View Don J. DeBenedictis's original article here. Posted by LST on January 10, 2012.
Late last summer, Dean Bryant G. Garth asked Southwestern University School of Law's newest entering class members if they had a friend or relative share a New York Times article exposing the financial risks of going to law school.
"Every person raised their hand," Garth recalled.
The front-page story last January focused national attention on a rising chorus of complaints by law students that schools had suckered them into taking on huge debt with false promises of six-figure salaries immediately upon graduation.
Those complaints went on last year to spark several lawsuits, new rules from the American Bar Association's accreditation arm and demands from U.S. senators for answers. …
"When the market for lawyers is good … there's less stress in legal education," said Dean Erwin Chemerinsky of the UCI School of Law. "At a time when the market is bad, there's more stress in legal education."
But others say the source of the problems lies deeper.
"I think that law students and the public are starting to take a good, hard look at legal education in this country for the better," said Brian A. Procel of Miller Barondess LLP, who is suing San Diego's Thomas Jefferson School of Law under consumer protection laws. "They're just starting to realize this industry is not being run correctly."
Vanderbilt law graduate and blogger Kyle P. McEntee said his nonprofit, called "Law School Transparency," is exploring a number of alternative models, such as having more classes taught by part-time adjunct professors – practicing lawyers – who would command lower salaries.
Underlying all the complaints is concern over the accuracy of schools' employment data.
Many schools report that 80 percent to 90 percent of graduates have jobs nine months after graduation, earning a median salary of $160,000. But those numbers can be misleading. …
And as McEntee and his colleagues have shown, only a small percentage of a school's graduates may actually earn $160,000. The figure qualifies as the statistical median because only the graduates with good jobs tend to report their pay to their schools – a fact [Susan Westerberg Prager, the former UCLA law dean who now heads the Association of American Law Schools], said means employment data is "inherently flawed." …
The uproar also prompted California Sen. Barbara Boxer and two of her Republican colleagues to write letters to the ABA and the Department of Education demanding improvements.
In response to the transparency movement, U.S. News & World Report took steps in 2011 to post greater detail about law graduates' employment.
The ABA Section on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar, which accredits law schools, is beginning to collect detailed annual graduate employment data directly from schools rather than second-hand from the National Association for Law Placement.
But even that effort generated controversy in the fall when the ABA said it would drop questions for the class of 2010 about how many graduates had jobs requiring bar admission or preferring a law degree. The committee said it would bring back the questions for the class of 2011 but needed more time to thrash out the definition of "preferred." …
Critics have latched onto job data because of the high cost of legal education. At Thomas Jefferson, tuition is about $40,000 a year, and the average graduate's debt is $135,000. Nationally, law graduates' average debt load is about $100,000, and some new lawyers carry $200,000.
"That's too much to pay for an education," McEntee said. …
All of the bad news has begun to trickle down to potential students. …
"I actually think one of the tragedies of this is the number of people who are deciding not to go to law school now," the AALS chief said. "I happen to believe that legal education is a great, broad education … in which you develop skills that are useful in many, many other realms."
LST's Take:
This is a good synopsis of the last year in legal education. We expect scrutiny to be just as critical and widespread in 2012.

In 2005, Modern Life Is War released Witness, portraying their small middle-of-nowhere town of Marshalltown, Iowa. They wrote songs about Marshalltown being a place void of any hope, a ghost town that no one could get out of. Stylistically and lyrically, Modern Life Is War turned the hardcore world upside down. Though hardcore quintet Tradition (from Cincinnati, Ohio, not Middle of Nowhere, Iowa) doesn't bear any semblance to MLIW's cathartic heavy hardcore, their new record No Home is thematically similar in that it talks about trying to beat the odds and living as a working class person in a place that offers you little opportunity to succeed. Tradition's sound would be described as melodic hardcore influenced by Lifetime and Gorilla Biscuits with a little bit of Kid Dynamite mixed in as well.
He's got the looks he's got the style, We've had enough!! Pathetic Rock Stars, we've had enough. Major label pretty boy, rich kid success story, Fuck off!"Our Last Song" is a completely different story. It is a tribute song for a friend (Ryan Black) who died tragically in a car accident. This song is intensely personal, and the gang vocals seethe with passion as they lament the loss of one of the band's good friends. This song seems to be a snapshot of Tradition's future where the band will begin to distance itself from the mandatory short hardcore song and begin to build an even more unique and interesting sound. No Home is a breath of fresh air as far as hardcore is concerned. Tradition may be one of the many bands playing poppy hardcore, but No Home succeeds merely in not trying hard to be distinctively melodic or heavy; it's simply a natural hardcore sound, and it works in the best of ways.

not to mention that their guitarist plays his axe stringed backwards...I think he's a lefty, but it's impressive! You can buy this and a few of our other projects here: why won't the cincy/dayton "straightedgers" let them play in said area? One hundred fucking percent this band is the bomb. And that is coming from a time bomb like myself. Look them up and love them. Band rules. The full name for the song is "Please read between the lines" but myspace music player cuts off songs titles so we made it short for myspace. Okay so I went to this band's MySpace and the first song in the player is titled "Please Read"....WTF. This band was pretty decent live and they covered "Boxcar" (Jawbreaker), so you can't go wrong. "Stylistically and lyrically, Modern Life Is War turned the hardcore world upside down." No Homo! This is coming in the mail soon. i heard the cincy/dayton straight edgers wont let this band play in said areas |

Biden asks China to trust the U.S. amid airspace dispute
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, visiting China as a dispute over a new Chinese air defense zone rattles nerves around the region, said on Wednesday that relations between Washington and Beijing had to be based on trust.
Beijing's decision to declare an air defense identification zone in an area that includes disputed islands has triggered protests from the United States, Japan and South Korea, and dominated Biden's talks in Tokyo on Tuesday.The United States has made clear it will stand by treaty obligations that require it to defend the Japanese-controlled islands, but it is also reluctant to get dragged into any military clash between rivals Japan and China.
Biden told Chinese President Xi Jinping he believed Xi was a candid and constructive person.
"In developing this new relationship, both qualities are sorely needed," Biden said during a meeting in Beijing's Great Hall of the People.
"Candor generates trust. Trust is the basis on which real change, constructive change, is made."
Xi said the international situation and regional landscape were "undergoing profound and complex changes".
"Regional issues keep cropping up and there are more pronounced global challenges such as climate change and energy security. The world is not tranquil," he added.
Neither made any mention of the air defense zone in remarks before reporters. Biden flies to Seoul on Thursday.
As Biden arrived, the official English-language China Daily said in a strongly worded editorial that he "should not expect any substantial headway if he comes simply to repeat his government's previous erroneous and one-sided remarks".
"If the U.S. is truly committed to lowering tensions in the region, it must first stop acquiescing to Tokyo's dangerous brinkmanship. It must stop emboldening belligerent Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to constantly push the envelope of Japan's encroachments and provocations."
Under the zone's rules, all aircraft have to report flight plans to Chinese authorities, maintain radio contact and reply promptly to identification inquiries.
U.S., Japanese and South Korean military aircraft have breached the zone without informing Beijing since it was announced on November 23.
Japanese and South Korean commercial carriers have been told by their governments to ignore the rules. Three U.S. airlines, acting on government advice, are notifying China of plans to transit the zone.
China has repeatedly said the zone was designed to reduce the risk of misunderstandings, and stressed that since it was set up there had been no issues with freedom of flight for civilian airlines.
The Defence Ministry on Tuesday slammed what it said were "distortions" and "mud throwing" over the zone and China's intentions.
"It is not aimed at any specific country or target, and it certainly does not constitute a threat towards any country or region," ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng said in a statement.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said 55 airlines from 19 countries were cooperating with China's request to report flight plans and identify themselves in the zone.
Hong added that China was "willing to maintain dialogue and communication on relevant technical issues with Japan on the basis of equality and mutual respect". He did not elaborate.
Beijing's move has added to regional nerves about China's strategic intentions as it presses territorial claims in the South China Sea and ramps up an ambitious military modernization program.
Wang Dong, an associate professor of international relations at Peking University, said China's restraint following flights by U.S., Japanese and South Korean military aircraft showed China was serious when it said the zone was defensive.
"However, it would have been very helpful if China had presented a coherent story and a coherent case on the zone from the very beginning, instead of waiting," Wang said.
In Tokyo, Biden called on Japan and China to find ways to reduce tensions, repeating that Washington was "deeply concerned" by the announcement of the zone.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel echoed that sentiment on Wednesday, telling reporters at the Pentagon: "It's important for China, Japan, South Korea, all the nations in this area to stay calm and responsible."
"These are combustible issues," Hagel said.
Still, he criticized China for declaring the defense zone "so unilaterally and so immediately" without any international consultation.
"That's not a wise course of action to take for any country," Hagel said.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Tuesday that China's decision was a provocative attempt to change the status quo in the East China Sea.
The China Daily said it was obvious Washington had taken Tokyo's side in the dispute.
"Biden needs to be reminded that Japan holds the key to peacefully solving the East China Sea dispute, because it is the Abe administration's recalcitrant denial of the existence of a dispute that has prevented Beijing and Tokyo from conducting meaningful communication and crisis control," it said.
China wants Japan first to acknowledge that a formal dispute over sovereignty exists, experts say, a step that Tokyo has rejected for fear it would undermine its claim over the islands, known as the Senkaku in Japan and the Diaoyu in China.
"Again, our timely visitor needs to be told: It is Japan that has unilaterally changed the status quo … China is just responding to Japanese provocations."

Business cycle synchronisation: disentangling trade and financial linkages
Drawing on a large sample of countries, this paper explores whether closer economic ties between countries foster business cycle synchronisation and disentangles the role of the various channels, including trade and financial linkages as well as the similarity in sectoral specialisation. Overall, our results confirm that trade integration fosters business cycle synchronisation. Similar patterns of sectoral specialisation also lead to closer business cycle co-movement. By contrast, it remains difficult to find a direct relationship between bilateral financial linkages and output correlation. However, our results suggest that financial integration affects business cycle synchronisation indirectly by raising the similarity in sectoral specialisation. Through this indirect link, financial integration tends to raise business cycle comovement between countries. JEL Classification: E32, F41, E44Download Info

Our single car carport has virtually a flat roof- just enough pitch to get water to run. The house is almost 60 years old. The "rafters" are 2×4's 16" on center covered with tongue and groove 3/4" boards and rolled roofing (the roofing has been replaced several times. It has held up- with only minor sagging we live in south central Pennsylvania so there have been winters when the snow has been quite heavy. -- Lew- Time traveler. Purveyor of the Universe's finest custom rolling pins. |
#2 posted 976 days ago |
In this picture, it appears to me that the studs are doubled. You are better off with one 2X6 versus two 2X4 sistered. Rafter size is dictated by your local code. In the past, I have used 2X4 rafters where now 2X6es are required due to the 1994 earthquake here in Southern California. I am not qualified by law to tell you what to do, but for that span, you should be OK with 2X6es. Depends also on what you use for a ridge beam. |
#3 posted 976 days ago |
AtomJack, I think you are seeing this differently than intended. All of the area shown is the roof, viewed from above. There is no ridge beam as it attaches to the gable end of a garage. The odd shape is to take in as much of the patio area as possible. -- Website is finally up and running....www.woodandwrite.com |
#4 posted 976 days ago |
The strength of rafters comes from their width. You will gain very little doubling up a 2×4 when compared to using a single 2×6, especially when trying to span 10-feet. And besides, you will use less lumber using 2×6s. Just saying… -- HorizontalMike -- "Woodpeckers understand..." |
#5 posted 976 days ago |
I'm not a carpenter but I agree with Mike. From a common sense standpoint the 2×6's would cost less and take less work and the roof would also be lighter. -- If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

I'm not sure how much snow you get where you are, but its not going to take to much with snow load to over stress 2×6's in a 10 ft unsupported span. -- There is nothing like the sound of a well tuned hand plane. - http://timetestedtools.wordpress.com (timetestedtools at hotmail dot c0m) |

#8 posted 976 days ago |
A slightly different perspective for consideration – - Usually, a 2×6 is preferable to 2 2×4s. There may be an exception if you are dealing with inferior material. A board is only as strong as its weakest spot along its length. If you are dealing with wood that has weak spots, sistering 2 boards together can be a good idea. -- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker. I don't create beauty, I reveal it. |

D_Allen didn't say whether or not this awning will be supported or not. If NOT supported then even wider boards should be used and Nailbanger's link will come in handy. -- HorizontalMike -- "Woodpeckers understand..." |
#10 posted 976 days ago |
Since you're in Ohio, you'll be dealing with snow loads. You don't say why you need to use 2×4 rafters, but if this were my project, I would find a way to use 2×8 rafters. I would also have a rafter at the apex of the roof line (where your 10' dimension is located) so the facia boards aren't hanging in space. -- Adversity doesn't build character...................it reveals it. |
#11 posted 976 days ago |
As long as you have support posts you should be fine with 2×6s at that spacing. My house's roof is fairly steep which helps a lot but is made of 24' 2×4s set 16" on center with only one support each in the center and they have held for 93 years without any noticeable sagging despite being in upstate NY. The load could get heavy being flatter but if they're properly braced to the wall and supported at the open side a 2×6 roof can hold a lot. Just make sure your support posts are buried deeply enough for a proper anchor and the roof is properly attached to them or I'd be more worried about the roof blowing away in a good storm. -- --Rev. Russ in NY-- A posse ad esse |

OK, this needs more splainin I guess. -- Website is finally up and running....www.woodandwrite.com |
#13 posted 976 days ago |
You could always make your own trusses. This would increase the strength without losing any height. Top member 2×4, bottom member 2×4, with webbing of 2×4 or plywood. It's important to have very strong joints, which is why I mention plywood. You could cut a groove and glue it in between the members. Of course this would more than double your lumber cost. Just a thought. -- Wish I were Norm's Nephew |
#14 posted 976 days ago |
A doubled-2×4 is only half as strong in flexure as a single-2×6. The bending moment of inertia "I" of a rectangular section is proportional to the cube of the section's height. I = 1/12 [b*h^3] where b is the width and h is the height. Every little bit of additional section height counts WAY more than adding (a whole bunch of) width. To put it differently: Building codes aside, (!!) what deflection will you find acceptable? |

What if I braced the rafters like this? ? -- Website is finally up and running....www.woodandwrite.com |

Please see the list archives. I've probably admitted to screwing
up, when I do it, more than any other poster to these lists. I
simply don't have an emotional investment in always being right.
You'll also notice that I don't take attacks on instances of my
code as attacks on me personally (though style issues, which I
believe are irrelevant, and the values of the ideas which the code
embodies, are different matters -- I don't care how an idea is
implemented, as long as it's The Right Idea being implemented).
Now please read my followup refuting the ability to actually *get*
ISDN, as opposed to getting a *description* of ISDN from a company
that doesn't actually *provide* ISDN. Feel free to contact US West;
I live in the 795 prefix, which is not attached to the single 5ESS
in Tucson. If you can get me real ISDN, I will be happy to buy it
from them. But you can't, because I can't, because they can't.

About & Contact
Hola! I'm Mercedes Maidana
I am a Motivational Speaker, Abundance Coach and Patagonia Surf Ambassador.
I'm here to help you live an abundant life!
By abundant, I mean: happy, joyful, passionate, fulfilled life! Once you fill yourself from the inside out, all areas of your life will be aligned into more abundance:
- You will tap into financial abundance
- Your career will be of joy and creativity
- Your relationships will be loving
- You will have a solid spiritual foundation to live on
I believe that we can live a life beyond our wildest dreams but we just need to know how. Every single dream that I had is my reality here and now. I learned how to apply different manifesting techniques and spiritual principles of Abundance. I am here to share these tools with you!
Let me first tell you a lil' bit about me:
I help people live their dreams by finding new, bigger ways of thinking and taking action.
I share with English and Spanish speaking women (and some awesome guys) direct ways to connect inside and fulfill themselves from the inside out to manifest their dream life. Today, I am living my dream. But It wasn't always like that.
This is the story:
I was a city girl from Buenos Aires, a 13 million people city, living the urban life. At age 21 I got my heart broken by a rockstar boyfriend. I entered a dark time in my life and spent 7 months depressed and frozen. A friend invited me to Brazil for a short holiday so I could breathe some fresh air. Little did I know that my life was about to change forever!
Once in Brazil I discovered surfing and I fell in love with the ocean-head over heels. I traveled the world looking for a place I would call home and ended up in Hawaii, where the best waves in the world break along the coast. Once settled in Hawaii, the allure of bigger waves started to pick my interest.
At age 26, five years after having started surfing, I decided I wanted to go for my next big dream: to become one of the best female big wave surfers in the world and to get paid to travel the chasing huge waves.
Not only I wanted to be sponsored, but I knew exactly what company I wanted to get sponsored by: Patagonia. My goal seemed impossible to attain but my passion was so strong that I couldn't not follow it!
I put into use all the manifesting techniques that I had learned throughout the years, and today I am living my dream!
These are some of the results:
I manifested a sponsorship with the kick ass clothing company Patagonia.
I travel the world surfing big and small waves, whenever I want, wherever I want.
Six years after I started surfing I was nominated at the XXL Big Wave Awards as one of the three best women big wave surfers in the world. Then I got nominated again and again in 2010 and 2011.
I do motivational talks around the world to inspire people to live their own dreams. You can find me in my laptop in Indonesia after a great surf in the middle of nowhere, to the metropolis of Buenos Aires or New York, to tiny towns in Mexico or Chile. I may be in my flip flops and beach hair for weeks, or I may be in stilettos, leather and sequins in the big cities. I can go from backpacking to red carpet in a minute. I love it all, I am all of it combined!
Here are a few more dreams that I manifested:
I am living in my dream home on the beach in what I consider the best place in the world: the North Shore of Oahu. This is my home's view, no kidding here!
I am married to the most perfect man for me: Gregg. Not only he is a hottie pattotie, but he is is my very best person in the world (and my best friend).
I also live right in front of my favorite surf spot in the world: Sunset Beach. I surf there every time it breaks!
My most recent manifestation? I got my dream Tiffany's ring just two weeks after I put it out to the Universe!
(But that's a whole other story!)
I know we can transform our lives and live in abundance, no matter what has happened to us in the past. We can always start fresh, we can create our reality the way we want.
I discovered that we can easily manifest our heart's desires. At first, I did it the hard way, but now I'm doing it the effortless way. I prefer the latter and this is the approach I share through my blog posts and speaking events.
I manifested my surfing career through sheer willpower, force, pushing and demanding. I made all my dreams come true. I ticked them off my bucket list, one-by-one but in the midst of it, I felt burned out and fatigued. I'd lost the joy in my life. I even had to face the gates of death (in a surfing accident) before I realized that my approach wasn't working out.
Now, I use the same tools I used years ago, but my approach is very different. Instead of manifesting my dreams through willpower, I am now manifesting them through joy. I follow the essence of joy from within and take that energy into the world. I now co-create with a Power Greater than myself.
Enjoying the journey and loving the process will get us to our dream lives—because when we love each step along the way, we become our dreams.
I went from a Hell No! to a Hell Yeah! life. Not only I get to surf, travel, enjoy my beautiful home with my love, I can share what I know with others so they can also live their dream life! I teach abundance tools and share spiritual principles, combined with a great deal of taking ACTION, so you can see real results in your life.
Because I know that you can create anything you want. I share through Breakthrough Sessions, giving motivational talks and writing blog posts (and a book that is in the making).

My desire is to bring the message of Abundance into as many lives as possible. Thanks for joining me in this manifesting journey!

He's the closest thing the Baltimore Orioles have had to an Iron Man since Cal Ripken Jr. retired. Nick Markakis missed his first game of the season Wednesday and just his sixth in the past three-plus seasons with a right wrist injury. Markakis was hurt on a swing in the ninth inning Tuesday, and he will be examined by a specialist Thursday. X-rays taken Wednesday were negative. Markakis said the wrist is swollen and considers himself day-to-day pending Thursday's examination. He sat in the dugout Wednesday with his wrist wrapped in a white bandage, and he watched the Orioles fall 4-1 to cap a sweep by the Toronto Blue Jays. With Markakis out, the Orioles not only had to find a replacement in right field, but also in a key spot in the batting order, No. 3, right in front of breakout star Adam Jones. The first half of 2012 has tested Markakis' durability. He entered spring training slowly after undergoing offseason surgery on a torn abdominal muscle. While he...

St. Leopold Mandic
1866 - 1942
Canonized By: Pope John Paul II
Saint Leopold Bogdan Mandi? was born on May 12, 1866 and died on June 30, 1942. He was an ethnic Croat born in Herceg Novi, in Boka Kotorska (modern-day Montenegro), and died in Padua, Italy. Physically malformed and delicate, having a height of only 1.35m, with clumsy walk and stuttering, he developed tremendous spiritual strength. His feast is celebrated May 12.
Although he wanted to be a missionary in Eastern Europe, he spent almost all of his adult life in Italy, and lived in Padua from 1906 until the end of his life. He spent also one year in Italian prison during WWI, since he did not want to renounce his Croatian nationality. He also dreamed unceasingly about reuniting the Catholic and Orthodox churches and going to the Orient. He became known as Apostle of Confession and Apostle of Unity. He made a famous prayer that is the forerunner of today's Ecumenism.
Bogdan Mandi? was the twelfth child of Dragica Carevi? and Petar Antun Mandi?, owner of an Adriatic fishing fleet; they came from village of Zaku?ac (hinterland of city of Omi�, 28 km from Split). The origins of his family are noble; they came from Vrhbosna province in Bosnia.
He suffered from disabilities that would plague his speech and stature. The family eventually lost most of its wealth, and became more sympathetic to those who suffered in similar situations. In November of 1882 while he was 16, Bogdan went to Udine to enter the seminary of the Venetian Capuchins, and accepted the name "Leopold". Two years later he was put in the Bassano del Grappa friary, where he took the name Leopold. His first profession of vows were made a year later in May and a profession of perpetual vows 4 years latter in 1888.
In the mid-1880s, Croatian Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer began a movement which focused on unity and consecration of the cathedral of ?akovo and Srijem, a movement in which Leopold took interest in. On September 20, 1890, Leopold was ordained to the presbyterate at Venice at the age of 24.
Refusing to renounce his Croatian nationality during World War I, Leopold was forced to go to southern Italy. All this time Leopold held a hope that he would be able to return to his homeland and preach among his people, a feat that would be inhibited by his disabilities. On top of his physical deformities, he also suffered from stomach ailments, poor eyesight, and arthritis. Unsurprisingly, the Capuchin ministers declined these attempts due to his health.
While in Italy, Leopold's main vocation was confessions, which he did for 34 years. The Capuchin brothers often criticized Leopold for his approach to confession, calling him too lenient and compassionate. Leopold's compassion showed that he was more understanding and sympathetic to the people that came to him, and would treat them with great sensitivity. He was an outspoken on issues with children, and being pro-life and especially fond of expectant mothers and young children. He did great work in setting up orphanages for children without parents.
Leopold also had a deep devotion to the Virgin Mary who he referred to as "my holy boss". He was known to pray the rosary quite often, and celebrated the eucharist daily at the side altar in the Little Office of the Virgin Mary. He would then visit the sick in nursing homes, hospitals and homes all over Padua. He visited the Capuchin infirmary to comfort the sick friars, giving them words of advice and reminding them to have faith.
Leopold suffererd from esophagus cancer, which would ultimately lead to his death at age 76. On July 30, 1942, while preparing for the liturgy, he collapsed on the floor. He was then brought to his cell, where he was given the last rites. Friars that had gathered at his bed sang "Salve Regina," and when they got to the words, "O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary," Leopold died.
During the bombing of World War II the church and part of the friary where Leopold lived were demolished, but Leopold's cell and confessional were left unharmed. Leopold had predicted this before his death, saying, "The church and the friary will be hit by the bombs, but not this little cell. Here God exercised so much mercy for people, it must remain as a monument to God's goodness." Paul VI beatified Leopold on May 2, 1976. He was canonized by John Paul II during the Synod of Bishops on October 16, 1983. Leopold is hailed as the "Apostle of Unity."

Some years ago I found a prayer card in one of my deceased parent's prayer books and I felt I should place this in my daily missal as a mark for key pages .
Now whenever I see this holy man's image and read his prayer I feel inspired - so much so that i eventually decided to find out more about him .
I feel that maybe he is calling Catholic people back to more regular practice of the sacrament of reconcilation / confession .
Peace and God's blessing's to all

I found this page doing a search for his ecumenical prayers. The article is very good but it would be better if it included more about his desire for unity and also some of his prayers for it. (If you have access to any of his prayers would you please send them to me?) Thanks and God bless.

As a Croatian, I am so very proud of St. Leopold Mandic.
St. Leopold, please pray for Croatia!
Thank you in the Name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit! Amen.

problems with multiple monitors
i have set up my system to run 3 monitors (2 from an nvidia card, s-video connected to a tv and a standard monitor, and 1 from a savage) however, when i installed my third monitor (in xf86config-4) the tv and the first monitor, which before acted as two sepperate screens, are now functioning as a single screen. on top of that the new monitor is outputing in what looks like 16 bit (at best) though it reads as outputing in 32 bit. add to that when i attempt to move the mouse using the mouse keys, the cursor jumps to the 3rd monitor (which has the location 0,0 if thats important) and it wont move past it. (in fact it tends to get stuck in the 0 columb) i havent found a method to fix this yet and any help would be appriciated
(btw i am running on sarge debian with k desktop environment if thats important)

did i give too little of information? certainly someone must have some idea of what to do.
also the video card the 3rd monitor is hooked up to had the same video problem when i configured it to be the only monitor. (the card is not the primary card so i included pci:1:0:0 with it. the main card is the nvidia at pci:0:9:0. if that helps. the option on the nvidia cards are (off the top of my head) TwinView, twinViewOrientation "LeftOf", and one for the tv resolution and vertal synch (forgot the exact name of that option). there are no options on the savage card.)
any idea of what to do?

Hello, sorry for not giving reply but I have a doubt that can we use two or more monitors, to watch a movie in one monitor and work in another like that?
Please give me this information. I can do a project to make a single system work as a two or more with two keyboards, mice, and monitors.
Thank you. my ID is email@example.com

no it is indeed possible to have 2 monitors working so you can watch a movie on one and work on the other i have been doing that for years. (with a card that supports svideo and a tv that supports svideo you can hook the two together then add the "twinview" option with "leftof" "rightof" "below" or "under" to tell where it is reletive to the primary monitor.)
that i know works. the problem comes when i added the third monitor. i had to add a new device section, screen section, and relation within the server layout section. but it did indeed hook up to be a third monitor (i specified "screen 2 leftof default screen" where default screen is the nvidia card, which is running out through the telly. i imagine the problem lies here with the fact that the tely is not possessing its own screen and is only getting it through the twinview option. so....screen 2 overode the option letting it be a sepperate screen. however i dont know what to do to fix this. i dont know how to make a seperate screen/device for the telly.)
the colour problems with the third monitor happened when it was set up as the only monitor. because the nvidia card is considered the primary card, the savage card (through which the monitor is running) had to be set up with pci id 1:0:0 now i dont know if that has something to do with it or not.
i know the card CAN support full colours and the monitor as well. so i havent the fogiest wehat the problem could be.

Then and now: Nürnberger Straße
Posted on April 7, 2012
Nice comparison shots of Nürnberger Straße at the corner with Tauentzienstraße, showing the Woolworth store building, which although burnt out in the allied air raids of November 1943, survived until the 1950s, when the site was developed with a new Woolworth store. In turn, that 1950s store survived until the 1990s.
This area has, in my opinion, become quite faceless and is seen here a few days ago - April 2012

Hahaha well I hope you are joking, because you sure made me laugh!
What did I just read?
God puts his cuddle bear inside you. He's called the HOLYGHOST !!!
Noveltman, are you perchance, bored? Lol. I don't know the answer, but for myself, I'd love to have a mean old She-Bear. I'd bring her out on family holidays and set her loose on my "out-laws".. She-Bear sign up..count me in.
Wow, and Christians talk all the time about other belief systems and their magical underwear. That's just, wow. You definitely got them back for bashing on other religions.
As for the longjohns, I had never heard about the sacred undies before and was learning something here.
Maybe you should enlighten us? We would love to hear from an actual LDS member.
Lmao, she-bears?
You don't have to live by every word in the bible only the hand picked portions that appeal to the culture of the day and age, or the sect you pay your dues to.... I mean tithe to.
Don't worry Nov.......I will protect you and your growing bald spot. Bald eagles are friends to talking toy tigers everywhere *<];0)
That was a miracle not a protection promise.
I've always been intrigued by thus story. So, I think the she-bear is kept in the woods! I think there are two requirements for this protection: bald head and man of God. But, I'm sure there have been tons of bald men of God throughout the years that children have made fun of....so why was he different?
What did I just read? A bear protector, let me try to make a mind control device for bears real quick.
They were making fun of a man of God up in age attack a weak one of Gods children and you get God defending him and You can't win and won't win
Killing 42 children for an insult seems excessive to me. Maybe its because most atheists would have just ignored them, since they were only children, and continued on our way into Bethel.
You see, religious people? This is a fine example of why I'm an atheist.
Atheists don't believe that an invisible man in the sky sends magical bears out to kill children who make fun of bald women.
But hey, if want to believe that, more power to ya.
What's your point?
Of course he will. The lord will always spawn bears to mutilate any children that make fun of your bald head. That is how merciful he is.
I didn't know you was a person being mocked, antagonized, and threatening to be attacked by a mob of at 43 young men. :). I believe you already know what I am referring to, but just in case here you go:
Hope you have a great New Years Novel. God bless.
Actually, my Study Bible tells me that these youths (I automatically hear Joe Pesci say that word, a la My Cousin Vinny) represented a generation of kids who were increasingly full of contempt for God and His laws. Not only that, but when they insulted Elisha, they were REALLY insulting God. Aaaand God used the bears to warn an entire generation that blasphemy would have swift consequences. Yup.
"Hey Elisha!! Go to Heaven, you baldy!"
"Vengeance will be mine!" thus sayeth the Lord (from Heaven of course).
"Aaaaarrrrgggggh!" cried all the kids.
"Rowr!" roared the bear as it removed all their limbs. And heads.
I've gotta say that I hadn't read that particular story -- thanks for the reference..
Way to go !! The perfect solution to CCS (Cheeky Children Syndrome). Wonder where i can rent a couple of she-bears?
You only get she-bears if you're on your way to Bethel. But I'm sure if you asked god nicely, he could find some other fun way to mutilate children who make fun of you!
I wouldn't be so sure... god told me to not cut my hair... If I don't Cut it I get super strength... He lied >:(... Him or the voices...
2 Kings 2:23-24 is not an account of God mauling young children for making fun of a bald man. Rather, it is a record of an insulting demonstration against God's prophet by a large group of young men. Because these young people of about 20 years of age or older (the same term is used of Solomon in 1 Kings 3:7) so despised the prophet of the Lord, Elisha called upon the Lord to deal with the rebels as He saw fit. The Lord's punishment was the mauling of 42 of them by two female bears. The penalty was clearly justified, for to ridicule Elisha was to ridicule the Lord Himself. The seriousness of the crime was indicated by the seriousness of the punishment. The appalling judgment was God's warning to all who would scorn the prophets of the Lord.http://www.gotquestions.org/Elisha-baldhead.html
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Making fun of God is not a laughing matter. I' m so sorry you feel it necessary. matthew 12:36-37

Finding Your Purpose
O, The Oprah Magazine | From the November 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Fashion Designer The revelation came with the washing machine. My mother was a supertalented woman who could do anything—paint, build, cook, make costumes. One day when I was about 11, my father gave her a washing machine, and she was so thrilled. I thought, "What? Here's this woman with all this incredible talent, and she's excited because she was given a washing machine?" That's when I said, "I want a career." |

March, 2000 | What
Does Consciousness Allow For?
Consider the possibility that reality is a function of how something occurs at a particular scale or magnification. For example, a table looks solid until you examine it through an electron microscope and suddenly see than it is dramatically more space that mass. In the same way a problem in an organization occurs differently whether you are viewing it as an event, a pattern, or a system. Recently 'Mary' confided in me that she had received a substandard performance review and felt like a scapegoat because her style of getting things done was 'too aggressive for the culture.' When we reviewed the specific incidences of aggressive behavior, Mary couldn't see how they could be considered 'aggressive.' In her view, holding people accountable for project deliverables seemed appropriate. The more we inquired into the history of this kind of feedback the more Mary saw that this wasn't the first time that she had received assessments of being 'too aggressive and confrontational' for other people's comfort. In fact, her high standards of accountability began as a girl. Her siblings accused Mary because she took such great pride in always doing her chores without ever being reminded. A standard she also expected her siblings to adhere to. Now we could see an emerging pattern. Mary had grown up in a system that shaped how she related to tardiness and unfulfilled commitments. She wasn't the author of her punctuality, but rather the unconscious 'fanatic' created by the dynamics of her family of origin. While our work at the Institute for Women's Leadership is not intended to be psychological in nature, we often discover that today's reality is a direct result of the environment in which we were raised. A response to a seemingly simple event in today's workplace can seem inconsistent or out of proportion to the situation until we explore it from different scales or magnifications. Consciousness allows for choice and choice
allows for new behaviors. |

The Word: Jonathan Groff and Zachary Quinto break up
To be honest, I didn't even know that Jonathan Groff of "Glee" and "Star Trek Into Darkness" star Zachary Quinto were dating, which is upsetting, because it pleases me to think of my love of science fiction and musicals united in one couple. Anyway, it doesn't matter now, because apparently they are no more.
Groff and Quinto recently broke up after dating for more than a year, according to Just Jared. Quinto came out of the closet in 2011 and went public with his relationship with Groff last year. The breakup seems perfectly civilized, and the two remain friends; Quinto even went to see Groff perform recently. So maybe there's hope yet for a singing "Star Trek" love story.

Son of Fred Farrar
Hi my name is Joe Farrar. I am the son of Fred Farrar and the grandson of Mary Farrar. I was trying to find my dads old house we used to visit every year and could not find it. Does anyone know if it is still around or the Black house that was next to JB's house.
I have not been back to Standing Rock Alabama since I was 16. Is anyone still living in the area? I remember Avis's family moved to Texas and Dotts family was in Florida and JB's family was still in Alabama I think.
Everyone take care

RE: Embry ...Kin to you.
Thank you, I think.
I am related to the Swearingens, Giffords, and Embrys through Maggie Swearingen (1859-1889) and her mother Mary Emby (1840-1911). My family are the Curds -- James Pryor, a first cousin several times removed, married Maggie Swearingen. The families are all quite prominent in Louisville, where I grew up.
What is the link between Mary Embry and William Wallace Embry?

Written by Amanda Turner for International Gymnast Magazine | Saturday, 21 July 2012 16:25
Gymnastics legend Nadia Comaneci was given the honor of carrying the Olympic torch on Saturday as the flame began a seven-day tour of London that will culminate at Friday's Opening Ceremony.
The torch arrived in London on Friday, the 63rd day of the relay, in a Royal Navy Commando Helicopter. In front of the London Bridge, a Royal Marine carrying the flame rappelled down a rope to the capital. Olympic track and field champion Kelly Holmes, the 800m and 1500m gold medalist in Athens, was the first to run with the flame in the host city.
On the torch's first full day in London, Comaneci ran with the torch to the top of the North Greenwich Arena, where she exchanged the flame with English basketball legend John Amaechi. The gymnastics competition begins in one week at the same arena.
"I'm very happy and honored to be part of the torch relay," Comaneci said. "Everybody's very excited, just six days to the opening ceremony."
The torch, which has been carried by 8,000 runners around the United Kingdom since May 19, is nearing its final destination of the Olympic Stadium. One final runner will light the Olympic cauldron to officially mark the opening of the XXX Olympiad. The flame will stay lit for the next 14 days.
In one of the most memorable moments of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, gymnastics great Li Ning "ran" with the torch around the rim of the stadium in spectacular fashion before lighting the flame.

Four stranded boaters were saved with one kite over the weekend.
It happened off Sullivan's Island Saturday after their sailboat overturned and JP Lurkin came to the rescue.
"During the rescue I had to ditch the board and ride like this," said Lurkin as he demonstrated the rescue.
He used a kiteboarding survival technique called "body dragging."
Lurkin said, "We use it when we lose our board so we could get back to the board and when coaches are teaching kite surfers, its part of their drilling process."
Kiteboarding up and down the East Coast for about nine years, Lurkin stuck to what he knew when helping the stranded boaters.
Holding the safety leash, Lurkin said, "You can actually stretch this pretty good and I had all four people that were on the sailboat attached to this."
Lurkin says the group was on a J24 sailboat. They ran aground several hundred yards off shore near station 28 ½.
"When they got grounded, the waves were beating against the boat and eventually the keel of the boat actually broke off," said Lurkin.
The keel is a fin-shaped piece that hangs underneath a boat. Once that broke off, water started coming in and it flipped onto its side. All four passengers were dumped into the water.
Lurkin said, "Kind of as a team we just moved to the beach. I'd say by the time we got about a football field away Sullivan's Island Fire Department showed up with their jet skis and supported us the rest of the way in."
A friend of Lurkin's snapped a picture of the boat after it floated under the bridge connecting Sullivan's to the Isle of Palms.
The fin sticking up out of the water serves as a reminder of how dangerous the area can be.
Lurkin said, "I think it looks good for the community of kiters that are out here. I'm not the only one that has pulled people off the breach out here. When somebody's out in trouble in the water I was taught at a young age that you want to pull them out and you want to make sure that they're safe and everything's good."
Lurkin said he noticed one of the boaters had a cut on his leg. He said the man was treated on scene by the Sullivan's Island Fire and Rescue.
