Urethral stricture is an abnormal narrowing of the tube that carries urine out of the body from the bladder (urethra).
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Urethral stricture may be caused by inflammation or scar tissue from surgery, disease, or injury. It may also be caused by pressure from a growing tumor near the urethra, although this is rare.
Other risks include:
- Sexually transmitted infection (STI)
- Procedures that place a tubeinto the urethra (such as a catheter or cystoscope)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)
- Injury to the pelvic area
- Repeated
Strictures that are present at birth (congenital) are rare. Strictures in women are rare.
Blood in the semen
- Bloody or dark urine
Decreased urine output Difficulty urinating
- Discharge from the urethra
Frequent or urgent urination
- Inability to urinate (urinary retention)
- Painful urination (
- Pain in the lower abdomen
- Pelvic pain
- Slow urine stream (may develop suddenly or gradually)
- Spraying of urine stream
- Swelling of the penis
Signs and tests
A physical examination may show the following:
- Decreased urinary stream
- Discharge from the urethra
- Enlarged (distended) bladder
- Enlarged or tender lymph nodes in the groin (inguinal) area
- Enlarged or tender prostate
- Hardness (induration) on the under surface of the penis
- Redness or swelling of the penis
Sometimes the exam reveals no abnormalities.
Tests include the following:
- Post-void residual (PVR) volume
- Retrograde urethrogram
- Tests for
chlamydiaand gonorrhea Urinalysis
- Urinary flow rate
Urine culture
The urethra may be widened (dilated) during cystoscopy by inserting a thin instrument to stretch the urethra while you are under local anesthesia. You may be able to treat your stricture by learning to dilate the urethra at home.
If urethral dilation is not successful or possible, you may need surgery to correct the condition. Surgical options depend on the location and length of the stricture. If the stricture is short and not near the urinary sphincter, options include cutting the stricture via cystoscopy or inserting a dilating device.
An open urethroplasty may be done for longer strictures. This surgery involves removal of the diseased part followed by reconstruction. The results vary depending on the size and location, the number of treatments you have had, and the surgeons experience.
In cases of acute urinary retention, a
There are currently no drug treatments for this disease. If all else fails, a urinary diversion -- appendicovesicostomy (Mitrofanoff procedure) -- may be done. This allows you to perform self-catheterization of the bladder through the wall of the abdomen.
Expectations (prognosis)
Treatment usually results in an excellent outcome. However, repeated therapies may be needed toremove the scar tissue.
Urethral stricture may totally block urine flow, causing acute urinary retention. This condition must be treated quickly.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if symptoms of urethral stricture occur.
Practicing safer-sex behaviors may decrease the risk of gettingSTIs and urethral stricture.
Treating urethral stricture quickly may prevent kidney or bladder complications.

Only thing I can think of is bad crush at ten LHBS.
FWIW, when I started AG brewing I worked on all the variables individually to get my process as efficient and consistent as possible ( calibration, volumes, measurements, pH ,etc.) and could not get above ~ 68% efficiency at best. It was frustrating because I knew my process was sound. The only thing left was my crush. So I had my LHBS double crush my next batch and my efficiency went to right ~ 80% with otherwise the same process. I've gotten my grain double crushed ever since.

The hood isn't necessary if you go fuelie, the lt-1 fits under there nicely, we went carb for lack of complexity.0
Yeah, I'd need to have FI, I would never pass smog with carburators where I live. I think Renegade will sell the injection wiring harness, too. I'd also like the fuel economy that comes with FI.0
Well, I guess with todays gas prices, fuel economy is pretty important, I only get about 7 miles to the gallon, and I try to put 110 in even though it runs perfectly well on 92. OUCH0
Achieved while travelling across state. This is after topping off with 93 the morning after running a 12.5 in the quarter the night before in my stealth 325i. Gotta love it.0

purrnak Posts: 4So I have a car which is fun to work on because it's so simple. yes you guessed it. A free hyundai pony 1986 1.4 yay for the lack of power.
Okay the mods I've done to it.
1. run elwire along the dash and behind the meters (yes blinks to the music)
2. mp3 stereo
- Massive amp
- 2x 12" Sony Xplode subs (waste of money buy something else and save $)
- 2x 9" 100 watt rms mids for the doors
3. Cathodes around the spearkers, under the seats, in front of the gear shifter Reds
4. Modified the ashtray to be the controler board for all the lights and to switch the amp on and off
(Yes this is a pony I'm talking about now stop laughing)
5. Cleaned up the engine and replaced all the hoses and most of the cables
6. Battery swap unit that allows for 2 batters and the ability to recharge them both without having to switch anything over.
7. stearing wheel and seat covers (yes the all important red seat covers and floor mats) Improved the look of the car by 1000x
I say again, YES it is a pony I'm talking about.
Mods I want to do to it. I'll split this into "has a purpose" and "No reason really"
Has a purpose:
a) I want to put a straight pipe exhaust in and change the muffler. Not sure how yet
b) Change the muffler tip/exhaust pipe in some way. I want to split the pipe and redirect the outputs to be wider and distort the noise a bit. I'm still learning about how the exhaust system works.
c) I want to add a new speaker box so it fills the trunk with a lift cover so I can stash stuff under it. Can't explain this one very well.
d) I want to add mags but because it's a pony my options are pretty limited until I found out how difficult it would be to change the mounting system. Right now it looks like 4 x 100's but I found some nice mags that are 5x something. I also have to look into conversion plates.
No purpose at all:
a) Put a wing on it. Not one you just buy in a box, but one I make myself that only has a look and no real purpose (yes it's a pony)
b) Once I get new rims I want to pain the calipers and light them up
c) under lights
d) flame thrower out the front (Not as hard to build as you might think)
e) Lower the car ( will probably do this one but don't know enough yet )
So um.. that's my big Toy Free junk yard parts makes this crap doable and fun.
And yes I hear a lot of laughter.
Any ideas what I could do to it? It's all a learning experience on this car so if I mess up, I don't really care. Oh and I beat quite a few cars off the line. I don't have the top spead of most civics but I can tick most of them off by getting across the intersection first.
(okay you can stop laughing now.)0
Sounds like an extensive project. I wish you the best. I'm not so sure you need to necessarily go to a 5 lug pattern on those mags. The aftermarket is too huge. Try calling the company. You'd be surprised as to how much help they're willing to give you if you explain what your intentions are as to your project.
As far as your performance is concerned, I'd make sure that the fuel system was running strong. For a mid-eighties Korean vehicle, that Pony is surprisingly reliable. Just go for Higher octane gas and clean up the exhaust system as best you can.
Best of luck to you.0
ponypower Posts: 2ok i also have a pony one of 3 and it had a snowboard spoiler on it a a light bar with 4 lights on it and a tip about 6 inchs in dia and a foot long also with a 1.4 liter revs to 7200 rpm no joke but im lookin how to put a 350 in to it so if u have any info how to do that i will very great full but ya good luck with your pony they never die just to let u no0
sepul Posts: 1Hey, this is my first post, and i was just wondering where i could find a used Integra Type-R chassis as the foundation of my project car. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Hmmm...that might not be so easy. I would google the Japanese Tuner Magazines or check your newsstand for classifieds in any specialty modding magazine. Also any Type-R clubs on the net. What's going to be hard is finding a Type R chassis that hasn't been worked or wrecked already. But I'm sure persistence will pay off.0
Maybe it would be more useful if you care to post what end result you're going for.0
iroc_fiero Posts: 3With only 4 production years, there aren't a lot of people who even recognize them on the rare occasion that they see one actually moving under its own power.... But the Pontiac Fiero makes a great platform to build on. I have an 88 model and a 305 TPI from an IROC-Z28 that I am going to swap into it.
The car is a pretty popular choice for people making kit cars and replicas of European cars since it is the only mid engine in GM's modern line up. I haven't fully decided whether I would like to build a kit car or just swap the engine and be content that even with stock parts people don't know what they are looking at. But thats my project idea. For about 5K I can have a aggressive little coupe that should be capable of lifting the front tires off the ground. :surprise:0
Is yours a 5-speed V-6 or???0
Did a Fiero for a customer about 2 years ago with the 4.0L version of GM's Northstar V8. Surprisingly enough, this GM motor is one of the most underrated and overlooked pieces GM my have ever had in it's roster.
We dynoed it at 325.7 horses at the rear wheels at 7230rpm, and 285.5 lb-ft of torque at 5760rpm. Almost all of the go fast parts came from RSM Racing's online catalogue. You'll have to utilize a standalone engine managenemt system, but you'll have a car that can run with the best of them on a whim. Porsche, Ferrari, Viper, whatever.0
Stand alone engine management is pretty tricky business for the average hobbyist, don't you think?0
I went up against a gentleman at Thunderhill in a 1996 MkIV Toyota Supra. His car was impeccably built with tastefull carbon fiber trim and backlit gauges. I'd list out the spec of the hardware of this car, but I don't want to catch carpal tunnel anytime soon.
It was upon learning that his 16 year old son was the culprit who performed all of the tuning and upgrades on this car (with trips to the dyno shop)that I was truly amazed. From that point on, I never put it past anyone willing to pick up a wrench, as a hobbyist or otherwise, to do amazing things.0
There's a guy over in "engine swaps" on this board asking some Fiero questions. Would you mind going over there to help him?

Chris worked at Canyonlands Field Institute for many years, starting out as an intern in 1993 and returned for 10 seasons. Chris shared his knowledge and love of canyon country, his guitar playing and beautiful smile with over a thousand school children and many Elderhostelers. He mentored CFI's annual batch of interns, grad students and co-workers, remaining in touch with most over the years.
Though playful in nature, he also challenged himself intellectually, spiritually and physically. One winter, he completed a solo canoe trip, paddling down the Green River to the confluence and back up the Colorado, "Denis Julien style." He landed at Potash as icebergs formed.
Chris was born in New Jersey on Nov. 15, 1960, to Susanne Isbill and Walter Phelps. A lifelong student, Chris decided in his 40's to complete a masters degree in somatic psychology. He was diagnosed with cancer just as he started to work as a therapist in 2011.
Chris is survived by his parents; his brother, Andy; and a large cadre of friends from across the country, all of whom provided loving support in these past months.
His final days were spent in Zen hospice.
His close friend from graduate school, John Azzizzi, wrote in tribute: "Chris will be remembered for many things but above all, he will be remembered for the depth, fierceness and beauty of his love … for his friends, for the natural places, for the world and for the this amazing life.

BSOD - Constant reboots on new system
I just installed Win 7 64 Professional retail on a new OCZ SSD. I have been having issues with the system rebooting & I was convinced it was the old SSD. Since i have come back to my PC twice within 12 hours to find it had "recovered from a serious error", I am wondering if its something else (ram)?
Any ideas what it could be?
Is Windows 7 . . .
- x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? 64 bit
- the original installed OS on the system? Windows 7 Pro 64
- an OEM or full retail version? Retail
- What is the age of system (hardware)? Brand new build
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) 24 hours
I7 960 processor
12 gigs ram (I bought a 6gig pack twice by mistake)
Asus P6X58D Premium mobo
OCZ Agility2 60 gig drive
ATI HD5XXX video card.
|My System Specs
|15 Jul 2010
First, please visit the Asus support website and download/install the latest version of the ATK0110 ACPI Utility driver - it'll either be under the ATK or the Utility sections on the downloads page. The version on your system now (from 2005) is a known BSOD cause in Windows 7. Then see if you continue to get BSOD's.
One of the errors is a STOP 0x109 - and it's commonly associated with memory problems (RAM, CPU, mobo, video memory). As such I'd start with these free diagnostics:
H/W Diagnostics:
Please start by running these bootable hardware diagnostics:
Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)
HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link)
Also, please run one of these free, independent online malware scans to ensure that your current protection hasn't been compromised: Malware (read the details at the link)
Then, if the above tests pass, I'd try these free stress tests:
FurMark download site: FurMark: Graphics Card Stability and Stress Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net
FurMark Setup:
- If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
- In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"
Click "Go" to start the test
- Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
- Click "Quit" to exit
Prime95 download site: Free Software - GIMPS
Prime95 Setup:
- extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
- double click on the executable file
- select "Just stress testing"
- select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Small FFTs" test instead. (run all 3 if you find a problem and note how long it takes to error out with each)
- "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors (whichever comes first).
This won't necessarily crash the system - but check the output in the test window for errors.
The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.
Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.
So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).
Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
NOTE: You can use Low Resource Simulation if you'd like. From my limited experimentation it makes the BSOD's come faster.
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.
Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).
Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.
If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line:
Delete these registry keys (works in XP, Vista, Win7): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDrivers HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\VerifyDriverLevel

I am starting at the top of your list: ATK0110 ACPI -- Your correct, mine was very out of date (April 2004), it is now updated using 7/16/2009 as the dated version (driver version 1043.6.0.0). It was not a driver that was listed on the Asus support site.
I will be running the memtest overnight tonight. I hope the 12 gigs wont be an issue.
As far as driver verifier goes, I have no problem chancing that my system wont recover. I have reinstalled this system a number of times over the last few weeks.
I have been wondering if I should remove 6 gigs of ram & see if that makes a difference.
I will keep you updated as I try things out.
|My System Specs
|18 Jul 2010
I've got 12 gB of RAM also - so running Memtest overnight is a requirement.
Make sure that it's completed 3 passes (when I did it I only got 5 passes overnight)
It's my opinion that 6gB of the RAM is wasted (I've monitored the RAM usage on my system) - but since you've already purchased it you might as well leave it in. When I build the wife's next system, she'll get 6 gB of my RAM. There's just nothing that I do that requires all that memory.
Good luck!
|My System Specs
|18 Jul 2010
So far i just updated that driver. So far the machine hasnt rebooted which is impressive so far. I have a SSD (60gb) so storage is at a premium. I changed the hibernation to off & I changed the page file from 12gb to 2 gb (I figure that it wont go over 14gb of ram).
I think the splitting the ram is a good idea. I would give it to a friend but I want to make sure it works so I dont get calls about problems down the line.
|My System Specs
|18 Jul 2010
I'd suggest leaving the pagefile at Windows Managed - that way it'll be dynamic in size and you won't have to worry about it.
|My System Specs
|18 Jul 2010
I am not sure if my system rebooted. I think i turned off error notifications so I am not 100% sure.
I did buy an additional 6 gigs of ram for another persons PC. I may end up swaping that memory in just to see if I still have problems.
EDIT: I removed 8 gigs of ram & am testing 2 gigs at a time. So far so good.
|My System Specs
|18 Jul 2010
So I just started running memtest86 v4.0 & it already picked up 65,000+ errors within 4 minutes. The list keeps growing & growing.
I am guessing something is wrong with version 4.0.
Do you have another suggestion on how to test 12gb of ram (6x2gb sticks)?
|My System Specs
|19 Jul 2010
I'm guessing that there's a problem with at least one stick of your RAM.
Around paragraph 6 or 7 is the technique for ruling out sticks and slots in your system:
Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)
|My System Specs
|19 Jul 2010
Well I noticed that my ram wasnt running at the 1600mhz DDR 3 speed (closer to 1066) so I changed that in the bios & I am rerunning the tests.
What I cant figure out for sure is if I get an error message saying the error was at meg 5980
Does that mean the error came from stick 3 (the being meg roughly 4000-6000)?
For some other reason, my system wont boot at all if there is no ram in slots 1,2,3 & it makes it hard to just test slots 4,5,6 with no ram in 1,2,3. I was hoping to test the slots to see if that was the issue.
The results at the slower speed were I thought I found my bad stick & when I tried it again, it gave no errors for the first few passes. I will have to run in over night.
If I have 6 sticks of ram, is it recommended to test each stick over night during a 6 day period?

A Holter monitor is a machine that continuously records the hearts rhythms. The monitor is usually worn for 24 - 48 hours during normal activity.
Alternative Names
Ambulatory electrocardiography; Electrocardiography - ambulatory
How the test is performed
Electrodes (small conducting patches) are stuck onto your chest and attached to a small recording monitor. You carry the Holter monitor in a pocket or small pouch worn around your neck or waist. The monitor is battery operated.
While you wear the monitor, it records your hearts electrical activity.
- Keep a diary of what activities you do while wearing the monitor, and how you feel.
- After 24 - 48 hours, you willreturn the monitor to your doctors office.
- The doctor will look at the records and see if there have been any abnormal heart rhythms.
It is very important that you accurately record your symptoms and activities so the doctor can match them with your Holter monitor findings.
Electrodes must be firmly attached to the chest so the machine gets an accurate recording of the hearts activity.
While wearing the device, avoid:
- Electric blankets
- High-voltage areas
- Magnets
- Metal detectors
Continue your normal activities while wearing the monitor. You may be asked to exercise while being monitored if your symptoms have occurred in the past while you were exercising.
How to prepare for the test
There is no special preparation for the test. Your doctor will start the monitor. Youll be told how to replace the electrodes should they fall off or become loose.
Tell your doctor if you are allergic to any tape or other adhesives. Make sure you shower or bathe before you start the test. You will not be able to do so while you are wearing a Holter monitor.
How the test will feel
This is a painless test. However, some people may need to have their chest shaved so the electrodes can stick.

Night after Night: Jan. 31, 2013
More recommended shows from our music writers, who might well be listening to live music somewhere when kickoff rolls around Sunday:
Arturo "Sauce" Gonzalez Quintet at Joe Blue's. Legendary musician celebrated his 70th birthday in grand style with a jam-packed crowd that spilled into the parking lot at Olmos Bharmacy last week. He'll be in a jazzier R&B mode tonight with drummer Kevin Hess, bassist Joe Sarli, trumpeter Al Gomez and saxophonist Richard Garcia and more than likely some groovy special guests. Free.
Raulito Navaira, Los Hermanos Farias at Graham Central Station. This 11-year anniversary party features a long list of Grammy and Latin Grammy winners and nominees. Navaira is promoting his album "Por Mientras." Los Hermanos Farias are back in the studio to follow up its Latin Grammy nod first time out of the chute. Also on the bill are Tejano stars Gary Hobbs, Jimmy Gonzalez, Los DesperadoZ and David Lee Garza. Expect a handful of surprise guests.
Michael Guerra Band, Ashlee Rose at Blue Star Brewing Co. First Friday gig offers this touring member of the Mavericks a chance to move from accordion sideman to center stage with his Latino rock band and show off originals from his self-titled debut. Singer-songwriter Rose has been sitting in on cool shows of late. This is another fun one.
Gojira at White Rabbit. French death metal hits the St. Mary's Strip with a twist of atmospherics and a spiritual, environmental and activist lyricism. The veteran band, led by the Duplantier brothers, is promoting last year's "L'Enfant Sauvage." Rounding out the night is Devin Townsend Project and the Atlas Moth.
Mario Flores & The Soda Creek Band at Leon Springs Dance Hall. Flores' single, the love song "Crazy Enough for Me," moved up to No. 24 on the Texas Regional Radio Report chart this week. He also will be at the Thirsty Horse Saloon on Saturday.
Chisme, Parking, Evolve, Evak, DJ EZ Dave at Hi-Tones. Here's a night of Texas hip-hop delivered by artists from across the state. Listen for each act to bring a unique cultural twist to the music. Locals Chisme (gossip) will showcase selections from the albums "In One Ear, Out the Other" and "Storytellers." Parking, from Austin, fuses electro and hip-hop. Evolve comes up from the Rio Grande Valley with the hot new track "My Style." Houston-based Evak, a member of the group Prison Soup, serves words with a distinctive style. DJ EZ Dave, from S.A. by way of New Zealand, blends old and new hip-hop.
Berkley Hart at Lions Field Activity Center (2809 Broadway, 7 p.m.) Urban Campfires brings in Berkley Hart, the singing, songwriting duo of Jeff Berkley (guitar, percussion, vocals) and CalmanÖ Hart (guitar, harmonica, vocals). The San Diego team of Berkley, a Kerrville New Folk winner, and Hart, also a first-class wordsmith, are working with their latest CD, "Crow." The duo plays a blend of folk, country and roots rock with humor and verve. Reservations: 210-824-1068.
Bleu Edmondson, Rob Baird at Luckenbach Dance Hall. Edmondson scored a Texas radio hit with "Black and White," about a teen joining the military to help his poor family. He's also donating sales of the single to the Boot Campaign to support soldiers. Baird will open at 9 p.m.
The Beaumonts, AC & The Bad Billys at The Phoenix Saloon in New Braunfels. Lubbock-based The Beaumonts do a mash-up of Telecaster country and rip-roaring rock while The Bad Billys blend turbocharged roots rock and rockabilly. They'll also be at Gruene Hall at 6 tonight.
The Lone Star Swingbillies at Olmos Bharmacy (6 p.m.). The Swingbillies, Ken Little (guitar, vocals), Hank Harrison (fiddle, mandolin, vocals), Mary Ann Cornelius (bass fiddle) and Denny Mathis (steel guitar) whip through a classic and big-fun repertoire of real country, roots rock 'n' roll and honky-tonk. Harrison, Cornelius and Tennessee Valley Authority will play their bluegrass at Twin Sisters on Friday at 7 p.m.
Wretched at White Rabbit. Known for playing technical death metal, a style that incorporates elements of thrash, classic death metal and European black metal with ultra-hot guitar leads and harmony vocals, the North Carolina quintet has undergone several personnel changes. However, Wretched knows how to persevere. After albums such as "The Exodus of Autonomy" and "Beyond the Gate," Wretched is on the road with its latest disc, "Son of Perdition" (Victory).
Two Tons of Steel at Sam's Burger Joint. For the weekly Swing Night, Two Tons of Steel will get the dancers going with their distinctive blast of toe-tapping music that melds hot-rod rockabilly, rock and retro-country.
Randy Rogers at Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos. The Randy Rogers and Friends Acoustic Series will continue with another surprise guest at 8:45 p.m. Past guests include Jack Ingram, Hayes Carll and Bruce Robison.
Pavlo at Sam's Burger Joint. A Greek-Canadian guitarist and composer, Pavlo recently relocated from Toronto to Tampa, Fla. An accomplished multitasker, and a master of multiple mediums, Pavlo hit on PBS with the special "Pavlo: Mediterranean Nights." A second PBS program is in the works. Pavlo collaborated with GodinÖ guitars to create a "Pavlo" guitar. He's also involved with charity work as a spokesman for World Vision and Batten Disease Awareness. If that's not enough, Pavlo has his own wine. But wait, there's more. R. Kelly sampled Pavlo's "Fantasia" for the '00 hit song "Fiesta." Suffice it to say Pavlo now is listed as a co-writer and shares in the song publishing revenues. A sharp guitarist who plays Mediterranean fusion, Pavlo is working with his latest CD, "Six String Blvd." And, Pavlo has been known to give away the guitar with which he performs to someone in his concert audiences, so pay attention.
Colton Dixon at Best Buy (125 NW Loop 410, No. 201Ö, 6-8 p.m.). The Tennessee-based singer placed seventh on last year's season of "American Idol." Instead of drifting into obscurity, Dixon made the rounds of TV talk shows, picking up fans along the way with his voice, his faith-based songs and his positive attitude. Dixon is making the rounds celebrating the release of his debut album, "A Messenger" (Sparrow/19).
Bob Marley Day at The Reggae Bar. Bob Marley, a reggae giant as a songwriter, a singer and a bandleader, was born Feb. 6, 1945. Cancer claimed him in 1981. Marley's music and legend live. The Reggae Bar is the setting for the fourth annual Bob Marley birthday celebration. There'll be food and plenty of music from RasÖ YamaÖ & the Melodic Souls, DJ Dish 1 and the Reggae Bar DJs. It's free and an all-ages event.

Thursday January 26, 2012
Brad Pitt has said that he and Angelina Jolie want to tie the knot.
The Hollywood couple, who have six children together, declared long ago that they would not wed until same sex marriage is legalised.
But Brad told The Hollywood Reporter: "We'd actually like to, and it seems to mean more and more to our kids.
"We made this declaration some time ago that we weren't going to do it till everyone can. But I don't think we'll be able to hold out."
Brad has been Oscar-nominated for best actor for his role in baseball drama Moneyball.
The Fight Club actor wouldn't comment on whether he'd asked Angelina, his partner of seven years, to marry him. But he said:
"To be in love with someone and be raising a family with someone and want to make that commitment and not be able to is ludicrous, just ludicrous."

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|A Dish Served Cold (cont.)
With the cargo hold open, it's time to backtrack all the way down to the main deck. Earlier, the rather covertly-hidden cargo hold was easy to miss, but this time an open hatch leading into the ship's hull will let you know where to go. The backtracking isn't as easy as it might sound, however. Enemies haven't necessarily respawned, but reinforcements have arrived on the scene and will combine with any enemies you left alive as you went through to give you a hard time getting back. Your best bet is to jump over the sides of the ship to the main deck instead of going through the interior. This should allow you to run into less resistance.
When you reach the now-open hatch, jump into the cargo hold. When you do, a cutscene will ensue, showing Niko, Dimitri, and what remains of his personal body guard. The end is near for that back-stabber. But first, you're going to have to blaze through his friends. Dimitri has a red arrow hanging over his head and will immediately retreat to some cover as his friends attempt to take care of you. As soon as you target him and begin shooting him, however, it's all over for Dimitri.
Dimitri won't necessarily beg for his life, but he does try to get himself out of this mess by promising that his death will make things extremely difficult for Niko. Perhaps he's right, but regardless Dimitri needs to be taken care of. As the game has done many times up to this point, you'll be given the opportunity to lay the killing blow to Dimitri as he stands in front of you defenseless. Aim at his head with a firearm and take him out. Then, get off of the ship (just jump off of the side of the deck to the ground adjacent to the ship) to end the mission successfully.

is there a way to link the invoice creation (and due date) to the calendar, so that i can see when i must check when certain invoices has been paied or not?
Or any other way, like a statistic view or something where i can check wich invoices are due within a date or the present day in order to check the actual payment?
I cannot see anything like that even i do believe is a core function and is the only thing i see missing.
thanks all,

Academic freedom. Where is the line, or is there a line? The controversy surrounding a University of California economics professor who has aided a foreign government in a trade dispute with the U.S. grows increasingly bigger with the promise of a "full examination" of not only his actions, but that from another economics professor who has been hauled into the same rancorous firestorm.
Former USDA chief economist and later undersecretary in the department, Daniel Sumner, now director of the UC Agricultural Issues Center, was hired by the Brazilian government to formulate a challenge of the federal cotton farm program in a dispute before the World Trade Organization (WTO). At the recent National Cotton Council's Beltwide Cotton Conference in San Antonio, NCC president Mark Lange also implicated Iowa State University's Bruce Babcock in the same dispute, claiming Babcock has helped Sumner in formulating Brazil's WTO case against the U.S. Lange also accused Babcock, and indirectly Sumner, of unethical use of data developed for the U.S. Congress by the University of Missouri.
Lange was incensed and promises a full attack on his two fellow economists.
Academic freedom seems to be a very broad brush that allows anyone with a doctorate on the payroll of the state of California or the federal government as an academician to do and say whatever they please under protection of scientific research.
However, there has to be a line drawn somewhere.
When you take a paycheck from an employer, that employer has the right to make employment conditions. My employer tells me that I may not write articles for any other publication while I take a check from Primedia. That is a reasonable condition of employment. When an engineer takes a paycheck from General Motors, he is forbidden to design automobiles for Ford.
When a professor takes a check or funds from the state or federal government, taxpayers have a right to similar expectations.
The academic freedom aside, what Sumner and Babcock have done shows amazingly bad judgment. They may have a right to their views and to disseminate their academic research, but to do it for a foreign government is ludicrous. No one says Sumner is not free to make his views and research known. It could very well change U.S. farm policy, but to allow a foreign government to use it in an attempt to change U.S. policy is wrong.
What they also have done is put their fellow university researchers in economic peril. To this point, California agriculture has been told the university will do nothing to stop Sumner from practicing his academic freedom.
The industry has replied that it has the freedom to withhold or withdraw research and scholarship funds, coming at a time when the university can ill-afford to lose funds. Blackmail? Retaliation? Freedom of choice?
We do not know Babcock, but are aware of Sumner and the work he and agricultural issues center economists have done. Growers say it has been valuable. However, it will be a long time, if ever, before Sumner or the center is asked to work for an agricultural group in California.
The only one that stands to win in this is Brazil and if it does, it will be a very high price for academic freedom.

Still Alive!
I didn't die, y'all. And I've finally caught up on OLTL, so I'm going to jump right back in by recapping the most recent episode (#37).
I like this new "TOLN presents" graphic at the beginning of the show. I'm not crazy, that's new, isn't it?
Ugh. Destiny and Natalie are getting ready for their "double date that isn't a date." I am not a fan of this friendship, it's too weird. Not that I don't have close friends where there's an even bigger age difference, but I just don't like it. It feels forced. Anyway they're talking about how Jeffrey is a "buffer," which... okay, sure, y'all.
Blair shows up at Todd's to chew him out about whatever his plan is to save ALL OF THE LOVED ONES.
Jack is at the coffee shop with his totally disgusting teacher. I still have post-traumatic stress from their impromptu sexathon so I can't even deal. Oh yeah, and Shaun is there as Jack's bodyguard. Shaun!
Jeffrey shows up at Llanfair at VIki's behest. She wants him to do some digging about the Pellegrino fund investors because Clint is super-sketchy because Viki is not brain-dead. I for serious love Viki/Jeffrey scenes, you guys.
David is excited that he gets to pitch his new reality show to some network and wants Dorian to come to Shelter to celebrate. Dr. Dorian Lord, however, has "important" things to do and David just sort of awkwardly emits an "Oh," and exits. Dorian is in a terrible blazer and calling the investment dude Frank and is trying to figure out how Viki didn't go belly-up with the bad investment, and Frank insists that she actually did.
Dance credits!
Peach Pit After Dark. Rama and David are flirting. Like hard. Dani is filling in on having helped Arturo clean out DeadBriana's belongings. But Michelle shows up and now has to confess some other lie to Matthew.
Coffee Shop. Jack's teacher isn't comfortable with a bodyguard around so she gets the hell out of Dodge. I guess because maybe it's frowned upon to bed strange students before meeting them? Anyway, Jack calls Blair to have Blair tell Todd to call off his goons. It's like a game of telephone! Except it's the actual telephone.
Casa Banks. Natalie answers the door to Jeffrey, who brought a bottle of wine. Classy and all, but really? These 21-year-olds are really old! When I was 21, the best case scenario was maybe a handle of well vodka and the worst case scenario was maybe a little Mad Dog 20/20. Destiny is wearing very little, like all frazzled and overworked young single mothers!
Cutter shows up with a nice bottle of fancytime liquor and is sad-faced to see that it's not just going to be him and Natalie. Because duh.
Llanfair. Viki asks Clint if he's hiding anything from her and he assures her that he is not, because Clint 'fessing up to things is about as common as my subway line running on time at the end of my work day. Dorian turns up to taunt the Lord-Buchanans about foul play and SEC investigations. Dorian announces that Clint has betrayed Viki once again and that Viki is just too besotted with love to see it. She threatens to go to the media with what she knows. Clint tells Dorian to skedaddle so he can talk to Viki, who tells him she already knows he covered the financial loss. The queen is disappointed.
She feels utterly betrayed by Clint.
Clint has been appropriately shamed.
Peach Pit After Dark. Rama and David are dancing the night away and then almost kiss when they get interrupted. Eww. Seriously? No. Do not want.
Michelle is 'fessing up to Matthew about how she's a maid and didn't really go to Toronto and had to lie because she was so embarrassed about having, like, a job or something that she couldn't be honest. Inexplicably, Matthew is impressed by how forthcoming she is! Dani feels pretty much the same way I do about Matthew's reaction.
Can we talk about how much Kelley Missal rocks this kind of stuff?
Because she does.
Casa Banks. Cutter is filling the gang in on all the drama at the Peach Pit After Dark while Natalie plays footsie with him under the table.
I'm not nuts about Nat's bright pink lipstick or Cutter's outfit. (Though Nat still looks crazy-hot, because reality.)
Cutter gets a crisis call from work and has to bail. Natalie's Catwoman suit will go to waste, which is a shame. I'm not here to watch Destiny on a date, people! I'm here for Cutter and Natalie!
Manning Hotel Room. Blair talks about when they first brought Starr home from the hospital how tired and scared they were. I... am going to assume she's referring to after Starr's first big health scare or something? Because obviously Todd was presumed dead and nowhere to be seen when Starr was a newborn. Todd offers Blair support and she's pleased to see "that Todd" since she hasn't in a while. She's going to leave. Oh! Moment!
There they are, kids. Angst and more angst. Oh yes.
Peach Pit After Dark. Rama and Cutter bicker about work a bit and he goes off to fix something, I couldn't quite follow the issue because it was hardly the point. Rama's upset so she does a shot.
David Vickers approaches. This certainly cannot lead to anything good. She goes over and sexy-dances with him because apparently that is a thing you can do at her job. And they kiss. Like for realsies. Just as guess who is descending the stairs.
Well, she is of course not pleased and throws a "Back off, bitch!" at Rama who appropriately scurries off because stop it, and then Dorian reads David the riot act and he has the weakest apologies ever. She tells him something has been broken here tonight and takes off. Good. Go find Ray Montez, do it!
Casa Banks. Dessert. Cutter calls Natalie to tell her it was a false alarm and he's so sorry to have missed dessert. He suggests that next time they lose the chaperones. YES PLEASE.
Llanfair. Viki is dressing down her beloved for having lied to her. Again. He insists it's totes no biggie that he lied because it's not as if he did anything illegal. He is not making a persuasive argument to Queen Victoria. She insists that his attempts to "fix" things are not love but control. And Viki lays it down. "Because of what you've done, I've lost the most important thing of all." She hands him the engagement ring. Oof.
Manning Hotel Room. Todd and Blair are having dinner. Todd reaches for Blair's hand, and she cannot help but let him. Then they get all "Todd and Blair" up in this bitch.
It is on.
And there it was! Finally caught up. I'm so sorry I've been too busy to keep up and do posts. I'm going to do my best with my insane schedule because I do love our OLTL and I do love getting to chat with you lovely folks about the show!

I had a dream last night that a bunch of friends of mine represented our university in some giant battle like thing, where we would go out into this huge underground complex and fight each other. So we're in this armory loading up on guns and stuff, and then we're out in this long black tunnel, and we come across another group and just tear em' to shreds. It was badass.
Also the night before after watching an episode of Bones about a canabalistic serial killer, I dreamt I was being terrorized by a canabalistic serial killer. I think there might be a connection there somewhere...

I had a dream last night that I was like the black-guy from The Incredibles and could freeze water and use it to slide on it, but I didn't really just have super powers I had a spray-bottle and was just spraying water on already existing ice/snow and just did cool flips and stuff off of snow banks. It was fucking badass.

Had one where it was a first/third-person shooter and some snake wrangling. But instead of a terribly venomous black snake, it was just a cobra that kept trying to bite me. Didn't know how to let go of it so I was kinda walking around with it until it calmed down and I think I tossed it away. It was going to bite me eventually if I kept it.

I had a dream tonight.
I was a member of some search team, doing reconaissance on an island, where some epidemy happened. The only way to "kill" the virus that caused the disease, was to cover the bodies with melted cheese. So there i was, climbing up a hill, watching around, and then i spotted the bodies. Hot cheese was being poured on them from a helicopter, and because there was so much of it, i had to run from a tsunami of melted cheese and bodies. (they were uphill). Then i hid in a cave, and some other dream started, but i dont feel like writing about that, because i dont really know what it was about.
btw, Are the wings on fire?

Yo dawg, I know I had a dream so I'm- and stuff.
I found a purse and was mimicking throwing it like a football to a lady across the bus, but when she didn't comply, she left and I barely got out in time to return it to her. She was near a payphone with another lady and when I gave it to her, she was all surly but the other one defended me. I left annoyed and instead of returning to the bus, I went walking.
Entered a suburban area with two girls in light blue riding bikes and around the corner, some kids fooling around in the backyard, hitting the ground with some poles used for those table umbrellas. Down the street and around another corner, some black greasers meeting up with their women. At the end of this street, a kid that had all his limbs in awkward positions, wriggling around like a broken puppet. He laughed at my disgusted expression and
ran down the street ahead while I made two lefts onto a main street. I remember this one from a few dreams before and knew that EB Games was down this way and the subway, but a guy was arguing with another and he pulled a gun while holding a bag of chips. I got down to my stomach and tried to quickly crawl away, and nearly made it to a car when he turned my way. I just froze with two others and after bringing us together, there were six of us, excluding the gunman. He told us to cut our pants into shorts and to take off our outerwear. Everybody but me had a pair of scissors. I told him such and he handed me one, just like the one I have at home.
I contemplated stabbing him with them, but with the gun, I wasn't too sure. I started cutting my pants below the pockets but then I got up and moved away from him (His back was turned). I realized the scissors was gone and I held a revolver in my hand, one of those western six-shooters. I aimed at the gunman and he turned and laughed, saying I didn't have the guts. I knew it was me or him, so I grit my teeth, steeled myself, aimed-
-and I shot him.
It hit him in the right side of the chest and he dropped to the ground. I walked up and shot him in the knee and the shin of his right leg. As he was still holding the gun, I shot him in the elbow. Someone touched my shoulder and as I turned, I saw it was one of the four guardians I knew from elsewhere. Kinda looks like a claymore, except she is mostly silent. She gestured for the gun and when I gave it to her, she shot him in the head. She looked at me with a questioning look, asking if she should kill the others. I shook my head atold her to quickly leave before the cops arrived. She hugged me and kissed me on the forehead goodbye, walked a few feet and vanished.
The cops arrived a minute after with all of us still there and as they were ushering us into the cars, I asked if I could throw up first, just to empty out the contents of my stomach (Pretty much what I asked). He agreed, I did into a grate and asked if I could buy a bottle of water from the vending machine. He said it was alright and I did, washing out the taste from my mouth. As I got back, he asked who did this and I said if I told him her name, she would disappear for good.
Got 8.5-9 hours of sleep with this and felt horrendously tired when I woke up. From the point where I shot him, felt like I was in shock in-dream, or like all your emotions were turned off and you don't feel fear, pain, enjoyment or nothing. Can't be killing while feeling emotional, can ya?

Lately I've found myself (sort of) Lucid dreaming. I only say "sort of" because I can't really control anything, I can only know that it's a dream. So I just kinda let the dream go on its own. I may try some things tonight if I can to see if I can be more successful.
Also @ HK-47: How do you manage to remember your dreams so vividly? I can only remember bits and pieces of mine.

It's mostly the ones that feel real that I can remember the most of, the ones where you're in control and reality is somehow twisted. Real world locations but not where they would normally be, or places you've been to ages ago but can't remember, only a nagging feeling that it's familiar.
And the ones that feel long, like they've gone on for a while; for so long that it feels like you're awake until the end or you make it end.
And think I've done that lucid dreaming stuff occasionally, if it's like you're a specter and watching yourself go about in your dream.

Have to remember not to take naps anymore. The first dream was more pleasant, even if they did alter the giant floating baby head.
My daughter was kidnapped and I brought along Arnie (A Mr. Ty Daylum but looked like Arnie) for the ride to an island where she was taken. Packed with a machine gun, we got to a perch and he proceeded to deforest the area below us in a wide arc, mowing down an ungodly amount of trees with a bottomless magazine. All I had was a handgun and a pair of knives, but we left and went down to the docks, where we met a kid, the same age as my daughter.
After checking our boat and seeing it was running on empty, we checked another one and saw it was only a bit better. "We wouldn't get far with this one," Daylum said. We decided to take the kid along and went to the house up the path along a cliff face. The top was for the most part barren and dusty from the path to the of the house, but with another path and greenery to the side of it, and more trees along the cliff edge and the farther we got from the side with the cliff path and the front. We hid among some rocks infront of the house and decided either the front of the house, or the eastern side/side door (That was Daylum, I couldn't figure out which way was north or east). I basically said screw it and to go through the front.
Walking up to the house, I felt like I've seen it before. Opening the front door, we walked into an empty lobby room, the one where we could take off our shoes and such. The next room had a small pool and some wooden boxes. There were two men there and I slowed down time long enough to shoot them dead. We heard some voices and I said "Hide!" and we did. I heard footsteps and prayed that he wasn't savvy enough to check my cramped box (On it's side, facing the wall). But he slowly put his head forward into my view and turned my way. I slowed down time again and promptly shot him in the head.
I dragged him towards me and cut his throat to make sure and peeked out. There was no one else there. I got out and as did the others and we opened the door into the next room was the kitchen with a counter in front of us, with two hostages with knives to their throat behind it and unstable lady with long, black, curly hair with a small pair of yellow scissors. I shot the first hostage taker in the head and the lady tried to run me through with the scissors. I knocked it away with my knife and took them away from her, so she got a slightly larger green pair. Shot the next hostage taker dead and she came at me again. Disabled her again, got another pair, blue, knocked those away right when she got them and then the biggest pair, black.
I got those from her and she was crying hysterically, she got the blue pair again and I told her to stop but she snapped. She said some words, I got pissed, demanded the location of my daughter, more words were said and I said "If you want to die so much..." I pointed my scissors at her, face level, which she ran into. It slid past her eye socket and scraped some bone. She started to drop and I pushed her against the wall to get the scissors out. Everything was silent and I felt like throwing up. This was a female innocent who had lost her mind, and I killed her. I walked out with the scissors and met the film crew, or what felt like a crew, dumped the scissors and told them. One guy grabbed a shotgun and shot at a cliff face across from us. It attracted a lion who said he'd be glad if it ate us. But down below us, I saw some kangaroos and lioness' running towards us.
"Aw fuck", I said and we ran for the trees with the animals making fast progress. Me and another made it to one first and started to climb it. We got pretty high until someone said don't climb the trees and I heard a hissing in my ear. I dropped down and ran back towards the house, past the lobby, past the pool, into the kitchen, hearing an announcement about the number 12 and a boat leaving shortly. I went to the dead woman, put my fingers to her head and brought her back from the dead. Running through the kitchen and up the stairs, I went to the roof and began sniping the felines and kangaroos that were near the other humans. They eventually realized who was top dog and buggered off.
After I woke up, I realized why that house looked familiar. It was Curtis Blackburn's house.

Had to bring it back with this dream from a 2 1/2 hour nap:
I don't remember how I got there but I was high up on a wooden structure, overlooking a hoard in a mountain pass that could hold 20 shoulder to shoulder of bipedial... things. Orcs, reminded me of Lord of the Rings. We had a line of silver warriors holding them back and a hoard of our own behind them, ready and waiting. We might have been closer to Infernal but we were certainly less evil. Among us, I had three friends, heroes, ones I knew well but sometimes their names slipped me.
As the line held, I cast Ice Storm multiple times a ways behind the front line, just spam casting it and my Mana Pool kept on high with all the kills I got (Vehumet) but a hole appeared in the line and one of them got through, a runner. Didn't look like an orc but more of a half-man, half creature of darkness but the line began to break and we (The Hoard) began to fight back. They charged and some came up to the wooden structure but me and the guys there fought back and I decided to hop off as we were getting overwhelmed.
We started to retreat but I slung a few more Ice Storms and a Freezing Cloud in the face of an oncoming Behemoth. There was also this guy, a beefy, stone golem of human size, throwing rocks veined in glowing orange. He threw one at me but I just caught it like one of those football gut passes. He threw another one so I quickly threw it back and caught the next. I just dropped it and started to backpedal into a hallway, but I stopped and waited for the other heroes, not content to leave them behind. At this point, the hoard was thinning out in the retreat as a few decided to hold the line and one of the heroes appeared. When the other two appeared, they were soon followed by a Wyvern's tornado breath (Wyvern was what I first thought of and it was like a horizontal tornado). I stood my ground, being blown back a bit and then just ran when my fellow heroes caught up.
I made it back to the hoard and we passed some theater doors into a wide, cathedral like center; a foyer, with a throne and it held all of us. I stationed myself near the second set of doors and a few fairy tale creatures and others held the hoard back at the first. We were prepared to close it and did so on the hands of a Pumpkin guy (Pumpkin Head, long, pointy fingers). His hands made it through but the doors clicked shut. We quickly tried to open them and got Megabyte through, saying we'll get his chair back. The Pumpkin Head went to take his place at the wall and we sealed the doors on the brave.
I walked around a bit, stepping carefully as I passed a Lesser Infernal near the throne. I looked outside at the heavy rain and thought of them surrounding us from the outside but didn't see any sign of a hoard moving in but someone mentioned how I'll be essential in fighting the reavers: flying, skinny, grey women with black hair and real sharp fingers. But I knew exactly what he meant and how I would fight.

I had a dream that the "zombie apocalypse" had happened, but it was more of an annoyance. A few "walkers" here and there, but nothing that couldn't be handled (I personally decapitated a few with a snow shovel against a wall). Even though people "looted" in the nicest possible way ever (taking what they needed, being relatively nice to their fellow man, stuff like that), it seemed like the normal thing to do. Yet, the electricity still worked and tv programs still aired. Still, it seemed to be necessary to put together the stuff that you would absolutely need, and it was unknown when or if things would go back to normal.
I woke up with the need to learn how to load and use a rifle.

Started off going to a friend's house, saying I released a new album and realized my name was Uncle Ruckus, with my first album named Rongo Bongo and my future one Tall People, with a picture of a tall, black basketball player. Another friend showed up and the three of us decided to go to an auditorium nearby for something.
There were a few people there, around 20 or so and someone strung on high, literally hanged from his neck. We sat in the middle of the auditorium with most of the people in the front. Before the stage was a table with a few guns on it and someone said for Dan to pick one up. Since he looked like Dan Smith from Killer7, I knew shit was going to go down as I remembered this scene from the game perfectly. When the guy on high came down, he was floating and approaching the people in the front, taking them out and Cyclops prepped up to fight him. When the hanged guy started to move, I started to run for the exit with my friends in tow.
When we left, I was alone on a suburban street across the street from a school. I asked someone where I could get to the nearest intersection and saw the street name, which was like "White Person Avenue" and the one at the end something similar. I was just thinking "Shit shit shit" when I asked the question and he looked at me funny, as if I was trouble. He gave me some directions and went on about some of the restrictions recently proposed for the population and I agreed on the last few, which seemed more reasonable than the others.
Then this lady comes up, says I had better run and that she's got some Mexicans on their way here. Instead of running down the street, I run through the outside of the school, on the field and past the corner of the school when I heard some shouting. I pulled out my revolver and when they turned the corner, I looked back while running and shot the first one that popped out in the head. I repeated that five times until I was able to run past the open gate in the fence. I continued down the street and it started to pour down. Pulled up my hood, ran past a van being filled with gangstas, finally holstered my gun (Held it close to my side when I stopped firing) and continued running down a few blocks and took a corner, believing that I lost them. I slowed to a jog and then a walk, breathing happily and strolled down the road while it rained.

In the May 25 letter to the editor, it was apparent that the letter writer could have used a more personable and Biblical approach to promote unity and respect. If unity and respect are truly the goals, then address the source of disrespect at the time of hearing the infraction or at least, directly afterwards. Otherwise, the intention of the "offender" may be assumed to be unlawful discrimination such as race, gender, age, ethnicity, etc.
The people who felt offended may have been focused on the information they were to present and therefore, did not inform the Jasper County Council chair that they were offended, and how they wished to be addressed. And likewise, the Jasper County Council chair may have been focused on the key issues of the agenda, simply forgot formality, and addressed the two presenters personally by their first names.
And shouldn't the goals also include promoting rapport? To be fair, the "offender" should have the opportunity to apologize in person. If the "offender" has personally or publicly refused to acknowledge any responsibility or to help solve the problem in his/her jurisdiction, then the citizens need to be informed through newspapers or television coverage. However, the situation in the May 25 issue could be solved by personally addressing the source, Jasper County Council chair, and thus promote unity, respect and rapport.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) The Los Angeles Angels have recalled infielder Grant Green from Triple-A Salt Lake.
The Angels sent reliever Dane De La Rosa back to Salt Lake on Friday.
Green batted .359 in 22 games with the Angels earlier this season, but was sent down June 7 after manager Mike Scioscia struggled to find playing time for him.
Green started at second base and in left field for the Angels. He also played third base and first base in the minors.
De La Rosa has an 11.57 ERA in three appearances for the Angels. He has missed 54 games this season with various right arm injuries.
Los Angeles optioned infielder Ian Stewart to Salt Lake. He had been on the disabled list since May 12 with a bruised left hand.

New Car Review
2013 Bentley Continental: Overview
Pros: Amazing torque gives acceleration at all speeds; New V8 allows for an easier jump from S-Class or 7 Series; Unique car that can be driven every day; All-wheel drive inspires confidence in northern climates
Cons: Even with V8, still expensive compared to Mercedes, BMW; Beautiful design starting to show its age after eight years; Coupe and convertible offer limited rear seat space
What's new: The big news for the 2013 Bentley Continental lineup is the addition of an entry-level V8 model. Currently only offered on GT coupe and GTC convertible models, it accompanies several styling revisions.
The Volkswagen-based Bentley Continental made its debut as a 2004 model. Initially offered only as the Continental GT, a two-door coupe, the Continental added a sedan model for 2006. Dubbed the Continental Flying Spur, it used the same engine and chassis as the coupe but added two doors. The soft top Continental GTC joined the lineup in 2007. In 2008, a high-performance "Speed" trim was added to each bodystyle, while an even sportier "SuperSports" model joined in 2010. It's offered as a coupe or a convertible.
For 2013, the two-door Continental GT and GTC models offer two trims. A new base-level model uses a 500-horsepower turbocharged V8 borrowed from the Audi S8. High-end W12 models retain last year's 6.0-liter turbocharged W12. It now produces 567 horsepower instead of 552. The 2013 Flying Spur did not add a V8 model for 2013 pending the arrival of an all-new version for the 2014 model year. All Continental models include all-wheel drive. V8 models use an eight-speed automatic, while an eight-speed is paired to the W12.
The 2013 Bentley Continental GT is priced from $176,000, while the GTC starts at $193,000. It costs about $20,000 to add a W12 to either model. The W12-only Continental Flying Spur sedan starts around $185,000.

Wright State University: Christian Group Banned from Campus
March 2, 2009
Wright State University has agreed to grant recognition to the Campus Bible Fellowship (CBF) for the 2009-2010 academic year, reversing its previous decision to rescind the CBF's official club recognition because of its requirement that voting members "accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior," among other faith-based requirements written into the club's constitution. Despite the CBF's thirty-year presence on Wright State's campus, the university removed the club's official recognition for its failure to include required "non-discrimination" language in its constitution. After FIRE wrote Wright State President David R. Hopkins, reminding him that this policy violated the CBF's constitutional rights to […]» Read More

University reverses; recognizes Christian student group
June 24, 2009
By OneNewsNow.com A university in Ohio has reversed its decision concerning a Christian student group. In early 2009, Campus Bible Fellowship was told by Wright State University it was no longer recognized as an official student organization and could no longer meet on campus. According to the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), the decision was made because the club required its officers to subscribe to the club's faith statement. "It was essentially like telling a Christian student organization that it couldn't require Christians to lead the group or be voting members.

Here's another case of intolerance on the part of a university – supposedly a place where free expression and divergent opinions are welcome. Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, has banned the Campus Bible Fellowship from meeting on campus because of its requirement that voting members be Christian and its refusal to accept "nondiscrimination" language that would eliminate faith-based standards for its voting members. Never mind that students pay a hefty tuition for which they rightfully expect access to campus facilities. And never mind that the families of in-state students have paid lots of taxes to build and maintain those […]» Read More

Fellowship banned for requiring voting members be Christians

Upon seeking re-registration for 2009, however, the university denied the Bible group's access to facilities, student club fairs, advertising venues and recruiting opportunities – essentially blacklisting the club – because of CBF's requirement that voting members adhere to a doctrinal statement and "accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior."

Victory for Religious Liberty at Wright State University: Christian Group Regains Recognition
June 22, 2009
Today's press release announces another victory for religious liberty and freedom of conscience on campus. Late last week, we learned that Wright State University was finally granting full recognition to a Christian student group that wanted to limit voting membership to others who shared the group's deeply held beliefs. The group, Christian Bible Fellowship (CBF), could not in good faith include in its constitution the nondiscrimination language required by Wright State. After all, as a Christian organization, the group was "discriminating" on the basis of religion, and Wright State was refusing to grant a religious exemption to the group. Despite […]» Read More

March 3, 2009
FIRE's case at Wright State is big news today as a featured story, under the heading "We're Good for Now," on FoxNews.com! (Here's the permanent link for when it's moved off the front page.)

Wright State University Bans Christian Group from Campus
March 2, 2009
DAYTON, Ohio, March 2, 2009—Wright State University has banned a Christian group from meeting on campus because of its requirement that voting members be Christian and its refusal to accept "nondiscrimination" language that would eliminate faith-based standards for its voting members.
