The follows can certainly become overwhelming. I mean… there is only so much time available to do everything there is to do and read other worlds. I certainly can't keep up with all of you lovelies. You are so many. You are consistently coming here and liking, commenting though. I'm so humbled by all of you. And some of you I haven't even followed. Still, you show up here and star the like. I'm so humbled and touched by your consistent support. I know I've said this before – I do love you all and I am very grateful for each and every one of you. My head down and my hand over my heart. A humble thank you with lots of love!
Now, I would like to recognize two friends that have recently touched my head lovingly.
Petoi Lin, you have been around my head since I can remember. Dear friend your fantasy world, touching poetry, your lovely whimsy, are truly enchanting. From one dreamer to another, I'm excited for you bringing your work to fruition, publication. Your world is some of the stuff I love. Love, for example… it dwells in your paradise so sweetly with an edge of melancholy and pixy dreams. I'm in love with that soft adornment you enhance your posts with, your fiction resonates. Keep going and stay beautiful as your spirit is clearly on the right path touching everyone who follows you!
Chronos, my friend, it was the music that connected us. This connection is so powerful. I'm consistently floored when I find other kindred spirits that are as touched by music as I am. But… you sir, have some very insightful pieces enhanced by beautiful photography. I mean… stunning! You're eye behind that lens is quite powerful. Then you add music. Perfection. Thank you for bringing those elements together so beautifully for this humble fan. Muito obrigado.
Now you would all do well to check out these two beautiful loves. You will thoroughly enjoy their worlds.
Music for this post? Well, Petoi might not be old enough for this but Chronos I think might get this. New Order. Yes! I was so into them having grown up in a different world than anyone in my family. I was smitten by all things British and music was a constant support in my life. I know… I'm repeating myself here. Okay, fine. No more stalling. New Order… here's one of my favorites.
Love y'all! Truly!
Thank you for reading and for listening.

Turkey (6 Days/3 Nights) … Istanbul 4* - [TR03]
Istanbul owes its historic importance and its amazing cultural and architectural heritage to its perfect strategic location, straddling the Bosphorus straits which separate Europe and Asia Minor. Through most of its 2,500-year-long history, the city (first known as Byzantium, then as Constantinople and since 1930 as Istanbul) was a cultural melting pot. Today, its population of more than 13 million is almost exclusively Turkish, and many of its people are recent migrants from provincial Turkey, lured by the promise of jobs and careers in this vibrant, fast-growing city. Istanbul is no longer the nation's capital, but is Turkey's economic and cultural powerhouse - a status underlined by its role as a European City of Culture in 2010 and the award of UNESCO World Heritage listing to many of its most important landmarks, which range from stunning Ottoman mosques and Byzantine churches and catacombs to the columns of Hellenistic temples and the remains of massive medieval city walls. But there's more to Istanbul than Byzantine and Ottoman heritage. A fast-growing economy contributed to a flourishing arts and music scene, with a plethora of new bars, clubs, private art galleries, restaurants and designer fashion outlets.

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
The name apatite comes from a Greek word "apatos," meaning deception, which alludes to the mineral's similarity with other more valuable minerals such as olivine, peridot and beryl. It can be transparent to opaque, with color that is typically green but can also be yellow, blue, reddish brown, violet and colorless. This gem exhibits an unusual "partially dissolved" look similar to the look of previously sucked-on hard candy.
Apatite is widely distributed in all rock types, but is usually just found as small grains or fragments. Large and well-formed crystals, though, can be found in certain contact metamorphic rocks; but with a hardness of 5.0 on the Mohs Scale, the softness of apatite prevents wide distribution in the jewelry market. Apatite occurs generally in rather rough prismatic crystals, the largest being 4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.
In most limestone quarries, careful search shows the presence of small prisms of bright green apatite in the limestone. Notable occurrences include Germany, Brazil, Russia, Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Canada, East Africa, Sweden, Spain and Mexico.

One of groups that I follow is The Global Education Collaborative. As I read an email message the other day from Lucy Gray about our recent world events – from Middle Eastern uprisings to the catastrophic earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan – I wondered what are we doing with these events in religious education?
Larry Felazzo, is always sharing wonderful links for educators. It is no surprise that he offers the following regarding the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami.
The Best Sites for Learning about the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Part II
A Compilation of the Best Lists about Natural Disasters
All helpful links to learn more about natural disasters.
Yet, how are we talking about the "faith" dimension of these experiences? CNN just published a blog post titled "Finding Faith Amid Disaster," a wonderful post with comments by various religious leaders, including Jim Martin, SJ. In Part III On Present Dilemmas in the book Here's My Heart, Here's My Hand by William A. Barry, SJ, there are meditations that address some of the fears evoked in us and aim to help readers engage more deeply in a relationship of friendship with God.
The USCCB shared a news release – Bishops Voice Solidarity with Japan, Urge Catholics to Support Efforts of Catholic Relief Services Following Earthquake
Lucy also shared information from Architecture for Humanity and Quest Atlantis, a 3D immersive learning experience for kids. I share these articles with you as they offer a simple way to engage our children to assist those who are suffering because of the recent disasters in their countries.
Children Worldwide Fold Paper Cranes to Support Rebuilding Effort in Sendai
** Dozens of Countries Responding Including Over a Thousand Haitian Children **
SAN FRANCISCO, March 21, 2011 — In response to the devastating earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan on March 11th, Students Rebuild has partnered with DoSomething.org's "Paper Cranes for Japan" campaign to inspire young people worldwide to support their Japanese peers.
Paper Cranes for Japan combines the power of DoSomething.org's deep experience engaging youth audiences and the Bezos Family Foundation's commitment to help young people connect, learn, and take action around critical global issues.
In less than a week, 7 schools in Haiti are making cranes, representing more than 1000 kids collectively folding for Japan; over 7,000 young people posted origami cranes and wishes of support on the "Paper Cranes for Japan" Facebook page and Students Rebuild has had over 200 requests for mailing labels to send in cranes from over 15 different countries including Romania and New Zealand. Building on that momentum, the Bezos Family Foundation announced today a pledge to donate $2 for every crane mailed in to fund Architecture for Humanity's plan to support Japanese architects' rebuilding efforts.
According to legend, anyone who folds a thousand paper cranes, which are sacred creatures in Japanese culture, will be granted a wish by a crane. With a goal to collect 100,000 origami cranes from young people to represent wishes of support and healing, the challenge hopes to raise $200,000 for the reconstruction of a youth facility by the Japanese team from Architecture for Humanity. The thousands of cranes will go on to become a permanent art installation in a school or youth facility being rebuilt by Architecture for Humanity in Japan. This huge display of cranes will be a symbolic gift from students around the globe.
Architecture for Humanity and the Bezos Family Foundation partnered previously through Students Rebuild in response to the devastating Haiti earthquake in January, 2010. Paper Cranes for Japan represents a second Students Rebuild challenge, in collaboration with DoSomething.org, mobilizing young people to connect and address critical global issues including young people in Haiti who know firsthand the devastating impact of a massive earthquake.
"This initiative empowers children around the world to created a simple gesture that will become more than just symbolic," says Architecture for Humanity co-founder Cameron Sinclair. "Through Students Rebuild, we look forward to updating the crane makers on how their efforts allowed our Japanese architects to respond to the rebuilding efforts in Japan."
"DoSomething.org started 'Paper Cranes for Japan' as a way for all young people who want to help to do so without a car, an adult, or money. With this partnership, their wishes of support will now translate into funding to rebuild schools and communities," says DoSomething.org Editor in Chief Betsy Fast.
Architecture for Humanity and its teams of local pro bono building professionals in Kyoto, Osaka, Sendai, and Tokyo are actively partnering and lending their services to organizations and community groups to mobilizing around long-term reconstruction efforts.
"We believe young people are uniquely poised to affect the world's most pressing problems," says Bezos Family Foundation president Jackie Bezos. "They're often overlooked as a source of talent and solutions."

About the Partners
Students Rebuild is an initiative of the Bezos Family Foundation that activates our greatest creative resource "young people" to catalyze change on critical issues. Learn more about Students Rebuild and the Bezos Family Foundation.
DoSomething.org is one of the largest organizations in the U.S. that helps young people rock causes they care about. A driving force in creating a culture of volunteerism, DoSomething.org is on track to activate two million young people in 2011. Plug in at www.DoSomething.org.
Also, the following is from our friends at Quest Atlantis, a 3D immersive learning experience for kids:
Greetings, all.
Like many of you, we've been overwhelmed at the devastation that our friends in Japan are currently experiencing as a result of the devastating earthquake and tsunami.
Based on the legend and story of 1000 cranes, we have built an interactive experience in the 3D world. Upon entering Emissary Island, you will see a Japanese boy, Harumu, beneath a large red crane. When you click on him, he will tell you about his concerns about the earthquake and tsunami. We have opted not to talk much about the nuclear reactor issues, as this is still volatile and may cause more concern at this point, but Harumu will give some information to help students understand the situation without causing undue concern or fears. The boy mentions the legend of the 1000 cranes and says he wants to fold 1000 cranes in the hopes that his wishes for his friends back in Japan will be realized. But after beginning the process of folding, he realizes that he needs help…much more help!
Students are then invited to follow a path of cranes up the hill in Emissary Island where they can fold a "virtual" origami crane to help with the cause. Before finalizing their crane, they imbue it with one of four wishes: Health, Hope, Comfort or Peace. Once they complete their crane, a confirmation will show up in their Qpack which will contain the kanji symbol for those words.
Students are then encouraged to visit the bulletin board to post on how they can engage in real world efforts to help the people of Japan. They will find a 3D video on origami crane folding should they wish to organize an effort in their school or fold their own REAL paper crane, and they will learn of other real world ideas to promote a sense of activism.
Upon completion of the activity, students will earn a special t-shirt, red with an origami crane, as a symbol of their participation. Students can fold as many interactive cranes as they like, and an interactive tally board will show them how many cranes have been built to date.
We hope you will encourage your students to participate and to wear their special t-shirts to display our solidarity and our best wishes for the people of Japan during this time of unthinkable hardship.
I will provide a few links here which may help, should you choose to continue the activity of discussion in your classroom:
Should you wish to make real origami cranes in your classroom, check out this link for a wonderful 3D video that shows you how to build an origami crane. (Our thanks to creator Derek Stancombe who graciously allowed us to put the video in the 3D space).
Click this link, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, to learn more about the non-fiction story which has inspired a world.
How to Talk to Children about the Disaster in Japan
For older students, you may want to encourage them to make a crane and upload an image on Facebook. Dosomething.org is currently holding a campaign to make 100,000 cranes worldwide! Learn more at Dosomething.org.
Encourage your students to post ideas on the bulletin board associated with this activity. We are hoping that students will feel compelling to find some way to help, however small, in their schools or communities.
My thanks to Bronwyn Stuckey, Steven Caldwell, and Kevin Johnson who helped us generate ideas and outline the experience, and my thanks to members of the QA team, Ed Gentry, Janis Watson, Stephanie Scharf and Brenden Sewell, who quickly jumped on the idea and helped bring it to life.
With my best wishes for hope, health, comfort and peace for people of Japan during this terrible time,
Yours in Questing,
Donna Macri Stevens
So, these are some "faith" ideas to use at this time. Perhaps you would like to share what you are doing!

ICAAC 2012: Novel NNRTI MK-1439 Shows Potent Activity, Distinct Resistance Profile
- Details
- Category: HIV Treatment
- Published on Wednesday, 26 September 2012 00:00
- Written by Liz Highleyman
The novel non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) MK-1439 exhibited good activity against a variety of HIV subtypes and maintained its potency against most common NNRTI-resistant viruses, researchers reported at the 52nd Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC 2012) this month in San Francisco.
NNRTIs are generally well-tolerated antiretroviral drugs, but emergence of resistance and cross-resistance can limit their effectiveness. In addition to a favorable resistance profile, researchers are looking for NNRTI candidates that have few drug-drug interactions, are well-tolerated, can be taken once-daily without food requirements, and can be combined into coformulations.
Ming-Tain Lai and colleagues from Merckcharacterized the antiviral activity and resistance profile of the next-generation NNRTI MK-1439 in laboratory studies.
- MK-1439 demonstrated good potency in vitro against a panel of nearly 100 HIV isolates from different subtypes.
- MK-1439 inhibited reverse transcriptase activity of wild-type HIV-1 and viruses with the K103N and Y181C, and dual K103N/Y181C NNRTI resistance mutations, with less than a 3-fold potency shift.
- MK-1439 was less active against virus strains with Y188L and triple mutations.
- MK-1439's activity against a broad range of NNRTI-resistant viruses was superior to that of efavirenz (Sustiva, also in the Atripla combination pill), and comparable to those of etravirine (Intelence) and rilpivirine (Edurant, also in the Complera coformulation).
- MK-1493 had a distinct resistance mutation development pathway, with identified new mutations F227C, L234I, V106A, and V108I identified in breakthrough virus.
- MK-1439 's 76% protein binding was lower than that of efavirenz, etravirine, and rilpivirine (all > 99%), but comparable to that of nevirapine (Viramune) at 62%.
- The new drug appeared to have low potential for drug-drug interactions.
- Though mainly metabolized by the CYP3A enzyme in the liver, MK-1439 was not a CYP3A inducer or a P450 inhibitor.
- MK-1439 did not show cytotoxicity (ability to kill or damage cells) in 10 different in vitro cell types.
- MK-1439 had low potential for "off-target activity," suggesting it may cause fewer side effects including central nervous system effects associated with efavirenz.
Based on these studies, the researchers concluded that MK-1439 warrants further development and that preclinical data support low once-daily dosing.
Lai said that a Phase 2a study has been done (though he did not reveal the findings) and investigators are ready to launch a Phase 2b trial comparing MK-1439 versus efavirenz, both combined with tenofovir/emtricitabine (the drugs in Truvada), in treatment-naive individuals.

Summary: How to integrate a non Django database system in your Django code, using Wordpress as example. The completed code is available at github or you can see some screnshots
Though there are quite a few good Django blog applications, our blog is based on Wordpress. A number of plugin's make moving to a Django based app a bad decision for us, and not in the spirit of "best tools for the job".
We moved the other way, and decided to use Django to admin the Wordpress database. The completed code is available on Github
It is not too hard, with the the builtin Django commands. Django provides the
inspectdb command which allows you to build your models.py from an existing
non Django database.
Here we will see the steps followed for Wordpress, but it would be about the same for all systems.
Take a back up of wordpress
mysqldump -u wordpress_user -p --database wordpress_database > data.sql
Create a new project, and set its settings to use the Wordpress database.
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql' # 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
DATABASE_NAME = '' # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
DATABASE_USER = '' # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PASSWORD = '' # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_HOST = '' # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PORT = '' # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
Get the initial models.py
./manage.py inspectdb > models.py
This will create all the database tables in a form Django can understand. Here is what this command creates for a my Wordpress installation with the YARPP plugin. http://gist.github.com/278962
Create a new app and put this models.py there.
With this done, you can treat the non Django part as a
standalone application. Since Wordpress appends all its table with
wp_ prefix,
we name this applications
wp to maintain table name compatibility with Django naming
You will notice that all models have the
db_table populated, so we can rename tables, without changes to the database.
Differences between Wordpress and Django style naming.
At this point you will notice some differences in how Django names things (in a best practice sort of way), and how Wordpress does it.
a. Django table and model class name are (generally) singular. eg
class Post(models.Models) leads to table
Wordpress tables are (most of them) named plural eg
b. Django attributes are generally named without the table name part. Eg
class Comment(models.Model):
author_name = models.TextField()
content = models.TextField()
Wordpress is explicit here and includes the table prefix with attributes.
mysql> desc wp_comments;
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
| comment_ID | bigint(20) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| comment_post_ID | bigint(20) unsigned | NO | MUL | 0 | |
| comment_author | tinytext | NO | | NULL | |
| comment_author_email | varchar(100) | NO | | | |
I believe this is due to the way you would generally be using the code. In Django you would do
comment.author where being explicit doesn't add any value, while in Wordpress, you would use,
select comment_author, post_title ... from wp_comment, wp_post ... where join, where being explicit
is useful.
You can decouple the Django and database names by using the
db_table and
db_column attributes.
We choose to rename the Class names to match Django conventions while we let the column names remain the same.
Add Admin and other Django niceties.
Wordpress doesn't (seem to) have foreign key constraints setup correctly, and
bigint(20) unsigned without foreign key constraints to refer to referred entities.
This means Django creates all ForeignKeys as IntegerFields.
Modify them to use ForeignKey instead. Also add
__unicode__, to your classes.
Add an
admin.py to register all your classes.
And you are done! Now you can access, and work with your Wordpress data inside Django and Django admin.
There are a few more things which will allow a easier Wordpress setup.
Create template tags to show the latest posts and comments.
def show_posts(num_comments):
return {"posts": Post.objects.filter(post_type="post", post_status="publish").order_by("-post_date")[:num_comments]}
So you can see that there is nothing Wordpress specific we need too do here.
Create a better admin.
Add ModelAdmin to generally used models.
Allows accessing attributes via the Django style names.
If you override
__getattr__, you can access
the attributes via other names. Eg in the current setup you need to do
comment.comment_author etc,
while we would like to do
comment.content and
comment.author as a shortcut.
class WordPressModel(object):
def __getattr__(self, v):
if v in self.__dict__:
return self.__dict__[v]
new_v = "%s_%s" % (self.__class__.__name__.lower(), v)
if new_v in self.__dict__:
return self.__dict__[new_v]
raise AttributeError
It is highly debatable whether this is a good idea :), but it is too convenient right now not to test this method out.

I've been married to a Korean (whose family is not well-to-do, where as my folks are multi-millionaires) for years. I do not post the money issue to brag, but rather to show that even with such differences, my in-laws have NEVER made it a point to take my money. In fact, they are wanting to give us about $800,000US worth of land. Yeah, I know, nothing in life is free. We will, in the end, support them...but that is after give and take. THey could easily sell the land, and live well...but rather choose to give it to us...I see it as give and take, and they help us out immensely. Not to mention they want us to have kids here so they can take care of them for us. I am moving in with them (quit job and attending language school), so I felt that I ought to do something in kind. New wallpaper throughout the house, bedroom flooring, and new everything in the bathrooms...getting them to agree was like pulling teeth. I had to have a team sneak in while they were out to get it done...'course, Momma is all happy with the new look. My in-laws want us to save our money, work hard, and enjoy ourselves. Of course, they already know that we will support them later in life, as my wife's two younger brothers are dense as balls, and will make 2,000 won an hour for life..... Then again, supporting them ain't gonna be hard with their lifestyle. My wife says the girl's family are looneys...sorry, mate. Like others, over the years we've only given parents and grandparents money (even younger brothers when needed) during the holidays (100,000 won per person) and on birthdays gifts. This past week was Dad's b-day, he didn't want anything from us because we spent so much on the house schtuff. I think we've got to come up with a Korean word for "golddigger," as there isn't one.

Its the most natural thing to do. As for "having nothing to start married life with" well our parents both mine and hers gave us things called "wedding gifts". Ever hear of those justagirl? You know, my parents sent us money to buy a new bedroom set. Her parents bought us appliances and other family members bought stuff or gave us money. As for your list of what keeps a marriage going. It is very true. But my question is this: Why would people in a marriage should automatically not feel "loving" anymore after a certain point? Finally as for the money per month thing. It is not standard and should be viewed as something strange for a person to ask for his or her parents. Perhaps there was misscommunication there or perhaps this is just a bad sign for ratlash....

As I was writing to you, I'll let you know that I wasn't trying to discourage you, but let you know about one thing I, and my other friends, have found out about in marrying Koreans. Again, I state that it's not bad, it's just something that you might not have known. I feel it's always better to know in advance, than to have expectations about something such as money, that aren't met. In any case, no purposeful misleading or lies were in my previous 2 posts. A sidenote in the first post was that there needs to be more than love to keep a relationship going. I'm just passionate about relationships because there are so many in the world that are torn apart by selfishness and distrust. I know you didn't ask about what makes a good relationship , but I threw it in, cause it's done wonders for me and my husband. I truly do wish the best for you and yours.

Back to top rapierJoined: 16 Feb 2003 Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2003 9:49 pm Post subject: Hardy and Tiny spoke earlier of his brush with a Vietnamese woman...I echo his practical concerns about marrying someone of a different culture. However, Not to ridicule H&T, but he obviously got what he deserved there. If you go out to get a trophy wife, and market yourself as the big rich westerner, you'll end up with nothing more than a commercial transaction where money is all important and you have to live up to your side of the bargain. This scenario can occur in your home country as well, money grabbing women/men aren't unique to poor countries like Vietnam. You can be taken on an equally painful ride back home as well. I refuse to believe that Vietnamese/ Thais are purely out to extort money from westerners by faking a romantic affair. It happens, of course, but there are plenty of Thais who are good people- I've met them. It depends what you give, as well. If you give love and honesty, you generally get it back. If you set out to take a pretty bride based on the fact that you can offer her a better financial future, this is purely what you'll end up doing.. The language barrier is daunting, but not insurmountable. Personally i think its a beautiful and courageous thing for a mixed race/ culture ccouple to embark on a relationship based on love and trust. Which is precisely why a big expensive wedding shouldn't be an issue; neither should the in-laws have marked out your expected future earnings and divided up the proceeds. Its good to take in other cultural viewpoints, but remember your own is equally valid....

Your mother lives in a country with a socialist system that provides enough money to live on thanks to social security and pensions of both a government and private variety. Elderly Koreans have a handout a fraction of that amount. Apples and oranges this comparison is.

I really wanted to dismiss Johnny Manziel as the top pick.
I wanted to justify knocking him down a few rungs on the board because he's a "running quarterback" and you know what running quarterbacks don't do? Win Super Bowls. I heard Manziel's name and I thought of Michael Vick – a guy who will get your team on ESPN's top plays but not a Lombardi Trophy.
I thought it was just too risky to take Manziel No. 1 because that's what history told me. Since 1990, 14 quarterbacks have been taken first overall, yet just two – Peyton and Eli Manning – have won the Super Bowl. But what's even more glaring is that eight – Tim Couch, David Carr, Carson Palmer, Alex Smith, JaMarcus Russell, Matthew Stafford, Sam Bradford and Cam Newton – haven't won a playoff game. That leaves Drew Bledsoe, Vick and Jeff George and Andrew Luck as top picks who have won at least one playoff game, though in fairness, Luck likely won't be on this list long.
Super Bowl winners Joe Flacco (18th), Ben Roethlisberger (11th) and Trent Dilfer (sixth) weren't even the first quarterbacks taken in the first round in 2008, 2004 and 1994, respectively. Aaron Rodgers was picked 24th overall in 2005. Drew Brees was picked in the second round in 2001. Tom Brady went in the sixth round, after 198 players had been selected. Hell, Kurt Warner wasn't even drafted and would have taken $6 an hour if a team offered, which would have been 50 cents more than he was making an hour stocking shelves at the Hy-Vee grocery store in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
I read about Manziel's celebrity lifestyle and thought he's too busy being the man off the field to be the man on it, much like I did when Mark Sanchez thought he was the biggest thing to hit New York since King Kong.
But then I did some research, looking past Manziel's highlight-reel plays and ability to hang with so many hot chicks that he'd make Hugh Hefner envious.
Manziel's running fuels his passing. Without his legs, Johnny Football would be just plain ol' Johnny.
There's a difference between being a "running quarterback" and one who uses his speed to extend plays.
Consider: Manziel had 521 more rushing yards and 27 more first downs on scrambles more yardage than any quarterback from a BCS automatic qualifying conference – ACC, American Athletic, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and Pac-12 – in the past two years. He had 29 rushes for at least 20 yards, which led the SEC, the nation's best league, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
"I don't know really who you would compare Jonny Manziel too," George Whitfield, Manziel's personal quarterback coach, told ESPN during an interview on May 6.
Try Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. As a senior at Wisconsin in 2011, he led all BCS automatic qualifying conference quarterbacks with 416 rushing yards on scrambles, including 18 that went for at least 10 yards.
All Wilson has done since entering the NFL as a third-round pick is win a Super Bowl and more games than any other quarterback the past two seasons combined.
Maybe Manziel is really Wilson's long lost twin who just lives a vastly more public lifestyle? It's scary because the statistical comparison is there.
"I don't see them as an exact match, but I definitely do get it," Whitfield told ESPN. "Russell Wilson came into the league seasoned, mature and played an awful lot of football and played a lot of baseball and Johnny looks up to him. I just don't know if those two are carbon copies."
Maybe not carbon copies, but very, very close, according to measurements.
Height: Manziel: 5-11¾; Wilson: 5-11
Weight: Manziel: 207; Wilson: 204
Hand size: Manziel: 9 7/8; Wilson: 10¼
Arm length: Manziel: 31 3/8; Wilson: 31
40-yard dash: Manziel: 4.68; Wilson: 4.55
Broad jump: Manziel: 113 inches; Wilson: 118
Vertical jump: Manziel: 31.5; Wilson: 34
Three cone drill: Manziel: 6.75; Wilson: 6.97
I wasn't too high on Russell entering the 2012 draft. Maybe it was because I thought – and still do – the Big Ten is inferior to the SEC. Or maybe, it was because I never saw him win a big game since the Badgers lost to Michigan State, Ohio State and Oregon. And maybe, it was because Wilson didn't carry the Badgers.
Regardless, I was wrong.
But I'm right about Manziel.

This castle is, aside from the venetian walls, a second defensive fort, built by the de Lusignans in the 13th century. It was reinforced and expanded in the beginning of the 16th century by the Venetians. According to legend, this is where Cristoforo Moro, a high Venetian official in Cyprus during the years 1506-08, killed his beautiful but unfaithful wife Desdemona. The case inspired Shakespeare to write his play Othello, hence the present name of the castle.
Famagusta (Greek: Αμμόχωστος, Ammóchōstos; Turkish: Gazimağusa or Mağusa) is a city on the east coast of Cyprus and is capital of the Famagusta District. It is located in a bay between Capes Greco and Eloea, east of Nicosia, and possesses the deepest harbour in the island. Since the 1974 Turkish invasion the city has resided in the de facto Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The old tourist quarter of Varosha is abandoned pending a settlement of the Cyprus dispute. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famagusta

Good Luck Getting an iPhone 5 Next Friday (Updated)
If you were hoping to pick up a new iPhone 5 on launch day, Sept. 21, but didn't awaken early this morning to preorder, get ready to stand in line. Because according to Apple's online store, preorder inventory of the device is already sold out in first-wave markets.
Apple began accepting preorders for the iPhone 5 around 12:01 am PT this morning and a little over an hour later the company was forced to move the shipping window for the device forward amid heavy demand. First promised with a delivery date of Sept. 21, the iPhone 5 is now showing a ship time of two weeks.
Evidently the device isn't nearly as big a disappointment as some have claimed, and consumers aren't too put off by the absence of those features — unproven features that are hardly ubiquitous in the real world — that some have criticized Apple for failing to implement.
So, as I said, if your intent is on being among the first to own an iPhone 5, you better dust off that lawn chair and the rest of your urban camping gear. Because you're going to need to stand in line outside an Apple retail store next Friday to get one. And you'll likely need to get there early. It took iPhone 4S preorders about 22 hours to sell out last year. iPhone 5 preorders were gone in about an hour. Caveat: AT&T, Verizon and Sprint are still promising delivery dates of Sept. 21 on their Web sites, but it's not clear if that pledge reflects available stock. Presumably, Apple's inventory numbers are the ones to go by.
Said Topeka analyst Brian White, "Clearly, iPhone 5 fever is in full swing."
Asked if it had preorder inventory enough to deliver on its still-promised Sept. 21 ship date, a Sprint spokesperson said, "Our projected delivery dates on sprint.com are thoughtful and are based on expected inventory for launch availability."
"Thoughtful"? I'm not quite sure what's meant by that either, but there you go …
Apple, Verizon, and AT&T have not yet responded to requests for comment.
Update: Ship dates at Verizon and AT&T have begun to slip by one to three weeks.

On Sunday, well-known iOS developer Flippo Bigarella released a new free jailbreak tweak in Cydia called GlyphPatch, which has managed to perk some eyebrows. The tweak fixes a vulnerability in iOS having to do with character rendering engines that can be the root cause of a DoS (Denial of Service) attack, as the developer explains:
The vulnerability can be effective against users through all kinds of application interfaces, including the Messages application, Safari application, Settings application, and more. Virtually anywhere in iOS where characters can be rendered, the user can be affected.
This vulnerability is also available in Mac OS X; Bigarella explains that he is working on a fix for Mac OS X users too, but it is not yet available at this point in time. GlyphPatch is an open source jailbreak tweak, and its source code is available on Github at this link. Bigarella goes into more detail about how the vulnerability works on his blog at this link.
After installing GlyphPatch, you will be protected from this vulnerability without having to take any further steps. If you want to grab it, refresh your sources and take a look in the Changes tab of Cydia.
Name: GlyphPatch

Tombstone, Arizona is "one of the most famous" and historic mining towns in the old west.
An old prospector was told he would only find his tombstone in the San Pedro Valley which
was inhabited by the fearless Apache Indians. So he named his first mining claim "Tombstone",
which soon became the name of the town.
The town is located between the Dragoon and Huachuca mountains on a beautiful high mesa.
During its boom period Tombstone was notorious for its brothels, saloons, and gambling houses
and is also known for the famous Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday shoot-out against the Clanton's in the 1880's.
Tombstone thrived and at one time was the most cultivated city in the West. But problems
with falling silver prices and underground water flooding the mines ended the boom period of
Tombstone in 1886.
Present day Tombstone has survived all these
years through the boom and bust periods and the Great Depression and in the 1930's was named the
"Town Too Tough To Die".

Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker
Chapter One
November 1860–January 1861
On Election Day, Elizabeth Keckley hurried home from a midafternoon dress fitting to the red brick boardinghouse on Twelfth Street where she rented two small rooms in the back. Although she never failed to carry her license attesting to her status as a freedwoman whenever she ventured out, on that day of the presidential election of 1860 she was eager to be safely indoors well before curfew. The city hummed with breathless excitement even though the white citizens of Washington City, District of Columbia, were not enfranchised to vote. In this, the capital's colored residents, both slave and free, were their equals, although Elizabeth prudently refrained from remarking upon this similarity to the wives of the city's social and political elite for whom she sewed the beautiful gowns they wore to balls and levees and receptions. Her patrons were united in their suspicion of and disdain for the Republican candidate, a lawyer from Illinois they disparaged as an unpolished rube from the West and a radical abolitionist. They disagreed, however, on which of his three rivals ought to succeed President Buchanan, who, if ineffectual, had at least done their home states and the South's "peculiar institution" no enduring harm.
If a spontaneous parade sprang up and turned into a riot, as happened far too often those days, Elizabeth wanted to be well away from the furor. Already the streets were filling with men hurrying from tavern to hotel for news of the election, gathering on corners with like-minded fellows and glaring across the way at their rivals, crowding anxiously around the doors of the telegraph office on Fourteenth Street although the returns wouldn't be in for hours yet. Many folks had obviously been enjoying the free whiskey dispensed by the various political clubs that dotted the blocks near the White House, and from time to time their bursts of raucous laughter drowned out even the unceasing clip-clop of horses' hooves and the more distant whistles of passing trains. As she made her way home, Elizabeth tightened her grip on her sewing basket and kept her bearing serene and composed, flinching only once, when a young man wearing a campaign button boasting a tintype of Mr. Breckinridge jostled her in his haste to reach the bulletin board outside the National Hotel.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she reached her own quiet neighborhood, a haven in what had been an unfamiliar city only months before. Earlier that spring, she had come to Washington City after a few failed weeks in Baltimore, where her struggle to find work convinced her to seek her fortune elsewhere. Not long before that, she had lived in St. Louis, where, after years of toiling and saving, she had purchased her freedom and her son's. Now George was a student at Wilberforce University in Ohio, and she was a successful mantua maker, a businesswoman with an admirable reputation, independent and free. She could more easily bear the miles separating her from her only child knowing that he was acquiring the education she herself had always longed for and had been denied, and that no man could claim him as property ever again.
Virginia Lewis, her landlady and dear friend, must have seen her approach through the front window, for she met her at the door. "What's the news?" she asked, breathless, studying her expression as if to read the answer there. "I know how your ladies talk. If anyone knows what's happening, they would."
"I'm afraid they don't know any more than we do." Elizabeth set down her sewing basket and unwrapped herself from her shawl. "Nothing's changed from what we heard this morning. Mr. Lincoln's favored to win, but we won't know for a fact until they count the ballots."
"I suppose your ladies wouldn't care much for a President Lincoln."
"Not one bit. Most of their husbands like Mr. Breckinridge, and so they do likewise. A few of them like Mr. Bell too." Elizabeth lowered her voice conspiratorially. "As for Mr. Lincoln, they fear he wants to free all the slaves."
They shared a laugh. "Well, then, God bless him," declared Virginia. "If that's true, I pray he wins."
Elizabeth nodded, but private doubts troubled her. No matter what the Southern partisans inhabiting the city said about Abraham Lincoln, as far as she knew, he had never promised to end slavery, only to keep it from spreading. But even if he had placed his hand on a Bible and declared himself a staunch abolitionist, her few months in Washington had taught her that candidates often made promises that they found impossible to keep after taking office. Whatever Mr. Lincoln's intentions, and whether they boded ill or good for Elizabeth and the Lewises and other colored folk, when Mr. Lincoln's people swept into the city to take over, most of Mr. Buchanan's would be swept out, among them the husbands of several of her best patrons. She could only hope that enough of them would remain behind to keep her business thriving.
It was perhaps too much to hope that the new First Lady would have a taste for finery, and that Elizabeth might somehow attract her notice.
It was well after midnight when she was startled awake by the sounds of shouting on the streets outside, of jubilant songs and speeches, and soon thereafter, of the firing of pistols and shattering of windows. She sat up in bed and strained her ears in the darkness, sifting sense from the jumble of noise and fury until she understood that the votes had been counted, the result announced.
Abraham Lincoln would become the sixteenth president of the United States.

Chinese churches face off against human trafficking -- and start to see social justice as part of their mission writes Sylvia Yu, a Hong Kong-based journalist and philanthropy adviser. She directed funding to Mercy Outreach in 2008 and 2009. EVERY TUESDAY, AI JIN and two other young women from one of China's underground urban Christian churches get together to pray—then walk the streets of a mafia-run red light district to tell girls as young as 13 who work in brothels that they can get out of prostitution. "Eight years ago, the average girl working in brothels was 25. Now it's 14 and 15," Ai Jin tells me. "I think it'll get worse since it's more difficult to find jobs, especially for girls from poor families with no education. They desperately need money to survive."
Ai Jin and her two colleagues work with Mercy Outreach, an organization that offers prostitutes and trafficked women a safe home and alternative jobs. Started in 2003, Mercy Outreach is one of the first social enterprises of its kind based near the infamous "Golden Triangle"—the euphemistic name for one of the world's busiest drug-trafficking routes. Running through Thailand, Burma, and Laos and bleeding into China, Vietnam, and Cambodia, it is a potent mix of extreme poverty, sex trafficking, rampant illicit drug production, and complicit local government leaders and warlords. Ai Jin, 28, is part of a new breed of daring young women pioneers from the underground church reaching marginalized people, such as prostitutes, who had not previously been readily welcomed into house churches. "My pastor told me that what I'm doing in reaching out to prostitutes is what Jesus did," Ai Jin says. "When I first started working at Mercy Outreach, I didn't even want to shake hands with prostitutes. Every day I prayed for more love for the women. Now I can treat them like my own family." Ai Jin and her peers see their work as part of their contribution to building a civil society—unlike some underground church members in the past, who have traditionally steered clear of social service in the community because of persecution from authorities. "Social work is a new area in China," Ai Jin says. "Most people don't want to help prostitutes. Others don't want to get in trouble with the mafia and pimps who control the girls."
Ai Jin and others at Mercy Outreach—mostly women in their 20s and early 30s—boldly speak to mafia bosses and brothel owners to offer alternative vocational training and to point out that what they're doing is morally wrong. She adds, "Just to be able to say to a person that what you're doing is wrong can start a chain of events that can make a difference in a person's life. We want to close one brothel at a time, reach one mafia boss at a time ... to reach the entire community for God." The organization provides free medical support and mental health services; it also runs a social enterprise selling jewelry made by rescued women and former prostitutes. Every morning before the work day begins, more than a dozen women on the morning shift in the jewelry-making workshop get together in a room to sing hymns, pray, and read the Bible. Kun Li, a petite staff member in charge of the main safe house, sits quietly in a corner with her head bowed in prayer. She says seeing the changed lives of the girls makes the intense challenges of this ministry worthwhile. "A lot of times I wanted to give up. But I'm encouraged by the fruit—the girls who have moved on and haven't forgotten Jesus," she said. EXACT NUMBERS OF trafficking victims in China and the Golden Triangle region are unknown due to the hidden nature of the crime. According to the U.S. State Department, the Chinese police reported rescuing 10,385 women and 5,933 children from trafficking in 2010 (the latter figure includes kidnapping for illegal adoption).
Trafficking, for forced marriages as well as prostitution, could increase dramatically in the years to come in China and the rest of Asia because of China's unprecedented gender imbalance: There is the prospect of an alarming shortage of at least 24 million marriageable women by 2020. Dubbed the "bachelor time bomb," this skewed ratio was brought on by the "one-child" family planning policy that China began in 1979. Families preferred boys to carry on the family name, leading to sex-selective abortions and infanticide. During my trip to China earlier this year, Ai Jin helped arrange interviews for me. One was with a young woman named Mei Mei. With her trendy auburn highlighted hair, meticulously applied make-up, and green hoodie, the jovial 23-year-old could fit right in at any campus or trendy hotspot—but Mei is a survivor of bride-trafficking. At the age of 14, she was tricked by a family friend of a classmate, taken by train to a distant place, trapped in a house with high walls, and strategically starved for two weeks. She screamed for days, but finally told her captors, "I'll marry whomever." The couple watching over Mei brought in several men to inspect her like a piece of meat, then sold her for less than $1,600 to a middle-aged farmer who couldn't afford to marry the traditional way.
He took Mei back to his home village and chained her up like a dog except when he wanted to have sex with her. Mei eventually became pregnant and, at the age of 15, gave birth to a baby girl. Soon after, Mei ran away and was recruited by a pimp to work in a brothel. She was sent to prison for six months for working as a prostitute. "When I got out of jail," she told me, "I felt so much self-hatred and was too ashamed to return to my family, so I went back to prostitution." A year later, Mei contracted HIV, something she had never heard of. The staff at Mercy Outreach pulled Mei out of a dark pit of drug addiction and suicidal thoughts. They gave her shelter, counseling, training, and a job in jewelry-making and made sure she took her HIV medication. With the help of Mercy Outreach, Mei made a decision to commit her life to Christ. Today, Mei is smiling, and has regained a sense of hope.
FROM BEIJING TO Hunan to southwest China to the Tibetan plateau, courageous Chinese Christians are fighting the scourge of sex trafficking and slavery. In Chiang Khong, a city in Thailand where a highway is being built to connect with China, a new base for Chinese missionaries engaged in anti-trafficking work is slated to start up. "This region is in a time of transition; the highway could bring even more crime and flow of trafficking victims," says a member of Target Ministries, a small international missions agency with bases in U.S. and Africa, which is setting up the base. On three separate occasions, he told me, he has come across bride trafficking in China where women were sold into marriage with much older men. He hopes to help foster "concerted efforts to help provide refuge for sex trafficking victims," he says, and to help "the Chinese church to make inroads into the Golden Triangle." Ai Jin and others' groundbreaking work is a picture of what is happening in the urban underground church in China. Slowly, Christians are wading into anti-trafficking work, preaching the good news to the afflicted, binding up the broken-hearted, and proclaiming liberty to the captives and freedom to prisoners.
But it will involve a radical mindset change in a shame-based culture to reach a segment of society that is considered the most "sinful": prostitutes, pimps, and the mafia, according to Andrew Chiang, a British Christian who lives in Beijing and is co-founder of Daybreak Asia, a social enterprise that builds bridges between China and U.S. "The church in China has the wrong theology—we need to reform the church.
There are problems in society historically because the church hasn't done what God has called them to do," he says. It is clear that Ai Jin feels a sense of calling to her work, but she has one other reason: Her 14-year-old cousin is a prostitute. "When I found out that my own cousin was working in a brothel and wasn't willing to leave, I was so upset and wanted to quit the ministry. But God said to me that, if I quit, other families will ask you, 'Why didn't you help my daughter?'" she says with tears in her eyes. "This makes me believe God called me here. If God is calling me, I want to do this ministry for the rest of my life. It's an honor, not a duty, to work here." Is this fact a challenge to Nigerian Christians and African Churches that ministry must go beyond "celebrity Christianity" and funfair inside our Church comfort zone to be moved like Jesus Christ to the streets where these prostitution, child trafficking, sex and drug trade is taking place. The issue is not the size of our castle churches or its popularity- the fastest growing church but the impact that bring real need people to meet real Jesus Christ that bring changes to such lives no matter the degree of their involvement in sin. Hence, Helping Hands Rescue Centre, you can partner to bring the life changing gospel of Jesus Christ to these people in compassion and love.
