Lake Erie harmful algae bloom threatens drinking water supplies—an FAQ
Lake Erie is no stranger to algae blooms, including blooms of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), which can produce toxins that pose health threats. Blue-green algae are toxin producers, also known as Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs). This past weekend, the city of Toledo, Ohio and a number of municipalities and townships in southeast Michigan lost their normal source of drinking water – Lake Erie – due to Microcystin, the toxin produced by Microcystis that was detected in water samples. Microcystin is the most common HAB species in the Great Lakes.
For those dealing with Harmful Algae Blooms, or water supplies contaminated by toxins from HABs, many critical questions come immediately to mind. Some of the most common Frequently Asked Questions and their answers follow:

Boat Tours, Paddle-craft Rentals and Select Conveniences Temporarily Unavailable
Glass-bottom, snorkel, diving and island boat tours, and rentals for canoes and other paddle-craft, are temporarily unavailable. The park is working to resolve the issue as soon as possible and regrets the inconvenience. Limited snack items are available.
Elliott Key Partial Reopening
Contact: Christiana Admiral, 305-230-1144, x018
Contact: Gary Bremen, 305-230-1144, x007
Most of Elliott Key, Biscayne National Park's largest island, has been reopened to public access after being closed for two days as a result of damage sustained during Hurricane Sandy earlier this week. The harbor, oceanside boardwalk and portions of the island's campground remain closed indefinitely, but University Dock, Spite Highway, restrooms, the oceanside group campsite and bayside family camping areas are all open to the public. The concrete maintenance dock south of the harbor is closed to the public and open to official use only. Boca Chita Key, Adams Key and other areas of the park remain open as they were prior to the storm's brush with South Florida.
Vessels that can be hand-carried from the shoreline (such as canoes, kayaks and other small boats) can land on the island, but visitors journeying across the bay or from larger vessels anchored offshore should remember that there is no access to any of the floating docks or finger piers in the harbor area.
"We realize that opening an island without reopening the harbor makes it a difficult situation for many of our visitors," said Biscayne National Park Superintendent Mark Lewis. "Still, with the arrival of cooler weather, many people are wanting to take advantage of the season for camping, kayaking and walking and there's no reason to prevent those activities. I'm confident that visitors will use common sense and the utmost care as they wander the trails, as loose debris is likely anywhere on the island"
Interested parties are invited to follow the park's Facebook (www.Facebook.com/BiscayneNPS) and Twitter (www.Twitter.com/BiscayneNPS) feeds, or visit the park's website at www.nps.gov/bisc for additional updates.
Did You Know?
For 50 years, four generations of the Sweeting family thrived on Biscayne National Park's Elliott Key. Here they raised pineapples, salvaged wrecked ships, went to school, worshipped and played at the northern end of Florida's Keys.

Never go long solar stocks, epically JKS the biggest pos of all Solar companies. Well trade under $15 by years end.
Just like loser Ackman u to will be broke after shorting HLF... LOl....FOOLS!

Synovus (NYSE:SNV): Q2 EPS of $0.35 misses by $0.13.
Revenue of $268.43M (+1.0% Y/Y) beats by $1.9M.
Netflix offers light EPS guidance, but strong subscriber figures
Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) expects Q3 EPS of $0.89, below a $1.06 consensus.
570K U.S. streaming subs were added in Q2, above guidance of 520K. 1.12M international subs were added, above guidance of 940K. The U.S. and international bases respectively stood at 36.2M and 13.8M at quarter's end. The DVD base fell by 391K to 6.3M.

Seagate narrows AH losses after providing guidance
At one point down over 4% AH due to its FQ4 revenue miss, Seagate (NASDAQ:STX) is down just 0.7% after guiding on its CC for FQ1 revenue of at least $3.55B. That's slightly better than a $3.54B consensus.
Seagate estimates the total addressable market (TAM) for hard drives was 133M-136M units in FQ4, roughly in-line with guidance. The company estimates its share slipped to ~39% from 40% in FQ3 and a year ago. Average drive capacity +3% Q/Q and +11% Y/Y to 945GB.

Free cash flow was $446M in FQ4, and $2B in FY14.
Buy at $23 to 25, sell at $29 to 30. Start your short position at $29 to 30 & cover at $25. In the long run JKS trades down to $15
Na, this is going to $80
Like I said, this is going to $30 before u get a bounce. Short all u can at these noise bleed levels..
First is getting FTC approval, which well take time & there's no guarantee that they well approve this deal. Second is time, 6 to 12 months to get this deal done? Way to long, & the shorts know this & well drive this stock down. Third getting RAI share holder approval. Even though BTA owns 42% they still need to get the 51% plus to get it through. I see Lo trading around $57 to $59 for the next 3 to 6 months before you see any move up. Glta...
I'm a moron? Your the smuck who bought at $63 could of sold at $69, & now LO sits at $60. So who's the smuck? But then again you really only have 100 shares. Keep drinking the cool aide fool!
What the hell buy another 10,000 shares , that way your average will come down, beside what's another "$600,000 among bullshiters
This company is about to go under, good luck in peddling this pos.

Fines for feeding ducks
Families who feed the ducks in Ely are being warned that they could face fines potentially of up to two and a half thousand pounds.
The unusual Muscovy Ducks have become one of the city's attractions over the years.
But they've also prompted complaints from residents about bird mess on the pavements... so the local council has decided to take action.

MILAN, Italy -- Inter Milan has been ordered by the Italian league to play its next home match with one end of San Siro closed as punishment for fan racism.
A 1-1 draw between Inter and Juventus on Saturday was marred by Inter fans targeting two Juventus players with racist chants.
It's the third time this Serie A season that a squad will play with part of its stadium closed due to racism.
Lazio was punished in its opener for supporters' actions in the Italian Super Cup against Juventus and Roma was penalized in the second round for racism toward AC Milan players at the end of last season.
Inter was also fined 15,000 euros ($20,000).
Inter's next home match is against Fiorentina on Sept. 26.

Hello there!
I just released v0.6 of Dianara, my pump.io app.
I'm using it daily now, and I barely need the web interface.
Current status
In addition to what was possible in v0.5, this release adds:
- Option to show all comments in a post.
- Shows if the user has liked a post, and allows to 'unlike' it. The user can also see who liked a post, in a tooltip.
- The contact list now shows all the contacts, both 'following' and 'followers'.
- Uploading images is now possible, although they still can't have title and description.
- The user can select if a post goes to Public, Followers or both.
- Clicking on posted images shows them in full size, in an internal viewer.
- There is a link in every post to open it in the web browser.
- Autoupdates don't interrupt the user while browsing the timeline.
And, of course, lots of other small bugfixes and minor cleanups.
There's still some way to go before Dianara can be considered ready, but at this point, I find it quite usable for my daily use. Some parts of it are still rough, and there are some annoyances, but those will probably go away soon.
Get it
You can get the code from Qt-apps.org: http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/Dianara?content=148103, and hopefully we'll see Dianara packaged for some GNU/linux distributions soon. For now, you can at least find it in Archlinux's AUR. And I've been told that a Gentoo Ebuild is coming.
Debian users might need some components from the experimental branch at this time. Check the INSTALL file for details.
Feedback is appreciated!

I go here often and the food is always delicious and the service is super friendly. The complimentary salami which is offered as soon as you sit down always puts me in a great mood!
Posted: Tue Dec 15 2009
The Sophie in question is Sophie Mogford, who cut her teeth at Smollensky's and the Conran Group before joining forces with Rupert Power and setting up Sophie's seven years ago. The duo's time with their previous employers is much in evidence at the original branch in Chelsea (still open): a polite, faintly provincial and entirely professional British take on a New York steakhouse. However, their Conran-inspired showiness is really to the fore at this enormous Covent Garden offshoot, which takes the original's mock-warehouse motifs (exposed pipes, brick walls, high ceilings) and amplifies them for a brasher central London crowd. Given the new location, the food is about as good as it needs to be. The fairly priced menu is careful not to ruffle any feathers. From the list of uncomplicated and over-familiar starters (so-so calamares, tired caesar salad, dull chicken liver pâté) to the string of tried-and-tested desserts (cheesecake, brownies, lemon meringue pie), surprises are conspicuous by their absence. So too is inspiration. The steaks are fine, as they should be, and the service is unfailingly impressive, but little else will linger long in the memory.

The rescue story of a little bullie girl named Courage...
Posted July 18, 2010 9:03 am
Meet Courage - the reason we have been going crazy these last couple days. It all started when we saw this ad online: Free special needs English bulldog. She is roughly 10 tall and weighs 35 lbs. We have been treating her for allergies and fleas but she has not regrown her hair. It would be a wast to put her down, but I am getting faced with no other option. She is 1 yr old.
Upon speaking with the author of the ad above, we found out he was a breeder. He lives out in Baker County, FL and has 3 acres of land where puppies - grandparents run free. We told him who we were and what we do & conviced him to let us have Courage, opposed to just some Joe Schmoe responding to his ad wanting a free puppy but unaware of the whole situation. Courage has been living outside on 3 acres since birth. There are 3 generations living on the 3 acres, BYB at it's best, horrible and unthinkable conditions and my mouth just hung open as this breeder continued to talk to me over the phone. Turns out that little Courage is the only survior of 3 litters. All previous bad litters per breeder were either all stillborn, never carried to term by female or were solid white blind & deaf. He even gave me his website to see, he breeds most Olde English Bulldogs, but none the less, I thought I was going to barf. I acted like I was his friend and agreed with everything he said, I'd do anything just to save this one bullie girl and get the info I needed so later I could report him.
We acted quickly to arrange transport to pick up Courage. The breeder refused to hold her until the morning for us, so we had just 4 hours to get her. Finally, we found a nice volunteer to drive over and hour and a half just to pick her up. He did so and brought her back to his home in Jax. The next day we arranged a 6 person bullie railroad from Jacksonville Beach to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Thank you to all involved in this very emotional rescue. I personally have yet to meet this bullie girl, several of you will meet her before I do as she travels down the entire east coast of FL to get to AABR headquarters. Courage's profile will be updated with the offical results of her medical status once all the pending tests come back from the lab.
Greedy Bastards!!!
Posted July 2, 2010 10:10 am
If you had 2 English Bulldogs that you were trying to re-home who were living in your backyard, a mother and son pair ages 7 and 5, (so you claim) covered in fleas, filthy dirty, past due on everything medical including state required rabies, both un-sterilized, and 1 with a cleft palate - don't you think you'd want to surrender them to rescue, to an organization that would actually take care of them and raise the funds needed to ensure their health and get all surgeries needed.... right?!?!? Of course not! You'd rather sell them for $200 and want nothing to do with rescue! After 3 failed "selling" attempts to just any Joe Schmoe that responds to your online ad, you are persistent in your "$200 firm" and you'd rather just get the cash and hand them off to a complete stranger - makes perfect sense to me too! Soooooooo, you force the rescue to get sneaky- they send a friend (who is really a rescue volunteer) to contact you to play as an interested buyer.... your 4th interested buyer. Behind the scenes, on the opposite end of the coast, you are totally unaware that a couple of rescue mommies are trying to get some cash together to Western Union the money over to your 4th potential buyer. Little do you know, this "seller" is actually going to be the only person to actually complete the transaction and get these precious bullie the love and care that they have been denied their whole lives. To be continued....
Our latest update and newest intake!
Posted June 14, 2010 8:57 pm
This dog is sitting at a vet clinic with a broken femur. Late last week he was ran over by his owners and they surrendered him to the vet because they didn't want him anymore. He is a very young bulldog and was already heartworm positive! The owners opted NOT to treat for heartworms but eventually their vet shamed them into it. The vet had been trying to get custody of the dog because he had knowledge of the owners not taking proper care of him. He was living outside and not being fed consistently. Now, unfortunately, was the vets chance to take the dog. The owners signed him over to the vet and then the vet called AABR. This poor bullie boy was supposed to have surgery last night, until the surgeon that does surgeries for this particular vet clinic realized he didn't have the proper hardware (screws) to do it. Today, we will pick him up and transfer him to our orthopedic specicialist who will perform the operation first thing tomorrow morning. Please help us by donating to save this guy, the surgery will cost approx $1800.
6-22-10 Update: Stewie's surgery was successful and he is recovering in AABR foster care! We have discovered he is still heartworm positive (he never did complete treatment) and has the absolute worst case of tapeworms we have ever seen. Stewie is being treated for all his ailments and although he has quite a few weeks of rest & rehab ahead of him, this squishy faced pup will be all better in no time!
Blooms for Bullies!

Gus Gus the puppy is fighting for his life.
Posted May 6, 2010 9:35 pm
On Tuesday afternoon, May 4, 2010 at approx. 5pm a nice young man by the name of Nestor was given a 17 week old English Bulldog puppy known as" Gus Gus". At this time it is still unknown where this pup originated from but we do know that he was handed off by a neighbor to a friend to another friend then to Nestor's wife before he was turned over to Adopt-A-Bull Rescue. When Nestor obtained custody of the puppy on Tuesday afternoon, he knew there was something extremely wrong with him. Barely breathing, extending his neck so far out gasping for air with loud gurgling lung sounds, Nestor immediately rushed Gus Gus to his 24 hour emergency vet. After about $900 worth of emergency treatment and care, IV's, medications, etc., Nestor wanted so badly to save this little pup, but realized it was not within his means to do so. The hospital informed Nestor that Gus Gus has a very severe bacterial pneumonia and a partially collapsed right lung. He would need to stay overnight for at least another 3 -4 days under 24 hour care in attempts to stabilize his current condition and the cost would be $2000 on top of what he had spent, with a "guarded" prognosis.
Wednesday morning, after finding us on the internet, Nestor contacted us via email with a plea for help. By 2:00pm we were on our way to the hospital where Gus Gus was being treated at. Nestor signed the dog over to us, the vet carried Gus out to us in the waiting area, IV catheter still in his arm, handed him over to us and right in the back of the bullie van Gus Gus was placed. We quickly rushed Gus straight to our vet. The sounds coming from this poor pup made me very nervous. I was praying he'd make the 30 minute car ride without further complications or distress, as it was already, this boy was struggling just to breathe.
As we compose this update, it's Thursday evening at 9:15 pm. Gus Gus is hanging in there. He's confined to an oxygen chamber and is getting the best possible treatment at our vet. We keep in touch with Nestor on little Gus's status and are hopeful this frail fragile pup will pull thru this horrific ordeal. By the time this is all over, we anticipate that costs for this little guy's treatment and recovery will most likely rank in our top 10 most expensive rescues.
Update from Auntie Cyndi, the best vet tech ever! 10:00 pm 5-6-10: "Baby Gus did great today! He loves chewing on my hands while getting his treatments. I don't think he'll need to be on oxygen too much longer. He has a great appetite and just wants to play. I got him a hard rubber bone to chew on so he leaves his IV alone. He's loving the bone. It will save my knuckles too. LOL. I will be going back at 11pm to give him another treatment, but his lungs sound dryer and he is acting like a silly puppy. He asked me to THANK YOU Mommy Erica for give him a chance to live." Thank you to all our donors!!!!
- Moe gets neuter surgery tomorrow and an ultrasound yesterday revealed the cause for his constant urination of blood: a cyst on his prostate.
- Belle is on heavy antibiotics and under a watchful eye due to post spay infection. Her x-rays revealed she has deformed/no hip sockets and she has trouble just staying on her feet. After spay she kept falling to the ground, irritating the area. It doesn't help she's a tad overweight. Belle will undergo surgery to be opened back up tomorrow
- Avva our pitbull is recovering at the vet from her spay and medically required tail amputation. As of tomorrow she's offically ready for adoption!
- Allie is home recovering from her 4 in 1 (elongated soft palate, nare, saccuoles, spay) surgery and is doing well.
- AABR rescued Fiona back on 7-13-09 from the pound. She was adopted last year, but her adoptive mommie recently fell on tough times and will soon be moving out of state unable to take Fiona with her. Fiona is back up for adoption.
- Wilbur, Pebbles, Harley, Tater, Natasha, Frodo, Nora, Mikki, Clifford, Sassy, Maggie, Lana, Teata, Pig Pen, and Tubby are all doing well in foster care and are patiently awaiting their furever homes.
- Reba will go to her foster to adopt home this Sunday.

- Ford is in a foster home recovering from his 3 in 1 (elongated soft palate, nare, saccuoles) surgery, and is doing well with his new frenchie sister!
- Big Daddy Bluto is getting much better with training, he is learning to trust and we are able to wipe his butt now without incident! Giving him a full bath, well..... that's a different story!
- Peaches, our old senior girl who came into rescue on Mother's Day... her physical condition is a lot worse than we first thought.
To all who have donated, specifically, within the past 7 days, we absolutely positively can not thank you enough! Your donation will be put 100% directly to the bullies, as every single penny that comes into our organization is. Although we are only 11 days into the month of May, so far this month, our bulldog medical bills have exceeded $3500!!! This not only includes our highly discounted services at Heron Lakes Animal Hospital (thank you Dr. Sands!), but also includes those from the specialists.
5-12-10 @ 5pm: Wow! What a day! Tewday we woke up bright and early to go potty. From my crate right outside to the grass, I did #1 and #2 - mommie was sooooo happy she kept praising me and telling me I was such a good boy. As you can see in the collage above, I took a nice ride in the bullie van dis mornin cuz mommie Erica has tew take me tew work wif her. Mommie sayz dat she has tew keep a close eye on me cuz she wants to make sure I still breathing and not getting weally sick wike when I first came to AABR. On da way tew da office Mommie felt the back of her seat movin back and forth and wut she doesn't no is dat dat was just me humpin it! (Wut?!?!? I'm a boy puppie, datz wut we do!) When we got tew da office I took a look around and den jumped over the little puppy fence she put up 4 different times! Mommie doesn't want my big paws getting run ober by her wheelie office chair so she tried to keep me away wif da gate. All I wanted tew do was go under her desk and eat her papers... doesn't she no dis? Finally she let me eat da papers and when I was done I fell asleep on da floor :) It'z been a weally busy day and a skinny bullie pup can definitely work up an appetite so mommie gave me a nice meal in my special "slow bowl". I scarf my food down so fast mommie is afraid so I get dis special food bowl to prevent bloat and choking from me eafin so fast. As yew can see, I've had quite an eventful day tewday. Mommie Erica and Mommie Neely not only have me to worry about, but also about the 30 other bullies in da program. Wif managing us all, and dealing with foster homes, vet visits, and post surgical recoveries, dey say all the bullies are going to bed early tonight and dey going out for a few cocktails! Bye Bye for now - Lub baby Gus!
P.S. Last night, a special angel named Auntie Nancy made an extremely generous donation towards my vet bills in honor of her own bulldog named Angus and I am forever grateful faw her financial help in saving my life! Love yew Auntie Nancy!
5-21-10 Update: Well, well well, somebullie is doing 100% better..... it's Baby Gus - the crazy bullie puppy! Gus is quite the little monster boy now that he's feeling better. It's absolutely amazing how much better he is doing in such a short time and boy, is he making up for lost time! This puppy thinks that just because he's better he can have bull pup zoomies 10x a day and instigate and play with all the big bullies that tower over him and drive everyone nuts. Baby Gus will keep you on your toes....and speaking of toes, watch your FEET! Baby G loves to bite and chase your feet! He doesn't quite understand "NO!" yet, but thinks this means... keep going, faster, harder, more, more, more! Oh, and his favorite thing to do is hump your living room furniture while biting it at the same time.
Now that Gus is out of the danger zone and we know he's gonna be a survivor, we are currently accepting applications for his forever placement. The only restrictions on his adoption is that you must be local and have English Bulldog experience. Please refer to our adoption application for how we conduct all our adoptions. (Thanks again to all our donors!)

I'd rather take a couple and do it right, maintaining our high standards and organized system than take a few and do it all wrong, jeopardizing the flow & fabulous system we have worked so hard to establish. We know our limits and what we can comfortably handle. I wish we could save them all, but we do the absolute best we can. I love my rescue and all that are involved! - Mommie Erica
The Pugish Family at the pound!
Posted April 13, 2010 7:36 pm
If you follow us on face book, or are just a fan of our site here, I do not need to tell you how hard the volunteers of Adopt-A-Bull Rescue work each and every day to save dogs from death. You see it online, you read about it in our monthly newsletters, you may even be able to experience some of it firsthand if you're a local member of our meet-up group or help with our various rescue events in the community. Yes, we are primarily an English Bulldog Rescue organization, but occasionally have an "off breed" or mix, or two or three. Besides the 33+ English Bulldogs we currently have, we are also caring for 2 pit mixes, a Sharpei and as of today, 3 pug mix puppies.
Every day a list of "Dogs in Danger" is emailed to us by the local pound. Today, I was surprised to see not 1, but 3 different litters of puppies on that list. Yes…puppies….. dogs 8 weeks and younger!!! I personally own 2 EB's and a pug myself so the litter of pug mix pups caught my attention. Taking off of work early, I decide to drive down to the shelter just to look…. so I told myself. A litter of 5 pups were owner surrender, just dumped at the pound, young pups without mom or dad. The pups go to the clinic for their shots as walk around. Past the kennel runs, between the cages, down each corridor……there are so many dogs... so so so many. The shelter I was at euthanizes 100+ dogs DAILY. There are cats too..... sooooo many kittens, just litters upon litter of them….tiny tiny kittens. I can't stop looking; I get sadder with each step I take. I can't help but cry, as the tears begin to steadily flow….so many of them... OMG! Spay & neuter people!!! I can't save them all or even help them all. I promised myself no more mix puppies. Why am I here? I can't say no, I'm a sucker. I don't want them to die. I know I won't be able to sleep again tonight or even the rest of this week. Why... Why.... Why? All I can think of is awareness, education, laws, my mind races… I can't even think clearly. Just like a kindergarten field trip, I want to take people back to this shelter with me to see this; people need to take visits to their local county kill shelters, aka "The Pound." When you see what I see, witness what I have, you will only feel compelled to take action. Adopt-A-Bull Rescue was founded on some very strong convictions. We are in the process of re-doing our website and the new site will contain a page about my personal rescue story, the story of my own very first dog – my English Bulldog, Brutis, and why I decided to give up my life, devoting every second of my day to the dogs that are in danger. Ok, now I'm rambling and crying at the same time. I apologize.
Bottom line, we really should not have taken any of the mix pugs, but about an hour or so after I arrived at the shelter, I found myself sitting down at the rescue desk signing spay/neuter/medical contracts, handing over payment for 3 of the puppies that sat in the cardboard box next to me caked in diarrhea and who would surely display signs of kennel cough in just a matter of time. Three lives saved today!!! Yippee!!! That was the easy part, now they need to be fed around the clock, quarantined away from any other animals for at least the next 2 weeks (they can't even share the same air as others), vetted, fully examined, and have to go to work with me every day so they can be kept under a watchful eye. The pups are listed as 8 weeks old, but look barely 6 weeks. The little female fawn runt weighs 1.1 pounds with the other two are closer to 2 pounds. We have contacted pug rescue and are hopeful they will take the 2 that remain even thou they are mixes. Updated to come, stay tuned.

Mission To impact our world by making Christ known. What We Believe The Scriptures The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. God There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator, Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe.God is all powerful and all knowing, and His perfect knowledge extends to all things, past, present, and future, including the future decisions of His free creatures. Man is the special creation of God, made in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation.In the beginning man was innocent of sin and was endowed by his Creator with freedom of choice. By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord. God's Purpose of Grace Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners. It is consistent with the free agency of man, and comprehends all the means in connection with the end.It excludes boasting and promotes humility. The Church A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel, observing the two ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. Baptism and the Lord's Supper Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believers faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, the believers death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. The Lord's Day The first day of the week is the Lord's Day. It is a Christian institution for regular observance. It commemorates the resurrection of Christ from the dead and should include exercises of worship and spiritual devotion, both public and private. Activities on the Lord's Day should be commensurate with the Christian's conscience under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The Kingdom The Kingdom of God includes both His general sovereignty over the universe and His particular kingship over men who willfully acknowledge Him as King. Particularly the Kingdom is the realm of salvation into which men enter by trustful, childlike commitment to Jesus Christ. Last Things God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to its appropriate end. According to His promise, Jesus Christ will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth, the dead will be raised, and Christ will judge all men in righteousness. The unrighteous will be consigned to Hell, the place of everlasting punishment. The righteous in their resurrected and glorified bodies will receive their reward and will dwell forever in Heaven with the Lord. Evangelism and Missions It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and of every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations. The new birth of man's spirit by God's Holy Spirit means the birth of love for others. Missionary effort on the part of all rests thus upon a spiritual necessity of the regenerate life, and is expressly and repeatedly commanded in the tea

Magical Mykonos
Hi Y'all-
So for my somewhat final leg of my first summer traveling escapade, I met a really good friend and spent a couple of days in Mykonos, Greece. Not much to say besides that it was amazing. The people were friendly and beautiful and the food was incredible. Not to sound like Capt. Diva but the beaches were not as amazing as I expected, but the party scene certainly was. Felt a little too old for all the parties as I was ...

We made our way to the Metro station along streets that were surprisingly bustling for six in the morning on a Sunday. Despite the ...

Day of wonders
After waking to a hearty buffet breakfast, the decision was made to get on the quads and travel to the other side of the island to the village Aperianthis to check out the archaeological museum there, which has artefacts dating back to 7Bc. The riding again was altogether exhilarating, inspiring and scary. 82km/hr on a quad bike feels like you are about to launch into the time continuum.

Determinants of Estonian Sovereign Credit Rating
AbstractThe paper focuses on sovereign credit ratings assigned to Estonia and analyses their possible determinants. The first chapter gives an overview of different rating agencies and the methodology they use in rating process. Besides that the interpretation, comparability and explanatory power of different ratings are analysed. The chapter concludes with the description of Estonian rating history. The second chapter analyses the possible determinants of Estonian rating. Firstly, the possible problems in analysing the determinants are discussed. Secondly, the factors that have been seen as important determinants of ratings in theoretical literature or previous empirical researches are presented. The third chapter analyses empirically the determinants of Estonian credit rating. For this purpose, Estonia is analysed in the context of three country groups: former socialist countries, developed European countries and countries having similar ratings. Also the factors that different rating agencies have pointed out in their reports about Estonia are compared with the empirical results. The chapter concludes with the comparison of the results of the analysis and SWOT analysis. The results of the paper show that the most critical factors for Estonia that can constrain possible rating upgrade in the future are low nominal level of per capita GDP, high unemployment rate and high CA deficit. At the same time it should be looked after that other important indicators that have a strong relation with rating (such as inflation, fiscal balance, foreign debt level and speed of transition and EU accession) are kept under control.

Zero just leave it as is.
I never understood why there was one "Must have" console to use in the game. No other console gives as much as the field generator. IF shield strength is so low at Vice Admiral why not just modify the shields themselves to give a 35% increase in capacity?
A player goes through the entire game without the console until Vice Admiral why is it even really needed? I realize that manipulating all the shields can be a pain, versus 1 item, but the console effectively removes 1 slot for every VA ship.
If we have to have this overpowered shield booster, why not simply make it a special slot in the VA ship? I know the Cryptic team has the talent. In the future if the team decided to make more unique "must have" items then the ground work would be done.
For example:
Add a slot called "Warp Core" then rename the Current Field Generator to "Shield Modulation Warp Core System Mk XI"
Then say a few months down the line another bunch of set items come out, the team could use that basis for more interesting items with pros and cons.
M.A.C.O. Warp Reactor Mk XI anyone?
Anyway prudent to slap a band aid until the math is fixed, but there is an opportunity to grow the ship systems in a "more trek way".
Oh and before I forget, I just wanted to say
thank you
for all the hard work that you, Gozer, Heretic, and the rest have done on the two year anniversary. It is highly appreciated by me, and many others I'm sure.

THURSDAY, June 28 (HealthDay News) -- Muscle mass is associated with bone parameters at several sites in the body, according to a study published online May 23 in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
To examine the association between appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) relative to height squared (relative ASM) and bone parameters, Nathan K. LeBrasseur, P.T., Ph.D., from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and colleagues used conventional and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography in a cohort of 272 women and 317 men (aged 20 to 97 years).
The researchers found that, in women, relative ASM correlated significantly with cortical thickness (CtTh) at the femoral neck, lumbar spine, radius, and tibia, even when adjusting for age and physical activity. Trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) at the femoral neck and spine and trabecular bone volume to tissue volume, number (TbN), thickness, and separation (TbSp) at the radius were also associated significantly with relative ASM. In men, when adjusting for age and physical activity, relative ASM was significantly associated with CtTh at all sites. After adjustment for age, the associations between relative ASM and trabecular vBMD at the spine were not significant, although relative ASM was significantly associated with trabecular vBMD at the femoral neck and TbN and TbSp at the radius. In both sexes, the most robust predictors of relative ASM were serum insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 levels.
"Collectively, these data add to the growing body of evidence supporting the highly-integrated nature of skeletal muscle and bone, and provide new insights into potential biomarkers that reflect the health of the musculoskeletal system," the authors write.

Is there a solution to nagging? Just stop doing it, says Taffy Brodesser-Akner (that's quite a moniker, by the way).
For most people, easier said than not-done.
But of course, I wouldn't know. I never, never ever nag; I merely offer the occasional exceedingly helpful suggestion, the timely reminder, or the insightful non-directive open-ended question.
But enough about me (please!). The larger question I'm interested in is this: what is nagging? And why is it something men tend to accuse women of, but seldom vice versa? Is it just a question of labeling, or do women actually do more of it? Or is it that men are just more bothered by it, because they perceive it as being given orders rather than receiving requests?
Nagging tends to occur when the members of a couple have different standards about what's desirable, often in terms of neatness or other tasks. Chore reminders are a classic source of marital nagging, and they can be highly annoying, leading the man to feel he's married to either his mother or a schoolmarm or some combination of the two. A real turnoff.
But what's a wife to do when her husband has agreed to do a certain chore and keeps neglecting, avoiding, or forgetting it, over and over and over? She can ignore the fact that he's ignored it, but that can lead to a lot of pent-up anger and frustration on her part. She can vent that anger and yell at him and insult him—but good luck with that, because it can only escalate the problem and even ultimately destroy the relationship. Or she can nag very politely, making "I" statements and being careful not to order him around, which can sometimes still trigger his annoyance at the fact that she's peck, peck, pecking away at him.
Some of these problems start when the woman makes a request and the guy says he'll do it. Maybe at the time he says that he really does intend to do it, but it's just not as important to him as it is to her, and later it slips his mind. Or maybe he never intended to comply in the first place, and was hoping she'd forget. Or is he showing her he can't be pushed around? Or is it some combination of those things, plus embarrassment when his failure to do the task is pointed out to him, resulting in anger and counter-accusation (you're a nag!)?
And by the way, these vicious cycles are usually a lot easier to avoid when you don't live with someone. It's also a great deal easier when there are no kids around to stress both parties out. So women who never nagged before can suddenly start doing it after living together a while, or after having children.
So, do men ever nag? And if and when they do, what's it called?
[NOTE: Without really thinking too hard about it, I'd always assumed that the dual meanings of the word "nag"---to annoy by constant urging and chiding, and an old worn-out horse---were related in their origins. Surprisingly, however, they're not.]

I recently switched to Phytocedrat Sebo-Regulating Shampoo and for awhile now, I haven't had to resort to using dry shampoo to keep my hair looking less greasy. I have seen this product around for some time already but haven't been inspired to test it out because I never had good experience with shampoos containing botanical ingredients. Well, shampoos that do not foam usually doesn't work for my extremely greasy scalp because mine is the sort that produce sebum almost IMMEDIATELY after washing. So you can imagine my trauma all these years; not to mention the amount of dry shampoo which I have been inhaling!

DIY Beauty: Rhassoul clay for oily thin hair
I received a sample packet of Moroccan Rhassoul clay from Yours Essentially sometime back and didn't quite know what to do with it. I didn't want to use it as a mask on my face and so I ran a search on the Web and found that Rhassoul clay can also be used as a shampoo to remove dandruff or excess sebum from the scalp. Hair washed with the clay is said to become soft and shiny with more volume. Plus some users were even commenting that the clay can help reduce the need for frequent hair washing. And that all sounded great to me because I have a peculiar hair condition characterized by fine, thin and oily hair which I have to wash daily.
Klorane dry shampoo for a good hair day
The Great Singapore Sale has started and the first things I grabbed are personal care products at Guardian. One is the Klorane Oat Extract Gentle Dry Shampoo With Non-Aerosol Spray, which I have been using on a daily basis for over five years now. I have a very oily scalp and this dry shampoo keeps my hair looking polished by banishing the grease that clings on to my hair. In fact, I will never leave home without first using this product.

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Roy Halladay addressed last week's dismissal of long-time manager Charlie Manuel on Tuesday, indicating approval of the change because there were some problems that were "overlooked," reports Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly.
"Obviously, I loved [Charlie]. He was great. But from what I've seen, Ryne [Sandberg] came in and made some changes and addressed some issues that I think were being overlooked.
So from that standpoint, as much as I miss Charlie, I think that Ryne's going to do a good job and I think he's going to bring back a little more of the Phillie baseball style than we've had the last couple of years.
Halladay added that he doesn't want to "take anything away from Charlie," and that the entire team "respected him tremendously," but that he didn't feel the Phillies had "that whole team effort and the whole team hustle" the last couple seasons like they did in seasons prior. He also elaborated on the issues he thought were overlooked, indicating that enforcement of little things like punctuality and taking extra BP or grounders had become lax.
Manuel, who served as the Phillies manager from 2005 to last Friday, has also had his own say on his dismissal. Among other things, he told CSN Philly that he didn't feel he was handed a team that could win the last two years. Manuel said that he knew at the "start of the season, both years" that the Phillies weren't good enough to contend, but figured that GM Ruben Amaro would add pieces as the season went along like he had in the past:
"I always figured we'd add the pieces and things like that...
"I knew if we started the season with this team that somewhere along the lines we were going to improve it ... there were a lot of those years that we did all that."
The Phillies are currently 55-70 on the year -- well out of the playoff hunt -- and are 2-3 since Sandberg took over as manager last Friday.
