We are in the middle of summer and you can definitely tell! This summer has been a scorcher. Much like the heat, concert festivals have come to be the standard summer fare. With huge festivals such as Lollapalooza, Newport Folk Fesival, Coachella, and Bonnaroo happening all summer long, it is clear this is a musical trend. These concerts, although fun, take a ton of energy to produce from sound and lighting to sanitation and bottled water. It is a wonder how any of these massive productions could ever be sustainable. Some of these musical showcases are making huge efforts with carpooling, recycling, promoting reusable items and green vendors, however, could there really be a truly sustainable festival?
Enter the Montreal International Jazz Festival. As we mentioned a few posts ago, we recently vacationed in Montreal. Our trip was perfect timing as we were there during the Jazz Festival. As we stepped foot into the massively crowded fest, we saw multiple stages, disposable bottles, and lighting every where we turned. We couldn't help but wonder, how much energy is this festival consuming? But all around the festival signs were highlighting that the Jazz Fest had been "Carbon Neutral" since 2008. On top of their carbon neutrality, much of the merchandise was produced locally in the US and Canada with organic cotton and recycling bins were readily available.
This certainly was impressive and satisfied my aching conscious enough for me to sit back and enjoy the bands. But when I returned home, I really started thinking about those words: carbon neutral. What exactly did it mean? Were they saying, they were running everything on renewable sources, did they somehow find the perfect eco-friendly energy source, or was this another bit of Greenwashing? The curiosity was getting the better of me and I researched this "carbon neutral" festival.
It turns out the festival is a bit of both; Greenwashing and sustainability. No, the fest did not run on generators powered solely by the sweat of the jazz musicians, but they were purchasing carbon offsets. Carbon offsets may seem like a great solution: essentially you are donating money to projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, however, is the festival really carbon neutral? They are using massive amounts of energy and even if they donate money to say, a tree planting organization. Is that really going to make up for the energy they used to fuel a month-long day and night festival?
The truth is, they are trying to be legitimate about turning Green, even devoting a whole webpage to the explanation of their carbon offsetting program and defining their carbon neutrality as: "calculating total climate-damaging greenhouse gas emissions from an event, organization or business, reducing them where possible, and then balancing the remaining emissions by purchasing high quality carbon offsets." Their transparency website states how much of their festival they offset (100% from electricity to travel for the musicians) and where the money is going (Planetair, a Montreal based NGO devoted to supplying high quality carbon offsets.
Even though their system may not be the ideal (sweat some more, trumpet players), they are making an effort. In the end, they are bringing to light that these festivals eat up TONS of energy and are not sustainable in their own right. It would be great to see more of the festivals moving in the same direction or even better take a cue from Sasquatch! who runs their festival on a combination of Wind Power and offsets. Either way, we are delighted to see so many of the major players attempting to be serious about their energy use. Who knows, someday we may have summer festivals running on the readily available solar power. We certainly have the summer sunshine for it.

Few scenes in nature give off menacing vibes as effectively as flashes of lightning dancing around a tower of ash being spewed angrily from the fiery maw of a volcano. It's enough to catch the Eye of Sauron. Any scientist seeking to replicate this phenomenon in a laboratory might reasonably be asked to prove that his or her last name isn't Frankenstein.
While the ability to make measurements high in the eruption plume has allowed researchers to learn about mechanisms that cause lightning there, the understandable difficulty of working near the vent of the volcano has kept science at bay when it comes to looking into the lower regions of an eruption. A team of researchers (none named Frankenstein) at Germany's Ludwig Maximilian University led by Corrado Cimarelli built an experiment that allowed them to study the conditions that trigger lightning at the base of the eruption plume.
Their apparatus consisted of a tube that connected a chamber filled with pressurized argon gas and ash with a tank of air at atmospheric pressure and temperature. Where the tube meets that tank, a pair of ring-shaped antennas measured electric potential, an instrument recorded pressure, and a high-speed camera filmed the eruption at 50,000 frames per second.
Ash from several volcanoes was separated into different particle sizes, and the material was used in the laboratory eruptions, along with some tiny glass beads. Experiments were run with only small particles, only large particles, and both. The different ash samples, as well as the glass beads, allowed the researchers to see whether the chemical makeup of the particles made an important difference.
There were three phases in each of their experimental eruptions, as you can see in the video above. First, the pressurized argon would start gushing out of the tube after it was released. As the ash particles followed, they spread out from the main jet because of the pressure difference. While most of the particles traveled in the same direction, smaller particles around the outside of the jet would be caught up in turbulence. As the pressure difference decreased, this turbulent region would eventually dissipate, leaving the orderly core of the jet.
It was during the second, turbulent, phase that the miniature lightning discharges flickered around the outside of the jet in large numbers. When only large particles were used, none were scattered by the turbulence and no lightning occurred. The behavior was the same no matter what the particles were made of.
So what is it about the turbulent motion? There are a number of ways in which individual particles build positive or negative charges—mostly collision interactions—but those charges need to be separated to trigger an electric discharge. The turbulence creates a lot of complex motion that inevitably clusters particles together. If one cluster happens to be dominated by particles with negative charge and another is positive, you get lightning. When there are multiple sizes of particles, each behaves differently during the eruption, which can also help create charge separation.
Beyond understanding the lightning in eruption plumes, the researchers point out that this knowledge could help in forecasting the behavior of the ash clouds that disrupt air traffic, for example. An important factor in making accurate forecasts is knowing how much fine ash is in the plume. If tracking lightning activity near the vent could provide accurate information about changes in ash content, it would make for better forecasts.

Near 60? Get a Financial Check-Up
As we age, we gain wisdom. When researchers examined the financial behaviors and attitudes of nearly 5,000 working Americans, the most confident and well-informed were those with the most experience.
But even the savviest and most experienced among us need financial planning check-ins along the way, especially as we edge closer to retirement. It can help to have a trusted financial advisor for guidance on critical issues, including:
Many retirees expect Social Security benefits alone to cover living costs in retirement. The fact is, many people need about 75 percent of pre-retirement income to maintain their lifestyle, and Social Security will probably replace only about 40 percent.1
Underestimating healthcare costs is a common pitfall. Medicare premiums keep escalating and a serious illness may require high out-of-pocket expenses. A married couple, both age 65 in 2020, may need up to $365,000 in retirement just to cover healthcare costs.2
A key decision for many seniors is whether to remain in their current home. Over one-third of homeowners age 65 to 74 still owe monthly mortgage payments.3 Add in the cost of upkeep, insurance and taxes, and the home may become too expensive to sustain in retirement. But the emotional ties to stay may be very strong.
So, if you're accustomed to making financial decisions on your own, how can you stay confident when retirement is on the horizon? Just as a physician provides wellness check-ups to reduce your risk of serious disease, a financial professional can help you adjust to this new chapter. Here are some questions to consider when speaking with an advisor:
- How can I live comfortably in retirement?
- What is guaranteed income?
- How can I optimize my Social Security benefits?
- How can I ensure my healthcare costs will be covered?
- How is my tax situation changing and how can I create tax advantages?
- Should I consider downsizing, or stay where I am?
- What risk level is appropriate for my life stage?
- Is my legacy plan still relevant?
Financial expertise and unbiased guidance can help you sort out these critical questions, so you can enter retirement with confidence.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
You will never receive the love destined for you, or give the love you are destined to give, if you fail to realize the love you are.
You are a pure gift. At every breath you draw, your existence is breathed into you. It is Love; it is from Love. Love creates you, and Love is the substance of you. The pain of life hides this truth from you, but it is nonetheless true – truer than all the loss, truer than all the suffering. Existence itself – your very own existence – is pure Mercy.
– From Charles Upton's excellent and insightful book, Reflections of Tasawwuf.
Ya Haqq!

keannu, I suggested in another of your threads, that this is a topic to be raised in the Linguistics forum. It is too academic a question to cover here. I will happily devote hundreds of hours and many, many A4 pages to a discussion on this - but not in the 'Ask a Teacher' forum. Most people come to this forum for a fairly simple answer to a (usually) fairly simple question.

- 4 6-ounce 1-inch-thick fish fillets with skin (such as salmon or black sea bass)
- Coarse kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 large head of escarole, coarsely chopped (about 8 cups packed)
- 3 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar, divided
Recipe Preparation
Line baking sheet with plastic wrap. Arrange fish, skin side up, on sheet. Spread coarse salt generously on skin to coat completely. Chill uncovered 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 475°F. Rinse salt off fish; pat until very dry. Place fish, skin side up, on work surface. Using large knife with edge of blade perpendicular to skin, scrape surface of skin to remove any moisture, wiping blade clean often. Using razor blade, score skin in 1-inch crosshatch squares. Sprinkle with pepper.
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in each of 2 large ovenproof skillets over high heat. Add 2 fillets, skin side down, to each skillet. Sear until skin is crisp and brown, about 4 minutes. Place skillets in oven (do not turn fish) and roast until fish is just opaque in center, about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons oil in large pot over medium high heat. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Add escarole and toss until beginning to wilt, about 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
Mound escarole in center of 4 plates. Top with fish, skin side up. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar.

The music's the best thing about the peculiar, demurely prurient "Hyde Park on Hudson," starring Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Laura Linney as his spinster fifth cousin, Daisy Suckley. Setting the scene, and the mood, for this anecdotal account of FDR's pre-war sexual escapades one weekend in 1939, composer Jeremy Sams soaks the movie in a sly and charming recurring theme, a habanera rather like a buttoned-down variation on the famous aria from Bizet's "Carmen."
It's lovely. But it isn't enough to lift this middlebrow, middleweight and middling project, adapted by dramatist Richard Nelson from his 2009 radio play, above its misjudgments and limitations.
Not that any writer owes us verifiable truth in the guise of drama, even when events can be verified, but here are the true bits in "Hyde Park on Hudson": Months before World War II broke out in Europe, FDR and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt invited King George VI and the Queen of England (the ones from "The King's Speech") for a weekend to Hyde Park in upstate New York. This was a first: No reigning British king had ever visited the U.S. in this way, or any way. George VI sought FDR's commitment to join the imminent war. FDR and Eleanor sought to give the royals a good old-fashioned USA-style picnic, with the insulting and lowly hot dog playing the role of the entree.
In 1991, when Suckley died, correspondence and journal entries revealed her clandestine relationship with FDR, an intimate and sexual one to a degree we'll never know because she didn't grind through the details. Nelson's radio play, and screenplay, attempts to treat that weekend in the country as easygoing bedroom comedy, with just enough drama to make sense of the characters involved. The clucking royals (Samuel West and Olivia Colman) are shown as astonished by the skulky horndoggery afoot, centered around the man with the wheelchair, the pince-nez and the reassuring witticisms.
Linney's performance is essentially voice-over work: Narrator Daisy talks a lot about her role in the events, both as insider and outsider. But the role itself never comes to life as a living, breathing, active participant, despite Linney's skill. Murray offers some fine and crafty detail work as FDR, even if he struggles to capture the vowel sounds and the moneyed patrician quality of FDR's public image. (He's the reason to see the movie, despite the problems.) Olivia Williams strains against her own miscasting as Eleanor. Most of what's wrong with "Hyde Park on Hudson" — directed, smoothly and without provocation, by Roger Michell — begins and ends with Nelson's surface treatment of the events as he imagines them.
And now for the sex act, arriving, abruptly, 15 minutes into "Hyde Park on Hudson." It's destined to be this minor picture's major talking point. FDR is out for a drive with Daisy, and he waves his security detail away so they can be alone, amongst the wildflowers and the breeze. After some hesitation she obliges the president with manual stimulation, which rocks the car a bit but is filmed from a careful and discreet distance. (It's actually a ridiculous reason to slap the movie with an R rating; in Canada, the ratings for the movie have ranged between G and PG.) "Hyde Park on Hudson" barely knows what to make of the very scene it's stuck with showing, so soon, just as we've settled into the notion of Murray doing FDR — let alone someone else doing him.
'Hyde Park on Hudson' -- 2 1/2 stars

The ILLZ - Melfi lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somebody tell me what's the meaning
The hunt for dough, I'm fiending
I feel it like I been dreaming
The hunger that I be feeding
Is similar to my demons
Beware of the all dooming
Need for the greed, I see it, it's all looming
Around the perimeter, tempers is just fuming
Wishing they could give it up, I need a shot
Working with what I got
And believe me it's not a lot
Promise to never stop
Though I'm feeling just like a prop
Empty and so square
Feels like I'm not there
I'm standing in the background, no one really cares
Throughout these sad years
I swear that it ain't fair
I'm gone
[Verse 2]
And maybe I'm not there
My vision in the mirror, I met with a deep stare
Who am I?
He that never dies
Born to touch the sky
With a cry
I exclaimed, get me lames let em try!
But they're lifeless
A choice that you make could bring you a crisis
They say you'll pay for it
But never mention the prices
A wise man told me, just listen because its like this
Grow old without living if you remain indecisive
So take a chance
Turn your life around, change ya plans
The hardest choices are the ones that really make the man
And don't be hesitant to motivate and make demands
Don't waste your time trying to make em understand
If they never did, they never will
Talking plans on the phone with Ill
Lets give them something they could feel
Grind harder
When life is full of problems then you starve her
Instead of being saddened and blaming it on your karma
A chink on the armor
Still remain a beast
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/the-illz/the-pursuit/melfi.html]
Can I please say my piece?
Can somebody let me speak?
Been a month since I actually enjoyed myself
I'm trying to take it to the point where I enjoy my wealth
Well, you know you gotta have it to enjoy it
And beef it comes around no matter trying to avoid it
Whenever I feel that I could win
It begins
Thoughts of second guessing is coming up from within
You ever felt unappreciated?
So underrated?
A few seconds from feeling like you made it
But everyday it's harder not to hate it
Back when I was younger
I felt all the pressure that I was under
Looking for acceptance
One day it just made me wonder
Forget this drama, I'm leaving it for them young ones
I distanced from the haters
And vowed to never become one
I'm tainted
I'm filled with the hunger of being famous
While staring at the world, I decided I wanna change it
Nobody could feel me, nobody could smell the fragrance
Of greatness
Like I was speaking another language
It deepens
All of these haters, they only praying that I weaken
I hope my state of mind one day could reach them
Something inside em and spark a fire
I hope one day you welcome whatever your heart desires
No bad wishes
Recollections of my dad, listen
He's telling me to take a risk, saying that's living
That's giving
With all you got to it
My mind, it ran through it
Seen it all in past visions
I look up to him with this admiration
He's saying live life, forget the hesitation
And make decisions with little deliberation
I married money and art, and made it my inspiration
They told me, son when u get older
You might have the world up on your shoulders
But we built you to get over
Just be a soldier

This will bring the total number of U.S. forces in Iraq to nearly 800.
Earlier in June, the president pledged a group of 300 military advisers to "train and advise Iraqi forces." The arrival of the military advisers led to the first offensive by Iraqi forces since ISIS began its takeover of northern and western Iraq. At that same press conference, Obama declared, quite forcefully, that "American forces will not be returning to combat in Iraq."
That may not be exactly true anymore. In his letter to House Speaker John Boehner, President Obama explained that these troops would not only be reinforcing security at the embassy in Baghdad, but would also be "equipped for combat." This would bring the total number of U.S. forces in Iraq to nearly 800.

Investment in energy-saving technology will cut costs by up to 15%
PERC Water Corp.'s water recycling facility in Santa Paula, Calif., is estimated to save the city up to 15% in wastewater treatment power consumption costs.
This facility is the first of its kind to be built under California's new government code Section 5956 that encourages private investment to solve public infrastructure needs. Construction of the facility began in July 2008 and will commence operation before Dec. 15, 2010. It will serve the city's population of approximately 30,000 people.
"In this environment of rising energy costs, we understand the pressures cities face in reducing power consumption while continuing to maintain the quality and efficiency of all public infrastructure projects," said Juergen Nick, PERC Water's vice president of design and engineering. "The water recycling technology we are employing in the Santa Paula Facility sets the industry bar as it helps to control and minimize operational energy costs while delivering the smallest environmental footprint possible."
Highlights of the Santa Paula Water Recycling Facility's energy-efficient features include:
• Innovative lighting design. Energy savings from a combination of natural lighting, LED lamps, mercury vapor exterior lights, electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps, light sensors and automatic dimming devices will exceed the State of California's Title 24 energy-efficiency requirements.
• Energy-efficient membrane scouring and aeration system. As membrane scouring and aeration account for nearly half of the facility's power consumption, PERC Water chose to employ the most energy-efficient air production and usage systems on the market. The facility's turbine blowers use precision technology to control, monitor and specifically adjust the airflow for aeration over a wide range of operations. The UV disinfection system uses amalgam lamps to generate UV light.
• Smart controlling system. The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system has the ability to gather, display, track and store live data generated by the facility. It is designed to consistently update operators on the exact status and measurements of all of the facility's processes such as air flow, water flow and tank capacity. The SCADA system is also equipped to notify operators of abnormal conditions.
Southern California Edison (SCE) encourages its clients to participate in Savings by Design, a program that promotes high-performance building design and construction. As a result of the energy-saving measures PERC Water has incorporated, SCE will be issuing them a grant towards offsetting incurred higher equipment costs for achieving the program's goals.
Santa Paula Water, LLC, a company formed by PERC Water Corp. and Alinda Capital Partners, was awarded a 30-year concession with the City in May 2008. PERC Water is under contract with Santa Paula Water, LLC, to design, build and operate the new 4.2-million-gal-per-day water recycling plant, replacing the city's existing wastewater treatment facility, built in 1939.
In April of this year, PERC Water and Alinda Capital were presented with the Global Water Intelligence (GWI) Global Water Awards' 2009 Water Deal of the Year Award of Distinction for the Santa Paula Water Recycling Facility. The Water Deal of the Year award recognizes deals that have made the biggest contribution to the advancement of public-private partnerships in the international water sector in 2008.

La cathédrale comme dissuasion
mardi 5 juin 2007
Brighita Bercea
Robert B. Ekelund
Robert D. Tollison
Abstract :
This paper suggests that, while medieval cathedrals served many purposes and, indeed, were some of the greatest technical achievements of their time, they served a rational economic purpose as well. Protestant entry into the market for Christian religion finally materialized in the early sixteenth century. The Roman Catholic Church did not make a 'mistake' in failing to forestall entry. We argue that the Church made a conscious rational effort to do so by supplying excess capacity and particular forms of capital in medieval cathedrals. While the attempt to forestall entry was ultimately unsuccessful, the extent of cathedral building helps explain why some areas of Europe remained Catholic and alternative forms of Christianity took hold in other locales.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for awhile and finally decided to join you. My streak started March 2. I'm painfully slow - but I'm trying not to focus on that. For now I'm trying to increase my mileage and avoid injury. I've found the streaking keeps me from getting so tight and sore - and it is getting much easier. I'm running my first race on Saturday with DH. My goal is to not finish last - which should be doable, since they allow walkers on the course!


text: Barry McGee comes from a background of creating unsanctioned work on city streets. Over the years, his signature tags and markings have inserted elements of the individual and the handmade into a depersonalized urban landscape that is increasingly crowded with corporate logos, trademarks and advertisements. Working outdoors and in public spaces necessitates certain anonymity for him and needs to be performed quickly and stealthily in areas that command maximum exposure. When this artist turns his ambition loose inside the museum, however, his artistic intentions change significantly with the context. In most instances, work commissioned for museum walls is no longer about pulling off elaborate stunts and feats, seeing how precarious and high a wall or fence he has climbed, how secure an area he has penetrated, unnoticed, in broad daylight, under security surveillance. Rather, its main concern is breaking down the concept of the museum as an elitist fortress, turning it inside out to welcome the gritty vitality and energetic pace of the city streets into its hushed gallery environment.

At Minnesota Zoo, some upgrades will wait
APPLE VALLEY, Minn. (AP) — The new Hawaiian monk seals at the Minnesota Zoo will have to wait.
Officials at the zoo in Apple Valley wanted to renovate a million-gallon tank in Discovery Bay to house the seals. The zoo needs another $1 million to finish that work before the seals can move in.
But state lawmakers didn't approve the $15 million the zoo requested in construction borrowing.
Plans to remodel the zoo's snow monkey exhibit are also on hold.
The zoo is moving forward with privately funded projects. That includes a new "Crossroads Park" with a carousel featuring endangered species. That will go where the zoo's Replay Park now sits on the Northern Trail.

Does he play "banker" with his Jewish friend too?
You'll recall that earlier in the week we wrote about the chairman of the Republican party in Maine, Charlie Webster, who was very concerned about reports that "dozens" of black people were voting a week ago Tuesday (or as I call them, "binders full of black people") Being a good Republican, Webster's mind went to vote fraud. If he'd been a Democrat, he'd have thought "how nice, historically under-represented minorities are exercising their rights of citizenship."
Webster is now sorry if any of it sounded racist. And he'd like you to know about his black friend, who plays basketball:
"There's nothing about me that would be discriminatory. I know black people. I play basketball every Sunday with a black guy. He's a great friend of mine.
In all fairness, not that the party whose entire presidential campaign was built on a never-ending series of lies deserves our fairness, but I've never been a great fan of the "guilt by association with the 'some of my best friends are" line.
In truth, having black friends does suggest that you're probably not a total total racist. The thing is, racism, or sexism, or anti-Semitism, or homophobia are all a lot more subtle than whether you have friends or not among any particular category. You can have gay friends you play basketball with, but still be against gay marriage and think that gays would make bad parents (and I think each of those views is based on a kernel of prejudice, whether the holder of those beliefs realizes it or not).
So the "having friends" defense is hardly absolute. But it's also hardly the "gotcha!" people tend to make of it either, IMHO. Having gay friends is a step towards understanding us, and appreciating us as real human beings. Perhaps people recoil at the line because so many bigots use the defense as some kind of "get out of jail free" card, to prove that they're not bad people.
Webster went on to explain why the appearance of "six or eight or ten" black people voting in Maine made him immediately think of voter fraud:
"I regret saying the word black because it wasn't like I was singling out black," Webster said. "The reason I said it, 'cause I don't know where you live, but where I come from in rural Maine, it's a small percentage of the population. I think we're the whitest state in the country. So if you go to the polls and see people who are black, it's unusual. And when you see a lot of people who are black, like six or eight or ten people, you think, 'Wow, where do they live?' That was my point."
Six or eight black people? What a minute, I know this story:

A reasonably comfortable, nice performance vehicle
By GL on Wednesday, March 27, 2019This transit with the 3.7 L engine drives great with plenty of power for driving the hills and mountains of east tennessee. It handles curves and street driving ok as well. I am averaging 16.6 mpg. The only performance problem I have encountered is some rather strong buffeting behind a semi at highway speed. When I backed off about 75 feet the buffeting was only slight. The front seats aren't the best with just fabric covering and rather poor small arm rests. But they are reasonable comfortable. The rear 13 seats, small, cramped, etc are fit for only short trips of 30 minutes or less. At 6ft 3in tall I am unable to stretch my legs out completely which makes driving long times a bit difficult. The overhead interior is starting to pull away from the walls of the vehicle leaving small 1/4-1/2 inch gaps. Finally, getting in the van is awkward, both for me and my 5ft 7in tall wife. If I go straight for the seat it's a bit high and I have to slide onto the seat. If I first step onto the interior step, I then am too high and may bump my head. She has to pull herself in using the handle on the passenger side.

Great van, except for the drivetrain issue.
By Dru on Friday, August 24, 2018Weve owned this van for 16 months and it has done great on trips and around town. The drivetrain has become an issue and the techs at Ford cant figure out how to correct it; its been in the shop many days over the last few weeks.

so far so good on 2015 lwb, mr, eco, premium, sync
By workvan on Sunday, February 28, 2016I have been driving now for 14 months, 26k miles, and I tend to drive long drives without lots of stopping. No major work, had recall on air filter which got replaced. I also had to take it in to get SYNC update as I couldn't do it. I have the a lwb, ls 3.31, ecoboost, mid roof, premium package, leather, autostart, and sync. So far so good overall. Tows like a dream with plenty of power. It is more expensive than competition except Sprinter...and even that is fairly close. So only time will truly tell if this was worth the money. I wish I had gotten the 3.73 axle just because I am towing....and for the size/power I feel the transit should be able to haul/tow more. Also, if you put in a cargo cage, it completely kills the use of a power seat as the seat wont recline and I could manually adjust for as much as it is mobile. Tis is a great van to load and haul if light/mid weight....I avg about 18.5 mpg, even loaded at 60 mph. I towed 7300 pounds by accident and was rather amazed at the power and ease of stopping, and 13.5 mpg average. I normally tow my cargo trailer, even loaded its 3500 pounds. The van itself is 6000 pounds, and gcwr is 11200....so I can tow and load 5200 pounds, which fortunately for me is enough, but for many it may seem light. I feel it should do better, but not without going over recommended limits set by Ford. I got this loaded van for about 39k, and 2.9 apr.....so am happy so far. Time is the real evaluator. Also, the resale value is really terrible....which surprised me....I spent 39 on a van that listed 42.5.....and within a year it is only valued at 26....that's a 33% drop pretty much immediately, and that doesn't include the $5000 ramp, cargo mat, cage, and diamond plating I added. I might as well have set fire to them.....I outgrew the van quickly, so had to buy a trailer which I figured is a better value if you don't mind a trailer. Cost me 8000 for a great one with 400 cu.ft room, where as a long high transit would have cost me exactly the same to get an extra 100 sq ft.

Asteroid 1998 QE2, will fly past Earth at a distance of 3.6 million miles. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
Asteroid 1998 QE2, a space rock more than nine times as long as the QE2 ocean liner, is due to sail past Earth on Friday — generating a huge wave of observations and online commentary.
The 1.7-mile-wide (2.7-kilometer-wide) near-Earth asteroid won't pose any threat to our planet: Its orbit will bring it no closer than 3.6 million miles (5.8 million kilometers) at 4:59 p.m. ET. Nevertheless, it's sparking interest because it's big enough, and coming close enough, to serve as a valuable target for scientific study.
1998 QE2's passage is also stoking public interest because it's coming just three and a half months after a much smaller asteroid broke apart spectacularly over Russia. NASA and the White House are using Friday's event to turn the spotlight on planetary science as well as the space agency's plans to fend off potential cosmic threats and send astronauts to snag an asteroid in the 2020s.
"Let's find the asteroids before they find us, and in the process learn more about the secrets of the solar system and other potential opportunities these space rocks present," Phil Larson, a policy adviser for space and aeronautics at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, wrote in a blog posting.
The teachable moments begin Thursday. Here's what's you can look forward to:
See the asteroid on video: NASA Administrator Charles Bolden joins experts from JPL and the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex in a video presentation that features live telescope images of 1998 QE2. You can watch the hourlong show starting at 1:30 p.m. ET Thursday on NASA Television, or on Ustream.tv with live chat capability. Tweet your questions to @AsteroidWatch.
When Asteroid 1998 QE2 makes its closest approach to Earth on May 31, 2013, it promises to be a bonanza for radar science. Watch a video from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Chat about the asteroid: Bill Cooke of the Meteoroid Environment Office at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama hosts an online chat from 8 to 10 p.m. ET Thursday.
White House gathers the geeks: The White House is hosting a "We the Geeks" Google+ Hangout about asteroids at 2 p.m. ET Friday, with OSTP's Cristin Dorgelo serving as moderator. Video guests include NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver; Bill Nye the Science Guy (who is executive director of the Planetary Society); former astronaut Ed Lu, who heads the B612 Foundation and its effort to build an asteroid-hunting space telescope; Peter Diamandis, who wants to turn asteroids into riches as co-founder and co-chairman of Planetary Resources; and Jose Luis Galache, an astronomer at the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center. The Hangout can be watched via the White House Google+ page. Tweet questions using the hashtag #WetheGeeks, or post them as comments on the Google+ page.
Train a telescope on it: Even at its closest, 1998 QE2 is too dim to see with the naked eye or binoculars. Its maximum visual brightness is expected to reach 11th magnitude, which could be within the range of respectable telescopes. Local midnight is the best time to look for the asteroid, but you have to know exactly where to look. David Dickinson provides plenty of guidance on the Universe Today website.
Slooh Space Camera
A May 28 image from the Slooh Space Camera Online Telescope shows 1998 QE2 in the center of the frame. Background stars show up as streaks because the telescope was moving to keep its focus on the asteroid.
Watch it online: Slooh Space Camera has scheduled an online viewing party starting at 4:30 p.m. ET Friday, which is a half-hour before the time of closest approach. A telescope set-up in the Canary Islands will deliver imagery of 1998 QE2 out via Slooh's website as well as its iPad app.
Watch for asteroid updates: It looks as if #asteroidQE2 and #1998QE2 are the favored hashtags for updates about the space rock's flyby. You'll also want to keep an eye on NASA's Asteroid Watch website and JPL's Facebook page. Even though the closest approach comes on Friday, radar astronomers will be observing 1998 QE2 through June 9 using NASA's 230-foot-wide (70-meter-wide) Deep Space Network antenna at Goldstone, Calif., as well as the 1,000-foot-wide (305-meter-wide) Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The radar imagery will be key to determining 1998 QE2's size and shape with greater accuracy, and you can expect NASA to share that imagery in the weeks ahead.
And about that name ... 1998 QE2 wasn't named after the Queen Elizabeth 2 ocean liner. Instead, it follows the naming system used by the IAU for asteroids. The object was discovered on Aug. 19, 1998, by MIT's Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research program in New Mexico, also known as LINEAR. The "1998" in the provisional name denotes the year of discovery. The "Q" means it was discovered during the latter half of August. The "E2" is a code given to the 55th object discovered during the half-month. Wikipedia explains the system in greater depth. Eventually, LINEAR could propose a less wonky name for approval by the IAU. But there's no rush: The next time 1998 QE2 is due to come this close is in the year 2221.

Roasted Butternut Squash Salad
My friend Stephen Drucker described a warm butternut squash salad that he'd been served and asked if I could make one. Why not? I love the interplay of hot and cold plus the sweet butternut squash, tart dried cranberries, nutty Parmesan, and bitter arugula.
While squash is roasting, combine apple cider, vinegar, and shallots in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until cider is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Off the heat, whisk in the mustard, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Place arugula in a large salad bowl and add roasted squash mixture, walnuts, and grated Parmesan. Spoon just enough vinaigrette over the salad to moisten, and toss well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately. For this salad, I grate the Parmesan on a box grater as I would grate carrots.

Random House Home Video began releasing Sesame Street videos in 1986, under the label My Sesame Street Home Video.
The packaging originally had a bordered photo of Muppet characters. The picture was held by an illustrated Big Bird, and the logo was the Sesame Street sign, with "My" written where the "CTW" logo is usually printed, and "Home Video" underneath the Sesame Street text. Cookie Monster was also illustrated holding the logo, which had a bite mark on the left. The back of the packaging included a list of other videos in the collection. By 1992, the video covers were redesigned, removing Big Bird and using different border colors. These videos originally came with a small activity book, which was discontinued in the early 1990s.
The title sequence had an animated opening with Cookie Monster biting the street sign, followed by a fade to black and, in many of the releases, Cookie exclaiming "Delicious!" Then the title would appear in either chalk board or printed lettering, with Big Bird announcing the video title. The closing sequence had an illustration of Cookie Monster holding a chalkboard with the credits listed.
Videos in this collection from 1986 include: Learning About Letters, Learning About Numbers, Getting Ready to Read, I'm Glad I'm Me, Play-Along Games and Songs, and Bedtime Stories & Songs.
Videos released in 1987 include Learning to Add and Subtract, Getting Ready for School, Sing-Along, and Big Bird's Story Time.
Four more were released in 1988: Count it Higher: Great Music Videos from Sesame Street, The Best of Ernie and Bert, The Alphabet Game, and Big Bird's Favorite Party Games.
After this, Random House stopped releasing new videos under the My Sesame Street Home Video label, instead releasing television specials, new-to-video specials without the label, and a new collection called Sesame Songs Home Video. Then in 1994, Random House released two more of these videos: A New Baby in My House, and The Best of Elmo. For both of these videos, Elmo read the video title, and the closing featured stills from the videos. When Random House released Put Down the Duckie, the video featured a promo for the My Sesame Street Home Video line, even though the video itself was not under that name.
In 1995, Sony Wonder started releasing Sesame Street videos. Although those videos that were originally released by Sony Wonder (e.g. Cookie Monster's Best Bites, Do the Alphabet, and Elmocize) had the My Sesame Street Home Video opening, the packaging did not promote My Sesame Street Home Video, and when Genius Entertainment gained the license, most (if not all) re-releases of previous videos edited the opening sequence.
Most of these videos were also released by Sony in Japan, with the same logo but different cover art. In Japan, the covers featured an illustration of a character as opposed to a live action photo.
Video Numbers
Each video was numbered with a proof-of-purchase box on the side:
- Learning About Letters
- Learning About Numbers
- Getting Ready to Read
- I'm Glad I'm Me
- Play-Along Games and Songs
- Bedtime Stories & Songs
- Getting Ready for School
- Learning to Add and Subtract
- Sing Along
- Big Bird's Story Time
- The Alphabet Game
- Count It Higher: Great Music Videos from Sesame Street
- The Best of Ernie and Bert
- Big Bird's Favorite Party Games
- A New Baby in My House
- The Best of Elmo
- The key Muppet Performers in original material for most of these videos included Caroll Spinney (Big Bird, Oscar), Martin P. Robinson (Snuffy, Telly), and Kevin Clash (Elmo, Hoots). Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt also performed their characters in new material for several videos, while characters performed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz mainly appeared in preexisting inserts.

Translation by adorablestew via Robsteners "Jsyk, this is a tabloid, so take it with a grain of salt!"
Berliner-kurier How do you become a father in Breaking Dawn?
Bella is practically dead only a C-section can save her baby. And I make it - while I bite my way through her iron-hard amniotic sac ...
Thank you, that's enough. How to play such a horror scene?
I was wondering that too. For the first time in all the Twilight films I felt nervous. Especially because I was all on my own in a scene. Kristen wasn't there. I was the midwife of a rubber dummy.
Twilight doesn't make it easy for the young lovers. First you and Kristen do not have sex at all, then the first night results in "Rosemary's Baby".
(laughs) I hope we don't keep the people from having babies.
And especially not from you. Are you looking forward to become a father?
Father, yes. Young father, no. I have no experiences with children. And there aren't any in the circle of my friends. And I don't even have a little brother. You should have seen me when we were filming the scenes. With two babies who weren't older than 2, 3 weeks. I was afraid that I could break them.
Love is fragile, too. Have you ever experienced this?
(thoughtful) When you're in love, you're in a hopeless situation. As if you hadn't control over your life anymore. Let's put it that way: I could empathize quite well with this feeling of helplessness.
Tell us what you expect from the perfect love relationship.
That the partners give each other the freedom to do whatever they want. At the same time, that they support each other in everything. And protect each other.
Is gallantry inquired with Kristen?
When you don't exaggerate it. Like me during our sex scenes. There were only a few people in the studio but I always pulled up the sheet so that she was covered till here (puts his hand like a yardstick above his nipples).
Did Kristen have inhibitions?
It was exactly the opposite. She felt quite comfortable in her bare skin. More comfortable than me at least.
But we'll get to see you with a bare chest for the first time.
In all sequels I didn't need to take off my shirt. So I thought "It's the last one, so why not".
You really have muscles.
Yes, I worked out a bit. But on the very same day when the scene was done, I quit the bodybuilder program. It was simply too boring.
What does filming sex scenes with his wife feel like?
Yes, wife. They say that you were married by a real priest onscreen.
There is some truth (smites his forehead with mock horror). And we don't even have a marriage contract. Honestly, that was quite a strange thing. The priest obviously forgot that he was in a studio and during the ceremony he didn't address us with our names but with Robert and Kristen.
Even if this wedding vow doesn't count, you now know at least, what's going on at a wedding.
A husband never knows that anyway. The groom is just a prop. Whatever the bride decides will be made.
Is it clear already, who will be cooking in your marriage?
Of course, Kristen. She can do that. She already cooked for everyone during filming. And I stuffed myself.
They say that there's been just a friendly contact between you and Kristen for a long time. Sometimes friendship and passion don't go well together.
(laughs) If there's a lot of passion in a friendship, then you should probably sleep together.
Could you quit your career for your personal life or would the job take priority?
A lot of people say that they sacrifice everything when they have a baby. I don't believe that this is necessary. You can do something without neglecting other things. If you give up everything what represents you and your life, then something goes wrong. However, for me this doesn't come into question.
What do you love about Kristen?
Her determination to be herself. That impresses me. She fights for individuality. And she takes everything that she says, very seriously. (grins) Unlike me...
Robert, the eternal teenager.
(bursts out laughing) Even this is still too old. I still feel like 12. Obviously I don't know how to grow up.

I have never really been a Muppets fan, well except of the exquisite style of one Miss Piggy, and I am loving that InStyle US are celebrating her first on-screen appearance in 12 years with an eight-page spread.
Hitting newsstands on Friday, the November issue Miss Piggy editorial is filled with custom-made designs by the likes of Prabal Gurung (pictured above), Jason Wu (below), Brian Atwoood, Suno, Opening Ceremony, and Giles & Brother. I love the white Prabal Gurung design as it is a classic, and the signature Jason Wu feathers, but the one there I am most excited about seeing has to be Suno, I am expected a vibrant print dress.
What I found really funny when looking at WWD's coverage of this editorial is that they called Miss Piggy a 'plus size' how crazy is that – she is a muppet for god sake!!
Also keep your eyes peeled to InStyle's Facebook page as they are releasing a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot on there later in the week.
I so can't wait to pick up my copy.
The movie which hits screens in November sees Miss Piggy playing a Paris Vogue fashion editor, and designers including Zac Posen and Christian Louboutin have made her costumes. Is that enough of a reason for me to go see it?? Sadly, it probably is!!!
Also I am super excited about the make-up movie tie-ins as well coming in November: the Miss Piggy for MAC make-up collection, which will only be available online, features eye shadow in Miss Piggy Pink, black eyeliner, and faux lashes; and then OPI have created 12 limited edition nail shades, six shimmery reds and neutrals, plus six glittery shades, sadly though only three of them are named after Miss Piggy – they are the best ones though!! My favourite being Gettin' Miss Piggy With It! a flamboyant glittery red – a pure diva colour!!

Re: RPG: The Naltoon Assault
Griffin awoke for the second time from his sleepy state. this time in a Bacta container. Wither several leads protruding from his skin. He looked at the gunshot wound on his shoulder. it was just a scar now. a horrible looking scar as they had grafted skin from somewhere else to replace the skin that had been destroyed. Griffin noticed something from the corner of his eye. it was the surgeon.
"Corporal, glad your awake....again" The surgeon beamed at Griffin
"Yea, time to get out of here doc!" Griffin sighed
The surgeon played with the keypad and soon the bacta was filtered out of the container. leaving griffin in his birthday suit.
"Well yes, i'll leave you to get yourself dressed. your armors over there. New armor mind you. cant have you running around with damaged armor now can we?" The surgeon smiled
"Cheers doc!" Griffin said as hurried out of the container and over to his newly aquired armor.
"I'll expect you in treatment room 6 for a debrief in 2 hours Griffin!" The surgeon ordered
"No time, i got a date!" Griffin answered, picking up his A 280, slinging it over his shoulders he hurried for the exit.
His plan was to go to where he had last seen dodger but first things first
"Sarge? Its griff, if you can hear me. im out and im operational ready. any news on dodge or quarry...Over!" Griffin said into his comms.

In addition, Richard Cook, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., will receive the Astronautics Engineer Award for his personal engineering leadership as both the Mars Science Laboratory's flight systems manager and project manager.
The awards, offered to recognize significant achievements in space science and enterprise, will be presented at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. on March 22. The award recipients are selected by panels of experts from across the aerospace and defense industry.
Mars Science Laboratory successfully deposited the car-size Curiosity rover onto the Martian surface in August 2012. Since then, Curiosity has been beaming back images and data, as part of its quest to investigate whether an area within Mars' Gale Crater has ever offered an environment favorable for life.
The National Space Club is a non-profit organization devoted to fostering excellence in space activity through interaction between industry and government, and through a continuing program of educational support. A full list of 2013 award winners is online at: http://www.spaceclub.org/awards.html .

India's current account deficit (CAD) will be contained at less than $40 billion this financial year, well below the record level in 2012-13, said Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Friday.
"On the CAD, the Budget speech says it will be contained below $45 billion. Today, 23 days before the end of the year, we can say confidently that the CAD will be contained at below say $40 billion," said Chidambaram.
The CAD, the excess of foreign exchange outflows over inflows, narrowed to $26.9 billion (3.1 per cent of GDP) in the first half (April-September) of 2013-14 from $37.9 billion (4.5 per cent of GDP) in the first half of 2012-13.
The CAD narrowed sharply to $4.2 billion (0.9 per cent of GDP) in Q3 from $31.9 billion (6.5 per cent of GDP) a year earlier as merchandise exports picked up and imports moderated, particularly gold imports, the RBI said on March 5.
Both the government and the Reserve Bank of India had taken steps to restrict gold imports, one of the main causes for the widening CAD in 2012-13.
The government increased customs duty on gold thrice in 2013 to 10 per cent and the RBI imposed a series of curbs on inward shipments of the metal.
Chidambaram also expressed confidence the government would achieve the revised fiscal deficit target of 4.6 per cent in 2013-14.
"We will achieve the fiscal deficit target for the current year. The revised estimate says 4.6 per cent and I am absolutely confident that we will achieve the target," he said. The gap between expenditure and revenue was 4.9 per cent of GDP in the previous financial year.
After taking over as Finance Minister in August 2012, Chidambaram had drawn up a financial consolidation road map to lower the fiscal deficit to 4.8 per cent of GDP in 2013-14, 4.2 per cent in 2014-15 and 3.6 per cent in 2015-16.

Twitter No Longer Bothering to Tell You That It's Down
If you tried to use Twitter in the last two hours, there's a very good chance you ran into some kind of problem. So you don't need Twitter's status page to tell you there's a problem.
Which is good, because according to Twitter's status page, there hasn't been any problem. Got it?
Alas, there's no mystery about why Twitter struggled this morning: Everyone* was using it to squeal with dejection, delight, then outrage about the U.S.-Slovenia World Cup game. And Twitter did indeed warn us that it could struggle during big World Cup games this month.
So if you're planning ahead: The next U.S. game, against Algeria, starts at 10 am Eastern next Wednesday, June 23. Probably best to find another service to use that morning.
*Technical note: Not everyone.

Herman Cain's candidacy has reached "a tipping point," one Iowa conservative leader said Monday, as some Republicans here reacted with distaste to fresh allegations about inappropriate behavior — from a fourth accuser who isn't anonymous.
The Des Moines Register re-interviewed 15 conservative Iowans who participated in the Iowa Poll two weeks ago, and 11 of them said Sharon Bialek's detailed allegations about Cain groping her in 1997 are troubling enough to at least make them question the retired restaurant executive's fitness for the White House.
Cain was 31-year-old Sioux City resident Joe Sandvick's top choice in the Iowa Poll, but on Monday, Sandvick said the new claims draw the candidate's character into question "dramatically."
"If there's one allegation, that's one thing. When there's two, there's smoke. And when there's three or four, then you've got a full-blown fire," said Sandvick, a tea party supporter. "Usually if you've got that many people coming forward, it's got to be somewhat true somewhere along the line. They can't all be in cahoots and say it's a conspiracy."
Some of Cain's Iowa backers, including Pottawattamie County GOP Chairman Jeff Jorgensen, immediately came to Cain's defense.
But other Iowa conservatives said the fact that Bialek identified herself and gave an on-the-record account of an alleged groping incident is a game-changer.
Bob Vander Plaats, president of the Family Leader, a conservative organization that promotes Christian values, said Cain needs to address these allegations head-on, or a "cloud of doubt will envelop his candidacy."
"The Iowa and American voter are fair when humility, sincerity and authenticity are communicated. This is a tipping point for the viability of his campaign," Vander Plaats said.
Longtime Republican strategist Doug Gross of Des Moines summed up his reaction to Bialek's description of the events with one word: "Yuck."
Steve Scheffler, head of the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition, advised Cain to be forthcoming.
"Denying some of the charges and then sometimes later saying he remembers some of the facts is not helpful," Scheffler said.
Cain backer: 'Can we trust this man'?
Minister's wife Donna Riley, 39, of Logan, who picked Cain as her top choice in the October Iowa Poll, said last week she would continue to support Cain. But on Monday, she said the allegations of physical harassment are worrisome.
"When the man says nothing happened, or it was nothing big, well, this sounds a little bigger than that," said Riley, a born-again Christian. "I still like a lot of his stuff, but it does show, 'How can we trust this man?'"
Riley said she wants Cain to explain in detail what happened with Bialek. "If he did it, just be truthful about it."
Leslie Bockenstedt, 43, of Dyersville, who identified herself as very conservative in the Iowa Poll, said Monday that it was courageous for Bialek to come forward in a news conference that aired live on CNN.
"It gives it a little bit more clout that she was willing to do that," Bockenstedt said. "But you have to weigh out both sides — is this a witch hunt?"
She also said, "If there's any fragment of truth to those allegations, that's not the kind of professional person that I would want sitting in the White House."
Meanwhile, some other Cain backers seemed unperturbed.
Jorgensen, chairman of the Pottawattamie County central committee, said he still backs Cain wholesale.
With all the accusations flying around, Jorgensen said, he still hasn't heard "very credible evidence."
"If it was proven in a court of law, that's relevant," he said. "But this hearsay — no witnesses, he said/she said kind of stuff, that could go on forever and not prove anybody's point."
Lawyer: Accusers fear retaliation
Des Moines lawyer Matt Brick, who practices employment law, including sexual harassment cases, said juries deal with evidence every day where there are no witnesses or proof other than testimony from the two people involved.
"It's just a simple matter of credibility," he said. "I think most juries in Iowa would find it interesting if people are saying that with just he said/she said evidence, they can't rule one way or another on whether someone is liable or not liable of discrimination or harassment."
Des Moines lawyer Roxanne Conlin, an expert on sexual harassment cases, said there's often a pattern of harassment. And most victims don't report being sexually harassed.
"The reason they don't is they fear retaliation. They fear not being believed and they fear making it worse," she said. "Three-quarters of those who do report do suffer retaliation."
Conlin noted that when two women who worked for the National Restaurant Association and filed internal complaints against Cain, their harassment allegations were handled with financial settlements and confidentiality agreements.
"He kept his job. What happened to theirs? They lost their job," Conlin said.
Poll respondent Ann Barker, 63, of Sioux City, a cook at a private school, believes Cain. She scoffed at the allegations.
"If you really think about it, they tried three ladies, and that didn't work, the polls were still the same, so they said, 'We've got to come up with something extra.' When you think about exactly how she explained it, it's really not believable."
Staffer: Don't rush to judgment
Herman Cain's Iowa campaign chairman Monday night asked Republicans here not to rush to judgment.
"Iowans need to take a look at where Herman Cain stands on the issues and measure that against what our country needs," Steve Grubbs said in a telephone interview. "Fifteen years ago there was an opportunity to learn the facts. That opportunity passed, and it's unfair to try a candidate in the court of public opinion when the details are that old."
Cain hired Grubbs, a Davenport-based political consultant and former state GOP chairman, last month to head his Iowa campaign after a series of well-received debate performances pushed him to the top of national polls.
"As the chair of the campaign, I would ask Republicans to give us some time and watch what Herman Cain says and does moving forward, and I'm confident they will like what they see," Grubbs said.

Napoli beat Manchester City 2-1 today in UEFA Champions League play. Edinson Cavani scored both goals for the Italian side. He hadn't scored since late October, and his breaking of the drought put Man City in a tough spot for advancing to the knockout stage.
However, the side note worth making note of involves Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik's pregnant wife getting carjacked at gunpoint a few hours before the match.
Local reports before the Group A clash suggested that the Slovakian playmaker would miss the game following his wife's ordeal, in which armed men stopped her BMW in Naples before threatening her with a gun.
Hamsik's wife, Martina Franova, was forced to abandon her car before it was driven off by the men, who dumped the vehicle in Ceselle, near Naples. Police were able to find the car as it was fitted with a tracking device and it has since been returned to Hamsik and his wife. An investigation has been launched.

The Dangers of the Last Days.* 1But understand this: there will be terrifying times in the last days.a 2People will be self-centered and lovers of money, proud, haughty, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, irreligious,b 3callous, implacable, slanderous, licentious, brutal, hating what is good, 4traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5as they make a pretense of religion but deny its power. Reject them.c 6For some of these slip into homes and make captives of women weighed down by sins, led by various desires,d 7always trying to learn but never able to reach a knowledge of the truth.e 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so they also oppose the truth—people of depraved mind, unqualified in the faith.f 9But they will not make further progress, for their foolishness will be plain to all, as it was with those two.
Paul's Example and Teaching.* 10You have followed my teaching, way of life, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, persecutions that I endured. Yet from all these things the Lord delivered me.g 12In fact, all who want to live religiously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.h 13But wicked people and charlatans will go from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived. 14But you, remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it,i 15and that from infancy you have known [the] sacred scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.j 16* All scripturek is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness,* 17so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work.l
* [3:1–9] The moral depravity and false teaching that will be rampant in the last days are already at work (2 Tm 3:1–5). The frivolous and superficial, too, devoid of the true spirit of religion, will be easy victims of those who pervert them by falsifying the truth (2 Tm 3:6–8), just as Jannes and Jambres, Pharaoh's magicians of Egypt (Ex 7:11–12, 22), discredited the truth in Moses' time. Exodus does not name the magicians, but the two names are widely found in much later Jewish, Christian, and even pagan writings. Their origins are legendary.
* [3:10–17] Paul's example for Timothy includes persecution, a frequent emphasis in the Pastorals. Timothy is to be steadfast to what he has been taught and to scripture. The scriptures are the source of wisdom, i.e., of belief in and loving fulfillment of God's word revealed in Christ, through whom salvation is given.
* [3:16–17] Useful for teaching…every good work: because as God's word the scriptures share his divine authority. It is exercised through those who are ministers of the word.
* [3:16] All scripture is inspired by God: this could possibly also be translated, "All scripture inspired by God is useful for…." In this classic reference to inspiration, God is its principal author, with the writer as the human collaborator. Thus the scriptures are the word of God in human language. See also 2 Pt 1:20–21.
a. [3:1] 1 Tm 4:1; 2 Pt 3:3; Jude 18.
c. [3:5] Rom 2:20–22; Ti 1:16.
f. [3:8] Ex 7:11, 22; 1 Tm 6:5.
g. [3:11] Acts 13:50; 14:5, 19 / Ps 34:20.
h. [3:12] Jn 15:20; Acts 14:22.
k. [3:16] Rom 15:4; 2 Pt 1:19–21.
