Palladium Fantasy RPG®, 2nd Ed.
Heroes UnlimitedTM, 2nd Ed.
Ninjas & SuperspiesTM
After the Bomb®
"Source material" means O.C.C.s./R.C.C.s, fully fleshed out adventures, adventure ideas and settings, Hook, Line & Sinker TM adventures, Non-Player Characters (NPCs), villains, heroes, monsters, mutants, aliens, new magic spells, new superpowers, new psionic abilities, new robots and bionics, new weapons and vehicles, clarifications on existing spells and powers, clarifications on rules, optional variant rules, and indepth looks at particular O.C.C.s. Note: We will consider anything that's good and makes sense.
Articles, philosophies, tips and suggestions for Game Masters and players on running role-playing games.
Artwork of our various characters and worlds for publication.
If you already have "good stuff" on-line, send us an Internet/Web address with a note pointing out what we should look at for consideration in The Rifter®. Large works may be serialized in sections over two or more issues.
You must include a signed copy of Palladium's Unsolicited Manuscript Form with each submission. It can be mailed to you upon request or you can find it at the end of these guidelines.
A formal agreement will be sent to you if we like what we see and plan to use your work in an upcoming issue. Nothing will be published without a signed agreement.
{2jtab: Payment}
Palladium Books is doing The Rifter® as a fan forum and to spread the word about our games. In an attempt to give our fans an opportunity to share ideas, see their work in print, hone their writing skills, and to have fun, we are trying to keep the cost and labor as low as possible. Low cost means we can keep the cover price as low as possible. It also means we are paying dirt cheap prices to contributors. Note: Payments may change from time to time.
{2jtab: Writer "Flat Fee" Payment}
Roughly ten dollars ($10.00) per "printed" typeset page of text (that's roughly 2 to 2 1/2 single spaced computer pages at 10-11 point size; see, we're even too cheap and lazy to figure out a per word rate). A small bonusmay be paid to truly outstanding works if our budget allows it, and at Palladium Books Inc.'s sole discretion.
Articles and features written by two or more people will have to divide the flat payment between themselves. Palladium will send only one check to one person who represents the team or group.
All payments are made in US dollars.
Plus, each contributor will get three (3) copies of The Rifter® his work appears in and he/she/they will get credit as the author of said work. Additional copies of the book in which an artist or author's work appears may be purchased at a 50% discount, as long as supplies last (may go out of print).
Writer Payment for "Reprinting" the Work Elsewhere. If the work published in The Rifter® is later reprinted in a Palladium RPG sourcebook or other Palladium publication, we will try to pay the writer a small fee again, give him credit, and send him/her a free copy of the publication for his files. We say "try" because sometimes credit isn't possible or we lose touch with the person.
If a large contribution or a series of articles or several works by the same author are collected and reprinted by Palladium as an individual sourcebook all by itself, Palladium will pay that writer(s) our usual flat fee freelance payment for use in that publication (typically in the neighborhood of $1000-3,000 dollars, US funds). Again, Palladium cannot be responsible if the author moves without notifying us and we cannot find him/her/them easily.Note: This does not include additional press runs of The Rifter® in which the feature originally appeared.
In all cases this refers to works published by Palladium, which expressly and obviously incorporate actual work created by the Author and which profits are directly related to the Author's work. Not derivative works written entirely by a different person.
Historically, Palladium Books always tries to credit its writers, artists and contributors and will continue to do so under the current management. Likewise, we usually try to pay the author at least something, for each distinct and separate use in different publications (also historically, we don't do a lot of reprinting).
No payment for other uses in any medium. If a character, robot, weapon, place, idea, etc., is used in any other product: a miniature, toy, book, comic, film, computer game, etc., there is NO additional payment. Furthermore, in most cases, especially with mass market licenses, it is impossible to give the writer credit or a free sample.
No payment for use in advertisements. If an excerpt of text or artwork is used in an advertisement, poster, magazine, give-a-way, or any other means of promotion, no additional payment is due.
Payment is made roughly 30 days after publication.
{2jtab: Artist "Flat Fee" Payments}
High quality fan and near-professional quality artists will be used to help illustrate The Rifter® along with some new art from the usual Palladium artists and reprinted art.
Payment is abysmal, compared to our usual rates:
Roughly $10.00 for a quarter page illoe.
$25.00 for a half page illoe.
$50.00 for a full page illustration.
Artist Payment for "Reprinting" the Work Elsewhere. If the artwork published in The Rifter® is later reprinted in a Palladium RPG sourcebook or other Palladium publication, we will try to pay the artist no less than the original fee he/she received from The Rifter® for each use of his/her artwork, as well as give him credit, and send him/her a free copy of the publication for his files. We say "try" because sometimes credit isn't possible or we lose touch with the artist. Higher payment is left entirely to the discretion of Palladium Books Inc.
In all cases this refers to artwork published by Palladium, which expressly and obviously incorporate actual work created by the Artist and which profits are directly related to the Artist's work. Not derivative works such as an illustration of the same character by a different artist in a different pose.
No payment for other uses in any medium. If a character, robot, weapon, vehicle, design, logo, etc., is used in any other product: a miniature, toy, book, comic, film, computer game, etc., there is NO additional payment. Furthermore, in most cases, especially with mass market licenses, it is impossible to give the artist credit or a free sample.
No payment for use in advertisements. If an excerpt of text or artwork is used in an advertisement, poster, magazine, give-a-way, or any other means of promotion, no additional payment is due.
Payment is made roughly 30 days after publication.
{2jtab: Legal Stuff & Ownership}
This is a very blunt, no nonsense breakdown so there can be no confusion. If these terms, conditions and payments are unacceptable to you, then do not submit your work.
Palladium Books Inc. owns all published intellectual properties, including but not limited to articles, text, artwork, characters, world settings, adventures, etc. -- everything!
To preserve our intellectual property rights, Palladium Books must own all rights, lock, stock and barrel. Yes, that means in the future, Palladium could reprint, extrapolate upon, include in a larger published work, post on the Internet, or incorporate into books, comic books, films, toys, miniatures, computer games, artwork, posters, etc., something written by you and published in The Rifter® without your permission, knowledge or, in most cases, additional payment. Note: See Payment for details.
A formal agreement will be sent to you for your signature. It will include a statement in which you indicate your age. If under 18 years old, a parent or guardian must also sign the agreement. It's okay if you are under 18, provided a parent or guardian co-signs.
Feel free to consult an attorney, however, Palladium is not likely to change any of the language, terms or payment in the agreement. Sorry.
We can NOT publish conversion rules for other games.
We can NOT publish famous characters, weapons, vehicles, etc., from other places like Star Wars, Star Trek, superhero comics, films, books, other RPGs, etc.!
Any writing, art or ideas you send to Palladium must be original! It cannot use text or characters from TV shows, comics, films, books, other games or any other source. This must be your original work and you must legally swear to this when you sign our agreement. If you lied, and stole something from another source, you will be held liable and Palladium Books (not to mention the real owner of the material you stole) may sue you for copyright (and/or trademark) infringement and damages. So please, be honest, truthful and original.
Of course, since The Rifter® is a Palladium product based on Palladium's role-playing games, you can draw upon anything published by Palladium. However, be advised that such works are "derivative" and you cannot publish, print, post, sell or distribute them without Palladium's written permission (see our Internet policy and proper copyright notice required for use on-line. www.palladiumbooks.com).
{2jtab: Some Technical Stuff}
Format: This may sound nit-picky, but please follow Palladium's established formats for stat blocks, names/terms, abbreviations, use of underlines, etc. (look at our most recent books for reference). This really does save us time and makes my life easier.
Here are some notable examples: 1D6 with a capital "D" not 1d6, 4d6, etc.
Attacks per Melee or Attacks per Melee round, not "Actions."
When statting out magic or psionics it should say, Saving Throw, not "Save."
Write Player Character, not PC! This is a pet peeve of mine. To me a PC is a Personal Computer, not a "player character."
Please spell out the entire word for feet and inches, do not indicate "feet" with the symbol ' or abbreviation "ft," and inches with " or in.
Please try to include metric equivalents whenever possible. These should be placed in parenthesis, e.g.: 10 feet (3 m).
The basic metric formula is as follows:
Meters: 0.3048 m equals one foot, so multiplying feet by .3048 will give you the equivalent in meters.
Kilometers: 1.6 km (kilometers) equals one mile.
Kilograms: 0.45 kg (kilograms) equals one pound.
Tons: Yes there is a metric ton, but as far as I'm concerned, a ton is a ton -- no metrics required.
Please include all stats, like Rate of Fire, etc.
Please put the periods in things like O.C.C., R.C.C., P.P.E., I.S.P., I.Q., P.S. and other attributes.
Rail gun is two separate words.
Use your computer spell checker, if you have one.
Do not double space between sentences. Single space.
Do not double space between lines. Single space.
Do not do your manuscript in columns or in any special font or format. It will all be stripped out for typesetting!
Do put in bolds and underlines, especially in stat blocks, but please follow Palladium's format.
Headlines are bold, and upper and lower case, not all CAPS or underlined.
Try not to scatter O.C.C. descriptions and equipment descriptions throughout the book.
We use Word Perfect, Times New Roman, 10 pt.
Send a Disk (ideally World Perfect, though MS Word will do) with your submission on it and a printed copy of your submission, or if you're submitting something that's on the web for approval first when it's accepted we will need a disk with all of the HTML codes taken out.
{2jtab: Some Words of Adivce}
1. First and foremost, let your imagination cut loose and have fun! In some ways, writing an RPG supplement is just a more formal, written version of your preparations as a Game Master for one of your game sessions. Try not to be too self-conscious about your writing. This also means relax and be yourself. Don't try to be Hemingway or Stephen King, write naturally, cleanly and interestingly.
2. Remember, this is entertainment, so the writing should be lively and entertaining. I try to write in a conversational manner. Of course, everything shouldn't be bubbling with excitement, a stat block is a stat block.
3. Present your ideas in a clear, concise way -- from A to Z.
4. Please try to follow the existing history and continuity! Reread some of Palladium's past books in the product line you're writing for, and make sure the people, places, technology, magic, etc., fit.
5. Envision the "big picture." You have to consider the old with the new and how the new fits together with the past and existing items. Furthermore, stop to consider how it may impact the people who use it, their society, the manufacturer/seller, and outside factions like the Coalition States, ravaging monsters, rival kingdoms or businesses, and so on. For example, a big powerful, high-tech manufacturing city, or sprawling, densely populated community in North America is not likely to have escaped the scrutiny of the CS. What does the CS think about it/them? Is it a potential military target, have they approached the city to enlist it as an ally, is it earmarked for destruction, subversion, or subjugation like so many others? Or is it beneath the Coalition's notice, but if so, why and/or how?
6. Too much power is not a good thing. Look at some of our most recent books and gauge your stats accordingly. Keeping a balance is important. However, go with what you think or feel is appropriate. It is easy for me to reduce or increase stats as I think is best; it's not a big deal.
Well, those are the basics. If we haven't scared you away, and you're ready to give The Rifter® a try, contact us via E-Mail or conventional mail. Good Luck.

London: Manchester United's final Champions League group game ended in disappointment for the hosts as Sir Alex Ferguson's much-changed side fell to defeat to CFR Cluj.
With top spot in the group secured and the Manchester derby looming on Sunday, Sir Alex Ferguson unsurprisingly made wholesale changes to his team. David de Gea returned in goal whilst there were starts for Scott Wootton, Alexander Buttner and Nick Powell with Ryan Giggs captaining the side.
CFR Cluj, meanwhile, arrived at Old Trafford safe in the knowledge they could finish no lower than third in the group, and the Romanians comfortably held their own in a first half which saw chances for both sides but no goals.
Indeed the visitors had the best of the early openings. Midway through the first half Madou Sagou was put clean through on goal but was denied by a superb challenge from Wotton who slid in at the crucial moment to block his shot and force the corner.
Minutes later and the action switched to the other end as Tom Cleverley had an excellent chance to open the scoring. With Danny Welbeck closing down the Cluj defence and managing to nick the ball away, the possession switched to the midfielder but his heavy first touch allowed goalkeeper Mario Felgueiras the chance to come smartly off his line and block his shot.
With half-time looming, United improved and carved out another excellent opportunity. After Felgueiras had saved well from Welbeck and Rooney, United kept the momentum alive and found Smalling from a corner but he could not direct his header on target from close range as the first half ended goalless.
CFR Cluj began the second half in determined fashion and took the lead after just 10 minutes as United fell behind, as has been the case so often this season so far.
Substitute Paul Scholes, who replaced Cleverley at the end of the first half, gave the ball away which eventually fell to Luis Alberto. The midfielder was allowed to take a few touches before unleashing an unstoppable shot which flew into the top corner from fully 25 yards.
With United struggling to work Felgueiras in the CFR Cluj goal, Sir Alex brought Federico Macheda on for Nick Powell with 20 minutes remaining to add some attacking impetus.
Yet for all United`s efforts they found it tough going against a CFR Cluj side content to hold their lead. Felgueiras in the visitors` goal in particular was in commanding form, alive to any danger, and always quick off his line to deny any potential goalscoring opportunities.
Whilst the result mattered little to United, it did to CFR Cluj who despite recording a famous win at Old Trafford still exit the competition. A win for Galatasaray in Braga in the other game in the group, enough to relegate the Romanians to the Europa League.
Manchester United, meanwhile, head through as group winners but will now turn their attentions back to domestic matters and the small matter of a trip to Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City.

The goal of sustainable development is to enable all people throughout the world to satisfy their basic needs and enjoy a better quality of life without compromising the quality of life of future generations.
The Scottish Government has as its overall purpose to focus government and public services on creating a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable economic growth.
In December 2012, the United Nations University (UNU) confirmed that the University of Edinburgh-led bid for a UN Regional Centre of Expertise in Education for Sustainable Development to be established in Scotland had been successful.
Regional Centres of Expertise (RCEs) have been identified as a mechanism to encourage development and strengthening of sustainable development education practice across a defined region. Recognised through the UNU, an RCE is a network of formal, non-formal and informal education organisations, mobilised to deliver sustainable development education to local and regional communities. The RCE is a non-prescribed model, enabling a region to self-define and shape their RCE based on their needs. Scotland's RCE will be known as Learning for Sustainability Scotland.

Study design: Cross sectional study, descriptive survey was followed, as it allowed the researcher to observe and describe the factors that had contributed towards recurrent injuries, as well as a qualitative approach with open ended questions where participant's expressions encountered during the study, were analyzed. Population: The population of the study included all the medical team members in the PSL teams. PSL has 16 teams. The medical team comprised of any combination of the following members: the team doctor, physiotherapist, masseur, biokineticists, physical trainer, chiropractors and podiatrist. Not all teams have the same combination nor all disciplines mentioned. Sample: Purposive sampling method was used, as the researcher selected main participants with a specific purpose. Each of the PSL teams has 7 members from different disciplines therefore, all available members of the medical team of each PSL teams participated in the study. Data Analysis: Data was analyzed using SPPSS version 13.0.Data collected was loaded onto the statistica program for processing. Frequency tables for all variables are given to demonstrate the distribution of variables. Cross tabulation was also done to establish the relationship between the predictor variables and the response. The Test Statistic CHI-Squared (χ 2 ) was calculated and pvalue of less than 0.05 was determined for the significance. Frequency distribution tables, graphs, and charts were used to analyze the data collected. Content analysis was used for qualitative data. Results: Main findings of the study reflected that the ankle was the most commonly affected body part (69.2%) while the quadriceps and tendon achillies were both less commonly affected v (15.4%). The groin was found to incur most recurring injuries (69.2%). The results revealed that injured players are adequately managed by the medical team (61.5%). Attainment of pain free and full range of movement is the consideration for return to sport however less consideration was given to the persistent biomechanical abnormality. Conclusion: The study confirms that soccer injuries amongst Premier Soccer League (PSL) teams are managed by qualified professionals. The attainment of a free, full range of movement and adequate strength are used as criteria for return to sport and as a measure of preventing injury recurrence. Factors such as players missing out on rich rewards, recognition and regaining position in the team seem to have a great influence as well. Recommendation: The primary recommendation for the player who has had multiple recurrences is to address any underlying reversible risk factors such as poor strength and poor flexibility. A session needs to be held with soccer administrators to advocate the avoidance of factors contributing to recurrent injuries. Thesis (MSc (Physiotherapy))--University of Limpopo (Medunsa Campus), 2009 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Team managers' knowledge of the role of physiotherapy in South African Soccer Teams in the Premier Soccer League Motha, Sergant Given http://hdl.handle.net/10386/270 2017-11-16T10:03:08Z 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Team managers' knowledge of the role of physiotherapy in South African Soccer Teams in the Premier Soccer League Motha, Sergant Given Background information of the study: Physiotherapists play an important role in soccer teams. This role includes prevention of injury, treatment, education, and exercises. There is a dearth of information in some areas on the part of sports managers on the role of the physiotherapist in a team. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the knowledge of South African team managers on the role of the physiotherapist in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) teams. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to establish team managers' knowledge of the role of physiotherapists in the prevention and treatment of soccer injuries and evaluate their knowledge of the injuries managed by physiotherapists. Setting: PSL teams in South Africa Design: A descriptive survey design with a close-ended questionnaire was used in this study. Methodology: A quantitative research approach was employed in this study. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data set and a rating scale was used to determine the knowledge of team managers. Results: Out of the 16 teams in the PLS, 13 team managers participated in the study and their average knowledge was 79%. Five (38%) had administrative qualifications while eight (62%) did not include their qualifications. All 13 respondents indicated that warm up, cool down and stretching reduces the risk of injuries. Eleven (77%) reported that prophylactic strapping reduces risk of injuries. All participants agreed that physiotherapeutic treatment includes massage, electric machines and ice. They also mentioned that exercises can be done by the physiotherapist, though only three (23%) believed that the physiotherapist could conduct physical training. Conclusion: This study revealed that team managers have good knowledge of the role of the physiotherapist in soccer, with regard to prevention and treatment of injuries in sport.

The reasons for the increased rates of knee injuries in women soccer players are not clear, but some theories suggested the reason to lie in the difference in anatomy. This research investigate the prevalence of knee injuries in women soccer players in South Africa and sought to find out whether three of the anatomical factors (Q-angle, pelvic width and Intercondylar notch width) have a role in increasing knee injuries in these individuals. The study design was case –control study. Methodology: Twenty four players of South Africa women soccer team (Under 23) participated in this study. X-rays of the hip were taken and the Q-angles were thereafter measured manually. Association between anatomical factors and knee injuries were determined. The result of this study showed that 17% of the players were having non contact knee injuries. Statistical analysis showed no significant relation between knee injuries among women soccer players and each of the anatomical factors. The P-values of both t-test and ANOVA test were larger than the 0.05 level of significance. The study found that the prevalence of knee injuries among the young women playing for the South African national team U-23 was relatively high. However, this study could not identify significant relationship between the anatomical risk factors and the incidences of knee injuries among the participants.

Hello, dear readers:
I just wanted to stop in to say hello and to let you all know that, although I miss blogging, I've decided to extend my hiatus, indefinitely. I don't have a real explanation to offer, other than the fact that each time I get ready to jump back in, something pulls me back and says, "Not yet. WAIT."
I have continued to read and follow the rest of you, and have joyously celebrated in my heart whenever one of you has a genealogical "happy" moment. I've mourned for those of you who've experienced losses over the summer, and have been adding my prayers for those who've made requests (for themselves or for others). I've often wanted to leave comments on your posts, but because I've taken to doing most of my reading on my phone, I haven't been able to. Apparently, my phone is not "smart" enough to allow this.
Being the introspective person I am, I know that I must continue to reflect on my blogging experience, and to redesign some things about the way I do this work before I am ready to return, but return, I will. In the meantime, please know that I'm with you all in spirit, and I'll try to read from the computer more often, so that I can support you with my comments!
Many blessings,

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month, recognizing ice cream as a fun and nutritious food enjoyed by 90 percent of Americans. He urged the people of the United States to celebrate with "appropriate ceremonies and activities." Every year, in honor of National Ice Cream Month, Blue Bell Creameries, the third best-selling ice cream in the U.S., introduces a delectable, new ice cream flavor.
The "magic cookie bar" dessert debuted in the 1960s and now Blue Bell has put its own magical spin on the tasty treat. The recipe, in its simplest form, involves the layering of six ingredients. Melted butter and graham cracker crumbs are mixed to form a crust on the bottom of the pan. A can of sweetened condensed milk is poured over the crust and then chocolate chips, flaked or shredded coconut, and chopped walnuts or pecans are layered on top.
"Many adults today remember making magic cookie bars with their moms when they were children," comments Paul Kruse, CEO and president of Blue Bell Creameries. "Our Magic Cookie Bar Ice Cream will be a walk down memory lane for some Blue Bell fans, and a new delicious flavor for others. Either way, it is part of an American taste tradition not to be missed!"

Hello Everybody, I'm Papa's Cub, S.E. Ga.
As a young boy growing up the first tractor I remember was a 600 Ford, a few years later a 640 Ford and finally a 3000 diesel. I never could understand why some folks farmed with one of those one row Farmalls. Years later I married a girl whose Dad owned a 140 and a cub. Although He didn't farm per-se, every spring He would plant about a 10 acre garden and invite both family and community to share in the bounty. He would prepare the ground with the 140 and plant with the cub. Years later he acquired another 140 and announced he was going to retire his old cub. At first I wasn't interested, this little tractor was beat-up, greasy, rusty, had some knocks in the motor and smoked badly. Well, for $500.00 I bought my first cub (1950) w/cultivators and woods mower. At the time I ran an autobody shop and wanted to try to restore this old tractor. About 6 weeks later it emerged with an engine overhaul, an alternator and 12 v. system, lights, brakes,new paint and decals. It looked better than great. I even repainted the mower. A few weeks later even Papa couldn't recognize the cub he had owned for over 30 yrs. I still have my Dad's old 3000 and continue to use it for ground preparation, but I always plant and cultivate with the cub. I mowed grass and gardened with this cub for 25 more yrs before I retired it. A few months ago a friend from a neighboring town called and said he had purchased a 1966 cub at an auction and had decided to sell it, so he delivered it to me. This cub has a new battery and no dents in the hood. Everything else is bent or worn out or missing. I'm thinking this cub was never on a farm, perhaps it was used commercially. Well I no longer have the autobody shop or the mechanics but I intend to try to restore this cub with the help of this forum. So far I've bolted on an alternator and installed a kit in the hydraulic pump. Thanks in advance, Tom.

Welcome to the group Tom. There is a great CubFest in Gillsville Georgia this Friday and Saturday. It's a great chance to meet many of the members of this forum and have a great time working on your Cub or just learning more about them. Come on up if you can. http://home.comcast.net/~whitingr/site/?/home/
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Asian soybean rust frequently appears as "hot spots" in soybean fields and can be controlled if found and treated quickly, according to a researcher at a large grower-funded research organization in Parana, Brazil.
But finding such hot spots is not often easy. So the best strategy for the disease for Brazilian growers is to time preventive sprays based on advisories from sentinel programs that track its movement geographically, according to Olavo Correa da Silva, plant pathologist at Fundacao ABC.
Da Silva spoke to a group of U.S. agriculture journalists touring southern Brazil in March. He jokingly welcomed the United States to a dubious international club — countries where Asian soybean rust is active. Rust entered Brazil in 2002 and was discovered in the United States in 2004.
The United States and Brazil also share something else with the disease, according to the researcher. Both have endemic and epidemic outbreaks of the disease.
Endemic areas are where the disease can survive year-round and include northern Brazil and the coastal areas of south Louisiana and Florida, according to da Silva.
Epidemic areas include southern Brazil as well as areas that are north of coastal south Louisiana and Florida. The disease may not always be a problem in epidemic areas. In these areas, environmental conditions may be too harsh for the disease to survive during the winter.
Da Silva said that volunteer soybeans are the primary over-wintering host for Asian rust in Brazil. "We have maps that show which soybean-producing regions of Brazil have environmental conditions in which mature volunteer soybeans can survive."
The researcher said that many Brazilian soybean producers failed to take the disease seriously when it first entered the country, "because they didn't have many losses."
However, in 2003-04, most farmers in Brazil "got the fear" of the disease, after widespread heavy rainfall, according to da Silva. "Five million tons of soybeans were lost to soybean rust. Many farmers didn't believe the disease would be that severe. Most farmers are now vigilant about making a first rust application."
Da Silva said a study conducted by the cooperative indicated the first fungicide application against rust provided about 90 percent of the benefit from using fungicides.
"The earlier you spray against rust, the better. The machinery must be in good shape to deliver the product to the canopy. Rust develops from the bottom to the top. So you have to wet all the leaves, especially down at the bottom."
Farmers who find hot spots in their fields can control Asian rust, according to da Silva. "Fungicides work very well until there is 5 percent damage in the lower half of the plant. How well it works after that depends on how much latent disease there is in the plant."
When spraying after rust has entered a field, farmers must have a system for finding hot spots, he said. That is usually a matter of intensive scouting, or luck.
Preventive sprays are the way to go for Albertino Perez, an agronomist and farm manager for Henrique and Anselmo Alberti's farm in Tibagi County.
"In some cases, rust is not that difficult a disease to control. But you have to control it preventively. If not, you can lose money very rapidly. It's better than waiting for rust to appear."
The family's six farms include 7,090 hectares (17,512 acres) of no-till crops and 7,000 hectares (17,290 acres) of cattle. Summer crops include soybeans, corn and sometimes dry beans. Soybeans comprise around 70 percent of the farm's summer planting, with corn making up the rest.
A country-wide sentinel program — Syngenta's Syntinela — has helped him manage the problem. "They tell me how much to spray and when to spray. I can also estimate how much I will spend." He also plants small plots of 5 to 10 hectares (12 acres to 24 acres) earlier than his other soybeans as a localized sentinel program to help him track the disease.
One thing helping soybean farmers in southern Brazil is that many already make fungicide applications directed at a number of diseases. "We must not forget about cercospora and septoria," Perez said. "You can have losses to these diseases, too. Prior to rust, if a farmer did not take care of his crop against the other diseases, losses could be as high as 400 kilograms per hectare (6 bushels per acre). These are heavy losses."
When soybeans start blooming, Perez's agronomist runs the fields more frequently, even daily, looking for diseases.
Perez has sprayed most of his soybeans once this year for the disease, some twice, using a combination of triazoles and strobilurins.
Another key is to watch the weather. "If you have a drought, you don't have to monitor as closely as you have to during rainy periods."
Fundacao ABC has eight weather stations that monitor conditions favorable to rust and has developed a model to predict when and where the conditions might occur.
Even non-Portuguese-speaking journalists understood Perez' double-entendre response to the question, "What advice would you give to U.S. farmers for control of soybean rust?" Aware of the fierce competition between the United States and Brazil in soybean trade, he said, "Nao planto soja," or "Don't plant soybeans."

I'm classifying my old mountain bike as a hybrid because I have converted into a commuter and foul weather road bike.

As well you should. My Diamondback Outlook started life as a rigid-frame mountain bike, but with less than $100 worth of work it's a quick flat-bar bike with smooth tires and an upright-ish seating position. It's at home on the pavement but will handle grass and dirt just fine. It would suck for real mountain bike trails, though. I call it a hybrid as well.

Just the Facts: It's a Locking-People-Up Problem
The American problem with mass incarceration is less about crime than it is about how—and who—we lock up.
The crime rate has been dropping for 15 years. But the majority of people believe it goes up every year.
In the past 30 years, the number of people in the penal system increased much more rapidly than the population.
The United States imprisons more people than any other country.
And we don't imprison fairly, especially when it comes to drug laws.
Fixing the prison problem could solve our money problems.

Confronting daunting challenges to justice & security in the Arab region | Sima Bahous, Jordan Ryan
24 Sep 2012
Just over a year ago, the Arab region began to witness unprecedented change, with several countries embarking on transitions towards more democratic governance.
Strengthening the rule of law is a central challenge facing these countries. Expectations of citizens for accountable security institutions, impartial justice systems and the fulfillment of human rights are higher now than ever before.
Recently, we met with two officials at the forefront of dealing with this challenge: Kamal Bashar Idhan, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Libya, tasked with ensuring that justice is delivered and human rights are upheld for all Libyans; and Said Mechichi, Secretary of State for Reform in the Tunisian Ministry of Interior who leads efforts on security sector reform in the country which triggered the Arab region's wave of change.
The challenges facing these two officials and the institutions they lead are daunting. Strengthening the rule of law in transition settings is one of the most difficult aspects of change. But it is also among the most important, and we were inspired by their commitment.
UNDP has worked closely with countries in the Arab region — including Libya and Tunisia — to support their democratic transitions and national-led efforts to re-establish justice and security, deploying our expertise gained in support to transitions in several other regions, while responsive to local needs through our presence, consultative process, and commitment to national ownership.
Next week the international community will have a chance to reflect on the challenges facing not only countries like Libya and Tunisia, but indeed all countries around the world which seek to deepen this most crucial pillar of development and human rights. Coming together in New York at the first-ever High-Level Meeting of the General Assembly on the Rule of Law on 24 September, Member States will take stock of many perspectives and seek to galvanize collective efforts to strengthen the rule of law at the national and international levels.
In UNDP's participation at this ground-breaking meeting, we will underscore the challenges that countries face in deepening the rule of law and delivering on human rights. But we will also be inspired by the dedication of public servants like the ones we met recently from Libya and Tunisia. Dedicated counterparts such as these will continue to enjoy the unwavering support of UNDP as they advance in their efforts to strengthen the rule of law and deliver on the promise of democratic transition.
Talk to us: What can new Arab governments do to provide effective and accountable security services and justice systems?

Welcome back fans of Latin roots as they relate to English vocabulary words! Recently I have been focusing this SAT and GRE English vocabulary blog on analyzing the Greek and Latin root words of titles of great English and world literature, and then discussing why those great works are nonpareil. I am currently perusing Patanjali's great work concerning yoga, the Yoga-Sutra, translated by Chip Hartranft. I have found the aphoristic style of the Yoga-Sutra to be not only engaging, but also deeply profound; in it, Patanjali discusses the considerable spiritual, mental, and physical rewards that one can derive from the practice of yoga, which is much, much more than the usually held western conception of yoga as just the asanas, or physical postures/poses.
The purpose behind yoga, according to Patanjali, is seeing things as they really are, not as our minds construct them to be; to do this, the ultimate goal or teleology of yogic practice is to cease the fluctuations of the mind, to calm the sem, that part of our minds that generates an annoying 60,000 random thoughts per day, and can lead us down paths of irreality. This calming of the mind's thoughts causes suffering to cease, the ultimate goal of what yoga can do for us.
During the next three years, I will devote myself to writing about each of Patanjali's aphorisms, sequentially, contained in his remarkable 2nd-century BCE text, with a focus on analyzing the text in terms of its classical Greek and Latin roots of the fine English translation, and then providing an individual's exegesis of the text itself, based upon my own wonderful experience with yoga beyond the asanas. It has been said that memorizing the Sanskrit text of the Yoga-Sutra in and of itself can re-pattern the mind; I am most curious to see if this phenomenon is also metalinguistic, that is, can English and its root words via Greek and Latin effect the same transformation? Last week I focused on the Latin roots of the Yoga-Sutra: Chapter 1: Aphorism 11. This week I move on to: Aphorism 12: Both practice and nonreaction are required to still the patterning of consciousness.
Let's first discuss the Greek and Latin roots of five words in aphorism 12:
Practice: via the Greek root prassein: to make, do, or achieve (morphemes from various principal parts of this verb include: pract and prax). Hence, practice is "doing," "making," or "achieving." Other SAT and GRE level vocabulary words include: pragmatic (via pragma: deed, act); malpractice; practitioner; praxis; and impractical.
Nonreaction: via the Latin root words non: "not;" the prefix re-: "back, again;" act: from ago, agere, egi, actum: do, drive; and the suffix -ion "act, state, or result of doing something." So, etymologically, "nonreaction" is "the state of not doing (something) back." Of these root words, hundreds of English words are derived from ago, agere, egi, actum; some SAT and GRE words include: exacting, ambiguous, prodigal, mitigate, exigent, and exiguous. Wanting more? Check out the most comprehensive Greek and Latin roots dictionary available today.
Required: via the Latin root word quaero, quaerere, quaesivi, quaesitum: search, seek for, inquire, and Latin preposition re-: "back, again." If something is "required," it is "sought for again," that is, one must have that "requirement" to move forward. Other SAT and GRE vocabulary words that come via this root are: inquisitive, query, inquisition, requisite, perquisite, and disquisition.
Patterning: The word "pattern" comes from the Latin root pater, patris: father. Just as a "father" or pater contributes to children via his genetic pattern, so too are patterns progenitors of forms. Patterning in the conscious mind becomes the "father" of action or thought; early patterns that are formed in the mind lead to children of restricted thought. Many SAT-level English vocabulary words arise from the Latin root word pater, patris, including but not limited to: patriarch, paternity, expatriate, patron, patronize, patronizing, patronage, perpetrate, and patricide.
Consciousness: The word "consciousness" arises via the Latin prefix "con" which comes from the Latin preposition "cum," which in this case acts as an intensive, meaning "thoroughly," and the Latin verb scio, scire, "to know." It is one's "consciousness" that allows one to "thoroughly know" the world around one, making one aware that one is not only alive, but that much, apparently, surrounds one in this world; a whirling vortex of samsara which leads to the kleshas, or afflictions. Other SAT-level derivatives that derive from the Latin verb scio, scire include: conscientious, omniscient, prescient, conscionable, unconscionable, nicety, and plebiscite.
Now, let's take a look at aphorism 12: Both practice and nonreaction are required to still the patterning of consciousness.
When one speaks of stilling the patterning of consciousness, one primarily means to cease the fluctuations of the mind that perceives its own reality, which has very little to do with reality. To do that, one must practice, or do those things which help cease that seemingly never-ending flow of sem, the flea mind, which distracts us all from what is. Patanjali begins to discuss that "practice," or what one can do, to still that mind, which reveals an entire Universe within that is completely veiled or hidden. From what I've seen thus far, it's epiphanic. Truly immanence, the indwelling divinity, is infinite.
Let's discuss "nonreaction." Many of the problems in our lives arise not from our surroundings or other people or the vicissitudes of our lives, but simply in our reaction to them. I can respond very negatively to criticism from a co-worker; I can stew about it all day, into the night, not sleep, ignore that person the next day at work, plot vengeance, complain about him or her to my family (thus embroiling them as well), and generally make myself miserable. The sem is trying to gain dominance at this point, and it loves the free flow of angst it creates; the sem is most alive and powerful at that point. How to stop this self-defeating thought, this fluctuation that so flummoxes?
I must ask: "Where is that criticism now? Does it exist? Show me that criticism. Can I hold it? What color is it? What properties does it possess?" We will see that indeed the criticism is, in fact, nowhere, but is simply being illusorily perpetrated by our minds; it exists nowhere tangibly, and the person who did the criticizing might not even remember doing so, or worse yet, it could be a misinterpretation of what that person said that is causing all the brouhaha, simply a misunderstanding!
One might also try labeling that thought: "I'm having a thought about that criticism again." Labeling it destroys it. After 20, 30, even 40 labelings it will not arise anymore. Try this with a negative thought that arises today. Hmmm ... let's see ... "I thought that person was my friend ... why was she so mean today?" To stop the inevitable further mind analysis of that thought, stop it short by labeling it: "Having a thought that that person was my friend ..." And it shall evanish, like the vaporous thing it is (or, really, is not).
Multisensory perception: One could also realize that the co-worker's criticism isn't about you, buit really is all about her or him. Often words will bubble up from a person which have nothing to do with the person to whom they are being said, but rather are all about the person who is saying them. Rex could be having a horrible day (or a horrible life, for that matter); words, metamorphosed to reflect Rex's reality, lash out, hurting others, when really they are nothing but an oblique conduit for his own hurt. We may still be hurt by those denigrating words, but realizing the provenance of the bilious words should put an end to their effectiveness.
The sem loves drama. It loves to think, think, think, and stress, stress, stress. This flea mind will take every opportunity to do so ... don't let it. The Witness, or supraconsciousness, can watch, and not react. Tough, but yoga provides the key. The golden key to the Door of Infinity.
You may know what is bothering you today, what is stressing you out, but do you remember what was doing so last week? A month ago? Of course not ... all of these so-called afflictions (kleshas) created by the mind are merely inflections of the same thing ... the sem's Will to Power (to use a nice Nietzschean term). Anything will do, any magnification is welcome ... at base, however, it's naught but whimsical, nebulous creations that are neither here nor there. Will 'o wisps wandering about, insubstantial.
*Yoga Book Corner* A very fine exegesis of Patanjali's Yoga-Sutras is the exhaustive and comprehensive study by Edwin G. Bryant. This amazing book is a compilation of old and new explicative material concerning these dense, aphoristic sutras. They are well worth the time and effort to digest, and Bryant does a superb job of just that.

episode 4
About this creation
Once the demigods were a powerful empire. Few could best us in combat none could out think our stratagist. We populated the worldwherever the heart of the west was. As the heart moved from greece to Rome to the Vikings to Germany and So forth. Each transfer we got stronger untill America. America is a useless nation. To many wars started and diminished the demigod population. In our zenith we could out fight any army. Now as we defend our borders which are far smaller than our ancestors we barely have enough men to hold the borders of Camp Half Blood.(at this point Jason rides into sight) The time of the demigod has fallen. The time of future has begun.
Josh closes his laptop as Jason dismounts.
Jason: Josh do you have enough men to hold this position.
Josh: No but i will hold this position to the last.
Jason: I can send you m...
Josh: NO!.. no you can not Chiron gave us an order and we cannot break it.
Jason: Very well Brother.... I am sorry we never got along. I fear i will not survive this encounter.
Josh: Farewell Brother. I will Hold. Like my fathers of the Samurai(i am part japanese) before me like the spartans at the pass of Thermopalye (did i spell this right?) I will fight to my last breath my men to there last man.
Jason: See you in Hades brother.
Josh: May we be called great for our deeds today brother.
Jason rides off.
Josh and Bailey walk in front of the troops.
Josh: Alright demigods. We must hold this position. It will be hard. Many of us may die. But this is a sacrifice we all must make some day. Chiron is old. He believes we still have the strength to repell all attacks so they will try to outflank us on the the left or right. But he is wrong. They have the numbers we don't. They will attack at the weakest point in our line which is HERE!
Josh's forces relize what he means and start talking.
Josh: SILENCE!! They will keep coming and coming harder and harder. We cannot run. We will not run. We will fight... TO THE LAST!
The campers start cheering.
Josh whispers to Bailey: We will not win this fight.
A speeder pulls up.
Guy in speeder: Greetings demigods I am General Beck.
Surrender or die.
Josh: Your death will please us very much.
General: Very well ATTACK.
A huge force charged into view. Ugly ferocios beast.
Josh: Hold your ground for all that is dear to you.
They horde forerunners hit the wall at a amazing speed they jumped up ready to kill...
They were met by the brave demigods.

Cool... a bit of advice: try putting the camera on a tri-pod or something so you don't get blurry pics... but otherwise, awesome!

Well, this wasn't bad. It seems that there is usually a little more ecchi in the first episode of a series, for some obscure reason. Even "Boys Be" had a long closeup of Chiharu's wiggling butt, not to mention that after the first episode of "Narue no Sekai" I was ready to rename it "Narue no Pantsu". If it fades as quickly here, I won't mind. And I agree, there were a lot of places where they could have shown a lot instead of just hinting, and they didn't. So it isn't all that ecchi unless your imagination runs away with you. ^_^
I suspect that, much like with Narue no Sekai, the boy is mostly to get the thing started. The girl, Miharu, will probably be the main character for most of the series.
Having the boy sound like a girl, however, was detestable. I can't imagine why.

Ya know, I decided to watch episode 1 for the heck of it, just to see what it was like and make a decision on whether or not to follow this series off that, and I have to say that I was wrong. I initially was turned off by the suggestion that this series was mega enchi. Actually, surprisingly, it's not. It's got enchi, that much is true, but not so much as to kill it. It's actually quite an enjoyable show. This one has my two thumbs up! Plus I laughed plenty hard plenty of times, so that's also a huge plus. The concept of the show is interesting too. Kinda mabaraho'ish in a way, but I think the studio did a better job of this one....at least so far.

Sigh, another series in my "to collect" pile (got way to much to download/left to watch already).
I'm pretty much a sucker when it comes to anime with cute girls, so this wasn't a surprising reaction.
Interestingly, this is the 4th manga from the only Shounen Ace "phonebook" I got (August 2001 issue)
to be animated -- others from the same issue are Angelic Layer, Narue no Sekai and Kerero Gunso.
As for yet again a cute role for Ayako Kawasumi -- I don't mind, as long as she doesn't get
"type-casted" forever. Personally my favorite roles she has played are that of semi-emotionless princesses
with attitude -- mainly Lafiel from Crest/Banner of the Stars, but also Erumina from Puchi Puri Yuushi.
(which is quite the opposite of her "usual" roles).
I also recognized the main male lead as being voiced by the same actress who did Hatsuki in Yami
to Boushi to Hon to Tabibito. Since Hatsuki was a bit of a tomboy (in terms of attitude), this role
isn't to surprising though.

Same here, I was turned off by that as well, but I decided to watch it anyways, since I liked the character designs, and I was very pleasantly surprised.
I'll be watching this, and I'd definately recommend it.

Thumbs Down
I just watched it and I was totally unimpressed. 0 points for originality. 0 points for main character. You know what this series reminds me of? Eiken. Did you see all the huge bouncing boobs when they were running? Plus no offense to anyone, but I think the female lead character is a ditz and an airhead. Yeah she's cute, but its like she has no personality at all (much like Eiken). And don't get me started on the male lead character. I know this anime falls into the 'wussy man suddenly enveloped by many beautiful young women' genre, but he is BY FAR the most pathetic wuss I could have ever not hoped for. He's short so he gets picked on by girls and then he becomes ALERGIC to them? Seriously, wtf wtf wtf. Who cares if you're short, be at least some resemblence of a man and stand up to those bitches that pick on you! I didn't even find the comedy in this episode humorous because its like I've seen it a million times.
I'm sorry to say I won't be downloading another episode of this. Cute girls can't replace a plot and good character IMO.

Well, I haven't seen the other anime that this one is supposedly a copy of. So I look forward to watching it. I don't really expect the plot to be visible after one episode. This was just enough to establish the cultural frame the two main characters live in.
I am not sure why so many male characters in humorous anime are such sissies. Perhaps in Japanese society men are more assertive and women more submissive, and so they enjoy reversing the roles for entertainment?

Dammn right!
But to voice out my opinion i was abit disappointed in the lack of extra ecchi-ness....but thankfully i have a good tolerance for non-ecchi anime, which is probably why i can enjoy and watch a large range of anime series unlike those people who have a low resistance against ecchi (you pooooor souls, unable to watch some of the funnest animes around.... )
But it was great, i enjoyed the first episode, the only other annoying thing beside the lack of ecchi scene, is the sutitution of the blood with brown blood...that just reeeaaallly piss me off... DON'T MESS WITH THE COMICAL SACRED PERSUDO-ORGASM!!!
It's RED! LEAVE IT REEEEEED!!!!
and i now hate steam, stupid, rediculously thick steam...i want Yukari to install a fan into his bathroom, you need good circulation of air when you have a bath you know!!

you say that, but it isn't 100% certain.
If the company who is licencing it, isn't clear in announcing it, i think it's their fault.
If your not certain, i think it's find to inform people were to get it, when you are 100% certain then i gree you should stop distro'ing it.

This anime was borderline hentai while this one didn't have that much ecchi IMO.
I didn't notice anything much ecchi than in most ecchi animes, so it's not that bad

I beg to differ, it wasn't that good either.
I mean if you want to put nose-spurting you could at leased leave it red, and get rid of the steam because its oscuring the creators wonderful art.
True, ecchi is just topping to make the show more interesting to watch, but when a certain situation requires ecchi-ness at llease make it proper ecchi.
Don't hover half-way, if you have a ecchi scene don't censor it, just don't put it in.
Like wise, if you want to make it Ecchi comedy, put ecchi-ness in it! Ecchi-ness is what makes it funny.
I thought Maburaho is a great anime, it had just the right ammount of ecchiness for that perticular plotline.
This one, only time will tell.
Seriously im kinda amazed people complain about series with too much ecchi-ness.
I mean if you don't like Ecchi-ness don't watch it, only people who like ecchi-comedy like's it.
Go watch some other anime comedy show that is ecchi-less like... "Azmanga Daioh" or something else.

In this anime, most of the ecchi is in the head of those who watch. ^_^* The nudity is just out of sight, in time or space. It can easily be imagined by those who have seen such things.
Breasts actually move about when people run, at least with European sized breasts. (I understand that Japanese generally are more streamlined.) I did not even notice till it was pointed out.
What I don't like about this anime is the way they treat the boy. But perhaps it is really such things a true otaku can identify with ... being weak and girlish and being beat up for no reason. It reminds me of "Love Hina" as much as Maburaho. I have not seen the ending of those two.

There isn't that much ecchi in this anime IMO, I've seen worse and it's all in the viewer mind
I personally didn't notice neither the 'breasts bouncing' until it was pointed out neither
A bit offtopic, but it would be the same for my current signature : if you are somewhat too much perverted, you won't get the fact that what's on her nose is soap ^_^

Microsoft Lync Server 2013 is designed to take your business' collaboration environment to the next level. Lynx Communication software connects your employees through features such as: conferencing, presence, and instant messaging at the enterprise level. Lynx can function on either a traditional telephone line connection or a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Trunk provider. However, SIP Trunking is a next-generation communication platform, which is superior to traditional telephone lines as it provides a scalable voice solution that can be adjusted to meet your individual business needs. Further, SIP Trunking simplifies administration of your network and will save you money on your telecom budget by assuring the solution is tailored to current telephone system needs with up-to-date enhancements to real-time communications. Carolina Digital offers premier SIP Trunk service for Microsoft Lync that provides a low-cost, high-quality option for Lync servers to connect with Carolina Digital SIP Trunking service. SIP trunking is a large improvement over its predecessor, time division multiplexing (TDM) trunking, as it allows you to consolidate your organization's connections to a central site whereas TDM trunking requires multiple trunks from each branch site. Additionally, SIP trunking provides substantial cost savings. Long-distance calls are cheaper when placed through a SIP trunk. Telephone system deployment complexity is reduced, eliminating PSTN gateways as well as their management and associated maintenance costs. While TDM trunking service providers charge for calls per minute, SIP trunking costs are based on bandwidth, which is more easily tailored to the economical increments that make the most sense for your business. In order to employ your SIP trunking for Lync, your connection must be routed through a mediation server that transcodes media as necessary. This mediation server acts as a proxy between Microsoft's Lync Server 2013 clients and the service provider. Mediation servers have both an internal and external network interface with the internal interface connecting to the front end servers and the external interface connecting the mediation server to either a public switched telephone network gateway or IP-PBX system. With SIP trunking, the external interface is connected to the ITSP's external edge.
Please see our home page at www.carolinadigital.net for more details on our SIP trunking service for Microsoft Lync Server 2013.In Greensboro you can get a VoIP based Hosted PBX Internet telephone service that is state-of-the-art technology for your business. Our hosted PBX VoIP (Voice over internet protocol) internet phone services allows you to keep your local Greensboro number. And new numbers anywhere in North Carolina are available for immediate activation. Ready to expand to a new market? You can quickly get a telephone number in New York City, Atlanta, Los Angeles or even London, England for just a few dollars a month that will ring directly to your business in Greensboro.

Lipscomb athletics has been working to make parking simple for our basketball fans. For each men's game this season, at least two shuttles will be running from the David Lipscomb Campus School football field to the front doors of Allen Arena. The shuttles will start an hour prior to each men's game and run until all fans are returned to their cars after the game.
As night classes continue to grow in size at Lipscomb, there are fewer parking spots on the campus than ever before. Fans are encouraged to proceed directly to the football field for a pain-free parking experience.
National Bison Club members at the $1,200 giving level and those needing handicap parking will still have preferred parking privileges in the Allen Arena East Garage.

Vets should back Dotterrer
I would like to encourage veterans to vote for Dave Dotterrer for Oregon state senator.
When it comes to veterans, he knows the issues and is sympathetic to the current state of affairs.
Mr. Dotterrer, when not knocking on doors, comes to the Veterans Breakfast every Wednesday at Punky's Diner in Medford, to show support and listen to the men and women who served with current and ongoing issues.
Mr. Dotterrer is a caring person and a family man who will work hard for veterans, and the people of Oregon, as state senator.

CAROL STREAM – Normally a man of varied interests, the Rev. Greg Moser has one main hobby right now: moving out of one house and into another.
Moser became pastor of Lutheran Church of the Master in Carol Stream in March. He previously served as pastor of United in Faith Lutheran Church on Chicago's North Side and lived in Palatine.
"We thought we were going to live here in Carol Stream," Moser said about accepting the new position.
His wife, the Rev. Jennifer Fisher, held the position of associate pastor of Living Lord Lutheran Church in Bartlett, and the proximity of the two towns would have made settling into the region easier for the couple, Moser said.
But then his wife accepted a position as pastor of Ascension Lutheran Church in Riverside at about the same time he started serving in Carol Stream. So they had to make alternative living arrangements and find a halfway point. They decided to settle in Elmhurst.
Moser said coming to Lutheran Church of the Master and to Carol Stream has made such challenges less burdensome.
"People have been very gracious," he said. "Anytime you go into a transition, whether it's work or moving or any of that, you really need people's graciousness to make that transition. People have been very kind to me."
It's this charitable spirit that drew Moser to Lutheran Church of the Master.
"I loved the community, both the community around here and the community of this church," Moser said about why he accepted the pastorate. "I think this has a strong sense of community, a place where I felt I could have something to offer, to help that community grow and be even more of a community."
The church has a tradition of reaching out to Carol Stream residents in need, Moser said. Its ministries include hosting a food pantry, operating a preschool and serving as a meeting place for community organizations and support groups.
"There is just a real interest in helping the quality of life of people who live in Carol Stream, to be a place to extend a helping hand," Moser said. "This congregation impresses me as not being overly concerned with its own institutional survival. It really is working hard to place the needs of the community first and the people of this neighborhood. I mean, obviously the church has to survive economically. But its heart and desire is to be a place that offers hope and possibility to the people in this community."
Moser believes his job at Lutheran Church of the Master will be to provide the leadership needed for the congregation to continue its legacy of outreach to the people of Carol Stream. This will help the church re-establish the value of the Christian faith in society, he said.
"Christianity as an expression, as a religious expression is under a lot of suspicion, and for good reason. As an institutional expression, it has lost a lot of credibility in our culture for a whole variety of reasons," Moser said. "I think the biggest piece of work is to help this church continue to establish its credibility as a faithful witness to Jesus and to his life and what he was about. So, I think there's that. There's the work of establishing credibility as being a follower of Jesus – it's a credible way of life; it's an important way to live your life," he said. "I think the next piece, then, is obviously people, because of the economy and of those stresses, are in a lot of pain in all sorts of ways. How does this congregation continue to be a place that extends its hand to the neighborhood and to the community? It says, 'We are here with you and for you. We want to walk that walk with you.'"
Aside from pursuing his ministry as a pastor, Moser said he enjoys another advantage of relocating to the western suburbs. He and his wife has the space to walk their dog, Baylee.
"Well, it's open. You know, from being in the city, it's open," Moser said. "I walked the bike trail one day, and it's open and people were up and down and they were like nice; they said 'Hi.' It's such a sense of community. It's nice."
