Both units have performed well and our customers always come back happy with the way these machines perform. Strong machine and easy to operate is always a winning combination."By: Dale Younger, A&J Equipment Rental – North Wilkesboro, NCOverall Rating: "I was asked to help out on a rock bore in 2016, and when things got difficult, DWOTC came in to help. The shot took 2-3 months, 10 bits, losing the product twice and DWOTC stuck it out with me. Their perseverance was significant, so I bought their machine (JT60). Just a week ago, I had to go out on another jobsite and I demo'd their JT100. They sent out sales rep, Jason Worley and Mechanic, Tim Hager to the site and these guys really worked hard. The competitor's mud reclaimer wasn't working properly and Jason and Tim offered suggestions that eventually got the unit working. Without DWOTC's knowledge and experience, I probably wouldn't have completed the job. They went way above and beyond what I expected and their dedication keeps me obligated to Ditch Witch."By: Tim Victory, Victory Infrastructure – Marshville, NCOverall Rating: "The decision on our purchase had nothing to do with the brand – it had everything to do with the DWOTC staff and team." – Scott Loggins, One Tone Telecom, SC"Agreed. For me, it was the commitment that the entire staff made. Dale Jenkins (Trenchless Specialist) and Blake Hamm (HDD/Utility Equipment Sales) really pitched in together and made us comfortable with the equipment. DWOTC has done a good job focusing on the product and providing good support with HDD training & the Training Center. They worked with us on a good price for our drill package and provided a TOTAL solution, which is what sets them apart from anyone else." – Mike Powell, One Tone Telecom, SCBy: Scott Loggins & Mike Powell – One Tone Telecom, SCOverall Rating: "I purchase Velocity Drilling Fluids from Ditch Witch of the Carolinas and this product cleans the hole very well. It's 80% less mess, no debris, no slippery bore gel & no residue. It looks so much better and the cuttings just fall out of the hole. It's cheaper, cleaner, easier to handle and I've been recommending it to other contractors."By: Jim Gregory – Utility Construction Concepts, NCOverall Rating: "I just wanted to take a moment to say just how much I appreciated your parts representative Ted M helping to find a part for me! I didn't give you much to go on and you went above and beyond to assist me and it did not go unnoticed nor unappreciated! KUDO's to you!

I had sent two of my guys into the Simpsonville store to get prices on equipment. He had a 1550 machine with him and because he had a few extra minutes he stopped by my office to show me the machine.

What sold us was the demonstration at our home. Since then it has proven itself invaluable – truly the right machine for what we needed. As impressive as the SK850 is(which we nicknamed Humpy), more impressive is the service we've received from Garrett Poe (our sales person) to Chris Skipper (in parts) to Eric Kijewski (in service).

At the end of the 90's beginning of the 00's, the epicenter of custom bike building shifted from the USA to Europe, imposing – thanks to its German, Austrian and Swiss builders – a large quantity of drag style inspired creations. And now, members of the custom motorcycle industry are looking at fresh building ideas coming from young builders in Asia. Customs built from Japanese and Indian brands, but also more and more crafted from our 2 American big brands, Harley and Indian, old and new models. For reasons unknown or purely accidental, Greater Jakarta in Indonesia, – the second largest urban agglomeration in the world with a population of 31 million – is where a concentration of young talents can be found. Particularity, the preferred styles in this region of the globe seem to be the low Chopper and Cafe Racer. Styles somewhat more appropriate to confront the crazy Asian street traffic congestion, and well adapted to locals morphology.
Thrive Motorcycles belongs to this small elite of Asian group of builders making a worldwide statement by celebrating Harley's race heritage and attitude with different lines and details rarely seen on customs of well known builders. This project is based on a 2000 Sportster XL 1200 Evo motor directly imported from the USA. So many Sportsters have been customized that the challenge for duo Indra Pratama and Barata Dwiputra was to build a bike looking different, pushing its racing attitude to the edge but without in any way compromising reliability…
Because of distance and cost, Asian builders are rarely present in the US and Europe participating to bike shows. But the great one-day Japanese show of Yokohama is a fabulous source of inspiration for those working in this region of the globe. There, Thrive Motorcycles saw great samples of the best Japanese chops and came back to their shop convinced that they could create their own timeless style. And it tool them 2 years to complete this creation… Frame wizard Andi at Brodonolo Custom Garage in Central Java was ordered the bike foundation. Then Thrive got started with the all-aluminum bodywork. It includes a one-off tail-end/rear fender, the unusual finned gas tank, the cute mini fairing, the oil tank and the electric box.
Forks were chopped to look thin and add a sense of cleanliness. For the same reason, the 21" front wheel is brakeless. In front, this Sportster rolls on Avon Speedmaster and in the rear on classic ribbed Firestone on a 18" wheel. Rear braking is a chain conversion from a Softail adapted to the one-off frame. A chain tensioner was installed and made, like often on custom bikes, with a skateboard wheel. For a very neat look, cabling is internal running through the bars equipped with Mooneyes grips. The shop fabricated its own shifter/pegs. Running lights/turn signals are recessed inside rear frame tubes. Frame is black powder coated, with body work spray painted in Sapphire Blue and Silver.

DesJarlais among six congressmen on reported Hodgkinson 'assassination list'
Tennessee's Rep. Scott DesJarlais' name was on a handwritten list of six Republican congressmen – all members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus — found in the van of James Hodgkinson, the slain shooter who wounded Rep. Steven Scalise and five others on Wednesday.
The Daily Caller initially reported the FBI's discovery of the note late Friday. Multiple other media outlets have followed with similar reports.
Besides DesJarlais, Fox News says those on the "assassination list" were Republican Reps. Trent Franks of Arizona, Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, Jim Jordan of Ohio, Mo Brooks of Alabama and Morgan Griffith of Virginia.
Further from Fox:
The FBI has contacted the congressmen to inform them of their inclusion on the list. Rep. Franks confirmed to Fox News that law enforcement officials have told him he is on the list.
"For those still wondering, he didn't hate baseball or beautiful summer mornings in June," White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said in reference to this article. "He hated Republicans."
Brooks told CNN that he was contacted by Capitol Police and told his name and office number were on the list. Brooks said the list was short and the other names he was told of were also GOP congressmen. Brooks says he is "advising my office personnel and friends to be extra wary in my presence."
No comment from DesJarlais on the list has been reported in the media as of Saturday morning, though he had talked previously about the shooting. Sample from WKRN-TV:
"On the House floor where we were just a little bit ago, with Speaker Ryan and Nancy Pelosi addressing the House, it is a unified mood right now… "People were shocked that this happened. I spoke with a number of my colleagues that were at the baseball field this morning and it was pretty chaotic. They said that there are lots of shots being fired and they were trying to take cover. They were just very grateful that there was someone there to return fire in the form of the security detail and capital police otherwise we are certain there would have been much more damage and probably several lives lost."
DesJarlais came into office shortly before Gabby Giffords was shot in 2011.
"She was in the same class as me and that incident shook all of us. There was a lot of divide within the country, and right now we are seeing the same thing so it does remind us to be vigilant when we are out in the public," he said.

``Despite the introduction of new accounting standards, the vast majority of state and local governments continue to understate their pension costs and liabilities by relying on investment return assumptions of 7-8 percent per year... I find that as of FY 2015 accrued unfunded liabilities of U.S. state and local pension systems are at least $3.846 trillion, or 2.8 times more than the value reflected in government disclosures. Furthermore, while total government employer contributions to pension systems were $111 billion in 2015, or 4.9 percent of state and local government own revenue, the true annual cost of keeping pension liabilities from rising would be approximately $289 billion or 12.7 percent of revenue.

Object of Desire: Manfrotto Windsor Collection
February 17, 2017
Like Basil Fawlty, this new bag line hopes to add a touch of class to your outings. Unlike the bumbling Brit, however, the Windsor succeeds at achieving an elegant form while retaining its function. The backpack is built around a system of interchangeable, modular dividers that can be folded out of the way of larger gear or pulled out completely to make room for personal items. The bag can house a professional DSLR with a 70-200mm f/2.8 attached, plus a pair of additional lenses and accessories. There's also a padded interior compartment that can house a 15-inch laptop. The outside features a water-repellant fabric and leather trim. You can attach a tripod via the exterior connection points. The Windsor is sized to fit domestic airline carry-on regulations. If you like the Windsor styling but aren't in the market for a backpack, there's also a reporter bag that can house a medium-sized DSLR with a 24-70mm lens attached, a 70-200mm and two additional lenses alongside a 13-inch laptop. There are two messenger-style bags as well in small and medium sizes that can hold a tablet and 15-inch laptop, respectively.
Price: starting at $120

text: Recent developments in identifying Lagrangian coherent structures from finite-time velocity data have provided a theoretical basis for understanding chaotic transport in general flows with aperiodic dependence on time. As these theoretical developments are extended and applied to more complex flows, an accurate and general numerical method for computing these structures is needed to exploit these ideas for engineering applications. We present an unstructured high-order hp/spectral-element method for solving the two-dimensional compressible form of the Navier-Stokes equations. A corresponding high-order particle tracking method is also developed for extracting the Lagrangian coherent structures from the numerically computed velocity fields. Two different techniques are used; the first computes the direct Lyapunov exponent from an unstructured initial particle distribution, providing easier resolution of structures located close to physical boundaries, whereas the second advects a small material line initialized close to a Lagrangian saddle point to delineate these structures. We demonstrate our algorithm on simulations of a bluff-body flow at a Reynolds number of Re = 150 and a Mach number of M = 0.2 with and without flow forcing. We show that, in the unforced flow, periodic vortex shedding is predicted by our numerical simulations that is in stark contrast to the aperiodic flow field in the case with forcing. An analysis of the Lagrangian structures reveals a transport barrier that inhibits cross-wake transport in the unforced flow. The transport barrier is broken with forcing, producing enhanced transport properties by chaotic advection and consequently improved mixing of advected scalars within the wake.

I love these shoes (the D'Lites). I finally figured out that because Sketchers doesn't make them in a women's size 10.5 I could buy the women's 10 in WIDE and although they are a pinch shorter than what I would like, they do fit, without being too wide. The 11's are just plain too big for me.
SKETCHERS: Please consider adding Women's 10.5 to this line of shoes. Or, if you do make them, please make them more widely available because I can't find them.

I love Shechers shoes. I usually buy a new pair every year. I just purchased the gray and pink D'lites. When trying them on, the left one seemed to be smaller than the right one. The quality of this pair doesn't seem to be as high as the other pairs I own. Not sure if the material is different or what, but they are definitely not as nice as the other pairs. Definitely not impressed with this pair of Skechers.

Do you have questions about this shoe?
Get answers from SKECHERS customers or our in-house shoe expert.
Q:Does this sneaker give ankle support? Is there another sneaker that gives better ankle support? Thanks!
1 answer
A:The D'Lites sneakers have good ankle support with a full collar and supportive panels. You may also like a high top sneaker such as the Hi-Lites designs for added ankle support.
Q:I have been looking for the women's Synergy Elite shoe in wide. Are they no longer available? Will they be coming back, soon?
1 answer
A:The Synergy - Elite Status in white is still available in a Wide Fit, along with several other Synergy models such as the Spot On, Trend Setter and Positive Outcome.
Q:Recovering from a broken foot. Doctor recommends transitioning out of my medical boot into a stiff, very structured athletic shoe. She mentioned Skechers. Went I went to local Skecher store today, they recommended the D'Lites. But do not carry them in inventory. Which type of D'lite would be the best in terms of structure and support - not flexible in the sole at all. Thank you
1 answer
A:I would recommend the D'Lites or a similar structured sneaker design. The newer D'Lites such as the Me Time have a bit more comfort in the shoe due to the Air Cooled Memory Foam insole. I can also recommend the Encore or Energy models.
Q:When will the D'lites come back out with a non-lace up shoe? I have had those in the past and LOVE them! I have trouble tying my shoes and they were perfect :)
1 answer
A:There are some slip on and backless D'Lites models coming out very soon - lots of new looks in this classic sneaker are coming in the next month or two.
Q:Last time I went to my local shoe store, I was told that my d'lites were no longer being made. This was just a few months ago. I see, in June, you said they're returning very soon. It's September, so are they available now? I really need a new pair and I don't want to waste my money on shoes I don't like.
1 answer
A:There are several new models of Skechers D'Lites currently available on skechers.com with more models, both new and old, coming soon. The Centennial is in stock, and the Extreme is coming back soon.
Q:how much does this style of shoe weigh?
1 answer
A:The D'Lites should weigh about 7 to 9 oz. per shoe depending on size, nicely light weight.
Q:Have been wearing D'lites for years and love them. Lately have not been able to find them anywhere and on this site they seem to always be out of stock. SO, I have been forced to purchase a different Skecher which I hate. The D'lites are comfortable and offer support. My back doesn't bother me when wearing these shoes but with the other pair with the memory foam and little heal my back hurts all the time. Those shoes I'd like return but too late. :(
1 answer
A:The good news is that D'Lites are coming back into stock, and in new designs as well, very soon on Skechers.com.
Q:I love this shoe but it would be perfect with memory foam insoles. Is there any chance of that happening any time soon? I hate the ones you buy yourself and put in the shoe.
1 answer
A:Yes! The popularity of the classic D'Lites models has prompted Skechers to start making new models of the D'Lites shoes, all of which are coming with Memory Foam insoles. Look for several new D'Lites models coming soon to skechers.com.
Q:Does this shoe come in stone/turquoise or the stone/brown color?
1 answer
A:While this specific model of the older D'Lites shoe is only available in the colors shown currently, there are more D'Lites models coming soon with lots of different color choices.
Q:Are they doing away with the D'lites style? I have looked on your web site and they never have my size. I have looked in many stores and been told they no longer carry that style. Please tell you still make them and they still come in a size six. Thank you.
1 answer
A:The D'Lites are a somewhat older shoe design, but it sells well on skechers.com - the good news is that there is going to be a revival of the D'Lites design very soon with several new shoes coming. The Centennial and Extreme models appear to be coming back into stock around mid to late June as well.

I have a 11 year old black lab named Shiloh who has been slowing down a little over the past year. He just has a little trouble getting up after resting, sometimes limps after our walks, and seems kind of depressed. I took him to Dr. King for a physical and a blood test screening (which was normal, so thats a relief) to see if there was anything I could do or give him to help. I was kind of expecting a prescription or something and honnestly wasn't a big fan of drugging him up if we could help it. So after talking all this over with her, she told me about VOM and cold laser therapy. VOM is like doggie chiropractics, and the way she explained it, its a pain free stimulation of nerves down the spinal column to help any back bones that can be out of allignment. Just like us, over time their bodies can get out of whack and need adjusting. The cold laser was pretty neat too. It's suppose to relieve pain and generate healing without needing drugs so I said lets do it! Shiloh's been in for his scheduled visits for about 2 months now and I can tell he's feeling pretty good! He has an easier time moving around and started getting more playful again! Granted he is 11 with arthritis problems, so he's still a bit slower than he was 3 years ago, but I can just tell he feels better! His actions speak volumes and his attitude is brighter! I would recommend these treatments to anyone with an older pet, and so would Shiloh.

ABOUT THIS PIECE: "This particular series is a an homage to photographs taken with film. They are the result of an aberration of light passing through a locked shutter and the camera failing to advance because it's the last frame on the roll of film. This inability to advance while light continues to seep through is what creates the beautifully organic blending of colors."-Karl Wolfgang
ABOUT THIS ARTIST: Karl Wolfgang is a an LA based photographer. A fan of film based photography, Karl experiments and pushes the limits set by using film. All of his beautiful abstract images are chosen for their organic and ethereal connection to nature.
PACKAGING: 30x40" and 40x60" prints are shipped in a special fortified tube to guard against bending or damage. Framed 30x40" prints are shipped via FedEx in a bespoke cardboard box with a fitted interior armature for the frame. We do not frame the extra large, 40x60" print sizes because they are too large to ship without risking damage.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: ArtStar ships unframed prints internationally via DHL. The international shipping cost does not include the tax & duties, which will be the responsibility of the customer. Unfortunately, because of the high shipping cost we do not ship framed prints internationally at this time.

W7 Ultimate x64/W10 Pro x64 dual boot main build-remote pc W10 Pro x64 Insider Preview/W7 Pro x64
I don't lose any emails since I login online to the inbox there even while still seeing the WLMail installed locally on the drive. Anything like downloads go to three separate identical folders on 3 separate HDs in case one of the drives should fail I still have everything backed up already.
The two main storage drives look identical when looking over all files and folders. But this is on a desktop allowing for more drives to begin with. For the old Vista build in use by a friend the main drive failed and saw an Acronis image restored on the new replacement drive while that person still needs to learn how to back things up on a second drive there set aside for storage and backup purposes since he is out his photos unless they can still be retrieved with the drive in an external enclosure. The funtionality as far as Windows was gone however mostly due to age and wear.
The idea of maintaining a full system image was illustrated right there when a drive became unusable. Besides teaching someone how to manually back things up to be on the safe side at all times the image bailed him out fast once the new drive was in rather then what he ran into when his own old XP case fell apart literally when hardwares there stufed up on him! When you don't have a backup program scheduled the good ole "copy + Paste" can still save the day as some have to learn the hard way however.

If I rarely added data and had frequent changes to the OS/programs, then having them separated would save time. In my case, I make few changes to the OS (other than updates and they can be reupdated) and I frequently add data and change existing data. That is a large chunk of the HDD that is affected so keeping data and the OS/programs wouldn't make a significant change in the amount of time it takes me to make backups (actually, none since I backup everything). Where it does save time is when one needs to restore the OS/program partition. I have needed to do that only three times in my life.

Many simply opt to wipe the main drive yearly to end up with a fresh registry when the clean install goes on as well as reduction of a lot of clutter on the drive. Here I create an image following the fresh install once all programs and updates are on and then may simply restore that image several months later. I ran the last restored image from Oct. 2010 to June 2012 without any issues!
Incremental backups or just simple copy and paste of files and even folders at times or multiple downloads for the same thing on separate drives(in case of a bad download try the next!) is how to keep up if you are not creating replacement images or keeping more then one onhand over time to prevent losses. A copy and paste is a one on one each time where you can verify the copied file or folder afterwards.

Let's assume you mean image then my view, particularly when you haven't done a system image restore, is to use two programs. I have done many restores and still use two: Inbuilt Windows and the free version of Macrium Reflect. I've used both without any problems. Be aware that some people do have issues with Windows inbuilt so I would not rely solely on it. If you want only one I would choose Macrium which also happens to be more flexible.
When you can afford the $ buy another sata drive (=or> than your existing HDD) and restore to it and then you will gain some confidence in your imaging software.
Now THERE'S an interesting idea!
I've never tried imaging till just recently and that was with W7 Backup. I've wondered the same thing, how it will work if and when I need it. Right now my image is on an exterior HD.
Put an image on a second built in HDD and restore to that. Hmmm.
Thanks for the idea mjf!

Has anyone else had problems restoring Win7 backup image to a replacement HD? This advice has been given here for years as valid without any reports it failed until recently.
Since the backup image might well be needed to replace a failed HD, this would seem to rule out Win7 backup imaging but I'd like to hear more about others experience with re-imaging to a replacement HD with it. I use Acronis myself, although help others use Win7 backup imaging frequently to same HD.

My incremental backups are less than half the size that they used to be.
This is because I have cut down on the frequency of imaging the 750 MB of used space in D:\.
This has more drastic changes to the content of Disk Sectors than my 11.5 GB used space of Windows 7 Ultimate.
D:\ is where I keep things like my browser profile.
I update my backup on D:\ only when I have updated browser Addons / Plugins etc.
If D:\ was corrupted and I restored a 2 month old backup,
I still have the latest versions of xMarks and LastPass and they will sync from their servers and I will then regain the bookmarks and passwords that I created last night.
I just accept that urlclassifier3.sqlite is a couple of months out of date,
but it will get updated automatically before I click on any unsafe links.

After numerous images on two totally separate systems 1)Vista/XP build used to test and first to see 7 retail and 2)present build I've never run into any problem using the backup options in 7. In fact I tested dual boots when first restoring a 7 made image and afterwards one made with Acronis just to try that idea out and each image restored with ease.
I have been using Acronis more often however since it will compress things down in size as far as how much drive space each new image will take. With the 7 option there's about a 1-2% compression compared to ondrive space used up as to the 15-20% compression rate seen with Acronis there. With the 7 option however you can start the restoration process without the need for the 7 dvd or repair tools cd since the restoration tool will automatically load itself into memory when the system restarts itself once started up while in the Control Panel>Backup & Restore.
The usual causes for any problematic image are a tainted volume on the drive the image is to be created and stored on when it comes time to restore the image. And even more common running a demanding app while the image is being created at the same time which can cause a few hiccups as a result when the program accesses the same parts of the drive the backup tool is accessing for the image. Av programs and firewalls can also hamper the creation of a new image at times.

Windows 7 Backup is fine, though too limited in what it will do. I strongly suggest that you avoid Paragon and Acronis, which IMHO are little more than camouflaged gateways to tech support hell. They do not work properly, they do not work as documented, and they will not make you happy.

I had some problems with restoring file backup from windows 7 backup created backups, lost about 25% of data. Altough I sometimes do image restore created on my windows 7 WM to test it and it works without problems.
now I use windows backup for system images and data.. and also use file sync tool for data on one more separate disk so two separate backup disks and two backups, but now when large HDDs are cheap data has much more value than HDD.

The Difference Between a Shiite and Sunni Muslim
Stories about Iraq have dominated the international portion of US media for the last two years. Yet, trying to understand what is going on in Iraq from these stories is all but impossible unless you only wanted the bare minimum of information.
Take, for example, the news of the recent Iraqi election. Most news-following people would be able tell me who won the election yet, I am willing to bet that only a few would be able to tell me why. And, even less would be able to tell me the difference between a Shiite and a Sunni Muslim, despite the frequent use of both words in almost every story.
For a period of time after the US invasion of Iraq I chose to adopt a policy of ignorant disapproval of the war, based on my feelings that it was none of our damn business and that I personally was against it. As time went by, however, I realized that this stance was not much difference than ignorant approval, which I personally detested.
So, I began to read the newspaper again, subscribing to the notion that knowledge was power and hoping to educate myself on that part of the world. Except, the stories were kind of hard to understand if you wanted anything more than the facts with only a minimum of context. I did. What use was it to me to know that the Shiites had won the election when I had no idea what a Shiite was? What use was it for me to know that Saddam Hussein was a Sunni, when I had no idea was a Sunni was?
When I was in journalism school, I learned that most American newspapers were written at the reading level of the average 6 th to 8th grader. Which, theoretically, meant that the content should make sense to the average 12 to 14-year-old child. Suddenly, not only was I ignorant, I was also feeling rather stupid. How was it that I, a 30-year-old woman with a college education and more world travel experience than 90% of my fellow citizens couldnt properly follow a newspaper story?
I determined to figure out why. But first I had to find out: What IS the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite Muslim? Is it the same as a Catholic Christian vs. a Lutheran Christian? Or, is it more along the lines of a European American vs. an African American? Is the difference genetic, political, religious or philosophical?
To properly explain, we have to go back in time to Muhammad. I am talking about THE Muhammad the man that all Muslims believe to be the prophet of Allah (the Arabic world for the one and only God). Muhammad founded Islam in the seventh century, and created a theocracy in Medina, located in what is now Saudi Arabia. During Muhammads day, there was only one kind of Muslim much like in the days of Jesus there was only one kind of Christian. Like Christianity before it, Islam spread through different regions, peoples and cultures. And like Christianity, Islam was a uniting religious force among previously non-united people.
After Muhammads death, however, Islam split into two groups the minority Shiites (about 10% of Muslims today) and the majority Sunnis (about 90% of Muslims today).
Here is where things get a bit murky in my various sources. I quite honestly had a hard time finding information that wasnt either a Christian-based discussion of differences that ended in and this is why Christianity is great! or a distinctly Shiite or Sunni-prejudiced viewpoint. However, the following appears to be true: According to the Sunnis, prior to Muhammads death, he chose from his followers four caliphs (by definition, a successor to Muhammad) to continue to spread the word kind of like Jesus apostles but with the added bonus of political power too.
According to the Shiites, however, Muhammad actually chose only one of those caliphs, a man named Ali, as his legitimate heir. The Shiites also considered Ali to be an Imam, which is like a caliph but one who is considered to be infallible. Christianity has a similar parallel. The Roman Catholic Christians believe that the Pope is infallible, yet other sects of Christianity dont agree.
Complications, especially with regards to Iraq arise when you realize that while the majority of Muslims in the world are Sunni, the majority of the Muslims in Iraq are Shiites. This is also true in neighboring Iran, as well as Lebanon. And, when you toss in the fact that for years, Shiites were persecuted, and for years, Iraq was rules by Saddam Hussein, a minority Sunni, you begin to understand why the differences, especially with regards to the election becomes important.
So, why isnt any of this information included in the newspaper articles? Is it too difficult to find unbiased information? Is it too hard for people to comprehend? Is it not considered relevant to a predominantly Christian country? Or, do people just not care?
The conspiracy theorist inside of me thinks that our government doesnt want people to know too much because too much knowledge can be dangerous to power. The elitist inside of me thinks that since most newspaper stories are written for the least common denominator of people most of who dont read past the comics and the sports pages that editors dont think it really matters. The cynic inside of me thinks that by explaining and making the (easy) comparisons to something we already know (Christianity) it would be adding a human factor to what some people want to keep as inhuman.
The truth is, I dont know why the information is not included. Maybe journalists assume that we should know these things already, and as such, they dont need to be included in the stories. But, even in my own very informal polling of my friends, no one could tell me the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite. So, do we blame the media, for educating us partially, but not all the way? For telling us what we ought to know and believe, without the necessary context to help us make up our own mind?
I suspect it is the readers who are to blame as much as the media. We are taught from a young age that the answers are what is important, not the questions. In school, we study so we can pass the tests, so we can get more answers right than answers wrong. The why is very rarely a part of the equation. But, what happens when someone asks a question where you cant offer a quick confident answer?
I wonder is the quest for more than the cocktail hour amount of knowledge too much in a world where we are already bombarded nearly ever minute of every day with some kind of information? Has this overwhelming sensory overload caused us to become apathetic, willing to take what we are given and be satisfied with it?
I dont know the answers. Im just asking the questions.

Gentrification vs. Revitalization
APA California Chapter, San Diego Section
Friday, February 19, 2016
noon - 1:30 p.m. PST
San Diego, CA, United States
CM | 1.50Add to My Log
As the San Diego region grows, many local public agencies have turned to smart growth and infill development that are helping to revitalize challenged neighborhoods. However, one of the effects of this revitalization has been gentrification, loosely defined as an urban demographic trend where increased property values results in the involuntary displacement of low-income/minority residents and small businesses. This trend has been seen in varying degrees in neighborhoods throughout the San Diego region from as far north as Eden Gardens in Solana Beach to the central San Diego neighborhoods of North Park and Barrio Logan.
How can we as planners, community leaders, and land use professionals revitalize and invest in these challenged neighborhoods without pricing the original residents and small businesses out? How can we balance the positive effects of revitalization (e.g., improved infrastructure, beautification)? Join the San Diego section of the APA to discuss these challenges and hear from local experts on specific planning policies designed to help solve these challenges. The panel will discuss innovative approaches, such as inclusionary housing, density bonuses, owner-occupancy ordinances, increasing supply, and public-private partnerships.

From the Orthodox Study Bible (Old Testament): On Mt. Sinai Moses received not only the Ten Commandments, but also precise and detailed instructions for building the tabernacle – a moveable tent – where God met the assembly of the people Israel (Ex 25:1-27:21). Consequently, the tabernacle is built according to the divine blueprints (Ex 35:4-40:33). Here God's Presence, His Glory, will be made manifest through the shining cloud filling the holy place (Ex 40:34-38).
The importance of God's Presence in the tabernacle is apparent in the prayers of the Psalms, which express a longing to be with God, a fervent desire to be in His tabernacle (Pss 26:4-6; 60:4; 64:4; 83:1-4, 10; see also 22:6; 25:8). Indeed, the Lord promises that at the tabernacle, "I shall be known to you to speak to you. There I shall give directions to the children of Israel, and I shall be sanctified in My glory" (Ex 29:42-43; see also Ezk 37:26-28). While the tabernacle is the specific place where God was encountered in Israel, this did not exhaust His Presence, for as Almighty God, He has always been everywhere present, filling all things.
Israel's most sacred objects were kept in the ark of the covenant, located in the holy of holies (Heb 9:2-5). Each object it held was prophetic of Christ: the tablets of the Law inscribed by God (Ex 25:15) prefigure Christ the Lawgiver; the manna (Ex 16:31-34) points to Christ as the Bread of Life (Jn 6:30-58); and Aaron's staff that budded (Nm 17:16-26) prefigures the life-giving Cross of Christ. Further, the veil separating the holy place from the holy of holies foreshadows the Incarnation (Heb 10:19, 20).
The tabernacle as a whole prefigures Christ, the eternal Word of God, who "became flesh and tabernacled (the usual English translation is 'dwelt') among us" (Jn 1:14; see also Col 2:9). St. Gregory of Nyssa observes, "Moses was earlier instructed by a type in the mystery of the tabernacle, which encompasses the universe. This tabernacle would be Christ, who is the power and the wisdom of God (1Co 1:24)." The tabernacle also prefigures Mary the Theotokos, whose womb will be the tabernacle in which the Lord will dwell as He takes His flesh from her.
On the cross, Jesus offers the ultimate sacrifice of His body, which the New Testament calls "the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands" (Heb 9:11). St. John Chrysostom comments that by this greater tabernacle St. Paul "means the flesh [of Christ]. And well did he say, 'greater and more perfect,' since God the Word and all the power of the Spirit dwell therein."
In time, the moveable tabernacle of the wilderness is superseded by the permanent temple in Jerusalem. The temple, in turn, is superseded by Christ (Jn 2:18-21) and the Church, which is His Body (Eph 1:22, 23). Moreover, in Baptism every Christian becomes a tabernacle, a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. As St. Paul exclaims, "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?" (1Co 6:19). St. Isaac of Nineveh declares, "Lord, I give you praise to Your holy nature, for You have made my nature a sanctuary for Your hiddenness, a tabernacle for Your Mysteries, a place where You can dwell, and a holy temple for Your divinity."
In his vision of the kingdom of heaven, St. John writes, "But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple" (Rev 21:22). All earthly types vanish as the redeemed behold God and the Lamb in unmediated glory (2Pt 1:4). The ultimate promise of the tabernacle, the temple and the Church is for God Himself to dwell in each believer forever (Jn 14:16, 17, 23; 17:20-23; see also Rev 3:20).

EVANSTON, Ill. – It made sense that on a gloomy, gray morning, Northwestern announced the firing of men's basketball coach Bill Carmody. Despite leading the program to unprecedented levels of success — including four National Invitation Tournament bids — Carmody never brought the Wildcats to an N.C.A.A tournament.
Jim Phillips, the Wildcats' athletic director, laid out his ultimate selling point for Carmody's potential successor during an emotional news conference, during which the normally cool and confident Phillips appeared tense and tired.
"In the end it is about hope. Why does the past have to dictate our future?" Phillips said, rejecting the notion the Wildcats' next coach would have the same fate as the previous 11 Northwestern coaches – a losing record.
The decision came with much controversy. Carmody had a 192-210 overall record, having lifted the program from complete irrelevance to a respectability. Fans, students and alumni are seemingly split down the middle about whether the coach deserved to go. The timing of the decision, after this season as opposed to a year earlier, also raised some eyebrows.
Many argue that Carmody coached brilliantly this season and deserved one more chance with a loaded (by Northwestern standards) roster next season. Others will say Carmody had 13 years to prove he could take the team to the next level and didn't.
There is little doubt Carmody extracted every drop from a desert-dry roster obliterated by injuries this season, and did so with class and respect. He also failed to reach the destination desired by his bosses.
So now, Northwestern's attention pivots from the debate over the decision to the future of the program. The next coach won't be expected to make the tournament next season, so he can focus on a long-term plan.
But the elements of Carmody's failure are important to the program's future. It is a fair question to ask if he was hamstrung by the athletic facilities, even if it's one Philips is clearly fed up with answering.
Phillips would love to upgrade basketball, but with all the hand-wringing that went into the Wildcats' new lakeside football facility, there may not be any support left for more sports money. In reality, many Northwestern alums – and donors – don't care much for sports.
But with the school's new lakeside facility benefiting many sports while the basketball gym still awaits a video scoreboard, it is clear basketball will never operate on the same plane as the much more popular football program.
As for recruiting, a new coach will not only be able to sell hope, but perhaps a new style of basketball. Crowds at Welsh-Ryan Arena were sparse, or made up of opposing fans, the last few seasons, which is perhaps an indictment of Carmody's Princeton offense.
But the debate over Carmody went on for too long. He was loved by his players, respected by his peers and Iauded for his character. Now that his tenure is over, Northwestern looks for a replacement who can deliver the tournament bid Carmody never could.
Rohan Nadkarni is the sports editor at The Daily Northwestern. He can be followed on Twitter (@Rohan_NU).
An earlier version of this article misstated the number of N.I.T. appearances Bill Carmody had made as Northwestern's coach.

My endocrinologist said that the prep work may make my sodium levels too low. This is because, as you know, I have to take my medicine to absorb any liquid. So when you prepare the colonoscopy you need to drink a lot of liquid. My endocrinologist is concerned that my kidneys will work to absorb this liquid and therefore lower the serum sodium to dangerous levels.
He wants me to be admitted into a hospital so that they can monitor my urine output so that I can match the liquid I drink to the amount that I pee out.
Has anyone with CDI had a colonoscopy? If you have had one, what prep did you do so that your electrolytes remained balanced?
Thanks so much for your help.

Understand that this is when funds are disbursing to the Bursar's Office, NOT when you will receive residual funds. The Bursar's Office will then post that aid to your account. There are thousands of account transactions, so it will take time to post all the transactions to students' accounts.
Some financial aid programs (such as the Kentucky KEES and TEACH Grant) have later disbursement dates. If you are enrolled in all special or second-half courses, you will not have your aid reviewed for disbursement until you actually begin classes.

Site Specific Design
Most homes in America are designed without any consideration to the site and are not orientated to benefit from beautiful views or passive solar possibilities. Conventional homes often appear to have fallen randomly from the sky. We at Greenovision assess all of the site's attributes and design our homes to fit into the environment rather than fight it. With proper design, a home can both be benefited and protected from natural elements such as sun, wind, rain, snow, trees, slopes, etc. Beautiful attributes such as views, wildlife, and sunlight can be maximized and enjoyed from every part of the home. Unnatural or unpleasant attributes of the home site such as an ugly neighboring house, a noisy street, or unsightly power lines can be minimized. The home should be an engaging yet sensitive addition to the environment, while honoring the aesthetics of the existing neighborhood or landscape. Every home site has potential beauty and grandeur; it just takes a well-trained and creative eye to unlock the possibilities.
Here are just a few of the site elements we take into account when designing a home:
- Solar orientation. In order to design a home that derives solar energy, correct orientation of the home is extremely important. In Montana, Summer afternoon sun is a concern as a building can overheat and visual glare can occur if West-facing windows and over-hangs are designed incorrectly.
- View lines. One of the most desirable features of a home is having beautiful vistas of the outdoors from within. Each home site has interior view potentials regardless if it is located in a densely urban space or a natural setting. Window locations and heights must be designed correctly in order to derive the most satisfying results.
- Wind. Wind directions change throughout the year and can either harm or benefit a home. Winter winds cause chilling drafts, snow drifting, and possibly damage. Summer breezes offer much-needed cooling and can work in the home's favor by setting up inner pressurization and convective air exchange.
- Trees. Natural foliage can assist in breaking down strong winds, creating shade, and breaking down view lines to and from neighbors. Trees can also sett up natural snow drift lines, which can make entry into a driveway or home either reasonable or ridiculous.
- Land contours. Natural land slopes can be used as an asset or can cause drainage problems to a home. Design of a home through use of modern computer modeling assists the designer in elevation decisions and in reducing excavation costs by minimizing earth removal.
To learn more about the environmental design we practice at Greenovision, please check out our blog post, What is Environmental Design?
