Need a cute critter fix? Watching meerkats should do the trick. As if these animals weren't already adorable enough, it turns out they're ticklish too. While volunteering at the Harnas Wildlife Foundation in Namibia, a traveler discovered that this rescued meerkat loves having his tummy tickled. Watch as this little guy giggles uncontrollably.
These members of the mongoose family are known for standing on their hind legs to watch for predators –– but they need sleep too. This tired animal has an incredibly tough time keeping his eyes open while trying to stay upright
Looks like this one found the perfect place to take a nap. Luckily, the dog doesn't seem to mind the meerkat using him for a blanket.
It's hard to believe such a precious creature could be rejected, but this baby was abandoned by his parents. The good news is that he found a great new home at the zoo.

Past and present Donoho students, families and faculty gathered today for the school's Founders' Day program to celebrate 50 years of growth and success.
Fifty years later, this success amazes those who were initially involved.
"I think it fulfills and exceeds our hopes and aspirations for what we would have as a place of brilliant academic goals," said Betty Potts Woodruff, who was married to one founding board member, the late Thomas Potts, and another, Dr. Gerald Woodruff Jr.
Gerald Woodruff, the only surviving member of the founding board of directors, said he was fortunate to have an independent school education at the McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tenn., and was able to avoid sending his five children off to school. Instead, his kids were able to receive a college preparatory education in Anniston. He and his wife said his fellow founders would be thrilled to see the day's activities and the success of the school's students.
"That was the whole goal of this, to have a really, truly, fine college preparatory school," Betty Woodruff said.
The school opened in 1963 as the Anniston Academy, with 78 students in grades seven through 10. and renamed the Donoho School in 1976 in honor of Harriet W. Donoho, the school's major benefactor.
Over the past 50 years, the school has grown to 347 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. In that time, among the many accomplishments of the school's students, 91 have been named National Merit Scholars.
Monday's program was part of a weekend of festivities for alumni, faculty and families.
During the program, nine new members were inducted into the school's outstanding alumni — including doctors, lawyers, professors and teachers — who shared fond memories of hanging out in the school's senior lounge, going to football games, and succeeding in the classroom.
"I think it's wonderful for our current students to see these successful alumni to be coming back and recognized," school president Jan Hurd said.
Student body president Raj Kashyap, who delivered a keynote address, defined "the Donoho difference" that leads to such success. He said the difference could be found in the senior lounge that makes classmates family, the football players in the front row of the drama production, the homecoming queen who plays flute in the band, the required community service for high school students and the mutual respect students develop for their peers and their teachers.
Kashyup said it's also "the number of doors that were opened for me during high school, before college and that continue to open today ... Donoho gave me the opportunity to excel in arts, athletics and academics."
Allan Strand, who served as headmaster of the Anniston Academy from 1966 until 1971 noted that Donoho was founded during turbulent times, when families who feared problems that could come from school integration began starting what he called "escape schools."
Anniston Academy was not among these escape academies.
"As we are gathered here this morning, you may be sure your forefathers and mothers were focused on the quality of the educational experience they wanted their children to have," he said.
Strand told the crowd that the Donoho School has a proud history and has seen awesome progress over its five decades.
"May you who are current faculty, students, trustees and families hold in trust all the good that has been created here over many years," he said, "and proudly pass it on to the generations yet to come to this place and the culture that is the Donoho School."

Baseball is back, with all its attendant pleasures and vices: the impeccably kept infields, the crisp white lines, and the startling beauty of a well-thrown ball from third to first; and, on the darker side, the cursing fans, twelve-dollar beers, and rampant on-field tobacco use. Bobby Valentine, the former manager of the Mets and a current analyst for ESPN, takes on the last of those sins in an opinion piece for the Times on Thursday, calling for Major League Baseball to ban smokeless tobacco.
Valentine, commonly known as Bobby V., has had several public incarnations. You may know him as the best athlete ever to come out of the late Rippowam High School, as the last manager to bring the now hapless Mets to the World Series, as the goofy guy who donned a fake mustache and sunglasses and sneaked back into the dugout after being tossed from a game, or as the most popular American baseball export in Japan since Tom Selleck. But his latest version may be the most notable: public-health advocate.Continue Reading >>

ng-jackspa is a set of simple user interface programs that host a LADSPA plugin, providing JACK ports for its audio inputs and outputs, and dynamic setting of its control inputs through the user interface. Additionally, the plugin controls can be exported to or controlled by control voltages on standard JACK audio ports. The following interfaces are available: an ncurses visual (full screen) interface for the terminal; a GTK+ graphical interface; a Qt 4 graphical interface; and a command line interface for the terminal.
CDimg|tools is a set of commandline tools to inspect and manipulate CD/DVD optical disc images in formats uncommon on free Unix-like systems (like GNU/Linux or BSD). It makes it possible to convert .NRG Nero images, to demultiplex RAW+96 image files containing both stream data and sub-channel data, to decrypt CSS-scrambled VOB files, and to decrypt CSS-scrambled DVD Video image files.
BAD (BAckup Daemon) "watches" a directory and copies any files or directories moved/copied into it to another "backup" directory automatically using inotify. It will automatically generates hashes for files using the md5 hashing algorithm, and stores them in a file for quick and easy integrity checking. It will log (mostly) everything it's doing, and makes it very convenient to grep for certain messages using multiple logging levels which the user can set to get the desired output. It has its own built-in uninstaller which will delete any and all files it has created (besides the user's watch and backup directories).
TeachTables lets you create a scheduling and management site for your school. You can add rooms, lessons, groups, teachers, and students, enroll students in groups, assign groups to courses, assign teachers to courses, set up timetables for teachers, create plans for courses, set up tests for courses, and enter information for absent teachers, meetings (visible in timetables), and reservations for rooms/equipment. There is a quiz module with integrated support for numeric questions and symbolic evaluation of answers (pycas on the server). Server code is node.js, and the client is Javascript (based on jQuery and d3.js).

Article by Lilly Kofler:
Joonbug: Your sound fuses intense rock energy with pounding electro-beats, what inspired you to marry the two?
Parag: Well, we all have pretty diverse musical backgrounds and tastes. We are all rockers at heart, but electronic music has always been an influence as well. When we first started out, it was just a three piece punk act. But eventually we began working in samples, electronics, etc., and it sort of became the backbone for how we continued to write. We would work out riffs and parts in the studio with the band, and then put electronics to it, or sometimes vice versa. Eventually it developed into a sound that is unique to FIGO and something we just kept going with.
JB: Have your found your sound resonates more with the electronic fans or the rock fans, or both?
P: Both. It's been pretty interesting. We definitely have toured a lot with our DJ act, and it's gotten our name out there, but we've always made sure that our live band and rock shows keep up, and both definitely help each other. It keeps us unique when we are on DJ tours (i.e. Identity Festival or Ladytron/Faint in 2009) but at the same time has helped us separate ourselves from other punk and rock acts that we tour with too.
JB: Producing crossover music means you run the risk of getting lost in the shuffle between rock and electro. How have you created such a staple, standout sound and made FIGO a mainstay act?
P: Staying busy. That's really all it is. Because a lot of acts marry rock and electro, but I think we've done it in a way that is unique, but at the same time we stay busy. We know there is a risk of touring as a DJ act and touring as a full on band, and then having our fans expect one thing or the other, but the more we stay out there the more people see both sides and hopefully dig it either way. And both shows are similar in the sense that what you are getting is a unique blend of electro and rock whether its live or its DJ/studio tracks that we play out.
JB: You've produced a lot of remixes. When reworking another artist's track, how much of the original piece do you try to retain?
P: It always depends. 'With A Place To Bury Strangers' or 'Ladytron', we just kept the vocal and re-wrote the music behind it. With VHS or Beta and/or K'Naan, we used a bit more of the original melodies but re-did them on new synths or what not. It always just depends on the track and the mood we are in when in the studio.
JB: You guys have worked as a DJ duo instead of your usual 5-piece band for the Identity Festival tour. How does it compare to performing with the full crew?
P: Nothing beats the full live show, but DJ'ing at Identity these past two years has been absolutely incredible. DJ'ing for these type of shows always gets me pumped to get back into the studio with the boys and make some noise.
JB: You've traveled the country with Identity Festival and performed in front of every type of audience imaginable. Have any cities surprised you as rowdier than expected?
P: San Francisco and New York. Two best cities. San Francisco last year was absolutely mental. Looking forward to seeing how the After Dark party is for that market, it should be pretty crazy!
JB: How do playing the Identity dates compare to playing the in New York clubs where you got your start?
P: The catering is way better at Identity! Oh, and playing in front of thousands always helps too.
JB: What's your favorite part of being the resident DJ for Identity After Dark?
Being out there with my old and new friends. Dylan (Le Castle Vania) and Jamie (The Eye), who I met on the tour last year, has come out to each After Dark party to show support and hang out. Also I'm having a great time with new friends Stephan Jacobs and Audrey Napoleon. It's been a great run so far, and I'm really stoked to get out to the west coast for the final leg.
JB: What's next for you?
Well, right now it's all about getting my new remix for K'Naan some exposure, it's coming out on Octone/Universal Records this summer. I'm also working on a remix for NERVO's "You Will Love Again" for Astralwerks, and just got the stems from my buddies in DVBBS to work on too. PS met those guys this year on Identity and their show is fucking brilliant! After Identity I head to Israel and Europe for some dates, then more US club dates in the Fall including Lipgloss in Denver and Control in LA. I'll get some sleep in November...I think.

IIE's Construction Division brings together members who are involved in all facets of the construction industry, such as design, value engineering, project management, research, safety and ergonomics. With these combined resources, we hope to bring to the construction industry a rich supply of knowledge, innovation and experience that can have the kind of positive impact that IEs have long used to bring the manufacturing and service industries to superlative levels of performance. Review the Construction Division mission statement.
Dear Division Members,
Happy New Year! Welcome to 2014! I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of you for your support this past year. Without your support we could not have completed some critical items such as the Strategic Plan and the 2012/2013 Division Health Report (DHR). Based on the preliminary feedback we received on the DHR, we are in good shape.

Competition sponsored by the ConAm GroupCongratulations to Laura Florez, Georgia Institute of Technology, winner of the 2014 Construction Division Student Paper Competition! View Laura's winning paper, "Decision Support System for Sustainable Labor Management in Masonry Construction." The competition is sponsored by the ConAM Group, a builder and developer of residential projects throughout the United States.
In the September 2013 Newsletter, I was able to explore the burgeoning trend of Prefabrication, a practice that unites the formerly disparate worlds of manufacturing and construction into a single hybrid industry. Although last issue's article provided an idealistic argument as to the numerous benefits behind this activity, this month I was able to interview Tom Thistleton – COO of Pioneer Cladding & Glazing LLC – to garner a more realistic take on the benefits, challenges, and future trends surrounding this industry.

Dr. Calnon assumes leadership post at Eastman Institute of Oral Health
Rochester, N.Y.—ADA President William Calnon has been named acting director of Eastman Institute of Oral Health and acting chair of the Department of Dentistry, effective Aug. 1.
In this temporary capacity, he replaces Dr. Cyril Meyerowitz, a past chair of the ADA Council on Dental Education and Licensure, who is stepping down as announced in 2011.
Dr. Calnon is the current chair of the EIOH Board. He is a graduate of State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine and completed his residency at Strong Memorial Hospital.

Stocks rallied sharply in the final minutes of trading to finish near their highs in another volatile session Wednesday, buoyed by a handful of better-than-expected economic news and amid optimism over the euro zone.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 131.24 points, or 1.21 percent, to finish at 10,939.95, led by Cisco and Disney .
The S&P 500 climbed 20.09 points, or 1.79 percent, to end at 1,144.04. The Nasdaq jumped 55.69 points, or 2.32 percent, to close at 2,460.51.
The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, finished below 38.
Among the key S&P sectors, materials and industrials gained, while consumer staples slipped.
"Volatility is here to stay at least for some period of time in the foreseeable future," Rob Morgan, chief investment strategist at Fulcrum Securities told CNBC. "I cut back my weighting on stocks two months ago and I'm still not ready to jump in yet. Until we start to see some higher lows, I'm not so positive on stocks."
On the economic front, private sector employment gained more than expected, rising 91,000 in September, according to Automatic Data Processing. Economists had expected a gain of 75,000, according to Reuters.
Meanwhile, the number of planned layoffs at U.S. firms in September jumped to 115,730 last month, the highest in more than two years, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. The figure was more than double August's total of 51,114.
The reports come ahead of Friday's monthly widely-followed non-farm payrolls number.
European shares snapped a three-day losing streak, led by financials, after the region's finance ministers agreed to safeguard the region's lenders. The gains come even after Moody's downgraded Italy's credit rating by three notches and maintained its negative outlook for the economy.
Adding to woes, Spain's employment minister Valeriano Gomez admitted to CNBC the country would most likely miss its economic growth targetfor the year.
Meanwhile, Belgium and France are expected to finalize a rescue plan for Dexiaby Thursday that would sever the bank's French lending business and may nationalize its Belgian arm.
U.S. bank stocks were under pressure for most of the session, but reversed their losses in the final hour of trading along with the broader market.
Bank of New York Mellon was sued by New York federal and state prosecutors who accused the bank of cheating clients in foreign exchange transactions.
Apple unveiled its new iPhone 4S with upgraded features, but was welcomed with little excitement as fans had hoped for more than an updated version of last year's model. The letdown left Android rivals better placed to grab market share.
Meanwhile, Research In Motion jumped to lead the S&P 500 gainers amid market rumors that Vodafone may be looking to acquire the BlackBerry maker.
Yahoo surged following news that Microsoft may be considering a bidfor the troubled Internet company, according to Reuters.
Earlier, Microsoft said it's partnering with CNBC's parent company Comcast , HBO, Verizon's FiOS service and others to bring on-demand and live TV content to the Xbox.
Also on the tech front, Google slumped after Stifel cut its rating on the search-engine giant to "hold" from "buy." And Hewlett-Packard rose even after JPMorgan resumed coverage on the IT company with an "underweight" rating and at a price target of $20. And Citigroup cuts price target on HP to $28 from $45.
Coal companies rallied, reversing recent declines, with shares of Alpha Natural Resources soaring to lead the S&P 500 gainers. Arch Coal was also trading higher.
EU regulators will formally object this week to the planned merger of Deutsche Boerse and NYSE Euronext, according to Reuters.
On the earnings front, Costco slipped after the wholesale retailer
Yum Brands declined after the parent company of KFC posted a profit that matched estimates, but failed to assuage investor concernsabout slowing growth in China, its biggest market.
Also on the economic front, ISM non-manufacturing index came in at 53.0 in September, slipping from 53.3 in August. Economists polled by Reuters expected a reading of 52.9.
Weekly mortgage applications slipped last week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, reflecting a demand decline for refinancing loans even as interest rates fell.

Raised in the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin by Arnold and Ellen along with three brothers and a sister, Bob Luhm graduated from Greendale High School in 1966 and the University of Wisconsin in 1978 with a degree in psychology.
Bob traveled to Colorado to visit friends and after finding gainful employment decided to give winter in the mountains a try. Skiing in Telluride got Bob's attention. Many were the summer months spent felling trees for ski runs. Bob, a gallon of fuel, a quart of motor oil, a husky with a 36-inch bar, drinking water and rain gear following surveyors marks up the steep slopes.
The fishing and hunting and the vastness kept Bob in Colorado sampling a plethora of careers. All of the building trades from concrete to shingles with drywall and paint work in the winter months. Bob made splitting firewood look like dancing.
Drawn further West and North Bob settled in Walla Walla, Washington. Always comfy in his own bones Bob enjoyed the solitary life and died with lots of admirers and no enemies.

Benedict of Nursia (Italian: San Benedetto da Norcia) (c. 480 – 21 March 543 or 547) is a Christian saint, honored by the Catholic Church and the Anglican Church[1] as the patron saint of Europe and students.
Benedict founded twelve communities for monks at Subiaco, Italy (about 40 miles (64 km) to the east of Rome), before moving to Monte Cassino in the mountains of southern Italy. The Catholic Order of St Benedict and the Anglican Order of St Benedict are of later origin and, moreover, not an "order" as commonly understood but merely a confederation of autonomous congregations.[2]
Benedict's main achievement is his "Rule of Saint Benedict", containing precepts for his monks. It is heavily influenced by the writings of John Cassian, and shows strong affinity with the Rule of the Master. But it also has a unique spirit of balance, moderation and reasonableness (ἐπιείκεια, epieikeia), and this persuaded most religious communities founded throughout the Middle Ages to adopt it. As a result, his Rule became one of the most influential religious rules in Western Christendom. For this reason, Benedict is often called the founder of western monasticism.
Apart from a short poem attributed to Mark of Monte Cassino, the only ancient account of Benedict is found in the second volume of Pope Gregory I's four-book Dialogues, thought to have been written in 593.[3] The authenticity of this work has been hotly disputed, especially by Dr Francis Clarke in his two volume work The Pseudo-Gregorian Dialogues. Book Two consists of a prologue and thirty-eight succinct chapters.[4]
Gregory's account of this saint's life is not, however, a biography in the modern sense of the word. It provides instead a spiritual portrait of the gentle, disciplined abbot. In a letter to Bishop Maximilian of Syracuse, Gregory states his intention for his Dialogues, saying they are a kind of floretum (an anthology, literally, 'flowers') of the most striking miracles of Italian holy men.[5]
Gregory did not set out to write a chronological, historically anchored story of St. Benedict, but he did base his anecdotes on direct testimony. To establish his authority, Gregory explains that his information came from what he considered the best sources: a handful of Benedict's disciples who lived with the saint and witnessed his various miracles. These followers, he says, are Constantinus, who succeeded Benedict as Abbot of Monte Cassino; Valentinianus; Simplicius; and Honoratus, who was abbot of Subiaco when St Gregory wrote his Dialogues.
In Gregory's day, history was not recognized as an independent field of study; it was a branch of grammar or rhetoric, and historia (defined as 'story') summed up the approach of the learned when they wrote what was, at that time, considered 'history.'[6] Gregory's Dialogues Book Two, then, an authentic medieval hagiography cast as a conversation between the Pope and his deacon Peter, is designed to teach spiritual lessons.[3]
Early life[edit]
He was the son of a Roman noble of Nursia,[3] the modern Norcia, in Umbria. A tradition which Bede accepts makes him a twin with his sister Scholastica. If we accept the date 480 for his birth, we may fix the date of his abandonment of his studies and leaving home at about 500. St Gregory's narrative makes it impossible to suppose him younger than 19 or 20 at the time. He was old enough to be in the midst of his literary studies, to understand the real meaning and worth of the dissolute and licentious lives of his companions, and to have been deeply affected himself by the love of a woman (Ibid. II, 2). He was at the beginning of life, and he had at his disposal the means to a career as a Roman noble; clearly he was not a child.
Benedict doesn't seem to have left Rome for the purpose of becoming a hermit, but only to find some place away from the life of the great city. He took his old nurse with him as a servant and they settled down to live in Enfide, near a church to St Peter, in some kind of association with "a company of virtuous men" who were in sympathy with his feelings and his views of life. Enfide, which the tradition of Subiaco identifies with the modern Affile, is in the Simbruini mountains, about forty miles from Rome and two from Subiaco.
A short distance from Enfide is the entrance to a narrow, gloomy valley, penetrating the mountains and leading directly to Subiaco. The path continues to ascend, and the side of the ravine, on which it runs, becomes steeper, until a cave is reached above which the mountain now rises almost perpendicularly; while on the right, it strikes in a rapid descent down to where, in St Benedict's day, 500 feet (150 m) below, lay the blue waters of the lake. The cave has a large triangular-shaped opening and is about ten feet deep. On his way from Enfide, Benedict met a monk, Romanus of Subiaco, whose monastery was on the mountain above the cliff overhanging the cave. Romanus had discussed with Benedict the purpose which had brought him to Subiaco, and had given him the monk's habit. By his advice Benedict became a hermit and for three years, unknown to men, lived in this cave above the lake.
Later life[edit]
St Gregory tells us little of these years. He now speaks of Benedict no longer as a youth (puer), but as a man (vir) of God. Romanus, he twice tells us, served the saint in every way he could. The monk apparently visited him frequently, and on fixed days brought him food.
During these three years of solitude, broken only by occasional communications with the outer world and by the visits of Romanus, Benedict matured both in mind and character, in knowledge of himself and of his fellow-man, and at the same time he became not merely known to, but secured the respect of, those about him; so much so that on the death of the abbot of a monastery in the neighbourhood (identified by some with Vicovaro), the community came to him and begged him to become its abbot. Benedict was acquainted with the life and discipline of the monastery, and knew that "their manners were diverse from his and therefore that they would never agree together: yet, at length, overcome with their entreaty, he gave his consent" (ibid., 3). The experiment failed; the monks tried to poison him. The legend goes that they first tried to poison his drink. He prayed a blessing over the cup and the cup shattered. Then they tried to poison him with poisoned bread. When he prayed a blessing over the bread, a raven swept in and took the loaf away. Benedict returned to his cave at Subiaco. From this time his miracles seem to have become frequent, and many people, attracted by his sanctity and character, came to Subiaco to be under his guidance. He founded 12 monasteries in the vicinity of Subiaco, and, eventually, founded the great Benedictine monastery of Monte Cassino, which lies on a hilltop between Rome and Naples.[7]
He died at Monte Cassino not long after his sister, Saint Scholastica, died. Benedict died of a high fever on the day God had told him he was to die, and was buried in the same place as his sister. According to tradition, this occurred on March 21, 543 or 547. He was named patron protector of Europe by Pope Paul VI in 1964.[8] In 1980, Pope John Paul II declared him co-patron of Europe, together with Saints Cyril and Methodius.[9]
In the pre-1970 Roman Calendar, his feast is kept on the day of his death, March 21. Because on that date his liturgical memorial would always be impeded by the observance of Lent,[10] the reform of the General Roman Calendar set an obligatory memorial for him on July 11, the date on which some monasteries commemorated the translation of his relics to the monastery of St. Benoit-sur-Loire in northern France. His memorial on March 21 was removed from the General Roman Calendar but is retained in the Roman Martyrology.[11]
The Orthodox Church commemorates St. Benedict on March 14.[12]
The Anglican Communion has no single universal calendar, but a provincial calendar of saints is published in each province. In almost all of these, St Benedict is commemorated on July 11 annually all over the world.
Rule of St. Benedict[edit]
Seventy-three short chapters comprise the Rule. Its wisdom is of two kinds: spiritual (how to live a Christocentric life on earth) and administrative (how to run a monastery efficiently). More than half the chapters describe how to be obedient and humble, and what to do when a member of the community is not. About one-fourth regulate the work of God (the Opus Dei). One-tenth outline how, and by whom, the monastery should be managed. And two chapters specifically describe the abbot's pastoral duties.
The Saint Benedict Medal[edit]
This medal originally came from a cross in honor of St Benedict. On one side, the medal has an image of St Benedict, holding the Holy Rule in his left hand and a cross in his right. There is a raven on one side of him, with a cup on the other side of him. Around the medal's outer margin are the words "Eius in obitu nostro praesentia muniamur" ("May we, at our death, be fortified by His presence"). The other side of the medal has a cross with the initials CSSML on the vertical bar which signify "Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux" ("May the Holy Cross be my light") and on the horizontal bar are the initials NDSMD which stand for "Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux" ("Let not the dragon be my overlord"). The initials CSPB stand for "Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti" ("The Cross of the Holy Father Benedict") and are located on the interior angles of the cross. Either the inscription "PAX" (Peace) or the Christogram "IHS" may be found at the top of the cross in most cases. Around the medal's margin on this side are the Vade Retro Satana initials VRSNSMV which stand for "Vade Retro Satana, Nonquam Suade Mihi Vana" ("Begone Satan, do not suggest to me thy vanities") then a space followed by the initials SMQLIVB which signify "Sunt Mala Quae Libas, Ipse Venena Bibas" ("Evil are the things thou profferest, drink thou thy own poison").[13]
This medal was first struck in 1880 to commemorate the fourteenth centenary of St Benedict's birth and is also called the Jubilee Medal; its exact origin, however, is unknown. In 1647, during a witchcraft trial at Natternberg near Metten Abbey in Bavaria, the accused women testified they had no power over Metten, which was under the protection of the cross. An investigation found a number of painted crosses on the walls of the abbey with the letters now found on St Benedict medals, but their meaning had been forgotten. A manuscript written in 1415 was eventually found that had a picture of Saint Benedict holding a scroll in one hand and a staff which ended in a cross in the other. On the scroll and staff were written the full words of the initials contained on the crosses. Medals then began to be struck in Germany, which then spread throughout Europe. This medal was first approved by Pope Benedict XIV in his briefs of December 23, 1741, and March 12, 1742.[13]
Saint Benedict has been also the motive of many collector's coins around the world. The Austria 50 euro 'The Christian Religious Orders', issued on March 13, 2002 is one of them.
The influence of St. Benedict[edit]
The early Middle Ages have been called "the Benedictine centuries."[14] In April 2008, Pope Benedict XVI discussed the influence St Benedict had on Western Europe. The pope said that "with his life and work St Benedict exercised a fundamental influence on the development of European civilization and culture" and helped Europe to emerge from the "dark night of history" that followed the fall of the Roman empire.[15]
St. Benedict contributed more than anyone else to the rise of monasticism in the West. His Rule was the foundational document for thousands of religious communities in the Middle Ages.[16] To this day, The Rule of St. Benedict is the most common and influential Rule used by monasteries and monks, more than 1,400 years after its writing. Today the Benedictine family is represented by two branches: the Benedictine Federation and the Cistercians.[17]
The influence of St Benedict produced "a true spiritual ferment" in Europe, and over the coming decades his followers spread across the continent to establish a new cultural unity based on Christian faith.

. The thing is she loved severe biting and choking. I do NOT care for choking...that's just not me. But I enjoy nibbling, biting and sucking on my H chest during sex. He does not like for me to do it. He jokes that it hurts but he only enjoys being the who bites. He might rarely let me do that once in a blue moon. Something that bothers me and I don't want to bring it up, I just don't. I remember twice that I saw my H during the A, his gym shirt was loose and I noticed SEVERE bite marks on his chest. I mean the like a 8"x"8 section of black and blues on him.
Why did he do that with her and act like he doesn't want to because it hurts??? I rarely trigger during sex but I did yesterday. We wanted to fool around and he started telling me everything he was going to do and I hesitated for one thing and he tells me " the word no doesn't exist"
I completely and totally went numb. He knew instantly that I had triggered and wanted me to tell him why I turned cold all of a sudden.
Today he asked me in a way like he knew why I triggered. I told him...
When he was in the A and living with her, he told me something pretty hurtful. He had said once " the word no doesn't exist with her"
Am I this severely traumatized that this still bothers me???? I think maybe he triggers himself when he attempts to passionately suck on my skin. I see him start but stop midway like he doesn't wantto hurt me but it was different with her.
I just wonder why can't we do these certain things but he was 100% in to do this to her.

DD 6/26/10 (he broke down & confessed)
DD#2 3/14/11 H in OW's car
TT 7/1/11 (NC broken, through emails)
In R
The A allows you to detach from reality and ignore some of those inhibitions that we usually have. Im guessing that what he did with OW was disconnected from the emotional intimacy that he experiences with you.

"Even on my weakest days,
I get a little bit stronger"
How can you have a 2 year EA/PA , fall in love with that person, make plans and then when you get caught walk away like it was nothing? Or do you harbor feeling that you just don't share with BS? I just don't understand why after 2 years and getting caught the marriage you have consciously destroyed is now good enough! Please any insight?
I am both a BS and a WS. I think it probably varies from person to person, but from my WS perspective the reason for walking away like it was nothing would be because the marriage is more important than the A and that consequences were either never thought out or the selfishness and entitlement was so all encompassing that it overrode all logic at the time.
I have read so many of your posts and for your WH to have stayed with such a loser and destroy his whole family because of a "soulmate" feeling is just absurd. Also if they can't make their relationship work in real life what kind of "soulmate" connection is that? I am sorry you had to hear that nonsense.
How can you have a 2 year EA/PA , fall in love with that person, make plans and then when you get caught walk away like it was nothing?
Because I didn't realize until literally that very minute that it wasn't worth it.
Once the reality of getting caught set in---and the reality is more than just "oh shit, my spouse knows"; it's dealing with family, friends, coworkers, splitting up houses/finances/logistics (and for some of y'all, kids)---sometimes the WS suddenly realizes that this isn't what they really want after all.
I think that, all things being equal, the AP and I could have had a perfectly adequate relationship. It certainly was adequate years before, when we were a legitimate couple. But all things weren't equal. Suddenly, the reality set in that being together meant actively rubbing ourselves in the face of the person (my then-H) that we betrayed; of being a shameful relationship in the face of family and friends rather than one of joy; of constantly living with the stain of what we had done being a part of our history. In that moment, I realized, "No thank you. That is not the kind of life I want."
Don't get me wrong: I had considered all this during the affair. I thought I had my eyes wide open. But thinking about it in the abstract is very different than actually being confronted with the reality.
Or do you harbor feeling that you just don't share with BS?
I no longer have romantic feelings for the AP. Any positive memory or feeling for him is tarnished by the fact that for him, I threw away my loving and sweet and good husband.
I just don't understand why after 2 years and getting caught the marriage you have consciously destroyed is now good enough!
It's a cliche but I think it's true: sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone (or about to be gone).
Married 2.5 years
D-day 3/6/10
Divorced 5/14/10
Reconciling after divorce
I don't have advice for your situation, but I want to say that I'm sorry your XH is such an ass as to say that shit to you, and to ask WHY the hell is he telling you about his "heartbreak" over the OW anyway? I mean, seriously? Is he doing it to be deliberately cruel or does he have some reason to think you'd want to hear this??
We had a false recovery after affair was discovered, now we are committed to working on honest reconcillation.
One thing is preventing my WH showing complete remorse (which I need from him) is his difficulty in understanding why the OW lied about her feelings and ego boosting....it seems to be a part he struggles to accept....I feel he avoids the facts because he doesn't want to let go of the feeling it gave him....he says he knows she used him, he understands that, but why did she need to lie about her feelings etc....I said why wouldn't she, jealousy over what WH and I have....she told him she had never had someone love her for 26+ years, she would share him....of course she's got to say something/anything to keep him going back....
I would really appreciate any WS/AP who found themselves in this situation and what helped them to finally accept lies are part of justifying an affair.....
We want to move forward as for the last 3 months progress has been very good
Really hope some WS in particular can help my WH understand/make sense of the lies told by AP/WS and allow him to finally be remorseful (he wants this as well).....
[This message edited by tooloyal at 1:29 PM, February 8th (Friday)]
Your WH is still wrapped up in the affair fantasyland and fun feelings it gave him. It's easy to think that your affair was special and unique. For me I became wrapped up in the newness of meeting someone and all the flattery.
It wasn't until I spent some time on SI and learned that it's all part of the affair formula. That you used them and vice versa. I had to learn that EVERYONE who is a wayward follows the same recipe with AP lies and flattery to get what they want from you too. I remember feeling like a bigger idiot for falling for all the shit.
I'm not sure where your WH would learn that his affair was not special and the lies are typical for any wayward unless he joined SI as well and had a good dose of smarten the fuck up from other waywards. There is no book or online resource for the special type of 2x4s that only the SI wayward section would provide.

He has tried to convince me (for two years) but I still have those doubts. Have any of you waywards had success in convincing your BS that they are truly the one they want to be with, and if so, how did you do it. I am tired of wondering about this. I am a strong person, and this weakness in myself makes me want to puke. Thanks in advance. K
My WH has been keeping secrets from me for years, incl an EA about 4.5 yrs ago and a 2 year EA/PA that ended recently. He's finding it hard to get used to being honest and not holding back about some day to day stuff. I'm finding that this triggers me very badly and I'm almost at my emotional limit. I need some perspective, please.
"lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed" Heb12v13
"Oh God give me
I never thought my WH was even capable of lying until last year. Integrity was his middle name. We've been together a very long time, so I truly thought I knew the man. I can understand now that maybe that was a heavy crown to wear. Now I hardly have any communication with him and the minor communication we do have are usually easily found out lies.
I would like to understand why he lies? And I would like to understand how to approach him about him lying to our kids. He is in Mexico right now, when he said he was at a work training in Texas. I've snooped enough to feel confident that he is in Mexico with another couple and with OW. He lied to daughters about his trip, again saying he was working in Texas, and then he called dd17 from a strange phone number - which she googled and it was Cabo San Lucas. Not too bright, dear.
So what to do with this information? Ultimately, I feel that I know the true man and he is in a well of self abuse and hatred now. I worry for him greatly, knowing the permanent damage he's caused to his relationship with our daughters. He has never wanted to R with me, he just walked out and never looked back. I didn't know about OW for many months, because he lied to me. Lied to our girls, telling them he would never cheat on their mother while he was in the act of doing it.
I assume he'll be back next week and daughters are now sick of the lies and don't want to have anything to do with him. I assume he will contact dd17 when he returns and try to make arrangements to see her. She wants me to intercede. I was also lied to, so feel that I need to make a stand for my own pride and for my girls, but how to do it?
Before he left, I would have been a screaming mess. It would have been bad, I would have looked to cause the most pain. Fortunately, I have changed. I don't want to hurt him, I want him to understand what his lies are doing! I've begged for his honesty and realize now that he's never promised it, but I again assumed that if he knew I was begging for honesty he would oblige.
Do I just state the facts? "daughters and I know you've been on a romantic honeymoon with ow and we do not accept your lies any longer. Girls do not wish to hear from you for the time being." Do I try to persuade him? "Can't you see the damage you are causing? Are you proud of this man you've become? Who are you? Our daughters deserve honesty and truth!"
In my self discovery and inner healing, I feel I truly have an understanding of his self hatred and I feel bad for him. I would have tried to help him heal himself and our relationship for my family. I never wanted to lose our marriage. But nothing has changed and he still lies.
So from a WS point of view, why does he lie? And what would be the most effective way of confronting him?
starting D summer 2013
Today she admonished me for having angry feelings.
I think one of the biggest mistakes a WS can make is not having the patience with a BS through the long haul of all the emotions.
I know I had to catch myself a couple times the first two years after d-day with not losing my cool and getting angry.
It requires a concious effort on the WS's part to stay calm, understanding and patient. Maybe if you can explain that to her it will help pull herself in when she feels her anger rising.
My tolerance for stupid shit is getting less and less.
Please help. I'm trying to understand why, after 9+ months, my wife is not consistently remorseful. She has been NC since d-day. We continue in MC. Some days, I can see the remorse. Other times, she is so consumed by her own feelings. Today she admonished me for having angry feelings. I've reached my limit and I posted on SI earlier today that I don't think I can R with someone who is not selfless enough to support me through this. Any advice?
Her getting angry is not good, you do need support and anger is not an emotion that should be shown when you need support as a BS. Now this may not be popular but understand that if she is working through her shit there are going to be days when it consumes her and it is not easy to pull out of that. Those days it may not be that she is not remorseful but that the enormity of her actions have hit her and she needs time to process as well. It's not fair but the WS is growing, changing and learning throughout this process and one of the hardest things I found were the days that my actions hit me and as much as I wanted to be there for my BS I was a useless mess because I was living the pain of what I had done to him and myself. Perhaps talking to her and having her communicate why she gets so caught up in herself will help both of you.
ETA: I am in no way supporting her angry behavior, that is not right no matter what.

No longer together
Do not let others be your reference for who you see in the mirror.
Stop allowing people to hurt you, because you don't love you enough to walk away.

Non-metallic construction won't set off metal-based security systems.
Boot Details
- 100% waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® liner is engineered to keep your feet dry and comfortable - even in extreme conditions
- Full-grain leather can be easily polished and is preferred by those in uniform and on special tactical teams due to its durability and ability to be cleaned quickly
- TERRA FORCE X Lite platform provides lightweight, durable traction, heel-to-toe energy transfer, side support to enhance maneuverability, and protection from arch overwork and fatigue
- Side-zip for easy entry and exit from boot
- Danner TFX® Lite outsole is an oil- and slip-resistant outsole that gives you grip, traction and stability without the weight

Tips for the Perfect Fit
- Measure both feet. If one foot is slightly larger than the other, select a size that fits the larger of the two.
- Consider the type of socks you'll be wearing with your boot. For thicker socks, you may want to select a half size larger than you normally wear.
- When you do receive your boots, we recommend first wearing them indoors for a few hours to ensure they're the right fit.
Free Return Shipping
Rest assured that if the boot you receive doesn't fit correctly, we pay for return shipping back to us. You can order with confidence knowing return shipping is always on us.

Comments about Danner Striker II GTX Side Zip Uniform Boots:
I work in the security industry and everyone I know has had great things to say about Danner boots. I chose to spend the extra money because the quality was supposed to be higher. Unfortunately I am now about to send back my second pair of Striker II GTX Sidezips for the same defect. The grommets on the laces are just cheap plastic and both pairs I have had so far have broken because of that. The pair that I am currently sending back have also busted the zipper on the side zip. It came apart like a cheap children's toy. I am not even slightly satisfied with my purchase and will NOT be buying Danners ever again.

Comments about Danner Striker II GTX Side Zip Uniform Boots:
I bought the Original Striker GTX about 3 years ago. The soles wore out, normal, I work long days on me feet. Well once I decided to replace them Danner decided to discontinue the Striker and replace it with this Striker II. The II pinches my ankle, the laces are too short, the stitching on the sole is coming out, the zipper handle is too small and the glued toe is peeling off. All this and I have only worn them for 3 months. Haven't had a problem with the lace eyelets yet but they are cheap looking. In conclusion; all Danner has to do is bring back the original Striker. So Danner PLEASE bring back the original.

Comments about Danner Striker II GTX Side Zip Uniform Boots:
I've worked in EMS for years and have worn a variety of footwear on the job. I decided to spend a bit more and get these boots because I had heard so many good things about Danner, but I must say, I've been pretty disappointed thus far. I've been through two pairs of this particular model now. When the first pair busted in a matter of months, I thought that perhaps it was a fluke. Sadly, the second pair was no different than the first. On the up side, the quality of leather is great - the leather is still in great shape now. Having the Gore Tex lining is wonderful. I don't think I could ever buy another boot without it. However, the main problem I've come across is the cheap plastic zippers. In both cases, the zippers busted out with average usage. In addition, the treads on the outsoles wear out surprisingly quickly. I had also noticed some of the stitching on the inside of the boots coming apart towards the end. If I choose to purchase Danner boots in the future, I doubt it'd be from this product line.

Comments about Danner Striker II GTX Side Zip Uniform Boots:
Overall, the boots are pretty comfortable, but there are a couple things I dont like. My last pair of boots were similar to these ones and the side zipper broke on one of them. On the ones I have now, the eyelets for the laces keep popping out. I thought the first pair might have been a fluke, but I was wrong. [...]
