I hate to say it but white manginas operate in the same fashion in the workplace. I knew one guy that constantly yelled at, and tried to intimidate workers, until one day he pushed the wrong worker and the guy almost choked him to death.
A week later the white mangina boss was lying claiming that "he was only playing with the guy and the guy TOOK IT TOO FAR." Same mentality as a female.

Comparative phytosociological investigation of subalpine alder thickets in southwestern Alaska and the North Pacific

We present the first vegetation analysis of subalpine alder (Alnus viridis) thickets in southwestern Alaska. The data are primarily from mesic, hilly and mountainous sites ranging from the westernmost tip of the Alaska Peninsula to the northern Kenai Peninsula, spanning 1,000 km on an E–W gradient and 700 km on a N–S gradient. 127 relevés from 18 sites represent the range of structural and compositional variation in the matrix of vegetation and landform diversity. Data were analyzed by multivariate and traditional Braun-Blanquet methods. One association is distinguished, Sambuco racemosi-Alnetum viridis ass. nov. with three new subassociations, oplopanacetosum horridi, typicum, and rubetosum spectabilis with the latter subdivided into four variants. These phytocoena are well-differentiated, although they form a syntaxonomical continuum. The composition and structure of these communities are described and interpreted in relation to complex environmental factors; these are analyzed using Jancey's ranking on F-values. Community composition is primarily related to elevation, longitude, soil moisture, and latitude. Phytogeographic comparison of southwestern Alaska alder communities with those elsewhere in the North Pacific suggests a close floristic relationship to those of southcentral, southeastern Alaska and coastal British Columbia, Canada. All these communities belong to the same association, while those of the eastern and southern parts of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia belong to a different association. Syntaxonomy of the 4 major communities is discussed. Within the Northern Hemisphere, vascular plant species of southwestern Alaska alder thickets primarily occur in East Asia and North America, 36 %; while 26 % are circumpolar, and 22 % are restricted to North America. From a latitudinal perspective, the distribution of vascular plant species within these alder thickets peaks in the high-subarctic, low-subarctic, and temperate latitudinal zones, with low representation of arctic species.

Church Fellowship and the Ecclesia Augustana
Coming from a WELS perspective, the topic of church fellowship has long been controversial. The WELS Theses on Church Fellowship claim that "Church fellowship is every joint expression, manifestation, and demonstration of the common faith in which Christians on the basis of their confession find themselves to be united with one another." This may come as a shock to anyone who knows me, but I actually agree with the WELS on this. I don't think it is our job to try to determine some ambiguous "levels" of fellowship. Nor when the Lord said to treat the errant in our midst as a "heathen and a tax collector" or to "beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves," do I think that He actually meant "don't let them preach or take Communion with you, but feel free to pray and do charity work with them whenever you like."
What's more, I agree with the WELS Theses when they further say: "in selecting specific individuals or groups for a joint expression of faith, we can do this only on the basis of their confession. It would be presumptuous on our part to attempt to recognize Christians on the basis of the personal faith in their hearts." Indeed, knowing what someone truly believes is an impossible task for anyone but God, "for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." Moreover, the Lord has told us that "every tree is known by its own fruit," so we can only judge a person in terms of their actions and confession. If someone does not share our mutual confession, they should be excluded from our mutual fellowship.
But what happens when someone claims to share our mutual confession, but is living and acting in direct contradiction to that confession? Or, even more sadly, what if someone does share our mutual confession, but our man-made church body (vis a vis "[a] spoonful of letters one might fish out of a bowl of alphabet soup") tells us that they do not?
As someone whose home parish is affiliated with the WELS, I have struggled with both of these questions quite a bit. There are many people in the LCMS, ALCA, et al. who share my confession of faith. It pains me that my man-made church body tells me that I am not in fellowship with these people. At the same time, there are a large number of laymen and pastors in the WELS whose statements, worship, and actions indicate that they do not agree with what they claim is our shared confession. I would rather commune with someone in the former category than those in the latter any day of the week. Is this a violation of church fellowship principles?
I would contend that it is not a violation. Moreover, I would argue that it is a violation of church fellowship principles to commune with someone who does not share our confession of the Augustana and everything that entails, even if they pretend to be in fellowship with us; yes, even if they are a member of our man-made institution.
Without a doubt, this will not be a popular philosophy. We like the comforting notion that the Holy Spirit "has preserved all 400,000 members of the WELS in 100% doctrinal unity," to paraphrase a sermon I once heard. But such notions are really more destructive than they are comforting. God the Holy Spirit has promised no such unity to our man-made institutions; rather, "He calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies the whole Christian Church on earth, and keeps it with Jesus Christ in the one true faith; in which Christian Church He forgives daily and richly all sins to me and all believers, and at the last day will raise up me and all the dead, and will give to me and to all believers in Christ everlasting life. This is most certainly true." This is the unity that the Holy Spirit grants us on earth. And by His grace we have also been granted a unity of confession in the Ecclesia Augustana. If only we would stop shying away from this unity and embrace it - in spite of alphabet soup.

My point exactly. On paper they are in fellowship, so we can commune them without a question. On the other hand that confessional LCMS guy is heterdox because he's in the LCMS. Ridiculous I say!ReplyDelete
Case in point, Mr. Moseley, I would rather commune with you than with many WELS folks. Thanks for commenting!ReplyDelete
We defend our fellowship doctrine usually with 2 John 8-11. My concern with this is we take a particulr caution and apply it far too broadly. Verse 10 states that anyone who "comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him". The following verse states if we do take him in we share in his "wicked work".ReplyDelete
What teaching is John referring? I believe verse 7 is key: "Many who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh..." There is no reference here to a church body's doctrine on Men and Women Roles, or doctrine on baptism: infant or adult.
God's word states that those who believe that Jesus is the Christ and that their sins are forgiven for Jesus' sake has eternal life. This is not a difficult concept to understand. I believe in the salvific work of our Triune God and am saved. We have added so much to this command not intended.
Do you take fellowship seriously? Then do not separate yourself from those God has justified! To say that we can not fellowship with other believers is an insidious undermining of God's command to love our neighbors. What? Am l to love you but refuse to associate with you? Your my brother or sister in Jesus, but l really can not have anythibg to do with you?
No, the Holy Spirit is clear. If you deny the truth of who Jesus is you are not a Christian and therefore I do not fellowship with you.
If they do not believe what God has Divinely revealed to us, then are they believers? Christ says "unless one is born of water and the word, he shall not enter the Kingdom of heaven." Christ says "unless you eat My Flesh and drink My Blood, you have no life in you." Christ says "this is the work of God: to believe the One He has sent." If you don't believe these simple, unambiguous statements, then in what sense are you a believer?ReplyDeleteReplies
In what sense does believing there is no difference between roles of men and women indicate that a person is not a Christian?Delete
Also, you have not refuted my statement about 2 John. Unless I am misunderstanding the text or have the wrong verse our fellowship doctrine has misapplied Biblical truth.
My understanding of salvation is that we are saved by the free gift of faith through no merit of our own.

Ecclesia Augustana should require each of her communicants to pledge his life in defense of the entire BOC. But should this same fellowship standard be imposed on those seeking Holy Baptism and Holy Absolution?ReplyDelete
No. "the common faith in which Christians on the basis of their confession find themselves to be united with one another" that is necessary for baptismal and absolution fellowship is not at the same level of fellowship that is required for communion fellowship. No one should be denied baptism and/or absolution fellowship because he is unwilling to confess the entirety of the BOC as long as he professes no error (LC, Baptism, 54; AC, XII).
I suggest WELS scrap her fellowship theses and follow the fellowship principles of the BOC. "this declaration herewith presented concerning all the controverted articles aforementioned and explained, and no other, is our faith, doctrine, and confession..." FC, SD, XII.
Daniel GormanReplies
Mr. Gorman, I don't think failure to subscribe to the BoC is necessarily a bar on Communion fellowship either - assuming no error is professed. The BoC is not the only Confession of faith; it's not the first and it won't be the last. It is okay for different groups to express the same beliefs differently. The problem is when we pretend to be in fellowship when there is clear disagreement on one side or the other.Delete
- AnonymousJanuary 3, 2013 at 7:33 AM
From 1973-1977, I belonged to a FAL church that required each communicant to publicly confess the entire BOC. I prefer that level of examination. However, I am not offended by churches that accept a far lower standard of examination consistent with the BOC.Delete
My main point was what the examination that precedes communion is necessarily different from the examination that precedes baptism and absolution. Luther proposed different questions for baptismal and absolution candidates than he did for communicants.
Even Luther's one question, "Dost thou believe that my forgiveness is God's forgiveness?" seems too onerous for the TLH/LSB/CW revised Common Service. The LCMS and WELS level of absolution fellowship is everyone in the church who reads the liturgy!
What level of examination is required for prayer fellowship? Did any of the church fathers leave us an example of the type of questions we should be asking?

We've seen it all, heard it all, read it all. We are obsessed with pitting ourselves against one another and forever pulling the short straw. In comparison, we can always do better. Live better. Love and be loved better. However, what's to say their's IS better? We have been told time and again that what's shared on social media is the best collated version of life, yet we all still find ourselves staring wistfully at the life of others, drawing inane comparisons on how much better off they are to us. We pine after stylishly coordinated couples or perfectly meme-worthy synchronised snaps, wistfully wishing it were us. We stalk Pinterest boards and subscribe to every retail newsletter in a bid to recreate a look that's so structurally perfect yet seemingly laissez-faire. Why?
Hat : Marks & Spencer | Jumper : H&M | Coat : River Island | Leggings : Mango
#BaeWatch: With 2016 being a leap year, out of the abyss of Black Twitter rose the trending topic #MoveToBoys2016. The idea behind it being relatively self explanatory; females could approach their love interests and express their interest in pursuing a romantic relationship. Away with patriarchal social conventions apparently. Much debate circulated as to whether this was a desperate attempt or a movement to be welcomed as a means of female empowerment? Let's 'fess up to the truth that females jump on such trends because in 2016, the fact of the matter is, we still think we need to claim
or be attached to a man to be valid in society. And by valid, I mean being recognised as successful, beautiful, worthy, etc. That's why we pine after couple images and celebrity unions, some of whom have clocked and are capitalising off society's obsession and deeming their unions, ministries. But thats a story for another day, all you Boaz hunters, your post is loading. In 2016, I challenge us to spend less time watching others live their lives and find their true loves, and instead, invest our time in cultivating meaningful and worthwhile relationships, both with ourselves and others.

#BoutThatLife: ill-fitted coats are at an all time high in this generation. By that, I'm fondling (for want of a better term) with the adage of cutting one's coat according to size. Unfortunately for us, we are all the more aware of our neighbour's accomplishments, earnings capacity, holiday entitlement, allowance and experiences, personal taste...more so now, than ever before. As a result, we find ourselves pitting their lifestyle against ours, and drafting means of attaining their's on our budget. Some succeed, while others fail. Overdrafts, credit cards and lay-aways, all in the name of a perfectly curated lifestyle snapshot. I have heard first-hand individuals admit to falling into debt as a result of a holiday too many. Racks on racks of designer shoes that'll never grace anything but your immaculate IKEA MALM shelves you displayed on instagram's #ShoesdayTuesday. Let go of your stake in someone else's life, and carve out a better means of living yours, truly.
#ZeroToHero: millennials' goals aren't aspirational, they are out of this world and unrealistic; pushing you beyond your capabilities. Not only that, but we aspire to these unattainable goals at insane timescales. Perseverance, hardwork and cultivating a good work ethic has been replaced with instafamous broads. Shameless self-promotion is now idolised, rather than berated, as it once was in the past. I remember watching a YouTuber squeal everytime she shamelessly plugged her content, deeming it gratuitous. Now, its the norm. Admittedly, its only human to stare at a feed's inspiring image and yearn for whatever is being displayed, but that is by no means synonymous with my life's aspirations and ultimate desires. Growing accustomed to instant gratification, we are grooming a generation, impatient for success, yet hungry for perfection. Obsessing over the fortune of others, and cultivating a culture that accepts that as the norm, only serves to breed deeper self-battles with inferiority.
Its time we redefined goals as a desired result an individual envisions and commits to achieving within a realistic timescale. Lets seek to erase its negative connotation with envy, the buyer's remorse of spending beyond our means, or guilt of counterpart backbiting. Leave virtual hero-worshipping in 2015, along with all the other bad habits we sought to shed. Lets reclaim self-development, especially in this brand new resolutions season. Lets rebrand what was lost, and renew our zeal to be and do better this new year.
"The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals" Melody Beattie

Bob Saget: Clean-cut and filthy (uncensored version)
Bob Saget was pondering his status as comedy's reigning filth monger at a Santa Monica cafe recently.
"You play a guy who's clean-cut and never curses for eight years, like I did on 'Full House,' and people think that's who you are," said Saget, who will be roasted on Comedy Central Aug. 17. "And then you talk really dirty in your act, and people think that's who you are."
The 52-year-old pauses, and a sheepish look crosses his still-boyish face. "Ah, I'm still doing it," he admits. "I talked to Don Rickles last week, and he said, 'So I watched your HBO special; I really liked it, but you left out two f-words.' My response was, 'I know. If I had only put in 200 less.'"
This is the uncensored version of this story. For the G-rated version, click here.
It's a surprisingly repentant statement from a comic whose stand-up has quashed his wholesome TV image as "Full House" dad Danny Tanner and as the grinning host of "America's Funniest Home Videos" in the late 1980s and 1990s.
During the 13 years since "Full House" wrapped its last episode (only to continue in endless syndication), neither Saget nor the Olsen twins, who shared the role of his youngest TV daughter, have lived up to the expectations of some.
While Mary-Kate and Ashley have become billionaire moguls and the targets of vociferous tabloid reportage, Saget has mocked his own sugary image with joke songs, such as "Danny Tanner Is Not Gay" and "My Dog Licked My Balls."
"For the record, he made the first move," Saget said.
Saget's stand-up, in his words, has always been "perverted," but that did not become widely known until he was asked to appear in the 2005 documentary, "The Aristocrats," in which he out-raunched 100 other comedians. Since then, Saget has sold out stadiums and college theaters with an act so over-the-top nasty that it is outrageous even in a comedy zeitgeist already pushed to Sarah Silverman extremes.
His stream-of-consciousness riffs about incest, date rape, snuff films, bestiality and every possible bodily fluid are "a word salad of language so blisteringly blue that a potential diagnosis, as Saget freely admits on HBO, of Tourette's syndrome cannot be ruled out," the Washington Post said.
The promos for his Comedy Central roast feature Saget admonishing a donkey for trying to sniff his privates.
Even when he's riffing about his synagogue, Kehillat Israel in Pacific Palisades, an animal somehow enters the picture.
"We have a great synagogue
Saget also has the reputation, among those who know him, to be as kind as he can be crude. A few days after the taping of his Comedy Central roast, he publicly protested the vulgar Olsen jokes proffered by roast master John Stamos (another "Full House" co-star) and dais participants, such as Gilbert Gottfried.
"Anybody who talks about my TV kids
Saget was more measured about the roast several days later: "Some of the comedy for sure crossed the line," he said in an e-mail. "It's a roast, and they went for it. I also believe in freedom of speech, and the comedians meant no harm."
Saget said he gets to look at the final edit and that "Comedy Central has been incredibly collaborative. The director-producer, Joel Gallen, is very talented … and also has helped to talk me off of ledges over many aspects of this roast.
"I think it's a very funny show, but it's not for everyone," he added, delicately."
Saget's Kehillat Israel shows are far cleaner. He joined the congregation with his ex-wife, Sherri, in 1990, and their three daughters (now ages 15 to 21) had their bat mitzvahs there.
The synagogue's rabbi, Steven Carr Reuben, is a fan: "Bob has appeared at almost every major event we've hosted in the last 15 years," he said. "He once admitted to me that temple shows are the hardest to do, because he has to censor himself.
"Bob is particularly funny because he has this dual, schizophrenic reputation from the G-rated family shows to the X-rated stand-up show," the rabbi added. "I appreciate his humor, because I know where it comes from: a sweet and loving way of communicating with people.
"Some comedy is cutting, but Bob's humor is always designed for us to see the funny side of ourselves in difficult situations. He'll be in the hospital visiting someone and making a joke about people's catheters. It's uncomfortable but funny, too."
In person, Saget is warm and approachable; wears jeans and sneakers and speaks in the same stream-of-consciousness style he uses in his act. Over the course of two hours, he veers from a critical dissection of his neuroses ("I'm ADD for sure," he said during the interview. "I've been Uri Gellering this spoon for half an hour."); to his 2007 HBO special, "Bob Saget: That Ain't Right"; to his recent shift to "actor mode," with a Broadway turn in "The Drowsy Chaperone" and a new CW sitcom, "Surviving Suburbia," in which he plays a disgruntled family man.

Giants rally in ninth to top TigersJul 2, 2011 - 6:58 AM
Aaron Rowand went 3-for-5 and scored twice for the Giants, who snapped a two- game losing streak.
Starter Madison Bumgarner tossed 7 1/3 solid innings, allowing just one run on five hits, but did not factor into the decision.
It wasn't a good night for either closer. Brian Wilson (6-1) blew his fourth save in the eighth, but still picked up the win after San Francisco sent nine batters to the plate in the ninth and scored three runs.
Detroit closer Jose Valverde (2-3) suffered the loss after giving up three runs on three hits and two walks in less than an inning. The loss wasted a solid start by Brad Penny, who pitched seven innings of one-run ball. He allowed just seven hits and struck out two for Detroit, which has dropped three of its last four games.
With San Francisco holding a 1-0 lead, Bumgarner walked Brandon Inge with one out in the eighth and Sergio Romo was called upon to face pinch-hitter Andy Dirks, who flied out to right.
Javier Lopez then took over and put the tying run on third when Brennan Boesch punched a single to center.
The famed bearded Wilson came in to try to get out of the jam, but Magglio Ordonez slapped a single through the right side to score Inge and knot the game. It was Wilson's second blown save in as many days.
The runners advanced to second and third on a wild pitch with Miguel Cabrera in the batter's box, but Wilson jammed him for a pop out to first to end the inning.
San Francisco, though, answered in the ninth to take the lead back. With Valverde on the mound, Chris Stewart led off with a double and Rowand singled to put runners on the corners. After Emmanuel Burriss struck out, Sandoval came up and drilled the ball deep into left-center and it bounced over the wall for a ground-rule double to give the Giants the lead.
Valverde then intentionally walked Aubrey Huff to load the bases and got Cody Ross to pop out for the second out. However, the closer lost his control and walked Nate Schierholtz to give the Giants an insurance run.
Brayan Villarreal replaced Valverde, but the result was the same as he walked in another run with a free pass to Brandon Crawford to give the Giants a 4-1 advantage.
"We waited to get all our runs in the ninth," Stewart said. "We will take whatever we can get. We trust that one run in the ninth is enough with our pitching staff, but sometimes things don't go that way."
The Tigers did not go quietly, though, after getting back-to-back singles to start the bottom of the ninth. They later loaded the bags with an Alex Avila walk.
Inge singled in Victor Martinez and Dirks reached on Burriss' fielding error that allowed Ryan Raburn to score. However, the Giants held on for the win as Boesch lined to short for a game-ending unassisted double play. Jeremy Affeldt, who faced the last two batters, recorded his third save.
"They got a couple runs unfortunately and it takes the wind out of our sails," Detroit outfielder Casper Wells said. "We got some confidence going in the ninth with some hits. Unfortunately we came up a little short."
Wells threw out Rowand at the plate in the first inning try to score on a foul pop up off the bat of Sandoval.
The Giants broke a scoreless game in the fifth thanks to the red-hot hitting of Sandoval. With Rowand on second and two down, Sandoval extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a double into the left-center gap that plated the run.
Game Notes
The Tigers placed right-handed pitcher Al Alburquerque on the 15-day disabled list before the game (retroactive to June 30) with right forearm flexor mass inflammation. The club recalled right-handed pitcher Lester Oliveros from Triple A Toledo to fill the roster spot. He pitched a scoreless eighth inning in his major league debut...San Francisco's Pat Burrell was supposed to bat DH but was scratched because of right foot soreness...The Giants improved to 23-12 in one-run games this season...The Tigers dropped to 4-4 on a 10-game homestand.

I am making this dress for prom, and had it almost finished, but the marking chalk won't come out! I realize this is my fault, as I didn't read the directions on the chalk and stupidly used a blue chalk on a light color fabric (it shows right through the other side!).
So now I'm stuck with what would be a pretty dress, but with big blue marks and numbers all over it! I definitely need help on getting these marks off!
If it helps, the fabric is satin and the chalk is blue "project runway" chalk and some of the marks are blue "project runway" tracing paper.
please be kind. i've learned my lesson and really don't have time to remake the whole dress, nor the money to buy more fabric, so if anyone knows how to get these horrid blue marks out, please, please help me... ;''(

Unanswered: Mirgration from MySQL
I'm currently testing PostgresQL and began by trying to import tables from my existing MySQL db using pgAdminII. The data transfers but with out the primary keys and indexes. PgAdminII will not let me add a primary key after import. The migration from MsAccess appears to work fine. What's up with this? Is there a better mirgration plan?

Jessica Jones, Programs Assistant
With 24 nails and one needle drilled into her hands, legs and forehead, Daneris Ariyawathie made the long journey across the Arabian Sea back to her home in Sri Lanka in early September to receive medical attention from the physical abuse she endured on her job. Like many women in Sri Lanki, Daneris sought what she thought to be an auspicious employment opportunity and immigrated to Saudi Arabia in March of 2010 in order to work as a domestic worker. When she complained about her grueling workload, her employers physically reprimanded her, forcing nails and needles, some up to 5cm long, into her body.
Domestic workers are an especially vulnerable demographic of the migrant workers population as they lack the protections that most migrant workers receive under legal provisions such as weekly rest, salaries and health insurance. Employers seeking a domestic worker will sponsor the visa and appropriate paperwork for their domestic worker(s), giving the employer power over their work and immigration status, ultimately, entitling the employer to an unjust sense of ownership. After arriving in their new country, unbeknown, domestic workers are often confined to the house in which they work, sometimes even locked in, and their passports are confiscated. Additionally, because these sponsorship programs are so closely tied to the employers, the domestic workers have little hope for changing their employment status. In fact, in Saudi Arabia, domestic workers are excluded from the protection of labor laws, essentially allowing employers to exert complete control over their domestic workers. In the case of Daneris, Amnesty International had demanded that the Saudi Arabian government investigate this case; however, some evidence demonstrates that it was reported prior to Daneris' departure and the government neglected to move on the issue.

Calcutta, Nov. 7: Without a head, an affiliation and examinations, here is one school that can easily rank as one of the few influential, resource-rich and independent institutions in the state.
In a scenario where the government sits in judgement on the fate of educational institutions, the party school that opened today is actually capable of throwing a scare to the government, if necessary.
State CPM secretary Anil Biswas inaugurated the school to educate party members on Marxism at 80 AJC Bose Road the former office of the partys Calcutta District Committee.
The classrooms, benches and blackboards may be like any other school but there is a difference the students would be adults, members of the Calcutta District Committee, and there will not be a headmaster to rein them.
The CPM leadership has already drafted a syllabus that will be taught daily, with additional classes on Sundays.
The students will learn to apply Marxism in the changed scenario of Indian politics. Though there will not be a written examination to cap a term, the students performances will be judged by a clutch of 21 teachers all senior CPM state secretariat members, including like Anil Biswas, Nirupam Sen, Benoy Konar and Goutam Deb.
The members of the district committee, all prospective students, were visibly enthused about the opening of the school.
The auditorium at the new district committee office, where leaders like Jyoti Basu and Biswas addressed the members and explained the reasons behind renewing their efforts to run the school, was packed to capacity.
Several party members stood outside the auditorium trying to listen to their leaders.
I was really stunned that a party like ours did not open a school for so many years. I asked Anil and others why they were not taking the initiative. Ninety per cent of our party members are young men and women and they require proper training and education on Marxism and its application. We consider Marxism as science and we have to study it thoroughly and properly. Even leaders like me should attend the school, Basu said this evening.
He also underlined the need for such a school at a time when a section of the party had become corrupt and greedy. Can we say with confidence that none of us are corrupt' Panchayats now are handling huge amounts of money and, as a result, some of our members and leaders have become corrupt. This school, if opened earlier, could have checked this trend, he added.
Biswas backed Basu. We are really grateful to Jyotibabu. He raised the issue in politburo meetings and in public. We are happy that we have finally opened the school, he said.

As infinite number of photons continue to bombard my abode, the tall standing saints continue to soak in their energy.
Despite knowing that this is probably their final dose for the day, they continue to simply absorb the tremendous energy that is being thrown at them. No sorrow of separation. No fear of the point of no return. They simply stand with closed eyes and perfect bliss, consuming, savouring every ounce of the juice of life within themselves.
Blessed are those who can witness this dance of life. Cursed are those who simply can not see for it happens at the windows and door steps of all, for all to see. Bhairavi couldn't contain her joy on seeing it. She was full of 'surrender'. "Who would worry about rebirth if this sight could be witnessed every single day of one's life", she wondered. Lost in the magnificence of what she saw, she no longer knew which is God – the source of life or life?

Mixed bag of emotions
Stuart, Wheeler visit
Credit: Winslow Townson
When the Bruins raised the Stanley Cup in June, it was a bittersweet moment for Blake Wheeler and Mark Stuart.
Just a few months before that, both were wearing Black 'n' Gold. But on Feb. 18, they were dished to the Atlanta Thrashers for Rich Peverley, minor leaguer Boris Valabik and a little bit of cap space to fit Tomas Kaberle, who was obtained earlier that day from Toronto.
Both players were happy for the many friends they still have on the B's, but it was understandably tough to watch.

Consumerism Is Keynesianism
December 13, 2010
One of the most pernicious and widespread economic fallacies is the belief that consumption is the key to a healthy economy. This belief is an inheritance of misguided Keynesian thinking. Production, not consumption, is the source of wealth. If we want a healthy economy, we need to create the conditions under which producers can get on with the process of creating wealth for others to consume, and under which households and firms can engage in the saving necessary to finance that production, says Steven Horwitz, the Charles A. Dana Professor of Economics at St. Lawrence University.
- Wealth is created through acts of production that rearrange resources in ways people value more than alternative arrangements.
- These acts are financed with savings that come from households refraining from consumption.
- Putting more resources in the hands of consumers through a government stimulus package fails precisely because the wealth transferred ultimately hasto come from producers.
- This is obvious when the spending is financed by taxation, but it's equally true for deficit spending and inflation.
Before the Keynesian revolution the standard belief among economists was that production was the source of demand and that encouraging saving and production was the way to generate economic growth, says Horwitz.
Thanks to Keynesianism, manipulating the elements of total income (consumption, investment and government spending) became the focus of macroeconomic policy and economic development. It was the Keynesians' theoretical framework that led to the development of the relevant national income statistics and that implicitly informs the popular arguments for more consumption.
For over 150 years defenders of free markets saw consumption as destroying wealth, and saving and production as creating it. They never argued that "stimulating consumption" was the path toward prosperity, says Horwitz.

Top editors at Australian newspapers The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald resigned on Monday, after parent company Fairfax last week announced an overhaul designed to embrace the digital era. Peter Fray, publisher and editor-in-chief at the 180-year-old Sydney paper, and its first female editor Amanda Wilson, said they were leaving, as did The Age\'s editor-in-chief Paul Ramadge, the papers said on their websites. The resignations follow last week\'s shock announcement that Fairfax will slash about 1,900 jobs and downside The Herald and The Age from broadsheet to tabloid size and put the two dailies\' websites behind a paywall. \"We are saying farewell to two champions of our profession, and their decision to leave brings to a close two very distinguished careers with Fairfax,\" Fairfax editorial director Garry Linnell said of Fray and Wilson. Ramadge said he was leaving the influential Melbourne newspaper with \"divided feelings\" after several weeks of talks, but added that he backed the group\'s new direction. \"The time feels right for me now to go and to chase things away from the mothership,\" he told his newsroom. \"It is in no way a sign that I disagree with the strategy announced last week. The strategy is right. Another era is about to begin and I will be among those cheering from the sidelines.\" The Australian media sector is enduring a turbulent period, with the two major newspaper groups Fairfax and Rupert Murdoch\'s News Limited both flagging large job cuts last week. News is yet to nominate how many positions will go from among its staff of 11,000 but reports put the figure at 1,000 to 1,500 as media companies lose readers and advertisers in the switch to online platforms. At the same time, mining magnate Gina Rinehart has increased her stake in Fairfax, provoking fears she will seek to assert her influence on the newspapers which are known for their integrity and professionalism.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) are uniquely structured investments that track indexes, commodities or baskets of assets. Like stocks, ETFs can be purchased on margin and sold short, and prices fluctuate throughout each trading session as shares are bought and sold on various exchanges.
ETFs have become standard in many investors' portfolios, due in part to the many benefits of ETF investing, including their tax efficiency. Due to the method by which ETFs are created and redeemed, investors are able to delay paying most capital gains until an ETF is sold. As with any investment, it is important for investors to understand the tax implications of ETFs prior to investing. Here we will introduce asset classes, structures and the tax treatment of exchange traded funds.
ETF Asset Class and Structure
The way that an ETF is taxed is determined by its method of gaining exposure to its underlying assets, its structure and the amount of time that the ETF is held.
Exchange traded funds can be categorized into one of five asset classes:
Equity funds (market indexes, stocks)
Fixed income funds (bonds)
Commodity funds (tangible goods)
Currency funds (foreign currency)
Alternative funds (multiple asset classes or nontraditional assets)
For taxation purposes, ETFs are further categorized by one of five fund structures:
Open-end funds
Unit investment trusts (UITs)
Grantor trusts
Limited partnerships (LPs)
Exchange-traded notes (ETNs)
ETF Tax Treatment
The combination of an ETF's asset class and structure, along with how long the ETF is held (short-term gains apply to investments that are held for one year or less; long-term gains apply when a position is held for more than one year), determines its potential tax treatment. Figure 1 shows the maximum long-term and short-term tax rates for various ETF asset classes and structures (your tax rate may differ depending on your marginal tax rate).
Note: Under the tax laws, higher-income individuals (those with taxable income above $400,000) and married couples filing jointly (with taxable income above $464,850) will be subject to a 20% maximum long-term capital gains tax rate, and the 3.8% Medicare surtax on investment income.
|Maximum Long-Term/Short-Term Capital Gains % for ETFs
|Fixed Income
|Open-End Fund
|Grantor Trust
The table above shows maximum long-term and short-term capital gains rates, by percentage. The maximum rate for both long-term and short-term capital gains for higher-income individuals and married couples may differ under the tax laws.
Because there is such a broad range of tax rates and potential financial implications, it is important to understand a fund's structure before investing. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), for example, holds all of the S&P 500 Index stocks, so it would be categorized as an equity fund. It is structured as a Unit Investment Trust. From Figure 1, we see that an equity fund structured as a UIT would be subject to a maximum 20% long-term/39.6% short-term tax rate. Information regarding a fund's holdings and structure can typically be found in a fund's quick fact sheet or prospectus.
Currency, Futures and Metals ETFs
Special treatment is given to currency, futures and metals ETFs. In general, ETF tax rules follow the sector in which the ETF invests. Profits earned from currency ETFs structured as grantor trusts or ETNs, for example, are taxed as ordinary income, regardless of how long the position is held.
Futures ETFs gain exposure to an underlying commodity or asset through investing in futures contracts. Any gains and losses on the futures held by the ETF are treated as 60% long-term and 40% short-term for tax purposes. Shown above the weighted tax rate from the maximum rates amounts to 27.84%. In addition, mark-to-market rules may apply, and unrealized gains will be taxed as if they had been sold at the end of the year.

What Owners Love About Their KitchenAid Toaster Oven
This unit has tended to surprise a lot of its owners with how well it performs for them in their kitchen. While it does do toast rather well, the capabilities of the oven have really delivered exceptional results. Some of the aspects of this oven that users really like include:
Cooking Performance: This is something that numerous owners have raved about. They didn't think they would use it as much as they do for a wide variety of cooking chores, but they were pleasantly surprised. The "oven" part of this toaster oven is really good.
Versatility: This oven does a lot of things well. Toasting, baking, cooking and broiling are some of the areas where this unit shines and owners have been thrilled with all the different types of food that they can prepare with this oven.

What Could Be Better?
Nothing is perfect, and there were some minor complaints voiced by a few customers. Some of these include:
No Interior Light: This may seem like a small thing, but it is a definite oversight by KitchenAid. An interior light inside of the oven should be a standard feature, but a few owners were disappointed that this oven is lacking one.
Hot Sides: Some owners were concerned about how hot the top and sides of the oven would become during operation. This is something to keep in mind if the oven has to fit into a tight space.

He was a beast at Iowa and coming out into the NFL. He wasnt overworked his rookie year because Thomas Jones carried the load the early part of the year . Then he started getting nicked up and missing time. Im wondering if hes 100% at all, or did all those injuries take the aggression out of him. He is not the same runner as he was three years ago. Normally you say that about a RB when he hits 30 Greene is still in his mid-20s, and hes become useless. He is not a third down back because he doesnt catch the ball well. He is not a short yardage back because he cant explode into a hole. The only sure thing should be that once his contract is up he wont be getting big money to come back, if he comes back at all.
I can't believe there are still people (even a small majority) that defend Sanchez's play because of his supporting cast. Yeah, those guys are nothing to write home about, but I laugh at the thought of a great QB faring just as poorly as Sanchez does with this offense.
Would a great QB throw two hospital passes in a row, getting Kerley knocked silly and almost killing Holmes? Would a great QB get picked off on a screen pass for the third time 6 games? Would a great QB make the horrible decision (and throw) on the pass to Cumberland that was literally in the bread basket of the LBer who dropped it? Would a great QB get skittish in the pocket with all day to throw?
These are not bad plays that result from a poor cast. It's just bad QB play, period. Yeah, there are times when the receivers don't get open, or the line doesn't hold up the way you want it to. But when the line protects, and the receivers are open, Sanchez still fails to make it happen.
That's how he should be judged, and if you judge him on that criteria there's no way you can give him anything other than a failing grade.
I have always wanted Sanchez to succeed but it is not happening. Did you see the game yesterday. Plenty of throws to open receivers and alot of time to throw and overthrowing by 10 feet over their heads, short throws into the ground, 5 feet behind them on short passes. He always has the deer in the headlights look, never seems in charge and continues to make very bad rookie decisions and throws into coverage all the time.. enough is enough.
I don;t want Tebow either. Let's see what McElory has. I know he has only experience agains subs, but he has the understanding and smarts to get it done from what I see. Let's give him a shot. It sure is not working with what we have right now. 2 TD's in 11 quarters is dismal.
I think you get McElroy on the field for the last 4 games or so, see what you have there and trade/release Sanchez next year. Hes a distraction and theres no reason to keep is sulky butt on the roster.
While youre at it, you release Tebow too, who is also an unnecessary distraction. The entire reason he was brought in was to take snaps from a QB the team viewed as average at best.
Sign a vet, draft a QB, keep McElroy to compete/or as a backup depending on how he plays this year.
Start accumulating draft picks/stop giving them away too
That would be my plan anyway
I'm ready for McElroy, I watch a lot of NFL football and Sanchez just doesn't make enough plays, everything HAS to be perfect for him to be accurate, he gets rushed and all of a sudden even when he has time he gets flustered and throws inaccurately. There was one play yesterday, I think it was a 7-0 game, big 3rd down, Holmes wide open on a corner route for 20+ yards, ball is 15 feet over his head.
Right there, I said its over for the Sanchez era. Just too little margin for error with the guy. Not everything is gonna be perfect, Tannenhill was getting hit all game, his #1 target is a white guy and he torches a top 5 D for 400 yards.
Sanchez at best is average, and at worst... well you saw yesterday.
I'm ready to move on, the difference between Sanchez and Matt Leinart is Sanchez stays on the field.
does Sanchez deserve a huge chunk of the blame? absolutely. Mark is terrible right now. but thinking that plugging in Tebow because "he wins" or giving McElroy a shot to "see what the kid has" is going to magically change everything is asinine.
you'd see very similar results with either of those two as you are currently seeing with Sanchez. And that is why every mention of Sanchez has to include a mention of his supporting cast.
I dont know what the answer is I just know its not Tebow, I agree I would rather see McElroy..
Matt Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and hasn't done anything since. Had both Welker and Moss go for over 1k yds.
In no way, shape or form am I taking anything away from Brady, but don't be mistaken he's had nice targets/playmakers that made plays once they got the ball in their hands.
Had Moss for 3 years...has had Welker...now has Gronk. These guys are/were top notch targets.

Miami Heat at Charlotte Bobcats NBA Pick, Odds, Prediction - 4/26/14 Game Three
Miami Heat (54-28) at Charlotte Bobcats (43-39)
NBA Basketball: Saturday, April 26, 2014 at 7:00 pm (Time Warner Cable Arena)
The Line: Charlotte Bobcats +5 -- Over/Under: 188 See the Latest Odds
TV: Sun, TSOH, ESPN
The Miami Heat and Charlotte Bobcats will take the court Saturday night for game three of the NBA playoffs.
The Heat took to a 2-0 lead with a 100-97 victory on Wednesday. The Heat have now beaten the Bobcats 18 straight times, which includes 17 straight since LeBron James came to Miami. The Heat could still improve defensively, as they're allowing 99.4 points on 48.6 percent shooting in their last five games. However, James and company appear to be in full playoff mode on the offensive end, as the King has scored 59 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in the first two games of this series. One player who has got going yet for the Heat is Ray Allen, who has scored just two points in the first two games. The Miami Heat are 38-44-2 ATS overall and 19-21-1 ATS on the road.
USA TODAY Sports
The Bobcats have themselves a chance to win game two by shooting 42 percent from the field and forcing 17 turnovers. The Bobcats simply lack the offensive firepower to keep up, especially with a hobbled Al Jefferson, who did manage to grab 13 rebounds and score 18 points in the game two loss. Kemba Walker has been the star so far for the Bobcats, racking up 36 points and 14 assists in the series. However, due to the lack of offense, the Bobcats are 2-11 SU in their last 13 games when allowing 100 or more points. At home, Charlotte holds teams to 94.3 points on 45.4 percent shooting. The Charlotte Bobcats are 48-33-3 ATS overall and 24-16-1 ATS at home.

The Heat are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Conference Quarterfinals games. The Bobcats are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 2 days rest and 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 home games. The Heat are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Charlotte.
While the Bobcats have shown they can fight and aren't willing to go down quietly, they're simply in over their heads in this matchup. The Heat haven't played great in this series yet, but still give you that feeling that Charlotte has no chance.
That's why I'll take the Heat and the small chalk.
I also have a play on the total and I will post that in the Premium Area as well as on the App.

Computation of independent contact regions for grasping 3-D objects
Tipus de documentArticle
Data publicació2009-08
EditorInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
Condicions d'accésAccés obert
Precision grasp synthesis has received a lot of attention in past few last years. However, real mechanical hands can hardly assure that the fingers will precisely touch the object at the computed contact points. The concept of independent contact regions (ICRs) was introduced to provide robustness to finger positioning errors during an object grasping: A finger contact anywhere inside each of these regions assures a force-closure grasp, despite the exact contact position. This paper presents an efficient algorithm to compute ICRs with any number of frictionless or frictional contacts on the surface of any 3-D object. The proposed approach generates the independent regions by growing them around the contact points of a given starting grasp. A two-phase approach is provided to find a locally optimal force-closure grasp that serves as the starting grasp, considering as grasp quality measure the largest perturbation wrench that the grasp can resist, independently of the perturbation direction. The proposed method can also be applied to compute ICRs when several contacts are fixed beforehand. The approach has been implemented, and application examples are included to illustrate its performance.

Carol Radsprecher was born and still resides in Brooklyn, New York (her studio is in Manhattan). She received her MFA in painting from Hunter College in 1988. Her work has appeared in several solo exhibitions and numerous group shows.
She has received several awards for her work and has paintings in many private collections. Reproductions of her work have appeared (in print and online) in literary and art publications.
A restless artist, Carol has explored both representational and abstract ways of painting (her present work combines both elements). She is also a burgeoning Photoshopper. Her paintings, drawings and photographs can be seen on http://caroolrads.neoimages.net and www.whitecolumns.org.
My overriding intention is to make thought-provoking and eye-delighting images.
The images in my paintings and my Photoshop drawings/prints refer to the human body—specifically, the female body, that first landscape to greet us when we come into the world. This work is autobiographical in content, but I leave it up to the viewer to peer into these small works and create meaning (or not). Each drawing in Photoshop is one of an extended series in which the sequence of images shows the viewer the evolution of ideas and narrative within that series.

I'm sitting here, in my office. It's almost one o'clock in the morning here. I'm a bit tired, but for some reason I find myself unable to settle down.
I'm thinking about books I've read, or want to read. Books I've written, or want to write. I'm thinking about how hard it can be to find the time to do all the things I want to do. I'm thinking about how much I enjoy all of these things… and you know what? I think I enjoy them that much more because of how hard it can be.
I enjoy the challenge.
I like finding time to work my writing in. I like that it doesn't come easily. I never really realized it before… at least not consciously. Is that weird?
I guess I feel like I accomplished something when I had to fight to make it work. Hmmm. *sometimes I wonder about me*

Infographic: The State of Educational Blogging 2014
An infographic based on The Edublogger's annual survey
6 Fun Facts on Gamification
"Gamification is the use of game mechanics and experience design to digitally engage and motivate people to achieve their goals"
Online vs. Hybrid classroom instruction
In just over a decade, online learning has become a prominent form of teaching in higher education. However, educators continue to face challenges as they strive to apply this great learning technique. A primary focus for all educators involved in online instruction is learning outcomes.
Quality in elearning: The constant battle
Over the last decade, elearning has evolved from simply a term used to define an educational experiment to a very large industry that is definitely here to stay. As it will reach $107 billion by 2015, according to Global Industry Analysts, the e-learning field became the big player in the education market, shifting education towards new and fertile territory and new means of delivery.
Infographic: Why aren't your students participating on the Discussion Board?
Trying to engage students in your online courses can be a hassle sometimes, with problems arising from the way the course is designed and up to the way you connect with them on a daily basis. Discussion boards, however challenging they might be, offer a good opportunity to extend the learning space beyond the general class contact hours.

The fight against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) showed us how effectively internet users can destroy legislation that could potentially hamper online freedom. But we may have to rally the troops again in the near future.
In a previous post, we asked the question, "Is the SOPA Fight Really Over?" And in short, it's over. SOPA and PIPA were shelved indefinitely by the US Congress, effectively killing them. That was a monumental victory for the Web. However, a new bill stands on the horizon that according to ReadWriteWeb, could be even worse. That bill is the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011 (CISPA). And while the three bills do share some similarities, CISPA is constructed under an entirely different facade.
Unlike PIPA and SOPA, CISPA is designed to preemptively fight against cyber attacks. The biggest red flag with regard to CISPA is that it's an amendment to a current law and would remove a very important safeguard. That safeguard is how the US government and the private sector, primarily internet providers, share consumer information. If this bill passes, US intelligence services could grant certain private entities access to specific information and would in turn allow (and expect) those entities to reciprocate the favor to the US Government. But as RWW states, "The bill does not say that companies must share information with the government."
This is not the most alarming issue with CISPA, however. What's most frightening and nerve-racking about the bill is its ambiguous language, which is one of its greatest similarities to SOPA and PIPA. The two biggest players in the bill's text are "Cybersecurity Providers" and "Cybersecurity Purpose, Cybersecurity System, Cybersecurity Threat Information." And the proposed legislation's definition of these terms could not be more vague.
- Cybersecurity Provider: "A non-governmental entity that provides goods or services intended to be used for cybersecurity purposes."
- Cybersecurity Purpose, etc.: "[Any entity] designed or employed to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, or availability of, or safeguard, a system or network, including protecting a system or network from efforts to degrade, disrupt, or destroy such system or network; or theft or misappropriation of private or government information, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information."
What the language of this bill does is allow the US government to request the smallest piece of information from a private company. Even a Facebook status or protected tweet, both of which were never intended to be used in any way associated with Cybersecurity. These are private forms of communication meant only for those they are shared with. This is why the vagueness of this bill is a problem.
Another concern with CISPA is the number of big-name internet/technology companies supporting it. Among those are Facebook, Intel, Microsoft, AT&T, Verizon and more.
CISPA goes to the floor of the House of Representative for debate and vote on April 23. We urge you to contact your Congressperson today to voice your dissatisfaction with the bill. And tell us in the comments what you think of CISPA. Is it as bad as SOPA or PIPA?

This was the question I, and about 30 other parents and interested parties, found ourselves discussing this morning in the lower school hall.
Currently our children go to two schools, an infant and a junior one that effectively share a site. The infant school is run on the lower floor of the 1930's brick building, the junior school is situated upstairs. We are lucky in that the schools have enough grounds that each school has their own, separate concrete playground and a good-sized school field. The schools have separate heads, and teaching and admin staff; the only thing they really share is the welfare room and a uniform. read more

A poster for Blue Cheer and Jerry Abrams' Head Lights at the Salt Lake Coliseum
Before he broke into the porn business with 1970's Overdose of Degradation, Jerry Abrams was a fixture on the San Francisco psychedelic scene. As Head Lights, Abrams and his partner Glenn McKay put on some of the most fondly remembered light shows of the era, to the extent such things are remembered at all. Bill Graham gave Head Lights regular work at the Fillmore after the company dazzled the crowd at Monterey Pop. They did the light shows for the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Big Brother and the Holding Company, among others.
Between 1967 and 1968, Abrams also directed three psychedelic short films: Be-In, Lotus Wing and Eyetoon. The last of these, with its "Fuck for Peace" theme, pointed in the direction of his, uh, more mature work. But here's Abrams' first movie, which simply condensed the Human Be-In, held in Golden Gate Park in January 1967, into seven minutes of manic activity and brilliant colors, set to a soundtrack by Blue Cheer.
