As he picked up campaign signs in the Deer Springs area north of Escondido on Wednesday morning, a confident Bill Horn paused to say he fully expects to be elected to a fifth term on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors on Nov. 2.
His general election opponent, Vista City Councilman and schoolteacher Steve Gronke, was equally confident that Horn's days are numbered.
Voters are ready for a change, Gronke said, and recognize he is a serious candidate who can wrest control of the North County 5th District seat Horn has held since 1994.
Won't happen, Horn said.
"I'm actually very encouraged with the returns," he said of Tuesday's primary results, which saw him get a little more than 48 percent of the vote, just shy of the simple majority needed to avoid a runoff. "Gronke is a union surrogate, and I think voters will see through that."
Gronke, who got 21 percent of the vote in the five-candidate primary, said he's well positioned to pick up support and, more important, campaign cash.
"I have a good base, I will work hard this summer and people now see that I am a serious contender," he said. "I am much more moderate, while Bill continues to lean to the side of developers."
Horn, 67, said that with four opponents on the ballot, it would have been a "miracle" to get the simple majority required of county officials to avoid a runoff.
The 58-year-old Gronke, who went to bed at about 1 a.m. and got up a few hours later to check for updated returns, said he will emphasize improving social services and fire protection while maintaining the county's fiscal health.
"There has to be a way we can accelerate the process for getting people help in these tough times," he said. "If we just put a few more people behind the counters and a few more people in those offices, we should be able to get timely help to those who are eligible."
He said he also will push for consolidation of backcountry fire departments.
Horn said he will continue to promote public safety and sound fiscal policies.
"He and I are polar opposites when it comes to managing and spending money," he said of Gronke, adding: "I'm not anti-union. I just don't think the unions should be in charge."
With all the votes counted except for absentee and provisional ballots, Horn had 32,290 votes compared with Gronke's 14,322.
Combined with the ballots cast for the three other candidates, John Van Doorn, Fabio Marchi and Tom Bumgardner, the anti-Horn vote totaled a little more than 36,000.
Does that mean Horn's grip on the seat that represents 670,000 North County residents is tenuous?
Probably not, according to UC San Diego political science professor Gary Jacobson.
"The second-place guy never picks up all the votes of the others, and I don't think Horn is in trouble," he said. "I've never seen anyone who got 20 percent able to make up the deficit unless a scandal or something really weird happens."
Gronke, who has been on the Vista City Council for 10 years and a Vista Unified School District teacher for three decades, said he will try to raise $250,000 or more to compete with Horn, who had $82,000 available in his campaign account at the end of May.
Horn, a Valley Center fruit grower and owner of several apartment complexes, said he will seek to raise as much as $400,000 to hold on to the job that pays $143,031 a year.
This will be Horn's third runoff in the heavily Republican district that includes the cities of Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista and San Marcos. He beat San Marcos City Councilman Lee Thibadeau in 1994 and Escondido City Councilman Jerry Harmon in 1998.
His only outright primary win came in 2002, when he got 53 percent of the vote to beat Kevin Barnard and Patsy Fritz.
While Horn's support comes mainly from well-heeled developers and financial interests, Gronke has relied on more of a grass-roots campaign. But he also has the backing of the union that represents the bulk of county employees, the Service Employees International Union Local 221.
Union spokeswoman Melinda Battenberg said Wednesday that the union, which endorsed Gronke in the primary but didn't give him any money, probably will increase its efforts on his behalf.
"Who our next supervisors are is very important to our members, and it's safe to assume that at some level, we will participate in these races," she said. "We'll be working with our members to determine our next step."
Battenberg also was referring to the District 4 supervisor race, which features incumbent Ron Roberts who, like Horn, fell just short of a majority. He faces Stephen Whitburn, who took 22 percent of the vote.
The union also was celebrating the passage of its measure amending the county charter to limit future supervisors to two four-year terms.
"It's clear that voters are as frustrated as we are with business as usual at the Board of Supervisors, and that they want change," Battenberg said.
A third county official, Assessor David Butler, also faces a runoff. Butler got 37 percent of the primary vote compared with Fallbrook taxpayer advocate Ernest Dronenburg, who drew 35 percent.
There's a slim chance that a remaining 160,000 ballots not yet counted could push Horn or Roberts over the simple majority threshold.
Two county officials won their races outright on Tuesday ---- Sheriff Bill Gore and Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister.

Domain Distortion
These thoughts were originally posted at http://ardentdev.com in 2010. I've moved them here in order to repurpose that domain for a software development podcast.
Remember the game Telephone? You whisper something in your neighbour's ear, he whispers to his neighbour, she whispers to her neighbour, and so on all the way down the line. The last person announces the message she heard and everyone laughs when they discover how mangled the final message is from the original.
An eerily similar phenomenon occurs in software development as requirements flow from domain experts to business analysts to system designers (architects) to developers. Each communication channel in the process introduces new opportunities for information to be distorted.
I was digging through some old papers this week and found a sketch I made nearly a decade ago on the back of a Dilbert comic. I've prettied it up here as a reminder to all of us to always be watchful for potential distortions as requirements flow from users and stakeholders to the people who build and test the software:
The importance of good communication in the software development process cannot be overstated.
If you are passionate about building software and want to thrive in your career, hone your communication skills. Ask questions. Write things down. Repeat back what you've heard to validate it. Ask more questions if things don't make sense. Communicate, communicate, communicate.
In 2009 I had lunch with an executive with a lot of experience managing developers. When I asked for his biggest piece of advice for professional developers outside of learning technology, his answer was to learn to communicate effectively.

The new year brings with it an air of optimism.
We're several days into the new year and most of us are still determined to make 2014 'THE' year or perhaps you're already struggling to stick with your resolution(s)!
And of course, sartorially speaking what a great time to revamp or re-evaluate your style and wardrobe and step out of your comfort zone. It's a great time to either start all over again but sometimes making the first step can often be the most challenging.
Email me on firstname.lastname@example.com for more information on Personal Shopping or Wardrobe Consultation.
Can you imagine how many missed opportunities are created from the "I'll get around to it one day" attitude? So what are you waiting for?
Have a great year!!

This latest DC movie is based on the comic, Justice League: Origins, part of an ongoing New 52 series, which chucks aside previous issues and relaunches the DC universe with new origins, costumes and backstories. If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, think again.
I had to Google all that because I'm not a comic guy, I'm a movie guy. I couldn't tell you squat about any of these characters other than what I've seen on TV and in movies. In my world, Wonder Woman is Linda Carter threatening to burst from her brassiere, Shazam is a crappy 1970's kids' show, Cyborg trades wisecracks with Beast Boy on Teen Titans and Green Lantern reminds me how much I hate Ryan Reynolds.
So for all I know, the whole DC relaunch pissed-off die hard fans worldwide. But maybe this latest direct-to-video DC epic is intended more for folks like me, who's never purchased a comic book in his life, because I like this movie quite a bit. Aside from the limited-animation style similar to various DC series on Cartoon Network (a style I never cared for), Justice League: War is a fast moving, funny and interesting take on how these iconic heroes assemble for the first time in order to save the world from malevolent aliens.
The story is pretty perfunctory - I've yet-to-see a Justice League cartoon where the fate of the world wasn't at stake - but what makes this movie work so well are how the characters interact. First of all, this is a DC universe where superheroes aren't exactly embraced by the public (upset at the collateral damage their actions cause). Not only that, they don't like each other too much either, and their snarky banter is pretty damned funny (especially between Green Lantern and Batman). Their overall competition with each other almost recalls the long-running gag in The Tick, which features a city rife with too many superheroes.
Comic purists may disagree, but the movie also does a great job introducing Cyborg (the only character whose true origins are depicted). As a college athlete whose gridiron heroics are belittled by his estranged scientist father, the irony of how he becomes Cyborg provides a bit of unexpected drama. On the flipside of the coin, you haven't lived until you witness Wonder Woman's reaction when an angry citizen says she dresses like a whore.
Warner Brothers has long-threatened to make a big-budget, live-action Justice League film to answer Marvel's success with The Avengers. Funny thing is, if they'd have used this story and script, they probably would have had that answer. This animated film may not be as ambitious, but it is still a hell of a lot of fun, and probably the closest we're gonna get to a full-blown Justice League movie in the foreseeable future.

"This is a great change from normal Thanksgiving turkey. The outside skin isn't meant for eating. You need to use a combo of hard and softwood; e.g., hickory plus wild grape or applewood. You need to be conversant with smoker techniques."
Asian Smoked Turkey
5 recipe photos
READY IN:6hrs 15mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (13 -16 lb) turkey
- 1⁄4 cup ground coffee
- 1⁄4 cup cocoa powder (high quality, like Ghiradelli)
- 10 star anise
- Rinse bird inside and out. Lightly pat dry the outside.
- Rub the chocolate and coffee powder all over the skin. Place two star anise inside the cavity and divide the rest among the breast portions and the legs/thighs. Wrap the legs and wings with foil.
- Smoke at 225 degree for 5 - 6 hours or until the bird reaches an internal temp of 180 degrees. Follow your smoker's directions.
- Let rest for 15 minutes. Do not eat the skin. It will be extremely blacked and was there for flavoring the meat, not ingestion itself.

When Valentine's Day Is A Labour Of Love
10/02/2016 5:33 PM AEDT | Updated 15/07/2016 12:51 PM AEST
Iona Yeung Relationships and lifestyle writer at www30everafter.com.
Whoever invented Valentine's Day was smart enough to recognise the commercial realities the day would soon bring. People buy things based on emotion, and so it's no surprise that many splurge on a day that celebrates love.
Personally, I believe that if you love someone, you should show them every day, not just because a calendar tells you to. But, having once loved Valentine's Day, I also understand what it's like to have a partner who doesn't 'believe' in Valentine's Day.
If you couldn't give a hoot about St.Valentine but still want to make it into the good books, here's a survival guide that might come in handy.
Acknowledge It
The worst thing you can do is ignore February 14th as a day to be celebrated. You don't necessarily have to ask your better half out to a Valentine's Day dinner, but make sure you do something special -- take-away Thai food and a movie at home does not count. Avoid all restaurants. Aside from the premium prices you'll pay, you will end up packed like sardines with all the other couples celebrating. And if you don't book in advance, you'll end up spending your night standing in a long queue. Opt for a picnic in the park for a low-key, casual date that just happens to fall on Feb 14th -- same level of romance without the cliché.
To Gift or Not to Gift?
If you've just started dating someone, Valentine's Day can put a lot of pressure on the relationship. A present too big or too small could land you in trouble, so it's best to tread lightly and go for the safe options. If you don't know how much to spend, use this guide:
Dating 1-3 months: A small bouquet of flowers or box of chocolates -- spend no more than $50.
Dating 4-6 months: Give something you can do together. I'd cap the budget at $100.
Dating 7 + months: By this time, you probably know your partner pretty well. Spend whatever you feel is appropriate.
The Long Distance Valentine
Think you can get away without celebrating the day because you aren't together? Think again. The unspoken rule is, if one person celebrates Valentine's Day, both in the relationship should celebrate it...regardless of distance. Organising a present or flowers can be tricky and, as an expat, I can understand the pain of having to find a local supplier for every occasion. If your significant other is overseas, opt for a delivery service that caters to multiple countries.
There is nothing worse than having a delivery arrive a day late, so make sure you put in your order a few days before. If you are after a more personalised touch, you can hire someone to buy the gift and deliver it in person via a service like Airtasker. I recently helped a guy deliver a tub of ice-cream to his girlfriend with a personal note, just because. It's the small gestures that count.

Audiolog is a small tool for analyzing traces or logfiles in real time and producing sound events. It always reads line by line from standard input. In a configuration file, you configure regular expressions. If audiolog reads a line matching a certain expression, it plays a note. You can specify the pitch and duration of that note. This allows you to hear your network traffic.
The Auditor security collection is a live-system based on KNOPPIX. It provides tools for analyzing the security of a system. It features a menu structure that reflects the stages of a security check: foot-printing, analysis, scanning, wireless, brute-forcing, cracking. In addition to about 300 security tools, the collection includes background information regarding standard configuration and passwords, truly extensive word lists, and more mundane productivity tools.
AutoCfgBackup is a platform-independent tool to automatically collect and archive the configuration of network devices like switches and routers. Supported devices include Cisco routers, Extreme network switches, or Zyxels. Almost any network device can be integrated. Configuration is only archived if it has changed. Archives will be created automatically with RCS or a simple rollover scheme.
AutoNOC is a high performance, production integrated, peer-to-peer network operations management platform for Windows and Linux. It provides real-time historical analysis, root cause, fault detection, reporting, alerts and alarms, and no-nonsense correlation. It is an interoperable vendor independent solution with built-in support for Microsoft, Cisco, Linux, IBM, and other major technologies. Additionally it offers many novel capabilities, including end user personalization, easy scalability, compressed historical databases, infinite histories, event archiving (it works as a syslog server), and multi-language support.
AutoScan is an application designed to explore and manage your network. Entire subnets can be scanned simultaneously without human intervention. It features OS detection, automatic network discovery, a port scanner, a Nessus client, a Samba share browser, and the ability to save the network state.
The Autofs CD Changer patch allows you to automount the different slots of a CD changer. It automatically changes the slots and remounts CDs as needed, giving the impression that they are all simultaneously mounted. It's not much use for multisession stuff, but works fine for mp3 lists that span many CDs.
ANDReA is a LAMP-based system for registration of network clients using DHCP. Splitting the network into "boot-net" for unregistered users and a "real-net" for registered users makes it possible to gather information about users in the network. Additionally it is possible to detect active services (FTP, WWW, a game server, etc.) and unregistered computers in the network. It is mainly used for LAN parties.�

text: I have a Bradley digital smoker and I'm trying to figure out the best place to monitor the temperature using an external device. I have found that the digital temperature is significantly off from the internal temperature (today I needed 225 and I had to set controller to 300 to achieve that). Starting today's session, I had the monitor clipped to an empty top rack above two prime rib roasts. About half way though I moved it to an empty rack between the roasts and of course got different readings. The roasts turned out great but it makes me wonder where is the best place to monitor the interior temperature using an external device? If my instructions say 225, what part of the smoker are they talking about? Thanks

In an update from Collider via Deadline on 's Interstellar, it appears the director is inserting some ideas into brother 's script. Having just taken over the directing reins for the movie from Steven Spielberg, things appear to be happening pretty fast.
Although major plot details for Interstellar are being kept under wraps, the movie will depict a heroic interstellar voyage to the furthest borders of our scientific understanding, involving worm holes, time travel, and alternate dimensions.
It should come as no great surprise that Christopher Nolan is bringing his own ideas to his brother's script. The talented siblings have a long history of working together, having written Memento and The Prestige, as well as the last two movies in the Dark Knight trilogy. If you want intelligent and thought-provoking blockbusters, then the Nolans are arguably the best in the business.
Are you guys excited about Interstellar? Is Nolan a good choice to direct or would you have preferred to see Spielberg take the reigns? Drop a comment below.

I woke up the other morning to quite the flurry on Twitter. Granted, this news was shared a few days ago, but news has yet to really spread like wild flower.
You see, Vera Wang has recently made a new partnership announcement. No, none of her existing gowns, or current lines are going anywhere. Vera will continue to design gorgeous, drool- (and swoon-) worthy gowns that we will continue to lust over. However, she will be teaming up with David's Bridal and releasing a new (and affordable) line of wedding gowns.
Starting in Spring 2011, David's Bridal will begin selling Vera Wang designs that will be sold for under $1,500. Yes, you read that correctly.
Since designs are still in the works, no sketches or pictures of the line are available. BUT, Vera recently revealed her Fall 2010 line at Bridal Fashion Week in New York not too long ago. And, no post is a true post without gorgeous photos (of gowns, in this case).

I heard about this the other day. I'm sure they'll be gorgeous. Way to be Vera!

Loveliness all around. I hope the aesthetic doesn't stray too far from its roots. But I'm wary! Pls Vera, stay cool.

I'm really curious to see what her David dresses will look like. Her gowns are so amazing and couture, I don't know how that'll translate to inexpensive gowns. I'm not much a fan of her Kohl's line, but love the high-end Lavender Label stuff at Neimans. Will this be a similar discrepancy? I'm excited to see what she does! Keep us posted!
1:57 pm on April 22nd, 2010
I cringe, because I wonder (worry) that this will dilute her name and brand image since D.B. is *so* mainstream and, well, cheap compared to the image she has worked so hard to build. I will be sending brides there next year to look for sure, but I can just see 2011 brides with a REAL Vera having to defend their $8,000 gown "No, I didn't get this at David's Bridal!!" These shabby-chic partnerships are getting ca-razy!
7:56 am on April 26th, 2010
I just caught up to this this weekend- frankly, I'm EXCITED. Vera has already had that line for Kohl's for years, but folks still covet her couture. And I used to be a huge snob about DB until I actually walked in there and (to my complete shock) fell in love with a dress. I can't wait to see what she comes up with! Will she sacrifice fabric for design or will she keep things simple? We shall see…

Speaking of paid and unpaid work, the New York Times just ran a fascinating op-ed piece by Craig Lambert, deputy editor of Harvard Magazine, about "shadow work." That's a term Lambert says was coined 30 years ago by Australian philosopher Ivan Illich to describe all of the work people do that they don't get paid for, such as housework, shopping, paying bills, etc.
Lambert argues that machines, instead of liberating us from repetitive and menial tasks, have actually increased the amount of shadow work we do. We pump our own gas, squeegee our own windows, bag our own groceries, plan and book our own travel arrangements. Chores that we now perform for ourselves, often with the help of technology, were once done by human beings who got paid for it. At our jobs, support staff like secretaries and clerks have been reduced, their tasks—typing, copying, mailing, sorting email—added to remaining employees' other responsibilities. "Even those in senior management perform these humdrum jobs," Lambert writes.
Doctors say patients complain of fatigue, Lambert notes. "Much of this fatigue may result from the steady, surreptitious accumulation of shadow work in modern life," he writes. "People are simply doing a huge number of tasks that were once done for them by others."
I'll leave it to economists to figure out whether Lambert is right, whether technology has produced a net increase or decrease in shadow work. Obviously, technology has streamlined many unpaid tasks: washing dishes, looking up information, shopping for certain items.
What most interests me is the timely point tucked within Lambert's piece. More people are questioning, thanks in part to the Occupy Wall Street movement, why so many Americans are struggling while a tiny minority rakes in phenomenal wealth.
Lambert's thesis provides one explanation for that phenomenon. But he steers around that point, blaming not CEOs but the machines themselves. "The robots have won," he announces. "The robots are in charge now, pushing a thousand routine tasks onto each of our backs."
But of course, robots aren't the ones forcing humans to do extra work. Robots, who will gladly work for free, don't benefit from the arrangement. Robots aren't lighting cigars with $100 bills. That would be, at least theoretically, the people who profit from the robots' work. Of course, not all business owners are thriving financially, not even those who have replaced employees with machines. But whatever financial savings are being seen—in salaries, health insurance and so on—isn't going to the machines, let alone the people taking on extra shadow work.
Meanwhile, there's one important category of shadow work that Lambert doesn't mention at all—understandably, since it's not central to his point—but that is relevant to this blog: caregiving. Technology, as far as I can tell, neither dramatically reduces nor increases the work of caring for children, the old and the sick. But some research indicates that parents, especially mothers, are spending more time than ever on childcare.
As the New York Times reported last year:
Before 1995, mothers spent an average of about 12 hours a week attending to the needs of their children. By 2007, that number had risen to 21.2 hours a week for college-educated women and 15.9 hours for those with less education.
Although mothers still do most of the parenting, fathers also registered striking gains: to 9.6 hours a week for college-educated men, more than double the pre-1995 rate of 4.5 hours; and to 6.8 hours for other men, up from 3.7, according to an additional analysis by Betsey Stevenson and Dan Sacks, economists at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
It stands to reason that, as our population ages, we'll be spending more time caring for our elders, too.
Unpaid caregiving represents a big chunk of shadow work, and it still falls disproportionately on women. If Lambert is right, it helps explain why we're feeling so overwhelmed. We're juggling paid work, plus more of the traditional shadow work than we performed in the past, plus new high-tech forms of shadow work.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some shadow work to do in the kitchen.

Virginia Stewart Metzler, nicknamed
"Ginger," was born in Houston, Texas. After high school, Virginia
married John Thomas (Tommy) Barnett, Jr., a pilot, and moved to
Liberia, West Africa. There they served as missionaries with R. G. LeTourneau for two years. After Tommy's untimely death, Virginia
moved back to the U.S. with her two small children, Vicki and Randy.
Virginia met Les Metzler after moving to
California from Texas. They have now been married 52 years. Virginia
and Les served as missionaries for 14 years with Wycliffe Bible
Translators and the Summer Institute of Linguistics, including six
years as support missionaries in the Philippines. Les and Virginia
are the parents of two married children and an adopted daughter
Hannah-Joy, a pre-med student. They are grandparents of eight
grandchildren. Besides being a wife, mother and grandmother,
Virginia is an artist, writer, a Bible teacher and a discipler of
women. "God has been good to me all the days of my life! I have
never doubted God's care for me or for my family members, as well.
His provisions for me, I have never doubted. I had read the account
in Matthew about the birds and how God cares for them and because I
believe the Bible, I trust Him to take care of me."
Matthew 6:26 says,
"…are you not worth much more than they?"
dad was a farmer. Actually, he was a sharecropper who farmed about
fifty of the ninety-eight acre farm owned by our local banker. Dad
would go to the bank and borrow seed money on his handshake. In our
family, the emphasis was on core-values such as truth, honesty,
integrity, and keeping one's word. Loyalty and trust were high on
that list as well. Our parents had taught us those things, among
many others and they were part of our lives and were enforced daily.
We may have been poor but we were expected to live our lives above
and beyond reproach.
I was about the age of
ten or eleven when my dad said to me, "I've spent my whole life
building a reputation of dignity, honor, honesty and keeping my
word. Don't you ever do anything to bring dishonor to my name or my
reputation!" His admonishment haunted me all during my youth and to
my knowledge, I have kept his reputation intact.
Simple lessons I learned
from living on the farm. Most of them had a spiritual application
that only in my later years, have I been able to fully appreciate or
even grasp. Strange, isn't it how a simple statement can leave a
"ripple" effect in a person's life? It would be the same as tossing
a rock into a lake that sent out ripples that grew wider and wider.
Eventually, one little pebble affects the entire lake. Also, there
are "ripples" in our spiritual insights or assessments; they can be
seen in EVERYTHING. But we must open our eyes and hearts to see
My dad used a horse to
plow back in the late forties. And I loved to follow him in the
fields as he plowed with ole Clyde. I loved the feel of the cool,
damp, newly plowed ground beneath my toes and the smell of the
freshly turned soil. I would stretch my legs as far as possible to
fit my own small feet into my dad's bigger footprints.
But ole Clyde was a story
all of his own. The name Clyde stood for Clydesdale because that was
his pedigree! Those huge horses with their big, hairy feet are
massive and strong. My dad rescued Clyde from a life of being used
as a logging horse. There they worked him very long, hard hours
every day. The loggers were not always kind to horses like Clyde.
My dad's purpose in
acquiring Clyde was to use him as a plow-horse. But it was not an
easy task to plow with ole Clyde. His feet were so large that he
managed to step on almost every delicate plant my dad had planted in
our fields. Dad used some choice words with Clyde but ole Clyde
didn't seem to mind at all. I always felt that ole Clyde was smiling
as he plopped those big, hairy feet down the rows with Dad walking
with the plow behind him.
When I was about seven
years old, I was following my dad one morning as he plowed with ole
Clyde. But on that particular day Clyde had a mind of his own. If
Clyde decided the way to go, that was the way Dad went. More often
than not, Clyde resisted Dad's tug on the reins. Sometimes Clyde
would drag my dad behind him as my dad fought to regain control of
him. I must repeat myself and say, Clyde had a mind of his own!
Clyde did what Clyde wanted to do! For no reason at all, Clyde would
take my dad on unscheduled romps through the fields. Dad was
pleased those hair-raising jaunts!
One day as I followed my
dad in the fields, I began to pummel him with questions. I had
always heard, "timing is everything" but what does a seven year old
know about timing? I'm sure there must have been a better time than
when my dad was being dragged all over the south forty by that
humongous hunk of horse flesh. Kids are filled with questions, at
least this kid was! I said something to my dad (who was trying to
plow), when he stopped Clyde, turned to me and said, "Virginia, you
ask more questions than a New York lawyer!" Then he said something
that took me more than a few years to truly understand its meaning;
he said to me, "I cannot plow and turn to answer your questions. If
I turn to look or talk with you, Clyde will turn around, too. Once
I've begun to plow, I can not look back."
Years later, as I
sat reading my Bible, I came upon a verse that riveted my attention.
The verse took me back to those times my dad plowed with Clyde. It
Luke 9:62
"No man, when putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is
worthy of the kingdom of God."
The Lord revealed to me the truth spoken to me so long ago; it was a
beautiful moment. I learned that I needed to take charge of my
relationship with God and keep an undivided focus on Him. It is
impossible to follow Christ while looking back at the world or
anything I've left behind me. That was the reason Lot's wife was
turned into a pillar of salt! She not only looked back at Sodom and
Gomorrah, she grieved-over having to leave that very sinful place.
God's desire
for us is to "set our sights" on Him and never waiver in either our
journey or our devotion to Him.

2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Toy Hauler Special
By Mike on
Vehicle2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
ReviewTraded in my Tundra for the FJ in May 2006 in Raleigh, NC. FJ is loaded, from super sound system to trailer hitch. I pull my 18' Toy Hauler, loaded with a Triumph Rocket Mcyl and luggage, with no problem. Trailer dealership installed trailer brakes for $300.00. On the road at 65MPH I get 9.3 MPG. Normal mileage is 17/23, depending on road travelled. Lack of lumbar support was solved with a $10.00 back support from AAA. Installed Toyota window guards for looks, but for those who drive with windows open it's worth the money. The FJ is an attention getter, I have the Voodoo Blue. With the iPod outlet, the music never stops. I love my Toyota FJ Cruiser.
Best FeaturesWhere to start: iPod outlet, big woofer, multi-disc cd/am/fm radio sound system. Roof rack is serviceable not just for show. Limited slip differential, ABS is great.
Worst FeaturesSeats with lumbar support. Trailer towing kit with electric for trailer brakes. Rear seats that fold flat. Extra outlet for electronics: cell phone charger and GPS charger use at the same time would be great.

Why is it that certain people can get away with certain gaffes while if you tried you'd be castigated?
Gawker tickles our fancy by reporting today that Socialite/celebutante (we really never know which one)- Lydia Hearst has gone gaga on us by going sort of naked on us. Of course seeing that she has pedigree to attend to and not the balls her girlfriend –Paris HILTON has, has decided to go semi nude in some (classy ) European magazine. Oh why not here in the US? And of course we like the use of the word classy, as opposed to trashy?
Anyway we do wonder what's become of society and how long it will be that everyone will be giving away their philanthropic causes and launching model careers and other assorted yummies that will keep us all collectively titillated?

BBC Correspondent Amanda Burrell visits seven camps in south east Nepal which house more than 100,000 ethnic Nepalese people.UNHCR
You are invited to the Belgian premiere of:
The Forgotten Refugees
Thursday 28 May at 6:30 pm
BBC Correspondent Amanda Burrell visits seven camps in south east Nepal which house more than 100,000 ethnic Nepalese people - the largest concentration of refugees in the world. Expelled from Bhutan almost twenty years ago, the Nepalese Government refuses to grant them citizenship.
Unable to work, they depend on humanitarian aid. The international community is now taking notice of their plight and many are being offered a home in the West. Amanda Burrell reports on the difficult
decision they face – trading the dream of one day returning to their old homes in Bhutan for a chance to start a new life as free citizens but – in many cases – separated from family and friends.
The screening will be followed by a debate with Ms. Rosella Pagliucchi, Head of Unit Donor Relations, UNHCR; Mr. Bernard Hemingway, Director of IOM; Ms. Maria Ralha, South Asia Team Leader at ECHO; and Mr. Gemmo Lodesani, WFP director, Liaison office EU. (All Brussels-based)

Home Cooks > Recipes > Browned Butter Green Beans
1 1/2 lbs. green beans, ends trimmed and rinsed
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 Tbsp. Kikkoman® Soy Sauce
1/2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
Heat one large pan (use either a skillet or a shallow pot) over medium high heat and place the green beans in it. Add the water and cover the pan. Reduce heat to medium. While the beans steam, turn your attention to the glaze.
Measure out the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, and place them beside the cooktop. Heat a medium pan. Add the butter on medium high heat. When it is melting, start to whisk it. Keep whisking, nearly constantly, as the butter browns.
When butter turns fragrant with nutty caramel notes, turn off the heat, stand back, and add the soy sauce and vinegar As soon as it is safe to come back closer to the cooktop, whisk the sauce until it is incorporated.
Return your attention to the beans: lift the cover and use tongs to toss the beans. There should still be water at the bottom of the pan. When complete, remove the cover, increase the heat to medium high, and pour the browned butter mixture over the beans (use a rubber spatula to get all of it). Toss the beans and serve immediately.

August 1, 2008
State and local government spending has been rising three times as fast as revenue amid warnings from governors that their finances are nearing crisis stage, says USA Today.
As many Americans face stagnant wages, high gas prices and job uncertainty, new government figures show that state and local governments boosted spending 7.8 percent in the second quarter compared with 2007 while revenue rose 2.5 percent. Government is on a hiring binge, too, even as private-sector jobs disappear, says USA Today.
In a move to curb spending, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger took sweeping action Thursday to pressure the Legislature to pass an overdue budget:
- He signed an order laying off up to 22,000 part-time and temporary state workers and cutting the pay of 200,000 others to the minimum wage of $6.55 per hour.
- The state is on track to spend $15 billion more than it will take in during the next year.
The robust public spending reported Thursday by the Bureau of Economic Analysis means that government can provide more services, such as smaller class sizes, bridge repairs and expanded health care, but it also could bring higher taxes. The added spending is financed mostly by debt and budget reserves:
- State and local governments are on track to spend more than $2 trillion for the first time in 2008 -- about 13 percent of the nation's gross domestic product.
- A key factor driving higher spending: New employees and higher compensation.
A large share of the new workers are teachers, police officers and prison guards, says Ron Snell, a budget analyst at the National Conference of State Legislatures. Those positions generally must be filled because of class-size rules, longer prison terms for inmates and other requirements, he says.

Chasing down Alejandro Ferllen. That's what I was doing as the ball dropped on the New Year. It wasn't for an interview or to say hello. I needed tickets to get my friend in and my license back from the doorman. After a day when Ferllen Productions' Private Mansion party was moved hours before its start from mid-Beach to Jeannette Varela's Star Island estate, yours truly was invited, then uninvited for asking insiders about the reasons for the last-minute disarray (allegedly some club owners were peeved about the party's 10:00 a.m. -- as opposed to their 5:00 a.m. -- finish line and complained to the city). But once the Latin party promoter wised up, they reinvited me in good faith. That is, until I got to the door and found that my name still wasn't on the list. I would have left if it weren't for the $30 I spent on valet parking. In the end I enjoyed the shindig, except for the $10 drinks and long lines for the powder (and I do mean powder) room. Those waits were accompanied by Venezuelan boys with annoyingly rough accents, like one who seemed straight enough but wore tight jeans that accented his toosh and a tight spandex top with the word "Kiss" in gold letters. And no, he had never heard of the legendary rock band by the same name.

The night's excitement revolved around a somewhat standoffish conversation between Fashion TV/The WOMB's Duncan Ross and Dancestar USA's Elliot Stares about the future of the Winter Music Conference. In a nutshell, Ross wanted more collaboration and less competition among WMC week's multiplying entities, and Stares tentatively agreed, but not at the expense of Dancestar's attention-grabbing awards show. After that breath of intelligent air I felt like blowing this pretentious, frothy party to be with my friends. So I spent the rest of the night in the comfy confines of Soho Lounge at Aquabooty/Backdoor Bamby's bash where people like Tomas, Joe Budious, Ana Diaz-Balart, Jasmine Kastel, and the lovely Kate Anderson reminded me that cool people still exist in 2004.

Hola Chowhounders-
I am just back from a trip to Mexico with my wife, and since we used the Mexico Chowhound site to plan many of our meals, I just wanted to report back on where we wound up. I have a separate posting for Merida, but here are my notes from Playa del Carmen-
I'd like to start by saying that, wow, Playa has way better food than any beach resort has any right to have! By straying just a little west of Avenida 5, we found some of the best Mexican food we've had anywhere. And so all due respect to the many no doubt excellent places on 5th, I'd like to strongly recommend the following places:
> CH Super Carnes -- this fun place is located in a residential neighborhood off Calle 1 South roughly in the Avenida 20-30 range. It's a longish walk from the beach, but doable, or a short cab ride. Super Carnes is a combination meat market and parrilla, so you know the meat's good. You order from maybe a dozen options, and platters arrive loaded with grilled meat and the usual sides (avocados, grilled onions, salsas, etc.) and a big stack of fresh tortillas (there's a tortilleria across the street). You sit pretty much on the sidewalk, as the tables sort of spill out of the meat market in the back. The food was outstanding and fairly cheap (< $15 for enough food to stuff both of us). And why are the avocados so damn good in Mexico?
> Carboncitos -- this places is between Avenida 5 and Avenida 10 (consecutive blocks in PDC's wierd street numbering system), maybe in the Calle 8-10 North area. It's a big place, but you can just sit out on the sidewalk and ignore the full service restaurant behind. It's open late, and we were just there for a snack (we were full from CH Super Carnes a few hours before!). We had several of the tacos al pastor, which are small but shockingly delicious. So we ordered more...and more...and more...we couldn't get enough because they were so awesome! But anyway, it's all we had. They're like $0.75!
> Dr. Tacos -- this place is widely known among tourists, but good nonetheless. It occupies a tiny space on Avenida 10 at roughly 12th-14th Calle. Basically, they have like 5-6 fishes (octopus, shrimp, squid, etc.) and chicken -- and you can get it grilled or fried -- and it comes out on a tortilla...and that's about it. But where the magic happens is the well-appointed salsa and pickled vegetable bar, which makes the tacos awesome. We ate here twice it was so good. The owner is also super friendly.
> El Fogoncito -- We had actually planned to go to Cactus for a "fancy" meal, but it was empty and had a bad vibe, so on the way back to the beach we passed this place and it was jam packed, so we checked it out. It's right off Avenida 30 in (I think) the 20s range -- across from the humoungous Mega supermarket. Like Super Carnes, it's open and spills out into the sidewalk and street, and like Super Carnes, the focus is on the grilled meats. They also have an awesome Queso Fundido with Chorizo -- heart stopping yummy. This place is maybe 30% tourist / 70% local. Crazy and loud and fun, highly recommended.
I have some pictures on my blog:

Review of "Sony PSP 3000"
"sony psp 3000"
i have used the osny psp 3000 for a long time and i have found it useful in many way s because i like to travel to places and when i get bored i always took out my psp and just used to fiddle away with it and if you are the type of person who like sto travel alot as well and get bored then i would reccomen dthis sony psp 300 as you can put umd discs in it and watch movies or play games on it and even browse the internet if you have a wifi network connected to your psp.But one thing that i would of liked to improve on the sony psp 3000 is that it could of had support for flash files which would of made the psp3000 much more popular but if you wanted to buy 1 what i would tell you from experience is that only buy this if you are the type of person who likes portable gaming with some decent graphics.
one more thing that i would say about the product is that it does support a camera so you could you it like camera but you would have to buy the camera separtly but other wise it is good for taking photos and it has skype built in with it so you can talk online.one thing i would say is that i do not yet now if video calling from the psp is avalible so you should check that before buying as i do not have a camera on my psp 3000 i was not able to check.
This psp3000 is the newest model of its kind as the psp go does not support umd so that is advantage that you have on this model and on this model you can download games and movies from online store as well so this model has a advantage over the newer model.this model is worth about £150 in the market and the games for a psp are quiet cheap compared to the ps3 so you can buy alot of games for it as well and you can take it anywhere the updates can be updated straight from the psp it self and it does not have to be connected to a computer but it will ask to be connected through a wifi network.

Hamilton and Alonso will sit next to each other at the official press conference for Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix.
Tensions between the two have mounted after Alonso responded to questions about whether he would offer the Brazilian assistance by saying: "Yes, without doubt. If I can help, I will help Massa."
Despite having won the last two Grand Prix - in Singapore and Japan - Alonso has nothing to gain from helping Massa, other than to scupper Hamilton's title ambitions.
And the Spaniard is not the only driver Hamilton has riled.
BMW's Robert Kubica, currently third in the championship race, has questioned the 23-year-old's driving, claiming he is too aggressive on the track.
He even highlighted a couple of incidents during the Italian Grand Prix when a Hamilton overtaking manoeuvre forced Toyota driver Timo Glock to put two wheels onto the grass to avoid a collision.
Massa, on the other hand, is refusing to enter a word of words with the McLaren No 1, despite Hamilton accusing him of a deliberate shunt in Fuji.
Massa, who only trails Hamilton by five points with two races remaining, said: "We have a good relationship. I am not going to take problems on the track off it, so I have no problem saying hello to him and even discuss stuff and have some fun. No problem."

Tim Burton & Danny Elfman's New 25th Anniversary Music Box
by Ethan Anderton
October 4, 2010
Source: Official Website
Even the most casual movie-goers are still familiar with composer Danny Elfman because of his frequent collaboration with fan favorite filmmaker Tim Burton. Now in celebration of their many collaborations for 25 years on 13 films, the duo have decided to release a Danny Elfman & Tim Burton 25th Anniversary Music Box, a collection of soundtracks and previously unreleased music spanning from 1985's Pee-Wee's Big Adventure all the way to 2010's Alice in Wonderland. Aside from a collection making up over 19 hours of music, there's plenty more in this limited edition release. Get all the details on this great box set below!
There will be a limited run of 1,000 sets made for sale in December for $500 (available for pre-order online right here) which includes the soundtracks to these great (and maybe not-so-great) Burton films: Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, Nightmare Before Christmas, Mars Attacks!, Sleepy Hollow, Planet of the Apes, Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, and Alice in Wonderland. In addition, there will also be music from Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Jar, the "Beetlejuice" animated series and plenty more obscure and unreleased works. All of the music also includes newly created liner notes by Danny Elfman discussing each expanded score and its bonus material.
Along with all the music (to make this worth $500) comes an exclusive DVD with an extended conversation between Burton & Elfman, a skeleton key USB drive, and a meticulously researched and lavishly illustrated 250+ page book featuring a foreword by Johnny Depp, as well as rare photos, stories and interviews from the cast & crew, not to mention more interviews with over 80 actors, writers, directors, composers, editors, singers, and more discussing the majesty of Burton and Elfman's work. All of this will be packaged in a large scale, tin-covered music box complete with an embedded music playing chip playing "The Music Box Suite" (arranged and performed by Elfman) and a working zoetrope featuring strips of art and photos by Burton and Elfman that come to life with one little spin. See the dynamic duo talk about this amazing release below.

Songs for the Revolution
Sic & Mad offers a unique and volatile molotov cocktail of garage rock, art-punk, NY hardcore, hip-hop (a la Beastie Boys), reggae, avant-garde psychedelia and ska. The intense rhythm section of the Slackers (Victor Ruggiero - guitar; Marcus Geard - bass and Ara Babajian - drums (also of Leftover Crack) provide the perfect and varied underpinning for frontman Happy's honest and intimate vocal style. His political, socially-conscious lyrics are delivered with a wry sense of humor and driven by the trio's tough drumming, versatile, expressive bass and eclectic guitar stylings. Following hot on the heels of their out-of-print first offering, '23 Blues - The Destruction of Utopia Pt. 2.' the core members rallied friends from various circles past & present including David Hillyard of The Slackers, King Django (from Stubborn All-Stars & Skinnerbox fame), Papa B (Japanese Reggae Dancehall legend from Mighty Crown family fame), DJ Mush1 (current frontman of The Scorchers, former trumpeter of The Slackers) and various other close and dear friends. Sic & Mad was started by the mysteriously charming and disarming Happy (aka Michael Weininger) and Victor Ruggiero in 1986 as freshmen in high school. Their chief aim at the time was to impress the only punk girl- pretty and newly-transferred- in their suburban town in Westchester, NY. Inspired by the underground punk, ska, reggae, rap, and hardcore of that period, Sic & MAD would eventually spawn NYC ska heavyweights The Slackers, which Vic Ruggiero currently heads. Through the years, Sic & Mad has shared stages with inspirational underground forces such as The Slackers, Agent 99, Skinnerbox, Stubborn All-Stars, Leftover Crack, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Inspecter Seven, The Casualties and many, many more. Members of the band have also recorded and toured with influential alternative and mainstream acts such as Rancid, Murphy's Law, Pink, Leftover Crack, Agent Orange, The Toasters and The Transplants. The band cites a wide variety of musical influences including but not limited to Dead Kennedys, Run DMC, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Murphy's Law, Beastie Boys, Sick of it All, LKJ, BDP, Mutabaruka, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Muddy Waters, Madness and The Specials.

By the mid-18th century new fashions in poetry emerged. A decade after Pope's death, Joseph Warton claimed that Pope's style of poetry was not the most excellent form of the art. The Romantic movement that rose to prominence in early 19th-century England was more ambivalent towards his work. Though Lord Byron identified Pope as one of his chief influences (believing his scathing satire of contemporary English literature English Bards and Scotch Reviewers to be a continuance of Pope's tradition), William Wordsworth found Pope's style fundamentally too decadent a representation of the human condition.[4] George Gilfillan in his study of 1856 described Pope's talent as 'a rose peering into the summer air, fine, rather than powerful,[23]
In the 20th century Pope's reputation was revived. Pope's work was found to be full of references to the people and places of his time, and these aided people's understanding of the past. The postwar period stressed the power of Pope's poetry, recognising that Pope's immersion in Christian and Biblical culture lent depth to his poetry. Maynard Mack thought highly of Pope's poetry, arguing that Pope's moral vision demanded as much respect as his technical excellence. In the years 1953–1967 the production of the definitive Twickenham edition of Pope's poems was published in ten volumes.[4]
Modern criticism of Pope focuses on the man, his circumstances and motivations, prompted by theoretical perspectives such as Marxism, feminism and other forms of post-structuralism. Brean Hammond focuses on Pope's singular achievement in making an independent living solely from his writing. Laura Brown (1985) adopts a Marxist approach and accuses Pope of being an apologist for the oppressive upper classes. Hammond (1986) has studied Pope's work from the perspectives of cultural materialism and new historicism. Along Hammond's lines, Raymond Williams explains art as a set of practices influenced by broad cultural factors rather than simply the vague ideas of genius alone.[4] Hayden Carruth, wrote that it was "Pope's rationalism and pandeism with which he wrote the greatest mock-epic in English literature."[24]
In Politics and Poetics of Transgression (1985) Peter Stallybrass and Allon White charge that Pope drew upon the low culture which he despised in order to produce his own "high art". They assert Pope was implicated in the very material he was attempting to exclude, not dissimilar to observations made in Pope's time.[4] Colin Nicholson reads the poetry in terms of the Financial Revolution, showing how Pope responded to the corruption of the traditional 'landed interest' by the newly dominant 'moneyed interest'.[25]
Feminists have also criticised Pope's works. Ellen Pollak's The Poetics of Sexual Myth (1985) argues that Pope followed an anti-feminist tradition, that regarded women as inferior to men both intellectually and physically. Carolyn Williams contends that a crisis in the male role during the 18th century in Britain impacted Pope and his writing.[4]

A US federal judge in New York says that the Huffington Post and its parent company, AOL, don't have to pay bloggers who provide content for the website.
US District Judge John Koeltl dismissed a lawsuit that bloggers filed last year, saying they were unjustly denied compensation for their work.
The bloggers were seeking class-action status for the lawsuit.
The lawsuit was prompted by AOL Inc's $US315 million ($304.16 million) purchase of the Huffington Post last year.
The bloggers claimed that the website unjustly profited from their work, promising only exposure.
In dismissing the suit, the judge said the bloggers knew from the start that they wouldn't be paid and could have taken their work elsewhere.

Jami Gertz
Jump to
A wide-eyed, dark-haired performer, Jami Gertz won a nationwide talent search sponsored by producer Norman Lear and was cast at age 16 in the breakout role of preppy Muffy Tepperman in the short-lived CBS sitcom "Square Pegs" (1982-83) featuring Sarah Jessica Parker. With her parents' permission, the young actress left her home in Illinois and settled in L.A. to play the snobbish Muffy. Following the demise of "Square Pegs," Gertz went on to a recurring role on NBC's "The Facts of Life" in 1983 and a co-starring berth on the equally short-lived John Stamos vehicle "Dreams" (CBS, 1984). Although she had made her feature film debut in the notorious bomb "Endless Love" (1981) and had supporting roles in "Sixteen Candles" and "Alphabet City" (both 1984), the actress landed her first starring role opposite Kevin Bacon in "Quicksilver" (1986). Later that year, Gertz was seen both on stage (in "Out of Gas on Lover's Leap" in L.A.) and on screen (in "Solarbabies") opposite Jason Patric, with whom she also co-starred in "The Lost Boys" (1987), Joel Schumacher's stylish vampire thriller. She went on to do fine work in films that didn't click with either critics or the public. Gertz was impressive as a vacuous, rich party girl in the drug-soaked world of "Less Than Zero" (1987), as Kirk Cameron's fellow college debate team member in "Listen to Me" (1989) and as Kirstie Alley's critical sister in "Sibling Rivalry" (1990).

A quality beat maker offer an effective pad technology that allows you to definitely edit the amount and sounds of each one pad and the capability to play pads which may have triggers.. Now, with beat software an internet-based music distribution entities you'll be able to shoot your music to a large number of agencies, artists, news publications, and anywhere else you choose when you finish recording your track for free. . A good, solid, high-quality program I recommend which won't amount to an arm plus a leg is Sonic Producer.. Determine the music you wish to create. This could mean that you'll select some other software for hip hop than you'd probably for country music..
Computer keyboard triggers to let you use your keyboard to record and play drum beats and music notes.. That is why the music activity industry is a great deal larger today. Now, the only thing you must have if you need to produce music professionally could be the will to take action. . Sure, everyone knows there are some fun programs around which might be easy enough to learn around with, however, not the type of audio production software for that seriously aspiring. . Determine if you're spontaneous producer or a structured mind. . Logic Pro created by Apple for mac are fantastic and give your music amazing results, these are very popular choices created by producers as sequencers as a result of amount of items that come with the software to enhance your music..
Ideally you'd be in a position to lay out every one of the piano keys or possibly a drum kit on your keyboard in order to play and never have to move your mouse and click on. Being capable of hit the keys directly is indeed much faster.. Don't look for a software you are feeling is going to slow your studio or is always to much for your studio, pick what you really feel is right and what you are confident with.. When recording having a mic, usually a condenser mic is much more popular with regards to recording vocals. . If the audio music effects added do not compliment the overall music "feel" it may alter the quality of the music activity in a negative light.. If you happen to be looking to make music with your personal computer you should first considering having some type of computer with the necessary capabilities as a way to run the audio production softwares smoothly. .
You can come up from different styles of music and from professionally mastered samples, in some instances more than you may well ever need. . The reason that this might make a difference is perhaps you can get sued in the event you sell music using pre-made parts or samples you do not own the rights to... Never before has urban beat production be so fun, inexpensive, and simple! It is exceedingly simple to use and excellent. . Of course, you would like your music to sound good, but you do not want to end up using a program or software containing way too many complicated features with an interface that could as well be in the different language.. Typically the base line creates the signature associated with a beat based song or music track. Then matching a catchy drum beat using the base line becomes the next phase. .
While beat software program is extremely popular within the music industry it can be still new enough to when a lot from the public still has a really limited knowledge of it. .
If you've got a not too large of an budget I wouldn't worry because you can get some fairly good software for pretty cheap. . The latest audio production software should have not only the essential editing tools such as cut, copy paste, recording tools and also should contain other unique tools for example mixers, preset effects, filters and analyzing tools like waveform.. Picking the correct music making software can also depend on what you have to spend. Some of the more costly tools can cost more than 500 dollars, but offer generally the same features.. The crux of this software packages are its pattern sequence editor interface. This makes creating beats an easy to follow visual experience. . If you have been searching for the best music production software available that is simple to operate, full of recording studio quality features yet staying affordable, this informative guide will hopefully help one to finally find what you have been looking for..
