Arizona Trail Run Series Starts This WeekendEstrella Mountain race is first of four events for 2012-13 season The XTERRA Arizona Trail Run Series will begin its third season this weekend, with more than 300 runners expected to hit the trails at Estrella Mountain Park in Goodyear, Ariz. The XTERRA Estrella Mountain Trail Run is set for Sunday, October 7, and it will be the first of four events in the 2012-13 season for the XTERRA Arizona Trail Run Series. Every event in the series is open to runners of all ages and skill levels. This weekend's event will feature two courses - a 20-kilometer course for experienced runners, and an 8-kilometer course for less-experienced runners and sprinters. The Arizona Series has seen significant growth during its first two years. Last season, there was an average of more than 300 runners per event, and runners from 18 different states (other than Arizona) participated. "I'm so happy to see that the sport is catching on and others are gaining a similar appreciation for the sport as I have," said Jeanine Cordova, who won her age division (30-34) at every race in the series last season. "There are so many beautiful places to explore out here within minutes of driving." After this weekend's race, other events will follow in January, February and March of 2013. Each event in the series will offer a long course and a short course to accommodate the various levels of runners. The top runners in each respective age group will earn points at each race toward the overall standings. At the conclusion of the series, the top runner in each age group will be declared an Arizona Series Champion, and will earn a free entry to represent Arizona at the 2013 XTERRA Trail Run National Championship. Arizona is one of 13 regions that are hosting an XTERRA Trail Run Series for the 2012-13 season. The others are Alabama, Northern California, Southern California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pacific Northwest, Pocono, Puerto Rico, South Carolina and Texas.

Rapid application development with Ruby and Glade
Application development shouldn't be a chore. We'll show you how to simplify the development process with the Ruby programming language and the Glade interface design utility.
For even the most experienced developers, the drudgery of the edit-compile-test cycle can become very oppressive. Fortunately, an assortment of open source tools cuts the fat out of the development process by helping programmers focus on functionality instead of on all the arbitrary implementation details. With dynamic programming languages and versatile interface design utilities, even relatively inexperienced programmers can build complex applications with little effort. One promising combination of tools is the Ruby language and the Glade interface development system.

Revenge Review: Rules of Engagement
by Miranda Wicker at .I've started and stopped and erased and restarted this Revenge review at least four times. That's how many directions my brain is going in as a testament to the fact that "Engagement" was such a good episode I can't complete a coherent thought.
Seriously. So good.
I have so many questions right now, chief among them?
What did Aiden just do?
Aiden killed Takeda, guys. Killed him. With a sword through the throat. Maybe chest. But Aiden killed his mentor.
I had to slap my hand over my mouth and stifle a gasp.
In Aiden's defense, Takeda did try to kill him first. And he sent a file to Daniel to reveal Aiden's identity as the son of Trevor Mathis, baggage handler. And Takeda told Aiden to leave Ems alone because this was her mission to complete by herself.
(And he wasn't the real Takeda anyway. Did you Revenge casting people think we wouldn't notice?)
The way Aiden kept talking to Takeda, it was like he had been with Takeda for longer than Emily, but that's not true since she's the one who asked Takeda to help him when she was sent on her first mission and ended up rescuing Ashley. But still, he seemed to feel that Takeda would never be done with them, so he took matters into his own hands and decided that they would be done with Takeda.
I can't even begin to think of how Emily will react when she finds out that Aiden killed Takeda. Sure, she was mad at Takeda for telling her that she needed to get rid of Aiden, but I can't say she'll be pleased to learn of his untimely demise.
Now that he's dead, I'm more interested in him than ever. What was his plan that seemed to be greater than Emily's? What did the Initiative take from him? What nefarious scheme was Aiden alluding to right before he took Takeda out?
All of these questions and no Takeda to answer them. And no electricity for Nolan to use his hacker Google to find out.
The Fa1c0n, ever the tricky one, built a trigger into the Amanda Clarke Foundation and Carrion. When and if someone should try to drain the foundation's account, Carrion would be triggered, starting the next phase of the Initiative's plan.
Which is exactly what Nolan and Aiden did; take all the Grayson's money and turn out the lights in New York.
I know Aiden wants to get Emily to give up her revengenda, however this is not at all the way for him to go about it.
I doubt she'd listen if he explained to her how he felt after killing Trask or begged her to walk away, but would it have hurt him to try that first? It's not like the Graysons won't self-destruct eventually on their own.
I'm slightly confused by the leaked audio of the current governor's wife talking about the governor's heart condition. It seemed like Victoria recorded the conversation and then handed it over to Conrad, but then again, I kind of think she could have leaked that audio herself and just told Jack that Conrad did it. Either way, she's planning to derail his campaign, or says she is.
If Daniel hadn't rescued Charlotte, she'd be on her way to tanking Daddy's campaign herself, first by making out with a female schoolmate under the glaring lenses of the paparazzi and now by following in Mommy Dearest's teenage footsteps.
Charlotte is pregnant.
I don't even know what to do with that information aside from just putting it out there. Charlotte is pregnant with, I assume, Declan's baby. Things are about to get way cramped in the two-bedroom apartment above the bar.
Other Revenge-y goodness:
- I don't love Daniel and Emily together, so their engagement is sort of "meh" for me. But I did love Victoria calling Emily out on not looking like a woman in love. It's one of those weird moments where we see Victoria as someone who has loved before, and been loved, enough to know love when she sees it. Emily's deflection didn't work.
- Emily and Jack's conversation on the porch was kind of heartbreaking. He can handle the truth about her identity and why she's there. It's time he knows her secret.
- Nolan, as always, was amazing.

Nolan is the worst hacker/cracker I've seen on television. Hacking a computer/network is not just about sitting at your laptop and running hacker software, you have to do the leg work. If they wanted the password to the Greyson account, they could have spied on the Greysons through a number of other measures to get it. Watch the second version of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo it gives you a pretty good idea. Banks overall are not easy to hack into, ESPECIALLY banks for billionaires. Nolan I like as a character, however he needs to step up if he wanted to know what the initiative was up to with his program, go and find out by finding their base of operations and accessing their network.
I have to say, all those transitional episodes were worth it. TAKEDA MUST DIE. If you don't know by now that Takeda sending Emily to the Hamptons and then Aiden after to her had nefarious purposes then you are 2 steps behind. Aiden gets a gold star by figuring it out. The student must sometimes kill the master especially when the master is evil. Don't you watch martial arts movies? Look, some people only want the original cast but people we must evolve, Emily had ten years to train for this, she has a long life filled with people that we don't know about that have helped her along the way. Who we will eventually meet over the seasons.
OKAY !!! I had some catching up to do but damn, the city that never slpeeps is SLEEPING !!! WTF !!! and did I see right? $3 Bil looool.
Anywho Charlotte is preggers? how ironic ! Her mom was too at that age, different circumstances I assume. Is Declan the father? what is she gonna do?
I felt bad for Vic the previous episode...the way Daniel treated her after the truth got out... bleh, I hate the guy, every time I see him Ems, makes me gag ! Totally unexpected when Vic showed up at Nolan's office...
Can't believe Aiden killed Takeada-sensei !!! I agree, he's got a temper, and that same temper caused the activation of Carrion...
The Falcon is a woman !!! Loved it ! But I have to consider her as a foe.
Man, Ems NEEDS to tell Jack. Coz the whole thing is starting to smell REAL bad !!! Man the finale is gonna ROCK !!! It better !
Please can Charlotte just R.I.P already....NOBODY likes her. Or Spaniel can go too....he is only high and mighty when he has someone else do his dirty work and then he acts all cool....but the boy is really weak no matter what facade he puts up. But in all honesty, revenge needs to get its shit together for s3...s2 has been great at times, but mostly confusing. Way too many extra characters and too much ado about nothing when it came to Ems's mother, The Initiative and The Falcon.
MINDBLOWING. But i dont understand what a city blackout has to do with anything? Or im just kind of lost? Someone explain please? lol
It has been explained over last half the season.
Its because of Nolan's virus, Carrion, which they handed over to Initiative. Falcon most likely made it so that transferring funds would trigger it.

It was an amazing comeback - McDermott

First, a quote:
Our units of temporal measurement, from seconds on up to months, are so complicated, asymmetrical and disjunctive so as to make coherent mental reckoning in time all but impossible. Indeed, had some tyrannical god contrived to enslave our minds to time, to make it all but impossible for us to escape subjection to sodden routines and unpleasant surprises, he could hardly have done better than handing down our present system. It is like a set of trapezoidal building blocks, with no vertical or horizontal surfaces, like a language in which the simplest thought demands ornate constructions, useless particles and lengthy circumlocutions. Unlike the more successful patterns of language and science, which enable us to face experience boldly or at least level-headedly, our system of temporal calculation silently and persistently encourages our terror of time.
… It is as though architects had to measure length in feet, width in meters and height in ells; as though basic instruction manuals demanded a knowledge of five different languages. It is no wonder then that we often look into our own immediate past or future, last Tuesday or a week from Sunday, with feelings of helpless confusion. …

A date is a string, possibly empty, containing many items separated by whitespace. The whitespace may be omitted when no ambiguity arises. The empty string means the beginning of today (i.e., midnight). Order of the items is immaterial. A date string may contain many flavors of items:
We describe each of these item types in turn, below.
A few ordinal numbers may be written out in words in some contexts. This is most useful for specifying day of the week items or relative items (see below). Among the most commonly used ordinal numbers, the word 'last' stands for -1, 'this' stands for 0, and 'first' and 'next' both stand for 1. Because the word 'second' stands for the unit of time there is no way to write the ordinal number 2, but for convenience 'third' stands for 3, 'fourth' for 4, 'fifth' for 5, 'sixth' for 6, 'seventh' for 7, 'eighth' for 8, 'ninth' for 9, 'tenth' for 10, 'eleventh' for 11 and 'twelfth' for 12.
When a month is written this way, it is still considered to be written numerically, instead of being "spelled in full"; this changes the allowed strings.
In the current implementation, only English is supported for words and abbreviations like 'AM', 'DST', 'EST', 'first', 'January', 'Sunday', 'tomorrow', and 'year'.
The output of the date
is not always acceptable as a date string,
not only because of the language problem, but also because there is no
standard meaning for time zone items like 'IST'. When using
to generate a date string intended to be parsed later,
specify a date format that is independent of language and that does not
use time zone items other than 'UTC' and 'Z'. Here are some
ways to do this:
$ LC_ALL=C TZ=UTC0 date Mon Mar 1 00:21:42 UTC 2004 $ TZ=UTC0 date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%SZ' 2004-03-01 00:21:42Z $ date --rfc-3339=ns # --rfc-3339 is a GNU extension. 2004-02-29 16:21:42.692722128-08:00 $ date --rfc-2822 # a GNU extension Sun, 29 Feb 2004 16:21:42 -0800 $ date +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z' # %z is a GNU extension. 2004-02-29 16:21:42 -0800 $ date +'@%s.%N' # %s and %N are GNU extensions. @1078100502.692722128 |
Alphabetic case is completely ignored in dates. Comments may be introduced between round parentheses, as long as included parentheses are properly nested. Hyphens not followed by a digit are currently ignored. Leading zeros on numbers are ignored.
Invalid dates like '2005-02-29' or times like '24:00' are rejected. In the typical case of a host that does not support leap seconds, a time like '23:59:60' is rejected even if it corresponds to a valid leap second.

A calendar date item specifies a day of the year. It is specified differently, depending on whether the month is specified numerically or literally. All these strings specify the same calendar date:
1972-09-24 # ISO 8601. 72-9-24 # Assume 19xx for 69 through 99, # 20xx for 00 through 68. 72-09-24 # Leading zeros are ignored. 9/24/72 # Common U.S. writing. 24 September 1972 24 Sept 72 # September has a special abbreviation. 24 Sep 72 # Three-letter abbreviations always allowed. Sep 24, 1972 24-sep-72 24sep72 |
The year can also be omitted. In this case, the last specified year is used, or the current year if none. For example:
9/24 sep 24 |
Here are the rules.
For numeric months, the ISO 8601 format 'year-month-day' is allowed, where year is any positive number, month is a number between 01 and 12, and day is a number between 01 and 31. A leading zero must be present if a number is less than ten. If year is 68 or smaller, then 2000 is added to it; otherwise, if year is less than 100, then 1900 is added to it. The construct 'month/day/year', popular in the United States, is accepted. Also 'month/day', omitting the year.
Literal months may be spelled out in full: 'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November' or 'December'. Literal months may be abbreviated to their first three letters, possibly followed by an abbreviating dot. It is also permitted to write 'Sept' instead of 'September'.
When months are written literally, the calendar date may be given as any of the following:
day month year day month month day year day-month-year |
Or, omitting the year:
month day |
[ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
A time of day item in date strings specifies the time on a given day. Here are some examples, all of which represent the same time:
20:02:00.000000 20:02 8:02pm 20:02-0500 # In EST (U.S. Eastern Standard Time). |
More generally, the time of day may be given as 'hour:minute:second', where hour is a number between 0 and 23, minute is a number between 0 and 59, and second is a number between 0 and 59 possibly followed by '.' or ',' and a fraction containing one or more digits. Alternatively, ':second' can be omitted, in which case it is taken to be zero. On the rare hosts that support leap seconds, second may be 60.
If the time is followed by 'am' or 'pm' (or 'a.m.' or 'p.m.'), hour is restricted to run from 1 to 12, and ':minute' may be omitted (taken to be zero). 'am' indicates the first half of the day, 'pm' indicates the second half of the day. In this notation, 12 is the predecessor of 1: midnight is '12am' while noon is '12pm'. (This is the zero-oriented interpretation of '12am' and '12pm', as opposed to the old tradition derived from Latin which uses '12m' for noon and '12pm' for midnight.)
The time may alternatively be followed by a time zone correction, expressed as 'shhmm', where s is '+' or '-', hh is a number of zone hours and mm is a number of zone minutes. The zone minutes term, mm, may be omitted, in which case the one- or two-digit correction is interpreted as a number of hours. You can also separate hh from mm with a colon. When a time zone correction is given this way, it forces interpretation of the time relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), overriding any previous specification for the time zone or the local time zone. For example, '+0530' and '+05:30' both stand for the time zone 5.5 hours ahead of UTC (e.g., India). This is the best way to specify a time zone correction by fractional parts of an hour. The maximum zone correction is 24 hours.
Either 'am'/'pm' or a time zone correction may be specified, but not both.

A time zone item specifies an international time zone, indicated by a small set of letters, e.g., 'UTC' or 'Z' for Coordinated Universal Time. Any included periods are ignored. By following a non-daylight-saving time zone by the string 'DST' in a separate word (that is, separated by some white space), the corresponding daylight saving time zone may be specified. Alternatively, a non-daylight-saving time zone can be followed by a time zone correction, to add the two values. This is normally done only for 'UTC'; for example, 'UTC+05:30' is equivalent to '+05:30'.
Time zone items other than 'UTC' and 'Z' are obsolescent and are not recommended, because they are ambiguous; for example, 'EST' has a different meaning in Australia than in the United States. Instead, it's better to use unambiguous numeric time zone corrections like '-0500', as described in the previous section.
If neither a time zone item nor a time zone correction is supplied, time stamps are interpreted using the rules of the default time zone (see section Specifying time zone rules).

The ISO 8601 date and time of day extended format consists of an ISO 8601 date, a 'T' character separator, and an ISO 8601 time of day. This format is also recognized if the 'T' is replaced by a space.
In this format, the time of day should use 24-hour notation. Fractional seconds are allowed, with either comma or period preceding the fraction. ISO 8601 fractional minutes and hours are not supported. Typically, hosts support nanosecond timestamp resolution; excess precision is silently discarded.
Here are some examples:
[ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
The explicit mention of a day of the week will forward the date (only if necessary) to reach that day of the week in the future.
Days of the week may be spelled out in full: 'Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday' or 'Saturday'. Days may be abbreviated to their first three letters, optionally followed by a period. The special abbreviations 'Tues' for 'Tuesday', 'Wednes' for 'Wednesday' and 'Thur' or 'Thurs' for 'Thursday' are also allowed.
A number may precede a day of the week item to move forward supplementary weeks. It is best used in expression like 'third monday'. In this context, 'last day' or 'next day' is also acceptable; they move one week before or after the day that day by itself would represent.
A comma following a day of the week item is ignored.
[ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
Relative items adjust a date (or the current date if none) forward or backward. The effects of relative items accumulate. Here are some examples:
1 year 1 year ago 3 years 2 days |
The unit of time displacement may be selected by the string 'year' or 'month' for moving by whole years or months. These are fuzzy units, as years and months are not all of equal duration. More precise units are 'fortnight' which is worth 14 days, 'week' worth 7 days, 'day' worth 24 hours, 'hour' worth 60 minutes, 'minute' or 'min' worth 60 seconds, and 'second' or 'sec' worth one second. An 's' suffix on these units is accepted and ignored.
The unit of time may be preceded by a multiplier, given as an optionally signed number. Unsigned numbers are taken as positively signed. No number at all implies 1 for a multiplier. Following a relative item by the string 'ago' is equivalent to preceding the unit by a multiplier with value -1.
The string 'tomorrow' is worth one day in the future (equivalent to 'day'), the string 'yesterday' is worth one day in the past (equivalent to 'day ago').
The strings 'now' or 'today' are relative items corresponding to zero-valued time displacement, these strings come from the fact a zero-valued time displacement represents the current time when not otherwise changed by previous items. They may be used to stress other items, like in '12:00 today'. The string 'this' also has the meaning of a zero-valued time displacement, but is preferred in date strings like 'this thursday'.
When a relative item causes the resulting date to cross a boundary where the clocks were adjusted, typically for daylight saving time, the resulting date and time are adjusted accordingly.
The fuzz in units can cause problems with relative items. For example, '2003-07-31 -1 month' might evaluate to 2003-07-01, because 2003-06-31 is an invalid date. To determine the previous month more reliably, you can ask for the month before the 15th of the current month. For example:
$ date -R Thu, 31 Jul 2003 13:02:39 -0700 $ date --date='-1 month' +'Last month was %B?' Last month was July? $ date --date="$(date +%Y-%m-15) -1 month" +'Last month was %B!' Last month was June! |
Also, take care when manipulating dates around clock changes such as
daylight saving leaps. In a few cases these have added or subtracted
as much as 24 hours from the clock, so it is often wise to adopt
universal time by setting the TZ
environment variable to
'UTC0' before embarking on calendrical calculations.

The precise interpretation of a pure decimal number depends on the context in the date string.
If the decimal number is of the form yyyymmdd and no other calendar date item (see section Calendar date items) appears before it in the date string, then yyyy is read as the year, mm as the month number and dd as the day of the month, for the specified calendar date.
If the decimal number is of the form hhmm and no other time of day item appears before it in the date string, then hh is read as the hour of the day and mm as the minute of the hour, for the specified time of day. mm can also be omitted.
If both a calendar date and a time of day appear to the left of a number in the date string, but no relative item, then the number overrides the year.
[ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
If you precede a number with '@', it represents an internal time stamp as a count of seconds. The number can contain an internal decimal point (either '.' or ','); any excess precision not supported by the internal representation is truncated toward minus infinity. Such a number cannot be combined with any other date item, as it specifies a complete time stamp.
Internally, computer times are represented as a count of seconds since an epoch—a well-defined point of time. On GNU and POSIX systems, the epoch is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, so '@0' represents this time, '@1' represents 1970-01-01 00:00:01 UTC, and so forth. GNU and most other POSIX-compliant systems support such times as an extension to POSIX, using negative counts, so that '@-1' represents 1969-12-31 23:59:59 UTC.
Traditional Unix systems count seconds with 32-bit two's-complement integers and can represent times from 1901-12-13 20:45:52 through 2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC. More modern systems use 64-bit counts of seconds with nanosecond subcounts, and can represent all the times in the known lifetime of the universe to a resolution of 1 nanosecond.
On most hosts, these counts ignore the presence of leap seconds. For example, on most hosts '@915148799' represents 1998-12-31 23:59:59 UTC, '@915148800' represents 1999-01-01 00:00:00 UTC, and there is no way to represent the intervening leap second 1998-12-31 23:59:60 UTC.

Normally, dates are interpreted using the rules of the current time
zone, which in turn are specified by the TZ
variable, or by a system default if TZ
is not set. To specify a
different set of default time zone rules that apply just to one date,
start the date with a string of the form 'TZ="rule"'. The
two quote characters ('"') must be present in the date, and any
quotes or backslashes within rule must be escaped by a
For example, with the GNU date
command you can
answer the question "What time is it in New York when a Paris clock
shows 6:30am on October 31, 2004?" by using a date beginning with
'TZ="Europe/Paris"' as shown in the following shell transcript:
$ export TZ="America/New_York" $ date --date='TZ="Europe/Paris" 2004-10-31 06:30' Sun Oct 31 01:30:00 EDT 2004 |
In this example, the '--date' operand begins with its own
setting, so the rest of that operand is processed according
to 'Europe/Paris' rules, treating the string '2004-10-31
06:30' as if it were in Paris. However, since the output of the
command is processed according to the overall time zone
rules, it uses New York time. (Paris was normally six hours ahead of
New York in 2004, but this example refers to a brief Halloween period
when the gap was five hours.)
value is a rule that typically names a location in the
'tz' database.
A recent catalog of location names appears in the
TWiki Date and Time Gateway. A few non-GNU hosts require a colon before a
location name in a TZ
setting, e.g.,
The 'tz' database includes a wide variety of locations ranging
from 'Arctic/Longyearbyen' to 'Antarctica/South_Pole', but
if you are at sea and have your own private time zone, or if you are
using a non-GNU host that does not support the 'tz'
database, you may need to use a POSIX rule instead. Simple
POSIX rules like 'UTC0' specify a time zone without
daylight saving time; other rules can specify simple daylight saving
regimes. See (libc)TZ Variable section `Specifying the Time Zone with TZ
' in The GNU C Library.

As another school year sets in, you may be thinking about the day in which you'll be sending your children off to college. Can you afford to help them pay for school while still saving for your own retirement?
The following is a list of property transfers in Bryan County for July 2010:
STATESBORO - Great Dane Trailers will bring 400 jobs to Statesboro.
A new manufacturing facility set to be built will bring the jobs over the next four years. Gov. Sonny Perdue says it's a $33.5 million investment.
James M. Floyd Jr., president and CEO of Liberty Shares, Inc. and The Heritage Bank, announced recently that Philip F. Resch has accepted the positions of chief financial officer for both companies. He took over the posts in July.
SAVANNAH - Given today's tough economy, more people are considering the benefits and rewards of small business ownership. While creating a solid business plan is a great start, would-be business owners often lack financial backing and the knowledge to identify and secure financing from other sources. To that end, Savannah Technical College is hosting a free "Open for Business" technical workshop at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 18.
Palmer Chiropractic celebrated its grand opening Tuesday in Richmond Hill and offers a full range of chiropractic services, according to Dr. Trace Palmer.
SAVANNAH - Sea Island Company has filed for federal bankruptcy protection with a plan to sell its luxury resorts that have been secluded getaways on the Georgia coast for wealthy travelers and American presidents since 1928.
The family-owned company filed a Chapter 11 plan in federal court Tuesday, saying it's unable to repay more than $600 million owed to to lenders including Synovus Bank, Bank of America and Bank of Scotland after the economic meltdown took a toll on Sea Island's resort and real-estate businesses.
Blistering summer days have air conditioning service professionals working up quite a sweat, answering more calls than usual in an attempt to keep area residents cool. As daytime temperatures continue to hover in the mid-90s with heat indexes up to 100 degrees, even afternoon rains give little relief when cool air is nowhere to be found.
SAVANNAH - Georgia Ports Authority Executive Director Curtis J. Foltz announced Monday that the GPA handled more than 2.63 million twenty-foot equivalent unit containers, added new services and maintained its position as the fourth-highest-volume container port in fiscal year 2010.

Your Grief Will Become Joy. Living Gospel Joy in the Real World
The word translated Gospel in English literally means Good News. Are we living in a way which gives testimony to the fact that living for Jesus Christ brings joy?
Christian Joy finds its root in the relationship we now have in and through Jesus Christ, with the Father, in the Holy Spirit. That relationship not only survives struggle, it thrives in struggle. That is, for those who have living faith. We can learn to rejoice because the Lord is always near. Let us really hear the words of Jesus in today's Gospel and believe they can be trusted. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to cultivate the fruit of Gospel joy within us. Let us embrace by grace the way of humility and find the happiness of heaven - beginning right here on earth.
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - On the day after the day when most of the Catholic Church celebrated the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord, our Gospel offered us these words from the Lord:
"Jesus said to his disciples: "Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn, while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy. When a woman is in labor, she is in anguish because her hour has arrived; but when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the pain because of her joy that a child has been born into the world."
"So you also are now in anguish. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. On that day you will not question me about anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you." (John 16: 20-23)
I addressed the deeper meaning of the Ascension yesterday in my homily entitled, The Feast of the Ascension is Not an Intermission. Now, I want to focus on the meaning and source of real Christian Joy.
The older I get, the more I realize that word - Joy - had a special meaning when used by Jesus to address the disciples. It still does. After all, we are his contemporary disciples. He still walks with us, instructs us and leads us in the Way.
Difficulties, stress, and painful experiences which, at first glance, can to cause us to respond with anything but joy, can be transformed in the life of a believer when we have living faith. They can become its very source through the power of the Holy Spirit.
They can contribute to what I am calling Gospel Joy. That is, if we invite the Holy Spirit to enlighten us in the midst of them, opening our eyes to find their purpose and lesson. Yes, also pray for them to either be removed or, if they are not, trust that the Lord Jesus Christ will accompany us through them.
Remember, the word translated Gospel in English literally means Good News. Are we living in a way which gives testimony to the fact that living for Jesus Christ brings joy?
St. Paul, a man who was certainly well acquainted with difficulty and suffering, told the early Christians - and tells us - " Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." (1 Thes.5: 16 - 24) Did he mean it?
Yes, he did. This was a man who understood that the Gospel really is Good news! Do we?
The pain, hurt, fear, worry - and that awful killer stress, - need not distract us from the source of true Joy. That source is Jesus Christ. He never leaves us! The Ascension is not a departure, just a new way of Him walking with us now, in His Body, the Church, of which we are members.
Christian joy is not rooted in the circumstances and struggles of our daily lives. Sometimes the travails we experience are the bad fruit of the disorder and brokenness caused by sin, our wrong choices. However, even then, they need not rob us of this kind of Gospel joy.
The Goodness of the News we proclaim to the whole world does not change. And we proclaim that Good news in word and lifestyle. Our circumstances simply present us with an invitation as to how we will respond to them. Living faith gives us the means.
Christian Joy finds its root in the relationship we now have in and through Jesus Christ, with the Father, in the Holy Spirit. That relationship not only survives struggle, it thrives in struggle. That is, for those who have living faith. We can learn to rejoice because the Lord is always near.
One of the Psalms we chant in the Liturgy of the Hours reminds us of this bedrock truth, "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed. Many are the troubles of the just, but the LORD delivers from them all." (Psalm 34:19,20)
Christian joy is a fruit of the presence of the Holy Spirit in a believer (Galatians 5:22). It is meant to be reflected in a new way of living. It also reveals the character of Christ being formed in a believer. It does not mean smiling all the time - though for many of us a bit more smiling would be a good idea.
Rather, Christian joy, Gospel Joy means living as though we know that Jesus never leaves us. He meant it when he said, "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." (Mt. 28:20)
A lifestyle change should characterize what it means to be a Christian. It is why, before they were called Christians, they were referred to as "the Way" (Acts 22:4). By living our lives in the Lord we can find this Joy he promised by living in a new way. By living in Him. We do that by living in the heart of the Church for the sake of the world.The Church is fundamentally a relational reality, a communion.
We have heard the Gospel account when John told the crowds, "I am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." (Luke 3)
We have received that very Baptism (the Greek means immersion) in the Spirit. In fact, it can be constantly renewed, if we ask. With that Baptism we have also received the grace we need to respond to this invitation to be a people of Gospel joy.
John's humility is the road upon which we should walk if we desire to find that Gospel joy. He became a man of Joy because he was a man of humility! He understood the great truth presented to all of us in our Liturgy today. It wasn't all about him! It isn't all about us!
John emptied himself of himself - and thereby became one who could reveal Jesus to others. His humility opened a space within him for true joy, the kind which comes from the real presence of the Lord.
So it can become for each one of us.
Living in the first home of the whole human race, his mother's womb, this last Prophet of the Old Testament and First Prophet of the New responded to the arrival of Jesus with a dance and just kept living in joy. The Gospel account records the visit of Mary to Elizabeth:
"When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
"For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled." And Mary said: "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior." (Luke 1: 41-47)
Joy fills Elizabeth, inspires Mary to sing a canticle of praise, and causes the child John to dance in the womb. Joy is a Person named Jesus. He is still among us, calling us to Gospel joy!
In the fourth Gospel, the theologian John recorded the words of the Baptizer explaining the source of his supernatural joy, "The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete. He must increase; I must decrease." (John 1:29 - 30)
The two persons we should look to as instructors in this Gospel joy are John the Baptizer and Mary, the Mother of the Lord.
Do we think of Mary as joyful? Of course we know she was the mother of sorrows. She was so closely associated with the redemption that she participated in the sorrows of her Son. A sword did indeed pierce her heart (Luke 2:35) and with it she was invited into the suffering it entailed.
We refer to her as the "cause of our joy" because, by her Yes, she cooperated with God's great plan to bring the source of true Joy to the world. Joy was conceived within her and birthed for the you and me.
But remember, she carried Jesus, raised him, loved him and held Him, in her arms and in her heart. Of course she participated in the greatest source of Joy!
Mary's humility brought heaven to earth and earth to heaven. She was a woman of deep joy because she became the habitation of happiness, the first living tabernacle. She overflows with Jesus and she imparts joy to us all.
We call her, among her many other wonderful titles, the "cause of our Joy" because she bore the One who is its source, Jesus Christ. However, I suggest it is beyond time someone wrote an icon of a smiling Mother of God! Maybe they exist. If so, I invite my readers to enlighten me.
You and I can find this Gospel joy, this genuine happiness, beginning today, no matter what our circumstances. The Apostle Paul lived an arduous life of discipleship. He suffered physically, relationally and spiritually. Yet, he too was a man of this Gospel joy. He told the Philippian Christians:
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. " (Phil. 4:4-6)
Let us really hear the words of Jesus in today's Gospel, with out hearts, and believe they can be trusted. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to cultivate the fruit of Gospel joy within us. Let us embrace by grace the way of humility and find the happiness of heaven - beginning right here on earth.
St. Josemaria Escriva, a Saint of our own time who teaches us that the universal call to holiness embraces every vocation and state in life, once wrote, "I am every day more convinced that happiness in Heaven is for those who know how to be happy on earth." (The Forge, 1005)

Let us never forget that the Church is not of the world but she is in the world. The Lord promises joy in heaven, but that joy can even begin now if we have Christ with us, for that is heaven on earth! Check out the Catholic blog www,breadandbrothers.com for more on this.

As the Bible says " Joy is standing in the presence of the Lord" which is but to say in that Joy is our rest, to the words "Enter ye into the rest of the Lord" against which the scriptures mentions of Israel in the Apostasy "Ye shall not enter into the rest"

All Grain Brewing / Re: % of Munich for light summer ale
« on: July 06, 2013, 04:55:37 AM »I was thinking 10% Munich is appropriate. Too much in a light beer will darken the color. Maybe you could get away with 15-20%, I have not run the numbers through software. Depends on how dark you want. If color doesn't really matter, then yeah, use 20-30% with great effect.
Depends on what Munich. The color of some of the Light or "Munich I" grains are as low as 6L. 20% of that stuff in a beer made with 2-row or Pale Ale malt is not going to have it's colored affected to the point of detriment.
Also, 10-15% will give you a slight graininess that is pleasant but not immediately identifiable as Munich malt. I think it's really nice in a beer like this.

If you want to do light plowing you'll be fine, but if you want to do it as a business, you at least need a half ton. I used to plow snow for my bro-in-law driving 3/4 ton Chevys with the 8.1L V8 or the Duramax. The back end was usually loaded up with salt and a spreader and of course the plow on the front. We would do apartment complexes, business parking lots, condos and neighborhoods and usually had no issue but sometimes with enough of the wet snow it wasn't easy even with those trucks. |

2006 Mariner Scores a Big Award
Recently, we were honored to learn that our latest vintage of Mariner was selected as the "Best Bordeaux Blend" at the Critics Challenge International Wine Competition. This is a particularly outstanding achievement considering the level of judges – a veritable who's who in the wine world including Leslie Sbrocco, Gerald Boyd, Michael Apstein and many more luminaries. Michael Franz, editor of Wine Review Online had this to say about the Mariner:
"This very strong Bordeaux-style blend shows a lot of firmness from oak in the finish, but also impressive depth of fruit that keeps the balance appealing. The tannins are fine-grained and well weighted to the sweet, deeply flavored fruit, making this enjoyable now but also quite promising in terms of potential for future development. Tasting blind, I awarded this a platinum medal at the Critics Challenge International Wine Competition." 92 points.

Falconry Permit/License
Falconry is the sport of taking wildlife by means of a trained raptor. A person may not practice falconry within the state unless he first submits to the Department of Natural Resources a completed application form, provided by the Department, and approved by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, including all information required on the form.
A falconry permit may not be issued until the applicant has answered correctly at least 80 percent of the questions given on a supervised examination, approved by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and administered regionally by the DNR's Wildlife and Heritage Service.
A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permit is required for each person within the State of Maryland to possess a raptor for the purposes of falconry.
If you are interested in becoming a licensed falconer in the State a Maryland, there are three classes of permits for which you may apply: Apprentice Class, General Class, or Master Class.
Apprentice Class
Applicants must be at least 14 years old and must have a sponsor who holds a General or Master Falconry Permit. A Falconry Apprentice Permittee must have a sponsor for a minimum of two years. Also, an Apprentice may not possess more than one raptor (and may only possess the American Kestrel, Red-tailed Hawk, or Red-shouldered Hawk) and may not obtain more than one raptor for replacement during any 12-month period.
General Class
Applicants must be at least 16 years old and have at least two years of experience in the practice of falconry at the Apprentice Class level, or its equivalent. Also, a General Class Falconer may not possess more than three raptors and may not obtain more than two raptors for replacement during any 12-month period. A General Permittee may not take, transport, or possess any species listed as threatened or endangered in federal regulations published pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
Master Class
Applicants must have at least five years of experience in the practice of falconry at the General Class level, or its equivalent. Also, a Master Class Falconer may not possess more than five raptors from the wild and may not obtain more than two raptors for replacement during any 12-month period. A Master Class Falconer may possess any number of captively-produced raptors. A Master Permittee may not take, transport or possess any species listed as threatened or endangered in federal regulations pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 unless authorized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Other Requirements
A $25.00 non-returnable fee, made payable to MD DNR, is due with the application for a Falconry Permit and with each subsequent annual report.
A $100.00 fee, made payable to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, must accompany the Federal Application Form 3-200 (OMB No. 42-R1670).
There are laws and regulations in place that govern facilities and equipment, inventory and marker requirements, transportation and transfers, open season dates for taking raptors from the wild, release of raptors into the the wild, propagation of raptors, annual reporting requirements, and hunting regulations and seasons.
Procedures for Obtaining a Falconry Permit
A U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Falconry permit is required for a person within the state to possess a raptor for the purposes of falconry. A separate raptor propagation permit is issued by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service for any person who wishes to breed raptors.
- Carefully read all information included in the application packet. Make sure you are familiar with Federal regulations 50 CFR 13 - General Permit Procedures, §21.28 and §21.29 - Falconry Permits and Maryland regulations 08.03.09.07.
- Fill out the Maryland Falconry Application. If you are applying as an apprentice, you must first locate a licensed falconer who will agree to be your sponsor.
- Contact the Permits Coordinator, Wildlife Service at 301-478-2690 when you have completed the application and are ready to take the examination. You will be scheduled for a date and time that is convenient to you.
- After you have passed the test, a site inspection of your completed mews will occur. When you pass the mews' inspection your State of Maryland permit will be issued. Then you will complete the Federal application form, attach a copy of your state permit and your check for $100, and send it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as directed on the federal application. When you receive your federal permit call the Permits Coordinator, Wildlife Service (301-478-2690), for any necessary bands and several copies of the Federal Acquisition and Disposition form. This form must be completed as directed each time you acquire, trap or release a raptor, or in the event a bird escapes or dies.

Stiftung Rechnen - "Four out of five people cannot do arithmetic. We will change that!" As studies show: Germans do not score high marks when it comes to dealing with mathematical problems in everyday life. This has to change, which is why Scout24 has been a partner of the Arithmetic Foundation since 2009 and supports children and adolescents in the development of their mathematic competence. And in a very practical manner: Scout24 employees teach at secondary schools in Munich within the scope of the "Math4Life" project.
Details on Mathe4Life Details on Mathe4Life Not everyone is an ace mathematician. But that doesn't mean that math has to be a closed book. People who enjoy working with numbers will not only do better at school, but will also be will equipped for private and professional challenges. That is why Scout24 developed the "Math4Life" project in cooperation with the German arithmetic foundation, Stiftung Rechnen. It is aimed at enabling children and young people to enjoy working with numbers and creating awareness for the significance of mathematics at school as well as at work and in everyday life. Hence, Scout24 employees work as lecturers at secondary schools in Munich. That fits, especially as doing arithmetic is daily routine at Scout24: employees from controlling to marketing crunch numbers day in, day out. The lecturers show pupils that mathematics can indeed have a very practical side: when does an online campaign start to pay off? How do you calculate the right server capacity? And how much of my last wage packet do I actually get to keep? These are just some of the questions on the Math4Life curriculum. Scout24 currently cooperates with three schools in Munich. We will be pleased to add more schools to the programme. Interested schools are invited to get in touch with us.
