Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & lawman
In a time when 64K was considered a massive memory and 3D games were laughable (even then), too now with the likes Medal of honor and being able to buy from someone on the other side of the planet from your living room.
These were all things that I used to dream of as a kid all of which are now reality.
The question is whats in the next ten years?
Computers will continue to get faster, programmers will correspondingly continue to get lazier with their code ;-)
I'll have IPO'd my web company, enjoying a lavish lifestyle on my yacht in the bahama's whilst winning the Gizmo Quiz for the 9th year running via sattelite uplink from my RolexTM Surftime diamond encrusted watch-browser.
Actually I can scrub that last pipedream whilst Lisa's still around
I am hoping for some kind of link with supermarkets so I can just order my shopping from a control panel in the fridge. And a new port that can deliver pizza straight to you...mmm :-)
More generally, since the internet is a network of networks, just look out for what things people are networking together on their own. Then imagine these networks connected to everything else.
For the totally paranoid, check out Frederic Brown's 1954 short story Answer. (The year is not a misprint. Science fiction predicts everything.)
Today? How many ways can you truly repackage e-mail and information before it becomes useless?
I think the current trend towards bloat in software, web content, etc... in the name of so-called "progress" is going to grow to the point where the internet may just collapse upon itself.
Didn't I see already on TV a while ago an internet-connected fridge that re-ordered food as needed? Now all I need is self-cleaning fridge, one that throws out the suspicious looking jar lurking in the shadows at the back...
Or networked to the sofa maybe :-)
Now imagine that same house, the computer is infected with a virus, turned into a zombie, or simply taken down by some security flaw.
No thanks....if I was paid a million dollars I wouldn't put my family in something like that.
Everybody on webmasterworld is talking about making their site looks good in the lynx browser, since apparently 32% of surfers these days use it exclusively. NN4 is still at 1%. Webmasters keep on complaining about Google and being 'stuck in the permafrost.'

I had heard somewhere of Internet2 being visioned or developed?
It's already being used - more info:
The primary goals of Internet2 are to:
- Create a leading edge network capability for the national research community
- Enable revolutionary Internet applications
- Ensure the rapid transfer of new network services and applications to the broader Internet community.
Anyone have the faintest idea of what they're talking about? Anyone believe that they have the fainest idea what they're talking about?
It sounds like managementspeak to me.

Well, there seems to be a few people visiting my first little foray into the blogosphere each day, or so says that free little counter I threw up here, but if I could trouble you to do so (and I don't know if I'm violating blog etiquette by asking) would you leave me a comment? If you like what I'm saying, or ESPECIALLY if you don't like what is being said, let me know. It is my hope that with a little humor, and a little insight, this could be a place to discuss ideas that people like you and I find interesting. I'm not asking for a novel, but I am writing for an unseen audience, and my only reward is feedback. Define me! Validate me! Make this insecure little only child feel the love.
Or the hate.
Just write something.
(and thanks to the people who have already left comments, your insights and commentary are appreciated)

Oh, I totally know how you feel!! If you're going to ready the blog, then please leave a tag line of some sort. Otherwise, it can be so discouraging to keep writing out to cyperspace. So here's my message to you - I love that you're doing a blog now. It's one way that I feel connected to friends who live far away. And I loved your two messages on my blog - it made me laugh and remember your great humor! And, I like your political entries; I think we agree on politics more than you and Dave, so maybe through your blogs I can gain some more ammunition against Dave's political ideas. So, keep on blogging! :)

"Arguing doctors and no real treatment given"
About: Royal Oldham Hospital Royal Oldham Hospital Oldham OL1 2JH
Posted via NHS Choices
I visited my own doctors surgery with my 22mth old baby. She had an unmanageable fever and wasent drinking and urinating. My doctor sent us straight to Oldhams children's observation unit. We then got seen by a nurse and was given some oral fluids and a urine pot to get a sample of my child's urine ( if I could get her to have fluids I wouldn't of been there) we were then left for two hours without being seen again. During this time and seeing as nothing was happening with my child, it's was getting late and she was getting very tired we decided we would take her home and get her seen by our doctor again in a few hours when the surgery opened. We was then threatened with a report to social care for removing our daughter as they still hadn't found the cause of her high fever. We agreed for the doctor to see her, we were then confronted with a doctor and registrar whom were arguing at our daughters bedside over who should be seeing her. We then got sent home with the exact same things we were doing at home, which hadn't worked at reducing her fever and still no known cause for her high fever and treatment for her dehydration. Our gp saw her the next morning and we are now under the care of the community nurses. I feel the only people committing child neglect was intact the hospital, yes I appreciate that kids do need protecting, but seriously if I was neglecting my child I'm not going to take her to hospital am I. Oldham hospitals children services is the most incompetent unprofessional place I have ever been. I will be travelling to the next town next time my child needs hospital care

The Bustling Beehive is a symbol of industry, and Deseret (the beehive state-Utah) is another name for beehive (from the Book of Mormon). Roses are a reference to the prophecy in Isaiah 35 "the desert shall blossom as the rose." In the language of flowers, hollyhocks symbolize ambition and fruitfulness, and daisies represent patience and cheerfulness. These were all qualities the pioneers needed to make Deseret blossom as the rose. This quilt was featured as "His Works- My Blessings" in the 2012 LDS International Art Competition and the March 2013 issue of The Ensign. The block finishes to about 17″ and will be one of 9 applique blocks, 4 tree of life blocks, pieced setting triangles, and borders that make up the entire quilt. It can also be used as a pillow top, if desired. The full pattern is being released on a block-of-the-month basis, so you can create your own museum piece.

Jakarta, Indonesia (PressExposure) June 05, 2013 -- With the support from the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of Republic of Indonesia, Burufly today announces 100 finalists and five winners of the Explore the Beauty of Indonesia photo competition. With this photo competition Burufly aims to share with the world the beauty of this nation as well as to introduce various domestic tourism destinations to the people of Indonesia. The top 100 photos will be exhibited for one full month in Plaza Indonesia - eX. Five winners will be awarded with a group trip to hunt photos and explore the nature of Lombok.
Burufly is the first travel social media in Indonesia generating its content from its users (user-generated content UGC). This site is developed to promote the tourism in Indonesia, where this media will echo the beauty of Indonesia, which is not limited to Bali, but also many other tourism destinations from Sumatra to Papua, for the people of Indonesia and the international community to explore. Through their portal, [http://www.burufly.com] has some big data, with several digital findings in regards to travel demand, which they are also releasing today.
Peter Goldsworthy, CEO and Founder of Burufly explains, Indonesia has an abundance of tourism assets, but unfortunately its tourism potential is not yet maximized. We are initiating this photo competition to invite the people to contribute and show the beauty of Indonesia through their lens. We are hoping that this initial step will move domestic and international tourists to pack their bags and explore all of Indonesia.
Responding positively to the photo competition program initiated by Burufly, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of Republic of Indonesia states, This is the realization of a good awareness movement from the private sector. Indonesia has many beautiful tourism destinations that are not yet on the radar for international tourists. Therefore, we truly expect that there will be other private players who will help us to succeed the governments tourism program, be it to the people of Indonesia, as well as to the international community.
Selecting five winners for this photo competition is not easy. Not one photo submitted to the competition is uninspiring. All photos are able to interpret the beauty of Indonesia through their own lens, explained Indra Leonardi, owner of King Foto.
We are proud to support Burufly photo competition, which is also supported by Indonesia Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. We truly believe that Indonesias tourism industry still has so many potentials for growth. Hence, we are participating by sending five winners for five days and four nights to explore and capture the beauty and the culture of Lombok, said Gomi Mutsumi, President Director of H.I.S Travel Indonesia
Zamri Mamat, General Manager Marketing Communication of Plaza Indonesia, We are happy to also help push forth this domestic tourism program through this photo competition. We are hoping that the exhibition of the photos from 100 finalists will give visual insights to our visitors about the beauty of Indonesia.

Seo course in telugu
Whenever you create a new website or blog for your business, the first thing you probably want to happen is have people find it. And, of course, one of the ways you hope they will find it is through search. But typically, you have to wait around for the Googlebot to crawl your website and add it (or your newest content) to the Google index.
What is Googlebot, Crawling, and Indexing?
Submit Website URL to Search Engines – Some people suggest that you don't do this simply because there are many other ways to get a search engine's crawler to your website. But it only takes a moment, and it certainly doesn't hurt things. So submit your website URL to Google by signing into your Google Account and going to the Submit URL option in Webmaster Tools. For extra credit, submit your site to Bing. You can use the anonymous tool to submit URL's below the Webmaster Tools Sign In – this will also submit it to Yahoo.
- Use as much text as possible and this fact is key: Search spiders do not see what an image looks like, so describe it with words, and don't forget to use your key phrases.
- After getting indexed by Google, increase the number of websites that link to your website and create more unique content to improve your website rankings.
- You can also submit your site map to the other top search engines but check the resources to find out how to do that for each specific search engine. They all are different.
- Always use specific keywords and not a broad one (such as "fashion", "internet", "sports", etc) in optimizing your website.
- Make sure the proper "doctype" tag is at the top of the source code of each page.
- Google Site maps provides a number of statistics about your website. You can use it to know how Google and people find your site. It is very useful to help you improve your website content. Consult the Google Site maps help for more information about this.
- Generate and resubmit your site map file every time you make changes to your website. By resubmitting, you can always tell Google about your changes. Consult the Google Site maps help for more information of how to do this.

Most people who call me about setting up a headshot session don't exactly know what questions to ask. Of course, I always get the basic question "how much does the session cost?" And, even though it's important, wether you are having a session with me or not, several other factors need to be considered when looking for a headshot photographer.
Most good headshot photographers shoot 200-300 photos per session. That allows for various clothing changes to take place so that you have several angles and natural expressions of each change.
Tip - If the headshot photographer shoots more than 500 photos-RUN
2. How long does the photo session last?
Most professional photo sessions should last (approx) 2 hours for men and 3 to 4 hours for women. Woman's sessions are more meticulous in nature because of hair and makeup.
Tip - Bring lots of music and extra strong coffee.
3. What should I wear and how many looks can I bring?
You want to look for someone who allows you a few outfit changes so you can have different looks for various auditions. You can be business casual or sporty and casting agents as well as managers want to know that. I usually tell my clients to bring a suitcase full of outfits that make them feel GREAT.
Tip - Bring solid colors with little patterns. The session is about you and not Calvin Klien.
4. Do I need hair and makeup for the shoot?
Maggie Flanigan, my former acting teacher, used to say to all of the women that they have to look beautiful as well as be extremely talented. Men can wake up and book a job women have to fight for one. For women I say yes and for men I say no.
Tip - Don't do your own hair and makeup. The photo shoot is about you feeling and looking great. There is something magical about having someone pamper you.
5. Will you direct me during the shoot?
A headshot photographer is not just a photographer. He or she is an artist who tries to bring out the truthful expressions that are within. Technically once my studio is set up my photos will look great but without the right angles and natural expressions your photos won't sell you.
Tip - Practice facial expressions by moving your mouth, eyes and eyebrows.
6. How long until I can view my pictures?
Most photographers have a turn around time of 24 to 48 hours. I follow Peter Hurley's method of showing my clients the photos before the session is complete that way the session becomes participatory and you don't have to go home wondering.
Tip - Don't look at what you consider your flaws, rather look for the truth in the photo.
7. How long until I get a copy of my pictures from my photo session?
Depending on the photographer it can take up to 2 weeks to get a disc to you. However you just need to get an online portfolio to get started on narrowing down your favorites.
Tip - Don't cut your hair after the session.
8. How much does the headshot session cost?
I saw a headshot session for $29 on Craigslist the other day and I know people who charge $1100. They are both worth the money if you think about what you pay for. You can view my rates here.
Tip - Feel comfortable with whoever you shoot with. Headshot sessions are a collaborative work.
9. Where can I print copies of my headshots?
When it comes to printing headshots Reproductions is the best. The good news is that with online submissions you don't need to print as many as before. There are several places that you can get your headshots printed if Reproductions is out of your budget. Click here to view the others photo printing places here.
Tip - Don't print your own headshots on your home printer.
10. Do you photoshop any of the photos as part of the package?
Some headshot photographers touch up a few photos after the session and others recommend places that do it. I touch up 2 to give you a commercial headshot and theatrical headshot.
Tip - Know who is touching up your photos. You didn't just spend hundreds of dollars on a photo session for some bad photoshop job.
Until tomorrow.

I've used these in several place with different routers (including Netgear) - never had a problem. You could try changing the socket used at the back of the router, but my bet is that, despite what the shop says, that the one you're plugging into the router is faulty. Do you know anyone local where you could prove this by plugging the homeplug into a different router?
p.s. If your user name is also your email, be prepared for loads of spam. I'd change your name sharpish!

Published to coincide with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Forbes 400, All the Money in the World, the work of a team of prominent editors and business writers, goes behind the celebrated list to paint a vivid and revealing portrait of the wealthiest Americans of the past quarter century. Abundantly anecdotal, with insights gleaned from original research, interviews with Forbes 400 members, and never-before-compiled data, it is filled with illuminating "infographics". This book shows how the superrich succeed, how fortunes are made in various industries, and how, once made, they are saved, enhanced, and sometimes squandered.From Wall Street to the West Coast, from blue-collar billionaires to blue-blood fortunes, from the Google guys to hedge fund honchos, All the Money in the World gives us the lowdown on, among other things: the all-time richest Americans, who made and lost the most money in the past 25 years, the fields and industries that have produced the greatest wealth, the biggest risk takers, the most competitive players, the most wasteful family feuds, the trophy wives, the most conspicuous consumers, the biggest art collectors, the most and least generous philanthropists.
Produced in collaboration with Forbes magazine, All the Money in the World is a vastly entertaining, behind-the-scenes look at today's Big Rich, a subject of enduring fascination to all Americans.

Interesting Coffee Fodder, Although Quite Looooong
Mind-blowing how billions can be made and lost. Definitely stretched my context for the money that's available in this world.
Also found myself a little saddened when hearing how certain trust-fund babies (and wives, ex-wives, family members, etc) live their entire lives in and out of court squabbling over big-time money in the event of a magnate's death.
Although the big money would be great, is that really any way to live life? Never certain that your money is yours because someone may come and sue you for it? Having difficultly focusing on your business, work, family, friends, etc, because there's non-stop warfare and countless lawsuits spanning decades over the family warchest? Where's the peace of mind that you actually get to enjoy the money and sleep tight and night? Ugh. Saddening.
Plus, is that really what humans are on this earth to do, is fight in court non-stop? I hope not. Sad, but true that this kind of thing happens all the time, including right now in some courtroom.
Lamenting all of this makes it seem like the book is only a downer. Not true. I really dug other parts of the book, including the exploration on what helped the billionaires make their money in the first place. Fascinating!
Plus the discussion of the Buffet family, and Warren's COLOSSAL donation to the Gates Foundation... WOW WOW WOW.
I recommend this as a high Tier-2 business / marketing / money / self-help kind of book. Not a Tier 1 book like "Good to Great" (Jim Collins) or any of the classics like "How to Win Friends and Influence People" (Dale Carnegie). But a solid choice if you listen / read many books in this genre and are looking to round out your education / context further.
His narration allowed me to not notice his narration... I could focus on the content.
Not a chance... it's a monster.

Having a toddler always means power struggles. A main focus of my work with helping families feed their children from infancy to their teenage years is to take the power struggle out of food.
A big aspect of this is removing all forms of pressure, including hidden vegetables. After all, how would you feel if someone hid something in your food? I know I'd be upset! I like to empower kids with choices from what is offered.
Here are a few tips:
In short, it's about building trust. Removing the power struggles from food choices is so important. Don't deceive children about vegetables being in a dish. If a pureed soup has different vegetables in it and your kids enjoy it, they may not even realize they like these vegetables if they aren't told what they're eating. In fact, deception can backfire — children won't eat something again just out of spite, or they won't eat a vegetable because they don't know they like it.
If a child tries a new food and doesn't like it, it's fine to spit it out. Just teach them a polite way to do so. Knowing they have the option to spit it out can encourage them to try more. It takes 15-20 times of trying a food to decide you actually like it so it might take a lot of spitting it out before they know whether they like it or not. As long as you provide the option to try vegetables in their own time, it will happen. Don't lose patience, and don't lose hope.
My best advice: don't worry! It won't be like this forever. When people are really concerned I work with them to look at ways pressure can appear and power struggles develop. We go through their diet to ensure their child is getting necessary nutrients or to find alternatives that the child accepts.
Remember, kids have different eating patterns. This is normal.
Despite research that claims a recent improvement, childhood obesity remains a prominent problem which has not declined in the last decade. Unfortunately, many parents unknowingly fuel their child's unhealthy habits.
Children who are heavy prove more likely to develop serious health risks like high blood pressure, diabetes, and an early death sentence. Even if children are able to lose the weight, personalized health care plan doctors have found that they are often more susceptible to these health risks later on in life.
These five tips will help to fight against childhood obesity, giving them a long healthy life.
1. TV Time
Television has taken over the world with its entertaining escape from reality. However, too much TV can have a powerful impact on children's obesity.
In a study of obese children, 90 percent had been exposed to television as a brand new baby, while 50 percent were active participants, placed in front of television by their parents. As children grow older, if they are used to spending hours in front of a television, they will lose interest in other activities that could help them to become active and healthy.
2. Role Model
Children learn from example. If they see Mom and Dad vegging out in front of the TV, eating poorly, or ignoring their health, they will most likely follow this set pattern. Kids love to be just like their parents, and with parents setting an influential example of health, kids are likely to adopt this model. Habits that begin when children are young are likely to persist as they age. Depending on the habit, this can be a good thing or a bad thing.
3. Nutrition
No matter how busy life gets, the importance of eating a well balanced diet can never be reiterated enough. Even though a drive-thru meal might be more convenient, it can have serious consequences on a child's body.
Good nutrition starts with the most important meal of the day: breakfast. Children need breakfast—and a nutritious one at that—to perform well in school. Whether it is a whole grain cereal, which has been linked to lowering BMI, toast, eggs, etc., breakfast should be high in protein and low in sugar. It will keep children alert throughout the school morning while adding nutrients to their growing bodies.
4. Get Outside
Too often children are allowed to spend more time inside playing with electronics than outside exercising. While occupying a child with a video game or tablet sometimes seems like the easiest thing to do, it might be hurting the child's overall health.
Children need to spend time outside playing, using their imagination, socializing with neighborhood kids, and being active. Activity not only helps to prevent obesity; it also stimulates creativity and cognitive function.
5. Be Honest
While kids should certainly not be obsessing over their weight, they should recognize and understand the importance of health. Along with showing them what to do, talk openly and often about making good food choices and setting an exercise routine. Educate yourselves together by researching good health habits and setting family goals.
Children need a health precedent set for them, and the best people to advise them are definitely their own parents.

Another news article pops up on my feed.
I click the link.
My heart races.
My anxiety skyrockets.
This is what my life has been for the past six months. Maybe more. Moments of panic, 'what if's. There is no ease, only question after question as I work my way through. Finally clicking the little 'x' at the top right corner, I slam my computer shut and walk away. Enough is enough.
Our world has become this place of complete fear. I can't remember if it's ever been this bad. Every day, there's something new. Something terrible. Something no one wants to read, or hear, or witness.
Social media has become a place of darkness…insane news articles, political posts that almost ALWAYS cause some sort of distress to others….when will it stop?
The other week, I decided to take a short break from Facebook (probably not long enough). It's amazing how this source of connection can cause so much disconnection, so much anxiety, so much hate, and so much pain.
Before I started writing this blog entry, I just sat here looking at my computer screen. How do you find words to describe such intricate feelings that you've never felt before?
My heart breaks for our world. It truly does. Each and every day, when I hear of something going on within our world, I choke up and the pieces of my heart that are already broken become smaller.
Where is the hope? Where is the love? Where is the light?
It is hard to see it, isnt it? When so much bad is going on in the world-so much bad that it blankets everything known to man-it's hard to see the light.
But it's out there. I know it is. It's the people who stood in line for hours to donate blood after the Orlando tragedy, its the people who stand in silent peaceful protest…it's there. Why can't I feel it?
As a society, I believe it's our job to be the light. It's our job to do good, to be good, to act with kindness and truth in our hearts. There is not nearly enough of this stuff in our world right now. Everyone is currently on their high horse on this or that and we're literally losing it.
So let's be the light. Let's be the people who change this darkness. Let's give hope a chance.
Do something kind for someone you know, or someone you don't know. Say something kind. Give a hug. Smile at a stranger (Lord, do we need more of that). Lend a helping hand when you see someone struggling. Lovingly respond to a friends post on social media. And I challenge you to only post things that will produce happiness.
Let's overpower this. Let's defeat the dark. Let's stand in the light and shine into the world with our hearts wide open.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: gas tank on 2002 Jaguar Vanden Plas
i cant seem to pull gas tank out far enough to replace fuel pump? does the rear seat need to come out,so i can push it? seems to be hanging up in the middle?,with the key on,should i be able to hear the pump? not sure if its filter or pump bad?
if it is like a 99 vanden plas, you have to drop the rear end (diferential and brace) to disconnect the lines and then tank can be pulled out from trunk.
fuel tank has two lines at the bottom. these are your pressure and return lines. they need to be released before tank will come out. late model jags will require a special tool to release hoses. any 3/8 trans./fuel line insert type tool will work (parts store). mark lines so they go back where they came out of. good luck, this job sucks. ps: lines will need to be released from underneath vehicle. ABOVE DIFFERENTIAL.

New Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre
Aberdeen City Council signed legal agreements on Monday 21 December 2015 for a multimillion-pound new Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC) for the north-east.
Members of the Planning Development Management Committee backed the AECC proposals as part of the wider £333million complex on the site of the Rowett Research Institute at Bucksburn on December 10.
Council Leader, Councillor Jenny Laing, said: "I am delighted to mark another important step in the process of delivering a new Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC).
"This will be an important facility not just for the city, but the whole north-east region, and will attract bigger names in the entertainment world as well as larger conferences and events to Aberdeen."
The new AECC, which will be located off the A96 near Aberdeen International Airport, will be built by Aberdeen City Council's development partner Henry Boot Developments Ltd. It is due to open in late 2018.
The new centre will:
- Provide four times the current exhibition space
- Double the seated entertainment arena to 10,000
- Floor space of 45,000sqm, with underground space of 33,600sqm for additional exhibition space for major events
- Include retail, leisure and restaurant

- Lead to an additional £11m of visitor spend per annum
- Deliver £63 million additional net GVA to the Scottish economy
- Create more than 350 full-time jobs by year 10 of operation
- Elevate Aberdeen into the top 5 of global competitor energy cities for conferences and exhibitions.
- 200-bedroom four-star hotel which will connect to the AECC at ground floor
A separate application for planning permission in principle to build approximately 498 residential units with commercial space, a recycling centre and a park and ride facility on the existing AECC site at Bridge of Don, was also approved. The plans have been approved conditionally, with permission to be withheld pending suitable arrangements to secure affordable housing and developer contributions relating to primary education, community facilities, sports and recreation, open space and the Strategic Transport Fund.
For more information please visit: AECC Evolves
In conjunction with a range of community partners, we are looking to develop and build a new Community Hub in Tillydrone. The detail of what the hub will comprise of is still being developed, but it may include a range of local services to support the community, for example: learning and educational programs; social space to support building social networks; access to local services; training and employment support; community café; health and wellbeing services; and suitable space for activities for people of all ages. Updates will follow in due course.
We are currently developing housing options and plans for environmental improvements to help with the regeneration of Middlefield, including re-housing of tenants and reallocation of community facilities.
Looking at additional refurbishment and environmental improvement programmes with our housing stock and associated land.
Transforming lives with music Aberdeen City Council has signed a Partnership Agreement with Sistema Scotland to establish Big Noise Torry in 2015. The six year programme has helped Torry become the third community in Scotland to establish a Big Noise orchestra inspired by Venezuela's "El Sistema" movement.
The new orchestra aims to transform children's lives and the wider Torry community, fostering confidence, teamwork, pride and aspiration. The Orchestra made its debut on Monday 29th June 2015, with a summer club taking place for children who have just left Primary 2. The club is open to pupils from Walker Road and Tullos Primary Schools, or children who live in Torry but go to school elsewhere.
After the summer the children, then in P3, will be invited to attend After-School sessions running three days a week. As Big Noise Torry grows there will eventually be a pathway from babies through to adults learning music together.

Manners & morals October 2016
On Thomas Merton's vision of transcendence through faith.
Every year, thousands of people travel, as I did recently, to the Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani, a monastery set in the rolling hills of Kentucky, to immerse themselves in a world wholly at odds with modern life. The visitors are not all Christians, nor even religiously inclined, but many come and stay for days hoping to adopt, if only for a brief stretch of time, the contemplative way of life that has attracted monks to monasteries for thousands of years—a life defined by silence, constraint, and meditation.
The monks at Gethsemani belong to the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, a monastic community known for the rigor of its contemplative way of life. Trappists, as they are called, remain silent, speaking only when necessary. They fast regularly and are constantly engaged in prayer and meditation, whether in church where they pray the seven offices of the Liturgy of the Hours each day, or in their cells reading scripture, or in the fields where they work.
A life defined by silence, constraint, and meditation.
In 1941, a man much like today's pilgrims traveled to Gethsemani for a silent retreat. He was twenty-six years old and was working as an English teacher at the time. Several months after his retreat, he quit his job, returned to Gethsemani, and spent most of the remainder of his life there as a monk. When he first arrived at Gethsemani as a young man in 1941, he was an unknown seeker. He planned to remain anonymous, cloistered in the monastery for the duration of his life. But by the time he died in 1968, Thomas Merton had become one of the most influential Christian apologists and spiritual writers of the twentieth century.
Like most people, Merton led a life stretched between the competing demands of the sacred and the profane. In his autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain, Merton tells the story of his path to monasticism. True freedom, he realized during that journey, paradoxically requires restraint and discipline; the monastic life, rather than the dispersions of modern life, was his avenue to this goal.
Born in 1915, Merton grew up in France, England, and the United States. His mother died when he was a boy, and his father when he was a teenager. Suddenly on his own, Merton was free to live his life as he chose. After his father's death, his "rebellion began," writes Paul Elie in The Life You Save May Be Your Own; he was now "independent, accountable to nobody but himself." Or, as Merton put it, "I became the complete twentieth-century man."
Though Merton was baptized in the Church of England and attended Catholic and Anglican schools, he grew up to be religiously agnostic. In high school, he defiantly refused to recite the Apostles' Creed during chapel and found faith instead in "pamphlets and newspapers." He fancied himself an intellectual and acted like it. In college, he dabbled in Communism, became a pacifist, wrote for literary publications, flirted with a lot of women, drank a lot of alcohol, and read a lot of D. H. Lawrence.
But his freewheeling lifestyle failed to bring him fulfillment. "If what most people take for granted were really true—if all you needed to be happy was to grab everything and see everything and investigate every experience and then talk about it," he wrote, "I should have been a very happy person, a spiritual millionaire, from the cradle even until now." What he was, though, was a shallow young man with an inner life that was a mess of raging appetites and desires.
His life, he came to believe, reflected the chaos of the times. "Free by nature, in the image of God," he wrote, "I was nevertheless the prisoner of my own violence and my own selfishness, in the image of the world into which I was born. That world was the picture of Hell, full of men like myself, loving God, and yet hating him; born to love him, living instead in fear of hopeless self-contradictory hungers."
During these formative years, Merton felt the pull of a countervailing force to his libertinism. When he was eighteen, he traveled by himself to Rome, where he was most moved not by the ruins of the classical world, but by the holy sites of Christendom. Church art, in particular, stirred him with its "spiritual vitality" and service to "higher ends." These works began to effect a spiritual conversion in him. When he returned to his room in the evenings after wandering from church to church, he put away his modern literature and began reading the gospels. "Soon, I was no longer visiting them merely for the art," he said of the churches: "There was something else that attracted me: a kind of interior peace."
His freewheeling lifestyle failed to bring him fulfillment
One night in his room, Merton had a transcendent experience. He felt the presence of his father and "was overwhelmed with a sudden and profound insight into the misery and corruption of my own soul." He prayed to God to help free him from "the thousand terrible things that held my will in their slavery."
The trip to Rome turned into a pilgrimage. The newly humbled Merton began now to pray at the churches he visited rather than merely admire their art. And, one day, as he was exploring the quiet grounds of a monastery in the holy city, a fanciful thought struck him: he wanted to become a Trappist monk.
It would be several years before Merton would "shake the iron tyranny of moral corruption that held my whole nature in fetters." After a dissolute year at Cambridge—where it seems that he fathered an illegitimate child—Merton transferred to Columbia in New York to complete his college and graduate education. At Columbia, his religious curiosity blossomed thanks, in part, to the mentorship of professors like Mark Van Doren and the guidance of friends like the poet Robert Lax. One day, he stumbled on a book of Catholic theology, The Spirit of Medieval Philosophy by Étienne Gilson, and its depiction of God as Being appealed to him.
But it was reading about the life of the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins—who converted to Catholicism as a student at Oxford and later became a priest—that pushed Merton over the edge and inspired him to convert. Merton received baptism as a Catholic in 1938 and decided he wanted to become a priest, as Hopkins had. The following year, he sought advice from Daniel Walsh, his former teacher at Columbia. Walsh, a professor of philosophy, told Merton about the different religious orders within Catholicism. He also mentioned a Trappist monastery in Kentucky that he once visited on a retreat. This was the first time Merton heard of Gethsemani.
About two years after their conversation, Merton visited the monastery during Easter week 1941. The experience made a profound impression on him. The "whole place," he wrote, "was as quiet as midnight and lost in the all-absorbing silence and solitude of the fields. Behind the monastery was a dark curtain of woods, and over to the west was a wooded valley, and beyond that a rampart of wooded hills, a barrier and a defence against the world."
Merton spent several days at the monastery in silence, prayed the Liturgy of the Hours with the brothers each day, and read theology. It was awe-inspiring. "The silence," he wrote, "the solemnity, the dignity of these Masses and of the church, and the overpowering atmosphere of prayers so fervent that they were almost tangible choked me with love and reverence that robbed me of the power to breathe. I could only get the air in gasps." The monks, he saw, turned themselves toward God at every waking moment of the day. "You have nothing to do" at the monastery, he wrote, "but lament your separation from Him, and pray to Him." This, to the young Merton, was "paradise."
One day during the retreat, he noticed a postulant dressed in secular clothes praying among the monks. Several days later, Merton saw the same man now dressed in white habits, practically indistinguishable from the other monks. This man had, in a way, died: "The waters had closed over his head," Merton wrote, "and he was submerged in the community. He was lost. The world would hear of him no more. He had drowned to our society and become a Cistercian." Unlike in the modern world, Merton realized, where excellence is defined by standing out and attracting attention, in the monastic world excellence is defined by one's obscurity. The more a person's individuality has been destroyed, the closer he is to the higher reality that he seeks. Merton concluded that he, too, wanted to die in this manner.
The modern world, Merton realized, was not for him.
The morning Merton left the monastery, he felt "like a man that had come down from the rare atmosphere of a very high mountain." The world at the foot of that mountain—the ordinary world—now seemed to him "insipid and slightly insane." Compared to the purity and simplicity of monastic life, it was strange for him to see "people walking around as if they had something important to do, running after busses, reading the newspapers, lighting cigarettes. How futile their haste and anxiety seemed."
The modern world, he realized, was not for him. In December of 1941, several months after his retreat, he returned to Gethsemani—and this time stayed for good. There, he led a monotonous life. Each day consisted of the same routines: He chanted the Divine Offices in the monastery's church with his brothers, prayed in solitude at various points in the day, and worked on the monastery's grounds scrubbing floors, chopping wood, and engaging in other tasks. He lived in an austere cell; ate plain meals; and within several weeks of joining the abbey, landed in the infirmary after catching the flu.
When Walsh first described monastic life at Gethsemani to him, Merton emphatically declared that he was unsuited to its asceticism. But now, thrust into that life headlong, he was the happiest he had been in many years. The rituals of monastic life, though they seem oppressive, helped liberate him from his "false self," allowing him to grow closer to God. "I was enclosed," Merton wrote, "in the four walls of my new freedom."
As a monk at Gethsemani, Merton used that freedom to write about the importance of contemplation in books like New Seeds of Contemplation. Echoing Aristotle, Merton called contemplation "the highest expression of man's intellectual and spiritual life," the "sudden gift of awareness." He defined contemplation as an awareness of the divine. Its province extended beyond the practice of religious ritual to saturate the course of everyday life.
Thomas Merton was a paradoxical character. He was a garrulous apostle of silence but thrived among words. The Seven Storey Mountain was a bestseller and several of his many books enjoyed a wide readership. He professed a mystic extinction of individuality but became a celebrity. A charismatic advocate of selflessness, his absorption in the monastic community stood alongside his conviction that contemplation was not the preserve of monks and mystics alone: everyone, he taught, needs contemplation to satisfy his spiritual yearnings. He was a Catholic monk who became increasingly drawn to the tenets of Zen Buddhism. He extolled solitude but met his end at fifty-three in Bangkok, Thailand, at an interfaith conference when he was electrocuted by a fan.
In Four Quartets T. S. Eliot wrote of being "Distracted from distraction by distraction." It's a line that must have resonated with Thomas Merton, whose spiritual itinerary took him from that hurly-burly to Eliot's "still point of the turning world" and at least part way back. Merton's celebrity has faded in recent years but his articulate serenity persists, a quiet, cooling oasis of spiritual possibility.

For Immediate Release
Civil Rights Group Urges Greater Executive Action Following President's Limits on Military Weaponry for Police
ColorOfChange.org Calls for Comprehensive Database on Police Use of Force
NEW YORK, NY - President Obama announced that the US government plans to prohibit federal agencies from providing local law enforcements certain kinds of militarized equipment such as grenade launches, high-caliber weapons and bayonets. A longer list of equipment provided by the federal government will be controlled more tightly, though not banned. In order to obtain weaponry, local agencies will have to get approval and provide an explanation of why they need it, receive adequate training, and collect sufficient data on the use of the equipment.
This announcement coincides with the release of a report from the 21st Century Policing Task Force, which aims to improve relations between police forces and the communities in which they serve. The President also announced a $163 million grant to encourage local police to adopt task force recommendations, which will be awarded in the fall.
Rashad Robinson, Executive Director of ColorofChange.org, issued the following statement in response:
"ColorofChange.org and its members strongly applaud the President's latest restrictions on militarized police equipment, which come at a time when militarized police violence continues to threaten the civil and human rights of Black communities every day. This is just one small but crucial step in the right direction.
"The restrictions come after nearly 8,000 ColorOfChange members submitted comments to the President's Task Force on 21st Century policing and more than 300,000 members and their allies took actions urging President Obama to expand and enforce federal bans on discriminatory policing; bans which were included in the Task Force's final report as a recommendation for local police departments.
"Military weaponry has no place in the hands of local law enforcement, yet the latest restrictions still give local law enforcement access to drones and other weaponry that violates the privacy and civil rights of Black and brown communities. There is no acceptable level of militarized policing. And as long as law enforcement has military weaponry and high tech surveillance tools such as Stingrays, Black and brown folks will continue to be unjustly arrested, killed and treated as enemy combatants in their own homes.
"Success of the Task Force's recommendation lies in enforcement, as well as in comprehensive data collection of police use of force in order to track impact. For 15 years, the Attorney General has had the authority to collect data on police force and killings, yet there remains no comprehensive, national database. The best way to improve trust between police and local communities is through transparency and accountability."
Color Of Change is the nation's largest online racial justice organization. We help people respond effectively to injustice in the world around us. As a national online force driven by over one million members, we move decision-makers in corporations and government to create a more human and less hostile world for Black people in America.

Unanswered: How to tell if a form is open...
Hello, ladies and gents...
Is there a line that I can slap into a SQL query that says:
IF FORM A is open THEN
xyz = [forms]![form a]![auto number]
xyz = [forms]![form b]![auto number]
end if
I don't know how to query to see if a form is open!

A form is only in the Forms collection if it is open.Bessie Braddock: Winston, you are drunk!
Churchill: And Madam, you are ugly. And tomorrow, I'll be sober, and you will still be ugly.

Usu. your not going to check for the form open in a query. You'd do this in a Sub Procedure. I use a version of the below function which can be found at http://www.mvps.org You'd call the function in your script ie.
If fIsLoaded(Me.Name) Then
' Run my Query the form is Open
' Exit the form is not open
Exit Sub
End If
'http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0002.htm '****** Code Start ******** Function fIsLoaded(ByVal strFormName As String) As Integer 'Returns a 0 if form is not open or a -1 if Open If SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acForm, strFormName) <> 0 Then If Forms(strFormName).CurrentView <> 0 Then fIsLoaded = True End If End If End Function '****** Code End ********~

hammbakka, Thats the example that I recommended. Works good. One thing to point out about my previous post. You most likely would not use 'Me.Name' as the form name to check for open. Obviously form Me.name would be open as that is the form object of the form module. You would use the name of another form that you are interacting with.
If fIsLoaded("frmFormNameToCheck") Then
' do something with the form
Exit Sub
End If

Wine: Winery: Ambiance: Sep 17, 2013
Favorite Wine: Vignoles
This is a sweet-wine-lover's paradise! Staff was very friendly and personable. Grounds were a little messy, but they're in the middle of wine-making season, so it is to be expected! The Vignoles was very different, and unexpected. Had a nice vanilla finish to it.

Favorite Wine: Jester's Quandary
This winery was perhaps the most unique of our day (Mother's Day 2011) on the Western Iowa Wine Trail. From the labels on the wines, their names, the exterior of the tasting room to the mock middle ages torture devices in the yard, the Renaissance Fair theme was very prevalent. I can imagine events at King's Crossing are very fun and lively. The wines were okay overall. They seem to be pursuing a style that isn't exactly my cup of tea. Even so, the wines are good enough and the hospitality and theming are more than enough for a return trip. And moreover, I am sure there are others who really appreciate the style of wine being pursued here. My wife's favorite was the St. Croix Reserve. My favorite was the Jester's Quandary made from the Frontenac grape. My son liked the sweet red, and silly good fun Nighty Knight. Their Vignoles was unlike any other Vignoles I have ever tried. It really had a vanilla-like flavor to it. (ADDENDUM: We drank a bottle of the St. Croix Reserve a couple months later at home on the July 4th weekend. It was really good. Tasted better at home it seems. It had a start that was just a bit astringent or tart but quickly moved to a smooth, slightly fruity finish. After a couple sips, it had a nice velvety, slightly numbing effect on the tongue that I get when drinking my favorite Cabernet Sauvignons and Nortons. Will have to get some more of the St. Croix Reserve. I give it a 4-star rating meaning I would go out of my way to get more of it. Like the Norton, one of my other favorite grapes, the St. Croix turns turns the water blue when rinsing out your glass. Perhaps there is something to blue skinned grapes.)

"Two hundred sixty four thousand nine-hundred minutes.
Two hundred sixty four thousand moments so dear
Two hundred sixty four thousand nine-hundred minutes.
How do you measure, half of a year?"
At the risk of blaspheming J. Larson's classic, a parody of "Seasons of Love" from 'Rent' seems appropriate to show just how much I've slacked in the past six months.
I am ashamed. Embarrassed. Horrified at the state I've gotten myself in, physically. I had surgery last August, which was the springboard to my half of a year's worth of excuses to not eat right, not exercise, and just be overall lazy. That slid nicely into a river of denial where "I just don't feel like it" turned into "I'm depressed because of the weather" and "I'm down because I'm lonely," and an overture of "Woe is Me" arose to the heavens to the point that even I am annoyed by myself. *ugh*
So, where does 2012 find me? Weighing a whopping 230 lbs. My lights in 2011 was 189. (Truth be told, I'm actually sitting at 222 right now, but let's just go ahead and claim it. I'm claiming my 230.) The reasons don't matter. It is what it is. Dwelling and analyzing won't get me to change any faster.
SO! Here's the plan. Kick my own ass when I make excuses and whine and cry. Get aforementioned fat ass into the gym after class. Not self medicate with food and wine, and voerally just shake this mental plague that's been hurting me since last year and before.
Sound like a plan? Good. Because it will be. You hear that, me? You know what to do. Get off your ass and do it. I'm really disappointed in you because you let yourself get lazy. You know better. So go show you and go show me that we think we're worth it. I'm not giving up on you. Deal?

Presented by Japanese gadget importer, GeekStuff4U.com has made a cool Japanese handheld fan with built-in USB flash drive available for worldwide market. The USB flash drive has a good 16GB storage capacity and a good Japanese drawing art on the fan when you open it up.
This pure Japanese Style Device features 16GB of memory. In a shape of typical Sensu (or Hand-Held Fan), this hand made USB Memory (16GB) is made of Bamboo, Wood as well as Cotton and received 5 Layers of lacquer
The only thing that may discourage you to get one is the way to connect the flash drive to your PC or laptop. Because of the Memory stick is on the tip of the big fan, you'll have to use extra cable to connect your PC with the flash drive up. Fail to do that might break the memory card or your PC USB port because the handheld fan is pretty heavy.
If you want to get one, it could set you back at ¥ 27,500.00 or equal to USD $293. Oops…

text: Hey guys! I have no idea where to post, so I apologize if I'm in the wrong section. I'm very new to rooting and I've seem to come into a major problem. (Atleast in my eyes.) To start off I had gotten my HTC Evo 4g & used the method of UNRevoked to root my Evo. I then found out UNRevoked isn't a full nand unlock & all the nitty gritty, so I came upon Toastcfh's guide to rooting the Evo. I performed half the instructions as told and was then in this boot loop. Right before it happened I (think) I erased the Dalvik Cache, but I definitely hard formatted the whole phone/cache. Anyway as told in the instructions I was suppose to flash the PC36IMG.zip to my phone and I did. Once that all configured it rebooted on itself & now the phone is stuck in boot with stock recovery method. I can load into HBOOT and see that in green lettering it says: SUPERSONIC EVT2-2 SHIP S-OFF, HBOOT-0.79.0000, TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab, RADIO-1.39.00.04.26. Please help me. I havent used my phone for a whole day now. :\ To add: I have searched up on this, but all the tutorials are very confusing. Before the PC36IMG.zip got added on my phone, I had clockwork mod recovery. Now I have the stock one I'm guessing. I have tried a stock RUU through HBOOT USB, but the RUU either says some error my phone battery is under 30% (when it's fully charged). Or the RUU will say waiting for device to connect. & I tried putting a rom on my sd card then flashing or whatever and my computer wont open my sd card unless, I put it in the disk reader. Please ask questions, I'll answer as best as I can...thanks!

Longtime Chicago Sun-Times political reporter Dave McKinney announced his resignation Wednesday and denounced the commitment of the paper's owners to independent journalism.
"I'm faced with a difficult decision due to the disturbing developments I've experienced in the last two weeks that cannot be reconciled with this newspaper's storied commitment to journalism," he said in a letter written to Sun-Times Chairman Michael Ferro.
McKinney's announcement comes a week after the paper removed him from covering the governor's race for five days because of an article he co-authored with Sun-Times columnist Carol Marin about a current lawsuit Rauner is facing. The suit alleges that Rauner made personal threats against a former executive he recruited to run one of his companies.
Republican candidate Bruce Rauner attacked McKinney's journalistic integrity after the story ran. His campaign maintained McKinney's involvement in the story was inappropriate because he was married to Ann Liston, a political consultant for the Democratic Party. McKinney denied that his wife had any conflict of interest because she only works on campaigns outside of Illinois. McKinney also pointed out in his resignation letter that he began working on the story in January, before he and Liston tied the knot.
McKinney alleged the Rauner campaign attempted to quash the story and intimidate him and his editors. "Prior to publication, the Rauner campaign used multiple tactics to block it, including having campaign staffers vowing to 'go over' our heads," he said.
Sun-Times editor and publisher Jim Kirk said he was sorry to lose McKinney but strenuously defended the paper's editorial integrity.
"It is with reluctance that I accept Dave McKinney's resignation," said Kirk in emailed statement.
"I disagree with Dave's questioning the integrity of this newspaper and my role as editor and publisher," he said. "I call the shots. While I've been here, our ownership and management have never quashed a story and they have always respected the journalistic integrity of this paper."
McKinney said he believes the fracas over the Rauner lawsuit story stemmed from personal relationships between Rauner and Ferro, who were both investors in Wrapports LLC, the company formed to acquire the Sun-Times out of bankruptcy. Before Rauner ran for governor, he had a 10 percent stake in Wrapports.
Rauner sold his stake for $5 million to Ferro in April 2013.
"Readers of the Sun-Times need to be able to trust the paper," he said. "They need to know a wall exists between owners and the newsroom to preserve the integrity of what is published. A breach in that wall exists at the Sun-Times."
Five days ago, the Sun-Times ended its commitment to not endorsing political candidates. On Saturday, the paper released an enthusiastic endorsement of Rauner, calling him "an extraordinarily capable businessman who just might have what it takes to break the stranglehold of uninspired, self-serving, one-party rule in Springfield."

The year is AD28.
In Roman-occupied Judea, Claudia Lucretia Pilate, daughter of the governor Pontius Pilate, is not happy with her father's choice of husband for her – the handsome Roman Tribune Marcus Gaius Sejanus, who has been assigned the task of ridding Palestine of the troublesome Zealots.
Lover of Greek myths and culture, Claudia has ideals of finding a partner of her own and she unwittingly falls in love with Judah ben Hillel, a young Jewish Zealot, who has been instructed by his kinsmen to kidnap and kill her.
Meanwhile, Marcus has fallen in love himself with a beautiful slave-girl, Nebela, whose mother is the local soothsayer. Despite their different ranks in society, Nebela is determined that she, and not Claudia, shall marry Marcus, and with her mother's help she weaves an intricate plot to try and get her way.
Languishing in jail is John the Baptist, having prepared the way for the coming of the Messiah. Regarded by the Romans as a madman, John's fate will be decided by the whims of the women in Herod's household.
Word on the street is that a Jewish prophet from Galilee has been causing unrest, drawing huge crowds to hear him speak and watch him perform wonders and healings.
Claudia's father, Pontius, becomes a key player in the final destiny of the prophet, and despite warnings from his wife after her vivid dreams, he is swept along by expectations of the Jewish leaders to uphold the local traditions and finds himself in a dangerously compromising situation.
As the last days of Jesus are played out in Jerusalem, the future happiness of Claudia and Judah becomes ever more thwarted and the outcome played out in a wider arena than they ever imagined.
A tale of star-crossed lovers, Pilate's Daughter brings to the fore many lesser-known characters from the gospel accounts of Jesus, who mingle with fictional characters against the historical backdrop of Roman life in Palestine.
