A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
The City of Toledo has received a $1,578,723 workers' compensation
rebate from the State of Ohio, and on Friday the Bell Administration submitted
to council a detailed plan to spend that windfall.
Besides earmarking half of that money to cover police and
fire overtime for this year, the plan calls for increasing the upcoming police
class from 50 to 65, and the upcoming fire class from 30 to 50.
Deputy Mayor Shirley Green says boosting public safety
personnel levels is a high priority, as many police officers and firefighters
are preparing for retirement.
"We started in a hole in terms of staffing for the safety
forces, and we've hired classes for the fire and police departments in all of
the last 3 years and we want to continue to do so," she said. "The opportunity
to increase both those class sizes is great."
The proposed spending breakdown is as follows: Increase
police class size - $278,823, police overtime - $200,000, increase fire class -
$132,310, fire overtime - $600,000, senior program supplies/services - $1,700,
athletic programs supplies/services - $3,000, ice rink supplies/services -
$14,000, pools supplies/services - $70,290, park maintenance supplies/services -
$88,400, cemeteries supplies/services - $112,000, downtown landscaping
supplies/services - $78,200.
Council will consider the request as early as Tuesday.

Like Han, Lucas shot first - rushing the under-sized Shinohara with strikes before clinching and securing a body lock takedown into side control. From there, Lucas was able to utilize her significant strength advantage and move into mount where she blasted strikes upon her hapless opponent. For several minutes Lucas sought the finish with her fists but Shinohara was good enough to just avoid being stopped. As the opening round approached it's conclusion Lucas switched tactics, first looking for the hammerlock from mount before settling for an armbar at 4.37 in the first round.
Despite the fact that armbar was clearly extended and locked, Shinohara protested the stoppage loudly - directing her frustration at Lucas and referee Samio Kimura before realizing that Shooto ace Kuniyoshi Hironaka threw in the towel on her behalf. That did little to calm Shinohara though as she spent several minutes yelling at her corner, apparently finding their lack of faith disturbing, before being escorted from the the ring.
At least one journalist was disappointed that Lucas did not win by choke. A force choke gag would have been perfect. Lucas did acknowledge her legacy though, teasing that she would enter to the Star Wars theme before switching tunes.
Although Lucas had few issues during the bout, she did have trouble with the weight - missing her first attempt at the unusual 71 kg (156.5 lbs) weight limit by half a pound. She was able to make the weight on her second attempt some thirty minutes later. Shinohara had absolutely no problems with the limit, coming in at 70.7 kg (156 lbs) - no mean feat considering she fought her last bout at 49 kg (105 lbs) in 2008 against former divisional queen Miku Matsumoto.
Lucas got off to a rough start to her career, losing her debut in 2008 by technical knockout, but has rebounded to put together a 2-1 record.

Crews are busy working on the Elmwood Golf Course renovation project. In just about a month the golf course will be complete with its first phase of renovation and be ready for golfers to hit the brand new course. However, recent weather has kept many golfers off the links already this year.
"The wind, when the temps are only in the 50's or whatever, it can make it not very playable so we're hoping the wind will die down anytime as far as we're concerned," President of Dakota Golf Management Tom Jansa said.
Jansa says he prepares for any type of weather in April but hopes for the best the rest of the season.
"May through September is the months we kind of count on a lot of good playable days, hopefully May will get off to a decent start," Jansa said.
But even though the wind, rain, and chilly temperatures, Jansa says it's been tough for crews to continue work on the first phase of the Elmwood Golf renovation project.
"Stretches of weather like this are tough to take sometimes, but that's the way it is when you're working in that area," Jansa said.
However, Jansa says the work is getting done and the first phase is on schedule to be complete by the first of June. When it's complete it will open up a brand new 9 holes for golfers.
"We'll live through three years of it being 9 holes down at a time, but in the end we'll have a great improved project," Jansa said.

I cannot even imagine what losing a child to drugs would be like. Lord knows I've thought about it a lot. For a while, I was terrified that it might happen to me. And I'd be lying if I said it's not something I still think about from time to time when I allow my mind to wander out of the moment.
None of my differences with Tom Szasz diminishes my regard for this great man. His insistence on rigorously examining our ideas and his admonitions about the unintended consequences of would-be good intentions are timeless and priceless. His polemical style was a means of stirring -- rather than lulling -- the minds of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals.
My family did the best they could, but like in many Caribbean and African-American families, the symptoms and afflictions of depression were never addressed. At best, you get prayed over or, in my case, you get offered the option of an exorcism.
Words have meaning and intent, and denial of this fact is ignorant. I believe that in the great cage match of life, enlightenment destroys ignorance, and enlightenment is my truth, my whole truth, and nothing but my truth, in whatever way I choose to illuminate the darkness of my own tightly-locked closet.
This was a study designed to generate a predictably useless, misleading, and potentially harmful answer to an egregiously silly and perhaps even willfully disingenuous question. If science were generally this bad, we would never have exited the Stone Age.
Everyone, cancer or not, deals with aftershocks. They can ripple through our lives causing anxiety, depression and a host of other issues until we confront them. After a huge catastrophe in your life it unfortunately doesn't end there; we have to deal with the debris around us.
I can go on forever about how exercise has physically challenged and changed me. But above all, spiritually, this has been a lesson of evolving, facing my fears and feeling deserving to (as my sister says) be proud of and own the body that houses my soul, that takes you to the next day, the next dimension.
My mother was a gentle soul. In her best disciplinary voice, a whisper at most, used one time during my teenage years, she said, "Bill, I wish you would not smoke -- it's bad for you."
I see 7-year-old kids who agonize over what to wear in the morning because they "hate the size of their thighs or their arms." And I work with children who refuse to eat carbs or fats. Who among us even knew what carbs or fats were when we were 6 years old?
If depression is more insidious -- and more misunderstood -- than other disorders, it is because its core symptoms are mental and emotional. This can make it difficult to distinguish the person from the disease, as our thoughts and emotions define who we are.
Our conversation about mental illness needs to be a positive, healthy dialogue, not one laden with shame. As soon as that begins to happen, we'll be able to address these health issues more effectively.
All women have a fundamental human right in the care of their children, and when we are talking about breastfeeding, let's steer the conversation away from breasts and ideas of decency. Let's talk about human rights and the prevention of their perversion and destruction.
Should we know whether or not our kids, or ourselves, are overweight? Of course, just as we should know -- before a mechanical calamity -- that the oil in our car needs changing, or our tire pressure is low.
If you need a little boost -- or if your dog seems to -- try engaging him in a long, loving gaze. If he's the shy type, give him your undivided, loving attention for a half hour. You'll both feel healthier and happier for it!
The patient-centered model needs to replace the practice-centered model. The patient's health should be a higher priority than the doctor's rush to keep moving and fit as many people as possible into his schedule and his practice goals.
It has gotten to a point where I've realized that I cannot play this game anymore. I need to be who I really am behind closed doors for people to understand and help me get better. It has taken me nine years to realize this, which is too long.
The truth is, I still struggle. But, I'm happy to say that there are more good days than bad ones now. As they often say in AA, it's about "progress, not perfection." I have made progress.
We can't help but be a little grateful that his fame is shining a spotlight on the very real but little discussed aspects of Parkinson's. Yet it brings into focus that the disease is more than just what we publicly acknowledge: tremors, rigidity, trouble walking and a host of other motor skills problems.
When we make these habits part of our daily practice, we can view ourselves and the world with more awareness and more gratitude.

Jennifer Lopez hosted the "Samsungs Hope for Children Benefit" with her husband Marc Anthony in New York last night.
The diva who's been wearing a lot of Emilio Pucci lately opted for a white Emilio Pucci Spring 2010 gown with cut-outs and gold harness details.
I loved the yellow version which makes Jennifer white (off-white) version seem so boring and drab in comparison.
I'm surprised she opted for the muted version. In her JLo/Puff Daddy days she would've worn the yellow I'm sure.
Which do you prefer? Runway or Real-way?

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il dead of heart attack, state media reports
North Korea's enigmatic leader Kim Jong Il -- who, after succeeding his father 17 years ago, captained his poor, closed nation and antagonized its enemies -- has died, state media reported Monday. The son of Kim Il Song, the founder of the communist nation, Kim Jong Il had been in power since 1994 when his father died of a heart attack at age 82. The enigmatic leader was a frequent thorn in the side of neighboring South Korea, as well as the United States. There have been reports in recent years about his health, as well as that power will be transitioned to his son, Kim Jong Un. North Korean and communist party officials "released a notice on Saturday informing" members of the Workers' Party of Korea, military "and all other people" of Kim's passing, according to KCNA. All South Korean military units have been placed on "emergency alert" following Kim's death, according to South Korean news agency Yonhap. South Korean officials have not noticed any unusual activity from North Korea, the agency reported early Monday afternoon. Kim's death also prompted South Korean President Lee Myung-bak to cancel all events on his schedule, Yonhap said. The White House, meanwhile, released a statement saying they are "closely monitoring reports" of Kim's death and are "in close touch with our allies in South Korea and Japan." From CNN The world has lost a great leader and humanitarian%%% Seriously though, Kim Jong-Il ran quite possibly the most brutal dictatorship in the modern era, including Iraq and Lybia. North Korea is quite literally starving to death while Kim's regime spends it's entire budget on nuclear armament. The isolation of the North is so great that South Korean intelligence estimates that less than 1% of the North's citizens know about the Arab Spring (a happening KJI would obviously have great motivation to hide) The North and South will be on very tenuous footing. Kim's son, Kim Jong-Un, is in line to succeed him but is just 27 years old. What happens now is anyone's guess.

The is looking for a new home as its lease at Pacheco Plaza shopping center creeps toward its June 30 expiration.
The will finish out its 2011-12 season with Noises Off and a search is on for a new space to start the 2012-13 season as planned in the fall.
management has worked with the company so it can complete all of its scheduled performances and is also renting them temporary storage and rehearsal space in the former Westamerica Bank building in the shopping center.
According to Sandi Rubay, the new president of the company's board of directors, the departure from the 87-seat theater will make way for new retail next door to the deli.
"We're still looking for performance space and we have some good prospects," said Rubay.
She said the ideal location would have roughly 4,500 square feet of space with 14-foot high ceilings and allow for public assembly. Property managers of the on Grant Avenue said they had negotations with the troupe but nothing materialized.
The company has a long history in Novato, beginning in 1919. It has proven time and time again that the show will go on, ever since its home at the was red-tagged by the fire marshal in 2004. NTC staged shows in several locations before landing at Pacheco Plaza, and the group staved off eviction in 2009 by signing an extension.
Rubay points to the growth and success of the company over the past three years and by the Bay Area Critics Awards.
"We're positive that we will have our season and that we will eventually land in a space," said Rubay-Turner. "In the meantime, we're pretty good at dancing."
Pacifics Baseball Caravan Stops on Grant
is hosting the baseball team "Caravan" on Friday, May 18, at the Novato branch at 1450 Grant Ave. from noon–1 p.m.

The Pacifics' team mascot, Sir Francis the Drake, will be available for photos, and drawings will be held for free tickets and team merchandise. Baseball-themed refreshments will also be served.
"As the first corporate sponsor for the Pacifics, we are proud to support the team in their inaugural season and are looking forward to a great season of local baseball," said Russell A. Colombo, President and CEO of Bank of Marin.
The Pacifics will play 42 home games at Albert Park, a 750-seat facility in downtown San Rafael, between June 4 and Aug. 26.

The bank is to use the upper floor as an adminstrative center and have a small walk-in bank for customers on the first floor, on the south side of the building facing Redwood. The rest of the first floor is to be occupied by retail merchants and possibly a restaurant. Some of the "skin" should be in evidence over the next couple of weeks, he said.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- Three children were struck by an SUV in New Haven after witnesses say they ran onto a busy street toward their father's car.
Police say a 5-year-old girl, her 12-year-old sister and their brother were struck Monday afternoon on Ella Grasso Boulevard. Officials say the girls were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, while their brother was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Authorities say the SUV driver tried to avoid hitting the children. Police are investigating whether charges are warranted.
Witnesses say the children's father was in a car parked on the street when the 5-year-old girl apparently became excited to see him and ran toward him. They say the older girl ran after her sister.
Police haven't released the names of the children and driver.
The cleanup has begun in some parts of Long Island while others continue to deal with flooding from heavy rain fall that began late Tuesday and intensified on Wednesday. Cars remain stranded after rain pounded the area. More than 13 inches of rain fell in Islip. The National Weather Service said the rain was the largest event on record for New York State in a 24-hour period.

When the Senate goes on recess at the end of this week, President Obama should appoint Elizabeth Warren to direct the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). By making a recess appointment, the president can name the best qualified leader to head the new agency, while demonstrating he's willing to stand up to Republican obstruction and Wall Street pressure. He'll earn plaudits not only from the base of the Democratic Party that adores Warren but also from independent voters, who will be thankful for an advocate for consumers willing to stand up to the Wall Street lobby.
Given the mandate of the CFPB — to police "unfair, deceptive or abusive practices" of the financial world — anyone with a whit of sense knows that Elizabeth Warren is the best person to head the new agency.

- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 1/2 cups of flour

- Stir in melted butter, egg, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Stir well.
- Add flour and stir well. Pour into baking pan.

Howdy, Miracles, Seahawk fan here that thinks you may appreciate some more Justin Hunter information. It seems most of you guys are fairly excited and optimistic about him, mostly satisfied with the trade up. As a Volunteer plenty of you probably were already familiar with him as well. This is just a strangely-angled scouting report I published on the Seahawk SBNation site, Field Gulls, back in February.
In Search of Accuracy In Scouting
The tl;dr is that I think the broad consensus on Justin Hunter's negatives -- inconsistency, lapses of focus, drops too many balls -- is mostly inaccurate, mostly on account of the scattershot accuracy of Tyler Bray. To investigate I tracked every Bray incomplete pass to Hunter or Patterson in three games from 2012. I only had the strength to chart two of the three games, though.
I still think Tavon Austin was the best prospect of the class, but I felt that Hunter was next, had AJ Green upside, and wasn't nearly as much of a risk as most draftniks labeled him as. I thought he had mid-1st round talent, not just in this draft but in many, and he became my favorite prospect in the draft because I thought he was so underrated.
Since then, he'd risen on draft boards to be talked about as early as the 20s, and seemed to at least be an earlish 2nd rounder, which is what came to pass. And I still think he's tremendous value, there, even with the trade up. Don't expect rapid development, or think he'll contend for OROY. He's still apparently going to be paired with an accuracy-challenged QB, though the ascent in accuracy and effectiveness from Tyler Bray to Jake Locker figures to be huge.
I'm still super excited to see how he develops, and I'll be rooting for him from this side of the nation. The Titans have been my AFC team since that 1999 playoff run. (Well actually the Seahawks were in the AFC for two more years, so the Saints were my NFC team, but when Seattle switched conferences at realignment, I had to pick a new "other conference team" to root for, and it's been y'all ever since.)
Best of luck, to Lock, to Hunter, to you-all, and see you on October 13th. Hope you enjoy the article.

I made this card to fit two challenges, the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge 87 and the Sweet Stop Sketch 60. The papers are from BoBunny, so perfect for this quote from Paper Makeup Stamps.
I just added a flower border punch, a prima with a Viva Decor pearl center and that fun little butterfly to accentuate it.

ffmpeg not working with SS
19 December 2009 at 6:50am
I've run into a wall with this. I recently migrated a SS site that was in development to a production server. Said site has video uploading capabilities, so it required ffmpeg. I neglected to check for this before the migration, so I yum'ed it down after the migration and installed it.
Video still won't work, and it's throwing this error code: FFMPEG does not appear to be installed on your server. Code: 126
I'm hoping someone can help me shed light on this. I even set the absolute path to ffmpeg, by means of: FLV::set_ffmpeg_root("/usr/bin/ffmpeg");

Got it fixed. Don't mind this useless post. ;)
For anyone wondering what the fix was, it was missing the ffmpeg-devel package. Somehow didn't get installed.

"There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a gentleness of spirit and a pure serenity of mind." - Washington IrvingIrving's observation was Ken Griffin's inspiration for founding Fly Fishing for Vets. "Anyone who's ever felt the rush of seeing a trout rise to a fly can tell you, there's nothing else like it. It gives a sense of peace and a connection with nature, which can bring about physical, emotional and spiritual healing in a number of ways," Griffin said. "Fly Fishing for Vets provides wounded warriors and their families with a bit of relief from the stress of recovering from an injury or being permanently disabled. We believe in the healing effects that a peaceful setting among friends and family provides. And what better way to provide that than with a rod and reel?" The foundation offers fly tying and casting lessons for vets new to the sport, and then on Veterans Day everybody goes fishing. Families are welcome to fish along if they wish, but spouses may opt for a free day at a spa while children take part in free supervised activities like hiking or horseback riding. For their inaugural fishing event in 2008, more than 200 veterans and volunteers showed up, including the Georgia National Guard, which set up tents and heaters, and Dunkin' Donuts and Dave's Famous Barbecue, which provided food. Gordon Walker of Lawrenceville is an active volunteer in the program. As a guide for River Through Atlanta, Walker is skillful both in fly fishing and reeling in participants. "We give the wounded veterans a vest and a fly rod to keep. Most of these are donated by Trout Unlimited and Atlanta Fly Fishing Club," Walker said. The main event for Fly Fishing for Vets occurs on Veterans Day, but Walker, whose daughter is a Marine, takes veterans who are able out in small groups all year round. He is also involved with Project Healing Waters (www.projecthealingwaters.org), and teaches fly tying classes at the Veterans Hospital. "It's very therapeutic, even if they can't get out to fish," Walker said. "We have one woman who has use of only one arm and she shows up regularly." Greg Morgan, manager of Orvis Sporting Traditions at the Forum in Norcross, is also on board with this patriotic project. "We help educate the public about the program and help recruit volunteers. And if anyone wants to make monetary donations, we'll gladly accept them. We've had some very generous donors, who we're very thankful for," Morgan said. The second annual family fishing event will be on Nov. 1. The Chattahoochee will be stocked with 5,000 trout and sponsors will donate food and fishing related freebies to help provide veterans and volunteers some gentleness of spirit and serenity of mind. To get involved, visit www.flyfishingforvets.com, e-mail Walker at email@example.com or call Orvis at 770-798-9983. Susan Larson is a Lilburn resident. E-mail her at email@example.com.

News: Kobe & Vanessa Bryant Announce Breaking News On Instagram & Facebook
Friday, Jan 11, 2013 11:54PM
NBA champion Kobe Bryant and wife Vanessa Bryant have decided to call off plans to legally separate and announced their divorce proceedings are now kaput through multiple forms of social media.
Vanessa broke the news to her fans by using popular photo-sharing application Instagram.
Vanessa Bryant announced the couple's decision via the social network Instagram, stating that she and the Los Angeles Lakers' star are back together. "We are pleased to announce that we have reconciled," Vanessa Bryant's Instagram post said. "Our divorce action will be dismissed. We are looking forward to our future together. Kobe & Vanessa." (ESPN)
Kobe confirmed the announcement through his Facebook page.
"I am happy to say that Vanessa and I are moving on with our lives together as a family. When the show ends and the music stops, the journey is made beautiful by having that someone to share it with. Thank you all for your support and prayers! Much luv, Mamba out." (Kobe Bryant's Facebook)
Coincidentally, Vanessa also used Instagram earlier this month to address rapper Drake speaking on her relationship to Kobe during their temporary 2012 split in a song.
"I love when immature kids quote a rapper that has never been friends with Kobe and knows nothing about our relationship. Just shows how gullible they are. I don't need to be in the gym. I'm raising our daughters, signing checks and taking care of everything else that pertains to our home life. [...] I really wish people would stop THINK and then realize that they are being sucked into someone's clear intention to monetize and gain attention off of our family's heartache. This is real life. I hold down our home life so my husband can focus on his career. It's a partnership. Since my husband isn't friends with Drake, we received a text of an apology forwarded from his manager. It's done and over with and it's now time for people to THINK before speaking." (Necole Bitchie)
Initial reports of Vanessa not going through with a divorce bubbled online last summer.
Vanessa Bryant will NOT sign documents to make her divorce final ... at least for now ... because TMZ has learned, she and Kobe are working on a full reconciliation. We've learned Kobe and Vanessa are trying to work out the issues that caused her to file for divorce back in December. They spend a lot of time together but he has not officially moved back in with her. Under California law, Vanessa has to wait 6 months before she can file final docs making the divorce official. The 6-month mark hits this weekend, so Vanessa could end the marriage as early as Monday ... but we know she won't. Now here's the deal. We're told Kobe and Vanessa have had their ups and downs since she filed for divorce ... and there's nothing stopping her from filing final divorce papers at some point in the future if things don't work out. One more thing. If Kobe and Vanessa end up living together ... it will be in one of her 3 mansions, because he signed over all the deeds to her while they were working out divorce details. (TMZ)

Responding to homelessness
The Queensland Police Service is committed to identifying strategies to assist interactions with socially vulnerable people. Under the Government's Responding to Homelessness Strategy 2005-09, six QPS Police Liaison Officer positions were funded in Cairns, Townsville and Mt Isa. An evaluation of the strategy found these positions helped homeless people access a range of support services and helped address the causes of their homelessness. This in turn helped reduce the arrest rates for homeless people and increased feelings of public safety.
The Service has also formed the QPS Homelessness Reference Group which is a mechanism for peak homelessness organisations and QPS members to work together to address police-related homelessness issues and improve police training, policies and practices where necessary. As well, the Service is a signatory to the Early Intervention in Public Spaces Protocol. The protocol operates in Brisbane Central and South Brisbane police districts and clarifies the role each organisation plays in protecting and managing public space.
The Homeless Persons Court Diversion (HPCD) Program pilot commenced in May 2006. In February 2009, the role of the HPCD was expanded and renamed the Special Circumstances Court Diversion Program (SCP).
Special Circumstances Court Diversion Program
The QPS collaborates with other government and nongovernment agencies to implement this program.
The Special Circumstances Court (SCP) operates in central Brisbane and hears matters encompassing people with a mental illness, intellectual disability or cognitive impairment, in addition to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. This important initiative helps divert offenders from further contact with the justice system and addresses the underlying causes of their offending behaviour which reduces repeat offending.
Since the inception of the HPCD and SCP, 1 330 offenders have participated in the program.

I found this article really depressing. It is hard for me to think that a 12-year-old would start doing drugs and drinking beer. Where does a 12-year-old even get that stuff? It is so sad that he saw some of his friends die from Ecstasy and drunk driving only to continue doing it himself. Taking drugs in the first place is a bad move, but then to see your friends die and continue to take drugs, that just doesn't make sense.
"Addicted" really points out how careless some schools can be. The kid must have been introduced to this stuff by kids at school, because I don't think a 12-year-old would be wandering the streets. Schools should be doing more to keep their campuses drug-free. Otherwise, more and more kids will get a hold of these substances and ruin their lives if they aren't careful.

Hackers are exploiting an Internet Explorer (IE) vulnerability that was left unpatched in Windows XP on Tuesday, Microsoft and outside security experts said.
The bug, identified as CVE-2014-1815, was one of two Microsoft patched with a critical update issued Tuesday for IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10 and IE11. In the accompanying security bulletin, Microsoft noted that the vulnerability had been both known to hackers and used by them prior to yesterday's update.
[ Windows 8 left you blue? Then check out Windows Red, InfoWorld's plan to fix Microsoft's contested OS. | Want a new PC? InfoWorld picks the 12 best Window 7 PC models available today. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
"Microsoft is aware of limited attacks that attempt to exploit this vulnerability in Internet Explorer," the bulletin stated.
But because Windows XP exhausted its support privileges last month, users running the aged operating system did not receive the IE security update, as did owners of Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 PCs.
Also on Tuesday, Microsoft reasserted that it has patched its last Windows XP bug. In the strongest signal yet that it will stick with its plan -- and that a May 1 emergency patch for IE on XP had been a one-time deal -- a company spokesman said, "The Windows XP end of support policy still remains in place moving forward."
Originally, Windows XP was bundled with IE6, but over the years users have upgraded to IE7 and then IE8, the five-year-old browser that is the newest from Microsoft able to run on XP. If XP was still supported, XP PCs would certainly have received the update.
"This is the first advisory that clearly would have applied to Windows XP," said Ross Barrett, senior manager of security engineering at Rapid7, in an email yesterday. "IE6, IE7 and IE8 are vulnerable on Windows [Server] 2003; this would historically have mapped to the same scope of XP patches, but not this time."
As Barrett noted, Microsoft's security bulletin listed Windows Server 2003 as affected by the vulnerability. The server software was patched Tuesday because its support lifespan runs until July 14, 2015.
CVE-2014-1815 is a classic "drive-by" vulnerability that can be triggered simply by duping IE users into visiting a malicious or compromised website. As soon as an unpatched Internet Explorer reaches such a site, the exploit leaps into action, immediately hijacking the PC and sticking malware on the hard drive.
Because IE6, IE7 and IE8 on Windows XP will not be patched, users will remain vulnerable to these sneaky attacks in perpetuity.
Most security professionals have urged people stuck on XP to switch to another browser, one that still receives updates: Google's Chrome, Mozilla's Firefox and Opera Software's Opera all fit that bill. According to research conducted by Computerworld, XP users can dramatically lower their risk by dumping IE.

How to Introduce your new baby to your feline friends
Congratulations on your new baby! This is an exciting time for everyone, except for maybe your other baby in the household- your loving cat. Many people are very hesitant and scared for the introduction of cat and baby. Cats and babies can and do co-exist, as long as you know a few things about your cat. Cats are creatures of habit, and they are used to your daily routines with them. When a baby arrives, all your cat knows is that there is something new in the house messing up his normal, routine life. A new baby is something that causes all kinds of unpredictable sounds, movements and furniture. It smells weird and different, and it is hogging all of your attention. There are some things that you can do to help your cat deal and adapt to having a baby join the family.
Baby not home yet
If your baby has not yet arrived, this is a perfect time to start planning and preparing for their introduction. Since cats are creatures of habit, you want to try and make as few changes as possible, or at least try and make them as slow and gradual as you can. Sudden changes will cause stress to your feline friend. Changes in feeding, exercise routines, playtimes, amount of attention, new structures and odors, and new restrictions on what they can or can't do will all cause some amount of stress. If you recently found out that you are pregnant, then you have plenty of time to gradually make changes before the baby arrives. Here is a list of some things you can start doing to get your cat used the sounds, smells and new structures that will change his world.
· Invite friends over with their babies to give your cat exposure to the smells and sounds they make
· Start wearing baby lotion and some baby powder when you are holding and playing with your cat so it will associate these scents with you- which is a positive thing
· Play a recording of a baby cooing, crying and screaming at different times of the day. Start with the volume lower and gradually raise the volume to get your cat familiar with the sounds
· Make sure your cat has a safe place to go, either a room, or a high post that makes him feel secure when he is unsure about all the changes taking place
· Make positive associations by giving treats or playing games when new furniture arrives or when visitors come over with their babies. You can also spray "Feliway" on the furniture to make it more pleasant and acceptable (Feliway is a natural pheromone product)
· If you will be spending less time with your cat once the baby is born, you should start to make those time changes now so your cat gets used to seeing/playing with you less
Crib tricks
The nursery can be open to your cat or off limits. This decision is up to you. If you want to keep it off limits, behavior consultants recommend keeping the room closed off to your cat as soon as you can. If you are allowing your cat into the nursery, you will want to keep him/her from napping in the crib. To discourage crib cat napping, you can fill the bottom of the crib with bottles and cans with pennies in them. You will need to use enough bottles and cans to make it uncomfortable for your cat to get comfy, and the noise of the cans and pennies should keep them away too. There is also a product called the "Cozy Crib Tent", which goes on top of the crib to keep animals out, and also to keep the baby in as he/she gets older and tries to climb out of the crib. Even if you let the cat into the nursery, your baby and cat should never be left alone together without supervision.
When baby comes home
After the baby is born, but before he/she comes home, it is a good idea to have someone bring a piece of clothing or blanket from the hospital to the house for your cat to investigate and become familiar with the scent. When you finally bring baby home, don't force the cat to see the baby, let the cat investigate in their own time. Cats can be curious and also frightened by the new family addition. Monitor their interactions closely, but try to refrain from yelling or acting scared and anxious when the cat is near the baby. Cats will sense these emotions and could become territorial or protective of you, or act aggressively. Your cat needs to get the signal from you that they don't need to feel threatened by the baby. You can pet your cat or give him treats while holding the baby. This will show a positive association that the baby is good and fun.
The average cat will probably be curious, but then just go about the day and ignore the newcomer. If there are any signs of aggression or hissing when near the baby or around any baby items, this should be discussed with a feline behaviorist, and they should have no further interactions. Litter box issues are usually the first sign of distress for a cat. Try and make sure you are very vigilant about scooping and keeping the box clean and in a quiet location. Talk with your veterinarian if you are seeing any marking behaviors or signs of litter box problems.
After you bring the baby home, the most important things are to try and keep your cat's daily schedule as consistent as possible, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention along with the baby!

Radical Republicans was the name given to a faction in the U.S. Congress which advocated emancipation of slaves before and during the Civil War, and insisted on harsh penalties for the South following the war, during the period of Reconstruction.
Two prominent leaders of the Radical Republicans were Thaddeus Stevens, a congressman from Pennsylvania, and Charles Sumner, a senator from Massachusetts.
The agenda of the Radical Republicans during the Civil War included opposition to Abraham Lincoln's plans for the post-war South. Thinking Lincoln's ideas were far too lenient, the Radical Republicans backed the Wade-Davis Bill, which advocated more stringent rules for admitting states back into the Union.
After the Civil War, and Lincoln's assassination, the Radical Republicans were outraged by the policies of President Andrew Johnson. Opposition to Johnson included overriding presidential vetoes of legislation and eventually organizing his impeachment.
Background of the Radical Republicans
The leadership of the Radical Republicans tended to be drawn from the abolitionist movement.
Thaddeus Stevens, the leader of the group in the House of Representatives, had been an opponent of slavery for decades. As a lawyer in Pennsylvania he had defended fugitive slaves. In the U.S. Congress he became head of the very powerful House Ways and Means Committee and was able to exert influence on the conduct of the Civil War.
Stevens prodded President Abraham Lincoln to emancipate the slaves. And he also advocated the concept that the states which had seceded would be, at the end of the war, conquered provinces, not entitled to re-enter the Union until they met certain conditions. The conditions would include giving equal rights to freed slaves, and proving loyalty to the Union.
The leader of the Radical Republicans in the Senate, Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, had also been an advocate against slavery. In fact, he had been the victim of a vicious attack in the U.S. Capitol in 1856 when he had beaten with a cane by Congressman Preston Brooks of South Carolina.
The Wade Davis Bill
In late 1863 President Lincoln issued a plan to "reconstruct" the South after the anticipated end of the Civil War. Under Lincoln's plan, if 10 percent of the people in a state took an oath of loyalty to the Union, the state could set up a new state government which would be recognized by the federal government.
The Radical Republicans in Congress were outraged by what they considered an overly mild and forgiving attitude toward the states which were, at that time, waging war against the United States.
They introduced their own bill, the Wade-Davis Bill, named for two members of Congress. The bill would require that a majority of white citizens of a state which had seceded would have to swear loyalty to the United States before a state would be readmitted to the Union.
After Congress passed the Wade-Davis Bill, President Lincoln, in the summer of 1864, refused to sign it, thereby letting it die by pocket veto. Some of the Congressional Republicans responded by attacking Lincoln, even urging that another Republican run against him in that year's presidential election.
By doing so, the Radical Republicans came off as extremists, and alienated many northerners.
Radical Republicans Battled President Andrew Johnson
Following the assassination of Lincoln, the Radical Republicans discovered that the new president, Andrew Johnson, was even more forgiving toward the South. As might be expected, Stevens, Sumner, and the other influential Republicans in Congress were openly hostile to Johnson.
Johnson's policies proved to be unpopular with the public, which led to gains in Congress for the Republicans in 1866. And the Radical Republicans found themselves in the position of being able to override any vetoes by Johnson.
The battles between Johnson and the Republicans in Congress escalated over various pieces of legislation. In 1867 the Radical Republicans succeeded in passing the Reconstruction Act (which was updated with subsequent Reconstruction Acts) and the Fourteenth Amendment.
President Johnson was eventually impeached by the House of Representatives, but was not convicted and removed from office after a trial by the U.S. Senate.
The Radical Republicans After the Death of Thaddeus Stevens
Thaddeus Stevens died on August 11, 1868. After lying in the state in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, he was buried in a cemetery in Pennsylvania he had chosen as it allowed burials of both whites and blacks.
The faction of Congress he had led continued, though without his fiery temperament much of the fury of the Radical Republicans subsided. Plus, they tended to support the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant, who took office in March 1869.

A historic building in Wishek is still smoldering after a fire breaks out in the heart of town.
Central Iron is a family-owned welding business that started on fire early Sunday.
Firefighters battled the flames during extreme cold conditions, but ultimately the business is a total loss.
"As soon as I got close enough and I could see the smoke, I knew it was pretty much gone." says James Fandrich, Central Iron owner.
"There was a lot of fire damage inside before we even got here." says Dave Just, Wishek Fire Chief.
Dave Just has been fire chief in Wishek for less than a month when he was faced with what might be the most dangerous fire of his career.
"It was a very hazardous building to start on fire, probably one of the worst buildings in town that we would have to deal with." says Just.
Luckily no one was inside, but the volunteer fire responders did have to try and stop the flames from spreading while dealing with explosive materials going off, and the kind of cold that can kill you.
"Coldest I've ever had to experience this, yes." says Dave Just.
"We both walked around periodically making sure people took rests, go in, warm up, make sure they can feel their fingers says Rocky Brown, Assistant Fire Chief.
Firefighters soaked nozzles in buckets of hot water and took turns warming up in a nearby business.
The main tanker however actually froze to the ground at one point.
It did keep pumping out water, which was all they really needed to fight the fire.
"We don't know what the cause was yet, and somebody could've definitely been hurt." says James Fandrich, Central Iron owner.
The owner of the building lost to fire says he's thankful no one was working and that firefighters were able to save nearby structures, right next door you can see where firefighters blasted their water, now turned into inches of ice, protecting it from the flames.
"We felt we were unable to save this so we focused on the structures around it." says Just.
Around 25 volunteer members worked through the cold to save this building.
It also belongs to the owner of the Central Iron.
"It's tough, you build a business, and you accumulate a lot of stuff that it's going to be hard to replace." says James.
One thing that will never be replaced, neighbors that show support in big and small ways during the toughest of times.
"Community business owners, moms dads whatever, everybody came out, we had probably another 30 people helping and scrambling, food was donated to us, it was unbelievable how the community came together." says Dave Just.
"Unbelievable, the calls the texts, people stopping by... people have offered equipment, their backs and everything, it's unbelievable everybody wants to help." says Fandrich.
One firefighter was treated and released for smoke inhalation.
The cause remains under investigation.
The owner of the Central Iron says they do not have a loss estimate yet--but it will be assessed by an insurance adjustor--and decide from there, whether or not to rebuild.

Can This Marriage Be Saved? This One Wasn't!
September 2, 2011 at 1:21 pm , by Jennifer Castoro
As you may know, in the 50-plus-year history of our Can This Marriage Be Saved? column, there have been just a handful of times the marriages we've covered haven't made it through counseling (see one example here, of a husband and wife who probably should never have married in the first place). Inspired by our Facebook fan Heather Fraser's question about these doomed unions, here's another of the marriages that could not be saved.
In our February 1973 issue, with a ravishing Liz Taylor on the cover, is the story of Sandy and Guy, a young married couple who weren't mature enough to understand that marriage is a serious commitment but tied the knot anyway. From our editor's notes in the introduction, "Marriage is not a game for children, yet many people behave as if it were."
Sandy's turn Her husband has "a total lack of fiscal responsibility", can't hold down a job and spends all his time drinking. Sandy had been on a round-the-world cruise, financed by her family, and while away she decided to give the marriage another shot. Guy showed up when her ship docked completely drunk, didn't say a word about missing her while she was gone and left her "tottering with fatigue" when she arrived home and had to clean the house and put the kids to bed. When she confronted him about his behavior, he told her to bug off (in slightly rougher language) and turned on the TV. Sandy decided then and there to get a divorce and had her father hire a lawyer. Guy objected but eventually moved out, though he still shows up unannounced all the time. Sandy's first marriage was a disaster arranged by her in-laws, and they divorced because her husband turned out to be gay. She became disillusioned with all men except her father, and when she met Guy she found him spoiled and lazy. She only agreed to marry him after she got pregnant. Before they even wed, he quit his job and invested in a coke-bottling plant that quickly went belly-up. Now all he does is sit around the house all day, sleeping till noon and drinking, and pays the bills with handouts from his mother.
Guy's turn He knows he drinks too much, but he's terribly sorry and promises to stay "off the sauce" if Sandy will take him back. Her family is always interfering – in the last year she spent 10 weeks away from him and the kids on her father's tab – and she won't give him an ounce of sympathy or understanding for his troubles. He's never going to make as much money as Sandy's father, even though he's tried – he quit his low-paying engineering job to invest with a friend who swindled him out of all his savings. He's bitter that he had to badger Sandy into marrying him, and he invested with the fraudulent friend without thinking it through because he panicked at having a wife and children to support (Sandy had a daughter from her first marriage). And so what if he pays his bills with the help of his family? It's no different than his wife taking free vacations and hiring nannies on her father's dime. She's not the maternal type so he takes care of the kids – she's just as cold to them as she is to Guy. But he doesn't want to get divorced – he's finally gotten a good job with a real-estate company and quit drinking, so he deserves another chance.
The counselor's turn They were doomed from the start. As the counselor said, "There is no magic here. Unless a husband and wife want to stay together and are willing to compromise, their relationship cannot be improved by professional aid." Their biggest uniting factor was a strong physical attraction, which started to weaken before they were even married when Sandy got pregnant. She never wanted to marry Guy in the first place because she "doubted his strength of character," and he only wanted to marry her because he was fascinated with her wealthy family and wanted be a success, too – without doing any work. They were both immature – she suspicious of all men besides her father and he dominated and spoiled by his mother – and opposed in every area of their personalities. She liked to work for work's sake, he didn't; she was a planner, he was a dreamer; she thought things through and he acted on impulse, and the list went on. They got divorced, and Guy continues to see his son every weekend. Sandy got a job as a medical technician and is, a year after their divorce, on the verge of her third marriage.

PHOTO CALL: Saving Aimee, With Carolee Carmello and Judy Kaye, in Seattle
By Lucas Lilieholm
Kathie Lee Gifford, David Friedman and David Pomeranz's musical Saving Aimee, starring Tony Award nominee Carolee Carmello as 1920's evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, plays the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle.
5th Avenue artistic director David Armstrong directs Saving Aimee, which began previews Sept. 30 and will continue through Oct. 29. Saving Aimee has book and lyrics by actress, writer and talk-show host Gifford, and music by Friedman and Pomeranz.
Here is a look at the production:
Two-time Tony nominee Carmello (Parade, Hello Again, Lestat, The Addams Family) created the role of McPherson in the 2007 world-premiere staging of Saving Aimee at the Signature Theatre in Arlington, VA. The writers have refined the material since its debut.
The cast of Saving Aimee also includes Tony winner Judy Kaye, fresh off the world premiere of Tales of the City, as Minnie Kennedy; Roz Ryan (Dreamgirls) as Emma Jo Schaffer; as well as Ed Dixon (Mary Poppins, Sunday in the Park With George); Ed Watts (Finian's Rainbow); Charles Leggett; and Brandon O'Neill (Aladdin at the 5th Avenue).
Completing the ensemble are Jared Michael Brown, Christian Duhmel, Richard Gray, Cayman Ilika, Brandi Chavonne Massey, Cheryl Massey-Peters, Corrina Lapid-Munter, Heath Saunders, Aaron Shanks, Tim Shew, Mara Solar, Billie Wildrick and Matt Wolfe.
According to the 5th Avenue, "This is the powerful true story of 1920's evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, who catapulted to unexpected stardom as the founder of the first mega-church and a media empire. The rise and fall of a woman cloaked in intrigue, embroiled in scandal, and at the heart of one of the nation's first sensationalized trials, Saving Aimee, celebrates the unstoppable force of a powerful woman inspired to great heights in a man's world."

A Holocaust museum is the last thing you would expect to see on Eagle Street in North Adams, the smallest city in Massachusetts. But a Holocaust museum is exactly what Darrell English has opened here, just down the street from the local hot spot, Jack's Hot Dog Stand. Both storefronts are about the same size.
In an inconspicuous, rented retail space that formerly was a bookshop, English has put on display a small fraction of his vast collection of Holocaust-related materials. Every day except for Wednesday, from 10 a.m to 5 p.m., you can find him inside, answering the occasional call, planning new displays, and welcoming passersby who wander in.

Yield: about 12 large popcorn balls
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup light corn syrup
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp (2 oz) butter, cubed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3-oz bag plain microwave popcorn (yield: about 11 cups)
- 1 cup roasted salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup crisp rice cereal
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup miniature M&Ms or other candies
1. Pop the microwave popcorn and place it in a large bowl that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, salt, and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, and stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts.
3. Insert a candy thermometer and boil the candy, without stirring, until the thermometer reads 244 degrees F (118 C).
4. Once the candy reaches the proper temperature, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Pour half of the hot sugary syrup over the popcorn in the bowl, and stir until it's well-distributed. Add the chopped nuts, cereal, and marshmallows, and then pour on the rest of the sugar syrup and stir until everything is coated. Right before you're ready to form the balls, stir in the M&Ms. If you stir them in too early, the heat will melt the candy coating and smear chocolate everywhere. As an alternative, you can leave them out of the popcorn balls or choose to press them on the outside after the balls are formed.
6. Wet your hands or spray them with nonstick cooking spray, then form the popcorn mixture into large balls about 3" in diameter. Re-wet or re-spray your hands as needed. Don't be afraid to firmly press the balls together as you're forming them so that they don't fall apart.
7. Let the balls cool to room temperature, then serve. These Packed Popcorn Balls taste best on the day that they are made, but can be enjoyed up to 24 hours from the time they are made. (After this period, they begin to taste stale.) If you're not eating them immediately, wrap them individually in cling wrap.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Packers coach Mike McCarthy says tight end Jermichael Finley suffered a significant neck injury in Sunday's win over the Browns and needs more tests to determine the severity.
But McCarthy said Monday that Finley is upbeat and "performing daily activities."
Finley was taken to a hospital after being carted off the field following the hit from Cleveland safety Tashaun Gipson during the 31-13 victory.
McCarthy was unsure how long Finley would be in the hospital. He says Finley remains in positive spirits.
McCarthy says there's no timeline on Finley's return.
Receiver James Jones missed Sunday's game with a knee injury. McCarthy said the initial thought was that Jones might miss at least a couple weeks, but added that his availability would be evaluated again Wednesday.

The 2010 NFL season was something of a joke for the NFC West. The division managed to supply the first sub-.500 playoff team and was the butt of more jokes than I can count. I generally ignored when the likes of Jon Gruden were mocking the division because at the end of the day people like him have no control over what happens in our division. The Seahawks managed a first round upset of the New Orleans Saints, but the division lost any momentum from that win courtesy of their fairly ugly loss last weekend to the Chicago Bears.
However, the tide might very well be turning, at least for some teams. The most high profile addition thus far was the 49ers ability to land Jim Harbaugh to become the new head coach. He's since worked to develop a solid cast of coaches and the 49ers appear to find themselves on the right track at this point.
A second high profile hiring within the division was the Rams ability to land former Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels as their new offensive coordinator. The Rams took a huge step forward in part because of the guidance of OC Pat Shurmur. After Shurmur was hired by the Browns to become their new head coach, McDaniels quickly entered the picture. The Rams went through a mini-Harbaugh-esque dramatic swing when McDaniels appeared to become a candidate for a similar position in Seattle. However, things eventually worked out for the Rams and McDaniels took over the offensive operations under a two-year deal.
The Seattle Seahawks made their own small coaching splash adding the recently released Raiders head coach Tom Cable. Pete Carroll brought in Cable to work as offensive line coach and assistant head coach, while apparently getting some say in who will be their next offensive coordinator. There are mixed opinions about Tom Cable given some of his personal issues and a question how much his staff played into the Raiders renewed relative success in 2010. Either way, he's certainly a sort of name brand position coach, or at least not an anonymous hire.
The only NFC West team to not really make a splash has been the Arizona Cardinals. The biggest news for them has been the firing of defensive coordinator Billy Davis. For those who think that name sounds familiar but can't quite place it, Davis was 49ers defensive coordinator in 2005 and 2006 but was fired by Mike Nolan after 2006 and replaced by Greg Manusky.
I mention all these hirings because I'm curious if this will be enough to hold off early season jokes about the NFC West. I've noticed a lot more comments in our various threads discussing these hirings and some discussion about the climb back to respectability of the NFC West. A few coaching hires are likely going to buy some time, but we all know performance next season will really dictate what people think. After all, predictions in July and August have proven time and again to be fairly useless.
I'd suspect the Rams will be getting as much love from preseason prognosticators as anybody else in the division. The 49ers will get some love, but the Rams are in the midst of a resurgence behind a franchise QB. Add in Josh McDaniels and even with Sam Bradford potentially having to learn a new offense, the media is going to love this Rams team next year. Crazy things could happen this offseason but I'd imagine we'll see a lot of 10-6 predictions for the Rams.
The 49ers will get some love because of the Harbaugh hiring, but until they figure out their quarterback situation, I'd suspect it will be somewhat tentative press. The team's performance and the team's coverage in the national media are going to be hard to predict as things currently stand. Although I suppose if you're a big believer in Harbaugh's offensive magic, you're figuring he can improve just about anybody at the QB position.
The Seahawks offseason exposure will likely have as much to do with how offseason #2 goes for Pete Carroll. He made a lot of moves last year. I'd imagine some more changes are in store, but Carroll will also need to figure out what he's got from last year's moves.
The Cardinals remain stuck in neutral and have some big holes to fill in the coming months. They really need a homerun offseason from their front office if they want to make a stab at climbing out of the cellar. If they don't make some big moves in the draft and free agency, 2011 could be another long year for Cardinals fans.
Given all that, I'd like to hope we'll see some more respectful discussion of the NFC West around the nation. I'm not holding my breath, but I'd like to think the pieces are in place for some kind of divisional resurgence.

Q4 - I divorced my spouse for reasons that have no biblical basis. Neither one of us have remarried. What should I do to demonstrate repentance and obedience to God's Word?
If at all possible seek reconciliation and be reunited in marriage to your former spouse.
1 Corinthians 7:10-11
To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. (NIV)
Q5 - I divorced my spouse for reasons that have no biblical basis. Reconciliation is no longer possible because one of us has remarried. What should I do to demonstrate repentance and obedience to God's Word?
Though divorce is a serious matter in God's opinion (Malachi 2:16), it is not the unforgivable sin. If you confess your sins to God and ask for forgiveness, you are forgiven (1 John 1:9) and can move on with your life. If you can confess your sin to your former spouse and ask forgiveness without causing further hurt, you should seek to do so. From this point forward you should commit to honor God's Word pertaining to marriage. Then if your conscience permits you to remarry, you should do so carefully and reverently when the time comes. Only marry a fellow believer. If your conscience tells you to remain single, then remain single.
Q6 - I did not want a divorce, but my ex-spouse unwillingly forced it on me. Reconciliation is no longer possible because of extenuating circumstances. Does this mean I cannot marry again in the future?
In most cases, both parties are to blame in a divorce. However, in this situation, you are biblically considered the "innocent" spouse. You are free to remarry, but you should do so carefully and reverently when the time comes, and only marry a fellow believer. The principles taught in 1 Corinthians 7:15, Matthew 5:31-32 and Matthew 19:9 would apply in this case.
Q7 - I divorced my spouse for unbiblical reasons and/or remarried before I became a Christian. What does this mean for me?
When you become a Christian, your past sins are washed away and you receive a brand new fresh start. Regardless of your marital history before you were saved, receive God's forgiveness and cleansing. From this point forward you should commit to honor God's Word pertaining to marriage.
2 Corinthians 5:17-18
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. (NIV)
Q8 - My spouse committed adultery (or another form of sexual immorality). According to Matthew 5:32 I have grounds for divorce. Should I get a divorce because I can?
One way to consider this question might be to think of all the ways we, as followers of Christ, commit spiritual adultery against God, through sin, neglect, idolatry, and apathy. But God does not forsake us. His heart is always to forgive and reconcile us back to him when we turn back and repent of our sin.
We can extend this same measure of grace toward a spouse when they have been unfaithful, yet have come to a place of repentance. Marital unfaithfulness is extremely devastating and painful. Trust requires time to rebuild. Give God plenty of time to work in a broken marriage, and to work in each spouse's heart, before following through with divorce. Forgiveness, reconciliation and restoration of the marriage honors God and testifies of his amazing grace.
Colossians 3:12-14
Since God chose you to be the holy people whom he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. And the most important piece of clothing you must wear is love. Love is what binds us all together in perfect harmony. (NLT)
Note: These answers are simply meant as a guide for reflection and study. They are not offered as an alternative to godly, biblical counseling. If you have serious questions or concerns and are facing divorce or considering remarriage, I recommend that you seek counsel from your pastor or a Christian counselor. In addition, I am certain that many will disagree with the views expressed in this study, and therefore, readers should examine the Bible for themselves, seek the Holy Spirit's guidance, and follow their own conscience in the matter.

What you will need
Sweet shortcrust pastry (500g flour, 100g icing sugar, 250g butter, zest of a lemon, 2 eggs, milk)
1kg plums
100g vanilla sugar
1/2 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp cornflour in 1 tbsp water
285g blanched whole almonds
50g plain flour
1 vanilla pod
250g unsalted butter
250g caster sugar
3 eggs
First and foremost I made the pastry. I have a history of failure with pastry. Stupid stuff but I persevered. Practice makes perfect after all. Sieve flour and icing sugar together and then rub the cold butter into the flour and sugar until it looks like breadcrumbs. Then mix in the lemon zest. Beat the eggs and then add them along with the milk to the dry mixture to bring it together. Put it in cling film and then refrigerate for at least half an hour.
Grease a nice big loose bottomed cake tin. Extract the pastry from the fridge and line the tin with it. This process pretty much always makes beads of sweat form on my brow. It is a tense time in the kitchen if I am lining pastry. I'm frowning a little bit now even.
Anyway. To make the frangipane. Blitz the blanched almonds until you get a fine powder and then mix this with the flour. Try your best to get the seeds out of the vanilla pod and mix those in a mixer with the butter and sugar until creamy. Put the almonds and flour into the mixer with the eggs until smooth. Refrigerate this mixture for at least half an hour.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas 4.
Jam time. To make the plum jam to line the bottom of the tart give yourself longer than you might think. It's not a quick process. The before and after are both above. Halve the plums and remove the stones. Chop half up and heat in a pan with the sugar and mixed spice. Cook until it looks like jam and then add the cornflour and water.
While you're waiting...and waiting...for this to thicken, macerate the other half of the plums with some icing sugar.All That I'm Eating
Let us ignore and gloss over the holes in the pastry case and concentrate on the pretty jam that's covering the bottom. Thank goodness the jam isn't transparent. Then spoon over the frangipane mixture and push the left over plums into the fluffy frangipane.

text: Pitt AD Steve Pederson announced this evening that men's basketball coach Jamie Dixon has been fired. Dixon, head coach at Pitt since 2003, won multiple national coach of the year awards and had a 227-62 overall record (.785) at Pitt, but only once guided the team past the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA tournament (an Elite Eight appearance in 2009-2009). This season the team, at one point 11-1 and ranked in the top 15, is 11-6, off to an unprecedented 0-4 start in the conference, and has lost five straight games - most recently (and apparently the final straw) a 62-39 loss to lowly Rutgers - at home.

There are more than 200 homes on the active market in Quincy alone. What can you do to make sure your house still stands out above the rest?
It's called 'curb appeal' and it's possible a potential buyer already made a decision within the first few seconds of seeing it.
Prospective buyer Dan Moore looked at one of the 202 houses on the active housing market over the weekend and he said the first thing he notices isn't what's inside.
"Curb appeal means something to me. To get me to take a second look, something about it has to look good," he said.
Century 21 Real Estate Agent Katherine Barclay said you don't have to spend massive amounts of money to enhance the exterior of your home.
"Power wash your house and get out there with the hose and spray it off, clean the windows," Barclay said. "Windows make the inside of the house brighter and make the houses gleam from the streets. Easy fixes, no money and a little bit of water."
Barclay says the first thing people look for is the exterior and that's the biggest first impression. If it's not up to date, people are going to think it's overpriced from the beginning. But with an up to date exterior, people are more willing to think that it's reasonably priced and more willing to negotiate.
"I have tried to sell homes that do not care about curb appeal," Barclay added. "Trash cans on the side of the road. Recycling bins, garbage out front, they don't sell as fast, it takes away a lot."
For buyers like Moore, a bad exterior can ruin everything.
"I'm going to start wondering about the rest of the quality. If the landscaping looks bad on the outside, what else is there that's not seen immediately that I need to look for," he said.
In just one month, Barclay said the housing market has changed from a buyers market to a sellers market.
As for the inside, Barclay says according to the National Association of Realtors the most important things for buyers are modern kitchens, modern bathrooms, and a finished basement.
