Adidas Halo Shoes Are Highly Questionable
Adidas is only making 100 pairs of these Halo inspired sneakers. As you can see, they're constructed of black leather, some other material with guns printed on it, and come complete with blue accents. They cost $110. Personally I don't know why they made them. Hardcore gamers like myself don't buy or wear crap like this, we wear slippers. And it takes a real man to admit that. It also takes a real man to admit that you pee in a wastebasket because you refuse to take a break from gaming. Which, uh, I may admit to if enough people agree it makes me a real man.
UPDATE: Girlfriend just caught me peeing in wastebasket. Relationship over. Evidently not real man.

This is the latest Adidas x Star Wars gear to hit the street. And by street I mean sales rack, because this ain't the kind of shit that's gonna be sold out the back of a truck. iPhone 5 knock-offs yes, and I'll give you a great deal on one because you seem like a good person/... / Continue →

The Election of 2000 presents some clear choices for animal lovers. In just about every race on this year's ballot, the differences between candidates are distinct. And the outcome of every race will have a tangible impact on animals. From the presidential race, to US Senate and Congressional races to statewide and legislative races, YOUR vote can make a difference for the animals. The race for the US Presidency offers drastically different options. Texas Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore differ significantly on their approach to air quality, water quality, wild forests, global warming – all of which are key to preserving habitat for all creatures. Green Party candidate Ralph Nader calls for an end to all logging in national forests. To illustrate the choice each voter faces, take, for example, the very specific issue of protection of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The leading presidential candidates have stated their intentions clearly – Bush advocates oil drilling in the refuge, Gore supports full wilderness protection for the refuge. Imagine the dramatic impact that drilling would have on the homes of polar bears, Arctic fox, Northern fur seals, caribou, elk, and eagles. The contest for who will represent Washington State in the US Senate is another race that will have a huge effect on animals. Senator Slade Gorton and former member of congress Maria Cantwell have dramatically different values and goals. The winner of that race will be a leader in efforts for salmon recovery in the Pacific Northwest—influencing make or break decisions that will determine survival or extinction for many endangered and threatened species. In Washington State, the choice about who will be Lands Commissioner couldn't be more distinctive. Former Governor Mike Lowry and Pierce County Executive Doug Sutherland, who are vying for the post, differ widely about the number of "board feet" which would be "harvested" from the 2.1 million acres of forest managed by the State's Department of Natural Resources. Preserving habitat for Washington's wildlife is critical for survival of cougar, lynx, bear and other beloved creatures that live on our state lands. In state legislature races across Washington, candidates who will represent voters in Olympia can have a huge impact on several efforts that would protect animals. PAWS will again be supporting efforts in our state capitol to ban private ownership of exotic animals such as primates and big cats, to end cruel hunting practices, and to institute protection for farm animals. "The votes of PAWS members can help make the legislature's composition compassionate," said Kathy Kelly, PAWS Executive Director. In Washington State, recent elections have been so close that the number of registered voters who did not get out on election day were greater in number than the difference between the winners and losers in key races. In the 1988 race for US Senate, for example, the difference was about 25,000 votes. "That's less than the number of Washingtonians who receive PAWS News!" noted Kelly.

While the weather was sometimes a bit rough, the 75-degree water temperature was warm compared to the 54-degree water off Port Townsend where the Scouts got their SCUBA certification last August in preparation for the trip.
"I am immensely proud of these guys," said Karl Wood, Troop 90 Scoutmaster.
"They showed maturity in having fun and doing work at appropriate times. They built much stronger relationships with each other and the adults."
The culmination of the trip included a ceremony on the ocean floor, where all the Scouts wrote their names in the sand and then received the SCUBA Activity Patch from their two dive masters.
"Sea Base was a great experience in teamwork and learning about stewardship of the ocean's resources," said Katherine Vollenweider, one of the chaperones.
"Our participation in Scouting has been wonderful but seeing our kids master the skills of SCUBA and turning into conscientious divers was extremely rewarding. Diving with my son is something I will always remember as a premier life experience."
The High Adventure was more than two years in planning, with the Scouts raising money to attend by collecting newspapers from bins for resale. When demand for newsprint declined drastically the Scouts found other ways to raise money for the trip. They hope to resume selling newsprint in the future.
Sea Base High Adventure is one of three High Adventure Bases operated by the Boy Scouts. Troop 90 is planning another High Adventure in two years.
They meet 7 p.m. Mondays at Trinity United Methodist Church. For more information, call Karl Wood, Scoutmaster, at 460-7021.

"BUNDLED w/ MIXI DJ BROWSER HIJACK!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!"
Version: BSR Screen Recorder 6.1.8
Honestly, none, b/c I would never use software that's bundled with Malware. I'll just buy Camtasia thank you.
This program is bundled with the DJ Mixi Browser Hijack that infects all browsers on your system and cannot be removed with a simple add/remove programs. I CANNOT believe this is allowed on CNET. This isn't a simple install where a free program asks to change your default search provider and you uncheck the box and that's the trade off for getting a free screen recorder. This is legit MALWARE that you need software to remove. Read more about the bundled MJ MIX browser Hijack and how to remove it here:
This installs under the recommended settings with no mention of 3rd party software. It's honestly an abomination that this is allowed on C-net, b/c when I saw the download on the cnet site I immediately trusted it. Guess cnet has really gone downhill to allow this kind of garbage.Summary
This software is bundled automatically with legit MALWARE. I cannot believe Cnet allows this on their site. Google "DJ Mixi Browser Hijack"

"Even its trial version is sufficient for me"
Version: BSR Screen Recorder 6.1.8
It has several zoom effects and the program is automatically set by default for my recording. It is nice to see that I can readjust the hotkeys if need be. The program is very practical and user friendly.
The trial version records with watermarks, but it is OK for me as I bought it after my trail period. It now records without logos.
Well done you guys! Thank you.
"do not EVERY upgrade to a new version after buying it"
Version: BSR Screen Recorder 6.1.8
this program is a great screen recorder.
if you pay for it, do not EVER upgrade to a newer version - ESPECIALLY don't upgrade to a newer free version. It installed for me, but failed to run. I contacted developer and told him his uninstall didn't work, and that the new install failed to run. He said "it's fine". I can't uninstall to go back to my previous PAID version. I can't install it on top of whatever I have. So although I paid for version 4 AND version 5, I can no longer used this program without a paid upgrade. That's LAME.
Developer can't fix his installer/uninstaller. Don't ever upgrade after you buy it thinking you won't pay for the new version. Because you WILL pay for the new version. Either that or your current install will be dead.
Actually, I went ahead and just bought the version 6. Developer noticed this and refunded my purchase. So everything is fixed. I'm all happy now. I highly recommend this program - it works great.

I have been using BSR 6 for a long time and after I upgraded my computer to Windows 8, I was very pleased to see that it was compatible with the new OS. The support team is also wonderful and prompt in replying my upgrade requests.
I cannot use the program on Mac since they don't have a Mac version.

"Deletes video after 20 minutes.."
Version: BSR Screen Recorder 6.1.8
Good recording quality and stuff.
It deletes your video after approx 20 minutes, the temporary recording video will secretly get deleted without notice while you record - this is due to the fact that BSR Recorder clears it temporary folder.... great!
Else than the con, the program is good.

Assault rifle sales up at local gun shop
Posted: 6:57 PM Dec 19, 2012
Reporter: Kevin Hurd
Assault rifle sales up at local gun shop
ELK MOUND, Wis. (WEAU) -- "People are buying them while they can because they don't know if they will be able to at some point," said Tom Gilbert, owner of Gilbert's Gun Exchange in Elk Mound.
His shop has been busy the last few days with customers coming in and calling on the phone. The surge in business is due to politics and economics.
"It's an investment opportunity," he said.
With the national conversation turning to tightening gun laws, he says people have been buying what they can now, knowing there is a possibility new laws could make it tougher to get high-powered assault rifles.
"There is political fear and all kinds of other motivations on a smaller scale, but for the most part I think its dollars, if you outlaw something you make it expensive," he said.
He says the last time there was a ban on large assault weapons from 1994 to 2004; it affected prices across the board.
"There was pre-ban this, pre-ban receivers, and it would just drive the price up," he said.
He says scare supply leads people going from shop to shop and buying what they can in larger quantities, banking on prices going up.
"If the first place you can't find it, and the second place you can't find it, the third place you might buy two or three," he said.
He is expecting the store to stay busy, the phone to keep ringing, unsure of how expensive certain products could get.
"They just know its $1,000 today and pending legislation is might be $1,200, or it might be $2,000." he added.

Greater adoption of compliance-prompting packaging will 'follow the money'
Berghahn anticipates, "One of the biggest game changers today will come not from the drug manufacturer but from the other end of the supply chain, the caregiver, or more appropriately, the "payer" to whom the caregiver is responsible. As accountable care organizations and pay-for-performance models continue to evolve, the pressure will increase on the caregivers to find ways to increase
Berghahn comments, "Reminders in various forms are great but until we hang the reminders directly on the package and put it in front of the patient, the family member and the caregiver we will have an open loop. Visual reminder and verification of dose taken will only come from calendarized packaging or eventually truly smart packaging with integrated electronics, but that is a bit down the road (although the prospect of scanning a bar code on your package via smartphone in connection with a social networking adherence program has certain appeal).
"In short, I think the driver for increased adoption for compliance-prompting packaging will not come from the start of the supply chain but from the end of the supply chain where there is economic pressure to improve outcomes—follow the money."

Rasa lila
The Rasa lila (IAST rāsa-līlā) (Hindi: रास लीला) or Rasa dance is part of the traditional story of Krishna described in Hindu scriptures such as the Bhagavata Purana and literature such as the Gita Govinda, where he dances liki with Radha and her sakhis. The Indian classical dance of Kathak evolved from the 'Raslila of Braj and Manipuri Classical Dance' (Vrindavan) also known as Natwari Nritya, which was revived in 1960s by Kathak dancer, Uma Sharma.[1]
The term, rasa meaning "aesthetics" and lila meaning "act," "play" or "dance" is a concept from Hinduism, which roughly translates to "play (lila) of aesthetics (rasa)," or more broadly as "Dance of Divine Love".[2]
The rasa lila takes place one night when the gopis of Vrindavan, upon hearing the sound of Krishna's flute, sneak away from their households and families to the forest to dance with Krishna throughout the night, which Krishna supernaturally stretches to the length of one Night of Brahma, a Hindu unit of time lasting approximately 4.32 billion years. In the Krishna Bhakti traditions, the rasa-lila is considered to be one of the highest and most esoteric of Krishna's pastimes. In these traditions, romantic love between human beings in the material world is seen as merely a diminished, illusionary reflection of the soul's original, ecstatic spiritual love for Krishna, God, in the spiritual world.
In the Bhagavata Purana it is stated that whoever faithfully hears or describes the Rasa lila attains Krishna's pure loving devotion (Suddha-bhakti).[3]
Just as a child plays at its own will with its reflection in a mirror, even so with the help of His Yogamāyā Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa sported with the Gopīs, who were like many shadows of His own form.[4]
Apart from the definition above, the term also comes from the Sanskrit words rasa and lila, with rasa meaning "juice", "nectar", "emotion" or "sweet taste" and lila meaning "act".By taking this etymologic breakdown of the word literally, "Rasa lila" means the "sweet act" (of Krishna). It is often freely rendered as "the dance of love".
Rasa lila has been a popular theme in Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Manipuri and Kuchipudi items. Ras lila is a popular form of folk theatre in the regions of Mathura, Vrindavan in Uttar Pradesh, especially during the festivals of Krishna Janmashtami and Holi, and amongst various followers of Gaudiya Vaishnavism in the region. Raas leela(Raax lila) is also observed as one of the National Festivals of Assam. During Raax lila, several thousand devotees visit the holy temples and Xatras of Assam every year.
In the tradition of Vaishnavism of Manipur Rasa Lila is depicted within classic Manipuri dance, and revolves around the same story of the love between Krishna and the cowherd girls and tells the divine love story of Krishna, svayam bhagavan and Radha, his divine beloved. This form of dance was started by Bhagya Chandra in 1779 and in some parts of India is still performed every year on Krishna Janmashtami (the festival to clebrate Krishna's birthday). According to different traditions, the rasa-lila is performed either by boys and girls, or by girls only. The dance is performed holding dandi (plural of danda) or sticks and is often accompanied with folk songs and devotional music.
The Traditional Rasa Lila performances in Vrindavan are famous throughout the Vaisnava world as an experience of the spiritual world. Rasa Lila performance was started by Swami Sri Uddhavaghamanda Devacharya in the early 15th Century CE at Vamshivata in Vrindavan, Mathura. He was a prominent saint of the Nimbarka Sampradaya, and disciple of the world-renowned Swami Sri Harivyasa Devacarya. The Vani literature of Vraja is the transcription of the songs that were heard by Swami Harivyasa Devacarya and his Guru, Swami Shri Shribhatta as they meditated on the Nitya Lila of Shri Radha Krishna. These songs describe the eternal spiritual abode of Shri Radha Krishna, the Sakhis and Nitya Vrindavana Dham - or Nikunja Dham.
As many new devotees of that time could not understand the Vraja language, Swami Uddavaghamanda Devacarya trained his Brahmachari students to play the parts that appeared in the songs in order to get a visual representation of the Lila that was being described. Many were sceptical of this, and attempted to thwart the first enactment. However, at the conclusion of the first Rasa Lila, tradition has it, the Lord Himself appeared and gave the actors his own Crown, and decreed that whenever a qualified actor was to take the part of the Lord, from the moment he put on the crown on his head, it should be understood that he represents the Lila potency of God, and treated with due respect. Shri Radha and Krsna shall be known as Shri Radha Rasavihari.
Since then, the traditional form has remained that actors who are young Brahmacharis will join a group led by the Swami of that group. The music remains the typical Dhrupada style of the Vraja Acharyas who penned the songs they heard to the accompaniment of Sitar and Pakhawaj and the songs are sung in Vraja Language, a parent to modern Hindi.
Recently, many people have taken advantage of the religious sentiments and have begun plagiarising this ancient art, and for popularity changing the music to popular music. Yet there are a dedicated few who seek to preserve the traditional form of devotional art known as Rasa Lila.
Esoteric meaning of Raasa Lila[edit]
The gopis are considered to be Sati. The word Sati is used to represent a chaste married woman but Sayana in his commentary of the Taittiriya Aranyaka explains that the word "sati" refers to "realized souls". Krishna plays the flute to call the gopis. The flute is given the status of a teacher, Acharya. The music is knowledge which is Brahma-Vidhya. The music flowing from the flute awakens the thirst for spiritual knowledge in the gopis. This also shows us that we can only learn Brahma-Vidhya through an Acharya. Krishna prefers to use an Acharya as an intermediary to teach us Brahma-Vidhya. Once Brahma-Vidhya is awakened, the gopis abandon their husbands to reach Krishna. The husbands represent our selfish materialistic desires.
True knowledge kills these selfish desires. The gopis want only that which is true and approach Krishna. The Raasa dance takes place in a circle. The gopis represent the jeeva atma. There is one Krishna in the middle surrounded by the gopis. Not only is there a Krishna in the middle but He also appears as a partner for each and every gopi. There are as many Krishnas as there are gopis.
The Krishna in the middle represents Paramatma in His absolute form. The Krishna dancing with each and every gopi represents His Antaryami form. As antaryami He exists as our soul. He is always with us. He exists in each and every one of us. Thus the entire Raasa dance represents the Vishwaroopa Swaroopa of God; He exists as antaryami (soul of every soul) as well as the Absolute God head.
The Raasa dance is performed with the gopis who are women. This represents that all jeeva atmas are feminine. The only male in this entire Universe is Paramatma Sri Krishna. He is known as the Para Purusha or the great Purusha. The Raasa dance shows us one of the nine relationships we share with Paramatma which is that of a husband & a wife. He is our husband. This relationship is a spiritual relationship and differs from the type of spousal relationships we are familiar to.
The gopis encircling Krishna on either side represent students and Krishna is the object of knowledge sought by them. If we look at the two Krishnas encircling a gopi then we see the student in the middle. Knowledge gains importance only when there are students to learn. The two Krishnas encircling a gopi show us the importance of the student or the jeeva atma. The two gopis encircling a Krishna show us the supremacy of the knowledge or Paramatma.
The Raasa dance has deep esoteric meaning and has nothing to do with sensual indulgence. When the esoteric meaning of the dance is illuminated, it helps us to shed our desires for materialistic sensual pleasures. It awakens the thirst to learn Brahma-Vidhya in us; with the help of this knowledge we can reach the feet of Paramatma. The dance takes place at night to show us that the union with Paramatma is beyond time and space. At nighttime the normal boundaries of time and space are not illuminated. Night here represents the transcendental nature of the union of a jeeva atma with Paramatma.

The Variety and Quality of a Nation's Exports
Article Citation
Hummels, David, and
Peter J. Klenow. 2005. "The Variety and Quality of a Nation's Exports."
American Economic Review,
95(3): 704-723.
Large economies export more in absolute terms than do small economies. We use data on shipments by 126 exporting countries to 59 importing countries in 5,000 product categories to answer the question: How? Do big economies export larger quantities of each good (the intensive margin), a wider set of goods (the extensive margin), or higher-quality goods? We find that the extensive margin accounts for around 60 percent of the greater exports of larger economies. Within categories, richer countries export higher quantities at modestly higher prices. We compare these findings to some workhorse trade models. Models with Armington national product differentiation have no extensive margin, and incorrectly predict lower prices for the exports of larger economies. Models with Krugman firm-level product differentiation do feature a prominent extensive margin, but overpredict the rate at which variety responds to exporter size. Models with quality differentiation, meanwhile, can match the price facts. Finally, models with fixed costs of exporting to a given market might explain the tendency of larger economies to export a given product to more countries.

Former new jersey payroll company employee admits theft, embezzled almost $400,000 in company funds
June 28, 2011 |
NEWARK, N.J. – A former employee of a New Jersey-based payroll company today admitted to defrauding her former employer by improperly diverting funds, after taking nearly $400,000 from the company, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Jahri Meriwether, 33, of Riverdale, Ga., pleaded guilty to an Information charging her with one count of mail fraud. She entered her guilty plea before U.S. District Judge William H. Walls in Newark federal court.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Meriwether admitted that between July 2007 and November 2010, she embezzled from her former employer, referred to in court documents as "Payroll Co.," by wrongfully diverting checks belonging to the company. The payroll company's services included helping other companies comply with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA") concerning health care coverage for their former employees. The company would collect funds from former employees and direct them to health care insurers.
Checks which were undeliverable for some reason were held in the COBRA account for approximately six months, after which time they would be remitted by the payroll company to the appropriate state government based on the relevant former employee's last known address.
Meriwether, who had access to the company's computer systems in order to perform her duties at the company's Alpharetta, Ga., office, used that access to reissue held checks to various people who had no right to them, with whom she then split the proceeds. She admitted to concealing her activity by changing the company's internal computer records.
In all, Meriwether embezzled at least $397,000.
The count to which Meriwether pleaded guilty carries a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. She will also be ordered to pay restitution at sentencing, currently scheduled for October 4, 2011.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark, for their work in the investigation of this case.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Leven of the U.S. Attorney's Office Health Care and Government Fraud Unit in Newark.
Defense counsel: Elizabeth, H. Smith Esq., Mendham, N.J.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of New Jersey.

At a training ground way out in the California desert, U.S. Marines prepare for the threat of a more modern enemy: so-called "near peers" such as Iran and North Korea that can bring 20th-century weapons to bear. PM was on hand to see the Marines practice coming up against tanks, armored personnel carriers, and antiaircraft missiles.

PM was there to observeat close rangethe climax of the second-ever Integrated Training Exercise (ITX), a training event meant to prepare 800 Marines for deployment. Unlike earlier training exercises, the Marines' imaginary enemies at the ITX are not insurgent infantry with rocket propelled grenades and roadside bombs. Instead, late last year the training personnel here set up a scenario in which Marines oppose battle tanks, mechanized infantry, and antiaircraft missiles. America's most probable military opponentsrogue states, unsteady regimes, and proxies for other world powershave arsenals of 20th-century weapons that pose a real risk to U.S. troops. Because their equipment and training are real threats, but do not quite measure up to the United States' capability, defense professionals call them near-peer competitors.

Advice for Starting Circles?
Thanks for your terrific presentation in today's webinar.
I love the Circles approach and have seen it play out in different ways. (Eagle Rock School in Colorado calls it Gathering, which I describe in this blog: http://www.edutopia.org/building-school-community-eagle-rock).
Can you recommend any resources for teachers who want to incorporate this powerful ritual into their practice? Any advice on what to avoid doing?

Hives and angioedema are reactions of the skin to histamine and other chemicals such as bradykinin, leukotriene C4, and prostaglandin D2. These chemicals act on blood vessels and other tissues to produce the clinical signs of hives and angioedema. This process is often, although not always, due to an allergic reaction.

Message to
the community from Luren E. Dickinson:
across the state of Ohio are experiencing budgetary difficulties as state
funding, which has not grown in a decade, has declined precipitously in 2009.
Shaker Heights Public Library is fortunate to have local tax support, and from
the beginning of the library's strategic planning process in 2006, well before
the economic problems of today, our focus has been on streamlining operations
to use tax dollars wisely.
One of the
top priorities of our recently revised Strategic Plan is to make the library a
more welcoming and comfortable place. A big step toward that goal will be the
replacement of lounge chairs throughout the Main Library. Bond funds approved by the voters in 2004
will be used to put the first new chairs in this facility since it was
converted from the Moreland School in 1993.
The bond money will also be used for public restroom improvements, which
should begin soon.
In order
to use the remaining bond funds for the renovation of unfinished areas of the
second floor and other enhancements at the Main Library, we must first renew
our lease for the building with the City of Shaker Heights (extending it
through August 29, 2033) and complete a joint use agreement with the Shaker
Schools, allowing us to finalize the architect agreement. That process is
almost concluded and will allow us to begin a planning process to redesign our
services in terms of service desks, self-checkout, etc.
continue to pursue grant dollars as another source of income. As we did in
2008, we are seeking outside funds to expand our Teen Center programs during
the summer. Shaker Library is part of the South Shaker MyCom initiative that is
requesting $21,000, with approximately $7,000 earmarked for library programs to
engage youth productively during this out-of-school-time period. Our partners
include Shaker Heights Youth Center, Shaker Prevention Coalition's SHARP
(Student Health Advocates Reaching Peers) program, and First Baptist Church.
possibilities for outside funding include summer youth employees through Youth
Opportunities Unlimited. We have
requested two positions to be filled by youth ages 16 to 18, at 20 hours per
week, for six weeks. This win-win
situation provides the library with extra help and teens gain job experience at
no cost to the library, as the County will pay them the minimum wage for these
We are
also looking into a variety of stimulus funds that may be available through the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Some areas directed at public libraries relate to technology and jobs
for low-income seniors. The State Library of Ohio is coordinating efforts for
public libraries statewide to add computers and new technologies, such as RFID,
self-checkout machines, etc., or to improve continuing education through web
accessible distance learning.
In honor
of "Older Americans Month," we will
sponsor two morning programs with the Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information
Program on Medicare, and long-term care, plus an evening program on brain
health with the Cleveland area Alzheimer's Association. In addition, we will
offer a series of computer classes geared to seniors' interests and we will
continue our Wii gaming nights for seniors!

I love all of the Elvis Christmas songs,for me Elvis and Christmas have always kind of belonged together...knowing how much he loved that time of year always makes it feel a little bit more special. I always play his Christmas music when I`m decorating the tree...that is where Christmas really begins for me.

But I also don't like bringing up the constitution and amendment to back up an argument as they can be out of date. But looking at the whole social spectrum of the USA, it is fair to say that religion should never be mixed with politics.

In a perfect world, Romney's, Obama's, and all politician's religions would not be any of our business because it would have no affect on how they go about making political decisions in a neutral fashion based on empirical evidence rather than religion doctrine.

I live in Missouri, Jesus can hang out at my place when he comes. I don't mind hanging out with a liberal hippie who is all about healing the sick and feeding the poor.
Barack Obama is not a foreign born, brown skinned, anti-war socialist who gives away healthcare. You're thinking of Jesus. |

And I heard as it were the noise of thunder One of the four beasts saying come and see and I saw And behold a white horse There's a man going around taking names And he decides who to free and who to blame Everybody won't be treated all the same There'll be a golden ladder reaching down When the Man comes around The hairs on your arm will stand up At the terror in each sip and in each sup Will you partake of that last offered cup? Or disappear into the potter's ground When the Man comes around Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum Voices calling, voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom Then the father hen will call his chickens home The wise man will bow down before the throne And at His feet they'll cast their golden crowns When the Man comes around Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still Listen to the words long written down When the Man comes around Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum Voices calling and voices crying Some are born and some are dying It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree The virgins are all trimming their wicks The whirlwind is in the thorn tree It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks In measured hundred weight and penney pound When the Man comes around. Close (Spoken part) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts And I looked and behold, a pale horse And his name that sat on him was Death And Hell followed with him.

No - Mormons actually believe that Jesus visited the Americas as well as every other place on earth before he ascended to heaven after his resurrection. The second coming is Him coming back to rule for 1000 years - its a specific thing, not just and appearance (they believe Jesus and God the Father, two separate beings, appeared to Joseph Smith when he was 14 as an answer to his prayers about what Church to join - they said none of them has their authority that he would set up the new church - thats not considered the second coming either, but an appearance). |

Actually it was interesting watching the video clip: At least Romney was being himself. I wish there were more of these informal, unorchestrated exchanges with politicians.
My first was a Mac+. Now I own an iPhone with 3.5x the pixels, a colour display, WiFi, 512x the RAM, >1500x the data storage, and 100x the speed. And it fits in the palm of my hand. |

Once again I agree. I just don't understand why people who can't control their vociferous hatred towards people of faith - regardless of what precipitates the hate or how justified the hate is - choose to nonetheless self-identify as "liberal." I guess they simply like that "liberal" once denoted open-mindedness and they desire to appear aligned with that trait.

What of those religions that offered sacrifices? What of those religions that are ridiculed for many reasons, or thought as heresy? Wicca, Druidism, Paganism, Shamanism and many others, which people have faith in, were (and in some cases, still are) persecuted in areas of our own country. Where is the control of the tolerance and hatred there? Many people have faith and belief. Anvil (the band) had faith and belief that they were going to be rock stars, and 27 years later, after all of their peers have either retired or gone to super stardom, they finally have made it. 27 years and 15 albums later than everyone else. I have faith and belief that if I keep up in my business practices and finally believing in myself, I will be walking away from my full-time job to go to the best job I could ever have: Full Time Dad. Does that take religious faith? no. But it takes faith, which we all (liberals, conservatives, and others) should have. BL. |

From: | bdell | |
I changed resolution from private to protected access and ColorMonitorScreen compiled just fine, so I don't think the statement, "Since ColorPixelPoint is not a member of BasicMonitorScreen, access to BasicMonitorScreen's private and protected members is not allowed," is entirely correct.

That is because protected members of a class are accessible to classes in the same package. I suppose I should have said that the other class needs to be in another package to be more clear.
I appreciate the feedback.

Social Services
When you or a family member is hospitalized at Upper Valley Medical Center (UVMC), your needs can go beyond the expert medical care provided by the hospital's health professionals. That's where the UVMC Social Services department comes in. Our caring, specially trained staff understands about the worries and stresses associated with times of illness. They are here to help you deal with personal, family or financial concerns that may arise during your hospital stay. While in the Hospital
Sometimes patients just need someone to talk with about the uncertainty and fears they are experiencing. They may feel anxious about their family's reaction to their illness and about child and family care while they are hospitalized. Many worry about the financial pressures associated with their illness. Those with long-term conditions may require ongoing rehabilitation or convalescence, which adds to their worries. Our social workers are available to listen and offer support. They can help you sort out your concerns and work with you on finding practical solutions to your problems. Planning Ahead
Proper follow-up care after hospitalization is important for all patients. For some, that may mean care in the home, and for others it may include a stay in a nursing home. Whatever your needs are, the UVMC Social Services staff will work with you and your family to assure that you will receive the ongoing care you require following discharge from the hospital. Referral Services
The Social Services department can provide access to a full network of hospital services and community agencies that offer:
There is no direct charge for consultation with our hospital social workers, and all discussions and records are strictly confidential.
