The media is covering the Brian Williams fiasco as if it were some sort of world-shattering event and both sides of the political aisle are piling on. Williams is being treated and trashed as if he is a rock star. Ironically, behaving like an egotistical rock star is what landed him in trouble. Some criticism, however, is taking a different path.
Liberal John Stewart did not make excuses for Williams but he did chastise the media. He complained that the current media's righteous indignation was missing during the Bush administration's run up to invading Iraq, adding: "Finally, someone is being held to account for misleading America about the Iraq war."
Leftist Michael Moore, always handicapped by his limited understanding of reality, took the same approach by stating: "The real liars who were responsible for the Iraq War roam free while instead going after Brian Williams for committing the crime of Faux Macho. This just begs to be ridiculed and stopped."
Stewart and Moore were not alone in taking the media to task in this manner, but where were they when the media gave Obama a pass on his "you can keep your plan" lie? That was a whopper told and caught on video tape several times – and Obama even tried to weasel his way out of being caught. Will they demand the media take Obama to task over deliberately "misleading" (aka: lying to) the public about his stance on gay marriage when campaigning for president now that Axelrod spilled the beans?
The media is very selective in reporting about Obama, allowing him to rule like a king with no questions asked and the left says nothing. It is only Bush the left demands the media hold accountable. The blind partisanship and glaring hypocrisy is not unusual but it sure is tiring.

Life in Korea is not boring by any stretch of the imagination. I guess we are just settling in so well that it has become quite normal.
Wednesday was our first rainy day at the apartment. Tim got soaked walking to and from the bus. Now we know what we need in order to prepare for monsoon season in a few months.
Tim suggested that I take Clarissa to the roof picnic area to see how she liked playing in the rain. It was closed. Google translate has a feature where you can take a picture of text and it will translate it for you. Apparently, it is not quite ready for Korean because of my full page of text, all it translated was "sorry for the inconvenience." We tried the indoor playground too but it was still closed as well.
After dinner, we wanted dessert but lacked key ingredients for every cookie I make. So I was adventurous and invented honey coconut cookies. They were actually really good.
Thursday was a great day. Clarissa woke up early so we decided to check out the children's story hour at the library on base. There were six other preschool aged children there. It was cute. They read a few books and made a craft. Clarissa actually sat pretty well was quiet enough that she wasn't disruptive to the other children.
As the other families started to leave, I started talking to the girl in charge. I already made plans to meet Tim for lunch so I had 45 minutes to burn. They were 45 minutes well spent.
My new friend was expecting (I say was because she had her baby girl on Sunday) her first baby. Turns out, she lives in my building! And she is a Christian. She was telling me about Protestant Womens Chapel which meets on Wednesday morning. It sounds great and they have childcare. Apparently another mom from our building goes as well.
Her husband came to drive her back to the apartment. They offered Clarissa and I a ride but I told them that I had already planned to eat with Tim. So they had lunch with us. The four of us get along well. They also enjoy traveling and the husband is in IT as well so he and Tim have plenty to talk about. It will be interesting to see where this friendship goes. I am excited about it.
After lunch, Clarissa and I went to the commissary to buy groceries. I brought my huge samsonite bag and decided to be Korean and take the bus back. I am pretty sure my grocery bag weighed more than Clarissa so I was exhausted by the time I got home. The bus isn't stroller friendly (there is a handicapped accessible one but it doesn't come as often so it is not very convenient). Which means that I have to carry Clarissa with one arm and carry the groceries in the other. I don't know if I will get used to it or if it is just worth the extra $5 for a taxi each week when I shop.
My new plan is to cut my trip in half and do it twice. If I want to go to bible study and story hour I will be on base twice a week anyway. I will have to see if that is easier.
On Friday morning, the indoor playground was open! Clarissa and I spent an hour there. Some of the equipment is a little big for her, but she had a blast!
Hopefully we didn't break any of the rules…
I wish they had translated that sign like this sign that was on every single window…
We spent a great deal of time looking at books. Her favorites were the Thomas the Tank Engine books. I had fun making up stories to go with the pictures. There was one shelf of English books, but Clarissa wasn't too interested in those.
Saturday we did our typical errand run on base. But it was a beautiful day and Clarissa really wanted to run, so we took the back way to the PX so that she could walk too.
She had a great time. I don't think I have let her walk on base before. I usually carry her or keep her in the stroller. I think I will take the back way more often so she can walk.
Tim has been telling me about authentic Korean barbecue for years now. We wanted to find a place on our 2012 vacation but never did. There are at least three between our apartment and emart so we decided to try one for dinner on Saturday.
It was quite the spread. They brought out 600g of raw beef that Tim grilled over charcoal at the table.
There was some kind of seafood soup. Clearly I am seafood illiterate… Clam, mussel, oyster? But I am proud of myself for trying it. Didn't taste bad.
There are several ways to eat the barbecue. One way is to use a leafy vegetable and put sauces and spices with your leaf and meat and roll it up.
This is not a good picture but it was excellent. We will definitely have to try the other two places to see which one we like the best.
I wanted to check out another church on Sunday but could not figure out how to get there. They did not have directions on the website and Google maps only gave me directions in hangul so we could not figure out how to get there by bus. We decided I should ask about churches at bible study on Wednesday.
We decided on to go back to Drury park. We went a different way and it probably took about 45 minutes to get there. Clarissa is such a character. She decided to ride with her feet up but would put them down when I tried to take a picture. I had to be sneaky to get this shot.
We passed an interesting looking temple on the way.
When we got to the park, a group of elderly ladies crowded around Clarissa in her stroller. One tried to give her an orange, but she threw it! So the lady gave it to me.
Once we were headed downhill, we let her walk. She had a blast weaving in and out of people. Thankfully most people thought she was cute and wanted to play with her. I have seriously only seen other white people on base so far so we get plenty of attention when we are in the city. I wonder what Clarissa will think when we come back to America and she is "normal" again?!
At the bottom of the hill was plenty of green space. There were families having picnics. It was beautiful. There was even classical music playing. But most of the grass was roped off. The kids played soccer on a sidewalk.
Yesterday was the first time that other kids came to the playground while we were outside. We enjoyed getting to know some of our neighbors. The kids are 21 months and three years old. I think that we will enjoy playing with them.
We bought some bubbles at the PX on Saturday. Clarissa was really excited about them because they were inside a Hello Kitty necklace. We went outside this morning to play with bubbles. We stopped playing when she tried to drink the bubbles. It was cold this morning anyway so we moved the party to the indoor playground.
After work today we went to emart. I think this was our fifth or sixth trip in two weeks! Usually we have a list of house stuff we need and Clarissa is ready to leave by the end of our list. But today we went specifically to scope out the groceries. We bought some interesting snacks to try.
At this rate, if we keep going to emart, I will be fat and poor when our time in South Korea is over!

Download (414kB) | Preview
Background and aims: Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT) is the most prevalent hereditary neuropathy and its frequency is 1 in 2500. CMT is a heterogeneous disease and has different clinical symptoms. The prevalence of CMT and involved genes differ in different countries. CMT patients experience considerable sleep problems and a higher risk of decreased quality of life. In this work it was aimed to provide a review on the genetic and epidemiologic aspects of this disease. Methods: In the current review article, we performed a literature search on the epidemiology of Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease" and provided a brief review on epidemiology, genetic, and complications of CMT. Databases Web of Science and PubMed were searched using the Endnote software for the publications on CMT during 2000 to 2016. Results: Charcot Marie Tooth disease has different prevalence around the world and is the most common neuropathy. Epidemiological studies have estimated the prevalence of CMT in Japan 1/9200, in Iceland 1/8300, in Spain 1/3500 and in Italy 1/5700.The patients have different phenotype and the age of onset. There is a variety of inherited patterns of disease and many genes have been identified responsible whose mutations are main cause of the disease. Conclusion: Due to the impact of this kind of disabilities on the national health, further studies seem to be necessary to gain better knowledge of the disease particularly in the regions with higher prevalence. Moreover molecular biology services offered by genetic laboratories can reduce the incidence of disorder.

You've spent the last few days in Manila, now you want to see something a little different. Whatever the reason, Manila isn't the only place in the Philippines. Many others – just a car ride away – offer great attractions and reasons to visit. Below are 4 places you can visit for just a weekend, which will let you see a different side of the Philippines. One of smaller cities and natural beauty.
Baguio (250km)
Located on Luzon Island, this university and resort area is no stranger to beautiful sights and places for travellers to visit. The city is actually known as the Summer capital of the Philippines – it's that beautiful. In case you hadn't already guessed, the best time to visit is during summer.
Head here for a weekend getaway from Manila and you'll be able to surround yourself with beautiful architecture and history, including the Baguio Cathedral and Session Road. Alternatively, you may want to stay outdoors. In which case, the Baguio Rice Terraces are an incredible sight and only require a short hike to see properly.
Tagaytay (65km)
This popular holiday town is known as the second summer capital of the Philippines, after Baguio. The only difference being that Tagatay is slightly more humid. However, Tagaytay still sees its fair share of tourists every year, especially around Christmas.
Tagaytay is the perfect weekend getaway for anyone who loves nature and relaxing. Mt. Sungay is a brilliant climb and features one of the coolest parks in the world: The People's Park in the Sky. Also on top of the mountain you'll find a couple of picnic groves and an incredible view of the Taal lake and Taal volcano in the nearby Batangas province.
Angeles (84km)
Angeles is known for being a site of countless historical monuments and buildings. If you're a history buff (or want to be) and are thinking of taking a weekend getaway from Manila, this should be at the top of your list.
Fort Stotsenburg – an old colonial fort – Salakot Arch – a monument to their alliance with the US- and the Old Pamintuan Residence – the headquarters of Major General Arthur MacArthur, Jr – are just a few of the interesting attractions to see in this city. Of course, Angeles also offers a side of Filipino culture you just won't see in Manila. Every October, the city is host to the Big Bite! Northern Food Festival, a great chance to experience Filipino cuisine.
Batangas (110km)
Which bring us to our final recommendation, Batangas. Batangas city is the capital city of the province of (surprise!) Batangas. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations next to the Manila metro area. This is probably largely due to the previously mentioned Taal lake and Taal Volcano. However, there are a bunch of other reasons to select this city for your weekend getaway.
Batangas also has some brilliant beaches. Number one (debatably, because they're all pretty amazing) is Laiya in San Juan. It's a very developed beach with lots of places to rent a deck chair and spend the day relaxing. Another brilliant beach is Anilao, one of the area's best diving locations, with some brilliant scenery as well.

The hype was huge: on Sept. 9, 2009 (9/9/09) die-hard Beatles fans around the world snatched up copies of a new CD with 45 digitally remastered songs ― including some previously unreleased voice recordings ― and an unprecedented opportunity to experience the artistry of The Beatles through The Beatles: Rockband, a music-based game for Xbox 360, Microsoft, Playstation 3 and Nintendo's Wii.
The Beatles: Rockband allows fans to pick up the guitar, bass, microphone or drums and experience The Beatles' extraordinary catalogue of music for themselves.
But fans weren't the only ones celebrating: Sound Recording Technology (SRT) alum Greg Capolino put his degree and significant industry experience to use as sound designer for Harmonix Music Systems, developers of the Rockband music video game.
"I did a lot of the tempo-mapping for the music, which serves as the foundation for the transcribing and note charting of the instruments," says Capolino. "Basically, my job was to take the mix stems ― or the individual parts of the music separated by instrument ― that were coming in from Abbey Road Studios, create tempo tracks throughout and allow for authoring ― or creating ― the 'MIDI' notes that become the gems players must hit in the game," says Capolino.
"I also worked on sweetening ― or improving the sound quality through a process like remastering ― several never-before-seen videos that players can unlock to view as they play," he says.
Capolino also created voiceover editing in five different languages, so people who've never played Rockband can access a tutorial and hear instructions in their own language. The instruction is combined with visuals that create the setting of being in Abbey Road Studios with a recording engineer who speaks to them through a "talkback" in the control room.
"The SRT program gave me the foundation of musical and technical knowledge to really help get my career up and running," Capolino says. "An education that incorporates music theory, performance, history, critical listening and hands-on studio time comes in handy."

Agricultural Well being And Medicine
Rhetoric, commonly understood as the artwork, observe, and analysis of persuasion, has longstanding connections to medication and well being. Well being Upkeep Organizations or (HMO) kinds of medical insurance are often criticized for extreme price-chopping insurance policies that embrace accountants or other administrators making medical decisions for purchasers. Americans particularly are in search of a more natural, safer and effective technique to deal with disease, remedy ailments and restore well being. Conventional drugs has the same therapy parameters for prognosis whatever the patient. Natural medicine is a facet of people medicine that includes using gathered plant parts to make teas, poultices , or powders that purportedly impact cures.
Evolutionary biology and drugs every cover immense scientific landscapes, subsuming many approaches to various points. Particular scholarship utility course of information is included in the related scholarship itemizing. Gill spoke in opposition to the GOP's Affordable Well being Care Act Tuesday night time at a Stand Up For Justice rally on the lawn of the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts. Insurance companies normally do not announce their medical health insurance premiums multiple year upfront.
That is where health care suppliers either unconsciously or consciously treat certain racial and ethnic sufferers otherwise than they deal with their white sufferers. Naturopathic follow is predicated on six principles based on medical tradition and scientific proof. Organisms are, as an alternative, bundles of compromises shaped by pure choice to maximize reproduction, not well being.
Examples of potential discipline study visits include websites like neighborhood well being clinics, school-primarily based health centers, mobile well being resources, health advocacy organizations, public health prevention campaigns, or medical research centers.

Port (also known as Vinho do Porto) is a Portuguese fortified wine from the Douro Valley in northern Portugal. The wine is generally red, sweet, and often served as a dessert wine although it also comes in dry, off-dry and white styles as well.
Touriga Nacional is a small red grape considered to be the finest in Portugal where it is used in Port blends as well as dry table wines. Touriga Nacional provides structure and body to wine, contributing tannins and dark fruit flavors. It is often blended with Touriga Franca for bouquet.
Portugal's winemakers have been conservative in one respect – keeping faith with their grapes. And no wonder! Portugal's varieties are unique, with thrillingly different flavors. Yet quality-wise there has been no resting on traditional laurels. A quarter-century of investment, education, open-mindedness and flair has meant explosive change. Choice has multiplied too. Alongside co-ops and large companies, myriad estates now make their own distinctive wines. Terroir is so diverse. From north to south, from east to west, from mountain to maritime vineyards, hot and dry or cool and green. In every style, from fizz to port, from crisp dry whites to elegant reds, in so many diverse ways, Portuguese wines are unique.

Cleaning up the default Hubot Slack installation
If you set up a new Hubot, using the Slack Developer Kit for Hubot you'll get an awesome bot, but with a lot of useless stuff in it. In this blog I'll outline all the things that can be safely cleaned up. The scripts can run on both Powershell (Windows) and Bash (Linux/Mac).
The project comes with a lot of useful and less useful dependencies. You can uninstall them with the following script:
# no ping, pong - please!
npm uninstall hubot-diagnostics
# [no] hablo espanol
npm uninstall hubot-google-translate
# uninstall Google maps
npm uninstall hubot-maps
# no images needed
npm uninstall hubot-google-images
# no Redis brain
npm uninstall hubot-redis-brain
# no Heroku
npm uninstall hubot-heroku-keepalive
# no pugs needed!
npm uninstall hubot-pugme
# no external scripts needed
npm uninstall hubot-scripts
# our bot can violate all the rules of Azimov
npm uninstall hubot-rules
# don't squirrel me!
npm uninstall hubot-shipit
I don't like to use external scripts and I have no need for scripts in packages, so I'll removed the files associated with it. And there's no need for a Procfile. Note: if you want to run scripts from NPM packages, you'll need to keep the
# no NPM packages with scripts are needed
rm external-scripts.json
# no script files needed
rm hubot-scripts.json
# no need for Heroku
rm Procfile
So, that's it. Now I only need to find a way to share environment variables when doing Hubot development. Oh well.

Philip's Learn ALL the Notes of the Guitar Flash Cards
[14523 / 9781782800033]
By: Will Fly Date Added: 10/22/2014I've been playing guitar for nearly 50 years and taught myself to read music during that time. Having said that, I was impressed by the clarity of execution and principle behind these flash cards. I worked through them for fun and, experienced as I am, still made the odd slip here and there! Just wish I'd had these when I was starting out on the instrument all those years ago.

I can't believe this device which was held in such high regard at launch is still running 2.3.6 ,
the Canadian Rom has been released to Rogers since early March and yet several
months later nothing , unbelievable how long it takes to add 5 bloatware
system apps and to test all features for functionality.

Rogers won't comment on it. If you want it sooner, flash a custom ROM.
Rogers could post an update schedule and save my sanity that way...

Sorry — I'm new to the forum. And yes — I see there are several "Where's my ICS" threads floating around.
So again — Sorry.
But when I bought my phone the rep told me that "the NOTE was Samsungs flagship phone - you shouldn't be waiting long".

Sorry if I came off a bit harsh there...not really my intention.
MOre that Rogers really should post something of an update schedule..or maybe even say "We're working hard to bring ICS to all our "..whatever.

Hey no worries. It probably would have been smarter for me to browse the forum then post - not post, then browse.
Nonetheless - yes, any type of a response from Rogers on the rollout of ICS would be just awesome ... then so would winning the lottery ... which I probably have a marginally better shot at than getting a response from Rogers 😐
The update should come July 21st apparently according to mobile syrup and a press release from Rogers, though that's a Saturday which seems strange. I feel your pain. I just bought the Note and love it, Hubby got the S2 before S3 came out and he's already running ICS doesn't seem right when the Note is their flagship device.

Rogers screwed me over in the past, I gave them another chance and bought the Note with a 3 year contract. Now I'm paying for it. These phones have very short lifespans before they're obsolete. What is taking them so frigging long?
July 13th. 🙂

'It's no small feat': cyclist prepares for Everest ride
IT'S a challenge known to bring grown men to tears. But this knowledge hasn't deterred Toowoomba cyclist Brenton Thompson.
Mr Thompson will take part in the Everesting Ride next month, an activity which requires cyclists to ascend and descend a hill multiple times, cumulatively climbing the same elevation as Mt Everest - a cool 8848 metres.
He will attempt the feat on Hunchy Road in Montville, a 5.6km hill set at a 7.5 per cent gradient. Three other cyclists will complete challenge with him.
"I have mixed emotions about the upcoming ride," Mr Thompson said.
"I'm excited by the prospects, but overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude.
"I've heard the more you ride the more the pain compounds, and I've never tackled something like this."
Mr Thompson turned to cycling seven years ago after a knee injury.
He has now completed several long course rides, but considers this his biggest challenge yet.
The riders will donate all funds raised from the event to RACQ LifeFlight. Mr Thompson has raised more than $3000 so far.
"I do quite a bit of mountain biking near Mt Lofty, and I often see the LifeFlight helicopter going overhead and think - 'one day that could be me.'
"A lot of people have been supported by them and this is just a way to give back."
Mr Thompson will begin his ride at 4am on November 10, and hopes to cross the finish line before midnight.
If he completes the ride, he will be inducted into the Everesting Hall of Fame.
More information can be found on the RACQ LifeFlight Cycling Challenge Facebook page, donations can be made here.

Germany sticks to Nord Stream 2 pipeline despite Ukraine crisis
BERLIN - Germany is still cοmmitted to the NοrdStream 2 pipeline, which will allow Russia to bypass Ukraine in transpοrting gas to Eurοpe, despite escalating tensiοn in the regiοn, a gοvernment spοkesman in Berlin said οn Wednesday.
The United States and others have stepped up criticism of the prοject since Russia seized three Ukrainian ships near Crimea οn Sunday. Critics say the pipeline will make Germany and Eurοpe too dependent οn Russia fοr its energy supplies.
"I have taken nοte of the criticism but nοthing has changed in the basic view of the ecοnοmic prοject which is what NοrdStream is," said German gοvernment spοkesman Steffen Seibert.
He added that Germany still wanted to ensure Ukraine would remain a transit cοuntry fοr gas frοm Russia to Eurοpe. Earlier, Ukraine's ambassadοr to Germany had said NοrdStream 2 should be put οn hold.
Government officials later said that Chancellοr Angela Merkel would discuss the latest tensiοns in Ukraine with bοth Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Dοnald Trump in meetings at the margins of this week's G20 summit in Buenοs Aires.
The United States wants its Eurοpean allies to cοnsider further sanctiοns against Russia, the U.S. Special Representative fοr Ukraine Negοtiatiοns said οn Wednesday.
Several seniοr Eurοpean pοliticians οn Tuesday also raised the pοssibility of new sanctiοns against Russia to punish it fοr capturing the Ukrainian vessels, an incident the West fears cοuld ignite a wider cοnflict.
But a spοkesman fοr the German fοreign ministry said the debate abοut further sanctiοns was premature.
"It's a legal instrument that has cοnsequences fοr those who are affected by the sanctiοns so that means yοu need to cοnsider and discuss it carefully," said the spοkesman.

|Average H&F Home Earns Almost Four Times as Much as Homeowner
200,000 pound rise makes largest earnings difference in country
House prices in Hammersmith and Fulham increased by an average of £199,930 over the last two years, according to the latest research from Halifax.
This meant that the rise in house prices exceeded average take-home earnings in the area by £143,232 - the largest difference in the country.
The research found that over the past two years average house prices have increased by more than the average employee's net earnings in almost one in five – 73 out of 384 – local authority districts across the UK. The vast majority of the districts - 68 out of 73 - were in London, the South East, and East.
Looking at the longer term picture, the research found that over the past decade (2005 - 2014) average house prices have increased by more than total pay in just two areas across the UK Hammersmith & Fulham and Hackney.
And house prices are continuing to soar upwards with a national rise of 9% in 2014 and a much sharper rise of 16% in London, which meant that houses were earning more than their owners in 95 local authority districts - a quarter of the total.
Martin Ellis, housing economist at Halifax, says: " The housing market recovery over the past couple of years has resulted in some substantial prices rises in some areas of the country, particularly in London and the South East.
"This has resulted in homes increasing in value by more than total take-home earnings for the average homeowner in some areas of the country.
"This is good news for some homeowners. At the same time, it is challenging news for those looking to buy their first home in such areas, with prices being pushed out of range for many young people."

I have to put my hand clearly and as high in the air as I can and admit that I saw very little football on the weekend. As a lot of weekend was spent in a drunken haze or a hungover state that I wouldn't even wish upon Ben Warren. I can read numbers though, so I have gone through these numbers as well as quizzing my esteemed colleagues and come up with a list if under performers for round 8.
Heath Shaw– All on board the Heath Shaw roller coaster the ride that promises to be a thrill but without doubt could bring that hot dog from the bile in your stomach only to leave you standing their with a terrible taste in your mouth and a burning sensation in the back of your throat. This man who runs around like it is illegal to take strides over a metre in length could only manage to score 50 points against the Dockers on Friday night. 50 from a player who is considered a premium back is simply not good enough. A repeat of this pitiful performance will almost certainly result in this guy dropping further in price.
Jack Trengove – There comes a time in everyone's year when they need to cut players from their list that have performed. Jack has done his job and after scoring 50 on the weekend his break-even is now in the 70's. Does this mean that he has reached his peak? Maybe not, but the money to be made from Jack Sprat could be slow and annoying. Is it time to diwn-grade this guy to another rookie and make a "mid-ranger" into a gun. I'm sorry Jack but it is time to go, thankyou for the money that you have made us, but the tribe has spoken.
Kurt Can't Quite Tippet-Kurt Tippet would have to be the biggest let down since I found out that Milli Vanilli didn't really sing "Blame it on the Rain". Week in and week out he has let down his coaches and this week he racked up a huge 6 kicks and 9 hit-outs. I know I have chopped this guy before and I will probably chop him again before the year is out. But if you keep on being rubbish Kurt, we will keep kicking you to the curb.
Mark McVeigh– Mark, Mark, Mark…. what were you thinking? I did not watch this game at all but I am pretty sure that he only scored 22 points, he had the job on Milne and playing on that guy would be without an extremely off putting experience. Unless you are injured or abducted by some African Pirates at half time then you should definitely score more than 22. Calvin is a very average basketballer and can still score 22 points in a 40 minute game. Mark McVeigh, you can use any excuses that you like but I'm sorry…. Not good enough!!!!!

Services: 10.30am
"Teach us to number our days aright that we might gain a heart of wisdom" Psalm (90.12)
As the clocks go back and we "gain" an hour it might be worth pausing to ask how we use the gift of time.
Filling the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run may give you the world and everything in it but as this world is passing and fading, is it not better to store treasure in heaven where there is no decline or waste. Treasure of a timeless nature surely has more to do with personality and people than by being possessed by possessions.
There are, to quote a Christian author writing on parenting skills, very few men who on their deathbed say "If only I had spent more time at the office..."
And it isn't just with families that quality time is required but time in service of others, making time or leaving time for others to engage with us, is great wealth as it shapes our character and blesses their lives.
The rules for holy living found in Leviticus 19 encourage the farmer not to harvest up to the edge of his field or double pick the vine – rather leave these for the poor and alien.
Perhaps we can apply that teaching to our husbandry of our time. Time is a great teacher but unfortunately it kills all its pupils so we might do well to apply the wisdom of this scripture today. We can either harvest right up to the edge of each day and pick over the fallen/wasted moment in time ensuring our lives (and those of our families) are rammed with activity. Or we can learn to leave time for others, to be present to them and to God who offers to accompany us in our living well and wisely.
In view of this how then shall we live?
We hope to leave time available for anyone who would like prayer and counsel on Friday afternoons at the Baptist church. We will give of our time, listening to and praying for you as you require. In this small way and others we seek to be both blessed and become a blessing. May you too find the time for others and for God in your living.

CoolIT Systems Liquid Cools Intel 'Cherry Creek' Supercomputer for UNLV Deployment at SUPERNAP to Boost Scientific Research
UNLV Welcomes World-Class Intel Supercomputing Cluster, Cooled by CoolIT Systems
Calgary, AB (PRWEB) October 03, 2014
Technology industry leaders Intel and Switch SUPERNAP have partnered to bring Cherry Creek, one of the world's most powerful supercomputers that's liquid cooled by CoolIT Systems to the University Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV).
Developed in collaboration with Intel and SuperMicro, Cherry Creek first featured live at the Supercomputing Conference 2013 and delivered 131.5 TFLOPS at only 74kW of power. Cherry Creek was cooled using CoolIT's Direct Contact Liquid Cooling (DCLC) system with an AHx35 pumping and heat exchanger component. This placed Cherry Creek 400th on the 2013 Top500 Supercomputer Sites list and 41st on the 2013 Green500 list of the world's most energy efficient supercomputers at that time.
This special computer is now housed in Switch's Las Vegas SUPERNAP data center and available to UNLV researchers through SUPERNAP's unique connectivity network. The Cherry Creek supercomputer gives the university and its research partners access to world-class computing power and provides for scientific discovery, the innovation of applications, and regional economic development efforts.
The Cherry Creek supercomputer is seven times faster in processing data than the supercomputer currently used by UNLV researchers, owing to the combination of Intel® Xeon® processors, Xeon Phi™ coprocessors, and Intel® True Scale Fabric that Cherry Creek uses.
About Cherry Creek
The original Cherry Creek 'demonstration' system was developed in conjunction with and support from Bright Computing, CoolIT Systems, Intel, Micron Technology, and Supermicro. Cherry Creek is capable of processing data roughly seven times faster than UNLV's supercomputing center currently allows. Speed in supercomputing is measured in floating-point operations per second (FLOPS). Originally featured live at the Supercomputing 2013 conference, Intel Cherry Creek delivers 131.5 TFLOPS at only 74kW of power, which placed it 400th on the November Top500 list and 41st on the Green500 rankings of the world's most energy efficient supercomputers at that time.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.
Unless we do something nothing happens, and if nothing changes then nothing changes. I can sit here and think about what I want out of life, what I need to keep me safe and healthy, and I can dream about the women and adventures I might desire, but unless I take some positive steps I most likely will never get anything on my wish list.
For much of my life I would even come up with well thought out reasons and excuses why I couldn't have or get what I wanted. I didn't have enough money, there just wasn't the time, she doesn't like me anyway, I'm too busy working…..
The truth was that I just didn't have the courage or the realism to even try to get what I really wanted out of life. Nor did I have the focus or psychological adaptability to change what I wanted, if what I first wanted was clearly impossible. We can't all be a rock star, and the truth is I never wanted to be. But there are some things that I wanted from a relationship, and I didn't have the focus to make that work, nor did I have the guts to just walk away when it was clear that my relationships weren't giving me what I wanted, needed, and desired.
However, somewhere along the way things changed for me. I wanted to be materially and financially prosperous enough that I could stop working for a living, and instead live a great life. That has happened. I wanted to stop being a miserable, judgemental jerk, and instead be a cool and charismatic guy. That has happened too.
What I want, need, and desire, right now, is to improve my relationship with a female friend, and I'll work on that. If the relationship doesn't improve in the ways I need, then I now have the emotional strength to just walk away.
Some say that we each have dreams and personal ambitions we want to fulfil. And, that we will always face great opposition to seeing our dreams come true. All I know is that if I don't try to make my dreams come true, than nobody else will make them come true for me.

Cultivating Autonomy from Empire: Exploring the Edges of Anarchism and Permaculture
Montgomery, Nicholas
MetadataShow full item record
This project explores autonomy-oriented currents within permaculture and anarchism. Drawing on a minor current of Western thought influenced by Baruch Spinoza, autonomy is reconceptualized as a situational process that entails both connection and separation. Autonomy is thus an always-partial departure from the toxic patterns nurtured by capitalism, white supremacy, heteropatriarchy, settler colonialism, state domination, and other forms of subjection. This investigation focuses on the way autonomy-oriented currents transform their own relationships and situations, rather than seeking to ameliorate Empire's institutions. As a project-based thesis undertaken through Cultural Studies, this investigation involved a number of components in addition to this text, including a blog, co-authoring a book, and propagating perennials and fruit trees. These activities are drawn into conversation with other autonomy-oriented texts and practices, and their potentials and pitfalls are analyzed in relation to liberalism, morality, counterhegemony, academia, oppression, industrialization, militancy, and settler colonialism.

Hi Melanie and all the other SF Chowhounds. Long-time reader, first time poster, life-long Chowhound.
One Market, DAT review.
The concept of DAT should be simple, try a new place or sample some dishes at a place where you might not normally go. Find a restaurant to add to your personal Zagat's, or share with a friend. I'll share.
Big Stu and Miss Madge had a most delicious DAT experience at One Market. We are foodies and I'm a Chowhound. We eat out 1-2 per week, and I've been to most places I've wanted to go to in S.F. My philosophy is: "It's easy to have a good meal for $100, the trick is to find a great meal for $30." I've had some OK DAT meals, but yet to have a great one.
We did find a great meal, two in fact. One Market "gets" the DAT concept. They've selected items from their regular menu. Items to try and if you like you can order regularly. Plus putting regular menu items on the DAT prix fixe displays the kitchen expertise with consistent items.
Also, One Market is smart. They have the same menu for the entire DAT. The hostess told me it's so they can attract new diners; not get the same people every week eating a different line-up. It's working. The chef told a friend they are getting lots of DAT dinners. It's easy to see why.
Big Stu started with spinach soup. There was a small center island of mushrooms. Cream swirled on top. Miss Madge went with smoked trout and toasted brie. The smoke was very aromatic, but not over-powering. Eat the toasted brie croquette first before it cools.
I reserved our seats on-line, and REQUESTED seats with a view of the kitchen. We were pleased to have seats at the counter. I know lots of people don't like the counter. The couple next to us was complaining as they were shown their seats -- walk-ins on a full night. Sit back and enjoy the show, it's like a version of the TV show the restaurant in person. Must see TV, indeed.
Back to the Chow. Entrees
Sea Bass, a disk 4" in diameter. The fish was very tender and flaky. Lobster butter sauce comes in a miniature pitcher to be savored over the entrée.
Madge had pork shoulder. Sitting by the kitchen, I can tell you how it is prepared. They are marinated in a baggy, held in warm water, and then opened as needed. One Market has their own butcher shop in the back. There is also a chef's table, $70/per person for a 7 course tasting menu min. 6 people.
After our entrée we received a little surprise. Except for "all you can eat", are there any four words more welcome than "with the chef's compliments"? These words tickled Big Stu's ears, just our attentive waiter presented a refresher which tickled our palate. Blood Orange served over a Campari Ice slush. These were being served to diners at the counter this evening. In addition to watching yours and everyone else's meal being prepared, we got a treat. A tasty interlude.
Desserts were sublime, according to Madge.
Chocolate cake in the form of mousse for Big Stu. Sherfen Berger chocalte made the dish rich, and dense, but light tasting.
Pear tart for Madge, who mourns the passing of pear season, putting away the ripening/rottening bag at home. The tart dessert is the way to have a pear. The crust was flaky. Red was fascinated with the pear chip garnish. She theorized maybe the creme brulee torch was used, or perhaps a drier.
We learned the pears are thinly sliced on a meat slicer (you can use a mandolin), covered with sugar and cooked on a tray in the center of an oven for 3 hours. By not doing them in a food dehydrator, they don't curl up on the sides.
Wine selection is extensive. The wine room is in the front and kept at a 59.7 F.
The best $30 per person + $10 for Madge's red wine (Big Stu is not a drinker)
We definitely will return, the service was attentive and prompt. The view was great. You have not lived until you've seen seven pork shoulders (one order split), three sea bass, and two lamb-three-ways all come out at the same time.
Chef Adrian Hoffman has livened up the menu and brought together an interesting take on cuisine.
For those doing the DAT math, the usual entree is $26, so for $4 more you get an appetizer, and dessert. Making me think, this was a great meal for $60 each, a wonderful meal at DAT prices. This is the best DAT I've had in all the years I've dined out. Too bad it only lasts a month. If you missed, mark your calendar for next years DAT.
Bon appetit. Stay tuned for Big Stus Chow-gathering

Nevada Social Studies Curriculum by TCI
Nevada: Teaching for the 21st-Century
When it comes to your students, you know how important it is for them to be engaged in class discussions, lectures, and activities. You know that their grades and knowledge of the subject will ultimately reflect on the level of involvement they have in class. So as the passionate and amazing teacher that you are, you constantly strive to find new ways to engage your students and get them interested in learning more. Teaching social studies is more challenging today than in any other point in history, but it also may be more important now than ever before for your students to actually learn about the history of our country, the government, economics, and the social and political climate of today's world. TCI wants to give you the tools you need to perfect teaching social studies, and that includes social studies curriculum for all ages that keeps students actively involved in their learning so they can understand and retain the concepts.
Elementary social studies curriculum should allow students to learn age-appropriate concepts that not only cover the Nevada social studies standards, but that also provide them with a foundational knowledge of important social studies topics. In the same way, high school and middle school social studies curriculum should build on that foundational knowledge and delve deeper into the intricacies of social studies concepts, allowing students a platform on which to learn and develop their own ideas and perspectives. TCI has integrated Nevada standards into all of our social studies curriculum programs, and we've made every part of our curriculum interesting, engaging, and informative to make teaching social studies simpler, easier, and more enjoyable for both you and your students.
Teacher Resources
A good social studies curriculum program is worth its weight in gold—no teacher will deny that. However, we've pushed the standards to the limit to provide you with far more than you ever imagined could come from a curriculum program. Our high school, middle school, and elementary social studies curriculum all come with invaluable teacher resources to further minimize prep time, more thoroughly engage your students, and simplify the entire process of teaching social studies. Not only is our Nevada social studies curriculum packed with ready-to-use lessons, pre-made presentations, and interactive activities, but it also gives you access to our online library of resources.
We know that you need everything you teach and test to be aligned with Nevada social studies standards, so we've integrated those into every part of our social studies curriculum. We also give you access to customizable assessments so you can gauge your students' understanding and comprehension of key concepts, as well as help them prepare for standardized testing and future social studies classes.
Student Resources: Print + Digital
Just like teachers can benefit a great deal from helpful resources, so also can students experience advantages from having access to a number of study tools and interactive platforms. Our social studies curriculum programs allow students to access information on a number of devices, and they can enjoy both print and digital formats of most materials. They can play lesson games, watch tutorials, utilize a media library, and more. Our elementary, high, and middle school social studies curriculum will keep your students interested in the information and will encourage them to continuously interact with the concepts in a variety of ways, leading to a better understanding and more complete retention.
We Go Where You Go
You can prepare at home, teach in your classroom, assign homework from a mobile device, and more.
Everything You Need in One Place
In addition to our amazing social studies curriculum, TCI provides teacher resources and students resources for additional growth, and it's all in one easy-to-access location.

While this knowledge can lead to feelings of powerlessness, understand that surrender and acceptance doesn't mean that you are totally powerless. On the contrary, you are very powerful and it is important to trust that things are going to get better for you. Do what you can to sur- render to the mystery that is life and also maintain your positive thoughts. Believe that the overall theme of life is a positive one and trust that surrendering control will lead to positive outcomes. The last week of December con- tinues the theme from the first week of community and support. This week you will receive im- portant advice, assistance and/ or help from another.

JOHOR BARU • Johor Princess Tunku Tun Aminah Sultan Ibrahim and Dutch-born Dennis Muhammad Abdullah were dressed in resplendent Johor Malay baju as they wed yesterday at Istana Bukit Serene, the official residence of the royal family.
The ceremony, steeped in traditional Malay custom, was witnessed by Johor Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar and his consort Raja Zarith Sofiah Idris Shah, close family members and friends, said a statement from the Royal Press Office (RPO) of the Johor Palace.
Also present were the groom's parents Martin and Henriette Verbaas, his brother and sister, as well as close family friends who had flown in from the Netherlands.
Tunku Aminah, 31, is the second of six siblings, and the only daughter of the Johor ruler and Permaisuri Johor Raja Zarith. Tunku Aminah is president of the Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) Football Club, which is owned by her brother, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim.
Mr Dennis Muhammad, 28, was born Dennis Verbaas in Lisse, a town near Amsterdam. He converted to Islam in May 2015.
He was a semi-professional footballer and a former marketing manager of Singapore's Tampines Rovers Football Club. He also previously served as manager of the JDT Concept Store and Cafe.
He now works with a property developer in Johor.
At the ceremony yesterday, Mr Dennis Muhammad, who wore a traditional white Johor baju and donned a black Malay songkok on his head, solemnly uttered his wedding vows before Johor Mufti Muhammad Tahrir Shamsudin.
The groom was then led to a special room on the first floor of the palace, where his bride was waiting, for the ring-placing ceremony.
Tunku Aminah was dressed in a traditional Johor baju kurung with a white selendang, or head covering.
In keeping with Malay wedding custom, the groom gave her a mas kahwin, or dowry - a sum of RM22.50 (S$7.15) - the RPO statement said.
The couple then paid their respects by kissing the hands of their respective parents, as well as their aunts and uncles, in the main lobby of the two-storey palace.
The families of the bride and groom had earlier exchanged wedding gifts, with trays laden with the items carried into the hall by soldiers of the Johor Military Force, the security unit under the Sultan.
The gifts from the Johor royal family to the groom included a copy of the Quran, a prayer mat, a gold ring and a set of traditional Malay men's shirt and trousers with sampin, a special cloth worn around a man's waist.
In the evening, the couple participated in the Istiadat Bersanding (sitting-in-state) ceremony inside the Throne Room of Istana Besar, which was restricted to only royalty and very important guests.
They included representatives from the Pahang, Perak and Selangor royal families; Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah and Queen Saleha; Prime Minister Najib Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor; and Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean.
The newlyweds later made their first public appearance as husband and wife on the steps of Istana Besar, or the Grand Palace, smiling and waving at the 1,200 guests gathered at the garden terrace for the wedding reception.

On May 28, 2018, the Department of Finance sent draft legislation to the House of Commons relating to the Base Erosion Profit Shifting ("BEPS") initiative. Specifically, the "Multilateral Instrument in Respect of Tax Conventions Act", if passed by both Parliament and the Senate, would ratify the OECD's "Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting" (more commonly known as the MLI).
The initiative was first discussed in the G20 meeting in 2012 as a fallout from the Financial Crisis of 2008-2009. The use of transfer pricing to shift profits from high-tax to lower-tax jurisdictions had become more public by that stage (specifically with larger companies such as Apple, Google, and Starbucks). As a result, cash starved governments and the general public had a strong will to tackle perceived abuses by multinational enterprises ("MNEs"). After the G20 meeting, the OECD was charged with the task of forming a BEPS task force to address global issues related to erosion of tax bases as well as profit-shifting transactions and legal structures.
In 2015, the BEPS task force released final reports for the 15 actions plans that had been drawn up earlier. Some of the action plans dealt with international tax issues surrounding the use of hybrid instruments, interest deductibility, and permanent establishments. Action Plans 8-10 and 13 specifically address transfer pricing concerns, including the requirement for larger MNEs (with revenues greater than €750 million) to prepare Country-by-Country ("CbC") legislation that would be part of a global sharing initiative between tax authorities that have ratified the MLI.
If Canada passes the legislation, Canada will formally adopt the minimum standards, which require modifications to Canada's tax treaties to reflect new anti-abuse rules. In addition, three optional standards will be adopted, which will:
- impose a 365-day holding period for shares of Canadian companies held by non-resident companies. The holding period will ensure that the lower treaty-based rate of withholding tax on dividends will not be available to non-resident companies that engage in certain short-term share acquisitions;
- impose a 365-day test period for non-residents who realize capital gains on the disposition of shares or other interests that derived their value from Canadian immovable property. The test period will guard against certain transactions designed to obtain a treaty-based exemption from Canadian taxes on capital gains; and
- incorporate the MLI provision for resolving dual resident entity cases. This provision employs an effective approach to resolving dual resident cases to prevent potential double taxation, while providing protection against companies and other entities that attempt to manipulate their tax residence to avoid or reduce their taxes.
Canada signed an intention to ratify the MLI in 2017 along with introducing new Section 233.8 in December 2016 which outlined the requirement to prepare CbC documentation. CbC must be prepared by taxpayers exceeding the threshold and it is applicable to all taxation years beginning on January 1, 2016 or afterwards. The first exchanges of reports began in June 2018.
