Martin Skrtel was involved in a defensive blunder on his Fenerbahce debut but he was not actually to blame.
Fenerbahce goalkeeper Ramazan was the real culprit in the calamity of errors that resulted in Monaco equalising against the home side in their first-leg Champions League 3. Round qualifier.
Ramazan inexplicably parried the ball into the path of Skrtel. The ball rebounded off the former Liverpool defender into the path of Falcao who smashed the ball into an empty net.
Below is a replay of the incident.
This is hardly skrtel's fault tbh https://t.co/LG1mxGOYyQ

Skrtel had an impressive game other than being involved in the equaliser for Monaco.
The Yellow Canaries played a three-back that had never actually played together before. Summer signings Skrtel and Neustadter joined Denmark international Simon Kjaer in the back.
The back-three looked a little shaky at time but put on a pretty decent display considering the circumstances.
Fenerbahce ended up beating Monaco 2-1 and will travel to France next week for the second-leg tie.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Wii - Hacking' started by Davess, Dec 30, 2009.
Thanks You All!
my 2gb Sandisk Failed on me, So my 8gb Kingston worked!
Try ALL of them, not nearly all? Or try Smash Stack/Indiana Pwns.. I tried all of the Bannerbombs until one finally worked on mine. Mine was stubborn too.
Which one did you use?
Did you try a different SD card?
I can't recall, one of the ones near the bottom of the list; it was months ago. But one should work for you. Just keep trying. If you really try ALL of them and none work, I'd be a bit confused myself.
Are you sure you are going to the actual SD menu? Not going into data management like version 1 of banner bomb did? V2 works different
Tryed all, None worked.
A Different SD Card, Maybe I'll Try later
on my old wii, bannerbomb v2 just froze it. I had to just use the original and at worked fine. also make sure you are using it correctly. use v1 in the SD card part of the channel menu in the settings. use v2 in the SD card menu off the front page of the system menu.
Thanks 'yall, I'll try All of you ideas in the morning (1:00 pm)
I'd like to think I know what I'm doing and the first time I used the bannerbomb sd card menu version, I was confused a bit. It's not a silly question imo.
I second the different SD card approach...when working on my boss's wii the other day I couldn't get it to go into BootMii and it was all because I was using a Kodak 2GB SD card.
Popped in my personal 8GB SanDisk and it booted into it right away (silly me should have known this but it was 2 in the morning after a full day at work, switching from cars to wii's isn't very fluent ).
I thought Wii's only took uo to 2GB cards
You just saved me!
not really...you could use SDHC on your wii. though most homebrew apps have good compatibility with 2Gb SD.
I take it that worked then? And the size wasn't what I am referring to as far as swapping out the cards, but rather the brand. Not all SD cards are built exactly the same
EDIT: I see it did work, didn't notice the first post update :/

Computer systems may be organized with a plurality of processors operating concurrently in parallel. In such systems, the several processors operate quasi independently, but from time to time need to transfer information between processors or between a processor and other system components such as input-output devices. In order to effect these information transfers, an intercommunication bus is provided connecting to the processors and to other system component, the bus being capable of transferring information from any user to any other. Such a bus is very flexible in its operation, but it is necessary to have some procedure to assure orderly use of the intercommunication bus. This invention relates to controlling access to an intercommunication bus shared by several users so as to provide orderly use of the bus by a plurality of users.
The invention features a multi-channel arbitration bus with each user associated with a distinct channel thereof and a priority record for each user indicating current priority status of the associated user against each other user. A contention interval and a use-signal interval are defined by a state machine associated with each user. During the contention interval each user then seeking to use the intercommunication bus bids for use of it by transmitting a bus request signal. Each user makes an analysis of the bus request signals to ascertain if it has a dominating priority for use of the intercommunication bus for a transaction and access is granted accordingly. During the use-signal interval a user then using the intercommunication bus transmits an in-use signal. The in-use signal is used by each user to up-date its priority record with the effect of giving the last using user a priority subordinate to all others for the next bidding to initiate a transaction.
For transactions which require a response from some system user other than the one initiating the transaction, a second round of bidding is conducted to determine whether any user is qualified to respond and if so which will be enabled to do so. When the response bidding shows no bidders the system immediately initiates bidding for a new transaction; when there are one or more qualified responders, one is selected and enabled to respond.
FIG. 1 shows schematically an access control system controlling responding by a plurality of bus users of an intercommunication bus according to the invention.
FIG. 2 shows in block diagram form an access controller used in the response control system of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows details of the priority state store and the arbitration logic used in the access controller of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 shows in detail the construction of interconnect keys used in the access control system of FIG. 1.
FIG. 5 shows timing signals used in the access control system of FIG. 1.
FIG. 6 shows the operations of a state machine used in the invention.
FIG. 7 shows the connections of update circuitry of the access controller of FIG. 2.
FIG. 8 shows the connection scheme of the interconnect keys of the access control system of FIG. 1.
With reference to the Figures, access control system 10 according to the invention controls use of intercommunication bus 14 by processor users 12, 13, and i/o device 16. Information is transferred on the intercommunication bus in predefined related sequential or parallel operations denominated a transaction. There may be several types of transaction with distinct operations such as reading or writing to the cache memory of another processor, acknowledgement of interrupts, and reading or writing to input-output devices. Certain transactions, notably interrupt acknowledge and memory read, are initiated by one user and require a response from another user.
Access control system 10 as shown particularly in FIG. 1, includes arbitration bus 21, having n channels, control bus 22, and bus system clock 23. Bus system clock generates and propagates to all bus users timing signals which define definite time increments which synchronize the whole bus system. The clock propagates to all bus stations a primary periodic signal (the A clock) the rising edge thereof defining the start of a new time increment. The clock also propagates a secondary signal (the B clock) phase shifted from the A clock, the rising edge of which defines a time towards the end of the each time increment. The B clock is generally used to admit signals into latches after propagation transients have subsided. The clock signals are diagramed in FIG. 5.
Representative user 12 is connected to associated access controller 17 by bus request line 19, by response ready line 50, by grant line 20 and by response enable line 51, and to intercommunication bus 14, control bus 22, and bus system clock 23. Access controller 17 is connected directly to control bus 22 and bus system clock 23, and through interconnect key 24 to arbitration bus 21. User 12, together with its access controller 17 is connected to interconnect key 24, initialize key 38 and intercommunication bus 14 through standard port 47. User 13 and further users including i/o device 16, are connected as is user 12.
Access controller 17 includes transmit line 25, (n-1) monitoring lines 26, control circuitry 27, drive circuitry 28, priority state store 29, arbitration logic 30, access grant circuitry 31 with grant latch 37, up-date circuitry 32, no-bid circuitry 33, initialize gate 39 and up-date gate 34, interconnected as shown in FIG. 2.
Further details of priority state store 29 and arbitration logic 30 are shown in FIG. 3. Priority state store 29 includes (n-1) two-state storage elements 35, advantageously flip-flops. From storage elements 35 outputs pass in parallel to (n-1) AND gates 36. Monitor lines 26 also pass in parallel to AND gates 36. Outputs of AND gates 36 are combined with the signal T on transmit line 25 as shown to produce the signal P.
Up-date circuitry 32, as shown particularly in FIG. 7, connects transmit line 25 to the set inputs of each of two state storage elements 35 and connects the monitor lines 26 respectively to the reset inputs of each of the storage elements 35. These connections are made through update gate 34. The output lines 40 from initialize key 38 are connected through initialize gate 39 to the set and reset inputs of storage elements 35.
Control circuitry 27 includes a cycling state machine 46 which controls the operation of access controller 17 and keeps track of what is happening on the intercommunication bus. The operation of this state machine is diagramed in FIG. 6 and will be further discussed in connection with the system operation.
Access controller 18 and further access controllers are identical to access controller 17.
Turning to the operation of the system, a user typically operates quasi-independently processing instructions, using its own local cache memory and with its own synchronizing clock which is not that of the bus or other users. From time to time the computations performed will generate a requirement to exchange information with another system component. Typical events requiring information exchange are need for data stored in another user's cache memory, need to update data stored in another users memory, and need to obtain information from an i/o device in order to process an interrupt. Information is exchanged over the intercommunication bus in a transaction. There may be several types of transaction but each will have a defined format specifying what is transmitted on which bus component and in what order. In the system describe here, the format calls for signals identifying the transaction type to pass on the control bus and detailed information such as addresses and data to pass on the intercommunication bus. When a user has need to communicate over the bus system it loads output buffers with the information to service a transaction and then transmits to its access controller 17 a bus request signal R on bus request line 19 indicating that it seeks to use the intercommunication bus and is ready to initiate a transaction. When a grant signal G is received from access controller 17 on grant line 20 the user begins a bus transaction.
A user also continually monitors the buses to detect signals indicating that a transaction initiated by another user requires the monitoring user to provide a response. When it detects such a signal, it loads the response into output buffers and when these are ready it emits a response ready signal R on line 50 to its controller 17. Then when a response enable signal E is received on line 51, it begins transmission of the response.
The operation of access controller 17 is organized by control circuitry 27 which can be understood with reference to its state machine diagramed in FIG. 6. This state machine passes from state to state through loops with no particular starting point. It transfers from one state to the next with the onset of each time increment marked by the A clock.
It will be convenient to follow the operation of the state machine from a point when it has just entered into the state C at the top of the diagram. The existence of the state machine in state C defines a contention interval, and during this interval control circuitry 27 emits an active C signal which, as shown in FIG. 2, is applied to drive circuitry 28, access grant circuitry 31, and no-bid circuitry 33. At the end of the time increment marked by the A clock, if control circuitry 27 has received an active no-bid signal X from no-bid circuitry 33 it reenters state C; absent the no-bid signal it shifts to state U. The C and clock signals are shown in FIG. 5.
The existence of the state machine in state U defines a use-signal interval, and during this interval, control circuitry 27 emits an active U signal as shown in FIG. 5. The U signal, as shown in FIG. 2, is applied to access grant circuitry 31 and up-date gate 34. During the time increment when the state machine exists in the U state, control circuitry receives from control bus 22 signals indicating which type of transaction is being initiated by one of the users 12. In accordance with these received signals, at the end of the period the state machine branches to one of several transaction completion states, denominated Z, each corresponding to one of the predefined transaction types.
The transaction types A, B are representative of rather simple transactions such as effecting transfer of data from the initiating user to an input-output device. Longer and more complex transactions may also be defined and use as illustrated by transaction type C. For all transactions the state machine continues through a chain of successive transaction completion states as may be required to complete the particular transaction type which is in progress. When the state machine reaches the end of whatever chain it is following it reverts to state C and begins another contention interval.
The Type D branch chain is of particular relevance to the present invention. Such a transaction is exemplified by an interrupt acknowledge transaction which may occur when a processor-user wishes to service an interrupt and initiates a Type D transaction to obtain needed information. On branching according to a Type D transaction, the state machine enters state C'. The existence of the state machine in state C' defines a response bid interval, and during this interval control circuitry 27 emits an active C' signal which, as shown in FIG. 2, is applied to drive circuitry 28, access grant circuitry 31, and no-bid circuitry 33.
At the end of the time increment for existence in state C' (marked by the A clock), if control circuitry 27 has received an active no-bid signal X from no-bid circuitry 33 it reenters state C; absent the no-bid signal it shifts to state V.
The existence of the state machine in the V state defines a response enablement interval, and during this interval control circuitry 27 emits the V signal, which, as shown in FIG. 2, is applied to access grant circuitry 31.
At the end of its period in the V state the state machine returns to state C shown at the top of FIG. 6.
Control circuitry 27 also is responsive to a "wait" signal received from the control bus during any of the states to causes the state machine to reenter a state rather than progressing to the next state. This feature permits any user that is unready to keep up with the standard transaction pace to delay the advance of state machines in all controllers by transmitting the wait signal on the control bus.
It may be noted that while the operation of the state machine is contingent on signals received from the control bus, it is indifferent to which user is emitting these signals. As a result the state machines of the several access controllers are in step keeping independent but identical reports of the state of the intercommunication bus.
Consider now the interactions of the signals emitted by the control circuitry with other elements of the access controller. To facilitate this discussion the signals on the (n-1) monitor lines will be designated Mi with i running 1 to (n-1). The signals of the storage elements 35 will be designated Si with the index of the storage element corresponding to that of the monitor line connected to the same one of AND gates 36.
When the C signal emitted by the control circuitry during a contention interval is applied to drive circuitry 28, it causes, if user 12 has signalled on line 19 that it seeks to use the intercommunication bus, the transmission of a bus contention signal through interconnect key 24 to the arbitration bus channel associated with the user.
Also during a contention interval any contention signals transmitted onto the arbitration bus are applied to arbitration logic 30, where they are logically analyzed with the signals out of priority state store 29 to produce the signal P indicative of whether the user 12 has a dominating priority. If an active condition on an arbitration bus channel is denominated 1 and an inactive 0, and if the two states of the storage elements Si of the priority state store are similarly denominated, the logical operation of the arbitration logic may be described in terms of modulo 2 arithmetic as
P=T (M.sub.1 S.sub.1 +1) (M.sub.2 S.sub.2 +1) . . . (M.sub.n-1 S.sub.n-1 +1).
The C signal together with the B clock applied to access grant circuitry 31 effect the capture of the P signal into grant latch 37 during the later part of the contention interval. The contention signals from the arbitration bus are also applied to and logically analyzed in the no-bid circuitry 33, the result being emitted as the X signal by the application of the C signal and the B clock. The X signal provides control circuitry 27 with the criterion for immediately restarting a contention interval.
The U signal emitted by the control circuitry during a use-signal interval is applied to access grant circuitry 31, and if the W signal out of the grant latch 37 is asserted, this causes the G signal to be sent to user 12 on line 20. The G signal in turn causes the emitting of the T signal from drive circuitry 28. The U signal together with the B clock is also applied to up-date gate 34 to effect the up-dating of the priority storage elements during the later part of the use-signal interval.
Control circuitry 27 is also responsive to an initialize signal received on the control bus to enable the transfer of signals from initialize key 38 to priority state store 29 through initialize gate 39.
When the C' signal emitted by the control circuitry during a response bid interval is applied to drive circuitry 28, it causes, if user 12 has signalled a response ready signal R' on line 50 indicating that it is ready to respond on the intercommunication bus, the transmission of a response bid signal through interconnect key 24 to the arbitration bus channel associated with the user.
Also during a response bid interval any response bid signals transmitted onto the arbitration bus are applied to arbitration logic 30, where they are logically analyzed with the signals out of priority state store 29 to produce the signal P indicative of whether the user 12 has a dominating priority, the analysis being as described in connection with the contention interval.
The V signal emitted by the control circuitry during a response enablement interval is applied to access grant circuitry 31, and if the W signal out of the grant latch 37 is at this time asserted, this causes the E signal to be sent to user 12 on line 51.
We now consider the global organization through which the several access controllers interact with each other. It should be noted that the several controllers are all identical in construction and operation. The only distinctions between one controller and another lie in the interconnect keys through which the controllers are connected to the arbitration bus, in the information content of the priority state stores, and in the initialize keys which establish initial values of the priority state stores.
Interconnect keys 24 interconnect arbitration bus 21 with access controllers 17 as shown particularly in FIG. 4. In contrast to the controllers 17, which are all alike, the interconnect keys and the initialize keys are distinct and organized in a pattern on a global basis. Each key on its bus side has n connections connected to the n arbitration bus channels (which will be designated A1, A2, . . . An). Each interconnect key on its controller side connects to the transmit line 25 (signal T) and to the (n-1) monitor lines 26 (signals Mi) of its associated controller. A first interconnect key (designated K1) has internal connections connecting A1 to its transmit line and the (n-1) bus channels other than A1 to the (n-1) monitor lines of its controller; a second interconnect key K2 has internal connections connecting A2 to the transmit line and the (n-1) bus channels other than A2 to the (n-1) monitor lines of its controller; and so on through the interconnect keys. In particular, the transmit line of each controller is connected through keys Ki to a distinct bus channel Ai. The connection scheme is illustrated in FIG. 8.
The initialize keys 38, as shown particularly in FIG. 4, generate signals from the voltage supply (0 and +) which are applied in direct or inverted order through initialize gate 39 to the set and reset inputs of storage elements 35 of priority state store 29.
In the first initialize key I1, (associated with access controller 1 and interconnect key K1), the connections are such as to apply the+voltage to the set inputs of none and the reset inputs of all of the storage elements, so that when the initialize gate 39 of access controller 1 admits these signals all its storage elements will be reset to 0.
In the second initialize key I2, the connections are such as to apply the+voltage to the set input of the first storage element and the rest inputs of all of the higher indexed storage elements, so that when the initialize gate 39 of access controller 2 admits these signals, the first of its storage elements will be set to 1 and the higher indexed storage elements will be reset to 0. (The indexing of the storage elements is that of the associated monitor line and signal as assigned in the discussion of the interconnect keys.)
In the third initialize key I3, the connections are such as to apply the+voltage to the set input of the first and second storage elements and the reset inputs of all of the higher indexed storage elements, so that when the initialize gate 39 of access controller 3 admits these signals, the first and second of its storage elements will be set to 1 and the higher indexed storage elements will be reset to 0.
The connection pattern continues to the higher indexed initialize keys, with the switching position below which the+voltage is applied to the set input increasing progressively for the higher indexed initialize keys. The nth initialize key has the switching position above the highest indexed storage element with the result that all its storage elements will be set. The general pattern is illustrated in the following table:
______________________________________ Switch position betweenInitialize Key Storage elements______________________________________1 -12 1-23 2-3. . . . . .n n-______________________________________
For purposes of a discussion of the global aspects of the operation of the invention it will be convenient to use a different convention for identifying the signals of the storage elements of priority state store 29 than that used in discussing the internal operation of a single controller. The storage elements signals will be denominated with reference to their connections to the arbitration bus. Each storage element is associated (in different ways) with two distinct bus channels. A storage element signal will be designated Sij, with the meaning that it is in the access controller whose T line is connected through its interconnect key to bus channel Ai, and is associated with channel Aj by being connected to the same AND gate 36 as channel Aj. Since AND gates 36 are never connected to the same bus channel as T, the Sij are constrained by the condition i not equal to j.
The signals stored in the priority state store of each controller essentially indicate the current priority of the controller against each other controller. That is, when S13 is 1, it indicates to controller 1 that controller 3 has a dominating priority. While any combination of values may occur in the (n-1) storage elements of a single controller, not all global combinations of values of the n (n-1) system elements are compatible with an ordered priority ranking of the controllers. The global conditions that must be met by the stores to reflect an ordered priority ranking of the controllers are that Sij be not equal to Sji and that the number of ones in any controller store be different from that in any other. The organization of the initialize keys ensures that these conditions are met at the start of operations, and the organization of the interconnect keys ensures that all updating changes maintain the required conditions.
From a system viewpoint, each controller keeps track in its priority state store of its priority status against each other controller. Then at the beginning of the contention interval each controller, if it seeks to initiate a transaction on the intercommunication bus, promulgates a bid to all others by transmission on its proper arbitration channel (that is, the one with which it is uniquely associated by connection through its interconnect key). Towards the end of the contention interval, each controller through its arbitration logic analyzes the bid signals to determine what controller is to be granted access to the intercommunication bus. In the succeeding use-signal interval the bidding controller which has been granted access enables its user to initiate a transaction on the intercommunication bus and also announces this use to all other controllers by emitting the T signal on its proper channel. Towards the end of the use-signal interval (at the time of the B clock) the signals on the arbitration bus indicating which controller has used the intercommunication bus are passed through the up-date gates and used to update the priority record. The using controller revises its record to show that every other controller now dominates it; each non-using controller records that the using controller is now subordinate to itself. The result of these revisions is to move the last using controller from its previous position to the bottom of the priority order while otherwise leaving the priority order unchanged.
The system operation thus implements a policy of making the last initiator of a transaction go to the end of the priority line.
In dealing with certain transactions requiring a response and where there may be one, several, or no qualified responders, a response bid interval occurs in which each qualified responder indicates that it is ready to respond by transmission on its proper arbitration channel of a response bid signal. These any signals placed on the arbitration bus during the response bid interval are analyzed to determine whether there is any bidding responder, and if so which one has priority. If there is no qualified responder the system without delay restarts the contention for a new transaction; if there are one or more a qualified responders one is enabled to make the response. The operation during the response bid interval follows the pattern of that during the contention interval and uses the same access controller circuitry with advantages of ecomony. By immediately restarting the primary contention for a new transaction when there is no bid for response, the system avoids tying up the buses waiting for a reply that will never come.
The response bidding operation does not make any revision of the priority store information and so does not interfere with the priority policy for awarding most ancient user priority in initiating a transaction. In most of the preceding discussion it has been assumed that a full complement of users was bidding for the use of the intercommunication bus--that is that there are n actively bidding users for a system with n arbitration channels. The system works equally well if there are fewer than n users or if some users are passive, participating in transactions but never initiating any. In such cases the nominal priority of the passive or non-existent users will rise to the top ranks, but since these users never bid for the intercommunication bus, the bus grant will always be to the highest ranking bidding user.
The described system facilitates interchangeability of operating users on an intercommunication bus because the controllers are identical. Thus an intercommunication bus may be designed with the unique connect and initialize keys terminating in standard ports to which a controller and user can be connected. Users with different functions can then be attached to any port indiscriminately.

text: Hi everyone, I am a 19 year old college student and recently applied for a part time package handler job and right after was set up with an appointment for an interview/tour. I have looked on a lot of different sites and forums and most of them say that being a package handler really sucks. I have been working at a Dairyqueen/OrangeJulius for 3 1/2 years in a mall. If you've ever worked fast food in a mall you know how much it sucks after a while and how it makes you hate people. That's why this job interests me because I don't mind getting dirty and working hard as long as I don't have to deal with customers. So I have a few questions and I thought the best place to get them answered was on a UPS forum. What can I expect to start off at? I would be leaving my old job making 8.10/hr. When I applied for the package handler job it says 8.50-9.50/hr with 17 1/2 - 20 hours per week. How do they decide what wage to start you off at and can I get more than 20 hours per week? What does a typical package handler day consist of? Another reason I want to work at UPS is I would love to become an OTR trucker for the company someday. Truck driving is something that I've always wanted to do and that's what I see myself doing as a career. What is the average time on the wait list it takes to become a delivery driver? And how would I go about getting an OTR job with them? Thanks for your time.

Newport Set of Two Chaise Lounge Chairs is rated out of 5 by 23.
Rated 5 out of 5 by dreamhouse from Simple and Large These chairs are simple, no fancy arms or cushions, and they are large enough to spread out on. They seem sturdy, look nice, and the back is simple to adjust. Seemed expensive, but after shopping around, I think it was worth it for the better quality.
Date published: 2017-09-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by NYJeff from Exactly what I was looking for. This set of lounge chairs is just great! It is exactly what I was looking for. It is light, sturdy, aesthetically pleasing, easy to operate, and has wheels for easy mobility. I was also looking for a chair that would lay completely flat if I want a skit does just that. Bought two sets. Hopefully they will last.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NonPrecious from Sleek & Beautiful Family and friends, young and old, swoon over our gorgeous poolside additions. The chaises are generously sized, comfortable and low maintenance. They blend beautifully into a contemporary or a more traditional setting. We're thrilled with our purchase from Frontgate!

Rated 5 out of 5 by KitKat68 from Awesome Loungers! We have been looking for loungers for awhile now as our pool was finished in March. We decided against the wicker ones, despite the fact that they look so great, as none of them seem to stand the test of time. These got great reviews all around and I am adding another one. They are very well built, stylish, and very reasonably priced for the set. We also bought the cushioned velour chaise covers to go with them and LOVE them! They are so soft and quite comfortable - really add to the overall look and comfort level (the built-in pillow is amazing!). We've been sitting on them almost every day. I would order more of everything if I had room by the pool!

Rated 5 out of 5 by dgamiller from Great Chairs Love these chairs. Just bought the set of two in matte white. They are comfortable and wide, have a nice modern appearance, and I anticipate that the material will hold up well in the elements (we've only had them a few weeks). In comparison to most outdoor furniture, the price point is very reasonable.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jlo55 from Great chairs not sure about the stacking. So far these chairs are lovely. ..I love how easy it is to adjust them. One reason I chose these was because they're stackable. ...but one of the support bars seems to leave an indentation in the fabric of the bottom chair. So far no big deal but I'm not sure what will happen to the fabric after they've been stacked in storage all winter.

Thank you for your interest in the Newport Set of Two Chaise Lounge Chairs. Both the Cushioned Velour 83" x 31" Chaise Cover (47922) and the Personalized Sunbrella Chaise Cover (156760) will add some padding to this chaise. However, the Cushioned Velour Chaise Cover does have more padding.
Date published: 2017-10-17
Can the seat back be easily adjusted while sitting in the chair?
The back is simple to adjust, just sit forward and pull it up. The support will lock in one of 4 settings. To lower you have to lift the support, but not hard to do.

The following message from the life of Jacob sheds light on aspects of our spiritual lives we as individuals following Christ desperately need to hear. It was not until after this message was prepared and ready to be posted, however, that I became aware there is also hidden within it a "now" word for the Bride-church that speaks loudly into the place we find ourselves corporately at the present time in the Spirit.
Many of us are discerning a spiritual season of desperate anticipation right now that is hard to vocalise. It is both the best of times and the worst of times, as the saying goes. Sensing we are on the brink of something beyond our capacity to adequately express, nevertheless corporately we are experiencing together the deep anguish of soul of those who smell, taste and hear but do not yet fully see. Our hearts cry out for the final emptiness from self, while we reach forward to grasp the fullness of Christ.
I believe the very spirit of the corporate Bridal company is wrestling with the Almighty as we seek the full revelation of the Face of Christ in our midst. Daybreak comes, and as our natural strength fails and we behold ourselves in all our desperate need for His Fullness to overtake and apprehend us, we are groaning within "I will not let You go until You bless me!". This is crunch time for the emerging Bride. For many years now we have sought His Face and been transformed by the growing revelation of His Holiness. We have desired an encounter that would leave us free of our flesh and baptised into His death and resurrection. We have been left breathless and speechless as His manifest Presence has broken through and we have been lost in the beauty of His holiness and depths of His love. Daybreak comes, and with all that is within us we now cry out with one corporate groan, "Lord either kill me or change me, but do not leave me as I have been." There is an intense struggle for life within us, but life as we have never before experienced it. There is an intense awareness that He MUST increase to the fullness of His stature, and we MUST decrease to emptiness of self, or we will die.
This is a critical moment for the corporate Bride, a season of violent abandonment and discomfort as our weakness is exposed and His all sufficiency overtakes us. As we wrestle and behold His Face, we are seeing with ever increasing clarity in the starkness of His Daybreak that truthfully without Christ we can do nothing, yet in Christ we can do ALL things. We are about to find out what that truly means.
Cry out, church of the Living God, cry out church of the Firstborn, cry and moan for His fullness as never before. Do not let Him go until we have taken hold of His very fullness and leave this place of wrestling changed and limping, leaning only on our Beloved. Cry out for His fullness until we have prevailed with Him and He changes our nature, changes our name (Rev. 2:17) and appears in all His glory in His spiritual temple! For daybreak comes and we must prevail! Selah!

In remote desert areas of Australia where I live there are native trackers, Australian aborigines who assist the police when someone becomes lost in the desert, or is on the run from justice. These trackers can read human tracks like most of us read a book. They are so proficient at this that they can look at a pair of footprints and tell whether that person walks with a limp and which leg they are favouring. We need that kind of discernment in the church today, spiritually speaking. We need to be able to track a person's journey in the Spirit and discern the nature of their strength. We need to understand the difference between those whose weakness is their strength, and those whose strength is their weakness. We need leaders who lead with a spiritual limp.
In Genesis 25:20-26 we read of the birth of Esau and Jacob, twin sons born to Isaac and Rebekah. Rebekah had received a word from the Lord that her two sons each represented a different nation, and that the older son would serve the younger. The scriptures reveal that Esau, the firstborn, became a "skilful hunter and a man of the field" (Gen. 25:27). He was very much an outdoors man, confident in his physical strength and athletic abilities. The scriptures say Jacob, on the other hand, had different attributes. His mother's favourite, Jacob was noted more for his quiet, studious nature than his physical strength or ruggedness. He was "a quiet man, dwelling in tents". The implication is that Jacob was of a gentler disposition than his brother, preferring to spend his days working around the tents, listening to the conversations of the women and observing the interactions of his community. As Jacob grew up in the communal atmosphere of the tents he had ample opportunity to study the people he lived with, including their various strengths and weaknesses of character. Esau, on the other hand, would have spent long hours and days on hunting and food gathering expeditions, and in so doing had earned the respect and admiration of his father Isaac.
One day as Esau was returning from an unsuccessful hunting expedition, Jacob sat among the tents preparing a steaming red stew. Weary from hunger, the delicious aroma was more than Esau could resist, and he begged Jacob to give him some. Immediately taking advantage of his brother's weakness, Jacob offered to give him some of the meal in exchange for the eldest son's birthright. The birthright custom provided that when a man died his firstborn son must inherit a double share of all his property.
And Esau said, "Look, I am about to die, so what is this birthright to me?" Then Jacob said "Swear to me as of this day". So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. (Gen. 25:34)
As Jacob was her favourite, Rebekah had no doubt at some time shared with him the Lord's word that "the older will serve the younger". Jacob knew he could never compete with his brother in terms of physical strength, so even in his youth Jacob had determined to bring about the fulfillment of that prophecy through other means. He learned to read peoples' weaknesses and discern their vulnerabilities. He became adept at watching and waiting for opportunity to take advantage of situations in order to get what he wanted. And like many in the church today he set out running with a genuine word from the Spirit, determined to fulfill it in the strength of his own flesh.
Having already entered into the deception that God needed help to fulfill His own word, Rebekah now joined Jacob in scheming and manipulating to bring it about. Genesis 27:5-29 relates that while Esau was away hunting, Jacob, with his mother's assistance, disguised himself as his brother. Taking advantage of his father's blindness, he then deliberately deceived his father into laying hands on him to bestow the blessing that belonged to Esau as the firstborn son. On Esau's return the only blessing Isaac could give him was the blessing he had reserved for the youngest son. In his anger and sense of loss Esau openly plotted to kill his brother as soon as their father's death and burial had taken place. As for Jacob, he now not only had a prophetic word, he also had the anointing to go with it! Fearing for his life and left with no choice but to put as much distance as possible between Esau and himself, he fled to his mother's relatives in another part of the country.
Now Jacob was what I call a "ducker and a weaver". When I was quite young, leaving school, my first job was in the middle of the city of Sydney. Each day I would travel by train into the city from the outer suburbs, but I was not used to the large crowds of people rushing along the streets. I would arrange to meet my friend every day in my lunch-break, but she was working right up one end of a very long street, and I was working down the other end. It was a very straight street, but between us there was a large distance and the busy lunchtime city crowds! I had only one hour for my break and because I was rather a small person I was getting considerably knocked around by the crowds as I tried to make my way quickly along that city street. Not only that, I was taking so long to get back to my work I was coming in late! But you know, before long I found a way to get through those city crowds without getting hurt and without returning late. I started to duck and to weave! I turned my small size and speed to my advantage and learned how to move swiftly in between, under and around those big hurrying people. And pretty soon I was rushing along that city street faster than anyone else. I knew where I wanted to go and I was determined to get there no matter what. I just put my head down and took off, weaving and ducking at full speed, scarcely looking up till I got to my destination!
Jacob's life became one of ducking and weaving! He knew he would never be strong in stature or skilful in hunting like his brother, so he learned to put his own unique strengths and skills to use because he was determined no-one was going to stop him realising what had been prophetically spoken over him. He didn't know yet he'd chosen a course that would lead him straight into a head on collision with God, because God is not needing duckers and weavers – He wants overcomers!
As Jacob was fleeing out of Esau's reach, the scriptures say he had a dream in which he saw the angels of God ascending and descending and heard the Voice of the Lord saying "I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants." (Gen. 28:12-13) So now Jacob not only has a word and an anointing, he has a prophetic experience as well! Things are certainly looking promising for Jacob. But there's something missing.
Next we find Jacob living and prospering among his mother's relatives. He works hard for his mother's brother, Laban, marrying two of his daughters, and is blessed with eleven sons and a daughter. Laban in turn recognises God's favour and anointing on Jacob, acknowledging that he and his own household have prospered solely due to Jacob's presence among them (Gen. 30:27). After several years, however, Jacob is becoming restless working for another man's vision and begins to dream of returning to his country to establish all that is in his own heart. And so it happens, after falling out with Laban, Jacob sets out towards home with his wives, his children, his servants and his livestock, knowing that his brother Esau will be waiting and remembering what he had done to him so many years before.
By this time Jacob has acquired an entire community bearing his own name and following his leadership. Even the angels meet him along the way (Gen. 32:1). We might say Jacob now has a prophetic word, an anointing, some amazing supernatural experiences, and an established ministry. But there is still something missing!
Still scheming and manipulating, Jacob devises a plan whereby he might placate any anger still left in his brother and sends messengers ahead to assess Esau's mood. However, when they return warning that Esau is coming with 400 men, the Bible records that Jacob becomes "greatly afraid and distressed." (Gen. 32:7) Jacob finds himself in a situation where his manipulative and scheming habits will not help him. Behind him is Laban and in front of him is Esau – both men he has dealt with less than honourably. Not knowing what to do, he calls out to the Lord to save him from his brother's wrath (v.9). But God has been waiting for just this moment! God has been patiently bringing Jacob to a time and place when Jacob's ducking and weaving would fail him. And God makes His move on Jacob!
Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. And He said, "Let Me go, for the day breaks". But he said "I will not let You go unless You bless me!" So He said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob". And He said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed". Then Jacob asked, saying "Tell me Your name, I pray." And He said, "Why is it that you ask about My name?" And He blessed him there. So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved" Just as he crossed over Peniel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip. (Gen. 32:24-31)
Now what is it the Lord wants us to see in this story of His dealings with Jacob?
Have you been called by God? Very often those called by the Lord to ministry are people of strong will, strength of resolve, determination and vision. These are the natural characteristics most would agree are needed for leadership. However, until they are one by one brought under the power of the Cross by the Holy Spirit, these are the very traits that will hinder the Hand of the Lord in our lives and ministries.
Wherever we are naturally strong God will wrestle with us until each of our natural talents and strengths has been surrendered and sanctified. Many are those who want to offer their talents and gifts to God for use in the Kingdom, failing to understand our strengths are of absolutely no use to Him as long as they provide us with an identity outside of Him. Rather than needing our talents, the Lord wants to break our dependence on them. He will contend with us over these areas of natural strength until "daybreak". Daybreak represents revelation, when light comes, and we are able to see that every last ounce of our own strengths of personality is not enough to get us where God wants to take us! Our natural strengths are always only a substitute for His grace, and His grace is always sufficient, always enough! We do God no favours by putting our talents, gifts and natural abilities at His disposal. He can do far more with those who have faced and offered up their weakness than those who offer up their strengths (see 1 Cor. 1:27). Our natural abilities only become useful to God after we have seen them in the Light of His Countenance. It is then we understand it is the sufficiency of His Grace rather than the efficiency of our abilities that enables us to do anything at all in His Kingdom. This revelation must come to all who desire to be used by the Lord to the fullness of their potential in Him.
There is more the Lord would have us learn from Jacob's life.
Jacob had a genuine prophetic word from God. He had heard from his mother those things God had spoken over his life, and he desperately wanted their fulfillment. But that word wasn't enough. Jacob had an anointing – he carried the blessing of the firstborn. But it wasn't enough. Jacob had endurance – he was able to wait patiently for that he had set his heart on, but his endurance was not enough. Jacob was running with a vision, utilising every skill and talent available to him in his determination to get where he knew God wanted him to go. But those talents weren't enough. Jacob had no shortage of prophetic experiences. He had watched the angels of God ascending and descending in open vision at Bethel (Gen. 28:12). He had seen and heard God speak to him in night visions ( Gen 28:13, 31:11) Angelic hosts had come to meet him on his journey home. But his prophetic experiences were not enough either.
Jacob still didn't have humility!
When Jacob looked into the Face of God, however, his nature changed forever! Jacob had contended with man for many years and prevailed. But not until that night alone in the wilderness when he had nowhere else to go, did he understand what it is to contend with God and prevail! Jacob came away from the encounter a marked man, limping as one who has contended with God and yet lived. In Genesis 32:30 we read: "So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, (which means Face of God), "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved".
God wrestled with Jacob until daylight came, the time of revelation. Having already left His mark on Jacob by dislocating his hip, at daybreak the angel of God challenged Jacob to let Him go (Gen. 32:26). But Jacob said "I will not let you go until You bless me!" Looking into the Face of God, Jacob beheld something he'd never seen before – One who was even more determined than he was! Jacob was about to find out that he could no longer stand on his own two legs or walk as he had previously walked. He could no longer rely on his own strength to uphold him. Everything had changed. So He said to him, "What is your name?" He said "Jacob." There, face to face with God, in the stark light of daybreak, Jacob confessed his own name and for the first time knew the reality of what he was and how he had lived his life. "I am Jacob – Schemer, Supplanter, Trickster!"
The blessing Jacob received was the revelation of who he really was in light of God's grace! God intends for each of us to receive the very same blessing, for until we too behold ourselves in the same Light, until we receive revelation of the total inadequacy and incompleteness of our own human strength, we will be in contention with God! We will be thinking and acting like we are something we are not. But when daybreak comes, He will reveal Himself to us as He is, and we will see ourselves in His true Light. Then we will only begin to understand His grace. The scripture says Jacob contended with God and prevailed. His prevailing was in his surrender. And right then and there God changed Jacob's name and nature. Jacob became Israel, no longer one who deceives, tricks and supplants, but one who has contended with God and lived! The name means "prince with God" or "he will rule as God". It speaks of one who manifests power and strength of a different kind and from a different source than Jacob had previously known. Thereafter Jacob no longer knew God as "the God of my fathers Abraham and Isaac". He called Him El Elohe Israel – the God of Israel (Gen. 33:20).
Until a revelation of grace comes to us, we will always stand on our own understanding. We can have a word, a vision, an anointing, an experience and even a growing ministry, but we will burn out long before we ever achieve our potential in God. Until a revelation of grace comes to us, we will always resort to our own strength and willpower to accomplish the work of God. And we will never know His Rest. God has only one way to deal with the strength of man's flesh and it's the Cross. If we are serious with God, the Spirit will apply the Cross to our spiritual walk in many and diverse ways, until we understand by revelation that it is only by His Grace we stand in ANYTHING!
You can discern the footprints of one who has contended with God and surrendered – they walk with a spiritual limp. They walk with the mark of the Cross. Their strength has been spent and they have entered by grace into the Rest of God. They walk leaning on the Beloved, for they have forgotten how to walk any other way.
Are you praying for greater faith to meet the needs around you? Expect a contending with the Lord, because He wants to give you a revelation of grace. Are you setting out to be a leader among leaders? Expect to be weakened in your natural strengths, abilities and talents until you understand that by grace alone are you left standing. Are you crying out for the boldness of a lion? Boldness is born of brokenness! Expect to be a lion that limps. Expect others to overlook you, pass you by and judge you as weak and ineffective by human standards, because they surely will. Until you open your mouth, that is, and they hear the lion roar.
The scripture prophesies of Jesus He was despised and rejected of men. He had nothing about Him physically or naturally that we should desire Him (Is. 53:2) . People did not follow Him because of His good looks, His charismatic personality or His ten point plan to get to Heaven. They followed Him because the words He spoke were Spirit and life, and the gospel He brought was demonstrated by the Spirit's power.
Are you limping yet?
…..through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand…. Romans 5:1-2

Wellington, FL Birds Their Behavior and Adaptations are Fascinating !
29 Jun
Birds are amazing creatures. In and around the area, our Greenacres avian veterinarian has watched wild birds in Wellington, Lake Worth, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach and Royal Palm Beach, and beyond. By going out and watching wild birds, we learn more about your pet birds- the more we learn, the more we can find information to share with you so you can provide better care for our companion birds in your homes.
Here is a short video that Dr. Rolfe created about an interesting behavior that some birds do.
Passerine Birds
Not all Passerines have this ingenious method of keeping the nest clean. The fecal sac is excreted waste (from the digestive and urinary tracts) that is enclosed in a membrane that the chicks secrete in the cloaca. The cloaca is a pocket that has the digestive tract ending but also the ends of the urinary system and reproductive system are here as well. A parent anticipates that a fecal sac may be excreted and catches it while it is being eliminated and carries it away so predators don't pick up the nest by the smell, and bacteria/insects have limited material to grow upon.
If you can catch the appearance of the fecal sac you can see the dark part (which comes from the digestive tract so the material is fecal matter) and the white part is from the kidneys.
But Shared with All Birds
The term for the white part is "urates" and this material is due to the way the birds' bodies break down various wastes for elimination. This material while it is circulating in the body is called uric acid.
A mammal's body creates urea as the waste method; the kidneys secrete the urea which has to be dissolved in liquid ("urine") whereas the urates crystallize out of liquid. If a mammal's kidneys aren't working well, they cannot remove the urea from the bloodstream very well. If a bird's kidneys aren't working well, they cannot remove the uric acid from the bloodstream either. These waste products can cause a great deal of havoc in the body when they raise up in the case of kidneys that aren't functioning properly.
In fact, one of the ways veterinarians evaluate the bird's kidney function is by measuring uric acid levels in the blood, similarly to how mammal kidney function is checked by measuring urea (as well as several other waste products in mammals). Uric acid can crystalize out in the body tissues if it elevates enough due to the kidneys not function; this is called gout and can be seen as little white nodules near or in joints. These deposits can be very painful in the joints so one potential symptom of kidney problems in birds is difficulty moving around or limping.
If you have questions or have a pet bird, including parrots and Passerines (such as a canary or finch), please feel free to contact us at 561-964-2121.

Lebanon set to elect president after 2 years' stalemate
The 81-year-old Christian leader has won the support of two of his greatest rivals: Samir Geagea, leader of the Christian Lebanese Forces, and Sunni former premier Saad Hariri.

God never gives up on us — but tragically, all too often we give up on God! We think He doesn't care about us, or we get upset with Him because He doesn't do what we want Him to do.
Researchers are using the reconstruction as an opportunity to study the original surface of the tomb, and how it evolved as an important point of veneration for Christians.
WHEN God's Spirit moved in and through Paul many unusual miracles occurred. It reached a point where the physical presence of Paul was not required for a miracle anymore. When they brought an apron or a handkerchief from him and lay it on the sick, diseases left them and evil spirits went out of their bodies.
Writing for the left-leaning Washington Post, Marc Thiessen, former chief speechwriter for George W. Bush, declared that "Hillary Clinton is a threat to religious liberty."
Planet Nine's unusual orbit, however, adds a multi-billion-year wobble to that system. Mathematically, given the hypothesised size and distance of Planet Nine, a six-degree tilt fits perfectly, Brown said.
"I don't believe in Islam and I would never say I do. I am a Christian and I'd rather leave my home than lie about my faith," Amer says.
Bouhafs could have opted for an appeal to the Supreme Court, but an LADDH spokesman ruled out this option because it "would take much time", while Bouhafs is said to be suffering ill health.
Pastor Irani was initially arrested in December 2006. He was released the following year, but was given a five-year suspended sentence in 2008.

Warning, there may be some minor spoilers in the article below.
What would Horror be today without the villains above? And what what they be without their masks? We can all agree that Michael and Jason just aren't complete without their appropriate mask. Much like Freddy without his glove, or Batman without the Joker, it just wouldn't work. Thankfully though, we don't have to worry much about those sort of problems. And with that, I'm going to count down my opinion of 5 of the scariest and most recognizable mask in Horror movie history.
5. Ms. Tredoni / Alice, Sweet Alice Mask
This mask may not be the most popular, but it is definitely one of the creepiest of the bunch. Because it seems so out of place in a movie like that. The face of a smiling clown, or woman, or whatever that is supposed to be isn't something you want to see before going to bed at night.
4. Ghostface / Scream Mask
The Ghostface character in the Scream movies may not be at the same level of worldwide popularity as other slasher villains, but the mask used by the villain is definitely one you'll be seeing on Halloween every year at least 10 times. It is inspired by the iconic face in the 'Scream' painting by Edvard Munch. And it's so creepily altered that most can't bare to look at it for to long.
3. Leatherface / The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Unlike the other two already listed on this countdown, Leatherface is actually not only one of the most popular, but also one of the very first of his kind. And his mask is like no other. It's made of human skin, which is always scary! And there are only a very few amount of mask that are scarier than the mask used in the very first Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The mask in that film are pure nightmare material.
2. Jason Voorhees / Friday The 13th
At number 2 is not only one of the most popular movie characters of all time, but also one of the most popular Horror movie mask of all time. Jason Voorhees and his hockey mask have been around for just over 30 years now, and they show no sign of losing in popularity. With a new film and television show in the works, along with a countless amount of merchandise from toys to rings, Jason shows no sign of slowing down at all.
1. Michael Myers / Hallowen
Finally, the one that started it all, the mask that put Slasher movies on the map, Michael Myers and his mask are both like no other. This mask is sure to send chills any time you see it, even the gif above gives me the creeps when I look at it. Like Jason, Michael Myers and his mask has made its way into everyone's household and is referenced endlessly in pop culture. The only thing that gives this mask the title in my opinion is its creep factor. Jason's mask has everything you could want, except it doesn't scare most people. While Michael's mask has the ability to scare you whether you see it onscreen or in person on a windy Halloween night.
But as I always say, these are just my opinions. What do YOU think? Answer below!-

S&P 500 Index (.SPX) 1,307.49 +0.39
CBOE Volatility Index (.VIX) 16.30 -0.39
Stock market averages have traded in a narrow range following a mixed jobs report Friday. Data released before the opening bell showed the US economy adding 36,000 payrolls during the month of January. Economists were looking for an increase of 148,000. However, the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 9 percent, from 9.6 percent and significantly better than the 9.5 percent that economists had predicted. Average hourly earnings rose .4 percent, and twice more than expected. Beyond that, it's been a relatively slow news day. Some of the market's attention is still on Egypt where protestors are holding a "Day of Departure" to oust President Mubarak. The events seem to be having relatively little market impact so far. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has traded in a narrow 53-point range and is down 14 points. The tech-heavy NASDAQ added 1.5. The CBOE Volatility Index (.VIX) is down .23 to 16.46. Options volume is running about the typical levels, with 4.3 million calls and 3.4 puts traded through 12:00pm ET.
Bullish Flow
Aetna (AET) touched a new 52-week high and is trading up $2.97 to $36.24 after the insurance company reported a better-than-expected earnings, raised guidance for the 2011 fiscal year, and announced plans to increase its dividend. Options action in Aetna is picking up as well. 10,000 calls and 5,840 puts traded in the name through midday. The action is scattered across a number of contracts. February 38 calls are the most actives. 1,270 traded. Short-term players are focused on the Feb 34 and 37 call options as well. February options expire in two weeks.
Radioshack (RSH) adds 48 cents to $15.67 and options volume in the electronics retailer is running 4X the average daily, with 12,000 calls and 2,650 puts traded so far. February 16 calls, which are 23 cents out-of-the-money, are the most actives. 6,150 traded through midday. Short-term speculators are active in the name on unconfirmed market chatter that an activist investor might be taking a look at Radioshack, per Briefing.
Bearish Flow
Peabody Energy (BTU) shares are trading down $1.48 to $63.31 and options volume includes 14,000 puts and 3,770 calls. The top trades are part of a spread, in which an investor sold 4,500 February 55 puts and bought 4,500 March 55 puts. They paid 44 cents for the spread. A bearish investor, or possibly a shareholder looking for a hedge, might have initiated the spread and rolled a position of BTU puts from one month to the next.
Acuity Brands (AYI), an Atlanta-based electronics and lighting company, is trading down 65 cents to $55.68 and 1,675 puts traded. The action is 35X the typical put volume for the name and compares to call volume of only 51 contracts. The focus is on the May 60 puts. 1,540 traded and, with 100 percent trading at the ask-side of the bid-ask spread, it appears that put buyers are taking positions and bracing for additional weakness in AYI in the months ahead.
