California out in front in a Green future
- Via Wikipedia / California's $2.9 trillion economy is larger than that of any other state, larger than those of Texas and Florida combined.
California is the largest sub-national economy in the world. If it were a country, California would be the 5th largest economy in the world (larger than the United Kingdom, France, or India)
"California plays an incredibly important role as a pathfinder that plots out the course for the energy transition, climate change, and the environment in general."
- -- Jules Kortenhorst, the CEO of the Rocky Mountain Institute.
As Gavin Newsom takes his oath of office as California's newly-elected 40th Governor, an association of green groups calls for a 'Green New Deal'.
"California sets a high standard for national climate action. Among many achievements, continuing California's environmental leadership since the 1960s, California's legislature in 2018 passed a law requiring every new home to have solar panels, a law banning new offshore oil drilling, and a law to make the states' electricity grid 100% carbon-neutral by 2045."

California slashes emissions, hits major greenhouse gas goal years early
In a major win for California's fight against global warming, the state appears to have hit its first target for cutting greenhouse gases — and it reached the goal early.
Data released by the California Air Resources Board show that the state's greenhouse gas emissions dropped 2.7 percent in 2016 — the latest year available — to 429.4 million metric tons.
This is below the 431 million metric tons the state produced in 1990. California law requires the state's emissions, which peaked in 2004, return to 1990 levels by 2020. Since the peak, emissions have dropped 13 percent...

A salute to California "planet citizens", Rebecca Moore of Google Earth / Earth Outreach, and in memory of George E. Brown from East LA who was instrumental in advancing legislation that launched "big science" initiatives like GPS/GIS and LANDSAT to shape the first-generation of #EarthScience from space. Today, California is a leader in "New Space", even as "Governor Moonbeam" remembers how pundits once laughed, but no longer. The impact of visionary thinkers and leaders continues to make California a very special state -- and now the fifth largest economy in the world.

- New homes and low-rise apartment buildings across California would include solar panels under first-in-the-nation rules approved Wednesday by the California Energy Commission.
- The rules now go to the state Building Standards Commission... "This is groundbreaking," said Pierre Delforge, senior scientist for the Natural Resources Defense Council...
- "The new rules "will save energy, lower customer bills, keep homes comfortable in increasing heat waves and reduce pollution from California's homes and buildings."

- Solar panels have become an increasingly familiar sight on California rooftops as the state moves toward a clean-energy future. For new homes, they are about to become a requirement.
- The California Energy Commission will require solar panels on all new homes, putting the state even farther in the forefront in the use of solar power.

Energy Innovation CEO Hal Harvey:
- "The reference point for China is not Washington, its California. They would rather learn from California than any other jurisdiction."
California and China see big economic and environmental upsides to increased cooperation. California views China as a rising dynamic force, a valuable export market, a source of new investment, and an innovation collaborator. While in China last week, Governor Brown said, "China is leading. California is leading... California-China cooperation has taken a real leap forward." Likewise, China considers California a trailblazer for the sustainable development path it aspires to follow.
California offers lessons as China works to build a cleaner, more innovative economy. The air pollution Chinese citizens endure today from increased industrial activity and sprawling personal automobile use is reminiscent of mid-20th century smog in southern California, which spurred the creation of the California's ARB, Air Resources Board, and dozens of subsequent policy innovations.

Climate Law Blog / July 2017
Three local governments in California (San Mateo County, Marin County and the City of Imperial Beach) filed potentially groundbreaking climate change lawsuits in California state courts, each one charging a group of 20 fossil fuel companies with liability for public nuisance, failure to warn, design defect, private nuisance, negligence, and trespass.
This type of state common law climate litigation may represent the first of similar cases nationwide.
The Lawsuits
Each of the complaints presents a compelling storyline: These fossil fuel companies knew. They knew that climate change was happening, that fossil fuel production and use was causing it, and that continued fossil fuel production and use would only make it worse. They knew this, but they hid it. And then they lied about it, and paid other people to lie about it for them. All the while they profited from it, and plotted to profit more. Ultimately, their actions caused sea levels to rise, and thereby caused harm, are continuing to cause harm, and are contributing to future harm to the plaintiff governments and their residents. Accordingly, the complaints claim that the defendant companies should be held liable and forced to pay, both for the costs the local governments are incurring to adapt to sea level rise and for the companies' own willful, deceptive, and malicious behavior.
The named defendants include Chevron, ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, Citgo, ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66, Peabody Energy, Total, Eni, Arch Coal, Rio Tinto, Statoil, Anadarko, Occidental, Repsol, Marathon, Hess, Devon, Encana, Apache, and unspecified "Company Does." According to the plaintiffs, these companies are responsible for about 20% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that were emitted during the period from 1965 to 2015, an amount which the complaints argue is a "substantial portion" of the climate change problem. The "substantial portion" claim is legally significant.

Global Leadership On Climate Change and the Green Economy
-- Via Capital and Main by Dean Kuipers
"In 2016, California continued its commitment to ecological sanity in 2016, getting rid of sea-life-killing plastic grocery bags, protecting monarch butterflies and banning the sale of ivory and rhino horns, but the state shook the entire world when it doubled down on its already-tough carbon reduction targets. Senate Bill 32 not only significantly lowered state carbon emission targets from 1990 levels by 2020 to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, but the change sailed through the legislature despite resistance from fossil-fuel interests. Coming on top of 2015 increases to the state's Renewable Portfolio Standard (now requiring the state to get fully half of its electrical power from renewable sources by 2030), this makes California a global leader in clean energy standards.
"More important, the new carbon emissions target is a huge boost for the state's clean tech industry. Already creating a decent number of top-paying union jobs via the state's unique requirement that utility-scale solar be connected to the state grid, SB 32 and its companion bill, AB 197, will require a rush of new technology and innovation. AB 197 mandates that the California Air Resources Board, which directs air quality regulation, to reduce emissions in neighborhoods most affected by them, such as harbor towns and neighborhoods next to power plants. That means that cap-and-trade, which allows polluters to go on polluting so long as they buy credits from some company not polluting, won't necessarily be the easy fix. Rather, as research by Jeffrey Greenblatt at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and others indicates, the state will need a massive influx of new zero-emission transportation, new energy storage facilities, high-speed rail, biodiesel, newly grown forests, agricultural innovation and a raft of other tactics.
"California will go on doing what it does best, inventing the future."

The Second-Largest City In The U.S. Is On The Verge Of 100 Percent Renewable Policy
Cities have a very unique ability to be at once visionary and pragmatic
Los Angeles is a city born of Thomas Edison's inventions. The movie camera, obviously, helped propel it to become the second-largest city in the United States, but the light bulb, too, is integral to the city's heritage. Unlike many of the country's older cities, Los Angeles barely knew a time without electricity. There is even a hip bar called The Edison paying homage to the city's history in a former power plant in the heart of downtown.
Growing up alongside the car and electricity industries, Los Angeles has long been seen as one of the country's most modern cities. But now, as our collective dependence on power has been found guilty of damaging our water, air, and climate, the city is taking steps to be part of the new future: a clean energy future.
The City Council is going to consider a motion this month that would direct the municipal utility to determine how to move the city to 100 percent renewable energy. The motion already has broad support from councilmembers, and Los Angeles officials confirmed that the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) has begun work on the report, which will be developed with research partners, including the Dept. of Energy.
The renewable energy motion from council members Greg Krekorian and Mike Bonin reads:
- LADWP is on the verge of making significant investments in its infrastructure, and with that 100-year-old power system in need of significant upgrades, the city has an opportunity to re-create its utility in a way that recognizes the potential for a fossil-free future, demonstrates global leadership in its commitment to clean energy, and protects ratepayers from the increasing costs of carbon-based fuels...

California is about to do something no state has done / Sept 2015
Back in January, California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) made a promise. His state, he said, would pursue a new package of climate goals that are the most ambitious in the nation (and among the most ambitious in the world). California was already a leader in efforts to slash greenhouse gas emissions and promote clean energy. Brown pledged to go further. By 2030, he declared, California would double the energy efficiency of state buildings; get half its electricity from renewables; and halve consumption of gasoline by cars and trucks.
At the time, all those nice-sounding goals were just words in a speech. But they could very soon become the law of the land. The state legislature is currently considering several bills (SB 350 is the most important) that would codify Brown's climate agenda. The legislation is widely expected to pass before the end of the legislative session next Friday, but not without a fight from the state's powerful oil lobby...
California has a history that derives from the experience of smog in the Los Angeles Basin... as a result, over many years, forward-looking pollution control standards were established and under the so-called Pavley Law, the first legislation in the world to regulate greenhouse gas emissions in passenger vehicles, were ultimately adopted by the United States as the national standard.

What happens when enlightened policies are put in place?
In the absence of sufficient U.S. federal leadership, it's cities and states that are largely moving the needle on addressing climate disruption. As the world's 8th largest economy California has long played a catalytic role in the development of landmark national environmental laws and standards. California continues to serve as a model. [1]
As Tom Hayden has reported, "Since Governor Jerry Brown's first term in 1974, California has been on a steady march to an alternative energy future. Enter Brown today as a modern Archimedes, the ancient Greek philosopher who searched for a leverage point from which to transform the world. California is that leverage point."
Governor Brown began his current term by passing game-changing climate legislation, and building on the AB32 global warming legislation of the previous Governor. He has populated the administration with savvy, skillful policy makers designing leading-edge climate policies. Coupled with visionary lawmakers, the state has developed and implemented a broad suite of clean energy and low-carbon incentives and policies, while maintaining a fairly robust economy and green jobs creation.
California is poised to spend $120 billion on clean energy in the next five years, more than any other state and most foreign countries. Its plan is to achieve 33 percent of its electricity from renewables by 2020, and may double its rate by 2030. Consumers have saved an estimated $74 billion on energy efficiency programs. Silicon Valley leads the U.S. with 2/3 of green venture capital.
While fracking policy remains a serious unresolved issue, California is showing how an advanced economy can set future targets of 100 percent renewables without nuclear power. Goals in the coming decade include 1.5 million zero-emission cars and a million solar rooftops. New state building codes are driving the proliferation of zero-net energy buildings.
Meanwhile distributed energy is on its way to democratizing clean energy and displacing centralized fossil-fueled utility monopolies.
Dispelling the "jobs versus the environment myth," California employs 199,000 workers in clean energy industries, with 100s of thousands more planned. Clean economy jobs jumped 20% over the past decade while other jobs rose only 2%. [In California in 2013, 7,755 projects were announced. 1,880 projects were under construction, 15,397 total projects were in operation.] There are already more clean energy jobs in the U.S. than jobs in the coal, oil and gas industries.
Major environmental justice legislation is set to assure hundreds of millions of dollars to implement climate policies and jobs that benefit frontline communities. That environmental justice vision will be key to international negotiations. Environmental justice has been the deal-breaker between the rich and poor countries — the poor did not create the problems yet suffer the brunt.
Governor Brown's strategic end-run using clean energy diplomacy has led to low-carbon pacts with China, Germany, Mexico, Israel, Peru, Quebec, British Columbia, and multiple states in the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest and New England. As a Model for Regional-Local Approaches to Climate Change, the Pacific Coast Action Plan on Climate & Energy stands out.
Governor Brown has helped assemble a Green Bloc of states including the Northeast and Midwest that include at least half the American population and over 40 percent of the economy, with total GDP of $6.4 trillion. Former Governor Schwartzenegger and former New York City Mayor Michael Blooomberg are also building local and regional alliances. Many other nations are rooting for the Green Bloc's continuing political rise.
The strategy is to force action federally and internationally from below. As Governor Brown commented, "What happens in California doesn't stay in California." [2] [3]
Changing the politics will come down to growing the national and global movement of movements.

LOS ANGELES (AP) / October 7, 2015 — Gov. Jerry Brown dramatically increased California's climate-change goals on Wednesday, committing the state to use renewable energy for half its electricity and make existing buildings twice as energy-efficient in just 15 years.
"At the Front Lines": An Interview with California Governor Jerry Brown on the eco-encyclical 'Laudato Si'
America Magazine | July 2015
California Governor Jerry Brown has spent his entire life in public service. After college Brown spent a few years as a Jesuit seminarian. He has spent the 45 years since serving the state of California at every level, from Los Angeles community college district trustee to mayor of Oakland, state Attorney General, governor, candidate for Senate twice, and candidate for the presidency three times. In his 1992 run he carried six states, and came in second in voting at the Democratic convention to Bill Clinton...
- "I think it definitely advances the church's position on the environment. The pope made a very clear articulation of the responsibility and the respect that human beings owe the rest of creation. And he's taking on a real existential threat to the underlying conditions on which our civilization is dependent, the stability of the climate, which has been very favorable for the last 10 to 12 thousand years. So it's important for reorienting Catholics to the rules and the laws of nature that can't be ignored or abused in the name of individual freedom or desire or initiative. As people work out their various ways of living they have to take into account not just what they want to do, but what nature dictates and what science tells us about the way human beings are enmeshed in and dependent on a greater and complex web of life."
- "The pope is also raising the point, which gets serious opposition from many quarters, of how much material stuff is really appropriate, that there are certain limits and certain ways of living and industrializing and carrying on that are more compatible with a sustainable and healthy environment. The encyclical raises a real challenge to a modern world that is so dependent on the market for authority and for the allocation of life's goods and services. The pope is raising the ante, saying No, you have to look at the impact. When you're disturbing the environment you're going to create negative feedbacks that are going to be felt disproportionately by poorer people, more vulnerable people who don't have the assets and the capital to protect themselves against the extreme weather and the disruptions that follow in the wake of an impaired climate regime, which is where we're going."
- "So all in all I'd say it's a welcome voice, a clear voice that definitely lays out ideas consistent with the Catholic tradition but also very related to the times that we're in..."
- "California has this history that really derives from the experience of smog in the Los Angeles Basin, and the response to that over many administrations has led to where we are today.

"Today Los Angeles has ten times as many cars as it did in the 50s, and the air is 95 percent cleaner. That's a pretty dramatic move, one that countries like China and India are taking notice of."

In his re-election victory speech Tuesday night, Brown mentioned Props 1 and 2 as being vital to his goals as governor.
"Save money, save water, those are two pillars," Brown said.
November 2014 - the State of California under the leadership of its green governor, Jerry Brown, passed a set of laws, with Proposition One at the center of a wide-ranging plan to encourage a range of water conservation usage and saving measures, California again out in front of national/global efforts to deal with climate change/drought.
Having led the effort to shape and urge passage of a top state priority in the 2014 election, the Governor succeeded as voters passed Proposition 1 – the Water Quality, Supply and Infrastructure Act of 2014 – by a margin of 67%-33%.
Proposition 1 provides $7.5 billion in new and redirected bond funds for a wide range of water related projects that will:
- Protect rivers, lakes, streams, coastal waters and watersheds
- Provide regional water security, climate and drought preparedness
- Provide public benefits through a wide range of water storage options that demonstrate improvement to the state water system, cost-effectiveness and net improvement in ecosystem and water quality conditions
- Promote water recycling
- Improve drinking water quality

Siterunner / SJS: Remembering the scientist/professors from the Univ of California in Irvine (Orange County), Nobel laureate Frank Sherwood Rowland and Mexican-born, Nobel prize-winner from San Diego Mario Molina, whose scientific findings together in the 1970s first put Ozone depletion and CFCs into public awareness. Their prodigious work and visionary science led to the Montreal Protocol -- the first substantial international agreement to limit destructive atmospheric emissions. The two Montreal ozone treaties have been ratified by 197 parties, which includes 196 states and the European Union, making them the first universally ratified treaties in United Nations history.
Let's look a bit more at the beginnings of what is called the modern environmental, activist movement (as distinguished from the conservationist origins of environmentalism ala John Muir, the Sierra Club and all those after Teddy Roosevelt who looked to the 'big picture' and what government can do to benefit 'the commons' and common good, preserving and protecting Earth's resources and beauty. As Roosevelt acted to re-define executive orderse and government monument into preservation with his action to 'go around' mining and industry blocking in Congress to preserve the Grand Canyon as a national monument. Many in the 1960s looked to expand protections of the the commons, working through Congress when possible as a result of public pressure, organizing and activism, and we also worked around Congress as needed pushing for both local and presidential action keeping in mind the precedent of Roosevelt (Roosevelt's action in 1908 with the Grand Canyon set an important precedent for future Presidents to use for conservation efforts when there wasn't consensus within Congress to act.) The 1960s, in many ways with the beginning of a larger picture realization carried worldwide with new communication systems and the first pictures from the Apollo 8 mission, led to a rush of visionary 'blue-green' proposals and policies.

Anyone tried the 4.2.1 beta yet?
Tested on Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m and the problem still exists.
Don't have IE10 in front of me, but tried on a nightly before beta and looked at the code and it looks like it's fixed.
Very troubling that 4.2 made it into release with this bug, let alone beta without a full fix. Hopefully Sencha realizes how annoying this bug is and gives it priority.
someone found a solution for this bug?
Tried with the latest nightly beta ext-4.2.1-20130424-beta (ext-220.127.116.117) and the problem is still there in Chrome 26...
We have workarounds but still long for an official fix...
how is the progress of this fix?
I've tested on some of the nightly builds of 4.2.1 this week and the tooltips have really been tightened up. I no longer observe width problems with Chrome.
Of course it's Sencha's call when this fix from 4.2.1 will be made generally available.
This issue has been fixed and will be available in the GA release of Ext JS 4.2.1

You mean that is not okay?!! Now you tell me!!
I do it all the time. Any time one of them rounds off or seizes, I drill off the head and use it for a locating pin or just remove it and throw it away. Then I forget about it.
Think about it. Those are only in there for manufacturing assembly convenience. If you lose a rotor because that screw is gone, you've got much bigger problems to worry about.
I'm curious about how tie rods look just before they snap. Honestly, I've never seen one break except from crash damage, so I'd like to learn your technique to predict when they're about to break on their own.
Fixed that for you but agree with the rest. Even us shade-tree types appreciate a rotor that stays put while reinstalling the caliper. Since the screws only cost about a quarter I usually bought new ones with new rotors. That, a dab of anti-seize and a torque wrench prevented any removal problems.
it's also helpful for keeping the wheel bolt holes lined up when you're putting the wheel on
Ah; yer a buncha' weenies. The old Audi Quattros I ran didn't even have a provision for those screws. The rotor hat was always floating. The time you waste fiddling with these things is a lot more than the time I lose by not having them in there to help me find the bolt holes.
Im not concerned with the rotor falling off while im driving, but with the screw out and **** corroding n the hole ill never be able to get another one in. ANd if I do ever get these old rotors off without just replacign the whole hub assembly it might be nice to not have to worry about it hitting me in the head while its on the lift
To be honest I cant recall ever seeing a tie rod snap either but then again ive never been able to crumble a rotor in my hand either. I poked one of the vents out with the back end of a socket. I guess theres time for a learning curve here but I dont think with the ammount of rust that it would be impossible espiecally in the event of rally pracitce fo rsomething to snap this rod. To check when I cut it off, get it off, swap out the whole steering rack, im going to beat it with a hammer to see who wins.
They can't come off unless the caliper is loose or completely off. If the caliper is off, you're working on the brakes. If you're working on the brakes and a rotor falls on your head, you deserve it.
Rightfully so, my diet probably has something to do with that... =D
Im debating whether I should do an M50 swap, turbo the eta, or focus on the other areas first.
To be honest I have an E36 dashboard, Cluster/ECU, M50, getrag that was attached to it, multiple driveshafts, etc. All from my 94 325is, I was going to keep them as spares or a spare turbo motor/ECU but its taking up a hell of alot of room over here.
Comments? opinions?
Other than im a retard that should have a brake disc fall on my head, please! =)
Well, hey, look what Newton came up with from getting hit on the head with an apple, so just think what could be in store for you!
Don't turbo the eta - that motor ain't worth the expense or the time.
Consuming space?? What???? So what? Are you a CAR GUY™ÃƒÆ'ƒâ€šÃ'©Ã'®, or what?? Botond SLEPT with his engine... for months!
Fix the basics, make it run reliably. Then, hit the mods, if it _even_ makes sense to do so.

Rutgers coach Fred Hill has been awarded a two-year contract extension.
Hoops Haven Says: While it's jarring to see a coach who has gone 6-28 in the Big East get an extension, it also shows you just how well Hill is doing with the so-called programmatic details: recruiting, academics, etc. Rutgers is known for being patient with its coaches. This is an investment, and it sends a message of stability. Now it's up to Hill to justify that investment with results on the court.
The Gannett NJ story:
His heralded recruiting class has not set foot on campus yet, but it's already paying dividends for Rutgers University men's basketball coach Fred Hill.
Hill received a two-year contract extension on Thursday as a reward for bringing in the Scarlet Knights' top group of recruits in at least 25 years. On top of his original five-year deal, the extension is a major vote of confidence in Hill despite his two-year record of 21-39 overall and 6-28 in the Big East Conference.
""I am extremely pleased with the progress that our men's basketball program has made under the leadership of Fred Hill," Rutgers athletics director Bob Mulcahy said. ""His unwavering commitment to Rutgers and his relentless pursuit of excellence have established a foundation for future success.
""Freddie's passion for Rutgers University, his student-athletes, and the state of New Jersey is genuine and tangible. I am very proud to re-affirm our commitment to him. We look forward to the realization of the goals he has set forth for this program," Mulcahy added.
The base pay of Hill's contract, which now runs through the 2012-2013 season, remains the same at $450,000 per season.
""I'm extremely excited," Hill said via phone. ""When I was fortunate enough to take over the program we talked all along about a process, building a program. We're starting to see that process and plan come together. I'm excited we can move foward and build this into what everybody wants — a championship-caliber program.
Hill's incoming class includes St. Anthony All-American Mike Rosario and St. Benedict big man Greg Echenique, cementing ties to two of New Jersey's premier high school powers. In addition to the recruiting, Hill's players have fared well in the classroom, with all seven seniors graduating over the past two years and the Scarlet Knights registering an Academic Progress Rate of 953, which ranked in the top 30 percent of Division I men's basketball programs.
It all adds up to two extra years for Hill.
""What's signficant is the fact that we have an opportunity to continue to grow the program, that people recognize the growth and development that has taken place," Hill said. ""The people who are aroud the program on a daily basis and see what's going on, they have been part of this and understand the process. This is a public affirmation that they are witnessing what we've talked about since day one."

The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples of Christ
BY Rev. Andrew Murray
Chapter 29 Be A Blessing
"Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee; and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee; and thou shalt be a blessing" kjv@Genesis:12:1-2.
In these first words that God spoke to Abraham, we have the short summary of all that God has to say to him and to us as His children. We see the goal to which God calls us, the power that carries us to that goal, and the place where that power is found.
Be a blessing--that is the goal for which God separates Abraham and every believing child of His.
God would have him and us understand that, when He blesses us, it is not to simply make us happy, but so that we would still further communicate His blessing.1 God Himself is love, and therefore He blesses. Love does not seek itself. When the love of God comes to us, it will seek others through us.2 From the beginning, the young Christian must understand that he has received grace with the definite aim of becoming a blessing to others. Please, do not keep for yourself what the Lord gives to you for others. Offer yourself expressly and completely to the Lord--to be used by Him for others. That is the way to be blessed overflowingly yourself.3
The power for this work will be given. "Be a blessing," "I will bless thee," says the Lord. You are to be personally blessed and sanctified. You are to be filled with the Spirit, peace, and power of the Lord. Then you have power to bless.4 In Christ, God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings ( kjv@Ephesians:1:3. Let Jesus fill you with these blessings, and you will certainly be a blessing. You do not need to doubt or fear. The blessing of God includes in it the power of life for multiplication, for expansion, for communication. See in the Scriptures how blessing and multiplication go together.5 Blessing always includes the power to bless others. Only give the word of the Almighty God, "I will bless thee," time to sink into your spirit. Wait upon God, so that He Himself may say to you, "I will bless thee." Let your faith cleave firmly to this. God will make it truth to you, above all asking and thinking.6
But for this reason you must also take yourself to the place of blessing--the land of promise, and the simple life of faith in those promises. "Get thee out of thy country and thy father's house," says the Lord. God would have departure and separation from the life of nature and the flesh, in which we are born of Adam. The offering up of what is most precious to man is the way to the blessing of God.7 "Get thee to a land that I will show thee," says the Lord, "out of the old life into a new life, where I alone am your guide." That is, a life where God can have me wholly for Himself alone, and where I walk only on the promises of God--a life of faith.
Christian, God will in a divine fashion fulfil to you His promise, "I will bless thee." Leave your homeland, your father's house, and your life and involvement with the world and the ways of the flesh. Enter into the new life--the life of the Spirit, the life in fellowship with God--to which He will lead you. There you become receptive to His blessing. There your heart becomes open to full faith in His word, "I will bless thee. "There He can fulfill that word to you, and make you full of His blessing and power to be a blessing to others. Live with God, separated from the world. Then you will hear the voice of God speak with power: "I will bless thee"; "Be thou a blessing."
Father, show me the way to that promised land where You bring Your people to have them wholly for Yourself. I will abandon everything to follow You, to hold converse with You alone, in order that You may fill me with Your blessing. Lord, let Your word, "I will bless thee," live in my heart as a Word of God. Then will I give myself wholly to live for others and to be a blessing. Amen.
Footnotes1) ( kjv@Matthew:5:44-45 kjv@Matthew:10:8 kjv@Matthew:18:33) 2) ( kjv@Isaiah:58:10-11 kjv@1Corinthians:13:5 kjv@1John:4:11) 3) ( kjv@Psalms:112:5 kjv@Psalms:112:9 kjv@Proverbs:11:24-25 kjv@Matthew:25:40 kjv@1Corinthians:15:58 kjv@2Corinthians:9:6 kjv@Hebrews:6:10) 4) ( kjv@Luke:24:49 kjv@John:7:38 kjv@John:14:12) 5) ( kjv@Genesis:1:22 kjv@Genesis:1:28 kjv@Genesis:9:1 kjv@Genesis:22:17 kjv@Genesis:26:24) 6) ( kjv@2Corinthians:9:8 kjv@2Corinthians:9:11 kjv@Hebrews:6:14) 7) ( kjv@Luke:18:29-30 kjv@John:12:24-25 kjv@2Corinthians:6:17-18)
1. God is the great, the only Fountain of blessing. As much of God as I have in me, so much blessing can I bring. I can work much for others without blessing. To actually be a blessing, I must begin with that word, "I will bless thee," then the other, "Be a blessing," becomes easy.
2. In order to become a blessing, begin on a small scale. Yield yourself up for others. Live to make others happy. Believe that the love of God lives in you by the Spirit, and give yourself wholly to be a blessing and a joy to those who are around you. Pray God to shed abroad His love in you still further by the Spirit. And believe very firmly that God can make you a greater blessing than you can think if you surrender yourself to Him for this purpose.
3. But this surrender must have time in solitary prayer so that God may obtain possession of your spirit. This is for you the departure from your Father's house. Separate yourself from men so that God may speak with you.
4. What do you think? Was Abraham ever filled with regret that he placed himself so entirely under he leading of God? Then do the same.
5. Do you now know the two words which are the source of all promises and all commands to the children of believing Abraham? The promise is: "I will bless thee." The command is: "Be a blessing." Please take them both firmly for yourself.
6. And do you now understand where these two words to Abraham are fulfilled? In separation from his father's house--in the walk in fellowship with God.

Bollywood films in Pakistan theatre this Eid
Eid is a big festival or Muslim holiday for Muselman people. Eid comes twice a year. One is Eid ul-Fitr (break fast) and another is Eid al-Adha (festival of sacrifice). However, all Islamic countries and its citizen are now celebrating Eid al-Adha. This holiday is also special for filmmakers. Ahead of this day, many film directors and producers plan to release their movie. Each country and its film industry try to release new films which are created by their own language. This year we can see different thing in
. Pakistani people could not see their own cinema. Their cinema theatres were dominated by English and Indian movies namely 'Jail', 'Tum Mile' and 'De Dana Dun'. It seems that bad time for Lollywood is coming. It happened for the first time in the history of the country. If it continuous then film industry in Pakistan will be destroyed. The demand of cinema is 40 to 50 but Lollywood is producing only 6 to 8. I can not understand that how they will tackle this situation. Pakistan

Romance in the rain: Fight between 'De Dana Dan' and '3 Idiots'
Romance sequence is a common thing in Bollywood movies. You can not expect any romantic movie without romance scene. And romance scene in rain is not new idea for Hindi movie lovers. Sometimes it becomes most talked topic than the movie. Now, we can hope to see a battle between two upcoming movies for their romantic scene in rain. Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif pair acted in 'De Dana Dan' where Aamir Khan-Kareena Kapoor acted in '3 Idiots'. These two films we can see these lead pair romancing in the rain.
However, Aamir Khan said that he and Kareena were looking so hot in the romancing scene. On the other hand, Akshay Kumar was surprised to see the romantic scene between him and Katrina. I am sure that these two films will box office hit and we can see a stiff competition between them.

Madhur Bhandarkar is not afraid of controversies but knows his limits as well
Madhur Bhandarkar is famous for making realistic movies. He always tries to show the reality of life. This time, he took a very controversial subject for his movie; Jail. Jail tells the story of the suffering of Parag Dixit, a bright young man with a successful career wrongly accused of possessing drugs and sent to prison. The movie then shows how things work inside a prison and how the brutality changes a human being forever. The subject is very much controversial and Neil Nitin Mukesh's nude scene caused another hoopla in the media. Regarding his movie, Madhur Bhandarkar said:
Regarding his knack for taking risks, Madhur said he first checks out his limitations. He made Chandni Bar in Rs. 1.5 crore, Traffic Signal for Rs. 4 crores and Fashion in Rs. 18 crores. Before getting into any movie, he does extensive research and knows the budget of his movies very well. He always focuses on recovering the money. For this reason, Madhur became a very successful director.
"I started Jail because of the subject that it was and I thought it was a terrific act to make that kind of cinema after Fashion. I always make contrasting cinema like after Corporate I made Traffic Signal and then Fashion. I again didn't want to go for drama. This time I thought why not make a drastic film or a radical film. Jail was a subject I had since long a time, and that idea struck to me again and I thought of making it this time."

"Idiots are thought to be very normal persons but at some point of time they prove themselves to be someone with extra calibre. They are not stupid, rather they come to limelight in an unconventional way. .. There are many people like this in history. When we see them initially, we feel amused, but later on we realize that they are doing the right thing. So, the tag line of the film is ''Don''t be stupid, be an idiot''.
This is not the first time, Aamir Khan played the role of a college student in the movie. In 2001, he tested success with Dil Chahta Hai, where he played a college student named Akash. Then he played DJ in Raang De Basanti. Let's see whether the audience likes him as an Idiot student this time.

Madhur Bhandarkar gets into the mind of the prisoner with Jail
Madhur Bhandarkar is a talented film maker but his films are not just mainstream paisa-vasool commerical movies, Madhur has made a name for himself as a serious movie maker. His movies try to show the reality of the society. In his latest outing as a director, he takes you inside the prison and the minds of the prisoners. Starring Neil Nitin Mukesh (Parag Dixit), Mugdha Godse (Maansi) and Manoj Bajpai (Nawaab), Jail tells the story how an innocent man ends up in a prison on false charges and then befriends with the inmates and gathers the courage to fight the system. From the promo and Madhur's reputation as a serious film maker, it can be easily understood that Jail is a serious movie and that is why this movie did not get much viewer in the theatres.
However, that does not mean the movie is lacks merit. Jail is a very well executed movie from all side. Madhur Bhandarkar, Manoj Tyagi, Anuradha Tiwari came up with a very strong script and Raghuvir Shekawat's dialogue breathed life into this movie.

Ranbir Kapoor: Saawariya is a Special Movie
Saawariya launched the career of two persons: Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor. No, they are not relatives. They just share the same surname. Anyway, Ranbir Kapoor is now a popular actor and he has a growing fanbase. Saawariya was a nice movie but did not do well in the box office. Both Ranbir and Sonam acted very well and received generous praise from the critics. However, when you are doing a commercial movie, box office matters. Still, Ranbir is happy that he did the movie.
"The film failed at the box office but it did not prevent me from doing new things. I felt like an underdog but the movie still holds a special place in my heart, it was a special film for me as it was my first film as an actor,"
"I received positive reviews for my performance and subsequently got good offers from Yash Chopra, Dharma Productions. Not only my family but the film industry also showed their support towards me. Even though the movie did not do well they said they liked my acting,"
This is his feeling about the movie.

A Dismal 2009 for Shah Rukh Khan
Shah Rukh Khan has recently turned 44, but the Bollywood superstar has not got the kind of success he was expecting this year. Shooting of a number of movies starring King Khan was delayed mainly because of his shoulder injury that forced him out of work for some time, and that is why, his much-awaited movie My Name is Khan opposite Kajol would be released on 12 February next year, even though the movie was supposed to get released this year. Doctor has asked him not to work for any action stunt in an attempt to keep his shoulder from any more strain, and this is the reason, shooting for Ra one, another upcoming movie starring Shah Rukh, has been postponed.
Moreover, the actor was very ambitious about his IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders who disappointed in this year's tournament. He signed former
Now, one thing is pretty much certain that Shah Rukh Khan would bounce back next year with a number of highly-anticipating movies. It is expected that most of his movies would be box office hit next year. Now, let us see if he can produce similar success with his IPL team too.

Trisha Krishnan can come under limelight?
Do you know Trisha Krishnan? She is not a popular face in Bollywood. Even many of you may not hear this name before. However, this actress is acting in Bollywood for several years. Now, she has got a challenging offer to work. This actress will be seen to work in a movie named 'Khatta Meeta'. In this film, she will work against Akshay Kumar. Priyadarshan will direct this movie. It will be shot in a small town Baramati, which is 100 kilometers away from Pune. It is a rural village where you can not find anything except dust. The story of this film has been revealed by Priyadarshan. Trisha will act in two different characters. I think that rural people will like her character. One question can come up to your mind that if she fails to impress the fans then what will happen. What do you think about it?

Lives of Illustrious Men – Simon Peter
Simon Peter the son of John, from the village of Bethsaida in the province of Galilee, brother of Andrew the apostle, and himself chief of the apostles, after having been bishop of the church of Antioch and having preached to the Dispersion – the believers in circumcision, in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia – pushed on to Rome in the second year of Claudius to over-throw Simon Magus, and held the sacerdotal chair there for twenty-five years until the last, that is the fourteenth, year of Nero. At his hands he received the crown of martyrdom being nailed to the cross with his head towards the ground and his feet raised on high, asserting that he was unworthy to be crucified in the same manner as his Lord. He wrote two epistles which are called Catholic, the second of which, on account of its difference from the first in style, is considered by many not to be by him. Then too the Gospel according to Mark, who was his disciple and interpreter, is ascribed to him. On the other hand, the books, of which one is entitled his Acts, another his Gospel, a third his Preaching, a fourth his Revelation, a fifth his "Judgment" are rejected as apocryphal. Buried at Rome in the Vatican near the triumphal way he is venerated by the whole world.

Deputy helps boy replace stolen bicycle
Butler Co. sheriff's deputy moved by boy's story
A Butler County sheriff's deputy stepped up on Monday to replace a bike stolen from a boy who lost his father this year.
Michael Smiley, 10, said he's happy with his new bike at his New Miami home after his original was stolen three weeks ago.
"I was on my way to the New Miami High School game. I walked, and when I came back here, it was gone," Smiley said.
Diana Smiley reported her son's bike stolen.
"It was on the porch, and they just came right up on the porch and took it," she said.
Butler County Sheriff's Deputy Matt Maxwell took the theft report and searched, but he couldn't find the bike. He said he was moved after learning of some other personal tragedies in the boy's life.
"Michael said, 'If my dad had been here, they wouldn't have taken my bike,'" Diana Smiley said. "I think it touched Deputy Maxwell. He said, 'Dad?' and Michael said, 'My dad died, and now people treat me bad.'"
So, the deputy called a contact with the Hamilton West Walmart and donated a new bike.
Diana Smiley choked up thinking about the act of kindness.
"I really, really appreciate him, and I thank him," she said.
Maxwell personally delivered the new bike Saturday morning.

University Town Center likely to get Cheesecake Factory
Justine Griffin/Sarasota Herald-Tribune
In a sign of the caliber of tenants that the developers of the Mall at University Town Center are working to lure, The Cheesecake Factory has tentatively committed to be one of several restaurants at the upscale shopping center when it opens in October 2014.
The Cheesecake Factory would be especially significant for the mall because it is a bellwether merchant — along with the likes of P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Crate & Barrel, Apple and others — that have mass appeal and supply cache to a community.
"Strong restaurant concepts like The Cheesecake Factory can almost become their own untraditional anchors in a mall," said Jeff Green, president of Phoenix-based retail consultancy Jeff Green Partners. "They can be as central to a property as a department store and fill big spaces."
It is unclear whether The Cheesecake Factory would open within the planned 880,000-square-foot mall or construct a free-standing restaurant on one of several planned outparcels.
Mall co-developers Taubman Centers Inc. and Benderson Development Co. said The Cheesecake Factory is among a number of restaurants that have shown interest in University Town Center, being built at Interstate 75 and University Parkway.
"We are speaking with many retailers and restaurants but have nothing to share at this time," said Taubman spokeswoman Karen MacDonald.
The Cheesecake Factory also declined to provide specifics on any Southwest Florida restaurants.
"The restaurant development team is always on the look-out for A-1 sites to further grow our Cheesecake Factory brand presence, and all sites that fit our criteria for success will be seriously considered," said Alethea Rowe, a spokeswoman for the chain.
Rowe said that publicly traded company plans to open 10 new restaurants nationwide this year.
The mall University Town Center, one of very few enclosed malls being built in the country, is expected to offer a blend of regional and national luxury chain retailers, similar to the tenant mix in Tampa's International Plaza and Orlando's Mall at Millenia.
The Cheesecake Factory operates restaurants at both of those Taubman-owned malls.
The restaurant, known for its expansive menu offerings and decedent cheesecake desserts, typically builds elaborate 10,000-square-foot to 12,000-square-foot restaurants. By comparison, an average 350-seat restaurant will measure about 4,000 square feet to 5,000 square feet.
The Cheesecake Factory's restaurants, too, are normally limited to exclusive shopping areas, upscale malls or urban centers with significant populations.
The Calabasas Hills, Calif.-based chain's interest in University Town Center and on expanding nationally comes as economic recovery throughout the U.S. is boosting its bottom line.
In the first quarter, the chain's net income rose 22 percent, according to a company quarterly report.
The brand noted that it benefited from an earlier than normal Easter holiday and a busier than average spring break season. Shares were up by 4.5 percent in late April following the release of its initial 2013 earnings.
But The Cheesecake Factory's restaurant at University Town Center, in keeping with recent internal development trends, could be somewhat smaller if plans reach fruition.
That is because in recent years the chain has scaled back its restaurant footprints — to 8,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet — as it entered more suburban markets and connected "dots" geographically between restaurants, said Darren Tristano, an executive vice president with Technomic, a Chicago-based restaurant consulting firm.
"This technique is designed for smaller markets, like Sarasota, which will in turn increase the brand's penetration in larger markets, like Tampa, and stretching to Fort Myers and Naples," Tristano said. "Their smaller-formatted store is a low-risk way to enter a market, and the restaurant will likely be even busier that way."
In addition to Tampa and Orlando, The Cheesecake Factory operates restaurants at the Brandon Town Center Mall in Brandon and the Coastland Center Mall in Naples.
The company also has a half-dozen restaurants in the Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami areas.
More to come?
Tristano and Green noted that by bringing The Cheesecake Factory to University Town Center, it signals that other national chain restaurants — now absent from Southwest Florida and with slightly higher check prices — will also flock to the area.
"Most of the time you see restaurants like this piggy back on one another," Tristano said. "If Cheesecake Factory opens, a steakhouse that's complimentary in nature will follow suit."
At the Mall at Millenia, The Cheesecake Factory shares space with The Capital Grille, Brio Tuscan Grille and P.F. Chang's.
At International Plaza, those same restaurants occupy the mall, together with Blue Martini, Ocean Prime, Zen Bistro Grill & Sushi, and other casual dining concepts.
P.F. Chang's, a popular high-end Asian fusion restaurant, is working to open its first Southwest Florida restaurant at Osprey Avenue and U.S. 41.
The chain intends to open there in July. Until now, the closest P.F. Chang's was in Tampa, though the chain's Pei Wei Asian Diner is open in a Benderson Development retail center on Cooper Creek Boulevard, across University Parkway from University Town Center.
"The clustering of restaurants will be good for the area, but it will split the offerings you normally see together, like Cheesecake Factory and P.F. Chang's," Green said.
Both Green and Tristano noted that having P.F. Chang's and The Cheesecake Factory in different sections of Southwest Florida will ultimately broaden the dining market overall.
"The grouping of restaurants is part of a strategic plan that generates traffic," Tristano added. "Having two areas of restaurant clustering creates more choices and ultimately different destinations for shopping, dining and entertainment."

Install on Unix
The installation of FreeCAD on the most well-known Linux systems has been now endorsed by the community, and FreeCAD should be directly available via the package manager available on your distribution. The FreeCAD team also provides a couple of "official" packages when new releases are made, and a couple of experimental Personal Package Archive (PPA) repositories for testing bleeding-edge features.
Once you've got FreeCAD installed, it's time to get started!
- 1 Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based systems
- 2 Debian and other debian-based systems
- 3 OpenSUSE
- 4 Gentoo
- 5 Fedora
- 6 Arch
- 7 Other
Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based systems
Many Linux distributions are based on Ubuntu and share its repositories. Besides official variants (Kubuntu, Lubuntu and Xubuntu), there are non official distros such as Linux Mint, Voyager and others. The installation options below should be compatible to these systems.
Official Ubuntu repository
FreeCAD is available from Ubuntu repositories and can be installed via the Software Center or with this command in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install freecad
Important Note: Chances are this stable version will be outdated, and not have the latest features. To get the last release version, please use the Personal Package Archive (PPA) options below.
Stable PPA with GUI
To install FreeCAD using the PPA, from the graphical interface, please follow those instructions. The FreeCAD community provides a PPA repository on Launchpad with the latest stable FreeCAD version.
You need to add to your system's Software Sources the following PPA. To do that navigate to Ubuntu Software Centre → Edit → Software Sources → Other Software. Click on add and copy and past the code below:
Refresh your software sources, if asked. Now, you can find and install the last stable FreeCAD version on the Ubuntu Software Center.
Stable PPA with console
Type, or copy-paste, these commands in a console to add the PPA:
For the "stable" PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable
Don't forget to retrieve the updated the package lists:
sudo apt-get update
Update synchronizes your list of available packages with the servers.
Then, install FreeCAD along with the documentation:
sudo apt-get install freecad freecad-doc && sudo apt-get upgrade
Upgrade downloads and installs the newest packages version of the installed programs. It will be applied to all the softwares installed on your computer.
Execute this command to open the stable version of FreeCAD:
Daily PPA with console
To install the last unstable version of FreeCAD, use the "freecad-daily" PPA repository on Launchpad. This way you can access the bleeding edge of FreeCAD development. This PPA is automatically compiled daily from the official FreeCAD's master branch repository. It will usually contain numerous bug fixes and feature updates.
To install the daily PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freecad-daily && sudo apt-get upgrade
You can then update to the latest daily at any time with:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freecad-daily
Run this command to open the daily compiler build of FreeCAD:
Debian and other debian-based systems
Since Debian Lenny, FreeCAD is available directly from the Debian software repositories and can be installed via synaptic or simply with:
sudo apt-get install freecad
FreeCAD is typically installed with:
zypper install FreeCAD
FreeCAD can be built/installed simply by issuing:
emerge freecad
FreeCAD has been included in the official Fedora packages since Fedora 20. It can be installed from the command line with:
sudo dnf install freecad
On older Fedora releases, that was:
sudo yum install freecad
The gui packages managers can also be used. Search for "freecad". The official release package version tends to be well behind the FreeCAD releases. Package: freecad shows the versions included in the Fedora repositories over time and versions.
More current versions can be obtained by downloading one of the .AppImage releases from the github repository. These work fine on Fedora.
If you want to keep up with the absolute latest daily builds, FreeCAD is also available on copr. To install the build from there, in a terminal session, enter:
sudo dnf copr enable @freecad/nightly
sudo dnf install freecad
That leaves the copr repository active, so
sudo dnf upgrade
or equivalent, will update to the latest FreeCAD build, along with updates from any of the other active repos. If you want something a bit more stable, you can disable @freecad/nightly again after the initial install. The copr repository only keeps builds from the past 2 weeks. This is not a solution if you want to pick a specific older version.
Instructions are also available on compile FreeCAD yourself, including a script specifically for Fedora. With a minor change, to checkout the specific commit from git, any version since about FreeCAD 0.15 can be built on any distribution since Fedora 21.
Installing FreeCAD on Arch Linux and derivatives (ex. Manjaro):
pacman -S freecad
If you find out that your system features FreeCAD but is not documented in this page, please tell us on the forum!
Many alternative, non-official FreeCAD packages are available on the net, for example for systems like slackware or fedora. A search on the net can quickly give you some results.
Manual install on .deb based systems
If for some reason you cannot use one of the above methods, you can always download one of the .deb packages available on the Download page.
Ubuntu 32/64bit AppImage 64bit
Once you downloaded the .deb corresponding to your system version, if you have the Gdebi package installed (usually it is), you just need to navigate to where you downloaded the file, and double-click on it. The necessary dependencies will be taken care of automatically by your system package manager. Alternatively you can also install it from the terminal, navigating to where you downloaded the file, and type:
sudo dpkg -i Name_of_your_FreeCAD_package.deb
changing Name_of_your_FreeCAD_package.deb by the name of the file you downloaded.
After you installed FreeCAD, a startup icon will be added in the "Graphic" section of your Start Menu.
Installing on other Linux/Unix systems
Many common Linux distros now include a precompiled FreeCAD as part of the standard packages. This is often out of date, but is a place to start. Check the standard package managers for your system. One of the following (partial) list of commands could install the official version of FreeCAD for your distro from the terminal. These probably need administrator privileges.
apt-get install freecad
dnf install freecad
emerge freecad
slackpkg install freecad
yum install freecad
zypper install freecad
The package name is case sensitive, so try `FreeCAD` as well as `freecad`. If that does not work for you, either because your package manager does not have a precompiled FreeCAD version available, or because the available version is too old for your needs, you can try downloading one of the .AppImage releases from the github repository. These tend to work on most 64 bit Linux distributions, without any special installation. Just make sure the downloaded file is marked as executable, then run it.
If that still is not good enough, and you can not locate another source of a precompiled package for your situation, you will need to compile FreeCAD yourself.
