OK, so i bought this XJ a lil while ago but i was trying to get some more work done to it before i started a thread. Not much has been done at all, im just at the point where i may need to questions answered so i figure might as well get the ball rolling.
This guy at work found out that I was into xj's, he tells me one day that he has a mint 2 door he wants to sell me for cheap. says this thing has no rust on it at all, motor is brand new, and its just sitting in his dads garage(dad passed away 5 years ago) his dad was building it up to be just an all around cool rig. my response was that there is no way you have a clean as new xj sitting up in northern IL. he kept telling me he is going to take me to go check it out soon. (Woodstock IL.)
im down, right. my current jeep is a rusted out piece of crap, you all know that
now the reason its title this way. i agree to go check it out, but this guy keeps pushing it off. i say lets head up there this weekend he agrees and the cancels days later. weeks turn to months and so rew and i agree that the rust free 2 door xj with a brand new motor is a mythical creature:Unicorn.
finally one day i force him to make the trip only because im heading to Lake Geneva and driving threw Woodstock to get there. I have my hopes up to find a decent xj with rust assuming he just didn't know where to look, in a large shop with maybe a dead battery.

Re: Project:Unicorn
whoa right? this shop was the most cluttered up pile of amc parts i had ever seen.American pickers dream!!!
turns out that it originally came with the gm 6cyl. and dad pulled that crap and slapped in a 4.2 out of a 79 cj, WITH A 4 barrel and supposedly stroked. if everything he says is true it is a brand new motor with no miles and never started.

Re: Project:Unicorn
after 1st glance i say no way to much work involved here, and im not skilled enough to tackle it. then he show me around the shop and is pointing at all the crap he will throw in with the deal(parts wise) so i decide to give it another look, i get up underneath and confirm that the is literally no rust on the jeep. i pull back the carpet in the cargo area and still pretty red paint and no signs of rust. looking at all his parts i come to the conclusion that he is in possession of pretty much everything to get it rolling. after a couple weeks of thinking about it i decide to buy it.
well the unicorn still hunts me. i tell him i want it and once again we cant get up there to go get it, he pushes it off week after week. finally one day few months later we link up, he has a truck and trailer and i have my companies parts van. hes bringing the jeep and i have an entire e150 filled with random xj stuff. on the way home the trans blows in the f350 dully he was using to pull it. just so happen to be so close to his brothers that we trucked on there. and there it sat for about 2 more weeks. this thing just didn't want to come home to its new daddy
finally couple weeks later we managed to get it to where i work and park it in our back lot. there it sat for a couple more months. i wanted it home in my garage and once again the guy i got it from kept pushing me off. then one day my boss shows up with his truck and trailer and decides to help. he tows it to my house.
and there it found its new home

Re: Project:Unicorn
since then close to nothing has been done. i added an alternator and bracket and some belts.
couple weeks ago my boss bought a xj and wanted a cheap lift. this thing had the block lift with an add a leaf and coil and shocks all for about 3in lift. pulled it all off knowing that i wont need it and sold it to him to make some money back.
me and Tim pulling the lift off
btw the interior is pretty gutted

Re: Project:Unicorn
So right no w the big stopping point is the fact that i don't have a steering column, carb, drive shafts, or gas pedal. all parts he claims are in his shop in Woodstock......yea, you guessed it, i cant seem to get him up there to go get these parts. worst case those parts are not there, i can pull most of that stuff out of my black one when i start that tear down process.
but the main reason i made this thread is because im dealing with something a lil older than i know. so talk carb to me, what is my best option and where do i got to look. i called one of my real good auto guys and he said because the 258 did not come with a 4 barrel he did not even know where to look. anyone here got a better answer than that. does switching to a 4 barrel mean you are using a carb from a different application? and if so can i find out what that application is?

Re: Project:Unicorn
You would want some detailed specs on the motor build to get something in the approximately correct CFM range. Looks like a square bore manifold for one with fairly equal primaries and secondaries. I always liked the Holleys, and I'm sure they've improved them since the 80's.
99 XJ Limited 4.5", RC, RE, JKS, JCR, ACOS, HDORE, 4.56s, Detroits F/R, 33s 98 XJ Limited, wife's daily driver, 96 XJ Sport work truck /daily driver, 06 E350 PSD work truck/tow rig
Re: Project:Unicorn
i spent about 2 months this winter getting to know a 4.2L pretty well, but like stated above, you need to know some info about the motor to know what sort of carb it needs. the stock 258's had a 2 barrel carb on it, but if this one was retrofitted for a 4 barrel then there is certainly a reason for it. the 2 barrel was almost overkill for the stock manifolds...you may want to join ifsja just to ask some questions over there.
the other thing i would check is if it was built with a 4.2L block and a 4.0 head...it certainly doesn't look that way with the valve cover that is on there. i know a lot of folks do that swap though. personally i don't know about a stroked 258...i know you can use the parts to stroke a 4.0, but i was always under the assumption that a 258 is a stroked 232...something seems weird here.
Re: Project:Unicorn
Well the stroked part is not confirmed by any means, the guy i bought it from is a super hyper guy that talks up everything he sees. even my pile of junk is BAD ASS!!! in his opinion. i know i found a receipt for a cam and a few other motor parts with the title, so there defiantly has been some modifying. im hoping that i find the carb he bought for it in his shop if i ever get there.
i doubt that it has the 4.0 head, this shop had about 20 AMC motors laying around. i have a feeling he just grabbed one off the floor and slapped it in.

Re: Project:Unicorn
That there on top of the Jeep, is it one of these or close to it?
Re: Project:Unicorn
I believe so, im not sure what make it was for but im sure it was for an AMC. this guy had tons of stuff there AMC wise. even 1930s cord in mint condition, won some award as being one of the top in America. the guy i bought the xj from opened the garage so i could see it but wouldn't even let his 13yr daughter in there with us
Be the change you want the world to be
Re: Project:Unicorn
well if you decide you don't want it, you can just sell it to me i had fun tinkering with that 4.2...it was my first carb rebuild/tune and engine tune up and i'll admit, it was kind of fun
Re: Project:Unicorn
for right now im really hoping this is going to be fun. i know it needs a bit of work but i kinda bought it for the long term project aspect of it. i feel like me and my buddies hanging out in the garage messing with it is why i bought it. just wish i had a bigger garage to do it in.
well just thinking today and i remembered that the guy who built this was a big fan of 4WD magazine and website. so i went on their site to check out manifolds and found this one
which from the crappy pics i posted kinda looks like it. i did confirm that the motor is out of a 1979 cj(decoded the stamping on the side) so it looks like this would be the manifold that would fit...maybe...right?...
if so then that sight helps with the carb part of it to, so something like this may work...
now obviously i would need to confirm that's the manifold, but if so can, i trust that that would be the carb i need?
Be the change you want the world to be
Re: Project:Unicorn
that one should work well...can you find what cam it is from the reciept? that would be a great clue as to what cfm you need...
either way you could do an anvenger like that and re-jet it if you are running rich or lean. that motor is really simple to work on.
Re: Project:Unicorn
i should be able to. when i get home tonight i will find the receipt.
thats good news about it being easy, although im am thrilled to have a little garage project, i am an armature at best mechanic and most of the time have no idea what im doing

KISSIMMEE, Fla. – One of Central Florida's busiest highways is a lot cleaner after dozens of volunteers helped tidy it up Friday morning for National Volunteer Month.
- Volunteers picked up trash along U.S. 192 in Kissimmee
- It was part of National Volunteer Month
- Volunteers collected 17 bags of trash
The more than 50 volunteers made up of Florida Technical College students and members of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce cleaned a one-mile stretch of U.S. 192.
"I am really proud of them," Florida Technical College president Dr. James Mike Burkett said. "They showed the spirit of their community, not only the ones from Kissimmee. Most of our students live close to the campuses where they go to school and this is happening all across the state."
"I just like to maintain everything looking cute and help remind other people just have to make everything look beautiful for our future," said Yesenia Laracuente, a FTC cosmetology student.
Burkett said they adopted the stretch of highway from Fortune and Shakerag roads to help with FDOT's Adopt-A-Highway campaign. He said the goal is not only to make the city shine brighter but for the students to make the business connections they will need once they graduate.
"For them, especially, with us partnering with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, this becomes a great networking event for them as well," Burkett said. "They get to interact with business leaders from the community and people who may be their employer for them some day."
The volunteers were able to collect 17 bags of trash in Kissimmee.

Cinnamon Harvest in Sri Lanka: How the Peelers "Magically" Remove the Bark in One Piece
Have you ever wondered why cinnamon quills are curled like rolls of ancient paper?
Ceylon cinnamon, that is, the warm, woody spice that, when whole, resembles a single rolled layer of soft brown crumbly bark: This is the "true" cinnamon whose subtle aroma is faintly perfumed with citrus and clove, and whose flavor is both sweet and mildly astringent.
It's a beautiful spice, one which too few Americans have tasted, given the fact that its more pungent and assertive cousin cassia has stolen its identity, at least in the supermarkets where it's fobbed off as "cinnamon."
Mystica V, who lives in Sri Lanka, knows all about true cinnamon. She and her family own a property at Elpitiya in the southern part of the island where the spice is grown and harvested. Elsewhere the family has fields in which "tea, pineapple, mandarin oranges, chillies, vegetables, rubber and a bit of cloves" are cultivated.
Does it sound like a tropical paradise? Maybe—until you hear about the monkeys that raid the corn, the porcupines that tear up young coconut palms and the wild elephant who pays daily visits.
"He just stands at a distance of 300 metres and looks at everything," Mystica writes. "He comes again in the night and does not deviate from his route, so there's no point putting up fences…he just breaks the wall and goes through!!!"
Farming is the same everywhere: Hard work and lots of it.
Although cinnamon trees can grow 50 feet tall, they are kept small to allow for easy harvesting. But let Mystica explain in her own words and pictures…
"The shrub grows to a height of around seven feet. It can grow very much taller, but for practical reasons it is kept to this height. When growing, tips are broken to get branches to sprout as many new ones as possible…
"It is the branches that produce your cinnamon. They are cut when the branch is about one and a half inches thick. All the leaves are stripped and you are just left with a wooden stick, as it were.
"This is where the magic begins. The peelers just rub the surface of the bark to smooth it for a few minutes.
Then, using a very sharp knife, an incision is made right along its length from one end to the other. Next the point of the knife is inserted to go around the circumference of the stick. Just imagine shedding the skin of the bark from the stick without breaking it….
"The entire point of the story is that it must emerge whole, as a sort of "Swiss roll" of bark and then you slide out the stick. It sounds easy but believe me it is unimaginably difficult to do without breaking it into bits.
"These cylinders are then put to dry, normally on a string mesh ceiling. The heat of the country is enough to dry them. We do not dry in the sun because it is too harsh. If there is even the slightest bit of damp/stickiness in the bark, the price comes down. The idea is to have dry cinnamon in quills.
"Hundreds of quills are put together and tied in bundles. This is a very picturesque thing. You either see fellows on small motorbikes having a huge bundle of sticks neatly packed like a bale behind them taking them for sale,or the dealer comes to your home to buy which is invariably what we do ourselves.
"The cinnamon peeler's wages are worked out in a strange way. The owner takes half, the cinnamon peeler takes half. From the price paid to the peeler a sum of Rs 25 is deducted and this is added to the owner's price and then you work out who gets what.
"Cinnamon peeling is a family job and we right now have four brothers and one brother-in-law working for us. They come and stay with you for the entire duration of the peeling time and go home only after the job is done. We also tend to stay with the same set of peelers for their generation and it is only with a change of owners that sometimes a change of peelers will occur…"
And what of the branches that have been peeled? "The wood left behind is very slow burning. It is also very aromatic. It coats your pans with a sticky heavy black resin!!!!but it is a popular wood for cooking. Never ever use it myself."
Besides helping run her family's agricultural properties—last week she had to haul 50-kilogram sacks of fertilizer to the pineapple fields—Mystica is "happily married" with three children and is an enthusiastic quilter. She may also be the most prolific reader I know: Be sure to take a look at the many book reviews on her blog. And don't forget to try her delicious fish curry if you haven't already done so.
Do you have a spice story to share? Please send details and photos, if you have them, to me at spicelinesatgmaildotcom. I would love to tell your story as well!

Marugo Tonkatsu丸五
Marugo is a traditional tonkatsu (fried pork loin) restaurant, which was established as early as 1975, making it one of the oldest Japanese restaurants in Akihabara. Tonkatsu is a very popular dish in Japan and one can find tons of fast food style and curry restaurants which serve it. However, it can also be served as a delicacy, when the pork meat is of the finest quality. Marugo is one of these restarurants, serving tonkatsu as a gourmet dish, accompanied by a traditional hand made sauce.
Even if Marugo could be categorised as a high standard restaurant when it comes to tonkatsu, its prices are still very reasonable and one can have a meal for around 2.000 Yen. The restaurant itself is pretty small, with only 35 seats available, and, due to its popularity, it's frequent to find a line in front of it during lunch time. An English menu is available, so foreign costumers will have no problem asking for a meal.
Please take into account that Marugo closes every Monday and every other Tuesday. Lunch time is from 11:30 to 14:00 and dinner time from 17:00 to 21:00.

Privacy has become paramount in a world inundated with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and a host of electronic connections that feed on exposing secrets. NEED TO KNOW, by Jonathan Caren, explores just how much information is readily available in today's world with only a few taps of the finger and how that information may impact relationships. Google-stalking is so easy and can reveal so much. Are any of us safe from cyber "over" exposure in this day and age?
When Steven (Lucas Near-Verbrugghe) and his girlfriend Lilly (Corryn Cummins) move into their new apartment, they befriend their nerdy neighbor Mark (Tim Cummings), who has lived in the next-door apartment for 14 years. All three find some common ground around their hopes for artistic success - Steven as a visual artist, Lilly as a novelist with some early but not recent success, and Mark as an aspiring young adult novelist hoping to get published for the first time with his alien thriller, "Deformed." Initially, the talented couple is quick to find humor in Mark's peculiar novel-writing attempts. As details unfold, the new friendships become more than just awkward. Suddenly, the boundaries between fantasy and reality begin to blur - leading to both frightening and amusing consequences. Little do Steven and Lilly suspect that their personal conversations and intimate moments just might filter through the thin wall between their apartments - and they could never have guessed what repercussions might result from that simple faux pas. Twist after twist keeps the audience on their toes as physical and cyber space become one.
Need To Know is a play for the 21st Century with some subtle and not-so-subtle gaffes at society's perpetual attachment to cell phones, lap tops, social media, and Googling. Additionally, some hysterical but sobering questions are raised about privacy - or the lack thereof - in today's world. Playwright Jonathan Caren brilliantly blends funny and frightening with serious topical concerns. Director Bart DeLorenzo adroitly helms the production by allowing his cast to find and convey the perfect balance of laughter and gravitas. The three principals have a keen grasp on their character's nuances and conflicts. The production offers a clever set design (Stephanie Kerley Schwartz), believable contemporary costumes (E. B. Brooks), spot-on lighting (Chu-Hsuan Chang) and crisp sound (John Zalewski), all of which enhance the play's themes. Above all, the laughter from the audience confirms that they "get it" and are probably more familiar with this situation than they had realized. Perhaps the only shortcoming of this play is its focus on today's younger generation with its near-obsession with electronic communication. However, regardless of age, for anyone who is computer literate, the point will hit home.
NEED TO KNOW runs Saturdays at 5 p.m., Sundays at 7 p.m., and Mondays at 8 p.m. through December 13, 2015 (no performance November 16). Rogue Machine is located at 5041 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90019. Tickets are $30-$35 and can be reserved by calling 855-585-5185 or online at www.roguemachinetheatre.com.

Since before J-Bone was born, my plan was always to speak to him in Welsh.
There are a few reasons, which I've explained in an earlier blog incarnation, mostly revolving around an urge to preserve a (foreign) culture and give J the awareness of its preciousness. It is an enormously pretentious undertaking in many ways, but one that made sense to me: I'd visions of exchanging a few phrases of Welsh for fun and subversive purposes decades into the future. When I last wrote about the situation in March last year, J wasn't really using any words; now he can hold proper conversations. So whither his Cymric skills?
We've bought a few Welsh books since then, most recently on a family trip to Pembrokeshire, which J has enjoyed. The most successful story-book has probably been a translation of Julia Donaldson's The Smartest Giant in Town. This might be helped by the fact that it involves a bit of singing on my part, but it's a book he's asked for by name ('tand yn y dre') and doesn't complain about me reading it wrongly.
It's also the source of his only Welsh phrase so far – 'Paid â phoeni', which means 'Don't worry'. (However, he does think that's the name of the giant, who in this version is called Sion.) Perhaps I should take up the karmic lesson that his first phrase in Welsh is trying to show me and relax about the whole thing. Trying to get someone to speak a language that they must only be dimly aware of would send anyone reaching for metaphors about trying to fit an octopus into a carrier bag. In fact, I just did.
(Dr L is broadly supportive of this ridiculous project, as she values language as much as I do. J did ask her to read him a Welsh book once, but then decided she wasn't up to it. She was very happy to give it a go, though, and her pronunciation isn't too bad to my muggle ears, but I guess kids know when words are being guessed at. Maybe they share the language student's prejudice towards native speakers?)
The other success is a book of Welsh words, which he has loved gazing it for minutes on end – a long time, believe me. He hasn't even torn any of the pages out, which is a curious habit for a bibliophile like J-Bone but happens a hell of a lot. The preserved state of this book might be due in part to some watchful stewardship on my part and not allowing him to read it in his cot bed before sleep – the graveyard of many a sturdy hardback.
The 'trafnidaeth' (transport) section has been his favourite, so it's obvious that it's far less about Welsh words than pictures of diggers and trains, but I'll greedily snaffle that crumb of encouragement. Unfortunately, these positive croutons float in a less encouraging soup of rejection.
On a couple of occasions, J-Bone has protested at Welsh and told me to 'speak properly'. This has left my heart a little bruised, to be honest, and my (already shaky) enthusiasm and commitment to speaking Welsh has been dented. Some days have gone by in the last couple of months without me speaking a word in Welsh to him. I feel like I'm re-enacting the predicted retreat of the language itself into dessicated pockets of specialist usage, only instead of agriculture and poetry, I wield it around the kitchen.
For some reason, after moving to Leeds, I've already found the gravity of Cymric influence much weaker on this side of the Pennines. Wales feels (and is) a place much further away; its domestic pull has grown much weaker and the landscape already fading from my internal backdrop. Even the Welsh beaches have grown quieter in my thoughts: there's a rival North Sea coast in our imaginations and the salty draw westwards is disrupted. So there was already that. But the fact that Jasper is now aware that it's a different mode of speech, and that it bothers him, bothers me.
Not everything: I can still give him basic instructions in Welsh ('come here', 'you OK?', etc.), but his impatience with Welsh at story time is troubling. I was expecting something to happen along these lines, but not before he started pre-school. Although, there will be so many languages there (28, we were told when we visited), fitting in linguistically probably won't be an issue: Welsh will just be another at-home language among dozens of others.
It could be that he feels frustrated at not understanding me, as he has sometimes asked me to 'speak slowly' when I read Welsh to him, perhaps assuming it's English but I'm garbling the words. Story times can be fraught even in monolingual households if details in well-known books are skipped or short-cuts attempted; these stories are part of a bed-time ritual and cannot be idly messed about by fidgety carers. So perhaps I'm judging his dismissal of Welsh a bit prematurely.
(I haven't helped by teasingly translating bits of his favourite Thomas stories into Welsh; that gets dealt with very swiftly and angrily.)
But Latin wasn't built in a day, and I'll keep plugging away with Welsh phrases as often as I can, clinging to the dream that J might exchange a word or two with his Welsh cousins one day.
Wish me luck. Pob lwc i chi gyd!

Automated testing improves precision and repeatability for medical device quality control
11. January 2019 / By Alessio Cocchi E / 1 Comment
Accuracy, repeatability, and safety are critical aspects in the manufacture of many devices, especially those that have stringent quality requirements such as medical, industrial or transportation systems. These are also key features that distinguish UR cobots—and make them ideal for testing these products for quality assurance.
The ability to automate routine testing operations with a high degree of efficiency provides multiple advantages. In the production phase, automation can significantly shorten cycle times and in the quality-control stage, the standardization of test batteries ensures uniform and reliable results.
This was the case for the BioRobotics Institute of the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, Italy where a research team developed a robotics application that automates the functional tests on ultrasound probes. The probes are produced by ESAOTE, one of the world's leading manufacturers of biomedical equipment, in particular in the field of ultrasound, dedicated magnetic resonance and software for the management of the diagnostic process.
The UR5 model was chosen for the test automation. With a 5 kg load capacity and 850 mm reach in a robot arm that weighs less than 19 kg, the UR5 is flexible and versatile enough for many quality control and pick-and-place operations.
Commercial probe alignment in water tank with manual mechanics (left), and with the UR5 equipped with a gripper from UR+ partner Schunk (right).
Before the integration of the application developed by the Pisa team, test batteries on the probes were manually performed by specialized technicians. The tests verify the degree of precision expressed by the probe by analyzing the signal emitted in a container full of water. Water is typically used in this kind of measurement since its acoustic properties (such as ultrasound velocity) match those of body tissues. For these tests, the accurate alignment of the probe is crucial. Comparing the data from three tests with manual alignment against those of three tests with robotic alignment left no doubt: the collaborative robots guarantee more precise and repeatable data.
The developers are able to record the starting position of the robotic arm through three spatial coordinates (x, y, z) in space, which they can set during the programming phase. This speeds test setup and makes the process more reliable. In fact, this ability eliminates variables that inevitably came into play with manual positioning of the probe.
The robot was controlled through a PC based software allowing the user to set the following parameters/actions: select the probe type to test; open or close the Schunk gripper; positioning the robot in different test points; set amplitude and direction of translational and rotational movements. As show in the Graphical User Interface the software can perform three type of adjustment for linear offset and three for angular ones.
But the greatest advantage guaranteed by the collaborative robotic application is the human factor. The safety natively integrated into the cobots have allows the constant presence of ESAOTE specialized technicians near the robotic cell, in complete safety. The sharing of space and the possibility of applying the experience and professionalism of collaborators on higher value-added tasks is one of the most evident aspects of collaborative UR robotics. In the case of the BioRobotics Institute application, repetitive tasks, such as the positioning of the probe, are entrusted to the robotic arm, under the watchful eye of the specialized technician who oversees the entire experiment.
In true collaboration, significantly improved results come from the appropriate utilization of robot and human.

We are now calling for participants in Orang Asli Socio-Economics Malaysia Fieldwork (August 25~ Sept 3, 2016).
About the Fieldwork
The Orang Asli (OA) are the indigenous minority peoples of Peninsular Malaysia. The name is a Malay term which transliterates as 'original peoples' or 'first peoples'. It is a collective term introduced by anthropologists and administrators for the (officially) 18 ethnic subgroups generally classified for official purposes under Negrito, Senoi and Proto-Malay. They numbered closed to 200,000 in 2015 representing a mere 0.6 per cent of the national population (30 million). Being a minority group their wellbeing and social-economics status is among the lowest in the country. Among the issues impeding the OA progress to be at par with the average national level achievement are education, economy (which include land rights), health, and culture and indigenous knowledge preservation.
This fieldwork provides a good opportunity for students to identify and learn how these issues are affecting the local OA community. The selected community for this fieldwork is a small Orang Asli village from the Semai tribe with a population of about 300-400 people, located in the state of Perak which is about 3 hour drive either from Penang (North) or from Kuala Lumpur (South). Students will have firsthand experience in interacting with the local OA community to gather data/information on specific issues, and there will be a day (The National day) allocated for community engagement activities which will include traditional sports/games, mutual assistance task or "gotong-royong" for food preparation, and many more.
Prior to the fieldwork, students will be briefed with the OA background, history and the various government and NGO initiatives to improve their livelihood and socio-economic status. During the fieldwork, students will have a chance to meet and interact with the local people. These local "experts" insights should help the students either to reinforce or correct their initial impressions about the issues impeding the OA socioeconomic progress. The main theme of the fieldwork is to think and discuss the effective ways of how to improve the livelihood of the local OA community based on the collected & analyzed data and especially to provide recommendations for the village administrative entity to plan or implement the proposals. The topics to be studied in the fieldwork include (but not limited to) education, entrepreneurship, sustainable environment, preservation of local knowledge and heritage, and ICT communication info-structure of the community.

It must have been a frightening experience for Paolo Gabriele and his wife and three children. It was a Wednesday – May 23, 2012 to be exact, when the Vatican police arrived on their doorstep. Mr. Gabriele had been Pope Benedict XVI's butler since 2006 but now he was the focus of a major internal criminal investigation. Someone was leaking to outside sources very private details of life on the inside. Details and alleged tales that were considered state secrets were finding their way into the hands of Italian journalists. And then a book was published based on personal correspondence between the Pope and his secretary. A deep insider had obviously stolen some of the pope's very personal papers. Finally, the knock came on the door and Paolo Gabriele was arrested. Eventually he was convicted and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Good News from the Pope
The human tendency when we have been wronged or our image capriciously damaged is to be secretly vindictive and intensely unforgiving. So it was newsworthy when Pope Benedict XVI himself knocked on Mr. Gabriele's door (so to speak) on December 22 – just before Christmas to personally deliver the good news. The Pope visited his 'repentant' former butler to tell him he personally forgave him and granted him his request for a pardon.
To an offender forgiveness is a beautiful thing – not to mention a pardon! But to be released from all traces of wrong-doing and to have it removed from your record – is a criminal's dream come true. Maybe it wasn't intended to be an early Christmas gift but for Mr. Gabriele, it will probably go down as the best gift he ever received. Pardoned!
Pardoned but Leave the Premises
But the remarkable pardon came with at least one major condition: Paolo Gabriele could no longer be a resident of the world's smallest country – Vatican City. Prior to the offense, the butler was one of that country's 594 residents. But the pardoned ex-butler had to give up his house in the Vatican and leave the state and never return to his former occupation. It seems the Pope wished his former trusted aide well and then sent him away.
A pardon is more than any criminal deserves. Years ago when American President Richard Nixon was implicated in major criminal activity, his successor, President Gerald Ford granted him a pardon. However, when the disgraced Nixon exited the White House, the presidential pardon did not include an invitation for him to return to the White House for any special red-carpet treatment. In street language, it seemed the unwritten and unspoken message was – "You're free; now make yourself scarce. Go!"
Pardoned and Welcomed Forever
Human pardons are hugely different from God's pardons. God does not say to the sinner: "You are forgiven and pardoned from your sins and that's it! Stay away from Me and all that is Mine." Rather, God says: "You are completely forgiven and pardoned for all your sins. You are welcomed with outstretched arms into My Family forever. I claim you as one of my children and you now have access to all that is Mine for this life and forever!"
The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son
cleanses us from all sin.
1John 1:7
But as many as received Him (Jesus)
to them He gave the right to become children of God,
even to those who believe in His name,
John 1:12
Even Better than a Pardon!
God is offering you forgiveness and a full pardon for all your sins – yes, every single one of them, including those you have forgotten and better still, those you cannot forget. This pardon is available to you today – free of charge and free of penance. To every honest sinner, God offers full forgiveness through the Lord Jesus Christ. But He goes far beyond the concept of a pardon. God also justifies the sinner.
Justification is a great Bible truth. Because of the satisfaction Christ brought to God when He answered for every one of our sins on the Cross, God is able to do something awesome for the sinner. He justifies the sinner. Not only does the saved sinner have a cleared-off record before God, God welcomes the sinner into His presence with a righteousness and perfection that can never be altered or lost. Because sinners embrace God's Son as Saviour, God sees the justified sinner IN Christ and He can bestow upon former sinners all the blessings of one totally accepted in Christ.
God's forgiveness, pardon and justification goes far beyond any gracious act any human can do for another person. Only God can do for you what needs to be done. You will never have true peace until you are right with God. God is waiting for you to accept His gracious offer. Will you accept Christ today?
Therefore, having been justified by faith,
we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Romans 5:1

On September 21st at 6:30 P.M. the Women at Crossroads will be beginning a new soul care for women class utilizing the Beth Moore DVD series Breaking Free.
Breaking Free is an in-depth study of freedom in Christ, which draws heavily on themes from the OT book of Isaiah. Members will explore what factors keep believers from living and enjoying the benefits of abundant life in Christ. Participants will be challenged to develop not "just knowledge" about what freedom can look like but an actual lifestyle of living free. The first hour of the course will be a DVD teaching session by the renown Bible teacher Beth Moore.
Beth was a victim of childhood sexual abuse and "Breaking Free is Beth Moore's life message about the transforming power of Christian freedom. In addition to attending the lecture part of the course participants will also be REQUIRED to attend the group experience that is scheduled to follow each teaching session. A workbook will be supplied to each participant and students will be expected to complete homework assignments. The course is ten weeks in length.
For freedom Christ set us free. No longer be entangled in a yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1
The small groups that are such and essential part of this soul care experience will be led by Maryellen Stipe, Linda Hanson and a staff of trained female clinicians from the Care Center at Crossroads.
On September 23rd at 6:30 P.M. and September 24th at 9:30 A.M. our new fall Bible Study will begin and will be an expositional look at the book of Titus.
The instructor for this course will be Maryellen Stipe.
Titus is a surprising little book that is full of practical wisdom. If you've ever been troubled by people who profess Christ and yet live very differently than you, Titus will be an eye-opener. If you have ever wondered if there is any hope for our mixed-up confused society, Titus well help you find the answer. If you want to lean how to take your Christianity more seriously and affect others in the church to do the same, then Titus is the book for you. Come out to this six week study that is bound to bless your socks off!

hot water + beans = successful day
But you already knew that. That's why you get your coffee every day before you hop on the train, bike, or bus to go to work. Hot or iced, it gets your fuzzy brain pumped up and your eyes open and alert. So I know how excited you will be when you find out about a new coffee shop opening up on Fulton Street: Blu York Coffee Lounge. Co-owners Ivan Giovanettina and Ian Robinson were sitting around one summer in Bed-Stuy musing about how nice it would be to get out of the house and just hang out at a cafe. So they decided to open one up.
And this is not your traditional coffee place either. Ivan and Ian envisioned a bar sans alcohol, a lounge where you could sip their private coffee roasting label (fair-trade and organic), toss in a menagerie of flavored syrups and the finest ingredients, and mingle with your neighbors. "Why should Manhattan get to have all the nice stuff when residents should have it here" said Ivan, explaining the concept. A series of both organic and conventional ingredients are used as well as all natural (not that "fake natural" as Ivan exclaimed) and they installed a four-level water filtration system for their gleaming Fiorenzato Ducale. Once they get off of the ground, Blu York will offer frappes, fruit smoothies, a wide selection of teas, Italian sodas, and 2-3 flavors of iced tea and lemonade.
The food menu (which will actually begin in June, the same time their back patio will open!!!!) will pay homage to comfort food as well as customers' special dietary restrictions. "Half the menu will be like Grandma used to make while the other half will be health-oriented," Ivan continues, "we are working with a company now to develop special menu options, so if you have diabetes or high-blood pressure, certain items will have icons to show they are meant for that particular diet." With many of the baked goods, and all of the soups, salads, and sandwiches made on-site, this place will be fresh in every sense of the word. And they plan on being a major staple of your day, too. Call, text, tweet, or facebook them before you leave your house in the morning, and they will have your lunch order already waiting when you pick your morning coffee up. Ivan says "you can save a couple of bucks by buying your lunch here and bringing it with you instead of buying your lunch at work in Manhattan." And he has a point: $3 saved every work-day is $720 per year!
But Blu York Coffee Lounge is not just part of your daily commute, it is part of our thriving community. During construction, every material used is either recycled or recyclable and all of their building and construction contractors, their vendors, and suppliers are locals from Brooklyn. On top of this, they are employing a number of youth from the Vannguard Urban Improvement Association's youth development program. They also hope to have a 'tutoring-time' for teachers to help tutor local students in exchange for some food perks on top of an amazing time-bank barter board available.
To top it all, they plan on having a full program schedule of live music (a full on dj station and sound system), art shows representing local artists, jazz nights, dance and talent competitions out on the back patio, and as a meeting space for community groups (feel free to hook up your presentations on their flat screen TV's).
Ivan and Ian plan on opening Blu York's doors mid-May, 7:30am – 8pm daily. Once summer is in full swing in mid-June, they plan on staying open until 11 on the weekends with their full menu and having plenty of fun times out in their back patio.
Your new fix lies between Marcy and New York Avenue, across from Applebee' s at 1365 Fulton Street.

The civil procedure final was going to be three questions: one about personal jurisdiction, another about subject matter jurisdiction, and a third about the Erie doctrine. We knew this. The professor had told us. Every civil procedure exam he gave was set up this way. Three questions, three major topics: one question per major topic.
But, like they say, the trick was in the details. Each question would have at least two subparts. In the first subpart, the majority of the points would be tied to the major topic of the question. But there were other subparts, minority subparts for lack of a better term. These were over the ancillary topics we had covered. Collateral attacks. Rule 12 motion sequences. The significance of dismissing for lack of personal jurisdiction versus subject matter jurisdiction. Preclusion. All sorts of stuff about class actions.
Last night, the night before the exam, I was reviewing old exams. These minority subparts were driving me a bit nuts. There'd be one saying something like, Frank filed a Rule 14(b)(1)(iii) motion, which the court had denied. Considering how this might impact his chances of renewing the claim in a different venue, or precluding additional counter claims, what should Frank do? My first thought was, "I don't know, go eat a sandwich?" Seriously, I couldn't figure out what the question was answering. I don't think the challenge of an exam should be in decoding the questions so that they may be answered. I think the challenge should be in answering the actual questions. So I was worried that I'd get to the minority subparts of the three questions and have no idea what was going on.
Fortunately, that wasn't the case. I even figured out what one of them was really asking, instead of what it initially looked to be asking (or at least I thought I did, time will tell).

Unsteady Pressure Distribution of a Flapping Wing Undergoing Root Flapping Motion with Elbow Joint at Different Reduced Frequencies
DOI: https://doi.org/10.15866/irease.v10i3.11530
This paper reports on the result of wind tunnel test of a mechanical flapping wing undergoing pure flapping with elbow joint. The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of reduced frequency on the unsteady pressure distribution around a flapping wing cross section. A specially designed mechanical wing flapper with elbow joint was developed and tested. The data measured were the kinematics, airspeeds and pressure distribution around the outer wing cross section at three different reduced frequencies. The results revealed three distinct flow phenomena of attach flow, laminar separation bubble and dynamic stall occurring at the reduced frequencies tested. These flow characteristics are dependent on the instantaneous effective angle of attack of the wing during flapping.

Midday in Canyonland National Park, Utah
It's hard to get decent pictures in the middle of the day, but I love the columns and details of the canyons and the erosion of canyon country. It's some amazing stuff. I'm glad to be a part of this land and I never take it for granted!

Clouds over the landscape manifest themselves in the most interesting way. This same moment in time will never be repeated in time. Now I am attempting to think deep here! 😉

A member of the Parsley Family, purple sanicle (Sanicula bipinnatifida) is a native perennial found in British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California. It grows in serpentine soils on bluffs and rocky slopes and in dry open forests and meadows at elevations less than 6,000 feet. These purple sanicle were photographed in early April along Waters Gulch Trail at Lake Shasta (Shasta County CA).
The stout stems of purple sanicle arise from a taproot. The pinnately divided leaves have a long petiole (stem) and can be green, greyish or purplish. There are flat, sharply pointed wings extending down the axis of the leaf.
The purple sanicle inflorescence, one or more per plant, is an umbel (the stalks arising from one point) composed of 3 to 5 heads. Each head contains bisexual and male-only flowers with tiny, curving, reddish purple or yellowish petals. The pistils and stamens exceed beyond the petals giving the head a fuzzy appearance. The bracts are leaf-like.
The fruits of purple sanicle are schizocarps (a fruit that divides into two parts at maturity, each containing one seed. Each head contains 3 to 8 schizocarps covered with hooked prickles.
Other common names for S bipinnatifida are shoe buttons and purple blacksnakeroot or purple snakeroot. Native Americans used a poultice of purple sanicle roots to treat snakebites.
The genus name, Sanicula, comes from the Latin "sanus" meaning "whole or sound" or, alternately, from "sanare" meaning "to heal". "Cut pinnately twice", the meaning of the species designation (bipinnatifida), refers to the leaves.

Most entrepreneurs and innovators with great ideas fail, in many cases because they don't understand media dynamics. They don't know what really drives people's interest. Getting media coverage is not an art; it's a science.
The Impatient Sprint
The main idea behind News-Worth Dynamics is that all stories need to have something to make them newsworthy. Not all information is newsworthy. Stories need to supply certain elements of interest to qualify as news. These elements of interest form the Seven Traits of News-Worth.
With that in mind, we created the Impatient Sprint, a step-by-step system combining the Google Design Sprint and creation of front-page stories.
We work closely with Taig Mac Carthy, the author of News-Worth Creation book and inventor of the News-Worth Canvas.
Build and test a remarkable product from scratch in just a week. It's all about getting that head start.
Why use the Impatient Sprint?
It's no longer enough to have a "good quality product", you need to have the right, the remarkable product that will work in media. The Impatient Sprint is the fastest way to find out if a product is worth developing, if a feature is worth the effort, or if your value proposition is really valid. Don't invest months of time, invest a week.
What does The Impatient Sprint look like?
Define the challenge
Choose & combine the best
the dinosaur
Build headlines & draft the articles
Study the Specimen
the Beast
Define the prototype
the prototype
the articles
user tests
the dinosaur
Use feedback to create next steps
& relax
What is the exact outcome?
The outcome of every Impatient Sprint Week is a high-fidelity prototype of your remarkable product, tested by real users, and a clear insight into your free media driven launch strategy.
You will save tons of time and valuable resources you would usually spend on long product development cycles and expensive advertising driven launches.
What happens after the sprint?
Once you have a tangible representation of your product in your hand, and real user insights to guide your next steps, making decisions becomes a lot easier. You could use a second sprint to iterate and polish the idea, bringing it very close to production-ready, or you could use the prototype to sell the idea further and develop the concept.

Former German finance minister 'ends cooperation with Firtash'
Former German Finance Minister and current member of Bundestag Peer Steinbrueck has refused to serve as an advisor to Agency for the Modernization of Ukraine (AMU), German information agency DPA reported on Tuesday, citing an AMU statement.
Steinbrueck decided to discontinue his participation due to "escalating and complicated political relations in Ukraine," German news broadcaster Deutsche Welle has reported with reference to DPA.
Steinbrueck also stressed the incompatibility of working on the modernization of the Ukrainian banking and tax system with his mandate as a deputy of Bundestag and a member of the SPD parliamentary faction. Earlier, Steinbrueck said he intended to cooperate with the agency, despite criticism, and clearly stated his support for "this task and function."
The initiative to establish the AMU in March this year has been the subject of criticism from the very beginning, in view of the fact that it is financed by Ukrainian oligarchs, particularly Dmytro Firtash, whose wealth, some media claim, was accumulated thanks to non-transparent schemes of Russian gas supplies to Ukraine.
Currently, Firtash, the chairman of Group DF, is in Vienna, where he was arrested in March 2014 at the request of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. U.S. law enforcement officers suspect that Firtash tried to get permission to titanium mining in India by offering bribes totaling $18.5 million.
On April 30 this year, a court in Vienna refused to extradite Ukrainian oligarch to the United States.

I have gone through the Lord of the Rings trilogy several times recently. To understand Tolkien's mind is what I aimed for. I am ashamed to say that I never saw it as more than an English myth before, though a right good one. Now, I know it somewhat to be his lament that the England he knew as a boy was losing its hobbit-like ways, and so, very much in danger of being overrun by "Shadow." Shadow, then, to Tolkien is all things hyper-industrial and lacking regard for the innate value of living things.
Wherever the shadow spreads, greed, lust for control, and dullness of imagination and creativity prevail. Treebeard (the Ent) gives us this window into Tolkien's mind in "The Two Towers." There the tree herder states something concerning Saruman to the effect of, 'He has a mind of metal and gears. He no longer cares for growing things.' So, the shadow takes us from adoring creation, one another, and the goodness and artistry to be enjoyed in life toward seeking for value in what can be made, taken, subjugated, or mass produced for profit and economic power. Worth is not measured by life itself but by how much life can be controlled, possessed or by what a life can produce – for ME, MINE, MY OWN… MY PRECIOUS. And, just like the Ring of Power does, one is taken into "the void," neither truly living nor dead. My, my! Isn't that telling!I am sure that the struggle Tolkien presented in his series had (I should say "has") its foundation in that premise.
Factually, Tolkien admitted that the seeds for Middle Earth and its languages and stories were fostered in the trenches of war. There, on the front lines in World War I and faced with nightmares while both awake and asleep, Mr. Tolkien got sight of the flame-wreathed eye of materialistically driven societies. Frodo and his friends were all struggling for the analogous point, being: human dignity and quality of life found in relationships and in enjoying creation and life as it is… or can be beautified by sound thought, virtues & artistry. In many ways, this stands quite against the Marxism and growing fascism of Tolkien's time.
Yet, I see that Tolkien admits, through his portrayal of the Ring's power, that even the most simple and pure are greatly pained with greed, envy, power, quick gain, etc. In the end, we find that both our enemies (Gollum) and our friends (Sam) have something to do with our desired riddance of Shadow and the Ring of Power. Though Frodo's (and Bilbo's) sympathies were with Gollum for what the Ring had done to Smeagol, there was no abiding with Gollum who indeed had some [notorious] part to play as Bilbo predicted. Sam is the real hero, though, along with every other person who proves faithful, modest, true, and brave not for his own sake. Those are the true warriors and victors in friendship and life.
All in all, I much more enjoyed the trilogy this time. I do feel I understand Tolkien a bit more. Just the same, I feel his philosophy – no, his motive – for writing differs from C. S. Lewis'. Lewis, according to letters, wrote his Chronicles to "slay the stained glass dragon." By that, he went on to say he meant to tear down the formalism of ritual religion, which is apart from real relation with God. He meant to illustrate the sort of relation possible with God, which he also knew himself. As Aslan says (paraphrased) to Lucy and Eustace in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, 'I am in every world; but in your world, I go by a different name. That is the reason I brought you into Narnia – that by knowing me here, you might know me better in your own world.' Thus we see Lewis' motive for writing the stories.
Both Tolkien and Lewis were self-proclaimed Christian men. Whereas Tolkien spoke to the human soul as it struggles in life against evil within and without, Lewis speaks to the human spirit, as it relates to God. Whereas Tolkien wrote to expose degradation of human dignity by humans and self, Lewis wrote to expose the dead orthodoxy of the Anglican Church of his day and of all "church" (so called) that points to ritual and feelings of awe, instead of genuine interaction and relationship with God.Both are masters!
Both have given us wonderful insights. Though Tolkien ribbed Lewis for his being too allegorical and simple, I think Lewis held the correct priority. No human can rightly relate to other humans until he is first rightly related to God. No one can win over the Shadow until Aslan has cut away the dragon of self (as Eustace experienced). If we are to throw the Ring of Power in the fires of Mt. Doom, we must first allow the claws of Aslan to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves – remove the scales of self (the source of shadow within) down to the core and then wash us clean in the pool of his renewing power. This is the beginning of our transformation into "a better Eustace" and the crumbling of the evil tower in our Middle Earth.

Pehla subscribers can pay at UAE Exchange outlets
A new deal between Arab Digital Distribution (ADD) and UAE Exchange Centre will enable Pehla subscribers to make their payments at any UAE Exchange Centre in Dubai.
According to a new agreement signed between Arab Digital Distribution (ADD) and UAE Exchange Centre, Pehla subscribers can now make their payments at any UAE Exchange Centre in Dubai. This facility will soon be extended to subscribers in Kuwait and Oman as well.
All Pehla, Firstnet and Al-Awael subscribers can walk into any one of the UAE Exchange outlets, flash their smart card number and pay their subscription fees on the spot. "After our tie-up with some of the leading banks in the country to offer facility to their customers to settle their credit card bills, this current tie-up with ADD is a testimony to the fact that UAE Exchange offers different services best suited to its existing and potential clientele," says Sudhir Kumar Shetty, general manager, UAE Exchange Centre LLC.
Speaking about the partnership with UAE Exchange Centre, Vinod D'Mello, executive vice-president of marketing and network development, Arab Digital Distribution adds, "We have formulated this new mode of subscription fee payments in cash through UAE Exchange outlets to provide our customers with reliable, convenient and cost effective services. It's the first of its kind in this region which clearly demonstrates our leadership in the pay TV business".

Sony has just announced it's new HX99 compact camera, and it features a rather useful zoom range.
Sony continues its introduction of still cameras with extensive video capabilities with the announcement today of the HX99 compact camera. I am, in fact, thinking of cameras of this genre from all manufacturers in automobile terms calling them "crossover cameras." And you can think of the HX99 as the subcompact crossover with features mirroring the big dogs.
The HX99 weighs a mere 8.6oz (242g) with battery and memory card and measures roughly 4x2x1 inches (102x58x35 mm). Yet within this small body there is a 1 /2.3" Exmor R CMOS sensor with 18.2 megapixel resolution. It's most innovative feature is the 24-720mm zoom (35mm equivalent) with a Zeiss Vario-Sonar T* lens. Optical steady shot works in both still and video modes. From an ergonomic perspective, the HX99 has a handgrip contoured to one's hand allowing easier holding of such a small camera.
While the still photographic options are numerous and mirror the features of current Sony "crossover" cameras, we'll concern ourselves for the moment with video features.
The HX99 shoots up to UHD resolution in XAVC-S and AVCHD codecs. In its NTSC mode, it shoots UHD up to 30p and HD up to 60p. As Sony has been featuring in all recent cameras, the UHD sensor readout is full, with no pixel pinning. Sony has also introduced proxy recording which enables the simultaneous recording of a proxy file while recording UHD video. And it can record HFR in HD up to 120p NTSC or 100p PAL. The lock-on AF feature works in both still and video modes.
The 180 degree tiltable LCD screen eases composition, particularly when working with such a small camera. There is, in addition, a pop-up OLED viewfinder.
Recording is to microSD cards and it has an ISO range of 80-6400.
The HX99 will retail for $449 US and will ship in November.
