Weekend Recap: Returning To A Mess
- Posted by Drew Epperley

- Heath Pearce, Julian De Guzman, MLS Weekend Recaps, Playoff Push 2009, Trades
One thing I like to do before I go on any trip is make sure my place is decently clean for my return. Well in the case of this past week for my wedding/honeymoon I was all prepared on that level except for when it came to getting back in the swing of things for soccer stuff. I came back into town this past weekend and saw a slew of random scores in Major League Soccer. Some were more predictable than others but some were just crazy.
Yes, the main score I am talking about is that wild 6-3 game at the Home Depot Center between FC Dallas and the LA Galaxy. I think I predicted something like 3-1 for LA on Saturday morning. Yeah apparently I was way off and that doesn't even begin to tell that story.
While I was gone I missed out on a few things. Where I was on my honeymoon the only access to the internet was through my iPhone and even the service there in Maui wasn't good enough to want to read up on things. So when I came back I had hundreds of messages and notes about different deals that had gone down. From Heath Pearce to Dallas (no shocker there in my opinion), to Julian de Guzman to Toronto (kind of shocking but in� a way not really).
Then I saw some fun deals like Jon Conway getting sent by New York to Chivas for a draft pick in the 2011 draft. I think I chuckled at that one for some reason. Same with the signing of Daniel Hernandez by FC Dallas. I guess Schellas Hyndman really wants FC Dallas to just be a bunch of his old SMU kids. They never won a national title there so I wouldn't expect anything great out of them in MLS.
So now after a week and a half of being out of things the league's playoff race looks a little different than when I left. The way I look at the standings here, the first tiebreaker goes to the club that has played the fewest matches. Next is head-to-head and then goal differential. Number of games played is presented before the clubs' record.
Columbus (24) 11-4-9, 42 points
Chicago (25) 10-6-9, 39
Houston (26) 11-8-7, 40 points
Los Angeles (25) 9-5-11, 38
Seattle (25) 9-6-10, 37 points
Chivas USA (23) 11-9-3, 36
Colorado (24) 10-8-6, 36
D.C. United (26) 8-6-12, 36
Real Salt Lake (25) 9-9-7, 34
Toronto (25) 9-9-7, 34
New England (23) 9-8-6, 33
Dallas (24) 7-11-6, 27
Kansas City (24) 7-11-6, 27
San Jose (22) 5-12-5, 20
New York (25) 4-17-4, 16
The big question for a couple clubs like Toronto, Salt Lake and New England is do they have the gas in the tank to get into the playoffs this season? I still see Salt Lake look on the outside, as possibly with Toronto. New England still strikes me as a club that could sneak in late here over a DC or Colorado.
Next, can Seattle hold on to that playoff spot and be the first expansion club since Chicago in 1998 to reach the post season? It will not get any easier for the Sounders with as many road games as they have left. Lucky for them they are starting to gain some confidence on the road.
And finally, my question that I've been asking since May, can New York reach 20 points this season? With a tough stretch of road games coming up it seems unlikely at this point.
Now as far as clubs clinching a playoff spot here in the next couple of weeks, Columbus should be the first to do so with I believe (if my math is correct) at least one more draw. Of course a win would easily do the trick. So be on the lookout for that to happen soon. I believe Houston could also clinch a spot with their next win as well.
Dallas, Kansas City and San Jose are another game or so away from being eliminated from contention this season. Each would have to win out the rest of their games just to have hope for a playoff spot and that doesn't even look good at this point.

Welcome to B.O.T. Aircraft Ltd.
We all have one great passion, the aviation. Among all the possibilities to get in the air, we believe that flying an ultra light airplane is something very special. Indeed, the sensation of flying is much stronger and intense with an ultra light compared to an echo-class aircraft. Due to the light mass, corrections or control commands are responded much faster and directly, giving the sensation of really flying. Less technical, flying an ultra light aircraft is more a matter of instinctive flying. Nevertheless, modern ultra light aircraft like the SC07 Speed Cruiser are very well equipped, especially regarding the active and passive security. All SC07 are delivered with a rescue system, so called "second chance". This is a parachute system attached to the aircraft, which may be pulled out by a rocket in a case of an emergency and capable to save all passengers.
B.O.T. Aircraft took the assignment to develop and to produce a most modern ultra light aircraft. Below the most important characteristics of the SC07:

Annie Caulfield
Writer of Glass Chair Chair Glass
Gordon Kennedy told me that someone had told him that Tommy Cooper once met Eugene Ionesco. I didn't need to hear any more. My favourite comedian and my favourite playwright could have been in the same room. Research showed dates and interests colliding; it could have happened. The collision was a great chance to write a play about comedy. There hasn't been one since The Comedians, written in the seventies. I had lots of questions. Mainly, where are the women in all of this? Is it true that if you didn't laugh you'd cry? Is comedy any real use to us in the bad world out there? What's the best kind of joke? Anyway, I had all kinds of fancy ideas about what I was trying to do with this play. But the main thing is the director and the cast made all kinds of things happen that are funny, sad, fascinating – and actually even FUNNIER than I'd imagined they could be.

The residential project Trinity Crest in Edappally is part of a Trinity Builders' property, which spans 2.5 acres of land. Trinity Crest offers 3 BHK flats with state-of-the-art amenities to boot. It is adjacent to Trinity Crown, Trinity Castle, and Trinity Coral, the three high-rise buildings from one of the top builders in Kochi.
The Trinity Builders' project is situated nearby NH 17 and 47, Edappally Junction, noteworthy shopping malls, places of worship, schools, hospitals, and top institutes in Cochin. Its nearest high-rise is that of Lulu International Shopping Mall. So, buying a flat in Trinity Crest can improve your quality of living as you have the best facilities nearby, even as the project itself is equipped with best in class features.
The residents of Trinity Crest, especially those living in the 15th storey, can get a panoramic view of the city they have come to call home. Apart from that, there are several other amenities in the high-rise luxury apartment project of Trinity, as you would expect from one of the top builders in Ernakulam.
The Amenities Trinity Crest Has to Offer
Take note of the features offered in the ready to occupy flats from Trinity Builders, and you will be hard-pressed to find a more luxurious investment opportunity other than this. Trinity Crest has home theater, broadband internet, indoor swimming pool, intercom facility, centralized gas supply, health club, kids' play area, and places for indoor partying and recreation.
One of the goals of Trinity Builders is to offer quality housing projects in Cochin for luxury homebuyers. The quality comes as a result of best practices when it comes to erection and foundation of the building, not just the luxury features, and Trinity Builders have ensured that in Trinity Crest. Besides the deeply piled foundation erected in Direct Mud Circulation method, and an earthquake resistant structure framed in Reinforced Cement Concrete, the apartment of Trinity offers vitrified tile flooring, to go with skid-resistant ceramic tiles in balconies and bathrooms.
Moreover, this is a gated community with the right features and security measures, so the safety is of the highest order for the occupants living in Trinity Crest. Surely, there is more to Trinity Crest than what is promised on paper, so get in touch with the builder to know more.

Mission Tales, Part 1: Learning the Language, Americans
Hey, I Speak This
By the time I hit the MTC, I had two years of high school Japanese, during which had I entered a regional Japanese-language contest. I took second place at the contest and felt pretty great about my Japanese skills. I knew I wasn't fluent, but I thought I might have an easier time at the MTC (Missionary Training Center) than the average missionary.
That "high school advantage" in terms of vocabulary and grammar lasted almost two weeks. It blew my mind. I had taken two YEARS of this stuff, and we got past week two and I was treading water just like everybody else. Still, I knew I had specific gifts for learning languages at that point, and a ton of excitement and interest in the new culture I was about to enter. Those things really help.
I do count language proficiency as one of my gifts--be it computer programming languages, design languages, or human languages. And I'm thankful for that gift. Still, from my second week in the MTC until about 16 months into my mission, I had a fairly low confidence in my ability to communicate with Japanese people. It was higher-than-average confidence, I think, so I imagine there were lots of missionaries who probably cried and prayed for help in improving their Japanese.
While recognizing and being thankful for my language gift, I felt like the relatively baroque phrases and lines of thought within my head would come out like these nasty bricks of awkward syntax and failed inflection.
People from all over the world have apparently visited the MTC to try to figure out how Mormon missionaries can become so fluent in their languages in just a couple years. I don't really think the key is in the MTC, although we did get some really helpful mnemonic devices and study strategies there. In fact, even the MTC teachers came back from these meetings with outsiders, shaking their heads and telling us, "these people have no concept of the spirit of God being available to you guys. They don't get how that could help you learn a language and speak to people."
We were in total agreement (with as much naiveté as you like), responding with statements like, "yeah...wow, that would suck, not to realize you can just learn a language by the spirit!" only to get hit by this TRUCK of a language the minute we hit the streets in our first mission area. It was exhausting. I counted it up and I had close to 100--not even kidding here--close to ONE HUNDRED meal appointments where I didn't understand 90% of what was being said. For example, we'd bike for 45 minutes to one retired woman's home because her daughter wanted us to teach her mother about the gospel, and she looked SO HAPPY to see us, and made us some of the best food we had ever tasted. Then we would start yawning halfway through her fourteenth introductory paragraph--she went on longer than usual, I think, because somebody had to do the talking, and it definitely wasn't going to be us! It wasn't that we were trying to be rude--we simply didn't have the words.
After all the Japanese study, we'd run into the occasional American or Canadian or other commonwealth member. It was awkward for me every single time. I always felt excited to form a bond with this person who shared a similar cultural background, but at the same time a missionary or just someone who lives in Japan is accustomed to being seen as very unique, like this special snowflake person who was in this foreign country. Usually, Japanese people were interested to know what we were doing there. So I'd kind of push my own cultural kin away at the same time. Plus, most of the people we met seemed to be in the middle of cementing their opinions about various things. They were in Japan to think about stuff. And our own strong feelings about one subject in particular (our religion) didn't make it super easy to build on common beliefs.
The American Upstairs
After about four months of living in this one apartment building together, Elder Karray and I finally realized we had never introduced ourselves to our neighbors. Nobody was home on the first floor except for our direct neighbor, and they had established already that they weren't interested, I think. It was the typical two-inch door opening and a quick rejection. Then upstairs, the second door we knocked opened and BOOM American guy. For us, this was pretty unique and awesome at that point. For him--and this still makes me chuckle--it was like, "oh, they have these Mormon guys here in Japan, too, DANGIT." He looked completely underwhelmed, and yet part of me wanted to cry out, "my brother!" Even though I believed everyone in Japan and indeed the world was my brother, this was an even closer brother, like maybe the brother you used to wrestle with because you were so close in age or something.
The guy invited us in just out of numb shock, and we sat down on his floor. "No couch, huh?" I thought. I think I decided that, in his place, even if I had to spend my last cent on it, I would definitely have a couch. Our apartment had this "couch" that was old and uncomfortable and only seated one person at a time. But we didn't have much time to think about or plan out our furniture. Very occasionally I would shiver with joy to think about all the time I would have after my mission, to think about furniture, books, normal stuff like that. As a full-time missionary, there was about zero time for that stuff unless you decided to shift your priorities around.
Anyway, the guy talked about his hometown in New York or wherever (I honestly don't remember) and then gave us his honest "I really am not into religion" thing and we were out of there. But there was still this awkward obligation between us--you could feel it--that if we really needed anything, he was there. And if he needed anything, we'd be happy to reciprocate. Bye now!
Philip Seymour Hoffman
There was one foreigner who I remember thinking was really sketchy. Sketchy not because he dressed weird or looked at us funny. Sketchy because he fit the stereotype of the American womanizer. He looked a lot like a really tall Philip Seymour Hoffman and he started dating this woman who directed our service projects at the city's International Center. She was smart and pretty. We really, REALLY liked her a lot. This was kind of mutual, too. Elder Franklin, my companion, told me that she occasionally tried flirting with Elder Simmons, my predecessor. And handsome football star guy. My nickname was "33"--because some Japanese guy thought I looked like I was that old--so there was no way she was doing that to me. But we all felt like she respected us, was thankful for our help, and generally sent us good vibes.
Anyway, Philip Seymour Hoffman had arrived on the scene, visiting her place of work to "study," or something, and began schmoozing with her all of the time. Pretty soon it became clear that the two of them had started a relationship. And it was even MORE clear that she really, really felt awkward at work now. He would go off and read, and she was definitely cool with that, but pretty soon he'd be up and chatting with her. She'd start turning red and would talk to him without looking up from her work, that sort of thing.
So one day about a month later when we were out on our bikes, looking for some new apartments to knock on, we came across this quiet little park bench that was somehow visible from every window within 50 yards. And these two, boyfriend and girlfriend, were sitting there on the bench.
And they were making out.
I don't know how much you know about Japan, but even as Americans who had been in-country for maybe 10 months, we knew this was wrong. And I don't mean "wrong to Mormons," but just "wrong in Japan, with Japanese people, period." We had been around people non-stop for that long, so it wasn't like this was book knowledge, either. Not that there aren't some free-thinking Japanese people in Japan who couldn't give a care, but I'll bet if we had taken a neighborhood poll right there around the bench, 99% of the neighborhood would have agreed. Of COURSE you don't just sit there and make out in public. Are you nuts?
So within about 25 microseconds, without even exchanging any words, the four of us had determined that 1) this Hoffman guy had just graduated to "total perv" (which still makes me laugh to think that we took it so seriously) and 2) we really, really did not like him. My new companion, Elder Rodriguez, was so upset that he just glared at this guy as he made eye contact. I was pretty embarrassed about Rodriguez's behavior since it wasn't really our place to be letting loose with our corny adolescent emotion on this guy we didn't even know, but Rodriguez really liked this lady as a friend and he felt he had to vent somehow.
It's still a little awkward to recall this story, because we were really in Japan to help people (through service, free English courses, etc.) and teach the gospel to people who were interested, but you just can't discount the role of hormones in any 20-year-old's existence. So we had our college kid moments.
Not all Mormons are the same, and they don't need to be
I realize that I may sound like I'm some kind of clued-in official representative of the LDS church here, and I'm really not, so I wanted to clarify my background a bit. I'm just a guy who was born into the church, ended up liking it, and made his own decisions to remain an active part of it after doing his best to compare alternative paths--paths I discovered both through serious study and serious slacking. On top of that, I still have plenty of ego left over and sometimes that makes for an awkward combination, like when people are expecting me to behave like some sort of goody two-shoes, or as we'd say in the church, "Peter Priesthood." (The female version being "Molly Mormon.") I have many stories in my wake of people who told me they were shocked to find I was not what they expected when they heard I was LDS. Each one of those becomes another trophy for my mental trophy case, but that's just my personality--I try not to fit the mold because I can't stand that kind of behavior. Who would want to let some organization--no matter how holy--do all their thinking for them?
Being in Japan just kind of amplified this outlier condition. I was different; anybody could see that. I was tall, caucasian, wore suits and ties, had this old bike helmet on my head and rode around on a trashed mountain bike after my nice new one got stolen. And my Japanese pronunciation, by around month 18 of my mission, was so good it was making people do these double-takes all the time. I would talk to people in their intercoms and they'd come to the door and see me and reflexively yell or scream or almost have a heart attack. But what was I supposed to do, keep the heavy American accent and just telegraph everything? I spoke good Japanese so I used it. Sometimes I wonder if I sounded too syrupy and unintentionally perfect, and turned people off as a result.
Sometimes Elder Franklin would get this huge grin on his face and tell me over and over, "when you talked back to that one guy, it made my ENTIRE day." I would feel awful about talking back to people (which happened only very rarely, believe me) but this poor kid Elder Franklin had been on a mission for six months, spoke some of the worst Japanese I had ever heard, had people shouting him down like 24/7, and he was ready for some serious payback. But mostly he just put his headphones on when we got home and doodled in his sketchbook for a while, trying to numb the pain before hitting the sack. So he loved it when that happened, when I almost lost control for a few seconds and let my Japanese skills work somebody over for treating us like garbage or sarcastically imitating Elder Franklin's Japanese or physically shoving me out of their doorway or telling us they hated caucasians. It all happened, and some days were worse than others.
Just who am I here to serve?
"I hope you can learn to love everyone you meet." Man, those were some words to hear. Our mission president was usually the one to deliver them, and you knew he had learned from his own mission experiences long ago. We tried really hard to reset ourselves every day, find a new neighborhood or a new person to visit and just be as cool as possible to them. We baked food, cleaned houses, read to the blind, just about every nice thing we could do. And eventually, I started just loving people almost all the time. But it didn't come to me until I started learning to love my companions.
You did what???
On one dark, quiet evening after our daily dose of rainfall, Elder Quince finally opened up to me.
"I stole dog food," he said. "For me and my sister to eat. My parents weren't really there for us."
Elder Quince was easily the most difficult companion I had on my mission. My mission president even warned me about him. He told me that this elder wanted to go home, and just needed some love. For the first three days during which Elder Quince was my companion, I felt completely nauseated. I literally felt like I had to throw up, all day long, so stressful was this new companion.
First of all Elder Quince had had enough of his mission. He REALLY wanted to go home but agreed to keep trying things out. I think the mission president wanted to show Elder Quince's chuch leaders back home that he at least tried and that their efforts to work with him weren't in vain. But Elder Quince should never have been let on a mission, as we will soon see.
Elder Quince rode at least 100 feet ahead of me on his bike from day one. This was about the worst feeling ever. He was pointedly showing me that he had no interest in me and thought he should be in charge. And it was completely ridiculous--I would have to stop at each turn and shout at him to turn around and come back so we could get to our destination. He would smile like, "I knew that" and lead the way again. After a half day of this I felt exhausted.
I learned later that Elder Quince used this tactic to send letters that he wasn't supposed to be sending. He had a semi-girlfriend somewhere in our mission (completely against the rules and actually pretty dumb-slash-desperate), and he would turn a corner ahead of me and pop his envelope into a mailbox when he was out of sight.
Next, Elder Quince had a habit of taking off his tie and just sitting down, looking completely wiped out. That really burned me up because he wasn't really doing any exhausting work. Later I learned that his mental condition was just exhausting him.
Finally, Elder Quince would just flat out tell you what you would do or not do. He wanted things done his way.
Elder Quince had daily phone calls with our mission president. This is like, a huge deal. The mission president is a very busy man. If he is talking to you daily, you are being triaged, you are in the emergency room, on the table (so to speak), riddled with bullet holes.
One day Elder Quince handed the phone to me and said, "he wants to talk to you." I hadn't been listening in, because Elder Q. valued his privacy and used a different room for his phone calls, so this was a surprise. I picked up the phone. After some pleasantries, the mission president gave me some instructions.
"I need you to take Elder Quince to an appointment with a doctor. It's out of your area, but it'll be fine, just go as a translator and help him out."
The doctor was a psychiatrist. Wow, neat, I had never met a Japanese psychiatrist before. AND I got to take a nice long train ride out of our area! That was a big deal. Not many missionaries got to do that.
Somehow Elder Quince and I bonded a bit during the train ride. Now that we were out of our mission-assigned area, it seemed like we were on more relatable terms, on neutral ground. Elder Quince would tell jokes and I'd laugh, or I'd point something out and share with him some information about Japan, and he'd listen intently. When we arrived at the psychiatrist's office, I wondered how the doctor would feel about Elder Quince. Was this missionary a serious case, or was he just a big faker?
The psychiatrist was not amused. He looked even less amused to have me there as a translator. So much for doctor-patient confidentiality. After asking a series of questions, he turned to me with a brief summary of his thoughts.
"This guy is in a state of serious mental anxiety and depression, OK? And here he is, in a foreign country, with a foreign culture, trying to learn to speak fluently in a foreign language, just to get through a single day in a normal fashion. Just to be accepted."
Oh. Right. Gulp. (But it wasn't my fault, I swear, doc!)
"This is not OK. I don't see how he can heal in these circumstances. He should not be here." Bang. That was it.
We left the office, walked to the train station, and suddenly all of Elder Quince's cards were on the table. My eyes started to sting a bit as I thought about how much effort he put into making himself look like he was in control. And how hard he was trying to fit in. No wonder he would occasionally just collapse into a chair from exhaustion.
Elder Quince had been abused as a child. Basically treated like an animal, at times. As I said, he had to steal dog food at some point to feed himself and his sister. As he shared all these things with me, I wondered why he had to prove anything to anyone. He deserved to be vacationing at a five-star resort, all expenses paid. Instead, a bunch of well-meaning people had brought him closer to God and encouraged him to become a full-time missionary.
Elder Quince should not have been a missionary. He needed time to heal, and instead he was given more wounds to cope with.
The mission president told me that someday this would be a helpful experience for me. "You've learned that not everybody should serve a mission," he said.
What I really learned was that love, the true nurturing kind of love, sometimes requires creativity and out-of-the-box thinking that some people are afraid to offer. A group of people pushed Elder Quince on a mission, but I'll bet there were some in that group who had serious doubts. They knew he needed more time, maybe. Or they knew that the mission was not meant as a kind of medicinal remedy to heal Elder Quince's ills.
I saw Elder Quince get in a fight with another missionary once, before we went to the psychiatrist together. The other missionary accused Elder Quince of stealing his pocketknife. To be honest, I thought he probably did steal it. Elder Quince wasn't really in control of himself, and stealing a pocketknife would have been small potatoes for him. The two challenged each other until they were in a heap, wrestling on our apartment floor. Elder Quince put up a fight for about five seconds, then he flopped his head back and shouted loudly, letting his body go limp. Then he began to cry, loudly, in front of all of us. I was stunned--I instantly felt ashamed that I didn't stand up for Elder Quince. The other two elders in the apartment, including Elder Quince's accuser, looked embarrassed. They looked like they wanted to apologize. They figured they were up against a real tough guy, but in reality they were up against the tough shell of a ruined guy. It was absolutely pitiful, and we could all feel it. Deep, confounding pity for Elder Quince as he lay on the floor, sobbing.
I loved Elder Quince. I still love him deeply, even though I haven't talked to him since I was transfered from that area. I gave him a goodbye hug at the train station and headed to my next area with a heavy heart for Elder Quince. Deep in my heart, I hope he went back to the states. I hope he found a nice job doing something he was good at, settled down, and figured out how to live a comfortable life. Elder Quince could have broken every mission rule in existence, and it would only have convinced me further that he deserves all those good things, and more.
Partying with the Outcasts
When I arrived at my first apartment in my first area, I was completely stunned to see a gigantic stereo system on my study desk. In fact, it spanned two study desks--mine and my companion's. The speakers were huge, and seemed to have more cones than you would ever need to express most sounds in existence. This...this was something weird. Where was I? On a mission for the Mormon church, or in some foreign CIA office disguised as a humble missionary apartment? With white guys in ties who put on an innocent face in public and then went home and jammed to their tunes all night?
As it turned out, the stereo was garbage. Literal garbage.
My new companion, Elder Lamont, proudly explained that some local Brazilians had retrieved it from the community garbage pile, just for us. "Elders, you need a stereo," they said. And boom, the next day a stereo appeared at the door.
The Brazilians and Peruvians and Guatemalans were always going through the garbage. Japan had the best trash you would ever find. People threw away new stuff all the time. The word for "new stuff," "shinpin," was so often on the lips of one of our Brazilian friends that I can still hear his voice almost cracking with high-pitched excitement. "Elders! Kore! Mite! SHINPIN!!!!" ("Elders! This! Look! BRAND NEW!") His mouth would hang open in shock as he examined his new tennis racket, or soccer shoes, or dress watch. All there for the taking.
The Japanese members did not approve. In fact, it was pretty clear to us that they really hated seeing fellow Mormons go scavenging in their neighbors' trash. I could empathize--it would irritate me, too, to see someone making in effect a judgment call about my stupidity or lack of consideration in letting perfectly good things go off to some garbage dump as long as there were poor people in the world.
But to some missionaries, this feeling was like a sweet elixir. A magical potion for the ego.
See, Japanese church members had a bit of a hangup, in some ways. (They were a lot like American church members, actually.) They weren't terribly awesome at sharing the message of the gospel with their friends. It was awkward, and seemed a bit like anti-social behavior in a country where everybody just tried to harmonize all the time. And they definitely did not enjoy watching an American missionary massacre their great language as he tried to teach their friends the gospel. Consequently, there wasn't a lot of that kind of teaching to be done.
The South American members, on the other hand, were INCREDIBLE missionaries. They would tirelessly send us referrals. They would let us teach anybody they knew! Even Japanese people! Even their die-hard Japanese Buddhist bosses from work--from these jobs that they depended on! It was incredible. They had no fear, it seemed to us.
So when we saw Japanese people get upset at Brazilians, or Peruvians, or whatever, there was a little bit of joy in that for us. I'm kind of ashamed to admit it, because of course we were there to serve the Japanese people (or just everyone in general) and love them, and yet there were so many little opportunities to get annoyed with people. We rejoiced in seeing these "outcast" South Americans, who didn't really seem to be accepted by Japanese, absolutely kick butt at making friends and introducing people to Jesus Christ. These people were absolutely amazing to us.
Some of the missionaries would just come out and say it. Elder Franklin used to walk right up to the Japanese church leaders and say things like, "why don't Japanese people like doing missionary work?" or "why are Japanese people so afraid to talk to other people about their beliefs?" Perfectly reasonable questions in SOME ways, but he was completely goading them. He wanted them to feel his frustration at having a practically empty teaching pool for Japanese people, and an overflowing pool of Brazilians to teach. I remember watching our Japanese bishop grit his teeth a bit and then give a soft response.
It is really hard to be a missionary and not fall into a kind of "car salesman" mindset. You are trying to get people to "buy" the gospel, or get baptized, and whatever stands in your way is just meaningless garbage. Sometimes you wanted to erupt in frustration at the bishop who wouldn't let you baptize someone who was clearly not mentally competent, but who you had convinced yourself was a child of God nonetheless. There were many stories of American missionaries who became secretly upset with Japanese church members and then channeled that upset feeling into a deep, loving relationship with the Brazilian members.
To be honest, I found that pretty sad. I loved the Japanese people enough that I could feel their frustration. They wanted to be as susccessful as anybody else at sharing their life philosophy with others. But their society was so refined, so nuanced, that it wasn't an easy fit.
Whenever the Brazilians or Peruvians would invite us to a party, we had a blast. But even though they were so good to us, I felt an earnest confusion inside. I knew I had a mission to fulfil among the Japanese people. I loved them. But it was difficult to resign myself to the fact that it was just easier to baptize (and party with) Brazilians.

July 8th, 2014 | By Nick Sargen
The most prominent feature of financial markets in the first half of this year is how calm they have been. U.S. stock market volatility, as measured by the VIX, is the lowest since the onset of the Global Financial Crisis in mid-2007. The market has not had a pullback of 10% or more for two years now. Similarly, corporate bond yields and spreads versus Treasuries are down to pre-crisis levels and currency markets have been unusually quiet. The main reason is that investors are comfortable with the fact that the Federal Reserve is not in a hurry to raise short-term interest rates, even as it winds down its bond purchase program.
The biggest surprise has been a 50 basis point drop in U.S. Treasury yields. It occurred as the economy got off to a weak start, with real GDP declining at a 2.9% annual rate in the first quarter. This decline was partly in response to an unusually severe winter and to changes in healthcare provisions related to the Affordable Care Act. Growth abroad also faltered, and concerns about the possibility of deflation have increased in Europe. Consequently, bond yields in the periphery of the euro-zone are approaching those in the United States, while yields for core countries, such as Germany and France, are more than a full percentage point lower.
Most economic forecasters are undeterred by the weak start. While they have lowered their projections of U.S. economic growth for the calendar year to about 2.25% from 3% previously, the consensus forecast calls for real GDP growth to average 3% in the second half. We believe this pace is attainable considering the economy regained traction in the second quarter and has momentum heading into the third quarter. From our perspective, the most encouraging developments are (i) the upward trend in nonfarm payrolls with average monthly gains of more than 200,000 workers for the past twelve months; and (ii) purchasing manager surveys that show solid gains in manufacturing and services. The caveat, however, is that the economy does not appear poised for a decisive breakout from the 2.2% trend growth rate of the past five years.
Amid these developments, U.S. inflation bottomed in the first quarter, with Core CPI reaching a 1.6% annual rate. Through May, it has risen to 2.0% and forecasters are predicting that it will stay near that level or drift higher in the balance of this year.
For its part, the Federal Reserve is not concerned that inflation is heating up, and it believes some of the recent rise reflects volatile components, such as food and energy prices. In her recent FOMC testimony, Janet Yellen described the inflation data as being "noisy." The pick-up is consistent with the Fed's own forecasts, and it has not been accompanied either by a broad-based increase in wages or by a rise in long-term inflation expectations. Therefore, Fed leadership continues to believe that its top priority is to lessen slack in the labor force rather than fight inflation.
Accordingly, the bond market is not pricing in the Fed to begin raising interest rates gradually until mid-2015 at the earliest. We concur with this assessment, but still expect bond yields to likely move higher in the second half as the economy gains traction.
Compared with the situation at home, developments abroad are more complex, as investors must contend with several cross-currents. As in the United States, the latest purchasing manager surveys show a pickup of economic activity in Asia and Europe following a weak start. However, the economic picture in many parts of the world is clouded by political uncertainties, especially in the Middle East, Russia, and Ukraine.
In Europe, there are signs the euro-zone is recovering very gradually from recession; however, unemployment in the periphery is stuck at record levels. Moreover, inflation has declined steadily in the region, and is now down to 0.5%. The European Central Bank (ECB) has responded by charging interest on banks' excess reserves while also creating incentives for banks to lend to businesses. We believe the ECB should ease more aggressively to reduce the risk of deflation. No one questions the ability of central banks to fight inflation, but markets are justifiably nervous about the potential for deflation to worsen Europe's debt woes.
The political developments in the Middle East are particularly difficult to assess. For the time being, markets have taken the news in stride, and oil prices have increased only moderately – less than $5 per barrel. The wildcard in the outlook is the possibility that turmoil in Iraq and Syria could lead to civil war and spread to other countries, resulting in a spike in oil prices. In that event, economic growth prospects in the United States and abroad would be hindered while headline inflation rates would increase. In such circumstances, we would expect the Fed to delay tightening monetary policy beyond 2015, and bond yields would likely decline.
Amid all these uncertainties, we have not made major changes in positioning portfolios. In fixed income, we are maintaining an underweight duration position and are modestly overweight in credit risk. In balanced portfolios, we are continuing to overweight equities relative to bonds by a moderate amount. This reflects our view that valuations relative to bonds are reasonable, and Fed policy seems likely to remain supportive for an extended period.

- Playing the game: the turn
Posted by : Unknown Monday, May 26, 2014
A tremendous amount of action takes place in a battle: squads are constantly manoeuvring and shooting, tanks rumble into action and artillery fire roars overhead in a torrential downpour of destruction.
A game of Halo Tactics represents the flow of battle but, in order to turn the chaos into a manageable game, players alternate taking turns moving and fighting with their characters.
Initiative Roll
A skirmish begins with an initiative roll to determine who goes first. Each player rolls 2d6. The player with the higher initiative roll chooses who goes first. (Reroll ties.) Sometimes you'll want to go first; other times you'll want to see what your opponent is up to before committing your forces.
Rounds, Phases, and Turns
A skirmish is played in rounds.
One round is divided in several Phases. In each phase, players activate characters in their squads to take actions, each activating two characters at time. You can only activate a character once in a round (see pushing below), and you must active 2 characters in phase. If you do not have any characters to activate your phase is over.
When both players have activated all their characters, the round is over.
When you activate a character you can give him one free action and one action (see actions below)
First Player: Activates two characters, one at a time. Activating two characters this way is called a phase.
Second Player: Activates two characters, one at a time.
First Player: Activates two more characters. These are characters that have not been activated yet this round.
Second Player: Activates two more characters. These are characters that have not been activated yet this round.
Repeat until all the characters have activated. Sometimes a player has more characters than his or her opponent and activates many characters at the end of the round.
Each character can be activated only once in a round. When a character activates, that is the character's turn. To indicate that a character has been activated in a round, put an action token or turn its stat card.
A round ends when all players have activated all their characters once. Then a new round begins with a new initiative roll.
As we see before both players alternate phases in a turn. The order that a Turn must be played is this:
1. Roll for initiative
2. Phase A: Player A activate 2 characters.
3. Phase B: Player B activate 2 characters.
4. Repeat Phase A and B until all Characters are activated or has an Action token (see action Tokens later).
5. Repeat Step 1.
During your phase, you must activate two characters, when you activate a character you can give him any number of free actions and one action. When a character is given an action, that action can be used for only one power or ability that requires that type of action to activate.
You must completely resolve the activation of one character before you activate the next character, also you must completely resolve one action before you begin the next action.
Resolving an action includes resolving any free actions or game effects that action allows followed by applying action tokens and then pushing damage to each character that received a second action token during that action. A character can never be given more than one non-free action per turn.
Each phase you must activate two characters per turn, until all your characters have being activated. You can give a unit only one action per turn. Some actions involve moving your unit, attacking with your unit, or both.
All aspects of these actions are described in this section. Choose from the following options when assigning actions to your units:
Each phase you get two actions to give to your units. You can give a unit only one action per turn. Some actions involve moving your unit, attacking with your unit, or both.
All aspects of these actions are described in this section. Choose from the following options when assigning actions to your units:
1. MOVE: Move the Character. The character can move up to his speed value in MU or squares.
2. RUN/ FULL SPEED: The character speed increase in +6", but he cannot make any attack during this phase.
3. ATTACK: The unit can shoot at (see "Shooting"), throw a grenade at (see "Grenades"), or use a special ability against (see "Attacking") an enemy unit (a unit controlled by an opponent).
4. MOVE AND ATTACK: Move the unit and then attack (shoot, throw a grenade, or use a special ability). If your unit moves up to 4 MU (or squares) and attacks, it does not suffer any attack penalties. If your unit moves more than 4 MU (or squares), it can still attack, but you must subtract -3 from its attack value.
5. ATTACK AND COVER: The unit can attack and then move up to 4 MU (or squares).
6. Move and OPEN A DOOR: The character can move up to his speed value, if at the end of his movement is next to a door (in base contact) he can open the door. The door will remain open until the character move away or is KO.
7. OPEN A DOOR and MOVE: If the character is next to a door (in base contact) he can open the door and then move up to 4 MU (or squares). The door will close after this if is no character in base contact with the door.
8. OPEN A DOOR and ATTACK: If the character is next to a door (in base contact) he can open the door and then attack, but you must subtract -3 from its attack value.
9. Do a Power/ Special Action: You can use one of your powers or special actions.
10. Don't do anything: You can choose to don't make an action when activate the character.
"Replaces Attacks": Sometimes the text of a special ability or power says that it "replaces attacks." In this case, a character can use that special ability or power instead of making its usual attack. A character can use this power if he is able to make an attack and has the same penalties if he moved more than 4 spaces, also if he makes the special ability or power before moving he can only move up to 4 spaces.
When you give a character any action (other than a free action – see below), give the character an action token as the action resolves and put it near the character's base on the map. You can use any small object, such as a coin or bead, as an action token. A token reminds all players that a character has been given an action.
An action token can be as simple as a dice, coin or complex as a proper marker that you modelled for this specific event. IN the end of this rulebook and in the Halo Tactics web site you can find several tokens that you can print and use for your games.
No game effect can result in more than 2 action tokens on a character. If part of a game effect would cause this to happen, that part of the game effect is ignored. Whoever, a character can be activated several times in a turn, giving him more than one action token, also some powers can confer an action token in a character. If a player get a second Action token, that character suffer Pushing damage (see Pushing, below)
At the end of your turn, after you and your opponent have finished taking and resolving all of your actions (including free actions that occur "at the end of your turn") and declared your turn to be over, remove all action tokens from each of the characters the battlefield. This is called "clearing" your action tokens.
You can activate a character more than one time in a round, this is called PUSHING a character. To PUSH a character you must select a character that is at no more than 12" from the character you want to "push" and activate that character that has no action tokens (is not yet activated in the turn), this character is "given up" his activation for his teammate.
One character can Push a teammate that is not more than 12" of distance. Doing this put another action token on the target teammate and allow him to activate immediately for a second (or even more) time.
When a character is activated a second (or more) time, receives one pushing damage after his action is resolve. Game effects that evade, reduce, ignore, or transfer damage do not affect pushing damage unless the effect specifically says it does.

NASA-Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio
Lubricant jet flow impingement and penetration depth into a gear tooth space were measured at 4920 and 2560 using a 8.89-cm- (3.5-in.) pitch dia 8 pitch spur gear at oil pressures from 7 × 104 to 41 × 104 N/m2 (10 psi to 60 psi). A high speed motion picture camera was used with xenon and high speed stroboscopic lights to slow down and stop the motion of the oil jet so that the impingement depth could be determined. An analytical model was developed for the vectorial impingement depth and for the impingement depth with tooth space windage effects included. The windage effects on the oil jet were small for oil drop size greater than 0.0076 cm (0.003 in.). The analytical impingement depth compared favorably with experimental results above an oil jet pressure of 7 × 104 N/m2 (10 psi). Some of this oil jet penetrates further into the tooth space after impingement. Much of this post impingement oil is thrown out of the tooth space without further contacting the gear teeth.

Not since the season opener against Maine on November 12th had the Legends (7-6) dropped a home game, winning three in a row. On Friday night they dropped to the Westchester Knicks (7-4), D-League affiliate of the New York Knicks, 132-124.
The Legends put together a last effort run, having trailed by 18 heading into the 4th quarter. The top scorer in the D-League, Pierre Jackson only raised his average with 42 big ones tonight. It's his fourth straight game of 29 or more points and his fifth 30-point game in the first half of December.
Jackson also had 8 assists, 8 rebounds and attempted 15 free throws, making 12 (80%).
Manny Harris chipped in 21 and Quincy Acy had 19 with four --count em, four-- blocked shots. Harris also had five steals. Jameel Warney (14) and C.J. Williams (10) also contributed double figures. Kyle Collinsworth put up 7 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals in his familiar versatile box score.
Legends assistant coach and 9-year NBA vet Charlie Bell says the defense must improve for the team to start reaching their full potential.
"I think the last two games defensively we haven't been locked in," Bell says. "When we come out and we play aggressively on defense, it's hard for teams to score on us. When we come out and just go through the motions like we did tonight, we let (the other team) get going.
He also points to ball control, stressing teamwork and holding back turnovers.
"We got a lot of great players on our team. I think we gotta do a better job of distributing the ball. We're making some unforced turnovers sometimes. We didn't really have a training camp together so they kind of learn on the fly. I think they're starting to learn each other better and better every game.
He does think that very soon you will start to see the payoff. "I think as the season goes forward they're only gonna get better playing with each other."
Legends "Super Fan" Cheers Team On
Terry Halterman has had his season tickets since "before the floor was put down." Halterman, who fittingly goes by @LegendsSuperfan on Twitter, is a Legends season ticket who sits smack dab next to the visiting bench.
Every game he brings a blackboard sign with him and personalizes different messages throughout the game, often directing playful jabs at the opposing team he practically shares a couch with.
"I've been doing this since I got these seats," he says, sporting a Spud Webb jersey. "I don't wanna be rude. If they're paying attention to me then they're not paying attention to the coach. That benefits the Legends (laughs), so I'm helping!"
He hasn't always had the pro-grade sign. In year one he had a small sign, until it was broken by an opposing coach. "Next night I brought a board twice as big."
This reaction from the visitors is definitely the exception, not the rule. "Some coaches that have been here look for us. One actually congratulated me on my marriage.
"People will tell us they were asked, 'Is that sign guy still there?'
Halterman rotates through quite a few messages, with the pace of the game dictating when and what he writes with his silver marker.
"I go through 15-to-20 signs or so (a game). More if we're winning. Sometimes the opposing guys give it right back," he laughs. "They give it right back to me."
Halterman has a lucky history with the franchise. He won the team's very first car giveaway back in 2012, a Fiat 500c which he proudly displays in his Twitter profile picture.
Asked if he has a favorite sign, he points out the one that reads 'Hey bus driver, start the bus' if the Legends are on the verge of a victory. The expression came from a security guard named Rob, a friend of Halterman's family. "Every game I try to use that because he gave me that sentence."
The team also recognized DART Police Officer and season ticket holder Misty McBride at halftime in an emotional ceremony. McBride was among the 11 officers targeted in Dallas. McBride was shot twice while aiding civilians. She survived and has undergone multiple surgeries but is recovering well and looks to continue her service in 2017.
The Legends have given her and her family season tickets for life.
Texas hits the road for a three-game trip starting in Northern Arizona against the Suns, affiliate of the Phoenix Suns. They will play a matinee on Sunday at 4 PM CST. Their next home game is Friday, December 30th at 7 PM CST vs. Reno, with Legends Superfan sure to be in attendance.

Costa Rica is moving toward carbon neutrality faster than any other country in the world.
Costa Rica's president, Carlos Alvarado, announced in 2018 a plan to make his country the first carbon-neutral nation in the world by 2021, the 200th anniversary of its independence.
Read the latest article in the Financial Times about how Costa Rica will complete its drive to go carbon free.
Let me preface my statements with a little bit about myself.
I have attended numerous schools in the past 40 years (though none were language schools).
Intercultura is all about its people, and that is not just our staff and our host mothers, but also about our students.
July 25th is the most important cultural holiday in the province of Guanacaste
Guanacaste in Costa Rica is not only well-known for its spectacular beaches but also for its abundant farmlands, dry forests and cowboy-esque culture. Some of the major towns of the province such as Liberia, Santa Cruz, and Nicoya proudly celebrate Annexation Day with a wide variety of cultural activities such festivals, topes de payasos, folk dances, bull riding, parades, and others.
My experience at Intercultura Costa Rica was unforgettable. All of the staff (teachers, custodians, receptionists) treat everyone with respect and absolute kindness. The teachers are amazing at catering to everyone's needs and effectively teaching Spanish culture and language through activities inside and outside a classroom. Also, during my time at the school, I met people from all over the globe who are trying to learn Spanish as well. It was an incredibly eye-opening cultural exchange.
This week's #interculturaesgente post is about Patrick from Boston who studied Spanish for 4 weeks at our Heredia campus in May. As usual we asked him our "famous" five questions. :-)
Discover historic Heredia
Seraina and Aurelia, two sisters from Switzerland, spent 4 weeks at our Spanish school in Playa Sámara and enjoyed their time to the fullest. They particularly enjoyed the time together with their hostfamily.
Homestay mother Alice shares a house with her daughter Estefanía and his grandson Matías.
The sisters left a heart-warming note for them in Spanish:
We love to support Spanish learning blogs that provide great articles in Spanish. We find them to be helpful for Spanish learners who are looking for sources to read and practice their Spanish.
This week's #interculturaesgente post is all about Majed from Saudi Arabia and his travelings through Latin America. This time we asked the following questions:
Why do you want to learn Spanish?

Town of West Stockbridge
21 State Line Road, West Stockbridge, MA 01266
Septic Systems
All houses and businesses not on the municipal sewer system are served by septic systems. The Massachusetts regulations governing septic systems known as Title 5 (310 CMR 15.000) are the minimum standards for construction and maintenance. The DEP web page for septic systems is:
Percolation tests and soil evaluations conducted by a certified Soil Evaluator and witnessed by the Board of Health will determine if a site is suitable for a disposal system. All new systems and most upgrades must be designed by a Massachusetts Registered Engineer or Registered Sanitarian. System installers must be certified by the Berkshire County Boards of Health Assn. and hold a current installer license issued by the Town of West Stockbridge.
Procedure for permitting wells and septic systems:
Well & Septic System Permitting Process
Application for Disposal System Construction Permit:
DEP form:
Note: Following documents will need a pdf viewer such as Adobe Reader
Print Out, Complete, & Submit to Board of Health
Local short form:
Applicatiion for a Disposal System Construction Permit
Local application for system installer:
Application for Permit to Install Private Sewage Disposal Systems
Title 5 Inspection
With certain exceptions such as family transfers, Title 5 requires that all septic systems be inspected within two years prior to sale of a property. An inspection may be ordered by the Board of Health. The Title 5 inspection is conducted by a state-approved system inspector and witnessed by the Board of Health agent. Information on Title 5 inspections may be found at:
The Title 5 inspection may designate the system pass, conditional pass, needs further evaluation by the local approving authority, or fail. A pass means none of the failure criteria in the inspection have been met. Conditional pass means that the system will pass with repair or replacement of certain components of the system, such as replacement of a septic tank or distribution box. Further evaluation usually refers to a system which may not meet current construction standards or setback distances, such as to a drinking water well. The Board of Health will make a determination if the system passes after reviewing well water test results or other conditions. If a system fails, the homeowner normally has two years to repair or replace the system, unless the Board of Health deems the system to be a health or environmental threat, in which case a shorter deadline may be established
Title 5 Tax Credit: There is a Massachusetts tax credit up to $6000 available for repair or replacement of failed septic systems available for a principal residence. For information see:
Please consult with your tax preparer about eligibility.

If it were the case, Libuscha could almost be termed a paradise. Unfortunately, like Libuscha's Banksia Plains, the skies of Libuscha are also teaming with life that both resilient relentlessly aggressive. One such life-form is the Libuschan Sky Urchin.
Sky Urchins are spiny, globular animals that, with their close kin, such as sky mites, constitute the class Echinoidea of the echinoderm phylum. About 950 species of echinoids inhabit all Libuschan skies up to the stratosphere. The shell, or "test", of sky urchins is round and spiny, typically from 1 to 2 meters across and surrounds an internal gas bladder that provides the urchin with its buoyancy. Common colors include green, olive, brown, purple, blue, and red.
Much like their land-bound cousins the Banksia, Sky Urchins are aggressive omnivores. Sensitive to movement, they'll plummet from hundreds of meters out of the sky, impaling their prey on their spines before rising up to feed into the sanctuary of the sky.
Urchins don't restrict to themselves to terrestrial targets either. Draw as they are to movement, should they sense an aircraft they'll commencing trailing the same. This can result in hundreds or even thousands of urchins converging in on the hapless vehicle, clogging intakes and overwhelming control systems. Worse still, even should the vehicle evade the urchins, they can unwittingly lead a ravenous horde of urchins back to their port which can quickly overwhelm all but the most sophisticated of defensive systems.
Use in the Game (Rogue Planet)Sky Urchins are treated as dangerous terrain that may be employed by a Player as a Counter Action to any of their opponent's movement-based Action (Move, Charge etc). When doing so, a Rogue Die is included in their opponent's Skill Check. The Rogue Die result, should it match one or both of the results on the two Skill Die, that die or dice is discounted. Should the Skill Check result in a Failure, then apply the Rogue Die as damage to the target.
In the event of a Critical Failure, then also effect a Sky Urchin attack on each and every unit (CQ5 +1 vs Small) on the board, representing a swarm of urchins descending upon the battlefield.

1. Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence and advanced machine learning are composed of technologies and processes like deep learning and neural networks. Techniques are moving beyond rule-based algorithms to create systems that understand, learn, predict, adapt and potentially operate autonomously making smart machines appear "intelligent". As encouraging as AI and machine learning sounds, many people don't realize that as AI evolves, so does its criminal potential.
2. Intelligent Apps
Intelligent applications such as virtual personal assistants (VPAs) are making everyday tasks easier. VPNs and virtual customer assistants (which promise to enhance customer service and sales) should transform the nature of work and structure of the workplace.
3. Intelligent Things
Intelligent things, such as drones, autonomous vehicles and smart appliances, permeate the environment, but we expect to see a shift from stand-alone intelligent things to a collaborative intelligent things model. Intelligent things will leverage AI and ML to interact with humans and surroundings.Smartphones, smartwatches and smartglasses will partner with intelligent things and form a Smart Ecosystem.
4. Virtual and Augmented Reality
Immersive technologies, such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), have captured the imagination of gamers and other consumers, but they will increasingly have business-to-business implications. We are still in the beginning stages of VR and AR and we will evolve dramatically through 2021. We will see rooms and spaces become active with things, and their connection through the mesh will appear and work in conjunction with immersive virtual worlds.
5. Digital Twin
Within three to five years, hundreds of millions of things will be represented by digital twins. A digital twin is a dynamic software model of a physical thing or system that relies on sensor data to understand its state, respond to changes, improve operations and add value. Organizations will use digital twins to proactively repair and plan for equipment service, to plan manufacturing processes, to operate factories, to predict equipment failure or increase operational efficiency, and to perform enhanced product development.
6. Blockchain Technology
Current blockchain technology hype is around the financial services industry, but a growing number of industries have joined the party. According to the Economist, a blockchain is a distributed database that maintains a continuously-growing list of records called blocks secured from tampering and revision. Each block is chained to the previous block, and the process is noted in a specially encrypted peer-to-peer network.
7. Conversational Systems
Currently the focus for conversational interfaces is focused on chatbots and microphone-enabled devices. Soon, they will move from chatbots to a broader digital mesh, which will move to an expanded range of endpoints that we will all interact with on a daily basis. These will work together to a growing extent. This will enhance ambient digital experience in the process.
8. Digital Technology Platforms
Digital technology platforms provide the basic building blocks for a digital business. There are five major focal points to enable digital capabilities and business models:
- Information systems
- Customer experience
- Analytics and intelligence
- IoT
- Business ecosystems
Every organization will have some mix from across these five digital technology platforms. The platforms provide the basic building blocks for a digital business and are a critical enabler to become a digital business.

I bought my camera from an outfit called the Southern Advantage Co., Inc. The fellow I dealt with was Ed Sturt. soadv.@mindspring.com, 4636 Dawnwood Dr., Charlotte, NC 28212, 704-532-2176, 800-632-6076, fax 704-532-4597. The camera actually was drop shipped from some place in Texas.
Power supply/cable for using 12v battery packs:
NRG Research, Inc.
840 Rogue River Highway
Bldg. #144
Grants Pass, OR 97527
541-471-6251 fax
model no. for VX-1000 cable is: 2SD01 w/ cigarette lighter jack ($64.95)
2SD04 w/4-pin XLR ($74.95)
12v battery packs are Cool-Lux 7.0 amp/hr. lead-calcium electrolyte, model no. L-7.0. These are available w/either cig. lighter jacks or 4-pin XLR. I paid extra for the 4-pin XLR because of the security of locking connectors, but they used some off-brand connectors that don't lock very well. I'm thinking of changing them all to Switchcraft brand so they will all lock together. It would have been cheaper to buy the cigarette lighter versions of everything and then put good 4-pin connectors on myself. (BTW, pin 1 is ground and 4 is positive)
I also bought a nifty camera light from Cool-Lux called the Mini-Cool 2000.
It runs off 12 volt. I built a little box with one 4-pin XLR male that splits to
(2) 4-pin XLR female jacks. That way I can run the camera and the light off one
battery pack. You could make up a y-cable, but I chose to use chasis jacks in a
little aluminum box to avoid the possibility of connections going bad from
bending. I put a belt clip on the little box.
Cool-Lux Lighting Ind., Inc., 409 Calle San Pablo, #105, Camarillo, CA 93012, 805-482-4820.
.5x wide angle convertor lens is "Kenko Video Wide Converter VC-050Hi 0.5X" made in Japan. It requires a 52mm to 49mm adapter ring to fit onto the 52mm threads of the camera's lens. BTW, 52mm is the size of standard Nikon filters, which is pretty convenient. My Nikon UV filters, etc. screw right on. I told Ken Rife about the Kenko .5x lens and he went out and bought one. His turned out to be different than mine - it's physically smaller. But his vignettes! (cuts off the corners) I couldn't believe it. Make sure you specify my model no. or you might get the wrong one. Ken's said Kenko, it was a .5x, but it was a totally different lens. I bought my lens and the Steadicam from the same place I got the camera from. (and at the same time)
My bag is by Quantaray. Amazing! I just found the tag that came w/it. sitting on my desk! Model no. is 44-166-0834. The UPC bar code no. is 81097 44083. The tag also says that the model is "QS-DF Double-Feature SLR/Camcorder Case 44-166-0834." It says "QS Series." Mine is black. I bought one for my church at the same time that is grey. It was about $100.00 as I recall. Manufactured in Korea for Ray Enterprises, Inc., Beltsaville, MD.
Cinema Products also sells a bag for use with the Steadicam JR. Haven't seen one, but the price is about the same as I paid for my bag. I like my bag a lot. It actually came with an little bag that slips inside the main bag. The VX fits nicely in this inner bag when it's by itself, but you can't use the inner bag if you want to keep the cam on the Steadicam.
Steadicam JR. Also, check out the new Steadicam made specifically for the VX-1000. Haven't seen a price for it yet.
Don't forget to get yourself a back support belt and wear it when Steadicaming or when wearing the heavy batts. Also, remember to wear the heavy batts right in the middle of your back centered on your spine. This should keep you from damaging your back the way I did my first time out. After a week in New Guinea, it took about 5 mos. for my back to get back to normal.
I'm using a cheap Velbon Videomate III tripod that was my father's. It is an actual fluid head, albeit an extremely light duty plastic thing. Cost was probably about $100. Probably was about the best thing you could get off the shelf at Best Buy or Circuit City or maybe a camera store. Works remarkably well because the VX is so light. Bigest problem is that it has no positive lock down. I leave the quick release plate mounted on the Steadicam and let it be part of my counterbalance weight. That way I'm always ready to pop the camera (w/Steadicam folded underneath) onto the tripod. It's a pretty slick system, although the folded Steadicam does make the camera a bit more rickety on the tripod.
I don't know if I told you about the undocumented color bars feature on the VX: Put the mode dial (left rear) into camera mode. Hold the red start/stop button on top of the camera (not the thumb one) down with your left index finger, then hold down the photo mode black button with your right index finger, then while holding those two buttons, flip the standby lever out of lock into standby with your right thumb. The camera will then make bars which you can record. To turn off the bars, flip the standby lever back to lock and then to standby again.
Make sure you play with the slow shutter speed capability. You have to have the digital mode switch (on backside of batt. compartment door) set to "zoom" for the slow shutter speeds to work.
