Courage & Cowardice (John 18:12-27)
Our study of the Gospel of John brings us to what happened after Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. In our text John juxtaposes two accounts into one narrative. One is an example of courage, while the other is one of cowardice. One is a story of faith, while the other i one of faithfulness.Read More

FORT JACKSON, S.C. (AP) — First lady Michelle Obama said Thursday that the military's push to turn recruits into health-conscious warriors could be a model for making people across the U.S. more focused on fitness and nutrition.
First lady: Army health initiative may be a model
Obama, who has made battling childhood obesity one of her signature causes as first lady, visited the Army's largest training post at Fort Jackson outside Columbia to see what the Army has done, from more rigorous training drills to fat-free milk in its mess halls.
She told Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, who has worked to overhaul both the soldiers' diets and exercise programs, that she was fascinated by the project.
A lack of fitness is "not just a health issue but a national security issue," she said, and the military's health initiatives could be a model for youngsters elsewhere.
"A lot of young people around the country could use the same kind of support," she said.
Hertling gave the first lady a military-style briefing, accompanied by colorful slides beamed on three large screens hung on the walls, that detailed how the nation's obesity problems create problems for the Army.
Kids are spending too much time in front of TV and computer screens, not getting enough exercise and drinking too many sugary soft drinks, Hertling said. He said that makes their bones too fragile for military lifestyles.
New soldiers are given exercises for core body strength and stamina. Obama got to see the green salads, fruit and nuts offered in one of the chow lines at the post and chatted with drill sergeants about the challenges of getting recruits into shape.
The first lady sat with a half-dozen senior trainers, asking them how they dealt with a generation more adept at video games than sports or playground games.
"How are the soldiers reacting to this new training? I'm a mother, and it's all about getting the kids to go outside," she told Staff. Sgt. Brian Evans, of East St. Louis, Ill.
"It takes a while before they figure it out, that this food, this exercise, actually works," responded Evans, a 14-year Army veteran who said he'd been deployed seven times to Iraq and four to Afghanistan with Special Operations units. "Hopefully they will take that and adapt it to their lifestyle, so it branches off back to their families."

Denon's AVR-3805 receiver is a knockout. Its sound quality almost compares with high-end separate preamp/processor and amplifier combinations, and its array of features and back-panel connections is enough to choke a horse. Priced at $1,199 list, it might stretch your savings account, but for serious audiophiles, the AVR-3805 represents an incredible value. More budget-conscious buyers who don't need some of the AVR-3805's obscure high-end features can opt for Denon's less dizzyingly equipped step-down model, the AVR-2805 .
Editors' note: Denon Electronics will not honor the warranty on components purchased from unauthorized dealers or if the original factory serial number has been removed, defaced, or replaced. If in doubt about a particular online or brick-and-mortar retailer, call Denon at 973/396-0810.Denon has jazzed up its conservative style, and we must say, the AVR-3805 oozes class. It weighs a hefty 37.5 pounds and measures 17.1 inches wide, 6.5 inches tall, and 16.75 inches deep. The receiver is available in black or a lovely dark silver finish.
Denon's Auto Setup feature eases setup hassles by confirming speaker phase, assessing the sizes of all of your speakers, measuring speaker-to-listener distances, and balancing speaker levels. The catch: you need to buy Denon's optional mic (or use your own compatible mic--click here for PDF) to take advantage of the Auto Setup feature. The first time we ran Auto Setup, it wasn't as accurate as the automatic leveling found on Pioneer's much less expensive VSX-D914-K . We reran the test a few times before the AVR-3805 got it right. OK, it may not be perfect, but it's much better than not doing any setup at all.
The AVR-3805's large remote deserves special mention. Other than its four buttons and centrally located cursor controls, the touch-screen remote features two large blue membranes that light up whenever you pick up the remote. Press Amp, and the remote displays receiver-related controls; press DVD, and the remote displays a full set of DVD controls such as Play, Pause, Menu, and a complete numeric key set--everything you need to operate a DVD player. (The design is similar to the contextual soft keys found on One For All's line of Kameleon universal remotes.) The remote looks really cool, but we think some buyers, especially those who prefer to navigate by touch, might prefer a standard remote with buttons.The Denon AVR-3805 offers seven 120-watt channels and a boatload of surround processing modes, including Dolby EX and Pro Logic IIx, DTS ES, and 96/24. It also includes HDCD processing that enhances the sound of special HDCD-encoded CDs.
Extensive equalization options can help ensure your speakers sound as good as they can in your room. We're skeptical about the real-world usefulness of auto EQ (equalization) systems because they so rarely improve sound quality, but the AVR-3805's EQ did just that. The equalized sound not only produced more detail and smoother bass response, the speakers' imaging focus was sharper with the EQ turned on.
Otherwise, connectivity is on a par with separate preamplifier/processors selling for three times the price of the AVR-3805. The Denon Link offers a single-wire, all-digital hookup path for a few compatible higher-end Denon SACD/DVD-A players. That's nice, but most of us still have to run six analog cables between our SACD/DVD-A players and the receiver's 7.1 channel inputs. The receiver can upconvert your S-Video and composite inputs (from VCRs or older cable boxes, for instance) to component-video output. Other back-panel highlights include component-video switching for three sources, a turntable input, second and third zone multiroom capability, six digital audio inputs and two outputs, and an RS-232C port for use with AMX or Crestron home automation systems.
The AVR-3805 is the first receiver we've tested that offers a choice of switching between the two sets of surround speakers (the side back channels and the rear back channels) when in 5.1 mode. It's yet another customization option that audiophiles with refined tastes will appreciate (see the Performance page for more details).

Exploring themes as diverse as spirituality, astronomy, science and depravity, Edgar Allan Poe's writing is as powerful and arresting today as when he was first published. Poe's 6 years in Philadelphia, 1838-1844, were his most productive. Not only did Poe edit and provide critical reviews for very successful magazines, but he also invented the modern detective story. While in Philadelphia, Poe penned such classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Fall of the House of Usher and poems like The Haunted Palace and To Helen.While living in Philadelphia, Poe went from the high of being a popular lecturer to the despair of learning that his wife Virginia was ill with tuberculosis. The brief and tragic life of the author, his times, and literary legacy are interpreted in the building that once sheltered Poe and his family.

pop ups
I was just wondering it I am the only one getting pop ups from the GW. I normally do not allow pop ups except from very trusted sites, should I allow them from here?
I visit several forums and they are driving me nutso!
Wanted to ask all of you before allowing them so thank you in advance for your help on this minor issue.
No, the popups on this site will surely drive you nuts! The only time I get them (even though I have a pop up blocker) is when I'm not signed in. Ccleaner and some other cleaning routines seems to clear out my auto passwords and until I sign in again its loaded with them. Sandy
the pop ups are exceptionally bad right now on this site, they are so bad in fact they are causing my screen to distort completely between replies. It is just becoming insane the number and type of ad that they are putting on here.
I use pop up blocker it is turned on and these huge annoying ads are still everywhere on this site. I really wish they would get a grip.
There was a list of about a half dozen lines to put in about:config to get 99.99 percent of them - if you have Firefox. Do a google advanced search for gardenweb.com and about:config.
putting the wild cards in Firefox is quite affective for things like the pop-up survey box asolo mentions. I've forgotten and can't find it immediately but adding something like *poll.*, or some such, to adblock will stop it - until they get a new URL.
No pop up, no dancing bears, no surveys. Loads quick and is readable. Using IE6.
Got my scripts, active X and pictures disabled. If I need to look at a picture, I click on the box and then on the dialog box that says SHOW PICTURE. Some sites I need script but not often and its easy to turn on and off. Active X is just a PIA and, yes, I know its necessary for updates, but I'm not all that thrilled with updates. Keep the ad ware, spyware and virus stuff updated.
Your results may vary.
I never get those popups. FF is my default browser. After reading this I went to IE to see if I was getting them there.
There I get a blank page and ZA alert tells me that Internet Explorer is trying to access the trusted zone.
More info says
ZoneAlarm is asking you whether to allow the connection. No breach in your security has occurred. Your computer is safe.
First, bear in mind that the program that caused this alert may or may not be the program indicated by the file name iexplore.exe. Trojan horses and other malware sometimes masquerade as legitimate programs by using the same file name.
If you are certain that iexplore.exe is legitimate and properly named:
Give Internet Explorer permission to connect. See the Details tab to learn how to do this.
I denied and googled iexeplorer.exe and find that it could be a Trojan.
Now what should I do?
HPMedia Center XP SP2
I have SpyBot S&D, AVG, AdAware, all updated and run a couple days ago.
I use firefox and have my pop up blocker on but this site still just slams me with pop ups, I get the yellow bar at the top saying it has prevented this site from opening a pop up window but yet the others on the sides and in the top area still show up and those that drift across the center of the screen and just stop there till you click on the x to get rid of them. I hope they are making a ton of money from them because I am sure they lose visitors daily, I am just about ready to bail if this keeps messing up my screen like this. Plus so many of the new exploits are coming in through those kinds of ads.
I just sent a note to the contact area and let them know that some thing in the ads that are on here right now are causing issues and they might want to check out just what is popping up. Maybe if we all write to them they will check it out.
I have never been to a site that caused the screen to distort the way these new ones are doing which is scary since just this week so many sites were found to have hi-jacked ads on them.
ravencajun, I said once and I'll say it again; "Why does a computer help forum bombard visitors with all this c###?"...........When I stated that I was told to get a popup stopper and use FireFox as a browser. First of all I think the programers are finding away around the blockers and second, I use a MSNTV2 to do my browsing and read emails. It has IE5 on it and a popup stopper, but it lets me know everytime a popup is blocked. Just getting to the forum involves 2-3 popups and every time I click on a message I get one and on exit there is another one!! Not to mention the screen saver and Netfex add that comes up instead of the message and I have to hit back to get rid of it.
Boy would I love to have the old pay by the year membership we use to have......sigh IVillege is making a mess out of this terrific help forum I have been visiting for 10 years :o(
I'm just glad to know it is not just me. However, my pop up blocker gives me "pop up has been blocked screen, on every move, but I have an option to not show the message so I opted to click that........the pop up are still blocked and I sure won't waste my time to see what they are.
The netflix ones drive me mad sometimes and those screensaver ones!
I know I am getting old because I long for the good ole days when Spike ran this place....
I also noticed since these pop ups started that the pages seem to take longer to load, is that normal?
I am on verizon fios the fastest connection around and with all the pop ups yes it is even slowing me down. I can not even imagine what it would be like on dial up.
I get the the firefox prevented this popup thing too but I am still getting ones on the right side and up at the top and on occasion the ones that drift across the screen and just sit there.
I think it must be one of the ones that is being blocked that is causing my screen distortion. When I click on any post to read, as it transitions from one page to the new page the whole screen goes into a bunch of various color lines like the ad is being all smushed up and stretched. Totally annoying.
I keep my pc spotless so that I don't have to deal with that kind of stuff it is like the site has become a malware infection.
I have some firefox adblock extensions on my other pc but had not added them on this one but it may come to that.
This really has me curious. I am using Firefox 220.127.116.11, the only ad blocker I have is "flashblock" and I do not get any popups, (no notification that one has been blocked), no ads along the right side, at the top, nor floating,drifting ads.
I don't know if this will help anyone using Explorer, but I use the Google Toolbar and have activated the popup stopper. I get no popups on GW.
Here is a link that might be useful: Google Toolbar
No pop-ups, no moving ads, no hovering stuff, no side links ever. Site looks clean for me.
I'm on cable using FF 22.214.171.124 with AdBlockPlus (subscribe to "Easylist" during set-up). I also have Avast (free version), but I still didn't have any problems before installing it.
There are some host file edits that have been posted in the past...this has always been an issue with GardenWeb.
I no longer have a link to the post, but this is the Hosts file fix from GardenWebber Frattelli:
Here is the part from Fratelli's post that I thought feldon meant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Universal Solution. This will work on Windows systems for all browsers; IE, FireFox and Netscape. The Windows operating system provides a system-level method to block specific IP addresses before they even get to the browser. To effect this solution you need to edit a Windows system file called hosts. This file is located in the directory: Windows XP: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC Windows 2K: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC Windows 98: C:\WINDOWS Open the file in Notepad. Cut the following from this post and paste it to the end of the file. 127.0.0.1 amch.questionmarket.com 127.0.0.1 a820.g.akamai.net 127.0.0.1 iv.doubleclick.net 127.0.0.1 i.ivillage.com 127.0.0.1 m.2mdn.net 127.0.0.1 tste.ivillage.com 127.0.0.1 img-cdn.mediaplex.com 127.0.0.1 ads.vmirror.com 127.0.0.1 cmhtml.ivillage.overture.com 127.0.0.1 ads.pointroll.com Edit each entry so that there is a tab between the IP address 127.0.0.1 and the URLs. Save the file and you're finished. Close and re-open your browser and all the ads will be gone. Unfortunately, iVillage may in the future buy ads from a new source. In this event the new ad source will have to be added to the list. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I did this but had trouble trying to save it, so I had to change the properties of the file from read only. To do that just go to the appropriate folder and right click, select properties and uncheck the read only box. This should work for anyone having trouble saving it, I am using XP, so it might vary a bit if you have another version of Windows. Oh, and so far no more 'wiggle' ads. Thanks God, and thank you feldon and all...glad I was not the only one bugged by this.
And here is a very concise fix (similar to the above) that I copied...I did not note the author on this one:
This will work on Windows systems for all browsers; IE, FireFox and Netscape.
The Windows operating system provides a system-level method to block specific IP addresses before they even get to the browser. To effect this solution you need to edit a Windows system file called hosts. This file is located in the directory:
Windows XP: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 98: C:\WINDOWS
Open the file in Notepad. Cut the following from this post and paste it to the end of the file.
127.0.0.1 amch.questionmarket.com
127.0.0.1 a820.g.akamai.net
127.0.0.1 iv.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 i.ivillage.com
127.0.0.1 m.2mdn.net

127.0.0.1 ads.vmirror.com
127.0.0.1 cmhtml.ivillage.overture.com
127.0.0.1 ads.pointroll.com
Edit each entry so that there is a tab between the IP address 127.0.0.1 and the URLs. Save the file and you're finished. Close and re-open your browser and all the ads will be gone.
Unfortunately, iVillage may in the future buy ads from a new source. In this event the new ad source will have to be added to the list.
The IE solution.
Most of the ads are placed using Java$cript. You can remove the more offensive ads in IE with the browser settings. You can't however remove them all. To improve GW using IE do the following:
From the menu select Tools -> Internet Options -> Security and click on Custom Level. Scroll down to the end of the list and you'll see an entry for Scripting. Disable all the sub-entries. Now select the tab labeled Privacy. In the bottom of the box that appears check on the option to block pop-ups. I recommend you also click on the button Advanced and select the option to block Third-party Cookies.
NOTE: By disabling Scripting you will also effect the way other websites behave. You may need to get used to switching scripting on and off as desired. That's why this is the least desirable of these various options.
The FireFox solution
This is an excellent choice -- it's the fastest performing of the options listed here: FireFox is superior to IE in every possible way. FireFox provides the added advantage of blocking all Spyware, an evil that IE brought into this world.
* download and install Firefox 1.5
* in the FireFox address bar type about:config
* scroll down the list to the entry xpinstall.enabled
* right click on the entry and select toggle from the menu
* toggle as needed to set the value to true
* go to the Firefox website and follow links to extensions
* find the extension adblock and install it
* remember to toggle xpinstall.enabled back to false
* in Firefox select Tools -> Adblock -> Preferences
* use the New Filter field to add the following items:
* enable Adblock
The trick with Adblock is to block the domain rather than the specific ad. If you click on Adblock to disable an ad. Select Tools -> Adblock -> Preferences from the menu and then edit the new entry; remove anything that follows after .com or .net. This will block everyting from that source.
The Netscape solution.
With Netscape you can shut down all the iVillage ads using the browser preference settings. From the menu select:
Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy and Security -> Cookies
Allow cookies for the originating website only
Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy and Security -> Images
Accept Images that come from the originating server only
Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy and Security -> Images
Block unrequested popup windows -- turn this on
Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced
Enable native object scripting -- turn this off
Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Scripts & Plug-ins
Enable Java$cript for Navigator -- turn this off
NOTE: GW will now be ad free, however disabling Java$cript will effect how other websites behave. You may have to get used to switching this setting back and forth. Therefore I suggest the Universal option above is more appropriate.
NOTE: You MAC users out there: Sorry I don't have more info for you except to say that FireFox and adblock are available for the MAC.
There's no sense in further complaing, iVillage IS an ad. We need to let them be who they are and stop them on our end. Take care all.
well I use linux only when on the web.
It has suddenly changed here in the past week or so, before there were ads but I am used to ads and able to ignore them, but what ever changed is not good.
I would not even try coming here on my windows machine the way this site is so loaded with ads and with the huge number of sites that have been being hit with hi-jacked ads, That is why we are seeing people here almost daily with the infections of antivirus2008 or 2009 that is how people are getting that infection from hi-jacked ads on websites.
The number of them we are seeing on all the tech forums is increasing daily.
Couldn't help wondering why many of us see no adds when signed in and its a major problem for others. From this post, (repeats only once): 4 see them, 12 don't. Seems it must be a setting or program somewhere. I never see them and have no sites allowed or blocked. Using IE6, xp2, standard blocker off of tools menuBut I don't think that's the key because I just unchecked the blocker momentarily and still didn't see any.
---Q&A in FAQ from IE>tools>pop up blocker:----
I turned on the pop-up blocker but I still see some pop-ups. Why?
There could be several reasons for this.
You could have software on your computer that is launching pop-ups. To stop these pop-ups, you will have to identify the software, then remove it or change its settings to stop it from launching pop-ups.
Some windows with animated content are not blocked.
Internet Explorer will not block pop-ups from Web sites that are in two Web content zones: Local intranet or Trusted sites.
Click here for steps to remove a site from Web content zones that allow pop-ups.
Open Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab.
Click the Web content zone you want to block pop-ups from, and then click Sites.
If you are removing a Web site from the Local intranet zone, click Advanced, and then go to step 5.
In the Web sites box, click the Web site you want to block pop-up windows from, and then click Remove.
Internet Explorer will not block pop-ups that have been added to the list of sites you allow pop-ups from.
Click here for steps to change which sites are allowed to show pop-ups.
Open Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker, and click Pop-up Blocker Settings.
In the Address of Web site to allow box, click the Web site you want to remove from the list, and then click Remove.
I couldn't take it anymore so I broke down and added adblock plus and a few other blockers to my linux firefox. I prefer not to do that because I understand people have to make a living and ads are one way they can make money, but when it gets to the point it is affecting my ability to do work or get anything done then I have to take action.
Please everyone be very alert if you are on any sites that start popping up a box saying you need some special plug in or codec or something to make a video play or something run, find out for sure it is legit because there is a very bad hi-jack going on right now doing that. Very bad on myspace and facebook and other social networking sites.
IT can look like this
Also there are fake accounts on twitter that have been built to get people on there to view a video, can have various topics, which is also an infection.

THANK YOU!!! I tracked down the offending program and uninstalled it, the pop ups are now gone. The program was one that was linked to Corel Media One, "smilebox" and since removing it the pop ups have stopped.
My pop up blocker did block them, but it bothered me that I was getting them at all because I never had that problem before.
Again, thanks to everyone that has responded, I sure learned a lot. I lurk here often, just reading because to me, this is the best place on the web to get answers.

Well shoot...........it was not that program because the pop ups are back! They are being blocked so it is not a problem, but it is a problem because now the pages are loading slow again. Sigh.....guess it is just part of this cyber world we live in today. This was always a place where there were never pop ups. Times change...........

(August 31, 2011: Newport News, VA 23602) In Wednesday's non-league contest, the Hampton Roads Academy Navigators (Newport News, VA) volleyball squad knocked off the visiting Norfolk Collegiate Mighty Oaks (Norfolk, VA), by a margin of 3-0.
Next up, the Navigators battle the Walsingham Academy Trojans (Williamsburg, VA) in a non-league contest, on Tuesday, September 6. Hampton Roads Academy will attempt to better on its 1-0 season record. The Trojans come into the contest with a 2-0 record after their 3-1 non-league win over St. Gertrude (Richmond, VA).
With the loss, Norfolk Collegiate drops to 0-2 on the campaign. The Mighty oaks host Bishop Sullivan Catholic (Virginia Beach, VA) to battle the Crusaders in a non-league challenge on Tuesday, September 13. The Crusaders enter the challenge with a record of 0-1.
Melanie Crain had 15 digs and an error-free service reception match. But that wasn't enough to prevent the Oaks from dropping their 2nd match of the season.

Youzhny's retirement against Sela deprives the tournament of its second seed
Much was expected on New Year's Day at the Aircel Chennai Open. The thought of watching the top two seeds — Stanislas Wawrinka and Mikhail Youzhny — in back-to-back matches on Centre Court must have been enticing enough for the holiday crowd to pull in.
What one was welcomed by, however, was a crowd anything but holiday like. Then Youzhny, after just four games into his match against Dudi Sela, retired citing stomach trouble. That brought Wawrinka and Benjamin Becker onto the court, and just five games were played when the skies opened for the first time.
After a 45 minute break, Wawrinka returned to deliver a first-rate demolition job to pack off the German, beating him 6-3, 6-1 in just 53 minutes.
Becker has always possessed an impressive range of strokes. The German's chances of success against Wawrinka lay in how he could pick the individual shots from his repertoire and string them together to construct points.
However, the first set saw none of his shot-making abilities. Often the rallies didn't last long enough for Becker to even think of unleashing one of his powerful weapons.
Wawrinka broke Becker in the fifth game to lead 3-2. Becker did manage to somehow earn a couple of break points in the eighth game. But Wawrinka served his way out of the situation, and went on to break serve again in the following game to wrap up the set.
Becker started going for the lines in the second set. A couple of inside-out forehand winners suggested a willingness to seize initiative. But, Wawrinka just had too much firepower; Becker often found himself beaten to the ball by a couple of yards.
The World No.8 broke in the second and the sixth games to clinch the set 6-1, and advance to the quarterfinals.
"It's a good start. I am really happy with my performance today. The court is quite slow and the weather humid. I was focused and was trying to have a good match. I feel good now," Wawrinka said.
Earlier, Youzhny retired with his Israeli opponent serving 3-1 in the first set.
"It's a stomach problem. I wanted to play, I tried my best, but it's not possible. When you have restricted movement, it's no use playing on Centre Court and losing. It (the problem) started last week in Thailand — some virus, and it has continued here too. I am sorry," he said in a released statement.
There were to be two more injury pull-outs when Yen-Hsun Lu and Alexander Kudryavtsev, both conceded their respective doubles matches.
Later in the day, R. Ramkumar and Sriram Balaji overcame Americans Scott Lipsky and Rajeev Ram 7-5, 6-3.
The results:
Second round: Dudi Sela (Isr) bt 2-Mikhail Youzhny (Rus) 3-1 (retd.); 1-Stanislas Wawrinka (Sui) bt Benjamin Becker (Ger) 6-3, 6-1; 7-Edouard Roger-Vasselin (Fra) bt Jiri Vesely (Cze) 6-4, 6-4; Aljaz Bedene (Slo) bt Alexander Kudryavtsev (Rus) 1-6, 3-0 retd.
Doubles: First round: N. Sriram Balaji & R. Ramkumar (Ind) bt Scott Lipsky & Rajeev Ram (USA) 7-5, 6-3; 4-Johan Brunstorm (Swe) & Frederik Nielsen (Den) bt Tomasz Bednarek (Pol) & Mikhail Elgin (Rus) 6-3, 6-3; 3-Andre Begemann & Martin Emmrich (Ger) bt Jonathan Erlich & Andy Ram (Isr) 6-4, 6-3; Guillermo Garcia-Lopez (Esp) & Philipp Oswald (Aut) bt Yen-Hsun Lu (Tpe) & Divij Sharan (Ind) 1-2 (retd.); Purav Raja (Ind) & Dudi Sela (Isr) bt Nicholas Monroe (USA) & Frank Moser (Ger) 7-6, 6-1.

March is the American Dietetic Association's National Nutrition Month, and what better way to incorporate their theme to enjoy the taste of eating right into your life than to enhance the flavors of your dishes with Young Living essential oils?
Here are just a few examples of how you can add richness and flavor to your cooking and food preparation by including Young Living essential oils:
Superfood Smoothie
For a delicious way to load your body with nutrients, add the following superfoods, fresh fruits and vegetables, and Young Living essential oils to your next smoothie:
- Fruit: bananas, blueberries, apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, etc.
- Leafy greens: spinach, kale, Swiss chard, or even broccoli

Expanding the Use of Stress Away
The Young Living product development team is excited to announce that the proprietary blend of Stress Away™ is now available in a 15-ml bottle. Why, you ask? Because the therapeutic benefits in Stress Away expand beyond its traditional use of topical application.
With the new 15-ml bottle, the rigors of daily activities can be soothed with the unique, stress-relieving combination of pure, therapeutic-grade lime and vanilla essential oils through your diffuser or internal consumption as a dietary supplement. These new options with Stress Away allow the constituents in these oils—along with the benefits of lavender and copaiba—to reduce mental rigidity and restore mental balance.
So the next time you're hosting a dinner party or meeting, diffuse Stress Away to calm your nerves or add a drop or two into water or a clear vegetable capsule and drink it to calm your anxiety.
The traditional application of Stress Away to your wrists or the back of your neck is still an effective way to ease anxiety. Whatever the situation may be, this natural solution is created to combat the normal stresses that creep into everyday life.
The proprietary blend of Stress Away includes:
Copaiba (Copaifera reticulata)—Copaiba is a powerful essential oil from South America that has traditionally been used internally to aid digestion* and support the body's natural response to injury or irritation.*
Lime (Citrus aurantifolia)—Lime essential oil has an invigorating and stimulating effect and is believed to be native of eastern Malaysia. The pleasant citrus aroma of lime may help mental clarity and encourage creativity. When applied to the skin, lime oil may also support healthy skin.
Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica)—Cedarwood has a warm, balsamic, woody aroma. It is relaxing and soothing when used for massage and has long been used as a beneficial ingredient in cosmetic preparations for oily skin.
Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia)—This variety of vanilla is a species of the vanilla orchid that is native to Mexico and is one of the primary sources for vanilla flavoring, due to its high vanillin content.
Ocotea (Ocotea quixos)—Extracted from an Ecuadorian tree, ocotea has the highest level of alpha humulene of any Young Living essential oil, which is a compound that helps aid the body's natural response to irritation and injury.* Ocotea also has natural cleansing and purifying properties.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)—Lavender has a fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma that is soothing and refreshing. Because it is the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be without it. Lavender is also an adaptogen and can assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances.
Comment and share your experiences with Stress Away or your thoughts on the new 15-ml bottle by Friday for the opportunity to win one of two bottles of Stress Away essential oil blend!

Hopefully this isn't a stupid question but I can't seem to work out how to do this. Can you apply a wildcard to an anchor hover/focus so that the style is applied to all classes?
Something like

Say I have
a { color: #DD0000; }
a.link { color: #ffffff; }
a.link2 { color: #000000; }
a.user { ...

The easiest way to explain what I'm looking for is to have a global :hover style, but multiple :link styles. Thanks

On the longarm today are some modern shibori fabrics getting their final dry. Many of my fabrics are boxed up for shows and I like to give them extra hang time to make sure they are good and dry. I do have a wall quilt loaded and just beginning to quilt on the longarm. More on that later as I make some progress.The strip of orange fabric on the left side, that is my "runway". When I load my quilt top, I make sure to have a bit extra on one side so I can float a scrap of fabric. This fabric scrap is a good place to warm up on and also to check tension and threads.
On another note, I think I have contacted everyone but if you had a custom order in for hand dyed fabric in the 118" width, I am not going to be able to get the fabric out to you. My last order of 100 yards of extra wide fabric has a serious flaw running through all 100 yards. I have contacted several of my fabric sources and no one has the extra wide fabric right now. Seems there was a problem at the mill.

Jeremiah Masoli eligible at Ole Miss
OXFORD, Miss. -- In another surprising twist to a month-long saga, Mississippi quarterback Jeremiah Masoli has been cleared to play football just one day before the start of the season.
Three days ago, the NCAA ruled that the former Oregon quarterback had to sit out a season after enrolling at Mississippi. But the university appealed that decision and announced Friday that the NCAA Division I Subcommittee for Legislative Relief had overturned the first ruling.
Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said he couldn't talk about specifics of Friday morning's appeals hearing but was thrilled with the committee's decision.
"It's a big lift for us and the team's really excited," Nutt said. "We feel very fortunate. Jeremiah and his family were in tears, they were so happy afterward.
"It's a great feeling," he said.
Masoli is expected to be the Rebels' starting quarterback this season, though Nutt said sophomore Nathan Stanley will start against Jacksonville State on Saturday because of the short notice.
Masoli played for Oregon the past two seasons, leading the Ducks to the Rose Bowl in 2009. But he was kicked off Oregon's team earlier this summer after two run-ins with police. He pleaded guilty to a second-degree burglary charge and was also cited for misdemeanor marijuana possession.
Masoli had already received an undergraduate degree from Oregon and decided to transfer to Ole Miss, where he entered the Parks and Recreation graduate program. The NCAA will often waive a one-year residency requirement for athletes who enter a graduate program not offered at the previous school but initially didn't clear Masoli because "the waiver exists to provide relief to student-athletes who transfer for academic reasons to pursue graduate studies, not to avoid disciplinary measures at the previous university."
Obviously, the NCAA subcommittee disagreed, and the Rebels' offense is likely better for it.
"We would like to thank the NCAA staff and subcommittee for approaching this case and all of its details with diligence and fairness," Ole Miss athletic director Pete Boone said in a released statement.
Masoli accounted for 51 total touchdowns over two seasons at Oregon and is considered one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the country.
In other Ole Miss news, it was determined after exams that defensive end Kentrell Lockett will not need heart surgery.

Working on some down time with the family for the next couple of weeks, striving for some of that elusive work/life balance. Speaking of elusive, ways for each of us to get more daily physical activity is one of our biggest struggles. Personally, I am motivated in staying strong for my family and decrease the effects of aging…daily activity has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Even if it means simply going to the park for 15 minutes, or running some sprints on the hotel treadmill or even in the hotel hallways- I am motivated to stay physically strong. But many are not. That motivation is elusive and so is daily activity for kids and adults alike in 2011….but we need it more than ever.
We all need little push now and then, and although the issue of lack of activity is well documented, there seem to be few "little pushes" happening to get people moving. Life is busy, life is hectic and many are just keeping their lips above the water line. It is time for solutions.
2 recent articles up here in Canada, have highlighted some different perspective's in our battle to be more active.
One article (see below link) talked about how it was a total waste of time for the government to implore parents to focus on getting their kids more active. The article called out Participaction, a government agency in place to promote a more active lifestyle, for marketing through their ads that parents need to take a more active role in getting their kids more active. I am convinced parents are not sure how, meanwhile our kids spend more time in front of the screen.
The 2 nd article from Canada's west coast reported on a program where a local health organization had partnered with a gym chain to provide free workouts for those patients waiting on surgery, in order to increase their ability to recover quicker and better.
Both articles are terrific to get people talking about the tremendous need we are faced with to get more active. However, one focuses on blame and the other is actually bringing forth a solution.
I would venture to say that bringing forth solutions is critical for our collective productivity to improve.
It is well documented that our adult population has never been more out of shape. Our kids, the next generation of parents, are equally under par in health and fitness.
According to IHRSA( International Health and Racquet, Sport Association) , fitness clubs are populated by 10-12% of the population. Of those 10-12%, a very small percentage regularly go to fitness clubs. That outlet is not working very well in getting people more active, even though it represents a thriving and in demand industry.
Congratulations to the Fraser Health Authority in British Columbia for trying to figure out a way to get more people the benefits they need to face surgery, through regular activity. Congratulations to the Steve Nash Fitness Clubs for trying to find a way to get the people that need their services the most into their facilities. More pats on the back go out to Good dLife Fitness who recently offered free access to kids during the summer months, even if they were not members. These are attempts are solutions . Only time will tell if they are sustainable, but they are solutions.
Thumbs down to people that spend their time criticizing marketing to encourage parents get more involved in more daily activity for our kids.
So the articles both, in their own way, bring up the question – how do we get more people active? How can we get ourselves and our kids to the point of enjoying the benefits of regular physical activity?
With so few solutions being brought forward , I thought a few "little pushes" might help get things moving. So here are 8 initiatives to get more people of all ages active, so they can enjoy a better, more energetic, pain free lifestyle.
These are not the only initiatives of course, but it touches on implications for all levels of government, schools, and industry. At the end of the day, we are responsible for our own health, but it is very obvious that we need some help in figuring out how to accomplish this. Perhaps that "little push" will come from parents, or coaches, or work colleagues, or the town we live in , or teachers, or …does it matter? Here are some solutions, I challenge you to add to them….
So here are the 8 steps to making a difference in delivering daily actvity:
1. 1. Reward those people who are active. If the government is looking for ways to promote activity, they have started a good thing with tax breaks for kid's sports participation. This needs to be stepped up to include a wider range of activities for a wider range of age levels . Tax breaks are a nice incentive, and it would not be hard to bring together some industry leaders on specific starting points.
2. 2. Get daily activity back into the schools. Years ago when I was teaching school in the early 90's , there was a movement to take out daily physical activity from the curriculum. It is now time to put it back into the same curriculum. It will not be enough to simply put it back in, but provide teachers with a simple certification process on youth fitness. Understanding the benefits of simple games like tag to physical and mental development, with specific progressions are not complicated. However a simple, easy to follow program can make these opportunities productive and beneficial for all concerned. Organizations like schoolfit.ca are focused exactly on these concepts, so activities that destroy self-esteem are not part of activity time.
3. 3. Professional health care associations should collaborate to work with the fitness industry to bundle services, and government can have a role in making sure these services are available under workplace benefits programs, for example. Up until now, with only a small % of people going to fitness clubs, the fitness industry is failing miserably. The health care community is focused on the reactive. Why not create incentives for proactive to work with the reactive side? Many people will say this is not possible, however, there are groups like STAK Fitness Int'l Inc. are working on this very concept.
4. 4; If tax incentives are of interest, why limit them to consumers? Corporations could be provided with additional incentive to get their workforce moving. Increased fitness and daily activity is proven to benefit everyone, in productivity, less absenteeism and employee turnover. As a business owner, I know that workplace benefit expenses are shared by the employer and employee…why could that not apply to an application to daily fitness?
5. 5. Sports associations need to incorporate fitness and nutrition education into their coaches (and parent's education) certifications. As a youth coach for years, I am stunned at how little coaches are taught on nutrition, hydration and preparing their kids bodies for the demands of their activities. (parents have a lot to learn here as well, having a working knowledge in these areas needs to be part of the pre-requisites to play)
This education can be led by local community fitness groups, and organizations can be rewarded to implement this assistance.
6. 6. Help the school boards open up their facilities to parents and community members and become the health and fitness hubs in their region. Enough already on these facilities not being used in the summer and evenings !!! Fitness professionals in every community are starving for opportunities to lead fitness classes. With proper standards and accreditation, parents and kids can have an outlet to get moving.
7. 7. Municipalities can start promoting activities in the community, using parks/facilities and providing some fitness leadership. In the community where I live, one local fitness pro invests a ton of time in promoting and leading a community endorsed initiative focused on getting people moving. I get the feeling, however, that increasingly he is trying to push a big rock uphill, and not getting a ton of support. Initiatives like this are another way of making daily activity a bigger part of our lives.
8. 8.Fitness industry needs to continue to push opportunities for people to find ways to integrate fitness into our daily lives. As a busy business person, with a family, my fitness routine consists 10-20 minute workouts wherever I am located with whatever tools I can find . I refer to this as "fitness integration" , as in integrated activity into your day. (as mentioned earlier, the current "fitness interruption" of finding time for a 90 minute workout method is not working).
As a side note, tax deductible fitness memberships could be part of a solution, but fitness services would need a standardized way to track participation. It is participation that needs to be rewarded, not only spending on fitness.
There are lots of other initiatives, these are just a few. There are also spinoff initiatives that could help. For example, when will t he food industry figure out that healthy food education is a good business move?? Like home renovation companies who provide 'how to' sessions, food and grocery stores can do the same in promoting healthy eating. As a fitness professional, I am amazed at what people do not know about nutrition and the simple steps to make healthy eating a priority. I am also amazed at how little the food industry is doing to help this cause.
It is easy to criticize government trying to push people to be more active. It would be much more productive to provide ways that we can get more activity into our daily lives. At least the government is doing something that is worthy of being criticized.
The Fraser Health Authority is trying to find a solution, and the Steve Nash clubs are trying…..what can the rest of us do? The consequences of not doing anything are too great.

Is it time yet?
hotzcatz(Hamakua, Hawaii)October 30, 2004
On the mainland they have these seasonal gardens and they plant lettuce, peas, corn tomatoes and other vegetables at specific times. Has anyone noticed planting "seasons" here and had better luck planting any specific type of vegetable at any particular time of year? Have you had the best luck by planting by moon phases, rainy seasons or just whenever the mood strikes?
If I was going to plant a basic vegetable garden, when would be a good time to do it?

Transplanting a Mature Wisteria
I have two Wisteria that are at least 5 - 7 years old. I have trained them straight up a steel pipe so they have a straight (twining/winding) trunk up to about 12 feet then they are allowed to branch out. I remove all leaves up to the 12 foot mark. We are building a patio cover and at least one of them has to move. I'm terribly worried they will not survive as I have read that Wisteria does not transplant well. Does anyone have any experience transplanting a fairly big Wisteria that turned out well? How big of a root ball do I need to take? I know I need to make it as big at I can - but how big is that? My husband and I will need to handle the move - maybe we can get a little help.
if you REALLY want to save it call a tree service. they have a tractor with a scoop that clamps around the plant, then scoops out a big root ball. my parents had several trees moved when they put in a pool and the tree service did it in no time flat. i have no clue what it costs, but if the price is fairly reasonable it may be worth it to try and get the money budgeted.
keep in mind that the roots will be huge on this thing. i have no idea if wisteria runs deep or wide or both, but no matter what they will be about the same mass as the above ground portion of the vine!

Chevrolet Equinox Replacement Shock Absorber Information
Your Chevrolet Equinox is rugged enough to surmount any road, but needs first-rate quality parts to be able to get to where you're headed. If you selected a high-performance car or truck because it had awesome engine power and performance, back up your decision and buy outstanding aftermarket parts and accessories. Successful automobile manufacturers understand the inherent importance of satisfying performance. A correctly working Chevrolet Equinox Shock Absorber gives you augmented stability while enhancing the handling of your vehicle. Shock Absorbers work as firm springs that look a lot like pistons, passing liquid from one chamber to another which cushions jolts and jars as you drive. Placed between your suspension and the body of the car or truck, Shock Absorbers minimize the up-and-down movement of the car. Good Shock Absorbers dampen energy from bumps in the street to provide a more stable drive. Shock absorbers are split into two basic varieties: spring-based shocks which use leaf springs, and torsion shock absorbers which use a torsion spring. Trying to find a good source for trustworthy parts can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack, but it really doesn't have to.
They are available for the following Chevrolet Equinox years: 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 12, 11, 10, 09, 08, 07, 06, 05. This part is also sometimes called Chevrolet Equinox Shocks.

Perfect fit at a great price. The ride is much stiffer after the replacements were installed.
They look good and seem to work well, well see how long they last.
Just what I needed for my Equinox. Much better ride and handling.
The product fit perfectly and the ride is better than when we bought the Equinox. I am planning on buying a complete set of struts for my son's Mazda.
