Sturm hold BATE in Belarus
Tuesday 16 August 2011
Article summary
FC BATE Borisov 1-1 SK Sturm Graz BATE were unable to find a winner after centre-back Marko Simić cancelled out Manuel Weber's early opener for the visitors in Minsk.
Article top media content
Article body
FC BATE Borisov and SK Sturm Graz will resume their UEFA Champions League play-off tie on level terms following a draw in Belarus.
Bidding to reach the group stage for the first time since 2000, Sturm silenced the home crowd inside 12 minutes through Manuel Weber's confident finish. Marko Simić powered in a header just before the hour but Viktor Goncharenko's men must score in Austria in eight days' time to retain any hope of gracing the group stage for the second time.
If BATE were seeking a positive start to erase the disappointment of their shock weekend loss to FC Minsk then the visitors served up more trouble with Weber's opener. Slipped in by Imre Szabics's defence-splitting pass, the Sturm captain advanced into the penalty area and beat Aleksandr Gutor with ease.
A goal down, BATE suffered another setback two minutes later when Vitali Rodionov received a booking which rules him out of the return. Undeterred, the Belarusian champions, who enjoyed 62% possession in the first half, continued with their measured approach play and would have levelled had Yegor Filipenko not missed the target after Dmitri Baga's free-kick dropped kindly.
That was the cue for Szabics to head wide following a swift Sturm counterattack. His chance was followed three minutes before the break by Milan Dudić, all of four metres out, somehow failing to connect with Andreas Hölzl's deep delivery.
Perhaps mindful of that reprieve, BATE began the second half confidently and equalised with their first effort on target, Simić rising unmarked to head in Baga's accurate set piece. Buoyant again, BATE received a reminder of Sturm's threat when Roman Kienast flashed a header across goal. Despite forcing the issue thereafter, the home side were unable to force Sturm goalkeeper Christian Gratzei into his first meaningful save of the night.

Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini told Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, in a letter delivered today that Communism was dead and that he should study Islam.
The Teheran radio said the letter, Ayatollah Khomeini's first major message to a foreign leader, had been handed to Mr. Gorbachev by the Iranian leader's personal envoy, Ayatollah Abdullah Javadi Amoli, who later left Moscow for home.
The radio quoted Ayatollah Khomeini's son and chief aide, Ahmad, as saying the message praised Mr. Gorbachev's boldness in changing the Soviet system.
''It is clear to everyone that Communism should henceforth be sought in world museums of political history,'' Ahmad Khomeini quoted the message as saying. ''Materialism cannot save humanity from the crisis of disbelief in spirituality, which is the basic affliction of human societies in the West and the East.''
The son added, ''Then the honorable Imam asked Mr. Gorbachev to seriously study and research Islam.''
About 50 million Moslems live in the Soviet Union's Asian republics, many of them in areas close to the Iranian border.

Ravishing Reds from butter LONDON./
Tis the month for reds. Between it being the month of love with Valentine's Day and heart awareness month, the color on my mind is red. These reds from butter LONDON are nothing short of ravishing - and I have one of them on my toes right now.
These are my favorite reds:
Out of the five, I must say that La Moss* - a vampy, full of red wine shade, and Chancer*- a crimson red with crushed red glitter, are my favorite of them all. La Moss is beautifully polished on my toes right now, while my daughter chose Chancer for her Valentine's Day manicure.
Each of the butter LONDON lacquers are "3 Free", wear beautifully and sell for $14 each. Look for them at fine salons and online at butterlondon.com.

Taking center stage on ADJ's 2016 LDI booth was the new Vizi BSW 300, an incredibly potent LED-powered hybrid moving head fixture that generates beam, spot and wash effects all from a single fixture. Offering incredible output, thanks to its immense 300W LED engine, the unit boasts a host of advanced features including two 6-facet prisms (one circular and one linear), two GOBO wheels (one with replaceable rotating GOBOs and the other with fixed static patterns) and two indexed color wheels. Following the phenomenal success of ADJ's first LED video panel, the AV6 – which made such a product affordable for many venues and smaller production companies for the very first time – ADJ will use LDI to launch a brand new video product, the AV3. Offering a denser pixel pitch of 3.91mm (compared to 6mm on the AV6), this new LED video panel inherits many of the popular traits of the AV6 but allows a shorter effective viewing distance. Offering impressive brightness of 1000 NITs and a wide viewing angle of 120-degrees, both horizontally and vertically, the AV3 is sure to prove popular for both fixed and temporary installations http://americandj.com/

They offer a 4.8mm (0.19") pixel pitch and brightness of 1200 NITS as well as a wide viewing angle of 160-degrees (horizontal) and 120-degrees (vertical), making them ideal for a wide variety of applications. Next up we have the MOD Series as ADJ's latest range of professional LED Pars. Their modular design means that the LEDs can slide back into the casing to create a snoot that eliminates side glare. There is an optional pearl white housing kit also available. This means that LED Par owners can switch between black or white fixtures, depending on the application, without having to hold inventory of two different types of fixture. Offering a beam angle of 17-degrees, each Par is also supplied with a set of three Frost Filters which can be locked into position in front of the LEDs to widen the beam to an angle of 20-degrees, 40-degrees or 60-degrees. The units come in 4 flavors:
- MOD QW100 (7 x 15W RGBW LEDs)

Their faces are completely homogenized so gone are the days of looking at all those different colored LEDs. The best part is that these fixtures are outdoor rated (IP65) which is great if you are using them for events outdoors. In the Ellipsoidal line they have greatly added to their selection. Most units still use their RGBA-Lime LEDs which give you lots of possibilities for color, but their newer models now boast an output of close to a 750 Watt equivalent HPL lamp!

Chauvet's presence at LDI continues to grow with their line of fixtures for both touring and theatrical applications. The Ovation series has been overhauled a bit and there was some excitement regarding their new features on the Ellipsoidal and Fresnel fixtures. The Ellipsoidals (Ovation- E*****) now have 3 LED versions (260WW, 260CW, and 260 WWIP) that all have a 230 W output that claim to exceed the output of a 750W tungsten source. They are all single source LEDs. They come in Warm White, Cool White and Warm White IP 65 rated. There was also their newOvation E-930VWis a high-performance, variable white ellipsoidal style fixture that utilizes a unique 6-color LED system. This fixture projects a bright, beautifully flat field of light in nearly any temperature of white with high CRI and CQS. Each color temperature can be further adjusted for +/- green to perfect the field of light. For times when a splash of color is needed, the fixture can also give you full control of each color of LED as well. In theirFresnel line, the big news was the Ovation F-915WW. It is a single source, Warm White LED with an output of 230W that is supposed compete with a standard 2K Fresnel's output. It does have a motorized zoom of 27 to 68 degrees. They also have the multi-source/color LED options with a virtual color wheel that matches popular gel options. (RGBA+Lime) The last bit of excitement regarding new fixtures would be the Ovation SP-300CW LED follow spot. It is a single source 260W LED that is quiet, and has all the standard options that you would find on a traditional follow spot. I was also told that this would work well up to a 100ft throw distance. The price point is also quite favorable when compared to its competition. On Chauvet's video wall side, there were two new video panels at LDI: TheF4IPandF3. A high-performance outdoor-rated panel with brilliant SMD, a pixel pitch of 4.8 mm, a refresh rate of 3,840Hz, and high contrast 5,500 NITS, the VIPF4IPdisplays clear crisp images even in broad daylight, making it well-suited for festival applications. The user-friendly IP65-rated panel features magnetic LED modules for quick and easy installation and maintenance. TheF3is a 3.9 mm pitch 1 m x 0.5 m LED video panel is equally suited for installations and rentals. Running on the Novastar control protocol, it also features magnetic LED modules that make it easy to install and service. The panels may be mounted directly on a flat wall, thanks to their front-service option. In moving lights the newMaverick MK Pyxis featured a unique design that includes an outer ring of RGBW LEDs, a powerful zooming center pixel, 360° continuous pan and tilt movement and a host of other performance features, the new fixture produces an seemingly endless array of looks and can fill a variety of roles from beam, to wash, to set piece effect.

Also in the Maverick series is the newMaverick MK2 Profile, the first profile light in the Maverick series. A 440W LED fixture with a high (90+) CRI, the newest member of the Maverick series has been designed to perform a wide variety of functions in theatrical, house of worship, touring, and event applications. With an illuminance of up to 14,981 lux at five meters and a zoom angle of 14° to 36°, the new fixture has the output needed for large venues and the ability to produce a range of beam sizes.

For wash applications there is the Maverick MK3 Washraises the bar on output, color consistency, and pixel effects. Powered by 27 (40 W) Osram RGBW LEDs, it has the muscle to handle any application, including long throw situations with ease.

, NAIROBI, Kenya July 8- INTERIOR Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery is dead.
The CS died at Karen Hospital on Saturday morning after being admitted for check up, according to State House.
"It is with deep sorrow and shock that we announce the sudden passing on of Interior CS Retired General Joseph Nkaissery," said Joseph Kinyua, the Chief of Staff and Head of Public Service who issued a statement.
"He passed on after being admitted for a check-up," he added, "The country to be updated as more information becomes available."
There were no immediate details on the cause of his death.
His last public function was on Friday when he accompanied President Uhuru Kenyatta to Uhuru Park for Saba Saba prayers before holding a series of meetings at his Harambee House office, according to officials privy to his itinerary.
Several Cabinet Secretaries and other top government officials were among those who rushed to the Karen Hospital soon after the announcement—including Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet and CID boss Ndegwa Muhoro.
"It is unfortunate that we have lost the CS," Muhoro told Capital FM News on telephone, "our prayers are with his family."
Nkaissery's death, coming exactly a month to the General Election set for August 8, is a big blow to the nation due to the critical role he was playing in strategizing with top security chiefs to ensure a peaceful election.
State House Spokesman Manoah Esipisu said, "It is very sad indeed, the CS is dead."
Nkaissery was a Member of Parliament until 2014 when he resigned to take up President Uhuru Kenyatta's appointment as Interior Cabinet Secretary to replace Joseph Ole Lenku who was unceremoniously dismissed in the wake of increased insecurity in the country.
He joined politics in 2002 when he retired from the military at the rank of Major General, having served for 29 years.
He was then elected Member of Parliament in 2007, and was later appointed Assistant Minister for Internal Security by former President Mwai Kibaki in 2008-2013.
He was elected to Parliament on an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), before he fell out with the party leader Raila Odinga, when he joined President Kenyatta's government.

Kimchi, Grains + Greens Bowl
Getting healthy, delicious food in my body has been challenging since welcoming baby Braden into the world. Breakfast is ALWAYS coffee and sometimes a bowl of Cheerios or, on really good days, a fried egg on top of avocado toast. After a small snack mid-morning, making lunch for a picky 3-year-old, and managing double nap times, I find a few moments to sit down and realize that I haven't eaten lunch yet. Then the scrounging begins. And that typically means a downward spiral into finding anything that will give me a quick boost of energy.
I have my good days, but not enough of them.
I'm currently vacationing in Minnesota/spending tons of time with family/catching up with friends/introducing Braden to real food/having uninterrupted conversations with my husband/FINALLY get into a post-baby exercise routine/giving the blog some love/taking care of my body while my parents take care of me. All of these things have been good for my soul. It feels like I'm giving myself permission to take care of me. My hope is that by the time I return home, I will be able to develop better habits that will make me work smarter in all areas of my life.
Since food plays such a major role in how I feel, I'm trying to incorporate more simple, whole foods into my diet and removing lots of sugar. I've done this eating-less-sugar-thing before and been extremely happy with the results, both physically and emotionally. After 60 days, I felt amazing and made better choices all around for myself and my family. I'm definitely feeling like I need some help getting back on track, so I'm taking Jacqueline Smith's upcoming Go Sugar Free course for a second time.
One of the many things I LOVE about Jacqueline's course is that I have lifetime access to all of her resources. She shares information that she has selected thoughtfully and purposefully to help educate and empower her students. There are so many reasons why she is a woman I greatly admire. Her dedication and genuine passion for helping others Go Sugar Free is something I am in awe of on a daily basis.
Since becoming involved in GSF, I've become even more committed to providing recipes on Set the Table that are beautiful, delicious and healthy. Lucky for me, that means more creations like this Kimchi, Grains & Greens Bowl I'm sharing today! Whole grain bowls are so easy to throw together and I can always find new combinations that I love (and old standbys that are easy to whip up). This one is made with bulgur, a fast-cooking whole grain, is topped with locally made kale kimchi, homemade pickled radishes, a perfectly soft-boiled egg, and shredded chard from the garden.
Helloooooooo, lunch perfection!
Since this meal doesn't really require a "recipe", I'm providing a formula so you can come up with your own tasty creations based on what you have in your fridge. I promise you can't go wrong if you follow this guide and the countless combinations help keep things interesting.
Here are the main components that will help you build the perfect whole grain bowl:
Your grains could be bulgur, brown rice, quinoa, or farro. Your egg could be fried, poached or soft-boiled. You pickles could be cucumbers, radishes, or onions. Your fermented veggies could be sauerkraut or kimchi. There are so many delicious options, which is why this formula is so wonderful!
These bowls are always so gorgeous and taste as wonderful as they look, which makes it a million times easier to stick with a healthy menu on a daily basis. Some of the most beautiful recipes I've made, including this one, have been the result of all I've learned as a Go Sugar Free student and graduate. As with many things, learning never really stops with letting go of sugar, but that's part of what makes the process so meaningful, rewarding and worthwhile. I think this meal will be joining the list of new favorites that are sure to come out of this next course!
If you don't feel ready to make the commitment yet, feel free to follow me here for delicious recipes that will help you see how delicious going sugar free can be. In the meantime, get your hands on some kimchi and get this bowl of goodness in your belly ASAP!

This trip rocked my world……..
A mother is always wanting to make sure her children are safe and secure. So being a mom, off I traveled to be reassured and see my kids current home in Mexico.
As we left the the tourist area you drive into such areas of poverty! Oh my goodness it's so different from what we are used to! My kids certainly do not live in the tourist areas, they live with the locals. Though they have a small simple apartment with basic necessities, they are very satisfied with what they have. It made me realize their sacrifices they have made for spiritual pursuits.
The sites, sounds and smells of the neighborhood were intriguing by venders calling out selling their wares, bread, water, gas or the dogs barking, howling. I have to mention at this point….that every tiny home has a dog pound in it. On the roofs or popping out at you like a jack in the box barking as you walk by. Scared me to death. That would take some getting used to in service!!!
I was spared being homesick by the appearance of a little kitty recently adopted by the tenants. She would come running as she heard me call or the door opening. She soon loved a warm lap and kitty snacks.
Island life is calming and interesting. One morning we watched as a man trimmed the coconut trees by the apartment. And of course we just had to have some fresh coconuts to eat. Yummy
We have so much even beyond our basic needs. So I learned the lesson of 2 sheets to the wind . When you use the bathroom you use 2 sheets of toilet paper that's it. I'm not sure if it's a plumbing issue or the cost of paper, but it wasn't my usual wadding it up to the size of a baseball.
Food is my next favorite subject. It is so good. So many places to try. The menu doesn't change a lot in variety but little street vendors and restaurants have their own style of flavor. You can tell if their food is good by the long lines of the locals waiting to order. I loved the Gorditas and tortas and homemade chips . A word of caution about their hot sauce. First I have to say "I love hot stuff". But with the first taste the burn is all consuming from the lips then the tongue and cheeks. Followed by the Novocain effect. Is my face drooping?
On a sweeter note ……a dear friend Crystal gave me a cooking lesson on making these Mexican cookies. They remind me of pie crust with sugar in them. Over she came with ingredients to Brandi's and we made up a batch. Of course no measuring😳. Brandi fried them in a skillet as Crystal and I used our fingers to press between a sheet of plastic. Even had a few for my trip home. Lovely memory,😍
The friends are so warm and kind. They are so happy, even those that have difficult circumstances. Some of the friends decided to entertain us at breakfast. And did they ever! Lots of singing , dancing with mariachi musicians. It lasted 2 1/2 hours of fun.
There is an unbelievable need for Kingdom Halls. They have the zeal but not the finances. We …who have the finances can help equalize by donating to help in not just Mexico, but other countries.
So yes ….my kids have sacrificed a lot …..too many to enumerate, but look what they are receiving. A simple life of basic necessities to focus on expanding their ministry. While I feel like I had a break from the rat race….they set a shining example to me to contemplate what do we really need. I am truly humbled. -Dony
Thank you Ma for contributing to the blog. We had a lot of fun showing you around and now you know first hand what we do on a daily basis and some of the adventures we get to experience. One thing that comes to mind is a night that some friends invited us over and you were inquiring about what we are going to do, what we are going to eat, how long do you think we will be there. I remember telling you that it's always an adventure and you just need to give in and go with the flow because we never know what to expect. That is our daily life, go with the flow, don't have expectations.
The other thing you got to experience with us is the constant water issue in our apartment. If it's not the water jug in the water cooler leaking it's coming out of a wall outlet, if it's not that then it's our shower leaking everywhere. There is always water! Everywhere! You learned really quickly that we have a stack of towels dedicated to just water leaks, that way you have a shower towel for the next day.
I know you said we weren't going to talk about the beaches but I have some beach photos to show so here ya go….
You got to experience the fabulous way laundry is done here. Never gets old….
And don't forget the talk of the town, the big news on the island, the boat that got washed ashore during El Norte….
I'm glad you didn't get to experience the Montezuma's revenge like Brandi though.
We miss you and we will see you and the rest of the family in February!

The heart of our life together is offering praise to God, through worship in the Anglican tradition.
Anglican worship is participatory: the whole community is actively involved in the service, through serving in various roles, saying prayers and responses, standing and kneeling, and singing. It's ancient, with patterns and prayers that stretch back hundreds or even thousands of years in Christian history. It's sacramental, which means that we often let actions and objects (like bread, wine, and water) speak louder than words. At Trinity, we also try to make worship beautiful and inclusive. Our gifted choir and musicians, our altar guild, and the cathedral building itself contribute to beautiful worship that touches all the senses, while our greeters and our members make sure to convey that every person who comes to worship is welcome in the name of Christ. Whoever you are, you are most welcome to come worship with us at Trinity.
Our main services happen every Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. At both services, we listen to scripture, hear a sermon, pray for our needs and the needs of the world, celebrate the Eucharist, and receive communion. And at 10:30, we also sing hymns and listen to our one of our choirs. You can view more information on Sundays here.
Contemplative Holy Eucharist
Each Wednesday at 5:45 p.m. we gather for a contemplative, quiet Eucharist in the Cathedral. This time of worship and prayer creates space for silence and stillness in the midst of a busy week. All are welcome to this service in the cathedral on Wednesdays.
Weekday Chapel Services
If you're in the downtown area and looking for a spiritual oasis in the middle of your day, come to one of our weekday eucharists. Services are quiet and spare, and they typically last 20 minutes or less. You can enter our Nativity Chapel through the red door on Capitol Avenue.
Tuesdays 12:10 p.m.
Thursdays and Fridays 12:10 p.m.
We often have special worship services marking the church season or featuring wonderful choral music. There are also opportunities for you to serve in worship. You can browse upcoming events below, or view a complete list here.

text: I've sort of lost a lot of access to Chopsticks. After the house lost power and Chopsticks had to be restarted, the FTP was offline as was the VNC server. I can update the WebPageless blog through MT, and I have another script that allows me to update other files. However, I can't back up the whole site without FTP access. I can't have my dad do it because Chopsticks has no screen, so he'd have to plug in a monitor and go to a lot of work. That wouldn't be easy because it's been raining in my house, which is also the reason why I want to back up WebPageless.

More often than not, bloggers will create a fan page on the social media as well where they have a chance of publishing content from their personal blogs.

It's study time for My Katie, and that means it's also time to create a cozy, comfy, peaceful spot in our home for her to sit and relax with those SAT books.
When Madeline heard my idea, she went and put together a little haven for Katie in my craft room. Using Nancy Geaney's newest and most fabulous quilt (see it? with the awesome blue vintage fringe?!!), Madeline put together a beautiful, Sis Boom Bed so that Katie and her friends could study the night away.
Thank you, Nancy, for creating such a beautiful piece... it completes our study room makeover for sure!!

Ulster Bank has issued a statement this evening encouraging any customers who are experiencing financial difficulty to contact the bank as soon as possible.
The bank has begun to send out repossession notices to residential homeowners who are in arrears.
It comes just days after the Government announced new measures to tackle the mortgage arrears crisis - promising that repossessions would only be used as a last resort.
Ulster Bank said it continues to contact and communicate with its customers who are in mortgage arrears and remains committed to working with any of its customers to find a solution on a case-by-case basis.
The Irish Independent reports that Ulster Bank repossessed around 200 homes last year, but that figure could rise to 1,000 this year.
United Left Alliance TD Joan Collins is now calling on the Central Bank to intervene.

Cannabis conference in the heart of Europe
Last week praguepot attended a medical marijuana conference in Prague. Four days of science and activism was our idea of an adult Disneyland! We got to see the relationship between cannabis and evolving scientific evidence supporting the claim that pot is in fact medicine. The major conflict of the conference was between pharmaceutical standards for production and dosing of medicine and the reality that cannabis is a natural herb with varying potencies and properties.
Big pharmaceutical actors are rushing to break cannabis down into their various compounds. Synthetic THC and CBD are individually tested on poor lab rats and then people. Individually these chemicals can have positive and negative effects. The only really negative talk of the conference was about the effects of synthetic cannabinoids. Spice or K2 as it is sometimes known can be lethally dangerous for people. After a couple of exposures to synthetic cannabis some unlucky people have had severe kidney problems. I won't go all geeky on you with the science but basically some of the synthetic chemicals cause inflammation which can lead to kidney failure.
When I pointed out to a politician attending the conference that pot prohibition leads some people to smoke synthetic cannabis and risk very real health dangers, he just shrugged. Until cannabis is legal the system's hands are tied. So why isn't cannabis legal? Well, I am afraid we are caught in a frustrating situation. Real scientific evidence is missing from the argument. Synthetic chemicals have been examined. In fact most of the scare stories we have been reading over the last decade or two have been based on the studies of these synthetic experiments. Doing scientific research on pot is very difficult because no two plants have the exact same chemical make up. Even on one plant, different bud sites will have slightly different THC and CBD levels. This is a nightmare for well intentioned scientists seeking to examine the plant. It looks like our favorite herb will need a whole new way of testing before it can be cleared by science.
This is at the heart of the hold up. Science can't give a clear answer to law makers, so law makers can't easily give the green light to legalization for fear of being blamed for a zombie apocalypse. While scientists can't give clear data on cannabis, the herb is widely expected to revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry. Bullish scientists spoke of half of all medication commonly prescribed being replaced by some form of cannabis. This is amazing news for citizens. Getting the medicine you need in a non toxic form will only promote health. For big pharma however, it is their worst case scenario. A new, sensible approach to cannabis is required. There are thousands of different strains with slightly different medical applications. It is time to let Mother Nature have a chance to heal the masses. This is an exciting moment in history. The reintroduction of nature into medicine. Yes, it is a little messy, but when you use cannabis to treat an illness, you don't get harmful side effects.
