Question: "What is the difference between Sheol, Hades, Hell, the lake of fire, Paradise, and Abraham's bosom?" Answer: The different terms used in the Bible for heaven and hell—sheol, hades, gehenna, the lake of fire, paradise, and Abraham's bosom—are the subject of much debate and can be confusing. The word "paradise" is used as a synonym for heaven (2 Corinthians 12:4; Revelation 2:7). When Jesus was dying on the cross and one of the thieves being crucified with Him asked Him for mercy, Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43). Jesus knew that His death was imminent and that He would soon be in heaven with His Father. Therefore, Jesus used paradise as a synonym for heaven, and the word has come to be associated with any place of ideal loveliness and delight. Abraham's bosom is referred to only once in the Bible—in the story of Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19-31). It was used in the Talmud as a synonym for heaven. The image in the story is of Lazarus reclining at a table leaning on Abraham's breast—as John leaned on Jesus' breast at the Last Supper—at the heavenly banquet. There are differences of opinion about what exactly Abraham's bosom represents. Those who believe the setting of the story is a period after the Messiah's death and resurrection see Abraham's bosom as synonymous with heaven. Those who believe the setting to be prior to the crucifixion see Abraham's bosom as another term for paradise. The setting is really irrelevant to the point of the story, which is that wicked men will see the righteous in happiness, and themselves in torment, and that a "great gulf" exists between them (Luke 16:26) which will never be spanned. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the word used to describe the realm of the dead is sheol. It simply means the "place of the dead" or the "place of departed souls/spirits." The New Testament Greek word that is used for hell is "hades," which also refers to "the place of the dead." The Greek word gehenna is also used in the New Testament for hell and is derived from the Hebrew word hinnom. Other Scriptures in the New Testament indicate that sheol/hades is a temporary place where the souls of unbelievers are kept as they await the final resurrection and judgment at the Great White Throne judgment. The souls of the righteous go directly into the presence of God— heaven/paradise/Abraham's bosom—at death (Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:23). The lake of fire, mentioned only in Revelation 19:20 and 20:10, 14-15, is the final hell, the place of eternal punishment for all unrepentant rebels, both angelic and human (Matthew 25:41). It is described as a place of burning sulfur, and those in it experience eternal, unspeakable agony of an unrelenting nature (Luke 16:24; Mark 9:45-46). Those who have rejected Christ and are in the temporary abode of the dead in hades/sheol have the lake of fire as their final destination. But those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life should have no fear of this terrible fate. By faith in Christ and His blood shed on the cross for our sins, we are destined to live eternally in the presence of God.

What is a simple program that I can use to adjust the brightness of a DVD clip ( Extracted from a DVD using DVDShrink....) and then output it in the same format, so that I can then use my trusty VideoReDo to edit the clip to get the segments I want, and then convert it for my Ipad2 using good old Handbrake.... I have tried using Video Enhancer but however way i do it the video output stutters or freezes
+ Reply to Thread
Results 1 to 5 of 5
Thread: adjusting brightness help
great advice, I already had it on my pc but have never though to use it in that manner.........Thanks!! BTW the output file has a slight out of sync audio problem, is there a setting to sort that or is it a long process to sort it ?
DVD Shrink's ripper hasn't been updated in years. Neither has DVD Decrypter's, but you can use DVD Decrypter to rip in IFO mode (this is NOT the same thing as ISO mode - be careful) and create one giant VOB file that you can edit or process as you wish. It shouldn't end up out of synch that way.
Note that there is always some small chance that DVD Decrypter won't be able to rip a DVD you have, but this is very unlikely for DVDs made outside of region 1 and if DVD Decrypter can't handle it, DVD Shrink probably won't either. But you're unlikely to encounter this with region 2 DVDs. -
Thanks for the info, its very much appreciated!!!

For Lent, I'm reading through the Major and Minor Prophets. While reading Hosea, I came across this verse:
Ephraim's glory shall fly away like a bird -- no birth, no pregnancy, no conception! (Hosea 9:11)One of God's curses is the decline of Israel's birthrate. Repeatedly in the prophets and especially in Hosea, God's curse comes in the form of ceasing to give his people, "wheat, wine, and oil." These three substances are allusions to the sacramental economy and thus designate God's favor for His people. But this is the first time that I noticed that God's curse also involves a decline in birthrate.
We know that European and Russian birthrates are either negative or hardly holding at replacement level. Of course this is a self-inflicted scourge upon society. But we must remember, divine scourges are always self-inflicted. God's Sacraments are being defaced by wacky liturgists and private judgment. Church attendance is at all time lows. Our birthrates are in the gutter. Can it be that God has allowed us to our own devices for a season to show us that we cannot live without Him?

The sheer power of VIM bleach gives you the confidence you need, eradicating all known germs. With VIM, you can be absolutely certain that the job is done.
Available in 35 countries worldwide, from the Netherlands and India to the Philippines, VIM has a long history. In the 1920s it was sold door to door in the UK. Since entering Vietnam, the brand has owned the leading position in toilet cleaner segment and wholly dedicated itself to accomplish the mission of protecting the health of 22 million Vietnamese households from disease-causing germs.
51% of bacteria in a house originates from the toilets. That is a big health problem for the family, considering that these microorganisms cause diseases like cholera, diarrhea and typhoid. All toilet cleaners having acid-based formulation available in the market recently only try to serve the single job of keeping a spotless clean toilet for consumers. Going beyond the normal mindset of just visible cleanliness,VIM is constantly developed to provide consumers with the most effective way to tackle the real problem they should be concerned about – toilet germs. Vim is a thick bleach toilet cleaner designed to cling to the toilet bowl surfaces, leaving them spackling clean and safe from germs. The innovative packaging – directable nozzle will deliver the powerful-formulated liquid in hard-to-reach places to destroy all dirt and kill all germs.
Embracing the vision of protecting the health of 85 million Vietnamese people from toilet disease-causing germs and serving 22 million households in Vietnam with absolute germ-free toilet, Vim dares to challenge the current practice of using proxy only for the toilets as well as the well-known belief in the sufficiency of a "spotless clean" toilet in ensuring the whole family health. With the highest commitment, Vim has taken up the pioneer role to get the whole society involved.
In 2009, a program to call for donation to build hundreds of germ-free school toilets for Vietnamese students was raised, receiving the great support from the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education & Training. Consumers really had a chance to show their awareness and contribution. The result was outstanding: hygienic toilets for 200 schools all over Vietnam. Along with fund-raising campaign, VIM also raised public awareness and action to fight against the hidden enemies lurk in the toilet by engaging them in School connection program. 20,000 volunteers participated and 23,000 bottles of Vim were used and delivered to more than 3,000 primary and secondary schools with an aim to improve the hygiene of school toilets for kids.
All the programs strongly connects with the vision of Vim, which is getting more germ-free toilets. More and more inspiring and engaging activities will be in place in years to come, promising a higher level of hygienic standard of living for consumers, and paving the way to reach Vim's ambition of protecting the health of 85 million Vietnamese consumers.
A bathroom fan that vents to the outside of your home is the surest way to air it out, but simply cracking a window is helpful during mild weather months. It's also a good idea to keep a stock of candles and matches in your bathroom. Light a candle when you have guests coming over and keep matches in an easy to access area.
Another place you can get some foul smells is from used bath towels. Wash your towels often and hang them up so that they can fully dry between uses. Towels that aren't able to dry quickly enough will smell musty. The same goes for any kind of floor mat you use. Make sure it dries out fully between uses.
Place a cup of vinegar on the floor of your shower when you aren't using it and close the door or curtain. This will draw in foul smelling odors when you aren't around to maintain things yourself.

Over at today's Publishing Perspectives, there's an interesting piece by translator Burton Pike about "Cultural Homogeneity and the Future of Literary Translation." This essay was written in preparation for a German Book Office panel discussion, and as such, it focuses more on bringing up issues and asking provocative questions—ones that will fit in well with the class I'm teaching this semester, and would be fun to reflect on and respond to . . . But for now, here's just a few bits that I found interesting (really, you should just read the whole article):
I used to tell my students in translation courses that in preparing to translate a writer they could never know enough about the writer's culture. But looking at the writing coming out of Europe now, I'm not so sure. Now I ask myself: What other culture? Or, what other culture? A creeping homogenization is developing in prose fiction, a kind of generic international content and style that transcends national borders. A broad horizontal culture seems to be replacing vertical national cultures. [. . .]
American scholars and students who discuss French or German philosophers or continental European theory frequently see no need to consult foreign sources in the original language, or to take into account what circumstances and cultural traditions in the original language might lie behind them: a colleague of mine once described contemporary English departments as "the monolingual in pursuit of the multicultural."
In an interview in Austria Kultur, the cultural magazine published by the Austrian government, the writer Jakob Lind describes himself as "a Viennese-born Dutchman turned Israeli with an Austrian passport, Eastern European parents." Lind lives in England, writes in German. If I translate him, what culture am I translating?
I'm not sure what direction this took in the panel discussion, but what's always interested me (mostly because of the publishing angle), is the way that authors around the world ape current trends in Anglo-American fiction in hopes of getting their work translated into English. That sounds a bit dismissive and damning, but I remember talking with editors in Germany a dozen years ago and having someone remark, "[Germans] used to write those experimental novels, now we write like Americans!" Which totally bummed me out. The retaining of something unique about a country's "book culture" is something I think is extremely important. And in some ways, it's the responsibility of (certain) publishers to help preserve this by publishing and promoting works that are "uniquely French" (if there is such a thing), or at least not "from France, but just like Freedom!" Otherwise, what's the point?

Mohandas K. Gandhi was a Hindu leader in India's quest for independence from Britain and was a prime apostle of nonviolence — "passive resistance" — as a way to achieve political and social goals. Gandhi was looked upon as a saint by many of his followers and was popularly known as "mahatma," which is Sanskrit for "great soul." The image of this small man wearing nothing but a loincloth and shawl and standing up to the great colonial power of Britain gained him, and his cause, worldwide attention.
Gandhi was born on Oct. 2, 1869, at Porbandar on the Kathiawar peninsula of India. At age 19 he went to London, where he studied at University College and was called to the bar by the Inner Temple. He opened a law practice in Bombay but had little success and accepted a position as a legal adviser with an Indian firm having interests in South Africa, where he found that Indian immigrants were denied civil liberties and political rights.
It was during his 20 years in South Africa that he began teaching the policy of passive resistance, or Satyagraha, in his struggle for human rights. After World War I, he began advocating passive resistance against Britain as a means to achieve home rule. He became the international symbol of a free India. In his pursuit of independence, he would become accustomed to spending time in prison.
Gandhi believed that through his and his followers' practice and advocacy of nonviolence Britain would eventually consider violence useless and would leave India — which it finally did in 1947. The next year, he was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon on Feb. 1, 1948, a funeral pyre of sandalwood bearing his rose-covered earthly remains was set alight by his son on the banks of the holy Jumna River in New Delhi. It was 24 hours, almost to the minute, after the assassin's bullets had shot him down as he was on his way to prayer. His body had been carried in state in a five hour procession over five and a half miles through the streets of Old and New Delhi. His funeral procession and cremation were witnessed by about a million people. His ashes were scattered on the Jumna.
On March 5, 2009, despite direct appeals from the Indian government and a last-minute stay from an Indian court, an auction of Mr. Gandhi's personal items — including his sandals, bowl, watch and spectacles — was held as planned at Antiquorum Auctioneers in New York City. The items were sold for $1.8 million.
The buyer was identified as Vijay Mallya, an Indian liquor and airline executive who owns the company that makes Kingfisher beer. A representative for Mr. Mallya, Tony Bedhi, did the bidding and later announced that the belongings would be returned to India for public display, but it was not clear whether they would be turned over to the government, as some officials have demanded.
Indian officials had maintained that the auction was illegal, but continued to negotiate with the owner, James Otis, over a possible resolution. Ultimately, the government and Mr. Otis were not successful in halting the auction.ARTICLES ABOUT MOHANDAS K. GANDHI

Carol Boeddeker-Genet had a few trips down memory lane this past week when some of the Boeddeker family was visiting from Minnesota. Among those memories are that Willie and Carol Boeddeker were originally from North Dakota, moving to California in 1963, and to Missouri in 1975 (where Willie thought I'd be so tickled to get back to milking cows!) We were so pleasantly surprised that back then 9 out of 10 drivers we met on the road in this area waved at us. Now, one is lucky if 1 out of 10 responds to a wave. I suppose it is just a "new generation" but certainly not a road friendly generation. Even though I am terrible at recognizing vehicles I still wave to those going by when I'm out in the front yard, with the same results as when driving. How sad this is.
We had local family in and out this past week. Saturday night we were treated to enchiladas and tacos that Rex Boeddeker fixed for all of us…so yummy. Rory Boeddeker stopped by for a few minutes after hunting to greet his aunt and uncle. I had the pleasure of a few minutes visit with Ivan Lawson at son Randy's place on Sunday.
We have another friendly stray dog here, a large older dog, probably Golden Retriever (mostly). From looking at his collar it appears he broke free from a chain. If this sounds familiar to you please call Regina Boeddeker at 683-3013 or Carol at 683-4229. We sure would like this dog to be with his owner as it would be heartbreaking to have to take him to a kill shelter. We cannot take on any more dogs.
Don't forget that the election is right around the corner. God Bless and be well.
From the desk of Jamey Herd: Another great day in the Lord at Pleasant Ridge Baptist. Wanda Dugan blessed us with a song during morning service. Brother Carl Ray was presented a card for Pastor Appreciation. Laveta Ray and Susan Dugan had nine little ones in Children's Church. They sang before going back to their class.
There was a good turnout on Saturday for the Fall Harvest Weiner Roast and Truck or Treat. Billy Joe reports there were 30 to 40 present. Due to the high wind they used the barbeque grill instead of a bonfire. I am sure the wieners tasted just as good.
The Old-Fashioned Camp Meeting begins on November 1st and 2nd at Pleasant Ridge with Pastor Carl Ray preaching the first two nights. Prayer meeting begins at 6 p.m., music at 6:30 and the service will begin at 7p.m. Goodhope Nazarene will host the service on November 3rd and 4th; November 5th and 6th at Breedon; November 8th and 9th at Red Bank; November 10th and 11th at Goodhope General Baptist and November 12th and 13th at Dogwood Nazarene. Everyone is welcome to attend any and all services. A Prayer Breakfast will be held at Dogwood Nazarene at 9 a.m. on October 30th. Pray for God's Blessings on these services as the community works together for the Glory of God.
I had a call from Joanne Lupton this afternoon. She is under the weather also. These up and down temperatures don't help with colds and allergies.

Susan Sinclair tells us they all are looking forward to our upcoming community revival, or as many of us are praying, the nation's and our community's awakening.
Our Sunday school lesson covered a portion of Joseph's life, the portion where he was asked to interpret Pharaoh's dream, because no one else was able to. Several things stood out as we saw the difference between young Joseph and a more mature Joseph (so true about us all!) One is he maintained a good attitude throughout his life, events did not make him bitter, he grew in maturity and became better. He was willing to be obedient to God and he gave glory to God for the gift he had rather than taking the glory for himself. Lastly, after interpreting the dream of pharaoh, Joseph was noticeably silent. He did not "toot his own horn" so to speak, he rested and humbled himself and waited for God to work in his life. The story is found in the book of Genesis and has many life lessons for us all.
Our praise reports included God's goodness and tender care of us, that it was good to be able to attend church and worship together, and for me to have such a wonderful recovery from the nighttime encounter with the copperhead snake.
The gospel music group, FaithFull, were blessed to play for an hour for the folks at Heart of the Ozarks nursing home in Ava Sunday afternoon.
The Dogwood Ladies Fellowship celebrates its third year anniversary this month; that is a lot of fellowship and good deeds for the community.
Until next time, God bless you and your loved ones.

New bankruptcy cases down again in MichiganBy Associated Press
Perhaps here's a sign of better times: Michigan bankruptcy cases are down again. The government says new filings last year were down 13 percent in bankruptcy courts in eastern and western Michigan. There were 53,000 cases pending at the start of the new year, but that number was lower, too, from a year ago. Looking out a bit longer, new cases in Michigan are down 28 percent compared to 2009. The state seems to be reflecting what's happened nationally. The government says new bankruptcy cases were down 13 percent last year in the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories. |

Playing with Heavy Hearts, Stoughton High Football Blanks Foxborough in First Division Contest of Season
The Stoughton High football team (5-0), playing in memory of teammate David Wade, a senior who tragically died on Sept. 29, came away with a 20-0 win over Foxborough (3-2), Friday night in Stoughton.
Photos in the media gallery by Justin Braga
Foxborough running back Kiivone Howard had three touchdowns in every game so far this season, for a total of 12 scores in four contests.
That trend stopped Friday night.
While Howard picked up more than 100-yards on the ground against Stoughton, he was kept out of the end zone, as was the rest of the Foxborough team, with the Black Knights shutting out the Warriors.
The Stoughton High football team's 20-0 win capped an emotional week for the Black Knights. Senior lineman David Wade, 17, died last Saturday, Sept. 29 after being accidentally shot. Just eight hours prior to the start of Friday's game, Wade's teammates attended his funeral.
But thanks to jumping out to an early lead and coming up with some key plays on defense, Stoughton was able to win one in memory of Wade.
With the victory, Stoughton improves to 5-0, while Foxborough falls to 3-2. More importantly, this was the first Hockomock League Davenport Division game of the season for both teams so Stoughton gains an early edge in the Davenport standings. The winner of the Davenport advances to the postseason.
"We've played better every week...that's our goal," Stoughton coach Greg Burke said after the game. "We don't look like much. We don't have a lot of size, but we've got some tough kids."
"They were pretty hungry and they're pretty talented," Foxborough coach Jack Martinelli said of Stoughton. "They did a great job from start to finish in all phases of the game."
Stoughton got the ball first and four plays into the opening drive, Marcus Middleton broke a 40-yard touchdown run along the Stoughton sideline. The extra point gave the Black Knights a 7-0 lead just 1:40 into the game.
"It's a big momentum swing," captain Adam Leonard said of the fast start. "We got the whole crowd behind us...and we felt like we were playing with Dave, Dave was out there; he was behind us."
Fellow captain Mike Connelly added: "The defense comes out on the field and they know they're working with the lead. That's huge."
Foxborough was able to move the ball on the Stoughton defense - getting into the red zone on three occasions, but the Warriors came up empty each time.
"You have to put some points on the board. You have to answer and we didn't. It's as simple as that," Martinelli said.
On the Foxborough's second drive, runs by Howard and Luc Valenza helped advance the ball to the Stoughton 7, but the drive stalled there. Stoughton forced quarterback Mike Slaby to throw incompletions on third and fourth down, with Foxborough turning the ball over on downs.
On the third play of the ensuing Stoughton drive, Middleton had an 87-yard touchdown run called back due to a block in the back penalty. Instead, Middleton gained only 17, but Stoughton kept driving. Middleton added a 36-yard run later in the drive and Frankie Morris converted a 4th and 3 run in the Foxborough red zone.
But the drive came to an abrupt end at the goal line when Aaron Mack fumbled as he was fighting to get into the end zone. Foxborough's Brendan Lovely recovered and the Warriors took over at their own 1-yard line with 1:13 left in the half.
After Slaby and Howard barely escaping being tackled in their own end zone, Foxborough faced a 3rd down from the 1-yard line. Joey Wilder flushed Slaby out of the pocket and Imani Pina tackled Slaby, forced a fumble, and later recovered it in the end zone for a Stoughton touchdown. The extra point gave Stoughton a 14-0 lead at the half.
Foxborough punted on its first drive of the second half, but Morris fumbled on Stoughton's first possession, giving the Warriors the ball at the Black Knight 31. Foxborough advanced to the 10, setting up a goal-to-go situation. On second down, Howard looked to be setting himself up to attempt a halfback pass, but Matthew Mack tackled him 14-yards behind the line of scrimmage.
With the ball now at the 24, Foxborough quarterback Nolan Rogers (who replaced an injured Slaby) threw incompletions on third and fourth down, with the Warriors turning the ball over on downs.
At the start of the fourth Stoughton still had a 14-0 lead, but once again, Foxborough was driving. Three Howard runs helped get Foxborough into Stoughton territory. But the drive stalled and Foxborough punted. On the ensuing Stoughton drive, quarterback Dan Eckler hit Middleton for a 67-yard touchdown pass on the first play. The extra point failed, but Stoughton took a 20-0 lead with 8:09 left in the game.
Needing three scores in 8 minutes, Foxborough advanced the ball to Stoughton's 10, but on a 3rd and 3 play, Pina came up with the interception. Stoughton got the ball back with 4:30 left and ran out the clock.
"Our defense really stepped up," captain Aaron Mack said. "Foxborough came in and they were supposed to have one of the high-powered offenses. Howard as their running back is one of the best in the Hockomock, but our team came through and our game plan - it worked tonight."
Middleton had 95 yards on the ground on just four carries. Morris had 81 yards, while Malachi Baugh added 35 and Aaron Mack added 13 rushing and 13 receiving.
"We came through this week with heavy hearts," Aaron Mack said. "Tonight was a big win for us - a big momentum builder. You can only build off this game because we had a lot of mistakes; I had a lot of mistakes personally...fumbles, missed tackles, but we can always take steps forward."
"This is a great win for our division but I don't want to stop there," Leonard said. "I want to win the Hockomock League, not just the Davenport."
Stoughton travels to North Attleboro (3-2) next Friday, while Foxborough hosts Attleboro (4-1) the same night.

In a week where the realities of life were put into such clear perspective for the team, school & community, my hats off to Coach Burke & the coaching staff for their heartfelt actions, words of support & encouragement in preparing their team this week & not just for football. Never have I seen a school & community rally around its kids like I witnessed this week.
No one can ever prepare for such a terrible tragedy at any age, no classmate should ever have to experience what they did, but with such an emotional & difficult week for the team & community, the true colors of Stoughton shown through led by the ultimate in dedication & leadership. To see everyone come together, keep it together & support each other as they did, is a true testament to the cohesiveness of the entire team, school & community. This was a week that the kids grew up sooner than they may have wanted & the leadership and support will forever be remembered during such terrible adversity. Thank you Coach Burke & staff for leading the team through its darkest moments, keeping them together & focused. They clearly had one agenda this week, to win it for David...they came through with flying colors & accomplished their goal brilliantly.

To the Wade family, this past week is proof that David touched everyone & will always be in our hearts and never forgotten. Our thoughts & prayers as you find peace & strength. To the football team, best of luck the rest of the way as you find your own peace & strength. Regardless of how the rest of the season unfolds & what the season may ultimately bring to the team, please know that you are true champions in our hearts & is what makes us proud to be living in Stoughton!

Digital TV in India is not limited to just clear picture quality anymore; the new Tata Sky adds a whole new meaning to it. It entered the Indian market with the aim of offering a completely new TV watching experience for the viewers in the country and managed to bring a revolution to the television and broadcasting industry.
Initially, it introduced users to better picture quality, and opposite to normal cable television, which raised the standard of Indian television just like in the western countries. But, now with the increasing competition in the market, the brand is offering a lot more than just quality picture. Tata Sky has several features that include recording, High Definition (HD) feature and much more. The brand offers different variants of digital TV like Tata Sky DTH, Tata Sky HD and Tata Sky Plus, which also vary in features, but allows subscribers to make a choice based on their budget and requirements.
As the government of India has recently made digitization of the television compulsory in the metro cities, it has resulted as a blessing for the private companies offering digital TV. Now, individuals prefer to choose private players in the market for their better services and competitive prices.
Today, Tata Sky is definitely one of the best options in the DTH market and leading due to its exceptional quality and unique features, despite of comparatively higher prices than some of its competitors. The brand has designed all its DTH plans after a detailed research on the subscribers' behavior and preferences when it comes to watching television. All the channels are very well segregated into different categories to suit various different customer profiles. This way it becomes easier to choose plans including channels of their choice, which benefit them in terms of money and entertainment.

This man won't cure your disease… he'll kill it. He'll kill it, spit it on a pike, and then parade it's lifeless body through the streets as a warning to any other diseases. He is Dr. Bad-ass. He is Capt. Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi, US Army.
I've posted about this topic (this guy in particular) before so this is really just an update. I have to say that when I first heard about the Sikhs wanting to serve but not wanting to shave their beards, trim their hair, or doff their turbans I was totally against it. After some rather pointed comments to that post and some research on my own (at the behest of one of those commentators) I changed my tune. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Sikhs are bad-asses. Any religion that requires you to learn their martial art, requires you to carry a dagger or a sword, and requires you to step in to defend the helpless is pretty damned alright by me. Plus, the Sikhs have been kicking ass for centuries… the men AND the women… mostly against their mortal enemies, The Moghul Empire. In case you didn't know it, the Moghul Empire was an imperial Islamic Caliphate that was spreading like wildfire throughout central Asia and Hindustan. That animosity between the two religions continues today.
But back tot he story at hand: The Army is granting an exception to it's uniform policy to allow this one guy to serve as a doctor and still retain his articles of faith…
NEW YORK — The U.S. Army will make an exception to a decades-old rule and allow a Sikh doctor to serve without removing his turban and cutting his hair, an advocacy group said Friday.
Capt. Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi is the first Sikh to be allowed to go on active duty with a turban, beard and unshorn hair in more than 20 years, according to the New York-based Sikh Coalition.
The decision does not overturn an Army policy from the 1980s that regulates the wearing of religious items, Acting Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Gina Farrisee wrote in a letter to Kalsi dated Thursday and posted online by the Sikh Coalition.
Instead, the Army's decision follows a long-standing practice of deciding such requests on a case-by-case basis, the letter said. Farrisee said the Army had weighed Kalsi's request against factors such as "unit cohesion, morale, discipline, safety and/or health."
I, for one, am glad that the Army made this exception. I'm generally not an "exception to policy" kind of guy, but if this guy wants to serve as a medical officer and he's willing to take all of the thankless crap that goes with along with being an Army doctor as well as the crap he'll probably catch for wearing a turban, good on him. More bad-asses in the Army that want to help out Joe AND have a long standing animosity toward Islamic Imperialism? Yeah, I'm good with that.

Robbie Deans's future could be on the line when Wallabies meet England at Twickenham
- The Daily Telegraph
- November 17, 2012
Robbie Deans has a favourite line of deflection when questioned about personal pressure.
"It's not about me," he says, usually with a nod.
This weekend at Twickenham, however, it might just be all about Robbie Deans.
Deans woke in London on Friday to newspaper headlines screaming David Campese wanted him sacked for burning Australia's attacking rugby traditions to the ground, and that the ex-Wallaby almost didn't want to beat England given that would prolong Deans' tenure.
It was Campo being Campo, but the disturbing thing is not that a former Wallaby would contemplate barracking for England in the hope of Deans being sacked. It's more that Campese isn't alone in his thinking.
This is the sad place Australian rugby has come to. And with the huge British and Irish Lions tour arriving next season, it can't continue.
Michael Hawker and the ARU board are now in a position where some sort of action is required - either in a public issuance of support for Deans, or terminating his contract a year early to appoint a new coach.
Increasingly the latter seems a possibility, and Campese's assessment could be spot on in a round-about way: Twickenham tomorrow looms as a defining day.
The peaks and troughs of Deans' five-year reign have been thoroughly debated, but should the Wallabies lose to England, one new factor could be a tipping point.
Should France also beat Argentina, the Wallabies would slide to fifth in the world rankings - the position they held when Deans took over in 2008. Defence of Deans over the years has often centred on the fact he not only took Australia to second but kept them there.
A second loss in Europe would pull out that particular Jenga block. A few Tests remain before rankings are locked down for 2015 Rugby World Cup seedings, but if Australia don't climb back into the top four it would give the ARU a reason to act.
After the Wallabies' win over Argentina and draw with New Zealand, Deans seemed to have dodged the executioner's axe. But one week in Paris changed everything.
It wasn't just that Deans' men lost by a near-record 27-point margin to the French, it was the way they lost. For so long a punchy and creative rugby nation, Australia were a pale shadow of their best - docile, unimaginative and playing like a team who'd lost their nerve.
Hawker has previously been a backer of Deans but comments from the ARU chairman in The Times this week might have given the coach pause for thought.
"Any coach is only as good as his last game, so every game is important for them," Hawker said. "Consistency is something we have to fix; the players know that, the coaches know that."
In Deans' defence, there is no doubt the Wallabies horror run of injuries has made life tough.
Sometimes, however, when a team is stuck deep in a rut, no amount of patience and positive talk will fix the problem. Only a new voice can cut through.
Watch the Wallabies take on England LIVE, 1.30am (EDT) Sunday on Fox Sports 3HD.

Troy of Townsville says November 17, 2012 at 9:39 AM
It time for a change at all levels, NSW has to much power in how the ARU travels, making the decision. Each state should have equal votes. Selection should be a reward for how you played during the season and how your team performed. Deans has made some improvements, the scrum. But also and more importantly has lost the Australian style, of flowing counter attack built on high levels of skill and solid defence. NSW are no longer the power force in Australian Rugby. Time for a major overhaul of the ARU.
Paul of Australia says November 17, 2012 at 10:08 AM
Time for a change the unknown nature of the wallabies and it's getting to a cringe factor of how the boot has dominated and tries are non existent. Traditionally the Wallabies are supposed to be the opposite. I could go on and on but it's time we changed now for us the fans, it's getting difficult to watch a game it's so bloody ugly.
Aaron of Brisbane says November 17, 2012 at 10:08 AM
Why do the journalists keep hailing the win against Argentina as some sort of achievement? That was a terrible, ugly game of rugby that the wallabies were lucky to win.
Hoss of Tah's Territory says November 17, 2012 at 10:45 AM
As a passionate but frustrated Wallabies fan it pains me to say it - but in the greater scheme of things , swing low sweet chariot......
Jason Milich of Whangarei - New Zealand says November 17, 2012 at 10:50 AM
Poor old Campo, your boys aren't that bad, its just that our Boys are Amazing (The All Blacks) A bit of a run down from a Kiwi Perspective. 1: You Drew in your last game vs the RWC2011, Bledisloe, Rugby Championship, Dave Gallaher Trophy . . . Ok I wont do all the trophys,(not enough space) THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD 2: You lost a shitty game vs Scotland 9-6 in atrocious conditions, which to be fair could have gone either way 3: you beat up and coming Argentina at home and away (not like Alf Stewart home and away) 4: You Beat the Box in Perth oh and then you got a Bit of a Hiding, but that was at Loftus, only the AB's win there 5: And there was that 22-0 vs the All Blacks 6: and you loose to France at home, probably, no actually one of the best teams on the Planet, when they want to be. So you aren't that bad, unless ofcourse you loose to England overnight, If that Happens, you are that bad. C Ya Dingo
Steve of Brisbane says November 17, 2012 at 11:24 AM
A test coach shouldn't have to teach grownups how to catch and pass, have a look at the players as well. Deans did very well with good rugby players but this team is like wannabe rock stars and show ponies, each trying to get the best toy in play pen.
Joffa says November 17, 2012 at 11:38 AM
Time to send Deans back to whence he came from!
Ben ofvPerth and Melbourne of Perth says November 17, 2012 at 11:47 AM
I think it is coming Troy. They have been having a governance review. How can NSW have 5 votes and ACT, WA and Vic who all have Super 15 teams only have 1. It is too Sydney centred. That's what killed the ARC, as we didn't have Sydney Uni and Eastwood as teams in the comp, and hence what has put Australia rugby back 5 or so years
macca of melb says November 17, 2012 at 11:47 AM
after the 07 world cup there were key retirements and Aus rugby wnent down hill. They havent had the talent pool to consistently win against top nations. Deans or no Deans the wallabies are not that good.

Dean is not the issue we have to get back to our grass roots and develop youth programs, this is why the western force is struggling with importing player from other states. ARU needs to invest more money on local club development programs have a close look AFL.
wallaby fan says November 17, 2012 at 12:09 PM
who will replace deans? the guy did give australian rugby will geina, david pocock and james o connor
kiwi fan of yandi says November 17, 2012 at 12:12 PM
I think the writing is clearly on the wall now dingo.. you and your wallabies would have to win by a whopping margin this weekend but most importantly in an exciting and expansive fashion.... yeah right..
McProperson says November 17, 2012 at 12:15 PM
@ comment 1 - You lost me at Deans has improved the scrum! Did you see the France game?
West side of West Side says November 17, 2012 at 3:26 PM
@wallaby fan - The Western Force gave the wallabies Pockok and O'Connor, not bloody Deans. How anyone can not see that Australian rugby has moved so far away from what made it a once great rugby nation beggars belief. We have never had the strongest scrum or the biggest and meanest forward pack, what we had was a team that ran and passed and were full of cunning and daring. We have been reduced to "pick and drive and McCabe up the middle". It has never worked - not in the RWC - not ever since, and yet, Deans with his pathological stubbornness continues to force our once proud Wallabies to play the same way. Its not the loss, but the manner of it - it's never what you do but the way you do it. For the first time in my life I will not be that unhappy if the Pommes win tonight. If you have a something gangrenous, you remove it to prevent further rotting. "Scoring tries isn't important", well now we see the result of that mindset and that second is good enough.
Bill says November 17, 2012 at 5:07 PM
Long time Wallabies fan, also happy for an England win just so we can cut out the cancer that is Deans. Hopefully the first and last time I'll ever have to stop supporting my own country
Mensta says November 17, 2012 at 5:10 PM
England to win. Deans will stay as coach because the ARU are not smart enough to realise change is needed.
Mark of Sydney says November 17, 2012 at 5:27 PM
Well. I dont think we will score a try against England. I do think the AAC coming back into the centres was the best thing thats happened so far. So, it will be another lesson tonight. Hate to say it but England by 12 or 15 points.
Chippo of out there says November 17, 2012 at 6:25 PM
Get off Robbie's case Campo & Co. let's see how you'd go with a third tier Wallaby team.. R.D has proven himself as a great coach... we need to now look at better player management to reduce injuries.
Bouche of Toowong says November 17, 2012 at 6:29 PM
I too Hope we lose tonight so Deans gets the chop. It should not matter that Deans has NEVER produced any consistency with this team. Scotland x2, Samoa, Ireland WRC, and more. The bloke is a joke and must go.

definitely another flogging , ever since the new signing of england, after the last world cup, theres been many changes making england a promising side for the next world cup
wallaby bob of brisbane says November 17, 2012 at 8:05 PM
I never thought I would see the day any Australian would admit to wanting England beat Australia at any thing, let alone Rugby. Campo should zip it, I remember the first World Cup, the semi against France. Enough said. Deans can't work miracles, he has to work with the players he has. We simply do not have a 5/8, or inside & outside centres , or fullback, or front row, that are Test standard. The only way to develop players with the required standard is to have them playing in a 2nd tier comp., Australia wide. Forget about your Randwick, Eastwood , University dinosaurs, create a new layer of rugby, give the players & coaches involved a reason to keep playing, and keep developing skills. Stop stealing players from Qld & NSW & develop local players, at the 2nd tier level. We are being left behind, because of old fashioned, blinkered , 19th century old school tie rubbish. Rugby is not the focus, and until it is, we can forget about any improvement . AND, I don't know about anyone else, I am sick of wannabe Aussies over here from the shakey isles putting the boot in. 'Bout time we kicked back
Dumbo!? says November 17, 2012 at 8:17 PM
I've been saying for well over 2 years that Dumbo Ditherer Deans must go. But he just keeps dodging the bullet. So who's fault is that? The monumentally stupid ARU obviously! Look I also hope that we lose tonight to the Poms but I'm really not sure that the idiots running the ARU will ever act. Even if we lose all 4 they will just continue to sit on their hands while all us Wallaby fans weep!
JC of Qld says November 17, 2012 at 9:11 PM
Aussie scrum will get smashed tonight. I've never seen a match where a team with a dominant scrum lost, so on that count, England will win. One of the readers mentioned Deans isn't responsible for teaching the players to catch and pass. A good coach brings the best out in his players, he is a facilitator of rugby. These blokes can catch and pass, they do so will a high degree of skill at club and provincial level and that is why they have been selected to represent their nation. If that basic skill suddenly deserts them, well who should carry the can for that? Deans has the worst win/lose record of a Wallaby coach in the past 60 years. The rubbish the team has been dishing up consistently over the past 12 months can't be glossed over any longer. The ARU has an obligation to the sport and must act in the best interests of the code. The few fans that are left are waiting.....
Jack Palm says November 17, 2012 at 11:06 PM
The best coach in the world cannot win without the cattle. The rival football codes are snaring the bulk of athletic cattle. Until rugby union connects with the full spectrum of society in Australia and therefore the athletes they are doomed to extinction. As one rugby union enthusiast said to me recently 'rugby league and AFL' are played by 'riff raff'. Game over.
Run Don"t Kick All the Time of Sunshine Coast says November 17, 2012 at 11:30 PM
Sorry, I've tried to give the guy the benefit of time but Deans has transformed the Wallabies into the most impotent, boring side in the world to watch. My son's Under 7s Coach has a better idea of how to put a winning game-plan together...and I'm not just saying that because she's my wife!

Global house prices : Location, location, location | The Economist
Avec une réalisation graphique très réussie, ça vaut vraiment le coup d'oeil. SImple et efficace.
THE house-price boom that preceded the financial crisis was remarkable for its scope and scale. With few exceptions, there seemed only one way for prices to go: up. Things have been more diverse since then. In The Economist's latest round-up of residential house prices, property markets are both reflecting and reinforcing the "three-speed" global economy. Prices are rising at a robust rate in developing countries like South Africa, where they are up by 11.1% over the past year. America's battered housing market is recovering with price gains of 9.3% in the past 12 months.

In college, you may eventually end up getting out of the dorms and living in an apartment. This is great, more space, no meal plan etc. Except one day you'll try and cook lunch and you'll find out just how sensitive the fire alarms are. Before you know it, you've created a national emergency and homeland security will swoop out of the sky and take you away. Or well, at least UPD will come and take your information and look around your apartment a bit, but it's still a hassle and your neighbors will probably be a bit mad at you for a while.
In college there occurs a magical time once a year at the end of May. When this time comes around, you will have been going hard for 15 straight weeks and even harder than normal the past two or three. Whether the five weeks off that preceded the semester wasn't long enough or classes are just more work in the spring, you always seem more exhausted by May than you do in December, and at this glorious moment in the year your summer begins.
Unfortunately, fun in the sun and a break from classes will soon give way to seemingly endless hours of work (or parents nagging at your lack thereof), disenchantment with your high school friends who you no longer have much in common with, and the overwhelming urge to go back to school and to friends who you probably like better than most of those which you had in High school.
And there will still be a month left before it's time to return.
In college, sometimes you'll have to do something known as a "group project". I put the quotes around the term as that's what it is called but never what it is. Inevitably, these projects end up not being a group effort and end up being a project of which a more appropriate title would be "One person does all the work while the others pull by with minimal effort project". Also, that one person who does all the work will almost always inevitably be you.
In college, you may want to take a class on video art. As much as you think you'll enjoy this class, you may often find yourself spending long hours in the library working. Not because it's especially hard or more time consuming than other forms of art, but because you'll be spending hours waiting for the video to render, and just as long trying to upload it to youtube or vimeo.
In college, I don't have time for wit, I finals to study for and projects to complete.
In college, there is a time that comes but once a semester but will effect you for at least one more and potentially the rest of your college career. This time is called registration. It's a time of much confusion as people scramble to capture time slots with wild creatures known as "Advisers" and then to scramble further to make sure everything goes just right so they can be guaranteed the classes they need to graduate on time and have the best semester possible while doing so. Almost as stressful as a final in the class you never went to because the teacher never took attendance, many younger students will find their plans derailed as every class closes in around them. Leaving two choices, putting off your classes until you can get in another semester, or going on an impossible missing that not even Tom Cruise would attempt and seeking out teachers to get IAC codes. And then after that, they'll find that because the school offers a weird amount of credits, they'll end up one credit over and will need to go through their stubborn adviser one last time to get their OAC before they can finally rest.
And don't worry, unlike a mission good ol' Tommy boy would take on, this message won't self destruct.
The Stood: n; The Stood, short for The Student Center (although Stude would seem a more appropriate shortening, but Os are easier to make with Christmas lights), Is a place where student's may go at night that serves various purposes. These include skateboarding and video gaming on free arcade games, but also may include copious amounts of drunk and/or drug addled students partaking in various parties/shows/general debauchery in the setting of a somewhat ugly worn down building that has been painted on every surface possible in some form or other. Despite it's worn down structure, the building may become a home away from home for the downtrodden or more likely, the people who are simply addicted to Hydro thunder.

Manny at 80 percent can beat Timothy–Donaire
By Roy LuarcaPhilippine Daily Inquirer
LAS VEGAS—Manny Pacquiao need not be perfect to beat Timothy Bradley.
Nonito "Filipino Flash" Donaire made this assessment Thursday during a dinner tendered in his honor by Top Rank chief Bob Arum.
"Manny has always been at the top of his game, but even at 80 percent, it would be enough (for him to win)," Donaire told Filipino sportswriters.
He said Pacquiao's speed and power, coupled with his experience, would overwhelm Bradley, whom he described as "youth and roughness" endowed with a big head.
"He's not afraid to bang heads; it's his style ever since," added Donaire, who grew up with and trained alongside Bradley during their amateur days in California. "He works hard."
The WBO super bantamweight champion Donaire is scheduled to fight IBF counterpart Jeffrey Mathebula in a unification bout on July 7 in Carson, California.
Donaire—also the former WBC and WBO bantamweight, WBA interim super flyweight and IBF flyweight champion—said his training schedule might prevent him from watching Pacquiao-Bradley on Saturday.
He is working double time to prepare for Mathebula after the bout that was originally slated July 30 was moved forward by 23 days.
"Good luck to Manny," said Donaire, who will be treading unfamiliar territory when he battles Mathebula.
The 5-foot-6 Donaire said this will be the first time that he will fight a taller foe. Mathebula is 5-10.
"This will be a new challenge, fighting as the smaller guy against a talented opponent," said the Filipino Flash.
Donaire, ranked anywhere from No. 4 to No. 6 in the pound-for-pound list, described Mathebula as a "little awkward."
Mathebula, a South African, has the same style as Panamanian Celestino Caballero, the former undisputed super bantamweight champion, according to Donaire, whose weight hovers at 135 pounds and should have no trouble making the 122 lb limit.

What Happens When Plastic is Recycled?
Do you every wonder what happens to all that plastic once it leaves the recycling bin on your curb? It gets recycled and marketed to bottle and plastic product makers, but a lot happens in between.
When plastic arrives at a recycling facility, it's first sorted by type. Then it's pushed into a machine that smashes it all together into a cube. Last, it's banded up and put on a trailer to ship off to market. Learn where that recycled plastic ends up by watching this video.
Western Disposal believes that knowing about the recycling process and its significance is more important now than ever. If you're looking for a waste disposal service that shares your values, call us at (303) 586-1100 today.

Bone spur surgery in the spine is one of the potential treatment options for people suffering from common excess bone growths, also known as osteophytes. Bone spurs in the neck or back can be caused by a number of factors, including aging, arthritis, disc degeneration, traumatic injury, poor posture, overuse, and more. While bone spurs by themselves are not harmful and can occur in many places in the body, spurs have the potential to be problematic, particularly spine bone spurs. That's because bone spurs anywhere on the spinal column can possibly impinge on a nerve or another bone, which can lead to intense neck or back pain and other negative side effects, such as weakness in the extremities, numbness, restricted movement, radiating arm and leg pain, and in some cases, disability.
If osteophytes have grown to the point where they are causing you pain or other problems, there are a number of bone spur treatment options your physician may recommend. Some are as basic as rest, weight loss, exercise, physical therapy, cortisone injections, or medications, such as anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxers, and pain relievers. In some cases, however, bone spur surgery is a potential option. Laser Spine Institute is proud to offer our patients with the most advanced endoscopic procedures available for dealing with this issue:
- Foraminotomy – This procedure is designed to reduce pressure on nerves that are being compressed by the intervertebral foramen, the area in the vertebra where a nerve root leaves the spinal cord. Bone spurs can be a possible cause of this pressure, and foraminotomy can enlarge the passage through which the nerve exits the spinal cord.
- Laminotomy – This procedure increases the amount of space available for the neural tissue, releasing the nerve(s) and relieving pressure the spinal cord and/or spinal nerve root.
Traditionally, bone spur surgery options have been invasive, open back procedures that have often left patients with potentially lengthy, painful recovery processes and higher infection rates; however, the innovative, minimally invasive procedures performed at Laser Spine Institute – including bone spur surgery treatments such as foraminotomy and laminotomy – can often provide relief from neck or back pain quickly, without as long of a recuperation period or risk of infection. Our outpatient procedures result in minimal scar tissue formation and have a very high success rate. For a complimentary MRI or CT scan review, or to learn more about our state-of-the-art bone spur surgery procedures, surgical centers, and streamlined patient experience, contact us today.

New Mumford And Sons: 'Beneath My Feet' / 'Lover's Eyes'
April 17th, 2011 • Comment
Tags: Beneath My Feet, Coachella, Glassnote, Island Records, Lover's Eyes, Marcus Mumford, Mumford And Sons, Sigh No More
The new Mumford And Sons LP (due out at the tail end of 2011) seems to be shaping up nicely, with a good number of tracks not present on their debut now included in the band's live set, and circulating in various formats online.
The latest of these, 'Beneath My Feet' and 'Lover's Eyes' (see also: 'Lover Of The Light', 'Whispers In The Dark') sound emboldened, beefed up and geared towards the biggest of stages – presumably where they'll be performing the new efforts from once studio versions are released into the world. They also represent a sizable step forward from the relatively simplistic arrangements of Sigh No More, and a highly impressive quality control button – it seems this is a band who simply don't do duff tracks, a trait which will stand them in good stead once the inevitable backlash occurs.
In lieu of proper recorded versions to listen to, check out these live bootlegs, which should still send shivers down your spine:
Mumford And Sons: then and now
October 10th, 2010 • Comment
Tags: Ben Lovett, COMMUNION, Country Winston, Gentleman Of The Road, Hammersmith Apollo, Island Records, LAISSEZ FAIRE CLUB, Little Lion Man, Marcus Mumford, Mumford And Sons, Review, Roll Away Your Stone, Sigh No More, Ted Dwane
Laissez Faire Club checked out Mumford And Sons' second sold out date at Hammersmith Apollo last night (Saturday), which marked the end of their final UK tour in promotion of their million-selling debut album Sigh No More. It was also effectively a prelude to yet another sold out USA tour – thier final Stateside jaunt for this LP too – which kicks off in LA in just over a week's time, and concludes with two dates at New York's Terminal 5 in mid November.
At the risk of going all hyperbolic, it was a truly wonderful evening, which brought a real smile to the face, and a spring to the step. I've been to some great gigs in my almost-10-year gigging career – The Strokes at Brixton Academy '02, Interpol at The ICA '04, Arcade Fire at Birmingham Academy '05, Arctic Monkeys at Reading Festival '05 – and this ranks up there as one of the best. It was really that good.
Roll Away Your Stone @ Hammersmith Apollo, 9.10.10:
The tracks off the album received a mightily enthusiastic, impassioned airing, with all the band members seemingly having the time of their lives, and appearing to be truly humbled at the heady position they now find themselves in. The four singles – Roll Away Your Stone, Winter Winds, Little Lion Man and The Cave, alongside lesser known tracks like Awake My Soul and Dust Dowl Dance, sounded beefed up and familiar in the best way possible – like songs we've been listening to all our lives. Those hair-raising moments where songs are sung back to bands by adoring fans in a word perfect manner were ever present.
Of the four new ones, there are at least two veritable smashes-in-waiting (Lover Of The Light, Whispers In The Dark) – both of these see the band move into anthemic indie territory, whilst not forgetting their harmonious, folky roots, and you get the feeling recorded versions could see them make the step up to the very top come album number two.
Perhaps the most memorable moment of the evening, however, was the entirely acoustic version of early recording Sister, which saw the band move away from all 'technology' to the front of the stage for three or four totally organic minutes. Save for a couple of rowdy, over-excitable idiots in the crowd – inevitable, when you get to a certain level – it was spellbinding. And that's not to mention a special guest appearance from Ray Davies (yes, Ray Davies) who was invited on-stage to perform a collaborative version of Days. The quality was relentless.
Roll Away Your Stone @ The Old Blue Last, 24.10.07:
I've been lucky enough to have closely charted the rise of this West London quartet, booking them for Laissez Faire Club's first birthday party (Marcus Mumford and band) in late 2007, and also to have been in attendance at most of their gigs on the way up (Notting Hill Arts Club, The Borderline, Dingwalls, Scala included). Seeing a band who LFC has worked with, even in a tiny capacity, progress at such a rapid rate is pretty special, and I very much doubt it'll stop here either.
I've trawled through the LFC archives, and have managed to dredge up my MySpace correspondence with Marcus Mumford from three years ago, where I floated the idea of him coming to play the first birthday gig, as an acoustic opening act. What you'll see is a humble response from an aspiring singer-songwriter who's truly grateful for a chance to play some live songs. You get the feeling not a great deal has changed. All cliches aside, it really couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys.

Hi there,
My name is Jeremy Lloyd and I run a night in London called Laissez Faire – see page for all info.
Really like your stuff and was wondering if you'd be interested in playing at The Old Blue Last on Wednesday 24 October? It's the first birthday of the night, so aiming to make it quite an event.
So far confirmed are The Scoundrels and Del Nil. A headliner will be announced soon. You'd be first on opening the night.
Let me know what you think!
Many thanks,

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for the email mate, i'd love to play the 24th! Can i bring the band? Because i don't have management or anything i'm afraid i have to ask the awkward questions myself, but what is the pay for that evening?
Let me know details and i'll put it up on the myspace and get to work promoting it and that..

Hey Marcus,
Thanks for getting back to me. Great news about the 24th, if you could bring the band that'd be great.
Payment wise, I can offer £40 – hope this is OK.
As for details, it'll be 3-4 bands on the bill (dependent on whether the potential headliner gets back to me). The other confirmed acts are The Scoundrels and Del Nil, both in my top friends.
Your set will be for up to 30 mins.
Any more questions, just shout.
Looking forward to it…

The raspberries gave the apples a lovely colour in the finished pie. I would probably cut own the amount of sugar just a little but I guess that depends on the tartness of the apples in the first place. Before putting the pie in the oven I wet the pastry top with just a little water and sprinkled sugar over the top for a nice finish. Definitely a winner.

I have used black berries with apples too. That is wonderful. Yummy. It takes the tartness out of the berries.

Obama Pushes Payroll Tax Cut
President Obama is ramping up his campaign for continuation of a payroll tax cut, which only affects the first $106,000 in individual income. Republicans object, in part because they don't even consider it a tax since the money goes to the Social Security Trust Fund. Democrats see it a progressive tax cut. "Spreading the wealth" is a theme Obama campaigned on four years ago.
