This explanation was taken from the reasoning book, page 204.
How do Jehovah's Witnesses arrive at their explanation of the Bible?
A key factor is that the Witnesses really believe that the Bible is God's Word and that what it contains is there for our instruction. (2 Tim. 3:16, 17; Rom. 15:4; 1 Cor. 10:11) So they do not resort to philosophical arguments to evade its clear statements of truth or to justify the way of life of people who have abandoned its moral standards.
In pointing out the meaning of symbolic language in the Bible, they let the Bible provide its own explanation, instead of giving their theories as to its significance. (1 Cor. 2:13) Indications as to the meaning of symbolic terms are usually found in other parts of the Bible. (As an example, see Revelation 21:1; then, regarding the meaning of "sea," read Isaiah 57:20. To identify "the Lamb" referred to in Revelation 14:1, see John 1:29 and 1 Peter 1:19.)
As for fulfillment of prophecy, they apply what Jesus said about being alert to events that correspond to what was foretold. (Luke 21:29-31; compare 2 Peter 1:16-19.) Conscientiously they point out those events and draw attention to what the Bible indicates they mean.
Jesus said that he would have on earth a "faithful and discreet slave" (his anointed followers viewed as a group), through which agency he would provide spiritual food to those making up the household of faith. (Matt. 24:45-47) Jehovah's Witnesses recognize that arrangement. As was true of first-century Christians, they look to the governing body of that "slave" class to resolve difficult questions—not on the basis of human wisdom, but by drawing on their knowledge of God's Word and his dealings with his servants, and with the help of God's spirit, for which they earnestly pray.—Acts 15:1-29; 16:4, 5.

When I began to have doubts of the understanding JWs have of the Bible and the scripture at Matthew 24:45 I voiced my concern. OK. But everyone who I tried to warn would say look up (whatever) the Governing Body deems necessary to know, and you will understand. Say WHAT? Let's try this from a different angle. I don't trust them! Answer? Did you read the Proclaimers Book? Ya, but, it's them who wrote it. Thus it was really me who also thought OMG Borg.
ps I know it wasn't me who first called the The Borg. And I had come to my conclusions about their error before I ever saw an opposing web sight.

Well, there's a problem right there. Christ is the Word of God. Not the bible.
But in any case, the witnesses do not allow the Bible to provide its own e x planation. Or they would never have come up with Jesus being the Archangel Michael. They have come up with a 'theory' to assert that (as well as other things) There is even less 'evidence' as to that, as there is to Jesus is God.

1.Maria, wife of Pastor Russell, came up with the Faithful and Discreet Slave nonsense which proved useful to her husband, but, extremely useful to Judge Rutherford.
2.The bogus belief that it was God's "due time" has had proven results: all of them contradicting what JW's warned of in advance.
3.Cherry picking, partial quotes, context dropping, quote mining, exaggeration and misdirection are the foundational strategies.
In the 15 July 1906 issue of the Watch Tower Russell stated that Maria was the first who in 1894 "called attention to Matt. 24:44-45, applying it to me at a meeting at Allegheny and in another meeting with the New York Church. I demurred that I had not thought of the passage thus, and declined to make any personal application of it, although I could not deny the force of the argument....I urged great moderation in the making of any personal application" (p. R3811). Yet in the same issue Russell declares himself (with professed humility) to be "God's mouthpiece" with the unique role of disseminating God's truths as his "agent":

He is alive in Spirit, for one. He is with His Father. He is with those who belong to Him (as part of his body) as well. He listens; speaks; teaches; mediates ("No one comes to the Father, e x cept through the Son"); guides.

Mankelli, even the bible says that Christ is the Word of God. It does not say that about itself.

tec - Your explanation is confusing, how could christ be with the father and at thesame time be with those who belong to him?. That sounds philsophical

Through the spirit. If we have part of that spirit (if the spirit dwells within us), then we are connected. One.
Besides, sometimes I am with my husband. Sometimes I am with my son. Sometimes I am with co-workers. Just not necessarily at the same time. Although, if we're all on the internet talking, then we're together and apart at the same time.

If Christ was only a human being with only a human nature, then that question would be meaningful. But Christ is a spiritual being with a divine nature, existing beyond the realm that we call space and time. He is simultaneously everywhere, while being no place in particular. The divine is not part of the universe; the universe is part of the divine. Not only can Christ be with the Father and all who belong to him, from the Christian viewpoint it could be no other way!
(edited to quote Matthew 28:19-20)
"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."

Can it be that 2 John verse 7 means the resurrected Christ? The traditional interpretation and one that Jehovah's Witnesses teach is it means the man Jesus. The previous verse says "go on walking in the commandment" (of love). How? By the resurrected Christ. In spirit. His spirit with our flesh. How else would we know the will of God? Confessing Jaheshua coming in the flesh means knowing the way, because he is with us. In a sense in us. And if it is true, meaning the spirit, not the man, then they are the antichrist. Because we need Christ in us, they say no, Christ is over them, not in them.

How do Jehovah's Witnesses arrive at their explanation of the Bible?
The same way every other religious sect does , whatever interpretation they want to use to self identify and apply to themselves.
The Jehovah's Witnesses are not what they have self described themselves to be, rather they are in reality witnesses
and subjective proclaimers of the Watchtower Corporation's own doctrines, there is a defining difference.
The JWS have been indoctrinated by a publishing house (WTS.) by extrapolating certain selectively chosen scriptures and by exploiting
and commercialize them to meet their means as well to purposely cultivate a following upon those doctrines and exploit lured individuals
as well. Its kind of a cant fail strategy to take on for a publishing house. Cultivate your following on fear and ignorance and present
yourself as the only means to save oneself from your own personal destruction and Wallah you have an organized religion.
Pretentiously false and assuringly instigated by a publishing house, self supporting and self serving for its own standing benefit.

How do JWs arrive at their explanation of the Bible?
They believe whatever the GB tells them and change their explanations whenever the GB changes theirs.
Maybe the question should be, "How does the GB arrive at its explanation of the Bible?"
In a lot of ways, they select a couple of key proof-texts, such as the part of Ecclesiastes 9:5 that says "the dead are conscious of nothing." They take this as an absolute teaching on what happens after death and any other scriptures must then be interpreted according to what they already concluded from that partial verse. Thus, Jesus' story about the rich man and Lazarus becomes a convoluted parable about Jehovah's Witnesses which isn't talking about what happens after death at all.
This example also highlights another aspect of GB Bible interpretation -- they see everything in the Bible as having some latter day fulfillment that centers on the role of the GB and of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. In other words, it's all about THEM and their importance.

Right. SURE. And this is how we know that the seven trumpet blasts were fulfilled by some JW convention in the midwest that nobody alive today had been to or even ever heard of.

Capisic Street reopens following water main break
Updated On: Jun 16 2013 07:15:50 PM EDT
Officials in Portland said Capisic Street between Colonial Road and Lucas Street reopened Sunday evening.
Michelle Clements, spokesperson for the Portland Water District, said the break at 311 Capisic St. was reported by police around noon. About 20 houses were without water until the repairs were completed at about 3:30 p.m. and service was restored, Clements said.
Authorities said it would take a few hours to repair the road, and they will be back Monday to pave the roadway. No cause has been given for the break.

Policy Note
Bangkok, March 21, 2012 --Ornicha Tantiwechwuttikul, who is finishing her final term in university, will be among Thailand's thousands who are looking for a job this year. She will have a degree in Economics but is also armed with on-the-job training experience and practical skills from extra classes she has taken on the side of her core curricula.
"What I learn from university is very theoretical. So I also took classes in marketing and finance, which is more practical. I'd even consider going to the free talks offered by the Stock Exchange of Thailand. All of these are directly related to and will help me get the job I want after I graduate- either in a marketing company or in a bank," she says.
By building their skills, Thai students like Ornicha are giving themselves an edge in the job market. Thailand has recognized the role a good education plays in matching the skills of the labor force with those required by employers. It implemented National Education Reform plans to modernize the system since 1999.
"The Government is rightly placing human capital at the center of its growth strategy. Enhancing work skills and increasing innovation is part of the country's strategy to move to a more creative economy. This will produce higher incomes and reduce poverty," says Hana Brixi, Senior Economist and lead author of the World Bank's Leading with Ideas: Skills for Growth and Equity in Thailand report.
She adds: "Thailand is a good place to do business- it has quality infrastructure and is attractive to investors. However, countries that can only offer multinational partners a cheap and disciplined workforce will be overtaken by those that have better-educated and trained workers. Skills shortages have become Thailand's biggest obstacle to doing business,"
The World Bank is supporting the National Economic and Social Board of Thailand by looking at possible solutions for improving workforce skills and innovation.
"I was an exchange student in the United States last year and noticed that students there are better at critical-thinking. They are more open with their ideas, they don't necessarily accept what teachers say right away, they dare to challenge them too. We (Thai students) tend to lack analytical skills. I think it comes from the kind of education we've been receiving since primary school--- we are not trained to think more creatively," says Ms. Tantiwechwuttikul.
Since teacher quality is crucial, the best students can be encouraged to join the profession. Offering more scholarships may encourage top students to take on a teaching job.
Improving the quality of primary and secondary education in disadvantaged communities will also add to Thailand's number of strong performers. It will widen the pool of candidates for university to those who live beyond Bangkok.

Duff Goldman / Ace of Cakes / Godiva
Posted on 30. Aug, 2012 in Chefs, Dessert, Los Angeles, Owners, Pastry Chefs
Ace of Cakes is an American reality television show which aired on the Food Network. The show focused on the daily operations of Duff Goldman's custom cake shop, Charm City Cakes, in Baltimore, Maryland; including small-business ownership, working with various vendors, tasting with customers, constructing cakes, and delivering his products.
About Duff Goldman
Meet Chef Duff. Shaping cakes with drill saws and blowtorches, and staffing his bakery with fellow rock musicians, he's not your typical baker. However, he's one of the most sought-after decorative cake makers in the country. Every week at Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, Duff and his team of artists try to meet the demands of creating up to 20 cakes a week, some of which take up to 29 hours to build! From a tilted Dr. Seuss-like seven-tiered wedding cake to an almost perfect replica of Wrigley Field, Duff can build it. Go behind the scenes to see how he and his fellow cake bakers dish up sugar and spice in the most unexpected and entertaining ways.

"They're all smart," the Oscar winner told People.com at Fox's Fall Eco-Casino Party in L.A. "Shiloh, oh boy, she's a smart one, but she's four years old, you can never tell what she does, her face lights up."
Voight -- who recently reconciled with Jolie after being estranged from her for years -- says he often keeps in touch with his family via Skype. Voight says he's trying to get the technological communication down, but sometimes there are glitches. "Maddox says 'okay' – he writes me back 'okay' and then I can't get it, but I've been away from my computer so I couldn't get back to him," Voight explains.
But the actor almost had a glitch himself when trying to remember all the kids' names! "I gotta get all their names, because you can't cheat and I'm not going to," he said. "Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne, they're all very smart kids, beautiful too."
Voight is currently busy promoting his new television show Lone Star. (Though it got the stamp of approval from Jolie, the actor says his young grandkids probably won't "be that interested in it.") But the proud gramps says he's looking forward to seeing the Jolie and Brad Pitt's little ones in person soon. "What's better than that?" he asked.
Do you think Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie have completely mended their relationship? Chime in below!

D. Needell, M.D.
Boca Radiology Group, P.A.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been shown to outperform conventional radiography for detection of marginal erosions in inflammatory arthropathies (1-5). Early detection and staging of rheumatoid arthritis appears to have significant prognostic implications with disease progression (6-9), and MRI has the potential to become a powerful tool in guiding therapeutic options. Distinguishing small cortical marginal erosions (Fig A) from variant bone anatomy presents one of the most challenging aspects of accurately diagnosing joint erosions by MRI.
Evaluating the metacarpal and carpal bones is challenging because their curved surfaces contain numerous invaginations with regions of synovial infolding. Thin section (1mm or less) MR images are extremely useful in minimizing volume averaging (Figs B,C). Volume averaging results in misrepresentation of anatomy or signal intensity because of adjacent structures blending together in one image. As slice thickness decreases, so do the chances of misinterpreting a lesion due to volume averaging artifact.
GE's Applause (a.k.a. MagneVu MRI) is a portable, in-office MRI machine with protocols tailored for optimal visualization of erosions in the hands, wrist, and feet. The protocols produce small field of view, thin section microanatomy of cortical bone using 3D volume T1-weighted and STIR sequences, which have been demonstrated in the literature to be highly sensitive and specific for detection and characterization of cortical erosions (10-14). 3D T1 and corresponding STIR sequence produce images between 0.6 mm and 1 mm (Figs C,D) which allows more reliable characterization of small erosions than protocols using slices 2 or 3 mm slice thickness, which are more susceptible to volume averaging artifact.
Assessing the chronicity or acuity of an erosion is a valuable tool in staging disease and can assist in guiding therapeutic decisions (6-9). T1W images excel at visualizing bone anatomy and have been shown to be a sensitive sequence for detecting the presence of subacute and chronic erosions. STIR images are the most sensitive sequence for detecting bone marrow edema associated with acute erosions (10-14). Subacute and chronic erosions erosions appear similar in signal intensity on T1W images. On the thin section STIR sequence, subacute erosions are brighter than capsular and synovial tissue (Fig E) and chronic "burned out" erosions appear dark. The thin section STIR sequence is therefore a critical sequence in differentiating subacute from chronic erosions.
In conclusion, the ability to reliably detect and characterize early erosions in rheumatoid arthritis appears to be an effective way of staging disease and planning therapeutic intervention. Thin section (1mm or less) MRI sequences minimize volume averaging which increases specificity of erosion detection. Using a corresponding thin section 3D STIR sequence is an important adjunct to minimize volume averaging artifact and allow effective staging of the chronicity of erosions in rheumatoid arthritis.
Fig A. Erosions along dorsal capsule within lunate and capitate. Note the erosions are brighter in signal than capsular soft tissue. Without thin sections, it is difficult to differentiate such erosions from the joint capsule.
|Fig B. Thin sections of wrist reveal well defined tunnel erosions along the capsular margin of lunate and triquetrum. Thin section T1W and STIR sequences allow differentiation of these erosions from capsular infolding.
|Fig C. Images of wrist reveal apparent excavation within the capitate on T1W, however the corresponding thin section STIR images reveal this defect to be low intensity, indicating it represents normal variation in bone contour.
|Fig D. Images of hand reveal bright STIR signal in 3rd metacarpal. When analyzing thin sections before and after this cut, this signal is seen to represent focal synovial/capsular infolding rather than an erosion. Corrobative findings include a thin, low intensity capsule without evidence of thickening or synovitis.
|Fig. E. Imaging of the hand reveals a scoop erosion in the radial side of the 3rd metacarpal head. STIR images confirm the presence of this erosion. Bright STIR signal suggests its subacute nature.

Reading through this thread (DirSync without Coexistence? [SOLVED] | Directory integration services | Microsoft Office 365 Community), what you've described is expected behaviour for DirSync when you have on-premises Exchange. The presence of the msExchMailboxGuid is synced to Azure and Office 365 won't create new mailboxes for accounts that have it.
The workaround appears to be to start again by turning off DirSync, deleting the synced users, and provisioning them manually (or using CSV upload). Once you've given them an Exchange licence in O365 you can then turn DirSync back on and their on-premises accounts will be soft-matched to the pre-created O365 account. See the verified answer by TSmith on the above thread.

HTC Wind T328w Dual SIM Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich Phone Debuts In China
HTC has just released their latest mid-range phone, the HTC Wind T328w Android mobile phone with Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3 operating system) in China and its primary selling point is that it comes with dual-SIM capability which is already a standard feature in other phone models like MasDroid Android Phone. While there are several local Chinese brands already offering the same feature, HTC's Wind T328w android phone has higher quality hardware components and better performance.
While other Chinese dual-SIM Android phones are still stuck at Android 2.3, the HTC Wind T328w already boasts of its latest Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich OS just like in HTC One X Quad Core. This is because it comes with a fast 1GHz Qualcomm MSM7227 processor and a large 512MB of DDR3 RAM. The Wind T328w also comes with a decent 4GB of internal flash storage.
Other notable features are that this phone has a multi-touch capacitive 3.7-inch 800 x 480 screen, Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0, microSD card slot. Wi-Fi b/g/n, Beats Audio, and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus and LED flash.
As for aesthetics, the HTC Wind 328w looks like the HTC Desire HD. It is quite thin at 9.33 mm and very light, weighing just 114 grams including the battery. The 1650 mAh Lithium-Ion battery of the HTC Wind 328w Android smartphone is rated to last up to 8 hours of talk time, quite an improvement over earlier phone specs like HTC Wildfire.
HTC is selling the Wind T328w in China for 1,999 Yuan or around $310 in the US. It is available in different colors like silver, blue, black, red, pink, and yellow.

Ten-man Wells visited OWCC and lost the toss, but the home side, who chose to bat, slipped to 25-2 before Pasan Weeraratne (118) rescued his side almost single-handedly. Despite wickets steadily falling at the other end, Weeraratne ploughed on to his century (18 fours and 1 six) out of 192-5, and ensured at least a competitive total, although the visiting attack continued to take wickets to the very end.
Chris Courtney (4-39) and Jan Ball (3-55) kept Wells in the hunt, and Wilsonians managed to bring the total up to 230-8 as the overs ran out. Without their centurion, the home score would have been in great disarray, as the next-best effort was just 25 from opener Rahul Malik.
Wells found the going tough against Suminda Balage Don (4-46), only Tim Luckhurst (32) showing that survival was possible, but his dismissal at 51-2 heralded a steady procession apart from a great effort from Makarand Malandkar (68 with 8 fours) which kept the result in doubt for a considerable time. Given almost no support, Malandkar kept the score moving along, and saw the total up to 134-8 before Michael Mitchell (3-21) brought matters to a close at 136. The 94-run defeat was enough to send OWCC to the top of the table, one point clear of their rivals from Betteshanger, and the Championship Title for 2009.
For Wells, the climb back to KL Status begins afresh for 2010.
Wells took first knock on a baked track on the Upper Ground, but soon faltered as two good wickets were lost while the score reached 28. Tom Spurling (33) made headway but he, too, lost his wicket in an unreal phase that saw the middle order fall away with Matt Freedman (4-24) breaking the back of the innings.
After 28 overs, the home scoreline showed a sorry 82-6, but Ben Watts now stood firm in order to fashion a recovery of sorts. Giles Randle (21) showed brief resistance, but the tail otherwise gave little support, and Watts' gallant effort ended undefeated on 45 (six fours and one six) as the innings struggled on to an all-out 135 with eleven overs unused. Just how much a few extra runs would matter was demonstrated in the Farningham reply.
The chase also suffered early setbacks as Randle (2-15) broke back, and, at 29-3, the Wells attack had reason to be optimistic. Some short and wide bowling then provided the visitors with the chance to rapidly advance, and James Wiles (45) took full advantage, with assistance from Freedman (37) to drive the score on to 101-4. Wells now fought back into the game, and chipped away with four wickets coming as the scores finally drew level. The two bowlers now held their lines, the experienced Mark Thompson, in harness with young Michael Dowding (1-19), were allowed several overs before the winning run, a leg-bye, was scrambled. Farningham narrowly got home with two wickets in hand, and Wells were left with just four points from the match.
The long battle to stay in the KL was finally decided at The Upper Nevill, but Wells set up the game only to finally lose control of events in the second dig, as the Chislehurst batsmen romped home in the face of a strong target total.
Victory was the sole objective for the home XI, and they proceeded to put together a safe score as James Sharp crowned a fine year with a League century to bind together the Wells effort. Tom Spurling, with an aggressive vignette of 47, opened up with Sharp as 93 runs were made before the first wicket was taken, and the later batsmen supported Sharp as his epic innings grew. Ben Allatt helped to add 46 for the third stand, and Makarand Malandkar (23) assisted as 53 runs came for the sixth partnership, and this proved to be the final success for the visiting attack. Sharp batted throughout the innings, carrying his bat for 113*, which included 15 fours and two sixes, from 151 balls of determined resistance, and his work ensured that his side was well-placed at 257-6 as the overs ran out.
The reply was set alight by a 51-ball century from Sandun Dias (11 fours and 6 sixes), whose dismissal at 140-3 was the highpoint for Wells. Hetti Rajapasha (52) took over, and received solid assistance as the target was approached. Giles Randle (2-52) and Stefan Grosvenor (2-47) wheeled away manfully, and a final burst of 3-24 from Ben Watts gave Chislehurst several nervous moments, but the momentum had been established, and the visitors moved past the required total with eight overs and three wickets in hand. Daniel Taylor (33*) saw to the last rites, and the final 48 runs were managed at a gallop.
The XI face Farningham on BH Monday, and, with the relegation issue settled, can simply enjoy themselves in the final couple of matches.
TWCC Score
Farningham elected to bat first, but suffered a triple blow as Wells reduced the score to 22-3 after all but five overs, Giles Randle having captured all three wickets to fall.
Neal Pittman (47) and Mark Allison (36) began the recovery as 55 runs were added for the fourth wicket, but Steve Green (3-42) and Michael Churchill (2-37) brought the score to a low-point of 125-8, Randle having collected 4-39. A further spell of resistance from Oliver Powell and skipper Graham Cuthbertson dragged the total up to 175 all out.
The Wells chase featured a solid opening stand of 41 between Tim Luckhurst and Paddy Fyson, but the home attack now put in a decisive spell which resulted in the score crashing to a near-terminal 92-7. Spin was the catalyst as Pittman (4-15) and John Collins (5-27) wreaked havoc with the line-up. Makarand Malandkar and Randle offered brief resistance to the collapse, but the forlorn middle order effort could not be restored. Some fine groundwork and smart catching characterised the home performance, albeit on a helpful surface, and the Wells innings ended sixtyfive runs short at 110 with more than twenty overs unused.
The game-in-hand may help to mitigate this situation, but victory now in the remaining three matches must be the call if relegation can be avoided, while other results must now assist.
Wells were put in to bat at Radfield Hill, and were indebted to the experience and skill of Tim Luckhurst as they posted a substantial total that would test the home side.
Luckhurst stroked eleven fours and one six in a pedigree effort of 92, around which the innings was based, and support came down the list, with Sam Watts (20) best of the lower order. Two early run-outs did not help, but, on a nigh-perfect batting surface, Wells hauled in the maximum batting points while losing only seven wickets, and set Bapchild to make 234 for victory at the end of the 50 overs.
The reply was sent tumbling as four wickets fell while the score rose into the seventies, Brendon Daly netting two of these, but skipper Ben Fulton was in the form of his life in a prolific season, and had withstood these setbacks. Slowly but surely, Fulton turned the match about, finding staunch support in number six John Heatley (46*), and, ever-accelerating, scorched his way to a sensational century, and a victory without further loss, much to the chagrin of the Wells XI. Fulton carried out his bat for an epic 143* (13 fours and two sixes), sending his 2009 aggregate up to 766 at an average of 95, and bringing home the points by a margin of six wickets as the fifth partnership held through to the very end. Daly and Michael Churchill strove courageously to contain the long fifth stand, while Mark Thompson and Giles Randle gave assistance, but the day belonged to the Bapchild XI.
Wells have four matches remaining from which to drag themselves out of the dropzone and into the safety of the middle table, and will need to demonstrate the killer instinct to turn promising positions into wins in order to survive. The Bank Holiday match assumes renewed importance as a consequence.
A truly immense game, bottom-of the-table plays top-of-the-table, saw Wells prevail by the narrowest margin as they effectively stalled Blackheath's Championship aspirations.
The game started with the visitors posting 84 for the opening partnership as Vijay Seevaratnam (43) and Steve Turner (36) made solid headway during the first 23 overs. The Wells attack, led by Oli Reynolds (4-45) broke back to reduce the innings to 121-7 before a late recovery dragged the score up to 181-9 as the overs ran out. Chris Brassington (32*) directed the tail-end rescue, assisted by 'keeper Terry Stark, while Mark Thompson (3-42) and debutant Brendon Daly (2-55) kept the home attack in the hunt.
The reply tottered to an uninspired 46-5 before Sam Watts showed the spirit to change the game with a resolute and courageous 64 (11 fours) despite the nagging inroads worked by Brassington (3-59) and Daniel Carter (4-33). Watts added 101 for the sixth wicket with Jan Ball (35) in a match-turning effort lasting through seventeen overs, yet, despite these heroics, 36 runs were still needed from little more than ten overs with just three wickets standing. Daly added a vital 16 before man-of-the-moment Michael Churchill saw his side through with the last man at the wicket, taking out his bat for a doughty and nerveless 28 (four fours and one six) as Wells crept past the target total to win by one wicket.
This was an amazing match with many incidents, but played out in great spirit : the result enabled the Wells XI to lift themselves from the foot of the table for the first time in 2009, and, with the game-in-hand, to finally see the possibility of League survival. For Blackheath, the tilt at the Championship remains open, and the run-in promises much good cricket from both sides. For Wells, Watts and Churchill will long rememember the encounter and the parts they played in a splendid team effort.
Wells won the toss, and asked the visitors to bat, there being likely movement for the predominantly seam attack after the rains in the week.
The track indeed proved to be helpful to the bowlers, and Betteshanger slipped to 81-5 as Ben Watts (3-23) showed fine form. Gareth Leese (4-18), on a rare return visit to the Club, was very impressive, but the good work was somewhat undone as the lower order rallied when 53 runs came from the seventh stand. Jamie Towe (37) marshalled the recovery, which was snuffed out when Mark Thompson (2-34) ended the resistance at 171.
The chase moved unsteadily to 41-2, and several batsmen made starts, only to be removed when seemingly set for better things. Michael McNicholas (4-44) played a pivotal part in the Betteshanger fightback, and all looked to be over as Wells subsided to 114-8. Thompson (28*) now joined Giles Randle to put up a gallant 37-run ninth partnership, but too much had been left to be done, and the visitors snatched a closely contested 19-run win with just three overs remaining.
Still languishing at the foot of the table, the result was a jolt to the recent form shown by the XI, and the chances of survival suffered a setback which can only be overcome by further successes.
Offham chose to bat first on their home ground, and all seemed to be going well as the score moved serenely to 88-1 after 19 overs, with skipper Graham Razey (35) well-set after Tom Gittings (38) had led off solidly.
The Wells attack now took charge of the game, and breakthroughs came at just the right times to prevent the match slipping away, as the total was exactly doubled for the loss of the remaining wickets. Caspian Paget (3-16) was the catalyst, with great support coming from Chris Courtney (3-41) and Rob Sharma (2-53). Adam Kent (26*) tried desperately to restore the balance of the innings, but the visiting bowlers were not to be thwarted, the target total emerging as 177 to win after 47.2 overs. This was a vital chance for Wells, who again had to chase the runs in order to gain a much-needed second victory.
The reply featured a splendid knock of 41 from James Sharp, who posted 48 with Stefan Grosvenor for the opening stand, yet the home attack took three major wickets as the score stuttered to 116, before returning skipper BJ Allatt played a decisive innings to see his side home. Allatt anchored the faltering chase with a resolute undefeated 52 which brought in the 16 points, as Wells passed the home score with five wickets down and just nine balls remaining. Sam Watts (33) had played a significant role in the earlier play, while Makarand Malandkar (20) added 49 with Allatt in the dying overs. A fine team effort was thus handsomely rewarded as the side set out to restore their fortunes in the recently-reached KL Fifth Division, with a game-in-hand to potentially assist in August.
Wells are now fighting back from the dismal start to the campaign, and the newly-found winning habit will need to be continued as the great escape is founded. The confidence within the XI gives good reason to suppose that this can be accomplished.
A delay to the start, caused by incomplete pitch readiness, reduced the match format to 92 overs, and a sensational game was played out, which ebbed and flowed throughout, being crowned by a virtuoso innings from the returning Rob Sharma, who saw his side home with just five balls to spare.
New skipper Mark Thompson inspired his team from the start, knowing that a win was imperative, and put in Macknade upon winning the toss. Giles Randle and Sharma quickly reduced the innings to 48-3, but a captain's knock from Steve Taylor (87) gave evidence of a long batting line-up as the rescue was effected. 74 runs then came with Scott Davenport for the fourth stand, and the lower order further assisted Taylor before Wells fought back. Thompson himself (3-41) led the way, and 155-4 was held to 202-8 as the overs ended. This was a splendid turn-about for Wells, and now their batsmen had work to do.
The reply stuttered to an unconvincing 106-6 after 30 overs, but Sharma was ominously still undefeated on 33, and at length a steady partner was found in Randle as these two set about the victory charge. 97 were needed from 96 balls, and the visiting bowlers had every reason to be optimistic, yet gradually the partnership flourished. Sharma moved effortlessly to 50 in a blitz of boundaries, but the battling attack had narrowed the equation to 71 from six overs. Sharma now seized the initiative and took 22 from the 41st over, followed by 21 in the 43rd, and suddenly 24 from 18 was the requirement. Sharma's maiden League century came with his fourth six, and the last over arrived with just six to get, and the first ball was despatched over the fence for a wonderful win from a great chase. Randle had stayed throughout for an unbeaten 16, and a new Club seventh partnership of 97* was created as the game ended on a high note for the home XI.
Sharma's remarkable run-a-ball not out 112 contained 13 fours and five sixes.
16 points were the reward for these heroics, but the team must repeat the dose several times before safety in the Division is guaranteed. Nonetheless, the start has been made.
The visiting batsmen enjoyed nigh-on perfect batting conditions after winning the toss and choosing to bat, although Wells did manage two early wickets at the outset.
From 56-2, Old Wilsonians pulled away in prolific fashion as Suminda Balage Don (59) partnered Pasan Weeraratne in adding over 160 runs for the third stand. The full range of the Wells attack was put to the sword, and the short upper boundary was particularly favoured. Eleven sixes and 13 fours were crashed in all, and a formidable total was the consequence. Weeraratne moved serenely to a dominating 152 before veteran Paddy Phelan had him well caught, but the Wells groundwork wilted during the inevitable leather-chasing, with several chances being floored. The final overs saw the total raised to 299-4 and a declaration set a daunting target in 56 possible overs.
The reply featured fighting efforts from skipper BJ Allatt (45) and Makarand Malandkar (49), with a pathfinding 86 from Sam Watts, and for much of the available time the chase posed a grave threat. Watts was finally run-out, and the innings lost momentum with Michael Mitchell and Balage Don taking full advantage. At one point the score stood at 242-5 from 41 overs, but this proved to be a high-point as the innings tumbled to 260 all out after 47.
The defeat completed a dismal run in 2009, but little dishonour attached to the effort, for, with just a little more overall application, the game might well have had a different outcome.
The home side took first knock in great heat and humidity after winning the toss, and, only towards the latter stages pressed home their advantage as the Wells attack strove manfully to contain them.
An early wicket slowed the progress at the outset, but Sandun Dias (52) received solid assistance as the score moved to the hundred mark with three down, and the tussle became tense as Mark Thompson (3-58) put in a destructive second spell to reduce the effort to 155-6. The home innings was boosted by a hard-hit 60 from Paul Crowdy, and only the veteran Paddy Phelan (2-40) was able to control the late batsmen as the score was taken to 248-8 at the cut-off.
The reply was hit by a violent downpour, although play was continued in dreadful conditions for some while. The Wells batsmen managed to reach 153-5 before the match was discontinued, James Sharp and Oli Reynolds being seen to advantage. Dias (4-70) was the most effective home bowler.
Thus the points were shared in an incomplete game, and Wells took their first proper haul of the season, having required a bat-second win to stay apace of their requirements, but, with a game in hand, can only get better in the final matches as they attempt to retain their newly-gained status in the Kent League.
There being no accompanying Umpire, Wells forfeited the toss, and had to bat first on an unsatisfactory surface made awkward after the recent rainfall.
Unsurprisingly, although James Sharp played well for a brief time, the innings was never able to make headway against tight bowling that was accurately directed. Daniel Carter (4-10) ripped out the early order, aided by James Martin (3-10), and there was no recovery despite a lone double-figure score from Michael Churchill (17) as the innings subsided to an all-out 55 from just 22.1 overs.
The reply suffered an early setback, but, with so little to defend, the Wells attack was quickly dealt with, skipper Hamish Purdy and Steve Turner adding a quickfire undefeated 57 to win the game. The chase required just over eleven overs to wrap up matters, the whole game occupying little more than two hours of play. The visitors remain firmly at the bottom of the table as a result of this reverse.
After a late start occasioned by the visitors becoming snarled up in the local traffic, Wells won the toss and batted on a track that progressively became better and better.
Some initial movement gave the attack two early breakthroughs, yet James Sharp and skipper Ben Allatt defied the demons in the wicket to add 57 runs for the third partnership. A mini-collapse then ensued, however a staunch and measured riposte from Elliott Hughes removed the threat of fiasco, as, with Wes Bryce-Borthwick (49), 102 runs were put together for the sixth stand. The consolidation was continued when Hughes was joined by Ben Watts, and an eventual target of 232 was set, after Hughes had taken out his bat for an heroic not out 77 (11 fours).
The reply was soon in trouble, and the Old Brocks early order slumped to 74-4 as Mark Thompson (2-54) took control. At last the batsmen showed resolve, and, aided by missed chances, Olly Barnes and Paul Reeves pulled away in a match-turning stand that realised 139 hard-fought runs for the fifth wicket. Reeves undertook the anchor role while Barnes lost no opportunity to accelerate, hitting up a daring 104 as the home attack wilted before the onslaught. Reeves (56*) saw to the win after Barnes departed at 213, while Wells, having done so much to set up the game, had the frustration of seeing their efforts again in vain.
The defeat left the XI firmly entrenched at the bottom of the table, and, despite the obvious strengths within the side, much to do to rise out of the doldrums.
Bapchild came to the Car Park Ground as much in need of points as were the home side, and, choosing to field upon winning the toss, made short work of the Wells batsmen.
Emmerson Wood and young Tom Dowding alone managed to reach double figures as the innings was taken apart by a varied attack led by Adam Larking, who returned the remarkable figures of 4-10 from eight overs. The score reached 40-3 without undue alarm, yet the next seven overs produced five wickets while just six runs were added, and the effort was in freefall. Dowding then set about restoring some dignity to the scoreline, putting on 23 with Percy Watts for the ninth wicket, but the damage had been done, and the last wicket was taken at 70 after a mere 27.4 overs.
The Bapchild reply was anchored by John Heatley, who saw his side home with a patient undefeated 37 (6 fours), and, while the home attack struck twice, too little leeway was available with so small a target total, and the end came up after 26 overs with eight wickets in hand.
The total eclipse of the XI was something of a surprise, and has only sharpened the need for immediate improvement, in order that the fear of relegation does not become a reality.
Having forfeited the toss, Wells were asked to bat first, but were rocked by the loss of two quick wickets. Emmerson Wood, with a forthright and stylish half-century, led a recovery, assisted by skipper Ben Allatt (37) in a third partnership of 64, although conditions were never easy, with the home attack always posing a threat to the unwary. The youthful Tom Dowding (38) and Wes Bryce-Borthwick now fought hard to take the score along to 178-5, adding 67 for the sixth stand, but the late rush for points just missed the 200-mark, a seemingly competitive final total of 196-8 being reached.
The Wells attack was thwarted when the opening batsmen chanced their arm in posting a daring if daunting 93 before the breakthrough came, but they fought their way back in bringing the score down to 147-5 after 35 overs. The pressure was now back on the lower order, and a fine tussle ensued for supremacy. At length, the home innings passed the target total, with just four overs remaining, despite the visiting bowlers fighting to the very end, excellent spells coming from Bryce-Borthwick and Michael Churchill. Barry Clark's knock of 43 at the outset had been vital in the outcome, and seven wickets were lost in a tense chase.
The XI remain at the foot of the table, and will need to turn much promise into fulfillment as they protect their hard-won status in the Kent League.
Played out on the hastily-repaired Upper Ground, the game saw the Offham First XI win the toss and bat so effectively that a very impressive total was managed which included three half-centuries, Ben Gittings unluckily ending on an undefeated 98*. The massive victory that ensued owed much to this avalanche of runs, but the home batting was somewhat dismal in the face of a confident attack.
Wells snatched an early wicket, but the visitors' top order pulled away in consolidation at an alarming rate as Tom Gittings (66) led the way, supported by Leonard Watt (52) as the bowling was mastered in overwhelming manner. Ben Gittings joined in the run-spree from 107-2, his steady effort providing the backbone of the innings while the later batsmen hit out. Mark Thompson (3-63) persevered manfully, although the balance of the attack was severely hammered as the score advanced to 287-6 as the overs ran out.
The reply never really got going, despite some middle order resistance, and reached 88-5 before Simon Hallbrook (4-19) cleaned up the tail in short order, with Wells failing even to reach three figures. David Pinkstone, following his maiden century earlier in the year, top-scored with 26, and received assistance from Makarand Malandkar, Callum Wood (24) having averted a complete eclipse at the start. The remaining members of the Offham attack all prospered, sharing out the wickets, and a defeat for Wells was administered by 189 runs, with the innings occupying just 26.2 overs.
Wells' third string visited Macknade for their first foray into KL territory proper, and, while enduring a chastening experience first-up, came away with many positives, and the knowledge of just what is required at the new level.
Batting first after losing the toss, Wells slipped to 24-3 before Elliott Hughes (33) and James Sharp consolidated the effort as 59 runs were added, but the canny home attack then broke the back of the innings with five wickets while just nine runs were added. A magnificent rearguard was then founded upon the work of number ten youngster Ben Watts (33), whose mature innings was supported by the tail so well that 49 more runs were posted, although the end came with some three overs unused. Former skipper David Wells assisted fully in the recovery, which lasted defiantly through eighteen overs, with 22 added for the last stand as Percy Watts stood firm. The skilful Jamie Rigden (5-26) took the honours for the attack, while the early damage had been done by Kaylem Short and James Jarrett, with follow-up from Phil Rowcroft, and the target set was a seemingly modest 143 for victory.
The home reply subsided swiftly as three quick wickets tumbled on the testing track, but the momentum could not be sustained by Wells. The vastly experienced Short withstood the early troubles, and, partnered by the pugnacious Lee Rigden (37), saw to a match-turning partnership that passed the hundred mark without further mishap, and, with L.Rigden's dismissal, Scott Davenport hastened the victory charge, Short carrying out his bat for an undefeated 55 as the win was posted. The crescendo of scoring towards the end meant that the total set was passed in just 33 overs, Wells' options in attack being limited by insufficient runs in the bank, and the spinners were unable to arrest the trend in the closing phase.

New SMB Smart Storage Product Line Launched by Cisco
Cisco Systems, the world's largest IT networking company, has famously been moving into the data center systems business the last couple of years. But what a lot of people don't realize is that Cisco is also getting deeper into network storage for small and medium-size businesses.
The Small Business NSS 300 Series consists of two-bay, four-bay and six-bay desktop network storage units and provides small business users with a single system that comes with preinstalled business applications.
Cisco quietly introduced its first storage hardware products, the NSS2000 and NSS3000 units, in spring 2009. Much development has ensued since.

Definitions for virtual reality
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word virtual reality
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
vir′tual real′ity(n.)
a realistic simulation of an environment, including three-dimensional graphics, by a computer system using interactive software and hardware.
Category: Computers
Origin of virtual reality:
Princeton's WordNet
virtual reality(noun)
a hypothetical three-dimensional visual world created by a computer; user wears special goggles and fiber optic gloves etc., and can enter and move about in this world and interact with objects as if inside it
Kernerman English Learner's Dictionary
virtual reality(noun)ˈvɜr tʃu ə li
computer generated images and sound that seem very similar to the real world
virtual reality animation software
virtual reality(Noun)
A reality that is only based in the computer.
Origin: From virtual and reality
Virtual reality
Virtual reality is a term that applies to computer-simulated environments that can simulate physical presence in places in the real world, as well as in imaginary worlds. Most current virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones. Some advanced, haptic systems now include tactile information, generally known as force feedback, in medical and gaming applications. Furthermore, virtual reality covers remote communication environments which provide virtual presence of users with the concepts of telepresence and telexistence or a virtual artifact either through the use of standard input devices such as a keyboard and mouse, or through multimodal devices such as a wired glove, the Polhemus, and omnidirectional treadmills. The simulated environment can be similar to the real world in order to create a lifelike experience—for example, in simulations for pilot or combat training—or it can differ significantly from reality, such as in VR games. In practice, it is currently very difficult to create a high-fidelity virtual reality experience, due largely to technical limitations on processing power, image resolution, and communication bandwidth; however, the technology's proponents hope that such limitations will be overcome as processor, imaging, and data communication technologies become more powerful and cost-effective over time.
The New Hacker's Dictionary
virtual reality
1. Computer simulations that use 3-D graphics and devices such as the Dataglove to allow the user to interact with the simulation. See cyberspace. 2. A form of network interaction incorporating aspects of role-playing games, interactive theater, improvisational comedy, and 'true confessions' magazines. In a virtual reality forum (such as Usenet's alt.callahans newsgroup or the MUD experiments on Internet), interaction between the participants is written like a shared novel complete with scenery, foreground characters that may be personae utterly unlike the people who write them, and common background characters manipulable by all parties. The one iron law is that you may not write irreversible changes to a character without the consent of the person who 'owns' it. Otherwise anything goes. See bamf, cyberspace, teledildonics.

The King Has Returned: Shop Opening Ceremony's Elvis Collection Now!
Senior Digital Editor
Sure, we love our rock 'n' roll greats unconditionally and regardless of mainstream trends—but every few years, a classic musical legend seems to become especially popular. Back in 2005, just after Walk the Line hit theaters, every single one of my college friends went absolutely crazy for Johnny Cash, creating iTunes playlists devoted exclusively to the country legend and humming "Walk the Line" under their breath wherever they went. Two years later, as soon as La Vie en Rose came out, "Je ne regrette rien" somehow became everyone's favorite tune (and somehow worked its way into 2010's Inception (case in point?).
Now, it seems as though 2013 is slated to be Elvis' year, at least among fashion folks—but it's not because of a biopic or special-edition rerelease of the King's greatest hits. Nope, it's because of Opening Ceremony's new collection of sweatshirts, denim jackets and tees devoted to the Graceland great. The OC x Elvis capsule, shoppable now, includes pullovers emblazoned with some of Elvis' most renowned singles—"Love Me Tender," "Heartbreak Hotel," "Suspicious Minds"—as well as a number of items splashed with the singer's unforgettable visage. The only thing that's egregiously absent from the lineup? A pair of blue suede shoes. C'mon, OC!

First, the "yield" on this recipe is totally inaccurate. It says 1 cup, so I doubled the recipe for a cocktail party, and I ended up with about a gallon of mousse. (The actual yield for the recipe as-is is about 6-8 cups, if not more. Second, be very careful when heating the curd. If you go a little past the perfect point, the egg whites start to curdle. It doesn't affect the taste, but it does affect the texture. Third, as my husband noted, the final product is a bit one-note ish. It's delicious, but it's only lemony. Next time, I would skip the lemon vodka and add a different flavored liquor to add another dimension--maybe Grand Marnier, or even some plum wine. I might also squeeze in a 1/4 cup of a different citrus--maybe grapefruit, orange, or tangerine.

The Washington Post adds some anecdotal evidence on the low support for the bailout:
"I'm worried that the taxpayers are going to wind up paying for all this," said Arlena Elbaraka, 38, who lives in the manicured neighborhood of Blooms Crossing.
"Who ends up losing from all this? Us, right?" asked Rogelio Benitez, 36, a home-improvement contractor who lives with his wife and six kids in a working-class neighborhood on the western edge of town.
"I'm not overextended," Merkle said. "I didn't buy a large home that I can't afford. I'm not behind on any of my payments. I'm not sure I want the government to take my tax dollars and buy someone else's house for them."
Then there is an unpleasant (for this reader at least) surprise near the end of the article. A lone dissenter from the widespread dissatisfaction with the latest scam (emphasis mine):
Hours of interviews in Manassas Park turned up exactly one resident in favor of the bailout, a fellow in a Harvard T-shirt in a big house near the golf course. Richard Bejtlich, 36, who works in computer security for General Electric — its stock jumped dramatically Friday when the government banned short-selling of financial securities — says he's a libertarian and normally wouldn't support government intervention. But there's no other way at this point, he says, because we're in too deep of a hole and have been too profligate.
Thank you Beltway libertarians… You have done your job well. Collect your 30 pieces of silver at the temple.1:13 pm on September 22, 2008 Email Stephen W. Carson

Ashlee Simpson went on the drunken offensive Monday night when Pete Wentz and she sat next to his ex Michelle Trachtenberg at the DJ Hero party. Things were cordial until Ashlee turned into Bourbon She-Ra. Then the shit was on.

Tesla has released some preliminary plans. The rumours about their looking at sites in New Mexico and Nevada were correct. There are also potential locations in Arizona and Texas. Tesla is making a final site selection and hopes to start construction on the Gigafactory this year. By 2020, they hope to be producing 500,000 vehicles a year.
Tesla estimates it will need $4 -$5 billion to do this. It intends to raise $1.6 billion by selling bonds, but has also been looking for partners. That explains the meetings with high profile companies like Apple. (As Bloomberg puts it, Apple has $158 billion burning a hole in its pocket and "could do worse than to become synonymous with the current "it" company in tech and automaking.") Rumour has it that Panasonic and Sanyo may each put in a billion.
In their press relase, Tesla says, "As we at Tesla reach for our goal of producing a mass market electric car in approximately three years, we have an opportunity to leverage our projected demand for lithium ion batteries to reduce their cost faster than previously thought possible. In cooperation with strategic battery manufacturing partners, we're planning to build a large scale factory that will allow us to achieve economies of scale and minimize costs through innovative manufacturing, reduction of logistics waste, optimization of co-located processes and reduced overhead.
"The Gigafactory is designed to reduce cell costs much faster than the status quo and, by 2020, produce more lithium ion batteries annually than were produced worldwide in 2013. By the end of the first year of volume production of our mass market vehicle, we expect the Gigafactory will have driven down the per kWh cost of our battery pack by more than 30 percent."
The Finished batteries will be shipped back to Fremont, where Tesla will continue to assemble finished vehicles.
This is all speculation, of course, but is anyone willing to bet Elon Musk won't do it?
Meanwhile Consumer Reports has named "the slick, electric powered Tesla's Model S " as its best overall pick for 2014 and a Morgan Stanley analyist predicts the companies shares will hit $320. (They just jumped to an all time high of $259).
