WBU SIFE invited to international event
PLAINVIEW -- Wayland Baptist University graduate student Rosa Maria Padilla of Hale Center will represent the university's Students in Free Enterprise team at the 2005 HSBC Financial Literacy Forum in Toronto, Canada, in October.
Wayland is one of only 100 schools among 27 countries to be invited to send a delegate to the event. Of those 100 schools, only seven are in the United States. The SIFE team won a regional championship and all four special topics competitions in their league at the regional competition in Dallas earlier this year, qualifying for national competition in Kansas City for the second time in its three years of existence.
The Wayland group has been involved in financial literacy efforts locally, thanks to a $1,000 grant received from HSBC (Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation). The team designed and implemented a computerized "Financial Jeopardy" game program that was delivered in area high schools as well as other financial literacy programs designed specifically for elementary school students and women seeking careers in business.
At the Financial Literacy Forum, Padilla will have the opportunity to participate in workshops and round table sessions about financial matters. The daylong event is hailed as a combination of best practice sharing in financial education and skills needed for female entrepreneurs as well as a celebration of the nearly 300 SIFE teams who completed projects with HSBC funding. The event is held in conjunction with the SIFE World Cup competition.
Under the leadership of advisors Dr. Bobby Hall, a Sam Walton Fellow, and Mr. Sam Van Hoose, Wayland's SIFE team has been active in efforts to educate students and community members about business practices, computer literacy and entrepreneurship.

text: Reklawyad 47 Posted January 23, 2013 Few questions. After watching the demo online and seeing this game in store, I really wanted this game, s I had my wife look and she found it very complicated, I've not read the rules and haven't gotten through the entire demo yet, but I wanted to see what others might have for suggestions on one core set which decks should we each play to have a fun time and be fairly evenly matched?? Is a 2nd core set required to optimal deck building and if so how many extra cards are there going to be that you won't use?? What are the card sleeve points I see listed for each product on the website? In the Dayton Ohio area are there any others around that also have interest in this game? thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rihanna & Chris Brown 'Will Get Married Soon' In Secret Ceremony, Says Source
A source says that RiRi and Chris can't wait to be husband and wife!
Rihanna, 24, and Chris Brown, 22, have never stopped loving each other, and now they're ready to exchange vows and make it official, Star reports.
"The will get married very soon," an insider says.
"He proposed in November, but she said she wasn't ready," another source adds. "But she finally accepted his proposal in late February. She's not wearing a ring until they can announce it at an engagement party, but Rihanna's already telling her family she's engaged."
So when's the big day?
Rihanna's former nanny, Sharon Bellamy-Thompson, believes it'll be in late March. "Rihanna called for me personally," she says. "I'm coming into LA for a special occasion. I have a ticket."
Sharon added that despite Chris beating Rihanna in 2009, she and RiRi's fam have forgiven the Grammy-winning bad boy and love him dearly. Sounds just like Rihanna.
"Rihanna has always been in love with Chris, and she wants to spend the rest of her life with him," a source says.
And multiple sources have revealed RiRi wants to start popping babies with Chris asap. "They're planning to go house hunting in LA soon, and they're even talking baby names," one insider revealed.
Unfortunately, the star-crossed lovers have an uphill battle to climb when it comes to the support of their friends — and that includes Jay-Z, who manages Rihanna under his Roc Nation label.
"He cannot believe that Rihanna is back with Chris," says a source. "He thinks this is a bad move."
And rumor has it that Jay is so upset with her that he's even given a song to protégée Rita Ora that he originally promised to her.
"There's even talk RiRi might leave Roc Nation, but she doesn't care what Jay-Z thinks," concluded a source.
Sounds like a bad case of "love is blind" if you ask us.

As both a mother and the former teacher of Dude Where's My Comma? (a groundbreaking if poorly received grammar seminar for apathetic high schoolers in Wyoming), I feel myself to be in a perfect position to help parents when faced with one or both of the following problems: children with sloppy grammar, and/or parents who themselves are embarrassed about their own sloppy grammar (and therefore unable to correct their children's sloppy grammar).
Gramms is important; I truly believe it. If you have a decent grasp of it people will think you're very smart. Even if you're not. Also good gramms gives you the ability to say what you mean, mean what you say, and understand what others are saying to you even if they don't exactly know what they are saying, and even if what they are saying isn't very nice or interesting. In short, good gramms is good. And it's extremely hard to learn to speak gooder as a grownup if nobody ever taught you how to talk good when you were little.
Thus today I morph into Grammarmama: improving your grammar, one child at a time. At the end of this Grammarmama series I will test willing readers with a super-tough quiz. The first set of correct answers will entitle that Grammarmama to a delicious prize, perhaps even one of these tee-shirts from the Semicolon Appreciation Society.
Lesson the first: Lie or Lay?
My pet peeve: When Crabhubby tells Crabtot to "go and lay down and Dad will be in to tell you a goodnight story." "Lie, not lay" I correct him. Even at her tender age Crabtot knows this irritates me. So she frequently tells me to go and "lay" down. "Daddy and I say 'lay,'" she tells me. Not for long, little girl!!! Grammarmama will beat it out of you!!!
"Lie" vs. "lay" is a tough one to explain without resorting to dry terminology involving transitive and intransitive verbs. So I'm just gonna tell it to you straight: if you're thinking about reclining or having someone else go and recline or take a nap or have a horizontal Time Out or whatever, you speak of "lying down." Like so:
Mommy attempts to lie down for half an hour during the child's Quiet Time.If, however, you are thinking of putting something down, or having someone else put something down—like having Grandma put the baby in the crib—then it's "lay" you're looking for, e.g.,
Grandma lays the baby down to sleep.You see, in the above, someone or something is actually doing more than merely snoozing. So please, tell your teenage daughter she isn't going to "lay out" and get a tan. She's not doing anything except reclining her lazy body. So, schlubby and diffident adolescent that she is, she's off to "lie" out and get a tan. Not "lay."
The hen lays her eggs.
Things do, however, get trickier in the past tense. When it's been and done, "lie" turns to "lay" and "lay" turns to "laid." But "lay" never turns to "laid."** So you never "laid" down for three minutes before the baby started fussing, you merely "lay" down for a few before it all went bust. Let's reprise that first sentence, but now put it into the past tense:
Although Mommy lay down for an hour, she could not sleep, for the child made too much noise.So, in the past tense, it's "Mommy lay down on her bed for a while." NOT "Mommy laid down..." The mommy hen, however, laid her eggs last week. And Grandma laid the baby down to sleep before sneaking outside to smoke cigarettes and quaff a bottle of sherry.
Phew! Indeed, the issue gets much more confusing with tenses and so forth. Man! Kind of makes you want to go and lie down, doesn't it? But for now, let's stick to the main problem, shall we? If you want to learn one thing and one thing only about all this lay/lie biz, just know that you mostly just wanna lie down. So next time someone in your house goes to "lay" down, you lay down the law. The law of grammar, that is.
Anyone else got a grammar pet peeve?
And if anyone knows why Blogger insists on randomly mixing single- and double-spaced formatting in one blog entry, DO DIVULGE!!!
**Lay never turns to laid in past tense, unless someone is involved in something sexual. But if you aren't getting laid (which also involves a process in which someone doing more than merely snoozing [one hopes]) then it's lay you're looking for. Get it?

If you're like me (and frankly, you might not be, but I hope you'll keep reading), you enjoy a good amount of some world PvP. Beyond Wintergrasp and the Storm Peaks dailies phase, I'm talking about moments like these:
"Oh sh**! STUPID [insert class]"
"What happened? You get ganked?"
"Yeah, I'm just farmin' [insert mat]…"
"Where are you?"
"I'm out in Sholazar Basin."
"On the way."
…and after 20 minutes, you're in a real world 5v5, 7v9, 20v17, whatever! You can Rebirth, you can Lay on Hands, you can rez at your corpse. It's a "No Holds Barred" cage match. At least, I think that's the reference. Wrestling, right? Kidding. Anyway, my point is that I'm an avid fan of PvP. It's not my main focus, but I certainly spend a decent amount of time in it.
I love PvP, and I hate a skilled rogue.
Now, not because I think they're OP, but because when a rogue is good, it's near impossible to survive. Again, let me say that I'm meaning this more as a compliment and not a QQ thread. With that "rogue ego stroke", I'm grateful that an announcement was made (I know, it was back in March) with regard to what we've come to call the "stunlock":
Rogue burst is also scary today because they can deliver it while a target is chain stunned. We've also said that's not a particularly fun place to be (for attacker or defender) and we need to shift rogue defenses away from short-duration immunities (which includes the stuns) and more towards being able to stand toe to toe with other classes a little better.
In a one-on-one standpoint, this was nigh-impossible to survive. With a Cheap Shot, Kidney Shot, Blind chain, I've been forced to just sit and watch my health go from 100% to 0% in a matter of seconds. Before you all "LoL L2Trinket" me, trust me, I've done it. Like I said, a skilled rogue is a nightmare.
So, in the Rogue Preview put out, this lovely morsel is given:
In PvP, we want to reduce the rogue's dependency on binary cooldowns and "stun-locks," and give them more passive survivability in return. One major change is that we'll put Cheap Shot on the same diminishing return as other stuns. The increase to Armor and Stamina on cloth, leather, and mail gear will help with this goal as well.
Obviously, the intent is to make a rogue tougher to kill, but I look at this from a healer's standpoint: fewer stuns means more chances for us to survive.
Cataclysm is going to bring about a lot of changes, and we all know the constant struggle to balance PvP and PvE. Since I'm a fan of both, I'm excited and scared of what the future will bring to the table.
How do you feel about the upcoming changes and how they'll affect you in the arena/battleground? Rogue feedback is welcome as well!

Hello everyone,
Since I did the big move to Southbrook I restarted some workshops and quickly found that a scrapbook workshop is the popular choice here in this quaint little town. I haven't shared any of these projects on my blog and thought I should start. This particular page I am sharing today was this weeks workshop.
I used quite a few stamp sets, six in fact. It is one of the reasons I love Stampin' Up! The stamp sets coordinate well with each other. Another item I love about Stampin' Up!, and it is totally free, is the brown packing paper in the Big Brown Box that is filled with your goodies. I use it on my projects as a DSP (designer series paper). You can tear it, scrunch it, stamp on it, spritz ink on it, anything you can think of really. It's a great neutral 'filler' for your layout. It especially looks good on boy themed layouts. Can you tell I love it?!
I sprinkled Whisper White ink in one of my Stampin' Spritzer bottles over the layout and added a few Candy Dots for a pop of colour. I also outlined some pieces including the DSP with a Basic Black Stampin' Write marker. I use this technique to make that particular element stand out, but it's not too much that it takes away from the photo. I used Dimensionals to lift the photo off the page and slide my three tags beneath it. I will use the white for journalling and the other two will be fillers or you can put some smaller photos on them.
It's a great simple layout anyone can do and the ladies attending loved the workshop. It also gave me a good excuse to crack open the NEW KRAFT CARDSTOCK!! This stuff is awesome. It is heavier than our regular CS and this is a more natural Kraft colouring. Be sure to check that stuff out, plus any of the other gorgeous products I used.
Thanks for dropping by,

UFO videos definately worth watching (more to follow)
Posted by dandare on January 23, 2008
Probably the most outstanding documentary on ufo's "out of the blue" (a must watch video) Please be aware that the page might take a while to load, due to the amount of videos on here…however, they probably will be fine…lol
UFO The greatest story ever denied : a half decent video, however quite a few, must have ufo incidents are missing..
The secret NASA transmissions- the smoking gun : this will be debated for a long time? makes you wonder though.
Segment from ABC's Peter Jenning's broadcast of "UFOs: seeing is believing" (2005).
Dan Ackroyd and UFOs on CNN (june 9th,2006); he shares his views on UFOs- he inspires you to know more. (not sure after this interview- extra footage not of interest to me). The whole thing is just over 9 mins though.
Dan Ackroyd Unplugged on UFOs : a must watch video, which will get you thinking.
The case for NASA UFOs (part 2) unable to find part 1 : ufos captured on ultra-violet sensitive cameras, worth watching.
Fastwalkers : ufo and alien disclosure (2006) some of the interviewers are questionable? some inaccuracies, and some over the top remarks…. however, still worth watching; just keep this in mind though
Stan Friedman on UFO Frauds and Bob Lazar (2001)
UFOs and ETs encounter with 62 children in South Africa,1994 (on right hand side, is links to read about this) length of video 4minutes… (have no background information on this, so will read up on it)
UFO over montreal downtown- Canada (1990) video 1; picture quality not excellent, and a bit jeaky but worth watching; multiple witnesses (some suggest northern lights)
Video 2
Although these videos can be seen at the present time, there is no guarantee that they will be there in the forseeable future… so if videos are unable to play, then i will endeavour/do my best to find new links to this, but may not be able too. Hope this opens your mind too all possibilities…obviously, yes videos are good to watch,but ideally, if you are really interested; then to get all the facts, try to seek out documentation and papers on the subjects involved…. I will be over the coming months try to add links to reliable sources….

Sen. Tom Harkin to Congress: 'We are at one of the most dangerous points in our history.'
As the clock ticks down toward a possible government shutdown, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, isn't holding back.
On the Senate floor before 10 a.m. Friday, the senator gave a speech describing how American politics have reached the level at which "a small group of willful men and women who have a certain ideology"—read: the tea party and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas—have been able to take over the congressional budget debate in the last week. "Since they can't get their way," Harkin said, "they're going to create this confusion and discourse and hope that the public will be so mixed up in who is to blame for this, that they'll blame both sides."
This isn't just congressional business as usual, Harkin said. It's much, much more dire:
It's dangerous. It's very dangerous. I believe, Mr. President, we are at one of the most dangerous points in our history right now. Every bit as dangerous as the break-up of the Union before the Civil War.
This isn't the first time the senator has spoken out about the spiraling budget and the fight over Obamacare. Harkin suggested Thursday that Cruz looked "foolish" for his "little tirade" that lasted from Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday morning. Harkin called out Cruz as being part of "the most extreme tea-party wing" of his party, and for his "ideology-driven obstructionism."
Of course, it'd be a stretch to think that the United States is on the cusp of anything as violent as the Civil War. But the consequences of a government shutdown or topping over the debt ceiling could be massively harmful for the U.S. economy, whether you're looking at the possibility of a downgrade in U.S. credit or just the shutdown in payments and services with thousands of government employees out of work.
Harkin isn't the first to pull out a dramatic historical analogy on the Senate floor this week, either. During his 21-plus hour speech, Cruz hearkened back to Nazi Germany for a comparison to "pundits" who think Obamacare cannot be defeated:
If we go to the 1940s, Nazi Germany—look, we saw it in Britain. Neville Chamberlain told the British people: Accept the Nazis. Yes, they will dominate the continent of Europe, but that is not our problem. Let's appease them. Why? Because it can't be done. We cannot possibly stand against them.
In America there were voices who listened to that; I suspect the same pundits who said it couldn't be done. If this had happened in the 1940s, we would have been listening to them. Even then they would have made television. They would have gotten beyond the carrier pigeons and letters and they would have been on TV saying: You cannot defeat the Germans.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., later pilloried Cruz on the floor for the comparison.
So, for those of you keeping track at home: With just three days to go until a possible government shutdown, we've already had comparisons to Nazi Germany and the Civil War. And we're surely not done yet.

Good grief, you really are an intollerant prick.
The clergy are evil, the scientists don't know what they are talking about, the public are all dupes and the politicians in bed with prostitutes.

I am not a Muslim. Interesting though is they believe Jesus was a prophet. But they conciser Mohamed, as a major prophet. Yet they go against everything that Jesus taught. That would mean that God didn't know which way to go. When actually God's direction has remained the same.
This has nothing to do with me. All I am saying is what the bible really says.
There are a supposed 40,000 denominations of Christian churches. All with their own ideas.
I don't target any of them. I just say what the bible says, you and others can decide for yourselves.
As Satan is the ruler of this world that means the leading or major institutions, will be following him. Many say this is the information age, but I like to call it the misinformation age. Satan's only purpose is to misdirect people. The scientist are part of that, so are churches. So this has nothing to do with me. But it is about the big picture, which science is really a small part of.

An unnamed continent is introduced in Naruto the Movie: Legend of the Stone of Gelel, and is where Temujin hails from. While little is known about it, besides the fact that it is said to be war-torn, is that its inhabitants and aesthetics indicate that it is based off of post-medieval Europe and Mesoamerica. Temujin and Haido came from this continent where the Stone of Gelel was known, although extremely esoterically, because a clan once again migrated there after being decimated on Naruto's continent. Naruto and Temujin encounter the remnants of this clan who are travelling in a caravan, claiming to be nomadic peoples. Only the royal bloodline of this continent can seal away the Vein of Gelel.
This continent seems to be isolated from the ninja world, as Haido and his men had no idea what chakra was. Therefore, all of their techniques based off of the Gelel stone are debatable in terms of whether they are considered to be true ninjutsu. Also, every attack utilised by the warriors are named in English, further indicating their isolation from the ninja world.

Milwaukee baby who weighed only 13 ounces leaves hospital
A baby girl born way too soon, and way too small, went home Thursday.
When baby Phoenix was born May 21, she was about the size of a soda can, just 13 ounces. Fast forward three months later to now, and she's tipping the scales at 5 pounds.
Three-month-old Phoenix has had her father, Charles Sims, wrapped around her tiny finger since day one.
Born at only 24 weeks in May because of mom's potentially deadly preclampsia condition, Phoenix has been a fighter.
On Thursday, mom Shania Freeman and Sims finally took their baby home.
"She's still little. She's premature. She came a long way," Freeman said.
Doctors at St. Joseph's told WISN 12 News she's the smallest baby born at the hospital to survive, and her prognosis is good.
"She's at risk for cognitive disabilities, but that fact that she didn't have any major complications in the NICU tips the scale towards a pretty good long term outcome," said Dr. Jeffrey Garland, a neonatologist at Wheaton Franciscan Hospitals.
Garland said Phoenix doesn't have any brain, eye or ear issues, which is excellent for her long term health.
Her parents said they spent every day at the hospital praying for this moment.
"I just wanted to take it day by day, hour by hour," Sims said.
Due to the same hypertension condition, Sims and Freeman lost another baby girl, Cache, three years ago.
They said they believe a little part of her lives in Phoenix now.
"Cache has risen up through Phoenix. She's the re-birth or the reincarnation," Sims said.
Phoenix will join an older sister at home. The family said in the next few days they will need all the support they can get.

A sea turtle shows what looks like gratitude after divers untangled it from a rope.
Cameron Dietrich and Colin Sutton were spearfishing for tuna off the coast of Mexico earlier this year when they found the struggling animal, according to The Weather Channel.
Dietrich used a dive knife to cut off the rope, which was tangled around the sea turtle's front flipper. After starting to swim away, the animal returned to Dietrich. The diver briefly held the sea turtle up before letting it swim off.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Sea Turtle Conservancy executive director David Godfrey said the sea turtle's circular swim was likely the result of limited paralysis in the flipper that was tangled in rope.
Sutton recorded the incident using a GoPro HD Hero3+ camera. Their video was uploaded to YouTube on July 3, and has received more than 1.7 million views.

We caught up with Phil Cortes, who rides for Amore & Vita-McDonald's Continental team, the team of Valentino Fois, who died yesterday of an apparent seizure. The shocking news has hit the team hard and the Italian cycling community is still struggling to deal with the loss of the rider, who was once the teammate of another tragic cycling figure, Marco Pantani.
The cycling world was once again Following the shocking news that Italian Valentino Fois died yesterday in Italy, by an apparent seizure, we caught up with Phil Cortes.
"The loss of Valentino is very hard, the news has rocked me, my team, as well as the whole cycling world. I found out from our team president, Ivano Fanini at 7am the morning it happened," Cortes said. "Valentino was from what I saw a sympathetic, charismatic caring guy. A guy always ready to crack a joke."
Although Cortes had met him just a few times, he had only good things to say about Fois. "As with all teams, the season is still early. I honestly only saw him at team camps and at a few races. Obviously he was a guy with a past and a lot of experiences, he seemed to have his life on track, even planning a wedding with his longtime girlfriend. He was proud to be back on the bike, and racing again. This news shocked us all."
And like the rest of Italy, there's not much more news as to his passing. "I don't have anymore news than anyone else, It is sometimes harder to be on the inside of a tragedy like this as I have learned things from the press myself about him. We will wait to know when his funeral is, then I'll hear from the management the team's next step."
Cortes also asked the Canadian cycling community to keep the Fois family in their thoughts.

Liriano's consistency earns lefty Opening Day start
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Nobody knew what to expect from left-hander Francisco Liriano when he joined the Pirates last season. He had an injury to his non-throwing arm. He spent some time in the Minors.
Most people expected Liriano to be the Pirates' 2014 Opening Day starter after he went 16-8 with a 3.02 ERA and helped the Bucs make the playoffs for the first time in 21 years. Clint Hurdle made it official Tuesday after first making the announcement to the team during the traditional team meeting that takes place before the first full-squad workout of the spring.
"Because of everything we've seen about him since he showed up," the manager explained at Pirate City. "At this time last year, he was rehabbing. He wasn't even in the picture. The game demands, the clubhouse -- he's another guy who models the behavior you want to instill in others. He does it every day. He's a man you can depend on. And I share with these players that the greatest ability you can have day in and day out is your dependability. And we have that in Francisco."
That Liriano, who started on Opening Day 2009 for the Twins, would get the honor for the March 31 game against the Cubs seemed obvious after A.J. Burnett left as a free agent. Liriano departed the clubhouse before the news broke, but told reporters last week that he doesn't consider himself the ace of the staff.
"We have great pitchers, and I am just trying to fit in well with everybody and do my job," he said. "I am looking forward to Opening Day and trying to get ready for the season. My goal is to stay healthy the whole year and try to win 20 at least."

The domain expert in our team uses UML class diagrams to model the domain model.
As a result, the class diagrams are more of technical models rather than domain models (it serves of some sort of technical specifications for developpers because they don't have to do any conception, they just have to implement the model).
In the end, the domain expert ends up doing the job of the architect/technical expert right?
Is it normal for a domain expert (not a developer or technical profile) to do class diagrams?
If not, what kind of modeling should he be using?

Leo III of Rome
Our father among the saints Leo III of Rome was the Archbishop and Pope of the Church of Rome from 795 to 816. He is noted for insisting on the use of the original text of the Nicene Creed. His feast day in June 12.
Little is known of the early life of Leo including his date of birth. He was from a family of ordinary people, born in Rome to Atyuppius and Elizabeth. He was a cleric from his youth and rose to be cardinal-priest of Santa Susanna Church and a high official in the papacy. He was at Santa Susanna Church when Pope Adrian, his predecessor died. Leo was elected pope on the day Adrian was buried, December 26, 795.
Leo established cordial relations with Charlemagne early after his election when he informed the king of his unanimous election as pope and received Charlemagne's response of congratulations as well as part of the treasure captured by the him from the Avars. This wealth enabled Leo to be a benefactor to the churches and charitable institutions of Rome.
In 799, a conspiracy was formed by the primicerius Paschal, a nephew of Adrian, to render Leo unfit to hold his office. While Leo was walking in the procession of the Greater Litanies on April 25, a number of armed men scattered the procession and attacked Leo, hurriedly stabbed at his eyes and tore at his tongue. They then dragged him into St. Sylvester's Church and attempted to blind him, after which they placed him in the Monastery of St. Erasmus. Surprisingly, Leo recovered the use of eyes and tongue. His friends removed him from the monastery and placed him under the protection of Duke Winichis,of Spoleto. Recovered, Leo journeyed to see Charlemagne at Paderborn. There, Leo was received with honor and sympathy and returned by Charlemagne to Rome where he was welcomed in triumph, as the conspiracy against him was not popular.
In 800, Charlemagne came to Rome to clear Leo of the serious accusations that the conspirators had brought against him. While the bishops refused to try the Leo, he willingly mounted the ambo in St. Peter's and solemnly swore that he was innocent of the charges. Charlemagne, then, ordered the conspirators to be executed, but at Leo's request, their sentence was commuted to exile.
A few days later on Christmas Day, Leo placed a crown on Charlemagne's head and revived the Empire in the West. Pope Leo saw, in that Empress Irene was alone on the throne of the Eastern Empire, a chance to reunite the two halves of the Roman empire by her marriage to Charlemagne. His proposal of marriage between the two was not well received by the nobles of the Eastern Empire, who took action and chose Nikephoros, Irene's finance minister, as emperor.
Leo was much involved in the disputes arising in the Western Church particularly among the Anglo-Saxons that included the restoration of the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the See of Canterbury. He fought the heresy of Adoptionism that had arisen in Spain. Leo also helped the monks of Constantinople who, led by St. Theodore Studites, had been exiled for opposing imperial tyranny.
While Leo has harmonist relations with Charlemagne, he opposed Charlemagne's efforts to have the Filioque inserted in the Nicene Creed, going so far as to order the original (Orthodox) Nicene Creed wording to be engraved on silver tablets that he caused to be affixed at the tombs of Ss. Peter and Paul in Rome, writing "Haec Leo posui amore et cautela Orthodoxae Fidei" (I, Leo, placed these here out of love and guardianship of the Orthodox faith).
Pope Leo III died in June 816 and was buried in St. Peter's on June 12, 816 along with the relics of Popes Leo I, Leo II and Leo IV.

Report: Holder Knew About Petraeus Affair
Fox News is reporting that Attorney General Eric Holder has known since late summer of the affair between CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus and writer Paula Broadwell. Many find it unbelievable that President Barack Obama only learned of the situation last Thursday in light of the revelations of Holder's knowledge of the revelations of Petraeus' affair.
"The timing between the President's reelection and the start of the hearings into the CIA role in the Benghazi, Libya attacks is totally coincidental" a White House source said, adding "and even if it wasn't what is anyone going to do about it now? The election is over! Nya nya nya nya nya!"
Petraeus met Broadwell, who is is appropriately named, when the much younger woman approached him as the subject of her graduate dissertation. Once Petraeus was put in command of U.S. forces in Afghanistan Broadwell traveled there and was, ahem, embedded with the general's staff.

(Reuters) – Actor Alec Baldwin, star of TV show "30 Rock," married his fiancée, Hilaria Thomas, on Saturday in New York City, then posted a picture showing off his new wedding ring on Twitter.
Baldwin, 54, and yoga instructor Thomas, 28, announced their engagement back in April. The couple have been dating for over a year and have appeared together at numerous events.
"Hilaria Thomas and Alec Baldwin were married this evening at St. Patrick's Old Cathedral in New York City, sharing the occasion with family and friends inside the Cathedral and Alec warmly receiving congratulations from well-wishing fans on his way into the service," Baldwin's friend and spokesman, Matthew Hiltzik, said in a statement.
Award-winning actor Baldwin, who plays egotistical television executive Jack Donaghy on popular sitcom "30 Rock," wore a Tom Ford suit while Thomas walked down the aisle in a dress by Amsale.
The actor was previously married to actress Kim Basinger for eight years, but their union ended in a bitter divorce in 2002. Their daughter, Ireland, was at her father's wedding on Saturday.

PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Pornanong Phatlum turned in her second straight outstanding round Friday to maintain the lead at the midway point of the Safeway Classic.
Phatlum followed her opening-day 64 with a 66 at the Columbia Edgewater Country Club and her 14-under 130 total was good for a one-shot advantage over Suzann Pettersen.
Pettersen turned in the low round of the tournament, a 9-under 63 that vaulted her from a tie for 20th into second place.
Sandra Gal was alone in third at 132 and Caroline Masson was fourth at 133. Cristie Kerr, Lizette Salas and Sandra Changkija shared fifth at 134.
Phatlum has one victory in her five years on the LPGA Tour and her showing this week comes as a surprise based on recent results. She finished tied for 51st at the Canadian Women's Open last week and prior to that missed the cut at the Women's British Open.

Hiring SEO services can help bring more customers and therefore more sales into your online business. It is very important to optimize your website to make it as accessible and visible in the online world as possible. So by now, you should have a great website with a nice design and good content. However, what good is a website if your potential customers have no way of finding it? This is where SEO services become significant: allowing people to find their way into your website.
You have to understand that the kind of SEO services you get can either be a boon or a bane in your business. SEO is one of the most important components in online marketing strategy so it has become increasingly necessary. There is a large number of SEO services all over the Internet today. Unfortunately, some SEO services provided by some companies are rather shady, so make sure you do not deal with unreliable companies.
Here are some practical tips to help you look for good SEO services:
1. Use your instinct in choosing an SEO company. If you are uncomfortable with the deal, walk away. Never force yourself to make a deal with an SEO company if you do not like their terms. Or, if there are some conditions which are uncomfortable, never hesitate to ask. Their answers should address your anxiety, and will not increase it. If you still feel uncomfortable despite all the explanations, you are better off finding another company.
2. The price you pay is usually proportional to the quality of SEO services you get. Companies who have been in the SEO services industry for a long time and have established their reputation usually charge more. You may find the additional charge worth every dollar as they can offer you the best SEO services to fit your every need. On the other hand, if you go for companies that give out unbelievably low prices, you run the risk of receiving poor service without substantial results. However, this should not mean that you should stop looking for cost-effective SEO services. There is also a possibility that you may encounter providers which offer their services for rock-bottom fees because they already earn much. There is also a number of reliable SEO services provider which offers cheap service as the business strategy to attract more customers. Basically, this tip means that the price you pay for SEO services should not solely be your basis for choosing an SEO company to hire. Your main consideration should focus on the reliability and the credibility of the SEO company you have in mind.
3. Set a practical budget for SEO efforts and make the most out of it. Come up with a realistic budget that suits your business's current situation as well as your marketing needs and goals. Your goals must be just as realistic as your budget. Do not expect that allotting only a meager portion will take you right up into the first ten search engine listings. If you intend to land on the top 10, or even just in the top 20, be ready to spend a lot as SEO services providers usually do charge a fortune to get you that top 10 slots.
4. Widen your options. With all the choices you have for choosing an SEO company, look out for several options and scout around for great SEO services providers. Do not content yourself with companies who claim that they offer the cheapest SEO services as you will probably end up with a low-quality result or even have your site banned if the SEO firm engages in "Blackhat" techniques. Instead, aim for those companies who provide the most efficient and effective strategy to give you the best service that they can provide. What you should aim for is one who will give you the best value for the budget that you have set aside.
Local SEO for Law Firms
SEO services these days are more expensive than ever. The main reason for this high price is the same reason why you need to get one, anyway. SEO is known for its effectiveness in drawing customers into online sites. The more visitors translate to more chances of conversion and therefore, more sales. The price you pay for SEO services theoretically is worth every penny and will pay itself. So, make sure you choose the right SEO services to provide you only the best results.

March 22nd, 2012 – Charlotte, NC - The Automotive Super Conferenceis the first conference of its kind. Designed to cover a wide range of topics, the Automotive Super Conference is more than just sales, more than just digital or fixed-ops, it's a synergistic approach to everything a dealership needs to compete and dominate in today's customer-driven economy.
Unlike other dealership conferences, where you have to pick and choose which sessions you want to join, with multiple sessions at the same time, the Automotive Super Conference was designed with one session per time slot, ensuring that each attendee get's the full benefit of the wealth of information available.
"In my 38 years in the auto industry," says Craig Lockerd, CEO of AutoMax Recruiting And Training. "I've been to a lot of conferences and seminars. Never have I been to one that offers the full gamut of real-world dealership solutions, where each attendee didn't have to pick and choose, but could attend each session."
The Automotive Super Conference was designed so that everybody in the dealership could attend, with each session being part of the overall, bigger picture. What that means is that each session fits together, with the others, to form synergy from its multiple parts. What that really means is that a dealership can send somebody from each department and return with a holistic approach to solving today's most pressing real-world issues.
"In the past six months or so I've attended 4 different conferences, and was always left wanting." Says Craig Lockerd. " It was then that I decided I would look into distilling everything that makes one of these conferences great and throwing out everything else. That's when the idea of the Automotive Super Conference was born."
Over a two day period attendees will be presented with 8 different, 90 minute presentations, by industry thought leaders. These experts include, Craig Lockerd of AutoMax Recruiting And Training, Tracy Myers of Frank Myers Automaxx, Troy Spring of Dealer World, Jim Bernardi of Auto Pro Training, Tom Wiegand of 1 Team Synergy, Jerry Thibeau of Phone Ninjas, Nancy Simmons of N-Gage and David Johnson of Persuasive Concepts.
Each presenter will present real-world solutions for today's real-world dealership. Each solution has been vetted by the other presenters and will cover a variety of topics: bullet proofing your service department for increased loyalty and profitability, gaining instant credibility and dominating your market by building your expert status, improving your bottom line through the creation of a championship team, why using direct mail the way you're using it now is costing you money, how to create an inbound marketing strategy that will pull in leads like never before, and much more.
"I knew that this was bigger than me." Craig starts. "So I called the best and the brightest together, and as a team, we built the Automotive Super Conference from the ground up. Together we designed the curriculum, wrote out our goals, picked the best possible place for the first conference, and decided that we will always put our best foot forward, offering a complete solution for today's economical climate."
On June 27th and 28th, the first Automotive Super Conference will be held at the beautiful Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Both breakfast and lunch will be provided on both days with a cocktail reception after the first day of solutions training, on the 27th. Also, each attendee will receive a lap around the track in an official pace car, just prior to the cocktail reception.
"From beginning to end," Says Tracy Myers, dealer principal of Frank Myers Automaxx. "We wanted to create a world-class experience that detailed real-world solutions for today's dealership. We didn't want to have just another conference in Las Vegas, instead we chose a venue as unique as the solutions that will be given. We chose the Charlotte Motor Speedway!"
To register for the Automotive Super Conference and to learn more about each presenter and what they will be presenting on, go to AutomotiveSuperConference.com. For the first 30 days of open registration, there will be a $500 discount for early bird signups.
Also, sponsorship opportunities are available, check out the "Sponsorship" tab on their site.

Yeah, something exactly like that, Tom...how could any dealer pass this one up? Like I said before...just DO IT!!!
I wish I was able to be there. I would whip all your butts around that track....... :) What a great Line up.
Do you think that "Hot Rod Lincon" Can really do it? lol.........
This will definitely be a different kind of conference. Real world issues with talented presenters!
This is going to be a terrific conference. Great information, super location and professional presentations by experts who understand our industry. Why any dealer wouldn't jump at the chance is beyond me.
The best of the best!~
Thank you so much Bobby

The value of this thing is really insane to a dealer, especially at the early bird special rate.... Crazy.

When it came to researching her upcoming role as a neurosurgeon-turned-medical examiner, Dana Delany wasn't afraid of getting hands-on – literally.
"I got to hold a brain in my hands," Delany said of her visit to the coroner's office to prep for ABC's midseason series "Body of Proof." "It was very heavy – it's three pounds. The coolest thing to me was the pituitary gland is underneath the brain and it's boxed in this bone box that God or whoever designed, this beautiful little bone jewel case, and the pituitary is like the jewel of the crown and it wraps everything. It's safely nestled in this little box of bone underneath the brain. It's beautiful, really beautiful."
Perhaps due to her experience playing a Vietnam-era nurse on "China Beach" or all the skullduggery surrounding her on "Desperate Housewives," Delany admitted that she wasn't squeamish while cavorting with real-life cadavers.
U.S. & World
"I really wasn't," she said. "I got nervous because people told me I should be nervous, but once I saw it I loved it. I could've been there for hours. I didn't want it to end, and in fact I want to go see another one right away."
"I like medical stuff, " Delany said. "I think that's going to be the most fun part of the job for me, learning about all the medical stuff. It really is a miracle. I really don't know how you can't become religious after seeing an autopsy."
ABC's planning a major promotional for "Body of Proof" at midseason. The series stars Delany as Dr. Megan Hunt, a brilliant neurosurgeon who radically rethinks her life and career.
"She's someone who's been driven her whole life by work and is now realizing that that's not everything, that she needs to find more balance in her life," Delany explained. "I see her as Charon, the guy who carried the bodies across the river Styx. She sees that as honoring these people and what their lives were, and letting them go with dignity."

Dropfleet Commander
a topic posted Zoxe in All About MiniaturesAt long last, I've finally put some paint on the Dropfleet Army. I have an event at GenCon and an entire fleet to paint! Over the holiday, I managed to get about half the fleet primed and did enough of a test piece to know that my colors are going to work together. 1. I built up my pair of Battleships. These are the BIG boys on the field. More details on the build-up and a few more pictures HERE. 2. I built up a pair of GenCon Exclusive ships (no pictures yet). These are limited edition ships only available at shows - for those in the U.S., that means GenCon. They share stats with other cruisers, so there's no gaming advantage - just an alternate sculpt and different name. 3. I primed and started airbrushing the 2-player starter pack. The ship that's shaded isn't done - it's just "done enough" to know that I can catch up the other ships to this state of done-ness and then work on the details. HOPEFULLY I can replicate the process. (I tried to take notes and pictures, but ... yikes, it was a busy day!)
Airbrushing Corner
a topic posted Zoxe in All About MiniaturesThought I would break this response out into its own forum thread so it's not buried on page 7 of the miniatures painting feed. I can tell you how I set up my airbrushing, but the big horrible disclaimer is that this is just how I did it and there are many many opinions out there from folks with far more experience than me. However, just googling "beginner airbrushing" yields overwhelming results. Background: My goals setting out were simply to get away from rattle can priming. I had some disastrous results with AP White rattle can on some fairly expensive and hard to get Shadows of Brimstone resins that actually put me off of mini painting for 6+ months. But, I had Kingdom Death inbound from KS and had to figure out how I was going to get the game painted up. So, reluctantly, I turned to airbrushing. I wanted to do this fairly cheaply (I wasn't convinced I'd stay with it) and due to the overwhelming/conflicting information out there wanted something fairly turnkey. I also knew that I was going to be doing low-volume work (compared to a pro painter doing several dozen or hundreds of commissions a year) and did NOT need a lot of fine detail. Equipment: Master Airbrush Kit (Amazon, $80) - Comes with most everything needed - compressor, airhose, brush. The compressor isn't horribly loud, but the regulator on it really has no discernible PSI adjustment. The airbrush that comes in the kit is fairly clunky; I haven't used it yet but may dedicate it to varnish or other things that are hard to clean Iwata-Medea Airbrush Cleaner (16 Oz.) 4 SET Airbrush Spray Gun Wash Cleaning Tools Needle Nozzle Brush Glass Cleaning Pot Holder (Amazon) These 3 items are the "Frequently bought together" on Amazon and are the bare-bones basics to get you started. Badger 105 airbrush - Impulse buy that I don't regret. I had several brushes in my Amazon cart for weeks - H&S, Iwata, etc. My opinion is that with a good name brand you really can't go wrong, but the thought of shelling out $250+ for an airbrush seemed a bit harsh. I bought the Badger 105 simply because it was far cheaper, and it was the one featured in Miniature Monthly's videos (I could watch my exact airbrush be disassembled and cleaned). See also below. Spare braided hose - Badger, via Amazon Separate water separator/filter in between the two hoses (also required an $8 adapter set sourced from Amazon). Quick Disconnect Squeeze bottle to put cleaner in Misc stuff: Paper towels, disposable brushes (to mix thinned paint), 1 oz disposable jello shot cups to mix paint in, and some latex gloves that I said I'd wear but never do Airbrush Booth: If you're going to airbrush indoors, a good well lit and filtered booth is going to be nice. The airbrush will leave "dust" behind even if you spray into a cardboard box. I tried this cheap one from Amazon (sensing a trend?) and like it. There are youtube videos for homemade versions, though. Warning: This same model of booth is currently on Amazon under various "brands" - they are identical but the price varies. This one seems to be the cheapest version of the same item. Again, this is how I did it. It's working for me. I have a fair amount of $$ wrapped up in this, but far less than going "super premium" straight out of the gate. Lastly, there are a LOT of youtube videos out there for free, but I very much recommend backing Miniature Monthly on Patreon. Aaron is the factory painter for Shadows of Brimstone, and Elizabeth Beckley does commissions for Ninja Division and (since GenCon2017) Kingdom Death. Much of their painting techniques are FAR (far, far, FAR) beyond anything I intend to tackle, but their beginners guides for Airbrushing and Cleaning Airbrushes as well as the recent videos on how to prep models have really really helped me. At $10/mo, it's a good investment for me. I'll close out with a few pictures. The KDM ones are repeats, but the Shadows of Brimstone Autocannons are new.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
I'm so happy that DAX Studio finally supports Excel 2013! As Darren Gosbell described in his blog, this release has a few internal changes that will better support future enhancements. I will port the code to capture the query plan for a query in this new release, but unfortunately it will require some weeks because I'm traveling a lot in these days.
If you write DAX formulas and queries for PowerPivot or Analysis Services Tabular, DAX Studio is a must have tool: do you really want to live without a DAX Editor? There are a lot of possible improvements and I hope other contributors will give their help to this Codeplex project.
Hello Marco,
I have an account with Botticelli and wondering if possible to register here in your site to get new info on DAX and news on BI. When I try, I noticed it is blocked for new user. Would you please let me know if I can or can not?
Thanks again

Gaia launch postponement update
Yesterday, the decision was taken to postpone the launch of ESA's Gaia mission after a technical issue was identified in another satellite already in orbit.
Gaia shares some of the components involved in this technical issue and prompt notification of this problem has allowed engineers working on the final preparations for Gaia's launch to take additional precautionary measures.
The issue concerns components used in two transponders on Gaia that generate 'timing signals' for downlinking the science telemetry. To avoid potential problems, they will be replaced.
The transponders will be removed from Gaia at Kourou and returned to Europe, where the potentially faulty components will be replaced and verified. After the replacements have been made, the transponders will be refitted to Gaia and a final verification test made.
As a consequence of these precautionary measures, it will not be possible to launch Gaia within the window that includes the previously targeted launch date of 20 November.
The next available launch window is 17 December to 5 January 2014.
More details will be given as soon as they are available. The new launch date will be announced when the timeline for completing the additional work has been confirmed and the overall launch manifest of Arianespace has been established.
Gaia is ESA's billion-star surveyor, designed to provide a precise 3D map of our Milky Way galaxy in order to understand its composition, formation and evolution.
Updated 29 October:
The upcoming launch manifest of Arianespace has now been established. Gaia is scheduled for launch on 20 December.
Updated 22 November:
The checks on the Gaia satellite are proceeding well, enabling the launch to take place on Thursday 19 December.
The exact time of launch is 09:12:18 UTC/06:12:18 local time in French Guiana.
