Please Pray for the Recovery of His Eminence Metropolitan Philip
While in Florida and undergoing tests in the hospital, Metropolitan Philip suffered a minor heart attack on Sunday. He is in an encouraging situation in ICU.
A prayer service for His Eminence will be held this Monday afternoon at the Archdiocese Headquarters. We ask all of you to hold prayer services for his speedy recovery.
Update Tuesday Mar 11: Thanks to your collective and fervent prayers, Metropolitan Philip's status has improved. He is extubated (i.e. the doctors removed the tube from his mouth) and has conversed with his relatives and friends around him. He also conversed with His Beatitude Patriarch John X on the phone.
Please continue to pray for his speedy recovery.
Rejoicing at Release of Captive Nuns
On the Sunday of Orthodoxy, March 9, 2014, multiple media outlets including a leading newspaper in Lebanon, The Daily Star, reported that the thirteen nuns held in captivity by Syrian rebels for over three months were freed late in the day, as a result of Lebanese and Qatari mediation. Officers from Lebanon's General Security received the nuns on the outskirts of the Lebanese town of Arsal.
Parishioners and clergy at the Archdiocese's mother cathedral, St. Nicholas Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral in Brooklyn, NY, received the joyous news during the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy in which Bishop Nicholas was presiding. "We learned of the release just prior to commencing Holy Communion, and began ringing the bells of the Cathedral loudly, chanting 'O Lord, save Thy people' and 'To Thee the Champion Leader,'" says Archpriest Thomas Zain, Vicar-General of the Antiochian Archdiocese. An English translation of a statement from His Beatitude John X, Patriarch of Antioch, is being prepared by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East.
Sunday of Orthodoxy
Today hath appeared, a day full of joy, because the splendor of true doctrine shineth forth brilliantly, and the Church of Christ now sparkleth, adorned by the elevation of the Icons of the saints and their illustrating pictures, and believers attain there a unity rewarded of God.
+ Orthros of the Feast, Tone 4
On the first Sunday in Lent, we commemorate the decision of the Seventh Ecumenical Council in 787 A.D. upholding the use of holy icons in Orthodox worship. We also commemorate today the unity of Orthodox belief and the oneness of our Faith throughout our various jurisdictions, nations and languages and across the continents and the centuries.

Lenten Encyclical of Patriarch John X of Antioch and All the East
The Great Lent: When Mercy Dries Up, Fasting Suffers Drought
By God's mercy John X, Patriarch of Antioch and all the East
Brethren, Pastors of the Holy Church of Antioch;
Beloved children in all dioceses in this apostolic see
Brethren and dearest spiritual children, whose strength and anticipation in God, strengthen ours;
Entering this redemptive period which leads us to the Cross (of Christ) and the dawn of His and thus our resurrection, these days bring to us the anticipation to Jesus and His divine consolation for His beloved humans; for whom He descended from His highest, incarnated in the Virgin, submitting Himself to the human law, willingly walking the path of the Cross, in order to rise from the dead, becoming the first fruit for our resurrection from our earthly misery and tribulation.
Jesus chose the path of the Cross, and drank from the chalice of death to simply tell us that the tribulation of our times will not overshadow our hope for light, and that hardship cannot eclipse the brightness of resurrection.
Antiochian Women's Month Spotlights Role Models
The month of March is designated as Antiochian Women's Month by His Eminence Metropolitan Philip, and is a time when the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Women of North America encourage their sisters in Christ to minister in their parishes and their communities. With this in mind, Khouria Suzanne Murphy, Religious Coordinator for the National Board of the Antiochian Women, wrote this reflection about the women saints of the Church.
When I was a little girl, I loved to read stories about brave knights and lovely princesses. By the time I was a mother, societal sensibilities had broadened so that our children not only read about brave knights, but also brave princesses. The Walt Disney company did a good job of coming up with female characters that were both feminine and brave – and they did this without diminishing the virtues of the male heroes. Our Orthodox saints, however, are not fairy-tale heroes. These brave men and women (and children) faced very real horrors – torture, enslavement, and death – with steadfast resolve.

Cheesefare Sunday (Forgiveness Sunday)
O Lord, we were estranged before from paradise, because of eating from the tree. Therefore, lead us into it again by Thy Cross and by Thy Passion, my Savior and my God. Fortify us therein that we may fulfill our fast with becoming purity, and worship Thy divine Resurrection and Passover of salvation, by the intercessions of Thy Mother.
-- from Orthros, Tone 2
For those observing the Lenten Fast, Cheese-Fare Sunday is the last day on which eggs and dairy are eaten before Pascha.
On Cheese-Fare Sunday, we also commemorate the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise, entering into the Lenten fast in remembrance of mankind's separation from God through disobeying his commandment to fast from the fruit of the tree.
Repose of St. Raphael of Brooklyn
On February 27, we commemorate the repose of our beloved father among the saints, St. Raphael (Hawaweeny) of Brooklyn.
Today is the day we honor the holy hierarch Raphael! Who can describe his many sorrows and his many labors? Who can describe his many pains? He journeyed on land and on the sea, searching for his lost sheep, in weariness and in poverty, in sleeplessness, thirst and hunger. He became the good shepherd of the lost sheep in America, so let us cry out unto to him: O our Father, intercede for the salvation of our souls!

Metropolitan Philip Inaugurates 2014 Food for Hungry People Campaign
Beloved in the Lord:
Greetings and blessings to you as we enter this most holy season of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
It is with the greatest joy that I write to you today to inaugurate the 2014 Food for Hungry People campaign. This year marks the 40th anniversary of this charitable drive. When reflecting on the past 40 years, I call to mind the countless charitable organizations and individuals that we have helped because of this fund. Through the efforts of our dedicated and long-standing chairlady, Miss Robin Nicholas, and by your generosity on the parish level, this drive has grown into a strong witness of our Holy Orthodox faith on this continent and throughout the world.
This year holds special significance as we continue to raise funds through various means to help those affected by the war in Syria. Through your contributions to FFHP over the years, we have helped many of the orphanages and other charitable organizations within Syria and throughout our Patriarchate and the entire the Middle East, in addition to our domestic charitable contributions. As we continue to witness the horrors of the war in Syria, please make a special effort this year to use FFHP to raise funds and awareness to the tragedy there so we can help those in need even more.
We urge you, during this season of prayer, self-discipline and fasting, to be very generous in your contribution to this campaign. As we practice the virtues which cleanse our souls, let us not forget or refrain from what St. John Chrysostom calls the "greatest of the virtues," giving to the poor. As important as prayer and fasting are, they are of no avail to us if we fail to give to those in need.
Meatfare Sunday (Sunday of the Last Judgment)
The trumpets shall blow, and the graves shall be empty, and all mankind shall rise trembling. They who have done good shall rejoice with joy, expecting their reward; and those who have done evil shall tremble greatly, moaning and shaking, as they are sent to suffering, separated from the elect. Wherefore, O Lord of glory, be compassionate toward us, and make us worthy to be of those who love thee; for thou art good.
- from Vespers, Tone 6
For those observing the Lenten Fast, Meatfare Sunday is the last day on which meat and poultry are eaten before Pascha.

Great Lent Resources and Readings Offered
As the faithful prepare to celebrate the high point of the Church year—Great Lent, Holy Week and Pascha—the Archdiocese highlights our section of resources and reading for the season. Great Lent Resources & Readings is a topical library of links and reflections that presents the meaning and practice of the forty days of prayer and worship of Lent, for both newcomers to the Orthodox Christian Faith as well as for those who are rediscovering the spiritual benefits of the Lenten journey.
Visitors to Great Lent Resources & Readings will find three subsections:
- All Revered Days: the Lenten Calendar is a library of information broken into the weeks of Lent from the Pre-Lenten Sundays through Holy Week,
- Bright Sadness: Entering into the Lenten Spring contains counsel about making the most of the forty days, and
- Holy Week: Journey to the Empty Tomb offers an overview of Holy Week as well as reflections on some of its specific days, such as Holy Friday.
We are grateful to all the various sources who have allowed us to repurpose their material, and we encourage those maintaining Orthodox websites of their own to link to this section.
Sunday of the Prodigal Son
When I disobey in ignorance thy fatherly glory, I wasted in iniquities the riches that thou gavest me. Wherefore, I cry to thee with the voice of the prodigal son, saying, I have sinned before thee, O compassionate Father, receive me repentant, and make me as one of thy hired servants.
- Kontakion, Tone 3
I have been entrusted with a verdant and faultless region, but I planted evil in its soil and reaped its cares with the scythe of laziness. And I gathered my deeds into sheaves but placed them not on the threshing-floor of repentance. Wherefore, I ask thee, O divine Husbandman, to winnow the straw of my deeds with the breeze of thy compassionate love; and fill my soul with the wheat of forgiveness. Store me in thy heavenly garners and save me.
- from Vespers, Tone 1
Sunday of the Publican and the Pharisee
O Lord, Thou didst reproach the Pharisee when he justified himself, boasting of his deeds; and justified the Publican when he approached humbly, seeking forgiveness with sighs; for Thou dost not draw near to arrogant thoughts, nor turn away contrite hearts. Wherefore, we also kneel before Thee meekly, O Thou Who didst suffer for our sakes. Grant us forgiveness and the Great Mercy.
--Doxasticon from Orthros, Tone 8
When the Pharisee went down with empty glory, and the publican bowed himself in repentance, they came to Thee alone, O Master. But the one through boasting lost his reward, and the other by his silence deserved gifts. Wherefore, by those sighs confirm me, O Christ God, since Thou art the Lover of mankind.
--from the Praises at Orthros, Tone 1

"For the Sake of Others:" Interview with Katrina Bitar
Katrina Bitar is the North America Program Director for YES, or Youth Equipped to Serve. A ministry of FOCUS North America, YES provides opportunities for junior high and high school students to participate in formative weekends of service in urban environments across the U.S. and Canada. A lifetime member of the Antiochian Archdiocese, Katrina began working with youth during her college years and eventually was tapped to head the YES program after graduating from St. Vladimir's Seminary in 2009. A look at her busy calendar for the first half of 2014 reveals that she will be involved with outreach efforts in Philadelphia, Montreal, Oklahoma City, Grand Rapids, Houston, Austin, and St. Louis. Antiochian.org asked her to introduce the work of YES and explain the impact it is having on the Church's youth.
What is your background, and how did you first get involved with YES?
I was born in Burbank, California, but spent most of my life in Little Falls, NJ. I discovered my youth ministry gifts while serving at the Antiochian Village as a counselor during my college years. In 2001, I took a job as a youth director for a parish in Phoenix, AZ that began my full-time youth ministry work. It was through my work as a parish youth director that I was introduced to the YES Program.

"Writing Icons of the Kingdom" is Youth Conference Theme
The 12th Annual Orthodox Christian Camp and Youth Workers Conference took place at Antiochian Village in Ligonier, PA from January 23-25, 2014. Over 80 youth workers from across the United States and Canada gathered together for this year's conference, sponsored by the Orthodox Christian Camps Association and youth departments from different jurisdictions. This year's conference was co-hosted by the Youth and Camping Ministries of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA and the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese of the U.S.A. The theme of the Conference was "Writing Icons of the Kingdom: Understanding our Youth as Icons we are Helping to Write."
Ruling Hierarch of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese His Grace Bishop Gregory of Nyssa was the keynote speaker. In his first address, Bishop Gregory spoke about the unity required of us in youth ministry in order to effectively "write" icons for the kingdom. For his second address His Grace stepped aside for a very special presenter, Protopresbyter Mark Leasure, his priest from St. George Church in Taylor, PA, who brought the myrrh-streaming icons of the Mother of God that reside in his parish.
Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple + February 2
Adorn thy chamber, O Zion, and receive Christ the King. Welcome Mary the heavenly gate; for she hath appeared as a cherubic throne; she carrieth the King of glory. Verily, the Virgin is a cloud of light carrying in her body the Son Who is before the morning star, Whom Simeon carrying in his arms proclaimed to the nations as the Lord of life and death, and the Savior of our souls.
-Vespers of the Feast, Tone 7
Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos, full of grace, for from thee arose the Sun of justice, Christ our God, lighting those who are in darkness. Rejoice and be glad, O righteous old man, carrying in thine arms the Deliverer of our souls, Who granteth us Resurrection.
-Apolytikion of the Feast, Tone 1
Common Statement by Patriarch John X of Antioch and All the East, and Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia
On January 30, 2014, His Beatitude Patriarch John X of Antioch and All the East concluded his five-day visit to Russia, and the following Common Statement with His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia was released (translation provided by the Russian Orthodox Church):
At the invitation of Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill, Patriarch of Antioch and all the East John X paid his official visit to the Russian Orthodox Church from January 25 to 30, 2014. The Patriarchate of Antioch is going now through difficult times because of the violence committed in its homeland and its tragic consequences of the political crisis for its people. This visit has given the two sister Churches the opportunity to discuss several disturbing issues affecting their witness and ministry. The two Churches feel the need to state the following:
1. The important mission of a Church in a society is to bear witness in word and deed to God's love for each person, regardless of his or her religious belief or national identity. Following the words of Christ "Blessed are peacemakers, for they will be called children of God (Mt. 5:9), we proclaim peace and respect for the human dignity and rights. Every human being is an object of Divine Compassion; it is because of God's love that the Incarnation took place and that the Holy Spirit continues to work in our midst. This basic principle inspires the two sister Churches in their actions, service and cooperation.
Feast of the Three Holy Hierarchs + January 30
Let all who love their words come together and honor with hymns the three luminaries of the light-creating Trinity: Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and renowned John of golden speech, who have enlightened the world with the rays of their divine doctrines, and are mellifluous rivers of wisdom who have watered all creation with streams of divine knowledge; they ever intercede with the Trinity for us.
-Troparion, Tone 1
Thou hast taken the sacred and divinely inspired heralds, the crown of Thy teachers, O Lord, for the enjoyment of Thy blessings and for repose. For Thou hast accepted their sufferings and labors above every burnt offering, O Thou Who alone dost glorify Thy Saints.
-Kontakion, Tone 2

text: Jul25 musicfeaturesdanzigGlenn Danzigmisfits The 11 Most Glorious Danzig Videos on the Internet Glenn Danzig + Youtube = Internet gold. 11. Danzig on Aqua Teen Hunger Force Danzig as a cartoon is just plain funny. Just look at those animated pecs. But him buying a house with a pool of blood is even funnier because it's very likely that Danzig has actually done that at some point. Prove he hasn't. 10. Danzig on Beavis and Butthead Danzig was famous enough in the 90s to get the Beavis and Butthead treatment not once, not twice, not thrice, but four times, including two versions of "Mother." Beavis and Butthead raise an interesting point: Who would win in a fight, Danzig or Danny Bonaduce? 9. Danzig on Fox News You could tell Danzig was like, "I'm gonna go on Fox News with my dumb sunglasses and leather jacket and badmouth Obama. That'll show everyone that DANZIG DOESN'T PLAY BY ANYONE'S RULES!" And the brainless podpeople at Fox News just eat it up. Just look at the smug look on his Aspergersy face. It's wonderful. Danzig, you are wonderful. 8. This Guy Singing a Misfits Song on American Idol Glenn doesn't even make an appearance in this video and it still made the list. Such is the power of Danzig. Here's a guy auditioning on American Idol with the Misfits' 'Die, Die My Darling' to the bewilderment of Paula Abdul and the British dude. 7. Danzig Interview attempt God bless this poor Dutch bastard who had to interview Danzig at this festival in 1995. It looks like pulling teeth. You'd be better off interviewing a 4-year-old who just woke up from a nap. Danzig does make one great point in the interview though: "Right now in music, I see a trend towards…if someone's your friend, that means their band is good." Oh god we feel you on that, Danzig. 6. Danzig's Grocery Shopping List Why is everyone captivated by Glenn Danzig's shopping list? What is it about seeing him pick up kitty litter at the store that is so goddamn compelling? Not sure, but whoever made this video clearly understands the inherent humor behind the phenomenon. 5. Photographer Freak Out Not sure why Danzig was so pissed about being filmed at Bonnaroo last year. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that he was playing Bonnaroo. Or that his shirt's fibers were clinging to dear life. But he took it out on one photographer. Here it is from another another angle. 4. Danzig Beats Up Some Speakers This video is funny enough for capturing the hilarious sight of Danzig performing in broad daylight. But then at 1:34, Danzig goes ballistic and takes out some of his frustration on the monitors. (He probably didn't get enough b-12 in the green room.) And then the poor stage crew tried to fix them but Danzig's all, "Oh no you don't fix those monitors, I'm Danzig and if wanna throw monitors around, so be it." 3. Danzig/Shakira Mashup Why this YouTube user had the time and inspiration to make this Danzig/Shakira mashup is totally irrelevant because it is not only one of the funniest Danzig videos, but one of the funniest YouTube videos in general. God bless whoever made this for brilliantly pointing out the similarities in their singing styles. 2. The Knockout Heard Round the World With over 2 million views, this is the most popular video on the list. Glenn has always been an advocate of Jeet Kune Do but that didn't seem to help him when he picked a fight with a much larger person. The lesson learned: If you knock out Danzig, you will have enough material to write a book apparently. 1. Danzig's Book Club A shirtless book club + a smiling Danzig = just the best Danzig video ever made. If we missed any, leave them in the comments. We have infinite time and interest when it comes to Danzig videos. posted by Dan Ozzi Permalink

Pacific was able to squeak out a road victory at Grand Canyon University tonight, as the Tigers defeated the Antelopes by a score of 69-67.
With 14:57 to play, it appeared as if the Antelopes were about ready to run away with the game with a 47-34 lead. Pacific then proceeded to go on a 17-3 run over the next 6 minutes or so to take its first lead of the second half. The two teams went back-and-forth for the rest of the half until they were tied with 1:30 to go. With 1:01 to play, Tony Gill made a layup to put the Tigers up one. The Antelopes had a chance to win or tie the game as time expired, but Jerome Garrison could not get his layup to falls and Tigers prevailed.
Pacific got solid performances from a trio of seniors – Andrew Bock, Tony Gill and Sama Taku. Bock led the team in scoring tonight. Taku finished the game with 15 points and led Pacific with four assists. Gill, like Taku, had 15 points and led the team on the glass with seven rebounds.
Killian Larson and Daniel Alexander both contributed 20 point performances for the Antelopes. Jerome Garrison was their other double-digit scorer with 13 points.
Larson finished off his double-double with 11 rebounds, along with leading the team in rebounding. Akachi Okugo's seven assists led the team as well.
The Pacific Tigers will move onto the round of 16 in the CIT tournament with the win. The CIT reseeds after each round to cut down of travel times and costs. Their next game is TBD, along with their opponent.

Xbox 360 extender will not connect. Xbox is in network.... HELP!!
Sorry if something has been posted already like this; I did a quick search and couldn't find anything to solve my particular problems.
[COLOR=#3485bd !important][COLOR=#3485bd !important]My [COLOR=#3485bd !important]router[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] is a Belkin Wireless N router. My PC is connected wirelessly to the network. The Xbox is connected via ethernet. I have Windows Firewall completely off and no other firewall installed. In the network map, I can see the Xbox 360.
I can see my Xbox and it can see my PC. But they will not link together completely.
I can use get it to work if I have my computer wired to the router. The only problem is trying to go wireless.
I go through the setup to get to add extender and get the 8 digit code. I put it in and it goes to the "configuring computer settings" and then times out saying "cannot setup extender". When I go to the online help section it only tells me to enable UPnP setting which is already enabled.
Please help me!!!!

odd thought that would have fixed it but your able to connect wireless to the router regardless right and go online like on xbox live and all that wireless on the xbox because i find it weird that it would still not function even after giving it rights to the homegroup, not sure how to fix it :/ anyways got to know if you can connect to xbox live wireless to know if your router is blocking the xbox or not since you said it works hard wired with the ethernet

An exciting weekend of Missouri Valley conference play is in the books as each series saw it's teams square off in closely contested match-ups. Perhaps the most exciting was Missouri State and Illinois State's Friday night opener, in which starters Nick Petree and Chris Razo exchanged strike-outs down the stretch before Petree was ultimately handed his first loss of the season. Perhaps the most controversial was Creighton's opening game win over Bradley which saw a critical play at the plate, and a not completely unexpected ejection thereafter. Southern Illinois and Evansville saw their own pitchers' duel on Friday night as starters Kyle Freeland and Cody Forsythe both went nine innings in a finish that would need extras to decide it. Meanwhile, Indiana State rescued a sweep at the hands of Wichita State after Sean Manaea, who was scratched from his Friday start, was able to pick up the win on Sunday. Continue reading

Missouri Valley Conference Weekend Recap (March 22nd-24th)
The start of Missouri Valley Conference play was marked as it always seems to be: with a winter snow storm. All the teams in the Valley rushed to finish their series before Sunday (with the notable exception of Wichita State who had the fortune of playing in Hawaii—and ironically had Sunday's game rained out). In the first weekend of conference play, Creighton took two of three on the road at Evansville, while Indiana State proved they will be a tough team to beat this season by taking all three from visiting Southern Illinois. Out of conference, Illinois State dropped their series to Eastern Illinois, Bradley lost their two games against Dartmouth in Florida, and although their basketball team is on a tear this March, the Wichita State baseball team struggled through their road series at Hawaii, picking up just one win in their four game series. Missouri State had the weekend off. Continue reading
CBD Visit: McNeil Leads Dirtbags Past Wichita State
LONG BEACH, Calif. — Jeff McNeil singled home the tying run in the sixth inning and put Long Beach State ahead with an RBI single in a three-run eighth inning as the Dirtbags defeated Wichita State 4-1 Friday night at Blair Field. The win snapped a six-game losing streak for Long Beach State.
Long Beach's offense has struggled recently, scoring only eight runs and averaging less than five hits during its losing streak, but the Dirtbags knocked 11 hits on Friday. McNeil led the way with four singles and Michael Hill added two hits, including a two-run triple. Continue reading
CBD Photo Gallery: Dirtbags Snap 6-Game Skid, Beat Shockers 4-1
LONG BEACH, Calif. — Jeff McNeil woke up the comatose Long Beach State offense with a four-hit performance, including driving in the tying and winning runs. The Dirtbags (7-11) snapped a six-game losing streak, beating Wichita State 4-1 Friday night at Blair Field.
During the losing streak, Long Beach had averaged less than five hits per game and had scored only eight runs in six games. On Friday, the Dirtbags were able to get runners on, but couldn't get the big hit early, stranding seven runners in the first three innings.
McNeil singled up the middle to score Jonathan Serven in the sixth inning tying the game 1-1 and then provided the go-ahead RBI two innings later when he rolled one through the right side allowing Zack Rivera to score. Michael Hill followed McNeil with a two-run triple down the right field line to give the Dirtbags a pair of insurance runs.
Those insurance runs provided a measure of comfort even when Wichita State was able to load the bases with one out in the ninth inning. Newly appointed closer Jon Maciel got out of the jam with a strikeout and a slow roller to second base to end the game and pick up his second save.
Long Beach starting pitcher Shane Carle had his best outing of the season. He threw seven innings, allowing only three hits and an unearned run while striking out seven, but he did not factor into the decision. Josh Frye (1-1) picked up the win after a 1-2-3 eighth inning. Wichita State reliever Albert Minnis (1-1) took the loss.
Check out the 21-shot photo gallery from Friday night's tight ball game:

"We will have our work cut out for us starting with our very first series against Pittsburgh," Stephenson said. "Our early season schedule features many home games and we hope to get off to a good start, but the weather will be a factor. We have non-conference opponents that will test us and in our conference we have four home series this season and if we play well, we can compete for the league championship."

2012 CBD Season Preview: Missouri Valley Conference
In June of 2011, perennial baseball power Dallas Baptist University was granted a provisional season with the Missouri Valley Conference. In essence a year-long test run, the MVC was then planning to vote on DBU's membership after the duration of the season in May of 2012. While the movement to bring DBU—who made it all the way to the Super-Regionals last season before falling to Cal—was seen as an effort to boost the MVC's power ranking, it was also met by skepticism from some MVC teams citing travel time and costs as concerns. As a result, the Patriots were offered the provisional membership rather than acceptance in to the conference. Continue reading

After purchasing and installing an adobe typeface (Minion pro regular) I am able to use it in word but the quality is poor and pixellated when viewed up close. Adobe say it's installed correctly and that it's a microsoft issue. Is this so? Is there something I can do to increase the quality so that the font edges are smooth and legibility is increased? Please advise.
Much obliged,

Another one of my friends entered Heaven today, Dawn Frances Villegas.
It's difficult seeing my friends go, especially because I knew who they are, how they were, and how of a good bond we had together. Month after month, someone who made a big impact on my life has gone. I am still in the process of healing from my friend Lydia Sim's tragic murder, on April 2, and now, I lost another one on May 1. It is devastating seeing them go. But all I got to say is this: Thank you. Thank you for being a part of my life. Thank you for taking the time to get to know how I was and who I am. Thank you for being that smile that I see when I walked down the Hallways in High School. Thank you for those inspiring talks and laughs we shared. Thank you for all the love that you extended that now stays within us. You are now in heaven which is difficult for us to accept. But at the same time, it's the most beautiful thing that is non-existent on earth. Thank you, for all that you've done. You are very much appreciated from your friends, family and those who have known you. Thank you, for being you… Rest in paradise my loves <3 You will never be forgotten.

process of dealing with a disaster in a completely unobtrusive manner. Such data ought to form a basis for studies that will ultimately lead to improving the disaster management process, and it should be used to help evaluate new proposed technologies and methodologies. Centers should serve as repositories for these data.
Several research centers devoted to certain aspects of disaster management already exist. Some well-known centers are the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder; the Disaster Research Center at the University of Delaware, which investigates the social science aspects of disasters; the Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center at Texas A&M University; and Dartmouth College's Institute for Security Technology Studies.16
Such centers could provide the basis for a network of research centers where IT researchers, hazard and disaster researchers, and disaster management practitioners can collaborate to study and evaluate the use of IT for disaster management from both a technological and an organizational perspective; transition knowledge and technology to those who practice disaster management; build human capital at the intersection of IT and disaster management; and develop future IT capabilities.
Texas A&M University provides a Web site at http://archone.tamu.edu/hrrc/related-sites/Centers.html#Domestic with links to domestic and international disaster research centers. The Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder provides links to Web sites of U.S. and international organizations dealing with hazards and disasters, including academic research centers; see http://www.colorado.edu/hazards/resources/centers.

How To Troubleshoot Startup Problems in Windows 2k
 Loungers
This MSKB article talks about How To Troubleshoot Startup Problems in Windows 2000
But it does not mention anything about being able to startup your laptop, The laptop BIOS screen comes on, then the Windows 2000 logo comes on, and then the status bar goes all the way until the middle, the screen flickers, then the statusbar continues to the end, and then the laptop will reboot.
This goes on and on.
You can't do anything with the other boot options, Boot in safemode, last known good configuration...
I am not sure if viruses are an issue, I do have Norton AV updated, but you will never know. I am thinking it is a Windows startup problem.
What do you suggest?

Some of you enjoyed my Sharpie Art projects, so I thought I would share this crazy idea I had. To give the art work a 3-D effect I used a hot glue gun to give it dimension and interest. I then painted the background using watered down paint with a circular paint dobber. I went over the whole area, including the glue, but in the center for the gingko leaves I dipped the dobber in extra water to make it lighter. I then used a Marks-a-Lot marker over the hot glue areas. I found these markers work better than the Sharpies, as they leave a shinier finish. The end product almost looks like glass! Something out of the ordinary and unique. It's a super inexpensive project. Think outside of the box and give it try!

Since the Toronto Raptors bottomed out in the 2010-2011 NBA season with a record of 22-60, the team's winning percentage has improved every year. This past season was the first one since '06-'07 above .500, but at least the trend line in the dry seasons headed in the right direction, albeit with excruciating slowness.
Contrast that with the record of the Los Angeles Lakers. Since '06-'07, this team has won 2 titles, lost another in the finals, and always gone deep into the playoffs – until the '13-'14 season, when the music stopped abruptly. To my eyes, the Lakers are in considerable difficulty. They have committed several supertankers worth of money to their injured and aging superstar, Kobe Bryant, for two more seasons. Any other organization would have cold-heartedly said to Kobe "Thanks for the memories" and cut ties, but they have a fetish about superstars there, and can't imagine being without one. Steve Nash is owed some serious dough for another year. Whether he can drag his broken-down body onto the court, or be effective once he's there, is anyone's guess. Pau Gasol, who's hardly a spring chicken, may leave. The only player of any skill who's returning is Nick Young. It's highly probable the legendary Lakers are about to enter a multi-season down period, in which playoff games are a fading memory for Angelenos. If so, one wonders how much longer Mitch Kupchak can remain as GM. I can't imagine LA fans, or the Buss family, will tolerate another losing season without finding a scapegoat, and casting him out. The collective pressure forced the resignation of coach Mike D'Antoni, but no amount of brilliance with Xs and Os can fix a bad roster. The Lakers enjoy the #7 pick in next week's draft, which should provide them a solid player for the future, but they still appear miles away from playoff contention.
Which coach's name is inextricably linked with both the Lakers and New York Knicks? Phil Jackson, of course, who won 5 championships as Lakers' coach, and is now head honcho with the Knicks, for whom he once played. New York hoops fans, who should be used to interminable rebuilds by now (42 years and counting since their last championship), were bitterly disappointed by sliding from 54 to 37 wins last season. In retribution, coach Mike Woodson was thrown under the bus, but interfering owner James Dolan should have fired himself.
The Knicks have no first-round picks this year or in 2016 (oops!). Carmelo Anthony, a free agent actively being courted by sound squads like Chicago and Houston, may decide his desire to win outweighs his love of the Big Apple. That leaves a Knicks core of Andrea Bargnani, Amar'e Stoudamire and Raymond Felton. How in the world is Phil Jackson going to craft a winner out of that bunch?
Raptors fans know what rebuilding is like (think root canal, sans anaesthetic). We realized a price needed to be paid in losses, and it was. Now our patience and trust is about to be rewarded. We have a young, talented and relatively inexpensive team, and a battle-scarred coach to believe in. By contrast, Derek Fisher, who's never coached a game of hoops in his life, is the Knicks bench boss, and the Lakers don't have a coach at all. The NBA's marquee franchises in New York and L.A. are likely to endure several poor seasons. Will the fans and media in those cities allow management the time to draft and develop young players, or will they demand a fast rebuild? We in RaptorLand know which of those options works – and which doesn't.

Is what I've been asked, it's one of my bests mates birthday parties and his other half has asked me to bring my camera.
Thing is I just want to enjoy the party and a few beers and have a laugh. I don't want to feel like I'm on the outside looking in to get the shots, plus I don't want to be worrying about my camera gear getting beer on it etc.
I feel quite bad by forgetting to take it on purpose later, but on the other hand you wouldn't ask a plumber friend to come along a just fit a radiator whilst at the party would you.
I don't think for one second she has thought about it like I would or any other photographer would, she propbaly thinks oh it's only a few snaps, those few snaps suddenly become posed group and couple shots, a shot of this one of that etc etc....
Anyway I've had a moan, probably sound like a right grump now
I shall just take a compact instead as most people do at a party.
Compromise. I assume the party will last some hours so agree with your friend that you will take pics for, say the first hour, then after that you are just another guest enjoying yourself.Last Modified By saltireblue at 30 Jun 2012 - 4:16 PM
Tottally understand stu, when im away at weekends taking my 5d to the partys and beertents when the public has gone home spoils it for me as its a time I want to enjoy for me. But dont want to miss the same for the facebook pages after the event hense the reason i was after a new compact the other week now carry it even when ive got the 5d with me and been quite usefull, 16m pixel raw so crosses the gap quite well, infact the compact images got published last week lol
As Kev suggests - take your compact. I often find at these events I want to take some pic's for myself anyway - having the compact helps in these situations. Tell your friends other half what you plan on doing and why. I suspect she'll get it and feel no animosity.
That's what I plan to do, I shall take the wifes compact and use that.
I just can't switch off if I have my Dslr with me and tend to only see everything through the viewfinder.
I would much rather have a glass in my hand with a beer in it
Quote: I feel quite bad by forgetting to take it on purpose later, but on the other hand you wouldn't ask a plumber friend to come along a just fit a radiator whilst at the party would you.
If you do photography for a living as it appears, you have a ready made excuse. I used to tell everyone who asked that if I were asked to take pictures, it became a professional job for me and not a social occasion.
My sister asked me to take pictures at her wedding and I said the same thing. There's no need to feel guilty. It is perfectly reasonable. If someone doesn't see your point of view and gets shirty it more or less shows that they wouldn't have invited you except they wanted some pictures taken.

Buffalo (WKBW) A lack of scoring, and late penalties hurt the Buffalo Sabres again as they lost 3-1 to the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night.
Montreal scored a pair of power play goals. David Desharnais scored the eventual game winner at 13:44 of the second period with the man advantage. His second goal of the year gave the Canadiens a 2-0 lead. Matt Moulson would cut that lead in half for the Sabres. Moulson scored Buffalo's lone goal off a pass from Drew Stafford at 17:30 of the second.
The Sabres washed away late chances to tie it with a pair of third period penalties. Tyler Myers took a questionable boarding call at 11:17 of the third. Tyler Ennis was called for interference at 17:02 of the third. Montreal put the game away on the resulting power play when Brendan Gallagher beat Ryan Miller for the 3-1 lead at 18:16.
Alex Galchenyuk opened the scoring for Montreal. The Sabres host Toronto on Friday.

Whilemshopping and want something good but different this can fit the bill .mgreat quality,do not know how they do so called fast food so great but they surely do every time
I eat here almost every day. There crew is made up of amazing people. They have the best service and best burgers in the mall. The gyros are to die for. Yumm
I stopped by Cheyenne on my way back from Mount Everest. Great little fast food restaurant in the mall. Prices were decent and the food was very good. The best was their fries. They cooked the food really quick and it was delicious. The three of us ate for under $21!
continue to go here since it is the only place so far I have found that serves Greek food. A little pricey but I dont mind. Fries and cheese sticks are usually overcooked.
Love these Gyros! They are the Best in Cheyenne. I "brave" going to the mall to eat at Renzio's!
I've tried Gyro's at other places but Renzio's ROCKS the Gyro! Is it the cucumber sauce and feta that makes em so tasty?
This is one of my favorite places to go for lunch. The gyros here taste great, are decently priced, and offer nice portion sizes. Definitely recommend!
This is so good food an it's a great price. Every time I come to cheyenne I go an get one. I would like for them to add a type of spice to them though just to give it a kick.
Mom and I checked out Renzio's inside Frontier Mall in Cheyenne today. We heard that they had great burgers and fries for $5; so we decided to try it. I had to forgo to fries and went for the deep fried mushrooms instead ($1 extra). Mom had deep fried zucchini (also $1 extra). The food was surprisingly good. The service...
get that craving for falafel every now and then and this is the only place in town that has it. does a huge business with the local high school crowd so give yourself a couple of extra minutes if you go for lunch.
I never tried a REAL Gyro until 2 years ago and I am now a Renzio's addict. We have another Greek restaurant in Cheyenne but it just doesn't come close to Renzio's as far as taste! The Gyros with feta - Oh My, and the Fries with that crunchy stuff on em - Yum!
