Given that housing prices and rents in California far exceed what is affordable to the average working family, a disproportionate number of California families experience housing instability. Housing instability hits children particularly hard, and can significantly affect their ability to engage at school or even their ability to attend school regularly.
We know that when children have a stable living environment they have reduced stress, better opportunities to learn and grow, and higher levels of literacy and academic achievement. Right now there is some incredible and groundbreaking work being done in affordable housing communities to deliver a range of vital supports to residents, including tutoring and learning enrichment programs for the children who call these communities home.
The after-school and summer learning programs administered in these communities give children and youth critical help they might not receive anywhere else, and dramatically increase their potential for bridging the achievement gap and succeeding in school.
After-school and summer programs, also known as expanded learning programs, provide a safe learning environment for students once they've left the classroom. The accumulating research continues to prove that expanded learning opportunities are essential to student success. Increasing the availability and quality of expanded learning opportunities within affordable housing communities helps provide low-income students with the solutions we know work to increase academic achievement, develop positive attitudes towards learning, and master the skills they need to succeed in life.
It is critical that these programs have quality content and educators, but it is just as critical that they are accessible to those who need them the most. The challenges many low-income students and their families face living in housing communities – lack of access to reliable transportation, safety concerns and a shortage of affordable childcare options (often resulting in older siblings staying close to home to care for younger siblings), can prevent many students from attending after-school or summer programs held at schools or community centers outside of their housing community. Because of their close proximity to homes, housing-based programs not only bring learning to these families' doorsteps, they also lead to enhanced family engagement and higher participation rates. Program staff have the advantage of being close to the families of their students, often with first-hand knowledge of the particular challenges these families can face, allowing them to respond quickly and accurately.
But while we need more affordable housing communities to create and improve these programs for their youngest residents, we also need more affordable housing communities, period. As it stands now, there is a considerable shortage of affordable housing in California with more than 2 million children living in poverty. SB 391, supported by Housing California, the California Housing Consortium (CHC) and youth advocacy groups such as the Partnership for Children & Youth, can provide a permanent funding source to develop, purchase and preserve safe and affordable homes for low and moderate-income households. Every child needs and deserves a safe place to call home. These on-site expanded learning programs cannot exist without the sites themselves.
We know these programs are key to linking community development efforts and schools. As legislators, educators and advocacy groups come out in support of the extraordinary impact after-school and summer learning programs have on the lives of our students, the programs and services offered in affordable housing communities and the need for more affordable housing in which to offer these programs must not be ignored. Bringing these programs close to home – giving them a home – gives children and youth the advantage they need. It's time we meet students in their own backyard.
Senator Mark DeSaulnier serves as chair of the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee and is the author of SB 391. Jennifer Peck is the Executive Director for Partnership for Children & Youth.

Does citizenship effect access to these programs?
"Right now there is some incredible and groundbreaking work being done in affordable housing communities to deliver a range of vital supports to residents, including tutoring and learning enrichment programs for the children who call these communities home"
Translation: Affordable Housing = Taxpayer Subsidized Housing. Tuturing and Learning Enrichment Programs = Taxpayer Subsidized Parenting.
Results: The same as always. Can't seem to change the achievement gap…
"After-school and summer programs, also known as expanded learning programs, provide a safe learning environment for students once they've left the classroom."
Translation: Taxpayer subsidized after school babysitting. I wonder how many of these families also collect CALWORKS money as well…
"But while we need more affordable housing communities to create and improve these programs for their youngest residents, we also need more affordable housing communities, period. As it stands now, there is a considerable shortage of affordable housing in California with more than 2 million children living in poverty."
Don't have kids, you can't afford to feed. Do away with the multitude of Government programs that reward child birth to people that have lived off've the system for generations, with dismal results.

Translation: And now we've got to buy them houses too??? So… who pays for this?
"Every child needs and deserves a safe place to call home." That is not a premise of government. That is up to the parents and the community. Who is responsible for the high crime rate? The high out-of-wedlock birthrate? That must be the taxpayers fault. Let's fleece them some more, to support an ever-increasing burden, of a fast growing poverty-ridden population, that increasingly relies on Big Government solutions, that always fail.
"Bringing these programs close to home – giving them a home – gives children and youth the advantage they need. It's time we meet students in their own backyard."
Listen, Senator Desalnier, why don't YOU buy them a home, with your own personal money, if you feel that strongly about it.
"Don't have kids, you can't afford to feed."
So is that your solution?
I hate to say it but poor people are largely so because their parenting is bad, so that's really what they are missing. So I am for Taxpayer Subsidized Parenting, if it has results. What I don't want is to spend all this money and have it just be seen as status quo, unionized pre-school teachers, nothing changes, no one is surprised. I'm for the spending on tutors, if you really teach kids to study 15-30 hours a week and turn off the TV and most important, not be like their parents. Any alternative influence to terrible parents is a good thing and worth the money. Taxpayer subsidized housing, no, if you divorce, drop out, you should live in a slum, there should be a cost, but we should teach kids to not repeat their parents' mistakes and collect child support.
As for the number of kids, soon our birth rate will be too low, already happened in Europe and Japan. We need to have more deductions for children and tax the childless more to pay for helping kids. We need children, and we need them to become good.
Yep! Don't rely on the government to support you for generation upon generation. There is this concept called "Personal Responsibility". My ex-wife after we were divorced, rented out to a Section 8 family and I've lived next door to them numerous times, so I know all about them and how they operate.
There is no longer a stigma to being dependent on the government. In fact, it's now called an "entitlement" and the WIC, CALWORKS and Section 8 recipients are now called "clients". There's no need to strive to work out of 'poverty', because the Government guarantees a $52K a year salary, to a non-working, unmarried mother of two. ($36K in CALWORKS Benefits and Section 8 combined).
The portion of the population on Food Stamps is at an all time high. Add to the fact that Technology, offshoring, NAFTA and a whole host of job-killing programs and regulations, have permanently eliminated many of the jobs for the 'less-than-genius' crowd, means that we don't need a huge lower class to reproduce as heartily as they do.
When everybody is on the dole, just who is going to pay for the ever-increasing reach of Government? The shrinking taxpayer base? Selling municipal bonds (Does Detroit, Puerto Rico and Chicago ring a bell?).
How do you enforce it?
I've given careful thought to this, believe it or not. I propose an eighteen year plan. Starting next year, the Government, will only pay FOR YOUR MISTAKE ONCE. Yep, you can have ONE baby on my dime. The next two or three or whatever, you PAY for.
If you think about it, it's really about supply and demand. When you have a huge supply of an imported illiterate, non-english, non-assimilating population, that is well-suited for the 'service economy' but little else, yet take far more in Goverment (read; Taxpayer) benefits, including Education at $13K LAUSD per year, per child, then they pay (or what little they pay) in taxes, you have a problem.
The huge supply of this low side Labor, is a huge disadvantage, to those very people, because the demand is not there. So that makes them a cheap commodity, does it not? My formula for Wages would go like this and it's simple math, that even a common core Teacher or Student would understand.
Wages = Supply, that huge population (10) + Demand, the increasingly limited number of jobs (-20).
If you don't believe me, Google has a newspaper archive and go look at any large city newspaper in the late 60′s and peruse the want ads. There were page, after page for job openings, spanning a dozen pages or more. Now? A page or so.
As an example, what effects do you think the Barcode and Barcode readers had on the retail market? When I was growing up, the checker had to enter, each and every price on a mechanical cash register and every item was individually priced with a price tag. And with that, a whole lot of jobs, simply went 'poof'! And that's just one example!
So if there were less poverty-ridden people competing for an increasingly decreasing job market, wouldn't that benefit the 'supply-demand' equation? Less of them, would make the few, more valuable.
Although I come from the technology world I am also a Luddite. The reason I'm a Luddite is that I recognize the limits of technology when viewed in human terms or priorities.
Your argument implies that technology will eventually make humans extinct. While that's actually probably the most likely scenario, I don't think anyone thought it would come as a result of labor market supply and demand dynamics.
Let's just say that I believe that it's wrong to prioritize the value of technology over the value of humans (as important as technology is). If we end up modifying our values as a response to a manufactured world of economics then I'd say we've gotten lost.
I won't deny that there is a supply and demand force within the labor market, but I also think we need to keep some perspective and remember why it is that we actually exist.
OK, allow me to add some thoughts.
I don't value technology over humans, but obviously, with such an incredible supply of humans everywhere and in such huge amounts, their value diminishes. Look at any bumper sticker on an LA County or City of Los Angeles vehicle, imploring mothers to drop off their babies at any fire department. What it really means is: "Don't throw your baby away, bring it to us and we'll put it with the rest of them in the Foster Care system" (another black hole of Taxpayer money). The Common Sense thing, would be to NOT have the baby at all. Problem solved! The taxpayer is not going to be on the hook for Foster Care, education, incarceration, etc, etc. You ain't going to get apples out of an onion field, that's for sure.
The City of Los Angeles released a report recently, that I'm sure you saw, that outlined the major problems the City is having, with overcrowding and poverty. This is a world wide problem as well. My take is, that we don't need that many humans overrunning the planet with a vastly unlimited population potential and it is the poverty stricken, that reproduce the most.
Less people would mean less of a strain on our resources. Look at our water situation. Do you really think that Southern California can sustain an endless population growth? The ongoing fight over the Colorado River water rights is another example, as other states with increasing populations, fight for more water.
Why do we exist? I certainly don't exist to give my paycheck happily away to a huge population that is highly service intensive, that's for sure. Two thirds of LA County's Budget is spent on maintaining the Poor population in Los Angeles. Between 23% to 27% is spent on three major categories: Social Services, Health Care and Police and Fire Protection.
Do we really need any more poor people? I don't think so. And we don't need the ever-expanding, Government, to get any bigger, but it never seems to stop. Too many of them are gaming the system. When the Federal Shutdown happened, Jerry Brown was worried about the Federal money coming in for Food Stamps and he quouted a state-wide figure of $645 MILLION DOLLARS A MONTH!!!
That's a lot of frigging money and that's just for Food Stamps! Imagine what all the other "Entitlement" Programs add to! That's money that either comes from the Taxpayer (the top 15% in California, pay 85% of the taxes, the rest, hardly nothing), selling Muni Bonds in an soon-to-be increasingly hostile environment towards muni-bonds, or it's printed by the Fed, feeding it's own debt and passing it on.
That money could be kept by a responsible populace with a minimal amount to maintain the infrastructure and for the common defense of this country. Government was never intended to be the backstop to every living soul on the planet.
Dont disagree that the situation exists. Probably disagree on the causes.
Ironically, if the rich want to get richer, seems the best way to do that would be to increase entitlements. Since the argument goes that those cause people to want to be poor, it will do a good job of increasing the income gap.
Anyway, we've had this discussion before. Providing food and shelter are not really options in most areas of this country. Especially in cities that have become so dense and large as to make unassisted access to food and water essentially impossible.
Regis, why do we ignore that our system creates so many poor people? Do you think there is something inherently wrong with the model? Or is it just that those pesky poor people refuse to play along?
Lessee… Looking at the LA County Budget as a Finance Analyst…
Public Social Services: $3,528,037,000 or 3 1/2 Billion Dollars a year!
Public Social Services ADMINISTRATION: $1,692,487,000 a year or nearly $1.7 Billion Dollars a year, to 'run this and pass out checks'.
Child and Family Support Services: $1,843,534,000 or 1.8 Billion Dollars a year!
Foster Care DCFS: $500,049,000 or half a billion Dollars a year!
Public Health Programs: $286,747,000 million dollars or over a 1/4 billion dollars a year. Salaries and Employee Benefits $301,760,000 and add it up, to bring it to over a half billion dollars.
Sheriff (not counting the LAPD): $1,481,775,000 or nearly 1 1/2 billion dollars!
LAUSD: They're already running a deficit, go figure. $6,000,000,000 or $6 Billion dollars a year. With the majority of the students at a "Poverty Level"… Because their parents are at a poverty level and don't pay any or little taxes, but expect a wide range of services.
CA GDP: almost $2 Trillion. Yes, per year.
Q: Regis, why do we ignore that our system creates so many poor people? Do you think there is something inherently wrong with the model? Or is it just that those pesky poor people refuse to play along?
A: It's the Cloward-Piven strategy of the "Weight of the Poor". The poor nearly almost always vote Democrat, because that's who feeds em, breeds them and keeps them in power. The more poor babies pop out, the more Democratic voters the System gets. It works, till the Government runs out of money. The Government wants to keep those people on the dole. They are on the Government plantation and knoweth not, the chains that bind them to poverty.
They're led to believe that it's everybody elses fault and accept little if any responsibility for their actions or lifestyles or the amount of kids they pop out so generously on our dime. Entitlements have become a way of life for a very large part of the population, as evidenced by the output of Taxpayer money to them. That's money that the Taxpayer could spend on goods, that would stimulate business's, that if the regulatory environment weren't so sucky, would hire people to work.
We use to have nearly a half dozen automobile plants in California and now we have none. Now we have a bunch of Community Organizers, dragging the poor and the ignorant to SCAQMD and Council meetings to bitch about the Vernon Battery Recycling plant, the Refineries, the Railroads, the trucks on the freeway. Hey, I grew up down there, right by the Brew 102 plant and also, by Echo Park and McArthur Park by Belmont High and you didn't hear my parents whining about nose bleeds and sickness. Pretty soon, the only thing we'll have for business's is the taco cart on the sidewalk.
You're poor, you live in a poor neighborhood. Too bad, industry has to exist somewhere. Tough luck and do something about it. Improve yourself, learn the language, assimilate and educate yourself and you might just go somewhere. Worked for me. Nobody gave me nothing. I worked my butt off to get where I'm at, thank you.
CA GDP: almost $2 Trillion. Yes, per year. I won't deny that, but adding up the costs of maintaining a poor population in LA County alone and then multiplying that by the many counties, I'd bet, that would put a big dent in that number.
Do farm and corporate subsidies count?
The reason we've lost jobs is not because we have too many poor people, in fact, ironically probably just the opposite. Our workers are not poor enough to be worth hiring by our companies.
It's possible Regis is missing a bet here. A perceptive capitalist, Ayn Rand fanboy, and obsessive believer in the power of markets would not fail to see the children of the poor as the potential resource they are. Obviously, it's time to reread Jonathan Swifts"A Modest Proposal."
Navigio, we've discussed the subsidies and I highly disagree with any kind of subsidy period. Having said that, at least we get something useful out of the Farm and Corporations, like Produce, Livestock, Products and yes, some jobs. What do we get out of subsidizing the poor population? A lot of crime, poverty and miserable circumstances.
I'll agree with you on the globalization as well, but I believe, that even if you brought the jobs back, there still would be an imbalance of that ratio we've just discussed. I'd like to see tariff's and profits come back to our shores. Technology is here and there needs to be reasonable limits on the human population to support that.
Believe me, I'm not a Republican either. The left and the right are just two wings on the same bird.
Finally, I think excessive Government interference in Social affairs, doesn't allow the best and the brightest to rise above their circumstance, through hard work and dedication, but instead allows the lazy, the indolent and the indigent to produce an ever-increasing low IQ population that votes for their best interests: being on the dole, or some kind of Government Subsidy forever and ever and ever.
Have you ever seen our Government run anything that wasn't filled with abuse, huge amounts of waste and inefficiency? The School Systems are a classic example of this.
PS: Thanks for the responses, it was highly interesting debating with you, as always but it is the end of my day and I must go.
Gary, Allow me to answer your response. I certainly am not a believer in the 'markets' as they exist now, because the entire Wall Street complex, is an excellent example of Cronyism at it's best. It is not a 'free market', as you have a huge amount of Federal interference in the form of QE that is artificially supporting a very 'Casino' like environment. Wall Street owns Washington and that is wrong, wrong, wrong. And what does Wall Street produce of any value? Goods? Services? Anything? It sure sloshes a lot of money around and the foam gets skimmed off at the top, to the benefits of a few.
The Federal Reserve has been enrichening the infamous 1% in the form of not only QE, but POMO's, paying banks for excess reserves, and on and on and I'm a firm believer in killing off this organization as it is really a very large theft against the American people.
As far as a potential resource of the poor children, I tire of the "It's for the Children" mantra that has become a political weapon to quell any dissent to a Socialist policy that has been in place for half a Century. LBJ's Great Society program, in my opinion has been an excellent example of what excessive Government interference can do. Has it reduced the poverty or out-of-wedlock births that are now a staple of much of the down-and-trodden? Not one iota, but has only increased it.
One should be alarmed at the ever-expanding size of Government and it's debt. Our forefathers warned us, wisely of this circumstance and what it could bring about and we are now seeing it. When the media reports that the Government Shutdown, reduced our GDP by 4% to 5%, that is worrisome!
I will take a look at Jonathan Swift's book "A Modest Proposal". I'd like to see, just how 'modest' it is and how much it will cost me, the taxpayer.
Thank You.

Bahrain launches massive project to protect reefs
Manama, July 30, 2008
Bahrain has launched a major project to protect its coral reefs from damage caused by boat anchors.
It is now piloting an initiative that involves installing mooring buoys above reefs, which fishing boats can then dock with.
The Public Commission for the Protection of Marine Resources, Environment and Wildlife has brought in experts from Kuwait as part of the initiative, which aims to combat harmful fishing practices.
A 10-day pilot scheme has already been carried out in Hayr Bulthama, around seven nautical miles north of Bahrain's mainland, and if successful could be expanded to all other reefs.
It involved installing several mooring buoys above coral reefs in protected areas, which fishing dhows and others vessels can hook onto instead of dropping anchor.
Officials said anchoring on or near coral reefs could cause substantial damage - both to the reef and wildlife that depends on them.
The project began after Public Commission president Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa invited a team from the Senyar organisation, made up of divers from the Kuwait Society for the Protection of the Marine Environment, to share their expertise.
Senyar has extensive experience in installing such systems and launched a national campaign to preserve the marine environment after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1991, which led to many oil spills along its coast.
Commission public relations manager Zakariya Khonji said the project was vital to safeguard the country's remaining marine resources.
'Coral reefs take a long time to develop, maybe 100 years to grow only a few centimetres,' he told the GDN during a Press conference at the Commission's office, Juffair.
'When fishermen throw their anchor in the sea it sometimes lands on coral reefs and damages them.
'Now, when they are working in the Hayr Bulthama area, they will be able to tie their boats to the buoys and won't need to throw their anchor in the sea.'
Public Commission fisheries resources director Anwar Mansoor Al Hariri added the initiative was part of plans to clean up Bahrain's marine environment.
However, he said no budget or timeline had yet been finalised for the scheme.-TradeArabia News Service

Australian Job Market - BIASED????????Saying goes that there is massive shortage of accountants in Australia. However, many of my Chartered Accountant friends who moved there have not got job still. What could be the reasons??? Is Australian job market BIASED??????
Asked By: empty - 9/9/2006

The government is not following the peoples wishes and is just lying its arse off. We cant get jobs ourselves and yet the government is looking for people overseas to fill our job vacancies.

It's possible. I think it depends on what country they are coming from.There is an under current of racism in Australia that we don't seem to talk about or acknowledge.

Jim Carrey plays a more dramatic role in this movie about a con man who runs afoul of the law and ends up in prison where he meets his true love, Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor).
This is based on a true story and has a good script.
I was hoping for a bit more comedy in the movie and was a bit disappointed by the lack of laughs.
The movie also stars: Leslie Mann as Debbie, Rodrigo Santoro as Jimmy, Antoni Corone as Lindholm, Brennan Brown as Larry Birkheim and Michael Mandel as Cleavon.
The movie contains graphic sexual scenes and is about the love affairs between a gay man and his partners, if that offends you then you should pass on this.
Jim Carrey plays Steve, a loveable cad and con man in this film. He "decides" to be gay (actually decides to come out) and sets off on a series of felonious misadventures, beginning with insurance fraud, to finance his extravagant lifestyle. On one trip to prison he meets Phillip, played very sweetly by Ewan MacGregor, and falls madly in love. As twisted as the story sounds, the love between these two men shines through. Great performances from the two actors, and-oh,yeah- it's based on a true story that took place in Texas during the George W Bush governorship!
me encanto es la tipica vida gay entre mas tienes mas quieres sin importarte como conseguirlo aparte de que jim carrey se desenvuelve muy bien en su papel de gay siendo inteligente muy fino y educado no deja su lado comico y romantico la verdad esta padre recomiendo aquien no es gay y quien lo es esta movie tiene que estar en su coleccion !!

A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Ecc 2:24-26
Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given him—for this is his lot. Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work—this is a gift of God.

Ecc 11:6
Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.

MARK – Mark is the second Gospel and it focuses on the actions of Jesus—who he was, his teachings, his work, and his miracles. Mark begins by showing that the predictions made hundreds of years earlier by the prophet Isaiah were fulfilled were by Jesus. Jesus' teachings are as true today as they were in biblical times.
LUKE – Luke presents the most exhaustive account of Jesus life and death of the four Gospels. Luke was a doctor and an educated man. He was an intellectual who examined Jesus' life. A unique feature of the Book of Luke is that it includes many accounts of the women who were a part of Jesus' life and who interacted with him. Luke affirms the dual aspects of Jesus human and divine nature. Jesus teaches that he is the only way that anyone can go to Heaven—no one can earn their way into Heaven.
JOHN – John consists of material that mostly is unique from the other Gospels. John focuses on conclusively showing that Jesus is the Son of God, and the only way to eternal salvation.

Andy James Court -
Andy James Court invites you all to experience 'Remember', his current CD compilation of Inspirational Gospel-Pop songs, that see us journey with him, as he reflects on his relationship with God.
These songs will take you down memory lane to when Andy first connected with God.
They talk about the things that have brought him closer to God, as well as those that have pulled him away.
They reveal his relationship as it was, as it is, and as it should be.
It's Andy's prayer that these musical compositions will not only be a source of joy to all that hear them, but that the songs will ignite a heart of worship, bringing people closer to God.
Andy goes by many titles: Singer, Songwriter, Producer, Husband, Daddy, Speaker, and Friend, however, it's his title as "Child of the most High God" that motivates Andy to fuse all these together and dedicate his life to one of spreading the Gospel through song and testimony.
Andy's love for music first began to sprout at the tender age of 5, when he'd sing harmonies in the back of the family car, whilst listening to reruns of 'Grandma's Feather Bed' by John Denver. By age 8, his enthusiasm grew for all things music, as he endeavoured to teach himself guitar. His musical journey had just begun, but he was yet to embark on his walk with the Lord.
Growing up in a Christian family, having to go to church every Sunday morning, and attending an all-boys Christian school, did not automatically make Andy James Court, a Christian.
Andy spent most of his early years knowing of God, but not knowing God.
In his early 20s, Andy almost lost his life whilst out surfing. He was slammed mercilessly by a massive 20-foot wave, that not only knocked the air right out of him, but also proceeded to repeatedly suck him underwater, on the "washing machine" ride of his life. In a battle to break to the surface and take a breath, Andy recalls inwardly crying out to God and making a promise, that should he be delivered from the fury of this unrelenting wave, he would dedicate his life to serving God.
An overwhelming burst of fresh air eventually filled Andy's aching lungs, as he lunged to the surface.
It would, however, take quite a number of years for Andy to recall this promise.
A supernatural encounter with the Living God, took this Perth boy's life through a complete and radical change, from one of drugs and alcohol, exploring New Age beliefs, and playing in rock bands, to a life dedicated to spreading the message of the Gospel through music. Andy regretted the fact that he'd wasted so many valuable years chasing after worldly things with no eternal value. It wasn't until he discovered the abundance of God's Grace, that regret quickly transformed into a hope for the future, and a drive to share his experience with others. " There were so many times my life could have ended abruptly, from drugs, motocross, car accidents, drowning, and the list goes on, but God had something else in store for me. He now uses my testimony to connect with others who are where I had been. He truly is a God of second chances."
Three Multi-award winning Gospel albums later, Andy's passion to tell the world about Jesus continues to burn brighter, as he sings about his journey with Christ during struggles, triumphs, heartache and joy. His musical style blends Contemporary Christian Pop, Black Gospel, Sounds of Africa and Inspirational Power Ballads.
Andy's ability to connect with audiences on an open and intimate level, his approachable and humorous character, and his message, that flows straight from the heart, help build a bond between him and those who attend his concerts.
Andy has taken his music to churches, schools, prisons, stadiums and festivals, and his concerts and performances have been warmly embraced, touching the lives of thousands.
Andy is also an active partner of Compassion Australia, journeying with them in the work that they do in releasing children from poverty. With four sponsor children of their own, Andy and his wife Sharon regularly encourage people to sponsor a child and make a difference.

DESCRIBE BOOZIENESS - What the Bible Says About Alcohol and Alcoholism
Alcoholics can't control their drinking. If you are an alcoholic, you have a compulsive desire to drink. When you drink, your negative personality traits, such as anger, may be intensified and your problems may seem magnified. In order to cover up your alcoholism, you may tend to overdo in other areas of your life.
Chances are, you need a drink at certain times of the day in order to get going, to face your problems, or to relax. And you may even drink on the job. Of course this means that your work and efficiency is slacking off. And your home life is probably suffering as well. You are enslaved by the sin of alcoholism.
Yet there is hope. God is able to deliver you completely by cleansing, sanctifying, and justifying you (I Corinthians 6:9-11). Though alcohol abuse is a failing of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21), the Holy Spirit can, and will, produce the self-control you needto overcome it (Galatians 5:22-23).
What Scripture Says
'He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.' (Proverbs 28:13).
'Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective' (James 5:16).
'If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness' (I John 1:8,9).
'Your wickedness will punish you. Your backsliding will rebuke you. Consider then and realize how evil and bitter it is for you when you forsake the Lord your God and have no awe of me' (Jeremiah 2:19).
'For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him' (John 3:17).
'Jesus answered her, 'If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked Him and He would have given you living water'' (John 4:10).
'But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth' (Acts 1:8). (Here is the key to beating alcoholism -- through the power to overcome.)
'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law' (Galatians 5:22, 23). (God will produce will power for the powerless.)
'Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit' (Ephesians 5:18).
'Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler: whoever is led astray by them is not wise' (Proverbs 20:1).
Is There Hope?
If you have a drinking problem, you have probably felt condemned by yourself and others. Rather than condemning, however, God emphasizes how to overcome by receiving salvation, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the fruit of the Spirit. With these you will have the ability to become free and stay free of alcohol.
The saying 'once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic' is based on the fact that a recovered alcoholic can never go back to drinking in any amount without being controlled by it again. Therefore, you need to ask God to deliver you from the desire to drink at all.
Practical Help
You probably have tried to stop drinking before and it has not worked for you. You may have tried religion or you may even be a Christian. What you need is practical spiritual help. Seek out a Spirit-baptized counselor. Ask him to pray for deliverance for you -- especially from compulsiveness, psychological and physical dependence, and even from the desire to drink.
You may have been told, 'You must stop drinking and never drink again.' But the pressure of having to face life without drinking may be overwhelming. Focus on the present. Decide that you will not have a drink right now. 'Live one day at a time. Each day has enough trouble of its own' (Matthew 6:34).
You need to modify and change your lifestyle. The Bible speaks of being transformed by the renewing of your mind' (Romans12:2). You can renew your mind through your reading and thinking habits. The Bible and devotion testimonial books will be most helpful. Dwell on God and His Word rather than on your problem.
Learn and follow the principle of praise (honor and respect) to God each time you are tempted to drink. 'Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise -- the fruit of lips that confess his name' (Hebrews 13:15). It is important to change your perspective from yourself to God, and from the drink to God. Praise God the Problem-solver rather than the problem. Remember that you can be just as chained to sin by trying not to do it as you are by doing it. As long as your attention is on the sin, you are honoring it. But if your attention is on God, you are honoring Him. 'Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith' (Hebrews 12:2).
Contact a Spirit-filled church, or prayer group, and Alcoholics Anonymous. Try a local church the pastor can help you do this.
You may have a spouse, relative, or friend who is not an alcoholic and wants to help you. He or she may need salvation, the baptism of the Spirit, and the fruit of the Spirit for their own sake. They can then better intercede for your deliverance from alcohol.
Your close relatives may need to know how to help spiritually in your effort to recover. They should know that openly condemning an alcoholic is not effective. It may just feed your sense of 'joyous agony' because you are 'getting what you deserve.' Jesus came to save, not to condemn (John 3:17).
That's not to say that they should tolerate your alcoholic behavior. Instead, they should offer to help you. Your spouse, friends, or relatives can find out how to help you by contacting a Spirit-filled fellowship, AA, or ALANON, an organization for friends and relatives of alcoholics.
As You Pray
If you are not yet a born-again Christian, ask God to forgive you, save you and fill you with the Holy Spirit. An unforgiven, unclean drunkard cannot inherit the Kingdom of God (I Corinthians 6:10; I John 1:8,9; Romans 10:13; Luke 13:5; Acts 1:8).
Pray for deliverance. Offer thanks and praise for God's deliverance, mercy, ever-present help and power to overcome.
Pray for deliverance from fear -- the fear that 'I won't be able to make it' (II Timothy 1:7).
If you want to experience God's abundant LIFE, pray this simple prayer with me:
Heavenly Father, I come to you in Jesus' name. I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the grave to give me life. I know You are the only way to God so now I want to quit disobeying You and start living for You. Please forgive me, change my life and show me how to know You. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Faith That Moves - There are only two people in the Bible that were said to have 'GREAT FAITH' by Jesus. One was the Centurian and the other was this woman. Both of them were Gentiles and probably considered not worthy of receiving anything from God because of it.
I] There were three obstacles facing this woman:
#1. Jesus was silent. Perhaps He wanted her to exercise her faith and put it into action. There are many times in our own lives when we ask God for a specific thing over and over and don't see any results. All we get is silence from God and we think that He is not listening. He may be putting our faith to the test!!!.
There are two types of faith; #1.The faith that says; I believe but doesn't move on what they believe. And on the other hand is;#2.'Great Faith', persistant faith, faith that will refuse to give up because of a word from God. Real faith is more than just saying that you have faith. It's moving on God's principles even though the odds may be against you. JAMES 2:18 SAYS; 'But someone may say, you have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works'.
#2. Another obstacle was the rejection from the disciples. Has someone ever rejected you? Don't let that become the obstacle between you and God. It just may be the difference between receiving your miracle or not. This woman was not going to let her opportunity pass her by. Even though the disciples asked Jesus to send her away she kept on coming.
#3. She was undeserving. She was a Gentile, a sinner and a woman, three strikes against her in Jewish society. When we come to God we too feel many times that we are undeserving and we are. But the blood of Jesus makes us clean and now when God looks at us, He sees His son. He sees us through His blood that was shed for us on that cross. Don't ever let anyone make you feel that you are not worthy!!
II] There was eight things about this woman that moved God into action;
#1. She was short and to the point. She didn't have time for the long religious prayer. She needed her miracle now!!!
Look at verse 22. 'HAVE MERCY ON ME SON OF DAVID, MY DAUGHTER HAS A DEMON'. Verse 25, 'HELP ME'.
#2. She was humble. Being humbe is a condition of the heart. 'HUMBLE YOURSELF IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD AND HE WILL LIFT YOU UP'.
#3. She was fervant(showing great emotion) It wasn't external emotionalism but it came from her innermost being and all of the sudden she became a worshipper of God, 'SHE CAME AND KNEELING, WORSHIPED HIM'(v.25).
#4. She was desperate. This word comes from the word despair. It's when a person is overcome by a sense of defeat.
Perhaps she had tried everything else and this was her only hope, like the lady with the issue of blood.
She had gone to the exorcist and he couldn't do anything; to the doctor and he couldn't do anything; to the sorceror and he couldn't do anything. And all of the sudden she found out that Jesus was in town and something inside of her jumped and gave her witness that this was her day!!!
#5. She was rational. She knew that Jesus could do it. She wasn't asking for something that was impossible. This wasn't a luxury, it was a necessity. Many times we don't get what we ask for because it's not really necessary.
#6. She was worshipful, respectful and acknowledged who Jesus was, look

Paul Hieser Music - P H M is Paul Hieser and Lance Kamin. The band is based in the Stateline area of Illinois and Wisconsin. With a deep desire to serve God through music, PHM performs songs about the love and power of Christ, relationships and the world we live in.
A little about Paul Hieser (pronounced 'high-sir'):
'I started writing music 1 year after I received my first guitar. But, it wasn't until I gave my life to the Lord in 1996 that I began writing for Jesus.'
'Music has been in my family for generations. Dad played guitar and sang in many choirs, including Barber Shop Choirs (man, can those guys harmonize!). His brother sang and directed a church choir in rural Illinois. Mom played piano and autoharp. Her grandmother played piano as well. Both of my brothers are talented musicians and have performed professionally in their home states of Indiana and Texas.'
'My strength here on earth is my wife and soul-mate, Teri. Of all the people I know, I have never know anyone who expresses a love for God like her. Now, she'll tell you that she can't play an instrument or sing. BUT, she can write amazing lyrics! She has co-authored many songs for PHM.'
'Both of our sons have been blessed with the gift of music as well. Justin is a professional musician with Rise Records. Josh has had his music published through QuickStar Productions. More importantly, they are both saved by the grace of God!'
'I am excited that my friend and brother, Lance Kamin, has partnered with me in this music ministry. Lance brings another dimension of sound and wisdom to PHM. Lance, you rock brother!'
Praise God for His son, Jesus Christ, and for His continual inspiration through the Holy Spirit!
Gear Endorsements: Seagull, Epiphone, Fender acoustic guitars, Line 6, Acoustec, D'Addario, Ernie Ball, Shure
A little about Lance Kamin:
God has been a part of my life since I was young, but it wasn't until the early 90's that I personally asked Jesus Christ to take over my life. My supportive wife, Linda and I are a blended family with four sons and eight wonderful grandchildren!'
'I have enjoyed playing music since I was nine years old. I started learning piano, then started playing guitar and bass guitar in bands through out my teenage years. In the 70's, I was a "union musician" and I played with "show lounge" bands in the Chicago area. After being born again, I have had many opportunities to use the musical and vocal talent God has given me, in leading worship at various churches and playing keyboards with a Christian band called Cross Roads.'
'God is leading me down a slightly different path with Paul Hieser Music and I'm eagerly anticipating the work He will do through us. My hope is that through the talents that God has given to each one of us, a life will be changed through the words and music of the songs we perform. I will enjoy the challenges and joys of performing and writing with such talented and God-centered individual.' 'I am looking forward to what God has in store for the ministry of Paul Hieser Music!
'Praise be to God through Jesus Christ His only Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit.'
Gear Endorsements: Alesis, Casio, Digitech, Gibson, Ibanez, and Carvin, (don't I wish!)

Via Larry Brown Sports:
The Miami Heat have turned their pregame ritual into their own personal dunk contest as of late, and LeBron James has been the headliner with sick jams like this. The display has made fans even more anxious for him to change his mind about competing in the Slam Dunk Contest. There's no question LeBron could win the Dunk Contest, as he makes dunks like the one he threw down before Miami's win over the Sacramento Kings look easy.
However, LeBron says he is considering putting a stop to it.
"Maybe I should stop because it's making a lot of people mad about what I do," James said Tuesday according to ESPN.com. "They're like, 'Well, if you can do it in warmups, why don't you (want to) be in the dunk contest? Stop it.'"
LeBron recently reminded fans that he is never going to participate in the Dunk Contest because he is too old, but many believe the videos of him dunking before games are proving that to be untrue.
"I've been hearing about it," James said. "But I don't really watch TV or go on the Internet too much. As a team, it's kind of our new thing. I've had some good ones, but (Chalmers) doing a 360? That's impressive. We have a little epidemic right now. It's kind of like the Harlem Shake."
At this point, it's obvious James has no interest in participating in the Dunk Contest. Fans should just enjoy the incredible dunks he is treating them to in pregame warmups, because that's as good as it's going to get.

The "X Window System version 11" is the whole shebang.
The X11 server is not a library but a program using Xlib handling at least a mandatory frame buffer and usually input devices like a keyboard and a mouse.
X11 clients are programs too, connecting either locally or remotely to the server, displaying windows and getting input devices events.
All of them ...
X11 is the whole gamut of X stuff, libraries, programs, protocols etc.
You have an X server and and X clients and shared libraries Xlib that clients and server use. The clients are the programs. The X server is effectively the keyboard (I say keyboard and not display,because you may have several displays but only on keyboard).
Accessing the X server requires two things:
The $DISPLAY variable pointing to the correct display (usually :0)
Proper authentication information
The authentication information can be explicitly specified via $XAUTHORITY, and defaults to ~/.Xauthority otherwise.
If $DISPLAY and $XAUTHORITY is set for your user, sudo will set them for the new shell, too, ...
You can either
Specify the display to be used on the command line, by adding -display :0.0
Set up the environment variable in root's login script (one of .bashrc, .profile, .bash_profile ...).
export DISPLAY=:0.0
You can check whether it's set,
$ env |grep DISPLAY
To open up your display for all users from all hosts as your normal ...
It's man doesn't seem to have a option to control it. But you can use DISPLAY= cacafire and cacafire wouldn't know how to connect to your X server; then fallback to running in the current terminal.
The X server on your system cannot support GLX graphics. You can confirm this using the following command:
$ glxinfo | head -15
name of display: :0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:

Particularly, what are the names for numpad + and −: xev tells me, that they are KP_Add and KP_Subtract.
For trapping the events, I reccommend xbindkeys, it works independently from your desktop environment. From there, you can trigger a shell script that does everything. The tricky bit is to do this press/release logic. One way is for xbindkeys to trigger an application that then by itself listens for release, but xorg events are unreliable and it may never ...

If the server you're ssh'ing into has a GUI running you forgo using the -X switch to ssh and set the $DISPLAY variable on the server prior to running the wine application like so:
$ DISPLAY=:0.0 wine Artemis.exe
If on the other hand you do want to see the GUI via ssh then you could try changing the compression used to hopefully speed things up via SSH ...
If your HDD allows, you can try to do it this way:
First write uncompressed file:
ffmpeg -f x11grab -s SZ -r 30 -i :0.0 -qscale 0 -vcodec huffyuv grab.avi
here SZ is your display size (e.g. 1920x1080).
After that you can compress it at any time you want:
ffmpeg -i grab.avi grab.mkv
Of course, you can change compression, select codec and so on.
I'm a little rusty w/ FVWM, and what you are asking for here amounts to a chapter in a book, so I'll just provide a few pointers. In the future, try to ask one short specific question and refer to what you've tried/know. Note that the fvwm man pages are very extensive and in-depth. If you can't get along with them, I'd give up now, because that is the ...
SSH blocks new X11 connections after 20 minutes in its default setup. To avoid this, run ssh -Y instead of ssh -X, or set the option ForwardX11Trusted yes in ~/.ssh/config.

This is a solution for the users of local X servers (ignoring local X clients with remote or virtual X servers).
You determine the PID of the display manager (which is the parent PID of Xorg), determine the PIDs of its children and determine the user of all processes which have one of them as parent:
#! /bin/bash
xorg_pid=$(pidof -s /usr/bin/Xorg)
test -n ...
There are several different scenarios; I'll describe the most common ones. The successive macroscopic events are:
Input: the key press event is transmitted from the keyboard hardware to the application.
Processing: the application decides that because the key A was pressed, it must display the character a.
Output: the application gives the order to display ...
If you're using XFCE you can do the following to have your script run when you log in:
If the command turned out successful all you need to do is open up your "XFCE Settings Manager" and go to "Session and Startup" then click on "Application Autostart" and add the command to your autostart so every-time you boot your displays will adjust.
You can't add it to ~/.bashrc, because you call graphical command, you should write a service for systemd. and call before gdm , kdm, or your Display manager.
You can use Systemd Services

Pretty sure you are looking for is X display manager.
Apologies for too short a response, I meant to expand, saying that everything you are looking for is available at that wiki page. It is just a DisplayManager that is configured to show remote options. Look at the section on XDMCP for specifics on how that works.

Problem solved,
As @Gilles said, I should put xrandr commands in an other file since rc.local is executed before X. So I've put all xrandr commands in a other script file, and added it to the auto-start list of my xfce environment, now resolution setting works.
However for Bluetooth, apparently it's a timing issue, I've found that the Bluetooth is ...
/etc/rc.local is executed before the X server starts, so it has no access to any GUI features. The xrandr commands cannot have any effect.
Put the xrandr commands in a different file, which runs when your GUI session starts. The file depends on your desktop environment.
This command must be started after the GUI environment has been started. The file .profile is read at the start of your login session, just before starting the GUI environment.
You should instead use the GUI methods to start GUI applications. Go to Settings Manager, Session and Startup; look for Application Autostart tab, press Add. Fill the Name and ...

Thomas Graham
Article Free PassThomas Graham, (born Dec. 20, 1805, Glasgow, Scot.—died Sept. 11, 1869, London, Eng.), British chemist often referred to as "the father of colloid chemistry."
Educated in Scotland, Graham persisted in becoming a chemist, though his father disapproved and withdrew his support. He then made his living by writing and teaching. He was a professor at a school in Edinburgh (1830–37) and at University College, London (1837–55), and was master of the mint (1855–69).
Graham's first important paper dealt with the diffusion of gases (1829). He developed "Graham's law" of the diffusion rate of gases and also found that the relative rates of the effusion of gases are comparable to the diffusion rates. From examining the diffusion of one liquid into another, he divided particles into two classes—crystalloids, such as common salt, having high diffusibility; and colloids, such as gum arabic, having low diffusibility. He devised dialysis, a method for separating colloids from crystalloids, and also proved that the process of liquid diffusion causes partial decomposition of certain chemical compounds. He invented many of the terms used in colloid chemistry.
In 1833 Graham studied the three forms of phosphoric acid, and from this work the concept of polybasic acids developed. In 1835 he reported on the properties of the water of crystallization in hydrated salts; he also obtained definite compounds of salts and alcohol, the "alcoholates," analogues of the hydrates. In his final paper he described palladium hydride, the first known instance of a solid compound formed from a metal and a gas.
