Our Mission & Vision
The mission of First Baptist Olney is to make disciples by loving God, loving others, and magnifying the name of Jesus Christ in all that we do. We believe The vision of our church is to see each member of our fellowship growing in Jesus, serving Him, and sharing His unconditional love with others. We place a high priority on the preaching and teaching of the Bible because the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ guides our actions and builds within us a common desire to glorify God. FBC Olney has served the community since it was founded in 1896. We are affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention and the Baptist General Convention of Texas.
Church Staff:
Our pastoral staff recognizes the authority of God, and realizes that we are shepherds who serve under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We desire to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. Our passion and goal is to equip the believers for the work of the ministry until we all attain maturity in the fullness of Christ.

What we believe:
First Olney does not have an official statement of faith. However, you will find
that our views and practices are similar to most Southern Baptist Churches in the area.
This is a link to discussion of basic Southern Baptist beliefs
A Place for You to Belong, Serve, and Give!
Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of First Baptist Olney is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas to every nation. FBCO members are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as washing the church vehicles, to preparing and leading worship. The following is an just an overview of some of our ministries where you can grow and serve.
First Baptist Olney is thrilled to be part of the spread of God's kingdom around the world. We are active in sending missionaries and supporting these missionaries through our prayers and the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention. A portion of every dollar received during our offertory giving goes directly to the the mission fields both overseas and here at home. The Cooperative program is a genius giving program implemented in 1925. Since then it has funded the largest missionary effort in the history of Christianity. Through the International Mission Board, Southern Baptist Churches support approximately 5,624 missionaries who are engaging 655 people groups of populations greater than 100,000 around the world. The program also supports mission work and church planting in North America. The North American Mission Board plants more than 1,000 churches each year through the efforts of more than 5,000 North American Missionaries. Our Cooperative Program giving also supports the 6 Southern Baptist Seminaries, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, and the efforts of the Baptist General Convention of Texas.

Bible Study/Sunday School
Serving the Gospel Meal
Every Wednesday night during the school year our church hosts a meal offered to anyone in the community who wishes to come. We meet in the church fellowship hall. Different groups share the responsibility for the meal each week. The food and fellowship are fantastic. If you would like to help serve on one of the teams, call the church office and sign-up.
Ministry of Helps
Every Monday morning from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. the food closet is open to anyone who in need of groceries. The food closet is located at 929 Bluebonnet in Olney. This ministry is always in need of volunteers to serve those in need.
Benevolence Ministry
Our benevolence ministry consists of a team of church members from diverse backgrounds who care about poverty alleviation in our community. The team considers each request for help and tries tries to find available resources that best fit the need of each applicant.
Mission Trips
From time to time groups from our church feel led to participate in short-term mission trips locally or in another country. We do not do short-term missions for the sake of taking trips or "Christianizing" a vacation. It is important to follow God's leading and to realize that sometimes the best use of our funds is to send resources directly to missionaries on the field rather than spending that money on travel. However, there are times when these trips are appropriate and well worth the expense in order for us to catch a vision of what God is doing elsewhere in the world.
Worship Leadership
A talented group of our members play instruments and lead our congregational worship each week. Smaller groups play for the youth during their Wednesday evening gathering. Our Sunday morning worship style is blended. We incorporate music that touches on the wide spectrum of gospel themes. We sing songs that are God-glorifying, theologically true, and proper for congregational worship. We do not judge a song based on how old it is. Therefore, we sing songs that were written long ago and those that were written very recently, recognizing that judging a song based on its age is a silly criteria. If you are a talented and skilled musically, our worship team may be a place of service for you. However because this is a very visible leadership role, there is a waiting period and code of conduct to which team members must adhere before serving.
Ushers & Greeters
The usher & Greeter team fills an important role at First Olney. They are involved in directing attendees to their seats, ensuring the safety of the building during services, helping visitors, answering questions, providing direction, unlocking doors, locking doors, and generally ensuring that the service can proceed problem-free. The usher and greeter team is a servant-hearted group of men and women whose ministry is integral to our church life.
Media & Technology
Marriage Counseling
Marriages can be difficult to maintain. Misunderstanding, confusion, resentment, and anger can flare up in any marriage. Our pastor and his wife serve other families as marriage counselors. It is their hope that by listening, understanding, helping, and encouraging struggling couples, by God's grace, marriages can saved and relationships repaired. We believe that every couple can find fresh hope and new joy in a warm and fulfilling relationship with their spouse through Christ. The pastor maintains a regular schedule for counseling. Please contact the church office if you need an appointment.
Prayer Warriors
Prayer cannot be overestimated. Prayer moves the hand of God. First Olney is a body of believers dependent upon prayer, and committed to God's sovereignty. Throughout the week people pray for our pastors, a list of church members, any special requests, and missionary prayer needs. Each Wednesday, the church comes together for a special time of prayer and Bible study in our beautiful parlor room.
Children's Church
In order to give our children the best Bible teaching possible, First Olney holds a children's church service in conjunction with the main service. This special time gives kids more opportunity for interaction and learning in a context and manner that may be better suited to their age and learning styles. Our friendly children's church volunteers have an endless stream of creativity--ranging from puppet shows, to games, to object lessons. Ages Kindergarten -Second Grade may attend children's church. The children are dismissed by the pastor following the congregational worship.
How Do I Meet People?
First Baptist Olney is not a place for spectators. It is a place for team members. Whether you are a five-year old child, a ninety-five year old grandmother, a busy mom, or a businessman with big responsibilities, we want you to be a part of our vibrant church community. Here is how you can learn, serve, and grow at First Baptist Olney. The way to jump right in to being a part of First Olney is to attend a Sunday School class. Our Sunday School is the largest organization in our church. This is the way you can connect to the life of the church. It is hard to really feel that you belong if you don't make Sunday School a regular part of your week. In Sunday School you will make relationships, find accountability, find answers for the hard problems, find a shoulder to cry on, find a place to serve others, and on top of that you will have a great Bible lesson each week from teachers who consider it their ministry to care for you!

Use these two tricks to get it right quickly, every time. Advertisement The first, as you can see in the above video from YouTube user Valrine Vernon, involves turning the case inside out and over your arms so you can grab the pillow through the case and and flip it around to cover it in one shot. It makes sense, we promise. Another quick way to case a pillow with minimal contact is described by hotel vet Jacob Tomsky, who's been featured here before. He describes the method he's seen countless housekeepers use: To put on a pillowcase, the housekeepers throw a solid karate chop right down the middle of the pillow and then shove it in, folded like a bun. This method is preferred to the civilian method of tucking it under your chin and pulling up the pillowcase like a pair of pants because these ladies have no interest in letting 50 pillows a day come into contact with their faces.And here's YouTube user Julie McAdoo illustrating the technique:Do whichever works for you, but both should be easier than the whole "hold it on your chin" technique most of us do.

Project by javaboy | posted 07-24-2012 04:02 AM | 1505 views | 0 times favorited | 8 comments |
This was made for someone who wanted a non-traditional serving bowl. I used a large hunk of maple that had been kicking around the shop forever. Because it was going to come into contact with food, I couldn't use my typical Danish oil and wax finish. Instead, it was finished with multiple coats of pharmacy grade mineral oil. I'm not real thrilled with the wood or the finish, but do like the shape. Hopefully someday I will revisit this idea with nicer wood and a better finish.

I use salad bowl finish on all my bowls. It gives it a mild shine. Of course you can buff it our to get it really shiny if that is what you are going for. As for the mineral oil, it will need to be re-applied depending on how much it is used. Love the bowl, I am always looking for new ideas.

Adding a wire going from the pot to IG worked! No more hum or buzz when touching the RK27 pot! Thanks again cfcubed!
I think I still heard a very very low buzz/hum with a few tubes though. It wasn't noticeable at all with other tubes. Tube heater voltage didn't matter. Some 12v had the buzz, others didn't. The 6v tube I tried out today was silent as well. Must be the particular tube then. Time to test all 15 or so tubes.

| Gigabyte motherboard with Intel Z68 Express chipset on sale in Taiwan Intel's Z68 Express chipset and its SATA 6Gb/s connections, CPU and memory overclocking, and SSD caching capability weren't supposed to hit store shelves until the eighth of May. But, at least one Taiwanese retailer didn't get the memo -- or maybe it's just another instance of Intel's early far-east distribution on the down-low -- because pics from across the Pacific show a shiny new Z68 Express motherboard from Gigabyte can already be had for the princely sum of NT $11,900 (about $407 here in the land of greenbacks). That's quite a stack of cash for a place to put your speedy Sandy Bridge CPU, but perhaps its expeditious performance can be had for a more reasonable price once it lands on western shores... or maybe we should just start saving now. http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/19/g...-on-sale-in-t/

Rock Pose for Digestion
I love Rock Pose. I feel calm, grounded, a little bit like time stands still when I'm just sitting on my heels. I've just discovered that in this position, coupled with deep, slow breathing where you feel your belly distend on the inhale and press in on the exhale, helps digestion after a meal.
When I first started yoga, sitting in Rock Pose was excruciating on my knees, and I felt like the circulation in my legs just stopped. Others feel the pain on the tops of their feet, or their ankles. Happily, sitting like this for a little while each day will help increase mobility in these areas, as I am proof of now being able to enjoy, even crave, resting like this for long whiles.
You can help get more comfortable by using bolsters:
~ sitting on a blanket folded several times for padding on the floor
~ placing a small cushion or rolled up bath towel under the ankles
~ placing a rolled up hand towel behind the knees
Then, place your hands on your thighs, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and think of nothing other than the air entering your lungs and exiting your nose.
Want to strengthen your digestion even more? Try this exercise once in a while, but be sure to do it on an empty stomach, please!
Sit in Rock Pose, getting comfortable enough to endure several minutes. Bring your hands over your head, palms firmly touching, elbows straight. Begin breath of fire, where you concentrate on the exhale (through the nose only) by pushing in your stomach, and inhale briefly (through the nose only) without really making efforts here, just allowing your stomach to relax. Your pace should be quick: two or three breaths per second, pumping your belly quite noticeably. Continue for two to three minutes, then lower your arms and relax. If you like, lie on the floor in Corpse Pose for a minute and completely let go. Done.

Still, as much as I love and appreciate Mexican food, I've got nothing on my brother Jeremy. He is a true Mexican Food Appreciator. Some sizable percentage of his Facebook updates are foursquare check-ins from various taquerias around town. I think his main interest is burritos, but he has always loved all foods Mexi, for as long as I can remember.
Sometime when he was in high school, he became our family guacamole pro. If my mom was making enchiladas or tostadas (etc) for dinner, she would always ask Jeremy to whip up a batch of guacamole. He made a super tasty guacamole that we all loved. I don't remember his recipe, but I think it included sour cream and salsa? I have a special feeling about Jeremy's guacamole because at my parents' house, my mom did all the cooking (and still does!)... so it felt really neat that there was this one special dish that Jeremy needed to be called in to make. In hindsight, I'm sure my mom could have made some sort of guacamole herself, but she probably appreciated the help, and she also probably liked including Jeremy in the kitchen.

Secrets to Getting Police Grants
Date last updated: Monday, July 15, 16:42 PST
Texas grant to fund new computers, cameras in squadsAustin Daily Herald AUSTIN, Texas — Thanks to a recent budget reshuffling and a $95,000 grant from the state, the Austin Police Department will be able to buy more equipment for its squad cars. Police recently petitioned the Austin City Council to switch $21,000 set aside for police cameras to buy four new computers for squad cars this year and two computers in subsequent years, on a 10-computer rotation. Krueger said police use those computers in a variety of situations, which include setting up perimeters around areas and communicating with other officers and dispatch on sensitive calls, or for things they don't want on police scanners.

Schick Intuition Plus Review
With four blades, a flexible head and nonslip grip handle, this women's shaver allows for a close, nick free shave. The best part is the convenience: each blade cartridge comes encased in a ring of soothing lotion that creates a smooth lather as you shave. Billed as a two-in-one razor, the Schick Intuition Plus cuts down on shaving time while providing a close, safe shave.
According to consumer reviewers, the Schick Intuition Plus covers all the must-haves. Rivaled by few, this cheap women's shaver screams convenience, so much so that Schick Intuition Plus reviews award it mostly four and five stars at Drugstore.com; one female soldier recommends it for all military women because it's so easy to use, especially in tight quarters. Perhaps more importantly, the Schick Intuition Plus provides a good close shave. According to a review on Amazon, this razor gives the user the best shave she's ever had.
The Schick Intuition Plus is a four-blade manual women's shaver that uses a unique cartridge to achieve a close shave. The blades themselves are surrounded by a block of moisturizing soap that lathers up when mixed with water, eliminating the need for soap or shaving cream. Placed near the blades inside the block of soap is an additional moisture strip for added comfort. With a nonslip-grip handle and a pivot head, the Schick Intuition Plus provides a soothing and clean shave.
Where to buy
One complaint lobbed at this cheap women's shaver is the cost of the refills, but at $10 for three cartridges this is pretty much standard for the category. Most women, however, don't seem to mind buying refills for the added convenience of not having to purchase or use shaving cream -- especially given the ease of shaving and the Schick Intuition Plus's appealing features.

Crisis Management Guide
Convention Services Manager
As more attendees carry their smartphones and tablets with them everywhere they go, meeting planners have faced a challenging task: increase engagement while overcoming an increased number of distractions. At Convening Leaders 2013, the PCMA Meetings Team embraced the potential of all those bright screens.
"Our Education Team had session development calls with speakers, and many of them indicated that they wanted to do some audience polling," Ann Johnson, associate director, programs, PCMA, says. "It was clear that more and more people are interested in this engagement tactic, so we partnered with Freeman to find the right solution."
That solution was Poll Everywhere, a web-based technology with pricing that allows meeting planners to collect 2,500 responses per poll for just $375 per month. Attendees can submit their answers via text messages, web pages or Twitter.
Every meeting planner can agree that any new technology brings a certain degree of uncertainty.
"There were a few nerve-racking moments," Johnson says. "When we first used the technology in the opening session with Morten Hansen, there was a bit of a delay before the poll began to populate."
SEE ALSO: Convening Leaders, Defining Innovation
For planners using the technology, Johnson says it's important to help speakers understand the potential for a slight delay.
"When there is a large group of people responding at once, it's a bandwidth issue," Johnson says.
"You don't want your speaker to panic," Johnson adds. "Take a deep breath, and be patient. Be sure to have a couple of comments to use as filler as you wait for responses to begin rolling in."
Morten Hansen's speech collected the highest number of responses, but PCMA used Poll Everywhere in 15 more sessions, too.
"A general session setting is perfect for Poll Everywhere, but the technology can be just as powerful in small group settings," Johnson says. "You can offer everyone a chance to weigh in even if they don't want to raise their hands and ask questions."
Poll Everywhere's social Q & A function gave Convening Leaders attendees the ability to do much more than simply respond. In four of the sessions, attendees could also submit text questions to moderators.
While the PCMA Meetings Team was focused on enhancing the on-site experience at Convening Leaders, Johnson says that giving virtual attendees a chance to feel part of the action was an important factor in selecting the right polling technology.
"You can arrange audience response systems on a closed network in your building, but we specifically wanted to include our attendees logged in around the world," Johnson says. "Because Poll Everywhere is web-based, we could give everyone with a connection a chance to be part of the action."

Professor of English David Mason '78 has an article in the Winter 2014 issue of The Hudson Review titled "Levels of Ambition." The piece is an assemblage of book reviews that look at five books of poetry: "For the Time Being" by W. H. Auden; "Madame X" by William Logan; "By Herself" by Debora Greger; "New and Selected Poems" by David Lehman; and "The Black Sea" by Stephanos Papadopoulos.
Mason writes that "Most contemporary poets I read seem too concerned with avoiding ridicule, trying to be the smartest kid in the workshop, rather than plumbing what Eliot called "the inexplicable mystery of sound"—bodying forth a whole charged expression of living. Much of our poetry seems denatured, flat. Intelligence abounds, cleverness is everywhere, but vitality is hard to find."
What does Mason recommend? "The answer is to write necessary poems," he says. He looks for transformative realizations, and writes "I don't know why our poets think they are writing book reports. They all seem to want gold stars on their foreheads."
The Hudson Review, founded in 1948, is a quarterly magazine of literature and the arts. "The Hudson Review is rare in having remained a forum for intelligent, well-written criticism and cultural commentary on a broad spectrum of topics. In fact it belongs to a tiny handful of magazines where the first criterion of inclusion is literary merit," says The Wall Street Journal.

Well, quite a day. I have to say a big thank you to John for perfect gunship parcel which finally arrived this morning after we spoke and John chased it up with the couriers. The courier firm actually brought in from manchester extra staff to deliver to my area in Merseyside. But let's just say that after speaking with john at 10 this morning my gunship arrived at 12.30 on the nose. It's an amazing piece of toy I must say. But thank you John & team. Hope you have a good christmas break after all the work we've put you to.
Conversely, I recieved a shipment from the States today also. Stuff i've not seen anywhere in the UK that was too good a price to resist....... so i thought. First of all the shipment has been split because parts of the order were in a seperate warehouse or some such blather. That means two lots of shipping and handling charges. Then to add injury to insult, i got slapped for £20 exise duties at the door before the postman would hand over the parcel. Apparently that's a hit and miss thing as to whether you get charged or not but just my luck to get a bum order and a bum deal from customs. In future I'm sticking with R2DTOYS. I know where I am with them. No flannel just a good buying experience and excellent service and fantastic quality goods. Sound like a commercial don't I? Not so really just a happy customer. The other place I've had two bad experiences with so far so they can go boil their heads as far as I'm concerned. Yay for R2DTOYS!!

Portland Timbers signing Kris Boyd says he had other offers to choose from before deciding to sign with the MLS club.
The 28-year old Scottish striker, who has previously played for Kilmarnock, Rangers, Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest and Eskisehirspor, has joined the Timbers on a deal believed to be worth around $2.7million.
Boyd, who was also being tracked by Houston Dynamo, revealed he had other offers but decided to commit to Portland after a good sell by head coach John Spencer.
"The MLS is a fantastic league with some of the best players in the world.
"I've had various offers to consider but feel I've made the right decision.
"I had good talks with John who did a brilliant job selling the club to me. All being well I'll get everything sorted in the next few days.""I've had a lot to think about in the last few weeks but this is too good an opportunity to turn down," he said.

Bit of background
Hi guys,
So previously the 3 tanks where split as such:
Tank A: 4 Angels (1 male, 3 females), 4 loaches, 1 pleco, 1 pseudo albino convict chiclid (all three female, from same batch, one in each tank), dwarf glassfish, albino corys (used to be 5, lost 2 when i rented new house).
Tank B: 3 loaches, 1 pleco, 1 pseudo albino convict chiclid, 5 head and tail lights, rainbow shark (was a black and red fin sharky, died after 3years, replaced now with a new albino shark approx 2inches now), 2 pandas+2 salt'n'pepper+1 copper cory, 5 albino columbians (i think) tetra, 3 penguin tetras, 3 dwarf glass fish
Tank C: 10 columbian tetras, 1 zebra grey and silver convict chiclid, 2 fancy guppies
Added them all together, and added the 8 danios + albino rainbow shark (new). As mentioned, the angels are 1male 3female, the chiclids are all 3 sisters, i think the pleco's are one male one female based on size as they where from same batch and big size difference.
The 3 chiclids are always together so are the 4 angles, the corys mostly group together on the substrate and all the tetras kinda school together with the dwarf glassfish... pleco and loaches mainly roaming when the lights go out....
PS: im not a troll, i am a fellow fish hobyist trying to learn as much as i can, allready had steep learning curve.... only 2 pet shops in my area and they are ran by ppl not to clued up i think on the freshies... they have major marine collections etc.
0how long have you had the angels? eventually they should pair off... when that happens the other 2 females will be out casts.
if you can seperate all the convicts again. a tank of convicts would be better than sticking them in a community tank.
basically the convicts, shark and angels are the big problem. with the extra tank you can keep all but the shark. maybe you can put one of the extra angels and the shark in one tank as well...
steep learning curves can be over come if you are willing to try XD. that tank looks nice, are those live plants?KING OF THE GOLD BARBS RAWR!!!!
I wonder if i plant one of my tiger barbs would the demon seed grow to a full tree?
gotta love them bunnies!
I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!
0Im glad you are willing to learn, the changes mommy proposed need to take place asap. Yes its a PITA when there seems like nothing wrong BUT trust us, things can go horrible overnight and you will end up with 10 fish missing eyes.
The biggest lesson to be learned, if you know the fish shops are terrible, is to do the research and ask before you go there. walk in with an objective and NEVER buy a fish you havnt researched. It usually ends bad.
0example, i went to a lfs and saw some jewel cichlids... love the look... people tell me they are great community fish... did some research found out they were as bad if not worst than convicts... if i didnt have my phone with me i would have ended up with a bad situation XD
I wonder if i plant one of my tiger barbs would the demon seed grow to a full tree?
gotta love them bunnies!
I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!
0Same thing I've always heard about the Jewels. Very aggressive just like the convicts. Neither of which are good fish for a community setting.

Thread: Peacock cichlids
Peacock cichlids
The peacock cichlids of Lake Malawi are arguably the most colorful fish in the world, or at least in freshwater. They have many benefits to them over other similar options for tank inhabitants.
Peacock cichlid is the common name of the cichlids in the genus Aulonocara. They are numerous. Also commonly called peacocks are any hybrids within or including these species. As with 10% of the world's freshwater fish, they are endemic to Lake Malawi in the Great Rift Valley in East Africa. They share the lake with two other main groups of cichlids, the mbunas and the open water piscivores. However, they do not interact much with either because of their lifestyle. The peacocks stay down deep (hence their enlarged eyes) while the others stay up in the shallower depths of the lake.
Peacocks' natural diet is high in invertebrates. Their lateral line system is highly developed in their face and head. They sit motionless just above the sandy substrate. With this advanced lateral line system they wait to feel the slightest vibration of anything under the surface of the sand. Once they feel it they quickly lunge their face and head into the substrate, coming up with a mouthful of sand, food item inside. This is very advaced for fish. Dolphins have a similar hunting method, except they actively produce sound in search of a food item, while the peacocks simply wait for it to move, giving away its position.
As with most of the cichlids in Lake Malawi, they are all mouthbrooders. As with mbunas, some males have eggs spots on the anal fin. These function to trick the female into going for the eggs spots thinking they are eggs. This allows the male to release sperm in to her mouth, helping to ensure all the eggs are fertilized. The female will hold the eggs in her mouth until they are about a half an inch in length, at which point she will release them and they are on their own. As with mbunas, in an aquarium setup there should either be all males or at least two females per male. The males are extremely brilliantly colored, while the females are simply a drab gray, frequently with a little coloration such as a thin orange line along the edge of the dorsal fin.
Peacocks are much less aggressive than mbunas. Even with large males in the tank, it is possible to add juveniles without worry assuming there are enough hiding areas.
The most natural setup for peacocks would be a spacious tank with multiple rock formations. A sand substrate is ideal. The rock formations should be spaced out enough to give an obvious visual barrier of sand between each rock pile. Each rock pile will become a single territory for one male. The females may roam freely from one territory to another, but any males will be enthusiastically deterred. In a mixed sex tank there is chasing and aggression, but nothing compared to mbunas. They will simply chase eachother out of their territories. Very little damage to any individual usually occurs.
Lake Malawi is naturally hard, alkaline, and has a unique chemical composition. Because of this peacocks will do their absolute best if kept in conditions that replicate this as best as possible. The pH should be maintained at about 8.2. If the water does not do this naturally a buffer should be used, as opposed to a directional pH adjuster. Buffers will bring the pH from either direction and hold it there. Directional buffers will bring the pH up or down, but do little to keep it there. This causes a yo-yo or rollercoaster pH. This is worse for the fish than a pH that is not ideal but is stable. To replicate the unique chemical composition there are special lake salts available. These provide the right elements, in the right proportions, in the right dosing for the lake. This is not just aquarium salt, nor marine salt. The composition is different. The dosing is specific to the lake, so the directions may provide one dose for Lake Malawi, one for Lake Tanganyika, etc. By providing the proper pH and special lake salts you will provide the best water parameters for these fish to truly do their best and thive in.
Tankmates for peacocks need to be chosen very carefully. A prerequisite to any combination is water parameters. Any fish to go in to a peacock tank need to have compatible water parameter ranges. In addition to this the other fish should not be too aggressive for the peacocks, nor passive enough to be picked on by the peacocks. Frequently cichlids will pay attention to other cichlids, yet effectively ignore non-cichlids. I do not suggest using any type of dither fish to keep the peacocks' attention off of eachother. Fish deserve to thrive, not be the focus of attention for aggressive cichlids. There are options, but almost all need to be done under the supervision of a fishkeeper good at detecting aggression issues, even when they are vaguely displayed. Some options to be considered are: bichirs (Polypterus spp.), Synodontis spp., and other hardwater species fitting the above requirements. Many people will mix the different types of Malawian cichlids. I have found that although sometimes they can do 'okay' together, they do better by themselves. The other types are simply too aggressive for peacocks to truly settle in and thrive. Even when they are mixed, the keeper needs to be capable of removing individuals as issues arise. If there are no spare tanks around or no space in the other tanks being kept, then the fish has to go back to the LFS.

nice write-up
0I've just setup a new tank - you can see my newbie post at http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ad.php?t=66597
Have an opportunity to buy "3 x Young Sunshine Peacocks (3.25cm)."
The seller is using a New Zealand online auction website and his feedback is good (2043 sales with over 99% positive feedback) so I figure the risk of buying online should be pretty low in this case.
These fish seem pretty peaceful but I've heard that some are best kept in mated pairs, or away from other males, etc., ...
I asked the seller what sexes these fish are and have been told they're "unsexable" - does that seem right? I hadn't heard of that before but that probably just show's my newbieness ;o)
Appreciate your help. I tried the search and didn't come up with anything so apologies if I've asked a question that's already been covered before.
Thanks in advance for all advice ;o)
0Sorry so late...
At that size the males probably have not colored up at all yet and that is what they mean by unsexable. Mature males are the ones that show the amazing colors, juveniles are just as bland as females.Aquarist since 1995

Your first question is more of a windows question. when you get your command line on the victim box you must use windows commands to copy the files to your attacking computer. for this you must be on the LAN and provide the full path from the files to be copied to the location to be copied to. I will not provide you with the commands as I dont really feel comfortable doing so. I will give you a hint. once you gain your cmd.exe line type "HELP" for your options. Trying to exploit a windows machine with out a working knowledge of its command line seems kind of silly though dont you think.
As for your second question you can use metasploit to upload your .exe file like sub7 or netcat but it would be smarter to use a exploit to upload the .exe and then set it to listen other wise you have to pennetrate twice with metasploit .once to uplad and once to activate. I hardley think youve searched at all because if you knew any thing about metasploit you would know all the different payload options. Thats all Im posting on the public fourm

Angels agree to terms with free agent RHP Joe Smith
By / MLB.com
ANAHEIM, CA - The Angels today announced the club has agreed to terms on a three-year contract with free agent right-handed pitcher Joe Smith. To make room on the 40-man roster, RHP Juan Gutierrez was designated for assignment. Today's announcements were made by General Manager Jerry Dipoto.
Smith, 29, made 70 relief appearances with Cleveland in 2013 and posted a 6-2 record and 2.29 ERA (63 IP - 16 ER) for the Indians. His 25 holds led the Tribe and ranked tied for seventh-most among American League relievers, while his ERA ranked 15th among A.L. relievers. Smith opened the 2013 season with 10 straight scoreless outings (8.2 IP) and also had a streak of 13 straight scoreless appearances (12.2 IP) from July 27-August 25. He posted a 0.72 ERA (25 IP - 2 ER) during his final 27 appearances of the season and his ERA ranked fifth in the Majors in that span (min. 25 IP). Overall, 57 of his 70 appearances were scoreless.
2013 marked his seventh Major League campaign, over which he has compiled a 27-16 record with three saves, 116 holds, 311 strikeouts and a 2.97 ERA (378.2 IP - 125 ER) in 439 games (all in relief). Over the last three seasons, Smith owns a 16-9 record and his 2.42 ERA (197 IP - 53 ER) ranks seventh among A.L. relievers in that span (min. 150 games). Additionally, he is one of two American League pitchers to have made at least 70 appearances in each of the last three seasons (also, Joel Peralta).
A native of Cincinnati, OH, Smith was selected by the New York Mets in the third round of the 2006 amateur draft and made his Major League debut on Opening Day of the 2007 season for the Mets. After two seasons with New York, he was traded to the Cleveland Indians on December 11, 2008.

Lockheed Martin Completes Final Friction Stir Weld on Orion Spacecraft
NEW ORLEANS, -The Orion crew exploration vehicle took shape as the two halves of the crew module were fused together at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, La. The Lockheed Martin Orion team welded the forward cone assembly to the aft barrel assembly using the next generation friction stir weld process. The 445-inch long weld is the longest such weld of its kind and will ensure optimal structural integrity for the harsh environments of space flight.
The completion of the crew module welds marked another key milestone for the Orion crew exploration vehicle, completing the structural framework of the spacecraft. All welds have met stringent quality requirements without any rework required. Prior to flight testing, this crew module will be tested on the ground in flight-like environments, including static vibration, acoustic, and water landing tests. Results will be used to correlate sizing models for all subsystems on the vehicle.
Orion weld operations take place on a Universal Weld System II (UWS II) that includes a 22-foot diameter turntable, a self-reacting friction stir weld head and a modular t-grid floor. The system affords virtually unlimited five-axis welding on fixture-mounted hardware. The UWS II is part of the National Center for Advanced Manufacturing, managed by the University of New Orleans Foundation in partnership with NASA and the State of Louisiana.
The friction stir welding process advances the state-of-the-art for circumferential welds, yielding higher strength and higher quality welds at a lower cost. The latest state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, efficient processes and new materials, such as the ultra-light weight Aluminum-Lithium alloy, are all being employed on Orion to produce the lightest possible vehicle for space flight.
"The combination of material and manufacturing advancements in technology are key reasons why the spacecraft is more lightweight and damage resistant than many industry experts thought possible," said Larry Price, Lockheed Martin Orion deputy program manager. "The balance of manufacturing methods and varied materials such as composites and advanced alloys that have been applied to Orion resulted in vehicle optimizations across the board - lowest cost, lightest weight, and improved structural integrity, which is critical to crew safety."
Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor to NASA for the Orion crew exploration vehicle - the nation's next generation spacecraft for future exploration throughout our solar system. The Orion spacecraft is comprised of a crew module for crew and cargo transport; a service module for propulsion, electrical power and fluids storage; a spacecraft adapter for securing it to the launch vehicle, and a launch abort system that will significantly improve crew safety.
The Lockheed Martin Orion Project office is based in Houston, Texas, near NASA's Johnson Space Center and leads the industry team that includes major subcontractors as well as a network of minor subcontractors and small businesses working at 88 facilities in 28 states. In addition, the program contracts with more than 500 small businesses across the United States through its expansive supply chain network.

Children are precious; As parents we worry about their health. When our children have issues and crises, these issues and crises affect us just as much, if not more, than it affects them. We fear that which might bring them fear; we hurt when we see them hurt; and sometimes, we cry just seeing them cry. Writer Elizabeth Stone once said "Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." So, when it seems like something is not quite right with your children - perhaps they seem more afraid than other kids, or they seem to get a lot angrier than their playmates do over certain things - this odd or "off" behavior can be experienced as terrifying. In fact, a child's difficulty can be just the starting point for your parental worry and concern. You might not know what to do to help your child, or where to go for help. Possibly, you may worry because you don't even know if your child's problem is somethi...

Ulf (us at mpipks-dresden.mpg.de) The problem is that the AmbientLight option can have only one setting (in this case red) for both plots when they are compined. In order to have a red and green sphere, define white LightSources and make the surface of the spheres red and green respectively. (With a simple color directive in front of the shapes or with the more sophisticated SurfaceColor directive.) Hope that helps Martin

Women and retirement planning
By SarahB
ProducersWeb Marketing
The challenges that women face in retirement are many and should only motivate our mothers, sisters and daughters to plan early and plan smart. In fact, the U.S. Department of Labor reports that:
· Of the 61 million wage-earning and salaried women in the US between the ages of 21 and 64, only about 46 percent participate in a retirement plan in any given year — much lower than the participation rate for men.
·Women are more likely than men to work in part-time jobs, and part-timers are less often eligible to participate in workplace retirement plans.
· Women are more likely to interrupt their careers to care for their families, giving them less time to participate in workplace retirement plans and less income to apply to future Social Security benefits.
·The average woman who retires at age 65 is likely to live 19 more years — approximately three years longer than the average man.
With the cost of retirement skyrocketing, these statistics should encourage women to check up on their 401(k) or other savings products and even investigate alternative investment vehicles. Is your mother/sister/daughter financially prepared for this period in your life? How about your client's mothers, sisters and daughters? What do you suggest your female customers do to be prepared for costs throughout retirement? Please leave your thoughts below.

Sudan: Pilot Test of Toolkit on HIV and Education in Emergencies
In October 2009, UNESCO held a consultative meeting in North Sudan to pilot test the draft Toolkit on Mainstreaming HIV in Education Sector Responses during Emergencies.
The draft Toolkit has been developed for education and emergency officers by the Task Team on HIV and Education in Emergencies, and its members from the International Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) and the Inter-Agency Task Team (IATT) on Education. It draws from the Toolkit for Mainstreaming HIV and AIDS in the Education Sector and the INEE Minimum Standards Handbook.
Initial consultations on the toolkit were conducted at the INEE Global Consultation held in Istanbul in April 2009 and the IATT the Inter-Agency Task Team (IATT) on Education meeting in Limerick in June 2009. These meetings provided valuable feedback for strengthening the Toolkit.
UNESCO, UNICEF and UNHCR are piloting the toolkit in selected countries, including Sudan, to make it more field-friendly.
The consultation was carried out in collaboration with the Sudanese National AIDS Control Programme, the Ministry of Education, UNICEF and UNHCR.
Participants involved in the consultation were from 3 Darfur States, 4 Eastern Sudan States, as well as representatives from NGOs, Ministry of General Education, Ministry of Higher Education, and the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs.
The UNESCO Country Office in Sudan reported that the extensive consultation was successful and the feedback provided will be useful to further refine the toolkit.

Film leapfrogs through a decade's worth of corruption and venality.
"Bad day?" one man inquires. "Aren't they all?" his mate replies, neatly summing up the pall of death and decay that infests and infects the world of West Yorkshire in "Red Riding," a compelling, disturbing crime drama that leapfrogs through a decade's worth of corruption and venality, leaving everyone in its vicinity permanently soiled or six feet under. Condensed from four novels by English crime writer David Peace, published between 1999 and 2002, into three interconnected feature-length telefilms broadcast by the U.K.'s Channel 4 in March, the trilogy will be released theatrically and on demand by IFC Films this fall after select fest showings, where reception should be strong, as it was in Britain.
The novels and films are a mix of fact and fiction centered around the disappearances of several young girls and the crimes of the actual Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, who killed 13 women from 1975-80 while eluding police. (Sutcliffe could, astonishingly, be released from prison two years from now.) The films, entitled "1974," "1980" and "1983" (Peace's other book was "1977"), reverberate significantly with one another, and are not designed to be stand-alone pictures, although the middle one could almost manage as a solo item. Dramatically and thematically, all these infuriating crimes against women open a door onto an appalling picture of official corruption that has the police at its center, flanked by big business and the clergy. There is some off-putting political correctness in the alignment of good guys and bad guys, with very traditional heavies having their way with gays, gypsies and the mentally handicapped, just for starters. But the baddies are a clan fully the equal of TV's Sopranos in what they're willing to do in the name of business and the status quo, and are all the more loathsome for wearing badges. Some of the local accents are so thick that IFC has advisedly subtitled all the dialogue. But even undivided viewer concentration will not guarantee complete understanding of the narrative here. Some of this can be explained away as befitting the material, which is dense and perhaps never entirely penetrable, but partly it's that too many names and events are thrown at the viewer, and in too cursory a manner. "Red Riding" is both an eyebrow-raiser and a brow-furrower. For a while in "1974" (all the titular dates are preceded onscreen with the words "The Year of Our Lord"), the drama unfolds like a provincial version of the original miniseries of "State of Play." Young Yorkshire Post correspondent Eddie Dunford (Andrew Garfield) is looking into the case of the latest girl who has gone missing but doesn't get very far, bumping up against unfounded rumors of gypsies and Irish being up to no good. But when the girl turns up dead, with swans' wings stitched into her back, the pot begins to boil. A mentally challenged immigrant (Daniel Mays) is railroaded into confessing, a seemingly paranoid newshound bites the dust but leaves Eddie with incriminating photos of police and officials, and Eddie starts an affair with another missing girl's vulnerable mum (Rebecca Hall). But the latter is also a plaything of the area's swaggering real estate magnate, John Dawson (Sean Bean). It all ends startlingly with a "Taxi Driver"-like massacre and, while more than one of the principal figures doesn't live to see the morn, that doesn't prevent them from showing up in revelatory flashbacks in subsequent installments. Directed by Julian Jarrold ("Bridehead Revisited") and shot in 16mm with a dingy immediacy, the episode by design raises more questions than it answers. It's a grimly bracing vision of an everyday hell, with evil seething beneath a profound banality of culture, taste and behavior. "1974" also establishes the immaculate level of acting that will distinguish the entire trilogy, beginning here with the stellar work of Hall and Bean. "1980" shifts stylistically into bold 35mm widescreen and dramatically into a Home Office investigation of police bungling in the Ripper case by an outsider, Peter Hunter (Paddy Considine, terrific). The straight-arrow Hunter gets little but taunting resistance from the tightly knit cops, who are revealed in flashbacks as expert torturers and participants in the "1974" carnage. Cops who remained background figures in the first episode move to the foreground here, notably the obvious ne'er-do-wells, frighteningly played by Sean Harris and Tony Pitts, and the new chief (David Morrissey, increasingly dominant). The Rev. Laws (Peter Mullan), who wears a collar but whose ties to any established church remain vague, becomes a gnawingly suspicious figure. But a most unexpected and intriguing layer in this middle episode, helmed with bold assurance by James Marsh ("Man on Wire"), is Hunter's struggle with monogamy. Dedicated to his wife, he is nonetheless still drawn to a former flame and fellow investigator, Helen (the excellent Maxine Peake). The ostensible downtime scenes are papered with good-nights at hotel room doors, professional exchanges laden with personal subtexts, the impulse to confess and the fight against capitulation. Even more than in the first episode, the conclusion is a shock. Sharply directed by Anand Tucker using the Red One camera, "1983" immediately rewards faithful viewers with a trip back to 1974 to reveal the foundation of the policemen's mafia. "To the North," they toast one another, "where we do what we want." This phrase, among others, is laid in too frequently, while other matters are rushed through so hastily that it's hard to know exactly what's happened. But there are so many faces of Yorkshire evil that it takes nearly the final two hours to reveal them all. Reluctantly leading the climactic look-see is tubby solicitor John Piggott (Mark Addy), who is pushed into representing the appeal of the dimwitted fellow long ago convicted of the child abductions. The latter's evident innocence opens the field to discovering the true culprits, whose identities have been hinted at all along, even if proof is another matter. Also coming to fore are former police kingpin Bill Molloy, a role the deep-voiced, toadlike British TV vet Warren Clarke seizes in the trilogy's most indelible and emblematic performance; Morrissey's troubled new chief; and wispy, mysterious street hustler BJ (Robert Sheehan). The cumulative impact of "Red Riding," adapted with great finesse by Tony Grisoni ("Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," "Tideland"), is weighty, depressing and confounding: Can human nature be this bad or is it just the way the material has been shaped and slanted? How could England fall so far in a single generation, from one that stood up to Hitler to another that kills its own without blinking, and lacks the official will to deal with it? The upside, however, and whatever consolation it may afford, is that the further dissemination of "Red Riding" will serve to remind and reaffirm that world-class dramatic work continues to be done in the country.Red Riding

If you guys are into DIY you could probably make back a bit of the money by desoldering the switches and selling the switches, then selling the keycaps, the top case of the QFR and maybe even the PCB/plate, not sure if there's a market for generic PCB's, most likely not.
There are a few that do this over at GH, especially with vintage boards. Doubleshot or Dye-Sublimated keycaps from vintage Cherry boards fetch a pretty penny depending on the set and condition. There are a few other manufactuers that have sought after keycaps and switches (like WYSE for example) and can be had from ebay for pretty cheap if you're quick. If you want to see an expensive keyboard, look for the Cherry G80-5000HAAUS At one point I had a G80-2100HDU (the battleship) BNIB that was just too big to use anywhere, even work. I ended up making a nice trade + cash on it, as those can be rare...but not nearly as rare as the 5000 ErgoPlus...people pay disgusting amounts for those haha. I think some people did some custom QFR tops (custom paint, etc) and sold them...covering up those pesky logos.

Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) is a set of features in Visual Studio 2008 that extends powerful query capabilities to the language syntax of C# and Visual Basic. As a part of LINQ, LINQ to SQL provides a run-time architecture for managing relational data as objects. To some extent, it equals to an ORM tool or framework such as NHibernate and Castle based on the .NET framework. It becomes our preferred choice gradually when we want to access databases.
In LINQ to SQL, all variables in the Data Model of a relational database can be strongly typed, which provides the benefit of compile-time validation and IntelliSense. We can fetch the data from the database using a query expression (it includes query syntax and method syntax).
However, the strongly typed feature is not conducive to abstract the common logic of data operations, so the developer has to define a specific class to handle the entity object. It results in a large number of repeated codes If we can implement the base class which encapsulates common operations such as Select, Where, Add, Update, and Delete, it will be useful for N-tier applications.
Using my base class for LINQ to SQL, you can simply implement the class to access a database without a line of code. What you should do is to let your class derive my base class, like this:
public class EmployeeAccessor:AccessorBase<Employee,NorthwindDataContext> { }
Now, you can add, update, delete, or select the data object with it. Please refer to the Unit Test Method:
[TestMethod()] public void UpdateEmployee() { EmployeeAccessor accessor = new EmployeeAccessor(); IList<Employee> entities = accessor.Where(e => e.EmployeeID == 1); if (entities != null && entities.Count > 0) { entities[0].FirstName = "Bruce"; entities[0].LastName = "Zhang"; accessor.Update(entities[0],true,true); } }
You may even let the Employee entity derive my base class directly:
public partial class Employee : AccessorBase<Employee, NorthwindDataContext> { }
Its behavior is very similar to the Rich Domain Model like Martin Fowler said in his article titled Anemic Domain Model.
The implementation of the query function is very simple. We can invoke a method called GetTable<TEntity>() in the DataContext of LINQ, then invoke some LINQ operations of the GetTable<TEntity>() method, and pass the Lambda Expression to it:
public IList<TEntity> Where(Func<TEntity, bool> predicate) { InitDataContext(); return m_context.GetTable<TEntity>().Where(predicate).ToList<TEntity>(); }
We can also expose the method which accepts the condition clause using a dynamic query:
public IList<TEntity> Where(string predicate, params object[] values) { InitDataContext(); return m_context.GetTable<TEntity>().Where(predicate, values). ToList<TEntity>(); }
The implementation of the Update method (also the Delete method) is more complex. Though we can use the Attach methods LINQ introduces, there are some constraints for them. So, I have provided a couple of Update methods for different situations.
At first, we must consider whether the entity has relationship with other entities or not. If yes, we have to remove the relationship from it. I have defined a Detach method using Reflection technology, like this:
private void Detach(TEntity entity) { foreach (FieldInfo fi in entity.GetType(). GetFields(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance)) { if (fi.FieldType.ToString().Contains("EntityRef")) { var value = fi.GetValue(entity); if (value != null) { fi.SetValue(entity, null); } } if (fi.FieldType.ToString().Contains("EntitySet")) { var value = fi.GetValue(entity); if (value != null) { MethodInfo mi = value.GetType().GetMethod("Clear"); if (mi != null) { mi.Invoke(value, null); } fi.SetValue(entity, value); } } } }
For EntityRef<T> fields, we may set their values to null by calling the SetValue of FieldInfo to remove the relationship. However, we can't do EntitySet in the same way because it is a collection. If set to null, it will throw an exception. So, I get the method information of the field and invoke the Clear method to clear all the items in this collection.
For the update operation, we can pass the changed entity and update it. The code snippet is shown below:
///  /// Update the entity according to the passed entity. /// If isModified is true, the entity must have timestamp properties /// (means isVersion attribute on the Mapping is true). /// If false, the entity's properties must set the UpdateCheck attribute /// to UpdateCheck.Never on the Mapping (There are some mistakes still) ///  /// <param name="changedEntity">It shoulde be changed /// in another datacontext</param> /// <param name="isModified">It indicates the entity should be considered dirty /// and forces the context to add the entity to /// the list of changed objects.</param> /// <param name="hasRelationship">Has Relationship between the entitis</param> public void Update(TEntity changedEntity, bool isModified, bool hasRelationship) { InitDataContext(); try { if (hasRelationship) { //Remove the relationship between the entities Detach(changedEntity); } m_context.GetTable<TEntity>().Attach(changedEntity, isModified); SubmitChanges(m_context); } catch (InvalidCastException ex) { throw ex; } catch (NotSupportedException ex) { throw ex; } catch (Exception ex) { throw ex; } } public void UpdateWithTimeStamp(TEntity changedEntity) { Update(changedEntity, true); } public void UpdateWithNoCheck(TEntity changedEntity) { Update(changedEntity, false); }
Notice that the entity which will be updated must have a timestamp, or it will throw an exception.
Don't worry about the correctness of the final result when we remove the relationship between the entities. The Attach method is just responsible for associating the entity to a new instance of a DataContext to track the changes. When you submit the changes, the DataContext will check the real value in the mapping database and update or delete the record according to the passed entity. Especially, you should take an action such as Cascade in the database if you want to cascade the delete between the foreign key table and the primary key table.
If the entity has no relationship with others, you may pass "false" to the hasrelationship parameter, like this:
It's terrible to create the timestamp column for your data table which exists, maybe it will affect your whole system. (I strong recommend you to create the timestamp column for your database, it will improve the performance because it won't check all columns if they have changed during handling the concurrency.) My solution to this issue is to pass the original entity and update it with the Action<TEntity> delegate, like this:
///  /// Update the entity which was passed /// The changedEntity cann't have the relationship between the entities ///  /// <param name="originalEntity">It must be unchanged entity /// in another data context</param> /// <param name="update">It is Action<T>delegate,  /// it can accept Lambda Expression.</param>  /// <param name="hasRelationship">Has relationship between the entities</param> public void Update(TEntity originalEntity, Action<TEntity> update, bool hasRelationship) { InitDataContext(); try { if (hasRelationship) { //Remove the relationship between the entitis Detach(originalEntity); } m_context.GetTable<TEntity>().Attach(originalEntity); update(originalEntity); SubmitChanges(m_context); } catch (InvalidCastException ex) { throw ex; } catch (NotSupportedException ex) { throw ex; } catch (Exception ex) { throw ex; } }
Considering the concurrency issue, I give the default implementation for it by defining a virtual method called SubmitChanges. It will handle concurrency conflicts by the rule of last submit win. This method is as shown below:
protected virtual void SubmitChanges(TContext context) { try { context.SubmitChanges(ConflictMode.ContinueOnConflict); } catch (ChangeConflictException) { context.ChangeConflicts.ResolveAll(RefreshMode.KeepCurrentValues); context.SubmitChanges(); } catch (Exception ex) { throw ex; } }
You may override the method in your subclass if you want to change the policy to handle the concurrency conflicts.
Maybe you have noticed that the InitDataContext method is invoked in all methods to access the data. Its implementation is like this:
private TContext m_context = null; private TContext CreateContext() { return Activator.CreateInstance<TContext>() as TContext; } private void InitDataContext() { m_context = CreateContext(); }
Why do we need to create a new instance of DataContext for each method? The reason is the caching policy in the DataContext. If you create a new instance of the DataContext and query the data from the database with it, then change its value and execute the same query with the same instance, the DataContext will return the data stored in the internal cache rather than remap the row to the table. For more information, please refer to LINQ in Action.
So, the best practice is to create a new instance of the DataContext for each operation. Don't worry about the performance, the DataContext is a lightweight resource.
