I thought people were supposed to time out if they took more than half their time on a single move?
A game I'm playing now has been sitting since the 24th minute, he has one response and is down to the 8th minute.
Can we add a feature where you get a maximum of 1 minute to play the move if you only have 1 forced move available?
The half-time-per-move rule applies to live tournaments only.
Personally, I'd object to any rule interfering with my time management.
And how would you define "forced move"? A player is allowed to play any legal move, even a losing one.
But something should be done against suckers blundering away the game at move six and letting the clock run down ... <\rant>
There was a single legal move he took 24 minutes on.
Oh! That's different.
He had no reason to move any more. He should have resigned an the spot.
Unfortunately you can't do anything about such chess friends other than to block them.
He was just trying to annoy you.
Maybe his mouse died. And he couldn't find batteries. Or his screen froze. Or his hands fell off. Or he had to go feed his llama. Or a piano fell on him. Or he hadn't noticed your move and still thought it was your turn. Or he was eating Cheetos and didn't want to get his mouse covered in cheese dust. Or he had a seizure, or a hemorrhage from his horrible play, or fell of his chair and strained his wrist. Or got kidnapped by a tuba band. Or suddenly remembered where he put his car keys, and rushed off to get them. Or accidentally pressed the flip board button, and was waiting for your move, thinking you were black. Or suddenly became very very happy for some reason, and decided to go knit oven mitts. Or had to take out his garbage. Or had to take out his neighbours garbage. Or had to answer the door. Or had to pick up pizza. Or had to watch a movie with his pizza. Or had to give his neighbour a back massage in thanks for taking out his garbage for him while he was away on vacation. Or went away on vacation. Or went away to eat trash. Or went away to eat his neighbour. Or started scribbling erotic cartoons in mspaint. Or got distracted by 4chan. Or posted erotic cartoons on 4chan. Or got arrested by the FBI for downloading movies illegally over the internet. Or got fustrated by your superior chess skills and opened up a new tab to start studying how to hack chess dot com live games, as he realised his only winning move would be to play 26... Qxg1#. Or maybe he thought he pressed resign but didn't click it properly. Or maybe he was a jerk.
Agree with the list. My life is also full of surprises not to mention a bio-break once in a while.
They can use their time however they want to use it.
Not in tournaments. And not within the fair play policy.
Thanks for bumping an 8 month old thread for that contribution though.

Some pastor friends and I got to talking recently about sermon podcasting. I'm always disappointed when gifted preachers I know, whose sermons I'd like to listen to, aren't available as a podcast. Some congregations put their sermon audio on their church's website, but that's not the same as setting up a podcast that can be searched for and subscribed to via iTunes.
Many medium-sized and large congregations have folks to record the service and take care of this technical detail. But what about small congregations? Yes you can! We've been podcasting at Tiny Church for a few years now. (Search Idylwood Presbyterian on iTunes, or click here.)
In my experience with a small church, many decisions are inevitably weighed in terms of stewardship of time and resources. Or to put it crudely, a cost/benefit scale. Is it worth going through the effort of podcasting if only a couple of people will avail themselves of it?
It is absolutely worth the effort because it doesn't take very much effort at all. It's also an easy and important method of evangelism—a way of being in the world, exactly where people are searching for inspiration and ideas.
Thinking about setting up a sermon podcast but not sure where to start? Let me put on a very old hat of mine, that of technical writer.
There are three basic steps to podcasting: recording the sermon, converting the sound file, and uploading it to a podcast service. Here is how I handle those three steps in a small church without an A/V team.
1. Recording. I use iRecorder Pro, which is a $2.99 app for my iPhone. I put the phone on the pulpit and hit record when I start preaching and stop when I'm done. (Protip: Write start/stop reminders into your manuscript or notes.) The microphone works fine whether I'm using a microphone or not.
2. Converting to mp3. Most recorders I'm familiar with save the recording in some other format. Podcasts require mp3. I download the audio from my phone to my MacBook Air and use Switch to convert. It looks like there's a paid version of Switch, but the version I use is/was free. There are a ton of audio converters out there.
3. Uploading the mp3 file to your podcast service. I use SermonDrop, which I've been very happy with. The free version keeps the 10 most recent sermons. If you want more than that, you can pay. You upload the file to their site, and there are places to type in scripture text, name of preacher, whether it's part of a series, etc. You can even upload Here is IPC's SermonDrop page.
You do those three steps every time. There's also an intermediate step that you need to do once, which is to register your podcast with iTunes so it shows up in their listing. Here are some instructions. Basically you're telling iTunes "hey, my podcast exists, here it is." So anyone who searches for your church name will find it.
As a pastor of a small church, you could certainly find someone to take care of this each week. But honestly? It takes me 10 minutes per week, and that's mainly waiting for the computer to convert and to upload. There is no reason not to do it.
Does your congregation podcast? What tools or suggestions do you have?
Coming soon: Evernote for Pastors. In the meantime, here's an old post on that topic. (And have you signed up for my email list?)

Jeremy Borash
Real Name
Jeremy Borash
Date of Birth
July 19, 1974
Place of Birth
Despite being sent legal threats from the company, it appears that Sin Cara has opted to be defiant towards WWE. The masked wrestler recently won a championship down in Mexico while using the name and character, both of which he claims ownership to. New merchandise has been made despite the possibility of a lawsuit coming.
March 5, 2014
While he has stepped away from the spotlight quite a bit, the civil lawsuit between TNA and Scott Steiner is still an ongoing thing. A judge in Nashville has decided to postpone things from March until November. For those wondering, that is the reason why Steiner has been rather quiet online for the past year. He wants to avoid any further trouble.
March 2, 2014
Hunico might be cashing in a nice pay per view bonus check at Wrestlemania 30 this year, as WWE still has interest in using the Sin Cara character at the event. Merchandise sales have remained strong, and the company wants to continue to capitalize. There may be a lawsuit coming from the original performer, though.
February 12, 2014
The Minnesota Twins of the Major Baseball League has filed paperwork to oppose the WWE's attempt to obtain a trademark for the Bella Twins.
November 20, 2013
While he has not been had as much of an presence on screen on Impact Wrestling as of late, Jeremy Borash is very much still involved backstage with TNA. He has been working very closely with Dixie Carter in business development. Borash does a lot of traveling for the company, including overseas business trips.
February 13, 2014
Dixie Carter placed a clue on Twitter about the new arrivals by writing the initials "DR" and "EE", which prompted Jeremy Borash to guess that it was Dusty Rhodes and Eric Embry. The widespread speculation is that it is Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards.
January 16, 2014
In a video, Dixie Carter revealed to Jeremy Borash that NFL star Pacman Jones is the former world champion returning to Impact Wrestling this week.
November 6, 2013
"We're not talking. We're not on good terms. I have no respect for them whatsoever. I strongly dislike management there like with the exception of Jeff Jones who is a great guy. But the booker (Hunter Johnson) is completely inadequate at his job and he got his job more for being spineless than being talented. And the owner (Joe Koff) is even worse, he could care less about wrestling. He just wants to do television. To me, it's just not something I agree with but I'm not there anymore and they do their own thing. And for the talent and the fans I wish them nothing but the best of luck. That company is in business not because of stellar booking and stellar management. They're in business still because they'they're spineless. The talent there is phenomenal. They're top notch and great. But the management from the booker to the owner it's definitely shut up and do what you're told and drink the Kool-aid. I made a joke when I was there I called it Jim Jones wrestling. Just shut up and drink the Kool-aid and do your job. In private, people are going this sucks this sucks this sucks and I'm the one who came out and said this is terrible. I worked for that company and gave them everything I had for seven years. I think I earned my right to an opinion. Once that got out, it was like you're going against the stream? You're not here to have an opinion, just shut up and do your job and get your paycheck. I'm sure you can find someone else to do that for a lot less money than what you're paying me so I'm just going to go about my way. Best decision I ever made and I have no desire to go back, ever." - Davey Richards talks about the backstage politics in ROH
March 8, 2014
"I don't know any facts on CM Punk. I had the honor of wrestling Punk in his first main events in WWE, including a cage match in Madison Square Garden. I have always enjoyed Punk and being around him. I certainly wish him the best. Hope he comes back, but whatever happens, my best to him." - JBL discussing the backstage heat situation involving CM Punk
March 8, 2014
"I mean I started training in a shipping warehouse, and I'm in Wrestlemania XXX this year, in front of millions of people worldwide, you know? I spent a few years cutting my teeth in the Midwest, I worked for Ring of Honor, then I went down to Florida and relearned everything there. It wasn't different, but the crowds are bigger now. The paychecks are nicer, but that's not really why I do it, so it doesn't make much of a difference for me." - Seth Rollins talks about being in Wrestlemania 30
March 7, 2014
"I love this business! You got to be willing to make a 16 hour drive one way to South Dakota to work in front of eight Indians for $50. Of course, I wouldn't do that now, not even for $1000, but that's the proper way to come up in wrestling. Got to love this shit, man." - Karl Anderson explaining the wrestling business
March 6, 2014
"For the record, I am not making any personal appearances at any events. Someone is spreading some bullshit suggesting that I am. Save your money. I don't know who started this nonsense, but I have not had a conversation with anyone about any appearances." - Eric Bischoff warning fans
March 6, 2014
"I think the concern comes getting one and coming back too quickly while you're still damaged. WWE has been so in depth and so over the top with protecting everyone that even when I was medically cleared, they still waited much longer to make sure I was fully recovered. As far as we know, medically cleared for weeks before I ever got back in the ring to check it out. We go above and beyond knowing what we know now about concussions and if I had any concerns, there is no way in hell I'd be back in the ring. My brain is way too smart to get it ruined. We've taken precautions and I took my sweet time getting back in that ring and now I feel like a million bucks." - Dolph Ziggler discusses concussions
February 27, 2014
I would love to call a match at WrestleMania. If I was being greedy, I'd love to call anything the Undertaker does at WrestleMania until he's no longer doing it. But without sounding overly pessimistic, I just don't see that happening. I hope I'm wrong. I'm ready to go do it. But I do think somewhere along the way, I'm gonna broadcast something." - Jim Ross on his desire to work Wrestlemania 30
February 27, 2014
"Amazing how people can turn their failures as human beings into hatred of people making the most of life. Losers. Fuck them! I don't mind the boos. Just a shame that people cannot separate rumors and gossip from the shows. Kind of takes the fun out of it." - Batista on the heat that he has from the fans
February 27, 2014
"I am extremely disappointed in the WWE for not acknowledging the passing of Nelson Frazier, also known as Big Daddy V, also known as Viscera, also known as Mabel. Brother put in too much time and deserved at least a Rest in Peace package. I understand there is something on Smackdown, but it should have been on Monday Night Raw, the flagship." - Shelton Benjamin on the death of his friend being neglected

"I thought it was awesome. I love the kid. He was having the time of his life because he was a fan of all of us. So he couldn't wait for the Vader Bomb or the Diamond Cutter. I mean he loved it. And he's a good kid, he's a damn good worker. I hope at some point he actually gets the push. He could back it up because he can talk and he can work." - Diamond Dallas Page on how Heath Slater is backstage

Geography Home
B.A. Geography, 1970 firstname.lastname@example.com
Geography has been good to me. After returning from Vietnam, I took my degree in geography and began work with the US Army Corps of Engineers. I wrote recreation plans, environmental impact statements, permits, flood control plans, and emergency operations plans. For the last 22 years I have been the senior environmental manager at Edwards AFB in California. Edwards AFB has the largest and most comprehensive environmental program in the Air Force with a very complete GIS and remote sensing staff. And to think, this all started with an Introduction to Geography.

I needed a little sizing advice before ordering, and the staff were very obliging, taking measurements of the garment for me, enabling me to order the correct size with confidence.
One of the biggest problems with ordering clothing online is of course sizing/fit, so those retailers who take that extra trouble to help in that regard are much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Criminal Trial Begins for CERN Scientist
29 March 2012 4:57 pm
PARIS—Particle physicist Adlène Hicheur, accused by French authorities of "associating with criminals in relation to terrorist activities," went on trial in Paris today. Police arrested the 35-year-old, Algerian-born scientist, who works for CERN in Switzerland on 8 October 2009 as he was reportedly on his way to Algeria to buy a plot of land. Hicheur has languished in Fresnes prison, near Paris, since then.
This is not a good time to begin the trial, argues Hicheur's lawyer, Patrick Baudouin. France is still recovering from the slaughter earlier this month of seven children and soldiers in Toulouse and Montauban by an Islamic radical, Mohamed Merah. The two cases are very different but could become mixed in the public mind, Baudouin warns. In an interview with French radio this morning, Baudouin said that he had wanted to ask that the trial be postponed, but that Hicheur had refused because he was eager to explain his side.
Hicheur, whose brother Halim is also a scientist, was under surveillance by the French intelligence services in 2008 after exchanging e-mails in Arabic with Mustafa Debchi, a supposed member of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, according to news reports.
Although Hicheur had "not participated in preparations" for any terrorist acts, Baudouin said, he admitted on the radio and in other interviews that Hicheur had mentioned "objectives that could be pursued," such as energy groups Total and Suez, as well as a military battalion based in Annecy, in the French Alps. Baudouin said Hicheur's comments were "perhaps debatable, disputable, open to criticism," partly because translations of the scientist's e-mails into French were "approximate or incorrect." In an interview with the Associated Press published on the website of the French newsweekly Le Nouvel Observateur, Baudouin also charged that attempts had been made to buy witnesses.
An international committee has been organized to support Hicheur that includes Jack Steinberger, the 1988 Nobel Prize winner for physics. When the judicial investigation was completed last year, the group had gathered 400 signatures on a petition backing Hicheur.
If found guilty, Hicheur could face a prison sentence of 10 years.

Tue Jan 29, 2013 8:43 pm Ravens LG Jah Reid (toe, injured reserve) underwent surgery on Tuesday, but expects to be ready for OTAs.
Fantasy Source Spin: "It's a good prognosis, I'll be ready for minicamps definitely," Reid said. "I just started a three-month rehab. I don't know exactly when it's going to be. I'll be fine for next season." Coming off an up-and-down sophomore campaign, Reid won't be guaranteed a starting job next summer.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Fri Jan 11, 2013 11:31 am Ravens placed LG Jah Reid (toe) on injured reserve, ending his season.
Fantasy Source Spin: Reid was inactive last week, as the Ravens offensive line played one of its best games of the year with Bryant McKinnie at left tackle and Kelechi Osemele at left guard. The Ravens wanted Reid to run with the starting job, but he's not yet one of the team's best five linemen. He may have to compete for a starting job in training camp. CB Asa Jackson was activated from suspension in a corresponding move.
Thu Nov 29, 2012 6:35 pm Jah Reid has ousted veteran Bobbie Williams as the Ravens' starting left guard.
Fantasy Source Spin: Reid has been a liability in three starts, committing three penalties, allowing six QB pressures and two more QB hits. The Ravens will give their 2011 third-rounder a chance to turn it around, but they have to turn back to Williams for the playoffs.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Thu Nov 1, 2012 2:35 pm Ravens OG Jah Reid (calf) has resumed practicing fully for the first time since August.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Ravens won't shuffle their offensive line, but coach John Harbaugh indicted that Reid will be worked into the mix behind veteran LG Bobbie Williams on Sunday versus the Browns.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Sat Sep 8, 2012 6:21 pm Ravens G/T Jah Reid (calf) is listed as doubtful for Week 1 against the Bengals.
Fantasy Source Spin: Reid hasn't practiced since the Ravens' second preseason game and won't play in the season opener. Fifth-round pick rookie CB Asa Jackson (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday Night Football. After missing significant time, Reid is a candidate for the weekly inactives.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Sat Aug 18, 2012 11:16 am Ravens G/T Jah Reid had a setback with his troublesome right calf in Friday's preseason game.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's Reid's second aggravation of an injury he originally suffered in minicamp. If Reid can't get healthy in a hurry, he could find himself on the roster bubble at final cuts.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Mon Aug 13, 2012 3:53 pm Ravens G/T Jah Reid (calf) made his training camp debut on Monday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Reid was sidelined after aggravating an offseason injury right before camp. Out of the running for starting jobs, the 2011 third-rounder will provide depth at both guard and tackle.
Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter
Wed Aug 8, 2012 4:04 pm Ravens T/G Jah Reid has yet to practice in training camp due to a strained right calf.
Fantasy Source Spin: Reid suffered the injury during spring practices, and had a setback right before training camp started. He opened camp on the active/PUP and will stay there until he passes a physical and conditioning test. No longer a serious contender for a starting job, it's fair to wonder if Reid might be on the roster bubble.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Thu Jun 14, 2012 6:00 pm Ravens T/G Jah Reid strained his right calf in Thursday's practice.
Fantasy Source Spin: The diagnosis is a relief after Reid crumpled to the ground and had to be carted off the practice field. Although Reid was expected to compete for the starting left guard job, his offseason practice reps came at right tackle with Bryant McKinnie working on his conditioning.
Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter
Sat Mar 24, 2012 4:06 pm Ravens coach John Harbaugh has confirmed he would be "comfortable" with OT Jah Reid at left guard.
Fantasy Source Spin: The 6-7, 327-pound 2011 third-round pick had been speculated as the Ravens' top in-house option to replace Ben Grubbs, and it's indeed the case. The Ravens are up against the salary cap, but could still take one or two lost-cost fliers on interior linemen, and are nearly certain to spend at least one draft pick on a guard. Reid will face competition.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Sat Mar 17, 2012 4:24 pm The Baltimore Sun believes OT Jah Reid could be the Ravens' top in-house option to replace departed LG Ben Grubbs.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Ravens went hard after free agent LG Evan Mathis, but he opted to re-sign with the Eagles Saturday. A 2011 third-round pick, Reid was active for all 16 games as a rookie, but played a total of seven snaps. At 6-7, 327 pounds, Reid would be huge for a guard. The Ravens figure to spend at least one draft pick on a guard.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Mon Aug 22, 2011 9:46 pm According to the Baltimore Sun, "from all indications," the Ravens have scrapped the idea of making rookie Jah Reid their starting right tackle.
Fantasy Source Spin: Per beat writer Mike Preston, the Ravens now view Mark LeVoir as a potential alternative after signing him following his release from the Patriots. LeVoir has reportedly already proven a better pass blocker than Reid in Ravens practice. Moving Marshal Yanda to right tackle is looking more and more likely.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Fri Aug 12, 2011 12:42 am Rookie OT Jah Reid struggled mightily in pass protection in Thursday's preseason opener against the Eagles.
Fantasy Source Spin: Reid couldn't keep the pressure off Tyrod Taylor, showing slow feet and poor technique. The Baltimore Sun suggests the third-rounder is "more of a project than an immediate solution." That's a problem because starting RT Oniel Cousins continues to get beat like a drum, and LT Michael Oher couldn't stop Trent Cole. The Ravens tackles are a potential stumbling block this season.
Sun Jul 31, 2011 8:40 am Beat writer Aaron Wilson believes third-round pick Jah Reid could end up starting at right tackle in Week 1.
Fantasy Source Spin: Oniel Cousins will be in camp Thursday and then the competition will be on. Reid has much more upside as the younger player with the bigger frame, and Cousins could end up finding himself without a roster spot.
Source: Carroll County Times
Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:11 pm Ravens signed third-round OT Jah Reid to a four-year contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: With free agent Jared Gaither likely bolting, Reid is going to have to get up to speed quickly. He jumped right in with the first team offense at right tackle in Thursday's practice. At 6'7/327, Reid certainly has the body to hold his own immediately.
Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter
Sat Jun 25, 2011 5:33 pm Ravens coach John Harbaugh has confirmed that third-round pick Jah Reid will get a chance to earn the Ravens' starting right tackle job.
Fantasy Source Spin: "He'll be competing for the right tackle spot right out of the gates, and we'll see where it goes," Harbaugh said. The Ravens may have no other choice if both Jared Gaither and Marshal Yanda, who appear set to become unrestricted free agents, do not return.
Source: Baltimore Sun
Wed May 11, 2011 9:31 am GM Ozzie Newsome suggested there was no other tackle in the draft that excited the Ravens more than third-rounder Jah Reid.
Fantasy Source Spin: "So we wanted to make sure we got him," said Newsome. "The two things Jah brings are his size and his arm length; that's very important for a tackle." Reid will start out competing for the right tackle job, but he could prove to be a better fit down the line at left tackle.
Source: PressBoxOnline.com
Fri Apr 29, 2011 10:28 pm The Ravens confirmed that third-round OT Jah Reid is expected to compete for the right tackle job as a rookie.
Fantasy Source Spin: At the very least he's insurance if Jared Gaither's free agency ends up unrestricted. The Ravens view Reid as a player with "room to grow" if he's thrown into the fire from Day One. Michael Oher is staying on the blindside after noticeably struggling at times last season.

It was a rare occurrence. With every account caught up, I stood at the counter, mixing cookies.
Grinding oatmeal in the blender, I smiled, thinking of the boys' delight. They'd be surprised, seeing the counters full, and they'd head straight for the milk.
Wasn't it every child's birthright, I thought, to be greeted with fresh chocolate-chip cookies just once in awhile when they got off the bus? Oh, it was, for nothing said, "I'm happy to see you," and, "You are welcome here," quite like that. In the cold, hard world of peer pressure and homework, warm cookies and a smiling mama went a long way in helping a fellow recover.
Childhood. Birthrights. Hopes, dreams and societal expectations. The words tangled yarn like in my mind, standing there in my kitchen.
Things down here were skewed. Did every generation swing like a pendulum, trying to correct the mistakes of the one before? From an era where verbal affirmation and "I love you's" were rare, it had become the norm to reward token effort. To pin a ribbon on mediocrity. To applaud the slightest participation so as not to damage a psyche.
Conversely, there was tremendous pressure placed on children to excel in academics and sports. To know what they wanted to be as freshmen. To top out their SAT scores, earning top-notch scholarships. To be superstars in something. After all, wasn't it a birthright, that kind of success?
But what if you were average? Not the best, not the worst? What if you weren't the shiniest star, the smartest scholar? What if you didn't dominate on court or field or (there was this) didn't care to? What then?
In the grown-up world, did one's life count for less if he wasn't a CEO or if he did manual labor? If she cleaned houses for others or stayed home to raise babies? On the grand cosmic scale, if there was one, were there fewer points for an average life with simple achievements? For an ordinary existence, an unremarkable passing with nothing outstanding to mark what you'd done?
And your kids — what if they were average, too? Did it make you a failure as a mom or a dad? How did one measure, and who got to say?
As the mother of two young adults, I've come to realize how much pressure there is to raise superstar kids. To produce high-end scholars who go on to college, then successful careers. To have standout children with great resumes. And I'd like that and more for my sons.
Here, we believe in best effort, in striving for excellence. We teach perseverance and personal responsibility. We encourage their giftings and applaud their successes. But what if, in spite of all we've attempted (and all they've done, too), our kids are still average? Then what?
In thinking this over since the day I baked cookies, here's what I've come to: I'd rather have average children devoted to a far-more-than-average God than to have geniuses, Olympians or the country's next president. If my sons grow up to follow the Lord; to love Him with heart, mind, and soul, then that shall be their success. If they lead in their circles, whether large or quite small. If they influence others, advancing the kingdom, then that shall be our success, too.
There's much I don't know, but this one thing I do. That's this, that God has a history of choosing the average; of picking the least, the last, the unlikely to do the above-average things, to be movers and shakers, to do the impossible. That's what'd I'd choose for my boys.
I know this as well. When the average is placed in the hands of God—when the "super" meets the "natural" — that's when big things happen. Shepherd boys kill giants. Three hundred beat an army. Peter walks on water, and a harlot changes history. It's supernatural when the "average" do that.
Now, what about you? Do you think you're just average, unfit and unqualified? Do you feel you've not got what it takes? Think God cannot use you with your past, with your history? Well, good. Then you're set for success.
Here's why. It doesn't depend on you. It's that simple. All it takes is a "yes." "Yes" to surrender. "Yes" to obedience. "Yes" to just doing His will.
When your life is a "yes," then He does the rest. He empowers, enables. Gives wisdom, direction. Takes the loaves, takes the fish, and then comes the increase.
Do you have average children? Then give thanks and take heart. The wonderfully creative God we serve knows how to use our sons and daughters for his glory. He is able to strengthen their weaknesses and to bless what they do. Just as he does it for us.
We have the unspeakable privilege, you and I, of teaching these truths to the next generation. By placing our own average selves into his hands, by living the "yes," He will give the increase, and the average shall become supernatural.

To commemorate the new Chinese year, which is the "Year of the Horse", which starts January 31, 2014, BMW has decided to put out a new special edition M car for the Chinese market.
Welcome the BMW M5 and M6 Horse Edition.
BMW will make only 30 copies of the special edition BMW M5 only for the Chinese market. The Horse Edition will feature a unique horse character into the headrests
Hagerty, a leading insurance provider for classic vehicles, has named the F10 M5 as a future classic. They have this to say about the F10 M5:
"A performance-oriented sedan with an old school manual transmission is quickly becoming an extinct species. While more drivers shun the thought of using three pedals, we applaud BMW for keeping this option alive in this segment."
CAR Magazine pits the F10 M5 (standard, non-competition) against the Audi RS6 Avant.
On paper, the RS6 is a rocket. But consider this: the true test of a great driver
Contender: BMW 5 Series
By: Jonny Lieberman
We Like: Abusive amounts of power result in skull-cracking acceleration.
We Don't Like: Hefty, complex, and surprisingly numb.
We were quite excited to get our hands on the updated 528i and the new 535d. We'd had a not-very-loved long-term 528i, and hoped the refresh would fix some of what we didn't like (i.e., stop/start). And we're cuckoo for diesels. Sad to say, BMW couldn't get us either car in time for Car of the Year. It did, however, happen to have the new M5 Competition lying around. For $7300 over the $95,125 base price, you get an additional 15 hp; a new, sportier-sounding exhaust system; 10mm-lower ride height from a revised suspension; and 20-inch lightweight alloy wheels. If that seems … CONTINUED
RIP F10 M5 Ring Taxi. The circumstances behind the crash are not yet known, but the good news is that nobody was seriously hurt in this crash.
On this episode of Head 2 Head Jonny Lieberman is joined by Mike Shaffer and two extremely potent hyper sedans, the 2014 BMW M5 Competition and the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Model. Between the two of them, these two mighty Germans produce 1152horsepower and 1092 pound-feet of torque. On paper. After a day of horsing around/testing Shaffer and Lieberman grow suspicious of each twin-turbo V-8′s actual output. So, they take them to the dyno gurus at K&N engineering to learn what's what. The results very well may shock and amaze you. However, the boys come to the conclusion that numbers are only exactly that: only numbers, and numbers only matter so much. One true test of a super sedan is how it handles … CONTINUED

If you have a table for each section, each time you want to add a section you have to create a new table.
If you have one table that contains the name and ID of all the sections in your forum and another that contains all the posts in the forum (and which section they are in), all you need to do (if you've coded for it already) is add another entry in your sections table to create a new section.
Also by having things in separate tables you aren't really spreading the load as you still will be doing about the same number of read and writes.
If have separate tables and you then also want to add search functionality across the sections, you would have to search through each table, rather than just one.

Personally I hope this doesn't happen, in the long run the acquisition of R.H. by AOL will likely see the demise of Red Hat as a viable WWW server and business server. Many businesses have embraced Linux on the server if not on the desktop, I can't see AOL maintaining a structure and focus that would give business users any comfort in continuing to use it. Further I don't believe AOL has demonstrated any sense of community with the WWW, and would not care if all of the other ISP's disappeared from the face of the earth, who by the way, overwhelmingly use R.H. Linux as their OS. I am of the opinion that if the various Linux distributions all gradually end up acquired by one big company or another, the impact of Linux will be weakened, AOL may want to punish MS but their core competency is not OSes. If IBM, or HP, or Sun were to acquire distributions it would be to push their expensive hardware while satisfying the "mee too" element of businesses that need to show an awareness and adoption of what is perceived to be cheaper and leading edge technology. Remember these companies already give away their operating systems, AIX (IBM), HP/UX (HP), SOlaris (Sun), AOL has supplied the entire world with multiple "coasters" with their incessant give away of the latest AOL version. That's not where the money is for these companies. The way I see it, the acquisition of any Linux distribution by the big boys at this time is not good news. IMO the power of Linux as a competing operating system and more importantly a competing paradigm, lies in the fact that it runs on commodotitized hardware, and that much of the software is free. This threatens both the software and hardware communities and can only mean one thing, Linux is in for the ride of it's life, but maybe a short life.

Harmonix and EA certainly hit a pop-culture nerve with Rock Band, and the latest bit of proof has been the incredible response the Rock Band Network has seen since its launch last month. X-Play's Abbie Heppe sat down with Harmonix's John Drake to find out more about how Rock Band Network is fairing post-launch.
"We're nearing 200 songs right now in just under a month, which is pretty crazy. We catching up quickly to the Rock Band regular DLC releases in terms of the amount of content. And you know, we are really proud of how well things are selling, how passionate the community is, and how different arists – both big and small – are all in the same store kicking around."

Ordered a tap from here and was told it would be delivered on the following Friday. To cut a long story short they didn't even have the product in stock but only admitted this to me 10 days later (which has held up my project considerably). Called to complain and after being hung up on twice finally spoke to the manager who told me he would "kick me all over Bradford" if he ever met me. Utterly rude, unprofessional and complete cowboys. Looking at the "positive" reviews below, I suspect they are written by employees as there is no way these jokers know anything about positive customer service.

This is a staple at our house as a simple flavorful pork dish. Tenderloin stays nice and juicy, and does not take long to prep. Great mid-week meal.
Not that great, I thought the flavors didn't blend well, the orange zest predominated, followed by the miso.I thought it needed something and added 1-2 TB of white wine, which did help, but not really worth making again. It was easy, however, and the pork was tender.
Easily one of the most delicious pork dishes I have ever had...we were literally licking our plates clean!

Charlie Sheen should serve more time behind bars, according to a close friend of his wife Brooke Mueller. RadarOnline.com has learned that while Charlie made a deal with the District Attorney to spend 30 days in jail he could spend only 17 day in jail, with various factors allowing him to shorten his sentence.
"That doesn't seem enough considering the charges." said our source.
Sheen is accused of attacking Mueller on Christmas and holding a knife to her throat. He will enter a 'no contest/guilty' plea on Monday to a single misdemeanor charge in exchange for the felony charge against him being dropped.
PHOTOS: Charlie Sheen Through The Years
"If nothing else comes of this, at least he will be sober and off drugs for the duration of his jail time," Brooke pal told RadarOnline.com.
AUDIO: Brooke Mueller's 911 Call
If the star is jailed it is likely he will be housed at Pitkin County Jail in Colorado which is regarded as one of the cushiest jails in America.
The facility is decked out with plants, spacious living areas, a gym, plus televisions and other amenities. Amazingly, when not locked in their cells, inmates are allowed to mingle with the opposite sex in shared living areas – something that would no doubt appeal to Sheen.
"I just hope that this is a wake up call to him. He needs to be nice to Brooke and treat her with the respect she deserves," the source said. "
If both people take part in getting the help they need I can see a bright future for all involved."
PHOTOS: Charlie's House in Aspen
Sheen will be required to appear at the Aspen courthouse on June 7 to enter the plea. He could potentially begin serving his jail sentence the same day the plea is entered.

In what some are calling the biggest patent law decision in a decade, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that patent owners are not necessarily entitled to a permanent injunction against another company using the patent in commerce. By siding with eBay in the case eBay v. MercExchange, the court tipped the balance toward companies that actually use patented innovations, and away from inventors, their estates and so-called "patent trolls."
Patent trolls make money by buying patents on various bits of technology and threatening litigation against companies that use that innovation. The companies are forced to either pay a license--often far more than the patent is worth--or face a permanent injunction against using it.
A U.S. district court ruled that eBay had indeed violated a patent owned by tiny, Virginia-based MercExchange. However, it ruled that eBay could use the innovation until it had a chance to design around it. A federal appellate court overthrew that ruling, following procedure for granting a permanent injunction whenever there's a patent infringement. But the Supreme Court reversed the decision, declaring that district courts may consider several factors in these cases, focusing on traditional doctrines of equity--in other words, what's fair. And that's good news for companies.

The Department of Art and Art History offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art with a concentration in Art History. To prepare students for a wide range of careers and graduate study, the undergraduate degree program emphasizes skills in critical thinking and visual literacy and a broad knowledge of art history across time periods and cultures. For the concentration, students are required to take courses in a variety of areas including Western and Asian art. The curriculum is diverse and ranges from survey courses to special topics seminars. Museum studies, internships, study abroad and field studies (including Italy, India, and New York) are also offered. Upper-level class sizes are small allowing students the opportunity for close interaction with faculty and peers. The art history concentration also requires two years of university-level study or equivalent proficiency in a language, complementing a student's area of focus. Recent graduates have gone on to work in museums, galleries, non-profit organizations, and other cultural institutions, or have pursued further graduate study in art history, arts education, historic preservation, arts management, and library science.
Important area resources for art history students include the UAB Visual Arts Gallery, the Birmingham Museum of Art, the Westervelt-Warner Museum of American Art, and numerous local and regional art spaces and galleries. The department also maintains a regular program of visiting artists, scholars, and critics.
The department offers the John Schnorrenberg Scholarship in art history for undergraduate students.
