John, the beloved disciple, shares with us a conversation. It's between the risen Jesus and sort of the Lead Disciple, Peter after they ate bread and fish together. This was a fireside talk with Jesus about church leadership.
Much emphasis has been placed the verbs for "love" here. There's phileo used and agapao, but all throughout John's Gospel, John has used these verbs interchangeably and so it would be a mistake to make much of this. What's actually more significant is the nuance Jesus uses with the words "feed/lambs" in v. 15, "tend/sheep" in v. 16, and feed/sheep in v. 17. THOSE verbs matter.
Ministry, and leadership is described by a total, and full and holistic caring of the flock of God. I might be Lead Pastor of Redemption Church today, but this is not my church. Redemption is a part of Christ's church. All ministers or pastors are stewards of a church that is not theirs or ours but HIS.
Apparently, Peter got this message because in his First Letter he wrote, "Shepherd the flock of God that is among you"—seems like he took the words of Jesus very seriously.
Now, out of everything Jesus could have said to Peter in the whole world, have you ever thought about why Jesus said this? Why did he say the same thing three times—thrice?
Jesus could have given Peter three different charges.
Instead, he says the same thing three times not so much to say what Peter should do but the kind of leader and disciple Peter is to be. In other words, the ministry is not a task list or job description so much as a way of being and living and acting in the world. Jesus is telling Peter, and is charging Christian leaders with something a whole lot more challenging than crossing off a ministry checklist.
Peter, "Tend my lambs, shepherd my sheep, tend my sheep." Peter, shepherd. Peter, I am the "Good Shepherd," let me lead you in the way of being and leading more like me. Peter, the whole Old Testament is full of me identifying as the True Shepherd who watches over my people, over and against all the false shepherds and hired hands who don't. Peter, "the Lord is your shepherd, you shall not want (Psalm 23), I am the God who has saved you and has called you and who loves you and who leads you and who guides you, so shepherd others as I am shepherding you.
Why did Jesus press this home so much to Peter? There are many things pastors and elders have to focus on in leading a church. You've got to preach the gospel every week, you've got to do this and that, but it's easy to get caught up in our duties and responsibilities. Check, I'm doing what I gotta do. I make visits, I pray for people by name regularly and pray publicly, I craft sermons, I moderate meetings, etc. etc.
But Jesus speaks to the heart of a pastor, the heart of an elder, and the heart of any and every leader in the church: yes, you have tasks to do, yes you have focal points, but always remember you are a shepherd first and foremost. And what a shepherd does is he tends, he feeds, he cares for the sheep. A shepherd is responsible for God's people, caring for their needs both in doctrine and in life.
This cuts to the heart of every fake leader. If anyone reading this aspires to any office or leadership position in the church, let me just say, to reiterate what Kathy Keller once wrote: you can't fake it in ministry. Sure, people do all the time but it tends to lead to either a) Abuse or b) Burnout.
You can't keep up the facade and if you try you'll break yourself or you'll break others. And that's not how it's supposed to be. Godliness and character matter more than training and charisma in the ministry. It just does.
That's why in qualifications for church officers, Paul writes to Timothy and Titus not to go to a specific seminary or to be able to craft the best 3 point sermons but of the essential qualities, the character and quality and disposition of being in any given leadership role. Leaders should not be contentious or divisive, they should be gentle, have a good reputation with outsiders, etc. So it matters how outsiders view pastors and elders and leaders. It matters how neighbors do. This is crushing to people rushing into ordination or other church leadership positions, but it's protecting the church from severe trauma like we keep hearing about in the news.
You see, true leadership is not just what you do but how you go about doing it. Leaders are accountable to the Chief Shepherd, Jesus. Leaders are responsible for all kinds of stuff, sure, but God places more value not on everything that gets done, but also in how what gets done is done.
(Look with me again at the rest of v. 17): "Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep" (John 21:17).
Peter was grieved. He was distressed. It's that Aha! moment when you realize that you've been found out. You are fully known, fully exposed. Someone has just found out a deep secret you've kept, or a person who wasn't supposed to hear what you did or said just found out. Has that happened before to you? Peter realizes Jesus just asked him three questions is because he denied Jesus not once, not twice, but three times. He's grieved because he is confronted with all the sin he has done. He's put on the spot; called out.
You see, Peter knew his own story.
His story resounded: I said I believed in Jesus, I said I would follow him even to death, and when the moment came I didn't do it. Then that moment came again, and I denied him. And it came back and guess what, I didn't act any different.
His life story read three times—fail, fail, fail. Deny, deny, deny. I'll never deny, but I denied denied denied. This is what makes Jesus' words so hard to bear for Peter. Three times Peter hears that where he has failed the most he is also LOVED the most.
Right where he has forsaken God is the place where God has declared, I will never forsake you because my Son was forsaken for you.
That right there is true for you today if you find yourself believing in Jesus Christ. You may think nobody cares about your story. You might think of yourself as worthless, or your life as pointless, or your work as meaningless—but God says in Jesus Christ: wherever you are, you are known and you are loved to the fullest in spite of yourself. You see, God can do that because, through faith in Christ, when he looks at us he sees his perfect son. God can do that because when he looks at our sin he sees every crimson stain of our past, present, and future nailed to the cross where the lamb of God was slain.
You know a lot of people have been buzzing about Facebook's data breach. Other people are privy to your information. Well, God has breached all of your data. There isn't a single post, message, text, conversation, or moment of your life that he is unaware of. He has watched it all. Every part of your life has been recorded.
Not if this God has so moved into this world not to condemn but to save.
And so in all of those areas where you're fully known, in Christ God says to you: You are fully loved. You are fully mine.

As it's commonly told, in 1920, the 19th amendment granted American women the ability to vote. But the reality is more complicated. In fact, the amendment was ratified in part because of the exclusionary rhetoric behind it; the women's suffrage movement was undergirded by anti-Blackness and racism.

Ellison Bay is an intriguing place to visit, as it is characterized by many galleries featuring work by fine craftsmen and artists. You will most likely meet them and perhaps even see them working.
There are also shops and businesses with unique offerings and activities. And Ellison Bay is home to the spectacular Newport State Park, as well as The Clearing, a historic and popular folk school.
And there is also a nice balance of things to do here-not so little (you will be busy!) and not so much. It seems just right.
Fall and winter is a great time to make your getaway to Ellison Bay. Here are some Ellison Bay highlights.
What's to do? Plan a visit Oct 23 and 24 for the annual Ellison Bay Fall Art Crawl. The artists will demonstrate their work and serve homemade bread and cookies. The event gives you an opportunity to not only see art-but interesting historical buildings that have been transformed to galleries and homes. For example, Ellison Bay Pottery is housed in a former apple barn at 12156 Garrett Bay Rd. Here John Dietrich and his wife, Diane McNeil show their work including functional stoneware art and decorative vases. Nearby is Cousin's Walk, 11940 Lakeview Rd, a gallery housed in a circa 1880s log cabin. Marcy Farber, the owner and artist, paints on found objects and more. Linden Gallery is an alluring gallery housed in a former church. Brian and Jeanee Linden acquire Asian art and antiques in China and other areas beyond for sale in their gallery at Hwy. 42 and Mink River Rd. Meanwhile, Clay Bay Gallery, 11650 Hwy. 42, shows work by artists Jeanne and David Aurelius including hand-thrown pottery and tiles. Gills Rock Stoneware is housed in a 100-year-old former hotel and saloon at 12020 Lakeview Rd.; look for bold palettes and creative shapes as well as things you can use everyday.
Continue the crawl with a visit to Turtle Ridge Gallery, 11736 Mink River Rd., where Mary Ellen Sisulak shows her eye-catching designs in leather and fiber, inspired by nature. Newport House Gallery, 12044 Hwy. 42, has folk art and antiques. And don't miss the Savory Spoon Cooking School, 12042 Hwy. 42; Chef Janice Thomas and her husband Mike Thomas transformed an old schoolhouse into a fab kitchen with space enough for cooking teams to create and eat. Also, take a tour of the lovely grounds at The Clearing folk school, 12171 Garrett Bay Rd. It celebrated a 75th anniversary this year. Check out the winter classes and opportunity to learn something new and creative.
Ellison Bay artists are also hosting a holiday open house Nov. 26 and 27.
And don't forget that Ellison Bay is also home to Newport State Park, open year-round and featuring trails that offer lake as well as lovely meadow views. This is a great place to hear yourself think and get a good workout to boot. Newport has 38.3 miles of trails-all open for hiking. About 16.8 miles of them are also open to off-road bicycles. And in the winter, 26.3 miles of trails are available for cross-country skiing. The park also has 16 backpack campsites.
What to buy: Art is a great value in Ellison Bay. Pottery galleries abound (see the above galleries on the art crawl), and you can also discover work by fine painters including Robert Bentley, who creates a wide range of art from landscapes to people and fun chefs.
Where to eat: There are many dining choices including Chef Andy's Hillside Inn, T. Ashwells (upscale), Northport Pier and the Viking Grill (fish boils, but closed until the spring due to a fire). The Brew Coffee Shop opened in May in Ellison Bay. It's owned by Linden and Wendi Ray, who also own the restaurant next door to Brew called Mink River Basin. The coffee shop is housed in a building that was a machine shop in 1890, and it's creatively decorated with paintings and pottery by Ellison Bay and Gills Rock artists. Also new in Ellison Bay is the Rowleys Pub. It has an outdoor deck overlooking Rowleys Bay and is on the grounds of the Rowleys Bay Resort (formerly the Wagon Trail).
Historical highlights: Ellison Bay was founded in 1866 by Johan Berndt Eliason, who came to the U.S. from Denmark. Learn more about Ellison Bay history during the annual Olde Ellison Bay Days (the last weekend of June each year), when the town sponsors a host of activities including an antique car show, soap box derby, arts and crafts fair, music and entertainment and a parade and more.
Norland Resort, Ellison Bay Cottages and Cedar Grove Resort to inns including the Parkside Inn and Cole's Rowleys Bay Cabins. Of course, the best place to read about lodging and other Ellison Bay attractions is online at www.DoorCountyNavigator.com .
More live music in more Door County places continues as the Cookery restaurant, 4135 Hwy. 42, Fish Creek, launches its fall music series this year.
Local artists perform in the restaurant's upper level wine bar. Coming soon are Julian Hagen on Oct. 21 and Katie Dahl on Oct. 28.
Enjoy the music while also checking out the menu and experiencing ambiance of the waterview wine bar. Here, customers can order appetizers and small plates such as roasted vegetable quesadilla and sample wines on new wine flights.
Also available are wines by the glass and a comprehensive list of wines by the bottle, Wisconsin beers and hot drinks including espresso. The dessert menu is also available before and during the show. And there is no cover charge.
The wine bar offers a less structured environment than a restaurant setting while giving people an opportunity to relish the view of Green Bay waters and the entertainment, according to Courtney Holdmann Skare of the Cookery.
"So, it's not just all about the wine. It's more about creating an environment for people to come," Holdmann Skare said.
More information is online at the cookeryfishcreek.com.
What's it about: CheeseCake, Etc. is a bakery and restaurant, which opened in May 2010 in the Country Walk Shops, Sister Bay. It presents cheesecakes made by Belkis Dell, a fourth generation baker. Also available are her homemade soups, sandwiches, 99-cent waffles, custom ground coffee and ice cream. There is indoor and outdoor seating for about 25 people (for breakfast, lunch and dinner). Also available are catering services including wedding and birthday cakes within 48 hours of placing an order.
Why it's special: This is a family-owned business with the marquee attraction being the cheesecake. You can buy it by the slice, or take home a cheesecake to go. Belkis also serves "minis" which are a great size for a couple to share. About eight different flavors are in the showcase daily (but Belkis makes many more). The house favs are the original, double dutch chocolate and one called turtle with caramel and nuts. Natural and fresh ingredients are used, and Belkis even crumbles up her homemade cookies and includes them in the cheesecake crusts. To her, cheesecake is an art, and her creations are often topped with lovely fresh flowers and other greenery and other d�cor such as colorful fruit. "Everything I do has to be to the best of my ability," Belkis said.
Quick facts: CheeseCake, Etc., 10579 Country Walk Dr., No. 21 (garden level), Sister Bay, 920-854-5000.

Nor has this Ozark haven of what playwright Lanford Wilson calls "mountains, lakes, creeks and green, green, green" spawned anything much more legendary that the Dogpatch Chronicles.

The ability of the bankruptcy court to confirm a plan of reorganization over the objections of some classes of creditors. This often involves resetting the amount of principal that the bond holders are owed. Related is a mortgage cramdown. Here the home owner cannot pay the mortgage because of financial distress and, indeed, the mortgage could be a higher value than the house. A cramdown resets (lower) the principal amount of the mortgage. This may allow the homeowner to stay in the house (avoid foreclosure).
In bankruptcy, the ability of a court to formulate and implement a Chapter 11 reorganization plan over and above the objections of creditors. Generally speaking, unsecured creditors object to a debtor's bankruptcy because they have no recourse for retrieving the debt. The rationale behind a cramdown is the fact that unsecured creditors will usually receive part of the debt back under a Chapter 11 reorganization, but would receive nothing in a Chapter 7 liquidation. Cramdown is therefore thought to be the least negative option for both the debtor and the creditors. Courts are required, however, to formulate a cramdown that is as equitable as possible for all parties.
When those issues are continually crammed down the throats of conservatives by an outdated hierarchy that becomes more and more totalitarian with each new policy dictate, it is time to separate.
For the first time in 100 years, one party crammed down a bill with national implications without any agreement from the opposing party.
Everywhere you turn, technology is being crammed down your throat; from double page spread Apple adverts showing 'emotions' instead of products, to meaningless celebrity endorsements - it's therefore reassuring to know that behind all the pretence there is a place genuine technology fans can go to meet one another, learn, teach, work and just be themselves, a bit like how amateur hobbyists developed the first personal computers all those years ago.
Yet it never once occurred to me to calculate the number of buffalo each hunter-skinner unit would have to process to add up to the numbers crammed down my throat in history class and by the environmental left.
education system treats math like medicine to be crammed down students' throats because it is good for them, without much effort to explain why.
As a result, your children and my grandchildren are in constant danger of having fundamentalist propaganda crammed down their throats in federally funded abstinence-only classes, or in federally funded "counseling" programs run by Baptists, Catholics, and other religious groups.
Unless we develop, everything is going to be crammed down in the South-East.
The show has to go on, of course, because so many Republicans successfully ran for election or re-election on the promise to repeal this travesty of socialism that the Democrats crammed down everyone's throats.
NAFCU President/CEO Fred Becker wrote that "any amounts crammed down are losses to the credit union that ultimately lead to increased loan rates and decreased dividends offered to members of the credit union.
To the contrary, mortgage cram-downs would contravene Justice Stevens' specific admonition, a unanimous Supreme Court ruling, and the legislative history upon which it was based, thus creating the ability for some debtors to demand that the principal amount of their mortgages be rewritten or crammed down.
Rolling out of my warm bag in the cool pre-dawn darkness of opening morning, I quickly crammed down a snack, grabbed my fanny pack and bow, and headed toward a distant area that I'd scouted.
Well, considering that most of the changes in the past 15 years have been crammed down our throats, without any input from practicing IM physicians, this sounds like we are going to embrace our tormentors.

Warriors' Kevon Looney Back to Practicing, Not Ready for Game Action
By Monte Poole	• Published November 24, 2019 • Updated on November 30, 2019 at 4:19 pm
SAN FRANCISCO -- For a full four weeks, Kevon Looney has been rehabbing his body and watching the Warriors. One is progressing faster than the other.
Looney went through a full practice Sunday, for the first time since late October, but will not play Monday night against the Thunder -- and is not expected to be game-ready before the five-game road trip that begins next Friday in Miami.
"He's not ready to play, but he's pretty good in terms of his rehab," coach Steve Kerr said Sunday after practice. "Now it's more a matter of conditioning and getting more reps on the floor before we put him into a game.
"The hope is this upcoming road trip."
Looney is coping with a condition referred to as neuropathy, which generally results in certain nerves or areas of the body malfunctioning. In his case, the symptoms were felt mostly in his hamstrings.
[RELATED: Warriors, resigned to their fate, smart to be looking ahead]
The fifth-year center/forward concedes there always is a chance the symptoms might return but sees no impediment as of now.
"I expect to be back on the road trip," Looney said. "I just want to get a couple more practices in, continue to test it out, get some more reps in."

Unveiled: Parade route for Yorkshire's Rio heroes
The route of the hotly-anticipated Rio Heroes homecoming parade in Leeds celebrating the achievements of Yorkshire Olympic and Paralympic athletes has been unveiled.
Alex Johnston
Published: 07:59 Updated: 08:12 Tuesday 27 September 2016
Here it is – the route our Rio Heroes will take during a spectacular homecoming parade in Leeds city centre tomorrow.
The hotly-anticipated parade on Wednesday, September 28 will celebrate the achievements of all Yorkshire Olympic and Paralympic athletes, who made us proud with incredible performances in Brazil during the Games.
From around 5.45pm to 6.45pm, locals will have the chance to welcome back the athletes in style and line the streets as they tour the city centre on open top buses. Musical entertainment and colourful displays will add a real carnival atmosphere to the evening.
Judith Blake, leader of Leeds City Council, said: "The Rio Heroes homecoming promises to be something very special and we are delighted to be able to announce the route which the open buses will take around Leeds city centre as part of the parade.
"The support from the people of Yorkshire has once again been simply incredible, and all of our athletes can be guaranteed a truly memorable homecoming reception."
Beginning on The Headrow outside Leeds Art Gallery, the route will take a right turn onto Park Row before heading down to City Square where it will then take a left turn on to Boar Lane. The buses will then take a left onto Briggate, before making one final left onto The Headrow and returning outside Leeds Art Gallery. Viewing spots are available right along the route, which will be closed temporarily to all traffic on a rolling closure basis under police escort for up to one hour. Some longer-term road closures and other traffic management are also required at The Headrow, from Calverley Street to Cookridge Street and Cookridge Street, from Headrow to Gt George Street.
Olympic and Paralympic stars already confirmed for the parade include Hannah Cockroft and the Brownlee brothers.

JSC Kuznetsov () is one of the leading Russian producers of aircraft engines, liquid-propellant rocket engines as well as aeroderivative gas turbines and modular stations.

The current joint-stock company was established through the consolidation of several Samara-based aerospace engine companies, including JSC N.D. Kuznetsov SNTK, JSC Samara Design Bureau of Machine Building and JSC NPO Povolzhskiy AviTI.

History
The company was established in 1912 as the Gnome Factory of Moscow, after the French aircraft engine company Gnome et Rhône which supplied the engine parts assembled by the plant. In 1925 it was renamed 'Frunze Factory No. 24', after Bolshevik leader Mikhail Frunze. The factory was evacuated to its current location in Samara in 1941.

The Samara Frunze Engine-Building Production Association was one of the principal aerospace engine production complexes in Russia, with six plants and 25,000 employees in the early 1990s. It has produced turbojet and turboprop engines for military and civil use, including Blackjack and Backfire bombers and Tu-154 transports. The NK-12M engine produced by Frunze is the most powerful turboprop in the world. Samara Frunze also produced engines for the Salyut spacecraft and for the Mir space station.

Re-established as the joint-stock company Motorostroitel in 1994, it retained this denomination until 2010, when it was merged with several other Samara-based engine plants on the verge of bankruptcy. It then took the name of one of new its subsidiaries, Kuznetsov Design Bureau.

Products

The current production range of JSC Kuznetsov includes the NK-33 rocket engine, the Kuznetsov NK-32 aviation engine and the NK-37ST industrial engine. In 2016 the company announced plans to produce a modernized version of its NK-32 engine by the end of the year.

 Products

The Kuznetzov Bureau first became notable for producing the monstrous Kuznetsov NK-12 turboprop engine that powered the Tupolev Tu-95 bomber beginning in 1952 as a development of the Junkers 0022 engine. The new engine eventually generated about 15,000 horsepower (11.2 megawatts), far more than any Western turboprop engine of its time, and it was also used in the large Antonov An-22 Soviet Air Force transport.

Kuznetsov also produced the Kuznetsov NK-8 turbofan engine in the  class that powered the Ilyushin Il-62 and Tupolev Tu-154 airliners. This engine was next upgraded to become the about  Kuznetsov NK-86 engine that powered the Ilyushin Il-86 aircraft. This Bureau also produced the Kuznetsov NK-144 afterburning turbofan engine. This engine powered the early models of the Tupolev Tu-144 SST.

The Kuznetsov Design Bureau also produced the Kuznetsov NK-87 turbofan engine that was used on the Lun-class ekranoplan. (Only one such aircraft has ever been produced.)

Kuznetsov's most powerful aviation engine is the Kuznetsov NK-321 that propels the Tupolev Tu-160 bomber and was formerly used in the later models of the Tu-144  supersonic transport (an SST that is now obsolete and no longer flown). The NK-321 produced a maximum of about  of thrust.

Kuznetsov also produced the Kuznetsov NK-8 turbofan engine in the 20,000-pound-thrust (90 kilonewton-thrust) class that powered the Ilyushin Il-62 and Tupolev Tu-154 airliners. This engine was next upgraded to become the about 28,000-pound (125-kilonewton) Kuznetsov NK-86 engine that powered the Ilyushin Il-86 aircraft. This Bureau also produced the Kuznetsov NK-144 afterburning turbofan engine. This engine powered the early models of the Tupolev Tu-144 SST.

Rocket engines
In 1959, Sergey Korolev ordered a new design of rocket engine from the Kuznetzov Bureau for the Global Rocket 1 (GR-1) Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which was developed but never deployed. The result was the NK-9, one of the first staged-combustion cycle rocket engines. The design was developed by Kuznetsov into the NK-15 and NK-33 engines in the 1960s, and claimed them to be the highest-performance rocket engines ever built, which were to propel the N1 lunar rocket—one that was never successfully launched. As of 2011, the aging NK-33 remains the most efficient (in terms of thrust-to-mass ratio) LOX/Kerosene rocket engine ever created.

The Orbital Sciences Antares light-to-medium-lift launcher has two modified NK-33 in its first stage, a solid second stage and a hypergolic orbit stage. The NK-33s are first imported from Russia to the United States and then modified into Aerojet AJ26s, which involves removing some harnessing, adding U.S. electronics, qualifying it for U.S. propellants, and modifying the steering system.

The Antares rocket was successfully launched from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on April 21, 2013.  This marked the first successful launch of the NK-33 heritage engines built in early 1970s.

Kuznetsov rocket engines include:
Kuznetsov oxygen-rich stage-combustion RP1/LOX rocket engine family. Including NK-9, NK-15, NK-19, NK-21, NK-33, NK-39, NK-43. The original version was designed to power an ICBM. In the 1970s some improved versions were built for the ill-fated Soviet Lunar mission. More than 150 NK-33 engines were produced and stored in a warehouse ever since, with 36 engines having been sold to Aerojet general in the 1990s.  Two NK-33 derived engines (Aerojet AJ-26) are used in the first stage of the Antares rocket developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation.  The Antares rocket was successfully launched from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on April 21, 2013.  This marked the first successful launch of the NK-33 heritage engines built in the early 1970s. TsSKB-Progress also uses the stockpile NK-33 as the first-stage engine of the lightweight version of the Soyuz rocket family, the Soyuz-2-1v.
RD-107A rocket engine. Powers the boosters of the R-7 family including the Soyuz-FG and Soyuz-2.
RD-108A rocket engine. Powers the core stage of the R-7 family including the Soyuz-FG and Soyuz-2.

Q: hardware settings gets reset on reboot I don't use WIFI and touch-pad much, every time my laptop Lenovo Z50-70 starts I switch off WIFI and disable touchpad with hardware keys ( Fn+ XX). But these two settings gets reset on reboot and resume from suspend. How do I make these settings permanent until I toggle them?

A: For both, if you are sure you don't want to use them you may be able blacklist the drivers of those pieces of hardware so they are not loaded on boot - blacklisting drivers is explained in full here. To determine the driver of the WiFi use lspci -k or lshw -C network, and blacklist the WiFi's driver module (You may also be able to do this with the 'Additional Drivers' GUI).
The (rather big) flaw with this method is what happens when you find you do need those pieces of hardware (particularly without a touchpad). You should be able to reload the modules using sudo modprobe MODULE in a TTY.
If you really never want to use that hardware, you could remove the driver packages, but this almost guarantees you will need them at a later date.You could also use rfkill and run it on boot similar to the method here.
For the touchpad this is more complicated with drivers, but you could use xinput to disable the touchpad:
xinput --disable ID

You can determine the ID of the touchpad from xinput -list
This might not work system-wide from /etc/rc.local, so instead you could use ~/.profile so it disables the touchpad on login.
Another method may be to send the signal's the key's send, though this is probably very difficult as this probably is in the hardware not the software - this may help though.
