"Guaranteed contracts, within the context of a salary cap, takes it away from a player who is playing and gives it to a player who is not playing."

"Once you've played in the NHL, I think you get a little misunderstood sometimes. These guys, with the salaries involved now and the way they get treated, people can lose perspective that these guys are human, too. Unfortunately, the job they've chosen, you don't get to have a bad day. It helps that I played in this league; it gives you a legitimacy right away ... But I don't know if there's that much advantage to it."
"With the salaries today, the players more than ever before have a great deal to say about it. They have a direct line to the GM or owner."
"I really don't understand why they did that. He's a heck of a player. I understand the salary cap and all that, but at least they could've traded him and got something for him. But that's what the Patriots do. I can't question them."
"There's no question that low salaries are affecting us. We manage to get some good people despite the salary levels because of our location, but that's not always the case."
"Any of these new systems would continue to pay star players multi-million dollar salaries, would see the maintenance of an average player salary of $1.3 million and would pay the players more than 50 percent of league revenues,"
"I'll bet no one in New Jersey begrudges him that salary. Public officers ought to have set salaries that are sufficient for an average person to serve."

Like a Floridian Retiree, Seth Complains About the Weather
Written by Seth on August 25, 2009
These Hot August Nights have given me headaches, made my joints stiff and achy, and put me in a bad mood.
These have been some Hot August Nights (as the great Neil Diamond once said). The weather in the New York area has been absolutely brutal — hot and sticky with a very unstable atmosphere. This has taken a toll on my body, and I'm ready for the fall.
Or for a fall, whichever comes first.
Part of the problem with humidity is the sweat factor. No matter what you do — whether you're in the sun or the shade — your body sweats like a leaky faucet. This is uncomfortable on the surface but, for me, the discomfort runs much deeper.
These Hot August Nights have given me headaches, made my joints stiff and achy, and put me in a bad mood. And I'm not the only one — over 8 million New Yorkers were pacing the streets, cranky as can be, these past few weeks.
Far be it for me to complain about the heat when there are so many other worthwhile things to complain about. But sometimes you just need to vent.
I am stoked for the morning I wake up chilly, needing to bundle up in a sweater and scarf (just in case).
Call me crazy. Actually, just call me arthritic.

As we get ready to embrace summer, here's what's popular for dressing up our outdoor spaces.
The lineups started early before doors opened Saturday at the Ottawa Convention Centre for the Job Fair at TD Place.
Bonnie Mabee has cycled around her Centretown neighbourhood for years, but she says she sees her neighbourhood through new eyes every time she decides to walk instead.
More than a thousand construction workers are racing to put the finishing touches on the new Lansdowne Park, which officials say is on track to open in less than three months. The target date is July 18, when 24,000 people are expected to descend on brand-new TD Place Stadium for the CFL's return to Ottawa.
The Canadian Tulip Festival returns next month to Queen Juliana Park with a full slate of programming that will include a floral fireworks show, a midway and food concessions.
Ottawa mom Gwenda Lindhorst-Ko is the brains behind myColdCup, an insulated stainless cup designed to keep milk cold for schoolchildren's lunches.
For anyone still clinging to the concept that the new vision for Lansdowne Park as a "unique urban village" -- as has been promised for years — then this week's announcements come as predictably disappointing.
For sure, the big chain coffee stores make good coffee and provide a comfortable space to hang out but there are also many independent coffee shops in Ottawa that take pride in their coffee, their personal service and their intimate café vibe. Here's a few to check out.
Heidi Friesen-Kobayashi — 1956-2013
OakWood Renovation Experts has been named as the first Ottawa-area operation to join Holmes Referred Contractors. Launched by HGTV celebrity contractor Mike Holmes, the program helps homeowners find businesses that have been acknowledged by the Holmes organization as providing quality service.
Holmwood Avenue resident Dennis Brock says he and his neighbours are experiencing a sensory torture chamber as near constant construction across the street at Lansdowne Park enters a second year of an estimated four-year project.
Every Wednesday night, Capital City Speedway comes alive with the sounds and smells of stock-car racing.
Born: Sept. 3, 1930 Died: July 14, 2013
Repaying the Lansdowne loan will cost more than double the principal over 40 years.
OTTAWA — The office building Minto Properties plans to build on Bank Street as part of the Lansdowne Park redevelopment will be the glassiest thing in the Glebe. The city's temporary design-review panel for Lansdowne and the permanent panel of architects and designers who examine all big downtown construction projects have signed off on the plans, Minto chief executive Roger Greenberg said.
A chain drugstore and two big banks have been added to the roster of tenants at the renovated Lansdowne Park, according to the development company handling the retail leasing there.
If only my camera bag could have doubled as a doggy bag at Thursday's Taste in the Glebe fundraiser, where there was just so much good food and drink to be enjoyed inside the Glebe Community Centre.
Every year at this time I like to haul out my state-of-the-art Fibre-Based Information Retrieval System (er, pencil-and-paper day calendar) to consider the wealth of significant food-related events we can expect in the year ahead.
WHAT'S THE STORY? After five years of divisive debate and failed court challenges, the city and the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group began redeveloping Lansdowne Park.
With their rotting flesh, tattered clothes and sunken eyes, the zombies will be easy to spot this Halloween. But if just one of those costumed trick-or-treaters turns out to be the real deal, Ottawa will be overrun by the undead in under a week.

IndyCar driver Ed Carpenter is leaving Sarah Fisher Racing to start his own team.
IndyCar drivers Tony Kanaan and Vitor Meira are ready for the race of their lives: the Ironman World Championships at Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
Paul Tracy's firm belief that he beat Helio Castroneves here seven years ago would almost sound bitter if not for the twist that has him back and hopeful in this year's Indianapolis 500.
Mario Moraes, a 20-year-old Brazilian, has a week to learn the difference between how he's driving Indianapolis Motor Speedway and how his bosses want him to, but he still managed to meet the bottom line in last weekend's qualifying.
Nine drivers bound for the IndyCar Series and 11 with uncertain racing futures, all in cars about to become obsolete, are set to write the final chapter in the history of the Champ Car World Series on Sunday in the 34th Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.
Since his son, Graham, punctuated the dawn of a new era in Indy car racing two weeks ago by becoming its youngest winner, Bobby Rahal has been asked incessantly about the future. There is, however, a question the car owner and former champion driver no longer needs to answer.
When Jimmy Vasser began preparing for a one-race return to an open-wheel cockpit after a two-year retirement, he was ready to hop immediately into a high-speed vehicle.
The owners of the Champ Car World Series have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy just two weeks after agreeing to an open-wheel unification plan with the Indy Racing League. The bankruptcy filing will not affect the IRL deal, said Jeff Hokanson, a lawyer representing Champ Car.
Paul Tracy is looking for a ride. A spokesman for Gerald Forsythe, co-owner of the Champ Car World Series and owner of Forsythe Championship Racing, said Thursday the team will no longer race Indy Cars and will instead compete only in the developmental Atlantic Series.
While the Champ Car World Series is no more, there will be one more Champ Car race. Indy Racing League founder Tony George and Kevin Kalkhoven, owner of the now-defunct Champ Car series, Wednesday revealed some details of the unification of America's two open-wheel series, including the April 20 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach will be run by Champ Car teams.
Now comes the hard part: making the merger between America's two major open-wheel series work. "It'll be long and tedious and expensive and a lot of work to put it all together," car owner Derrick Walker said Monday after an orientation meeting for the Champ Car teams that are expected to make the switch to the Indy Racing League's IndyCar Series this season.
Now comes the hard part: making the merger between America's two major open-wheel series work.
Former Champ Car teams will gather at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Monday afternoon for a post-merger orientation, allowing them to check out the new rules and equipment that comes with a switch to the IndyCar Series. But IRL founder Tony George says that not even he knows what to expect from the reunification of U.S. open-wheel racing announced Friday.
With America's two open-wheel series finally unified, the calendar poses the next roadblock: The season-opening race is just five weeks away.
With America's two open-wheel series finally unified, the calendar poses the next roadblock: The season-opening race is just five weeks away.
Indy Car racing has finally gotten together. The Indy Racing League and the Champ Car World Series signed a deal Friday to unify the two American open-wheel circuits, bringing them under the umbrella of the IRL.
The obvious can only be ignored for so long.
After 12 divided years, American open-wheel racing has reunited under the same name. The Indy Racing League and Champ Car World Series on Friday signed a deal finalizing the merger of the two circuits, which at the very least will see the oval-based IRL absorb six Champ Car teams in time for the IndyCar Series opener on March 29 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Water is a ubiquitous chemical substance, composed of hydrogen and oxygen, that is essential for the survival of many known forms of life. In typical usage, water refers only to its liquid form or state, but the substance also has a solid state, ice, and a gaseous state, water vapor or steam. Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface. On Earth, it is found mostly in oceans and other large water bodies, with 1.6% of water below ground in aquifers and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air), and precipitation. Saltwater oceans hold 97% of surface water, glaciers and polar ice caps 2.4%, and other land surface water such as rivers, lakes and ponds 0.6%. A very small amount of the Earth's water is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products. Other water is trapped in ice caps, glaciers, aquifers, or in lakes, sometimes providing fresh water for life on land.
Water moves continually through a cycle of evaporation or transpiration (evapotranspiration), precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea. Winds carry water vapor over land at the same rate as runoff into the sea. Over land, evaporation and transpiration contribute to the precipitation over land.
Clean, fresh drinking water is essential to human and other lifeforms. Access to safe drinking water has improved steadily and substantially over the last decades in almost every part of the world. There is a clear correlation between access to safe water and GDP per capita. However, some observers have estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability. Water plays an important role in the world economy, as it functions as a solvent for a wide variety of chemical substances and facilitates industrial cooling and transportation. Approximately 70 percent of freshwater is consumed by agriculture.

Did Face Unlock go away?
I moved over to AOKP for a little while, but I got tired of not getting my Gmail and GV text notifications in a timely fashion, so I decided to come back over to Liquidsmooth. I've pulled down RC8, and on the whole, I'm liking it very much. One thing bugging me though - I can't seem to find the face unlock option, although I can find the others (PIN, password, etc.). I was last on Liquidsmooth in the beta versions before this series of release candidates, and it was still in those. Did they remove that option, or am I just not finding it? It's not a show-stopper, but it was a cool thing to have. Thanks for any suggestions offered.

A UNIX SysAdmin Makes Friends With a Mac
by Brian K. Jones
I really committed to making it my primary workhorse, shunning my nice dual-lcd-monitor linux box and a perfectly usable Gateway laptop ("the monster" - 17" screen and a full numeric keypad!!). It has been about one month since the MacBook Pro showed up, and I haven't had to use any other machine for about 2 weeks. It took a little bit of googling to find everything I needed, and there's still one or two pieces of the pie missing, but overall, I think I can definitely call this machine "admin ready".
So let's have a look at what I've done to my MacBook to make it worthy, and maybe some friendly readers can help me fill in some as yet missing pieces!

If you use MySQL, you can use the Toolbench they've started working on (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/1.0.html). I haven't played with it enough to see how flexible you can make it (read: export to something Postgres or someone else can import).

|Minicom (which can be had from fink) works fine if you install the driver for your usb-serial setup. I use keyspans just fine. I have also had good luck with pyserial. Just expect the entry in /dev/ to be a bit whacky like tty.KeySerial1 or have a USA in it.

Well, I haven't tried yet, but I'm not sure my old method of connecting directly to the serial port of a server using a USB-to-serial adapter will work. I haven't looked for a minicom or hypterterm package for the Mac, either. A smaller thing I'd like to fix (it hasn't made it to the top of the priority list yet) is I'd like the delete key on my keyboard to act like a backspace key.

|For database you could try DbVisualizer (www.minq.se) is a Java app so works with almost any database that has a JDBC adapter. The free version has most features, the paid version has spreadsheet like table editors etc.

I made the jump to OS X a few months ago, too, and haven't looked back. My only pet peeve has been the Backspace (or big delete) key when using vi under iTerm on a remote linux box. Well, today I finally figured it out -- and since I couldn't find a decent explanation anywhere, I thought I'd post it here.
2006-11-02 11:47:25
Back again with one more comment... having fixed the Backspace problem, I noticed that the 'del' key also wasn't working correctly. The small 'del' key should erase the character to the right of the cursor. To accomplish this in iTerm, follow my previous steps -- this time selecting 'del' from the Key drop down box and sending hex code 7F.

It is a cold day in eastern South Dakota, with warmer air just west of the James River. Unfortunately, the ribbon of warm air will be followed by another front packing strong NW winds later tonight through tomorrow.
On the leading edge of the warm air is a band of very light snow, in northern South Dakota. As it crosses the area overnight, under 1" of light snow will fall. The problem is that we'll have more wind-driven snowflakes tonight and tomorrow. It should not be as severe as our recent blizzard (winds won't be as strong), but there could certainly be travel problems in open areas, especially along both sides of I-29 to the east into SW Minnesota. (Rule of thumb: if you can see a wind turbine, you are in the area most likely to experience blowing snow problems late tonight and tomorrow.)
A Winter Weather Advisory is posted for eastern South Dakota and western Minnesota, starting at midnight tonight and running until 6 pm tomorrow. Aberdeen, Pierre and Mobridge are in a Wind Advisory.
For the entire region, we expect NW winds 25-35, with higher gusts, tonight and tomorrow. Temperature-wise, not so bad. In fact, temperatures tomorrow may even be warmer than today… around 30 in eastern South Dakota.
We're really looking forward to Sunday: Upper 30s in eastern KELOLAND, and the 40s to 50s West River. Skies will be mostly sunny. And we'll keep sunny skies for Martin Luther King Day (Monday) as well.

In a minimalist office with ivory carpeting and black accents, Dr. Glenn Detlefsen and his staff polish away fine lines and resurface skin with injectables, laser treatments, photofacials, and peels, which can bring a youthful glow to visages without permanently situating them over a birthday cake with five flickering candles. The center bases treatments on results from Visia digital skin analysis, which investigates six aspects contributing to the health and appearance of clients' facial features, including the depth and frequency of wrinkles, the size of pores, and the number of freckles feigned with magic marker.
Simply Massage's therapists and aestheticians pay attention to the little things. Having already mastered massage techniques that cater to a wide range of ailments, the therapists turn their focus to the intangible elements that add up to a stress-melting spa experience. Before starting the clock on a reiki or deep-tissue massage, for example, they wait until their clients are fully unclothed and ready—this small courtesy ensures a full 60 or 90 minutes of hands-on therapy.
Not to be outdone by their therapist counterparts, the spa's aestheticians enhance facial peels and other treatments with bottomless hot towels and bottled water. They exclusively use Nufree—a soy-based, nonsticking alternative to wax—when removing hair from hard-to-reach Brazilian areas or harder-to-reach Bolivian areas.
Built-in back massagers greet guests as they sink into Elite Nail Spa's pipeless pedicure chairs, perched above foot jacuzzis with massaging whirlpool jets. Sea-salt scrubs and seaweed or mineral masks help exfoliate and nourish both feet and hands, which don french tips, gel polishes, and other eye-catching accoutrements. The spa also tailors Princess pedicures to children younger than 12 and paints ACT answers on the toenails of high-school seniors. In addition to nail services, Elite Nail Spa treats guests to Swedish, hot-stone, acupressure, and other varieties of massage, as well as custom facials with extractions and vapor treatments.
Natasha Kennedy knows what it feels like to be stressed. Along with being the owner of Aloha! Massage and Spa, the massage therapist is a licensed aesthetician, holistic nutrition coach, nursing student, and mother of five. She uses her knowledge and experience to help others who might be leading busy, stressful, or overwhelming lives. At Alhoa!, she provides five different massage styles including Swedish, deep-tissue, and hot-stone massage. In LomiLomi massages, she uses her forearm to stroke the body and mimic the waves of the ocean or splash after a cannon ball. Meanwhile, her mommy-to-be and post natal massages aim to ease labor pains and reduce stress. All of her techniques bring about various benefits including improved circulation, enhanced sleep quality, and decreased anxiety.
Making people happy. You could say that's big part of what Joules owner and certified laser technician Grace Miller does. At the center, she teams with medical director Annika Crosby to alleviate the cosmetic concerns of both their male and female clients. Grace handles the med spa side of things with services that include laser hair-removal treatments, microdermabrasions, and facials. Annika complements those offerings, overseeing medical weight-loss programs as well as Botox, Juvederm, and Radiesse injections. The spa staff also pairs pampering services with frequent party-like gatherings that include drinks and snacks.
The massage therapists at 3 Springs Massage & Yoga soothe sinews with a menu of Eastern and Western techniques. In the waiting room of the studio, flames flicker in a stone fireplace and creeping vines hang above doorframes and potted orchids. The massage therapists, members of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals, knead muscles with techniques such as Swedish, hot stone, reflexology, and tuina. Yoga classes disperse relaxed sighs across a spacious room with mint-green walls and a stately fireplace.

Social giant increases lead over Yahoo.
Facebook's share of U.S. display ad impressions grew to 27.9 percent during 2011, according to comScore data revealed on Monday. It's a sizable lift; the Reston, VA-based researcher estimated Facebook's 2010 share of display ads at 21 percent.
Yahoo's currently second with 11 percent of the market, comScore says, while Microsoft, Google, and AOL trail with less than 5 percent apiece. ComScore has placed Facebook No. 1 in the display ad impressions category since 2009.
As Facebook - which may file for a public offering as early as Wednesday - has grown to more than 800 million users worldwide, brands have gotten on board with vigor. The Menlo Park, CA-based digital giant has successfully courted Madison Avenue during the last two years in particular.
"Any time a site becomes so influential to the full digital landscape, advertisers are forced to pay attention," comScore rep Andrew Lipsman told ClickZ News. "There was a time when brands thought of Facebook as a place for kids and teenagers. That's obviously not the case anymore.

No to fracking in Ceredigion, says Mike Parker
2:51pm Thursday 10th July 2014 in News
Mike Parker, Plaid Cymru's Westminster candidate for Ceredigion, has declared his opposition to the exploitation of unconventional gas in an event held at Aberystwyth bandstand as part of Friends of the Earth's campaigning day against fracking.
The event, organized by Anti-Fracking West and Mid-Wales, called on the Welsh First Minister to declare a Moratorium on Fracking in Wales.
Plaid's MP candidate for Ceredigion, Mike Parker said,
"It was great to see such a lively event and enthusiastic response to the Friends of the Earth's day of campaigning against fracking. With bands, speakers and all kinds of local performers, Aberystwyth prom was humming!
"There are clear environmental concerns with fracking, such as contamination of the water table, methane leakage and earthquakes, as we saw off the coast of Lancashire when drilling began there.
"Meanwhile, once again, Wales will not benefit financially from our natural resources as there will be limited jobs created and profits sent elsewhere.
"The solution to concerns about our future energy security is to invest in energy efficiency to reduce energy use and cut bills and to generate more renewable energy through Wales' substantial hydro and tidal power opportunities.
"Despite widespread public opposition to fracking, the UK Government continues to push shale gas and fracking as an answer to our energy security problems, while the Welsh Government stays silent rather than standing up for Wales against this 'dash for dirty gas'."

Youth Media Symposium (YMS) is a project of Rutgers University's Abbott Leadership Institute. YMS teaches Newark high school students that they have a voice, and can become leaders by learning the skills associated with the media: research, investigation, planning, public speaking, and video production.
Through classes, guest speakers, trips, producing video documentaries and other hands-on activities, the young people have learned to ask questions about the quality of their education in Newark.
The campaign emphasis this year continues to be the issue of college readiness. On Dec. 11,YMS plays host to students from several Newark high schools asking the questions, "Why do some schools in Newark have more college readiness capacity than others? Why do schools in the suburbs do better in preparing their students than the schools of Newark?
Students from Newark high schools
Wed., Dec. 11, 4 – 6 p.m.
Room 148, Bradley Hall, Rutgers University, 392 Martin Luther King Blvd., Newark
Junius Williams, executive director of the Abbott Leadership Institute, said, "This is evidence that our young people in Newark are interested in their future. They want equality across the district and across the state. They are today's leaders in education advocacy."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--A new study from LifeWay Research reveals that more than two-thirds of young adults who attend a Protestant church for at least a year in high school will stop attending church regularly for at least a year between the ages of 18 and 22.
LifeWay Research conducted the survey of more than 1,000 adults ages 18-30 in April and May. Each indicated that they had attended a Protestant church regularly for at least a year in high school.
According to the study, 70 percent of young adults ages 23-30 stopped attending church regularly for at least a year between ages 18-22.
In most cases, the decision to leave was not planned far in advance. Only 20 percent of these "church dropouts" agree that while they were attending church regularly in high school they "planned on taking a break from church once [they] finished high school."
Among those who predetermined to leave church, few told anyone about their desire. One reflected, "I just told my parents I didn't like it," rather than sharing an intention to actually leave. Another said, "I kept my feelings secret for fear of losing my friends."
"Lots of alarming numbers have been tossed around regarding church dropouts," said Ed Stetzer, director of LifeWay Research, the research arm of LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention. "We wanted to get at the real situation with clear research - and there is some bad news here, no question. But, there are also some important solutions to be found in the research. When we know why people drop out, we can address how to help better connect them."
Ninety-seven percent of church dropouts list a so-called life change or life situation as the reason for leaving. Among those reasons listed by dropouts:
-- "I simply wanted a break from church" (27 percent).
-- "I moved to college and stopped attending church" (25 percent).
-- "Work responsibilities prevented me from attending" (23 percent).
-- "I moved too far away from the church to continue attending" (22 percent).
A previous LifeWay Research study of church switchers confirmed that a residential move is the most frequent reason adults switch churches.
"A move beyond your local community breaks the existing ties to a local church," said Scott McConnell, associate director of LifeWay Research. "It requires intentional effort to search for a new church home that may not occur immediately, even for those interested in church."
How young people use their time and the relationships they choose can also lead them away from church. Twenty-two percent "became too busy, though still wanted to attend," and 17 percent "chose to spend more time with friends outside the church."
"In our three studies related to church attendance practices: 'The Formerly Churched,' 'Church Switchers' and now the 'Teenage Dropout' study, one thing is abundantly clear," said Brad Waggoner, vice president of research and ministry development at LifeWay. "Relationships are often the glue that keep people in church or serves as the attraction to begin attending again following a period of absenteeism. Many people are deeply influenced by friends and loved ones."
Waggoner advised, "Church leaders should passionately and consistently challenge church members to maximize their influence with youth and young adults. Frequent and intentional contact can either prevent or counteract the tendency of some to drop out of church."
Fifty-eight percent of church dropouts selected at least one church or pastor-related reason for leaving church. Most common was, "church members seemed judgmental or hypocritical" (26 percent). Another 20 percent "didn't feel connected to the people in my church."
The final category of reasons, "religious, ethical or political beliefs," contributed to the departure of 52 percent of church dropouts. Two reasons for leaving reflect this category: "I disagreed with the church's stance on political or social issues" (18 percent) and "I was only going to church to please others" (17 percent).
Although they only represent 30 percent of those who attended a Protestant church for at least a year in high school, young adults who stay in church through ages 18-22 see the relevance, benefits and purpose of the church now and for their future. Among the most commons reason were:
-- "Church was a vital part of my relationship with God" (65 percent).
-- "I wanted the church to help guide my decisions in everyday life" (58 percent).
-- "I felt that church was helping me become a better person" (50 percent).
-- "[I was] committed to the purpose and work of the church" (42 percent).
Many of those who drop out do return eventually. Among former church dropouts who are now ages 23-30, 35 percent currently attend church twice a month or more. Another 30 percent attend church more sporadically. Thus, about two-thirds of those who leave do return at some level.
This return to church after being gone for at least a year is primarily the result of encouragement from others. The most common reasons for returning are:
-- "My parents or family members encouraged me to attend" (39 percent).
-- "My friends or acquaintances encouraged me to attend" (21 percent).
-- "I simply felt the desire to return" (34 percent).
-- "I felt that God was calling me to return to the church" (28 percent).
Women are more likely than men to feel "the desire to return" (41 percent vs. 22 percent) and to feel "God was calling me to return to church" (34 percent vs. 18 percent).
In contrast to the life changes that drove many away from church, life events also bring young adults back to church.
Twenty-four percent return to church because "I had children and felt it was time for them to start attending." This reason is significantly more common for women than men (31 percent vs. 13 percent). Twenty percent "got married and wanted to attend with my spouse."
Attendance patterns among teenagers and young adults reveal that each year many move in and out of consistent church attendance. Young adults were asked to indicate at which ages they attended church at least twice a month beginning with "under 14" through their current age.
Most indicate they attended at the four youngest ages tested: under 14 (70 percent), age 14 (66 percent), age 15 (68 percent), and age 16 (68 percent). However, each year some began attending while others stopped attending twice a month. In fact, only 53 percent indicate they attended at all of these ages. This low level of loyalty through age 16 is a precursor to the declines that follow.
The percent attending twice a month drops sharply at ages 17, 18 and 19, with only 31 percent attending at age 19. Attendance remains low through age 22, and then slowly begins to climb.
"When, by God's grace, young people see the church as essential in their lives and choose to continue attending, their loyalty remains strong," McConnell said. Among young adults ages 23-30 who stayed in church during ages 18-22, only 6 percent do not currently attend church.
"There is no easy way to say it, but it must be said," Stetzer said. "Parents and churches are not passing on a robust Christian faith and an accompanying commitment to the church. We can take some solace in the fact that many do eventually return. But, Christian parents and churches need to ask the hard question, 'What is it about our faith commitment that does not find root in the lives of our children?'"

Coty • Halle by Halle Berry • Fragrances

*TOP REVIEWER* iamcasihart on 4/24/2010 8:33:00 AM more reviews by iamcasihart
Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool Hair: Brown, Straight, Fine Eyes: Blue
Normally, I don't write a review for a fragrance unless I like it or love it. However, I feel compelled to give my opinion of Halle Berry's first fragrance. As others have mentioned, Halle has no "wow" factor. This is one of the most watered-down, bland, unmemorable perfumes that I have ever tried! It doesn't smell bad...In fact, it really doesn't have much of a scent at all. Upon testing, I detected a cheap-smelling, very faint pear and musk. I could hardly smell it and after about ten minutes, it had completely evaporated. The notes for Halle read like a pleasant, wearable fragrance. The advert campaign for Halle sounded promising, as Halle Berry claims that she created something that would wear, using some of her favorite notes. It is unfortunate that this "perfume" fails to translate into anything more than lightly-scented tap water, at best.

I wanted to try Halle by Halle Berry. Especially since it lists fig as a top note. I don't really detect the fig but I get a healthy dose of always pleasant mimosa on first spritz. This quickly dries down to the sandalwood base but the now light mimosa aroma is ever present.
Halle is a nice, quite light, not accomplished but nonoffensive scent which can be worn to work. There are not a lot of notes here: fig, mimosa, olibanum (spicy note...barely detectable) and sandalwood. Thus; one cannot say that the scent evolves. There's little to evolve here.
Good for a Coty fragrance. Nothing special, but o.k.

I love this perfume! I got this CVS for only $16 and it even came with a cute cosmetic bag! It is exactually like Hilary Duff's With Love. I get so many compliments on this perfume- but don't use too much!- A little goes a long way!

I get nothing but compliments when I wear this. It goes with any occasion or outfit. I feel sexy as hell(o) while wearing it. It has replaced all my other fragrances. And I'm so addicted to it I wear it even when I'm not going anywhere because it makes me happy - for real.
Definitely a keeper!

I found this while picking up some Burts Bees products at the local Walgreens. The top and middle notes, fruit and florals respectively are truly lovely as well as the forshadowing of the bitter base notes. Is it sandalwood lending its bitterness (which I love) to the base notes? The first impression is edible sweetness with a touch of spice. For the first 15-20 minutes, this is a delightful gourmand.
However, the fruit (fig leaf, pear blossom and bergamot) and the florals (mimosa, hibiscus and freesia) are too fleeting and once they are gone, they are gone for good.
Alone the base notes (musk, sandalwood, amber and frankincense) are too masculine for me. And these are all that's left in about 20 minutes or so.
The top and middle notes moderate the base in the most delicious, intriguing ways while they are present. However, they don't last long enough. The "naked" base notes are not me at all, too much Yang with no Yin. Otherwise, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a bottle.

I seriously thought I would love this, the notes included in Halle are notes I typically love but alas it only smells of musk on me, just one flat musky note. I love musk but I need some more excitement in my perfume. I do like Halle Orchid a bit better but not enough to buy it. Sadly both of these perfumes are an my "no" list...sorry Halle. :o(

I dare say I smell patchouli in this, I hate patchouli! Otherwise, this would be a nice fragrance, almost beachy. Some have said it smells of candy, I don't think so, I actually think it's very nice, other than the patchouli.

when a celebrity comes out with their own fragrance, I usually do not get sucked into the hype. This time I fell for it because I am a fan of Halle Berry's, but I tried it a few times with the test bottle at Walgreens to make sure it worked well with my chemistry. Then I asked for it for a Mother's Day gift in 2009 and got it (my dh is notorious for being a last minute shopper & hates to shop. I have to make things very easy to find. I had also asked for EL Sensuous for Mother's Day 2009 and ended up getting it as a wedding anniversary gift because we went to Ulta together).
Anyway, as far as celebrity scents, this is a winner for me. Celebrity scents get a bad reputation because in general it's viewed as another way for a celebrity to make more $ on their fame and their name. Whatever. While I like a variety of scents, I guess I hate the thrill of the chase for a htf, more obscure scent and in some cases they may still end up smelling like a mass-marketed fragrance (this would also be dependent upon body chemistry). I like the fact that the business decision was made to have this scent marketed on a discount department store/drugstore level pricing level instead of starting off as a high priced department store scent then tricking down to the drugstores, etc.
Halle Berry's premier fragrance on me translates as a warm, sweet fig, ambery fragrance with sandalwood. These are some of my favorite notes. I find it easy to wear (lightly spritzed ) in warm weather. It's great for cool weather. I do receive compliments on this scent. I tend to wear this as an everyday casual fragrance. I'm almost finished my 1 ounce bottle in under a year, and that says a lot since I have tons of other fragrances. I would definitely repurchase or request as a gift again.

LOVE! Celebrity fragrances are my guilty pleasure, and this one does not disappont. It's spicy and warm with vanilla and chocolate notes. but not overpowering. I got a gift set for 50% off after Christmas at Rite Aid, so I think it was about $8 for a 1 oz bottle and a lotion...not bad!
This reminds me a lot of With Love by Hilary Duff, but softer. However, this doesn't last very long on me, so one lippie off for that.

Smoke From Yellowstone Fires Increases With Warmer Weather
Forty firefighters remain assigned to the Columbine Fire. They're working on line construction and mopping up in the Canfield Creek drainage, patrolling for spot fires, and continuing to protect structures along the North Fork Road outside the park. The fire is estimated at 18,510 acres and is 17 percent contained. Updates are available on the web at http://inciweb.org/incident/920/ or by phone at 307-344-2580.
The Promontory Complex covers about 1,600 acres of a large peninsula at the south end of Yellowstone Lake. Active burning along the west side of the fire has been observed.
Smoke has also been seen on the perimeter of the Beaverdam Fire, which is east of the southeast arm of Yellowstone Lake and south of the Columbine Fire. It remains estimated at 1,300 acres.
The Lookout Fire is located about a mile and a half southwest of Heart Lake. The lightning-caused fire was discovered Sunday afternoon and is estimated at three acres in size.
The Promontory, Beaverdam and Lookout fires are all being actively managed as a Wildland Fires Used for Resource Benefit, since they pose no threat to people or property.
Light rain is reported across portions of Yellowstone National Park this morning. The weather forecast calls for a chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms through the Labor Day holiday weekend.
Large fires burning in Idaho and Western Montana are responsible for most of the smoky haze occasionally visible over portions of Yellowstone National Park.
None of the fires in the park pose a threat to visitors. All park entrances and roads are open to the public.
All camping, lodging, restaurants, stores, service stations, and visitor centers inside the park are open. Updated Yellowstone National Park road information is available 24 hours a day by calling 307-344-2117.
The Specimen Creek trail has reopened. All backcountry campsites on The Promontory and campsite WE1 in the northwest corner of the park are temporarily closed. Updated information is available at all of the park's Backcountry Offices or by calling 307-344-2160 during business hours.
Yellowstone National Park aggressively works to suppress all human-caused fires and any naturally occurring fires when they threaten people or developed areas.
Yellowstone averages twenty-two lightning caused fires a year. Sixteen of the twenty-two fires which have occurred in the park this year have been started by lightning.

What Te'o said to try to explain girlfriend hoax
Updated: January 19, 2013, 10:58 PM ETAssociated Press
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o tried to clear the air about how he fell into an online relationship with a fictitious woman he met online who called herself Lennay Kekua. His grief at her "death" became a major story during the college football season. The problem was Kekua was a hoax -- there was no such person.

Sending from Gmail on Outlook.com on iPhone
This may be a bit of a noob question but here it goes.
I have my Gmail account set to forward mails to my Outlook.com account as I switched a while back. One feature of Outlook.com is that it still lets you send mails from your Gmail address through it.
Is there anyway to do this through the stock mail app on iOS ?
