|PADI Learn to Dive
In the PADI Open Water Diver course, your PADI Instructor takes you through the basics of learning how to scuba dive. You start in a pool or pool-like conditions and progress to the open water (ocean, lake, quarry, etc.) getting the background knowledge along the way.
1. Knowledge Development – This develops your familiarity with basic principles and procedures. You learn things like how pressure affects your body, how to choose the best gear and what to consider when planning dives.
2. Confined Water Dives – This is what it's all about – diving. You develop basic scuba skills in a pool or in a body of water with pool-like conditions. Here you'll learn everything from setting up your gear to how to easily get water out of your mask without surfacing. You'll also practice some emergency skills, like sharing air – just in case. Plus, you may play some games, make new friends and have a great time. There are five confined water dives, with each building upon the previous. Over the course of these five dives, you attain the skills you need to dive in open water.
3. Open Water Dives – After your confined water dives, you and the new friends you've made continue learning during four open water dives with your PADI Instructor at a dive site. This is where you have fun putting it all together and fully experience the underwater adventure – at the beginner level, of course. You may make these dives near where you live or at a more exotic destination on holiday.
Cost: Dhs2350 per person (includes PADI student crew pak, certification processing, knowledge development sessions, confined water dives, 4 open water training dives, equipment for training, wall certificate upon completion, professional instruction). Group and corporate rates available.
Pre-requisite: be medically fit, swim 200m continuously and survival float for 10minutes, 10 years old or above.

PEP Grant Recipients Speak Out
"SPARK exemplifies a high quality physical education program. The curriculum is as good as any that I have come across in 20+ years, the training is phenomenal. The training changes practice. Teachers who have burned out have been re-energized by participating in the SPARK trainings we have offered. If you want to see a change in your physical education program, choose SPARK."
-Brett Fuller (2012 PEP Winner) Curriculum Specialist
Milwaukee Public Schools, Milwaukee, WI
"SPARK is EVERYTHING a Physical Educator needs. The lessons are sequenced perfectly with activities that keep the students engaged and excited about each unit. It is all there and developmentally appropriate. Most importantly our students are moving more and learning more."
-Dana Chambers (2012 PEP Winner) PE Teacher and PEP Grant Manager
Newcastle Public Schools, Newcastle, OK

We looked at the ease of implementation and staff development for proper implementation. We have been very satisfied with the SPARK program."
-Julie Graber (2010 PEP Winner) PEP Program Manager & High School PE Teacher
Ellsworth Community School District, Ellsworth, WI

SPARK does it all, and they do it very well."
-Mandee Polonsky (2005 & 2007 PEP Winner) Chicago Public Schools
Chicago, IL

You just want to go back, and take the activities and start them right away."
-Nick Kline (2008 PEP Winner) PEP Coordinator
Cortland County Family YMCA, Cortland, NY

So much has been happening in the past month or so. I have been sewing like crazy.
First, the big news…I will finally be selling my bags (not only on etsy), but as a vendor at my first craft show. Introducing Allison Kapner Originals:
I will be a vendor at the Black n Bleu Festival in Downtown Delray Beach on Sunday, March 14th (http://www.blacknbleu.com/) from 12:00pm until 6:00pm. If you are in the area, please come by to show your support – you don't have to buy anything, but I'd love it for people to say "Hi."
In addition to my regular big totes and purses I'll be showcasing craft items like my adorable ice cream cone and cupcake pincushions made from upcycled recycles wool sweaters that I have felted.
And, bigger news, I will be launching my NEW LINE. I have fallen in love with felting wool, and turning it into bags (I try and let the sweaters tell me what they want to be when they grow up), and love matching them with bold linings, and whimsical appliqués. I love how each sweater felts differently, and seems to call out to be made into a specific bag.
Here are just a few of the bags I have completed, but more will be made as it gets closer to the show.
And this bag, I just had to keep for myself. I made it specifically to be able to hold a legal pad and magazine inside – the perfect business size for me.
The good, and the bad, about using old sweaters is that once the sweater is gone, that's it – so the bags truly are one-of-a-kind. But, then again, that's part of the fun for me – that I can never exactly repeat what I've done before.
I hope other people like my bags as much as I do – if not – more bags for me!

This thesis project focuses on Le Corbusier's unmatched ambition for collective housing and revisits a specific line of thought of Le Corbusier: namely how the Certosa del Galluzzo inspired him to create the Unite d'Habitation in Marseille.
The analysis of this line of thought is structured around the term asceticism. Asceticism is used as an architectural instrument for proposing a collective housing complex in Aarhus.
It is the argument of this project that ascetic practices are not concerned with an understanding of God but is a program for what Le Corbusier describes as the harmonious organization of individual life and collective life, mutually strengthening one another.
This interrelationship determined Le Corbusier's approach to architecture in general – from Le Cabanon to Ville Contemporaine.
This project does not seek to present general connections in his works, the aim of the project is to use a specific point in architectural history actively in the process of proposing a new building.

Hebrew Roots/Torah observance/Beha'alotkha
Beha'alotecha – In Your Making Go Up Numbers 8:1-12-16
As we look at this week's Torah portion we are directed to the continuing saga of the children of Israel and some of the trials and tribulations of the sojourn through the wilderness wanderings. Parshas B'Haloscha can be divided into two distinct parts. The first part discusses the daily lighting of the Menorah, the consecration of the Leviyim into the service of the Mishkan, and the laws of Pesach Shaynie (the second chance for bringing the Pascal Lamb). The second part returns to the organization, travels, and challenges of the Jews as they prepared to enter Eretz Yisroel. Rashi explains that the word "beha'alotecha" (literally "when you step up") is used because there was a ma'aleh - step - in front of the menorah on which the Kohen stood as he prepared the wicks and oil of the menorah.
The Menorah
Yahweh spoke to Moshe, saying, "Speak to Aaron and say to him: When you kindle the lamps, toward the face of the Menorah shall the seven lamps cast light." Aaron did so; toward the face of the Menorah he kindled its lamps, as Yahweh had commanded Moshe. This is the workmanship of the Menorah, hammered-out gold, from its base to its flower it is hammered out; according to the vision that Yahweh showed Moshe, so did he make the Menorah.
Yahweh's instruction to Aaron to "raise light" in the lamps of the menorah in the Sanctuary, so that "the seven lamps should give light toward the face of the menorah." Bamidbar/Numbers 8:1-4
Moshe is given the design for the menorah that is to be placed in the Tent of Meeting. This seven-branched candelabra is to be formed from a single ingot of gold and is to illuminate the Holy of Holies where the Ark of the Covenant is located. The menorah, however, was hammered out of a single piece of gold, originating as a single object and remaining a single object through the various stages of its construction to the finished product.
The instructions for the lighting of the Menorah are given here because the altar has just been dedicated in Numbers 7. With the dedication of the altar, the tabernacle worship has begun. The menorah will have to be lit the following morning and then every day thereafter. The command and key word is to give light in "front" of the Menorah or 'toward the face of the Menorah'. The rabbis teach that the three wicks on the right and the three on the left were all directed toward the Menorah's central stem, thus concentrating light toward the center. The Menorah symbolized that Yahweh is the Source of all light (Artscroll Stone Edition Chumash, p. 775). Thus the command is meant to specify that the six lights beside the central one should be arranged to shine the light in front of the Menorah, or in the direction of the table of the Bread of the Presence.
The menorah had seven branches, nine flowers, eleven knobs, and twenty-two cups, and according to the Gemara (Menachot 28b) it was eighteen tefachim (handbreadths) tall or three amot, approximately five feet. It was one solid piece of beaten work of gold (Vs.4). . . and the flowers of beaten work—The Menorah was an amazing piece of art, beaten from a single piece of gold and not molded. The shape included almond blossoms as the cups holding the oil for each of the 7 lights.
It symbolizes an eternal light as well as the eternal vigilance of Yahweh towards His people. Each of the three lamps on the left and the three lamps on the right were all directed towards the central stem of the lamp. If we pattern our lives in this manner of keeping our eyes on Yeshua, we will walk in His light of which He is a conduit from the Father ( we see God in the face of Yeshua 2 Cor.4:6; Heb.12: 2). The central branch which is the Menorah, pointed straight up, toward Yahweh. In Isaiah 11: 2, we have a picture of the central branch of the 'Spirit of Yahweh' from which the spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge and fear of Yahweh are manifested. It is as if to say that the other six lights of the Menorah which also correspond to the six days of creation and the six millennia of history, are all just to "launch" us into the realm of God. All manifestations of His presence, His power and His purposes are directed toward finding fulfillment in Him as the central focal point of our lives.
The central trunk is the true Menorah from which the six branches shoot. The highest central lamp is called the "Shamasch", that is, the "Servant". The Menorah represents our relationship to Yeshua the servant of Yahweh, of which we are the branches.
Yeshua said, "I am the vine and you are the branches?" (John 15:5) He is the main branch that carries the life to the attached human branches of the Menorah. Does the power of His resurrected life and anointing flow through you even as oil was in the Menorah and as sap flows through a tree to its branches? Is Yeshua the center of all that we do and say and can we say as the Apostle Paul did, that "in him we live and move and have our being" Acts 17:28 The Menorahs of the seven Messianic assemblies of Revelation 2 and 3 represent the same truth of their testimony of light as an assembly, shining from the oil/anointing of the Spirit flowing through them. (Rev. 1:3, 20)
"In Him was life; and the life was the light of men," (John 1: 4). Through His life we become a light. We are to be a reflection of His glory, and though not the source of the light, we reflect His light to show the unsearchable riches and the glorious mystery which from the beginning of the world has been hidden away in Yeshua - that is Messiah in us - His Word embodied in us. The Menorah was a light to the world, and thus also represent God's Torah. Note that even a person who was not a priest could light the lamps of the Menorah, to spread the light of His Presence which is seen through His Word enacted in our lives. (Compare to Matthew 5:13-16)
The word 'beha'alosecha' is not the normal one used for "lighting" which is "Lhadlik." The Torah used the word "B'Haloscha" which literally means to "lift or raise up," rather than the literally correct word, B'Hadlikcha "when you light." For this reason the Rabbis say that Aharon is being instructed - "when you ignite the Menorah, make sure that it is a flame that can stand on its own, one that reaches Heavenward by itself. You may have to initiate the flame, but, after that, the flame must be able to rise independent of any further effort on your part." The Talmud states, "This teaches that the job of the Kohain Gadol when lighting the Menorah was to make sure that once lit each flame would stay lit and "rise up by itself." This speaks of raising up the other individual lights that can stand independently strong and brightly burning the 'oil'.
The essence of good spiritual instruction is facilitating the person's own desire to feel the presence of God, something that must be inspired, because it must be pursued with one's life-force. The ideal form of inspiration is the kind that we feel when we catch a glimpse of Yahweh's master plan, and how we can contribute to its completion. This was part of Aharon's job to transmit this message to the rest of the nation, so that each and everyone could hook into that master plan, and feel a sense of destiny being attached to it. This would then result in a great desire to be a partner in that plan, bringing the person closer to Yahweh in the process, and closer to their own personal capacity of greatness and fulfillment.
Thus the Menorah symbolized each one's unique ability to understand and serve God. The High Priest was to inspire and teach others through both word and deed to accept their divinity and act accordingly. The test of his success would be when each candle would "rise by itself", set alight by the illumination of His Spirit to serve Yahweh in his individual capacity. Ultimately, it would be Aharon who would inspire and nurture that individual responsibility for divinity, until each one could rise up by itself." Yeshua now takes this responsibility to ignite our flame to burn and stand by itself.
"The soul of man is a candle of Yahweh" (Proverbs 20:27). Every believer must also exercise his priesthood and see to it that his candle shines brightly and ensure that his brother's candle also is lit. The soul of your fellow is a ready lamp, filled with the purest oil and equipped with all that is required to convert its fuel into a blazing flame. It only lacks the proximity of another lamp to ignite it. If your own soul is alight, its contact with another's soul will awaken its potential for light, so that it may illuminate its surroundings and kindle other souls, in turn. Are we "raised up" in being a light in our service to Yahweh? Yeshua instructed us to let our lights shine so that others will be enlightened by the flavour of the spiritual 'food' which we have to offer (i.ew. - the salt of our lives). (Matthew 5:13-16)
The priests stood before the menorah and we stand before the Menorah which is the golden light of the presence of Yahweh that comes through Yeshua from Yahweh.
Purification and dedication of the Levites
Moshe then gathers all the people in front of the Sanctuary, where the tribe of Levi is initiated into the Temple service as assistants to the Kohanim (priests). They then immerse in a pool of water, shave off all their hair, are sprinkled with the ashes of the Red Heifer, and bring offerings to God. The shaving of the hair symbolises the removal of all of man's glory, all of his natural pride and dignity, i.e. becoming completely stripped bare before the Almighty. To bear His glory, ours must go.
The people lay their hands upon the Levites, and Aaron the High Priest lifts each of them up as an "uplifting before God" For, The Levites are given as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel... "And after that, the Levites went in to do their service in the Tent of Meeting before Aaron and before his sons; as God had commanded Moshe..."
The consecration of the Levites at this juncture fits perfectly. The Kohain Gadol's job of inspiring and nurturing the nation needed help. The Levites were that help. In this case the Levites were gifts to their superiors, the priests. The prince of the tribe of Levi was the Kohain Gadol (the High Priest); therefore, after Aharon had been given his symbolic job of preparing and lighting the Menorah the Levites were consecrated into their duty. Until now their function was to care and carry the Mishkan; however, upon crossing the Jordan their real job would begin. The Levites were to be the conscience of the nation. Living among the people, teaching them, inspiring them, and representing the duality of free willed service to both God and man.
Specific instructions are given for the Levites who have been deemed the equivalent of the first born sons and dedicated to service unto the Almighty. As we are all priests through the work of Messiah on the cross and our faith in the redemptive result of His sacrifice, we need to take hold of the fact that the Levites have no inheritance in the Land. They were set aside to serve Yahweh and the people of Israel. This is the position which we have to assume of having no worldly inheritance, but that we are called to serve in His tabernacle with all our earthly needs provided for that purpose.
The Second Passover
Numbers 9:6-11 tells of a "second Passover" being added for those who were defiled by a dead body and could not keep the usual Feast because of unchangeable circumstances, and an ordinance was made for them of one month later "at the appointed time". In its appointed time [season]/moed. The word moed (Strong's H#4150; TWOT 878b) primarily means an appointment, a fixed time or season, a festival, an assembly, the congregation, the place of meeting (- i.e. a meeting with Yahweh.)
This is a gracious allowance for the circumstances of life so that His people can keep this special appointment to meet with Him. There are exceptions for those who would want to keep Pesach but for what ever reason are unable to. These exemptions were being ritually unclean and being caught travelling. We know that failure to keep Pesach is to be cut off from your people or your heritage and consequently your loss of identity. Yeshua Himself faithfully kept Pesach, should we not emulate Him and do the same?
In Numbers 9:14, God states that those Gentiles who associate themselves with Israel were to follow the same Torah ordinances as Israel did: "…you shall have one ordinance, for the stranger, and for him who was born in the land." Compare this to Ephesians 2:11-13, where Paul tells Gentiles who come to Yeshua that they were no longer to be strangers to the Torah ordinances of Israel as they were now one with them. (Compare Yeshua's comments at the beginning of His midrash on Torah observance in Matthew 5:17-21 to his concluding ones in Matthew 7:21-23.)
The word given to them the was that if they failed to keep Passover, they would be 'cut off' from among the people. This was done literally then, but now it has a spiritual application and failure to keep the feasts causes us to be cut off in a spiritual measure from His life.
The term 'cut off' (expelled or killed - 9:13) is used in the Torah about 34 times and is usually referring to Israelites being cut off (expelled) from the camp of Israel for rebellion and disobedience against Yahweh's commands. This is a spiritual principle that applies to us today with regard to the assembly of believers. Leaders are instructed to expel someone for disobedience and rebellion against Yahweh's commandments? (See Rom. 16:17; Tit. 3:10; 2 Thes. 3:6; 2 Tim. 3:5; 1 Cor. 5:5; 11:27-30).
The Silver Trumpets
It was at this point that the instructions for the two silver trumpets are given (and not the rams horn - the shofar) "to summon the community, and to make journey the camps." which are to call the people to meeting, to war or to sound the alarm. It was shaped similar to modern trumpets according to the description of Josephus and the sounds used were also similar to those still in use with the shofar.
The long blast on the trumpet is called the tekiah, the short blast is called the teruah which is usually sounded as nine short staccato sounds.
The straight long blast (tekiah) is to be used to summon the people: if both trumpets are sounded, the entire people should gather before the entrance of the Sanctuary; one trumpet means that only the tribal heads were being summoned.
When the people break camp, the start of the journey is to be heralded with a series of short blasts (teruah). The first teruah signals the tribes camping to the east to begin moving; the next series of short blasts sets the southern camp in motion, and so on, according to the order instructed earlier (Numbers 2). Trumpets are also to be sounded when going out to war, and when bringing the seasonal offerings in the Holy Temple. The procedure for using trumpets to summons or signal the nation of Israel was an eternal decree (v. 8) (Stone Edition Chumash, p. 783).
The silver trumpets were taken by the Romans in AD 70 and have not been in use since.
The rabbis teach that the sounding of these silver trumpets is directly linked to Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) which is symbolic of the return of Yeshua and the regathering of His people Israel. These two silver trumpets prophetically represent the two Houses of Israel being called to gather before His sanctuary (a call to holiness) for the final spiritual warfare of this age against the saints receiving their promised inheritance.
The readiness of the Israelites to travel
After being encamped at Horeb at the foot of Mt. Sinai for more than a year (10:11-12), the Children of Israel begin their journey to the land of Canaan. During the past year they were transformed from a rabble of former slaves into a fledgling nation: they heard Yahweh teach the Torah, they built the Mishkan and they organized their camp. Now they are ready to establish the nation of Israel in the land promised to their forefathers.
Newlyweds (in this case, Yahweh and Israel) were to spend one year together (getting to know each other) before going to war (Deut. 24:5). It was now time for Israel to go forward in their journey of taking the promised land from the enemy. The wilderness journey is symbolic of the tribulation period - the silver trumpets of Yahweh will signal His prophetic people when to move forward and when to camp in formation on their journey to the Israel of the kingdom. There is a war to be waged in our spiritual journey to overcome the flesh and take hold of our inheritance. There is a spiritual parallel to the conflicts which they went through in the wilderness before they reached the promised land to us overcoming in our individual lives.
When the Mishkan was assembled, the cloud covered it. In the evening until the morning, it appeared as if fire was over the Mishkan. The cloud covered it [by day], and there was the appearance of fire by night. When the cloud rose from above the Mishkan, then the Children of Israel marched on; where the cloud stopped, the Children of Israel camped. Thus at the command of Yahweh the Children of Israel traveled, and at the command of Yahweh they camped ... (9:15-18) This text teaches us that Yahweh led his people with a command that was manifested by the cloud and by the prophet. Yahweh gave the command by moving the cloud and by Moshe who gave the order. This teaches us that we ought to follow Yahweh's word that is given through His Spirit and through his prophets so that we do not fall behind and miss the move of Yahweh in this time. One who believes that he can serve Yahweh in the same way that people served Him in the past is mistaken. Since Yahweh is always moving, we must be willing to leave one place and go on with Him, instead of staying within established human structures, even though they may have been very useful during times past.
"Then it came about when the ark set out that Moshe said, 'Rise up, O Yahweh! And let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee before You. ' When it came to rest, he said, 'Return, O Yahweh, to the myriad thousands of Israel" Numbers 10:35-36
This was in essence a war cry. It was the General shouting on behalf of the Commander-in-Chief to his enemies "here we come. you had better flee'. When the 'battle' was finished the general was telling the Commander-in-Chief that because of his brilliantly orchestrated victory, His Presence could now rest in the camp.
There was great joy in the camp when the glory cloud lifted, the priests hoisted the ark to their shoulders and it was time for the camp to go forth as led by Yahweh with His servants carrying the ark. When they move forward it was in formation, with Judah in the lead, then Issachar and Zebulon (Praise and victory initiate the move supported by intercession [Issachar] and evangelism/taking the spoil [Zebulon] with the other tribes behind in their order.
The Flesh Complains
The portion then turns to the almost incessant complaints of the sons of Israel and how the Holy One dealt with their insurrection and demands for food and the culinary comforts of Egypt. In Egypt it rained very little and the country would rely on the Nile river for irrigation. When the water would rise and flow into the fields, it would contain fish, and when the water would subside, the fish remained on the ground. Thus the slaves who worked the fields for their masters would take home fish together with vegetables from the fields. In spite of their slavery, food was plentiful.
The people complain, incurring the wrath of God, and a fire rages at "the edge of the camp." The Aramaic targums cite that there "were wicked men of the people, who, being discontent, devised and imagined evil before Yahweh" and that there was idolatry in the camp of Dan that was related to this insurrection. (Targum Johnathan)
The people again call out to Moshe, who prays for the fire to be quenched. But soon they are complaining again. "And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting; and the children of Israel also wept again, and said: "Who shall give us meat to eat?" "We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt for nothing; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic. But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes..."
This was the beginning of a long list of such incidents in Israel's wilderness journey. Do we complain and murmur about something that bothers us going on within the assembly of Believers or otherwise when our needs are not met? Yahweh provided their needs with a visitation of quail, driven there by a mighty wind. Some, being unthankful and consumed with lust in their eating, were struck with a plague by Yahweh. 11:33
The introduction of the quail for food and the response of Moshe to the judgment that is meted out upon the Israelites gives us a real sense of Moshe's heart and love for the children of Israel. At this point in the sojourn, Moshe is literally ready to offer his life for the needs of his fellow Israelites. Then the Holy One interjects the methodology that He wants to help divide the leadership responsibilities among the seventy elders who are chosen for the continuation of the journey to the Promised Land.
"The name of that place was called Kivrot-Hatta'avah, because there they buried the people who lusted."(HNV) - Kirvot-Hatta'avah means "the graves of lust". Here it says that those who lusted were buried there. Lust is not the same thing as desire. Lust is something that cannot be satisfied, something animalistic and demonic, that is not based on natural needs. Lust is a twisted desire that demands without gratefulness, without humility, and without acknowledgment.
Seventy Elders
Yahweh instructed Moshe to gather seventy men from the elders of Israel upon whom He would place some of the spirit which was upon him, to help bear the burden of the people. (Bamidbar/Numbers11:16-17).
Seventy is a divine number of perfection and has some very profound implications - many ordinances are in seventies. For example, according to the sages of Israel, seventy represents the number of primary nations. When Jacob went to Egypt, he took seventy souls (Deut.10:22 - 11:1). It is the number of silver shekels the different tribal leaders offered up to Yahweh as the altar was being dedicated (Nu. 7), There were seventy years of exile from the Land of Israel. Yeshua, He appointed seventy of His disciples to go to the nations to evangelise Luke 10:1-2). There are the seventy biblically-ordained holy days of the year: 52 Sabbaths, seven days of Passover, eight days of Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Shavuot.
This is similar to, but not the same as, the time when earlier in the book of Exodus Moshe was challenged by his father-in-law Jethro to appoint the seventy judges to help distribute the burden of judging between the many disputes of the people. In these appointments of the judges, just like as the commissioning of the leaders of Israel, Moshe is to choose men of the highest qualifications. Then we discover that after Moshe chooses men that he "knew," that the Holy One then was able to pour out His Spirit upon them. In an incredible display of the Holy One's grace toward His people, He places His Spirit upon the seventy elders who had been selected for leadership. (The instructions for elders and deacons in the new order are actually amplifications of these character traits. Titus 1:5-9; 1 Tim. 3)
As a result, these men began to prophecy and make declarations to the others in the camp. Apparently, as the account records, there were two men who were chosen to lead, but did not attend the initial outpouring of the Spirit upon the other sixty-eight. All of a sudden within the camp, Eldad and Medad are found prophesying in the camp and Joshua comes and reports this activity to Moshe thinking that perhaps they were out of order.
Moshe was delighted with the new administration. In fact His comment that, "Would that all the Yahweh's people were prophets, that Yahweh would put His Spirit upon them!" indicates that He was desiring all of Israel to be in a position to prophecy or speak the truth with clarity. Moshe desired that all men would prophecy. But he also wanted them all to be filled with the Holy Spirit, Who through them would do the prophesying. This is available today as we submit our wills to His will. As we seek to be led by the Spirit, we can let His words come forth from our inner most being and prophesy. May this be the testimony for one and all!
Evil Speaking
"And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moshe about the Kushite woman whom he had married... " (12:1)
She was upset at Moshe's actions which were based on Divine direction, that had him separate from an intimate matrimonial life. "(Miriam) said (to Aahron), 'Was it only to Moshe that Yahweh spoke? Did He not speak to us, as well?"(ibid v.3) Evil speaking (Lashon Horah) is considered a terrible sin. The Torah has no less than 31 warnings concerning that crime, and it is incumbent upon believers to remember the story of Miriam as a daily reminder of the difficult test we face in our encounters and our oral reactions to them. If we fail to avoid speaking lashon horah because of the pain that it inflicts upon our fellow believers, then we should consider the pain we inflict upon our Father in Heaven when we talk ill of His children. As long as we give in to gossip and slander we will grieve the Spirit/Ruach and will not advance spiritually. After harsh rebuke from the Almighty for the audacity to speak against her brother Moshe, the world's greatest prophet and most humble man, Miriam was punished with leprosy. Her skin turned white as snow and was subjected to seven days of judgement.
Prophetic people often allow a spirit of Jezebel (rebellion, personal ambition and usurpation of control) to rise up within them to usurp authority over those to whom Yahweh has given authority in the congregation of His people. Such people may use their prophetic giftings to try to direct the leadership through "words from the Lord." They will also attack leaders through accusation in areas unrelated to their ambitions. Miriam did this with Moshe by questioning his marriage, but her real ambition was to usurp control over Moshe. (Targums Johnathan & Jerusalem record that Moshe was married to a member of the royal household of Pharaoh. Other Egyptian and historical records indicate that this was before he fled from Pharaoh and that she left with Israel at the time of the Exodus)
Whatever, the issue is a criticism of Moshe elevating himself in his calling, above Mirium and Aaron, and a strong and powerful response by Yahweh for Mirium's sin in rising up against against His anointed leadership.
Speaking against Yahweh's appointed leadership is never justified, even if there is reason for it, Yahweh Himself deals with His leaders. The assembly's commitment is to pray for them. Mirium obviously lost the respect of the congregation as she was not mourned at her death as would have been usual for the anointed leadership and prophetic mantle she had carried previous to this incident. Her death is only just mentioned for the record. (Nu.20:1)

New Beverages research report from Euromonitor International is now available from Fast Market Research
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/26/2014 -- Carbonates continued to face an unfavourable environment in 2013. Beyond higher taxes and weak purchasing power, the category also suffered from concerns surrounding aspartame, which has been constantly in the media spotlight since 2011. Sales in the on-trade were spared from these threats, in part because to drink carbonates out-of-home remained occasional and was still seen as a good alternative to alcohol. In addition, with the health and wellness trend gaining force, consumers showed growing receptivity to other healthier soft drinks. This trend has strengthened since 2012 due to negative publicity surrounding the ?soda tax?, also known as the ?obesity tax?. Despite this, manufacturers continued to invest heavily in advertising and innovation. They launched new flavours but also new variants with natural sweeteners such as stevia.
View Full Report Details and Table of Contents
Competitive Landscape
Coca-Cola Entreprises SA remained the leading player in carbonates in 2013 with an off-trade value share of 71% and a volume share of 63% thanks to several well-recognised brands, such as Coca-Cola (the leader in standard regular cola), Coca-Cola Light, Coca-Cola Zero, Fanta and Sprite. Orangina Schweppes France SAS, the owner of Schweppes and Orangina, was another important player, commanding shares of 11% in both off-trade value and volume terms. Both companies were also the main players in the on-trade.
Industry Prospects
Over the forecast period the category should witness an increase in the number of products with a reduced sugar content and featuring natural sweeteners. In order to counter the unhealthy image of carbonates, manufacturers are expected to invest in product innovation. In the meantime, due to a still fragile economic climate, carbonates manufacturers are likely to use promotions to sustain sales. There is also a strong possibility that they will invest in new packaging to target new consumers such as children and older adults.

Apple Computer said Wednesday that good iPod, Panther OS and PowerBook sales boosted revenue by 36 percent in the fiscal first quarter, beating Wall Street estimates by two cents as the Macintosh maker reported the biggest quarter in terms of revenue in four years.
Apple said it earned US$63 million, or 17 cents a share, for its fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 27, compared to a loss of US$8 million, or 2 cents a share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call estimated Apple would earn 15 cents a share on sales of US$1.93 billion. Sales rose to US$2 billion from US$1.47 billion in the same period last year. Apple said it recorded an after-tax investment of US$3 million, which boosted earnings by a penny a share. That was related to the sale of stock in hosting company Akamai Technologies.
Apple shipped 733,000 iPod music players in the quarter, a 235% increase from a year earlier. Macintosh shipments rose 12% to 829,000 on revenue of US$1.2 million. Breaking down the numbers:
|Unit Change From Same Q 2003
|Power Mac
The only unit down sequentially in sales from the year ago was the iMac product line. Earlier today, TMO reported that analyst Steven Milunovich of Merrill Lynch said in a report that an update to the iMac form factor was needed soon. Appleis reported results support that idea.
The company said portable units represented a record-high 48% of all Mac systems sold during the quarter. PowerBook sales were also at a record high.
Gross margins fell to 26.7% from 27.6% a year earlier. The results were higher than expected due to "higher warranty expense than expected," the company said.
In a conference call with analysts and the press, Apple CFO Fred Anderson said the company was upbeat about Christmas season sales, despite signs US consumers were tight with their wallets in a slowly recovering economy.
"I would say that the positives were some over performance on the iPod, the record sales on the PowerBook and we had a great quarter, as expected, on the upgrade sales of Panther," said Anderson.
Anderson said sales through its 73 Apple retail stores nationwide are improving, delivering a US$9 million profit in the last quarter. This marks the first time Apple has turned a direct profit from its retail operations. The stores generated revenue of retail stores had $273 million, up 84% from the year ago quarter. The average revenue per store was US$4 million, compared to about US$3.1 million a year ago.
Eight new stores were opened during the quarter, including the companyis first international store in Tokyo, Japan. The Tokyo stores first month sales were the highest ever at US$1 million per week. Apple plans to have 80 stores open by back-to-school time. At present, the company has 73 stores open worldwide. The Osaka, Japan Apple Store will be opening in the Fall of this year and the San Francisco store will open in the Spring.
Anderson said international sales were surprisingly strong in the quarter. Sales in the Americas were up 25% from a year ago, Europe up 48%, and Japan up 13%.
Despite selling over 733,000 iPods in the quarter, Anderson said Apple did suffer from not being able to fulfill customer demand for the product. "We were unable to meet all the demand," he said. "We clearly had reports of a lot of stock outs of certain models around the world...We had a great quarter, but it could have been higher had we not had the shortages."
Looking forward, Anderson said Apple expects to earn between 8 cents and 10 cents a share on revenue of US$1.8 billion for its current, second quarter. Analysts previously estimated Apple would earn 7 cents a share on sales of US$1.70 billion. The company is expecting gross margins to be around 27.5% based on LCD prices being flat and memory prices trending down.
"We expect our third consecutive quarter of year-over-year, double digit growth in both revenue and earnings," Anderson said.
Other highlights of the conference call included:
- Operating profit expanded to 3.7% of sales, the companyis highest quarterly operating margin in 13 quarters.
- Sales of the Panther Mac OS upgrade, which was released during the quarter, were very strong, Anderson said, making up US$60 million of the US$235 million revenue for software. Apple expects lower Panther sales in the second quarter.
- 30 million songs have been purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Music Store since its inception, seven million in the month of December.
- Power Mac sales were better for the last quarter than the previous quarter. Ending channel inventory decreased substantially and the company met its own expectations. Dual processor sales were stronger than expected.
- Anderson said the company is hoping for continued gross profit margins on iPods to remain around 20%.
- 5.9 million people visited Apple retail stores in Q1, or about 6,000 people, per store per week.

Aero Within Reach
Zipp's SL-70 Aero is, in every way, a high-performance bar. This unidirectional carbon handlebar is packed with innovations for best-in-class fit, ergonomics and aerodynamic performance. With its wing-shaped bar top, the SL-70 Aero features Zipp's most advanced bar refinements while building on the trend-setting aero legacy of the VukaSprint.
The bar's distinctive wing-shaped top is designed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the same software used to design Zipp® wheels. Our research showed that a traditional round-tube section creates drag of about 0.74 Newtons, which we found requires about 7.5 watts of effort at 30mph (48.3kph) to overcome. The airfoil developed in CFD that is used in the SL-70 Aero handlebar creates just 0.11N of drag, which means a savings of 6.4 watts over a round-tube section.
Beyond aero performance, the SL-70 Aero features a 70mm reach to allow proper fit without compromising stem length and steering control.
The 10-degree ramp angle to the brake hoods eliminates the need for up-rotated bars. The bar also provides ample wrist clearance for riding and sprinting in the drops.

Zipp SL-70 Aero is Velo Editors' Pick May 2014 [pdf]
The editors of Velo matched the Zipp SL-70 Aero carbon bar against two of its peers, from Enve and Bontrager, and the Zipp SL-70 Aero prevailed. In naming the SL-70 Aero as its 2014 Velo Editors' Pick, Velo praised the bar for its comfort, aerodynamics, compact drop share and reasonable weight. The editors also praised the Rapid Route system, first developed for the VukaStealth, that makes cable routing on the bar much easier.

Before a crash occurs the driver must respond quickly to avoid an accident. The Citaro provides assistance with its directionally stable suspension and smooth steering, which result from the independent suspension on the front axle.
There is particular emphasis on driver safety in the new Citaro. The ECE R29 Directive applying to trucks, which has defined the survival space for the driver in a head-on collision in a truck since 1975, has been voluntarily adopted as the standard for the new Citaro. Compliance with ECE R29 was verified with a pendulum impact test.
Protection in the event of a head-on collision based on the ECE R29 standard, unparalleled amongst urban regular-service buses, as well as the even stiffer structure of the frame, increases passive safety.
The new driver protection door can protect the driver from unexpected attacks. Depending on the intended deployment of the vehicle and the degree of protection desired, there are four modular constructions available.

This was such a fun, informative free tour. It lasted about 45 minutes. There was one spot with stairs, but could be avoided if necessary.
Our guide Daisy was very nice and knowledgeable, answering all of our questions. She didn't use a microphone but we could hear her because we had a small group and the machinery wasn't too loud.
At the end of the tour, we got to choose a free bottle of sauce (no free bag or t-shirt, but everything in the gift shop was fairly priced).
There was no availability on the calendar online, but I called and was able to join a group anyway. I highly recommend this tour if you have a chance to take it!

Los Angeles
Apr 21, 2017
Actress Blake Lively says she considers a project only by looking at her role in it rather than its budget.
'I don't look at movies by the budget. I look at movies by the character. What was neat about 'The Shallows', it was really low budget. It was a $17 million movie and we did over $120 million worldwide,' Lively told variety.com.
'It's cool to do that with a story about a woman. It's (a) proof (that) people want to see movies about women. It doesn't (mean that) all have to be Nicholas Sparks-type films. When you look at the 'Star Wars' franchise now versus the 'Star Wars' franchise then, there are women at the centre,' she added.
Lively said that she is not ready to be a part of 'The Shallows' sequel.
'I don't know what would happen. I hope not; I'm not ready to go work out like that again. I'm about to do a movie in a couple months where I'm playing a woman who is a fighter,' she said.

Although there are three shops on the promenade that serve ice cream, Waterfront Confections is the only one that makes its own ice cream on site (the others scoop brands like Island Farms that can be found at the grocery store). They had an interesting selection of flavours including the standard chocolate and vanilla, to tiger (my sister's favourite regardless of maker) and white chocolate-raspberry.
|No matter how many times I rotate and save this image, it is still upside down...
|But you get the idea.
For my cone I chose to go with wild blackberry sorbet and seaside caramel.
In conclusion, if you're looking for some ice cream and a nice stroll by the docks, skip the other places on the promenade and go to Waterfront Confections, where you can get home-made ice cream to top off your trip to the seaside.

By: AmCham Denmark (Jan 10, 2017)
On January 10, more than 130 AmCham members and stakeholders gathered at Moltkes Palæ in Copenhagen to celebrate the New Year and bid U.S. Ambassador Rufus Gifford farewell.
Special guest speakers included Abdel Aziz Mahmoud (DR) as well as the TV2 News duo of Janni Pedersen and Lasse Sjørslev, who shared their personal anecdotes about the Ambassador.
AmCham's Chairman Ron Park (Roche) rounded out the speeches by thanking Ambassador Gifford for his support in fostering a positive business climate for international companies in Denmark, while also being a true advocate of Danish businesses seeking to operate in the U.S.
Stephen Brugger then joined Ron Park in presenting Ambassador Gifford with an AmCham Lifetime Honorary Membership, for his outstanding service as U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark and as AmCham's Honorary President.

In a dry skillet, toast the peppercorn and clove over medium heat until puffs of smoke begin to appear, about 1 minute. Transfer to a mortar and crush roughly.
In a small saucepan, simmer sugar, soy sauce, rum, lemon zest, and lemon juice over medium heat. Add the peppercorn/clove mixture, ginger, and garlic powder, and reduce by half.
Remove from heat, strain and let cool.
Place the fish fillets in the cooled marinade and let sit for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat a skillet on medium high heat. Remove the fish from the marinade. Season the fillet with salt and pepper. Place the marinade in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and remove from the heat. Add the oil to the skillet, and saute the fillets for 2 minutes on each side. Divide the julienned vegetables into two piles on a baking pan. Place fillets on the vegetable beds and finish in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until done.
Brush marinade on finished fish. Serve with vegetables as soon as possible.

The aim of the Task Force is to promote sustainable lifestyles in which people live more in harmony with their natural environment and develop strong socially cohesive communities.
The Task Force explores means for changing lifestyles and behaviour with a focus on how sustainable lifestyles can be enabled by actors such as governments and business, and on how consumers can be encouraged to make sustainable choices. Projects are exploring actions that individuals can take to modify their lifestyles toward greater sustainability. The Task Force works with the concept of lifestyle as a series of 'social conversations', in which people signal their social position and psychological aspirations. Since many of the signals are related to consumer goods, lifestyles are closely linked to material and resource flows in the society.
The Task Force is supporting projects that are supporting capacity building on education and communication for sustainable lifestyles:
The CCSL project deals with grass roots innovations in everyday life and their implications in terms of sustainable lifestyles promotion. In particular, it compares some European experiences with the ones that can be observed in the emerging economies like China, India and Brazil and, in particular, in their growing urban populations. These results were integrated in the Sustainable Everyday Project

Conference calling is a feature of Skype that allows you to talk to more than one person at a time. Here's how to make a three-way call on Skype:
Open your Skype software on your computer via your Skype desktop icon or your Start menu.
Log in to Skype with your user name and password.
Click the "Conference" button, which is at the very top of the window. Alternatively, you can go to "Tools" then "Create a Conference Call."
Enter the topic of your conference call conversation at the top of the new window that opens up.
Invite the two contacts to your conference call. Select them from your list of contacts on the left side of the open window and click "Add" to add them to the call. Alternatively, you can press "Ctrl" (control) to select both names at the same time, and then add them. As you add each contact, you will see the names appear in the "Conference Participants" list on the right side of your screen.
Click the "Start" button when you have all your desired contact names in the "Conference Participants" list. Doing so will call both contacts at the same time. You will see a conference tab with the names of the participants being added as they join. This may take a few moments.
Use any of Skype's other regular features during your conference call, just as you would during a regular call. For example, you can click both of your contacts' icons to view their profiles. Or right-click them to access advanced options, such as Hang Up, Start Chat, Mute, Hold and Send File.
Click the big red button to end the conference call, which will cut off all connections with both contacts and yourself. If you hit the button by accident before the call is done, a window will pop up asking you if you are sure you want to end the call.
Skype's conference calling feature allows you to add up to four contacts to your Conference Participants list (for a total of five participants, including yourself). For those who have an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, you and nine other contacts can participate in a Skype-based conference call. You can add an additional participant to your conference call even while you're in the middle of the call. Just select the contact from your contacts list and click the conference toolbar button--or right-click the contact name--and select "Add to Conference."

Grow, Lil Onions
Just wanted to post a picture of my window mini garden I posted about last week. A little over a week and my replanted green onion bulbs are on a big roll. Why have I not done this before?
Pretty soon they'll be ready for snipping. Sorry, little guys. You'll grow back.

Death and Dying Learning Object
Dr. Sue Myllykangas, Assistant Professor in the HEPERD Department and Dr. Carol Gosselink of Missouri State University collaborated on a problem-based learning module dealing with death and dying issues. In American culture death and dying are taboo subjects for most people, students included. As a way to introduce the topics, a cartoon-based, online module was created encouraging students to explore basic issues and concepts of death and dying in an emotionally safe environment.
The death and dying learning object was developed using Flash. Students are given a scenario that leads them through the module. This module has been used in several different classes at both universities. Students are expected to use critical thinking to develop their own answers and to synthesize the information discovered in this module. There are no right or wrong answers. Students must develop their own procedure for putting theories together to explain their answers to various situations.
Dr. Myllykangas has also been using this project for research purposes related to online learning styles of students. In particular, student retention of information in online courses is being studied.
Adam Messner, CITE Student Multimedia Developer and Grant Howard, CITE Student Multimedia Developer worked closely with Dr. Myllykangas in developing the module in Flash. This module is used in an eCompanion site along with other supporting course materials and may be viewed in the CITE Showcase by clicking Projects and Human Services or here . If you are interested in learning more about Dr. Myllykangas's project and how you can develop a Flash learning object, please contact the CITE Office or Dr. Myllykangas.

Leading the Way Since 1892
Hodgkins, IL – OPW Fuel Management Systems and Kardtech Incorporated (Brampton, Ontario) have entered into a marketing partnership agreement for the Canadian market and announce the official launch of the Kardall Remote Fuel Access Technology.
The FSC3000™ Kardall network option gives the user the ability to access the online host 24/7 as opposed to local authentication via a local controller solution. The Internet "Cloud" operating system has been designed to streamline fuel data transaction capture, resulting in savings of time and money as well as increased system security for the site operator.
At its root, the Kardall system simplifies fuel-management operations. For instance, a site operator with multiple fueling locations currently would need to maintain his card file of authorized users at each location. Now, thanks to the OPW/Kardtech agreement for the Canadian petroleum market, site operators can install the FSC3000™ unit outfitted with the Kardall network option. Kardall's "Cloud" operating system – which has the ability to store virtually an unlimited number of authorized users and track an infinite number of fueling transactions – will be able to control and monitor every transaction at all operator fueling sites.
The network option also offers site operators a systematic diagnostic data notifications feature that compiles and downloads the current day's transactions and looks for errors that may have occurred within the fueling system. If any termination codes have been triggered, their specifics are compiled in an e-mail that is sent to the site operator. This is a quick, convenient way to review what is happening at fueling sites and can provide an indication of potential problems within the system, all through a smart phone or remote Internet connection.
Another major benefit of the new network option is the instant a fueling transaction is completed it is recorded in real-time on the Kardall host. This prevents anyone from authorizing a second refueling from anywhere within the fuel operator's entire network.
Additionally, users have the option of implementing the Trak-iT™ Fleet Freedom® electronic monitoring and tracking system. Fleet Freedom helps site operators locate, track and manage their assets using cutting-edge wireless and GPS-based technologies, no matter the network or device, all on one screen. This information is delivered to a compact mobile device with service available anywhere you can see the sky. In addition to knowing where your mobile assets are at any time, tracking them with Fleet Freedom helps reduce fuel costs, increases security, improves routing and scheduling capabilities, shortens delivery windows, produces enhanced idling reports and enables effective monitoring of "personal use" policies.
For more information on the FSC3000™ network option or OPW Fuel Management Systems, please call (708) 485-4200 or visit www.OPWglobal.com.
About OPW Fuel Management Systems:
OPW Fuel Management Systems specializes in the design and manufacture of tank gauges, tank level monitors; tank, sump & monitoring well gauges, and sensors & systems for liquid level monitoring & leak detection, and automated fuel control systems.

Founded in 1892, OPW is the global leader in dispensing products, environmental products, fuel management systems and clean energy fueling products.

As dog parents we strive to keep our dogs as healthy as possible but sometimes we overlook the basics. Just as humans, each dog has a different diet. You should always be aware of your dog's allergies and talk with your vet before adding or subtracting food/treats. Here at Best Bully Sticks, we have created a list of human food that is either safe or unsafe for you pup so that you are never in doubt!
We understand that your dog may be the exception to some of these but this article's content is safe for most dogs. If you can think of anything else you would like to add, let us know! Also, if your beloved pup has had any type of reaction to any of these food items and you're not sure why, we'd love to hear from you.
(in no specific order)
Human food that can be shared with your pup ♥
- Lean meat
- Carrots
- Pumpkin
- Green Beans
- Salmon
- Tuna
- Sweet Potatoes
- Oatmeal
- Broccoli
- Liver
- Parsley – for fresh breath
- Peas
- Seaweed Nori – make sure is low sodium
- Coconut Oil
- Melons (Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew. Consult veterinarian before feeding more exotic melons)
- Berries – a lot of dogs like them frozen
- Seedless Apple Slices
- Bananas
- Sunflower Seeds (Shelled)
Human food that CAN NOT be shared with your pup.
- Chocolate
- Grapes/Raisins
- Onions/Garlic
- Avocado
- Alcohol
- Macadamia Nuts
- Bacon
- Avocados
- Peaches & Plums
- Corn on the Cob
- Coffee
- White Bread
- Salty foods
Dairy and peanut butter are two items that we will neither suggest or denounce. There are several conflicting articles and we'd rather you decide for yourself on these items.
Things to Remember:
- Human food like table scraps should never replace your dog's regular food. Table scraps should be regarded as treats instead of a substitute for a natural balanced diet for your dog.
- To avoid overfeeding your dog, if you give him human food, you should reduce the amount of his regular food accordingly.
- All dogs should have a well-balanced and healthy diet, but puppies and pregnant dogs especially need a well-balanced nutritious diet for obvious reasons. Therefore, they should stick to their regular meals and not be fed human foods.
- Avoid feeding human foods to dogs who are prone to food allergies or whose digestive systems are particularly sensitive.
Thanks for reading and as stated above, if you have any questions/concerns, we'd love to hear from you!
– Lindsay

Toyko based research company Impress R&D shows the iPhone 3G taking 24.6 percent of the smartphone market and the 3GS lands another 21.5 percent. If you are mathematically challenged ill make it easy – thats a total of 46.1 percent. These figures go some way to dismiss the reports from earlier this year which stated that the iPhone was 'hated' in the Far East, particulary Japan. What we can see however is that the 3GS has had a staggering debut, much like the iPhone 3G before it. Share On

Crews sprucing up historic Peru building to lure developer
PERU, Ind. (AP) — Crews are working to spruce up a historic northern Indiana building for a push to find a developer who can give it a new life.
The more 130-year-old Falk building sits across the street from Miami County Courthouse and is one of the oldest buildings in Peru, a city about 80 miles north of Indianapolis.
Peru officials spent $200,000 last year to purchase and began stabilizing the three-story brick building, which dates to the 1880s. A new vinyl roof was installed to halt water leaks, and its windows were boarded up to keep out pigeons.
Crews are now working to renovate its exterior, including $90,000 in brick-and-mortar repairs.
Mayor Gabe Greer tells The Kokomo Tribune the building will then likely be repainted in hopes of luring a new developer.

Our internet radio station Radio Fury will soon be back on the air permanently (probably!)
There will be a staple diet of round-the-clock 60s music, with features whenever I can sort them out - the first feature will be The 1958 Show - every British single that appeared in the NME Top 30 51 years ago.
If anyone would like to try DJ-ing with their own playlist (either live or recorded) occasionally, please let me know.
In the meantime, I wondered if our talented performers could try their hands at producing station jingles.
We might have a vote on any submitted, to choose one as a station ident.
Please note that any sound files submitted for any purpose for Radio Fury will be played as 128kbps, 44100Hz MP3s. Ideally, therefore, I would like files in that format, although I can obviously convert them if necessary.
Please DO NOT send any sound files to me at billyfury.com or peaksoft.co.uk email addresses, as my mailbox will suffer. Please use the media address email@example.com, then email me at email@example.com to tell me what you've sent.
Other suggestions for features, etc, gladly accepted.

If I only had a spare $60,000 lying around the Major Spoilers mansion, I'd head over to eBay and pick up my very own time machine – built out of a DeLorean.
The amazingly accurate car features a flux capacitor, a keypad that actually enters the date in the destination panel, and even more. If it wasn't for the rather silly audition reel posted on the site, one might think this car appeared in the movie, instead of some fan made creation.
There are still three days left in the auction if any Major Spoilerite wants to make my holiday a truly special one.

Not close enough to the real thing for me (or in my price range). The original wasn't an automatic and there are a few exterior details missing like the circuitry around the fenders. Pretty awesome detail on the inside though.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The Texas Senate has passed a bill to give property owners more protections when the government wants to take their land.
The bill prevents governments from taking land through a process called "eminent domain" unless it would be put toward public use. It would require governments to make a bona fide purchase offer and allow landowners to buy back the land after 10 years if the public project has not begun.
Gov. Rick Perry declared the issue an emergency for the legislative session.
Lawmakers have been tinkering with the eminent domain law for several years. The Senate passed the bill on a 31-0 vote.
The Senate passed a similar bill in 2009 but it died in the House.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Good! thanks for sharing!
Btw, whats that silver Cosmos? a CD pack in perhaps?
Compare & contrast ROTF Ironhide's face with 2007 Movie Ironhide's face! More on-the-real accurate improvement, right? And the same can be said about his cannons!
yeah, i jsut wish his color scheme didn't kinda blow, not feeling the grey at all.
this is preview Bumblebee right? remolded concept Camero mold -vs- wave 2(?) BB that is all new mold except the legs and is the production version?
Ah, the transforming candy box. I want one of those.
Not sure about that light blue on Smokescreen, I wish it were a little bit darker. Still, probably picking this up over Hasrbo's. This and Red Alert are my only interests of these scans. I have to say, those comparisons of the movie toys are pretty neat. Prime looks infinitely better, as do most of the characters.
I like the new head and cannons, but I will not but this Irnohide because he is not movie accurate color wise. I'm going to definitely get the Human Alliance Ironhide, though, as long as it is decent looking.
Damn. Starscream and Prime look worlds better than their 07 versions. Red Alert is LOVE and I can't wait for BBTS to send me my shipping notice
I agree and I've got an idea:
Just replace the head, hands, and cannons of 2007 Movie Ironhide (Regular or Premium) with those of ROTF Ironhide.
The head can be removed by simply unscrewing it on the bottom, the hands are attached by ball joints so removing requires a little push, and the mounting points for ROTF Ironhide's cannons look no different than those on 2007 Movie Ironhide, so that would be as easy as pie.
My guess is that it's just a desaturated pic.
I am going to wait and see if a black recolour is available. I've learned my lesson with the first movie.
I like the improved shape of ROTF Ironhide's head. Its a lot less blocky but those paint apps make it look like his head is all melty and lopsided, and not like the Twins where people are gonna bitch me out and say "its SUPPOSED to be like that don't you get it"
What he said.
BB's got an ugly missile. Removing that should improve its overall "appearance."
*Finding a ladder to climb up the fence..for now.*
It looks like you can get those with advanced ticket purchases. I went to one of the local theaters this weekend asking to see if they knew anything about those yet. They didn't have any information.
I hope they start carrying them before I deploy, if I can get a bunch (somehow), I'll be selling them to my fellow TFW2005'ers before listing them on ebay!
movie 1 starscream: small jet mode, fat bot mode.
rotf starscream: bigger jet mode, sleek bot mode.
glad i passed on movie 1 starscream. rotf starscream mold will be bought 3 times.
It's just kind of like a "m-flo used Henkei Adams on the back cover of their new album, go take a look at the CD store!" blurb.
That TF Logo, isn't that the the lunchbox?
Is it true that Ravage's alternate mode is a missle that is launched by Soundwave?
I wish Takara's ROTF Leader Movie Prime came with all the chrome goodness that their last release of Movie Prime came with. Oh well.
