Where She's From: Lovely musician and model Esdra Richardson, whose Zodiac sign is Libra, was born and raised in the beautiful island of St. Maarten.
"I was taught humility, kindness and above all respect for myself and others,� she tells The Black Star News. "My parents were a great influence then and continue to be my anchor as I pursue success and happiness in my life. I am extremely grateful to have my family in my life, they truly make me see the positive in the world and make life worth living.�
Esdra completed most of her early schooling in St. Maarten. She earned her bachelors degrees from the University of South Florida in marketing and Africana Studies. "I am now a graduate student at USF pursuing my Masters of Business Administration,� says the brainy beauty. "I launched my modeling career about a year ago, but have been singing and dancing for most my life. I have been part of countless choirs and dance troupes. I have been featured on CD and also tracks, what they call dubs on the islands, for djs.�
Where She's At: "I am now completely focused on my school and attaining what I have set out for,� she continues. "Modeling however is starting to come around. My singing had been put on hold when I came to Florida, but I am looking for avenues where I can express myself. Perhaps I can get lucky where all of my interests can come together.�
"Most people want to be famous but I on the contrary want to be successful,� Esdra adds. "If fame comes with that, so be it. I ideally want to become a very successful print model that can perhaps spin off to various other opportunities such as acting, singing, dancing. I also love spoken word, so I have a lot of aspirations within the entertainment industry. Outside of that I have other practical aspirations within the business world. I am a bit of an entrepreneur and have many dreams that I would like to realize.�
Esdra faces the industry's challenges head on. "I am not 5' 11�. It is obvious that I can never be a runway model, but I also do not want to be what they call an urban model where my self worth lies in the measurement of my bust and hips. With perseverance I am confident that I will land where I want to be, or at least very close.�
The entrepreneur in Esdra led to the creation of her promotions group, SLS Promotions. "I intend to spin this off and attain more entrepreneurial ventures under my belt. I have worked with a lot of photographers and am now doing some work with production company that is on the rise. I am also about to be featured in a calendar,� she says. "I will most definitely be happy to finish my studies and have my MBA, so I can really get things started.�
"As much as we like to deny it, beauty gets you places and opens up a lot of doors for you,� Esdra says. "The key to having brainpower along with this, is the fact that once beauty opens that door for you, brainpower is what helps you open other doors for yourself. We all know beauty fades, intellect is what can help you capitalize on those achievements.�
So how does the rising model, musician and business woman prepare to step out? "Well I am a Victoria Secret kind of girl. I love their lotions and perfumes. I love shoes, so the brands would be too much to mention. As far as clothing goes, I have a lot of Guess, DKNY, BabyPhat. I tend to only wear make up for my photo shoots, so I don't really have a favorite. I use what shoots the best.�
Esdra's Words Of Wisdom: "Live life like there's no tomorrow. There's no greater moment than right now. I've learned how short life is, and how moments of happiness can be lost through trivial things. One should never regret anything that they do but rather learn from their mistakes.�
Esdra's Secrets Of Success: "Perseverance, commitment, ambition. Quitters don't win and winners don't quit. My secret is to know what I have to achieve and never allow failure to be an option. So far, it has helped me to be the person I am today.�
Esdra's Favorite Three Movies: "The long kiss goodnight, Scarface, and
Love Jones.�
Esdra's Favorite Three Books: "Their eyes were watching God, Push, and Brothers and Sisters.�
Three Leaders That Most Inspire Esdra: "Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, and Martin Luther King.�
The First Three Things Esdra Would Do As President: "Bring the troops back home to their families; stop spending money on wars and feed the poor; and, figure out a way to lower the increasing trade deficit.�
Esdra's Favorite Cars: "Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, Porsche. What all these cars have in common is that I look so good in them—They are some sexy accessories.�

Al-Qaida in Somalia. ...
We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa
The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.

It looks like multibrushes will be added at some point in the future. I wanted to suggest allowing the additional brushes to be added or subtracted from the original brush.
-You could have a normal circular brush (positive) with a smaller circle inside of it (negative) and the end result would be a ring shaped brush.
-A positive circular brush and a negative circular brush offset from the 1st. This would create a crescent shape. If you can scatter the 2nd shape, then you could end up with a random variety of crescents. But it would be cool to control them by stroke direction or tilt/azimuth.
Where this would get really cool is when you add soft edged brushes. This would allow you to create "wet edged" brushes.
And lastly, you could have the additional brushes add or subtract from 100 to -100%, respectively. Then you could have regions of varying opacity within a brush shape.
I can already envision myself creating some REALLY complicated brushes.

Young Researchers Conference
In this talk, I will talk about recent developments in studying strongly coupled gauge theory using the gauge/gravity duality in string theory. In particular, the inclusion of fundamental degrees of freedom and finite chemical potential is reviewed. As an example, I will discuss the results from analyzing the gravitational dual of a none-supersymmetric gauge theory at low temperature and finite baryon chemical potential.
After a brief motivation for studying 3d gravity, a review of Strominger argument will be given, showing that 3d quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant is a conformal field theory. Classical phase space tools will be introduced to develop semi-classical analyses of gravity with zero cosmological constant, and, with negative cosmological constant and closed timelike curves.
Relational particle mechanics are theories of relative angles and relative (ratios of) separations only. These bear a number of resemblances to the geometrodynamical formulation of general relativity and as such are useful analogues for at least some approaches to the notorious problem of time in quantum gravity.
In this talk we propose a Reduced Phase Space Quantization approach to Loop Quantum Gravity. The idea is to combine the relational formalism introduced by Rovelli in the extended form developed by Dittrich and the Brown-Kuchar-Mechanism. The relational formalism can be used to construct gauge invariant observables for constrained systems such as General Relativity, while the Brown-Kuchar-Mechanism is a particular application of the relational formalism in which pressureless dust is taken as the clock of the system.
I will talk about meta-stable supersymmetry breaking vacua in SQCD and Seiberg-Witten Theories. Also I will mention their string theory embeddings
We will consider stability in the string theory landscape. A survey over several classes of flux vacua with different characteristics indicates that the vast majority of flux vacua with small cosmological constant are unstable to rapid decay to a big crunch. Only vacua with large compactification radius or (approximately) supersymmetric configurations turn out to be long lived. We will speculate that regions of the landscape with approximate R-symmetry, while rare, might be cosmological attractors.
Warped backgrounds in string theory are useful tools for building phenomenological models of early universe cosmology and particle physics. In particular, warped backgrounds play an important role in constructing viable models of brane inflation and can help explain the presence of hierarchies in particle physics. One interesting feature of warped models is that subtle differences in the warped geometry can lead to significant differences in observational signatures in the CMB and at the LHC that can be used to distingiush different models.
The spacetime or histories approach is a whole attitude to quantum mechanics in which histories are fundamental rather than states. In this talk we will review a suggested dynamics and a suggested interpretation in this framework, phrasing the dynamics of stochastic collapse models in the histories language then proceeding to explore a new realist interpretation suggested by Rafael Sorkin and examining its perspective on the Kochen-Specker result.
We describe the measurement statistics of the balanced homodyne detection scheme in terms of the moment operators of the associated positive operator measures. In particular, we give a mathematically rigorous proof for the fact that the high amplitude limit in the local oscillator leads to a measurement of a rotated quadrature operator of the signal _eld. Using these results, we also show that each covariant phase space observable can be measured with the eight-port homodyne detector.

Does your search for an appropriate free gaming app end up with finding something that you are not at all interested in? Ever dreamt of getting an app that's free and that can in turn help you find free gaming apps? Fortunately your search ends here with the new Appstore application called – Games 4 Free. Farewell to all those ineffective methods of finding out a proper free app.
What is Games 4 Free?
Games 4 free, is a totally new style of finding out all the apps that are free. The application opens up with a list of completely free apps. The main screen contains 5 different tabs namely: Featured, Top Free, Recommended, Wish list and Search. The list also contains the games that were initially paid, but are now free. Against each app, there lies a "free download "option that can be utilized to download the app.
The Featured Tabs
Featured: Pops up a list of basic games that a gamer can start with.
Top Free: This tab introduces a list of top free apps.
Recommended: Gives you a list of all the favorite and most desirable games in the list.
Wish list: Lets you tap on a particular game and save it to the wish list .This can later be used to download your game. Lets you instant access without having to search for the game again.
Search: Helps you to search about a particular game.
Games For Free puts a halt to all your hurdles of searching for a free game application and downloading it. Games For Free is an app that's exclusively made to explore the various games that are absolutely free without having to spend a single penny on them.
The best thing about this app is that it facilitates the entry of just free games on Appstore and strictly restricts the paid ones. During a period of time, if any free game gets into the category of becoming a paid one, Games For Free, immediately eliminates that app from the list thus making things more clear to the end user.

I've been a Pocomail/Barca user for many years and I want to tell you my story with this software which I think it was and could be a great project but now looks like an abandoned one.
Once I had:
One program for mail
One program for spam control
One program for Pim
I thougth that with Barca I could have had all in one, and it was true for a very short time but then, the bayesian filter showed not to be so effective, even, after playing a lot with its parameters, and as I receive nerly 800 spams daily this was really a problem (I had some important false positives), then I went back to to a third party spam control program.
Because of my job I have to forward many times html commercial messages but I can't do it with Barca, forward as attachment is not an option for two reasons:
1) Some clients are in mail servers that don't allow .eml attachments
2) Some times the messages forwarded must not contain any info from the origin, not just the sender but the headers too.
Then again, I started using another mail program just to forward html mesaages.
Later I also needed digital certificates and some mapi access so the secondary mail program became the default, and barca became the manager of some mail accounts where I needed to use some scripting.
I had to stop the Barca Pim because:
1) Still a bit buggy
2) Lack of basic fetures (I couldn't sort task by date)
3) No sync with mobile devices (only promises for the future)
So, I'm back where I started, using different programs for each thing.
I have to use the english version when my native language is spanish because the international versions don't come anymore.
As I read in many messages, support seems to be inexistent ignoring mail from users.
I remember long time ago when Poco Systems staff used to answers questions in this forum, now, Only Eric answers questions (and he is not Poco staff).
I keep reading this forum hoping to see the Barca project growing up again. but if no changes are made users will start silently changing software.
Please take note that every complaint here really means: "I want to keep using your software, do something about it!!"
Most user just dont't complain and just stop using it.
This is just my humble point of view...

Costa Rica has a lot to offer expats with its tropical climate, eco-friendly culture, beautiful beaches, welcoming people, good healthcare system and relative safety. Many expats warn newcomers about the high cost of housing and food. In this updated version of the best places to live in Costa Rica we cover many more locations such as Playa Flamingo, Nosara, Lake Arenal, Jaco Beach and Ojochal.
Expats talk about some of the biggest challenges they've faced living in Latin America. Whether you're moving to Panama City or Punta del Este, this article is a must read to help you prepare (hint: you'll be much happier if you learn the language) and adjust your expectations (realities: the roads are rough, the pace of life is slower and bureaucracy is unavoidable). Despite all of the challenges, the list of what expats like about life in Latin America far exceeds the challenges.
Why retire in San Isidro de Heredia, Costa Rica? Can you live on $1,000 or $2,000 a month? How difficult is it if you aren't fluent in Spanish when you first arrive? A retiree who arrived in Costa Rica a month ago answers these and other questions.
An expat who has lived in Costa Rica gives all kinds of great advice on living there. Cost of housing, what to bring with you, how to settle in and much more is covered in this comprehensive expat report.

Hi Christopher, something is fishy with your expression: dg/dt = Norm(Grad g) * Laplacian(Grad g / Norm (Grad g)) On the left side you have a scalar. On the right side you have Laplacian(Grad g ...) what is a vector. Maybe you mean Div( Grad g / Norm (Grad g))?????

The Centenary of the Cartel's Charter.
So it's the 100 year anniversary of the creation, by legislation, of the Federal Reserve. How appropriate that not more than two weeks ago I picked up a used (but basically new) copy of G. Edward Griffin's The Creature from Jekyll Island? I've always wanted this book, but given opportunity cost, I tended to put off going out of my way to buy it. Finding a recent (perhaps the latest) edition at a bargain center for less than $2.00, however, proved irresistible. I think maybe I should start it tonight in honor of this day. Or at least give this another listen:
End the Fed!!!

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — A Ukrainian skier has withdrawn from the Olympics to protest the deaths of anti-government protesters in her country.
Bogdana Matsotska tells The Associated Press "I don't want to participate when in my country people die."
The 24-year-old skier is refusing to ski in Friday's slalom, her third and best event at the Sochi Olympics.
Matsotska says Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych "has to be jailed, and for a long time ... for all the lives that he took."
She says "I hope that I will be heard by the world."
Matsotska wants to join protesters in Kiev's Independence Square but says she's been unable to book a flight home.
She is remaining with her father, who coaches her, in the Olympic athletes' village in the mountains above Sochi.

If one person or entity takes a position on an issue, does that undermine someone else's free speech?
On its face, that doesn't make sense.
Yet it is a key basis of a lawsuit by the Maine Heritage Policy Center against the Maine Municipal Association (MMA).
This case was brought over two years ago but now, with the MMA speaking out about the impact of the LePage budget on towns and taxpayers, the MHPC has highlighted the case.
The MMA has been around for a long time — since 1936 — and it's one of 49 such groups in the United States. And its functions are like those other state-level groups — providing services to towns and cities and "advocating for collective municipal interests."
The MHPC doesn't want the MMA to advocate, at least not on ballot measures
Here's what the Maine Heritage Policy Center says about its suit against the MMA.
In June 2010, MHPC's Center for Constitutional Government filed suit on behalf of three individual plaintiffs and Cyr Plantation against the Maine Municipal Association. The complaint alleged violation of the individual plaintiffs' First Amendment rights by the MMA due to the MMA's active support of or opposition to five citizens initiatives from 2002-2009.
Now, this seems odd. How would taking a position on tax initiatives like TABOR threaten anyone else's free speech rights?
To support their position, the MHPC's legal statement cites cases from other states where MHPC-like groups also tried to silence groups like the MMA.
MMA contributions to and participation in PACs supporting or opposing Direct Initiatives violate the individual Plaintiffs' First and Fourteenth Amendment rights because it is government "taking sides" and conferring an unlawful advantage to one side in the particular initiative question in direct contravention of the nation's democratic process and contrary to "the root philosophy of a republican form of government", Mountain States Legal Foundation v. Denver School District, 459 F.Supp. 357, 360-61 (D.Colo. 1978), aff'd on other grounds, 704 F.2d 501 (10th Cir. 1983), and are "direct governmental interference with an initiative", Colorado Taxpayers Union, Inc. v. Romer, 750 F.Supp. 1041, 1045 (D. Colo. 1990), appeal dismissed for lack of standing, 963 F.2d 1394 (10th Cir. 1992).
But there's something odd about citing those cases. And that's that the courts that heard those cases didn't agree with the MHPC-like groups' positions that one person's free speech rights are violated by a group taking a position. One case was "dismissed for lack of standing" and the other was affirmed "on other grounds."
The MHPC makes another argument though.
And that's that the MMA shouldn't take a position because it's a "quasi-governmental organization," not really but sort of like a government.
In response, the MMA says that it has rights as a government entity.
Remember when Gov. LePage said he could remove the labor mural because that move was consistent with rights of "government speech"? The judge that decided that case and said it was ok as a matter of "government speech" is involved in this case, too.
And in September 2011, Judge Woodcock said that the MMA would have the right to take a position if what it did was government speech.
In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 case, the Plaintiffs claim that the Maine Municipal Association (MMA) violated their constitutional rights by taking sides in citizen initiatives and expending public funds for partisan political activity. The MMA defends itself by saying its actions constitute government speech. To be protected as government speech, the speaker must be part of government and the record is insufficient to determine whether MMA is an arm of government.
And this whole definitional question still has not been resolved. In September 2012, Judge Woodcock wrote:
After the parties originally filed their motions for summary judgment, they proceeded to nitpick each other's statements of material fact and ended up presenting the Court with an undifferentiated tangle of disputed facts. They could not even agree on how to describe MMA, its sources of funding, and its role in the tax reform initiatives. Faced with the obligation to determine whether there was a single genuine issue of material fact among a set of documents bristling with disputed facts, both large and small, beginning with the very identity of the [MMA].
Thus it's important to "resolve in the first instance whether the government speech doctrine applied to MMA to begin with."
This case isn't done.
And I'm no lawyer or constitutional law scholar, but find this quite interesting as a matter of politics.
It's another conservative effort aimed at trying to silence a group, to knock them out of the political sphere.
Conservatives have done this other places and have tried to undermine non-profits and unions.
In Maine, the MHPC is trying to keep the MMA from taking positions on ballot issues related to their members, many of the state's towns and cities.
Perhaps the MHPC wants to bring yet another TABOR to ballot and they'd prefer the MMA can't organize against it. (Of course, even if the MMA didn't get involved in such a campaign, plenty of other groups would oppose another TABOR. And we might remember that when it was last on the ballot, it lost 60-40%.)
But one thing the MHPC won't be able to do would be to silence the MMA on current budget proposals. They certainly have the right to speak out about the proposals that would completely end municipal revenue sharing and would shift costs to property-owners.
Addendum: Just as with other legal issues, there is disagreement about government speech. On cases and controversies regarding the sort of government speech that's permissible and what sort of restrictions can be placed on government speech, one source worth consulting is this law review article.

Brewers win 7th straight, beat Pirates 4-2
Ramirez, Reynolds hit home runs in victory
Aramis Ramirez hit a two-run homer that backed Wily Peralta, and the Milwaukee Brewers extended their winning streak to seven with a 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.
Francisco Liriano befuddled the Brewers with his slider over the first three innings before Ramirez sent a 1-2 fastball over the left-field wall for a 2-0 lead.
At 8-2 on the year, the Brewers are off to their best start since opening with 13 wins in 1987.
Peralta (1-0) allowed four hits in seven innings, but gave up a two-run homer to Neil Walker in the seventh.
Francisco Rodriguez struck out the side in the ninth for his third save.
Liriano (0-2) struck out seven over six innings. He also gave up a homer in the fifth to Mark Reynolds.
Carlos Gomez added a two-out single in the fifth for Milwaukee.
Milwaukee has been an early-season surprise after sweeping through three-game sets at Boston and Philadelphia with a .320 batting average. The formula of solid hitting and excellent starting pitching carried over into Friday after Peralta struck out four and got help from Reynolds with two nice plays at first on hard-hit shots.
Pittxsburgh didn't get a runner past second base until Walker homered in the seventh. Andrew McCutchen had reached second twice on two-out steals, but Peralta retired cleanup hitter Pedro Alvarez each time to end the inning, including a strikeout on a slider in the sixth.
Milwaukee entered with a major league-leading 1.95 ERA, an impressive mark given that the team has played three games each in Fenway Park and Citizens Bank Park. Brewers starters were at 2.44, with the bullpen had a minuscule major league-best 0.98.
That mark only improved after relievers Jim Henderson and Rodriguez shut down the Pirates in order during the final two innings.
Liriano dominated early, keeping hitters off balance with his slider. He breezed through the first three innings with five strikeouts on 32 pitches.
NOTES: The Pirates entered having started the season by winning three straight series for the first time since 1992. ... Pittsburgh is in the middle of a stretch in which it is starting the season with 26 straight games against NL Central foes. ... LHP Jeff Locke was reinstated from the 15-day DL and optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis. Locke is recovering from a right oblique strain. ... CF Gomez is to be presented with his 2013 Gold Glove award in a ceremony before Saturday's game. ... The Brewers' Yovani Gallardo (2-0) faces the Pirates' Edinson Volquez (0-0) on the mound Saturday night.

I assume the vast majority of everyone here uses or has used laptops in addition to their Zaurii. What do you use and why?
My first laptop was a Toshiba Tecra with a P-III 650 Mhz. Very nice machine at the time (almost 8 years ago.) It performed reasonably well, and was mostly problem free. It had a tendency to overheat, specially after a couple of years. I wasn't crazy about the construction of the machine (a few creaks, soft screen hinges, etc.) I didn't like the design either (2 tone plastic in the LCD cover, for example.)
After that I got an IBM Thinkpad T23 (refurbished), and I was extremely impressed by it. Much more solid, better looking, overall a more professional laptop (comparing it to the Toshiba was like comparing a Mercedes to a Toyota.) Whenever I had any problems it was very easy to service using the hardware manuals from IBM. A very modular system. Changing RAM, hard drive, even major components like the keyboard or the LCD panel was doable and somewhat of a pleasure.
Due to my experience with the T23 all the rest of my laptops have been Thinkpads. I have an X21 that I picked up in mint condition in ebay a couple of years back for little over $200. I have a dual boot of Ubuntu and Windows XP on it. It is beautiful, solid, and performs well, and now can be picked on eBay for about $100. Granted it is not as portable as the Zaurus, but it is still a very small system and with vastly superior possibilities.
So, what laptop brand are you guys partial off? Are you a Dell Devil, an Apple Advocate, or a Panasonic Person?

Marc Vetri's Rigatoni with Swordfish, Tomato, and Eggplant Fries
This Rigatoni with Swordfish, Tomato, and Eggplant Fries from Marc Vetri's Rustic Italian Food is not only a genius plate of pasta filled with fresh, unexpected flavors but it's also one that can be assembled in the time it takes for your rigatoni to cook up perfectly al dente.
The sauce is a simple yet beguiling combination of sweated onions and garlic cooked down with sweet (even in February) grape tomatoes and bite sized chunks of swordfish. Topped with shredded leaves of basil, it's just right but if you're feeling ambitious, take the extra time to finish it with Vetri's Eggplant Fries. They add a crisp, salty element that complements the pasta in a most satisfying way.
Why you should make this: Swordfish and pasta? Not the most common pairing but a brilliant one. Seriously, give it a shot.
Next time we might think about: This sauce benefits from a strongly flavored fish. Perhaps next time tuna?

- Yield:Makes 4 servings
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- 12 ounces refrigerated extruded Rigatoni, or 10 ounces boxed dried rigatoni
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- 8 ounces grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound swordfish, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 15 fresh basil leaves
- Eggplant Fries (recipe follows)
- Eggplant Fries
- 1 Italian globe eggplant, about 1 pound
- Canola oil for deep-frying
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the pasta, quickly return to a boil, and cook until the pasta is tender yet firm, 2 to 7 minutes, depending on how long it has been refrigerated (or 8 to 9 minutes for the boxed stuff). Drain the pasta, reserving the pasta water.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the fish and cook until white all over but still translucent in the center, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the drained rigatoni to the pan. Add a splash or two of pasta water and cook, tossing to coat, for about 2 minutes. Taste and season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper as needed.
Remove the garlic and divide among warm pasta bowls. Tear the basil into coarse pieces by hand and scatter over the pasta. Top with the eggplant fries.
Eggplant Fries: Peel and cut the eggplant into sticks about 1/2 inch thick and 21/2 inches long.
Pour 2 inches of oil into a Dutch oven or deep fryer and heat to 350°F on a deep-fat thermometer. Meanwhile, dip the eggplant pieces in the milk, then dredge in the flour. Working in batches to maintain the 350°F temperature, drop the vegetables into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes for the eggplant.
Using a wire skimmer, transfer the vegetables to paper towels to drain, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

BMW 323i A/C Compressor by Year+
The BMW 323i AC Compressor is the central component of the AC system along with other components such as the condenser and evaporator. The primary function of the compressor is to compress the refrigerant and thereby, create a pressure difference between the two sides of the AC mechanism. The compressor, which is driven by the engine's crankshaft, includes a rotor that is connected to the crankshaft. When the air conditioning is switched on, an electromagnetic clutch engages the compressor with a pulley to operate it. The oil level of the compressor is vital for its proper functioning. A higher oil level will not provide efficient cooling while a lower oil level may completely prevent the compressor from working. The amount of refrigerant should also be kept in check for the proper functioning of the compressor.
If you are looking for a high-quality BMW 323i AC Compressor, you have come to the right place. Buy Auto Parts sells a wide range of OEM replacements and premium aftermarket parts at unbeatable prices. All the parts for your BMW 323i come with a warranty.

Blesdijk, Nikolaas Meyndertsz van (ca. 1520-1584)
Nikolaas Meyndertsz van Blesdijk, b.ca. 1520 in Blesdijk, Dutch province of Overijssel, attached himself early (1536) to Menno Simons and adhered zealously to his Christian doctrine. Ten years later he joined David Joris. He was an educated man and thus became not only a warm partisan and admirer, but also the best qualified and effective defender of this remarkable Anabaptist leader; he clung for a long time to the conviction that Joris "was wakened by God, and that his writings came from the divine Spirit, that, indeed, no person could be compared to him" (Nippold, 537). Nippold's idea that he is identical with Meynert von Emden is incorrect, for he was much younger than the latter (Vos, 66).
In 1544 Blesdijk already had to defend his master's cause. He attempted to save the Jorisite martyr Jurjen Ketel by writing a summary of Davidian doctrine to the Deventer council and offering to defend it in every city beyond imperial jurisdiction. His step was ignored. In 1544 he wrote Billijcke Verantwoordinge ende Eenvoldige wederlegginghe op eenen Scheltlasterighen Brief door Dr Hier. Wilhelmi . . . teghens die heylsame leere D. J. aen weylandt Joncker Karel van Gelder geschreven. It was printed in 1640 without naming the place of printing. Of greater significance was his appearance at the Lübeck disputation held in 1546, which was to be a debate between the Mennonites and the Jorisites. Besides Menno Simons and Blesdijk there were present Dirk Philips, Leenaert Bouwens, Gillis van Aken, and Adam Pastor, in addition to several adherents of David Joris. Blesdijk debated with Gillis four hours. They argued principally about infant baptism; but instead of union, greater tension and hostility was the result.
In answer to Menno Simons' letter "to some persons who formerly agreed with me, but now think otherwise," Blesdijk wrote in 1546 Christelijcke Verantwoordinghe, Ende billijcke nederlegginge des valschen onghegrondeden Oordeels, Lasterens ende Scheldens by Menno Symonsz, in eenen Sendtbrief wtgegeven . . . , printed in 1607 without naming place. This book includes three articles (Nippold, 534-544) and gives an unusually interesting view into the controversy and the points of opposition between the Mennonites and Jorisites.
In the same year (1546) Blesdijk published another book, Weder-antwoort op zekeren Brief by Gellium onderteeckent, waer in hy sijne meyninge unde oordeel stell op eenich Trachtaet geintituleert Een Christelijcke verantwoordinghe unde billijcke wederlegginghe (published without place in 1607). In this book Blesdijk defends the action of the Jorisites in having their children baptized in the Reformed Church in order to be as inconspicuous as possible.
In the following year (1547) Blesdijk published a new book, Eenvuldighe unde Christelijcke Berichtinghe op vijf Vraghen by eenighe van Men. Sym. gesintheyt voorgestelt (without place in 1607), in which he answers these five questions in succession. The most important of these are, "Why does one not observe communion in the brotherhood?" and "Why is baptism, which is a command of the Lord, now neglected?" Blesdijk explains these signs of the covenant as outward ceremonies which have lost their meaning in the age of perfection which David Joris was called of God to proclaim.
Of particular importance is his book published in the same year (1547) with the title, Hooft-Somma unde Gront van't gene wy wt die Leere D. J. hebben connen verstaen (published without place in 1607). Here he gives a systematic presentation of the doctrine of David Joris (Nippold, 553-556).
Not long after the publication of these books Blesdijk went to Basel, where David Joris was living in concealment under the name of Jan van Bruges. He married Joris' eldest daughter, Susanna, in 1550 or 1551. For some years he remained closely connected with his father-in-law. But gradually increasing doubts concerning the genuineness and significance of the revelations of the fanatical Anabaptist leader and the purity of his moral conduct began to alienate him. This is shown in the letters of Joris to his son-in-law, especially the one dated 1556 (Nippold, 591).
As yet there was no open dissension between them; but the defection of his most important adherent must have been a deep shock to Joris. His failing health could not withstand this blow. He died 25 August 1556. Now Blesdijk expressed his opposition toward his father-in-law. In four tracts which he published in January, February, April, and May 1557, he attacked his teaching and especially his claim that his revelations were above those of the Bible. This is indicated by the verbose titles of these tracts, which have themselves been lost. (The titles are found in Nippold, 606.) Two of the four tracts were addressed to individual followers of Joris.
But even these polemics did not cause a complete split between Blesdijk and the Jorisites; this did not occur until two years later. Betrayal by a servant led to the discovery of the Jorisites. This created a great stir in Basel. Nobody thought or suspected that the highly respected family of Jan van Bruges belonged to the accursed sect of Anabaptists. Joris' corpse was exhumed and burned at the stake for heresy. His family and his adherents were imprisoned and subjected to a severe cross-examination, then dismissed upon the promise to make a confession of the true faith in the church and condemn the doctrine of the sect of the Anabaptists and have no more fellowship with them or their adherents. On 6 June 1559 they performed this penance.
Blesdijk escaped with a trifling loss. His books were confiscated while he was traveling to Holland to enlighten his fellow believers there and in North Germany. When he returned he immediately went to the preachers of the city and confessed to them his former error and his present belief. He was then placed in custody, but was on the whole leniently treated. He had presented the principal tenets of the Jorisites in 13 points, which were handed to the government and furnished it with a highly welcome foundation for both legal action and especially for the formulation of the refutation of Jorisite doctrine, which was drawn up in 11 points (Nippold, 615).
Soon afterwards Blesdijk moved to Freinsheim in the Palatinate as a Reformed preacher; he died there in 1584. Before his departure from Basel he composed his famous biography of David Joris (1559 and 1560), which he calls a part of a larger work on Anabaptism, which has unfortunately been lost. But this biography of Joris is our most important source for his teaching and life; it is written in Latin and has the title, Davidii Georgii Holandi haeresiarchae vita et Doctrina (Basel, 1559). There are translations of this book in German (Basel, 1559) and French (Basel, 1560), and a new edition was printed in Latin in 1642 with the title, Historia vitae, doctrinae ac rerum gestarum Davidis Georgii Haeresiarchae. Conscripta ab ipsius genero Nicolae Blesdikio. Nunc primum prodit in lucem ex musaeo Jacobi Revii, Daventriae 1642.
In Freinsheim Blesdijk maintained friendly connections with his wife's relatives living in Basel. But his hostility to David Joris increased, as is eloquently shown in the refutation of the fallacious teachings of his father-in-law written in 1576 in behalf of the Palatine Church Council. The book itself is lost; we know of it only by Ubbo Emmius' mention of it. According to him this was the sharpest accusation published against Joris. It is possible that the pamphlet printed in Stade 1582 in Dutch translation, Die gantsche Leeringhe van David Joriszoen int corte begrepen, tot nut van de onpartevdighen, is a translation of this Palatine booklet.

A few days ago, my wife cleaned the house, including our teenagers twins rooms, which require courage and patience to enter and to clean, and I did the cooking.
I like cooking, and therefore, I sometimes do the cooking. This time, among other things, I prepared pumpkin soup. I have already prepared pumpkin soup several times, and since we had the ingredients at home, I decided to prepare it gain.
The recipe for the pumpkin soup is very simple, and it is easy to prepare. It is an original recipe. Actually, anyone can cook or prepare any kind of dish, salad or cake, using the ingredients at home, some basic cooking know-how, some creativity, and a little common sense.
If you would like to prepare the same kind of pumpkin soup, here is the recipe:
Ingredients for 8 servings:
About ½ kilo pumpkin
2 carrots
2 potatoes
1 small onion
2-3 spoonful of vegetable soup powder
½ teaspoon of salt
A little white pepper
1-2 of flat teaspoons of sugar
2 teaspoonfuls of lemon juice
A medium package of tomato paste
How to prepare the pumpkin soup:
Peel off of the skin of the pumpkin, and then cut the pumpkin into medium sized pieces.
Cut the carrots, potatoes and onions into small pieces.
Put all the ingredient into a large pot and fill it with water, almost to the brim.
Put the pot on the cooker until it boils, and then on medium heat for another about 30 minutes. Stir the soup every now and then.
A little while before the soup is ready, mash part of the ingredients with a spoon. This will make the soup thicker.
If you prepare this pumpkin soup, please write what you think about it the form below.

University of Georgia Cheerleader Anna Watson — Crush of the Day [PICTURE]
University of Georgia cheerleader Anna Watson, a 19-year-old student, passed up an opportunity to become very rich at a young age.
Watson decided against signing a $75K fitness modeling contract because the agent wanted her to use Anavar, a legal anabolic steroid, that would have put about 50 pounds of pure muscle on her already chiseled frame. Anna said 'no thanks' and instead did things the old fashion way — hard work. Can you imagine?!? A college student choosing to do things the hard way. What's this world coming to people?!?
Anyway, so how did Anna do on her own? Ignore the obvious photo example above and feast your eyes on these stats…
"She can bench press 155 pounds, squat 255 pounds and dead lift 230 pounds. According to the school newspaper, she added an impressive four inches of muscles on her arms in just 10 months."
Watson is our crush today for not only showing that 'buff is beautiful' but for turning down a ton of cash and staying true to herself.

The Mare is the smallest of a trio of rocks off the entrance to Solva harbour in St Brides Bay.
Apart from ornamenting the beautiful coastline sweeping round the northern side of the bay, and, like its companions Green Scar and Black Scar, serving as a navigational aid for mariners and fishermen sailing in and out of the narrow entrance to Solva harbour in foggy weather, it also provided a useful seasonal 'larder' for the locals. The Vikings knew these rocks and must have used them as markers to find the almost hidden entrance to Solva, indeed, the word Scar is derived from the Norse word Sker for rock.
In the days when there were many poor country folk ekeing out a precarious livelihood from the food nature provided: foraging for the fruits of the hedges, the plants and seaweeds growing on the foreshore (Solva is the Norse name for Samphire, whch grows in profusion around these shores), and the fish they could catch in the sea, the islands provided an extra dietary dimension in the form of seabirds and their eggs.
Right up to living memory, the rocky islands and islets all round the Pembrokeshire coast provided a rich harvest of eggs and bird meat, and Solva, Marloes, Dale and St Davids were known for their island foraging. Some of the larger islands also had rabbits to provide tasty meals for the tables of the poorer classes. The Mare and its sister islands were no exception. One history of Solva refers to the seasonal and part-time occupation of the fishermen who also used the opportunity to harvest seabirds and their eggs from the islands to supplement their diet. Both the meat and the eggs could be preserved in various ways to last into the winter. It records that Green Scar and its sister islands had remained such a source within living memory. Seagull's eggs, which were an acquired taste, were not the only target. Puffins, guillemots and razorbills also had their eggs collected for food, and Although St Brides Bay is used for shelter, it can be an inhospitable place in rough weather, particularly in a south westerly gale, and many ships which have got into trouble further off the coast have eventually foundered there. On October 17th 1862 the Oak of Belfast was wrecked off Solva and six seamen took refuge on one of the trio of rocks which includes The Mare. They were brought ashore after a rescue line was fired to them by means of a Manby Mortar life-saving apparatus and taken to the Cambrian Hotel by the local Lloyd's Agent, Captain John Rees. To Solva's shame their clothes were stolen and a record of the events reveals that clothes were eventually donated by other more sympathetic local folk.
In 1874, the Liverpool ship Alaric foundered in a dreadful storm off Solva. She was sighted keel up a mile west of The Mare and later sank with the loss of all hands.
