Does Mother or Father's Day Get More Hoopla at Your House?
Does Mother or Father's Day Get More Hoopla at Your House?
Usually one spouse is more amped for holidays than the other and this works out when it comes to children's birthday celebrations and Fourth of July festitivities. But, when it comes to mom or dad's special day, does one parent put in extra effort — planning the perfect activities and purchasing a thoughtful gift while the other just improvises? Who gets the better deal in your house?

I'm with lilsugar on this... my husband is the best with cards, which is the most important part of the holiday for me. Plus, he cooks on Mother's Day, which is about the only day of the year he uses the kitchen.
4 years
Hubby gets a free day on Mother's day, I take our triplets with my sister and her children and my mother to the zoo for the day. He gets the day off, then on Father's day I make a big deal about it (cards, cake, gifts, breakfast, dinner, etc.) He's a great father & husband and deserves it. Only wish I could do more for him.

Fathers Day gets the bigger to do. I am more creative and take time to do stuff for him. Plus all I want is to sleep in and not have to clean. I have a newborn and 21 month old so both of those are hard to come by.

Mother's Day def. got more attention this year and most years.....My husband is much better at that kind of stuff than I am, though I have good intentions I just never get around to accomplishing them, somehow he finds time to get everything done for holidays and birthdays (though not much else!! I guess that shows what's important for him...) what can I say though I've got an infant and two puppies to chase after!!

I'm better at making plans, but my husband takes the cake when it comes to writing/buying thoughtful cards and presents with our kids.

Daddy gets the bigger day! I think it's just because I'm super creative with holidays and he, well, he's not. Our daughter gets Christmas, my birthday is always a big deal with my side of the family, so he deserves a bigger day at least once a year!
4 years
For the second year in a row my hubby is getting more for his day than I am. I am a little disappointed (being a stay at home mommy deserves SOMETHING, right?) but I know that my wonderful hubby works hard every day so that I can stay at home with our little guy. I'm very proud of the man he matured into and the father that he's turned out to be for our beautiful son. (But maybe a card next year for Mommy's Day wouldn't be so bad! haha!)

St John Cassian, Semipelgianism, and the Councils of Orange
March 21, 2007, 02:46:11 PM »
Well, here is a really broad question and I am hoping that some of you theologians may be able to assist me. I'm doing a research paper over Cassian's
especially Book 13.
1.)How does the Orthodox Church receive his teachings and would you describe them as semipelgianism? Are there any specific parts you would argue are acceptable if the Church deems it not?
2.) How is the Council of Orange traditionally placed in Orthodoxy?
3.) Does anyone happen to know, by chance, where Augustin's alternate view on will and grace is expressed?
I really apreciate any help I can receive and I look forward to your answers.

Among the fathers of the ancient church, I always thought that the concept of salvation was
expressed in the works of Cassian. Was Cassian semi-pelagian? I would say no. Besides, the charge of semi-pelagianism is one often brought against the Eastern Orthodox view of salvation generally, though I doubt many Orthodox would consider their view heretical. I'm sure there are statements in the works of Cassian that wouldn't be acceptable to everyone, as everyone makes mistakes.
I am obviously not saying that I agree with him about salvation, I just think that Cassian takes the various statements and contradictions (free will vs. determinism and such) in the bible and synthesises them pretty well, not falling into extremes. I guess one of the things that might catch someone's eye in Book 13 is something like this...
"For we should not hold that God made man such that he can never will or be capable of what is good: or else He has not granted him a free will, if He has suffered him only to will or be capable of evil, but neither to will or be capable of what is good of himself." - John Cassian, Conferences 13, 12
However, there are also ideas like the following in the works of Cassian...
"'For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do according to good will.' (Phil 2:13) What could well be clearer than the assertion that both our good will and the completion of our work are fully wrought in us by the Lord?" - John Cassian, Conferences, 3, 15
Half this 3rd Conference discusses free will in this way, emphasising the part that God plays and minimizing the part that humans play (esp.
Chapters 11-22
Here are some other quotes from his works...
"...the initiative not only of our actions but also of good thoughts comes from God, who inspires us with a good will to begin with, and supplies us with the opportunity of carrying out what we rightly desire: for 'every good gift and every perfect gift cometh down from above, from the Father of lights,' (James 1:17) who both begins what is good, and continues it and completes it in us, as the Apostle says: 'But He who giveth seed to the sower will both provide bread to eat and will multiply your seed and make the fruits of your righteousness to increase.' (2 Cor. 9:10)" - John Cassian, Conferences, 13, 3
"Whence human reason cannot easily decide how the Lord ...draws men against their will to salvation, takes away from those who want to sin the faculty of carrying out their desire, in His goodness stands in the way of those who are rushing into wickedness." - John Cassian, Conferences, 13, 9
(There are a lot of other parts in the
13th Conference
that are closer to Augustinianism than Pelagianism). But one last quote, from the Institutes...
"For the will and course of no one, however eager and anxious, is sufficiently ready for him, while still enclosed in the flesh which warreth against the spirit, to reach so great a prize of perfection, and the palm of uprightness and purity, unless he is protected by the divine compassion, so that he is privileged to attain to that which he greatly desires and to which he runs. For 'every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights.' (James 1:17) 'For what hast thou which thou didst not receive? But if thou hast received it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?' (1 Cor. 4:7)" - John Cassian, Institutes 12, 10
Can't really help you much regarding the Council of Orange or Augustine, leastwise I can't help any more than going and doing a Google search and posting the findings here (which you could do yourself, you don't need a wicked apostate for that

Hi everyone! I'm no theologian but I do have a pretty good library!
St. Maximus stated:
"the Spirit does not generate a will that is not willing, but he transforms into deification a will that has the desire."
I don't see the same antithesis between divine grace and human freedom, which dogged Western theology for so many centuries, in Eastern Christian thought.
Be Well.

ok, people of this forum,
This is a really good and important question. Horrible attention it got. Let's give this OP a better answer.
Also something I wonder about too.
Council of Orange...good or bad?
John Cassian...semi-wrong or right?

You're welcome
Seriously though, I'm not sure what I could say that I haven't already said. Not only is St. John not semi-pelagian, but in his writings we actually find one of the best examples of orthodox thought on the matter.

Of course that wasn't directed at you Asteriktos. Appreciate your input.
But specifically does Orthodoxy disagree with the Council of Orange? Does Catholicism embrace Orange wholly? Papist, where you at?

I wanted to come back and make a post here for two reasons. First, to act as a bump so that it can perhaps be revived, as I think it could make for an interesting discussion. And second, so as to not be
a bump, I'm going to post an overview of the
Thirteenth Conference
of St. John (mentioned in the OP)...
Abba Chaeremon makes the following points:
Chapter 3 - We can do nothing without God's aid and mercy, and we should not boast that our good fruits were produced by our own works. Both the initiative to do good and our good thoughts come from God; God inspires us to do good and gives us the opportunities to carry good intentions out.
Chapter 4 - [A question is asked by Abba Gemanus: what are we to make of the heathen who are virtuous?]
Chapter 5 - Abba Chaeremon argues that the heathen are virtuous insofar as they can be, but are not and cannot be virtuous in the same way that Christians are. To truly achieve virtuous conduct, though, it is not enough to just be a Christian, but to receive this gift you have to "serve God with full contrition of their spirit".
Chapter 6 - We always need God's help in everything, which obviouslky includes salvation. Without the aid of God we cannot accomplish anything related to salvation.
Chapter 7 - God made man to live forever, not originally intending him to die or sin. Therefore he tries to start a fire of good in us, and when he sees the fire starting to develop, he tries to fan the flames so that they grow. God sometimes gives us things that we do not want, because like a good physician he knows that sometimes the necessary treatment will not be pleasant.
Chapter 8 - Divine protection "is inseparably present with us." God inspires us to do good, and when He sees these thoughts to do good take root, He tries to nurture them so that they produce fruitful activity.
Chapter 9 - It is hard to understand how God provides and guides us, how he can draw us against our will towards salvation without violating our free will, etc. However, our own will clearly has a part to play.
Chapter 10 - Freedom of the will is not merely illusionary, but real. "The Apostle writing to the Philippians, to show that their will is free, says 'Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,' but to point out its weakness, he adds: 'For it is God that works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.' (Phil. 2:12-13)"
Chapter 11 - Many questions can be raised about how all of this fits together, how we can be guided by grace, have free will, play our part in cooperating with God, etc. Free will and grace seem opposed to each other, but actually work together.
Chapter 12 - Either God has made man in such a way that he is naturally capable of choosing to think or do good, or there is no free will. But there is indeed free will, and so we should not claim that everything good in humans is from God, and that people are naturally evil. Every soul has been given some grace by God to do good, and people are assisted by God, yet the "freedom of the will is to some degree in a man's own power".
Chapter 13 - "And so the grace of God always co-operates with our will for its advantage, and in all things assists, protects, and defends it". Human effort alone cannot get someone to heaven. Paul said: "And His grace in my was not in vain; but I laboured more abudantly than they all: and yet not I, but the grace of God with me" (1 Cor. 15:10). Of this Abba Chaeremon says: "'when he says: 'I laboured,' he shows the effort of his own will; when he says: 'yet not I, but the grace of God,' he points out the value of Divine protection; when he says: 'with me,' he affirms that it cooperates with him when he was not idle or careless, but working and making an effort."
Chapter 14 - The testing of Job by Satan shows that we are free to choose to do good, for while God gave Job enough grace to be victorious, it was not so much grace that victory was assured. It was up to Job to do his part. The Gospel story of the Centurion, and the testing of Abraham, are other examples of this. God does not guarantee that certain people do or think good; rather He might be likened to someone who feeds a baby, teaches it to crawl, to walk, etc.
Chapter 15 - We are each given grace in a way that is to our best advantage, according to our measure of faith.
Chapter 16 - None of this is meant to argue that everything having to do with salvation, or even the most important parts of it, are of our own doing.
Chapter 17 - "God brings salvation to mankind in deverse and innumerable methods and inscrutable ways". We cannot understand God's ways in this matter, as even St. Paul said.
Chapter 18 - [summing up] God puts into us "the very beginnings of salvation, and gives to each the zeal of his free will; and now grants the carrying out of the work, and the perfecting of goodness". When we do not resist, "everything is granted to us by God, the main share in our salvation is to be ascribed not to the merit of our own works but to heavenly grace". "the first state in the Divine gift is for each man to be inflamed with the desire of everything that is good, but in such a way that the choice of free will is open to either side: and that the second stage in Divine grace is for the aforesaid practices of virtue to be able to be performed, but in such a way that the possibilities of the will are not destroyed: the third stage also belongs to the gifts of God, so that it may be held by the persistence of the goodness already acquired, and in such a way that the liberty may not be surrendered and experience bondage".

The OP has posed an important question, one that I have asked over the past several years. Unfortunately, I am no closer to having an answer than I was when I first began researching the subject.
A helpful book on the Semi-Pelagian controversy is
Divine Grace and Human Agency
by Rebecca Hardin Weaver. Weaver sees the Synod of Orange as re-affirming a moderate Augustinianism. In his review of the book Michel Barnes (who knows his Augustine) disagrees with this conclusion: "If the theology of the Council of Orange is said to be Augustine's, that theology is from Augustine as he thought and wrote no later than 412 or 414 CE. Indeed, we might better say that the Council of Orange represents the triumph of the early and middle Augustine and the defeat of the late Augustine." If Barnes is right, then I would think that Orange might be amenable to an Orthodox reading.
I have yet to come across a scholarly Orthodox discussion of this topic. I would love to read an Orthodox theologian comparing, say, Maximus the Confessor, Augustine of Hippo, John Cassian, and the Synod of Orange. This would make an interesting PHD thesis, I would think.
In a way, the Semi-Pelagian question has become irrelevant, at least for contemporary Roman Catholicism. Catholic theologians affirm God's universal salvific will and they believe that sufficient grace is given to every person. Practically, therefore, no substantial difference on this question exists between Orthodoxy and Catholicism: every individual possesses or is granted the freedom to respond to and embrace the gospel. But it still remains an interesting theological question.

Harris County Constable Ron Hickman's Patrol Back to School Initiative has been in full swing for the past week, all around Harris County Precinct 4.
This initiative is in direct response to criminal activity the area has experienced and tracked through crime analysis in years past.
"Through our experience, we know there have been increases in property crimes such as burglaries to motor vehicles and other thefts in communities," assistant chief Mark Herman said. "Therefore, we have strategized our patrol resources and placed more patrol deputies on the streets during our nightshifts. This proactive approach has yielded arrests and provided a much higher police presence during the projected times of these crimes from years past."
This planned patrol initiative has allowed the department to increase overall nightshift patrols by more than 50 percent. Herman explained that increasing law enforcement presence in neighborhoods during these times, has kept the targeted activity in check.
Herman said that the initiative has resulted in the arrest of six individuals, with two more arrests for prior warrants. The deputies have issued 154 warnings and 166 citations as well.
"The second phase of our Back to School Initiative will be to incorporate our Driving While Intoxicated STEP patrol units into the initiative," Herman said. "As an effort to keep our roadways safe, it is important that law enforcement take a pro-active stance in preventing those who wish to get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle while impaired from endangering others and themselves by doing so."

Re: Reports of S3 dying
Every mass assembly has flaws. You cannot prevent it. Maybe someone sneezed on a batch going through the line.
My point is that there is an acceptable percentage of failures in manufacturing anything. With 40 million units sold, even 250000 would be acceptable. They are replacing them under warranty not shying away. The only reason is is news at all is that a few people are really being loud and that the sgs3 is popular.

Re: Reports of S3 dying
I read the article and found it informative, just that and not much more because as stated by others with over 30 million units sold you have to expect some to be faulty but a responsible company would jump on the matter out the gate to calm fears by reporting that if phones develop that problem they will replace them to which Samsung did, thus calming any fear that I might have since I had mine day one since its' release on Sprint without a sinle problem or even with the JB update. mind you knocking on wood though!

Fall into autumn in Ottawa
- Ottawa Travel Guide
- |
- Wednesday, 29 August 2012 17:01
The best time to view the fall foliage in Ottawa is usually from the end of September to mid-October, and those who travel to Ontario will undoubtedly want to have their cameras ready to see the leaves change into spectacular reds, oranges and yellows. Ottawa's skyline will practically glow like embers when the sun rises and sets, and there are some parks where leaves boast the stunning kaleidoscopic colours.
The Champlain Lookout in Gatineau Park is a great place to get a full view of the changing leaves, and at the top of the hill, visitors can treat themselves to uninterrupted vistas of the gorgeous Ontario scenery.
If travellers are looking to get in touch with nature, they should head to the Stony Swamp trails, where adorable and curious birds are more than happy to peck a few seeds from an open palm. Fall foliage lovers can also take a short stroll along the Jack Pine and Lime Kiln trails, which both weave through forests that will be ablaze with rich colours.

Darlington have around 300 tickets available for next week's top-of-the-table clash with Spennymoor Town.
Quakers yesterday broke through the 1,000 barrier, while Moors have also sold a similar number of tickets for a game which is heading for a sell-out.
The all-ticket affair takes place at the Brewery Field on Friday, February 15 (7.45pm).
Tickets cost £6 for adults, and £3 for concessions (Over 65s and under 16s). Disabled supporters or those persons requiring a seat are requested to contact Spennymoor Town direct by telephoning 078712-06474.
Tickets are also available from Quakers' club's shop at the indoor market.

iphone is gay. it came out today.
They're showing all the people getting their iPhones on the new right now and asking who are you gonna call first? The answer: "My mom". Yup spending $600 dollars just to call your mom just so she can yell at you for spending $600 on a cell phone.
iphone is gay. it came out today.
Actually, when I told my mom about the iPhone, she was disappointed that she just finally bought a video iPod instead of waiting a little longer for one of those.
Its OLD technology!!!
Maybe if the thing had a new feature and didn't cost your soul it would be better.
"Only the dead have seen the end of war..."
Wait, not only did it come out today, but it apparently has a gender...and is attracted to phones of the same gender? How do you distinguish between male iPhones and female iPhones, or is it a new gender system that nobody outside plastic and machine could comprehend? Wow, now I want one.

Florida is one of the few states on track to meet White House projections for enrollment in health plans under the Affordable Care Act. Yesterday, Health and Human Services officials released data showing that more than 442,000 Floridians have signed up for plans since October. That's not far from the Obama administration's target goal of 477,000 for the end of March- which is the deadline for signing up for the ACA.

Here's another example of how false rumors get started. After Friday's loss, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Sun-Times asked Ryan Dempster if he thought he'd be traded. Response:
"I'm not an idiot. I know how things go," said Dempster, a two-time All-Star and the Cubs' Opening Day starter the last two seasons. "I know how it goes with players in contract years and the team not necessarily doing like they're supposed to be doing, there's always a possibility of things. There's a possibility of being traded anytime.
"But I don't really think about it. I don't really worry about it because I can just control doing my job the best I can."
Nowhere in that article did it say the Cubs are shopping Dempster now, though it does seem likely that contending teams will come calling. That article provoked -- not here, I heard this elsewhere -- the rumor that Dempster is on the trading block rightfreakingnow.
Not true, and this followup article from Saturday seems to indicate Dempster might veto a deal:
"I love being here, man," said Dempster, who has the sixth-best ERA (2.14) in the majors. "I love being a part of this organization."
The chances of Dempster, 35, returning next season if he's traded this summer would seem remote. But the clubhouse leader and 200-inning-a-year starter likes the thought of being with the Cubs when the promised turnaround gains traction.
"I want to be here and be part of what's going to be a bright future," he said. "Sometimes you have to endure some of the tough times in the present to get to that. We'll just see how it goes."
Could Dempster be traded? Sure. Will he be traded in the next week or so? Doubtful. Could he veto a deal and stay here? Possible.
Just don't believe all the rumors you hear. This is why you rarely see me post about or write about trade rumors. Most of them turn out to be nothing, or misconstrued or misinterpreted.
Rafael Dolis out as #Cubs closer for now with James Russell & Shawn Camp sharing duties

Like it matters, since the Cubs haven't even had a save opportunity since the first game of the losing streak.
Cubs lineup:
DeJesus RF, Castro SS, Mather 3B, Soriano LF, Baker 1B, Johnson CF, Barney 2B, Hill C, Garza P
Pirates lineup:
Tabata lf, Harrison ss, McCutchen cf, Alvarez 3b, Walker 2b, Jones rf, Hague 1b, McKenry c, Bedard p
Today's Starting Pitchers | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Matt Garza started twice against the Pirates in 2011. In the first one, on April 3, he gave up 12 hits -- all singles -- and struck out 12, and the Cubs lost. In the second one, on August 3, he threw seven shutout innings and the Cubs won 1-0. Hmmm. Could we have another 1-0 game heading our way?
Erik Bedard has never faced the Cubs. The Cub he's faced the most is Reed Johnson, who is 7-for-29 against him. Interestingly, Alfonso Soriano is 5-for-6 against Bedard (two singles, two doubles and a home run), but all of those appearances were in 2004 and 2005, so they're largely irrelevant now.

LINCOLN — Nebraska's final nonconference game of the year won't be an easy one.
The Husker soccer team will try to extend its three-game win streak against No. 14 Denver at 1 p.m. Sunday.
The match is the Pepsi Pack the House contest, in which fans will receive $1 general admission as well as $1 pop.
The Pioneers, who return 17 letterwinners and seven starters from last year, are off to a 7-0 start. They've given up just three goals.
NU is 5-2-1 after a 1-0 shutout of Michigan State in Thursday's Big Ten opener, giving the Huskers some momentum heading into Sunday's meeting.
Freshman Jaycie Johnson has posted game-winning goals in her last two matches and has scored in her previous three contests. Johnson's six goals lead the team.

I hope you might be able to help me recognize a recent exceptional experience that my friends and I from Colorado had with Liberty Bikes in Asheville.
We were on a three-week cycling trip through North Carolina (it was all wonderful), and needed advice regarding the opportunity in the Asheville area. Eight of us converged on Mike and Claudia Nix with questions, questions, questions. They were warm and engaging, very helpful with suggestions on biking and restaurants (we loved the 12 Bones suggestion!), and enthusiastic about our adventures.
It is rare to find folks that are so knowledgeable and kind. We had a terrific visit, and will certainly return — due in large part to their kindness.
We just wanted to thank them publicly. Asheville is lucky to have this kind of business representing the community.

Why would Pony rather have anyone's hate than their pity in The Outsiders?
Topic: The Outsiders
Why would Pony rather have anyone's hate than their pity in The Outsiders?
1 Answer | add yours
Pony does not want pity because it means that people who barely know him feel superior to him. He explains that some people consider the greasers inferior and in need of charity, when he actually likes who he is. Pony takes pride in being a greaser, and does not want anyone to pity him.
Did they hate us now? I hoped they hated us, that they weren't full of that pity-the-victims-of-environment junk the social workers kept handing Curly Shepard every time he got sent off to reform school. I'd rather have anybody's hate than their pity. (ch 11, p. 163)
Pony is fully aware that he and his friends are usually ending up on the wrong side of society, and prefers that others would just leave the greasers alone, because they do not go looking for trouble. They try to keep to themselves, and do not want to be pitied as victims. If they are going to be misunderstood, it is better to be hated, because they are not seen as inferior.

I also got a chance to attend Becket Hitch on Saturday—at one of my favorite places: Woodberry Kitchen. There is already talk of a spring Becket Hitch show—but clearly they'll need more room. (Outside? The entire bottom floor?) It was packed. I was a little skeptical about the $10 charge—I can't remember the last time I had to pay to get in somewhere to buy stuff. But it certainly gave it an exclusive element and from the number of folks in attendance it doesn't look like it kept people away. What I truly loved about the show—was the small number of crafters and the true raw talent that went into the items that were for sale.
Even the displays were gorgeous.
Kohli Flick—a co-founder of the event not only makes beautiful jewelry that is sold in places like Terrain and Red Tree—but also comes up with items like beautiful pouches and spools of ribbon. I want to live inside her head.(By the way, Kohli will be featured in the upcoming issue of ReadyMade magazine!)
Gary Godbey creates amazing shadow boxes from items he sources at antique shops and vintage boutiques and yard sales. It's like a piece of history—even if it's not your own. It's such an original craft.
There were a lot of tables that I drooled over. Can there be a Becket Hitch gift registry? Co-founder Katie McDonough Kutil shared table space with her mom who creates amazing pieces for Churchtown Chapeau Co.—including handknit hats and stockings. And I saw a certain soup lady purchasing an unbelievable cable knit throw blanket that was expensive—but worth every penny. And I love Katie's custom fabric flower headbands. If I was getting married I'd her her design all my bouquets. Another favorite at the show was Annie Howe's handmade papercuts. So original and interesting and seriously the perfect custom gift for the holidays or a wedding. I fell instantly in love. And another great addition to the show—Valentina Black's hand poured soy candles. Simple and yummy smelling. And the perfect hostess gift. I'd also pair them with something more impersonal—like a gift card—for a perfect teacher combo.
And lastly—what I would consider some of the best and most original jewelry I've seen in a long time—Ashley Buchanan. Ashley lives out of town—but frequents Baltimore to visit her boyfriend's family and is currently selling her goods at Red Tree. I bought three pieces (one was for me) and I will be a fan of her work for a long time.It's just nice to see something fresh and unique. I love how she mixes metals and chains. I was smitten.
It was a great, small show. I'm excited to see what the Becket Hitch crew dreams up for spring. —Janelle Diamond

Outdoors blog: Taking what the season will give you
By: Sam Cook, Duluth News Tribune
Taking what the season gives you
This early meltdown of snow has made for some unusual travel conditions. Virtually all of the snow is out of the woods, and yet, as of last weekend, the lakes still had plenty of ice on them. All of the snow cover has melted atop the ice and refrozen. Some of the lakes are as smooth as a skating rink, at least in the cool of mornings. Later in the day, the sun softens the lake surface slightly. On land, the woods look like they would in early spring -- snow cover gone, no leaf growth on the deciduous trees, all of the portage trails open and dry.
This past Sunday, a friend of mine in Ely and I took off and made a seven-hour loop in the canoe country. We walked the lakes wearing Yaktrax or cleats on our running shoes, as travel on that smooth ice would have been treacherous without additional traction. Once on land, we would shuck the traction and just walk the portages.
We started at 9 a.m. and walked until 4 p.m. Only once did we have to bushwhack, when we came to a creek that was ice-free and too deep to wade. We did have to jump a bit of open water along the south-facing slopes where we went from land to ice. Once, we fashioned a small bridge of downed logs to make that transition.
Along the way, in the few patches of fresh snow that had fallen since the meltdown, we saw the tracks of wolves and one otter. We moved a few deadfalls on the portages, doing our best to help the U.S. Forest Service. We stopped for lunch on a patch of sun-splashed pine needles, and I had to work pretty hard to ward off a nap.
Mostly, we just walked and talked and gawked at some of the nicest country around. We inspected campsites. We peered through perfectly clear ice that had refrozen along some shorelines. We admired the moxie of a small Norway pine growing horizontally from an invisible crack in a lobe of rock. At one point, we found ourselves on a promontory of rock overlooking several fingers of forested ridges jutting into an expanse of frozen lake.
I don't know if I'd make the same walk this weekend. Conditions on the lakes are changing rapidly. Those gaps of open water along the south-facing slopes are bound to widen this week.
But we took what conditions allowed last weekend and made the most of them.

WOONSOCKET ŌĆö School Superintendent Giovanna Donoyan is working on a sweeping restructuring of local elementary schools and the middle school that could restore all-day kindergarten at the early elementary level and also move fifth graders to the middle school. Donoyan has presented an overview of the possible changes to city leaders and state legislators and is in the process of meeting with the school staff to obtain their reactions to the proposal.
WARWICK ŌĆō On his first full day as the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party for president, Mitt Romney visited Rhode Island Wednesday, blasting President Barack Obama for the stagnating economy and lack of jobs in America. Romney appeared at a Town Hall type meeting at the Crown Plaza hotel that lasted just over 45 minutes, taking questions on everything from the plight of the local fishing economy to who he will choose as a running mate.
Al Bettencourt lives in Burrillville, but his one-acre vegetable plot looks like itŌĆÖs part of the Sonoran Desert. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs all cracked,ŌĆØ says the executive director of the Rhode Island Farm Bureau. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs too dry. We need some rain and we need it soon.ŌĆØ Across the region, a virtually snowless winter has given way to one of the driest springs on record, pushing the region to the edge of drought, raising concerns among farmers and prompting government agencies to issue fire hazard warnings.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō A public hearing conducted by Attorney General Peter Kilmartin and the state Department of Health on the proposed acquisition of Landmark Medical Center by the Steward Health Care System of Massachusetts made one thing absolutely clear Monday-- area residents and public officials, Landmark's employees and most importantly its patients all want the 114-bed acute care facility and its Rehabilitation Hospital of Rhode Island (RHRI) to remain open.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō The School Committee will consider toughening requirements for a passing grade and attendance in local schools when the panel meets on Wednesday. School Committeewoman Vimala Phongsavanh is proposing that the committee raise a passing grade to 70, the requirement that had been in place until the committee voted last year to lower it to a grade of 60 as a way to retain more at-risk students in school. The committee, at that time, also modified the penalties for absenteeism for similar reasons.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō Think of a place where a young person can get help with their homework from a certified teacher, meet with friends in a safe setting and even spend a little time thinking about college or a future career. If you are picturing an afterschool program at a local school, think again. ItŌĆÖs the new Mary A. Longtin C-3 (College, Community and Career) Center. The center, which was dedicated Thursday afternoon, offers its visiting young people two classrooms and a computer center all created in a 3,500-square-foot former industrial building at 120 Northeast St.

PROVIDENCE ŌĆō The Senate Health and Human Services Committee has scrapped a proposal to amend the 15-year-old Hospital Conversions Act and substituted language proposed by Steward Health Care that will facilitate its purchase of the troubled Landmark Medical Center. The new version of the bill would eliminate the provision that a for-profit hospital corporation like Steward is prohibited from applying to buy a second hospital for at least three years after it acquires one.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö In an about-face, Durham School Services has agreed to provide student transportation services for the rest of the year even though itŌĆÖs owed more than $500,000 by the cash-choked Woonsocket Education Department, school officials announced Thursday. School Supt. Giovanna Donoyan said the company had previously advised the WED it would discontinue service on Monday unless the department satisfied the debt. The Warrenville-Ill.-based transportation giant changed its mind after a conference call with company executives, state revenue officials and the office of Mayor Leo Fontaine.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö Good news seems hard to come by lately in this cash-strapped city, but a bit surfaced yesterday as state officials announced a grant of $125,000 for improvements to Cass Park, the cityŌĆÖs largest tract of open, public space. The award was among $4.2 million worth of recreational grants for 23 communities announced at the State House by Gov. Lincoln Chafee and Department of Environmental Management Director Janet Coit.

Border Patrol
A dispatch from a dark front in the War on Drugs
A dispatch from a dark front in the War on Drugs: The U.S. Department of Justice has recently closed the books on the 1997 shooting death of Ezequiel Hernandez, an 18-year-old high school student from the small Texas border town of Redford. But although Justice has ruled that the matter is over, the case lingers on in memory, a ghost haunting the machinery of what has become America's longest-running war.
Last May, Hernandez was killed as he tended his family's herd of goats in the rugged, wind-swept hills outside his home. In a time when drug-related murders are scarcely news anymore, the death of Hernandez stood out for a couple of reasons: He had nothing to do with drugs--and he was cut down by a single shot from a heavily camouflaged U.S. Marine, the leader of a four-man squad tracking drug smuggling near the Rio Grande.
Since 1989, the U.S. Border Patrol has used military personnel in the drug war. Soldiers are usually assigned surveillance duties since, by law, they cannot confront suspects. But they are allowed to return fire, and the Marine responsible for the fatal shot claimed that Hernandez, who carried a .22-caliber rifle to scare off coyotes and other wild animals, had fired at him and his fellow soldiers. Although state investigators challenged that version of events--a Texas Ranger captain said the Marine's account of the shooting didn't "exactly jibe" with the autopsy and physical evidence--a grand jury declined to indict anyone in the shooting. And now, the Justice Department has ruled there is "insufficient evidence" to pursue the matter further, that the Marine properly followed military "rules of engagement."
Whether that is true--or perhaps even more so if it is true--the death of Ezequiel Hernandez throws a harsh light on federal drug interdiction strategies. Border Patrol officials say they called in the Marines because, in the words of one spokesman, "We were getting beaten badly" by drug traffickers. That much is indisputable: Virtually every serious analysis of the subject, including the government's own, has concluded that interdiction--stopping drugs at the border--has been an abject failure. As the U.S. General Accounting Office reported last year, "The flow of cocaine, heroin and other illegal drugs into the United States continues, and the availability of drugs . . . [has] not been reduced."
Which is something to consider long after the wind has swept away the sand and brush in which Ezequiel Hernandez died a year ago. It is foolish to hope that anything good can come of a tragic death, but perhaps this one can at least occasion a hard look at a drug policy that seemingly accomplishes little more than putting in harm's way the very people it was meant to protect.

Book Excerpt: A Practical Guide to Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Changing the Current Runlevel
The systemctl isolate command changes the current runlevel of the system. The following command changes the runlevel to multiuser graphical mode (graphical.target). When the system is rebooted, it will return to the default runlevel as specified by the link at /etc/systemd/system/default.target.
# systemctl isolate graphical.target
After a few moments, systemctl shows the system is in the runlevel specified by graphical.target:
$ systemctl list-units --type=target ... graphical.target loaded active active Graphical Interface ...
The preceding examples were run from an ssh login. If you give these commands from a terminal emulator running in a GUI, the system will log you out each time the system changes runlevel.
Configuring Daemons (Services)
Two states are important when you consider a daemon: its current state and its persistent state (the state it will be in after the system is booted). Possible states are running and stopped. Under Fedora, daemons are stopped when they are installed and are set up to be stopped after the system is booted.
The systemctl utility controls the current and persistent states of daemons that run natively under systemd. The service and chkconfig utilities originally controlled daemons that run under SysVinit and were upgraded to control daemons that run under Upstart. Now these utilities have been retrofitted to control daemons that run under systemd, which they do by calling systemctl. You can still use service to control the current state of a daemon and chkconfig to control the persistent state of a daemon.
The next sections describe the systemctl commands that control daemons, followed by the service or chkconfig commands that perform the same functions.
Setting the Persistent State of a Daemon (Service)
The systemctl disable command causes a daemon not to start when the system is booted. This command has no effect on the current state of the daemon. You must specify the .service part of the service name.
# systemctl disable ntpd.service rm '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service'
The preceding command removes the link that causes systemd to start ntpd when the system enters multi-user runlevel and, by inheritance, graphical runlevel. See "/etc/systemd/system Hierarchy: Controls Services and the Persistent Runlevel" for a discussion of these links.
The preceding command works on the ntpd daemon, which is run natively by systemd. If you run the same command on a daemon controlled by a SysVinit script, such as cups, it calls chkconfig (covered shortly). Even though no cups.service service or file exists, you must specify the .service part of the service name.
# systemctl disable cups.service cups.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig. Executing /sbin/chkconfig cups off
The following commands each verify the ntpd daemon will not start when the system boots. The first command shows no links in the .wants directories for ntpd.service. The second uses the systemctl is-enabled, which sets its exit status to 0 (zero) if the service is enabled or to nonzero otherwise. The || Boolean operator executes the echo command if systemctl returns a nonzero exit status (fails).
# ls /etc/systemd/system/.wants/ntpd.service ls: cannot access /etc/systemd/system/.wants/ntpd.service: No such file or directory # systemctl is-enabled ntpd.service || echo ntpd is not enabled ntpd is not enabled
The systemctl enable command causes a daemon to start when the system is booted. This command has no effect on the current state of the daemon. It creates the link that causes systemd to start ntpd when the system enters multiuser textual mode and, by inheritance, multiuser graphical mode. If you run the same command on a daemon that is controlled by a SysVinit script, it calls chkconfig (covered shortly).
# systemctl enable ntpd.service ln -s '/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service'
As in the preceding example, the next two commands check whether the daemon will start when the system is booted.
$ ls /etc/systemd/system/.wants/ntpd.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service $ systemctl is-enabled ntpd.service || echo ntpd is not enabled $
The chkconfig off and on commands correspond to the systemctl disable and enable commands. The messages the commands display when run on daemons systemd controls natively show they call systemctl. Because the chkconfig – –list option does not display the correct information for daemons controlled natively by systemd; you must use the preceding techniques to determine if such a daemon is enabled.
# chkconfig ntpd off Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl disable ntpd.service'. rm '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service' # chkconfig ntpd on Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable ntpd.service'. ln -s '/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service'
The preceding section discussed the systemctl enable command in terms of causing a daemon to start when the system boots. Most of the time this command works that way. However, the systemctl enable command can cause services to start based on various triggers, not just by the system booting.
For example, when bluetooth.service is enabled, it is controlled by the bluetooth device logic, which starts bluetooth.service when a bluetooth device is plugged in. If the bluetooth device is built in to the computer, this distinction is not important. However, if the bluetooth device is attached to a USB dongle, running systemctl enable means that in the future, the bluetooth service will be started as soon as the dongle is plugged in but not before.
In a similar vein, in future releases of Fedora the cupsd daemon will no longer be started when the system boots. Rather, running systemctl enable will only establish a communication socket for cupsd. The cupsd daemon will not start until a process tries to access it (when someone sends a job to the printer).
Changing the Current State of a Daemon
The systemctl stop command immediately stops a daemon from running. This command has no effect on whether the daemon starts when the system is booted. The following command works on the ntpd daemon, which is run natively by systemd. It will also work on a daemon systemd controls via a SysVinit script. You must always specify the .service part of the service name.
# systemctl stop ntpd.service
The preceding command stops the ntpd daemon. It displays no output, even if you mistype the name of the daemon. The following commands each verify the ntpd daemon is not running.
# systemctl status ntpd.service ntpd.service - Network Time Service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service) Active: inactive (dead) since Fri, 22 Apr 2011 08:50:59 -0700; 17ms ago Process: 1036 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ntpd -n -u ntp:ntp $OPTIONS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/ntpd.service # systemctl is-active ntpd.service inactive
The systemctl status command shows an Active status of inactive (dead). The systemctl is-active command displays a status of inactive. You can also use ps –ef | grep ntpd to determine if the daemon is running.
The systemctl start command immediately starts a daemon running. This command has no effect on whether the daemon starts when the system is booted.
# systemctl start ntpd.service
The next two commands each show the daemon is running.
# systemctl status ntpd.service ntpd.service - Network Time Service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service) Active: active (running) since Fri, 22 Apr 2011 08:50:59 -0700; 33ms ago Main PID: 1562 (ntpd) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/ntpd.service + 1562 /usr/sbin/ntpd -n -u ntp:ntp -g # systemctl is-active ntpd.service active
The service stop, start, and status commands correspond the systemctl stop, start, and status commands. The messages the stop and start commands display show they simply call systemctl. You can use the service status command (or the systemctl status command) to display the status of a daemon.
# service ntpd stop Stopping ntpd (via systemctl): [ OK ] # service ntpd start Starting ntpd (via systemctl): [ OK ] # service ntpd status ntpd.service - Network Time Service Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service) Active: active (running) since Fri, 22 Apr 2011 08:50:59 -0700; 102ms ago Main PID: 1615 (ntpd) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/ntpd.service + 1615 /usr/sbin/ntpd -n -u ntp:ntp -g

Service units, is a daemon
Service units, is a daemon (service) systemd control, including, itself systemd control SysVinit script by systemd control. For example, systemd control ntpd daemon through ntpd.service service units.
I think that the system works
I think that the system works really good and I am sure that there will be a lot of users which will want to use it.

Not "dérouillard"
Good article.
[It's not dérouillard (which sounds more like some anti-rusting thing) but «débrouillard» which has connotations of "muddling along".]
More usefully, Lennart Poettering has a good series of articles on his own blog about using systemd:
Title Spell Check?
Excerpt not 'Exercpt'... good read though.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Recipe by Holland House®
"Pork chops are soaked in a sherry marinade then quickly grilled for an easy dinner."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/4 cup Holland House® Sherry Cooking Wine
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 pork chops, 1-inch thick
I added some garlic to the mixture for more flavor, and did not use Holland House Sherry. NEVER use a wine that you would not drink a glass of yourself. You'd be surprised how much better the flavor will be.
Edible, but flavor was just too odd . . .
11 Ratings
This was a good recipe. I would have to agree with the previous review, use a better brand of sherry. I made this twice, the first time with the holland house brand, the second with a much better bottle, the second was 10 times better. The molasses was not too strong for us at all. I also added some fresh garlic to the marinade. Overall, very good recipe.
Very juicy and flavorful -- as long as you like the taste of molasses! Also works in the broiler.
Not too bad for a quick little marinade. I was expecting more of the molasses to come through. Overall it is fairly mild. If I were to do this again I would use a better quality sherry and garlic.
Very tasty and quick to put together - I ended up broiling the chops for 10 min. on each side.
very nice
Not bad, but needs longer to marinade. I used brown sugar instead of molasses. Also, I used Holland House because that is what I had, but I'll try the recipe again and try the recommendations on using a better brand.

The state Human Services Department finally made available its one-page response to a draft audit report that accused Christus St Vincent Regional Medical Center of wrongly obtaining $23.7 million in Medicaid funding.
The audit report, released in April by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), alleged that CSVRMC would need to return $23.7 million in Medicaid funding because of the way the state match for the money was put up. Instead of Santa Fe County putting up money for FY09 that the federal government matched, CSVRMC "donated" money to the county, which was then used as its portion of the state match. This is not allowed, and a separate whistleblower suit that names another New Mexico hospital (and does not name CSVRMC) alleges that this type of funding arrangement constitutes fraud.
The audit report's cover letter from CMS demands a response from HSD
by May 11. HSD got an extension until June 6, then another extension
until today. The response to the audit's allegations consists of the
"[HSD] takes very seriously the proposed findings contained in the draft [Financial Management Report]. In the draft, CMS cites numerous source documents that were reviewed and which form the basis of the proposed findings. Given the serious nature of the findings, we respectfully ask for the opportunity to review the source documents before responding."
Yep, that's it. Anyone curious to see how HSD and CSVRMC are going
to explain their way out of this better settle in for a long haul.
No need to be coy over the identity of the other hospitals - The seal is off the whistleblower suit and their identies are a matter of public record.
They are owned by the rapacious for profit chain, Community Health Systems. One of the hospitals is AltaVista Regional Medical Center in Las Vegas, NM. The others are Eastern New Mexico Medical Center and Mimbres Memorial Hospital.

Glow In The Dark Flowers For Valentine's Day
Looks like vaginas to me.
Happy Valentine's Day, I hope you're all having a good great one. And, if it's any consolation to you singles, I love you. Granted not like that, but still. Consider this your card. For those of you who do have a special someone but forgot to get them something until today, there's glow-in-the-dark flowers. Except they don't really glow in the dark, just under blacklight. All you have to do is pour some highlighter fluid in water, cut the stems, and let 'em soak that shit up. BOOM -- space flowers! Unfortunately, I chucked all my blacklights after the highlighter-filled liquor bottles I kept in college were systematically executed in my backyard with a BB gun. But maybe you still have one. If so, make some glow-flowers for your lady and tell her you picked them on the moon. She'll be so impressed you went to space for her! Then, get her under the covers. Women love playing fort on Valentine's!
Hit the jump for a video tutorial in case you're really struggling with the idea of pouring highlighter fluid i some water and sticking a flower in it.
Thanks to Nora, who made glowing deviled eggs for an Easter party last year and ended up giving everybody who ate one superpowers. JEALOUS!

Born June 15, 1973, Neil Patrick Harris was 15 when he starred opposite Whoopi Goldberg in Clara's Heart. The next year, he began four seasons playing the title role in the TV sitcom Doogie Howser, M.D. Harris then appeared in films and TV movies, as well as on stage, in Rent and Cabaret. In 2005, he landed the role of Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother. Harris is openly gay and the father of twins.
"I am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man, living my life to the fullest."
On being a parent with partner David Burtka: "We're super excited/nervous/thrilled."
Early Life
Born on June 15, 1973 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Neil Patrick Harris is the son of attorneys. Harris grew up in Ruidoso, New Mexico, where he got his start in acting as Toto in a grade school production of The Wizard of Oz. He appeared in several plays and musicals while attending La Cueva High School.
Acting Career
In 1988, at the age of 15, Neil Patrick Harris won a Golden Globe nomination for his performance opposite Whoopi Goldberg in the drama Clara's Heart. The following year, he landed the leading role as a teenage surgeon on ABC's Doogie Howser, M.D. The show was a hit, and for several years Harris was synonymous with his small-screen persona. He was nominated again for a Golden Globe for his work on the show, which ran for four seasons.
For the next several years, Neil Patrick Harris continued to stay busy, though his projects failed to reach the same success as Doogie Howser, M.D. He appeared in supporting roles on the big screen in such films as Starship Troopers, The Next Best Thing and Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. He also starred as a neurotic editor opposite Tony Shalhoub in the NBC sitcom Stark Raving Mad. Harris also appeared on Broadway in Proof, Assassins and Rent, as well as a critically acclaimed performance as the host in Cabaret.
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Harris earned acclaim for several made-for-TV movies, including My Antonia, Joan of Arc and The Christmas Blessing. He landed another sitcom success in 2005 with his role as the womanizing Barney Stinson in CBS's How I Met Your Mother. In addition to his work on How I Met Your Mother, Harris has enjoyed great success as the host of Broadway's biggest award show, the Tonys. He has served as the event's master of ceremonies three times—in 2009, 2011 and 2012.
Personal Life
Harris is engaged to actor David Burtka. He publicly announced his sexual orientation in 2006, making a statement in People magazine: "I am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man, living my life to the fullest."
The couple announced in August 2010 that they were expecting twins via a surrogate mother. Harris and Burtka became parents in October of 2006, with the arrival of son Gideon Scotr and daughter Harper Grace.

The Oakland Athletics wrap up their brief six game home stand with an even more brief two game set with the Boston Red Sox. The A's were 5-4 against the Red Sox, winning four of six at home and one of three on the road. This season the A's and Red Sox square off eight times, with the final six taking place at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox are currently sitting in the cellar of the AL West at 5-10. The Red Sox opened the season 0-6 and have slowly worked their way up from that ugliness. Although things have gotten better, Carl Crawford, one of their big offseason acquisitions, has struggled immensely with a line of .133/.175/.167. On the other hand, Jed Lowrie is tearing the cover off the ball to the tune of .516/.545/.774 in 31 at bats of spot starting at short stop. It would seem that he has likely surpassed former Athletics short stop Marco Scutaro on the depth chart.
The A's have been bouncing around to date and currently sit at 8-8 after splitting a four game series with the Tigers. The biggest advantage for the A's in this short series will be the starting pitching. Brett Anderson, starting Tuesday, has been solid through three starts in spite of getting little run support. Gio Gonzalez, starting Wednesday, is currently leading the majors in ERA at 0.47. He's pitched extremely well but has also benefitted from some weak lineups. He did face a tough Tigers lineup on Thursday but he also walked six batters, so we'll see how he fares against a tough Red Sox lineup.
Tuesday's game is at 7:05pm, while Wednesday's game is a lunchtime affair at 12:35pm. Both games will be broadcast by CSN California.

U.S. Representative Joe Barton's farcical Congressional hearings took aim at the BCS and the blogosphere has confirmed that college football's major bowls are exclusionary. Dawg Sports argues that this is a good thing.
The Penn State Nittany Lions, Cincinnati Bearcats, Ole Miss Rebels, East Carolina Pirates, and Utah Utes all have had surprisingly good seasons, but do any of them have what it takes to win a January bowl game? Dawg Sports lets you know in the penultimate installment of "Don't Bet On It!"
Did Dawg Sports get it right the first time? T. Kyle King doesn't think so, as he explains why he revised his CBSSports.com BlogPoll ballot to rearrange the ACC teams, drop all but one mid-major, reconsider Oregon State, and select a new No. 1 team.
I've already set forth this week's S.E.C. picks, so it's time now to turn to the national games of interest. Because last week's national picks contained more rhyme than reason, my...
