to hear; I'll look into this. The stalling was driving me crazy
Ok after a bit of poking around on the stalling issue the IAC Valve seems like a good place to start. Everyone who's had it replaced has it throwing codes left and right though. My Focus hasn't thrown a single code... Well, now that i think of it, the car threw a code back in July for temperature sensor. I pulled it out and cleaned it and it hasn't thrown that code since. Otherwise, no codes.
I'm interested in the PCV Hose though. I had a tuned EG hatch for a while (don't judge me) so I'm familiar with the system in Hondas, but I'm completely new to Ford. Is there a PCV Valve on the Focus? Exactly how is the Crankcase ventilated?
By the way, when I took the car in previously (code for temp sensor) the tech who checked my car said my breather hose has a crack. I asked if that could cause stalling and he thought for a minute, said "I don't see how it could" and told me I'd be better off to go to the scrapyard and find a used one and put it in myself. Truth is, I don't know what a breather hose is, but I'm going to assume it has something to do with crankcase ventilation, right? Is it possibly another name for a PCV Hose? Thanks again.
maybe, but I doubt a mechanic would send you all the way to a junkyard just for that one - hell, you could just about use a one-foot section of garden hose to fix it!
The other one (the PCV tube) has a crazy geometry because it snakes around the engine and thus is more expensive; so, based on his junkyard suggestion, that might have been what he was referring to. A crack in that one can affect idle, but it's harder to locate, inspect, and replace.
If he's gonna do the work for you, you probably have enuf information at this point to take it back to him and discuss the PCV tube & IAC, maybe print out this thread.
For the intermittent no crank, I didn't see if you have a "stick" or an automatic.
A couple months ago I had that issue with another vehicle, and it was the clutch safety switch that was intermittent. Sometimes fine, sometimes nothing sometimes cranked after holding it in the "crank" position for a bit!
Automatics have a different safety switch setup, needs park or neutral to crank so different places to look for an "intermittent".
Oh Boy
After the last post I stalled at a red light downtown so I got a tow to the local Sullivan Tire. The tech at the shop replaced my ignition switch and ran a bunch of tests on the car. Sometimes it started sometimes it didn't. He took the CPU out and put it in the fridge and it wouldn't start when back in the car, then he'd let it sit for a few hours and it would start. Could be luck, could be temperature related, he didn't know. So I picked my car up after three days of guesswork. Well it hasn't given me a problem starting since. (It stalled over an over again in traffic on I95 though, figures)
Today was different though. I was driving at a low speed when all of a sudden, it simply stopped running. The odometer went from a numerical value to a sting of "-----" and I pulled to the side of the road, where I couldn't start. Not a sound, nothing. I called AAA and waited for over an hour. In this time I played with the equipment and found that my car when turned to the "on" position has the headlights work and radio work, but windshield wipers and interior fan are dead. Is this normal? I've never stalled while moving an I've certainly never seen this before.

I'm just saying that this t-shirt is completely stereotyping all Christians, Muslims, and Jews into a category of ignorant, forceful people.

Your art is extending past the printable area(stay away from the seams and where the sleeves begin, your art cannot extend below that)
Back prints are not allowed so that needs to go...

You aren't allowed to draw your own tshirt template you need to use one of woots
Your design has soul! I hope you get a chance to fix those little things !
I will revote! If you do resub, I think it looks better, more powerful on white your thumbnail is very effective and it is on the white....
the design is beautiful, imo. GMV

Step 1: Planning and prep work
The first step is to decide how much of the bathroom to demolish. The existing tub is a standard 30 x 60 in. Whirlpools that size are available, but we decided to replace it with a slightly roomier, 32 x 60-in.model. We recommend that you add this extra 2 in. if you have the space. It'll complicate the project a bit; you'll have to shift the drain about 1 in. (Photo 7) and the tub edge may have to sit on top of the existing flooring. But you'll enjoy the extra width when you're soaking in the tub.
After forming your plan, call your local building department to see which permits you need (you'll almost certainly need an electrical permit) and learn about any special local rules regarding whirlpools. Some inspectors require a separate wall access for servicing the motor and pump, depending on the model you buy.
Open the plumbing access panel behind the tub and test the hot and cold water shutoffs. Turn them off, then turn on the tub faucet and see if any water drips out—old shutoffs often leak. If they leak, turn off the water at the main shutoff, drain the water lines and replace the old shutoffs with ball valve shutoffs (Photos 1 and 2). If your tub doesn't have shutoff valves, add them now. They allow you to turn the water back on to the rest of the house while you're remodeling the tub area. It's easiest if you solder a short stub onto the uphill side of the ball valve to add on to later (Photo 2). After the joints have cooled, close the shutoffs and put tape or caps on the copper stubs to keep out debris.
Next, disconnect the waste and overflow coming out of the old tub. If the P-trap is plastic and in good condition, leave it in place. If it's metal, it's probably old, so replace it with a plastic trap.
Note: Many older houses have galvanized water lines. If they still provide strong water pressure, you can add new galvanized fittings, or make a transition to copper with a special dielectric coupling—a fitting that prevents rapid corrosion in the steel ($5 at a plumbing supply store). However, if the water pressure is low and the inside of the pipe is obstructed with mineral deposits, replace the water lines with new copper, CPVC or PEX lines. With the old tub out of the way, there'll never be a better time.
Step 2: Remove the tub and tile
The next step is demolition. Place a heavy-duty dropcloth over the floor and protect or remove other bathroom fixtures. Check the other side of the tub walls and remove any breakables or pictures—the walls shake during demolition.
Make level and plumb lines around the old tile as guidelines, then cut through the drywall by making multiple passes with a utility knife. This takes longer than using a saw, but you'll avoid hitting hidden wiring and plumbing. Keep your cutting lines within the perimeter of the new tile layout so that the new tile will just lap onto the old drywall and hide the joint. Work your way down the studs with a pry bar and pull off larger sections by hand (Photo 4). You may have to smash through the tile with a hammer to get holes started near the top. If your tile has been set in a 1-in. thick mortar bed, you may have to pry it out piece by piece, cutting reinforcing wire as you go. Wear eye protection to protect yourself from flying chunks of tile, and a dust mask to filter out dust. If the wall insulation is at all moldy or damp, pull that out as well. When the wall thoroughly dries out, brush any moldy areas with a wood preservative.
Clean out the debris, then remove the tub—either by breaking it into pieces or carrying it out whole. To carry it out, first lever it onto its side on an old, upside-down piece of carpet, then transfer it to a dolly or just drag it out on the carpet. Get a strong helper—cast iron tubs weigh 200 to 300 lbs. and can't be moved by one person. If your tub is fiberglass or enameled steel, it will be much lighter. You can either carry it out or cut it into smaller pieces with a reciprocating saw. Keep in mind that you may have to remove more drywall if you take it out whole. This isn't necessarily bad; you may have to remove more drywall anyway to get the new tub in (Photo 11).
Although it's a messy, jarring job, breaking a cast iron tub is often the easiest alternative. Start breaking the tub on the bottom and sides with hard but controlled hits from a sledgehammer (Photo 5). The shards from the enamel and cast iron are razor sharp; eye protection is a must. Lay an old blanket or dropcloth over the area you're breaking to keep the shards from flying. It's also loud; wear earplugs. Break the tub into at least four manageable sections.
Step 3: Rough in the plumbing
Begin the rough-in plumbing work for the whirlpool by laying out the center lines for the drain, the new anti-scald faucet, the tub spout and the shower head (Photo 7). Follow the dimensions in your whirlpool's instruction booklet. Standard minimum heights for the tub spout and faucet are 4 and 12 in. above the overflow level of the tub, but these can be higher if desired. (Note: Think ahead and try to position your spout and faucet to complement your future tile layout.) Install a 2x4 backer for the faucet and set it at the depth shown in the manufacturer's instructions (Photo 8). You may also need to install backers for the shower head and the tub spout.
Assemble your copper pieces and solder them all at once (Photo 9). If you solder directly to the valve, be sure to remove the cartridge first. Don't solder in the tub spout until after you install the tub (Photo 16).
Also, check the P-trap to make sure its center reaches the new drain. There was enough play in ours that we didn't need to extend the drain the extra inch required for the center of the 32-in. tub.
Figure A: Electrical Plan
You'll need at least one dedicated 15-amp GFCI circuit—two if you decide to install an optional heater. In our bath, we installed two "blank front" GFCIs in the linen closet so we could test the circuits without opening the tub access, then ran two separate 14-2 cables to outlets at the pump and heater locations. You also need to run a solid No. 8 copper ground wire from the motor to all metal associated with the tub. Check with your electrician or inspector for wiring details.
Step 4: Mark the tub location
Tub setting and leveling systems vary by brand. Our tub is designed to be set in a bed of mortar and leveled by edge supports screwed to the wall (Photo 10). Some tubs of other brands sit on a leveled subfloor. No matter what method you use, the weight of the tub must be supported by the floor, not the tub rim. It's essential to follow the instructions included with your tub.
Level the top of the edge supports at 21-1/4 in. above the highest point of the subfloor. We actually measured ours from the highest point of the existing tile floor, because the outer edge of our new 32-in. wide tub overlapped the floor tile by 2 in. (The old tub was 30 in. wide.) It was easier to position the tub edge on top of the tile than to remove the tile and set the edge on the subfloor. This technique works best if your existing tile floor is level.
If you want to replace your floor tile, you should finish installing it before you put the tub in. You don't always have to remove the existing tile to do this. If the subfloor and tile are still sound, you can add another layer of tile on top of the old one. Check with a tile store for details.
If the floor under your tub is more than 1/2 in. out of level, take a few minutes to check the floor joists and the structure underneath. In older houses especially, it's not uncommon to find that a floor joist has been cut to make room for plumbing, or has rotted because of water damage. Excessive sagging can also occur because a load bearing wall was mistakenly removed in a previous remodeling.
Follow manufacturer's recommendations for the placement of the electrical outlet (see Figure A).
Step 5: Install the whirlpool
Now test-fit the tub to make sure you can get it in (Photo 11). We discovered that we hadn't cut out enough drywall and had to pull off more at both ends. And you'll often have to remove the toilet to get the tub in. Then install the drain—it's easier to do now, as long as you remember not to rest the tub weight on the drain after you've installed it (Photo 12). Set the drain inside the tub in plumber's putty—make a rope of it, about 1/2 in. in diameter, and stick it on the underside of the drain before you push the drain through the bottom of the tub. Hold the drain steady on the inside of the tub with a special tub drain wrench. The putty should squeeze out all the way around the rim.
Spread mortar underneath the tub, roughly mirroring the outline of the tub base (Photo 13). Seat the tub fully into the mortar, but don't get into the tub or put any weight in it until the mortar hardens.
After the mortar hardens, hook up the waste, overflow and trap (Photo 14), then solder on an extra-long copper stub and cap for the tub spout. Temporarily attach the faucet handle, open the shutoffs in the access panel, turn the water on and check for leaks in the copper lines. Then cut the copper spout to the length in the faucet instructions and run water into the tub. Feel each joint and the seal under the tub for dampness. If you do get any leaks, make sure the slip nuts have been fully hand-tightened, or turn them an extra quarter turn with adjustable pliers. If it still leaks, take the joint apart and check the washer—they occasionally break.
Now fill the tub up to the overflow drain and check it for leaks. Then plug in the tub and turn it on. If nothing happens, look underneath the switch and make sure a small, flexible rubber tube is connected to it. If not, find it and insert it firmly into the hole in the bottom of the switch. Also, make sure the GFCI is set and the circuit breaker is flipped on.
With the tub running, check all the pipes and joints for leaks (Photo 15). They're rare but not unheard of, so check carefully. If you find one, call the manufacturer right away for repair instructions.
The final step is to lock the rim of the tub into place with roofing nails or wafer-head screws (Photo 16), in the manner specified by the tub manufacturer. Now clean up, and get ready to close up the walls and tile.
Buying a Whirlpool
Whirlpool tubs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and are made by a number of national and regional manufacturers. We chose a model that has an integral tiling flange and fits into a standard 5-ft. space. If you have more room, you can install a drop-in model—a whirlpool meant to sit on top of a tiled deck. Check with your local distributors for model and installation instructions. Some tubs designed to fit a standard 5-ft. space have add-on flanges. Avoid these if you can—the add-on flanges won't be as watertight as the integral ones.
In this article, we're installing an American Standard whirlpool. Other manufacturers have somewhat different tub designs and installation techniques. Be sure to check the specific instructions included with the tub you buy.

|Adam Gregerman to Join the Department of Theology and Religious Studies
Philadelphia (March 6, 2013) — Saint Joseph's University has appointed Adam L. Gregerman, Ph.D., a widely respected scholar in Christian-Jewish relations, as assistant director of the Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations and assistant professor of Jewish Studies in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, effective fall 2013. He will collaborate with Philip A. Cunningham, Ph.D., the director of the Institute, in managing its growing activities nationally and internationally.
In announcing the appointment, William Madges, Ph.D., Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, noted that "Adam Gregerman is well known among interreligious scholars as a leading expert in Jewish-Christian relations, both historical and contemporary, who has a deep understanding of biblical interpretation and religious polemics." Dean Madges, himself a specialist on the teachings of Blessed John Paul II on the Catholic Church's relationship to Jews and Judaism, added that he is "delighted to welcome Dr. Gregerman to Philadelphia and to the SJU community."
Since its founding in 1967, the Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations has encouraged and facilitated interfaith dialogue among Philadelphia area Christian and Jewish communities. It was the first such endeavor established at an American Catholic university in response to the Second Vatican Council, and was guided for forty years by the late Donald G. Clifford, S.J.
With Fr. Clifford's retirement in 2008, SJU dramatically expanded the Institute's mission by naming Dr. Cunningham as his successor with a senior faculty appointment in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies. Since then the Institute has become increasingly integrated into the life of the campus community and energetically participates in national and international research about the theologies that have shaped and continue to shape Catholic and Jewish self-understanding in relation to the other.
Dr. Cunningham was enthusiastic to learn of Dr. Gregerman's appointment. "Adam Gregerman possesses the enviable ability to express the richness of Judaism's religious heritage in ways that Christians, especially Catholics, can readily appreciate," he noted. "His presence will greatly benefit both the students of SJU and the scholarly activities of the Institute."
Two members of the Institute's Board of Directors also welcomed the news of Dr. Gregerman's appointment. Charles Kahn, Jr., Hon. Ph.D. Comm. Science, president of Kahn and Company Real Estate, stated, "It is a clear sign of SJU's deep commitment to promoting interreligious understanding." Fellow Board member, David P. Efroymson, Ph.D., added that Dr. Gregerman "comes to SJU with a wealth of both academic and practical experience in Jewish Studies, Jewish-Christian Relations, and in the history of Christian anti-Judaism."
Dr. Gregerman's arrival augments some existing strengths in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies. "All SJU undergraduate students must study a non-Christian religious tradition during their course of study," explained Shawn Krahmer, Ph.D., the department chair. "The addition of Dr. Gregerman to our faculty superbly complements the expertise of our Islamic scholar, Dr. Umeyye Isra Yazicioglu, and also that of Dr. Cunningham, which opens up exciting new possibilities for studying the three Abrahamic traditions."
"I am honored to be asked to join the faculty of Saint Joseph's University," said Dr. Gregerman. "As a scholar of Judaism with a focus on Jewish-Christian relations, I am impressed with the university's commitment to educating its students about other religions, in my case, through a full-time appointment in Jewish Studies. As a Jew, the university's emphasis on service, intellectual rigor, and moral discernment resonates with my own religious and educational traditions."
Dr. Gregerman has written in such journals as Interpretation, Cross Currents, The Journal of Ecumenical Studies, and Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations, and in numerous edited volumes. Most recently, he contributed to The Jewish Annotated New Testament (Oxford University Press) and to Christ Jesus and the Jewish People Today: New Explorations of Theological Interrelationships (Eerdmans and Gregorian & Biblical Presses). A member of the Committee on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and book review editor for the journal Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations, he is a frequent consultant to national and regional Jewish groups on interreligious affairs. He holds degrees from Amherst College (B.A.), Harvard Divinity School (M.T.S.), and Columbia University (Ph.D.), and has studied at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the Jewish Theological Seminary, and Union Theological Seminary.

Hi guys,
I am trying to find a good lock box that will bolt down under the drivers seat.
Purpose is for my concealed piece and CD player faceplate, and other valuables.

I know Tuffy makes one, but its fairly pricy, anyone have something like this? or know of something? or handy enough to make something? looking to spend under $50 if possible. oh and I would prefer it to have a key lock, not combo or finger sensors.
Thanks guys

Swim Teams Kick Off Season
Oct. 19, 2011
The USC men's and women's swim teams, both coming off of top 7 NCAA finishes a season ago, open the 2011-2012 campaign this week, the women at Pac-12 foe Washington State on Friday at 5 p.m. and Saturday (Oct. 21-22) at 11 a.m. in Pullman, Wash., while the men host CSU Bakersfield at noon Saturday (Oct. 22) at McDonald's Swim Stadium.
The women's team, facing the Cougars for the first time, will score each day as separate meets.
The women are led by 2011 NCAA Women's Swimmer of the Year Katinka Hosszu, a senior, as well as fellow returning All-Americans senior Amanda Smith, juniors Haley Anderson and Christel Simms and sophomores Kasey Carlson and Stina Gardell. The Trojans finished third at the Pac-10s and third at the NCAAs, their best NCAA finish since 2003. Senior diver Victoria Ishimatsu, an All-American as a freshman and a sophomore, is also back.
The men return four All-Americans, led by sophomore Vladimir Morozov, the 2011 Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year and a four-time All-American as a freshman. Also back are senior All-American Jeff Daniels and fellow sophomore All-Americans Dimitri Colupaev and Jack Wagner. The men's team finished third at the Pac-10s and seventh at the NCAAs, its highest finish since 2007.
In addition to the returning All-Americans, both squads return a host of experience as the Trojans look to build on their success under sixth-year head coach Dave Salo.
The women's squad complements its six All-Americans with returning 2011 NCAA point scorers Ishimatsu, senior Tanya Krisman and juniors Jessica Schmitt and Yumi So as well as 2011 NCAA participants Meghan Hawthorne, a sophomore, and junior Lindsay Parish. On the men's side, adding to its four returning All-Americans is junior NCAA point scorer Alex Lendrum as well as 2010 All-American Nick Karpov and 2011 NCAA participant Chase Bloch, a freshman.
Trojans in the 2011 Postseason -- Women
USC's third-place finish at the 2011 NCAAs was led by Katinka Hosszu, who became just the second Trojan ever to win three NCAA titles in one season and the first to win the 200y fly en route to five All-American honors. In addition to her NCAA crowns, she also anchored USC's second-place 400y medley relay and led off its eighth-place 800y free relay. Hosszu was the only swimmer to win three titles at this year's NCAAs and her time in the 400y IM (3:59.75) was an NCAA Championships record. Hosszu was also a three-time 2011 Pac-10 champ in the 200y and 400y IM and the 200y fly, which helped her earn the 2011 Pac-10 Swimmer of the Year honor. USC's departed seniors Lyndsay DePaul and Presley Bard went out with a bang, earning five and four All-American honors, respectively.

Bloomberg in Bermuda During Derailment
Mayor Michael Bloomberg was in Bermuda on Sunday when a train derailed in the Bronx, the most recent time that the mayor has been out of town when a major incident in New York City occurred, a person familiar with the matter said.
Mr. Bloomberg, who steps down on Dec. 31 after 12 years at City Hall, was playing golf Sunday at Bermuda's majestic Mid Ocean golf club, a person who spotted the mayor said. The Metro-North Railroad train derailment — killing four people and injuring more than 60 others — occurred at roughly 7:20 a.m. New York time.
Mr. Bloomberg was golfing in the early morning and did not leave the course until roughly 1 p.m, the person said. Bermuda is one hour ahead of New York time.
A spokesman for Mr. Bloomberg, a 71-year-old billionaire businessman, declined to discuss his whereabouts on Sunday. The mayor did not attend any of the briefings at the scene of the accident Sunday, but he visited with the injured at two hospitals after nightfall.
When asked Sunday night by reporters why he wasn't at the scene, Mr. Bloomberg replied, "What can I do? I'm not a professional firefighter or a police officer. There's nothing I can do. What I can do is make sure that the right people from New York City – our police commissioner, our fire commissioner and our emergency management commissioner – are there and that they have all the resources that they want."
"I was briefed a few minutes, probably a half an hour after the train wreck, or the first time that I'd heard about it, and we responded in the ways that I think the city should be proud of our emergency first responders. They did exactly what they are supposed to do."
Mr. Bloomberg offered a robust defense on Monday afternoon when reporters questioned him about his whereabouts before a bill signing ceremony at City Hall.
He described the response from the city's uniformed professionals as "outstanding." He said he had no regrets.
When asked specifically about his whereabouts, the mayor replied, "You just have to check the public schedule for where I am at any point in time. It will certainly tell you anything that's germane to the job."
Mr. Bloomberg said he was in "constant communications" with his commissioners after he learned of the derailment.
"They're supposed to show up and they're supposed to do it. And that's exactly what they did," he said. "And I don't think there's any other city that could have done the kind of job that we did. That's the bottom line. We have the best and they did exactly what we want."
Shortly after winning his first race for City Hall 12 years ago, Mr. Bloomberg said he planned to keep secret any personal trips he takes while in office. He has kept that promise, igniting controversy over the years.
"My personal life is my personal life," Mr. Bloomberg, then the mayor-elect, said in December 2001 when reporters inquired about his out-of-town travel. "I don't think the press should be concerned with the personal life of any of the 250,000 wonderful people that work for this city."
The mayor's demand for secrecy when it comes to his personal out-of-town trips exploded, most memorably, into public view three years ago when Mr. Bloomberg traveled to Bermuda as a massive blizzard barreled toward New York City. The mayor owns a multimillion-dollar mansion on the island.
At a public hearing examining the city's sluggish response to the post-Christmas storm, council members repeatedly referenced the mayor's absence during the lead-up to the storm. Mr. Bloomberg never acknowledged his whereabouts as that storm headed toward the city, but he repeatedly apologized for the administration's handling of the storm.
According to City Hall, when the mayor leaves town, he gives authority to a deputy mayor. But City Hall refuses to say when the mayor leaves town or identify his designee for specific dates.
In January 2011, when questioned about his whereabouts leading up to the snow storm, the mayor said he's in charge "all the time," no matter where in the world he is.
When the Wall Street Journal pointed out that the president lets the nation know where he is at all times, including vacations, the mayor said he believes there's a difference between running the city and the country.
"The problem is the mayor would have no private life, couldn't be with his kids when you have the press following you around all the time. President's job is different," he said, adding that he believes the president is entitled to private time, too.
The mayor said he always has his cell phone and his police detail has "all sorts of communications" devices.
"To the best of my recollection…there's never been a time when you couldn't communicate, get me on the phone, whether I'm traveling or uptown or downtown," he said then.
During the past 12 years, Mr. Bloomberg has regularly taken short personal trips to Bermuda and other locations. He has not taken an extended vacation during his tenure at City Hall.
The train derailment marks the third time this term that the mayor was outside the city during a significant incident. In addition to the 2010 snow storm, when he was in Bermuda, Mr. Bloomberg was in Washington, DC for the White House correspondents' dinner during the May 2010 terrorist attack in Times Square. (Unlike the trips to Bermuda, the correspondents dinner was listed on the mayor's public schedule.)
For the snow storm and the terrorist attack, the mayor rushed back to New York. It was unclear Monday whether the mayor changed his plans and returned sooner than anticipated after the train wreck. But a person who saw him on the golf course said the mayor remained there hours after the train derailed.
Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio declined on Monday to comment on Mr. Bloomberg's absence at the scene of the wreck.
"I'll let the current mayor speak for himself about his choice," Mr. de Blasio said. "For me, it would be, generally speaking, important to be there. I think clearly this was the governor's purview…. (But) my instinct in these things is to be present even if the city is not the lead. Obviously, it's a bit of a case-by-case situation. But in this case I would have been."
Mr. de Blasio said he did not go to the scene on Sunday, in part, out of respect for Mr. Bloomberg. "Mayor Bloomberg is the mayor for the remainder of this month, and we respect that," Mr. de Blasio said, when asked why he wasn't there. "It's his choice to make how he handles the situation. And I think it's important to defer to that. So, that was my thinking."
The mayor-elect said he will employ a different policy on personal vacations than his predecessor – he won't be keeping his whereabouts a secret.
"I think it's important to alert the public and the media broadly to my whereabouts. For security reasons and, you know, other important reasons, it may not be right down to the street address and where the front and back door are," he said. "But broadly speaking, when we recently had the meetings in Puerto Rico and the trip to Puerto Rico, we gave a broad rendition of where we were. That's the way I'd approach it."
Mr. Bloomberg's last public appearance in New York City was on Thursday at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. He did not have any public events on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, and his first event on Monday is not scheduled until 3 p.m.
On Sunday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was at the scene of the accident, responding to reporter questions, and was interviewed throughout the day on television and radio. Metro-North is part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, a state agency.

Concert gives Chamber Singers a new perspective on music
Release Date: 2/28/2014
As a performer, it can be an exciting challenge to tackle a new musical style or vocal technique. Whether you're an amateur or a seasoned professional doesn't really matter. It's a chance to push yourself - to refine your musical skills and to find out more about your vocal capabilities.
But what if you had a chance to do more than just learn that new musical style? What if you could learn under the direction of a performer recognized around the world for his mastery of that style?
In February 2014, students in the Ozarks Chamber Singers had the opportunity to do just that when New York choral conductor, professor and baritone Ira Spaulding came to campus to perform.
Spaulding's voice has been described as "deeply beautiful, rich and expressive," and it has taken him on a career spanning more than 30 years and 60 countries. At Ozarks, he would perform "A Concert of Spirituals," featuring arrangements of African-American spirituals. For four of those arrangements - "Wade in the Water," "Lazarus," "I Wanna Be Ready," and "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" - students in the University Chamber Singers would be joining him on stage.
Concert video filmed and edited by Rebecca Phillips.
The African-American spiritual is a musical style that was totally new for the students, and learning to perform it with an air of authenticity in such a short period of time was going to take some intense practice. To help them prepare, Spaulding held a series of pre-concert choral workshops over the three-day period leading up to the concert, teaching them the subtleties of that genre.
"I have to say that it was very challenging for me to adapt to a musical style that I'm not used to performing, but Ira Spaulding made it a great pleasure," said Mollie Palmer, a senior Early Childhood Education major from Benton, Ark. "He treated us all like wonderfully talented singers and corrected our mistakes in endlessly creative ways that kept us laughing. I was amazed by how much we were able to accomplish in just three days of working with him."
"Those who attended the pre-concert choral workshops - both participants and observers - were struck with his prowess as a teacher and marveled at the sound he was quickly able to elicit from a group composed mainly of non-music majors," said Dr. Sharon Gorman, Walton Professor of Music and University Organist. "He also did extra work with the student soloists and was able to help them make immediate and striking improvements to their singing in a very short time."
Kimberly Peters, a junior music major from Hagarville, Ark., was among the soloists who worked one-on-one with Spaulding.
"Because Spirituals weren't what we were used to singing, he taught us all about the style of African-American songs, starting from the rhythm (he made us dance!) and critiquing all the way down to the grammar (we sang 'Chillen' instead of 'Children!')," Peters said. "He completely transformed our voices to more confident, fuller sounding voices."
Gorman said that the sense of enthusiasm and confidence Spaulding instilled in the students caused many of them realize, for maybe the first time, that even though they attend a small college, they are capable of making high-quality music.
"[Ira] made them aware of their capabilities and excited about improving their skills," she said. "However much I may tell them these things, somehow having a guest musician say it makes a much more significant impact. A couple of the students are even talking about grad school in music now."
One of those students is Meredith Childre, a sophomore from Wylie, Texas, who is majoring in music.
"The performance with Ira Spaulding was spectacular to say the very least, and for me, it was a turning point in my educational career," Childre said. "Ira has the strangest way of making you feel so comfortable around him, even if you just met him a few minutes ago. He brought out a special sound in all of us that we didn't know we had. It was during his exhilarating rehearsals and breath-taking performance that I was inspired to pursue vocal performance at both Ira and Dr. Gorman's alma mater, Westminster Choir College."
While the workshops were focused on technique and mastery of the musical style, many of the students felt the experience had taught them more than simply how to perform the music.
"In spending those few days with Ira, we experienced what true music is, especially Negro Spirituals. Music isn't just entertainment. Music is putting yourself in the most vulnerable state to tell the story of love, hate, hope, misfortune, and life," Childre explained. "Working with Ira changed my perspective of music and what I could accomplish with my gift of song. I am so grateful that he conducted this group of fantastic musicians. Before he came here, Ira was just a friend of Dr. Gorman's, but by the time he left, he became a teacher, mentor, friend, and a part of our small family."
Peters echoed that thought. "I was so enlightened by his knowledge in the performance arts!" she exclaimed. "I know that first day we all stood attentive with ears open, hanging on his every word. Honestly, I believe we all expected him to come in and critique EVERYTHING we had already worked on in our pieces. However, Ira was very pleasantly surprised and excited with how progressed we already were! (Dr. Gorman does a wonderful job!) We were off to a good start, and the techniques and exercises Ira led us in were exciting and different from what we were used to."
The intense preparations paid off when the group took the stage with Spaulding for the concert. Raymond Munger Memorial chapel rang out with the sounds of music that had carried countless individuals through some very dark days. "A week later the singers are still buzzing over the experience," said Gorman. "One faculty member in attendance later emailed a thank you to me for arranging this concert, saying 'Mr. Spaulding stole my heart.'"
For Gorman, the experience was a particularly satisfying one. Not only were her students able to work under the direction of a world-renowned musician, it was also a chance for her to reunite with her former colleague. "I was his accompanist when we were undergrads at Westminster Choir College and to be able to collaborate with him 37 years later as mature musicians with life experience was an absolute delight," she said.
"I am honestly so amazed at how much our choir became, not separate sections, but one beautiful sounding choir," Peters said afterwards. "I'm so blessed to have gotten to perform with such a talented and experienced individual, and I'm glad we received a history lesson along the way! I really hope he can come back again sometime!"

Arsène Wenger believes that 'sin bins' could be effective in football.
Sports such as rugby and ice hockey already operate a system in which players who commit a yellow-card offence spend 10 minutes on the sidelines before returning to the action.
Wenger is wary of interrupting the flow of a football match but he believes the idea of penalising players immediately has some merit.
"Overall, sin bins could work," he said.
"You have to be a bit cautious about the interruption of the game but the advantage would be that it would punish the team on the day.
"Sometimes you think when a guy gets a second yellow card and is suspended for the next game, that can even be a disadvantage for you because the next game can be against a team who fights with you for a position.
"It is the immediate punishment that is very interesting in that case, and that the team is punished on the day. I think giving an advantage back to the team who have been disadvantaged is a good thing."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

So if you haven't read my first post, I'm attempting to make a basic Iron Man armor for the regular Halloween drunkathon we host every year at our house.
After reading through tons of useful information on this site, I decided to go with Sintra, and try my hand at it. Starting off was rough as I was using a Heat Gun (not very good), and have now started using the boiling water method which works amazingly good, even if I have to ruin a nice big cooking pot.
I'm not going for picture-replica quality by any means right now, just kinda seeing what I can easily and quickly do with the Sintra material, and putting together something that will resemble Iron Man armor before Halloween. More than likely, the "armor" part of my costume will probably look like old-Iron Man basic getup armor, as seen in the picture here:
Although, once I piece together the helmet, I hope to have it somewhat closely resemble that of the upcoming movie helm/mask (provided I have the time and Sintra skills to do so.
So anyways, my first 3 pieces of Sintra I have put together as a shoe/boot covering. Once I figure out the best scratch-proof method of painting this stuff, it will have a metallic red shine like the movie armor, and will be riveted together at the joints and be flexible like a shoe would. I know it's prolly basic and crappy, but it's a start! :D
Here's a thread about the movie trailer with some good pics of the movie armor: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showt...light=Iron Man
