Track stars have revealed the secret to developing running speed. Most athletes simply run out of breath long before they need to stop running, because they aren't able to get the oxygen into their muscles fast enough. By taking deep breaths, and building up the supply of oxygen in your blood, you can prevent muscle cramps. As lactic acid builds up, and muscle fatigue sets in, untrained players think they've reached their limit.
Track teams, and well-coached basketball and football teams for that matter, train by sprinting short distances, over and over. It's not fun, but it works. After a few months of training, the lungs begin to process oxygen more efficiently, and players find that they can run long distances non-stop, or sprint for a longer period of time. University of Southern Indiana football conference may encourage student-athletes to apply via early decision. Students who are considering applying via early decision should be aware of the rules and obligations that this commitment entails. Beyond consideration for Florida Gulf Coast University sports, you may think about Hartwick College course selection for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Tanaka is a well-known brand in the area of power equipment. Ever since they started as a business in Japan by their founder Takashi Tanaka, they have carved a niche in every field they have stepped into. Their weed eaters (since their entry in the 1980s) are known for their power and endurance.
There are many great string trimmers you can find under their name, and it is needless to that they have also evolved with the time in order to meet the growing expectations of the customers and the industry standards. If you are someone involved with garden tools, then you definitely don't need any introduction to them.
What do you need?
With their wide range of products, they can meet any customers' expectation. But it is important to note that they are particularly famous for the gas weed eaters which are second to none in terms of power. Though as weed eaters are a little noisier and definitely not the clean ones, you might still find them very useful when you have a medium to large sized land.
The size of the land is what decides the trimmer you need. So we would say if you own a small area of land then it is better to be content with the less powerful cordless string trimmers. Tanaka's powerful weed eaters will not be put to maximum use there. But if you have a large sized land waiting to be trimmed then these weed wackers can undoubtedly be used to good effectiveness.
The following are the best Tanaka Weed Trimmers you can find in the industry. Depending on your needs you can choose any one to serve your backyard.
Tanaka TBC-255SFK Commercial Grade Gas Powered Gas Trimmer
This is a combo kit and includes a stick edger, and a pole saw in addition to the grass trimmer. It comes with a 23 cc, 1-1/3 HP pure fire low emission 2 stroke engine. It should be noted that the engine is of commercial grade. There is S start the enables the user to start the equipment easier up to 50%.
There is a no brainer quick load trimmer head which makes things easier and save time too. The combo kit content includes an inch edger blade and a 10-inch Oregon bar and chain. The trimmer is CARB compliant, so it is usable in all states.

Tanaka TCG31EBSLP Gas Trimmer
This gas trimmer also uses the pure fire technology so that it doesn't have to compromise on power in order to meet the emission levels. The engine that comes along is a powerful 30.8 cc, 1.4 HP commercial grade 2 stroke engine.
The heavy duty anti-vibration system reduces the vibration levels to a great extent and improves the user comfort in a big way. The steel shaft is well designed for proper transfer of power from the engine to the cutting head. The main feature of this equipment is that it is extremely cheap when compared to other as string trimmers in the market.

Tanaka TBC-260PFL Extended Reach Trimmer
This is a trimmer that is designed for tall people. This comes with a 23.9 cc, 1.3 HP, 2-stroke engine that is engineered to be more powerful than some hybrid 4-stroke engine that is out there. The 60'' solid steel shaft provides uniform transfer of power from the engine to the cutting head.
Another feature is the 5'' semi-automatic head which is simple enough but holds up to 25 feet length of cutting line. There are other attachments and blades that can be bought separately to increase the versatility of the equipment.

Tanaka Commercial Grade Gas Powered Straight Shaft Grass Trimmer
The engine here is a 25 cc, 1.3 HP commercial grade 2-stroke engine that utilizes the pure fire emission technology to reduce the emissions from the weed trimmer. This is aimed towards people who are tall (6'5"). The light weight of the machine (12.7 lbs) makes it easier for the user to handle it.
The semi-automatic header which we have mentioned in the other models is also available here. There is also a 7-year warranty from Tanaka, which supports the device in case of any rare misbehavior. Even though it is upgraded to a few models, the price remains affordable.

I used this lotion for two years and by the end, I was using it not only for hands but for my heels and body as well. It has a really nice smell, it moisturises skin A LOT and it doesn't leave any traces on the skin. Would totally recommend it. Will by it for myself, but in smaller version as I got tired of the smell in the end :)

Today we are going to look at a few things that will improve the results you get from Bob add-on.
HD/SD & Link Selection Dialog
There are now two ways you can choose a stream for a Movie or TV Show in Bob. Here's how they work and the Pros and Cons of each method.
The HD/SD option is the default option when choosing a Movie or TV Show. If you have used Bob before, you will know that you get two options when picking a Movie or Show. You either get the choice of HD or SD.
HD Option – Selecting HD will make the Scrapers search for High-Quality links first such as 720p or 1080p, if available. If the scrapers cannot find an HD link then it will search for and play a lower quality stream.
SD Option – As with the HD option, selecting SD will make the scrapers search for and play an SD link. Choosing SD for older movies can produce faster results when searching for a stream.
Generally, you will only see the option of either HD or SD but in some cases like New Releases, for example, a Custom Link may be added as well. This is a link available on sites not scraped by NaN Scrapers.
Advantages of HD/SD
The advantages of using the default HD/SD option are that the add-on will look for the first working link for the quality you have chosen and play it automatically for you.
Disadvantages of HD/SD
Disadvantages of this method are that you cannot see which links are being found for your Movie/Show or from which scrapers. Meaning, if you were to get the Unplayable Stream message you would not know which scraper failed or if the content is even producing any results.
Link Selection Dialog
The new Link Selection Dialog will show you which scrapers have found links for the Movie or Show you have selected. It will also show you the quality of the stream. Link Selection will show all HD and SD links that NaN Scrapers have found for your Movie or Show.
By default, the Link Selection Dialog is disabled but can easily be enabled in Bob Settings.
Advantages Of Using Link Selection Dialog
The advantages of using the new Link Selection Dialog are that you get to see the links and can choose the best stream for you. Links are also temporarily cached in the database for a short period of time so if you wanted to watch a Movie again, you could click on it and the list of links would instantly show. So there is no waiting for it to scrape. The same caching is also used for HD/SD links.
Disadvantages Of Using Selection Dialog
The disadvantages of using the new selection dialog are that currently, the selection dialog does not act the same way as the HD/SD option does. HD/SD filters out the dead links which at the moment the selection dialog does not. You get a full list of all of the available links whether they are working links or not.
Openload & Video.me Links
Openload and Video.me are two of the more popular uploading sites that people use to upload content to. Due to their popularity within Kodi, the two sites have implemented pairing systems on their sites. This means whenever you select an Openload link or Video.me link you will get a pop-up message asking you to go to their sites and pair your device. Once you do pair with them then you can enjoy content from Openload and Video.me for up to 4 hours before you have to pair again.
It's very easy to pair and only takes a few seconds. You can go to their sites from your phone (as long as it is on the same Wi-Fi connection as your box) and pair that way and the content you have chosen on your box will automatically play.
When using Bob Selection Dialog you will see the Openload links and The Video.me links show as Selection Dialog shows all links. The HD/SD option though will filter out these two sources and go to the first working that does not require a pair. Sometimes, however, Openload or The Video.me are the only two sources that have good versions or a movie or show you want to watch so in that case you can enable them to show from Bob Settings and the HD/SD options will give you the pairing message if it finds a link from one of those sources.
Using Alluc To Get More Sources
Alluc is an excellent online search engine for streams and Bob add-on now has integration with Alluc which you can use to almost double the number of links Bob already gives you for a Movie or Show.
Without Alluc Account Enabled
With Alluc Account Enabled
Alluc does require you to sign up to their site for you to be able to use this source within Bob addon but sign ups are free and don't take long at all.
Once you have signed up for free to alluc you can then enter your details into the alluc provider from Bob Settings and you will be able to get a lot more links from your movies or shows.
You can also set the max amount of links you want it to show. The default is set to 20 but can go as high as 200.
Advantages Of Using Alluc
The one major advantage of using Alluc is the massive improvement in the amount of sources you are given for content. You also find a lot more 1080p quality links.
Disadvantages Of Using Alluc
The disadvantages are that even though you get a lot more links, not all of them are guaranteed to work and sometimes you can find that some content has been mislabelled by the uploader, for example, a 1080p link may end up being 720p or a link labelled HD may actually be an HD-CAM or HD-TS.
Using Search
The Search feature in Bob is one of the best tools you can use. It will tell you which section of the addon has the content your looking for.
Top Tip:- When using search try to put the full name of the Movie, Show or Actor/Actress your looking for.
Adding one word can result in a huge list of search results.
Hopefully, this has been a helpful guide and will dramatically improve your viewing experience with the Bob Addon.
If you have any questions about Bob or would just like to say hello then why not head over to the Bob Support forum.

The Role of The Voice in the Wilderness , Preparing the way for the Messiah was played by John the Baptist in Bible Prophecy according to the Bible and Christians? But as we all know The Jews did not recognize Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah then and is Currently awaiting the Arrival of the Jewish Messiah.
The Role of John the Baptist in the Bible was to prepare the way for the Messiah and to Point out the Jewish Messiah when He arrived, and he did, He Pointed to Jesus Christ.
Mat 3:1-3 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Luke 3:15-16 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
But as we know The Jews did not acknowledge both John the Baptist to be the Voice in the Wilderness or Jesus Christ to be the Messiah , and is currently awaiting the arrival of the Jewish Messiah , to Arrange the Peace Agreement between them and the World and give them the approval to build their 3rd Jewish Temple on Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
If you read any of my Previous Articles , you would have picked up that I may have found the Identity of the Coming Jewish Messiah and that he is currently playing another role at this stage but have been Pointed out to possibly become the Jewish Messiah, the Jews are currently waiting for!
Somebody have to Point too the Coming Jewish Messiah and show him to the World to be the one to arrange this long awaited Peace Agreement!
Read my article . Jared Kushner , The Son to Watch!
Click Here to Read this Article
Well President Trump has done this action according to me, he Pointed out and prepared the way for the coming Jewish Messiah, read the following article Published in 2017!
President Trump to Jerad Kushner:
If you can't make Mideast peace, no one can!
Donald Trump praised his Jewish son-in-law Jared Kushner as a potential Middle East peacemaker on Thursday night, telling a black-tie event on the eve of his inauguration in Washington, DC that if the task proves too much for the 36-year-old, it is impossible.
'If you can't produce peace in the Middle East, nobody can," Trump told Kushner, who has been tapped as a senior adviser to the new president. "All my life I've been hearing that's the toughest deal to make, but I have a feeling Jared is going to do a great job."
President Trump also told campaign donors at the event that he expected to claim another four years in office in 2020, thanks to the successes that his first term would rack up.
"The next time we're going to win the old-fashioned way," because of how he and his cabinet will have performed, he said.
Meanwhile, Israel's National Infrastructure Minister Yuval Steinitz told Army Radio on Friday that he hoped the Trump administration would uphold the new president's campaign pledge to relocate the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a politically charged move that has caused outrage among Palestinians who see the part of the city as their future capital.
President Trump confirmed earlier this week that he intends to use Kushner to try to broker an elusive peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.
Asked by Bild precisely what role Kushner would play, he replied: "You know what? Jared is such a good lad, he will secure an Israel deal which no one else has managed to get. You know, he's a natural talent, he is the top, he is a natural talent. You know what I'm talking about — a natural talent. He has an innate ability to make deals, everyone likes him."
His comments came days after Trump named Kushner as a senior adviser in the upcoming administration, apparently skirting anti-nepotism regulations.
"Jared has been a tremendous asset and trusted adviser throughout the campaign and transition and I am proud to have him in a key leadership role in my administration," Trump said at the time, calling him "instrumental in formulating and executing the strategy" behind his election victory.
Both Israel and Palestine confirmed they will work with Jerad to try and make this Possible!
NOTE . That "THE" Person that Arranges this Peace Agreement in the Middle East will be Crowned as the Jewish Messiah by Israel!
What will be the demands to become the Jewish Messiah?
1. He has to be Jewish! Jared Kushner is Jewish!
2. He have to be in a authority Position! Jared Kushner is the Right Hand man of the Most Powerful Man in the World the President of the USA.
3. He have to be in a Peace Making Position! Jared Kushner has bean appointed as the Peace Broker for the Middle East in The USA.
4. He has to be a descendant from the Bloodline of King David. We could not yet confirm this to date ! but are in the process too!
5. He has to be a Firm Fighter to Arrange this Peace Agreement. This we all know to be Jerad's Strong Point!
At this Time I can not say that Jerad Kushner, the Son in Law of President Trump of USA is the Jewish Messiah or not ! But he fits this Role like a glove , Just one finger not in Place Yet.
We all Know that the Jewish Messiah will become the Antichrist , 3 and half Years into the 7 Year Peace Agreement !
Is Jerad Kushner the Jewish Messiah and later on TO Become the Antichrist?
IF he will fit the Glove as the Jewish Messiah , He will be the Antichrist!
Everybody in the World Knows that Jared's Biggest Trophy to Date is the ownership if the 666 Building , 666 5th Ave , Manhattan , NY and this Building is the Head Office of Lucent Technologies the creator of the RFID 666 Chip.
Nobody in History so far fitted this role as Jewish Messiah and Antichrist more perfect as Jerad Kushner does!
All I still have to confirm , is that Jerad Kushner (His Real Surname Berkowitz) is a Bloodline descendant of King David !
This article headlined Dec 2016 , Some Rabbis in Israel Believe Trump Could Be Messiah or His Forerunner , The Voice in the Wilderness, End Times Author Says!
We Know that President Trump is not the Jewish Messiah , and that he has another important role to Play in God's End Time Prophetic Time Clock of Israel.
As mentioned in My Article Donald Trump and America in Bible Prophecy
Click Here to Read this Article
Yes, Jerad Kushner may be the Jewish Messiah to arrange the Long awaited Peace Agreement in Israel and even arrange the approval of the Building of the 3rd Jewish Temple on Temple Mount in Jerusalem! And Donald Trump May be His front runner to Point to Him becoming the Jewish Messiah, Israel is waiting for.
But he is not The One that will take the sin from this world or Baptize in the Holy Spirit, We all know Jesus Christ was the Real messiah , we also know that the Jewish Messiah that will come will become the Antichrist the Bible Prophecy!
Could President Trump be the Voice in the Wilderness, to prepare the way for the Jewish Messiah? we will only know this when President Trump's son in Law Jerad Kushner arranges the Peace agreement for Israel and gives them approval to Build the 3rd Jewish temple.

When you're little, you have many ideas on what you want to be when you grow up. For me, I'm doing what I've always dreamed of doing - being on the radio! Being an on-air personality is the dream. We get to play awesome music, have some fun, talk about people and situations and interact with you. I get made fun of for this all the time, but when you get to know me you'll learn that I don't watch movies. Kind of ironic when you think about it because I'm in the entertainment business, but that doesn't mean I don't keep up with the movies, I just don't go to the theaters and very seldom do I watch them on TV. So it's hard for me to quote movie lines and laugh with some people when they refer to a movie, but I'm OK with that! When I'm not on the air, I'm hanging with my family and just having fun in East Texas! Thanks for listening each weekday and logging in online or connecting via your phone to listen to the station, I appreciate it! If you ever have a question call me on the studio line, just send me an email, or post on our Facebook!

[windows] Magic Number: 30 Billion — John Dvorak estimates the number of times Windows crashes in a year. '…the majority of legacy systems out there run Windows 98 with some Windows 95 holdouts and a few operating on Windows Me. These machines bomb more than XP — that's for sure. Windows 98 represents about 25 percent of the market at this point. It has to crash 10 to 20 percent more often than XP. I think that when we put all the numbers together, we can estimate that there are a minimum of 30 billion Windows system crashes a year. To give you an idea of how ridiculous that number is, here are few comparisons. Thirty billion is the same as the estimated number of Earth-like planets in the Milky Way … '

[war] "If We Run Out of Batteries, This War is Screwed." — Wired Article on the US Army's creation of a "tactical" internet during the War in Iraq …
'The history of warfare is marked by periodic leaps in technology – the triumph of the longbow at Crécy, in 1346; the first decisive use of air power, in World War I; the terrifying destructiveness of nuclear weapons at Hiroshima, in 1945. And now this: a dazzling array of technology that signals the arrival of digital warfare. What we saw in Gulf War II was a new age of fighting that combined precision weapons, unprecedented surveillance of the enemy, agile ground forces, and – above all – a real-time communications network that kept the far-flung operation connected minute by minute. Welcome to the so-called revolution in military affairs…'

[books] Tomorrow's Man — profile of William Gibson …
'"…I find myself thinking sometimes that there isn't anything other than the impact of technology on society – possibly that has been more significant historically than any sort of political thought, in terms of bringing us to where we are now." Gibson chooses a contemporary example: his friend's camera-phone. "I get these pictures every once in a while – no explanation – and it's just so cool, and it's such an intimate thing. The view down an airport corridor, or something that struck him as funny." But to every silver lining there is a cloud. "If that becomes very common," he points out, "that'll change the texture of life. You'd lose things. Someone telling you about their new girlfriend, for instance, and you don't meet her for six months, so you have this picture in your head of her, and then you meet her … and that won't be happening because he'll have emailed the photograph right away. Apparently small things like that have a huge cumulative effect on how people experience reality."'

[google] How Google Grows…and Grows…and Grows — profile of Google. '…the difference between 0.3 seconds and 0.2 seconds is pretty profound. Most searches on Google actually take less than 0.2 seconds. That extra tenth of a second is all about the outliers: queries crammed with unrelated words or with words that are close in meaning. The outliers can take half a second to resolve — and Google believes that users' productivity begins to wane after 0.2 seconds. So its engineers find ways to store ever-more-arcane Web-text snippets on its servers, saving the engine the time it takes to seek out phrases when a query is made. And it's why, most of the time, the Google home page contains exactly 37 words. "We count bytes," says Google Fellow Urs Holzle, who is on leave from the University of California at Santa Barbara. "We count them because our users have modems, so it costs them to download our pages."'

Whether the chip survives doesn't matter, as long as there's time enough to boot up, launch a benchmark app, and capture a digital trophy of your accomplishment. Purchased in bulk from chemical or medical suppliers, liquid nitrogen can drop a CPU's temperature below -310 degrees Fahrenheit – though, after being subjected to that kind of cold, the machine's other components won't have much life left in them, either. Still, the message boards at Futuremark.com overflow with legends and advice about handling liquid nitro.

[web] How the Wayback Machine Works — another interview with Brewster Kahle about how the Wayback Machine works … [via Bowblog]
'Having the capital cost of equipment drop to effectively zero allows you to think bigger. You start thinking about the whole thing. For instance, the gutsy maneuver of saying "let's index it all," which was the breakthrough of Altavista. Altavista in 1995 was an astonishing achievement, not because of the hardware — yes, that was interesting and important from a technical perspective — but because of the mindset. "Let's go index every document in the world." And once you have that sort of mindset, you can get really far. So if all books are 20 TBs, and 20 TBs are $80,000, that's the Library of Congress. Then something big has changed. All music? It's tiny. It looks like there're only one million records that have been produced over the last century. That's tiny. All movies? All theatrical releases have been estimated at 100,000, and most of those from India. If you take all the rest of ephemeral films, that's on the order of a couple hundred thousand. It's just not that big. It allows you to start thinking about the whole thing.'

"From the first day you interact with Aibo it will become your companion," the packaging promised, adding that if you feed it, it will yelp in delight, if you put it to bed, it will sleep, etc. As we strung it up off the light fitting to see if it would cry, and deprived it of food and light and finally got bored with its constant yapping and turned it off completely and put it in a box, I pondered the same questions the scientists consider. The good news was that we gave Aibo perfect motive to rise up and enslave the Ronsons, and it didn't. But did it offer a thrilling window into tomorrow's world? No. Maybe it was our fault; maybe we didn't give it an opportunity to flourish and learn and grow.'

Not only does it index more of the web than any of its competitors, offering makeshift translations of pages between languages – it remembers, too. The company archives millions of web pages on its own computers, giving them a life beyond their creators, which provides another potential motive for the Chinese block: even if the computer hosting a Falun Gong website is seized and destroyed, the page persists in Google's collective memory. In 2001, Google bought the rights to thousands of old postings on the Usenet system on online message boards. They are now catalogued on its database, and your past obsessions with Dungeons and Dragons or ornithology cannot be erased'

It's been four years since the search engine came online, and in those years, while the whole industry has crumbled around it, Google, somehow, has only became bigger, better and more popular. To someone like Brandt, someone not unfriendly to conspiracy theories and wary of the "power structure," the Web according to Google must be a hard thing to bear. And bizarre as it may seem to go after a service as loved as Google is, on evidence as thin as Brandt offers, isn't it more surprising that it's taken this long for someone to snap up the google-watch.org domain name? Google seems indomitable, and Brandt's fight is, certainly, doomed from the start. But perhaps it's time someone took on Google — even if just for the fun of it.'

[web] PageRank: Google's Original Sin — interesting view of what's wrong with Google. '… PageRank drives Google's monthly crawl, such that sites with higher PageRank get crawled earlier, faster, and deeper than sites with low PageRank. For a large site with an average-to-low PageRank, this is a major obstacle. If your pages don't get crawled, they won't get indexed. If they don't get indexed in Google, people won't know about them. If people don't know about them, then there's no point in maintaining a website. Google starts over again on every site for every 28-day cycle, so the missing pages stand an excellent chance of getting missed on the next cycle also. In short, PageRank is the soul and essence of Google, on both the all-important crawl and the all-important rankings.' [Kinda Related: Googlegate]

We shift for ourselves rather well for moderate periods of time when the infrastructure of state paternalism lets us down and the life-giving commercial heartbeat flatlines. People are remarkably good at solving problems, both individually and in small ad-hoc groups.

In Hebrew the name Ruth means companion, or friend, or a vision of beauty.
A name that's been floating around in my head a lot lately, a lot more than usual, and I just can't seem to shake this name, to shake her face from the images in my mind. And I'm wondering where she is right now? What she is doing? Is she gardening with the other widows? Is she taking care of her many children? Is she picking mangos and placing them into hands of complete strangers, the way she did with me? Is she even still alive? Or is she up in heaven, dancing on golden streets with Jesus? These question plague me, because deep down I know I may never know the answers.
In these moments and small memories, I'm seeing how much this little old widow impacted my life. In the very limited time I spent with her, she allowed me to see myself in a different light, in a loving light. She looked at me like I was wanted, like I was needed. Me, a complete stranger. She made me feel at home in the palm of her hands. Her rough hands holding tightly to mine, dragging me along a path to a garden and to houses and to mango trees. All the while chatting away in a language I yearned to understand. And I remember her uttering a singe phrase and clinging tightly to my hand. I smiled at her and nodded pretending like I understood. And the pastor we were with, turned and said "Cami, do you understand what she just told you?" I laughed and said "No."
And the pastor looked between me and Ruth and smiled and said "She said 'in you daughter, I see the radiance of Christ."
I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. In no way did I ever feel like I was radiating Christ, I constantly felt dirty and grimy, like I was constantly in the way. And yet even in those dirty, disgusting, selfish moments, God broke through and shed his light onto the face of a widow.
And I just hope I'm still radiating.I hope that this bright light hasn't burnt out in the whirlwind of this world and of this life. That even if it has dulled, it's still burning and shining through in all my moments. That Christ is being radiated from my life.
Why am I sharing this story?
Because my heart hurts, it aches to know where Ruth is, how her health is, how her children are, how her garden is? It yearns to ask these question, to hold the worn hands of my companion, my friend, this vision of beauty in an otherwise dim hard ugly moment of my life.
But not only that. It's because I think we often forget how much we can impact the lives around us. It's been two years and I still remember the words Ruth spoke into my life. I still remember the feel of her overworked hands in my delicate ones. I remember her laughter and her brown eyes, and the way her hair was wrapped up in her conga. I can't forget her.
Recently in small groups we were talking about the Healing at Bethesda. And this got me thinking a lot about how graceful Jesus is. Jesus sought out this crippled man and asked him if he wanted to be healed and then healed him. He spoke words into his life that caused this man to pick up his mat and walk. Was this man worthy of healing, no not really. He turned around and betrayed Jesus, like Judas, to the Jewish leaders. And yet look at HIS grace. He heals him anyway, evening knowing that this once crippled man will use this gift, this healing of his legs to walk right to the leaders and tell them it was Jesus!
Jesus seriously blows my mind!
You see I started comparing this story to my own life. I was, am, and sometimes I know will continue to be this invalid man by the pool, waiting for someone to pick me up and take me where I need to go. That I am unworthy of the healing being offered, because in my heart I know, just like the crippled man, that I will betray Jesus again. And it hurts.
But I've seen this story in John take root in my life. With Ruth. At the time of meeting Ruth I was battling, I was sick of everything I was. And then words were spoken into my life that caused healing in my heart and continue to heal me every day since then. And I believe that Jesus reached through Ruth to me. And How do you tell a woman 8000 miles away that Jesus has used her, continues to use her. That in her I see the radiance of Christ. Every single day of my life.
You see like in John, the man couldn't find anyone to lift him into the pool, and I couldn't find anyone to fulfill the emptiness I kept seeing in my worthlessness. But Jesus, met the man where he was at, and Ruth grabbed my hand and pulled me back to Christ all the way in Tanzania.
Because even though the man had no way to get to Jesus. Jesus could get to him. And in that time in my life and even now, there are days I just can't seem to get there. Can't seem to reach Him. But even thought I can't get to Jesus, He can always, always get to me. He never fails, never gives up.
And lately I've been feeling like I just don't belong in this place. I feel lonesome, not alone, just lonesome. And Jesus keeps reaching out and tugging me along, reminding me what I'm here for, what my life is for.
I was not made to live a luxurious life, to have the fancy cars and clothes and money. I was made to walk barefoot on unknown roads, to meet people where they are, just like Him. I was made to follow in His footsteps, to live a life set apart.
And it's so not easy. The desires of this world often overtake me. I stress, I panic, I anguish. And yet He is here walking with me. And I hear the words in Sakuma in my head and then translated into English. "In you daughter I see the radiance of Christ."
I just hope that I can continue to live out the words that Ruth saw. That I can continue to meet people where they are and speak words of love, encouragement, and Jesus into their lives. That regardless of how bad I think things are, Jesus makes it better.
That I continue to stretch the limits of my faith, knowing that Jesus is pulling me along, that I'm going to be just fine and wherever He decides to take me and whoever He places in front of me, I will reach out in love no matter what. I will be slow to anger and abounding in love.
My hope is that this radiance that Ruth saw, seeps into every motion and ever fiber of my being. That wherever Ruth is, she will see this radiance in herself and others will see it to. We never know how we impact the people around us, and we never know how the people around impacts us.
But isn't it such a beautiful story when Jesus reaches down and meet us where we're at.
Sitting in Awe of the Wonders of His Love,
HIS and yours,

Visit Livingston - Best of Livingston
Livingston is a township in Essex County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 29,366, reflecting an increase of 1,975 (+7.2%) from the 27,391 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 782 (+2.9%) from the 26,609 counted in the 1990 Census. Livingston was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 5, 1813, from portions of Caldwell Township (now Fairfield Township) and Springfield Township (now in Union County, New Jersey). Portions of the township were taken to form Fairmount (March 11, 1862, now part of West Orange) and Roseland (March 10, 1908). The township was named for William Livingston, the first Governor of New Jersey; his family's coat of arms serves as the township's seal.Wikipedia

Why God Loved and Saved Me
Not for what I've done,
Not for what I merit,
But for His own reason.
He saved me,
Not because I sought him,
Not because I wanted,
But because he loved me.
But God, who is rich in mercy,
because of His great love that He had for us,
made us alive with the Messiah
even though we were dead in trespasses.
You are saved by grace!
--Ephesians 2:4-5 HCSB

I tried to do a century this week and couldn't do it. The endurance just isn't there yet. At about mile 65 my heart rate had drifted up to 150 and as I lowered my effort to keep my HR from going higher it was apparent that I was in for a miserable time. So I called 75 miles good.
Over the three months of July, August and September which I called my pre-base phase I progressed from zero in June to 177, 349, 558 miles; 18:30, 32:50, 40:00 hours training; 1200, 2130, 2260 TSS; and 5400, 11,400, 16,000 KJ. Most important is that my TSS went from a low of 25 on 7-17 to 65 on 9-30.
All to say I am ready to start building endurance and power. In my last entry I gave some wrong numbers on FTP. I actually lost 60 watts from my peak FTP of 230. I come into October at 191 having climbed back a little from the FTP of 170 in early July. Increasing FTP 39 watts is hugely challenging. It took me months to push it from 217 to 230. Hard, hard work ahead.
As an aside, Joe Freil writes that you can calculate your potential FTP by taking your weight, doubling it, and subtracting half a percent for every year over 35 you are. So for someone weighing 170 pounds and, call it, 64. FTP = 340 - 14.5%*340 = 290.

The U.S. Commercial, Civil and Military Space markets represent a $100 billion market that is growing rapidly and Georgia intends to be a big part of it. As our national space strategy pushes LEO (Low Earth Orbit) space operations into the commercial sector, the close geographic proximity of Georgia to space launch facilities will lower the cost of doing business as a logistics, manufacturing and R&D point in Georgia.
More than 500 companies in Georgia perform all facets of aerospace vehicle & systems design, testing, manufacturing, operations, maintenance & overhaul, and support for customers throughout the world. Georgia's aerospace exports grew to $7.8 billion in 2013, an increase of 17% from 2012. Georgia currently hosts business units from some of the giants of the space industry, including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Pratt & Whitney. Georgia is also home to businesses specifically involved in the satellite industry, including EMS Technologies (now part of Honeywell), SpaceWorks Engineering, and Masten Space Systems.
Located at the center of the Southeast's space cluster, Georgia provides strategic access to major space facilities in the region including missile defense operations in Huntsville and Decatur, Alabama; Virginia's Wallops Island launch facility; and Florida's three space launch facilities.
Georgia's seamless logistics and transportation network provides efficient access to these space facilities.
Georgia is a natural launching point from which people and products are quickly transported via air, ground and ocean throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Georgia is an ideal place for space-related companies to seek manufacturing and research partnerships, and to hire skilled workers. Georgia ranks fourth in the nation for aerospace workers, and those 80,000 workers have been rated as the nation's most productive.
Georgia's colleges and universities supply companies with a well-educated workforce with strong programs in many engineering disciplines, including Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Robotics.
The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology is the No. 2 ranked undergraduate and No. 4 ranked graduate aerospace engineering program in the U.S. The program is one of the oldest, and largest educational programs of its kind in the country, numbering approximately 800 undergraduate students, 500 graduate students, 39 academic faculty, and 70 research faculty.
Georgia's universities and colleges annually spend in excess of $419 million in overall engineering R&D with more than $56 million in aerospace engineering R&D in FY09. Research is the backbone of the Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech ranks #2 in the U.S. in terms of the volume of aerospace R&D expenditures, with more than $49 million in FY09 (National Science Foundation).
Faculty members in the School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech are engaged in a wide variety of research topics ranging from highly theoretical work to extremely applied projects. Active research programs include diversified and multidisciplinary projects in fluid mechanics, structures and materials, aeroelasticity, controls, combustion & propulsion, design & optimization, air transportation, sustainable energy systems, and cognitive engineering, as applied to fixed wing aircraft, rotorcraft and space systems.
The Georgia Center of Innovation for Aerospace actively engages high-growth potential aerospace companies, using state-backed resources to provide access to academic intellectual capital, advanced university research, and industry expertise. The Center's newly created Space Working Group, composed of key leaders from industry, government, and academia, works to ensure that the programs within the state are aligned with the needs of the space industry.
Aerospace companies can generate significant savings with an array of tax credits and exemptions.

We haven't been good in the trip report department lately, so this is a bit of an attempt to catch up—and to pay the community back for information we picked up here in advance of our trip.
Last year at the holidays, we made an impulse purchase of tickets to Stockholm for a five-night trip over our July 4th weekend (Merry Christmas to us). Due to work, family matters, and such, we haven't been able to commit to a longer vacation this year. And a short trip like this allowed us the chance to travel with our 23-year-old daughter, who also doesn't have much time given that she is in the midst of starting graduate school and getting her own career off the ground.
This was our first visit to Stockholm. We arrived at about 4 pm on a Thursday and left very early the following Tuesday morning. While we only had four-plus days, note that these were very long days. The sun rose at about 3 am and set around 10:30 pm.
Accommodation: Residence Perseus, Gamla Stan
This is, perhaps, one of our favorite-ever vacation accommodations. We stayed in the Glory II apartment, which has two bedrooms and is very spacious and comfortable. It is an apartment in which I could happily live—well almost, as I might prefer a slightly larger shower if I was actually living there. The location is terrific. We walked pretty much everywhere, including to and from the Arlanda Express station. Although this is right in the middle of Gamla Stan, Baggensgatan is one of the quieter streets with no (or few) shops and little foot traffic even during peak hours. Highly recommended!
In a word, gorgeous. Highs around 70F and mostly sunny. I think we experienced just one quick little bit of rain, and at the time we were safely under umbrellas at a restaurant.

Highlights, in no particular order
Gamla Stan in the early morning and late evening, with few people around. And it wasn't just about the reduced crowds—the light was also really nice then.
The quiet corner of Södermalm along the Monteliusvägen cliff walk (great views), and just off of that walk in the area on and around Bastugatan (old houses).
The Nordiska museet (cultural history and ethnography). Not originally on our plan, but we stopped in when we encountered a long line at the Vasamuseet—and ended up spending several hours. A very interesting array of displays.
The Vasamuseet (salvaged ship from the 1600s). Also fascinating and unusual, with interesting displays on about five levels. Get here early, as lines form during the middle of the day and there are no advance sales (at least that was the case in early July).
On the subject of museums, there are many more from which to choose. Had the weather not been so nice, we probably would have visited a few more (Fotografiska, perhaps at the top of the list)…but as it was, it was hard not to be outdoors and preferably near the water.
Anywhere on a boat. We went to Drottningholm Palace one morning and to Vaxholm on another afternoon. We happened to pick those two destinations because the boat rides weren't too long (about an hour each way) and in opposite directions. I'm sure any of the other destinations across the archipelago would have offered yet other nice experiences (next time!). We did not book either in advance and had no problem walking up for tickets.
The row of old boats moored on Skeppsholmen shoreline.
Views from the Stadhus tower. This is another place to arrive early if you want to avoid the ticket line (there are limits on how many people can go up the tower at each entrance time). As we discovered, though, if you go up the tower at one of the first time slots of the day, you will find the view towards old town to be straight into the sun—so not as good for photos.
Report Abuse
Getting around
We took the Arlanda Express to and from the airport. Since we had just light carry-on luggage due to the short trip, we walked to our apartment on Gamla Stan (about 15 minutes). The walk was easy enough, although we did get caught up in a construction zone near the station and also the fun of rolling bags on cobblestones in Gamla Stan.
One lesson learned and a small tip for anyone with the unfortunate need to take the first (4:35 am) Arlanda Express train to the airport (hooray for 6 am flights): The doors to Central Station are not open at that time of the morning; you'll need to find the specific Arlanda Express entrance just past the Radisson Blu. The good news was the sun had been up for over an hour, so we had plenty of light as we tried to make our way around the station to find this entrance.
Around town, we walked….a lot. We used the handy Djurgården ferry a few times. There is a Metro system and trams that we could have used but never did.
Food & Drink
Our daughter is vegetarian, so that factored into our choices. Mostly, we ate within a relatively short distance of our apartment and picked places based on convenience, what caught our eye while out walking, and what sounded good at the time.
There was a small grocery two short blocks from our apartment, where we were able to buy breakfast foods and snacks.
While the difficulty level of purchasing wine is not as great as in Norway (where we literally were once told it would be easier to get on a plane and fly home to buy a bottle of wine), one must still find a state-run Systembolaget to do so in Stockholm. We walked to one in Södermalm on our first evening to pick up a few bottles of wine for the apartment.
Report Abuse
How expensive was it?
There's a widely held view that Scandinavia is an expensive destination. Generally speaking, though, we didn't find Stockholm to be any more expensive than Chicago, where we live. We splurged a bit on the particular apartment we picked (that was a choice, not a necessity), but dining, admissions, etc., were pretty much on par with what we'd expect to spend in Chicago. The caveat here is that we aren't shoppers…so no comparative data on that front.
Was five days too much?
Absolutely not! In terms of museums and recreational activity out in the archipelago, we left a lot on the table. We could easily have stayed longer and not been bored. We loved the relaxed atmosphere and vibe. Hopefully, we'll have a chance to return sometime.
Here are a few photos from our trip for anyone interested.
And that's it. We hope this is helpful to others planning a visit now or in the future.

We were in Stockholm in May of this year and loved it as well - I only wish I had known about Residence Perseus, Gamla Stan! Sounds wonderful and the location would have been great. We stayed at a nice older hotel in the center of Stockholm which was nice but we would have like to have been in the Gamla Stan.
Your photos are fabulous.

Allegheny County
Pennsylvania, USA
Max Afanesko, 88, of West Deer Township, passed from this life Friday, March 16, 2012, surrounded by his family at his residence. Born Aug. 20, 1923, in Curtisville, he lived in the West Deer Township all of his life. Max enjoyed playing baseball, playing for the 1939 Pa. All-State Champion Team from the American Legion. In 1945, Coach Malcolm named him in his lineup of "Greatest Players" for playing right field from 1939 to 1941. He graduated from Etna High School in 1942. After leaving high school, Max joined the Minor League Baseball system, playing in AA Minor League. Because of the war, in 1943 Max left the minor leagues and joined the Army, serving his country as a member of Company C, 272 Infantry Division of the Fighting 69th as a staff sergeant. Max was chosen by General Hodges to serve as an interpreter between the American First Army and Russian forces at the historic meeting of the Allies. At Elbe River, he crossed enemy lines, freeing 100 US prisoners of war. He received the EAME Campaign Medal, American Campaign Medal, Good Conduct Medal and World War II Victory medal. Returning from the service, he went to school at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in teaching. During his college career, he played football, playing both defense and offense and lettering in three sports and also was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. In 1967, he received his master's degree from Syracuse University. Max taught at Apollo Ridge High School, teaching civics, American history, world culture, problems of democracy and geography. He also was the baseball and football coach from 1953 to 1957 and retired in 1988 after a 35-year career in teaching. Survivors include his wife, Lucy Alice (Kundus) Afanesko; his son, James Afanesko, of California; his daughters, Sandy Afanesko, of Frazer, and Susan (Tom) Kardos, of Franklin Park; and his granddaughter, Lauren Kardos. He was preceded in death by his parents, Prokor and Tekla (Consweya) Afanesko; his brothers, Nicholas and Anthony Afanesko; and his sisters, Dorothy McCoy and Mary Afanesko. Family will receive friends from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Monday in the SIWICKI-YANICKO FUNERAL HOME, 23 McKrell Road, Russellton, West Deer Township.

I'll be the first to admit that i'm exposed to a ton of new tactical gadgetry almost on a weekly basis. After all these years, there's only one weapon light that has withstood a hell of a beating and lived to fight another day.
Now contrary to what a few industry authorities try to make you believe, lasers actually work very well at hitting your mark in the night. How do i know? Over this past Halloween, I took a trip down Texas to shoot the 2014 Walking Dead Multigun match. The event took place from 5pm till 5am and everything was shot in the dark. Needless to say , I had the Streamlight TLR2 on every one of my guns.
While i'm not kicking in doors as an LEO or in the military, this light was more than capable of handling my 24 hour onslaught of wipping my rifle, pistol and shotgun into barrels and banging into pretty much everything else.
Sure I could talk about all of the complex specifics of what makes this an outstanding choice for a weaponlight but i'm not going to do that. What I can tell you is that it did what I needed it to do every time I flipped the rear rocker switch and was plenty bright for slaying zombies all night in Texas, so it'll definitely get the job done for you too.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Info concerning John Wood Community College research proposals, and registering for elective seminars and discussion sections. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Then get a copy of the schedule of classes, so you can plan a workable weekly schedule for yourself. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and John Wood Community College major requirement information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for John Wood Community College.
Research demonstrates that college freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time. When choosing a major, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will meet transfer requirements of other colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you may be able to take some required core classes in a community college, saving both time and tuition fees.
Look at all the schools in your state first, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents.
