We've come to assume that the long-term intimate relationship involves physical as well as emotional closeness. However, couples may decide for a variety of reasons that sex is not a key feature of their particular relationship. Over time, some may evolve through a set of phases from passionate to companionate marriage. For other long-term relationships, however, the ties that bind are intrinsically linked to physical expressions of affection. What determines which couples choose the sexless route and which remain sexually active well into their later years?
A recent New York Times interview with family sociologist Denise Donnelly explored the factors that contribute to sexless marriages, incorporating data from the General Social Survey to understand how these relationships come about and what keeps them going. I decided to explore the published literature on the topic and came across a 2008 paper written by Donnelly and fellow sociologist Elizabeth Burgess. This landmark paper identified the complex factors leading up to the sexless marriage and points to ways that couples in these relationships adapt and evolve over time.

Martin McDonagh (born 26 March 1970) is a contemporary Anglo-Irish playwright. He was born in Camberwell, London, to Irish parents. His mother (originally from Killeenduff, Easky, County Sligo) and his father (originally from Lettermullen, Connemara, County Galway) later moved back to Galway, leaving Martin and his brother (screenwriter John Michael McDonagh) in London, where Martin began collecting the dole at age 16.
During visits to Galway in the summers, McDonagh became acquainted with the curious dialect of English spoken in western Ireland, which he would later put to work in his plays. His ironic combination of coarse country language, primal symbology and black humour represents a peculiar fusion of the work of John Millington Synge with the modern drama of Harold Pinter, David Mamet and British television comedy.
He has been awarded London Critics' Circle Theatre Awards for Most Promising Playwright in 1996.
He has to date developed two dark comedic trilogies, the Galway trilogy and the Aran Islands trilogy, as well as some radio plays.
Though many find his work unique, he owes great debts to American writers Beth Henley and Sam Shepard, whose influences and tones are quite apparent in McDonagh's work, especially The Beauty Queen of Leenane.
In March 2006 he won an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film for Six Shooter a film he wrote and directed.
The Leenane Trilogy
The Beauty Queen of Leenane (1996)
The story of the disfunctional relationship between a spinster and her domineering mother, during the course of which the former faces her last chance at love, and the latter faces a rather grim end. Nominated for Tony Award for Best Play in 1998.
A Skull in Connemara (1997)
A Connemara man has the job of smashing the skeletons in old graves, and his newest customer is the wife he killed years before, which may or may not have been accidental.
The Lonesome West (1997)
An Erinization of Sam Shepard's True West, in which two brothers bicker in the aftermath of the supposedly accidental fatal shooting of their father. Nominated for Tony Award for Best Play in 1999.
The Aran Islands Trilogy
The Cripple of Inishmaan (1996)
A little crippled boy schemes to get a part in Man of Aran. Dark comedy ensues.
The Lieutenant of Inishmore (2001)
The insane leader of an IRA splinter group has just found out his best friend has been killed. The best friend is a cat...
The Banshees of Inisheer
The grand finale of the Aran Islands trilogy.
Other Plays
The Pillowman (2003)
McDonagh has also written The Pillowman (2003), in which a horror writer is interrogated after several local children are murdered (awarded Laurence Olivier Award for Best new play in 2004), and The Mamturk Rifleman.
Other works
In 2006, Martin McDonagh won an Oscar for his short film Six Shooter.
Six Shooter, which is the playwright's first move into film, boasts an impressive list of Irish talent including Brendan Gleeson, Ruaidhri Conroy, David Wilmot and Aisling O'Sullivan.
The black comedy follows Gleeson as he makes a sad train journey home, just hours after his wife's death, but on the trip he encounters a strange and possibly psychotic young man. The short film was shot on location in Wicklow, Waterford and Rosslare.
In Bruges
After winning his Oscar for Six Shooter, McDonagh entered into an agreement with Focus Features to direct a full length feature from his screenplay "In Bruges," about two hit men who hide out in Bruges after accidentally killing a child. As of July 2006, Colin Farrell was reportedly cast in the feature.

Investments are a bet on the future. Could that future be foretold through complex readings of our solar system? And if it can, what do the stars say about the economy in 2012?
J.P. Morgan once famously said that millionaires don't need astrologers, but billionaires do. Are we in charge of the economic matters on earth, or are invisible forces "out there" shaping the economic and social outcomes of individual nations?
J.P. Morgan thought there was more to the market than timing, and he used astrologers to help guide him in that timing in his businesses and investments. He's not alone.
Raymond Merriman has been at this for more than 30 years. His Michigan based company, MMA Cycles has over 7,000 subscribers, many of them from well-known investment banks and broker-dealers. They're portfolio managers, certified financial planners and heads of trading firms primarily from New York, Chicago, Tokyo to Zurich. Some know a thing or two about astrology. Others are looking for a little extra-terrestrial advice.
"They come for my analysis on various markets based on planetary cycles, pattern recognition and geocosmic market turning points," he said. "Most of them all understand the market, but they don't have this kind of edge on market timing."
Analysts like Merriman use complex planetary charts to decipher where an economy, or investment, is heading. It's approach, like fundamental or technical analysis, can be either top down — a big picture look at the whole economy — or bottom up — which examines an individual company.
To do that kind of research, analysts need the company or country's birth date in order to see where the planets were traveling through the solar system, and through which constellations, at the time. The people who do this kind of work call themselves astrological economists or financial astrologists. The work they do is not comparable to the garden variety horoscope.

My role: Custom WordPress theme design & development.
Project description
I built this site for a good friend of mine who is incredibly skilled with a camera. She wanted a website that serves as a place where she can write, explore and experiment with photography and everything in between.
- A fun, highly-textured design. Vintage paper, clouds and birds create a fun, whimsical scene.
- If the website is viewed during the evening hours, the header graphic changes to a whimsy night scene.
- A fun parallax effect is used on the header to make the clouds scroll horizontally when the mouse moves over them. The night scene also has a fun parallax effect (stars instead of clouds).
- WordPress as a content management system. WordPress provides the flexibility to provide the simplicity, with room for future expansion if needed. A few plugins were utilized to provide front-end editing, a contact form and enhanced SEO optimization.
- Thumnails for up to three featured posts will appear in the header as "hanging photos".

Main Collection Spring - Summer 2014
She sails to the outer edges of her dreams. The Gateway to the Orient at the end of the Mediterranean. The mythical Bosphorus, a frontier crossed by boat. The play of dark and light through lacy mashrabiya crocheted from languid marble. The fresh cotton that snaps in the breeze after an invigorating dip in the sea. Dazzling white. The nonchalance of long walks in the sand in the coppery light of endless evenings. Nights thick with heady floral perfumes under the warmth of multicolored lanterns. With an evanescent elegance, draped in bronze robes, she moves in languorous ripples. Free as the air, modest and mischievous as the sea. She is in love.

The idea of "slow art" has its origins in the "slow food" movement centered on the enjoyment and appreciation of food that began in Italy in the late 1980s. The aim of the slow art movement is to break from the frenetic pace of modern life to simply enjoy works of art in a deliberate and unhurried fashion. Led by a Modern docent the third Friday of each month, Slow Art at the Modern features a 30-minute tour beginning at 5:30 pm that focuses on one work of art.

Why this waste?
1 John 2:17 And the world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God abides forever.
Of all the things that can be wasted, the most tragic is that of a wasted human life.
Thousands of lives are wasted in that they are murdered before they ever see the light of day.
An untold number of other lives are wasted by the slow process of self destruction.
Such things as drugs, an immoral lifestyle, as well as the pressure to be accepted by one's lawless peer group gradually brings lives to utter ruin.
There are those children who grow up with the constant encouraging to "make something" of themselves.
More often than not that means they should get an education and subsequently a good job or some respectable position in life.
They are expected to have a good income, own their own home and car and be a positive influence in the community.
Many have achieved these goals whose lives may in a very real sense be wasted.
Whether or not a life is wasted is ultimately determined not by one's present apparent success but rather by the state of one's soul after death.
Many live their lives without giving any apparent serious thought to the will of God.
Their entire life is lived as if there were no God to answer to in a day of final judgment.
On one occasion, a woman who was known as Mary of Bethany anointed Christ with a very costly ointment.
The disciples were indignant at such a lavish display of devotion and made it clear in their own words that they considered such a use of costly ointment to be a waste.
They even went so far as to suggest that a much better use if it could have been made had it been sold and the money given to the poor. Christ responded by making it clear to the disciples that what Mary had done was good and furthermore He proclaimed that she would be remembered perpetually for it.
The fact that she is being mentioned in this article is proof that her good work has not been forgotten and buried in obscurity.
The verse quoted at the beginning of this article states, "...the one who does the will of God abides forever."
The world often looks upon those who are willing to forfeit those things which the world esteems as important in order that they might give themselves to a God honoring life as "wasted."
That which is freely given to Christ, whether it is costly ointment or one's life, is never wasted.
It will prove in the last day to be the solid gold of good works rather than wood, hay and stubble which will be destroyed by the fire of God's judgment.

The Natural Resources Defense Council reported that the latest-generation game consoles are on track to cost American consumers $400 million in annual utility bills while they are unused in standby mode, and will cost a total of $1 billion annually in utility costs.
NRDC estimates the consoles will use enough electricity annually to power all the homes in Houston, the fourth-largest United States city.
NRDC testing showed that the new Microsoft Xbox One is the biggest energy user of the three most popular consoles, largely due to its voice command feature in standby mode. No. 2 is the Sony PlayStation 4, which NRDC said has inefficient controller charging. The consoles have incorporated energy-saving features but expanded capabilities result in annual electricity consumption two to three times higher than their most recent predecessor models. NRDC characterized console No. 3, the Nintendo Wii U, as an "energy sipper" compared to the Xbox One and PS4.
"If Microsoft and Sony follow NRDC's recommendations, they could cut the new consoles' electricity use by one-fourth beyond current projections through software and hardware optimizations, saving U.S. consumers $250 million on their annual utility bills and enough energy to power all the households in San Jose, America's 10th-largest city," said Pierre Delforge, NRDC director of high-tech energy efficiency, whose team performed the testing.
There have been an estimated 110 million game consoles sold in the United States since 2005, which is almost enough to put one in every home. NRDC said that once all prior generation consoles are replaced, the new models collectively will use approximately 10 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
NRDC findings:
• Almost half of the Xbox One's annual energy consumption occurs when no one is using it; the unit listens for a users to say "Xbox on" even in the middle of the night or when no one's home.
• The PS4 and Xbox One use 30 to 45 times more power to stream a movie than dedicated media players (such as Apple TV or Google Chromecast).
The report is at http://www.nrdc.org/energy/game-consoles/default.asp.

Changing Picks?

Last week Garrett Downing posted a late for work article with the afc championship predictions. For espn, only 4 of 12 picked ravens over partiots. Now it has 5 of 12 picked ravens; with changed pick from Keyshawn Johnson. He should have been 0-2 last week. That is a little weird, in a profession where crediability is imortant.

I question how important their credibility is. They all just pick who is favored in their matchups and give a lame cookie cutter justification for it. A teenager can do what they do.

LOS ALTOS, CA, April 4, 2013 – In his testimony before the Senate Health Committee in 2009, Dr. Dean Ornish, founder and president of the California-based Preventative Medicine Research Institute (PMRI) and professor of medicine at University of California, San Francisco, made it clear that the road to better health is not paved with new drugs and high-tech surgery but by maintaining healthy habits.
"Last year, $2.1 trillion were spent in this country on medical care, or 16.5% of the gross national product, and 95 cents of every dollar were spent to treat disease after it had already occurred," he said. "Heart disease, diabetes, prostate and breast cancer, and obesity account for 75% of these health care costs, and yet these are largely preventable and even reversible by changing diet and lifestyle.
"What we eat, how we respond to stress, whether or not we smoke cigarettes, how much exercise we get, and the quality of our relationships and social support can be as powerful as drugs and surgery…. Often, even better."
A little more than a year after he gave this testimony – and after a total of 16 years of effort – Medicare gave its seal of approval to what's now officially known as the Dr. Dean Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease, a regimen that takes into account nutrition, fitness, stress management, and our connection with others as part of an integrated approach to improved minds and bodies.
Although Dr. Ornish stresses the fact that no one aspect of his system – known colloquially as The Ornish Spectrum – is sufficient by itself, he places special emphasis on the need for love and support.
"There isn't any other factor in medicine – not diet, not smoking, not exercise, not stress, not genetics, not drugs, not surgery – that has a greater impact on our quality of life, incidence of illness and premature death from all causes than loneliness and isolation" he writes on his web site.
"Love and intimacy — our ability to connect with ourselves and others, is at the root of what makes us sick and what makes us well, what causes sadness and what brings happiness, what makes us suffer and what leads to healing."
During a recent conversation, I asked Dr. Ornish how he happened to come to this conclusion.
"I wrote a book about this in 1998 called 'Love and Survival' in which I reviewed the evidence at the time," he said. "There were hundreds of studies, thousands of studies now, showing that people who feel lonely, depressed, and isolated are three to ten times more likely to get sick and die prematurely than those who have a sense of love and connection.
"It's very hard to get people to change their lifestyle unless you deal with these deeper issues. I've been impressed that the need for love and intimacy is as primal a human need as is the need for air and water and sleep."
He went on to say that it's not just our relationships with one another that can have a significant impact on our health but also our relationship with the divine.
"Anything that can create that experience of connection to something beyond oneself is healing."
Our conversation then turned to those qualities of thought that can help or hinder our ability to cultivate these healthy connections and, by association, healthy lives. Number one on that list is compassion.
During his first study on heart disease in 1977, Dr. Ornish found himself intervening in an argument between two men, which resulted in both individuals suffering severe chest pains.
"I said, 'For your own health and well-being, I want you to be more compassionate with each other, not because it's going to give you some external reward in the future [but because] that's what's going to free you from your suffering right here and right now.'
"When you're compassionate, when you're forgiving, it doesn't condone or excuse what the other person's done, but it frees you from the suffering that goes along with that."
And what about the flip side of the coin? Dr. Ornish uses the term "spiritual heart disease" to describe that frame of mind that tends to distance us from one another and, I might add, the aforementioned divine.
"The most toxic emotions are anger, fear, anxiety, and cynicism," he said, "not Type A behavior or multitasking or leading a productive life."
"Chronic hostility and anger and cynicism are among the most toxic emotions to the heart."
Of course, it's one thing to tell someone they should be more compassionate and less hostile, but quite another to compel this behavior, even when they're faced with a life-threatening disease.
What does Dr. Ornish recommend?
"I've learned that anything that tries to motivate people to change based on fear is not sustainable. Fear is not a sustainable motivator, but joy is."
According to Dr. Ornish, this sense of joy and sustainable health comes from discovering that what you're being asked to give up – whether it's an unhealthy habit or an unhealthy quality of thought – pales in comparison to the immediate benefits received.
Towards the end of our conversation, I couldn't help but connect the dots between what I was hearing and my own religious upbringing. Ever since I was a kid I've been doing my best to put into practice not only what I've read in the Bible but what I have felt intuitively. It's also what Dr. Ornish has been encouraging in others for the past 36 years: to nurture a sense of what I think of as divinely inspired compassion – both for ourselves and others – and to let go of those elements of thought that are anything but conducive to our health.
It's a prescription that's been around for millennia and continues to work wonders.
"We don't have to wait for a new breakthrough," said Dr. Ornish, "we just need to put into practice what we already know."

May 23, 2013 Update
Dear Fellow Members:
We are writing to you to provide an update about the Vacation Rental Switch program.
VRMA launched its initiative to address and seek a solution to one of the biggest business challenges faced by our professional manager members: expensive distribution of vacation rentals through multiple third party channels that do not allow professional managers to showcase their company branding for properties they offer, or to differentiate their services from vacation rentals offered directly by property owners.
To provide a solution, at the beginning of 2011 VRMA requested third party proposals to provide a combination of technology and services we believed would be required to create and manage a customized Vacation Rental Switch program for our members. Following a competitive proposal process VRMA entered into a comprehensive "Services And Alliance Agreement" with Pegasus Solutions, Inc., a global travel technology company and the largest third party marketing and reservation provider in the world, to provide required technology and interfaces and, together with VRMA, to develop, implement and manage a customized Vacation Rental Switch program on behalf of VRMA and its members.
While both VRMA and Pegasus committed significant time and resources to implement the "Services And Alliance Agreement" and related agreements with our members and other third party providers, we encountered technical delays, resource requirements, and implementation challenges that were unforeseen at the inception of the Agreement. After careful review of the progress achieved to date and the implementation challenges remaining, VRMA and Pegasus have mutually agreed to terminate the "Services And Alliance Agreement" and other related agreements prior to their expiration in 2014. The VRMA will now explore seeking another third party provider to finalize and implement the Vacation Rental Switch.
While the implementation of the Vacation Rental Switch program has been more challenging and has taken longer than originally anticipated, we have learned a great deal from our experience to date, including a better understanding of the technology requirements and business relationships unique to our industry. VRMA has remained - and remains - steadfast in ensuring that any distribution option offered by the association protects VRM branding, enables a better consumer experience, and affordably facilitates easy, widespread distribution for vacation rental managers. Since announcing this initiative three years ago, the distribution landscape has changed substantially, and Pegasus' internal focus has shifted. We recognize - and share - the frustration that the Switch still is not available. But we know we must get it right.
When the National Association of Realtors made the commitment to standardize the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), not all REALTORS® thought they would participate. Now the MLS is a significant member benefit and branding for every REALTOR®. We believe that the Vacation Rental Switch will have much the same impact on the vacation rental industry.
We will keep you informed as we evaluate and pursue other business relationships to continue our progress with the Vacation Rental Switch program. If you have additional questions about the status of the program on a going forward basis, we invite you to view the Frequently Asked Questions section of our website.
We thank you for your dedication to VRMA and appreciate all you do to make it - and this industry - great.
Your VRMA Board of Directors

"Waste of time and money"
It's clearly written for women only, and should have said so in the description or maybe on the cover.
It wasn't funny. At all.
Broaden the scope, or warn the listener that it's only meant for women, and add in at least a little humor. Or maybe move it out of the comedy section. It's more self-help, anyway.
Annoyance, and a resolution to check more carefully before buying any more audio books.

Denmark's unbelievable coastline
Space for everyone
Summers can be lovely and hot in Denmark and with this much coastline around the mainland and many islands, there's always room for everyone at the beach. No endless rows of sunbeds and rushing to find the best spot here. Days at the beach in Denmark are easy and relaxing, whether you want space to enjoy the beach with your children or find your own peaceful spot to lie back on.
Active adventures
For more active beach-lovers, there are plentiful activities on offer at various beaches around the country, such as fishing, kayaking, kitesurfing and windsurfing. At Klitmøller Bay in North Jutland, you'll experience some of the best windsurfing conditions in Europe. Swimming in the sea is very popular in Denmark and with over 200 Blue Flag beaches around the coast, Denmark offers you some of the cleanest natural swimming areas in Europe.
All year round experiences
Most of Denmark's coast is open to the public. Danish beaches are incredible on stormy, rainy or frosty days, when the bracing wind and salty sea air can really revitalise you. Take a walk along a Danish beach outside of the summer season and you never know what you'll find – washed up amber, driftwood or fossils. Experiencing Denmark's wild side is a real must.

certainly in my mind it's acceptable for a long time poster to
occasionally post an OT post. I'm just sorry I have no clue to help

There is always a flood of news about Delta. Much of it does not affect us, but some of it does. Here are some news items that you may find interesting, disturbing and good to know about!
So that wraps up this week's news. Tomorrow I will have a digital treat for anyone who wants it and answer the question that has been asked about how I keep track of doing everything I should do before I fly. I hope you like it.
Gary from "
View From the Wing" had a good post yesterday about the value of this card and not just for the points! At some point over the next few months as Continental Airlines goes away and becomes United, the Chase Continental card will go away too. If you want this and are thinking about a card churn, you still have
time to get this card and the bonus if you have never had it! And I thank you so very much for supporting the blog and starting with my links! – René

NHMC Files Formal Complaint Against KTLA
Despite an apology to the El Coyote Cafe by KTLA anchor Chris Schauble, the National Hispanic Media Coalition has filed a formal complaint against the station following a racist remark during an on-air segment on June 11.
During a segment where KTLA was interviewing employees at the legendary Mexican dining establishment, Schauble was caught saying "bond hearings" in reference to the good times the workers share together.
"We are disappointed that KTLA management did not ask Schauble to apologize on air," NHMC's president Alex Nogales said in a statement. "Comments such as Schauble's help perpetuate negative stereotypes. The offense is made worse when it's done in a news segment. NHMC will record Schauble's negligence by filing a formal complaint."

Now that computers and the Internet have radically changed the way businesses create and transmit information, questions about discovery rules in litigation continue to arise, such as which party should pay for producing electronic discovery. The courts are now considering cost shifting when the cost of production is unduly burdensome on the producing party by applying a seven-factor test. However, cost shifting is not always considered or granted, which is why it is important to have electronic documents relevant to anticipated litigation accessible in order to minimize the cost of producing electronic discovery.
This Article will examine how courts are determining who should pay for electronic document production and suggest how lawyers should advice their clients in order to reduce the cost and burden of producing e-discovery.

In-Line FM Trap
In-line notch filter provides significant reduction in interference in cable television systems caused by strong FM radio stations. Simply connect in line between the source and television set or cable box. Bi-directional filter can be connected in either direction. Input and output connections are both "F" type female.
There are two ways to design an FM trap
1) make sure it kills all FM in spite of what it does to adjacent channels
2) kill as much of the FM band as possible without affecting adjacent channels.
There is no right way, just right for your application.
The designers of this part chose method 1. The 20 dB attenuation spec on this part is a minimum attenuation within the FM band. Mid band it is more like 30 dB attenuation.
I bought 6 of these, and they very quite a bit, but all of them meet the 20 dB attenuation spec.
Since the high end of channel 6 is 88MHz and the low end of the FM band is 88MHz, if you kill the whole FM band (as this part is designed to do), you also kill channel 6. At the low end of channel 6, the attenuation varied part to part between 5.39 to 7.7 dB, at the high end, the attenuation varied between 26.2 dB and 34.3 dB, so if you are trying to get channels 5 or 6, this is not the right part for you, otherwise it works fine.

The Iraqi economy has slowly recovered from the hostilities that began in 2003, but progress has been uneven, and the country faces continuing political and security challenges. Iraq was last graded in the 2002 Index, when it received an overall score of 15.6.With its economic growth highly volatile, Iraq's ongoing economic reconstruction, though facilitated by the oil sector and foreign economic aid, has been fragile. Political instability and corruption continue to undermine the limited progress made in past years.Operating well below potential, the Iraqi economy is burdened by systemic problems. A lack of transparency exacerbates the negative impact on entrepreneurial activity of inefficient business regulations, forestalling the emergence of a dynamic private sector. The economy lacks effective monetary and fiscal policies. The weak state of the financial system, coupled with its limited role within the economy, hampers investment and the everyday operation of businesses. Read more about Iraq Economy. Close Background Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Shia-dominated coalition government has lost support among Sunni Arabs and Kurds, who charge that he has adopted a sectarian agenda. The Sunni Arab minority staged a series of protests beginning in 2012 that threatened to devolve into a renewed civil war unless their complaints of marginalization were addressed. Iraq's state-dominated economy grew by over 9 percent in 2011 and over 10 percent in 2012, propelled by high oil prices and the recovery of the oil industry, which provides more than 90 percent of government revenue. Oil exports rose to 2.6 million barrels per day, a 30-year high. Inadequate infrastructure, weak property rights, bureaucratic red tape, and widespread corruption continue to impede development.

Since I received so many positive responses to yesterday's post about following food rules, I thought I should share a few "food rules" that my fellow bloggers practice. These are healthy, not quirky, and definitely keepers!! If you have not yet read the post…do so now!!
Oh and don't forget!! Only 2 more days to enter the Kardea Nutrition Bar Giveaway!
Gina from The Candid RD:
"I do live by one food rule, religiously (accept for the occasional weekend when I let it slide…) and that is that I try not to consume more than about 25 grams of added sugar each day. IT sounds easy, but it's not! Added sugar is everywhere. This rule really helps me stay on track with my "healthy eating plan"
Lynn from I'll Have What She's Having:
"I think the only food rule I follow is "Eat real food". I try to avoid processed food as much as I can because I have no idea whats in them."
Mary from Bites and Bliss:
I live by one food rule religiously:
"Eat what your body wants when it wants it.
Not saying we should run out and buy a cake whenever we crave it..but if your body's craving carbs, have carbs. If it needs sugar, have fruit. Cravings occur for a reason and it's usually because our bodies actually *need* that certain macromolecule. And if that happens to be at midnight then so be it."
Monica from Monica Nelson Fitness:
"Listen to your body and nourish it- is my rule."
Thanks friends for helping to inspire healthy eating practices!!
Okay back to the new recipe!
Since I don't have much time this morning, I'm leaving you with a STELLAR recipe that is super tasty, nutritious, and easy to throw together! You will LOVE this one, even those ladies with bean-shy men!! Brandon loved it. Take it from me, print this one out and use it!! You won't regret it!!!!
Black Bean and Corn Salad:
Makes 8 servings (very generous servings…).
- 1 (15 oz) can organic black beans, rinsed and drained (no added salt variety preferred)
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2-3/4 cup diced sweet red pepper
- 1 zucchini, diced and cubed
- 1/2 cup diced white onion
- 3 T cilantro (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- dash of oregano
- 1/4 cup diced green onion (I did not add this but just thought it would make a great addition!)
For wraps:
- whole wheat tortilla wraps (I used La Tortilla Factory brand)
- shredded cheddar cheese
- salsa
- sour cream
- guacamole
Mix all ingredients in large bowl (black beans—>green onion).
Assemble wraps: 1 tortilla + 1/4 cup shredded cheddar + 1/3 cup bean mixture. Roll.
Heat skillet, spray with cooking spray, place wrap seam side down in skillet and cook until heated through and cheese is melted (flipping once). Slice in two and top with salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole as you like!
I did not use any salsa, sour cream, or guac because we were out and my avocado was old But it was still super tasty without!!
Other ideas for mixture:
- Salad topper
- Quesadilla filling
- Use as a salsa dip with tortilla chips

Thanks for your reply!
I have production server (Slackware 10) with sendmail running with about 200 mailusers.
Now i am configuiring a debian system with ISPConfig because it's great in Configuration because some Users want to change own pwds and add some aliases. Now i am doing this with Webmin.
I want to copy all the users and the mailboxes to the new system so that old users can get the mails. And if a User want to create new account he ads one with ISPConfig.
So will have some old mailboxes that can not be configuired with ISPConfig and then the new mailboxes that the Users will create themself.
I am confused
. I must migrate the mailboxes without touching original User/Pwds.

Decrees of God
The Decrees of God are His eternal purpose, according to His will, whereby He has foreordained whatever comes to pass. His Decrees do not negate the responsibility of people for their sins, nor does it mean that God is responsible for sin. But, it necessarily is true that God knows all things actual as well as potential and that which exists exists due to His creative effort. It also follows that God has eternally known all events that have occurred, are occurring, and will occur in this creation including the fall, redemption, glorification, etc. Yet, God is not the one responsible for the sin in the world but has decreed, by His permission, that it be allowed to exist. Isaiah 46:9-10 says,
"Remember the former things long past, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things which have not been done, saying, 'My purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure."
God's efficacious decrees are those decrees which God has purposed and determined to occur, i.e., Acts 2:23 "this Man, delivered up by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death." God's permissive decrees are those decrees where He permits things to occur such as evil.

Illinois' Nathan Scheelhaase has improved "every aspect of his passing," according to offensive coordinator Paul Petrino. | Darrell Hoemann~AP
As a freshman, Nathan Scheelhaase had a big second half in 2010. As a sophomore, he's aiming to help Illinois improve on last year's 7-6 record. He has done all the offseason work to reach that goal, adding weight, arm strength and a deeper understanding of Paul Petrino's playbook.
First 6 Final 7
games games
Passing yds/gm 130.2 149.1
TD passes 4 13
Interceptions 7 1
Rushing yds 288 580
Rushing yds/gm 48.0 82.9
Updated: November 4, 2011 9:39AM
Illini basketball great Dee Brown, who played a little quarterback at Proviso East, knows talent. That's why he wore Nathan Scheelhaase's No. 2 football jersey at a basketball reunion in Champaign this summer.
''He said, 'Man, you're the truth,' '' Scheelhaase said. ''It's good to get that respect. For him to have a No. 2 jersey was pretty cool. Even though I'm in a prominent position as the quarterback, I'm still star struck by seeing guys like him.''
Wisconsin running back James White might have been the Big Ten freshman of the year. But Scheelhaase was the most valuable freshman. Without Scheelhaase, who was named Big Ten freshman of the week six times, Illinois probably would have finished in Danville.
Underappreciated. Overlooked. Any way you slice it, Scheelhaase is the biggest reason the Illini, coming off a rout of Baylor in the Texas Bowl, have a chance to put together back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1991-92.
That's especially true because talented offensive coordinator Paul Petrino, like Scheelhaase, is heading into his second season at the helm. Not only will Scheelhaase be capable of more, everyone around him will have the benefit of being in Petrino's system for the second year.
''A quarterback being in the second year is real big,'' Petrino said. ''We put a lot of pressure on our quarterback to make checks at the line of scrimmage in the running game and our protections. Mentally, Nathan is so much sharper, so much more confident. He can go out there and play; he's not worried about making mistakes. As a result, we can advance [the offensive sets] a lot faster because of Nathan being in his second year.''
It seems logical to expect Scheelhaase, who threw for 13 of his 17 touchdowns in Illinois' final seven games last year, to be a bigger passing threat right out of the gate this fall. Then again, he also ran for almost twice as many yards (580) in those final seven games as he did in the first six games (288).
Scheelhaase's goal?
''I want to be more of a winner this year, not more of a thrower,'' he said. ''I like running the ball. I like throwing the ball. Whatever it takes. I want to win more games than we did last year. If that takes running, throwing, kicking off, running down a kickoff, it doesn't matter. I want to put our team in the best position I can.''
Scheelhaase is more ready physically to do the job. He's up almost 10 pounds from the 195 he started at last year. And he's confident he'll keep weight on during the season.
''I lost a lot of weight during the season last year,'' he said. ''I'm focused on maintaining this year.''
He's also a much better thrower, Petrino said.
''His arm strength is really improved. Accuracy, improved. Quick release, improved,'' Petrino said. ''Every aspect of his passing is improved.''
Receiver A.J. Jenkins can attest to the new super-Nate.
''I don't know what Nate was doing,'' Jenkins said. ''I came back from a break, and he was slinging it. I guess it was the weight room. He definitely got bigger. He has some size to him now. He's one of those people who likes to work hard.''
Where Scheelhaase excels, though, might be in his decision-making and leadership. Even though he was throwing for more yards and touchdowns, only one of his modest eight interceptions came in Illinois' final seven games.
And his leadership is off the charts according to his teammates and coaches.
''He commands your attention in the huddle,'' said offensive tackle Jeff Allen. ''He's such a young guy. It's amazing to be this far ahead in the leadership game. He has a tremendous amount of respect from all of his teammates on both sides of the ball.''
Cornerback Tavon Wilson can attest to Nate, the fiery five-star general.
''He don't let nobody relax,'' Wilson said, recalling a July workout. ''We were running 100s. Me and Nate always compete against each other. I kind of fell back, and he said, 'C'mon, what are you doing?' I'm a senior leader, but he's not going to let me relax. That's the type of player I want to be around. I can't let Nate down. Nate's going to do everything he can to win, so I have to do everything I can for us to win.''
A quarterback who leads — and outruns cornerbacks? Nice.
Scheelhaase sounds too good to be true. Even his parents feel that way.
''Don't give us credit,'' said his mother, LouAnn Scheelhaase. ''He's always been that way. I always tell people he makes us try to be better. He's just a very good, focused, all-around dedicated guy.''
Scheelhaase's father, Nate Creer, who was a star defensive back at Iowa in the early 1980s, and mother have shown their commitment by moving from Kansas City to Champaign and finding jobs there.
Illinois has the right quarterback. The coaches know it. Dee Brown knows it. And don't be surprised if, by the end of this season, the rest of the Big Ten knows it.

The d2i Concept
d2i is an acronym that stands for data (d) to (2) insight (i). That summarizes the approach that I take to help businesses use data - online and offline, quantitative and qualitative - to make decisions. The process of insight discovery through measurement and analysis can transform every part of your business. You can understand the drivers of your costs in your accounting information system. You can segment and target your customers using your CRM. You can place products and recommend services using transactional data. You can identify customers that are less likely to retain your business and formulate tactics to win them over. The opportunities are limited only by the infrastructure and resources available in your business. With the right culture, measurement, reporting and analyses you can become a more informed organization, and you do not have to break the bank doing it.
Although I believe strongly that an analytical organization will lead to better results, I realize it is not applicable for every business. That is why I call my approach practical. You may lack the resources, time, history, need, and infrastructure to become a more data-driven, analytical organization. There are times where pure analytics is simply not appropriate for your business model. But regardless of the constraints and situation of your business, the merits of data and insight discovery balanced with your organization's internal expertise can help you make more enlightened decisions.

Though no cases have been reported locally, a bullied Michigan teen, Whitney Kropp, recently was nominated by her peers to be a member of the homecoming court. The kicker, of course, is that it wasn't a sincere nomination — rather, her fellow students were trying to find a way to embarrass and humiliate the teen. While the girl reportedly considered suicide because of the cruel treatment, she rose above it and got the last laugh on her classmates when people from around the country came out to support her.
Meanwhile, a Wisconsin television news anchor, Jennifer Livingston, recently fought back when a viewer attacked her via email for being overweight and a bad example of good health to the community. She went on TV and read the letter aloud and received support from across the globe. She said the email writer didn't know her and, instead of criticizing the way she did her job, something on which she would expect feedback, she was singularly identified for one characteristic the individual didn't like and held in contempt for it. Livingston, who said she believes herself to be a good community role model and parent to three daughters, took particular offense at being assessed for one trait by someone who didn't know her or her personal situation.
Numerous people across the country have endured bullying — some even committing suicide — because of their sexual orientation, race, religion or other factors. Being an individual — particularly a quirky individual — can get someone ridiculed and ostracized in their youth but then raised up as an idol as a celebrity actor, singer or other performance-oriented professional. Adults need to help kids recognize people who are bullies and those who are being bullied. They should be taught to reach out to try and help them change bullying behavior. Whether that means standing up for the person being bullied or having the courage to speak up for ourselves, bullying is a brutal practice that can have lifetime repercussions for people. Breaking the bullying cycle is much better if it never starts.
We're all better without bullying. Sadly, a lot of people still need to learn that lesson. Hopefully our local kids will be the champions that lead the way on stopping bullying.
— Jeanny Sharp, editor and publisher

Throughout the offseason, The Nats Blog will look back at every player's 2012 season to summarize and analyze his performance, and we'll look ahead to his possible role in 2013. We'll go from #1 Steve Lombardozzi all the way to #63 Henry Rodriguez until Spring Training. Enjoy.
John Lannan had the least glamorous job of his 2012 teammates, but he can easily be considered an unsung hero of the Washington Nationals' storied season.
The six-year veteran, who was once the Opening Day starter for the Nationals, began last season in the minor leagues because there was simply no room for him in the starting rotation after the acquisitions of Gio Gonzalez and Edwin Jackson during the 2011 offseason. Although Lannan asked to be traded when he learned of his demotion, Mike Rizzo did not release the reliable lefty because he knew the team would need a trustworthy starting pitcher to fill in for Stephen Strasburg after he was shut down.
Lannan struggled in the minors a bit at first, and finished his time at Triple-A Syracuse with a 4.30 ERA through 148.2 innings with 86 strikeouts and a 9-11 win-loss record. But when he was called upon to start for the major league club, he gave the Nationals exactly what they asked of him.
Of the six games he started with the 2012 Nationals, he earned four wins, one loss and a no-decision. He pitched 32 total innings with a 4.13 ERA, 17 strikeouts and a 1.44 WHIP. Although those aren't sensational numbers and Fan Graphs awarded him a WAR value of just 0.5, his contribution to the team late in the season when their ace was shut down and their pitching staff was tired goes beyond what statistics can show.
However, those mediocre numbers weren't going to earn him a spot on the 2013 roster among pitchers in the Cy Young conversation. He was non-tendered this offseason, and for the first time since being drafted by them in 2005, Lannan will play for a team that isn't the Nationals.
Next Year: After becoming a free agent, Lannan signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. He is slated to be the fifth starter for the Phillies, but it will be interesting to see how he is received by the Nationals' rivals. Phillies fans have a history of disliking Lannan for breaking Chase Utley's hand, which knocked their star out of commission during what was without a doubt the best offensive season of his career and had the potential to be a record breaking one.
