Software Freedom Conservancy and the Open Source Initiative are pleased to announce that they are the founding members of a working group focused on tax exemption issues for organizations in the United States.
Recent activity by the Internal Revenue Service in response to applications for tax exempt status have sparked a lot of interest and discussion amongst free and open source software communities.
The OSI is thrilled to announce the launch of the International Competition in Free and Open Source Software Multimedia (ICOM). Organized by the Sena Primary School (SK Sena), Malaysia and Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) along with the state government of Perlis, Malaysia and the Ministry of Education Malaysia the video competition is open to students from around the world: from primary school children to those attending institutions of higher learning. The main objectives of ICOM are as follows:
April annually sees the start of the OSI Board year, with resulting vacancies and the appointment of directors to fill them. This year saw vacancies arising due to the retirement of Board officers -- Karl Fogel, who has done a tremendous job as OSI's Treasurer, and of Martin Michlmayr, whose work as OSI's Secretary has been beyond measure. Also leaving due to term limits is Harshad Gune, and Richard Fontana's seat was open due to the one-year terms for directors representing Individual Members.
By Deb Bryant
March 12, 2014
I'm pleased to announce a major step in the development of the OSI. As our new General Manager, I'd like to take a few moments to introduce myself, and also provide a bit more information about both the new GM role itself, as well as some of the new programs identified by the OSI Board of Directors to extend and enable our mission.

Chris: When determining the best power forward ever, certain measurable qualities are looked at, including: is the player powerful, is the player forward-minded, is that player capable of being powerful and forward-minded simultaneously, and does said player even play basketball. As one can see, no stone will be left unturned.
Joe: Karl Malone is the best power forward ever. His longevity and résumé - 25 PPG, 10.1 RPG, 3.6 APG, 1.4 SPG, 14x All-Star, 14x All-NBA team, 2x NBA MVP (1997, 1999), Hall-of-Fame inductee (2010) - speaks of how dominating he was in delivering the mail - points that is. He was dominate on both ends of the court for almost two decades, as his muscular build and mean-like disposition made him more that most teams could handle.
Ralphie: Karl Malone is the best power forward ever because his Jazz had to face the Buils, and they were unstoppable during their hey day.
Chris: Malone was also an excellent craftsman, adept at engraving the names of all the Chicago Bulls on both the 1997 and 1998 Larry O'Brien trophies, as well as the names of the Detroit Pistons on the 2003 trophy. Including college and the NBA, Malone won as many championships as I did, which should give me equal consideration as the greatest power forward ever, assuming not playing basketball past high school does not disqualify me. Would it be considered opprobrious to name Michael Jordan as the best power forward ever, considering he went 2-0 against Malone in the playoffs and 3-0 against the other All-Star power forward of the era, Charles Barkley? I just said "opprobrious." It means "poo-poo."
Ralphie: Charles Barkley is NOT the best power forward ever because his man-to-man defense was somewhat lacking. War Eagle, though, Mr. Barkley.
Joe: Charles Barkley is NOT the greatest power forward of all time because of his lack of bringing in the titles that Karl Malone did. Sir Charles, the Auburn University "Round Mound of Rebound," was an intimidating player, even though he was only 6'6" (generously listed) among defenders much taller than he was. He could dominate the floor, take it coast to coast, block out and get the rebound like no one else his size has ever done. He is one of the all-time best players and most colorful commentators on basketball (or any other subject you choose to bring up). Résumé: 22.1 PPG, 11.7 RPG, 3.9 APG, 1.5 SPG, 11x All-Star, 11x All-NBA team, NBA MVP (1993), Hall-of-Fame inductee (2006).
Chris: Two power forwards who never faced Jordan in the playoffs are Elvin Hayes and Tim Duncan, both of whom won championships and may have generated high ratings had they been cast together for "The Odd Couple." If the 1998 Edge Pro Gel commercial was any indication of how Duncan and David Robinson interacted as roommates, Hayes would have made things much more violently captivating, as audiences would have learned how much damage a gnome thrown in anger could cause.
Ralphie: Elvin Hayes is NOT the best power forward ever because of his sulky attitude and difficulty accepting criticism.
Joe: Elvin Hayes is NOT the greatest power forward of all time. Elvin was a great power forward for his time but has been exceeded by several modern era players. His résumé - 21 PPG, 12.5 RPG, 1.8 APG, 12x All-Star, 6x All-NBA team, NBA champion (1978), Hall-of-Fame inductee (1990) - speaks loudly of his accomplishments and abilities, but his weakness of free throw shooting has kept him from being the best of all time.
Ralphie: Tim Duncan is NOT the best power forward ever because the Spurs would never have been able to take on the Bulls the way Malone's Jazz did.
Chris: Saint Patrick's Day 1996 was the last time I rooted against Tim Duncan. For one thing he wasn't wearing green. However, as a junior at Wake Forest, he was simultaneously beating the Texas Longhorns in the NCAA Tournament and causing NBA fans in Texas to hope that he would enter the NBA Draft, allowing the Mavericks to draft him. Instead, Duncan decided to stay in school, and the Mavericks drafted Samaki Walker. Fortunately, the Spurs drafted Duncan the following year, and after 18 seasons, Duncan has won five NBA titles, possibly six, assuming the Spurs held on to win in 2013, as the latter part of Game 6 was erased from my memory by an unlicensed hypnotist.
Joe: Tim Duncan is NOT to best power forward ever because his outstanding résumé - 19.8 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 3 APG, 2.2 BPG, 14x All-Star, 14x All-Defensive team, 14x All-NBA team, 2x NBA MVP (2002, 2003), 5x NBA champion (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2014) - is supported by an outstanding cast of teammates. Tim's point production is 25 percent less than Karl Malone's. Yes, Tim is a great silent leader and excellent all-around player, but not the dominant force Malone was.

And lastly just to inform those of you who are into 1/72 in general and fantasy at this scale in particular I stumbled across a blog that was new to me. Cheap Fantasy Minis is definitely worth your time and ranks highly, in my opinion, as a resource for those interested in this niche of a niche.
Had a great weekend. My son's team won their first flag football game of the season, and my back only hurt marginally as I got thrown around. Also the weather actually felt cool with a breeze. I have some volunteering to do at the school today and a project to design some sort of background for a Tai Chi presentation. Other than that I hope to get these figures painted and play out my next battle for Talomir. You can see the battle reports that have already come in at Talomir Tales. My Tereken forces were defeated and there is now an enforced peace between us and Altengard for the next two years.

Home Heating Oil & Your Generator
#1 and #2 Diesel Fuel are the primary fuel types for mobile and fixed diesel engine applications.
When buying fuel, #1 is often labeled at the pump as "Premium Diesel" or with a Cetane number of 44 or 45. It is thinner and a better choice in the winter.
#2 Diesel Fuel is thicker. Since it is thicker, it has more lubricating properties. Diesel #2 Fuel will gel easier in cold weather. This makes starting harder. It can also cause rough-running.
#2 Diesel is often labeled at the pump with a Cetane Number of 40
Home Heating Oil is NOT #2 Diesel oil. It is very close. It may have the same ignition quality and lubricating ability only. Refiners do not intend to use Home Heating Oil in an internal combustion engine. Fuel that is intended to be burned in your furnace, may not have the smoke suppressants, ignition accelerators and biocides to kill fungi and bacteria that is generally present in diesel fuel at the pump that vehicles use.
If you use #2 heating oil in your generator, you are at risk of causing serious damage. Using #2 home heating oil will void any manufactures warranty. Some of the first problems users encounter is damaged fuel pumps, fuel injectors and engine glazing.
The heating oil companies want you to buy their fuel and do not care about your engine. They will say it is the same #2 diesel fuel with red dye added to it. All they want to do is sell you fuel. If heating oil was safe for compression engines, the fuel compaies would advertise this and they do not. Many articles can be found on this topic. Not one article can be found from a fuel company telling you any differently.
Kerosene is added to diesel fuel by some suppliers in small quantities. Kerosene has virtually no lubrication qualities.
Kerosene is routinely added to home heating oil, in large quantities. The furnace does not know or care. The furnace oil pump does not have the same clearances (they are more crude, greater clearances, lower pressure) and the kerosene will not hurt them. Most will and often do run on straight kerosene. If the oil tank is outside, the mix will be either 50/50 or straight kerosene. Kerosene does not have the same heat values. You will not get the same amount of power from a gallon of kerosene as from heating oil or diesel fuel.
Your engine needs the fuel additives that home heating oil is missing. If you are using home heating oil, it is a sure way to cut the life of your fuel injector pump, fuel injectors and the rest of your engine.
If something fails due to fuel quality, it is not a manufacturing defect and will not be covered under any warranty.

Lemme tell ya, tonsillitis and reading a fantastic series of books just plain goes together. I know. I did it over this past week.
Before I get to the meat of my posting, one question; isn't tonsillitis a kids malady?
But I digress.
Prick your ears my children on this bit of sweetness, the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne.
It begins with Hounded, continues with Hexed, and I just finished the third in the series, Hammered.
Everyone who aspires to sit beside published authors has acquired the irritating habit of 'editing' as they read books. I see wall-to-wall alliterations, bad grammar, overuse of pronouns, and
think how the hell did this person get an agent let alone get published wonder if reading every new book will hit me this way.
I began Hounded and my editorial eye kicked in immediately. But nothing happened, no critiques exploded to kill my concentration. *whoa*
For me there are three kinds of books.
One, a book I immediately sling to one side and expand my mind by mowing the lawn instead.
Two, a book I like, dig in and devour. But muddled prose and unnecessary characters fill the pages and I begin skipping paragraphs then pages to get to the end. Usually I re-read them thoroughly.
Three, the last kind, the novel that I savor, roll over my senses, and absorb every word w/o skipping a word.
Not many books have had that effect on me. The King Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss is one. Now, the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne is the second.
How good? I bought the series for my Kindle but now I must have them in book form. They are too good not to feel the paper under my fingers as I read.
And my tonsillitis is succumbing to pills I swallow twice daily. Of which I forgot to take because I was writing this. ACK.

No boring black or slinky sexpot dresses for this stylish girl! Oscar-nominated True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld dishes about her new red- carpet status. [#image: /photos/5582c590941a95530d04e3a3]||||||Photo via Getty Images
_No boring black or slinky sexpot dresses for this stylish girl! Oscar-nominated True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld dishes about her new red- carpet status. _****
WHITE NIGHT: "The Prabal Gurung dress I wore to the Golden Globes was the first evening gown I've ever worn. It was actually the last one I put on during the fitting. When I saw it on the rack, I didn't think I would like it. But my mom said, Try it on—you have nothing to lose. Im glad I took her advice.
OFF-DUTY: Im really casual with my everyday clothes. I wear jeans, T-shirts, and sweatpants. My favorite stores are H&M, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and Nordstrom. social life One of the most exciting celebrity encounters Ive had on the awards circuit so far was with the cast of The Social Network. Im in love with them. Theyre so sweet and down-to-earth. I had a really long conversation with Andrew Garfield, and we shared on-set stories. Id never really been able to talk to another actor like that before.
ON ICE: As for red-carpet jewelry, Ive been trying to stay pretty clean because I want to keep it about the clothes. I can only wear rings, bracelets, and necklaces anyway because I dont have my ears pierced. My mom wont let me get them pierced until Im sixteen.
What do you think of Hailee's red carpet looks? Let us know in the comments below!

Pizza Ranch Looking to Open Duluth Location in the Near Future – UPDATE: Confirmed
Options for dining out in the Duluth Superior area have expanded a lot recently, with big players like Chipotle and Dunkin Donuts coming into the Twin Ports. Now a report suggests another chain may be looking to open in Duluth.
Local business blog CDINDuluth is reporting that popular pizza chain Pizza Ranch may have plans to get into the Duluth market as they continue to expand the company. They even suggest in the blog that they may have a location open in the area by the end of 2015.
UPDATE (9/16/15): CDINDuluth confirms Pizza Ranch's plans to open in Duluth with representation from the company. Representatives did not give an exact opening date, but the confirmation suggests the location will open sometime this fall. The company did not confirm the location, however CDINDuluth and multiple reports from our Facebook page suggest it will be at the former Party America location.
According to the blog, the former Party America location in the Stone Ridge Shopping Center (1025 West Central Entrance) is the likely location. This would place the restaurant in the same complex as OfficeMax and Michael's, around the corner from the Sprint Store. While the blog states that they don't have confirmation from the company, they claim site work has already begun with a target open date this winter.
Pizza Ranch is a midwestern-based pizza chain that focuses on both dine-in and delivery options with a buffet being offered in many locations. They currently have regional locations in Hibbing, Brainerd, Little Falls, and several other locations in Southern and Western Minnesota.

Benefit 6 Piece Skincare Set - £10 Asos (link)
If you're literally stuck for last minute christmas gifts why not pick up this Benefit mini set for a bargain price of £10. I've never been aware of the Benefit skincare range until I went to the Benefit Brow Bar Launch in Middlesbrough with Tor earlier in the year and since finding out about this set I've been dying to get my hands on it. Each time I've been to get my brows done with Tor the pair of us have been wanting to buy this set for it to be sold out each time - the same can be said on Asos. However I've finally gotten my grubby mits on the set and technically it cost nothing as I redeemed my beauty points in Debenhams on it.
In the set you recieve 6 deluxe sized samples which is ideal for testing out the range and ideal for travelling. Now don't be fooled by the sizes as sometimes (less of the smut) good things come in small packages- I've already gone through one of the little tubs of the face cream and it lasted me a good 6 weeks of daily use (review here).
I still haven't had chance to try some of these items out - however I'm already a convert for their eye cream, and you can't get a more gritter exfoliator than the refined finish facial scrub (review here). If you've done reviews on any of the other items in the set leave me your links in the comments below.

2017 Williams Watch- Aunt Venus Is In The US Open Semis!
And yeah, rest of women's tennis tour, she and her child will be at the 2018 Australian Open
Meanwhile Aunt Venus is upholding the Williams family name at Flushing Meadow and now playing a second week of tennis at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
After 9th seeded Big Sis dispatched Maria Sakkari of Greece in straight sets 6-3, 6-1, she faced a tougher task in the fourth round as she took on Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain. It took her three sets, but she survived and advanced to the quarterfinals by a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 count.
That win earned her a quarterfinal matchup with the Czech Republic's Petra Kvitova, who was fresh off upsetting 2017 Wimbledon champ Garbine Muguruza in straight sets.
Her opponent will be fellow American Sloane Stephens, who also survived a three set match that was decided on a third set tie breaker against Latvia's Anastasija Sevastova.
Can Aunt Venus make it to her third Grand Slam final and her first US Open final since 2002?
And more importantly, can she finally break through and win a Grand Slam title this year?
Sure hope so.

Traveling alone, an exciting experience
Traveling alone, an exciting experience
Traveling alone could be a brave and a scary decision or an amazing experience.
Paulo Coelho says: "Travel is not about money, it's about courage", and that is what we need to fit our life in a backpack and say hello to our friends and families, leaving for a solo travel, where sometimes the best companion is yourself.
Traveling alone, a unique adventure
Whether it is a sailing trip, to explore a new way to travel, a journey to a faraway country to discover its culture or to an urban metropolis to enjoy different trends, lifestyles or languages, traveling alone is first of all to let yourself be transported by the instinct and the journey itself. This can be easier than you might think, even when you've never done it before, because we know that it can be challenging to coordinate a trip with someone else, and when you are on your own you can do everything you want, everywhere, anytime. Finally it can be empowering, enjoying your time, you will gain self confidence and why not? You'll make new friends with same interests, and your experience will be profound, unfiltered, immersive and truly fulfilling. Last but not least your will begin "at the end of your comfort zone".
Solo travelers: who they are and why they choose to travel alone
They are called "solo travelers" and they like to travel alone around the world. According to a research their majority is composed, for the most part, of women (58,3%) who have plenty of courage and curiosity about life. Motivated by the desire to explore, mingle and share, they don't think twice to leave at home husbands and companions, looking for a true sense of freedom that only a real trip, traveling alone, can offer.
In the world of tourism, the figures provided show that the solo travelers' army is growing exponentially and they are people with such a strong desire to have an experience of this kind that are fully willing to do it alone.No matter what type of trip they choose or whether is a business trip, a travel coaching workshop or a completely relaxing all inclusive holiday, the solo travelers will stop at nothing and above all they courageously keep pursuing their dreams.
Research show that this market share, essentially feminine, usually prefers exotic or cultural trips and in contact with nature. Traveling solo is not only a lifestyle for those who are alone, paradoxically in fact people romantically linked to someone are more inclined to move away from loved ones to reconnect with the self.
What is the meaning of traveling alone?
Traveling alone means many things to many people, everyone has a different motivation to prepare the backpack, buy a Lonely planet guide, put some money in the pocket and leave. Most of the time people are guided by an internal question that is looking for an answer through the travel, sometimes they are aimed by a sense of freedom or independence, or they want to put themselves to the test. In other circumstances, undertaking a trip is an occasion to overcome difficult moments or simply take back their lives in their own hands.
The journey of solo travelers sometimes is transformed into a real path leading to a personal growth
through which is found the courage and the self-confidence.
Traveling alone make us wiser, because it favors the discovery of others and first of all ourselves, in an almost introspective way. The difficult moments of the trip ( such as to overcome fear, loneliness and unexpected events) are the highlights of the experience itself and become instruments of life, that enrich our own cultural and human knowledge.
Solo travelers also have in their favor the science: according to some studies, traveling alone help the self-esteem and makes the mind free, stimulating the tolerance and making the mind more flexible.
Those who are traveling alone are well aware that exploring new places in a solitary way is the best occasion to know a place and its traditions.
Anyway humans are social animals and need the presence of other people to survive, but in the spasmodic research of the companionship we are not able to acknowledge the benefits of loneliness (intended as the time to reflect on ourselves). There are moments in fact, for the mental health, it is important the reflection and the meditation, two techniques that contribute to reduce the stress.
Traveling alone sailing through the world: alone yet not alone
One of the most exciting and liberating journey is by far sailing through the world.
There are no programs to follow and rhythms to be kept: your own schedule is dictated by time and the jump from the tourist to the traveler is immediate.
Bewitched by that way of traveling into a perfect harmony with the place where we are: the smells, the colors, the smiles of the people who we meet for the first time remain indelibly more than any other souvenirs.
While in the eyes only flows the sea, slowly we discover ourselves and this means to accept our strengths, but above all the weak points, reaching the awareness that we are the only one traveling (and life) companion that we really have. All this without forgetting one of the best advantages of traveling alone: a chance to meet new and interesting human beings that otherwise we would never meet at home.
So we find ourselves sharing a restricted space on a sailboat with people who until recently we didn't know: we will become more tolerant, less shy and more open to the socialization. Furthermore it is possible that a travel companion will become a solid friendship or maybe the love of our life: this not happens every day but it's not so impossible!
Traveling alone (but with a company) is an experience you should try: as well as sharing an intense experience, you can enjoy breathtaking sunsets, diving with fishes, full moon nights in roadstead and heart-warming meetings precious even in the most difficult periods of your life.
And you will realize that the human contact helps you to discover a new side of yourself, transforming and considering aspects with which you had never succeeded to manage before.
You need to cast off, and if you are ready to face the risk, because the life, beyond the comfort line, is really amazing.

With a pulse capability of 250 Hz, the unit can reduce the overall heat input to make a smooth warp-free weld on the most difficult to weld material you have. Whether it's thin sheet metal or thick plate, the Power I-MIG 250 P can help you mult- task without needing extra welding equipment. The single pulse control technology allows complete control while welding on thin gauge materials and on hard to weld alloys that require extreme care in heat control. Complete parameter adjustment can tailor the pulse to do exactly what you want it to. In some competitor's products, you'll find a one-size-fits all approach with little or no pulse parameter adjustment. Not with the Everlast welder! Frequency, Pulse Width, and Pulse Voltage Control, means that the pulse feature is fully adjustable. Burn Back and Arc Force control are standard features of this unit. Compare this to any competitor's product, and you will see the advantage of the Everlast Power I-MIG 250P in features alone. Although this self contained wire welder is full size, it is light weight and easy to move around the shop. You'll find that the heavy duty 4 roller, gear driven feed mechanism is as sturdy and reliable as any drive roller system on the market. You can equip the large Binzel MIG gun with Teflon liners to allow simple and easy aluminium welding with large spools or aluminium wire. The 250P accommodates full size rolls easily, yet maintains a lower profile and foot print in the shop than most welders in the 250 Amp class. If you will compare the welder with the competition, you'll find that Everlast easily comes out on top, whether its features, performance, reliability, or price.

New £12m West Ham striker Enner Valencia signed to fire Hammers into the TOP FOUR [VIDEO]
ENNER VALENCIA has revealed he was lured to West Ham by the prospect of a top four finish.
The £12m summer signing made the astonishing claim as he was unveiled against the backdrop of the Olympic Stadium yesterday.
And the Ecuador international, who grabbed three goals for his country at the World Cup, reckons Champions League football could be gracing the Hammers' new home in the near future.
"Before signing we spoke a lot about ambition," said the man nicknamed 'Superman' for his goal scoring exploits in South America.
"The ambitions of the club is to try and play European football and it's definitely a great challenge.
"I'm going to work very hard for it and they're going to try and make top four.
"From what I've heard, it will be in around two seasons that they'll try to move here [the Olympic Stadium].
"It will definitely be great for the club and for us players as well."
"It will definitely be great for the club and for us players as well"Enner Valencia
Valencia may share his name with the Man of Steel but he admits he must build up his fitness before he can become West Ham's new superhero striker.
Hammers co-owner David Sullivan admitted this week that he does not expect his new signing to feature before the Capital One Cup at the back end of the month.
And while the 24-year-old is busting a gut to try and make the Premier League curtain raiser against London rivals Spurs, he admitted Hammers' fans might have to be patient.
He added: "I'm training normally now and trying to adapt to the manager and what he wants and the philosophy of the club. I'm expecting to be ready in between one or two weeks.
"After the World Cup I stopped for quite a few days but I'm training normally now. I've got hope that maybe I might make it to the first game."
Hammers boss Sam Allardyce remains desperate to land another forward as cover for injured Andy Carroll.
But Stoke's £3m asking price for Peter Crouch has proved too rich for Big Sam.
Another option remains Hugo Almeida following his release from Besiktas.
But West Ham are facing competition for the 30-year-old Portugal forward from German outfit Eintracht Frankfurt.
Basle striker Marco Streller has also been attracting interest. But the Switzerland international may yet be persuaded to stay with the club where he has spent the last seven years.

Beginning a journey with map in hand and a clear cut path is where I am most comfortable.
However, looking through the thicket with briars, stumps, fallen trees, and no path is where I stand. It's exciting, yet I'm a little apprehensive. So instead of trying to make sure everything is perfect on this blog, I am choosing to forge ahead into Uncharted Woods. It's the unbeaten path, listening for the next step, a place of discovery.
Thank you for joining the journey with me.
First of all, our motto for our home is "People Live Here!"
It has been the most freeing 3 words I was ever taught in a bible study. Our home is not a "shrine" to be worshipped and adored by others. It is the place where we gather around the table and share stories about our day. It's the feeling my children get when they drive down the driveway and know they are finally home.
It's the smell of candles burning, something baking in the oven or frying bacon for breakfast that draws them all to the kitchen.
A cozy bed with lots of blankets and pillows, or multiple Enos hanging up around the house as if we live in the jungle.
The crackling of the wood burning fireplace, and the occasional smell of smoke when we forget to open the flue. A cowbell that hangs by the back door to call them in for supper, and if that doesn't work mom just yells at the top of her lungs. The multiple tree houses and shanties out in the woods built by boys being boys, which means an endless amount of dirt in the house.
The girls, taking pictures, making videos, listening to music and having dance parties upstairs, but it's so loud they sound like they are downstairs.
The sound of some power tool coming from the shed would be Dexter handcrafting the next custom farm table for a client. Big dogs barking at anything that moves. Little dogs barking because the big ones are. Kids jumping like Superman out of the tree house onto the Trampoline. And the list goes on.
Yes, this is our home, and people really do embrace life here. We don't try to attain perfection, but our goal is to mature and discover, daily. Feelings get hurt, sharp tones are used when frustrated, dishes don't end up in the dishwasher, the lid does not get closed on the washing machine, etc. But at the end of the day, we all know we are loved unconditionally by Jesus and one another. There is nothing more important to us than that.
So take a little walk around our blog. Get to know a little bit about Our Story, Our Family, Our Business, and coming soon, you can shop online with us! I look forward to forging ahead into this blog world with you guys and share a little about our life, our business, and our everyday walk with The Lord. Following Jesus in this world every day is a journey. As we approach those Uncharted Woods, we can stand boldly before His throne with this prayer,
"Show me Your ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths; guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long." Psalm 25:4-5
A special thank you to my friend Tara over at Between You and Me for inspiring me, and to Colby at Triumph Fitness for helping me design and set up the site.

This purple coral is know as an acropora coral. It is a type of hard coral that grows in colonies that build large plate-like structures on the coral reef. Purple Acropora corals vary in color from deep, dark purple to a lighter, almost violet shade of purple. Acropora corals are common in the reef aquarium hobby because they are relatively easy to keep.

Things I liked: A nicely made product that fits as it should.
Things I would have changed: Make it a little longer for clearance purposes.
What others should know: May not allow enough clearance for additional attachments.

Things I liked: I had purchased this item for my Baikal Russian made BB gun. I chose the no fake suppressor one thinking I can save up some cash. It was a mistake. I should have just went ahead and purchased the one with fake suppressor. This extended barrel and fake suppressor add a nice appearance on the gun and even if I have not chronograph it, it feels like it shoots faster. One thing for sure, it helped with accuracy.
Things I would have changed: If you decided to shoot without the fake suppressor, you can always unscrew it and screw in your thread protectors to protect the fine thread of the barrel.
What others should know: The thread is delicate, always leave fake suppressors in or always have thread protector securely threaded to the barrel.

Things I liked: Nice realistic looking fake suppressor. Proportion in size. It did improve distance and accuracy.
Things I would have changed: Finish is a little on the rough side. Smooth surface would be nicer. It has a flat black finish to it that is a magnet to dust and dirt. Punched in label " Model FS22 .22LR Only" etc etc was inverted/upside down when you screw it on the gun. It would have been nice if it seats in upright position and easily read. Simply by threading it on the opposite side. Half by twenty eight 1/2 X 28 thread is too fine. I would go 1/2 X 20 instead.
What others should know: Thread is too fine, be very careful when you thread it on the barrel. It did improved accuracy and distance. GET IT while they still have it. Forget the thread protectors. Mine did not come with it. Spoke with one of the specialist and will give me refund. You will have to unscrew old barrel first from the gun, only then can you screw on the new threaded barrel. Use some masking tape so you do not scratch your gun barrel. It was price accordingly and reasonably I think.

I've read in several posts that this does fit IZH 61. Can you please confirm? I'm looking for a way to add some muzzle weight and a possible air stripper or fake suppressor.
Does this product fit other IZH air guns, such as the IZH 60 and 61?
No, it does not.

SELECTION <options>;
The SELECTION statement performs variable selection. The statement is fully documented in the section SELECTION Statement in SAS/STAT 14.1 User's Guide: High-Performance Procedures.
The HPQUANTSELECT procedure supports the following suboptions in the METHOD= option in the SELECTION statement to specify the corresponding effect selection methods:
specifies no model selection.
specifies the forward selection method, which starts with no effects in the model and adds effects.
specifies the backward elimination method, which starts with all effects in the model and deletes effects.
specifies the stepwise regression method, which is similar to the forward selection method except that effects already in the model do not necessarily stay there.
By default, the METHOD=STEPWISE option is used in the SELECTION statement. If you do not use the SELECTION statement, the HPQUANTSELECT procedure fits the full model that is specified by the MODEL statement; this is equivalent to specifying the METHOD=NONE option in the SELECTION statement. For information about all the selection criteria that are used in PROC HPQUANTSELECT, see the section Criteria Used in Model Selection.
The DETAILS=ALL and DETAILS=STEPS options produce "Fit Statistics" and "Parameter Estimates" tables, which provide information about the model that is selected at each step of the selection process.

Christie's Photographs: Man Ray, Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Weston.
On April 4, 2013, Christie's will commence its spring Photographs sales in New York with the deLIGHTed eye: Modernist Masterworks from a Private Collection. This extraordinary collection of 70 vintage prints executed mainly between 1900 and 1925 was formed by a private collector based in South America with his advisor, Jill Rose, who later became Vice President of the International Center of Photography. In building the collection, it was their intent to focus on photographers who had been keenly influenced by the artistic revolution in Western Europe at the turn of the century, and who in turn profoundly affected the history of the medium. The sale expects to realize in excess of $5.2 million.
The collection initially took its form when the collector and Rose put together a 'wish list' of elite photographers and gathered reproductions of ideal images by this influential group. Using this list as a guide, they acquired extraordinary photographic masterpieces, their first purchase being a unique photogram by László Moholy-Nagy from 1925 (estimate: $200,000-300,000) – pictured above, left. Additional highlights include prints by Eugène Atget, Constantin Brancusi, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Man Ray, Christian Schad, Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Weston.
Edward Weston
Nude, 1925, palladium print (estimate: $400,000-600,000), is one of Edward Weston's finest and most important nudes, yet very little-known. A very rare print, it was probably only published once – on the November 1980 cover of an auction catalogue for a New York Photographs sale. The sitter is Miriam Lerner, a young Los Angeles socialite, with whom Weston began a passionate affair just two weeks after he arrived in California after leaving Tina Modotti in Mexico.
Similar works:
Edward Steichen
Bricks, c. 1922, gelatin silver print (estimate: $200,000-300,000), is one of a highly-prized series that the artist made of the view from his apartment window on West 86th Street in New York. It is a rare example of Steichen working within the Modernist idiom, where his viewpoint screened out as many extraneous details as possible, leaving the viewer to focus on the strong vertical shaft between the two walls and the pattern of bricks. The photograph owes a debt to Alfred Stieglitz's From My Window series done at `291'.
Alfred Stieglitz
Alfred Stieglitz was the single most influential figure in the development of early 20th century American photography. He guided the remarkable transition from Pictorialism to Modernism and made New York City an important center for both.
From the Back Window - "291"- N.Y., Summer 1914, gelatin silver print (estimate: $200,000-300,000), is an important example of how Stieglitz's style changed in a four-year period that included the 1913 Armory Show, and his subsequent departure from Pictorialism. From the Back Window can be regarded as a transitional work – an incorporation of the influences from the Armory Show evident in Steiglitz's new work. His series of photographs from '291' are among his most prized works, each a formal and objective study in delineating shapes and expressing structure.
Similar image:
Alvin Langdon Coburn
Alvin Langdon Coburn is represented by a Vortograph titled
The Eagle, 1917, gelatin silver print (estimate: $200,000-300,000), which was originally part of a larger group in the collection of George Eastman House, Rochester, New York. Coburn's career as a Vorticist photographer began in London in 1917 and lasted for only about a month. Anxious to disprove the common notion that the camera could not be truly abstract, he made 18 Vortographs which are now prized for their rarity, their power and the fact that they take abstraction just about as far as it can go in photography. The resulting images, exhibited at the Camera Club in London, prompted the Vorticist painter Ezra Pound to proclaim in his introduction for the exhibition catalogue that `the camera is freed from reality.'
Francis Bruguière
Francis Bruguière was of America's most innovative photographers. His cut-paper experiments compare in importance with Alvin Langdon Coburn's more famous Vortographs as pioneering examples of pure photographic abstractions. Experiment from 'The Way,' c. 1925, gelatin silver print , was taken by Bruguière in New York during the last year he worked on his first experimental film, The Way. The image is powerful, dramatic and macabre, with five overlapping views of the sitter's face wearing a frenzied expression and filling the frame.
Similar images:
Constantin Brancusi
Two Sculptures: 'Le Nouveau Né II', 1920 and 'L'Enfant Dormant', 1906, gelatin silver print (estimate: $70,000-90,000), was one of a group of studies discovered in Paris in the late 1970s. One of the finest and most complex examples from the artist's large body of photographs, the print is in an unusually large format. The photograph is an exquisite document of conception and purpose, not simply a record of completed work.
Tina Modotti
This print of Texture and Shadow, palladium print (estimate: $200,000-300,000), is the only one in private hands. The only other known print is in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Neither print was titled by Modotti, but her close friend, the journalist Carleton Beals, used this title when publishing the image in 1929. Dated between 1924 and 1926, the present image is the purest of Modotti's abstractions, a stunning juxtaposition of darkness, light and material.
Man Ray
Francis Picabia, Grande Vitesse, 1924, gelatin silver print (estimate: $100,000-150,000), depicts the painter Francis Picabia and brilliantly captures the excitement that he felt when driving fast in what is probably his favorite Mercer. Picabia liked to have his friend Man Ray photograph him in extravagant cars. The image was published in La Révolution Surréaliste in 1925.

Mathematics teachers often struggle to motivate their students. One way to cultivate and maintain student interest is for teachers to incorporate popular media into their methodology. Organized on the subject strands of the Common Core, this book explores math concepts featured in contemporary films and television shows and offers numerous examples high school math teachers can use to design lessons using pop culture references. Outlines for lessons are provided along with background stories and historical references.
The idea for this book originated when I was writing a personal essay on what influenced me to become interested in mathematics as a female (the stereotype is still commonly held that males are better in math than females). Writing this essay caused me to reflect on my past and think about not only how I became interested in math, but also how I stayed interested in math. I had some of the typical influences, such as great math teachers and natural ability. However, one unexpected influence I recalled at this time was watching one of my favorite television shows called Byrds of Paradise. I remember one scene where the teenage son, played by Seth Green, was studying for a math test and he had to memorize the quadratic formula. He kept repeating negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac over 2a. I got so excited because I had also just learned the quadratic formula. Seeing the connection between what I was learning in the classroom and what I was watching on television perpetuated my interest in math.

I'm ecstatic for two reasons.
Firstly I got another wonderful care package from Caity - four more issues of Machine Quilting Unlimited, a really interesting mag that I'd never seen before Caity sent me one a while back.
So a huge thankyou to my friend for her generous spirit. I'm not at all sure what I've done to deserve it, but thankyou.but I did say I had two reasons to be excited, right ? Well, I opened the top mag on the pile and was flicking through when I found THIS
...this quilt Circles Of Life was made by my very very dear friend [ for more than 25 years ] Linda French of Centerville, Ohio
and if it looks familiar, well, yes, I DID show it to you once before when it picked up Best of Show in the American Quilters Society show in Tennessee last year
and she's done it again
This spread was in honour of her Best of Show at the Machine Quilters Expo earlier this year
and now I have to ask you all to keep your fingers crossed for the next little while because this special quilt is on its way to Houston ! [ which, for you non-quilters, is the biggest most prestigous quilt show in the world ... and to even be juried in is just a huge huge deal ]
Am I proud of my friend ? you betcha!
Am I surprised ? Not in the slightest
edited to add:
I found a wonderful article about Linda here [ and yes, I still have that quilt she made for 'Susan' in 1985 ]
and another article [ covering much the same ground ] here

I'm happy you're happy and I'm glad for your friend! How exciting for her!
I don't quilt, but I love to look at them!
Have a lovely day and enjoy!

Woohoo! Glad you're happy with the mags - there's one more (at least!) hanging about somewhere on my work table that will eventually reach you!

Modern Foreign Languages Feedback- year 8This week students from year 8 were invited to Baraza to feed back their thoughts to Mr Zafar on their French or Spanish lessons. Students really seemed to understand the importance of learning a language and how it will benefit them in the future.
Here's what they said:
What Went Well:
Students commented that they:
- enjoy that different skills that are involved in lessons
- enjoyed the last module which was a French film review
- enjoyed learning about the culture about the countries alongside the language aspects
- are making a greater progress this year and enjoying languages more
- enjoy watching videos alongside working, they believe it helps them more.
- enjoy languages overall
Even Better If:
Students said that would like:
- more role play activities
- to choose their seating plan (students are aware that teachers choose seating plans for a variety of good learning reasons)
- a language OOSHL (after school club)

The Most Common Mistakes People Make When Buying a Second HomeSome buyers will look back on their home-buying decision and smile. Others will not. The smart buyers smile because they learned from the mistakes of others. Mistake No. 1 - "I'll wait until next year." The same property is unlikely to be available next year, and if it is available, it will usually cost more. Look at the projected price and availability a year from now and see if it makes economic sense to wait. Mistake No. 2 - "We want to buy near our friends." The market may have changes since the friends made their purchase, and the best value may be in another area. Friends are not always informed or objective about the market. Mistake No. 3 - "We don't plan to move again." Plan for the unexpected. Changes in financial status, health, or family needs can occur and require a sale sooner than expected. Resale value will always count at some point, so consider that possibility when buying. Mistake No. 4 - "It's just the two of us; we don't need much room"/"We have a big family; we need lots of bedrooms." Many people find themselves selling the first home and buying a larger one within two years because there is no storage, the kitchen is too small, or there isn't adequate space for guests. Others scale down later because they were tired of running a hotel for friends and relatives. Avoid extremes. Mistake No. 5 - "We don't want to spend more than..." Price is a factor, no matter what the budget, but it shouldn't be the only factor. With interest rates extremely low, buyers can get more home than they expected. Most lenders will be glad to pre-qualify buyers and outline a variety of choices. Mistake No. 6 - "We just loved/hated the way the home was decorated." Look beyond paint, wallpaper, and furniture, and see room size, layout, windows, and view. Nearly every model is gorgeous, but that doesn't mean it will work for every buyer. Some resales need a face lift, but that shouldn't get in the way of a good value if the layout and location work well. Mistake No. 7 - "This community has a restaurant and clubhouse, golf, tennis, shuffleboard, an Olympic-sized pool, a fitness center, paddleboats, and..." Those are all nice amenities if they match the buyer's interests. Not only is the cost of the amenities built into the price of the home and the association fees, but buyers who don't use the amenities may not have anything in common with their neighbors. Mistake No. 8 - "We can't wait to bring our three German shepherds back with us." Many communities have deed restrictions of some kind. They can be as varied as the number and size of pets allowed, to the ability to park a truck in the driveway. The rules are always spelled out in writing in the form of association documents or zoning ordinances. It pays to find out in advance what they are. Mistake No. 9 - "We don't have any imagination. We have to see it built already." Developers begin selling properties before models are completed, before amenities are built, and sometimes before the first shovel of dirt is moved. Buyers, who have the foresight to look at floor plans and to thoroughly check out the reputation of the builder, can lock in a prime location at the lowest price with complete confidence. By the time models are built, prices will have risen and the best locations are often not available. Mistake No. 10 - "We want to look at everything before we make a decision." In any given month, there are usually thousands of resale homes on the market. In addition, there are almost as many new homes being constructed. It isn't possible to become an expert on everything in the area in a short period of time. So ask. Talk to friends, the person walking his dog, a mortgage broker, or a Realtor. A real estate agent can help by identifying the buyers' needs and wants and narrowing down the search to only those properties and communities that meet those requirements and reflect current market trends. However, buyers who are willing and able to do their own research can find the same properties and make a buying decision that is both a good investment and a home they will enjoy.

The listing states that this 3-bedroom home, and most of the others in its village, date back to the 13th century. Doesn't it look cozy?
It sits on the bank of the River Avon, beside what is described as "the ancient bridge." Does that mean it's been around since the 13th century, too?
All of this history and charm comes with what seems like a very reasonable price tag: £395,000. I'm afraid it won't seem quite as good a deal if we convert that to U.S. dollars, however (so let's not bother).
Want to go in on it with me?

As political arguments both on the podiums and in homes fire up in the United States ahead of the federal election, The Wall Street Journal has released the first full trailer for the upcoming independently produced and pro-Objectivism feature "Atlas Shrugged Part II: The Strike".
The second of a proposed trilogy of films based on Ayn Rand's seminal 1957 novel, the film continues the story where last year's predecessor left off. In a strange move, every single on screen role has been recast so audiences will have to adjust to all new faces for the various characters.
Shot for $20 million, the first film closed up with just $4.6 million in box-office and $2.8 million in disc sales, a disappointment to say the least. The film's failure was one of free-market economics – audiences took a page from Rand's own teachings and, acting in their own self-rational interest, stayed away from it in droves.
Pressing on, producer John Aglialoro has managed to up the budget to $25 million and is timing the release to take advantage of the upcoming election season with the movie set to hit theatres on October 12th.
The trailer itself will play well with some, and seem like a skit from The Onion to others. It portrays the U.S. Government as a well organised and efficient machine that essentially has enslaved the population.
Big business on the other hand are seen as the underdog 'Rebel Alliance' of sorts – kindly, well-groomed, altruistic folk who want to set the populous free and invest in clean energy. Added to the mix is a CG plane crash, anti-capitalist and pro-gun one-liners, uplifting music and a young female entrepreneur fighting for her right to make profit.
It certainly has a "bigger" and more polished feel than the first film, but will it reach beyond the fan base? Only time will tell. The trailer is up at Apple Trailers.

Trail Armor for your Samurai; Part One
Editor: Eric Bewley
Albany, OR – Here at ZUKIWORLD Headquarters we are embarking on a new project Samurai. This new trail vehicle will have such features as turbo power, custom scratch-built axles, roll cage, coil-over suspension as well as other goodies. The first step though is to find some sturdy armor to put on so that our Samurai doesn't end up all wadded up in a ball on the trail. Zuks Off-Road out of Arizona has many solutions for Suzuki trail armor. We are going to install, review and feature their front and rear bumpers, as well as their rock sliders.
Here it is, the beginning of our project. It is a stock 1992 Samurai 4×4 with such features as radio delete and a Mexican blanket for a rear seat cover. It is perfect! Installing the Zuks off-road bumper is a fairly simple affair and you really only need one buddy to help hold it up while you install the bolts. If you are friendless, a floor jack will work.
1. Remove your bumper. Also cut off the outside mounting tabs and tubes that your stock bumper was mounted to right where the tubes meet the main frame.
2. Install the bolts and shoulders / spacers in the manner shown to the right. Leave the bolts flush to the inside of the frame rail. This makes it easier to position the bumper and tap the bolts through. 3. Position frame and tap the top bolts through to hold the bumper. 4. One may have to use a floor jack to get the bumper positioned correctly. 5. Using the supplied hardware, Place the light guard over the indicator light. 6. Position the light behind the bumper and bolt in place. 7. Our bumper had the optional Stinger and uses the factory indicator lights. Zuks Off-Road offers many options for their bumpers including aftermarket lights and several bumper toppings including a "safari" looking bar set and a plain no tube bumper too. 8. Install your winch. 9. Enjoy your new Zuks Off-Road bumper.
As one of the most affordable armor-solutions for your Samurai, the Zuks Off-road bumper presents a good value. It's installation is quite easy and should afford us quite a bit of protection against future trail monsters. With a bit more attention paid to finish detail, this bumper could be at the top of the heap. This is definitely a bumper to consider if you're weighing price and functionality heavily in your build. Stay tuned as we will be bringing you installation and reviews on a rear bumper and the sliders too.

Goodbye sweet maternity leave. May we meet again some day and reunite to the tune of 2 naps a day, playing in the park and wearing ravioli for the whole day. The time has come that I must bid farewell to making dates whenever I want, going on vacation whenever I want, shopping whenever I want (all around the baby's schedule of course). I already have no time to do anything except browse facebook, read magazines, and get mani/pedis, so how on earth will I be able to do that AND work?
Mason has entered such an awesome stage in his life where he is potentially the coolest person I know. He is so honest and innocent and doesn't care who knows it. If he likes you he will lunge into your arms and not even question if you will catch him. He knows you will cause he's already got you whipped. If he doesn't like you or the situation he will stick out his bottom lip and cry in your face. And someone had better rectify the situation cause if not he will reach the point of mental break down and there is no coming back. He is my little parrot baby that is trying his damnedest to say everything that comes out of our mouths (see previous posts regarding trying to censor myself. Still a work in progress). He astonishes us daily with the things he is saying and doing, and it saddens me that someone else will get to see it all day and I won't.
I know in today's society there are very few people that take the plunge into full time mommyhood and stay home with their kids. It takes tremendous courage and many sacrifices to do this, and I am envious and look up to these families. These moms and dads may lose a bit of touch with the adult world for a short while, but what they are gaining is worth so much more. I have looked at my life from a lot of different angles in the last year and have written and re written what feels like 100 budgets to try and make staying home a possibility. No matter how I crunch those numbers they still do not add up to us being able to live comfortably (unless I start pumping and making breast milk cheese and yogurt and selling it around the hood). So alas I am heading back into the workforce. It is coming with a real mixed bag of emotions, but mostly grief. I am grieving the loss of watching my little man all day. I am grieving the loss of play dates with my mommy friends. I am grieving 2 naps a day. This too shall pass.

May 26, 2019 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
2nd July 2015
Nationwide reports house prices dipped 0.2% in June causing year-on-year gains to slow sharply to a 2-year low of 3.3%
The monthly drop follows increases of 1% in April and 0.2% in May, when the yearly rate of inflation was at 4.6%.
However, it still remained significantly off the previous peak of 11.8% in June 2014.
But despite June's dip, house prices rose 1% quarter-on-quarter during the April to end of June period. This was up from an increase of 0.6% quarter-on-quarter in the first three months of 2015.
Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight says: "While we are slightly surprised by June's dip in house prices, it does not fundamentally change our view that house prices are likely to be firmer over the second half of the year amid improving activity. A current shortage of properties on the market is also likely to provide support to house prices."
Archer believes that house prices will rise by 6% over 2015 and by around 5% in 2016.
He noted the latest data and survey evidence indicate overall that housing market activity is on the up, and he suspects that it will continue to improve amid "generally supportive fundamentals and reduced uncertainty following the general election".
Archer added: "Meanwhile, a shortage of properties coming on to the market is currently exerting increasing upward pressure on house prices.
"Nevertheless, the upside for housing market activity and prices is expected to be constrained by more stretched house prices to earnings ratios, tighter checking of prospective mortgage borrowers by lenders and the likelihood that interest rates will start rising gradually from the first quarter of 2016."
Nice to see some reality returning, house price inflation needs to slow further yet to match the RPI of about 1% pa currently, then we will have the beginnings of a sustainable housing market.

HARVEY, La. >> The Latest on the fatal shooting of ex-NFL player Joe McKnight, who was killed during a road rage dispute (all times local):
10:50 a.m.
A sheriff in Louisiana is defending the investigation of a man who fatally shot ex-NFL player Joe McKnight during a road rage dispute.
Authorities say the shooter, Ronald Gasser, was taken into custody, questioned and released after the killing last Thursday. Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand drew heated criticism for allowing Gasser's release.
On Tuesday, a day after Gasser was arrested and charged with manslaughter, the sheriff said Gasser had been released for strategic investigative reasons and because authorities needed to talk to witnesses.
The sheriff angrily said his department had been unfairly criticized, and he said the tone of some of the comments were outrageous. He read some of the criticisms aloud and slammed on the podium a couple of times, showing his frustration with some demands of immediate justice.
8:40 a.m.
The man who fatally shot ex-NFL player Joe McKnight has been arrested and jailed on a charge of manslaughter.
Jail records show 54-year-old Ronald Gasser was arrested late Monday.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand has called a news conference for 10 a.m. Tuesday to discuss the case.
Gasser was released last week without charges pending further investigation of McKnight's death.
Normand said Thursday's shooting was the result of an apparent road rage incident.
When deputies arrived, the sheriff said Gasser handed them his gun and confessed to killing McKnight.
