God's Hiding Face
Psalm 13 opens out in a a fear of God hiding his face during King David being chased by his enemies. Has God forgotten us? Many times I have felt this. As my son gone through his surgeries and his struggles not of his own making, I am left wondering about God. Yes, God has given us the very breath and the beauty of life. Yet, I see the pain the taunts give him. I can see the fear he has about his future even at 6 years old. He has been given the gift of being gifted socially. He light up a room. Still, I feel the enemies chasing him. Those jealous of the opportunities he has had to be on TV. Those parents who would like their kids to ride in the Lilac Parade. Those parents can't see the struggle of his condition. He works hard for a little guy. I wish him more of God's presence to make it through the day. He already wants to marry a little classmate and she him. It is cute and her love for my son moves me to see God's face in the details we ignore.
Smaller details opens out into an interesting idea. Smaller to whom. In the beauty of a little girl's love for my son in her letter and her open heart, we are charmed and say such little thing floats as a small detail, but to the little girl and to my boy, this note is not small or little. To God, it opens out as large as my little boy's heart, which is a large as the universe. God comes to us and it is our non-attention that makes God's face hidden. Psalm 13, even in the very fact of being recorded, reveals the God hidden remains the God present, for God remains in a little Girl's not of love, even as we search for comfort in the upcoming medical trip. God remains in details we ignore and in details we think are small. God's presence in the flight of sparrow, in the caress of a mother, in my boy's joy in splashing his papa with water on a hot day. Only a fool would can these moments small for where God walks, the ground it holy and when Jesus choose to walk with us the ground became Holy. I know this truth in holding my wife on her birthday, in wrestling with my son, in wrestling with my God during the time of medical issues.
God remains with us, and none of the moments with God are anything but small. For when God is present, the whole of universe opens out in love.

Psalm 11, Justice and the Silence of Christians
I recently saw a Ted Talk by a social science team, about how people respond to a rigged game of monopoly. The researcher looked at how privilege effects us. In this version of Monopoly, two players we assigned different roles. The game was like normal monopoly accept that one player got to roll more dice and collect more money when they passed Go. In other words, they got more advantage and privilege to the point they could not lose.
While they got this privilege simply by the literal flip of a coin or by randomness, they started to think of themselves as better players than the one on a weaker position. The Rich were better than the Poor. The taunted the weaker player and then when asked to evaluate the game, they pointed to the superior play. Their built in advantages factored little in their own evaluation of their play, even though that was the single most important reason for their success. They also show less and less concern for the other player as their dominance in the game grew. The became more belligerent to poor player, even if their advantage came from nothing more than a flip of a coin. In other words they turn to the sin of pride and swam in it as pig in muck. The social science team could have saved time as the Biblical wisdom on the sin of pride beats them to their conclusions.
The parallels to current reality as frightening and can explain the Psalm 9 in tying the oppression of the poor to evil. Pride makes us blind to the gifts we have been given and makes us think we are the authors of our own glory. We are the job creators and we think we should be treated with what is akin to reverence. Yes, we still love the original sin and think of ourselves as God. Those who can't make it as simply moochers, looters or losers. God's way, of course, is rejected in such a world. When we think that we are the cause of our success and not a gift from God, we start to act as the player with all the advantages without see them. We think it is our own efforts which made us and we grow in pride.
When we can see past our nose and discover the pain of the poor, we start to demand justice like Psalm 9. Then after a wait and look at history, we see nothing changes. Many times those who were oppressed rise up from their shackles, only to become the next generation of oppressors. The slaves of Egypt become the oppressors the minor prophets wail against in disgust. We then arrive at Psalm 10. Why has not God acted? Why do the evil doers continue to oppress.
Psalm 10 opens out into a dilemma. Psalm 9 tied evil to the oppression of the poor and calls on God to act on behave of the poor. Psalm 10 prays in what seems to be the response. God has not yet acted against the evildoers and their oppression of the poor. The prayer pleads for God not to hide his face in the face of such injustice. God seems silent and the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and we start to hold them in disdain for their poverty.
Yet, God did act and it should frighten us. When God became man, we dwelt with us and he chose to live with the poor and to be poor. Jesus was homeless, even though he could have had a Park Avenue address. He chose to walk with the poor. The Incarnation was God's answer to those who viewed their success as theirs and not a gift to be use to love God and love others. Through out the Gospel, Jesus says the poor and how we will be oppressed will be answered. The question for us followers of Christ. Do we join the saints of the past and call on at the very least, the closing of the divide between rich or poor. For to side with the poor is the be biblical.

Sing a New Song of Justice... Psalm 9
Psalm 9 chants a song of liberation. It champions the poor over those who seek to oppress them. It, surveying the evils of injustice polis around King David, calls on God to act against the evil doers in favor of the weak. God does stand with the poor, as when Jesus choose to be the poor in his incarnation. He choose to be without home, without bed, and without respect. From rumors of being a bastard child of an illicit affair with a roman soldier to his death on cross like a common criminal, Jesus reveals the heart of God toward those people we would rather avoid and view with suspect. We avoid the poor. God calls the poor friends and more of his chosen twelve come from the ranks of the poor. Psalm 9 sings of this heart of God for the marginalized.
Psalm 9 introduces the theme of injustice that run through the Tanak, the Gospels, and the whole of the New Testament. Moses set the poor slaves from capitative and God made them his own. King David calls on God to punish the evil to the poor in his poetry. In Gospels, God does act and we should be relieved. God chooses to be with the poor. He could have been born in the palaces of the wealthy. He could be like Caesar and been the head of an Army, prick justice by the cut of sword. But God chooses to be with the poor as one of the poor. This is good news because if we honestly look at who the poor, we can see who they really are. They have no resources but those given to them. They are dependent on others for their very living. They bring nothing in to the world and are left with nothing.
When we consider who the poor are … in our own moments of truth in the middle of a hail storm of fears, we have to realize that we are too the poor. All our gifts of warm houses, loving family, of good health, wealth in our bank accounts are nothing more than gifts from God. They could evaporate in the bright sun of time as they will. It may be a supernova of a moment when all our gifts explode into nothingness or in the slow craving of our strength through the course of the rive of time. The truth of being poor floats over our heads ready to burst at anytime. We are born from the dust of stars and we will return to dust in the darkness of a grave. All we are comes not from our labors, but from the kindness of Gods heart. We are called to use these gifts to love God and love others. When we lie to ourselves and think that we deserve or worse earned our gifts, we do all sort of nasty oppression. We are all not above the thinking of what about me.
Psalm 9 should frighten us if we are honest. God being called to avenge the oppression of the poor we are all guilty of. God does answer the call, but he answers with his own body. It is this bloody hand, bloodied by the very oppression we demand God avenge, which is offered us. Our hope to transcend the oppression is the cross.
I know this all to well as I soon will be dependent on the healing knife of a doctor. I will entrust my son to a man and his team I barely know. But that is the truth of life. We are always dependent on God.
Psalm 9 champions the poor against the evils of oppression. Up to now the psalms had some universal themes as well as personal cares. God being the champion of those who have faith in him and a call for justice for personal enemies. Here in Psalm 9 comes the social dimensions. Evil will oppress the poor and again the judgement which King David calls God to deliver only calls for the evil to be returned. Rather than calling for torture of the evil doer, David calls them to suffer the pain they themselves called Psalm 9 makes us aware of the plight of the poor and how oppression of the poor has no room in the Kingdom of God.
Then, in the Gospel, God takes the punishment into himself and offers us love. When we look for justice we find love.

Peering into the Heavens - Psalm 8
God became fully man. The simple and profound belief of Christians reveals the mystery in God's full Glory. Yes, God will be with my son as they rid once more his body of a tumor. Yes, God arises as Emmanuel in our daily lives and cares deeply about our faith. As we grow to understand the vastness of Universe and our small space of it, I grow more to love Psalm 8 and Jesus. The whole psalm speaks of the glory of God and how we share this glory not our of some ability, rather out of God's grace. Growing up, we use to play the parlor game of finding the reason for man's place in the world, though we falsely assumed it was one of power based on out superiority to the other animals. It was our reason and rationality. We were smarter. Books were written touting out thumb or our language. Yet, the Psalm 8 makes a clear case for our place being straight from God. God became man and dwelled with us, and because of Jesus and the Incarnation we are given love and grace despite the fact of our smallness in the world.

Psalm 7 & God's love
Yet, Psalmist opens out in dark plains of his fears and outrage to the possibility that he too might be guilty of the crimes he prods God to avenge. If I have done these things, then let me suffer like my enemies. We Christians understand that we are all stained by our the shopping list of violence catalogued in Psalm 7. So are all to expect God's judgement as the Psalm 7 demands of God. Violence without end? Where is the peace that knows no end come in? Context opens the door and lets us free ourselves from the punishing dark room where we protest, "them, God, get them and not me."
King David is being pursued to be killed and he must take flight from those enemies that wish to dry his moving blood. Psalm 7, his poem of pleading for God's help does show he is aware of his own failings. How many of us want God to take vengeance on our enemies and yet don't consider that we too are the pursuer as well as the victim? The King David asks God to take his vengeance on King David's enemies. He asks God for their own violence be turned on them. That they fall into the pit they dig, in others words, to take the effects of their actions upon themselves. If the loved God and others, then would God's judgement be the return of Love to them?
For Christians, God does allow the judgement of David, but in his steadfast love, he takes on the cross. God in Jesus allows the violence of man onto to his person and nailed to the cross. God takes our violence and returns it to us so we can see what King David glimpses. When we see the cross, we should see that we are violent and like a mirror, we can choose life. We can finally take refuge in God and God grants us the ability to love, love God and love others. We find relief from the persecutors in our lives and the ones living within our own skin. God has pronounced judgement in the forgiveness of sin and asks us to return to him. That is the only miracle I need in my life. My God bless my son and my wife. May the Lord who is always with me love me even in this dark time?
Psalm 7
Plea for Help against Persecutors
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjaminite.
1 O Lord my God, in you I take refuge;
save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,
2 or like a lion they will tear me apart;
they will drag me away, with no one to rescue.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this,
if there is wrong in my hands,
4 if I have repaid my ally with harm
or plundered my foe without cause,
5 then let the enemy pursue and overtake me,
trample my life to the ground,
and lay my soul in the dust.Selah

he has bent and strung his bow;
13 he has prepared his deadly weapons,
making his arrows fiery shafts.
14 See how they conceive evil,
and are pregnant with mischief,
and bring forth lies.
15 They make a pit, digging it out,
and fall into the hole that they have made.
16 Their mischief returns upon their own heads,
and on their own heads their violence descends.

HANOVER – The conservation commission will meet Wednesday night to decide on what areas will be included under a vote to allow expanded bow hunting.Bow hunting of deer has been allowed since 2006 on two conservation areas known as the Clark Bog parcel and the Summer Street parcel off King Street.Town Conservation Agent Amy Walkey said the commission voted Jan. 15 to expand bow hunting to include additional conservation areas and add other species,The hunting is subject to state Department of Fisheries and Wildlife regulations, which establish hunting seasons for specific species, prohibit arrows from being released within 150 feet of any state highway or hard-surfaced road, and prohibit bow hunting within 500 feet of any dwelling or in-use building unless authorized by the owner or occupant.Hunting would not be allowed in active-recreation areas such as Luddam's Ford and Forge Pond Park.A map showing Hanover conservation parcels that could sustain hunting under the state regulations is available for review at the conservation office in town hall.They include areas such as the Colby-Phillips land, the fireworks site, the Merry property (behind the fire museum on Broadway), the Pine Island trails and the Indian Head/Riverside land. Those areas have numerous walking trails that are used year-round.Tonight's commission meeting is set for 6:30 in the second-floor meeting room at town hall, 550 Hanover St.For more information, call the conservation office at 781-826-6505.READ MORE about this issue.

A great morning on Hog Island Sunday -- warm temperatures and a beautiful spot to wander around. We had 32 birders and 59 bird species!!
The list of birds is at the end of this email. There were two groups so not each group saw all of these species, but I hope everyone saw most of them. One of the birding highlights for our group was the great look at the Peregrine Falcon that zoomed directly in front of us and then perched on a pine limb so we could get great looks through the scopes. Shirley enjoyed seeing the Brown-headed Nuthatches too! A cute bird…and so busy!
We saw butterflies: Cabbage white, clouded and orange sulfur, buckeye, checkered skipper, variegated frit, monarch, and pearl crescent. Pretty good for November!
Many thanks to Brian Taber and Bill Williams who led the groups around. Everyone appreciated the spotting scopes you brought.

Join the Williamsburg Bird Club for a Sunday field trip in November to Hog Island. We can only access this prime birding location on Sunday, due to hunting seasons this time of year. We will be led by Brian Taber through some super marsh, woodland and field habitat known for an exciting variety of birds and critters!
Name Hog Island doesn't sound enticing? Try this. Join us on a free cruise departing from a historic location on a slow boat to Scotland (Jamestown ferry)! Then, en route, we'll be makin' Bacon (or at least his castle) on a lovely distant shore drive to our destination! There, you won't want to miss this one!!
Actually, without any hype the exceptional variety of birds we can expect to see there are reason enough to join us. For those who would like to carpool and caravan, we will depart from Colony Square Shopping Center (south of intersection of Jamestown Road and 199) at 7:00 a.m. Sunday, November 20. For those who prefer to meet us there, we plan to be at the entrance to the Surry Nuclear Power Plant, which is the entrance to the Hog Island Wildlife Reserve, at about 8:00 a.m. Please bring photo ID for entrance to the Reserve and note that a cursory car search for security can be expected and is in the interest of safety while visiting this site.
This should be a great day's birding and we hope you will join us. For any additional info needed please contact Geoff Giles.
The Williamsburg Bird Club and Hampton Roads Bird Club will join forces this Saturday for a fun event for habitat conservation -- a bird survey and beach/road cleanup at Bethel Beach and New Point Comfort Natural Area Preserves in Mathews County. Advanced registration is required!
The Western Shore Marshes Important Bird Area has the largest concentration of saltmarsh habitat in the lower Chesapeake Bay and the largest in Virginia outside the Eastern Shore. These 12,590 acres are spread out over York, Gloucester and Mathews counties as well as in the cities of Hampton and Poquoson. The area provides habitat which serves as home to a variety of saltmarsh birds such as Clapper rails and many migratory birds and hundreds of other native plant and animal species.
Right now Saturday's weather is projected to be great with a few clouds and temperatures in the low 60s.
The plan for the day will be as follows: If you want to carpool from Williamsburg, meet at 7 am at Colony Square Shopping Center. We will meet the rest of the group in the parking lot next to Mathews High School at 8:30 AM. Before we depart, we will go over some administrative details and everyone must complete a liability/photo release form. We should depart Mathews HS no later than 9:00 AM and head to New Point Comfort. We will initially perform the bird survey, followed by a clean-up of the adjacent area. Trash bags will be provided, and we will separate the trash and recyclables. We will then proceed to Bethel Beach and follow the same routine. We should be finished for the day by mid afternoon.

I questioned the decision of a colleague concerning the use of a HOSTS file entry on an application server (standard SQL database backed .NET solution), which I think would cause connections to the SQL Cluster to connect only a single node in the SQL Cluster. In other words, the by using a HOSTS file entry like this....
...when the IP address above is the IP address of the active node in the SQL cluster and the application connection string contains SQLCLUSTER as the data source.
Intuitively, I would think the clustering technology would fail in an Active-Passive cluster configuration when using HOSTS files as described above. I do not have in-depth knowledge of MS SQL clustering, just more traditional network load balancing. Am I correct?

"We started off too cold. Our soil temperatures were on the cool side. We had a hard time getting a good healthy stand. One we got a healthy stand, all of the sudden it turned off too hot, too windy, and too dry, and we had to start irrigating this crop way before normal."
Many passers by this time of year think the corn crop has burned up. John Malazzo began harvesting this week.
"This corn looks like it's supposed to at this stage. "
"For us to harvest this corn, we have to let the stalk dry down and die in its natural process, and have to let the kernels deteriorate moisture wise to the point where we can harvest it and store it without having any mold or mildew."
And contrary to what you might think, rain is not what the corn producer fears most at this time of the year.
"Other than delaying harvest, it really wouldn't hurt this ear of corn, but what would hurt us would be some high winds, that would lay it on the ground to where our combines would have a hard time getting to it."
Skyrocketing input costs have made corn extremely expensive to grow.
"The high price of corn right now is only high to people that don't grow it because you're talking about a hundred dollars an acre for irrigation fuel, you're talking about a hundred dollars an acre for seed and technology fees, you're talking about a hundred dollars an acre for pot ash, you're talking about a hundred dollars an acre for nitrogen fertilizer, you're talking about twenty five to thirty dollars an acre for harvest costs, and that does not include your land rent or land costs."
"It's not as rosy as most folks think, but with good yields we still have a chance to make a profit."
I'm Joe Brown, taking a look at Brazos Valley agriculture, from the ground up.

Hi all
I've created a child theme of 2013 and created my styles.css file and changed the menu colours and menu backgrounds and made it bold.
However if I resize my window to simulate a mobile phone browser, the compact dropddown version of the menu is still the original colours and look.
In which file and what part of the code do I need to look at to also change the colours for the compact drown down version?

Not really, but Dropbox in concert with GIT, maybe. For a single developer scenario where you want to work on more than one development machine, I think this would work just fine.
I think as a quick and dirty approach, yes, it's fine. What everybody seems to not realise is that Dropbox does save the history of your files.
You wouldn't be able to easily go back to a previous project state though, just a previous state of individual files.
So yes, if you want VERY quick and VEEERRRRY dirty, then go for it.
The Linux kernel was developed via patch files for a long time and it worked.
I'd say any solution that works is "valid" - whether it is recommended, good practice etc is another matter entirely. I'd point them to github, set up a git server (very easy to do) or an SVN server, personally. I'd also ask for their commit log.
Not Source Control, maybe just a Source Backup
I store my svn repository in a DropBox folder, which is a quick and dirty way to work on multiple computers without setting up a proper SVN server.
This only works if two people don't use it on different computers at the same time (it will get corrupted)
No. Free source control hosting is widely available - dropbox isn't quicker than git or mercurial, although it is dirtier.
You might as well use RCS locally as use dropbox.

I figured it out I didn't load the "wp-load.php", then you can use the variables that hold the data.
prosp3ct, how do you get the variables?
I loaded wp-load.php but it's still not showing I'm logged in. Any advice on how you did yours?
uh wow i forgot to check up and reply the variables i'm loading are in the wp-load and i use the wordpress function.
if you loaded it , it should work
use include('') <-- or require('')
@tim if its not showing you that your logged in then , you had the same problem i did playing around with the sessions. make sure you load wp-load.php before the <html> and its been loaded on every page.
hope that helped
@roxer82 variables (that i created) and functions (wordpress) are just search for function on this support site.

We asked in last month's Petfinder newsletter if it was love at first sight when you spotted your pet on Petfinder.
Some of you, like Lisa, said you knew the moment you saw the photo on Petfinder that this pet was your perfect match. Lisa's dog, Denmark, had died, and when she saw his "spitting image" on Petfinder, she fell. "I was in for a big surprise when I saw [Ringo] in person. He was so small … nothing but skin and bones." No matter. Lisa had found her "angel."
The photo was all it took for others, too. "While searching for an adult cat," Paula wrote, "Ethel's picture just jumped out at me and said, 'I'm here, come get me please.'" Claire wrote, "The perfect picture is what attracted me to my doggy, Buddy."
For some, like KDS, it happened when they met their future pets. KDS wrote, "When the foster mom opened the door … I saw her husband holding my dog. Just the way her ears perked up when the door opened and how small she was in his arms, I knew she was the one."
Darla wrote, "I will never forget that day — the first time I
saw Buddy is ingrained in my brain for eternity. He was being kept in
the basement and when the door to the basement was opened, he was
standing on the landing between the two flights of stairs. I took one
look at him and I was in love."
When he visited a shelter, Charles was about to give up. "I only
saw big dogs," he wrote. Then "a lady said they had just gotten a
small dog back from the vet's. He had been hit by a mail truck and it
crushed his hip. He would probably always walk with a limp. I said I
would like to see him. When he came walking out he was a wild-haired
little thing about two years old." Charles adopted the wild-haired
little thing.
No matter what the story, you often just know. It's
inexplicable. It's magical.

ASSEN, Netherlands -- What looked like a lost season for Justin Wilson is starting to look a lot better.
Wilson won the Bavaria Champ Car Grand Prix at the TT Circuit Assen on Sunday, elevating himself from fourth to second place in the Champ Car World Series points standings. It was the first victory of the season for the 27-year-old Englishman, who entered the 2007 season as a championship favorite, and the fourth triumph of his career.
The win was also the first for RuSPORT Racing since Champ Car series co-owner Dan Pettit acquired the Colorado-based team from Carl Russo. There was plenty of uncertainty about the RuSPORT group's future early in the year, and Wilson struggled in testing until the team entered a technical partnership to pool data with Rocketsports Racing and driver Alex Tagliani.
As summer rolled around, Wilson got closer to the pace inevitably set by Sebastien Bourdais in qualifying. But he still was often unable to keep up in races, when Bourdais' peerless ability to run fast while saving fuel has helped him rack up six victories so far this year.
Bourdais had pole position at Assen, but Wilson beat him in the long drag race from the standing start to the first turn. Once in front, Wilson's only challenge came from Bruno Junqueira, whose Lap 8 flat tire turned into an advantage because it put the Brazilian onto a different pit stop sequence that allowed him to lead 30 laps.
However, Wilson regained the lead for good after making his final pit stop on Lap 51 of 69. He won by 7.226 seconds over Jan Heylen, with Junqueira third.
Bourdais stalled leaving his final pit stop and finished in seventh place. He holds a 58-point lead over Wilson with two races to go; Dutch hero Robert Doornbos, who finished 13th Sunday and dropped to 63 points back, is the only other driver with a mathematical chance of stopping Bourdais from clinching a record fourth consecutive Champ Car title before he departs for Formula One in 2008.
With Bourdais struggling for a change, Wilson was only too happy to lead the charge of those picking up the pieces.
"I was definitely concerned at some points during the race that Bruno might be able to get the lead," Wilson said. "But I just stuck to my plan of trying to save fuel. I focused on getting very good mileage, and I let Bruno pull away.
"When it was time to go, I felt pretty good," he added. "The car was working well and the faster I went, the better the balance was."
Before the race, Wilson was certainly not optimistic about his chances even though he started from the outside of the front row. He missed the Sunday morning warm-up session because of a leaky gearbox oil line.
Wilson credited RuSPORT engineer Mike Talbot for a competitive race setup and said his only problem was running too short a top gear after a change in wind direction.
"Circumstances worked out for us today," Wilson said. "We weren't particularly confident but figured we had nothing to lose. I think we worked out what we had done wrong with the setup, and I guess our predictions worked out.
"But it was pretty tough," he continued. "I could see Jan was quick, and he was quick where I was weak. We got top gear wrong, and I was hitting the rev limiter through Turn 15 and until the chicane. I had to work hard to make sure I didn't hit the rev limiter too hard and lose momentum."
Heylen didn't have the speed at the end to challenge for the win, but second place was still by far the best result in Champ Car for the second-year driver from Geel, Belgium. It was also Conquest Racing's best finish since joining the Champ Car series in 2003.
Circumstances worked out for us today. We weren't particularly confident but figured we had nothing to lose. I think we worked out what we had done wrong with the setup, and I guess our predictions worked out.
Justin Wilson
The podium finish came one week too late for Heylen, who had his home weekend at Zolder nearly ruined by a Friday practice crash caused by Dan Clarke.
"Finally!" Heylen exclaimed. "We had a tough start to [the] season and missed the first few races and then we had some bad luck in the first couple races we ran. But from the first time on track here, the car felt good. I think we showed our pace Saturday, but I didn't get the best out of qualifying.
"I told Eric [Bachelart, Conquest Racing owner] that I had the same feeling this morning as when I won the Formula Ford festival. It was time for all the bad luck to change, and I'm so happy for the team and all the sponsors involved. Everyone has done an amazing job for the budget we have."
Junqueira was disconsolate after qualifying 11th at a narrow track where passing was expected to be impossible. But his early puncture turned out to be a blessing because it put him in front on two occasions.
However, Junqueira had a slow final pit stop, caused by a misfunction of his Dale Coyne Racing car's pit-lane speed limiter. A 4-second lead turned into fourth place.
"This is the only race with two pit-lane speed limits, and when I pressed the button for 75 mph, for some reason it went to the 40-mph setting," related Junqueira. "I tried to recycle it for 75 mph and probably lost three or four seconds on that stop. But I'm very happy after starting 11th. We have a third and a second and hope we can finish the season with a win."
Junqueira wasn't the only driver who had a problem with his Cosworth engine's electronics; pole winner Bourdais dropped to sixth place on the opening lap when he pressed "Power to Pass" and got the pit-lane limiter instead. That prompted Race Control to order all drivers not to use Power to Pass.
Junqueira was under investigation by race stewards for violating that order. The Brazilian claimed he had trouble hearing radio communications from his team.
Assuming Wilson wins the next Champ Car race Oct. 22 at Surfers Paradise, Australia -- but does not score any bonus points for leading a qualifying session or setting the fastest race lap -- Bourdais can clinch the series title with a 14th-place finish.

A very good BASIC meatloaf recipe and I just love mini loaves and even better mini mini loaves (great as an appertiser). The only problem I had was what I though was an onion soup mix was creamy chicken so I added some onion powder and a finely diced shallot). I divided about 700g of lean minced (ground) beef into six muffin tin compartments which took 30 minutes to cook at 175C fan forced oven. Thank you Jubal Harshaw, made for PAC.
These took less than 5 minutes to go from ingredients to oven, which is awesome. The taste is OK. Not unbelievable, but definitely good. You can jazz them up if needed. The great thing about them is that they are quick, easy and a cinch to store in the freezer. BUT- with all ingredients listed- no changes- I only got 6 muffins. I don't understand how you can make 18 from this.
I made a smaller amount and added a tbsp of ketchup and a tsp of mustard to the mix. They were well cooked in 30 mins and were quite the hit at the table.

Awa, Ruth The introduction of the single currency (Euro) in Europe has been referred to as the 'world's largest economic experiment' and has led to major research on the effects of the adoption of a common currency on economic activity with considerable emphasis on its effect on trade flows at the macroeconomic level. However, the investigation of the euro effect on individual sectors has received very little attention and this provides the motivation for the research. The main contribution of this thesis is to the sectoral analysis of the single currency's effect on bi-lateral trade flows, specifically the effects on the transport equipment manufacturing sector. In order to achieve this, a comparison of the different estimation methods applied in the gravity model literature will be employed to investigate this effect and to identify the factors affecting trade in this sector. This study uses a panel data set which comprises the most recent information on bilateral trade for the EU15 countries from 1990 to 2008. This research aims to build on the results obtained in previous studies by employing a more refined empirical methodology and associated tests. The purpose of the tests is to ensure that the euro's effect on trade is isolated from the other pro- trade policies of the European integration processes, particularly the introduction of the Single Market. The desirable feature of this approach is that, while other studies limit their attention to a particular issue (zero trade flow, time trend, sectoral analysis, cross-correlation, etc.), very few, if any, apply a selection of techniques. Overall, the results demonstrate that the single currency's effect on trade in this sector is limited with only the fixed effects formulation with year dummy variables showing a significant positive effect of the euro. An obvious policy implication for countries looking to adopt a single currency is that they should be cautious regarding the potential for growth in intra-bloc trade in a particular sector, although they will benefit from the on-going process of integration. 2015-04-01T00:00:00Z Market efficiency, volatility behaviour and asset pricing analysis of the oil & gas companies quoted on the London Stock Exchange. Sanusi, Muhammad Surajo http://hdl.handle.net/10059/1243 2015-07-21T21:00:18Z 2015-06-01T00:00:00Z Market efficiency, volatility behaviour and asset pricing analysis of the oil & gas companies quoted on the London Stock Exchange. Sanusi, Muhammad Surajo This research assessed market efficiency, volatility behaviour, asset pricing, and oil price risk exposure of the oil and gas companies quoted on the London Stock Exchange with the aim of providing fresh evidence on the pricing dynamics in this sector. In market efficiency analysis, efficient market hypothesis (EMH) and random walk hypothesis were tested using a mix of statistical tools such as Autocorrelation Function, Ljung-Box Q-Statistics, Runs Test, Variance Ratio Test, and BDS test for independence. To confirm the results from these parametric and non-parametric tools, technical trading and filter rules, and moving average based rules were also employed to assess the possibility of making abnormal profit from the stocks under study. In seasonality analysis, stock returns were tested for the day-of-the-week and month-of-the-year effects. Volatility processes, estimation, and forecasting were undertaken using both asymmetric and symmetric volatility models such as GARCH (1,1) and Threshold ARCH or TARCH (1,1,1) to investigate the volatility behaviour of stock returns. To determine the effect of an exogenous variable on volatility, Brent crude oil price was used in the models formulated as a variance regressor for the assessment of its impact on volatility. The models were then used to forecast the price volatility taking note of the forecasting errors for the determination of the most effective forecasting model. International oil price risk exposure of the oil and gas sector was measured using a multi-factor asset pricing model similar to that developed by Fama and French (1993). Factors used in the asset pricing model are assessed for statistical significance and relevance in the pricing of oil and gas stocks. Data used in the study were mainly the adjusted daily closing prices of oil and gas companies quoted on the exchange. Five indices of FTSE All Share, FTSE 100, FTSE UK Oil and Gas, FTSE UK Oil and Gas Producers, and FTSE AIM SS Oil and Gas were also included in the analysis. Our findings suggest that technical trading rules cannot be used to gain abnormal returns, which could be regarded as a sign for weak form market efficiency. The results from seasonality analysis have not shown any day-of-the-week or monthly effect in stock returns. The pattern of stock returns' volatility can be estimated and forecasted, although the relationship between risk and return cannot be generalised. On a similar note, the relationship between volatility attributes and the efficient market hypothesis cannot be clearly established. However, we have established that volatility modelling can significantly measure the quantum of risk in the oil and gas sector. Market risk, oil price risk, size and book-to-market related factors in asset pricing models were found to be relevant in the determination of asset prices of the oil and gas companies. 2015-06-01T00:00:00Z An empirical study of the Nigerian Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) Bature, Bashir Gafai http://hdl.handle.net/10059/1007 2014-08-04T15:24:27Z 2014-04-01T00:00:00Z An empirical study of the Nigerian Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) Bature, Bashir Gafai This study conducts research to investigate whether Nigeria gaining Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) compliance status in 2011 has, in practice, improved transparency practices in its oil and gas industry. Its findings are the result of applying an accountability theoretical framework to the disclosure practices of the oil and gas industry. Although other studies have been published on the activities of the Nigerian oil and gas industry, they did not relate specifically to the issue of improved transparency practices in Nigeria after it achieved EITI compliance status. In line with many studies in the field, this study has adopted a mixed methods approach to analysing the issues. This study uses a questionnaire to gather perceptions from the responses of key stakeholders from seventeen different organisations in Nigeria. These data are then used to test various hypotheses. It also conducts follow-up in-depth interviews in order to gain further insights from experts in Nigeria to help interpret the results obtained. Anecdotal commentaries from the popular press in Nigeria had suggested that, despite gaining EITI compliance status there were still major shortfalls in what might be described as acceptable standards of disclosure relating to oil and gas revenue transparency. This study's findings to a certain extent provide evidence that this is the case. In addition, it finds that there appears to be no corresponding improvement in accountability for the use of the said revenue for the good of Nigerian society. This study found out that there was information about oil revenue and other activities of the oil and gas industry, in addition to an increase of oil revenue to the Government. Further, this study discovers that there is a need for the Government and its related agencies to improve, in the management of oil and gas revenue. The Government should also allow the remedial actions to be made appropriately in the oil and gas industry, as recommended by the NEITI audit reports. This study also recommends Nigerian Government to allow civil societies and NGOs to act independently, in the activities of oil and gas industry. They should also be involved in the decision making on how to use the oil and gas revenue received. There is also a need for consultation or a group discussion among the key stakeholders of the oil and gas industry, including the government officials and those that were not accessing enough information of the oil and gas revenue, to discuss on how the Government, related agencies and the oil and gas companies will improve and maintain effective processes in providing sufficient and accurate information of the oil and gas revenue at the appropriate period. The results of this study have importance to the policy and also the body of literature. 2014-04-01T00:00:00Z The entrepreneurial process and the role of gender: a comparative study of entrepreneurs in the business services and technology sectors in Scotland. Kearney, Gemma http://hdl.handle.net/10059/793 2014-04-02T21:04:18Z 2012-10-01T00:00:00Z The entrepreneurial process and the role of gender: a comparative study of entrepreneurs in the business services and technology sectors in Scotland. Kearney, Gemma The comparatively low levels of entrepreneurship in Scotland and in particular, low rates of female entrepreneurship are well documented and have been the focus of numerous government policies. In addition, there are specific issues regarding female entrepreneurship and whilst current literature broadly agrees that female owned businesses lag behind male owned business in terms of size and growth of the enterprise, the reasons for these differences are highly contested with no comprehensive explanations. This thesis seeks to explore the entrepreneurial process and the lived experiences of male and female entrepreneurs in Scotland to help shed further light on the situation. Utilising a phenomenological approach and deliberately avoiding leading participants on the issue of gender, the fieldwork yielded insights into gender and entrepreneurship in the Scottish context. The heterogeneity of female entrepreneurs became apparent, leading to the emergence of a new typology regarding how these entrepreneurs perceive and manage their gender. Further key findings also include the pivotal importance of the role of sector on the entrepreneurs' experiences and the influence of their previous education and work experience on their entrepreneurial experiences. Similarities also emerged between male and female entrepreneurs in their experiences and attitudes towards a number of issues in entrepreneurship. Exploring the research findings through the theoretical lenses provided by Liberal Feminism, Social Feminism and the Theory of Effectuation helped to derive useful insight that contributes towards the calls for a new 'female entrepreneurship theory'. 2012-10-01T00:00:00Z

Lalbagh adventure
The initial plan was to go to Lalbagh at 4PM, in Autorickshaws. 3 of us got into an auto-rickshaw (somehow) and as we neared Lalbagh it started raining. So we admired the gate from outside and came back the next day. The adventure consisted of consuming potato chips, baby corn kernels dabbed with lime, spice and e-coli, and peanuts. Then we walked around in closed loops, admired flowers, avoided dog poop. There was a flower garden with potted plants for sale, where an old man in a wheelchair made quite a remarkable whooping noise constantly. At which Mr. Somar laughed really loudly and pointedly.

There has been unrest lately in the one-room red schoolhouse in Wittmann, where the Nadaburg Unified School District governing board meets.
Nadaburg Superintendent Gregory Riccio blames necessary budget cuts for the district's woes, while some teachers and residents point to the schools chief as the source of problems.
The district trimmed $1 million from its $6 million budget this year, including four teachers, one administrator and seven support staff members, from bus drivers to library aides.
Riccio said he has been in the unpopular position of eliminating people and programs during a difficult economy.
"I can tell you that the cuts equal 10 percent of the staff, most of them through attrition, but not all," Riccio said.
The housing-market slump meant a drop in student enrollment, which in turn meant fewer teaching positions.
"Oftentimes there are people in the public who are not happy with the budget cuts," Riccio said. "We also have taxpayers who feel very strongly if we don't respond to decreasing enrollment."
But his opponents say it's more than budget cuts. They point to Riccio, who started at the district as an interim superintendent in 2008 after serving in school districts California and Connecticut.
"(Riccio) is complaining that the principals aren't doing their jobs. The principals are complaining that teachers aren't doing our jobs," said Nancy Petranovich, a teacher who has been with the district for 31 years. "If the principals aren't doing their jobs, that's because the superintendent isn't dealing with leadership issues of his own."
Petranovich chose not to renew her contract this year after what she called an "extremely tense" working environment snowballed.
She is one of at least 10 employees in the district who decided not to return next year. Contracts were sent out on May 26, and teachers had two weeks to respond, she said.
The frustrations highlight some of the tumultuous times the rural two-school district has undergone in recent years.
Until recently, Nadaburg Elementary was the only school in Wittmann, an unincorporated area of about 4,000 residents, roughly 15 miles northwest of Surprise on U.S. 60. It's a tiny, close-knit community: Neighbors are known to flock to offer a helping hand when someone's horse falls ill.
"That community is different than Dysart or Peoria, and I think that the people that go out there and devote their life to teach these children - it's not because we're getting paid more," Petranovich said. "That was the first district I was in where the kids would cry getting on bus for summer."
During the peak of the housing boom, the district had predicted its enrollment would reach as many as 7,000 students by 2010. What was then the Nadaburg Elementary School District voted to unify in 2007, with plans to open a high-school campus by 2010, and perhaps two to three new schools each year.
In 2008, the district's second school, Desert Oasis Elementary, opened at 171st Avenue and Jomax Road. By then, the economy was taking a dive. Enrollment dipped, then leveled, and today the district remains at about 830 students divided between its two campuses.
Summer school at Desert Oasis Elementary
Rose Pacheco, a Wittmann resident and spokeswoman for a local group called Parents for Accountability, said that the district was losing teachers due to mismanagement.
"Normal turnover is one thing, but when there's an exodus of people, like four or five at a time ... that's a red flag," Pacheco said.
Riccio's administrative assistant and Nadaburg's director of student services also resigned this year. Neither could be reached for comment.
At the district's May governing-board meeting, Pacheco presented a petition on behalf of Parents for Accountability for what they called a "vote of no confidence" against Riccio.
The statement cited the superintendent's "financial irresponsibility," "lack of planning," "leadership by threats and intimidation of staff," "unfair treatment of staff" and "willingness to endanger students to benefit himself" as reasons for the vote of no confidence.
However, Pacheco would not elaborate on the last allegation.
Another problem: The petition, which was reportedly signed by more than 60 employees and 80 residents, was entirely anonymous.
"People are afraid to come forward," Pacheco said. "They're trying to remain anonymous because there would be consequences."
She said the committee's ultimate goal was to present their case to the board members, in the hopes that they would remove Riccio from his position.
Because the item was not on the agenda, Nadaburg school-board members could not discuss the petition at the meeting - but also said they could not admit the item onto a future agenda if they never saw evidence.
"There were a lot of people there, but we were never given anything to back (Pacheco's) statement up," said Sue Dolphin, Nadaburg school-board member.
She said if the group were to submit a signed petition, the board would consider it.
Although the district's growth isn't where it expected, it is moving forward with some expansion.
The district is preparing to begin a Move on When Ready program at Desert Oasis Elementary. Under the program, eighth-graders will remain at the Desert Oasis campus to take a ninth-grade curriculum.
It's not the brick-and-mortar high school that the district envisioned five years ago, but it is Nadaburg's first foray into creating its own high-school program. Currently, Nadaburg students are bused to either Wickenburg or Dysart high schools after eighth grade.
Bill Collins, principal of Desert Oasis Elementary, is at the helm of the new program. He acknowledged that resources were tight and that at least four teachers had decided to leave his school, many to spend more time with their families, he said.
"I usually try to keep my head low and let the public do and say what they're going to do and say and let the board conduct themselves how they will," Collins said. "I just try to focus on the work at hand here."

How does Threonine work?Threonine is changed in the body to a chemical called glycine. Glycine works in the brain to reduce constant and unwanted muscle contractions (spasticity).
Are there safety concerns?Threonine is POSSIBLY SAFE when doses of up to 4 grams daily are taken by mouth for up to 12 months. Some people experience minor side effects such as stomach upset, headache, nausea, and skin rash.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking threonine if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease):There is some concern that threonine might decrease lung function in patients with ALS. In one study, ALS patients taking 1 gram of threonine four times per day for 6 months had significantly reduced lung function compared to patients who did not receive threonine. More evidence is needed to determine if threonine was actually at fault.

What's the point in adding a

Upcoming Thibodaux antique show tapped among tops in country
Published: Friday, August 29, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 at 4:06 p.m.
Antiques enthusiasts can soon see for themselves why a national magazine rates a Thibodaux antique sale among the top in the country.
The Bayou Lafourche Antiques Show and Sale, held every September by local civic club TaWaSi, is listed among CountryHome Magazines 100 Hot Antiques Shows.
We were real pleased with that, said Bettye Stroud, who co-chairs the show with fellow TaWaSi member Sue Herpel.
The CountryHome listing, included in the July/August issue of the magazine, features shows from across the country. The Thibodaux show is the only Louisiana antique show found on the list.
The 33rd annual Bayou Lafourche Antiques Show and Sale runs the first weekend of September in the Thibodaux Civic Center, 310 N. Canal Blvd. in Thibodaux. The show is set for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 5 and 6 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 7. Admission is $5 each and includes all three days.
The show features more than 40 dealers from throughout the South offering antiques like American and European furniture, nautical items, maps from the 1700s and 1800s, books, coin and sterling silver, silver flatware, glass, porcelain, estate jewelry, costume jewelry, lamps, linens and more.
Its fun to browse, Stroud said. And fun to buy, she added.
The annual event forms the major fundraiser for TaWaSi, which provides college scholarships to local students, educational resources to local schools and donations to local charities.
The Thibodaux show offers items from high-quality dealers, as the event has built a really good reputation among antiques dealers, Stroud said. The show boasts high attendance and good food, making the sale appealing to dealers.
They call this the five-pound show, because they gain five pounds, she said.
The sale typically draws about 2,000 people from across southern Louisiana and the remainder of the Gulf Coast, Stroud said.
This years show boasts more artwork, including oil and watercolor paintings and engravings, Stroud said. The show also will for the first time offer vintage childrens books.
Silversmith Leigh Ann Winter will be on hand to repair crystal, glass, silver and estate and costume jewelry.
Organizers plan to give out daily door prizes featuring items collected from the antique dealers.
The show also offers lunch items, drinks and desserts.
TaWaSi started the antique sale in 1975 to raise money for the Martha Sowell Utley Memorial Library in Thibodaux. Utley herself envisioned the antique show and served as one of the first co-chairs of the event, Stroud said.
The organization has since gone on to sponsor more than 50 scholarships to Nicholls State University, including four-year scholarships, she said. The event also has raised money for equipment and supplies for local schools: large instruments, a piano lab, science kits and math kits.
We look for things that dont get funding from other places, Stroud said. The group strives to impact as many people as possible, she added.
Money raised through the antique show also goes to charity efforts. Past proceeds helped buy a foundation for a Bayou Area Habitat for Humanity house, Stroud said. Leaders later discovered that one of the homes residents also held a TaWaSi scholarship.
We were doubly pleased that we could help that family, she said. It just makes you feel good.
The event allows antiques collectors and others to help the community while shopping for treasures, Stroud said.
Its just a fun time, she said.

Hey Phil,
I picked one up at a garage sale a while back. It needed work but after some minor tuneup work it sounds and plays great. It's a real solid feeling guitar that just needs to be broken in. Not sure what it's worth but I'm willing to bet it worth more than what I paid for it! It's a cherry sunburst. Any ideas on value or how to ascertain it?
