By using eq. (\ref{gauge}) in (\ref{cov}) we find
\begin{eqnarray}
&& i(D^\mu[A])^{ab}=\delta^{\mu 0} (\delta^{ab}{\hat p}_0 -g\Lambda^{ab}(t)z)+ \delta^{ab}\delta^{\mu 1} \hat{p}_x +\delta^{ab} \delta^{\mu 2} {\hat p}_y+\delta^{ab} \delta^{\mu 3} \hat{p}_z  \nonumber \\
&& =\delta^{\mu 0} (\delta^{ab}{\hat p}_0 -g\Lambda^{ab}(t)z)+ \delta^{ab}\delta^{\mu T} \hat{p}_T + \delta^{ab}\delta^{\mu 3 } \hat{p}_z
\label{dmu}
\end{eqnarray}
where $\Lambda^{ab}(t)$ is given by eq. (\ref{lamb}).
From eqs. (\ref{mab}) and (\ref{green}) we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
&& G_\mu^{\nu, ab}(x,x')
= \int_0^\infty ds[<x| \int_0^\infty ds ~\nonumber \\
&& e^{-s( \delta_\mu^\nu [-({\hat p}_0 -

\end{eqnarray}
where
\begin{eqnarray}
{\hat F}_\mu^\nu=\delta_{\mu 3} \delta_{\nu 0}+\delta_{\mu 0} \delta_{\nu 3}.
\label{fm}
\end{eqnarray}
Using eqs. (\ref{gr}) and (\ref{gauge}) in (\ref{tad}) we find the tadpole effective action
\begin{eqnarray}
&& S_{\rm tad} = \frac{1}{2}\int d^2x_T ~d^2x'_T~  dz~ dt~ dz'~ dt' ~\int_0^\infty ds~ \frac{dE^a(t)}{dt}
[<x_T|  <t|<z| \nonumber \\

&&  |t'>|z'> x'_T>]^{ab} \frac{dE^b(t')}{dt'}.
\label{tad2}
\end{eqnarray}
Inserting complete set of $|p_T>$ states (by using $\int d^2p_T |p_T><p_T|=1$) we find
\begin{eqnarray}
&& S_{\rm tad} =\frac{1}{2} \int d^2x_T ~d^2x'_T~  dz~ dt~ dz'~ dt' ~ d^2p_T~\int_0^\infty ds~ \frac{dE^a(t)}{dt}

)} \nonumber \\
&& |t'>|z'> <p_T|x'_T>]_3^{3,~ab}
\frac{dE^b(t')}{dt'}
\label{tad1}
\end{eqnarray}
where $_3^3$ means the $\mu=3$ and $\nu=3$ component of the Lorentz matrix.
Using $<q|p>=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} e^{iqp}$ we obtain
\begin{eqnarray}
&& S_{\rm tad} = \frac{1}{2(2\pi)^2} \int d^2x_T ~d^2x'_T ~ dz ~dt ~dz' ~dt'~  d^2p_T~ \int_0^\infty ds~\frac{dE^a(t)}{dt}
[e^{ix_T \cdot p_T}   <t|<z| \nonumber \\
&&e^{-s( \delta_\mu^\nu [-({\hat p}_0 -
g\Lambda(t) z)^2 +\hat{p}_z^2 +p_T^2]-~2g \Lambda(t){\hat F}_\mu^\nu -(\frac{1}{\alpha}-1)(\delta_{\mu 0} ({\hat p}_0 -g\Lambda(t)z)- \delta_{\mu T} p_T - \delta_{\mu 3} \hat{p}_z)(\delta^{\nu 0} ({\hat p}_0 -g\Lambda(t)z)+ \delta^{\nu T} p_T +\delta^{\nu 3} \hat{p}_z)
 )} \nonumber \\
&&e^{-ix'_T \cdot p_T}  |z'>|t'>]_3^{3 ab}
\frac{dE^b(t')}{dt'}.
\label{tad3}
\end{eqnarray}
Integrating over $x'_T$ (by using $\int d^2x'_T e^{-ix'_T \cdot p_T} = (2 \pi)^2 ~\delta^{(2)}(\vec{p}_T))$
we find
\begin{eqnarray}
&& \frac{dS_{\rm tad}}{dt d^3xd^2p_T} =\frac{\delta^{(2)}(\vec{p_T})}{2}~ \int dt'~\int dz'  ~\int_0^\infty ds~\frac{dE^a(t)}{dt}
[<t|<z| \nonumber \\
&& e^{-s( \delta_\mu^\nu [({\hat p}_0 -
g\Lambda(t) z)^2 +\hat{p}_z^2 +p_T^2]-~2g \Lambda(t){\hat F}_\mu^\nu -(\frac{1}{\alpha}-1)(\delta_{\mu 0} ({\hat p}_0 -g\Lambda(t)z)- \delta_{\mu T} p_T - \delta_{\mu 3} \hat{p}_z)(\delta^{\nu 0} ({\hat p}_0 -g\Lambda(t)z)+ \delta^{\nu T} p_T +\delta^{\nu 3} \hat{p}_z)
 )} \nonumber \\
&& |z'>|t'>]_3^{3 ab} \frac{dE^b(t')}{dt'}.
\label{tad4}
\end{eqnarray}
which has a $\delta^{(2)}(\vec{p}_T)$ distribution. Hence we find for any non-vanishing $p_T$
\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{dS_{\rm tad}}{d^4xd^2p_T} = 0.
\label{ftad}
\end{eqnarray}
Hence the tadpole (or single gluon) effective action do not
contribute to eq. (\ref{1}) of the non-perturbative gluon (pair) production
rate $\frac{dW}{d^4xd^2p_T}$ via Schwinger mechanism.

A new start in a new land was perhaps the reason Zera W. Allen led his wife, Nancy Price, and their eight children from Jackson County, Tennessee,1 (1 He was living in Humphries County. Tennessee, according to the 1840 census.) to Randolph County, Arkansas, in the early 1840s.2 (2 1843 may be the accurate date. See: "Lawrence Dalton's Column," Pocahontas Star Herald, 23 February 1956.) Allen settled his family about a mile north of Supply near a spring site. He purchased 640 acres, built a house, a barn, and later a log building on a corner of his land along the old Warm Springs Road which eventually served as a school and church building.
During the Civil War, Zera was forced to move his family into Missouri because of his Federal sympathies. His twenty year old son, Hampton, was killed by southern sympathizers in 1862.
Zera Allen returned to his Arkansas home after the war where he farmed and preached until his death in 1892. David Sharp, a Baptist minister and life-long friend of Allen's, conducted the funeral service.9 (9 Owings) Zera Allen's mortal coil sleeps in the Allen Cemetery next to his loved ones awaiting his Lord's return.
The Allen Cemetery is located in the far north of Randolph County, Arkansas. Just about a mile south of the Missouri/Arkansas state line on Hwy. 166., look for an old house with rock facing. The cemetery is down behind the house. Head through the fence into a cattle field, down past the drinking pond, and through another fence line. The old cemetery is in in a thicket of trees in this second field. There are only three or four headstones left in the section. Time and cattle grazing has decimated the cemetery over time. No stone with the name "Allen" is extant.
This house is the best landmark to know where the Allen Cemetery exists.
Behind this house and down through the pasture is the Allen Cemetery.
Just beyond the fence line, in the tree thicket is the Allen Cemetery.
The Allen family plot has long been erase from recognition by time and cattle grazing.


This summer we were busy re-painting the school and training our newest baker in the remote village of Drouin. The baker, Jean Claude, is aged 54 and supports his family of 6 children. His job baking for the school in Drouin is giving him some much needed resource and a skill set to help care for his family.

Art's near-magical power to work this mental miracle is the reason why we turn to it in times of stress–yet I'd be lying if I told you that my trip to the Met was the best thing about my day. As much as I love Bonnard, it was Central Park that truly refreshed me on Thursday, the same way it did in the weeks and months following my illness. I didn't fully understand how much the grey weather of the past few weeks had blunted my ability to rejoice in life until it went away and I felt the sunshine on my face. No artist, not even Pierre Bonnard at his most ravishing, can hope to top that….


Sun, Others Prep Java Integration Spec - InternetNews.
Several vendors led by Sun Microsystems have published a draft of Java Business Integration (JBI), a blueprint for facilitating Java software integration based on service-oriented architecture (SOA).
Also known as Java Specification Request (JSR) 208, JBI is a new container model for hosting pluggable integration as event-driven services in an SOA, according to David Chappell, vice president and chief technology evangelist for Sonic Software and member of the JSR 208 expert group.
The spec is being developed through the Java Community Process (JCP) by more than 22 vendors, including Novell, Oracle and Sonic. Apache, JBoss and IONA joined Wednesday, and while BEA and IBM had supported JSR 208, both left recently, according to Chappell.
The goal of the spec is to alleviate the pains associated with the integration of software from disparate vendors, providing greater portability and code reuse, both key characteristics of an SOA .
Integration developers will be able fit a JBI-compliant BPEL engine, an XSLT-based transformation engine or XPath-based routing services into one container, paring production costs.
At a glance, JBI might look as though it overlaps with functionality from the BPEL spec, which Microsoft, IBM and BEA Systems spearheaded along with many of the vendors associated with JBI. Chappell said this is a misnomer.
"JBI and BPEL are very complementary in that JBI provides a container environment in which to host a BPEL engine, which will allow that BPEL engine on to other integration services through an enterprise service bus," Chappell told internetnews.com. Sonic specializes in ESBs , which links applications via XML and Web services .
While this may be the case, the emphasis on BPEL seems to be the reason major J2EE software makers IBM and BEA left the JBI table. IBM spokesman Ronald Favali confirmed IBM is not supporting JSR 208.
But Chappell said the prospect of standardized integration seems to scare off some vendors who rely on Java-based application servers and messaging middleware.
"JSR 208 is looking to do standardized integration just as the J2EE spec standardized the app server space," Chappell said. "What that's going to lead to is an increased choice for customers and a reduced cost, and IBM, being one of the entrenched vendors in this space, probably feels threatened by this trend of standardization of integration components."
But IBM, considered by some analysts to be a leading standards driver in the software market, is buckling down on BPEL, which is now being shepherded by standards group OASIS.
"IBM is focusing efforts for business integration around other specs that are further along, such as BPEL," Favali told internetnews.com, adding that Big Blue remains an active, committed member to the JCP.
ZapThink analysts Ronald Schmelzer and Jason Bloomberg called the news positive for the Java community, but issued words of caution to the vendors. Their concern is that because the spec is Java-oriented, it will lock out others.
"There's nothing here that enables the development of heterogeneous SOAs that are deployed on a wide range of infrastructure types, including Microsoft, mainframe and non-Java environments," Schmelzer told internetnews.com. "It might be the foundation for Java-based SOA, which is great, but that will by definition only serve a part of the market need."
Schmelzer also argued the spec will be a tough sell without support from leading vendors IBM and BEA. "What if IBM and BEA come up with their own Java-based spec? They'll need to deal with that," he said.
Bloomberg said one of the reasons there seems to be so much clash between Sun and IBM with regard to Java is that IBM now positions itself as the leading Java software provider, while Sun argues it is still the leader. This has triggered "some kind of holy war" against the likes of IBM and BEA in which Sun is trying to "maintain its tenuous hold on Java."
"There's clearly a need for both JBI and its metadata-driven approach to business integration," Bloomberg told internetnews.com. "Should JBI become established, it will be the best way to support business integration metadata approaches, including WS-BPEL and the related output from the W3C Choreography Working Group on the Java platform.
"However, the political battles among vendors risk sinking JBI before it gains the traction it needs to be successful," he said.
While such political battles have been waged frequently during the last few years, recent events have bridged gaps separating Sun, IBM and Microsoft, generally considered the prevailing camps in software standards advancement. Sun, through its settlement with Microsoft, has joined Web Services standards efforts, such as WS-Notification and WS-Eventing.

Sphere's professionalism and dedication to finding the right talent for our business has kept us coming back over the years. Sphere have been a great partner to have as we have scaled the business.
Ed's whole business model is set up to move in an agile fashion and reflect the landscape of fast paced media and tech environments. Sphere are able to "tap into" passive candidate communities in a way that our other partners can't… I see Sphere as a game changer in this space and I'm glad we get to play the same game together.
One of the hardest working companies I have ever met. They are always available, happy to help and most importantly, they only have the best interests in mind for their clients. Their advice is outstanding, beyond my expectations, and I will definitely recommend working with Sphere.
I work with a number of award winning businesses and business leaders who have differentiated themselves from the competition through delivering consistently excellent customer experiences. I would not hesitate to (and don't) describe and use Sphere as the benchmark for customer centricity and customer experience leadership.
I love working with Sam and the Graduate team. She got to know me and my business, getting familiar with our roles and environment. As a result, Sam only introduces me to candidates that are a good fit for my team and who would thrive at the company.

At the other end of the spectrum, entry-level models are migrating toward a minimalist digital infotainment system that gives...

Specifies the color name string (for example, red) whose color definition structure you want returned.
Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether the planes must be contiguous.
Specifies the number of pixel values that are to be returned in the pixels_return array.
Specifies the number of pixels.
Specifies the number of plane masks that are to be returned in the plane masks array.
Specify the number of red, green, and blue planes. The value you pass must be nonnegative.
Specifies an array of pixel values.
Returns an array of pixel values.
Returns an array of plane masks.
Specifies the planes you want to free.
Return bit masks for the red, green, and blue planes.
Returns the closest RGB values provided by the hardware.
Specifies and returns the values actually used in the colormap.
The XAllocColor function allocates a read-only colormap entry corresponding to the closest RGB value supported by the hardware. XAllocColor returns the pixel value of the color closest to the specified RGB elements supported by the hardware and returns the RGB value actually used. The corresponding colormap cell is read-only. In addition, XAllocColor returns nonzero if it succeeded or zero if it failed. Multiple clients that request the same effective RGB value can be assigned the same read-only entry, thus allowing entries to be shared. When the last client deallocates a shared cell, it is deallocated. XAllocColor does not use or affect the flags in the XColor structure.
XAllocColor can generate a BadColor error.
The XAllocNamedColor function looks up the named color with respect to the screen that is associated with the specified colormap. It returns both the exact database definition and the closest color supported by the screen. The allocated color cell is read-only. The pixel value is returned in screen_def_return. If the color name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the result is implementation-dependent. Use of uppercase or lowercase does not matter. If screen_def_return and exact_def_return point to the same structure, the pixel field will be set correctly, but the color values are undefined. XAllocNamedColor returns nonzero if a cell is allocated; otherwise, it returns zero.
XAllocNamedColor can generate a BadColor error.
The XAllocColorCells function allocates read/write color cells. The number of colors must be positive and the number of planes nonnegative, or a BadValue error results. If ncolors and nplanes are requested, then ncolors pixels and nplane plane masks are returned. No mask will have any bits set to 1 in common with any other mask or with any of the pixels. By ORing together each pixel with zero or more masks, ncolors * 2 nplanes distinct pixels can be produced. All of these are allocated writable by the request. For GrayScale or PseudoColor, each mask has exactly one bit set to 1. For DirectColor, each has exactly three bits set to 1. If contig is True and if all masks are ORed together, a single contiguous set of bits set to 1 will be formed for GrayScale or PseudoColor and three contiguous sets of bits set to 1 (one within each pixel subfield) for DirectColor. The RGB values of the allocated entries are undefined. XAllocColorCells returns nonzero if it succeeded or zero if it failed.
XAllocColorCells can generate BadColor and BadValue errors.
The specified ncolors must be positive; and nreds, ngreens, and nblues must be nonnegative, or a BadValue error results. If ncolors colors, nreds reds, ngreens greens, and nblues blues are requested, ncolors pixels are returned; and the masks have nreds, ngreens, and nblues bits set to 1, respectively. If contig is True, each mask will have a contiguous set of bits set to 1. No mask will have any bits set to 1 in common with any other mask or with any of the pixels. For DirectColor, each mask will lie within the corresponding pixel subfield. By ORing together subsets of masks with each pixel value, ncolors * 2 (nreds+ngreens+nblues) distinct pixel values can be produced. All of these are allocated by the request. However, in the colormap, there are only ncolors * 2 nreds independent red entries, ncolors * 2 ngreens independent green entries, and ncolors * 2 nblues independent blue entries. This is true even for PseudoColor. When the colormap entry of a pixel value is changed (using XStoreColors, XStoreColor, or XStoreNamedColor), the pixel is decomposed according to the masks, and the corresponding independent entries are updated. XAllocColorPlanes returns nonzero if it succeeded or zero if it failed.
XAllocColorPlanes can generate BadColor and BadValue errors.
The XFreeColors function frees the cells represented by pixels whose values are in the pixels array. The planes argument should not have any bits set to 1 in common with any of the pixels. The set of all pixels is produced by ORing together subsets of the planes argument with the pixels. The request frees all of these pixels that were allocated by the client (using XAllocColor, XAllocNamedColor, XAllocColorCells, and XAllocColorPlanes). Note that freeing an individual pixel obtained from XAllocColorPlanes may not actually allow it to be reused until all of its related pixels are also freed. Similarly, a read-only entry is not actually freed until it has been freed by all clients, and if a client allocates the same read-only entry multiple times, it must free the entry that many times before the entry is actually freed.
All specified pixels that are allocated by the client in the colormap are freed, even if one or more pixels produce an error. If a specified pixel is not a valid index into the colormap, a BadValue error results. If a specified pixel is not allocated by the client (that is, is unallocated or is only allocated by another client) or if the colormap was created with all entries writable (by passing AllocAll to XCreateColormap), a BadAccess error results. If more than one pixel is in error, the one that gets reported is arbitrary.
XFreeColors can generate BadAccess, BadColor, and BadValue errors.

I don't want to sound negative here, but being in the hosting business I've got a fair idea on what sort of costs are associated to run a high volume site.
Moreso that over the last 15 years, that price has significantly dropped due to massive competition.
If you take into account the renewal cost of the Invision forum software with all features, 6 monthly renewals of "all invision" features is less than $20AU a month.
Given that the volume of traffic to this site has considerably dropped over the years, you could potentially run this site on a shared web host (like crazydomains) that provides php and mysql with unlimited disk space for less than the license renewal monthly costs.
Even if you needed more grunt with a VPS server to run it all would be well and truly under $150/M, which is the asking monthly price of a single Advertiser, it feels to me a little like a cash grab.
Even the Invision cloud based plans are quite cheap, and can be scaled to suit the active users. As a bonus, they do all patching/upgrades for you.
Sure there is other costs like domain name, ssl certificate (https/ssl is broken by the way), but none the less, costs associated can be compared to a couple of coffees
If this forum's running cost are over $500 a year, you're certainly doing something wrong.

I don't want to appear rude or unappreciative of this sites owner, but
If this was my site and I could not afford $500 per year then it would be time to hand it to someone who could
that's because the current arrangement is likely a lot more than Danny quoted, even if it's possible to set it up so that it is as Danny quoted, with a bit of stuffing around...
so stuff around then
this is all about money, right
so the first place to start is drop the overheads
not throw cash at the problem

I joined this forum many years ago and enjoyed many discussions as a forum member and then as a forum advertiser, I made the decision to cease my support as an advertiser because I simply never had any spare time to monitor my page and contribute.
This forum enjoyed huge growth in the early years with many friendships and business relationships forged, sure there were some stooges as in most forums but these people soon went by the wayside.
Even now this is the first time that I have been on here in ages, I hope the forum stays and people can continue to discuss all facets of these remarkable vehicles.

The XR6 Turbo is dead. Members with social connections will always be here but new members will be hard to come by and more likely than not they will be at the lower end of the income scale. As the cars come down in price it won't make sense to spend big money to upgrade them and the budget builds and tunes (probably) will begin. There is a huge amount of information here about these cars, best on the net. However, if it comes down to money, virtually no one will care or know if the site is lost forever. In the end as said by a few, someone will need to put their hand up. Just 2c
There are some great members here, really nice folk.

Lots of numbers quoted as to what the minimum cost could/should be to run a site like this and some pretty bold statements of it being a cash grab! I have no doubt that Chris has had an awful lot of enjoyment out of his cars and what this site has brought to that. However, if you look at all the hours that Chris has put in to this site v. the revenue stream, in anyone's eyes, it would have to be a pretty sh*tty business model. People tend not to do this to make money, they do it because it furthers the endeavours in motorsport, car development and a community of car freaks with the XR6T flavour.
I would fully support the user pays monthly or 6 monthly fee to keep this afloat and to bring it back to a model that is financially sustainable.

IMHO, Introducing a joining fee would most certainly immediately cease growth with new members, and it would just be the regulars still on here. The fact is the younger generation simply do not use forums, Instead they post in groups like Club FG LOL, I'm 22 and would probably be one the youngest active members on here, I have been using forums since 2008 (RC Cars / Speedway etc) Young people don't like to search the internet instead they will just post it on a Facebook group looking for an immediate answer rather than looking on a forum like this where the same topic has already been covered 10x over.

I'm happy to pay a nominal fee as I value the technical information and shared experiences this site is so rich in. As a resource it is amazing, and one that I've used and referred people to many times. Social media has its place but there's no way I'd use Facebook or any other social platform for the kind of info searches and research I want to do. Perhaps there's a role for some social media pages too, as a home for some of the chit chat stuff??
Should we try to get / keep the costs down, absolutely. Should we strive to remain compassionate / helpful / respectful in the discussions.....of course. But the world isn't perfect and everyone slips up every now and then. Our moderators have done a pretty good job in managing this over the years.
The Barra is going stronger than ever as far as development and modding goes, and will be around for many more years to come. If this site was to go, it would be a significant loss to many in my view.

My thoughts too - would prefer a voluntary method of supporting the site that's more consistent than the occasional donating option that's up at the moment.

The site is worth far more than that, but you can PM/email the OP your offers of purchasing, if you feel like throwing your cash around
It's worth more than that? Based on declining viewership and contribution, and a member-distributed email stating that the site costs more to run than it makes in ad revenue? Followed by opening it up for discussion to get users to donate money to the cause? I'm not one to use logic too often - but that would fly in the face of any common sense that I'm aware of. I'd love to see your positioning and justification for such a statement. I'll throw more money at it if it's seen to legitimately be worth more. It's only money.
You fired shots across my bow because I raised concerns that plague not only FXT, but MOST bulletin-based forums on the internet. hardtuned.net (nissansilvia.com), rexnet.com.au, carandimage.com, rslibertyclub.org, liberty.asn.au... all of them have suffered, or are in the throws of, a distended demise. The issue is that the mechanism that got people to your site 10 years ago isn't the same mechanism that will ensure your future success.
You might not like my attitude, most people don't. But it's led me to be very successful traversing through the online space and turning flailing businesses into burgeoning success stories that reignited a flame amongst the community.
You want some free advice? Distribute an email in confidence to the 15-20 most active and influential members (because that's what I'd do). Float the concept that they need to encourage discussion (firstly, because discussion means page views in the first instance [read: $$$$'s], and secondly it encourages new members to discuss things and that in turn generates more page views in a compound fashion). It's perfectly okay for somebody to have an opposing viewpoint to you without you turning to childish namecalling and "you shouldn't be here" remarks.
Stop being such a petty, whiny little bitch about your feelings (with that attitude, nobody wants you around... blah blah blah). Look at the damn facts in front of you. The owner is raising a white flag saying "something's gotta change here, and I'm open to suggestions". You seem to be of the opinion that nothing should change, and everything is fine just the way it is. Open your own damned chequebook if this forum is so emotionally connected to you and pay the "more than $10k" that it's worth - then you can run it into the ground in your own fashion.
The irony is that this whole discussion is the most active thread in a long time (engaging members of old and new), and you're attempting to immediately shut down discussion that goes down a path you don't feel comfortable with. Do you see the problem there?
Feel free to ban me, delete my posts, etc etc. The usual crap that people do to avoid confronting a burning issue. I've already started downloading all of the content (for many months now) to ensure the technical information never ends up in the "once were warriors" recycling bin of the internet. But I'd only action such an outcome if the site went offline one day, never to be seen again. So don't get your knickers in a knot; it's a backup plan that you'd be grateful for.

Yes, it's worth more than that because it's not for sale and the party who could sell it hasn't sold it to you already for that price, not based on any ROI calculations you may want to make. It has intrinsic and inherent value, even if you can't appreciate that. I'm not the owner, the OP is, so why would I be the one considering to buy it when I'm happy with the current ownership arrengment?
... I raised concerns that plague... all of them have suffered, or are in the throws of, a distended demise. The issue is that the mechanism that got people to your site 10 years ago isn't the same mechanism that will ensure your future success.
We are absolutely aware that the advertisement and local businesses support both are not great options going forward, hence this thread is a discussion of options going forward that don't include either of those options.
... my attitude... it's led me to be very successful traversing through the online space and turning flailing businesses into burgeoning success stories that reignited a flame amongst the community.
Talk is cheap. It's very easy to say this without any evidence to back it up. Sounds like to me.
It's perfectly okay for somebody to have an opposing viewpoint to you without you turning to childish namecalling and "you shouldn't be here" remarks.
Stop being such a petty, whiny little bitch about your feelings (with that attitude, nobody wants you around... blah blah blah).
Nobody said you shouldn't be here; nice straw man. The irony is that you come in here saying that you think we're childish and then offer to buy the place to fix it, then when that offer is rejected, you come back calling us all names again. I think you need to step back and take a good hard look at yourself.
Look at the damn facts in front of you. The owner is raising a white flag saying "something's gotta change here, and I'm open to suggestions". You seem to be of the opinion that nothing should change, and everything is fine just the way it is. .
Wrong with all of that, except for engaging a couple of old members. Firstly, there are other equally or larger active threads, currently. Secondly, I'm definitely not shutting it down as I was the one who suggested to the owner to have this discussion. This is why there's no problem here, only your attitude towards this community.
Feel free to ban me... it's a backup plan that you'd be grateful for.
Why would we ban (or any of the other stuff up there mentioned) you for having an opinion on a topic that we're gathering opinions on? That's not something that happens around here
We already backup the forum regularly, so we don't need your help in archiving it. Thanks, anyway.
Engagement is just a matter of making the place well known (it already is, for the most part, among the people who we want to join in on this site), then making it worthwhile coming to (it already is, for a multitude of reasons) and then make the worthwhile reasons sustainable and easy accessible. Those things are all much easier said than done and you (or anybody else) choosing to buy this forum, would not help with any of it.
Your attitude towards the current interested members and their community atmosphere is what we have not liked about what you've said. Your input is valuable, but it's nothing we haven't already thought of or considered.
No offer was rejected, as it was never reasonably considered nor discussed. Backing up my claims of "I've done well" with "here are some examples"? Who would care? And big-noting oneself by parading previous achievements in completely unrelated fields isn't going to endear me to anybody. I'm not here to win votes.
Engagement is just a matter of making the place well known... which you immediately follow up with "it already is". So let's check that box.
... making it worthwhile coming to... also check that box as "it already is" per your comment.
... make the worthwhile reasons sustainable and easy [sic] accessible. It's on the internet (on HA and scalable infrastructure); you put in an email address and a password of your choosing and you can see pretty much everything. So let's check that box as well.
As far as your recipe for success goes; it would appear everything is already in place. And don't conflate your own opinions with the collective "we". Given your recipe has been executed to nearly 100% - where are the balloons and confetti for celebrating a job-well-done?
You might back the forum up regularly, I don't think I've misunderstood that part nor alluded to any other behaviour. Rexnet was backed up regularly as well. You see where I'm going with that?
It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it (not the other way around). You've heard of a free market economy?
My attitude towards the current interested members and the community is that they need a champion to push their cause forward in a perilous market, and not somebody to rest on their laurels. Establishing pre-negotiated discounts and benefits not afforded to newcomers or those uninvolved. Advancement of understanding and experience amongst like-minded and free-spirited enthusiasts. Leveraging the market penetration sought by new vendors in the marketplace... basic branding, market positioning... etc etc.
People need someone who is going to advocate for their cause and passion. Bringing fresh minds into the fold boosts the status of those in before them, and on and on the pattern develops. Setting up some new subforums or putting a paywall on something that people have always gotten for free... it's just putting a bandaid on a shotgun wound.
I've enjoyed this (mostly) respectful discourse. Money is the thing that talks, though. The aforementioned bullsh*t walks.

At the end of 1942 nobody foresaw yet the Stalingrad defeat in January 1943 and the subsequent turn of the war. However, the eastern front noticeably stalled, the targets set in the swing of the spring could not be achieved, and the German propaganda ministry judged it advisable to reassure the hinterland that all is quiet on the eastern front. Thus on 22 October in the Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung, a million-circulation journal of the official propaganda, a report was published on an ordinary day of 19-year old Inge B., who came to the pacified German Kiev as the secretary of a German industrial company.
The elegant and proud Inge arrived at Kiev with the afternoon train from Lemberg, the seat of Distrikt Galizien. The article points out that the young Ukrainian porter recounts her in broken German how the retreating Soviets blew up the main street.
Inge stays at Hotel Kiev, which escaped the devastation of war. The skirt, pulled up unusually high in the good-moraled German press is legitimized by the intimate solitude of the hotel room, while the official German press read even in the intimate solitude of the hotel room bears witness to the good morals of Inge.
The fashion shops, like any other store in the German Kiev, are well provided with goods, although Inge, according to the article, has just declared "an antique shop" the outdated assortment of the Ukrainian hat store.
Fortunately, there are also stores exclusively offering German goods, which are even better provided than the other well-provided shops of Kiev.
Inge takes lunch in the restaurant of the Deutsches Haus. The restaurant with 2000 seats (!) is mainly attended by soldiers (check the hairstyle) and the members of the city administration, but the waiters are Ukrainian.
Going out to the beach after lunch is just part of an ordinary day. The brilliant white sand of the Dnieper shore does not fall behind that of the Baltic Sea. The flying ball just fitted into the cropping. The St. Andrew's Church, formerly the Museum of Atheism in the background was restored to ecclesiastical purposes by the Germans.
After beach, a coffee is a must. The terraces of the "Dnieper Steps" Café offer a stunning view of the river and the city.
Here ends the spectacular consumption, intended for the German readers. In the last picture Inge goes to work. Here we do not see her workplace – which, being an industrial company, is likely a secret even to the German readers – but the building which must inevitably figure in any report on the German Kiev: the headquarters of the Generalkommissariat Ukraine at Bismarckstrasse.
In Soviet times the building was the headquarters of the Ukrainian Communist Party, and now the office of the President of Ukraine. In the time montage by Sergei Larenkov about the occupied and modern Kiev, the flags of the independent Ukrainian state are fluttering across that of the former ally. The history goes on.

A 74-Year-Old Man Was Arrested For Threatening To Shoot And Bomb LGBTQ Groups And Attack NYC Pride
Robert Fehring allegedly threatened to use "firepower" against partygoers at the 2021 New York City Pride March that would make the 2016 Orlando Pulse Nightclub mass shooting "look like a cakewalk."

Crowds gather to watch the 2021 New York City Pride March.
A New York man was arrested and charged on Monday for threatening to attack partygoers at the 2021 New York City Pride March with "firepower" that would "make the 2016 Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting look like a cakewalk."
Robert Fehring, a 74-year-old resident of Bayport, New York, allegedly mailed a series of letters to LGBTQ organizations, businesses, and individuals between May and September this year, threatening to shoot and bomb them, according to a criminal complaint unsealed in federal court.
In a letter sent on June 25 to the organizer of a pride event in East Meadow, New York, Fehring allegedly wrote: "[W]e were right there you…FREAK!!! They couldn't get a shot off at you, slithering around the back stage area like a snake. Too many cops. Very disappointed. But your time has come. ... They are out to KILL you….and your boyfriend. You are being watched. No matter how long it takes, you will be taken out…. high-powered bullet…. bomb….knife…. whatever it takes."
According to the complaint, Fehring marked the letter's envelope with a "confidential stamp," which he later explained to investigators after waiving his Miranda Rights was something he often did to ensure the letters were taken seriously by the recipients.
The stamp was also included with a May 20 letter Fehring allegedly sent to the executive director of an LGBTQ event company. That slur-filled letter, according to the complaint, read in part: "WE WARN YOU THAT THERE WILL BE RADIO-CONT[R]OLLED DEVICES PLACED AT NUMEROUS STRATEGIC PLACES, AND FIREPOWER AIMED AT YOU FROM OTHER STRATEGIC PLACES. WE'VE HAD ENOUGH!!! THIS WILL MAKE THE 2016 ORLANDO PULSE NIGHTCLUB SHOOTING LOOK LIKE A CAKEWALK."
The Pulse Nightclub attack in Orlando, one of the deadliest mass shootings in US history, occurred on June 12, 2016, when a gunman opened fire on a crowd inside the gay venue, killing 49 people and wounding dozens of others.
Agents from the FBI's Civil Rights Squad and the New York Joint Terrorism Task Force searched Fehring's Bayport home on Nov. 18. There, according to the complaint, they recovered photographs from a June 2021 pride event in East Meadow, two loaded shotguns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, two stun guns, "and a stamped envelope addressed to an LGBTQ+ affiliated attorney containing the remains of a dead bird."
"Fehring's alleged threats to members of the LGBTQ+ community were not only appalling, but dangerous, despite the fact he hadn't yet acted on his purported intentions," FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Michael Driscoll said in a statement.
Authorities said Fehring has been sending letters threatening violence with guns and explosives to organizations and businesses associated with the LGBTQ+ community, as well as government agencies, since 2013.
In a statement Monday, NYC Pride executive director Sandra Pérez said the organization takes violent threats seriously.
"We received threatening letters earlier this year and reported them. We appreciate the work of the Justice Department in investigating this situation," she said. "We are cooperating in any way we can, and we remain committed to the safety and well-being of the LGBTQIA+ community."
An attorney for Fehring could not immediately be reached for comment.

Lectures, expository and practical, on the book of Revelation, Volym 2

than when it was an association avowedly Pagan. In all the different periods of its existence, it has been actuated by the spirit of a devil; and this kind of spirit was never more completely infused into it, than when it became nominally Christian. As Satan is always the most dangerous adversary when he transforms himself into an angel of light, so this empire became the most dangerous enemy to the church when she began to apprehend that she had least reason to suspect his designs. So completely had it imbibed the spirit of a devil, after it assumed the name of a Christian power, that it is not only called a dragon, but the devil and Satan.
This dragon is called great, because, the empire of which he is the symbol was extensive and powerful. At the commencement of the period of this prophecy it included the whole of the civilized world; and no power on earth was able to contend with it. He is also called a red dragon, because from the beginning to the close of its existence it was a warlike association; all the periods of its history are marked by the strongest disposition for blood and violence. It has been supposed, that there is an allusion here to the purple and scarlet robes of the emperors, and others high in office, among the Romans, which sometimes had the figure of a dragon emblazoned upon them. It is also known, that the ancient Romans and some other nations fought under the banner of a dragon. But whatever be the object from which the allusion is borrowed, we cannot be at any loss to perceive, that it is the immediate design of the figure to symbolize the bloody, cruel, and ferocious disposition of the Roman state.
Having mentioned the general appearance, the prophet proceeds to a more particular account of this dragon, and informs us that he had seven heads and ten horns. The heads and horns of the dragon have generally been understood of the different forms of government by which the Roman state had been ruled, and the different independent principalities into which it was divided, after the imperial government was pulled down. But as the dragon-state of the empire passed away be
fore any of these principalities started into existence, whence is it that the dragon is represented as having ten horns as well as seven heads?—In answer to this inquiry it may be remarked, that this part of the representation was necessary in order to prevent misconceptions both in the mind of the prophet and of his readers. Had the dragon been destitute of horns, his appearance would have impressed the mind with the idea, that when the imperial government was dissolved, the church would no more be corrupted or persecuted by the state. But when this dragon was furnished with ten different horns, which were the symbols of secular states that would rise up when the imperial government fell down, we see from this part of the representation, that the church would no sooner be delivered out of the hands of one adversary, than she would fall into the hands of another. These horns are not to be understood of principalities which were co-existent with the dragon. It was impossible that the crowns could sit both upon the heads and the horns at one and the same time. Hence, the former are represented as being crowned, but not the latter. Though the dominant state of the horns does not take place till the beast of the sea described in chap. xiii. lifts his heads above the waters, yet as that beast is the symbol of the different principalities of Papal Europe, the horns, which are also the symbols of these principalities, are first represented as being in the head of the dragon, because it was from among the ruins of the dragonstate of the empire, that all these principalities were to start into existence. When we think upon the dominant state of the horns, we must conceive of them as transferred from the dragon to the beast of the sea; and, therefore, what may be farther necessary for explaining this part of the symbol, will come more directly before us in the illustration of the following chapter. We shall confine our observations at present to the heads of the dragon.
This symbolical dragon had no fewer than seven heads, which in chap. xvii. 9, 10. are explained to have a double signification. They are intended to symbolize the seat of this
draconic government.
The seven heads are seven mountains
on which the woman sitteth,' ver. 9. They are likewise seven kings or forms of government in this seven-hilled city, ver. 10. The figure is natural and striking. In all countries, the head has been figuratively used for that which bears rule. It is the chief and uppermost part, and that which regulates all the motions of the body. Hence the head of a state must be the government of the state, or those that are invested with supreme authority in it. Here the heads are not meant of rulers, but of the law or constitution, according to which all the rule in the country is exercised. They are no doubt called kings; but what the prophet has stated respecting them is sufficient to shew, that it is not seven different individuals clothed with princely authority that are intended; ' two are fallen,' says he, ' and one is, and the other is not yet come.' If we understand them of kings literally, the declaration will not be true; because all the kings of the Roman state had fallen many hundred years before the birth of John. If we understand them of emperors, it will be equally impossible to shew its consistency; for though only one emperor was reigning at the time in which the apostle was writing, he was not followed by an individual only, but by a succession in the throne for a period of more than three hundred years. But if we understand the heads as denoting those varied forms of government to which the Roman people were subjected, the language of the prophet will appear to be consistent and full of meaning.
We cannot be at a loss to determine what particular forms of government these heads are intended to symbolize, as two of the Roman historians have given us a summary account of the rule which had been among them, prior to the time in which the imperial form was established. One of these historians wrote only a few years before the time when John was favoured with this vision, and he assures us, that Rome was first governed by kings, then by consuls, dictators, decemvirs, and military tribunes with consular authority. These five heads were now
VOL. II.
Tacit. Annal. lib. I. sect. 1.
fallen; as operative forms of government they had passed away. In the days of John, the empire was subsisting in its sixth or imperial head, which was to be succeeded by the Papal and last form of its government.*
This monstrous dragon is finally described from the destructive influence of his tail, as in the beginning of ver. 4., And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. The head is the most formidable part of the natural dragon. The size of the head is enormous; hence the vast length and compass of the jaws. These last again are almost continually open; and as the tongue is forked, and the eye has a continued red fiery glare, you cannot conceive of any animal or reptile whose appearance is more terrific. But the hinder part or tail of the ordinary dragon is remarkable only for its length; in this dragon the tail was equally dangerous as the head. Immeasurable as is the distance of one star from another, by this monstrous tail he stretched through the regions of space, and swept away a third part of the stars of the sky. The tail is the symbol of blandishment and of false doc
* The regal or kingly government commenced with the foundation of Rome, and continued about 250 years. It was terminated in Tarquinius Superbus, the last of the Roman kings, 509 years before the birth of Christ.—The consular government was introduced by Lucius Junius Brutus, and, with frequent interruptions, it was continued till the triumvirate of Augustus, Anthony, and Lepidus, about 43 years before Christ. The first that filled the office of dictator was Titus Lartius Flavius, soon after the expulsion of the kings.-The decemviral power was instituted about 50 years later. This form of government was of very short duration; it was so unpopular that it was put down in three years after it had been established.-The military tribunes with consular authority were elected a few years after; but in the space of 70 years this office was also abolished, and consuls were again elected for the government of the state. All these were succeeded by the imperial, which continued about 500 years, till it was overthrown by the tribes of the North, and Europe was parcelled out among a multitude of Gothic princes. Clark's Dissertation on the Dragon, &c.
+ The fabulous dragon of the ancient Greeks and Romans was represented as the most formidable of all monsters. He was described as possessing attributes which bordered upon those of a divinity. His form was somewhat like a serpent, only it was furnished both with wings and with feet. The size was enormous, and his force destructive and irresistible. His flight was compared to that of an eagle, and sometimes to the velocity of lightning; and the brilliancy of his eyes was so remarkable, that the night was converted into day wherever this monster directed his course. To inspire their enemies with terror, the Romans, Persians, and other nations, frequently fought under banners in which the form of a dragon was the principal device.-Rees' Cyclopædia, word Draco.
trine; accordingly, when the stars were cast down by the tail, we are led to conceive of the numerous courtly favours and deep political intrigues by which the ministers of religion were corrupted, and fell from their place in the heavens of the church, while they rose to power and grandeur in the earth, and made, way for the manifestation of the Man of Sin, described in the following chapter, under the emblem of a twohorned beast which rose up out of the earth.-From these verses it appears,
1st, That the church is a truly honourable association. She is here represented under the idea of a queen; and, corresponding with this dignity of station, she has her crown, her robes of state, and all the insignia of regal power and authority. These emblems of her dignified rank are of the very highest order. Her crown is a constellation of the brightest stars, the drapery of her robe is formed by the beams of the sun, and her feet are placed on the moon, as the pedestal of her throne. 2d, That earthly things are of small consideration with the saints. This woman had the moon under her feet. Paul accounted all things, even the very best that this world could af ford, but loss and dung, for the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ his Lord.
3d, That the apostolic doctrine, worship, discipline, and government, are the true ornaments of the church. Possessed of these, whether the society be great or small, it is adorned with a crown of twelve stars; but when once they are lost, whatever be the splendour of the exterior appearance of that body, it is either a mere worldly association or a synagogue of Satan.
4th, That the spirit and the profession, both of individuals and of public bodies, may be at open variance with each other. Here, under the mask of a profession of regard to Christ and his interest, a dragon got into the heavens of the visible church. But as no change of circumstances can convert a devil, or make a worldly association breathe any other spirit than that which is worldly, the Roman empire, after it became nominally Christian, continued, as before, to be actuated by the spirit of

Rep. Raul Ruiz tests positive for COVID-19 ahead of Biden inauguration
Maria Sestito
U.S. Rep. Raul Ruiz announced Tuesday that he tested positive for COVID-19, a day before the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
Ruiz, D-Palm Desert, said in a prepared statement written from Washington, D.C., that he has mild symptoms and is self-isolating.
"In preparation for attending the inauguration of President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris, I have taken multiple COVID-19 tests over the last 72 hours," Ruiz said. "After receiving an initial negative result over the weekend, this morning I tested positive for COVID- 19. While I do have mild symptoms, overall I am feeling well and will self-isolate for the recommended time. Thank you everyone for the well wishes."
Ruiz was at the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6 when pro-Trump rioters breached the building. The mob temporarily halted the process of certifying the Electoral College votes, sending members of Congress into lockdown in secure locations within the Capitol complex, where officials say they may have been exposed to the virus.
Reps. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J., and Brad Schneider, D-Ill., also have tested positive for the coronavirus in the days after the Capitol attack.
"I was forced to spend several hours in a secure but confined location with dozens of other members of Congress," Schneider said in a statement issued last week. "Several Republican lawmakers in the room adamantly refused to wear a mask ... even when politely asked by their colleagues."
Ruiz's staff said Tuesday afternoon that they didn't know whether or not his positive test was related to the events on Capitol Hill last week.
In recounting the incident last week, Ruiz told The Desert Sun that he'd started thinking in terms of a "mass shooter" situation.
"I prayed to God," he said. "There were other members who started praying."
Ruiz said that earlier in the day he had been in the U.S. House of Representatives gallery while debate was beginning over Republicans' unfounded challenge to the vote. From there, Ruiz "noticed that the Capitol police started speaking into their walkie-talkies. They started moving. Then things started escalating."
He said the police "started instructing us on what to do and (to) be prepared to take cover or wear a gas mask." He said he was in communication with his wife to reassure her that he was safe, but then he got a call from his mom asking about the situation.
"If she knew, then I figured things were getting out of hand outside," he continued.

Ruiz, who also is a doctor, said his medical training quickly kicked in, and he worked with the Capitol physician to ensure elderly and diabetic members of Congress were cared for as they were escorted to a safer area.
He said later in a Facebook Live address that he and his colleagues were sheltered-in-place for seven hours before returning to the floor to continue the ratification of the Electoral College votes. He also thanked those who reached out enquiring about his safety.
"Thank you very much for all your concern," Ruiz said on Jan. 6. "Stay strong. We will persevere. We will get through this better. We will be like the phoenix that rises from this situation only to be wiser and more dedicated."

Q: Get item from js object with partially known key Let's say you dont know the numbers before the letter here.
var obj = {'1234 x': 1, '32145 y': 2}

How would you retrieve the value 1 from this object.
The normal way of doing this would be:
obj['1234 x'] // 1

But what if you only knew part of the key: 'x' (the part that comes after the first space)
var key = '1234 x',
    known_key = key.split(' ')[0] // 'x'

How would you be able to retrieve this value?
obj['% ' + known_key] // 1
// % represents all possible strings

A: Use a filter.
Retrieve the key and value

function findObject(obj, known_key) {
  return Object.fromEntries(
    Object.entries(obj)
    .filter(e =>
      e[0].substr(e[0].indexOf(' ') + 1) == known_key
    )
  )
}

var object = {
    '1234 x': 1,
    '32145 y': 2,
    '987 y': 3
  },
  key = 'y'

console.log(
  findObject(object, key) // {'32145 y': 2, '987 y': 3}
)

Retrieve the value

function findValue(obj, known_key) {
  return Object.entries(obj)
  .filter(e =>
    e[0].substr(e[0].indexOf(' ') + 1) == known_key
  )
  .map(e => e[1])
}

var object = {
    '1234 x': 1,
    '32145 y': 2,
    '987 y': 3
  },
  key = 'y'

console.log(
  findValue(object, key) // [2, 3]
)

A: Filter using endsWith  - you can substitute with includes to find the string anywhere

const findPartial = (obj,str) => Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(obj)
  .filter(([key, val]) => key.endsWith(str)));

const obj = {
  '1234 x': 1,
  '32145 y': 2
}
console.log(
  findPartial(obj, ' y')

Among the seven species of coccidia that are able to infect chickens, Eimeria praecox is described as the less pathogenic. Its effect on growth and health is even controversial and its interest for vaccination has been questioned (Williams 2000 and 2002). When a side effect due to the infection with E .praecox is described, it is only noticed with high levels of infection (Long 1968; Jorgensen et al. 1997; Williams 1998).
Répérant, J. M.; Dardi, M.; Pagès, M.; Thomas-Hénaff, M.
Pathogenicity of Eimeria praecox was clearly demonstrated in this study, and the negative effect on weight gain was observed from the lowest infective dose. When it was inoculated with E. acervulina with lowest infective dose, its side effect on growth was additive to the later and it was significantly raised compared to an infection with E. acervulina alone. Although it was not possible to measure the impact of an infection with E. praecox in field conditions, because of the absence of typical lesions reflecting the intensity of infection, this species should be taken into account in a prophylactic approach to perform an optimal protection of poultry.


Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling raised over $50,000 in the first quarter of his campaign for re-election.
NORWALK — The fundraising for mayor campaigns is in full swing, with both candidates filing financial disclosure forms ahead of the April 10 deadline.
Mayor Harry Rilling, a Democrat, raised a total of $51,755 from campaign contributions, including $34,875 in individual contributions from Jan. 1 through March 31, according to campaign finance disclosure statements filed with the Town Clerk's Office.
Lisa Brinton, who is running an independent campaign for mayor, took in a total of $10,875 during that same period, according to its campaign finance disclosure statements. Brinton entered the quarter with an additional $1,514 on hand.
Rilling received funding from committees including $1,500 from the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 478 PAC, based in Hamden, $1,500 from Carpenters Local Union No. 326 PAC, based in Yalesville, and $1,500 from UA Plumbers and Steamfitters based in Meriden.
Some of his largest donors included well-known lawyers, developers and business owners.
Those who donated $1,000 include: Thomas Rich, an executive at F.D. Rich, which owns multiple South Norwalk properties; Paul Garavel, of Garavel Auto Group, on Westport Avenue; Phil Mendence of Crystal Ice, a dry ice company on Commerce Street; Albert Feinstein, a New-York City attorney; Yulia Sergienko of Brooklyn; John Stafstrom, an attorney from Pullman and Comley; William Hennessey, an attorney at Carmody Torrance Sandak & Hennessey, LLP; Jason Enters of EDG Properties; and Bryan Dietz of EDG Properties.
Brinton's $1,000 donors include real estate developer Jason Milligan, of New Canaan, who is currently in litigation with the city over his purchase of properties on Wall Street; Nancy Brinton of Scottsdale, Arizona; Ernest DesRochers of NorthMarq Capital; Lisa Henderson; and Volckert Van Reesema.
Brinton took in more than 70 individual contributions, while Rilling brought in around 200. Brinton had just under 90 percent of her contributions come from Norwalk-based donors, while Rilling had around 60 percent of his contributions from those in Norwalk.
About three dozen city employees, notably firefighters, contributed to Rillings campaign, most giving $30.
Brinton said that she thinks the fundraising numbers speak for themselves.

-Moscow: Police Raid Church of Scientology–Should We Care?
by Dr. D ~ October 8th, 2011
(Cover of What Is Scientology?)
Police began a a raid and a search of the Church of Scientology offices in Moscow, Russia on Thursday Oct.6. According to the Russian news agency Interfax:
The search could be part of a criminal investigation by the Moscow region's Investigative Committee into the distribution of scientology literature of the extremist nature, the source said.
"Experts have made the conclusion that founder of Scientology Ron Hubbard's books and booklets aim to form an isolated social group, whose members are trained to perform their functions impeccably and most of whom are in a struggle with the rest of the world."
In June, a court in a Moscow banned several books by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard as dangerous. At the time the court ruled that "What is Scientology?" and other L. Ron Hubbard books "contain calls for extremist activities."
It is not clear why the police raided the Church and officials have not been forthcoming with the purpose or parameters of their investigation.
Response: Should we care? After all Scientology is a 'non-Christian cult' and not exactly a mainline church. In fact some doubt that it should be classified as a 'church' or religion at all.
Yes, we should.
Freedom of religion in Russia is tenuous at best. Today they are coming for the scientologists and tomorrow it might be the Mormons. We might even be tempted to say 'good rid ends.' But where does it stop and where is the protection for churches that may be somewhat out of the 'Orthodox' mainstream in Russia? As it stands several charismatic churches in Russia have run into legal difficulties getting official government recognition.
The fact is that 'freedom of religion ' and the relationship between churches and state is still in flux and far from being clearly defined in Russia. This gives legal authorities room to act or react according to their own views or opinions. The 'take down' of the Scientology offices may set a dangerous precedence for minority religions in Russia. *Top

You want to become successful at something.
The reason why most people do not become successful.
Knowledge is only good if you use it.
You know what you need to do, so don't think about it, just do it.
With all the great athletes I have encountered, I noticed a quality that they all share.
They all do what they need to do, when they need to do it, whether they feel like it or not.
If you're a runner, just start running.
If you're in sales, just start making those calls.
If you're a student, just start studying.
Five birds are sitting on a wire.
Three of them decide to fly off.
How many birds are left?
Just because the three birds decided to fly off, doesn't mean they did.
What are you putting off doing today?
Remember…Motivation is not a feeling, it's an ACTION.
Vince Lombardi said that the quality of someone's life is directly related to that person's commitment to excellence and victory.
Do you want to be excellent and victorious at tennis, painting or sales? How about relationships?
Skills are important, but your attitude is the key.
Do you have the ability inside you to become great?
Of course you do. You just have to start taking action. Start acting how you want to become and you will start to become the way you act.
You can only become as great as your self image, so start being your own fan – your own inner coach instead of inner critic.

God of War: Ghost of Sparta
Rate this video game
God of War: Ghost of Sparta is a third person action-adventure video game developed by Ready at Dawn and Santa Monica Studio, and published by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE). It was first released for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld console on November 2, 2010. The game is the sixth installment in the God of War series and the fourth chronologically.
A twist from the main story familiar to most of the fans. Welcome to the Domain of Death ruled by God Thanatos who imprisoned the younger brother of Kratos, Deimos. Nice refreshment to standard "Kratos vs. Zeus" conflict... PGC
Loosely based on Greek mythology, Ghost of Sparta is set in ancient Greece with vengeance as its central motif. The player controls the protagonist Kratos, the God of War. Kratos is still haunted by the visions of his mortal past and decides to explore his origins.
Ghost of Sparta received praise for its story, gameplay, and graphics. Several critics agree that it is the best-looking game on the PSP. Others have compared the overall game to those on the PlayStation 3, and some have said that the graphics are better than those of the PlayStation 2. Ghost of Sparta received several awards, including "Best Handheld Game", "Best PSP Game", and "PSP Game of Show" at the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), and "Best Handheld Game" at the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards. By June 2012, it had sold almost 1.2 million copies worldwide. Together with Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta was remastered and released on September 13, 2011, as part of the God of War: Origins Collection and the remastered version was re-released on August 28, 2012, as part of the God of War Saga, both for the PlayStation 3.
A series of flashbacks reveals that an oracle had foretold that the demise of Olympus would come not by the revenge of the Titans, who had been imprisoned after the Great War, but by a marked warrior. The Olympians Zeus and Ares believed this warrior to be Deimos, the brother of Kratos, due to his strange birthmarks. Ares interrupted the childhood training of Kratos and Deimos, with Athena on hand, and kidnapped Deimos. Kratos attempted to stop Ares, but was swept aside and subsequently scarred across his right eye by the Olympian. Athena stopped Ares from killing Kratos, knowing his eventual destiny. Taken to Death's Domain, Deimos was imprisoned and tortured by Thanatos. In honor of his sibling, Kratos marked himself with a red tattoo, identical to his brother's birthmark.
Years later, when the game begins, Kratos has taken Ares' place as the new God of War on Mount Olympus. Still haunted by visions of his mortal past, Kratos decides against Athena's advice to explore his past and travels to the Temple of Poseidon, located within the city of Atlantis. The sea monster, Scylla, attacks and destroys Kratos' vessel off the coast of Atlantis, although the Spartan drives the beast off...
The protagonist of the game is Kratos (voiced by Terrence C. Carson), the God of War after having killed the former, Ares (who appears in flashbacks and voiced by Steven Blum).
Other characters include:
Athena (Erin Torpey), the Goddess of Wisdom who warns Kratos about exploring his past
Deimos (Mark Deklin), the younger brother of Kratos and imprisoned and tortured in the Domain of Death
Thanatos (Arthur Burghardt), the God of Death and main antagonist
Callisto (Deanna Hurstold), the mother of Kratos and Deimos
Thera (Dee Dee Rescher), a Titan imprisoned beneath the Methana Volcano
and Erinys (Erin Torpey and Jennifer Hale), Thanatos' daughter
Minor characters include:
Lanaeus (Fred Tatasciore); a servant of Poseidon
King Midas (Fred Tatasciore), a king whose touch will turn anything to gold
the gravedigger (Paul Eiding), who warns Kratos to not alienate the gods
a loyal Spartan soldier (Gideon Emery)
and Poseidon (Gideon Emery), the God of the Sea
The gameplay of God of War: Ghost of Sparta resembles that of the previous installments. It is a third-person single player video game viewed from a fixed camera perspective. The player controls the character Kratos in combo-based combat, platforming, and puzzle game elements, and battles foes who primarily stem from Greek mythology, including minotaurs, cyclopes, harpies, Gorgons, and satyrs. The undead legionnaires, keres wraiths, geryons, automatons, Boreas beasts, and Triton warriors were influenced by the mythology, but created specifically for the game.
Platforming elements require the player to climb walls, jump across chasms, swing on ropes, and balance across beams to proceed through sections of the game. Some puzzles are simple, such as moving a box so that the player can use it to access a pathway unreachable with normal jumping, but others are more complex, such as finding several items across different areas of the game to unlock one door. The game features new weapons, magical powers, and navigational abilities not present in previous games and has been cited as featuring 25 percent more gameplay than God of War: Chains of Olympus.

Sometimes it feels like everybody around you is a moron. You enjoy the company of other people, especially those who challenge you and embark upon difficult and intellectually juicy debates, but so often they are infuriatingly slow.
It's usually more efficient when you get to be in charge: you absolutely cannot let anybody else drive, and are unlikely to follow somebody else's advice blindly.
There are lots of paths you could have taken in life, and chances are you would have excelled in most of them, but you're fine where you are because to be honest, it's sometimes too frustrating to overcome all the ridiculous hurdles in your way.
Why bother applying yourself to something worth your time, when you can't seem to shake the idiots no matter where you are? Nothing makes your toes curl like watching somebody try and put up a tent, finish a puzzle, or follow a recipe incorrectly.


Rotherham MP Sarah Champion has backed the PrePay Rip Off campaign that aims to clamp down on the cost of prepayment meters as a means of paying energy bills. Citizens Advice Bureau revealed that pre-payment meter customers on average pay £226 a year extra for the cost of their energy compared to the cheapest direct debit tariff. In Rotherham, with 1 in 5 prepayment meter users already in fuel poverty, this amounts to an extra £2,083,042 a year being taken from 9,217 Rotherham households who can least afford it.
The campaign is demanding action from the big six energy companies and the Government to cut the cost of prepayment meters in line with the cheapest direct debit fuel tariffs, end debt collection by energy companies during the winter and ensure homes with pensioners, disabled people and children do not have prepayment meters fitted.
"It is unacceptable that the poorest and most vulnerable in Rotherham are forced to pay the most for their energy bills when the cost of energy is falling. I will continue to call for real action in the energy market to pass on the savings which thousands of families in my constituency deserve. This Prepay Rip Off must end now."


Believe me, if my staff didn't like cleaning with aqueous ozone, I wouldn't use it. I won't throw new equipment in there if they won't use it. They're using it - and loving it.
"A while ago I tried to switch from chemicals using a product called Activeion. It didn't work worth squat," recalls Zerwas. "Then, three years ago my supplier asked me to try another alternative to chemicals, Tersano's aqueous ozone. I was skeptical, of course, because of my previous experience, but I agreed to give it a shot. I'm glad I did because it's fantastic."
Zerwas leads a staff of 41 in cleaning all eight school buildings in the St. Michael/Albertville school district in central Minnesota. From classrooms to cafeterias, offices to bathrooms, Zerwas' staff works three shifts cleaning over 1.5 million square feet. "I put the dispenser in our high school first — our toughest building to clean. I told our head custodian to try it and let me know how he likes it. He loved it—and his crew gave it glowing reviews."
Zerwas' team uses the aqueous ozone to clean stainless steel, porcelain, tile, granite, glass and just about any other hard surface. "We actually really like what it does to our carpets," shares Zerwas. "We use the snot out of it on all our carpets. The old chemicals would leave carpets sticky and crunchy. This leaves them feeling soft and smelling clean with no residue."
"The toughest areas to clean are the weight rooms, wrestling rooms, and gymnastics areas," he explains. "The kids are rolling all over with their skin touching the mats. When we used chemicals to clean the mats, the kids would end-up with all sorts of skin issues and fungus problems. Since we switched to aqueous ozone, there have been no skin disorders. The issues have disappeared."
Zerwas is proud of embracing new technologies and processes like switching from old school chemicals to new style stabilized aqueous ozone. "When other districts tour our district, I take them to our bathrooms and ask them what they smell. They say 'nothing.' I say 'Exactly!' Clean is the absence of odor—including perfumes. Our bathrooms simply smell fresh."
Does Zerwas think his staff will ever want to switch back to chemicals? "I don't think so," he reflects. "When we moved from cleaning just the high school to three or four more buildings with aqueous ozone, I gave staff the choice of stopping at just the three or four buildings — or using it in all eight of our buildings. They told me to go all in and that's just what we've done."


When our daily drama is over, it's time to let loose and whip up "anything but the kitchen sink" cookies which comprises of literally everything but the kitchen sink. Hahs. I'm not so much a cookie fan compared to cakes but I love making them as it feels the air with love~ It is also practically quite idiot proof. Only question is how can you make an out of this world cookie vs a sub-par one. Answer is simple: Taste, experiment, alter, feedback. You then multiply this equation until you arrive at a decent number and pray that the number is not as shocking as the figure on your tax slip.
Here's the comeback of the cookie dough and the story behind my decision to whip this up! The name "everything but the kitchen sink' cookie kept replaying and replaying in my head as I recall one of the seasons in Buddy Valastro's TV serial " The Next Great Baker". How fascinating can that be. Stacy Adimando, author of The Cookiepedia encourages daring bakers to raid their pantries for crazy combos that combine the sweet and salty component all in one darn cookie. YES, check out the raw batter below. Clearly the ratio of batter to ingredients is OFF!
Chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies are all cliches cookies for now. Please, lets us all be crazy, let our kitchenaids lose and bring it on for salty chips inspired cookies. Suggested ratio for sweet and salty is 1: 1.5. "These cookies work on the principle that salt and sugar have a natural affinity towards one another". I concur! Ever since I had a taste of salted caramel cheesecake, sweet and salty to me is like a match made in heaven. You won't believe it until you taste it. That's why it's always important to taste before you judge though (sensory glands) do play a part in the initial stages.
It is quite rare to find unhealthy savory snacks (Potato chips, dips, biscuits, bars) in my house because most of the time there is no one home to consume them and even if there is, we do not consume the entire packet of chips at one sitting. But when you are talking about sweet snacks such as chocolates, dried fruits, cereals, Ho Ho Ho, there is abundance.
The existence of this cookie comprised of ingredient planning on my notebook and a trip round the entire house to handpick the stuff to be included into the batter. I have decided to call this the A-Z cookie because it comprises 26 different ingredients in alphabetical order.
