I would like to speak with you about a precious pearl, the pearl of great price.Ā Jesus Christ is the greatest, most expensive, most valuable thing in the entire world.
One day Cleopatra was at a place and a person came through selling pearls.Ā These were the two greatest pearls in the world at that time. They were the largest ones and she bought them both. Then she invited Mark Anthony to come down to Egypt and she held a banquet in today's money would cost $400,000 for this one banquet. At the banquet he was seated beside her and she was wearing these pearls on earrings, one from each ear. The pearls were very valuable.Ā In fact each one in today's money would be worth a quarter of a million dollars. That's a lot of money for one pearl.
During the midpoint of the banquet she took one of the pearl earrings off, and that apparently was a sign to the servany.Ā The servant brought her a small container of vinegar and she dropped the pearl into the vinegar and of course it instantly melted. Then she drank the contents. Then she took the other pearl off and another servant came with another little container of vinegar and before she could dropp it in, one of her generals snatched it away from her. Said, "You can't do that. That's such a waste." That's how extravagant she was.
This must've been the type of a pearl that Jesus had in mind here in our parable when Jesus told this story in Matthew 13.Ā A great pearl.
There are many lessons to be learned from this pearl today. We must be willing to sell all we have to purchase the pearl of great price.Ā Now life is short and I want to make a lasting mark on society and I know you do too.Ā You want to do your very best, and don't ever be satisfied with a low outcome of your life.Ā Reach for the stars.Ā Have high goals in your life. Don't just go along every day in the same old doldrums that you did the day before. You kids, you're in school. Get the best grades you can possibly get. Excel, and not just to get an 'a' in your teacher's book but excel to get an 'a' in God's book. Make something out of your life.
Here in this little parable Jesus outlined several secrets of success.
Number one.Ā Have a definite purpose in life.Ā The Greek word for 'merchant' means a traveling wholesaler who is traveling throughout the world to seek the premium products that the world has to offer.Ā To seek the best merchandise to sell. He's looking for the best pearls of value, not because of why he wants them but to have them for his clients.
You know the pearl is valued for its size, its shape and its luster. Those three things make the value of a pearl and so that is what he is looking for. A person without purpose in this life cannot reach happiness. If you're going through life and you say what are you going to do this week, well the same thing I did last week I guess. You've got to have a great purpose in life.ĀĀ Aimlessness produces restlessness and despondency. If you want to be successful you've got to have a goal in your life. The true measure of a man is not how tall he is but how high his ideals are. If you're going to climb you've got to reach for the branches and not the blossoms.Ā I think too many of us are just reaching for the blossoms of life. You reach for the branches and then you can climb higher. Stay on the path that leads to your goal.Ā Following the path of least resistance, which is what oftentimes people do, that's what makes crooked rivers and crooked people. Set a goal in your life. Chart the course and hold yourself to it and you will succeed. Have a purpose. You know having a purpose, God will empower you to fulfill that purpose in your life. God will do that for you.
Did you know that there is enough energy on each acre of land in the United States that when the sun is shining you can melt rocks underneath that soil. You can melt the rocks. So have you ever been walking along and noticed the rocks have melted? No. That energy is there to do it but the energy is not focused on one point.Ā If you focus your powers on one point there is nothing that you can't accomplish with the power of God. You can do it through his power.
The merchant man looked the world over until he found what he was after. Nothing stopped him. He was focused on doing what he was doing.
Number two, in order to be successful in life you have to have high standards. He had the highest standards. The Greek word here indicates that he was seeking goodly pearls. He was seeking the best pearls that money could buy. Seeking the biggest and the best in perfect pearls is good when Jesus is your pearl. You need to seek a relationship with Jesus Christ because successful people have high standards, and the highest standard that you can have is none other than our Savior Jesus.
Number three. If you want to be successful you need to have a sense of value. So many people go out and they say well I bought that I thought was going to be okay, or I married him, or I married her. I thought... Well, you need to have a proper sense of value. You need to have a good judgment and how do you get that. God will give it to you. You need to consult with your partner and God will help you to make proper decisions in life. All too often we conclude that something is valuable simply because so many people are chasing after it to get it. I've got to get me a pair of those boots. I've got to get me one of those electronic devices, because everybody's getting it. I've got to have one. The crowd does not set your value. Your value is set by a high standard. Not the crowd. Keep that in mind. If you follow the crowd their values will become your values.
Now back in 1946 my parents raised chickens. This was to help make the house payments because we didn't have enough money to make the payments. My job back there in Indiana was to haul water to the chickens and to make sure the chickens had enough feed, so before I went to school that's what I did and after school was over, the first thing I did was come home and feed the chickens and refresh their water. We supplemented their food with table scraps.Ā Now you would call it garbage.Ā Today we have garbage disposals. The chickens were our garbage disposal.Ā They composted that stuff and made it into little eggs and people bought them.Ā Those chickens loved those table scraps and I remember so often that I would throw out the scraps. Time after time this happened. A chicken would grab one of those big pieces and go running off and about six others would go following the chicken. They would leave a whole pileĀ right there and go chase after the one that had the scrap. Don't ever have the sense of a chicken. The chicken philosophy of life is to choose failure.
A proper sense of value chooses things, not because of the popularity, but because of true worth. You want to choose something, not because everybody's doing it.
Number four. Have a sacrificial spirit. If you're going to be successful in life you've got to sacrifice a lot of things. You've got to make time in your schedule for what you're doing. You've got to lay everything aside.Ā Cut to the quick. This merchant went home after he saw these pearls and he sold how much of the things that he owned?Ā He sold it all. He sacrificed the whole 9 yards to get what he wanted. You've got to be willing to go to great sacrifices to get what you want.
You know, big pearls are not cheap. The largest pearl in the world is 9.45 inches in diameter. It weighs 14.1 pounds. It was found in 1934 and was found inside of a giant clam and the value today is $60 million. That's quite a thing.Ā A sacrificial spirit means that if you are seeking a true saving relationship with Jesus Christ you are willing to do anything to establish that in your life. You're willing to make time for Bible study by turning off something, shoving aside something that is cluttering up your schedule and having time to pray. Time to have a relationship with God. God's pearl will never cost you less than all you have and you will never hold title to it unless you are willing to give up everything that you have. Why do we hold on so tight to our money? I do not know. Why do we hold on so tight to this world's goods? Why do we give so little of our means when He gave so largely of His?
What I would like for you to do is open your Bible to Matthew 13:45,46. I would like for us to have a paradigm shift in our understanding. I want us to go back to the beginning. Matthew 13:45 says the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for pearls. This does not say the kingdom of heaven is like a pearl. This says the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant. That's different. That's entirely different than what we've been preaching about this whole time. What I want you to see is that this parable has a dual application and this is brought out in Christ's Object Lessons. Sister White says this. Not just me. In this parable we said Jesus is the pearl. Now I want you to think of Jesus as the merchant. Okay? He's the merchant and as we look at it in this way the parable is not a picture of a sinner seeking Christ. It is a picture of Christ seeking the sinner. Because actually, do we go out and seek God? Remember Romans 3:11. There is none that seeketh after God, no not one. And Luke 19:10 says the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which is lost and so the shepherd seeks the sheep.Ā The sheep never seek the shepherd and so if it hasn't dawned on you yet, and you are the pearl that Jesus is seeking.
Now think about that. Wrap your mind around that. You are the pearl of great price that Jesus seeks. Even in our fallen state Jesus sees value in us. You may say well I'm ugly, this is wrong with me, that's wrong with me. Jesus sees value in you.Ā Even in our fallen state we're still of such a great value in the sight of heaven that God gave his only begotten son to seek and to save us. In the Greek the word 'seeking' means to leave one place and come to another place. Jesus left heaven and came down here to this dark old world. Who was he seeking. He's seeking his kids. His children. He's seeking you.
Now you remember several weeks ago we talked about those 33 miners in the sermon illustration. On Wednesday, October 13 they were rescued. There's not one person down in that tomb down there in Chile. And you know how much they spent? Almost $1 million per person. Was it worth it? What do you think? I think so. We would spend $1 million to rescue a miner down in some dark mine. They were the pearls of great price that their country sought. They were pulled from the clutches of certain death. They could not save themselves but their country saved them because it took the resources of the entire country to bring them up.
Did you notice what they were wearing when they stepped out of the rescue capsule?Ā They were given a suit to wear with a harness and everything but over the top of that, what did they have on? A shirt. And that shirt was provided by the Seventh-day Adventist church. To every one of those miners. Almost all of them wore that shirt as they stepped out into the sunshine. On the back of that shirt is a text the Seventh-day Adventist church put on there, Psalm 95:4. I don't know if you've ever read that text in this way but let me quote it to you. It says "in his hand are the depths of the earth." Where are the depths of the earth? In God's hand. Those people wore that shirt and did you notice carefully that as some of them stepped out of the capsule that they had the Adventist Bible in their hand. Did you notice that? Those miners down there in that wretched place came out spiritually renewed. They were. I think our church also ministered to those people on the surface up there. The families. Many of them were fed food by Seventh-day Adventist Christians donating their time and their energy, praying with those people. We need to use opportunities like that. If disaster comes, let's be the first to be involved. Don't you think we ought to be? They were. They did it right. They rescued those pearls.
Let me tell you that Jesus is the seeker and it's we who are lost. We are down in the mine. We are helpless. And despite our location in this old world of sin we are precious in the sight of God.
The natural pearl has its home, where? Where does the pearls exist? In the depths of the sea. Way down on the sea floor the pearl basically begins as a pain in the stomach of the oyster. That's how a pearl gets started. That little grain of sand hurts and it's got to be encapsulated and so the pearl is from a living organism. It comes out of an oyster. That is unlike almost any other jewel in the world today. About every jewel that you have is not alive and never was alive and never came from life. A diamond is basically a human invention. We take a stone we chisel it just right and we get those facets just right. The pearl is not. You are a pearl and you are not from human hands. You are from God. You are not from evolution. You are from God's hands. That's where you are from.
Where does an oyster live? It lives in the unclean dirty depths of the sea. It lives with the scavengers.Ā In the Bible the sea represents people. Like oysters, sinners are taken out of the depths of this unclean, wicked world. Now Adventists don't eat oysters. We don't eat clams because they're unclean and if you think about it, all the poisons in the ocean are heavy metals and where do heavy metals end up? They sink to the bottom and those bottom feeders, including those clams and oysters and that type of stuff, that's where they live, and so we don't eat that type of stuff. Those bottom feeders live there and that's where the pearl comes from is where all that wicked, yucky stuff is on the bottom. That's how far Christ dredges His people up out of the pit from which we were dug.
Another thing about oysters is they're all ugly. Have you ever seen a pretty oyster?Ā Not one thing from our origin is beautiful. Like an oyster diver, Jesus descended into the depths of sin in search of something of eternal value and when he finds it he exposes its beauty. A pearl is covered with a beauty that is not its own.Ā When you might look in the mirror you see your old sinful self, when Jesus looks at you, Jesus sees an object of beauty. Jesus sees a jewel in you. Jesus sees in you his seven cow wife. Jesus sees utmost value when he looks at you. Our highest purpose is to showcase Jesus because somebody said pearls are made to enhance the owner. Well we're the pearls and we're here to enhance Jesus Christ.
Now if you were the only one who ever sinned Jesus would've died for you and paid the price which is all he has. The merchant man gives up everything he has to secure you. To secure you.
Now what is our part? We have a part in salvation.Ā What is the part of the pearl? Well our part provides the irritation.Ā that's our part. Right? We are the gritty scratchy grain of sand and we cut God and God's part is the covering and our part is being willing to be covered after we cut him. God places an expensive covering or robe over us and presto, we become priceless.
Now look at Adam and Eve. Adam hurt God. Adam cut God to his heart. And what was God's response? God covered Adam.Ā When out and killed a sheep and made a covering. Every time you hurt God, what does God do? He covers you. He covers you with his blood. He forgives you. He loves you. He pours on the love. God provided a covering for Adam.
A pearl isn't much. If you hit a pearl with a hammer you end up with a pile of lime-like chalk.Ā It's just dust.Ā A pearl isn't much. It's only the covering that makes the pearl valuable. And that's what makes you valuable is that covering. If you're covered with the robe of the righteousness of Jesus Christ, you're valuable. You're priceless. You are the pearl of great price. In Eden God covered man's nakedness, and at Calvary God covered man's sin. In both cases an innocent lamb died for the guilty.
A pearl is produced as a result of suffering of a living organism and from much suffering an object of beauty and value is formed. And I'm wondering, could it be that when we all get to heaven that those who have suffered the most in this life will be the most valuable up there. As the little grain of sand in the oyster is ultimately clothed with a beauty not of its own so we are covered with the beauty of the righteousness of the character of Jesus Christ and that is priceless. You can't afford it. All you have to give is filthy rags in exchange for the robe and that's all he wants, is your filthy rags and he will give you this covering that will make you a priceless pearl. It will make you into one of Jesus' jewels.Ā Never forget your value.
So Jesus is standing at your heart door knocking and Jesus is looking for pearls. He's looking for this jewel.Ā Jesus loves you because he sees in you a pearl. You are the pearl that he died for. May his death not be in vain. He paid for your covering with his blood.Ā Give your life to Jesus. May He be the thrill of your soul. May he be jewel of your life and may you sparkle in his kingdom.Ā Jesus loves you.

Imperial Sugar to Pay Fines in Deadly Georgia Explosion Case
Imperial Sugar Co. agreed to pay $6 million in fines in a long-negotiated settlement with federal regulators over safety violations found in the wake of a February 2008 explosion in a Georgia plant that killed 14 people.
The Imperial Sugar plant outside Savannah, known for its Dixie Crystals brand, was destroyed in a fire fueled by sugar dust that burned for a week. The Occupational Safety and Health Adminstration cited Imperial Sugar nearly six months later for 108 "willful violations" related to combustible dust at the Port Wentworth, Ga., site and a similar plant in Gramercy, La.
Imperial, one of the largest producers of refined sugar in the U.S., made no admission of liability in the settlement announced Wednesday. But the Sugar Land, Texas, company agreed to pay $4 million in penalties for violations at Port Wentworth and $2 million for violations in Gramercy, and said it would comply with a dozen new safety measures, including a regular safety audit by outside consultants.
Imperial Sugar's chief financial officer, H.P. Mechler, said the company has improved its employee-training program and overhauled its clean-up practices to ensure better control of sugar dust. "I don't think anyone in the industry, including ourselves, were fully aware of the potential of dust as a hazard," Mr. Mechler said.
OSHA officials said the settlement showed the federal government holds companies accountable for protecting workers from the hazards of combustible-dust accumulation, which is a risk in grain silos, furniture plants and thousands of other sites. "These are well recognized hazards and have been for decades," said Jordan Barab, OSHA deputy assistant secretary. "This was a terribly tragic and completely preventable tragedy."
The Imperial blast prompted congressional hearings and raised questions about how effectively OSHA, manufacturers and local officials police the risk of dust explosions. In spite of renewed calls for regulatory measures, OSHA's Mr. Barab said it will be years before the agency settles on a new combustible-dust standard, a key regulatory measure recommended by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, a separate government agency.
The House passed legislation two years ago that would force OSHA to quickly issue rules regulating combustible industrial dust, but the proposal stalled in the Senate. Rep. John Barrow (D., Ga.) said Wednesday that he hoped the settlement would be a "call to action" and prompt the Senate to act quickly.
Imperial Sugar still faces 36 civil lawsuits, including suits by families of those killed and some of the 40 people injured, as well as a handful of shareholder suits, according to its most recent quarterly results.
The explosion had a dramatic impact on Imperial's business as it took one of the company's two refining plants offline for 18 months. The new plant is still ramping up production, and nearing capacity of six million pounds a day, Mr. Mechler said.
Imperial Sugar shares rose 5.6%, or 57 cents, to $10.78 at 4 p.m. Wednesday in Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading.

How do I remove/hide it? It's the one at the bottom with forum topics.
You want to edit your theme and remove:

You will probably find the code in your sidebar.php, open with a text editor like notepad to edit then reupload.
Or if you dont like the idea of editing the theme you can make a transparent rss.png and upload it overwriting the current one.
Hope this helps
Kind of related to this, how do I edit the RSS widget to pick up the feeds favicon instead of the RSS image?
The easiest way is to download the feeds favicon, edit it so its the same size as the current rss image and when saving it choose the same file type as the current rss image and file name.
Then upload it overwriting the origional rss image with your new one.
If you don't want to mess with the default-widgets.php and have to edit it every single time you upgrade your WordPress installation, you can add these lines to your theme's css file:
a.rsswidget img {
display: none;
and the little RSS icon will be gone forever! :-)
Audiowave's advice worked a treat!

What are the Different Types of Denture?
Dentures are false teeth that are usually not implanted permanently, although that is becoming more popular. Typically, the dentures are completely removable, and can be for a small number of teeth or for all of them.
Which one is suited to me?
Denture types will vary, but the three main types are:
- Complete denture – these are removable dentures that are replacements for all of the teeth.
- Flexible denture – this type is intended to replace a section of teeth close together, and can be removed easily.
- Precision attachments – this is a type of dental prosthesis that can be attached to a crown and can also be removed.
- Flipper type of denture – this is a removable denture that is used to replace a single missing tooth.
Implant supported denture in Manila Philippines means that the dentures are more permanently embedded and it is not required to remove them at night to sleep. Today's implants are used to concrete in the denture, missing tooth or for other purposes, but the difference is that it can be a permanent solution.
Precision attachments are the latest technique to help stabilize dentures. The male part is permanently fixed to the crown inside the mouth, while the female or bridge portion, actually fits inside of the male. This is a meeting ground between implants and dentures, as the patient is able to have the comfort and stability of an implant, but still be able to remove the teeth, as with dentures. This is the perfect solution for missing front teeth, and is one of the most cost effective methods for replacing them.

The Illusion Of Things
Will someone please explain why the circus has become a favorite venue for fictional love stories? The sleeper best seller of 2007 was Sara Gruen's "Water for Elephants," a menagerie-tent romance between a circus veterinarian and an equestrian performer. Prior to that, Katherine Dunn's "Geek Love" (1989), with its devoted cult following, held the center ring for circus-themed literature. But "Water for Elephants" was no cult phenomenon: The book sold in the millions and then returned to the best-seller list earlier this year as its film adaptation went to theaters. Now in the whooshing slipstream of the book's and movie's popular success comes Erin Morgenstern's vaporous fairy tale, "The Night Circus" (Doubleday, 387 pages, $26.95).
This circus, created in 1886 by wealthy impresario and knife-thrower Chandresh Christophe Lefèvre, is called Le Cirque des Rêves, the Circus of Dreams. It appears in cities unadvertised and is open exclusively at night. To its visitors, the tents seem innumerable and the performances otherworldly; aficionados, called Revêurs, give their lives to following it and "ache for it when it is absent."
The visitors are not being extravagant when they say that the circus is magical. Two of its employees, Celia Bowen and Marco Alisdair, were raised by powerful but antagonistic magicians. Both have been apprenticed in the arts of enchantment and are compelled to compete against each other in a decades-long contest of sorcery. The circus is the venue for their dueling spells.
So long as Ms. Morgenstern keeps the secrets behind this competition shrouded in mystery, "The Night Circus" remains intriguing. But eventually the inevitable romance between Celia and Marco reveals itself in a bundle of clichés that are as anticlimactic as a magician explaining an illusion: "The air between them is electric"; "the sound of his name on her tongue is even more intoxicating than he had imagined"; "the future is never set in stone." I confess to certain cantankerous biases—it's hard to imagine a place less romantic than the circus—but all I can see behind this novel's smoke and mirrors is an attempt to capitalize on one of the odder fictional fads in recent memory. Hey, it might work. As somebody once observed, a sucker's born every minute.
It's impossible to guess the inspiration for Ali Smith's whimsical and ingenious novel "There But For The" (Pantheon, 236 pages, $25). Kafka? Monty Python? During a dinner party in Greenwich, in southeast London, a guest named Miles Garth locks himself in a spare bedroom and refuses to come out. For weeks. His mortified hostess delivers food through a window (the bedroom luckily has a bathroom attached), but she also solicits Miles's acquaintances to persuade him to leave. The novel is told from the perspectives of four people connected by the "absent presence" in the bedroom.
In part, "There But For The" means to gently satirize the British middle class. Greenwich is shown as a place of smug and tranquil affluence, and Miles's stunt is a disruption that causes its denizens to re-examine their lives. As his harried hostess says with accidental lyricism: "It is strange having a stranger in the house with you all the time. It makes you strangely self-aware, strange to yourself."
The novel's main attractions, though, are the witty stream-of-consciousness voices, the best of which is from a 10-year-old named Brooke, who becomes Miles's intermediary to the outside world. Brooke is learning about life and language simultaneously, and her internal monologue, like this one regarding the Greenwich Royal Observatory, is chockablock with insight and wordplay: "Is the Prime in Prime Meridian the same Prime as the Prime in Prime Minister? The election of the new government is next month so all the news and papers are about who looks best on the TV. All the candidates say that they are the man who will win. Even so, nobody knows who will win. The future can't be seen, not even at an Observatory. Observe a Tory!"
Along with a large dose of such puns, the novel asks you to swallow the implausible notion that Miles wouldn't be forcibly removed from the house. But the reward for your complicity is a delightfully unclassifiable reading experience.
A burdensome character of another sort is at the heart of Ben Lerner's "Leaving the Atocha Station" (Coffee House Press, 181 pages, $15). Adam Grant, the novel's rogue narrator, is a Kansas native in Madrid on a research fellowship, but he spends most of his time getting high, writing obscure poetry and trolling for sympathy by lying to everyone he meets. (His chef d'ouevre is the bogus claim that his mother is dead.) Adam should be insufferable company, but Mr. Lerner, whose previous books are poetry collections, writes so candidly and exquisitely about Adam's falseness that the character comes to seem lovably errant.
Adam's hope is to present himself in "the flattering light of the subjunctive"—to make himself seem mysterious and elusive by obfuscating his past and his real personality. He understands Spanish perfectly well but decides that he'll seem more interesting if he acts as if he doesn't: One relationship, he says, "largely depended on me never becoming fluent, on my having an excuse to speak in enigmatic fragments or koans." How long, Adam wonders, could he "remain in Madrid without crossing whatever invisible threshold of proficiency would render me devoid of interest"?
But reality obtrudes on Adam's posturing "potentiality." First comes the 2004 terrorist bombings at the Atocha train station; second, he gains the faith and friendship of a Spanish writer and translator named Teresa, a woman far better than Adam deserves. (She asks him: "When are you going to stop pretending that you're only pretending to be a poet?") "Leaving the Atocha Station" is a marvelous novel, not least because of the magical way that it reverses the postmodernist spell, transmuting a fraudulent figure into a fully dimensional and compelling character.

CHICAGO (September 16, 2013)--Almost 1 in 10 U.S. high school seniors has engaged in recent extreme binge drinking, which means downing at least 10 drinks in a row, and the rate barely budged over six years, a new report says.
Binge drinking at least five in a row has mostly declined in recent years among teens, but researchers say the trend for more extreme drinking is worrisome.
The most extreme level is 15 or more drinks in a row.
That rate was almost 6 percent and it didn't change from 2005 to 2011.
The report is an analysis of survey results that the University of Michigan does for the National Institute on Drug Abuse and is based on classroom questionnaires given to more than 16,000 high school seniors.
The report was published online Monday in JAMA Pediatrics.

Released: Jun 01st, 2001
Running Time: 82
Director: Steve Drake
Company: Intimate Details
Cast: Dane Knight, Nicole Moore, Tina Toy, Nikki Steele, Tom Seiko, Valentino (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
For Nicole Moore - and to a lesser extent, Nikki Steele - fans.
It's not just a matter of the fact that a viewer would really, really have to like veteran star Nicole Moore to find this tape worth keeping; the action suffers from a strange, directionless form of ennui that the title concept, "A Taste Of..." just doesn't ameliorate.
Nicole is beautiful enough, and perhaps her wandering, after bath, to a strip club where she has a 69 with Tina Toy is meant as a "chance encounter," but add up all the "chance encounters" in this tape - including her dreams (and eventual realization) of "perfect lover" Valentino - and the viewer will get weirded out.

No, Lucia Whalen Should Not Be Invited to the Picnic-Table Summit
She behaved as any good citizen should have. Should we throw her a ticker-tape parade?
Tonight, when President Obama sits down at the White House picnic table for a much-anticipated beer with Henry Louis Gates Jr. and James Crowley, the woman who set Gatesgate in motion with her 911 call, Lucia Whalen, will be somewhere else. This, we're being told today, is an unconscionable and perhaps sexist slap in the face. Whalen's lawyer, Wendy Murphy, started it off yesterday at Whalen's press conference. "The one person whose actions have been exemplary will be at work tomorrow in Cambridge," she said. "I don't know maybe it's a guy thing." This morning, multiple columnists echoed that sentiment. The Daily News' Michael Daly says that Whalen "sure sounds like someone who belongs at the picnic table," for she "is the one person in the incident whom nobody can fault." Politico's Roger Simon laments, "In reality, only Whalen ... acted responsibly from beginning to end in this whole affair. And she doesn't even get a free drink out of it."
You can almost hear the voice from that McCain ad: How disrespectful! But before we make a martyr out of
Saint Whalen, let's break down exactly why this picnic-table summit is taking place at all. Superficially, it's because Obama wants to heal the conflict between Gates and Crowley, which became his responsibility when he reignited the controversy with his "stupidly" comment. In reality, it's a public-relations move that allows Obama to make amends for taking sides against the police, and, he hopes, keeps intact his image as a black politician who rises above racial politics. Here's what the meeting is not: a reunion. How about that old concerned neighbor who first alerted Whalen to the suspected break-in? Let's invite her, too. Then maybe Gates's driver, and the 911 operator, and the police dispatcher, and the other officers on the scene. Maybe once all the players arrive on the South Lawn, they can reenact the whole thing!
Yes, Whalen was initially unjustly vilified by some, and we now know that she acted completely responsibly throughout. She thought there was a burglary, and she called 911. Props to her for looking out for her neighbors, and for not being a racist. But this kind of thing happens every day. Daly, Simon, and Murphy seem to think that Whalen should be invited to the picnic-table summit as a reward for doing what they admit was the responsibility of any good citizen. But good citizens shouldn't need a reward or an incentive to do the right thing.

The thyroid is a gland of internal secretion whose chief function, so far as is known, is the elaboration and storage of its own peculiar hormone, namely, thyroglobulin, or the amino acid thyroxin contained therein. Originally it was a gland taking part in digestion. In the course of evolutionary changes, it has lost its connection with the alimentary tract. As Means1 aptly said, "For a rôle in digestion it has substituted a rôle in growth and metabolism." To fulfil these functions, it is endowed with tremendous capacities for increasing or decreasing its activities, manifested by changes in size, blood supply, microscopic appearance and hormone content. In man the thyroid attains its relative maximum size just prior to puberty, corresponding to the time of maximum load on the organ from factors of growth and development. Simple colloid goiter, so common at this age, is the clinical manifestation of this physiologic

Film to honor Black history
Published: Tuesday, February 1, 2011 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 31, 2011 at 8:22 p.m.
In honor of Black History Month, the Social Justice/Outreach Film Series of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and the Henderson County Human Relations Council are co-sponsoring the film "Four Little Girls."
The film will be shown at 6 p.m. in the Kaplan Auditorium at the Hendersonville Public Library on Thursday, Feb. 17.
This feature-length documentary runs one hour and 40 minutes and will be followed by discussion.
Director Spike Lee directs this 1997 feature-length documentary telling the story of the 1963 bombing of a Birmingham, Alabama African-American church — an event that took the lives of four young girls and, according to Walter Cronkite, became the pivotal moment in the civil rights struggle.
Lee's film examines the crime and its perpetrators as well as the four young victims (as described by family and friends).
It includes interviews with civil rights activists and journalists and shows archival footage never before seen. Lee, striving for historical accuracy, followed many clues and leads until he had answers to puzzling questions. He tells this epochal story with respect and truth.
Forty-eight years after this event, this film helps us all to reflect and understand more deeply the poignant personal stories of these girls and their families as well as the cultural, political and emotional times in which the tragedy occurred.
The film reminds us, lest we forget, or informs us, if we were too young to remember.
We are looking for people who were active/involved in the civil rights struggle at that time — to share their thoughts with us during the discussion following the film. If you know of someone, call Suzy Camp-Goodman at 828-595-4202. There is no fee to attend. Bring friends and neighbors.

Cast: Felix Vicious, Kimberly Kane, Kirsten Price, Austyn Moore, Carmen Luvana, Nicole Scott, Julie Night, Angela Stone, Alisa Knight, Jenna Haze
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Other than having a way too intrusive soundtrack, this is an excellent all-girl feature from vet director Wesley Emerson. Chemistry galore runs through the scenes, and lots of great toy use is on display.
Carmen Luvana and Austyn Moore appear together in only one scene, but it's not as hot as when Luvana appears poolside with squirter Angela Stone and hot brunette Alisa Knight. All of the girls cum over and over, with Stone providing the waterworks. It's definitely memorable with Luvana commanding the other girls to "tear her shit up". Awesome.

Hello all, first post and I'm positive it won't be my last lol. I've been working with WordPress for over a year as a writer on a few sites, and recently decided to setup my own and give it a go. I purchased several domain names and set sites up from scratch with little problem, but am having a hard time installing a "site" I purchased from someone on my hosting.
I was sent a backup .zip file and a sql database file and basically told to install them without much further direction. I had some issues with the nameserver and a few other things, got those worked out on my own but am still stuck on the actual install. I can get the site up, but it basically seems to install it as a new site although it loads unapproved/approved comments from his site but not his actual posts. The site itself looks nothing like it did on his end and as I'm missing content I know I've screwed up badly somewhere.
I've done all I can think of as far as making sure to change the information in the setup file, etc.. I did import the database he gave me through myphpadmin, but get an error about wp_commentmeta and something about a duplicate entry '1' for key 1. Godaddy hasn't been a ton of help, nor the seller due to a bit of a language/logic barrier and the fact that I've never done this before lol. Any help would be appreciated, and I apologize if I got any of the terminology wrong still learning : )

Understanding the "why" of smart beta
By: Rolf Agather, Managing Director of Research
The world of smart beta indexes has evolved to the point where "why" has replaced "what" as the central question on the minds of industry players and watchers. The "what" question has been largely answered, as global asset managers now have a robust and varied toolbox of smart beta indexes at their disposal. As asset owners and consultants increase their use of smart beta indexes, the "why" questions has taken center stage. What are the primary reasons investors give for using smart beta indexes? And why in many cases are they allocating a rapidly increasing portion of their investment portfolio to index-based approaches?
Index IDEA: Canadian asset owner interest in smart beta on the rise
FTSE Russell recently asked 250 of the largest institutional investors across North America, Europe and Asia (14% of which were based in Canada) with more than $2 trillion in invested assets for their opinion on "smart beta" indexes and investment strategies based on them. For purposes of its annual survey, FTSE Russell defines a "smart beta" index as a market index which is not traditionally market cap-weighted, but rather built on other approaches such as alternative weighting, selecting for single factors or combining multiple investment factors.

I write a free software defined radio application, SdrDx. Qt 4, under Windows, limits audio sample rates to 48 kHz(!); I need a minimum of 192 kHz. After trying for over a year to get the QT people to move on this -- to the point of finding the offending hard limit in their source code and pointing it out to them -- I've given up trying to get them to fix this. So, unless I can find something that will work, I am about to close my windows branch. The Mac branch samples just fine up to 192 khz, so that's ok... sadly, it'll be something that I will conditionally compile in for Windows branch only. Anyone have any pointers as to anything that will work for XP and up, within the Qt environment?
At this point, even a pointer to a raw Microsoft sound card API known to be fast might be helpful. Maybe I could build an external program that grabs sound and messages it over TCP to me. Something. Anything. I'm ready to pull my hair out.

Despite what Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz wants you to think, New York is actually the religious capital of America, Raphael Magarik argues.
A new Pew study shows that fewer Americans identify as Christian and more have no religion at all. Jane Eisner asks what we can learn from these dramatic findings, which echo trends seen in Pew's landmark study of Jews.
The Pew Research Center's newly released 2014 U.S. Religious Landscape Study offers a trove of data on American Jews based on interviews with 35,071 American adults, 847 of whom identified their faith as Jewish. Here are some of the more interesting findings about the Jews.
Music was once a way Jewish denominations distinguished themselves from one another. Now it is breaking down the walls between them, as Jenna Weissman Joselit explains.
Even as Israel has welcomed immigrants since its founding — its Law of Return guarantees citizenship for immigrating Jews — the country is starting to make room for non-Jews who come in search of a livelihood.
Reuven Rivlin, who drew criticism before becoming Israel's president for his broadsides against non-Orthodox Jewish streams, told a group of Conservative Jews that Jews are "one big family."
Former Israeli President Shimon Peres met with Pope Francis at the Vatican and proposed a "U.N. of religions" to fight terrorism.
"I was going through a quote-unquote midlife crisis to some extent," says documentary filmmaker Steven Bram, whose spiritual journey is the focus of new documentary "Kabbalah Me," which he co-directed.
Jews scored the highest on a new Pew study of how Americans feel about religious groups. Evangelical Christians show a particular affinity to the Tribe — although the feeling ain't mutual.
Three recent books promise to shock those who believe that the Bible is a record of words spoken by God: They provide evidence that the holy book is a product of many people.

#21250 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)
Make Remote User tests more flexible
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Testing framework
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
I recently had to implement my own middleware with a custom HTTP header, not REMOTE_USER, like:
from django.contrib.auth.middleware import RemoteUserMiddleware class MyRemoteUserMiddleware(RemoteUserMiddleware): header = 'MY_HTTP_AUTHUSER'
This is perfect, but then I needed to test my code, so my first idea was to inherit from Django tests overriding my middleware config (I don't know if it's a bad idea) like:
from django.contrib.auth.tests import RemoteUserTest class MyRemoteUserTest(RemoteUserTest): middleware = 'path.to.MyRemoteUserMiddleware'
since it would save me to write a lot of code.
The problem is that all tests in such module ( https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/auth/tests/test_remote_user.py ) are dependent for REMOTE_USER, because of many REMOTE_USER keywords are passed to self.client.get() and I was forced to duplicate all the code simply changing REMOTE_USER keyword for my header.
I think it would be great if it could be more flexible.
I was thinking about something like:
from django.contrib.auth.tests import RemoteUserTest class MyRemoteUserTest(RemoteUserTest): middleware = 'path.to.MyRemoteUserMiddleware' header = 'MY_HTTP_AUTHUSER'
and then changing:
response = self.client.get('/remote_user/', REMOTE_USER=None)
response = self.client.get('/remote_user/', **{self.header: None})
in all calls.
Or maybe instantiate the middleware (I don't know if it's possible) and getting its self.header.
It would make a lot of easier to implement tests (without duplicating code) when is needed to change the header for the Remote User middleware.
If it were accepted I could code the patch myself.

I would say that our tests probably shouldn't be considered a stable API that you can re-use, but if cleaning things up by making them more DRY has the benefit of allowing you to use them and you are willing to submit a patch, it seems ok.

They will school together quite a bit while as fry, particularly if a big human appears and stares at them. :) As they get older, they spread out more, but will carry on some of the schooling behavior. Once they reach maturity, they only clump together when they perceive danger or if they're trying to avoid a mating male.
The school caught my eye because they were so close together. More so than most of the minnow schools. I swept up some of the school in a net and took a look. It may be wishful thinking on my part, but they seemed to have a slightly deeper body than the minnows do and since all were of the dark variety, I'm hoping they are tilapia. I putt the fish I caught in one of my growbed tanks, where I already have some minnow fry but no bigger fish nor crawdads.
I have 4 tilapia in another growbed, but have not seen a sign of a fry in there. When I bought my fish I put 5 of the biggest in that growbed and the rest in the main tank. I lost one of them a week or so ago. Those fish are about 5 or 6 inches long now. I figured that would be where the first breeding activity would occur.
What type of tilapia do you have? Nile fry are a silvery color...rather nondescript for the first month. They grow about 1"/month, and start to show stripes color in the 2nd month.
Also, what is your PH? Tilapia breed best at around 68, with temps in the low to mid-80s, so this is a happy time of year for tilapia breeding.
My supplier said they were Niles. pH this morning at dawn shwed 7.4 on the high range and 7.6 on the low range test.
I looked again yesterday in the growbed with the 4 tilapia. No sign of any fry. They could be all the same sex as far as I know.
I'm still not sure if the little silver fry are tilapia or not as I have not seen them since I put them under my growbeds. On the other hand, I do know at least some of my tilapia are successfully breeding as i found a baby about the size of my thumbnail in my pool skimmer basket. Obvious stripes. It now resides in another growbed that has a bunch of mosquito larvae. I also put in some minnow eggs in that growbed so that fish has plenty to eat and those mosquitoes will soon be gone.
