The Schaap Case - Troubling to This Preacher
The following is republished by permission of Pastor Bobby Mitchell, Jr., Mid-coast Baptist Church, Brunswick, Maine, firstname.lastname@example.com
August 6, 2012
I want to go on record with preacher friends and acquaintances concerning what I find most troubling about the wickedness of Jack Schaap. First, it is troubling that many are writing about his "fall" as if he were a man of God that sinned. Matt Olson and Paul Chappell are two that have weighed in on this and referred to this as a "fall."
The truth is that Schaap didn't fall from anything. A cursory glance at his doctrine and deeds over the last eleven years would have revealed to any discerning Christian that he was a false prophet, a wolf, a viper, a dog, and an evil worker. Those are Biblical words. It is sad that he used the name Baptist but he was no more a Baptist than was Balaam. It is sad that he hurt many people and has misrepresented Christianity, but his preaching and practice plainly evinced that he was never what he claimed to be.
Second, it is troubling that so many refuse to acknowledge the obvious fact that Schaap was the product of the belief and behavior of his father in law. If Scripture is our authority then we must agree with it in its condemnation of the preaching and practice of Jack Hyles. If you don't know what I'm writing of, then it is time to do your research for Hyles has been a major influence in leavening Baptist churches. You have no excuse for remaining in ignorance if you have read Matthew 7, Acts 20, Philippians 3, I and II Timothy, Titus, 2 Peter 2, I, II, III John, and Jude.
It is time to apply those passages where they need to be applied: the NT churches of the Lord. Those warnings concerned men who would operate among NT churches.
The men who have continued to promote the influence of Jack Hyles need to repent. These include Jack Trieber, Tony Hutson, David Gibbs, Paul Chappell, Clarence Sexton, Jeff Fugate, Doug Fisher, and Keith Gomez. Some of them have roundly condemned Schaap in recent years but they still have promoted the root of the fruit that is Schaap. Didn't Someone tell us to either make the tree corrupt or make it good? Some of them have broken from Schaap but have not sounded a clear warning as to why they ceased fellowship with him. Their silence has been deafening for the last several years. It has contributed to him having the influence that he did have until his recent exposure.
Clarence Sexton was implored by many brethren to not promote Jack Schaap. He ironically criticized the criticism but pressed on with his newfound "friend" until last week. Now one can search all of his websites in for his friend and it is as if Schaap never existed. The filthy doctrines were excused, but at least there was a standard somewhere concerning when to not be friends.
With the light of Scripture shining on the "ministry" of Hyles, with that torch revealing the depravity of his writings, sermons, and conduct, how can any discerning Christian continue to follow his footsteps or walk with those that do? It is time to get to the root of the mess that is Hammond. Be separate from all that smacks of the least influence of Hyles. Let us cling to true New Testament preaching and practice. Abandon the man made movements and machinery. Pursue purity as individuals and as churches.
I thank the Lord that, by his grace, I was never in the Hyles movement, but I grieve that so many are to one degree or another. This is what most troubles me about the Schaap debacle. It is truly the Hyles mess and so many are still involved in hylesism who may not be if it were not for the political preachers who refuse to confront it Biblically.
I am thankful for grace and true Biblical fellowship. I thank the Lord that there are still some who are separated unto the Lord. May God help us to stand with grace and truth.

[The following links to a Pastor Sexton Facebook post. - ed]
The myth that a man of God fell is now continued by Pastor Clarence Sexton. I do not joy in this. It is grievous. There is still no acknowledgement of the false doctrine and practice that Jack Schaap promoted. There is no repentance of fellowshipping with and promoting a false teacher. There is no turning from the false idea of unity. These are dark days.
Independent Baptists need to deal with sinful teaching and practice in our midst. We pastors need to turn the churches we are leading away from any influence of false teachers no matter what label they wear. The warning passages in the New Testament deal with men who would come in among the NT churches. When will we understand this?
So much time is spent exposing the false prophets that are totally outside of the Lord's assemblies while those that are operating amongst His churches are not marked. Joel Osteen and TD Jakes are roundly condemned while the certain men who have crept in among the flocks of Jesus are given a pass because they wear the IB team jersey.
This style of separation is like a man railing against the border issue in Arizona while doing nothing about criminals who are pillaging his own house and abusing his wife and children.
I fear the Schaap issue will only be treated as a moral fall. The doctrine and practice was un-Godly long before the sexual perversion was known. When will it be repudiated by FBCH, David Gibbs, Clarence Sexton, Jack Trieber, et al? Is sexual immorality the only sin that Baptists cry out against anymore? Is false doctrine no longer worthy of our rebuke?
The root issue is the false religion of Hyles that has permeated, to one degree or another, a tremendous number of IB churches. His religion included: a gospel that removed the Lordship of Jesus Christ, un-Scriptural understanding of genuine repentance and faith, the elevation of men, a false view of success, a use of cheap gimmickry in building churches, un-Biblical preaching, emotionalism, false sanctification, false doctrine of the Holy Spirit, so called conversions without any change . . .
May God help us to be purged of these wicked doctrines and deeds and get back to the Bible as our sole authority for faith and practice.

My device is an 8520 v184.108.40.2064
I've had the phone for about a month now and up until last week it's been perfect. However recently I have had difficulties with both my message folders (the one that collates the SMS and MMS messages, and the other that collates all Web-Based material). Both folders have the same problem.
Taking the SMS and MMS folder as an example, when I receive a message the icon shows, but the message does not show in the folder - instead I have to go to View Folders > SMS Inbox. However once past midnight all of the messages from the previous day appear? I don't know if there's some sort of archiving thing going on?
Likewise with the web-based messages, rather than going into the Messages folder I have to search for the individual email account folder, the facebook application, or the BB Messenger application.
I have tried a battery pull and it has had no effect. The irritating thing is if I go to Messaging > Options > General Options and change anything it seems to corect the problem temporarily, but not on a permanent basis.
Is this a common problem? It's starting to get very irritating, i hope someone here will be able to help.
Thank you for taking the time to read this
I also have this problem. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Many Thanks
I seem to have found a solution for this issue,
I faced 3 issues:
1) never herd a tone for incoming sms's
2) never got my sms's in the folder (had to check it from view folder)
3) could not combine sms and emails in one folder
all i did was got my sim card upgraded and restarted the phone, apparently my sim was of low capacity in terms of the Mb's and it has worked perfectly ever since.
Do let me know if this sorts out your issue!

Dear Mother Girls White T-Shirt (Bamboo)
Dear Mother – Things are going great… honest!
Original illustration for Conquer Gear ® by Daniel Jamie Williams.
70% Bamboo Viscose 30% Organic Cotton
Fine Jersey 3oz / 115g
Our women's bamboo roll-sleeve is a classic tunic style T with rolled up sleeves. Good for women that are looking for a boy cut with female detailing; slightly more feminine open neck and smaller hems.
Bamboo has a shady past, used to torture during war. Jungle habitat that can grow up to 1 meter a day, it was grown into unfortunate victims while they were strapped in place. But what about harnessing this growth spurt for good? Bamboo can be continually re-harvested with no damage to the surrounding environment. It is a grass and so regenerates after being cut just like a lawn without the need for replanting. Soil erosion is not an issue and crop rotation is not required to keep the soil in good condition.
As long as we use finite resources with care and look after production issues, they can offer us amazing solutions. Cotton the largest user of water among all agricultural commodities. Bamboo is used for food, construction as well as clothing. With careful planning it provides more material per hectare than cotton, while also growing in harsh and un-irrigated land. This may prove to be the yin to our yang!

If you or your spouse is experiencing man premature ejaculation issues, understand that there are a number of variables that could be attributing to this disorder, and that it's a fairly common sexual / psychological disorder that couples face. Mens premature ejaculation can create frustration in a relationship when the woman is unable to correspond to her husband's orgasms, and the sex is ended quickly after the man feels physically expired and unable to maintain a new erection post coitus. Unlike erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation is unrelated to issues of the libido or blood flow, and is often attributed to psychiatric disorders.
In fact, it's not uncommon for a doctor to attribute man premature ejaculation issues to a disorder like depression, thereby prescribing anti-depressants. The behavior could be a subconscious type of passive-aggressive behavior that continually manifests itself, even without the victim of the disorder being unaware that there is a pre-meditated intention to continue the mens premature ejaculation behavior. Often, a skilled sex therapist will explore the nature of the relationship and help the couple learn what motivation could be precipitating the premature ejaculation habits. Unresolved issues or even past traumas could be conditioning this type of behavior.
There are also instances when man premature ejaculation issues are actually more attributed to the woman. If a woman is unable to achieve orgasm, or takes a very long time to climax, the man may inevitably achieve orgasm even before she is ready. Such conditions may require a natural enhancement for women strategy, such as certain vitamins and a diet to enhance a woman's libido, or even certain medications. However, more often the inability for a woman to achieve orgasm is also related to psychological issues which can be worked out through a trained sex therapist, relationship counselor or psychiatrist.
Commonly the man will be told to practice natural ejaculation control techniques. This is a common way to treat man premature ejaculation related conditions. This involves the couple focusing more on arousal versus explicit genital stimulation, and for the man to pay closer attention to his body, and learn to control movements that bring him closer to climax. With a fair amount of practice, a man may learn to completely control his orgasms, and know precisely what motions initiate climax the fastest. By understanding the way his own body responds, a man can allow orgasms to be timed between him and his partner, for maximum effect and pleasure.

- $99 for a four-week boot camp for two (a $238 value)
Buyers have access to all nine locations during their four-week sessions. See each location's website for a class schedule.
Fusion Fit Camp
Thomas Volmer credits his wife, Rachel, for inspiring them to start helming boot camps. She wasn't always a fitness guru, though. "She was a commercial banker and she was 70 pounds overweight," Volmer recalls. Once she started to reclaim her life, "she just fell in love with fitness," he says. She eventually dropped 80 pounds with proper exercise and nutrition, spurring her to earn her AFAA personal training certification and pursue a career as a full-time trainer.
Personal experience lends Rachel and the other trainers—including Sharon Monk, who lost more than 200 pounds by exercising and eating healthily—empathy and a motivating demeanor when working with campers. At each location, they get groups doing pushups, swinging kettlebells, and flipping tires in a positive environment that's focused on teamwork, rather than competition. "You start as a group, you finish as a group," says Thomas. "But the activities that you do in between might be different based on your abilities."
In addition to leading sessions, Rachel creates easy-to-use online meal plans (including a vegetarian plan), which campers can customize to help them stay on track. Options range from the simple, such as cereal with fruits, nuts, and flaxseeds, to the creative, including honey-sweetened oatmeal peanut-butter cookies. She also includes the calorie count for each recipe. Users can pick from simple meals made for one person or larger entrees designed with an entire family or pet elephant in mind.

"I been a long time leaving, but I'm going to be a long time gone."
-Willie Nelson
I think we have been pretty clear on this – Global Growth is slowing and the USA is not going to "de-couple" from this globally interconnected world. This time is not different.
Last night on CNBC I asked Goldman's chief of everything US economic forecasting, Jan Hatzius, when he was going to cut his US GDP forecasts again. He didn't really answer the question.
That doesn't mean that you don't have to answer it for yourself and/or your clients out there today. Real-time risk waits for no one.
Back to the Global Macro Grind…
Willie Nelson is also known as the Red Headed Stranger. He's the kind of Red-White-and-Blue blooded American we Canadian folks from Northern Ontario grew up respecting. He was born during a legitimate Great Depression (1933). He was self-made. And he didn't wake up every morning looking to point fingers at anyone but himself.
That's who I am. That's who many of you are. That's why this entire political Gong Show that has become our policies and markets gets us so fired up. That's also why we are going to lead from the front and change it. The day you stop blaming everyone but yourself, is the day you start to lead.
Morgan Stanley got a subpoena last night for doing what it is that the Old Wall does. So, they put out a press release admitting as much – but, in doing so, entirely missed the point – i.e. what it is that they do during the IPO process doesn't make sense to The People. This is a huge political football going into the US Presidential Election.
Since Morgan Stanley was a recipient of socialized bailout policies, now that's their problem to deal with. That's the other side of the Hank Paulson trade. It's now the US stock market's problem too. The US Financial Sector ETF (XLF) is laden with the Too Big To PR names.
In the last 2 days I have basically yard-sale'd my Global Equity exposure. On Monday morning we had 27% US Equity and 12% International Equity exposures, respectively. I'll go into the open with the following:
- US Equities 6% (Healthcare = XLV)
- International Equities = 0%
- US Dollar = 9%
I'm not going to apologize for playing this game fast. Sometimes you have to. I've been a Long Time Leaving this charlatanic parade of storytelling. There are only so many times you can assure people that growth "is back" or it just "feels like" an economic recovery.
Enough of the "feel" already.
Quantitatively, this doesn't feel like anything other than what the score is telling you. Growth Slowing has been plainly obvious to any economist/strategist who has live quotes and real-time data since March.
Inclusive of this morning's selloffs, here are the asset price draw-downs (ie real-time indicators) since February-March:
- Japanese stocks (Nikkei225) = -16.6%
- Hong Kong stocks (Hang Seng) = -13.3%
- Indian stocks (BSE Sensex) = -13.5%
- German stocks (DAX) = -11.8%
- Italian stocks (MIB) = -23.8%
- Russian stocks (RTSI) = -27.5%
- Commodities Index (CRB) = -12.3%
- Oil (WTIC) = -17.8%
- Gold = -13.0%
- Copper = -14.1%
If you bought into any of the cockamamy "surveys" that growth "feels" fine, you can tell me how that's going to feel in your P&L today. We, as a profession, have been living through growth slowdowns for 5 years and we are better than some of the said sources on growth have repeatedly proven to be.
You'll note that I didn't include Spain or the US stock market in the draw-down table. But they are in our refreshed Chart of The Day. You'll recall that you've had plenty of opportunity to sell US Equities in the last 3 months; plenty of opportunity to ask yourself 'heh, why on God's good earth would the US, China, and Japan "de-couple" from mean reversion risk?'
Even if you didn't say it to yourself that way, you probably thought about it in terms of what we have coined as The Correlation Risk. Get the US Dollar right, and you'll get pretty much everything else right. That's not a perma-strategy. Nothing is. It's just the one that's not losing you money right here and now.
With the US Dollar up for the 4thconsecutive week to $81.80 this morning, here's your refreshed immediate-term inverse correlations between the USD and everything else:
- Euro Stoxx600 = -0.96
- MSCI Emerging Market Index = -0.97
- CRB Commodities Index = -0.93
- US Treasury 10-yr Yield = -0.93
- Copper = -0.97
How does that "feel"?
I've been a Long Time Leaving the broken forecasting processes of the Old Wall. Most of these outfits have missed every single Growth Slowing call since 2007. Unless they change what it is that they do, they might just be a long time gone soon too.
My 27 person research team and I will be grinding through our long/short positions on our Best Ideas Conference Call this morning at 11AM EST. Please ping if you'd like access to Risk Managed Buy-Side Research built by buy-siders.
My immediate-term support and resistance ranges for Gold, Oil (WTIC), US Dollar Index, EUR/USD, and the SP500 are now $1, $90.13-93.28, $1.26-1.28, and 1, respectively.
Best of luck out there today,

Chief Executive Officer
CONCLUSION: We continue to flag what we view as heightened risk for a JGB market rout; for now, however, the coast remains clear.
POSITION: Short the Japanese yen (FXY).
In the wee hours of the morning (US time) the international ratings agency Fitch downgraded Japan's long-term local-currency sovereign debt rating one notch to A+; additionally, the agency reduced the country's long-term foreign currency debt rating two notches to the same level. This action is critical in nature because we are now one step (i.e. a downgrade from another "Big 3" agency: S&P = AA- w/ NEG outlook and Moody's = Aa3 w/ STABLE outlook) closer to triggering a ~$78B capital shortfall across the Japanese financial system.
One catalyst we see in accelerating the time frame of additional downgrades is that Japanese bureaucrats may wait until scheduled Upper House elections in the summer of 2013 to hold elections in the Lower House, per Azuma Koshiishi, secretary-general of the DPJ. Unless the LDP has backed off of their demand to dissolve the Diet prior to negotiating on the VAT hike, there will be no progress made on this front for over one full year – a major catalyst for further downgrades of Japanese sovereign debt further per commentary out of both of the remaining agencies.
The most recent downgrade (today) had a fair impact on the currency market, with the USD/JPY cross jumping from ¥79.58 to as high as ¥79.77 within minutes following the downgrade.
Looking to the Japanese sovereign debt market – which has been a key focus of ours this year as it relates to potentially being the next domino in the context of our Sovereign Debt Dichotomy theme – prices are not confirming Fitch's worry that "[t]he country's fiscal consolidation plan looks leisurely relative even to other fiscally-challenged high-income countries, and implementation is subject to political risk."
Two, ten and thirty-year nominal JGB yields have trended down in recent months to ~7, ~9 and ~2 year lows, respectively. From a market demand perspective, a couple of recent developments highlight the [arguably] well-deserved complacency within that market in that the BOJ failed to receive enough offers from financial institutions for its recent Asset Purchase Program open market operation (only ¥480.5B of a ¥600B target); this is in addition to failing to meet a ¥310B target (¥174.7B offered) for its Rinban operation (purchases of JGBs w/ a maturity < 1yr). For now, Japanese financial institutions can't get their hands on enough JGBs!
Given the impressive demand conditions, it's no surprise to see that L/T-S/T nominal JGB yield spreads have compressed meaningfully over that same duration. Part of this is due to the risk that the BOJ decides on implementing further easing measures in its monetary policy meeting, which is currently underway (results published tomorrow). Increasing the [bond] duration of their purchases and potentially acquiring foreign assets are two policy initiatives we think they may pursue if they do decide to incrementally ease at the current juncture.
For context, we're of the view that the Cabinet Office's recently upgraded 2012 economic outlook and the central bank's increasingly hawkish fiscal 2012-13 inflation guidance limits the need for them to pursue further easing measures in the near term; a chart of medium term breakeven inflation expectations in Japan confirm our view. On the flip side, the threat of rolling blackouts this summer ranging from 7-20% of peak consumption (depending on region) could force downward pressure on the Japanese economy over the intermediate term and force the central bank to react preemptively to maintain Japanese Real GDP growth, which, after four consecutive quarters of YoY contraction, accelerated to +2.7% YoY in 1Q12.
Jumping back to JGB risk, Japanese sovereign credit default swaps of the 5yr and 10yr tenors have backed up a fair amount in recent weeks, widening +18bps and +31bps, respectively, from their YTD lows. As the table below highlights, however, the widening seen in Japanese swaps recently has dramatically lagged the region, lending credence to our view that Japanese sovereign debt risk on this metric is merely accelerating as a function of global financial market contagion borne largely out of Europe. The same can be said regarding the recent widening of Japanese bank CDS as well, though perhaps to a lesser degree, given their outsized exposure to JGB risk (25% of total assets).
All told, we continue to flag what we view as heightened risk for a JGB market rout – particularly from current prices. That said, however, our call has not and will not invoke the consensus storytelling that simply focuses on highlighting the unsustainable nature of Japanese fiscal imbalances; rather we will continue to stay finely in tune with any/all catalysts that we find material enough to potentially shift sentiment within this market. For now, the coast remains clear and we remain bearish on the JPY vs. the USD from a long-term TAIL perspective – of course trading it with a bearish bias over the intermediate term, given its preponderance to appreciate in the context of our TREND-duration fundamental Global Macro view.

Report: Reversed targeting call no longer carries 15-yard penalty
Starting this season, teams will not be penalized 15 yards when game officials overturn a targeting penalty, reports ESPN.com's Brett McMurphy.
According to the report, the NCAA's Playing Rules Oversight Panel voted on the proposal on Thursday.
Last season, under new rules aimed at player safety, a flag thrown for targeting received an automatic replay. Yet even in the case of a reversal, the 15-yard penalty stood.
ELLIS: NCAA withdraws controversial '10-second' rule proposal
This year, if a targeting penalty is reversed after review, the team will not automatically be penalized 15 yards. When the penalty is upheld, the offending team still will be penalized 15 yards. Just like last season, violations occurring in the first half will result in a player being ejected for the rest of the game. Second half violations result in ejection for the rest of the game and the first half of the team's next game.

Fantastic! Here was the feedback from the recipient: " they did such a nice job of stacking up the chocolate boxes and wrapping with a nice red ribbon and gift card - it was very professional and nicely done".
Easy for me because I did not have the hassle of having to pack it and mail it to Japan myself (expensive). " A Walker - USA - Jul 13, 2015 "All good they loved it. Thank you and the team very much for your help and going the extra yards for us especially as it did get a bit tricky for a while. Will definitely recommend your company." Jon M. - Brisbane QLD, Australia - Sep 23, 2015 "I requested a basket that contained a wine bottle to be delivered in Norway. It is the first shop that could do it, and my boyfriend received a very good Spanish wine from La Rioja. The shop did all its best to contact a local shop in Norway in order to fulfill my wishes, since Norway has alcoholic restrictions. Since the very beginning of my order the shop kept me informed by phone about the order, and I live in Spain! My boyfriend received the package with chocolates and a rose, on time and he was really suprised and very touched. Thank you Gift Baskets Overseas to help me to make happy a person. " Liliana - Barcelona, Spain - Mar 22, 2010 "I first used Giftbasketsoverseas.com months ago. I placed an order from USA going to Russia. I placed on a Saturday night and it was delivered to my friend on Sunday. I was amazed how quick it was. I just placed my 2nd order on May 3rd another Saturday night and again it was delivered the next day. My friend loved it. Her Mom is going in the hospital for surgery so I just wanted to give them some joy. They forgot to put my card with the message with gift. It really was not a problem but they really stepped up and the next day brought my friend a complimentary box of chocolates. That was a great gesture and I will be using gift baskets solely and will recommend to anyone that will be shipping abroad."

Detroit Lions quarterback Jon Kitna and his wife dressed up as a naked man and a fast-food drive-through attendant at a teammate's Halloween party, depicting an embarrassing moment for one of the team's assistant coaches. Now Kitna is getting some critisism about this joke. Kitna said he was just trying to have fun, but regrets the scrutiny the costumes created. "If I would've known this, I wouldn't have done it because I didn't want to try to bring attention to it," Kitna said Wednesday while surrounded by reporters and television cameras.
Defensive line coach Joe Cullen was arrested last year and pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and guilty to impaired driving after police said he was driving nude through a Wendy's drive-through lane, and a week later when they said he was driving under the influence of alcohol.
This costume is killer, but not in the OJ kind of way. It could have been worse. At least Kitna didn't dress up as Korey Stringer and his wife as a cold glass of water.

Moments To Remember- Why I'm Glad I Married a Primate
Has your child ever accomplished something that you were NEVER able to do as a kid? When I was young I was NEVER able to go across the monkey bars... I'm pretty sure I have T-Rex arms.
It's a good thing Hudson inherited Daddy's orangatang arms because he can now move all the way across the monkey bars... like he was born to do it.

Mathman's construction #1, the points on the circles determined by the 2
parallel radii will determine a line which is either parallel to the line thru
the centres - or not. (I assume those original radii are not on the line
connecting the centres) If the lines are parallel then the circles are the same
size & a common tangent is trivial. If they are not, then they intersect at some
point P and Mathman's procedure seems dandy.

u-he Zebra3 virtual synthesizer pricing announced
Urs Heckmann of u-he has announced some pricing details on the upcoming Zebra3 software synthesizer for Windows and Mac.
Actually, we've started to work on Zebra3, that's true. Because we're not Apple and we're too excited to keep it a secret, we came up with a devlish incentive to still get Zebra2:
- Price for Zebra2: 199$
- Price for Zebra3: 249$
- Upgrade V2->V3: 30$
- Upgrade from Zebra2 + The Dark Zebra: Free
So, hehe, it really makes a lot of sense to get Zebra2 first. For one thing it's cheaper to upgrade. And then, you have access to a few thousand presets in Zebra2 which may or may not be ported to Zebra3.
Just a note: While ZebraHZ (the "upgrade" coming with The Dark Zebra) has Diva's filters, Zebra3 won't have the exact same ones.
More facts once we know them.

nice… just bought zebra 2 + the dark zebra last night :-)
Well, it's a must purchase. Not that I have used Zebra since the very early days.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

when can you buy the new desing of x5?
did a SC pickup at performance center 1 year ago for our x5
fun trip will buy second once new design is available any specifics dates from bmw yet on introduction? my own x5 has been great suv in first year of use dd |
2013 are coming out now so more than a year away for the new body style, right?
My guess is March-April 2013 for the gas versions and late 2013 for the diesel.
EOP for petrol versions of the E70 is scheduled for July 2013, while for diesel vehicles it is set for November 2013. Expect somewhat of a delay between EOP and SOP of the F15 X5 for re-tooling.
Does anybody have the timing when the current version replaced the 2006 model? I am guessing that the timing might be the similar. My lease is up in mid-Feb and I have asked my sales guy about extending to wait for the 2014. I will pass on any information I get but I am not hopeful it will be any earlier than August of next year.

Realtor View: Tax incentives sweeten the deal for buyers
Published 11:21 am, Friday, August 8, 2014
Of the many advantages granted to homeowners, one of the most popular is the list of tax breaks they receive. As a new homeowner, you may be able to deduct some of the costs related to your purchase if you itemize your deductions rather than use the standard deduction when filing your taxes. These costs can include mortgage interest, real estate taxes and private mortgage insurance premiums you've paid.
While the IRS can best explain what you can and cannot deduct, your Realtor can answer your initial questions about tax incentives during your home buying process. Here's a closer look at some of the deductions that might apply to your situation.
If you took out a loan to purchase your home, you may be able to deduct from your taxable income the amount you paid in interest on your mortgage. This mortgage-interest deduction especially is valuable for new homeowners since the majority of your monthly mortgage payment will go toward paying the interest on your loan for the first few years. Your lender will send you a Form 1098 that lists how much you paid in interest.
Real estate taxes
If you paid real estate taxes assessed on your property to a local or state taxing authority such as a water district, city, county or school district, you may be able to deduct this cost. This information will also be on the Form 1098 from your lender.
If you made a down payment of less than 20 percent of the purchase price on your home, you are probably paying private mortgage insurance. But you may be able to deduct some of the money you paid for these PMI premiums, if you meet certain qualifications. This amount will be listed on the Form 1098 from your lender.
Keeping accurate records is important for properly reporting your deductions as a homeowner. The IRS recommends keeping your purchase contract and settlement papers and any paperwork such as receipts or canceled checks. Staying organized will save time when you sit down to file your taxes, and it's good to keep your paperwork handy in case you're audited.
Remember everyone's situation is different, so the best way to determine what will apply to you is by consulting a tax professional who can help you find out what items are deductible.

My husband has severe ADHD since early childhood (ignored or misdiagnosed all his life). Several months ago he made an appt. with his GP for next week. Chronic lying, avoidance, wrathful outbursts are becoming more and more frequent as he gets closer to the appt. date. There are times when I am truly afraid it will turn physical. I freely admit there are times when his "button pushing" pushes me over the edge and I yell at him. I DO NOT feel heard AT ALL. He has admitted his wrathful, blaming reaction as opposed to responding to our pastor at a marriage meeting. However, 2 minutes later, several days, a month, doesn't matter, his escapism is getting more and more frequent. I can try to have a calm discussion with him about his out of control impulsive spending or lack of attention to things only he can take care of in our relationship, such as certain financial issues and I cannot anymore, at all. He'll explode at a conversational topic I bring up and then 5 seconds later be playing a love song on his quitar outside. Escapism has become and art form right before my eyes in only a couple weeks time. Any feed back from anyone on how to get through this until true help comes from his appt. is appreciated. Don't have trust at this point he'll even share truths with his Dr. though.

Hi Anything,
Can you explain in more detail what happens during the anger outbursts? My ADHD wife has unbelievable outbursts, rage and total destruction when she explodes. A few days ago she exploded over nothing, I'm Italian, raised in an Italian family, the youngest of 4 boys and grew up in NJ & NYC...I hve never seen anything like it and it literally frightens me. It robs everyone of their normal emotions. When this happens we go days, weeks and now 2 months with disengagement. We have lost all forms of intimacy and can briefly talk. It's terrible and I don't get how my wife can maintain her silence and distance. I try to tippy toe around her defensiveness, her criticism which are daily and over the smallest things. I know she is under stress, long story with my step son, sh lost custody of him 2 years ago just as we were married and literally the day I moved in It hasn't been the same but we have had moments of incredible intimacy, the closeness, the affection etc. But after these tantrums, all is lost and I feel I have no leverage on getting things back on track. How do you cope?
Submitted by Mrs Secret on
I totally understand what you have to endure. It is not easy when your husband has anger issues. I am married for 14 years and we are separated right now. I just could not handle his anger outbursts about nothing. I was walking on eggshells, afrait when he would get angry again. He even started to try to persuate me that I do have a mental problem - because I take antidepressants just to cope... It was hell and although I do miss him I rather let go instead of ending sick myself.

My husband has had to come off of his medicine. We want nothing more than to have a child and the medicine was interfering with this. Its hard making it work. He's been really ill lately and has found more positive ways to cope. For instance the other night he went flounder gigging which requires tons of exercise and he came home refreshed. He used to handle anxiety by going to the bar and drinking. We had an episode last night. As trivial as it sounds, we cannot cook in the kitchen together. He turns into a total control freak and wants me out of his way. At one point he hurt my feelings and grabbed my arm and told me to get out of his kitchen. I admit that I know that he is aggravated by me being in there with him, but I get tired of walking on eggshells around his mood. I told him that this was an example of what we couldn't do when we have children. That must have hurt him b/c he automatically thinks that I am putting him down. Then he called me a name. I told him that name calling was not acceptable and he told me not to act that way. So, I told him that whenever he cooked a meal to not expect me to help. He agreed. It is so hard to spend an entire day together without arguing. How can I tell my husband that name calling is demeaning? I've even left our home before b/c of it and he still does it?
Submitted by MelissaOrlov on
You are right to stick up for yourself and not allow your husband to demean you. It sounds as if the name calling is part of his trying to establish his power in some way. It may also be that this is a communication pattern that he has seen much of growing up, and doesn't have too much exposure to other ways to communicate.
However, I would stay away from words like "not acceptable", which sound like you are a parent figure (i.e. authority figure) and may just throw fuel on his fire. Also, try not to get into "scold mode". "See, this is what you can't do when we have children" is, in fact, a criticism of his behavior (so he's right on this one). He's had way too many people telling him all of his life what he can, can't or shouldn't do. You don't want to become another one of them. That's the road to a terrible marriage, lots of discord, lots of fights, and bad sex. Next time you are feeling that you have an issue with his behavior, consider a different approach. If you can find one that succeeds for you, you'll be much less likely to throw him into "auto shut down" mode (which is triggered by behavior that reminds him of bad stuff that has happened in his past).
Your marriage needs to be morphed from one where the two people are trying to figure out who is going to be in control to one in which the two of you are figuring out how to respect each other's needs and ways of being. This can be really tough, particularly with someone who is as "touchy" as your husband sounds. But it is also a very common pattern in the first few years of marriage. You are together in courtship and it's one great exploration (fueled by all sorts of wonderful romance chemicals in your brains that help you overlook "reality"), then you get married and suddenly it changes to "who's in charge?" You don't want it to be this way, or even think about it, it just happens. You haven't changed as people, but your brains have changed (no more romance chemicals) and so the world seems very, very different.
There are a whole bunch of different ways to think about how to frame your lives and the work that you need to do in order to affect the change from competitors to partners. Steven Stosny and Patricia Love, authors of "How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It" would suggest that you need to understand the male's tendency to experience crippling shame and the female's quick movement towards fear of being alone. Their approach includes anticipating how things you say might trigger shame and fear responses in your partner, and having both partners sensitize themselves to how to be better together, even when they aren't talking. It's an interesting concept, particularly in that many with ADD experience elevated levels of shame about what they've gone through with ADD that make them move into shame mode pretty quickly. Or, there is Imago Marital Therapy, which tries to create a path of work that a couple does together to see change from competition through to a more mature love for who each person is. You would need a therapist to embark upon this. I'm a big fan of Stosny's earlier book "You Don't Have to TAke It Anymore" - where he talks a lot about getting out of the mode of walking on eggshells (a phrase I understand completely - been there, done that).
Whatever techniques you decide to explore, do pay attention to how he likes to communicate and "be". Remember that men feel better when they "solve stuff" and women feel better when they "talk about stuff". The two are very different, and often talking for talking's sake is like listening to a woman run her nails down a chalkboard for a guy. (Conversely, having a guy say "you should do X" and walk off, assuming everything has been solved, is intensely irritating to a woman who wants to explore what she is feeling...) So think about trying different modes of communication, times, places, duration...change things up and see what works, don't just assume that your way (or the woman's way) is the best way to communicate together (it's a two-way thing...so you have to experiment. What works best for both of you together ulitmately creates what works best for you since you can't solve any of these issues by yourself.)
You also have a treatment/medicinal issue - I assume that the antidepressants he was using were interfering with your sex life - a not uncommon side effect. But there are other options for treating ADHD and depression, so he should have a thorough talk with his doctor about his options on this one. If he continues to not want the meds, he should try a very regular exercise routine. This will a.) help his depression and b.) help his ADD and focus and c.) help his self image. Because you are having so many issues together, you might actually approach exercise as not only fun but medicinal. See if he would consider at least 30 minutes (or more) 5 days a week. You might even consider linking exercise with hot sex...as in find him in the shower on a regular basis when he is done...a good motivator for all! In all seriousness, exercise is a form of self-medication for people with ADD - it releases chemicals in the brain that are very calming and beneficial...drinking is another form of self-medication, but unlike exercise, has a large number of negatives, too.
My experience is that sometimes people with ADD do get into a control thing - trying to keep their lives organized can be hard, and so they "over organize". However, there must be a way that you can help him, or share the cooking experience with him, without being in his way. Is there a counter that you can sit at? Could you do some chopping for him? Hang out with a glass of wine or soda and just talk about whatever? I assume that he isn't in the kitchen every single night, so take his forays there as a gift, and see if there is a way that you can be involved without being considered an interference. If that doesn't work, take the time to go upstairs, hop into a warm bath and read a book or something...leaving him to do whatever he wants and getting pleasure from it while you also treat yourself to something special.

My wife who has ADHD, is on Vyvanse has major anger issues, we cant even talk. When I ask a question or want to talk about us and our lack of communication and lack of intimacy, just plain open up, she feels like I'm being offensive and she gets defensive. W have been off and on for 2 years, never really working on us. We try and talk just a little, in her case, as little about emotions as possible. It seems everything is more important and she brushes me away. Lately, my step sons father (she never married him) committed suicide. Our last discussion, or lack of, turned into me getting told to leave, not the first time. The issue is, I dont know what she;s going through. I'm shut out, she hates me, leave me alone mode, insults, threrats. My step son and I are fantastic together and before I left, going on 3 weeks, he and I were inseperable. What could be going on? Why would she do this? Not being rational, and she accuses me of being selfish. I cant imagine what my step son is thinking, first his dad and now me. My step son is 10 and he too is ADHD. How do I get through to her? I'm panicking that our lack of talking and seperation will drive this even further.

Anger for me was directed at my spouse because we had grown apart. We were becoming less intimate and denying me sexually / physically was the source of that. When I decided not to consider her a spouse, the anger quickly was reduced and again when I moved out of the bedroom. We've pulled back from the brink now.
I wouldn't say that ADD=anger for me.
Submitted by CheeseyPetal on
I know a few of you have commented to clarify that ADD and Anger issues don't go hand-in-hand. My partner discovered he had ADD after reading an article about anger management issues, which led him to read about ADD and everything just fell in place from there.
I've never experienced his anger. I've seen him angry, and I've seen how it escalates because he won't talk about it, so it builds and builds in his mind. But it's never been a real problem. However he's told me that it's a problem at work. Before he went on meds (dexamphetamine 6+ mos ago) he thought he was 'scanning' for reasons to angry. Any little thing he could take offense to, he would blow-up. He thinks that he was addicted to the thrill of the adrenaline rush and the uncertainty of how the other people/person would react. He sees himself as intimidating, though he doesn't want to be. I think he used to use intimidation as a way to feel respected (mostly by other males.)
So... now I'm a bit worried that the anger will start to show in a few years!
What would your advise be to yourself at a younger age, during your engagement? You hadn't yet experienced the anger first-hand, but you'd been told there was a problem. When it first started to emerge how would you handle it differently, knowing what you now know?
P.S. My partner doesn't like me to help him cook either - for some reason he wants to do it all himself! I've chopped veggies for him a couple times, but usually before he gets in the kitchen and does "his thing." Only ONCE did we work side-by-side and that was nice. We chatted. Most of the time it feels like he's a steamroller - he has no intuition about where I'm moving to and we bump into each other a lot. So, I'd rather get out of his way - especially when we're holding knives! Hehe I can see him: Puts his hands up (like he's explaining how big a fish is) looks at the stove/counter, takes a deep breath and says to me, "Ok. You go sit down and I'll let you know when it's ready."

I've been married to my ADHD (just recently diagnosed) husband for 13+ years and anger is not one of his problems either. He used to be extremely irritable, we had to walk around on eggshells to some degree, but this has gotten better since I told him (when we reconciled last December) that I couldn't live that way anymore and I didn't want our daughter to have to either. I told him "she cannot even be a kid without you ripping into her" and I can only conclude that he cared enough to see how hurtful it was because he's got far better control over this than ever. Of course our marriage is much happier and far less chaotic...so in general he's a much happier person and I suppose that makes all the difference in the world.
But anger, short fuse, screaming, yelling, name calling...none of these are part of my husband's personality.
Submitted by Tasla on
My guy hardly ever gets angry either, and he barely gets emotional unless I've gotten so irritated at something he's done/said that I snap in a mean way and hurt his feelings. He is not irritable, angry, snappy or anything like that, ever. So although many equate anger and ADD, it's not true for everyone.
I, however, have discovered a side of me I didn't know existed. He manages to push some buttons of mine and I have SCREAMED at him on a handful of occasions (just absolutely could not control my temper, and it never ever happened to me before) and also called him and idiot or stupid, which is something I never did with anyone before. So, apparently even previously calm and courteous people can become crazy when living with ADD.
Submitted by vabeachgal on
Yes, yes we can become angry living with these problems. I am almost never not angry after 14 years with my husband. I get that I shouldn't be angry or use condescending tones or speak to him as a child. I understand that. But... and this is a big but, do I really believe he would shape up and become more competent if I didn't do those things? No, I do not. Maybe this is the wrong way to look at it, but if I put in tremendous work (and it would take a lot) to work through the anger I feel toward him and competely change the way I interact, I believe two things would happen. First, I would expend a huge amount of time and energy that I could be using else for (2) no positive effect. I believe the surface interactions would be much better but I don't think it would correct any of his behavior. He stopped going to therapy and still makes almost no effort to use strategies to help himself.
So, yes, a previously calm and courteous person can become a raging lunatic when living with ADHD.

I have ADD and I do have a lot of anger from that, I'm passive aggressive and I get frustrated freakishly easily. Epically when someone close to me uses a parental tone or a superior tone when they tell me that I'm wrong on something. I've been on the meds and had to go off because the medication was intensifying my anger that I already have from having ADD. So in my experience anger and ADD do go hand in hand, it's just what will set an ADD person off to light the fuse...

Health Tip: Before the Babysitter Cares for Your Child
-- Before you choose a new babysitter or leave the sitter alone with your child for the first time, the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests you take the following precautions:
- Choose a sitter who has good references and has training in first aid and CPR.
- Make sure the sitter is mature, knows what to do in an emergency and is at least 13 years old.
- Give the sitter a tour of your home, and encourage the sitter to show up well before you need to leave.
- Provide instructions in the event of a fire, including offering detailed escape plans.
- Direct the sitter on how and when to feed, bathe and "tuck in" your child.
- Be sure that your sitter knows about any health conditions affecting your child, including any allergies.
- Inform your sitter of where you're going and when you'll be back.

The Blue Jays prospect struck out five over six innings and combined with Brandon Dorsett on a one-hitter as Bluefield blanked Princeton, 2-0, in the first game of a doubleheader.
Signed by Toronto as a non-drafted free agent in June 2011, Jensen (2-1) retired his first 11 before Andrew Toles singled with two outs in the fourth inning. An inning later, issued a one-out walk to John Alexander, who stole second and took third on a groundout but was stranded when Chad Nacapoy hit a dribbler in front of the plate.
"I was able to locate my fastball really well, and that really got me through the first three innings," Jensen said. "I really didn't need to throw my off-speed pitch until the second time around the lineup.
"I was able to go in and out really well and my defense was working really well; I got a lot of ground-ball outs. The guys behind me really backed me up."
The 22-year-old right-hander struggled in his previous start, surrendering seven runs on six hits over four innings on July 16 against Elizabethton. He credited a renewed focus on his fastball for the quick turnaround.
"My last start, I really tried to do too much," Jensen said. "The night before, I watched the hitters and they were really aggressive and I thought I could throw more off-speed ... and they hit me around. Tonight, I just stuck by what had made me successful, and that was keeping the ball down and locating my fastball."
Jensen lowered his ERA to 3.51 in six Appalachian League appearances. That's a huge improvement from his rookie season, when he posted an 11.12 ERA in four starts for Bluefield. That performance has proved to be the push the Pennsylvania native needed.
"Last year when I came to Bluefield, I struggled, and that really motivated me," Jensen said. "I want to pitch well and show the Blue Jays what I can do and get a Spring Training invite.
"I think I have to keep working hard and keep locating my fastball. If my fastball isn't working, they're just going to sit on off-speed all night and my whole game is gone. My whole game plan is to keep attacking hitters, staying aggressive, staying ahead and put them away."
Dorsett pitched a perfect seventh to record his first save.
Jacob Anderson hit a solo homer and Santiago Nessy contributed an RBI single for the Blue Jays, who lost the nightcap, 4-2.
Blake Snell, the Rays' No. 9 prospect, did not figure in the decision after allowing three hits over five shutout innings for Princeton.

Etienne De Crecy Live 2007 Transmusicales de Rennes from Clement bournat on Vimeo.
I have to extend the excitement for this Friday night @ Control, Etienne De Crecy throws a killer Dj set, so dont pout about the cube not being there, I'm sure the Avalon will make up for it with crazy things hanging from the ceiling. He did a dj set this summer at Cinespace and tore the little place up. Make sure you grab these tracks, especially his quicker-builder-upper, 'France' (aka Champaaagggnnnneeeee).

Viva...just for a night
Trip Start
Aug 26, 2011
Trip End
Sep 13, 2011
Where I stayed
What I did
We caught a cab, and got dropped off at Excalibur Hotel, the giant castle on the strip, where we would be spending the next 12 hours. We checked in, dumped our bags, cleaned up a little and hit the strip.
If you have been to Vegas before you will understand how the place has an energy to it. Everyone is going somewhere, off to see a show, to play the tables, for dinner, for dessert, for drinks, everyone scurries around to the next entertainment - and I LOVE IT! I have been three times, and I want to go back for more, I want to stay in a new hotel, they all have their gimmicks, and they are all geared to making money. Vegas is about excess, it IS the adult Disneyland, no holds barred, no apologies for who she is as a city.
So we decided to head to the Hard Rock Cafe (the one of the strip) for dinner, I had a great meal, and then we wandered up the strip to check out the Bellagio fountains, and to find a cocktail.
I have no idea where the time goes, but when we stopped and looked at the clock it was definitely past bedtime (since I was going to be up early and driving to the grand canyon the next day). So we headed back to the castle, drew the block out curtains and got some Zzz.

So what's going on with CCM?

The last time I saw big CCM presence on the field, or on forums (other than here or CC), Autocockers were still a fairly common in the tournament scene... The last "big" thing I remember was their frame for the SFT and that seemed like a last-ditch attempt at staying mainstream.
Anyhow, when they moved away from semi that really sealed the deal, but with the pump resurgence a few years ago mainstream players seemed to realize that their parts are great... then a little more recently that their markers are great. For the last year and a half I've seen CCM markers all over PBN, and it's been about 10 years since the last time it was like that.
I guess what I'm saying is when you're catering to a niche market you scale down production some - do it for a decade and you scale down everything... When suddenly the demand skyrockets it can take some time adjust.

Could someone please post pics of 275/40 on 18X9.5 FRPP 2000 Cobra R wheels, or 285/35 on the same wheel. Trying to make up my mind. I definitively wanna have all four tires the same but cant decide. It's gonna be between 275/40/18 BFG KDW or 285/35/18 Nitto 555 extreme. Thanks
here are my 275/35/18 Goodyear Eagle F1 DS-G3 on 18x9.5 ADR M-sport rims all 4 corners. I would think anything wider than 285 up front is too big. I even think my 275s are pushing it sometimes, they have a tendancy to want to follow the contures on the road.
Here are pictures of 285/35R18 Nitto NT 555s on the rear of a lowered GT. The fronts are 265/35R18 though. I'm not sure if I would go with as big as a 285/35 on the front though. The brand you buy matters a lot. I believe BFGs run a lot wider than Nittos.
i have 265/35/18 goodyear f1 gs-d3 on all 4 corners on 2000 cobra r's. i wish i would have went wider in the rear. maybe next time.
